Good morning to all those present, and all those who are watching through the Amazonas satellite or the internet in the different countries; and also to missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin there in Lima, Peru, in the congregation pastored by the Reverend Ronald Rios, and all the brethren gathered there today, as our brother Miguel always does in the places where he is at (they always have meetings on Saturdays).And all those who are watching and those present here: May God bless you greatly; and may He speak directly to our souls today, our hearts, through His Word, which is what we have come to seek on this occasion, and on the other occasions in which we meet.In the Gospel according to John, in chapter 1, verse 14, it says in the following manner; the Gospel according to John, chapter 1, verse 14, says:14 _And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth._ [JBP] He writes there: [WSS] «Begotten». “THE INCARNATE WORD.”That is the topic we will be discussing in these minutes this morning.MAY GOD GIVE US A SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION TO WORK UNITED IN THE WORK OF GOD (Ministers Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, August 1, 2009 Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, MexicoNow, if you see at some point that the Son of Man sits on the Throne of David before the great tribulation, then… that judgment would be the judgment of the great tribulation (so as to leave things like that: for those who believe in one way or believe in another, to then have… there is that flexibility for all).It is the same whether it is before or after; but it will be in the time that God has established; and it will be at the Coming of the Lord with His Church, and all the holy angels will come with Him. Also remember that Christ said that in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are or will be like the angels.Well, lets leave it there. I believe that with what we have God has given us enough revelation to give us wisdom. Remember when the Archangel Gabriel or Angel Gabriel came to Daniel, Daniel would read and didnt understand, and he cried out to God, and God sent the Angel Gabriel and said to him, “I have come to you to give you wisdom, knowledge.”Reverend William Branham says that Gabriel announced the First Coming of Christ; in other words, He gave wisdom and knowledge of the Coming of the Lord. And how would it be? He made it known to Zechariah and to the virgin Mary; and then, you see, to the shepherds, when the Messiah was born.May the Lord send the Angel Gabriel from before His presence, to give us wisdom and revelation about the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, to give us wisdom and revelation about and of the Coming of the Lord to His Church in this end time. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.[JBP] It was a petition that he made there.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Lets see here, in the book of “The Restoration of Israel,” where he spoke there to them, to have this here as a foundation for the next thing we are going to be reading. (We have quoted it, but lets read it directly). And he is speaking there; on that last day, he says:Closing of the WORLD CONGRESS OF RABBIS For a better world and the 7 precepts of Noah Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, December 18, 2016 Buenos Aires, Argentina[Page 308]Elijah is promised to come before the terrible day of God comes; that is, before the Feast of Trumpets crystallizes; because the Feast of Trumpets contains the divine judgment that will fall upon mankind.Therefore, the first thing that Israel will see is Elijah proclaiming permanent peace for Israel and for all mankind within the framework of the restored Kingdom of David.The kingdom of the gentiles is in the feet of iron and clay. With the coming of the cornerstone (from Daniel, chapter 2), which is the Coming of the Son of David to sit on the Throne of David, the kingdom of the gentiles will be shattered. And the stone not cut by hands will grow, and form a kingdom, which will fill the whole Earth. And that is where peace will come for Israel and for all mankind, permanent peace.Otherwise, all religious speeches of all religions will be just words carried away by the wind.We want to crystallize what God has promised for Israel: the restoration of the Kingdom of God on Earth, which is the restoration of the Kingdom of David and the Throne of David. That is the only hope there is for Israel.Outside that hope there is another hope, but you do not want it: it is the disappearance of Israel, which many want; but we do not want it.Therefore, be attentive to Elijahs promise, so that you will know him when he comes speaking about permanent peace within the framework of the establishment of the Kingdom of David on Earth. That is the only hope there is for Israel.And we can say, as they sometimes say: “Take it or leave it.” Either the Kingdom of God is established on Earth, the Kingdom of David; or the Babylonian kingdom will take over the earthly kingdom and finish off all the Jews.And the religion that will be established in that kingdom will be the Babylonian religion of the golden calf; that was the conflict there in Israel with the golden calf.The religion of idolatry will rule the whole world, it will destroy the Jews and the religion of God, of the only God, if you do not wake up in time.[Rabbi translator: You are saying something terrible, which is very difficult for me to say. It really cost me…]I do not have much time left on Earth.[Rabbi translator: No, do not say that. 120 years in good health.]I am already 76 years old, and I have no time to waste on either the gentiles or the Jews.I have been sent from the presence of God to give this news, this good news for Israel. And the sooner I give it all, the sooner I can go to my heavenly Fathers House.Study whether all this that I have been speaking about is promised in the Scripture for Israel. And if it is promised, it has already begun to be fulfilled.And the Feast of Trumpets may already have begun to crystallize, or it is very close to crystallizing. The Feast of Trumpets is that which contains the day burning like an oven; it is that which contains the divine judgment that will fall upon mankind; it is where it will be known who will live and who will die. And we all want to live. I desire life for you, and I desire it for me too.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now see how he speaks to them there and tells them that he came to give that good news, just as the Archangel Gabriel came to Zechariah the priest and also to the virgin Mary. Because Gabriel, brother Branham says that he announced the First Coming of Christ and will announce the Second Coming. That is in the book of Quotations… on page 33, paragraph 282:1 282 - “[18] And standing there was a Angel, the mighty Gabriel. Hes a messengers to the Jews. Remember, Gabriel announced the first coming of Christ; the Angel Gabriel will announce the second coming of Christ. The Bible said so.”[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «Gabriel = announces the 2nd Coming of Christ».2[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now notice that announcement that He gave there to the virgin Mary, where he says in chapter 1, verse 32:32 _He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:_ 33 _And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end._ [JBP] See all that He told her there, that it would be the Coming of the Messiah; and that would be fulfilled in His Second Coming. In other words, He was speaking to her there of [what He would do] in His Second Coming, but He hadnt revealed to her that He would come again. In other words, already in His Second Coming it is to establish that which He told her: to establish the Kingdom of the Messiah in Israel, to rule all mankind from there.THE ANGEL WITH THE GOLDEN CENSER (Ministers Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, October 3, 2009 Goiânia, Goiás, BrazilThe Angel Gabriel announced the coming of the forerunner of the First Coming of the Messiah, and also announced the First Coming of the Messiah to the virgin Mary ([JBP] in other words, He announced to her that the forerunner would come and He also announced that the one forerun would come) and also to the shepherds who were in Bethlehem of Judea on the night of the birth of the Messiah, of Jesus.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Look in the book of Quotations, page 17, which is where it says in paragraph 128:3 128 - “126 Could you imagine, before there even was an earth, before there was a light, before there was a star, before there was anything? Theres a great Fountain going forth, of Spirit, and out of this Fountain came the most pure of love, cause there was nothing for it to come from that but love. Now, we, what we call love, today, is a perverted love. But just as we get an essence, or a little bit of that love in us, it changes our whole opinion.”[JBP] And there he draws a Pyramid; and he writes: [WSS] «love». 128 - “127 Then out of there come another stream, off this main Fountain, the Diamond, and it was called righteousness, absolutely righteousness ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «diamond». [...]128 Now, when these great Lights went out, or great rays of Spirit: love, peace, thats all there was, That. There wasnt no suffering. There wasnt no—no hate, nor no malice; it couldnt come from this Fountain. That was Jehovah. That was Jehovah God. And now, as the theologians call it, a theophany went from That ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «the Logos», which was called, in the Scriptural, the Logos, the Logos that went out of God. Its hard to explain, but It was a part of God.”[JBP] And there at the bottom he writes:[WSS] «The Theophany = The Word — The Logos = the Word». 128 - “129 Now, here is what happened. Oh! Excuse me. I just get on this, this just gets me right where I love it. See? The Logos, and this great Fountain, this great Fountain of Spirit which had no beginning or no end; this great Spirit began to form, in the creation, and the Logos that went out from It was the Son of God. It was the only visible form that the Spirit had. And It was a theophany, which means a body, and the body was like a man.130 Moses saw It when It passed through the… by—by the rock. And he looked at It, said, It looked like the hind part ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «back» of a man. Its the same type of body that we receive when we die here. If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting.’”[JBP] And he draws a Star of David next to it.[JBP] And above he writes:[WSS] «Moses saw the theophany of Jesus».[WSS] The theophanic body = the Word, the Word.The Word = the Son of God».He writes that above.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now, he goes on to say [“THE ANGEL WITH THE GOLDEN CENSER”]:[WSS] And He had also announced to Joseph about the virgin Marys pregnancy, and told him that that was the Son of God, the one who would be born through the virgin would be Emmanuel (which translated is: God with us), and that He would save His people from their sins. That was said by the Angel who appeared to Joseph, the husband of the virgin Mary; that is in chapter 1, verses 18 to 25.And now, the Angel Gabriel, the heavenly messenger who is before the presence of God…[JBP] See how there he is identifying where that messenger is from; and then, to leave, he identifies himself as the one who is in the presence of God.[WSS] …and who brings the divine revelations contained in the Book of Truth; who is Gods messenger through whom God sends to Earth messages to human beings as He sent to the prophet Daniel and as He also sent to the priest Zechariah and to the virgin Mary, and to Joseph the husband of the virgin Mary and to many more throughout biblical history…; although in many passages in which he appeared, he doesnt make his name known.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look here in the message “WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD,”4 lets read from page 1, because there he begins to speak something important. He says, look:1 I guess, a kind of a long-winded preacher. And without education, I—I guess I dont sound much like a preacher to some people. And I—I dont even claim to be a preacher, I just kind of a spare tire. But I feel that I have a Message from God, that in my way (that the only way I have to present It), Im trying to present It to the world. And if I didnt stay with that Message, Id be a traitor to God and a hypocrite to you. A person that will say one thing and believe another, its hypocrisy. We must always speak the truth from our heart. That when people look upon us, even though they disagree with us, we want to be honorable man and women ([JBP] he writes there): [WSS] «the hypocrisy»: that we speak from our heart, that which is true in our hearts.2 Last year, or year before last, I had the privilege of speaking a—a Christian… or pardon me, a Christmas message, here at the Ramada. And I believe I spoke on the subject, either here or Phoenix, on: Why Little Bethlehem? And I believe then it was here, last year, I spoke on: We Have Seen His Star In The East And Have Come To Worship Him.3 And, you know, we read the Bible, and we wonder, those “Whys?” And tonight I thought, if you would bear with me a while, and pray with me, I would try to give you my Christmas message. God only knows where well be next Christmas, if there is a next Christmas after this.