BIBLE STUDY #451
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2024
Third activity
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
AI More than 4500 people attended the Bible Studies on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with Dr. Jose Benjamin Perez Matos in the “Moses Auditorium” in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, who arrived days before. Among the many international participants, there were 170 people from Puerto Rico, Spain, Colombia, United States, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guatemala, El Salvador. From the Mexican Republic, approximately 2000 people from the state of Nuevo Leon, and 2300 people from the rest of the country; of which more than 700 attended in 27 buses and vehicles of great capacity. In the Auditorium, 5 places were prepared where the activity would be broadcast with screens and sound equipment; since the seating capacity was exceeded, chairs were placed at the entrance of the main Auditorium, in the hallways, in front of the rooms and in different corridors. More than 200 people in need of special assistance were identified, so different spaces were set up for wheelchairs, stretchers and walkers. In addition, nursing and maternity areas were set up. –Editor*Dr. Jose B. Perez*Happy Birthday, Miguel Bermudez Marin!, our friend, our brother. Behold a miracle, a miracle of God, who has allowed us to have him up to this end time, and today he is with us enjoying all the blessings that He has in His Coming.
Greetings to all the brethren in all Latin America, there in Puerto Rico, and also in Africa, and also in Israel, and in Austria, and in all the places that this signal is reaching from here, from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. And to all those who have come from different places, who have taken everything from buses, to all means of transportation…, some of them, surely even bicycles, or all means possible to be here.
May God bless you greatly and speak directly to our souls today, to our hearts, and allow us to understand His Word on this occasion.
I also thank God that my wife Sara is with me, also my daughter Sarah Ester and her husband Jorge, and my grandson Yosef Eliseo, and also Erica with her husband Julian and their children Isaias Levi and Zoe Maria. It is a blessing to have them with me here, in this place, which is also my family.
I was rejoicing a lot to hear all the brethren singing together as one, being led from Puerto Rico, the devotional service; you sounded so beautiful. And I remembered the words of our brother William, when he said that [WSS] “we would even be accompanying Puerto Rico from the devotional.”1
See how the Word does not fall to the ground? How must that chorus of sons and daughters of God will sound there in Heaven! Not only here and in Puerto Rico, everyone singing those songs in unison; that is something that only the Holy Spirit can do.
So, promises are being fulfilled in such a simple way, that by the time we realize it, we will already be in that activity that Reverend William Branham saw. It’s all going to come to pass in those days.
For this occasion the subject is:
MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED (Ministers’ Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, March 7, 2009 Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Scripture: Hebrews 10:35-39
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*Hebrews 10:35
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*That’s how we are preparing everything. When we are among family, and we start seeing the needs. For example, in Villahermosa, Andres told me that he learned a lot from that activity that he had there; and he is already fixing and adding bathrooms and other things, which we saw were needed a little more in that activity. See? We had the activity and we saw what was needed.
Just like in the places they are already seeing…, some are seeing and they say: “See? That worked there and they are doing it that way, and look at how they are doing it, so we are going to use that same pattern.”
And we are preparing ourselves first of all by receiving the revelation, that Rapturing Faith; and also for that time where the foolish virgins will be coming in multitudes. And we would instead be the hosts, to help them, because they are coming very spiritually hungry.
And that has already begun: they are already distributing… in Argentina that has made such a great impact, the Message over there. They say: “The green books. The books that have and contain things we have never heard before.” And they are already given, the May volume, for example, and not even a day later, or less than that: “I already… we already read it, we already read it to the congregation. Give us the next one.” They can’t keep up over there anymore, something started there; and that is going to increase in all the countries.
And they are going to be, many of them, in that activity that we will have there. And they no longer have that issue of not hiding or…, instead they are very open; and they say:
—“Can we put flyers in our church that say: ‘The prophet will visit us in Argentina: Dr. Jose Benjamin Perez’? Can we put them up already so that they come to the activity?” they asked.
And I: “However they do it and as long as it’s their wording and they understand it, there’s no problem.” And many are going to go to that activity.
