*Dr. Jose B. Perez*HEEDING THE VOICE OF CHRIST AND LABORING IN HIS WORK Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, April 5, 2014 Austin, Texas, United States
Scripture: Revelation 1:8-18
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*Revelation 4:1
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*AN APPROVED WORKMAN (Ministers’ Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, March 1, 2014 Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico
Therefore, patience is to prepare us to obtain what He has promised, to keep believing what God has promised until it is materialized. Whoever loses his patience ends up losing, because he loses the blessing.
Remember Moses? He lost his patience with the people and he lost his affection or love for the people, and he smote the rock1, which represented Christ, where the Angel was upon the rock; although the people could not see Him, but the Angel of the Covenant was there, which is Christ in His heavenly body. And the rock, therefore, represented Christ; and smiting it represented smiting Christ in His Second Coming.
The first rock, the one on Mount Horeb, represented the First Coming of Christ and He had to be smitten on the Cross; and when Moses smote the rock so that water would come forth for the people, that was good, because that was the way God told him to do it; he wasn’t so impatient then2. But after forty years with a people who were always complaining to him, and sometimes trying to stone him… Moses was very sad with the people, even though he was happy with God. And sometimes Moses also complained to God, telling Him: “Have I begotten this people?”3 But such is the life of a messenger of an age; and if it’s for a dispensation, even greater.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*148 Now the natural veil. God, the Word, veiled in human flesh. What was it? God was veiled in Moses. God was in Moses ([JBP] below there he writes): [WSS] «God veiled in Moses», veiled, and the Presence of God was in him. He was so perfect with that Word in him like that, till he had to veil his face. And it was a vindicated prophet that unfolded the Word and told them, “Thou shalt not! Thou shall! And thou shall not!” See?
JBP149 To give His Word to that generation, He veiled Himself in a human being, or the Word would have blinded even the called-out. See? Even the people that was out there, they could not stand to see that. In—in Exodus we find that, they said, “Let Moses speak, not God.” See why the Pillar of Fire don’t appear too much? See?
JBPIn other words, in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, it is already clear who is the one that is working and who is the one that is speaking to the people through that instrument; because if he saw the Pillar of Fire there, then automatically, when that was being fulfilled, well, the Pillar of Fire would be there. And that is what is already a reality in the midst of the Church-Bride.
He continues saying:
150 God said, “I—I—I’ll do that. I’ll raise them up a Prophet.” Amen! “I’ll raise them up one.” And He came just exactly. “I’ll raise, and He’ll have, be the Word.”
151 He said, “If they want to see what the Word is…” Said, “Now, Moses, I appeared to you yonder, the burning bush.” Said, “I’m going to come down and set that mountain afire.” Said, “They’ll see that you’ve told the truth. I’ll appear here in the—in the—the same burning way. I’ll appear here and prove to the people, I’ll vindicate your ministry.” That’s what He told Moses here, so many words.
152 Notice, He said, “Now I’m going to—I’m going to glorify you before the people.” Said, “Now, you told them that I met you out there in a burning bush; now I’m going to come down, same Fire, and I’m going to let the people see that you never lied about It.” ([JBP] that is, to vindicate Moses, in other words, what Moses had spoken of, what had happened). You can scientifically prove It, even, if you want to. See? “I’m going to come right down and let them know.”
JBPLook, the vindication is always the end, that is, the result of the Work and the labor which that messenger comes to do from God. The Work that he comes to carry out, when he fulfills it, at the end that result of what that messenger came to do is fulfilled; and that is the vindication that God had sent him.
The vindication of the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels will be resurrection and the transformation; and that is when the world will realize that God was in the midst of the human race carrying out the Work relevant to the Dispensation of the Kingdom, in that beginning in which He would carry out a Claiming Work, He would carry out the promise of resurrection, the promise of transformation, the rapture, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and a Millennium.
Notice everything that comes after the vindication of that ministry. The work will come first, where many people will perhaps not understand, not comprehend; but the elect, the wise, will understand. They, by loving His Coming and receiving His Coming, would then be receiving, in the vindication, the promises relevant to that Claiming Work; which begins progressively until it reaches the climax, where God will vindicate what He is carrying out today.