[JBP] Now, remember, this was December 21, 1964. And, look, he goes on to say:[3] So being that this might be the last Christmas we set together, until we set at another table. ([JBP] See, there he is already prophesying that what he had left was one year; because the next year, in December, he no longer spent Christmas with them; because he departed). And It will not be one of this type, but itll be when we eat and drink the communion anew with Him, in the Fathers Kingdom at the end of the road ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the Supper in the Fathers Kingdom». And then, let us approach it tonight as if this was the last Christmas message wed ever set together in, in the deepness of sincerity.[JBP] That is why we take advantage of every second of our life while we are in these bodies, because we dont know if someone is still missing to be completed there in the sixth dimension, and he has to leave; and if it is one of our relatives or if it is a friend or if it is a brother believer in the Lord, and we cant see him…; and we have him, and we dont take the opportunity to stretch our hand and say: “God bless you”; maybe next time we will not see him again. That is why he speaks there as if it was the last Christmas, and in reality it was the last Christmas.[3] And then, let us approach it tonight as if this was the last Christmas message wed ever set together in, in the deepness of sincerity.4 I want to speak tonight on a unusual subject, but sometimes you find God in the unusual thing. He does things in a unusual way. Not the usual way, its the unusual way, unusual times, unusual scenes, Hes unusual. And I want this… Lord willing, I want to speak on the subject of: Why It Had To Be Shepherd.5 And now just before we approach the Word, which I believe that is God, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us.”[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «The incarnate Word». [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And on page 3 of this same message here, a little further on (which is where we want to get to), look, in the prayer before starting the preaching there, he says [“WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD”] [P. 2]:[11] And the Holy Spirit takes Your Words and reveals Them to us, for Jesus said, “When He the Spirit of Truth is come, He will remind you of these things that I have said and also show you things to come.”[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «Rev. 1:1, 22:6, 22:16». [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And that is where it says: Revelation 22:1616 _I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches._ And Revelation 22:6:6 _…and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel…_ [JBP] That is the Angel there, him placing those Scriptures, identifying Him.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now, in this same message, there is a place here where it says, on page 40, it says [P. 32]:189 And, you know, his mother, when she had been conceived, after the Angel of the Lord met his father Zacharias, and went home to Elisabeth, and she was already six months in… to be mother. But she had had no life yet, she was scared cause the baby hadnt moved. Thats subnormal.190 And the Holy Ghost, the Angel of the Lord…[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «The H.S.», that is, the Holy Spirit.[JBP] And he also writes: [WSS] «The Angel of the Lord - Gabriel». [190] …the Angel of the Lord appeared to Mary, and told her that she was “going to have a baby, knowing no man,” and told her about Elisabeths condition.191 She went up the hills of Judaea, to tell Elisabeth ([JBP] and he also writes): [WSS] «Angel» ([JBP] there). And when she met Elisabeth, she told her that she “was going to be a mother.” And she couldnt understand it, “knowing no man.” But she said, “The Holy Spirit overshadowed me, and said that this Holy thing ([JBP] and brother William writes): [WSS] «this Being» thatll be borned of me will be called the Son of God, and Ill call His Name Jesus.’” And the first time that the name Jesus was ever spoke in a human lip, a little dead baby, in its mothers womb ([JBP] that is, that was John), leaped for joy and shouted; and jumped in the womb of a mother, and it never had received life yet.[JBP] Now, “the dead shall hear the Voice of the Son of God and shall arise”5; and it is by the Word being spoken that this resurrection event will occur.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Look in John, chapter 6, verse 38:38 _For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me._ 39 _And this is the Fathers will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day._ 40 _And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day._ [Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in chapter 5, verse 25 and on, of the Gospel according to John:25 _Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live._ [JBP] And he in a writing placed: “They will hear the Voice of the Son of God,” and writes: [WSS] «in flesh».6[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the message “WE HAVE SEEN HIS STAR AND HAVE COME TO WORSHIP HIM”7… The one I have here is in English, and it is the one he has marked. I took it out in Spanish, I found it; so I am going to read it in Spanish, and then I read the writings he did here in English. This message was preached on December 16, 63. And in this one (which was the 21) which I read to you, he makes reference to this message; in other words, you have to join those two messages and there you will have the complete picture. Look, he says:68 And then we notice she, too, after she had this visitation, she was so elated by the Angels message, that she took up into the hilly country of Judaea; from Nazareth, where she was a native, of the city of Nazareth, a very mean, little city.69 And when she got up there, her cousin Elisabeth was also (already six months) to be mother, who had been called barren.70 Her husband, Zacharias, was a priest at the temple. And one day while he was waving the offerings, which was the burning incense, rather, over the prayers of the people that was being said outside. Gabriel, the Angel of the Lord; now, He hadnt been seen, nor nothing been seen of anything Supernatural, for years and years, and hundreds of years. But here stood that Angel at the right-hand side of the altar, and told him that his wife would conceive and bear a child, and he was going to call his name “John.” And we all know the story.[JBP] He writes there in the one in English, in that part: [WSS] «Gabriel: The Angel of the Lord». And he writes these Scriptures: [WSS] «Rev. 1:1-3, 19:1-10, 22:6, 22:16».And in the Bible, look, in Revelation 19, he stopped on verse 10; from 1 to 16, [he only] placed 19:1-10, in that Scripture.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And there, in verse 10 of chapter 19, it says [Revelation]:10 _And I fell at his feet to worship him_ ([JBP] that is, at the feet of the Angel)_. And he said unto me_ ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «William»_._ [JBP] Look, he identified himself there. Like when he told me: [WSS] “Benjie, you have to identify yourself in the Scriptures, you have to look for yourself in the Scriptures.” And in this one, and in other places, he writes his name; that is, identifying himself. And there, look, he writes: [WSS] «William». 10 _And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy_ ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «H.S. - the Holy Spirit»_._ [JBP] Now, we have already seen there that identification of that Archangel; where also in chapter 22, verse 16, where he says [Revelation]: “I Jesus have sent my angel…,” there he also writes: [WSS] «William». And see how those Scriptures that he places there in that paragraph, where brother Branham is showing that Angel, the Angel of the Lord (which is the Angel Gabriel, who was showing Zechariah, in other words, He spoke to Zechariah and also to the virgin Mary), how he identifies that Angel there in those Scriptures.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] There is a place in the message “IT BECOMETH US TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS,”8 it says on page 25:92 And Christ was Gods testimony, because God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. Now He said:…Suffer this to be so, John. That is right.([JBP] That was when John didnt want to baptize Jesus).93 In other words, “John, you are a mighty man, you are a great, mighty prophet. And your revelation of Me is exactly the Truth. You know Who I am. You know, because your ministry didnt come from man. Your ministry came from God. You never learned it of man. You wasnt taught this in a seminary. But at, the age of nine years old, you went into the wilderness, because you were born an odd, peculiar child. And from your very birth, God begin to deal with you. And even before your birth, the prophet saw you ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Isaiah 40:3-15». And you are a light of this day.[JBP] And he draws the ages there, and in the seventh age, the arrow towards the seventh age. That is, because he is the forerunner of the seventh Hebrew age. [93]_ And in the wilderness… You know Who I am, because God, in the wilderness, told you there would be a sign following Me. And youve already bore witness of It, and you know it. And we know who each other are. We know each other. And then it is true that you need to be baptized of Me. But lets suffer that to be so, for, John, if we are the lights of this day, we must fulfill all righteousness. All Gods Word must be fulfilled by us, for this day…_ [JBP] And he draws a Star of David.And he writes: [WSS] «and today by Elijah, Moses and Jesus». [93] …for it is becoming to us; behooving, its becoming, its like us. For if we are the true witnesses of God today, John, we are the lights of this age. And if we are the lights of this age, there is so much Scripture thats got to be fulfilled during this age. And its up to us!” ([JBP] And there he draws a Star of David). Hallelujah! “Its up to us, to see that all Gods righteousness is fulfilled.”And what is His righteousness? His Word!94 In other word, “John, you know Who I am. I am the High Priest ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «High Priest». Thats true, John, and I have need to be baptized of thee. But weve got to fulfill all righteousness. And I have need to be baptized of thee now, to fulfil the Word of God, because all the Word has got to be fulfilled. And we are the lights of the day, and its up to us to fulfill all this. And I know that your righteousness and your desire is to fulfill the Word. It be coming to us. We are the lights.”[JBP] And there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and the seventh age.95 The light of every age ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the messenger» should do the same thing. We know what is to be fulfilled. You who are spiritual and know the Word of God, you see what God has promised. Now the Word will not come just easy, but It comes by observation, youve got to press your way in to do It. But, yet, it behooveth us, it is becoming to us to fulfill all Gods righteousness. We must do it.96 And now Jesus did recognize, in John, that John was a true prophet. The Word had spoke of John, and He knew that he was absolutely the prophet of the hour. And John knew that Jesus was the Messiah, of the hour ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Jesus: the Messiah». And then they both clearly had an understanding.97 Oh, if the Church of the living God could only get that into their heads this morning, and their hearts; that the Church would not be separated by denominational barriers, that differences in creeds and colors, and so forth; that we might come together in the Name of the Lord Jesus, not having anything to bear us away from the true Word of the living God; and walk straight down that line of Scripture, to fulfill all Gods righteousness of today!98 For, anyone knows that we are living in the evening Lights. The prophet said, “It shall be Light in the evening time.” And so we know that we are living in that hour, the hour of the evening Lights. So, Lord God, help us to realize that.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And on page 32, in paragraph 273, it says [Quotations]:9 273 - “[13] In the last days there would be a latter rain, and the former and latter rain would be together. Now, the first rain was in the east, the latter rain is in the west. And in the latter rain, both former and latter rain will be together.”[JBP] He writes:[WSS] «East — Israel». «The 1st Coming».«West — America». «The 2nd Coming».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say in the message, “THE ANGEL WITH THE GOLDEN CENSER,” says:[WSS] We find that this same Angel or Archangel Gabriel will announce the Second Coming of Christ.He is the Angel with the divine revelation to communicate it to the prophets of God at different times. He is the Angel who will be with the divine revelation for the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, to thus be given to human beings.This Angel, knowing the content of the Book of Truth, knows what will be happening in this end time; therefore, we will have him in the end time in the midst of Christianity and then also in the midst of Judaism. So, the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom will be well advised.Now, remember that this Angel is before the presence of God; therefore, this Archangel Gabriel is one of the Two Olive Trees before the presence of God.On Earth the Two Olive Trees were, in the time of Zechariah: the high priest Joshua, and the prince and governor Zerubbabel. At the Last Day the Two Olive Trees will be the ministries of Moses and Elijah being repeated at the Last Day through the messenger of the Dispensation of the Kingdom. As simple as that.