THE MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, April 12, 1998 Cayey, Puerto Rico
*Rev. Jose B. Perez*— “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.”In other words, he identified Him as the Lord, the God Creator of the Heavens and Earth.And see how here, that parable of Matthew, chapter 25, when they come knocking at the door because they have no oil in their lamps, and the wise: “Lest we lack it, you had better go and find it yourselves.” And the bridegroom came and took them away. And when they returned, the door was already shut. And they began to knock. See, they recognized who the Lord was.[(GMM) “THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH POSSESSING THE KINGDOM OF GOD: THE FIFTH EMPIRE”][WSS] “Lord, Lord, open! Lord, you have taught us in our streets!” And He will say to them, “I do not know where you are from, I do not know you.”So the Door of the Dispensation of Grace is going to be closed ([JBP] and it is already closed), but the Door of the Dispensation of the Kingdom is opened.[JBP] In other words, someone had to receive those keys to close one dispensation and open another dispensation.[WSS] Christ in Revelation, chapter 3, verse 7, says that He has the key of David, that He is the one who opens and no one closes, and closes and no one opens.Therefore, that key of David, Christ —who is in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church— is going to use it in His final manifestation through the last messenger that He will have in the Church; and He will open the Door of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, He will open the Door for the restoration of the Kingdom of David, because He has the key of David.He also has the keys of Hades…[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in one writing he tells us there something very important as to why it could not happen that every child of God would receive the eternal and glorified body in the Dispensation of Grace. Look, he says… he writes:[WSS] «In the Age (7th Dispensation) of the Kingdom the spiritual and material blessings will be united (and we will have the theophanic spiritual body ([JBP] those are the spiritual blessings) and the glorified material body [material blessing]), and all the material inheritance. That is why the glorified physical body could not come in the 6th Dispensation of Grace, which has the spiritual blessings».[JBP] In other words, one could not receive that material blessing of the glorified body in the Dispensation of Grace.Those who are waiting in that past stage for the physical blessing of the eternal, glorified body: they will not receive it there; it has to be in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, in the Cornerstone: where the grain, where the wheat ripens, where the Sun beats down on it.[(GMM) “THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH POSSESSING THE KINGDOM OF GOD: THE FIFTH EMPIRE”][WSS] He also has the keys to Hades and death (that is somewhere around chapter 1, verse 18 of Revelation); that is why He will be able to bring about the resurrection of the dead in Christ.[JBP] And we read there in John, chapter 5, that it is the Holy Spirit speaking in flesh, so that the dead in Christ may come.[WSS] For each Door there is a key.Therefore, this is a very important time, where we know that many things have to be opened; and therefore, the Lord has the keys, and He is going to use them in His final manifestation through the last instrument that He will have on Earth.For example, the Seventh Seal. That mystery is going to be opened; there is a key.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the book of Quotations14, on page 151, paragraph 1347, it says: 1347 - “[187] So say I, in the Name of Jesus Christ: Don’t you add one thing, don’t take, put your own ideas in It, you just say what is said on those tapes, you just do exactly what the Lord God has commanded to do; don’t add to It! (...)[188] Don’t take from It. Just believe It and walk humble before the Lord your God, for we’re nearing the going into the Land. (...)189 Don’t take some new thing. They’re flying everywhere, and there’ll be more than that come. But don’t take these new things.The Lord your God has declared to you what is Truth.190 Don’t never start or try an organization. Don’t try to build upon anything else.But stay humble before the Lord your God, for it looks like the gates may open into the promised Land soon ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «there is a key for each Door – 2nd Coming of Christ». Then let us go in with the true singing and rejoicing, when the Bride and Groom takes its place at the Throne.”[WSS] «Come up hither: The Eternal Age»[JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone.And here the Cornerstone, with an arrow towards the Cornerstone; and the ages.And below here he writes: [WSS] «The promised land and the Door». And he also draws there a Cornerstone, and a door like this in the little Stone; and he writes: [WSS] «The doors to the promised land».15[JBP] We are going to go… we are going to stop there for today. Later we can go on to talk about the key of David and who has the key of David; and we will leave that subject for another time.And now we have: “THE MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,” which was preached on April 12, 1998.[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look… Let’s look at one more portion there, where it says that [WMB] “we come back with two portions.” We read it a little while ago.16 Page 69, paragraph 597, it says [Quotations]17: 597 - “61 And as Elijah went down to Jordan one day, and struck it, with Elisha, and it parted back, and he crossed over. He come back [WSS] «2nd Elijah = Elisha» with a double portion.62 And when we strike Jordan, with Christ…”[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Elisha – Moses and Elijah, the Holy Spirit». “When we shall strike the Jordan with Christ,” with the Anointed One, with Moses and Elijah. 597 - “[62] …we got one portion, but when we return, we’re coming with two portions. We got Eternal Life, resurrection from sin, now, in righteousness with the Holy Ghost. And then on the return, with Christ, we come back with both physical resurrection, and we already got spiritual resurrection. We have a double portion of it.”[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Double portion. The spiritual resurrection. The physical resurrection, on the return with Christ». [JBP] And we are going to smite Jordan!, that is, the great tribulation; because we are not going to go through Jordan, we are going to cross over on dry land; we are not going to go through the great tribulation.That is why he said: [WMB] “When the persecution comes, don’t get scared. There is a Light, said He would catch His people away. She’ll not go through the tribulation.”18In other words, that is why it is very important to follow that Light, which is the Pillar of Fire. While it was detained, they did not move in the wilderness; while She moved, they picked up everything and moved.The Pillar of Fire is standing still in the Age of the Cornerstone and Dispensation of the Kingdom; but from one moment to another, when the time of resurrection and transformation comes, that Light will be gone; and it will be like Jesus: making way towards the presence of God, to the seventh dimension.That is why you cannot lose sight of the Light, the Pillar of Fire which is among His people today; for one of these days that Light will take us and rapture us, and take us to the House of our heavenly Father, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.Continue looking at the Light, the Pillar of Fire, which is in the midst of His Church.Let us stand up, and so we leave the subject that we have for today: “THE MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.”Well, we thus leave immediately with us, our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.* * *