He continues to say [“THE UNVEILING OF GOD”]:
153 And when He begin to thunder, when Jehovah started thundering, the people said, “No! No! No! Don’t let Jehovah speak; we’ll—we’ll die.”
154 See, He had to be veiled, so God veiled Himself in Moses and give Moses the Word. And Moses come down and spoke the Word of the Lord, in a veil over his face. That right? Jehovah veiled in a form of a prophet, ’cause it would’ve absolutely…And God said He wouldn’t speak to them anymore like that. He would only speak to them by a prophet. That’s the only way He would ever speak from then on. That’s the only way He’s ever spoke. That’s right. Never any other way. He don’t lie.
155 Notice, only Moses had the Word. Now, there wasn’t a—a group came down, there wasn’t just the Pharisees, or the Sadducees, or it wasn’t a—a certain sect or a clan. It was Moses!
JBP[155] It was Moses! He got one man. He can’t get two or three different minds. He takes one man.
JBP[155] Moses had the Word, and Moses alone.
JBP[155] Moses had the Word, and Moses alone. Joshua even didn’t have It.
JBP[155] No one else had It. Amen! Joshua was a—a general; Joshua was a commander of the army; Joshua was a believer, a Christian. But Moses was a prophet! The Word can’t come to Joshua; It’s got to come to Moses. He was the major prophet of the hour. Notice, the Word never did come to Joshua till Moses was gone ([JBP] see?). No, sir. God deals with one at a time. God is one. See? Now, only Moses had the Word, not a group.
156 Look, God warned any persons not to try to follow Moses into that veil; impersonators. See? Woman, man, priest, whoever it was, how godly, how man, how much honor, how much they was; He warned ([JBP] there he writes on the left): [WSS] «only Moses had the Word / God works with one at a time / God is one», “Let Moses come alone! And if any man, even an animal, touches it, must be killed right there.” Never break before that veil. That veil belongs to one person.
JBP[156] That Message is one. See? In the temple, one man went in once a year, anointed and fixed to go in; not to bring out the Word, but to offer blood. To even walk in there before It, only one. Any other man died. See?
JBPNow, notice how that was showing us what would happen at this end time when He would leave the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, and then He would already be in that human Throne.
The same thing happened to Judas Iscariot: instead of going to the Throne there, instead of going to the veil of flesh, the Word, repenting from what he had done, he went to the temple there, with the high priest, the doctors of the Law, to seek mercy, and he didn’t find it9; and yet, on the Cross, you see that thief there, and he recognized who Jesus was, and obtained mercy.10
Now he continues saying [“THE UNVEILING OF GOD”]:
157 They spiritually die now. This is a spiritual veil. See? That was a natural veil. This is spiritual veil. See? They keep walking right on in behind there, you can tell them. “Oh, I know! I know that, but I…”
I said, “Go ahead, it’s all right, it only speaks…” You remember, the last plague in Egypt was death, before the exodus. The last plague on earth is spiritual death, before the exodus. Then they’ll be cremated and turned back to the dust, and the righteous will walk out upon their ashes. But the last thing is spiritual death, rejecting the Word.
JBPJBPAnd notice that there what happened in the time of Moses is then fulfilled, where people who will be crucifying the Second Coming of the Lord, with things against that veil of flesh, the first thing they will obtain is spiritual death; and then they will be burned (brother Branham says there) and turned to dust; in other words, they are cast into the great tribulation. Now, that is the last thing. Brother Branham says [“THE UNVEILING OF GOD”]:
[157] But the last thing is spiritual death, rejecting the Word.
JBPHere he also writes: [WSS] «You can know them. I know that, but I…».
158 Now notice, God warned any persons not to try to follow Moses into the veil of Fire. Moses was to be veiled, he had to come out of there. Moses went in as Moses, went into this Pillar of Fire; and when he walked back out, he was veiled. For, he went into There, out of his traditions, the traditions of the elders. He had saw the Pillar of Fire, but now he goes into the Pillar of Fire. See? Amen! And he come forth, veiled. God’s Word in a man, veiled! Here he come walking out, oh, my, I can see it. Warned nobody else to try it, nobody can impersonate That. You better not. See? Even a priest or a holy man, whoever it was, cardinal, bishop, anything else, trying to go in that veil, died. God warned them. We’ll have no impersonations.