(...) For the Last Day, the mystery of the Second Coming of the Lord is the greatest mystery of the prophecy, of biblical prophecy, and the Angel Gabriel or Archangel Gabriel will have the knowledge of that mystery; mystery that the Mighty Angel descending from Heaven will bring to Earth.That is why when the Seventh Seal is opened in Heaven, which is the Second Coming of Christ, the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to His people, then an Angel appears there with the censer in His hand: He is given much incense to add to the prayers of the saints; the saints believers in Christ, who had died praying for the resurrection, the return to Earth, the return to physical life which will be in glorified bodies; and the transformation of the living in Christ who have been praying for their transformation.This Angel with the censer is a member of the Priestly Order of Melchisedec in Heaven, in the heavenly Temple. All this is represented in the tabernacle built by Moses and the temple built by Solomon, where we find that God told Moses to build the tabernacle according to the pattern shown to him on the mount.And Solomon received the order from David telling him that the blueprints that he gave him were by the finger of God; that is, that David didnt make those blueprints on his own, it was by the finger of God that the blueprint of the temple that would be built in Jerusalem was made.(...) For the Church it will be the Second Coming of Christ, for Judaism it will be the Coming of the Messiah. Then they will understand ([JBP] that is, the Jews), later on, what was the first Coming of the Messiah, and what is the Second Coming of the Messiah; but for them, when they see it, that will be the coming of the Messiah. Messiah means Anointed One.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS,”10 on page 18, it says (halfway down the page):103 What is the true evidence? Jesus said, “That you believe that I am He.” And He is the Word.[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The evidence of having the Holy Spirit». 104 Why didnt they get It? Why didnt the Jews get It? ([JBP] that is, there in His First Coming). They were righteous men; they were good men; they were holy men, and there were all kinds of people; but, to whom is predestined to hear the Word!105 “And how do you know whether it is the Word? Each one says this.”106 Its the promise of the Bible being vindicated ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «fulfilled» of that age, there you are, then you come back to where the Holy Spirit is.[JBP] And there he draws the seven ages, he marks them, identifies them; and the Cornerstone. And the arrow from the bottom to the top of the Cornerstone. [106] Watch the sound of the Trumpet in a few minutes, what It declares. The Trumpet, the Gospel Trumpet, see who can hear It. Remember, those in the walled cities could not come out in the jubilee. No, sir. They were in the walls; they stayed there. It was over; they were slaves the rest of their life, and had to be marked.[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «the seal or mark of the beast will be today». [JBP] And he also writes, that [WMB] “they were in the walls,” and he writes next to it:[WSS] «denominations: Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes, Catholics, Pentecostals, etc.».[106] Now as we see all these patterns, notice.107 Now, these acts, Malachi 4, and all this, and Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever,” He remains forever the Word, the Word made manifest. Thats exactly what He declared the prophets. A prophet doesnt only mean “a seer or forth-teller;” it means “a revealer of the Word thats written.” In his own life, his own works, reveals and vindicates the Word of that day; like Noah building the ark; Moses down there; whatevermore; and any prophet: the promised Word for that hour.[JBP] And he draws a Star of David, and also the ages, where he says: [WMB] “the same yesterday, today, and forever,” and points the arrow towards the Cornerstone.[JBP] And he also writes: [WSS] «Prophet = revealer of the written Word in his own life, incarnated in him and being fulfilled». [Rev. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William goes on to say [“THE ANGEL WITH THE GOLDEN CENSER”]:[WSS] Therefore, it will be the Coming of the Anointed One, the anointed man that they are expecting at the Last Day; the coming of the anointed man with the Holy Spirit, the coming of the man in whom the Holy Spirit will come to the Hebrew people ([JBP] because the Holy Spirit will return in a man to the Hebrew people); but first he will appear to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE END-TIME EVANGELISM,”11 it tells us on page 15:61 Now, the sun rises in the east ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Israel» and sets in the west ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «America». It doesnt change, its the same sun. Now when the Holy Spirit came, Jesus, the Son of God, He come in the east, on the eastern people. Its been a day… as its traveled, as civilization has traveled with the sun, coming from the east to the west, and now were at the West Coast. We go any farther, were back east. So, well, everything denotes His Coming. Were at the end time. Everything shows that its all over.[JBP] And he draws a Star of David. And there he writes: [WSS] «the Sun of the East = the Coming of the Lord with Moses and Elijah». 62 Now, now the prophet said (And no prophecy can be, should be privately interpreted, as Jesus said; Its just exactly what It says.): “It shall be light in the evening.” Then the same Son that come upon the eastern people and showed His works and His blessings, it was prophesied that there would be a dismal day; neither day nor night, thats a gloomy day, that like hazy. And you cant see the sun, but the sun yet gives enough light. Something like it is out there now, maybe a little darker. And weve had enough to join church and put our name on the books, and so forth, but in the evening time that same great power of Christ would come upon His Church just like it did back there on the eastern. In the western it would be the same. So thats why I want to speak on evening-time evangelism.63 Each age has had its message and its messengers. All through the times, every age has packed its message with a messenger. God, in every dispensation, has sent forth someone anointed with the Holy Spirit, to bring forth His Message for that age, every time. ([JBP] And he draws a Star of David).64 Now, we could start back, to back it up just a little bit. Even from the beginning, God was the Messenger at the beginning, to tell Adam and Eve, “You shall eat this, but you shall not do this.” That was the Message. And when man stepped across the Message of the hour, it brought death and chaos to the whole human race. Now, thats how much the Message means. And remember that it wasnt just a complete blank denial of what God said, that Eve believed, it was taking what God said and whitewashing it over, or—or just misconstruing it a little bit, just adding a little bit to It, or taking a little bit away from It.[JBP] And he draws a Star of David.And he writes: [WSS] «covering up the Message = brought the fall». 65 Thats the reason that I believe that the Word is the Truth. If our creeds and our denominations doesnt come completely with the Word, then its wrong. And if God would not permit, and His Word was so important, to just misquote one word of It caused all, every death that ever happened, every suffering, every crying baby, every funeral procession, every grave on the hillside, every ambulance that ever screamed, every blood that was ever shed, all the old age and starvation and trouble that weve had, just because Gods Word was miscalculated ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «misinterpreted», caused all of this ([JBP] that is, what happened there in the fall), will He excuse it at the end time if we miscalculate It again?[JBP] And he draws a Star of David.66 So, you see, Christianity is an important thing. If its cost all this six thousand years of trouble, because of one Word being misused, now were not going back with one other Word misused ([JBP] and there he draws a Star of David too). Its got to be exactly with the Word, with nobodys interpretation, just what the Word says! So many man will get together and they say it means this, and theyll agree, and others will say this. But It says, “This is It!”67 If God is going to judge the world by the church, then which church is it? If Hes going to judge it by a nation, which nation is it? Hes going to judge the world by the Word, the Bible ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the Word incarnated in Moses and Elijah». For, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” That was Christ, was Gods Word made flesh, spoken through human being.[JBP] And why was there the moment when the human race deserved divine judgment? Because there was the Word made flesh. But if it happened at that time: Jesus would remain alone; that is, if He didnt do the Work for which He had come, which was the perfect Sacrifice there on Calvarys Cross; but it was the moment when the divine judgment would have to fall upon the human race, but it all fell upon Him.And now, at the end of time, He has given all judgment to His Son, that is, for the world to be judged by the Word made flesh again; which will be… there He wrote it: [WSS] «the Word incarnated in Moses and Elijah».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say in this same message that we are reading of brother William [“THE ANGEL WITH THE GOLDEN CENSER”]:[WSS] (...) In other words, something big happens in Heaven at that moment when the Seventh Seal is opened in Heaven; something big happens. And after that, the Coming of the Lord to Earth.But between that is chapter 9 of Revelation, where certain things happen; but we are going to leave that alone. There are things that happen in one chapter and are the continuation or the same thing that is in another chapter of the past; and we are going to leave that alone.It is like the Pentateuch,12 where you find in one of the books certain laws, and then in another book you find the repetition of the same thing that had been spoken, but you find more details.So it is in the book of Revelation. You will find, for example, in some chapters a number of things happening; and then, in another chapter further on, you will find the same thing being repeated from another perspective, from other angles that hadnt been focused or clarified in previous chapters.[JBP] That is, they are the Scriptures with multiple fulfillments, as we have read.13[WSS] So, we can see… for example in chapter 1 of Revelation, we find the Voice as of a trumpet speaking to John and He tells him: “I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last” (Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11); and it is a Great Voice of a Trumpet, but it is a person speaking, the Alpha and Omega, and that is Christ.And then in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 12, he finds one like unto the Son of Man clothed with a garment down to the feet, girded about the chest with a golden girdle; He is no longer Priest, He is King. That is for the Second Coming of the Lord (it is in chapter 1, verse 12 to 18), and He has the keys of hell and death, that is why He can produce the resurrection at the Last Day; and He will do it as King, as Lion of the tribe of Judah.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Notice something here, that he says something that happens… In chapter 9, see (before chapter 10, in chapter 9), I think these days we quoted it,14 because he writes there, where it says [Revelation]:1 _And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth_ ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «the pope»_: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit._ [JBP] There are a number of… but if we enter there that is another Study; but I wanted to read it to you there, since he quoted it there.[“THE ANGEL WITH THE GOLDEN CENSER”][WSS] And He has the keys of hell and death, that is why He can produce the resurrection at the Last Day, and He will do it as King, as Lion of the tribe of Judah.That is why we see Him with some characteristics that correspond to the Second Coming of the Lord, which are consistent with Revelation, chapter 19; the same character; but we will leave that alone for now.And you already know: that Angel with the golden censer may be the Messiah, Christ, the High Priest of the heavenly Temple; that just as the earthly high priest took the golden censer with burning coals from the altar of incense, the golden altar that was in front of the most holy place, at the entrance, and poured much incense in it and went to the most holy place, to appear before God, with the prayers of the people, and reached the God.It can also be the Angel Gabriel or Archangel Gabriel that we also find him appearing to the right or at the right hand of the golden altar of incense when he appears to the priest Zechariah, and he is the messenger of God.Or it could be there… There, these are the two Angels: the Angel of the Covenant (Christ), or Angel Gabriel, that we see them both in Heaven officiating. Gabriel is an important priest in Heaven, he belongs to the heavenly Priestly Order; and the Messiah is the High Priest of the heavenly Temple, Christ.Gabriel had to do with the Messiah at His First Coming, and he will have to do with the Messiah at His Second Coming.In the ministry of the Messiah, he had to do also, although his name is not mentioned, he had to do with Him also. As he has had to do with the kingdom of the gentiles and the changes that they have had, that the kingdom of the gentiles has had in its different stages, it will have to do in the end time with the ministry of the Last Day, with the ministry of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, the ministry of the seventh dispensational messenger, for the seventh dispensation; he will be well linked with that ministry and will be supporting it, because he has to do with the change that will take place from the kingdom of the gentiles to the Kingdom of the Messiah, to the Kingdom of God.