So, it has to start somewhere; and from what we can see, it has already sparked over there (as we say), caused a spark, from that group; although in other places they are also receiving the Message the way that God is making it known under the Teaching.
Notice how the groups…, which, the Third Pull, Reverend William Branham said, will be impacted: the Bride, the foolish, the world and the 144,000.2
Now, God is carrying out and fulfilling everything according to His promise, to His Program. He is not going to stray to one side or to the other; rather: everything that is written has a fulfillment.3
At this end time God is fulfilling what was promised: He said that He would send His Angels at the end of time; but in order to carry out that promise at the end of time, He has to use a veil of flesh, because He used a veil of flesh at all times; therefore, to carry out that Work, He would be using a veil of flesh.
Now look, he tells us in this message:
WATER OF ETERNAL LIFE FOR ALL WHO THIRST Dr. William Soto Santiago Friday, January 1, 1993 Cayey, Puerto Rico
The Throne that Jesus, that Christ will take in the midst of the Hebrew people is the Throne of David, there in Jerusalem. That Throne of David, there in Jerusalem, is a type and figure of the spiritual Throne of the Lord Jesus Christ in the heavenly Israel. That Throne is and is located in the Age of the Cornerstone, to which He comes in His Second Coming and positions Himself as King of kings and Lord of lords, He positions Himself as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He positions Himself there as the root and the offspring of David, He positions himself there as the Son of David, to then manifest Himself to the Hebrew people, to the earthly Israel; but first He manifests Himself, reveals Himself, to the heavenly Israel, which is typified in the earthly Israel.
That is why the Hebrew people are waiting for the Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Messiah. Christ, Messiah and Anointed means the same thing, it is the same thing. Christ, Messiah or Anointed One is ‘the One anointed with the Pillar of Fire.’
[JBP] Isn’t that what Reverend William Branham saw when the Angel was showing him everything in that vision? He saw the Pillar of Fire speaking to somebody else above where he was4.
[WSS] Now, Christ in His First Coming was not recognized as the person anointed with the Pillar of Fire…
[JBP] Now, in His First Coming, notice, He wasn’t recognized by the Hebrew people; but notice that at the end of time the Church-Bride would recognize him; but the gentile world would not.
Now, he goes on to say:
[WSS] …was not recognized as the person anointed with the Pillar of Fire, the Messiah promised to the Hebrew people; although the Hebrew people were expecting the Coming of the Messiah and He revealed Himself to them in that three-and-a-half-year ministry, but they were blind and could not see that they had the King of Israel, the Son of David, in their midst!
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*265 Now, so, He was so simple. When this Messiah…
JBP[265] For four thousand years, every prophet spoke of Him; David sung of Him, and all down through. And when He come, the people had their own idea built up, what He must do, how He was going to do. How it was all explained, drawed out on charts and everything, till, when He come in that real simple way…
JBP[265] … till, when He come in that real simple way, it just—it just ruined their theology. See, they didn’t know it.
JBP266 He come according to the Word. Now, do you believe that God spoke through the prophets, that that Messiah would come in a certain way? It’s too bad we haven’t got about another hour that we could go through there and explain how it was. See? We all know how it was, though, most of us. How God said He would come, and how that, “Thou, Bethlehem of Judaea, art not the least amongst…” And all down through there, and how He would do, and what He would do. See?
267 And, yet, He was so simple! Till, those great scholars had got it so mixed up, till they missed it. But, you know Jesus didn’t come contrary to the Word. He come according to the Word, but contrary to their interpretation ([JBP] and there he draws a Star of David on the left). See? He taught things that was against their ecclesiastical training about Him.
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Look at who saw Him and recognized Him as the Son of David: Bartimaeus. Bartimaeus recognized that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of David, and he cried out, “Son of David, have mercy on me.”5
Who saw him as the Son of David? A blind man. Bartimaeus saw Jesus as the Son of David, and he cried out to Him, and received his healing, received his sight.
JBPNow notice how the children of God have cried out at this time under the ministry and title of Son of David. And if back then a blind man received his sight, how much more so a spiritually blind man who cries out to the Son of David at this time!: “Have mercy on me, open my eyes! Open my eyes to see Your Coming, Lord!.”