159 His Word is revealed to one. It’s always been, a prophet came with the Word of the Lord, each age, every time, down through the Scripture. The Word comes to one. In every age, the same, even in the church ages, from the very first to the last. Others have their places, that’s right, notice, but stay away from that Pillar of Fire. See? What a lesson we learn here! See, everybody wanting to be a Moses, and everybody…
160 You remember what Dathan and them said out there? They said, “Now, Moses, wait here just a minute! You take too much upon yourself, see. Now, there is other men here that God has called.”
161 That is true. They, each one, were following fine as long as they went along, but when one tried to step up and take God’s position that He give Moses, which was predestinated and ordained to that job, tried to take it, fire come down and opened up the earth and swallowed them right into it. See? See? Be careful. See? Just be a good, God’s godly Christian, believing the Word. See? Stay away from that Pillar. What a lesson!
JBPAnd Moses, in Revelation, chapter 11, and Zechariah, chapter 4, we see that he is one of the Two Olive Trees. In other words, that dispensational ministry, it was promised that at the end of time it would be manifested, where those ministries would be carrying out the Claiming Work; because the Son of Man comes with His Angels. And to imitate that ministry of Moses, that ministry of Elijah or the ministry of Jesus, is death: the same thing that happened to Dathan, Abiram and Korah will happen to him.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Therefore, let’s be patient with one another, and tolerant of one another, knowing that as God has promised, so He will do.
Remember that we go through stages of trials where the important thing is to remain steadfast; and if we don’t understand things at first, we will understand them later on.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*145 Oh, they, each one thinks they got anointing, “Glory to God, he can do this and do that!” But put him on the Word test and find what he comes out at, see, the Message of the hour.
JBPAnd he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
146 They had anointing in the time of Jesus, but not on Him.
JBP147 They had anointing in time… Even Dathan had anointing in the time of Moses. He said, “Now, don’t you think you’re the only holy one among us, God’s got plenty. We’ll just start an organization here, a group of men.”
148 God said to Moses, “Separate yourself from him,” and He opened up the earth and swallowed them up. He had give His original Word to Moses, His prophet; that’s the only way He ever did do it, and the only way He ever will do it. He doesn’t change His plan, see.
JBPHere, in this little part at the bottom on the right, in paragraph 148 (it is numbered here), there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages; and he draws seven stages… When I say “a Cornerstone and the ages” it’s because you already know the drawing; but in this one he puts it as the messengers of each dispensation, and the Cornerstone at the top, but he places them as: «Adam, Seth, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, the Angel of Jesus (in the seventh)», the Cornerstone is above.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Remember what Deuteronomy, chapter 8, tells us; and that shows us something that we all must understand. Verse 1 and on, says:
“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.
And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.”
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*148613 – “40 I believe the church is beginning to hear the Message, and begin to understand. But, friends, listen, we’ve got to lay in the Presence of the Son, we’ve got to be ripened. Our—our faith isn’t ripe. Intellectually we’re hearing the Message that God has give us, and seeing the signs that He showed us, and proving it by the Bible, it’s there, but, oh, how the church needs to lay in His Presence till it tenders up, you know, and gets sweet in the Spirit so that it can bathe down. Sometimes in speaking the Message, you get harsh, have to break it in like that, because you’ve got to clinch a nail to make it hold. But when the Church once gets It, the Elected is called out and separated, then in the Presence of God [WSS] «Most Holy Place», I know it’ll be something like the people was There when It takes Its Rapture.”
JBPAnd he draws an arrow towards a drawing he made of the Cornerstone and the ages; and he writes: [WSS] «8» in the Cornerstone, and in the seventh age he writes: [WSS] «7».
And on the left upwards he writes:
[WSS] «The Sun to ripen our faith».
And he also writes:
[WSS] «The Sun: The Light».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*“And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.”
The reason for the trajectory of the people is clear to us there: The people had not matured, they were green, or super green, more than green; they were… they were a cold-hearted people, their heart was hardened. And the greatest thing they had was the Pillar of Fire that accompanied Moses; therefore, they had to appreciate what God had given them: the Pillar of Fire and a prophet.