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message:THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAMS CHILDREN Dr. William Soto Santiago Tuesday, November 28, 1978 São Paulo, BrazilWell, the fourth Elijah tells us here on page 256 [p. 303 in Eng.] of the book of The Seals:[196] But when our Lord appears on earth, Hell be riding on a snow-white horse. And Hell be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man (not in two nor in three, but in a man).”So, you can see what this promise means to the children of Abraham by faith.In the fulfillment of the Lords Visitation at His Second Coming, the children of God will see the Word of God incarnate in a man, and that will be the fulfillment of the Second Coming of the Lord. Many people are waiting for Jesus to return with the same body that He had at His First Coming.[JBP] It is like in a writing on a paper, that he wrote:[WSS] «Any person could think and say that Christ, He would come to them with the physical body; but He came in Holy Spirit».15[JBP] We have quoted that from memory; I think we read it these days as well.[WSS] The fourth Elijah told us: “If Jesus appeared… if He appears with the body that Hofmann painted, with wounds in His hands and His feet, and with blood on His hands and on His feet (the fourth Elijah says), I wouldnt receive Him.”Why? Because he is explaining it in that message… it was the message titled: “Spiritual Food in Due Season”... And the spiritual food in our time you already know what it is.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Look, on page 29, where brother Branham speaks this that brother William tells us here; on page 29 of the message “SPIRITUAL FOOD IN DUE SEASON,”16 it says:166 His Word said Hes already done that. But the thing of it is, is to make Himself known that Hes here.167 Now, if He appeared to us in a physical body, looked just exactly like Hofmanns Head of Christ at Thirty-three, and blood running out of His hand, and so forth, nail scars all over Him, I wouldnt accept it. No, no. No, no. When He comes, Hisself, “Every eye shall see Him, every tongue shall confess Him; and as the lightning cometh from the East unto the West, so shall it be.”[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Not as Hofmann painted. His Coming will be in another body». «Without scars». [167] See? We dont believe these cults and clans. We believe God is the Word.168 But He embodies Himself, taking your body and my body, and gives you gifts, gives me gifts, and through these gifts He makes Hisself known. Thats the secret Food. No matter how much He would make Hisself known by me, youve got to believe It, youve got to have a gift of faith, too, to believe It. You believe that?[JBP] And a little further down, also, he says [P. 25]:171 But, remember, Jesus said it would be different just at the time of His Coming ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «His Coming»[_Rev. Jose B. Perez_] In the book of “The Ages” lets see here where it says that they are waiting for their Messiah [P. 62]: That day is coming soon. The fig tree has put forth her buds. The Israelites are waiting for the Messiah. They are expecting Him and their expectations are about to be fulfilled. Israel will be reborn Spiritually, for her Light and her Life [WSS] «Moses and Elijah» are about to be revealed to her.[JBP] And if they are going to reveal themselves to her, it has to be in human flesh.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William continues to say there [“THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAMS CHILDREN”]:[WSS] Then, he is explaining that God is veiled in every time and in every age in different veils of flesh, because God is God en morphe. “God does not change,” says the Scripture, but He changes His veil of flesh in which He manifests Himself.He changed veils of flesh: He changed from Enoch to Methuselah, or to the different prophets that were there; He also changed to Noah, and from Noah He changed to other prophets; He changed on another occasion to Moses, and from Moses He changed to Joshua…[JBP] Those who were waiting there for Moses to pass them over to the promised land: there they stayed without crossing Jordan; that is, they stayed there, and died.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Lets go to 1097. This one, like all subjects, one pauses from studying, and comes and reads what he has, and goes back…; because its the infinite Word of God: there is nowhere to stop. Page 123, paragraph 1097, it says [Quotations]:17 1097 - “79 That is, He changed Himself, He poured Himself into, (Amen!), into another mask ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David)...”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And 1286 that was passed to me here. Page 144, paragraph 1286, says [Quotations]:18 1286 - “[68] He was, at the beginning, the Word ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Word» ([JBP] and at the top he writes): [WSS] «Melchisedec = Jesus Christ», an en morphe body. He came in and lived in that, in the Person of Melchisedec. Then, later, we never heard no more of Melchisedec, because He became Jesus Christ. Melchisedec was the Priest, but He became Jesus Christ. Now, you bypassed that. Because, in that form, He knowed all things, and you have never been able to know that yet.You come like Adam, like me, you became from the attribute [WSS] «soul» to the flesh, to be tempted. But when this life is finished here, If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting. Thats where we go; that is the Word.” [WSS] «Theophany».[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «the Word». 1286 - “[68] Then we can look back and see what we done. Now we dont understand it. We have never become the Word; weve just become the flesh-man, not the Word. [...][70] He become the Word, the theophany, that could appear, disappear. And then He become flesh and returned back again, resurrected that same body in a glorified condition. But you bypassed the theophany and become flesh-man, to be tempted by sin.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now see, that is why it is… That Study from yesterday we have to read again, because there are things there where things were said about what is the glorified body of Jesus and what is His Spirit. Because look, when we read on page 134 [p. 158 in Eng. (First Seal)] of the book of The Seals:[302] …Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One thats in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, well crown Him King of kings.[JBP] Therein lies the great mystery of the Seventh Seal.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now… Page 126, 1118? Yes, there is something here too. Look, it says [Quotations]:19 1118 - “[281] When the Word was in Moses, he was God in flesh. When It was in Jesus, It was God in flesh ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Moses = God in flesh». See? Only thing He done was change His mask, not His Word, not His nature. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He only changed His form. He changed from Noah to Moses; He changed from Moses to David; from David, Joseph; on down till He come into the fullness of the Godhead bodily. See?282 Its still the same God! [...][284] Joseph was the Word in his days, portraying Christ exactly. See, each one of them was the Word.285 And when Jesus came, He was the Word in Its fullness, because the whole plan of redemption laid in Him.”[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] « The whole Plan in a man. The Word in all His fullness». And the entire Redemption Plan was at His First Coming; and the entire Reclamation Plan will be at His Second Coming.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say [“THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAMS CHILDREN”]:[WSS] Then, he is explaining that God veils Himself in every time and in every age in different veils of flesh, because God is God en morphe: “God does not change,” says the Scripture, but He changes His veil of flesh where He manifests Himself.He changed veils of flesh: He changed from Enoch to Methuselah, or to the different prophets there; He also changed to Noah, and from Noah He changed to other prophets; He changed on another occasion to Moses, and from Moses He changed to Joshua; and thus God was changing veils of flesh.[JBP] That is where we left off.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the message “THE UNVEILING OF GOD,”20 on page 15, it says:78 That is, He changed Himself, He “poured Himself into,” ([JBP] and brother William writes): [WSS] «en morphe» (Amen!), into another mask, into another form. Not another person went out of Him, called the Holy Spirit, but It was He Himself. You get it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] He Himself poured Himself into the people. “Christ in you!” How beautiful, how wonderful, to think, God pouring Himself into the human being, into the believer. “Pour out!”[JBP] See that is what He is coming for: it is for His Church, for His Bride, and to give her that Rapturing Faith. What we read yesterday on 254 of The Seals: it is that group of elect with Moses and Elijah [(WSS) «Moses and Elijah and the elect»], who can take the Word of God and place it right. See:[78] It was a part of His drama, to do so.God, all the fullness, all the Godhead bodily was in this Person, Jesus Christ. He was God, and God alone. Not a third person or a second person, or a first person; but the Person, God veiled in human flesh.79 First Timothy 3:16, “Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; for G-o-d, Elohim,” capital G-o-d, in the Bible. Refer it back, anybody. It refers to, in the original, It said, “Elohim.” “In the beginning, Elohim.” See? “And, Elohim ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Elohim», without controversy great is the mystery of Elohim; for Elohim was made flesh, and we handled Him.” Elohim, veiled in human flesh! The great Jehovah that covered all space, time, and everywhere, was made man. We handled Him, Elohim. “In the beginning, Elohim. And Elohim was made flesh, dwelt among us.”80 What? This is His way, the parts of the drama. Thats the way Hes to act it out, His way of revealing Himself to us as some different person. We are mortal, and He knows that. And we only understand as mortals ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «we can only understand as mortals». We only know as mortals. We only know as our senses will let us know, and the rest of it we have to believe by faith. We have to say there is a God; whether we see Him, or not, we believe it, anyhow. See? Whether there is or not, we still believe it because God said so.81 Like Abraham, could not see that son, no signs, no pregnancy of—of Sarah, no even any menstruation periods or anything, but yet God said so. All hopes, even her—her womb was dead, and his life in him was gone, and the—the stream of his life had dried up, and her—her life had dried up within her.[JBP] Now, there is a very, very great teaching there, in the life of Abraham and Sarah, at that time of the visit of Elohim with His Archangels Gabriel and Michael; for they were rejuvenated because of the Word of promise that Elohim spoke there to Abraham; and around that Word they were rejuvenated.For when Abimelech saw Sarah he fell in love with her; that is, she was beautiful, elegant, surely the difference was noticeable among all those who were there in the kingdom. And Sarah most likely looked at herself and looked at Abraham: “But how is it possible?”; for she had laughed, she hadnt yet been rejuvenated: “My lord being old and so am I, shall I have delight to have a child?”21Now see that in adversity, when it seems that all is lost, God rejuvenates, and then He culminates that work that He promised He would carry out in the midst of the people.In Abraham and Sarah —which, Sarah represents the Church-Bride of this end time—, everything that happened in that time is what in an updated form is happening in this end time.And how was that promise fulfilled there? There was a transformation; and God fulfilled His promise. In other words, Abraham was (lets say) adopted there.He goes on to say [“THE UNVEILING OF GOD”]:[81] “And yet he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise, knowing that God was able to perform anything He said He would do.”[JBP] Remember that on Mount Transfiguration, Moses and Elijah were there. Whenever those ministries are there, it is a time of adoption.[81] Theres the way we got to believe that Word today.