And He has opened and will continue to open their spiritual eyes; because that is the greatest miracle, that is the miracle where physically there is no greater miracle than to open the spiritual eyes of a spiritually blind man.
And notice that then the miracle will be the total healing of that body which has seen His Coming. You cannot receive the glorified body if you are spiritually blind. The two things have to go together: first the spiritual blindness is healed, and then you will obtain the physical healing of the physical body that we have. It is a process, it goes hand in hand; it is an order. As he once preached “THE ORDER OF THE RAPTURE” or “THE ORDER OF THE ADOPTION.”6 See, there is an order established by God.
[WSS] …and cried out to Him, and received healing, received his sight. And the Hebrew people, despite having eyes, saw Jesus, but they did not see Him as the Son of David, they did not see Him as the King of Israel that they were waiting for.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*94 Now, please, everywhere, let that soak in. That, God, in the Word, can hide Himself so in the Word, that there isn’t a theologian or a school in the world could ever find Him, and yet He’s setting right there.
You say, “Is that right, Brother Branham?”
How about the Pharisees and Sadducees? How about in every age? He’s done it. Sure. He’s done so in every age.
JBP[94] Now we could check that. Let’s think about the days of Noah; smart, intellectual age, how He hid Hisself in His promised Word ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «veil, in flesh, in Noah». In the days of Moses ([JBP] and he also writes above that): [WSS] «He veiled Himself in Moses», how He hid Hisself. In the days of Elijah, how He hid Hisself. In the days of Jesus, how He hid Hisself.
JBP[94] “He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came to His Own; His Own received Him not.” See?
95 He hides Himself from the smartest, intellectual man there is on the earth. You say, “Well, this is Dr. Holy Father So-and-so.” I don’t care who he is, God hides Himself from him; and will reveal it to babies such as will learn…
JBP[95] …see, babies of God, predestinated seed.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*11078 – “[148] And it was a vindicated prophet that unfolded the Word and told them, ‘Thou shalt not! Thou shall! And thou shall not!’ See?
149 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?
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.’”
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*Though he will not be popular, he will be vindicated by God. As Jesus authenticated John, and the Holy Ghost authenticated Jesus, we can well expect this man will be first of all authenticated by the Spirit working in his life in acts of power that are indisputable and found nowhere else; and Jesus Himself, in returning, will authenticate him, even as He authenticated John. John witnessed that Jesus was coming, — and so will this man, like John, witness that Jesus is coming. And the very return of Christ will prove that this man indeed was the forerunner of His second coming ([JBP] there he writes): [WSS] «The final evidence». This is the final evidence that this indeed is the prophet of Malachi 4, for the end of the Gentile period will be Jesus, Himself, appearing [WSS] «of the Dispensation of Grace*» *([JBP] and there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, the arrow to the Cornerstone and the seventh). Then it will be too late for those who have rejected him.
JBP[Quotations]
1107 – “[151] 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.’ You can scientifically prove It, even, if you want to. See?”
JBPAbove he also writes: [WSS] «A vindicated prophet».
«He revealed Himself in a human being, or the Word would have blinded even the elect».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*96 Think. The Mighty God, setting in His Own Words, blinding the smart ([JBP] How was God setting in His own Word? Well, He was setting in Jesus), educated people of this present age, and they don’t see it. They think it’s just a bunch of fanaticism. Look at Him standing there hiding, to Pentecostals, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterian. Reveal Himself right out publicly, and showing all kinds of things, even putting it in the papers, and things like that, yet they don’t see it. Oh, our God, how great, revealing Himself to whomever He will.
JBPLook, what the prophets desired to see and hear, and today we are seeing each other, and we are hearing, and we tell each other: “God bless you!” and you tell me: “God bless you!” That is priceless. That is something that was reserved, predestined before the foundation of the world for us. King and Queen! Princes and princesses! Of this glorious Kingdom that will soon be established on this planet Earth. And that interlace is already being carried out.