JBPAnd they may say: “But Paul was great,” or “Irenaeus, or Martin, Columba, Reverend William Branham” or “Dr. William Soto Santiago.” What God has given the Church today! is the greatest thing He has given Her: it is the Pillar of Fire and a prophet.
Because what He promised in His Word and through the prophets, God has fulfilled it. He is faithful to fulfill what He said. He is faithful to vindicate what Reverend William Branham was shown in the Tent Vision.
He vindicated Moses, when Moses said that he had seen the Pillar of Fire talking with him. God at this time has vindicated what brother Branham saw in the vision: that he saw the Pillar of Fire talking to someone higher above.
And today God is vindicating that Word: The Pillar of Fire, the Pillar of Fire, is speaking to His Church-Bride and giving Her Rapturing Faith in the fulfillment of what He promised: that the Teaching, the Thunders [would be] spoken, in and under a Great Tent Cathedral.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*257 Now you say, “Well, look at this priest. Wasn’t he a son of God?” It proved he wasn’t. He couldn’t recognize what? Did he say, “I believe the Bible”? Sure. But he couldn’t recognize the expressed Word of the hour. He only had an intellectual learning from some group that had been back before him.
258 And it’s the same thing today!
JBP[258] See? I know that’s strong, but it’s the Truth.
259 There was the Word, as spoken exactly for that day; and, he, yet he was a scholar, yet he was a renown person, but he could not recognize It. Why? No matter how scholar he was, anything like that, he still didn’t have representation of predestination.
JBPJBP[259] See?
260 Only the predestinated will only be the one who does it; only can be. And you only can do it… Because, look, it proves predestination.
JBP[260] … it proves predestination. Cause, if you’ve got Eternal Life, you had to be a part of God all times, ’cause He’s the only One is Eternal. You see it? Oh, my! Think of it.
261 Now watch what happens through the great Millennium.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] … therefore, they were supposed to value what God had given them: the Pillar of Fire and a prophet. The Pillar of Fire: Christ in that light accompanying the people.
We have seen that patience, understanding, tolerance, and so on, must be manifested in the lives of believers, so that —firm in the faith— we may obtain what God has promised.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*109 Now we see He, God, then identifying Himself in all ages. How? How did He identify Himself now? What characteristic did He use? His same characteristic, from the beginning: manifesting His Word, making His Word to live. That’s the identification, the promised Word of that age. See?
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*106517 – “[253] He was the a-vindicated Light of that day. See?
254 But there’s more Word to be a-vindicated. He’s got to vindicate more Word.”
JBP[WSS] «Jesus, Elijah, Moses».
1065 – “[254] And when the last Word is vindicated…”
JBPJBP1065 – “[254] And when the last Word is vindicated, is vindicated ([JBP] and there - he writes): [WSS] «The Lord with Elijah and Moses…» ([JBP] meaning, it is the ministry of the Son of Man with His Angels): [WSS] «… will be vindicated in the 2nd Coming», rather, then death is swallowed up in victory, and the dead in Christ shall rise, the Millennium will set in…”
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] And remember that God’s promises are of or to, and of those for whom, and in whom they are fulfilled, they are materialized. That is why it is so important to know the divine promises for this time.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*131118 – “[27] We are, and believe that we are, in the Presence of Jesus Christ, but it’s your attitude that brings the results. The mechanics is here, and so is the dynamics. If you can just get started, God will do the rest.”
JBP[WSS] «Get started, and God will do the rest».
And above he writes: [WSS] «The mechanics and the dynamics».
«The attitude (the faith or unbelief) brings the result».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] It is not about saying: “If I were in Noah’s time, I would believe Noah’s Message, I would believe in Noah, and I would be there working with a hammer, and a saw, and other tools, along with Noah.” As you believe and act at this time, that is what you would have done in Noah’s time.
[JBP] In other words, if you are carrying out a work today, well, that same thing is exactly what you would be doing in Noah’s time.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*11819 - “35* I believe, and can prove, that the right mental attitude *([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «positive» ([JBP] above there) towards any Divine promise of God ([JBP] and on the right he draws a Star of David) will bring it to pass. Yes, sir. The right mental attitude, but you’ve got to have the right attitude. The—the attitude is what brings the results. If you say, ‘Yes, yes, I believe it but I don’t know now.’ That’s not the right attitude. The right attitude is to receive it, and say it’s ‘THUS SAITH THE LORD.’ Then it’s right.”