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William goes on to say [“THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAMS CHILDREN”]:[WSS] From Elijah He changed to Elisha. See? But it was God Himself all the time; what God changes is only His garment, just as we change our clothes.You have seen me on some other occasion, maybe in some movie, or in some portrait; and because you see me here with these clothes, and in some portrait or some movie you saw me with another one, you cant say that I am another one; I am the same. And so it happens with God.Throughout biblical history we have seen the same God and only God. We saw Him dressed in a suit, in a garment, that was called Moses; then we saw Him with a garment called Joshua; then with a garment called Elijah; then we saw Him with a garment called Elisha.So also throughout the ages we saw Him dressed in a garment called Saint Paul, and then each one of the messengers had that name, which was the name of the garment, of the clothing of God.[JBP] And so on through the ages: Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Wesley; with one garment, God clothed in the messenger of the seventh age named William Marrion Branham. And we continue: and He was in a garment named William Soto Santiago. And now He has to be in another garment to fulfill what He has promised for His Church.[WSS] But we know that in one of Gods garments there will be the Name of God; that tells us…Well, I believe that here God has given us something very beautiful, that we already know, but that has come about without planning it.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look in the message “WHY LITTLE BETHLEHEM,”22 on page 34 it says:146 These old cisterns, the World Council of Churches organizing now. Lets restore the fresh Word of God, not a denomination. Lets not take a creed, thats old stagnated cisterns that fell forty years ago, twenty years ago, thirty years ago, or either last year. I want Gods Word thats promised for today. Thats the drink He wants me to have, this Word today! Its a little Bethlehem, its rejected.[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and an arrow towards there. And he writes: [WSS] «the Word in flesh today [is] the Water of the well». [JBP] “He who believes in Me, rivers of living water will flow,” Jesus says on one occasion.23 “And he who drinks of this Water shall never thirst,” He also said there to the Samaritan woman.24147 Its, I know, its just like, you think, “Well, if my…” Yes, thats right, they thought He should be born in Jerusalem. They thought He should be born where their denomination heads was. But He turned by all that. He come to the name Bethlehem, for thats what He was. Hallelujah! Hes not coming for Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian or Pentecostals. Hes coming [WSS] «through» for the Bride ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «through», Jesus Christ. Thats who Hes coming for. It may seem strange to you, but believe It!148 See these types? They can come no other way but by the Word. Thats the only place He could be born, is by that Bethlehem. Thats why it had to be that little humble place. [JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone, and a star. Thats the way it has to be this morning, has to be the same way by the promised Word ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the incarnate Word». Yes, sir. The Philistine Council of Churches now organizing, garrisoned everywhere around our Bethlehem. Around this Christmas, theyre garrisoned around there, everywhere, its all decorated up with worldly tinsel. “Oh, well bring world peace.” Pope Luther, John, or whatever his name is, hell get together, and all the great bishops of the church, the United Council of Churches and the World Council all coming together. How can two walk together unless they be agreed? Amen!149 Theres only One you can walk with, thats Jesus Christ. How—how can you walk with Him? When you agree with Who He is, the Word! Dont you let that leave you.[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «God made flesh, the Word». [JBP] Do not let that escape from you.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say further on [“THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAMS CHILDREN”]:[WSS] So, we can see how God is changing His garments; and we find that this is Gods Plan. God has always been the same all the time, what God has only changed are His instruments.And someday we are going to change this body; this earthly body that has so many problems, well, one day we are going to change it for a superior garment.So, notice, God changes His garment, and one day we are going to change too.[JBP] How beautiful to know that!, just as God has changed His garment, we too will reach that garment of the eternal and glorified body, where everything will be perfect.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Page 7 of the message “TOKEN,”25 it tells us:85 Therefore, in the days of Wesley or… The days of Luther, it was thought, “to believe.” In the days of Wesley, “the chemistry of the Blood.” But this is the last day, where the—the Token is required. That makes, together, the whole unit for the Rapture ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the chemistry of the Blood».[JBP] And he also writes: [WSS] «the Life, the Sign». [85] You see it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.]86 Water, blood, and spirit come when a mother gives birth to the baby. The first thing breaks, a normal birth, is a water, the second thing is a blood, and the next thing is life.87 There come from the body of our Lord Jesus Christ: water, Blood, and Life. And the whole Church, the Bride, together, has been made up through justification, sanctification, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which is the Token.88 As Hebrews 11 says, “All these who wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, and was destitute, and all these things that they done, yet was not made perfect without us.”89 And the Church in this day, thats received the Token, of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, that the Blood has been shed and that the Holy Ghost is upon the Church; without us, then, they cannot raise. But theyre depending on us…[JBP] He writes: [WSS] «God in flesh». And he writes: [WSS] «the Resurrection». [JBP] Page 8, I continue… [P. 13]: [89] …for God promised He would have It, and somebody is going to be there. I dont know who its going to be, but somebody is going to receive It. The only one thing Im responsible, is to preach It ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «responsible for preaching». Its Gods business to look out for that predestinated seed. There is going to be there, though. Because, theyre going to be there, each one of them, one with the other; the water age, the Blood age, and now the Token age of the Holy Ghost.90 And, remember, Israel come through many things, but it was evening time when the token was required; not in the morning, not in the preparation, the fourteen days…[JBP] Now, remember that was in the afternoon for the deliverance. See that for deliverance it was required to have the blood applied.There is a place in the Bible…, because he says there: “...not in the morning, not in the preparation, the fourteen days…”And there is a place, where it speaks of… I think it was when they dedicated Solomons temple, that they had another extra day; because he writes there something about the 14 days, and then an extra day was added. And lets read it, since that is there spoken, and I remembered that there was this place here.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look at something interesting here. In chapter 8 of First Kings, lets go to verse 65; it says:65 _And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days._ ([JBP] And he writes): [WSS] «14 days». 66 _On the eighth day he sent the people away_ ([JBP] and he writes: [WSS] «the 15th day»[JBP] That is, 7 and 7 = 14; and the eighth day, but the eighth day of those other 7 days would be the 15th day.66 _...he sent the people away and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people._ [JBP] And now, he draws the ages and a Cornerstone; and next to them he draws the ages, but he doesnt draw the Cornerstone yet.And in chapter 9, there it shows us God appearing to Solomon for the second time.And he writes there: [WSS] «the Lord appeared to him two times». [Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now, lets continue here. It says [“TOKEN”]:91 So did Luther know it, so did Wesley know it, so did Finney, Knox, Calvin, know it. This is It! They knew there would come a time that the Pillar of Fire would return back to the Church. They knowed there would come a time that these things would happen, but they didnt live to see it ([JBP] they knew and knew that the Pillar of Fire would come to the Church), but they looked forward to it.92 Israel knew something was coming, but it was in the evening time when that lambs blood, the token, was placed on the door. Yet, the lamb was already put up.93 Its been the Lamb all the way through. It was the Lamb in Luthers time, it was the Lamb—Lamb in Wesleys time, but now is the Token time that each house must be covered by the Token. Each house of God must be covered by the Token. All thats inside of it must be covered by the Token. And the House of God is the Body of Jesus Christ, and by one Spirit were all baptized into this Token and become part of It, that, God said, “When I see this Token displayed, Ill pass over you.” What an hour that were now living! Oh!94 A blood identified, identified the believer, because the life had gone out, could not come back, so he had to have a—a chemistry. He had to have like a paint, a blood, a chemistry that showed that life went from it. 95 Now the very Spirit Itself is the Token. The Holy Spirit Itself is the Token, not the Blood. The Blood was shed at Calvary, that is true. But the Blood, as far as it is, went back into the elements from which it come, from the food that He lived on. But, you see, inside that Blood cell was a Life that started the Blood cell to moving. If it was…The chemistry had no Life in it, itself, and therefore it could not move. But when the Life come into the chemistry of the blood, It formed a cell. It formed Its Own cell, then cell after cell, then it become a Man. And that Man was God, Emmanuel, in flesh ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «God in flesh». But when that Life returned back, the chemistry went to it, but the Token is the Holy Ghost upon the Church, that they see Christ.96 It has to be, because a woman and her husband become one. They become one. And so does the Bride and Christ become One. The ministry of the Bride, and the ministry of Christ, is the same.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the book of The Ages, on page 189 of this version. Here at the bottom of 188 [p. 172 in Eng.]:The word of promise came to the virgin Mary. But that Word of promise was He, Himself, to be made manifest ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «God made flesh». God was made manifest. He, Himself, acted at that time and fulfilled His own Word of promise in the virgin. It was an angel that had brought her the message. But the angels message was the Word of God. Isaiah 9:6. He fulfilled at that time all that was written of Him because she accepted His Word to her.The members of the virgin bride will love Him, and they will have His potentials, for He is their head, and all power belongs to Him. They are subject to Him as the members of our bodies are subject to our heads.Notice the harmony of the Father and the Son. Jesus never did anything until it was first showed Him by the Father. John 5:19. This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His bride. He shows her His Word of life. She receives it. She never doubts it. Therefore, nothing can harm her, not even death [WSS] «Mary = the Bride» ([JBP] he writes). For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret of this. The Word is in the bride (as it was in Mary). The bride has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word ([JBP] Who knows what must be done with the Word? The Bride, the Church-Bride). She performs the command of the Word in His name for she has “thus saith the Lord.” Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass. Like a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full harvest, serving its purpose.Those in the bride do only His will. No one can make them do otherwise.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now turn to 368 [p. 434 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)] of The Seals. Look, it says:[352] Thats the reason the—the… Were in travail, Christ, to bring forth the Bride. Everything is travailing and groaning. See, there is something fixing to happen.353 And this Sixth Plague lets her go ([JBP] What is the Sixth Seal? Moses and Elijah). Brother, the earthquake bursts open, and the stars shake, volcanics will come forth, and the earth will renew itself. New lava will break forth from the center of the earth. And shell crumble, all around and around and around, when she spins out in yonder.354 And I tell you, one morning ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «in the morning»[JBP] See, it was in the afternoon where the departure was, in other words, it was the sign that had to be applied for the departure. And it is in the morning where we will go out; because brother Branham says that the rapture will be between 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning,26 that is, in the morning, in the fourth watch. I think tomorrow the subject is something about the watches. See how everything is intertwined. Now he says: [354] One morning ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «in the morning»[JBP] That is, it also represents one morning, a new dispensational day. 354 And I tell you, one morning when Jesus and His Bride comes back to the earth, there will be a paradise of God there. That, oh, my, them old warriors of the battle, walk down through there with their friends and loved ones. The anthems will fill the air, of an Angelic host. “Oh, it was well done, My good and faithful servant. Enter into the joys of the Lord, thats been prepared for you, like you should have had back there before Eve started the ball a rolling in sin.”