Remember what we read this morning, in the greeting… not the one here, but the one that we had already prepared, where we read there: [WSS] “If the Title Deed is here, then we have to begin cleaning the House.”9
And when you have the title deed, of a property, you are not going to say to the person who made the sale and transferred it to you and everything, you are not going to tell him: “Well, I see that there are cockroaches, mice and everything there; clean it for me first.”
—“You bought the property, take care of it yourself.”
And notice that, since there is the Title Deed, then you have to send the Reaping Angels to make that separation, that segregation.
And see, it starts by cleansing us from the inside, sanctifying us from the inside, in our being, completely. The Title Deed is carrying out that Work starting from the elect and on.
Now, there is something so great there that the Holy Spirit is carrying out in each person, that perhaps we have not realized the Work that God is carrying out today in every elect as an individual.
Open all the doors to Him, and you will see how there will be no limits (for God) to use you; but if you keep one closed, He is going to stay in a little corner waiting for you to open for Him. Remember that He stands outside and knocks.
Now notice, there he writes: [WSS] «Revealing Himself in public, published in newspapers».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*110510 – “[130] Wherever the Word is, It’s veiled.
131 Moses had the Word. Now remember, after the Word was made manifest, Moses was Moses again. See? But while that Word was in him to be give out, he was God; well, he wasn’t Moses no more. He had the Word of the Lord for that age. Nothing could touch him till that was over; had that Word with him.”
JBPJBP[WSS] «Moses was the Word to the people».
[WSS] «That age and dispensation».
[WSS] «Nothing could touch him until the Work was over».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [“WATER OF ETERNAL LIFE FOR ALL WHO THIRST”]:
[WSS] And why is that? Because they were blinded, they were left blinded. Because of what? Because of the human veil that God used. And remember, that has always been what has blinded people, that has always been what has kept people from seeing God fulfilling what He promised.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*56 And God, what He does, He just changes Himself, to become to that generation, to make known Himself to that people ([JBP] He does that in each time). And that’s what we’re here to find out, tonight. In what way is God supposed to make Hisself known to this people and in this time? He changes His mask, He changes His act, but He doesn’t change His disposition ([JBP] there on the right side he writes): [WSS] «the instrument» ([JBP] meaning, He changes His mask, He changes the instrument). He doesn’t change His—His nature. He just changes His mask ([JBP] meaning, the instrument), from one to another. He does it, to reveal Himself more plain to the people, that they might know who He is, and what He is.
JBPAnd he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*80 Now, God, in… back in the days of the Old Testament, we find that after He had appeared to His people, in different forms, He veiled Himself behind old badger skins. God hiding behind badger skins, at His mercy seat. We find that, how that Solomon, when he dedicated the temple of the Lord, and these badger skins was hanging there, the veil, how that He came in as the Pillar of Fire and as a Cloud, and went down behind there, and veiled Himself, to the outside world. But, by faith, Israel knew that He was back there. They knew He was there, regardless of what any of the heathen worlds had to say. He was hid from the unbeliever. But the believer, by faith, knew He was back there. They had mercy. And He was at His mercy seat, which was a great secret.
JBP[WSS] «The Throne, the Veil and the Door = Christ».
81 You know, in the Old Testament, to enter behind that skin was death. Now to stay from behind it is death. Then to enter into His Glory was death. Now to stay away from His Glory is death.
JBP[81] That happened, of course, at the renting of the veil at Calvary, when the veil was rent, the old veil. Now to stay out of His Presence is death. Then to enter His Presence was death. See? It changes back and forth, and you must find the Scripture to see what day we’re living in.
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*110012 – “87 Notice, through the ages, the same way, by His prophets, He has revealed Himself. Them wasn’t exactly prophets, they were gods. He said so. For, what they spoke was God’s Word. They were the flesh that God was veiled in ([JBP] and there he draws a Star of David on the right). They were gods. Jesus said, Himself, said, ‘How can you condemn Me when I say I’m the Son of God, and your own law says that them who the Word of the Lord came to was gods?’ See?