JBPAnd he writes above: [WSS] «The mental attitude to the promise will make it fulfilled».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Therefore, we have been given a time parallel to Noah’s time, and that is why we have to know what the divine promises for our time are, the things that God will be carrying out; and that He will be using people to materialize those promises. And therefore, there will be workers who must be approved by God.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[99] Job, another believer.
100 Sometimes, believers put to the test. Not sometimes; every time! “For every son that cometh to God must be chastened, tried, child-trained.” ([JBP] he writes there): [WSS] «every child» ([JBP] on the left). Remember, the trials, the dusty roads, the hot sun of persecution, but the loyalty of your heart beats that material till she is ready to go into the mold. God’s children is made up correctly on His Word, for they are living examples, and the Word of God living through them. See? The trial comes to shake you, to put you to the very bottom, to see where you’ll stand. They tested, try every son that cometh to God.
101 Job went through the trials and the tests. His children taken; everything else taken. The church members come, accused him of being a secret sinner, and tried to say everything against him ([JBP] look, they were even speaking slander against him), but yet he wouldn’t listen to any of it. He knowed he had met God’s requirements. He knowed there’s no need of Satan trying to tempt him. He knowed it was the devil. And as long as Satan can make him believe that his sickness was his God doing it, he had Job whipped. But when Job once struck that revelation, that it was not God! He was only going through his trials to make him something. It wasn’t God doing it. It was Satan doing it.
JBP102 And same thing today. He’ll try to tell you these trials and thing is your God trying to put punishment upon you. It isn’t so. No, sir. It’s Satan doing that, and God permitting it, to temper you; to make you see if you’re—you are tied to this earth, by the earth cares, or whether your treasures is in Heaven. “For wherever your treasures is, there you are also.” That’s right. Your heart is where your treasures are.
103 Job, tried, yet he said, “I know my Redeemer liveth; at the last days He’ll stand upon the earth. Though after my skin worms destroys my body…” (...)
105 “...yet in my flesh shall I see God.” Amen! You cannot annihilate it. Though the skin worms eat it up, it still will come back again. “Whom I shall see for myself. Mine eyes shall behold, and not another.” He said it, Job. Why? He was a believer. In trials he was a believer. In persecution, he was a believer. He was a genuine believer.
106 Joseph, another believer, he couldn’t help being what he was. He was a prophet. God made him a prophet. He didn’t want to be different from his brothers ([JBP] Because a prophet isn’t made a prophet, he is born a prophet), but he was different. God made him what he is. Nobody else could take his place.
107 Nobody can take your place…
JBP[WSS] «Nobody can take his place».
JBPAnd no one could take the place of Judas either, who represents the antichrist, the beast, the man of sin, whom and in whom the devil will be incarnated in all his fullness; where very soon, in whoever he has there (because he leaves, he dies, he is removed and they put another one, he is removed and they put another one), whoever he is in, that would be the Judas of this time [in] whom the devil would be incarnate.
[WMB] “At the same time that the devil falls out of Heaven and becomes incarnate in a man, the Holy Spirit goes up and comes down incarnate in a man.”22 See? Because it’s the same.
Now, that spirit would also be in people, who would be allowing themselves to be used by the enemy; and they also become spirits of Judas, whether by betraying the Word or speaking badly, or by being part of that persecution movement. In other words, he doesn’t necessarily have to go turn him in, but by contributing to all that movement, there the person would automatically already have that same spirit.
Now he continues saying [“THREE KINDS OF BELIEVERS”]:
107 Nobody can take your place, no matter how little. You say, “I’m just a housewife.” Nobody can take your place. God, in His great economy, has so set so, the Body of Christ, in order, till there is no one can take your place. How I would like to take Billy Graham’s place, any of us ministers, but we can’t do it; but, just remember, Billy can’t take our place. See, we all have a place, some of us are evangelists, some prophets, some teachers, some pastors, whatever we are; some housewives, some mechanics, some farmers, whatever it is, God has set you in your place. See?