[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now, it goes on to say here (I am in The Ages) [P. 172]:They have “thus saith the Lord” or they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them doing the works, fulfilling His own Word. He did not complete all His work while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and through the bride. She knows that, for it was not yet time for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But He will now fulfill through the bride that work which He left for this specific time.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William goes on to say here in the message “THE VISITATION OF GOD TO ABRAHAMS CHILDREN,” says:[WSS] Well, we can see that with the last garment we have, which is going to be the transfigured (the garment) body, that is what we will remain with forever ([JBP] that is, with the transformed body). Just as God will keep the last one He uses.With that garment we will see Him clothed as King; because He presents Himself, He reveals Himself to His chosen ones in the end time, when the battle of the age is over, when it has ended.Then all together we will find ourselves in the Age of the Cornerstone where God presents Himself there dressed as King, as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as the Morning Star, the Star of David. And all these symbols that are in the Scripture will be fulfilled in the last manifestation of God in the midst of His People.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message:THE AUTHORITY OF THE SON OF GOD (Ministers Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Friday, April 4, 2003 Bogota, ColombiaWhere is it that the great miracles take place? With Moses and Elijah. And where are the great miracles promised to be carried out? In a great Tent. In the fulfillment of the Tent Vision will be the fulfillment of these great miracles.Reverend William Branham only saw one day out of who knows how many days, of the manifestation of that Third Pull under the ministry of the Holy Spirit.When you can see that he saw a vision, and he saw a lot of people in a Tent, and he saw that there was preaching ([JBP] he saw that there was preaching) and the sick were prayed for, and things happened, that is not the first day! It is a ministry that the Holy Spirit carries out, and he is shown beforehand a picture of what happens there on one of the days of that activity.That is why he said he wanted to put up a tent for many weeks, a few weeks; because he knows that a ministry like that, which is the ministry where the Third Pull, that stage will be manifested for the world, for the lost, for the Church (that is, Christianity) and for the Bride (the elect); that is not a ministry to be manifested in one day, but it takes many days.And for a person to reach that level in that ministry, he must have started a long time before; because that ministry and that manifestation that he saw there corresponds to a ministry and a minister, a prophet already adopted.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now it will be in that last manifestation that God will be using (as it says there), in that last garment. He cant fulfill the Tent Vision in preaching, in altar call, in prayer for the sick, in a veil of flesh that is already gone; it has to be in a veil of flesh that is alive, that is in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.On page 471 of the book of The Seals, look at a small part here, when he is telling the Tent Vision; and what he wrote here in this book (I dont know if I had already read what he writes there)… He is telling about how he taught how to fish. Look, lets read from page 470 [p. 561 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)]; it says at the bottom:291 I was standing with a—a little babys shoe, when He told me. Said, “Now make your First Pull. And when you do, the fish will run after the lure.” Said, “Then watch your Second Pull,” said, “because Itll only be small fish.” He said, “Then the Third Pull will get it.”292 And all them ministers got around me, said, “Brother Branham, we know you can do it! Hallelujah! Brother Branham!” Thats where I always get tied up, with a bunch of preachers. See? I love people. They want you to explain everything, this, that.[JBP] And he also writes there: [WSS] «the problem is with the ministers». And also with some who think they are ministers and also know-it-alls, and think they know better; and that is where the problem comes from.[JBP] And on the back of that, of that page, he writes: [WSS] «the problem is with the ministers, they want explanation». [JBP] Now he says, he goes on to say:293 And I said, “Well, uh, uh, uh,” I said, “I dont know.” I said, “Ive understand fishing. Now,” I said, “now, first thing you do… Here is the way its done. You see all the fish around; you got to jerk the lure.”[JBP] Look, He is explaining there:[293] Well, thats exactly the tactics of fishing. So I said, “Jerk the lure. Now, you see, when I jerked the lure, the first time, now the fish takes out after it.”[JBP] He is explaining the exact way… (in the book of Quotations) there the Angel tells him that he explained the exact way, the Angel was telling him, just as he explained that First Pull and the Second Pull.[293] “Jerk the lure. Now, you see, when I jerked the lure, the first time, now the fish takes out after it.” But they were little ones. And thats just like they were catching.294 So then I—I said, “Then youll—youll set…” And I jerked it out, on the bank. And I had a fish, but it looked like a skin over the lure, it was just… he was so little.295 And then I was standing there, and Something said, “I told you not to do that!”296 I started crying. All the line was tangled around me, like this.[JBP] Remember that when that happened, many started to also imitate brother Branham. And instead of taking the group —the ministers—, and tell them: “Look, this is the one who taught us,” or “this is the man,” to put and place the congregation, the people, to look at the manifestation of God in brother Branham, they went and did and tried to do the same thing that brother Branham did; and people, then, turned to look at them and not to the manifestation of God that God had in that time, which was our brother Branham.That is, they became imitators, when that happened, in the First Pull and Second Pull. And which, also in the Third Pull, they are also there: while it is being developed, you see that there are imitators.Instead of placing the congregation focused and looking towards where it was spoken, and was told and prophesied, which is the place where the manifestation of God is (and there will come a time in the culminating part of those miracles and wonders, and everything that would be happening there: from preaching, calling and all; even from its beginning), instead of focusing them there, look, more or less you see how they are doing, for them to do the same.See how the same thing happens. And the only one who imitates is the enemy, the adversary, Satan. Because when there is a false one there must be something real.That is why of the Third Pull it will not be spoken how it is that those things in the little room will be happening.[The Seals]296 I started crying. All the line was tangled around me, like this. And I had…was standing there, crying, with my head down like that. I said, “God! Oh, I… Forgive me! I—Im a stupid person. Lord, dont… Forgive me.” And I—I had this line.297 And that, what I had in my hand, was a little babys shoe, about that long. And I had that string, was about as big around as my finger, about a half inch, like. And the eyelet in this shoe was just about the size of a…littler than a—a one-sixteenth, probably, of an inch, in the eyelet. And I was trying to lace this little shoe up, with this great big inch-cord. Huh!298 A Voice come, said, “You cant 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 ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «5th Elijah, 8th Age», above me ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «7th age», that Light that you see there on the picture.[JBP] And here he writes: [WSS] «the Light was speaking to someone, to a prophet». In other words, he was speaking to that manifestation that God had there in human flesh. [299] It whirled away from me, like that, and went over that tent. And said, “Ill meet you there.” And said, “This will be the Third Pull, and you wont tell It to nobody.”[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «the 3rd Pull = produced silence». And he writes: [WSS] «½ hour of silence». And he also writes:[WSS] «the Tent = the 3rd Pull».[WSS] «He was standing there».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now, that which he saw there (look) in the room, in a moment where he was speaking or was going to talk about the Sixth Seal, look… Page 376 [p. 443 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)] of The Seals:418 Something happened today, and I seen something come up. I—I just…I couldnt get my breath anymore ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «what the prophet saw» ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Elijah and Moses», see. There He was, standing there, that little Light standing right there. And here It was. I know its the Truth.419 I thought, “O God, I couldnt say that. I—I cant say that. I cant.” ([JBP] And there are things there that I am not going to say). I just walked out of the room, went out, walked up-and-down. Brother, I thought, “My! What can I do? Oh!” See? And I—I have to go fishing, or something, or I… Boy, youd… you… I cant tell you.[JBP] And he writes it in the form of a question: [WSS] «What could he not say?». [JBP] And that is what will be happening there.27Now see that he says it here, where he says that [WMB] “that Light was talking to someone else higher up,” and he writes: [WSS] «he was standing there». [Rev. Jose B. Perez] Lets continue here. Our brother William goes on to say in “THE AUTHORITY OF THE SON OF GOD”:[WSS] And now, we can see that the great miracles, says Reverend William Branham, are for whom? For Moses and Elijah. Not for Elijah in his fourth manifestation, but for Elijah in his fifth manifestation and Moses in his second manifestation. And there will be the authority, of whom? Of Jesus Christ our Savior, there He will be, and there will be the power of Jesus Christ, who said, “All power is given unto me in Heaven and on Earth.”28That is the same power that He mentions in Revelation, chapter 2, verse 26 to 27, when He says:“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end…”In other words, he will be in the end time, someone keeping the works of Christ.“...and keepeth my works unto the end…”Therefore, the works of Christ will be being manifested through that Overcomer“…to him will I give power over the nations.”See? And now, the authority that God gave to Christ, Christ now gives to the Overcomer. It is the authority of God; it is not an earthly authority, but a heavenly authority; the authority of God through Christ being given to the Overcomer.And it is an authority so great that it says:“...I give power over the nations:And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.”See? As Christ received it from the Father, He now transfers it to the Overcomer.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Look with what authority is that that Overcomer will be able to do through the Word, and what is it that he will have in order to have that power. Look, it says, page 364 [p. 430 in Eng. (Sixth Seal)] of The Seals, it says:314 Blackness, darkness! Egypt; blackness, darkness!315 God, delivering Jesus at the cross, just before He brought Him up from the resurrection. First, darkness; sun went down in the middle of the day, and stars wouldnt shine. Two days from then, He was going to raise Him up with a mighty triumph.316 After the sun, and moon, and stars, and everything, in Egypt, all these taken place, He delivered Israel to the promised land.317 Here it is, in the Tribulation period, and here stands them prophets to who has the control of the Word that God gives them. They can only speak as God gives them the Word.318 Now, theyre not gods. Theyre temporarily… Amateurly, they are, cause Jesus said they were. Said, “You call them gods, who the Word of God came.” But, look, thats the ones that God brings the Word to. And when he speaks It, it happens.[JBP] And he writes:[WSS] «Adopted ministries on Mount Zion.Moses and Elijah have the Title Deed».319 And here he is with a commission from God, to smite the earth, whatever he wants to (oh, my), stop the heavens. And he does ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David next to it). Whats the matter? He is fixing to take the hundred and forty-four thousand out, for redemption, out of the Book of Redemption.[JBP] Now, notice that this happens before the great tribulation begins; in other words, those ministries, when that happens, will already be adopted there. It says:[319] And thats under the Seal of Redemption, in the Sixth Seal. Thats it, my dear friend. Thats that Sixth Seal; been so mysteriously.