88 So it was God formed in a man called a prophet. See? And the Word of the Lord came to this man, so it wasn’t the prophet; the prophet was the veil ([JBP] and he writes on the right there): [WSS] «the veil», but the Word was God ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «in H.S.» ([JBP] meaning, Holy Spirit). The man’s word won’t act like that. See what I mean? It cannot act in that manner. But potentially it was God. See, He was the Word of God in the form of a man, called ‘a man.’
Notice, He never changed His nature, only His form.”
JBP[WSS] «The Works of God in a man».
And he also writes: [WSS] «God veiled in a man».
And on the left, upwards, he writes:
[WSS] «The prophet = the flesh.
The Word = God».
Above he also writes: [WSS] «The prophets were Gods».
We already had that one13, but for those who hadn’t written it down there.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*Now look what he says… in the message “THE UNVEILING OF GOD”14 or “REMOVING THE VEIL,” page 24 says:
126 You know what the Gentile church does? The same thing the Jewish church did, too blind to see It. That’s all. It’ll be on their hearts just as it was in that day.
127 Notice, death, to stay away from It now. You must go into It through this veil, or you won’t.
JBP[127] How God could have mercy on them, but remember what it was, that God is manifesting what was behind that veil. Watch what was behind the veil ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone on the right), the Word! What did it veil? The Word!
JBPNow, notice how there he speaks to us about how that veil covered the Word.
[127] What was it? It’s in the ark. It was the Word that that veil hid. See? And Jesus was that Word, and He is that Word, and the veil of His flesh hid It.
JBP128 And today the veil of tradition hides the Word again, saying, “It’s not so.” But It is so! God is testifying of It, blasting Hisself right out as bright as the sun, before everyone, and they fail to see It. God, be merciful to us.
JBP[WSS] «You must go into Him through the veil».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*123515 – “[249] The translation of the Bride will be the same thing. The Word that’s in you…”
JBPNow:
1235 – “[249] …the body will materialize around that Word, and the same thing did by Sarah.”
JBPJBPAnd he writes above: [WSS] «the body will materialize transformation and rapture in the Word». «Abraham and Sarah».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] What prevented the people from seeing God in the most holy place? The veil, the veil of badger skins, of a simple little animal; those skins prevented the people from seeing God in the most holy place. And only the high priest, once a year, could enter the most holy place with the blood of the sacrifice of atonement. And if the high priest entered without that blood, he would see God, but he would die…
JBPNow, why did Aaron go to Moses? Because in Moses, he, Aaron as well as Mary or Miriam, could find mercy.
That is why the prayers, he says, were late, where he says: [WMB] “They cried, prayed,” but where were they praying to? Where were they seeking mercy? At a Throne that had already been changed to a throne of judgment.
There is no longer mercy on the heavenly Throne; therefore, one cannot enter at any time, as they entered in the Dispensation of Grace; now one is required to enter into the Presence of God through that veil, that new Mercy Seat, to find mercy.
What God is carrying out in the midst of the human race is so great, that what will openly and fully be established as the Millennial Kingdom, is being established.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*360 Notice the last verse of the Sixth Seal, opened. Those who had laughed at the preaching of the Word, of the vindicated Word of the living God;…
JBP[360] …when them prophets had stood there and performed miracles, closed the sun, and everything else, and all down through the age. See, “They cried for the rocks and the mountains to hide them,” see, to hide them from the Word that they had laughed at, ’cause they seen Him come.
JBP[360] …’cause they seen Him come. “Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb.” He is the Word. See? They had laughed at the Word. And here the Word was, incarnate. And they had made fun of It; laughed at them, made fun of them. And the incarnate Word had dropped forth!
361 Why didn’t they repent? They couldn’t. It was too far, then. So, they knowed that, the punishment. They hear It. They had sat in meetings like this and knowed about It. And they knowed that the things of those prophets, had predicted, was looking them right in the face, the thing that they had rejected. They had spurned mercy for the last time.