108 Joseph was a prophet. He couldn’t help because he could interpret dreams. He couldn’t help because that he saw visions. Watch how true he was. No matter if it cost him his fellowship with his brothers, he was true, because he believed those dreams. He believed that, the dream that he had, that they would all bow to him, the sheaves would. It come to pass because he believed it. He was a genuine believer.
JBPAbove is where he writes: [WSS] «God has placed you in the position you are in».
In other words, it is the position you are in, which you are placed in by God.
But also write down the page of that subject, from the message “WARNING BEFORE JUDGMENT,” write that page as well: 10 and 11. And then at some point we can read it… from that subject. Here it is: “GOD DOESN’T CALL MAN TO JUDGMENT WITHOUT FIRST WARNING HIM,” because they put the subject like that in some messages; but inside you can see that it has another one… in some versions it’s like that: “WARNING BEFORE JUDGMENT.” You can write that subject there, which is page 10 and 11.23
Now, it goes on to say here in this same message, a writing of our brother William. In the message “THREE KINDS OF BELIEVERS,” he writes:
[WSS] «Every child of God must be tested».
And on «must be» he says: [WSS] «[don’t avoid them]».
JBPThe test of Jesus there in Gethsemane, notice, He tried to avoid it, but look, He had to accept that transcendental decision; and that’s how it is at this end time, because it would be parallel in every way. If He made that decision back then, that veil of flesh at the end of time has also made that decision.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] So that there are, so that there may be workers approved by God in the Mystical Body of Christ: Second Timothy, chapter 2, verse 15, Paul tells Timothy:
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (meaning, the Word of Christ).”
“AN APPROVED WORKMAN.”
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*171 The people, think, seen something had happened to him. He was now different from the rest of the Israelites. He was a different, his message was different, he was different from the priests, he was different from anything. See, he was a different person. The people seen something had happened. God had veiled Himself in His prophet, to speak His Words to them ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David on the left). That’s what He had done. Moses was that living Word to the people, veiled by the Pillar of Fire, speaking what was to be veiled later behind badger skins. See?
172 The Word had to come from Moses, first. See? Moses had the Word. They were written by God, nobody could interpret Them, Moses had to interpret Them, first. That’s the reason he veiled his face, ’cause he… Do you see It? See?
Here It is. [Brother Branham picks up his Bible—Ed.] We could pick It, pack It up, and everything else there, but It’s got to be revealed. In order to reveal, Moses had to become God to the people.
JBPAnd in the previous paragraph, where it says: “Moses was that living Word to the people, veiled by the Pillar of Fire, speaking what was to be veiled later behind badger skins,” there, he draws a Star of David. And he writes: [WSS] «Moses was the living Word to the people».
If the Pillar of Fire was working through him, then it was God there —in the midst of the Hebrew people— speaking everything that God had to speak to the people; it was through Moses. And if the Pillar of Fire was seen in The Great Tent Cathedral, then it is the Pillar of Fire that is speaking to the people through that instrument.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] The Scripture speaks to us about workers in different parables. For example, we have in Matthew, chapter 24, verses 42 to 47, or up to 51, it says:
“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?”
The spiritual food, the Word, in due season; and the Word of the time in which they are given to live, the Message of God for the time in which they are given live.
“Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.”
“Over all His goods.” Those are great words; and most of all, because they are the words of Christ, which means they are the Truth.
In response to those words, in Revelation it tells us, chapter 2 and chapter 3… Chapter 2 promises saying, in that chapter, verse 26 and on:
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations…”
Just as authority is given to a person to be mayor, governor, representative, senator or president of a nation…, through people’s vote, that authority is being given to them.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[302] Notice! And when this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us, in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings [and Lord of lords].
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] … through people’s vote, that authority is being given to them. And here, through God’s vote, that authority is given to the Overcomer.
“And he shall rule them with a rod of iron (meaning, he will govern them); as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.”
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*331 Can’t you see, Methodist ministers, how that your message of sanctification was above that which Luther preached?
332 You Pentecostals, can’t you see your message of the baptism is beyond that which Methodists preached? You know what I mean?