[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «the 6th Seal = the Seal of Redemption». And he also writes: [WSS] «The 144,000 are in the Book of Redemption». [Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now, the 144,000… but lets read something here real quick. Look, there are two tribes that were not counted. Look at chapter 7, verse 4 onwards [Revelation], there it speaks of the tribes; and notice that the tribe of Dan doesnt appear there, it is not there.And we are going to see here in The Seals a place; because those two tribes were placed… Lets read it here for a moment. Page 463 says, to have there everything that he is speaking about… He is reading from First Kings 12:25-30, which was when the kingdom of David was divided in the time of the sons of Solomon, with the northern kingdom, composed of the ten tribes, called: of Jeroboam, the tribe of Ephraim; and the southern tribes by Rehoboam (the northern tribes by Jeroboam and the southern tribes by Rehoboam), composed of two tribes, which is Judah and Benjamin.Now look there… Because that was for that… to place those golden calves. We would have to read all that history; but to not go down that line, but I wanted to read something here. And then, all of that, we are going to have to make a topic for the tribes.Now look here what it says on page 463 [p. 551 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)], it says [The Seals]:214 See, Ephraim at Bethel, and Dan, and they set up idols. And these went out to worship this.215 And here we are, plumb down into the Millennium age ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the great tribulation», almost, and God still remembers that sin. Theyre not even counted in there. Hey! Glory! [Brother Branham claps his hands together once—Ed.] Just as sure as He remembers every good promise, He remembers every one evil, too. Just remember, when…216 Thats the reason I believe, friends, Ive always tried to stay with that Word, no matter how strange It seems.217 See, now, they wouldnt think about that there then. They didnt think about it then. They thought, “Well, they got by with it.” All right.218 But here they are over here in this Millennium age setting in, when their names and tribes is “blotted out” from it, because they served idolatry, that God cursed.219 Didnt He say He “hated” the Nicolaitanes and that Jezebel? Stay away from it. Didnt He say He would kill Jezebels daughters with the killing of “death,” which is Eternal separation from His Presence? Dont trust in it, at all. Get away from it. So, God remembers. Notice.220 But did you notice there, it was to be “blotted out”? Why? Under Heaven there was no immediate Sacrifice that could give him the Holy Spirit, to let him see these things. But he did it, anyhow, in his own selfish mind.221 But, Ezekiel, in his vision, in the Millennium, he sees them again in perfect order. Ezekiel, if you wanted to read it. Just put it down, and you can read it, to save time. Ezekiel 48:1 to 7, also read the 23 to 29. Ezekiel seen every tribe just exactly in order. All right.222 And, also, in Revelation 14, John seen them again in tribal order, thats right, every tribe to his place. What happened?223 You remember, He said, “Under the heavens, that his name would be blotted out of the tribal affair.” As long as he was under the heavens, there would be no more. And this hundred and forty-four thousand is down here in the tribal part, yet. Right. But, you see, they had been blinded. They had only the sacrifices of bulls and goats. See? Now notice, He blotted them out, “under the heaven.”224 But the Gentile, in the days of the Holy Spirit, against That; your name was taken completely off the Book of Life ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «the Book of Life», “and could never have forgiveness, in this world or the world to come.” That right? So there is where we stand.225 Israel, under goats, sheep, they—they did have a place. As long as they was on the earth here, their tribes was missing. They could never be included. Now, all…When He called them, over there, the hundred and forty-four thousand, they were missing. Thats right. Theyre not even numbered in there. And Joseph and Levi is put in the place of Dan and Ephraim. Now you can look at that. Right there it is, before you, see. And here is Gods promise, way back there, hundreds and hundreds of years before that. [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit several times—Ed.]226 Now, what happened? They were purged during the time of the awful Tribulation period.227 Now, if God is going to purge that—that virgin, that was a good woman, but she just failed to get oil in her lamp, and He is going to purge her through persecution in there. He puts them tribes right in there, for the same thing, and purges them during the time of the Tribulation period. Because, it is a—a purging. Its judgment.[JBP] And he writes, notice, of these two tribes he writes:[WSS] «They do not have a specific amount».[JBP] And look what these two tribes represent:[WSS] «The two tribes ([JBP] he writes) go through the tribulation; the foolish virgins are the type». [JBP] See what he goes on to say: [227] But, you see, they, after… And, look here, here comes up the hundred and forty-four thousand, after the purging of Israel. And here comes up also the sleeping virgin, comes up, purged, and has white robes on. See? How perfect! How beautiful that is!228 Just like Jacob, in the time of trouble, see.[JBP] And there we have already opened the mystery of those two tribes that have no quantity in number; and see what that represents: which are the foolish virgins. And we can also talk about all that in that other Study.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look, he goes on to say here where we stopped. [“THE AUTHORITY OF THE SON OF GOD”]:[WSS] See? And now, the authority that God gave to Christ, now Christ gives it to the Overcomer. It is the authority of God; it is not an earthly authority, but heavenly; the authority of God through Christ being given to the Overcomer.And it is an authority so great that it says:“...I give power over the nations:And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.”See? As Christ received it from the Father, He now transfers it to the Overcomer.“And I will give him the morning star.”And in Revelation 22, verse 16, Christ says:“I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”Therefore, the bright and Morning Star will be received by the Overcomer of the Last Day, and the bright and Morning Star will shine through the Overcomer. Christ will be shining through the Overcomer. Therefore, there will be the power of Christ and the authority of Christ under that ministry.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now, look, in a study where they placed an excerpt of the topic “THE GREAT WARRIOR, JOSHUA,”29 it says… Here it says on page 3 or 4 of this message, it says:10 Now, as Joshua, the leader first, in the wilderness where there was thousands times thousands of noblemen, yet Joshua seemed to realize that he was, positionally he was elected of God. And when he crossed and Moses died, then he was called of God. God called him out and give him a vision, and said, “Now, as I was with Moses, so will I be with you ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «as I was with Moses». And no man shall stand before you all the days of your life. Be not dismayed; neither be discouraged, for the Lord thy God is with thee wheresoever thou goest.11 And after the vision was over, then Joshua, being the warrior, elected of God, chosen of God… Now, when he meets this king, or this great Man standing at the wall near Jericho, he was positionally placed then; he was a warrior. And then he seen what the real visible thing was. Who do you think this Man was that was standing over against the wall? Now, Joshua knowing hed had visions, how the Lord had spoke to him, and he knowed that he was Gods servant, and he wasnt afraid. But when he went into the land, he crossed over, the manna ceased, and then the old corn, they begin to eat it.And one day while strolling along in the wilderness, coming from Jer—from Jordan up to Jericho, rocky, hilly, desert, wilderness like place, walking along there he seen a Man. And the Man stood and drew His sword, just a Man, looked like a man. And Joshua, perhaps being a chief warrior, drew his sword too, walked to meet Him, said, “Who are You? Are You for us, or are You our adversary?”The Man I could see lift His sword high, say, “No, Im the Captain of the host of the Lord—of the God of Israel.”The Captain of the host, Who was this Captain of the host? Joshua reached down and unloosened his shoes, fell on his face before Him, and said, “What would the Lord have me do?”12 You see, after he had been—he was getting his position then. He was to be the greatest military man thats ever been on the face of the earth ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Joshua: the greatest general». Theres never been a general like Joshua, no time, no age, nowhere has ever been compared with Joshua. The word “Joshua” comes from the word of “Jesus,” means “Jesus” or “Saviour ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «YHWH», deliverer.”And so when he seen this Man, what was it? It was the Captain, in other words, the Leader of the host of Israel. And that leader was none other than Christ Himself. And what was He first seen in? A Pillar of Fire. And now the Pillar of Fire had become a man. I hope you know what Im talking about. He had become a man.[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The Pillar of Fire became a Man». [JBP] And the Pillar of Fire is seen in a Great Tent Cathedral.THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE SEVENTH TRUMPET (Ministers Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, December 2, 2006 Cayey, Puerto RicoAnd now, the one who had the Seventh Seal is the Angel who lifted him up. He sees seven angels without counting himself; and there were the seven angel messengers of the seven ages, of which the Reverend William Branham was one of them; therefore, he sees seven without counting himself. In total there were eight angels there at the time when Reverend William Branham was there.And the one that was the seventh Angel, if we count all the angels that were there (which are eight), then that seventh Angel was the eighth Angel, counting brother Branham as the seventh angel of the seventh age, then there was another Angel that was different from the seven angels, from the seven angels of the seven ages of the Church, because it is the Angel that has the Seventh Seal and therefore, has the Seventh Trumpet, has the Seventh Trumpet, which are the ministries of the Two Anointed Ones, the ministries of Moses and Elijah; and has the Seventh Seal, which is the ministry of Christ operated by the Holy Spirit in that Angel of the Lord that is present there.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the book of The Seals, on page 469 [p. 558 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)] it says:275 And did you notice? “That one Angel,” I said, “in there, was a strange Angel.” He looked more to me than any of the rest of Them. You remember that? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] They were in a constellation; three on a side, and one on top. And the one right next to me here, counting from the left to the right, would have been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of Them. You remember? I said, “He had His chest out, like that, and was flying eastward” (you remember) “like that.” I said, “It picked me up; lifted me up.” You remember that? [“Amen.”]276 Here It is, the one with the Seventh Seal…[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Moses and Elijah have the 2nd Coming of Christ». And he also writes there: [WSS] «Moses lifted Elijah up». And above there he writes: [WSS] «the Angel that had the 7th Seal = the Angel of Jesus». [JBP] He goes on to say:[276] …the thing that Ive wondered all my life.[JBP] And he writes there a question… (I dont know if I already read it to you)30, but in this book he writes:[WSS] «Who is that Man in whom the 2nd Coming will be fulfilled?». [JBP] He writes it in question marks.[276] … the thing that Ive wondered all my life. Amen! Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you dont know what This [seventh] has meant ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the 2nd Coming of the Lord».[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say [“THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE SEVENTH TRUMPET”]:[WSS] And therefore, the opening of the Seventh Seal is linked to the Angel that was different from the others; because in the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal and the Seventh Trumpet, an Angel Messenger different from the others will be present, a dispensational Angel Messenger with the ministries of Jesus, of Moses and Elijah, operated by the Holy Spirit, operated by Christ, who will be in Holy Spirit in that Angel manifesting Himself in the Last Day.[JBP] And he writes (we had already read this quote that he wrote):31[WSS] «The Seventh (7) Seal is opened, and the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven in Him shall be opened, while the 7th Angel is on Earth, in the half hour of silence».