362 And when you spurn mercy, there is nothing left but judgment. When you spurn mercy; just think of it.
JBP363 And there they was. They had no place to go, no retreat. And the Bible said here, “They called for the…Cried to the rocks and the mountains, to, ‘Fall on us, and hide us from the—from the face of the…and the wrath of the Lamb.’” They tried to repent, but the Lamb had come to claim His Own, see. And they cried to the rocks and the mountain. Prayed, but the prayers were too late.
JBPThat speaks to us of the Two Olive Trees.
In the red book he had written there at the bottom, on page 369: [WSS] «Elijah and Moses, he who receives His Message receives mercy».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*JBP[“WATER OF ETERNAL LIFE FOR ALL WHO THIRST”]
[WSS] What prevented the people from seeing God in the most holy place? The veil, the veil of badger skins, of a simple little animal ([JBP] I’m repeating that paragraph); those skins prevented the people from seeing God in the most holy place. And only the high priest, once a year, could enter the most holy place with the blood of the sacrifice of atonement. And if the high priest entered without that blood, he would see God, but he would die, but if he went in with blood, he would see God but not die.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*321 And His ministry comes, from them reformations, back to the original Word again. The Word comes to a prophet. And He promised it, in Malachi 4, “And to restore the Faith of the people back to the original grain.” What went in the ground is here the same. The grain is come up through here. It come up as Son of God, now It reveals Itself here as Son of man, and then It reveals Itself as Son of David on the Throne.
JBPBecause it’s one of the Two Olive Trees, a dispensational ministry.
[321] See, them three Sons, just exactly. Oh, my, again like the original!
JBPAnd on the left, going upwards, he writes:
[WSS] «Son of Man, Son of David».
322 Now to the perfect ministry of Himself; not some man, not some denomination, as they’ve worked down through that age there, see; but Himself made manifest, manifests Himself to the promise, making Saint Luke 17:28, Malachi 4, and so forth, Hebrews 13:8, just exactly right. At that time, what time should it be? When the royal Seed of Abraham is looking for the promised Son. And all types must be fulfilled. And God Himself appeared in the form of a human being, to Abraham’s natural seed…
JBP[322] And God Himself appeared in the form of a human being, to Abraham’s natural seed, before the destruction, and Jesus said it would be the same thing to this royal Seed before the promised Son returns.
323 Notice the old veil that hid the Glory. The old badger skins, there was no beauty to be desired of it; neither was His flesh. That’s the reason people said, “A little old stooped over Fellow like that?” ([JBP] He writes on the left there): [WSS] «The promised Son». Probably thirty years old, and gray, and His beard gray, wasn’t much to look at. The Bible said, “There’s no beauty we should desire Him.” He didn’t look like a King, the old badger skin, but, oh, what was on the inside!
324 And a little bunch of “holy-rollers” sitting together in a hot building like this, they call them, not much beauty to be desired, but what’s on the inside! I’m sure it’s veiled from many hearts, you see. You see? All right.
325 Outwardly It was nothing, but all was on the inside. Once inside of It, then you see It. How do you get into It; shaking hands, joining? No. Born into It. Dying, getting rid of your old badger skin, see, your old self, to get into a new one. See? Forsake the old badger skin.
JBPAnd look, I wrote this down, I wrote it…, while I was studying, what brother Branham said there about that veil, that old veil; but it is... as we say: it’s too... or, I think it’s not even... we can’t say “too clear,” because it is far too clear. But notice, look, now that I see this little piece of paper stuck here (pegao!18 That’s how one speaks over there; “pegado”), pegado.
When we were studying, and he would say to me: [WSS] “Read here.” Miguel was in those many times, and… but in Puerto Rico especially, when we were studying the study that was made for him, he would say: [WSS] “Start reading it to me”; and I would start reading the study, or the Quotations of brother Branham, and I would keep reading while he was studying; and I would continue reading and he would be studying. And he would put a little piece of paper on the pages, where there was a Scripture or something, and I would say: “Why does he put so much paper? (!).”