333 Oh, we’ve had a lot of things go forth! And that’s right. And if there’s anybody that despises wrong, and people saying something that’s actually lies and not the Truth, I hate that.
334 But I—I do love the solid Truth…
JBPBecause, notice there, in the time of Ananias and Sapphira, they were among the people, they were loved, cared for by the people, and God did not forgive them for that; in other words, He did not allow them to continue living and continue laboring in the Work there at that time.
Now, we don’t know about them, about that specific case; because God deals with each one as an individual. We don’t know whether they were lost or not; because they, notice, have something in their favor, and it is that they were not against the work of the apostles, because we saw them there putting a certain amount at the feet of the disciples (in that case Peter was there).
But notice, it is not recorded that they were fighting against or speaking against Peter and the apostles; but even with the action they did, the work that they were doing, did not exempt them from judgment. But in that specific case we do not know if they were lost or not.
Now, how much more so those who lie! And to top it off they are against the Divine Program! There they have two things that condemn them: lying and being against the Holy Spirit at this time.
Now, he it goes on to say [The Seals] [P. 552]:
334 But I—I do love the solid Truth, no matter how much It interrupts this way or that way. If It’s Truth, God will finally show It as Truth. And if He doesn’t do that, one of these days soon, then my vision wasn’t right. Now you see where I just laid myself. ([JBP] And you know what vision he is referring to).
335 “When will it be, Brother Branham?” I cannot tell you. I do not know.
336 But, one of these days, if we never meet again on this earth, we’re going to meet yonder at the—at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
JBPAnd also, further on he writes:
[WSS] «Rev. 2:26-28, 3:21, 11:3-19».
If it speaks of the Throne of Judgment, here in this Scripture it is speaking of Moses and Elijah. In other words, where will the people come forward to? Which is the Throne of Judgment of Jesus Christ?
Now, he goes on to say:
[336] And you’ll find out, that, in that room, the revelation coming from God, just like all the rest of them has, that Them…One of the mystery of that Seal, the reason It wasn’t revealed…
JBPNow, he continues saying:
[336] One of the mystery of that Seal, the reason It wasn’t revealed, It was Seven Thunders that uttered Their voices. And there It is, perfectly. Because, nothing knows anything about It. It wasn’t even written. So, we’re at the end time. We are here.
JBPWell, if the Thunders were spoken, why is the person still here? Why hasn’t the person been raptured?
When the last Word is given under the Tent, under the Teaching of the Thunders, under the Teaching under the Tent…; which he said, that in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision those Thunders would be made known; in other words, the Scripture of Revelation, chapter 10, would be fulfilled, which is the Coming of the Mighty Angel.
Now, notice that this promise couldn’t have happened, because in the Dispensation of Grace He was still on the Throne of Intercession, He had not taken the Book yet; in 2018, 2019 at the beginning, it was still closing there, so that Door could then be opened.
Then where do they get that the Thunders have already uttered their voices? The Thunders utter their voices in a higher age that is outside the Dispensation of Grace, that is, in the Most Holy Place.
That is why many cannot understand and comprehend what the Thunders are; they say they know, but they don’t know anything. In other words, it is of no use for you to spend years in the Message if you don’t have the revelation from Above, if you don’t have the representation of the seventh dimension.
Now, he continues to say [The Seals] [P. 553]:
[336] One of the mystery of that Seal, the reason It wasn’t revealed, It was Seven Thunders that uttered Their voices. And there It is, perfectly. Because, nothing knows anything about It. It wasn’t even written. So, we’re at the end time. We are here.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] The same way that Christ received this authority from the Father, so will He grant it to the Overcomer.
Remember that Christ in Matthew, chapter 28, verses 16 to 20, said: “All power is given unto me in Heaven and on Earth.” He will give authority to the Overcomer in the same way.
We also find that authority being given in Revelation chapter 3, verses 20 to 22, of Revelation, where it says:
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne…”
And what is the Throne of Christ? We know what is the heavenly Throne of God, where Christ is seated with the Father. And which is the Throne of Christ? The Throne of David, where He has promised —the same way that He has sat with the Father— to seat the Overcomer with Him on His Throne.