[JBP] In other words, while the half hour of silence is there, that seventh angel that he saw there has to be on Earth.And the half hour of silence, remember that it begins (there in the book of The Seals, on page 80 [pages 96-97 in Eng.]) when this Angel appears there.See when that half hour of silence of the Seventh Seal begins: when the Dispensation of Grace ends, when the days of intercession end. And that was already more marked at the end of 2018, beginning of 2019, where that stage of redemption was closed; therefore, from then on, that has to be in fulfillment.[“THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE SEVENTH TRUMPET”][WSS] The same Holy Spirit that manifested Himself in the prophets of the Old Testament…: He manifested Himself in Elijah, in Elisha, in John the Baptist, in the Reverend William Branham and will manifest Himself again for the fifth time; and will operate the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, the ministry of Moses for the second time and the ministry of Jesus for the second time.But that Messenger will neither be the prophet Elijah literally speaking, nor will he be the prophet Moses literally speaking, nor will it be Jesus literally speaking…[JBP] Because they can think (that is why what we read a few minutes ago) that some were waiting for the glorified body of Jesus, and He sent them His Spirit; the Holy Spirit was the one that came to them.[WSS] …he will be a man of the Last Day, who will belong to the Mystical Body of Christ.The elect will know Him; the world will not understand, but the elect will understand, because the wise will understand.It will be a mystery that will be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because the others will not be granted to know this mystery, because this is the mystery that gives them the faith, the revelation, to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; and those who will need to know that mystery will be those who will be transformed.The others will try to criticize the entire fulfillment of that mystery; but the elect will understand, will believe and will be transformed on the Last Day.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message “TOKEN,”32 he speaks to us there on page 18, it says:167 You say, “I still believe. I am a believer.” Thats all right. But if you reject the Token, then how you going to be a believer? It speaks against you. See, it speaks against your testimony, that you do.168 Bible student, good person, church member, ever what you are, doesnt mean a thing. Yes, sir. Maybe your father is a preacher. Maybe your—your mother was a saint. May… Thats—thats okay, they have to answer for themselves. As I have said, try…169 People try to make God some big, old, fat, doty grandfather, see, and a bunch of grandkids, just like little Rickys and Elvises, and, “There is no harm in them.”[JBP] In other words, in this type of person: a good preacher, or a very saintly pastors wife.170 Not God! He has no grandchildren. He is a Father. Got to be born again! Hes not big soft doty.171 Hes a God of judgment. The Bible speaks He is. His wrath is fierce. Dont you trample on That and expect the goodness of God someday take you, in your sin, and take you to Heaven. If Hed have done that, Hed excuse all this here, and have took Eve. Youll believe His Word, or youll be… youll perish. And when you believe His Word, the Token will be upon you.[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «When you believe the Word, the Sign will be upon you». 172 Death was ready to strike Egypt that night, at any time. It was a fearful time; all their ceremonies, all their feast days, and fast days.173 God had visit them. God had showed His great signs and wonders in the midst of them. What is that? Now stop a minute. God had showed them His grace. He had give them a chance.174 They couldnt turn It down. They said, “Oh, there is nothing to that.[JBP] Remember in the book of The Seals, where he says: [WMB] “They were in services like this, they spurned the mercy of God for the last time.” So that you have it: 369 [p. 436 in Eng.] of The Seals at the bottom. And the mercy of God, he says there, that it will be in Elijah and Moses.174 They couldnt turn It down. They said, “Oh, there is nothing to that. Its nonsense. Its just something up in the cataracts, there was an eruption of—of red mud flew out, and thats what made the sea red.” Then the hail came. Then the frogs came. God had prepared a place, and put His Word in a prophets mouth. And what he spoke, it come to pass, and they seen it. They couldnt deny it.175 What Moses called for, thats what Moses got, from God, cause he only spoke the Word of God. He said, “Ill make you a god.” Moses was a god to them. See? They knowed no different, so He said, “Youll be a god, and Aaron will be your prophet. See, youll be like a god, for Ill take you, your voice, and Ill create with you. Ill speak, and the people cant deny it, cause right there it is. What you say, will happen.” Oh, my! “Ill show you those things.” My! And Egypt saw it. They saw it just before the evening time, or just at the evening time.[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The spoken Word». [Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say, of the message “THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE SEVENTH TRUMPET”:[WSS] That is the mystery that I need to know: The mystery of the Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal —which is the Coming of the Lord— to obtain the rapturing faith, the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.Because that is what the Coming of the Lord to His Church will be for: To take His Church with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, already transformed, with glorified, immortal, eternal bodies, equal to the glorified body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ; because “God will glorify the house of His Glory,”33 which in the New Testament is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.JESUS CHRIST AS KING OF KINGS Dr. William Soto Santiago Tuesday, November 28, 2000 São José dos Campos, São Paulo, BrazilNow, we can see that this mystery of the King of kings and Lord of lords of Revelation 19, is the greatest mystery of the Heavens and the Earth, it is the mystery for which there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour.When Christ completes His Work of Intercession in Heaven, He will have a veil of flesh, through whom He will manifest Himself in all His fullness; and then we will have Him as King of kings and Lord of lords ([JBP] there is the book of The Seals, page 134 [p. 158, para. 302 in Eng.]); and He will be carrying out a very important work for that occasion.The elect will know this mystery; otherwise they will not be able to be transformed and taken to Heaven, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.Now, we can see that Jesus Christ will be on Earth at the Last Day, when He finishes His Work of Intercession in Heaven; and it will be Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant…, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant manifested in human flesh on Earth in the midst of His Church, to give us great blessings from Heaven, no longer as Lamb nor as High Priest, but as King of kings and Lord of lords.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look in the book of “THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL,”34 on page 125 of this Spanish version, it says:175 The—the Message has gone forth to the latter church ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «last - Laodicea», church that rejected its Christ. The Jews are in their homeland for the spanning space of time, forty years. The new city has been built. Theyre watching for what? A coming Messiah ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah».[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Laodicea has rejected its Christ», [JBP] that is, its Anointed One.When will it be? I dont know. When that Stone [WSS] «Moses and Elijah» smites the image here, She is gone; its all over then.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say [“JESUS CHRIST AS KING OF KINGS”]:[WSS] And in that Reclaiming Work…[JBP] Notice, in that Reclaiming Work; that is the Work that God will be carrying out through His final manifestation, after He finishes the Work of Intercession.[WSS] And in that Reclaiming Work is that the dead in Christ will be resurrected in eternal bodies, and those of us who are alive will be transformed; it is a promise for all of us.First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 58, and First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 12 to 17, we find those promises given by God through Saint Paul, where he speaks of the Last Trumpet, and the transformation of those of us who are alive and the resurrection of the dead in Christ.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And there is one place where he tells us that on the Day of Pentecost there was like thunder, a thunder from heaven. It is in the message “WHAT IS THE HOLY GHOST?”35 page 27, it says (in one part here it says):103 Now turn right across the page, watch these prophecies come to pass.And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were in one… they were all with one accord in one place.([JBP] And there he makes a…).“And all of a sudden the pastor came in and…”? I got off the line there, didnt I? “All of a sudden the priest come on the altar”? No.And suddenly there came a sound…[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «today it will be the Thunders». [JBP] Where? In the Upper Room, which is the Age of the Cornerstone.[103] Not just a make-belief; It was there, a sound.“A minister was approaching the door”? “The priest had the communion, coming out of the holy place”? No, nothing like that.…there came a sound from heaven… (Not the rustling of a feet)…there came a sound from heaven as…a rushing mighty wind (Oh, my! Whew!…?…)…and it filled all the house where they were setting.104 What is the Holy Ghost? Here is where they get Power. Here is where theyre supposed to wait; here is what happened when they did it. All prophesied, from Genesis right on up, from Abraham right on through; It would come, and how It would come, and the results would come. What is It? Promised to the Church, to believers.…and filled all the house where they were sitting.And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like… of fire, and it sat upon each of them.[JBP] And here is where I rejoiced very much, when I read what he wrote. Look at what happened there on the Day of Pentecost: cloven tongues like fire. And look at what he writes!:[WMB] ...and it sat upon each of them.[WSS] «today it will be the theophanic body today».[JBP] That is, your theophanic body that will rest upon that perishable body and transform it! That is the promise for us, for this time. And that happened there in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost; and this will happen in the Upper Room of the Age of the Cornerstone, of the Dispensation of the Kingdom.The Dispensation of Grace produced in us the promise of the theophanic body created by God in the sixth dimension; and the Dispensation of the Kingdom will produce in us the eternal and glorified body. [104] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and begin to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.[JBP] And there is what is fulfilled of that group: that it will place the Word right, they will be able to place the Word well; but it will be through divine guidance, all that will be done in those 30 to 40 days.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And he continues here. Already to finish, it says [“JESUS CHRIST AS KING OF KINGS”]:[WSS] All that Christ will be doing in the midst of His Church through His manifestation in human flesh, to then bring the rapture, to perform the rapture or catching away of the elect, and to be taken to the House of our heavenly Father, to the seventh dimension, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. All this will be done by Christ our Savior, the King of kings and Lord of lords.[JBP] And I believe that it has not been spoken more clearly. I believe it has been spoken quite clearly. And as he said there: “The wise will understand”: Those who will be transformed will believe it with all their heart; and if there is something that they dont understand on the way, God will let them know, they will understand, so that they may obtain that perfect Faith completely: the Rapturing Faith.May God help us to fully know the mystery of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of the Second Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.May God bless you, may God keep you. And thank you very much for your attention. I think we are past one hour, right? What time is it? 11:30 already. I think we passed two hours.But when one enters into the mysteries of God and when one enters into His presence, there is no limit there; because it is the Word that you and I need so that soon we will have that perfect Faith; which is why this place was made.Because a Great Tent Cathedral was made to fulfill the greatest purpose that God had in store; the greatest promise that He had reserved since before the foundation of the world: that in The Great Tent Cathedral He was going to prepare sons and daughters of God in His image and likeness.So look if this place is not important. Of course it is! Because it is the place where He is fulfilling His promise: that there —here!— is where He would be imparting the Rapturing Faith, the faith to be transformed.May God bless you, may God keep you.And the topic for this occasion: “THE INCARNATE WORD,” in you and in me.May God bless you and may God keep you all.With us again our brother William Perez, Reverend William Perez, my faithful co-pastor, here with us.* * *