For example, in this one (there are about four Bibles, but I bring this one; I leave the others there)..., and see, he puts a lot of little of little papers, in some quotes. In some of them he writes - he has written; but most of them, for example, in this Bible, are blank. The ones in the other Bibles that he used the most, they are… almost all of them have writings; but in this one…; and I saw him sticking and sticking. And I thought: “So much paper!” [WSS] “Just wait, you’re going to use them at some point.” At that moment I didn’t understand what he was telling me; I thought: “Well, at some point I’m going to use them, well, when I paste the papers in my Bible I’m going to use them.”
But look, I have been using; sometimes I have nowhere to write and the little paper appears, and I just smile: “Oh, brother William, how you had said that to me…,” and the little paper is exactly where there was a Scripture and I had to write some quote that went with that Scripture.
How that man just left everything prepared! They say that a cautious man is worth two: the two ministries of Moses and Elijah. So, notice…
Now look, on the back, in this same message, he says:
[325] Forsake the old badger skin.
JBPAnd on the back, he writes: [WSS] «Forsake the old veil to get into a new one».
These are big words; meaning, this is a great revelation:
[WSS] «Forsake the old veil to get into a new one».
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*111819 – “[281] When the Word was in Moses, he was God in flesh. When It was in Jesus, It was 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.”
JBP1118 – “[281] 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 It’s still the same God! (...)
[284] Joseph was the Word in his days, portraying Christ exactly.
JBP1118 – “[284] 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*Dr. Jose B. Perez*109421 – “[30] And they—they couldn’t explain It, but they believed It. See?
31 And Jesus said that to weed down His crowd, see, till He could get the group together. And out of all those people, they, only eleven of them then understood actually Who He was. They knowed that He was God, (...).
32 My subject this morning is to reveal, or, unveil that God.
33 God has always, in every age, has hid behind a veil, all ages, but He’s been God all the time. See? But He’s kept Hisself hid from the world, and reveals Hisself to His Elected, like the apostles at that day.”
[WSS] «God has always hidden Himself behind a veil» one of the writings there.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Now, we enter the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, because we have entered with the Blood of Jesus Christ, who redeemed us from all sin; and we are high priests, priests after the Order of Melchisedec.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[167] O God, take me back to the Shekinah Glory.
JBP165 Let the storms rage; my anchor holds within the veil. Can’t tell you why we have a lot of storms on the seas in this day, but I’m thankful for an anchor that holds stedfast within the veil. When she is rocking, and look like every move would send her to the bottom, yet, my anchor is in the veil. . I’ve anchored in the veil.
JBPJBP[167] O God, take me back to the Shekinah Glory. Take me in the veil with You. I am satisfied with Jesus.
Lord, let me lose myself, and find it in You.
168 Get into the inner veil, where all these howls of the world…
JBPBecause he writes: [WSS] «Most Holy Place», and there: [WSS] «veil».
JBP179 “Oh,” I thought, “God! O God! He… How ever…? There’s something wrong! Don’t let that happen, God. Those people that were struggling so hard to try to get to the Kingdom of God!”
180 And they flock by the hundreds, to listen to such tommyrot. You know why? They’ve never been inside the veil. That’s one sure thing. If they ever been in there, they would know different from that. “My sheep know My Voice. A stranger they will not follow.” Yes, sir.
JBP[WSS] «Hunger to hear».
And he also writes on the left, going upwards:
[WSS] «Inter-veil. Goes into the Church in the Age of the Cornerstone, which is the Most Holy Place».
[180] You might go all kinds of emotions, and carry on every way, and call it in the name of religion. The heathens do the same thing.
181 But give me a consecrated life that’s dead, and rose again in Christ Jesus, who lives in the Shekinah Glory [WSS] «on the Father’s Throne», with the love of God around them, that’s the person I’ll believe is going to be there.
JBPWhere is the Shekinah Glory? It is in that Throne as Son of David; because He is no longer making intercession in Heaven. Where the Love of God is (God is Love) that’s in the Throne which is in the midst of the Church; therefore, it is the stage of Divine Love, the Age of the Cornerstone, where the Great Victory in Divine Love will be obtained.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Now you see, the veil that was at the entrance of the most holy place, see, was what prevented the people from seeing God in the most holy place.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*111323 – “221 The Gentile church has also been blinded from the veil, after it’s been tore off and showed God, the ecclesiastical veil. How? By veiling the Word in human being again. That’s exactly what Israel failed to see. If it would have been some Angel or something, Israel would have believed It. But being it could not be an Angel, it had to be a man. Amen!