Therefore, the Overcomer at the time of that reward will be able to say: “All power is given unto me on Earth…”
[JBP] Because Jesus had said in chapter 28, verse 16 to 20: “All power is given unto Me in Heaven and on Earth.” And that same authority, notice, is also transferred to the Overcomer of the end of time, where he will be able to say:
[WSS] “All power is given unto me on earth: in the kingdom of Messiah.” Just as Christ said: “All power is given unto Me (where?) in Heaven and on Earth.” It seems like He is going to share some of that authority on Earth, which He received in Heaven and on Earth; and that pertains to the Kingdom of Messiah, when He sits on the Throne of David. And with Him: the Overcomer.
JBPIn other words, at this end time, notice, the time will come when, just as Jesus said: “All power or all authority…, all power is given to Me in Heaven and on Earth,” at this end time I will be able to say at some point: “All power is given to me on Earth, in the Kingdom of the Messiah!” As simple as that.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[156] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, (amen), even as I also overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
157 There’s a reward for overcomers. Press on, lily. If it’s in you, lay aside the mud and everything else, and press towards the top. Yes, sir. “To sit with Me on My throne.”
JBP158 You know, one time, the mother of James and John… We won’t have time to read it. The mother of James and John came and asked for this place. You know that? Remember that? [Matthew 20:21] “Lord, let my son set on one side, and my other son set on the other.”
JBPAnd he writes: [WSS] «The Throne».
[158] There’s a mother’s desire for her son.
But watch. But, “That place,” Jesus said, “was predestinated.” This position was not in existence at that time. Why? Notice. “It will be granted to them who it is meant for.” ([JBP] He draws a Cornerstone and the ages on the left). What? The one to set at the right hand, and the other closest to Him, was yet an overcomer. See? It was still…He said, “I—I don’t grant this. I can’t grant this, but it will be given after the trial comes.” Amen. See? “I can’t give this. But after the trial comes, they’ll set on the right hand and on the left ([JBP] and he writes below): [WSS] «on the Throne: one to the right and one to the left». There’s a predestinated seed waiting out yonder for that. It will be given to the ones that it’s promised to. It’ll be given there, but the test hasn’t come yet (...)”
JBPNow see, he continues saying:
159 The person that was to take this place on one side, and another one to take it on the other side, next to Him in the Kingdom, it wasn’t yet given, see, hadn’t been overcome.
JBP[159] … Him in the Kingdom, it wasn’t yet given, see, hadn’t been overcome. The test hadn’t fell yet. “It will fall in the future.”
“If we suffer…”
JBP[159]“If we suffer for Christ and His Word, we will reign with Him [2 Timothy 2:12], for He is the Word.” Remember, “If we suffer for Him and His Word, we’ll reign with Him, in His Word.”
JBPAbove that paragraph he also draws a Star of David.
160 Notice. He, our Example, overcome, and then ascended up, after He conquered death, hell, sickness, grave. Everything, He conquered. “Then He ascended up, and led captivity captive, give gifts unto men.” That was the Old Testament, with the Old Testament saints that had overcome. They looked for such a Person, and they died before It got there. But when this Person come, “It didn’t prevent them which were asleep.” Amen. Can’t lose, any way. Live or die, what difference does it make? “Won’t prevent.”
JBPAnd then also, in paragraph 159, at the end he draws a Star of David, where it says: ”We’ll reign with Him, in His Word.” and there he draws a Star of David.
And he writes upwards: [WSS] «He led captivity captive = to the O.T. saints (of the Old Testament)».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] (…) And now, the Church is the pillar and ground of the truth; and each messenger is a pillar of that House.
Therefore, there we can see that in each age, the messenger, along with the group of believers of his age has a burden, a responsibility towards God and towards the Church of the living God.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*105927 – “[333] Now, I am just your brother. I sure you understand that. I am a man; He is God. But God only can work, and always has worked, and only worked, through man.”
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] And everyone has a responsibility towards the work that is relevant to that time, to carry it out; and that age along with the messenger and his group, they conquer the divine promises for that time.
JBP“HEEDING THE VOICE OF CHRIST AND LABORING IN HIS WORK.”
Let’s stand, and leave in this message “HEEDING THE VOICE OF CHRIST AND LABORING IN HIS WORK” our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