God can’t break His Word. In the last days it has to be the same thing again.”
JBP1113 – “[221] See? What blinded Israel? That Man. ‘You’re a Man making Yourself God.’ That’s what they killed Him for, and, today, because the Message come through man and not Angels. See? God can’t change His way, change His Word. He said He changed not. See? Notice, promised! And the Gentiles are just as blinded today as Israel was, because (what?) the veil. God veiled in a human being, blinded Israel.
Notice, has ever blinded one. One, It will blind; the other, It will reveal the Truth. It’ll close the eyes of some, and open the eyes of the other.”
JBPAnd he writes: [WSS] «By the veil: it’ll blind some and open the eyes of others».
And above he also writes:
[WSS] «It’ll blind one and open the eyes of others».
And there he also writes: [WSS] «The Coming of Christ».
There where he says, in the first sentence: “The gentile church has also been blinded from the veil,” and above that he writes: [WSS] «The man - the flesh».
And there are some writings, but we had already read this one.24
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] And when the Shekinah, the Pillar of Fire, the Logos, became flesh, what prevented people from seeing God, from seeing the fulfillment of the Messianic promise, was that veil of flesh where the Pillar of Fire was. They expected that veil of flesh to be something splendid, because they expected a King, but they did not understand that the King was the One inside; that was the King of Israel, which is God, the Pillar of Fire.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*112 Could it be possible that the Gentiles has did the same thing?
JBPOn the left he draws a Star of David.
[112] O God! When they’ve had the church ages, of the Son of God; but when now the veil of this denominations and things, this veil of tradition that we’ve got since Pentecost, when the church traditions has been rent, the things that the people said, “Days of miracles is past, and these things,” and God has took the veil off of It, and brought It in plain view, and they’re ready to crucify It again, just exactly like.
JBPJBP101 He is veiled in a man, as He always was veiled. But, He was veiled unto them, He was in His human temple.
JBP[101] God was in a human temple. Now, be real careful, now He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. See? God veiled, hiding Himself from the world, veiled in human being. See? Here was God! Those Greeks saying, “We would see Him.”
102 And Jesus said, “A corn of wheat has to fall and die.” You have to die to all your ideas. You have to get out of your own thoughts.
Like those disciples was, they couldn’t explain about eating His body and—and drinking His Blood, but, see, they had done died to those things. They were dead to a Principle, they were dead to Christ. No matter what it is, or how much defeat looked like He had, they still believed It anyhow ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David on the left). See? They could see in that Man; a Man that eat, drank, fished, slept, everything else, was born here on the earth, and walked with them, talked with them, wore clothes like the rest of them, but that was God.
JBP103 So the Greeks couldn’t see Him, because He was hid from them, in a human being. Notice His Word to them, “Except this corn of wheat falls in the ground.”
104 God veiled in the form of a man, hid Himself from their view. They could only see a man. But those Predestinated seen God.
JBP[104] But those Predestinated seen God. One saw a man, the other one saw God.
JBP[104] See? And it was God veiled in a human being, making both of them right, but your faith in that what you don’t see. You believe it, anyhow. God veiled in a human being. He was in that flesh, and that flesh was His veil. The veil was rent, see, that God might be made manifest.
105 In the Old Testament, God was hid when He was on His mercy seat; on the mercy seat, by a veil. In the Old Testament, God was in His temple. But the people come in and worship like this, but, remember, there was a veil (amen) that hid God. They knowed God was there. They couldn’t see Him. That Pillar of Fire never appeared anymore there. Did you notice? There’s not one time in the Scripture, from the time that Pillar of Fire went in behind that veil, that It ever showed again, till It come from Jesus Christ. God was veiled!
JBP[WSS] «The Throne of Mercy through a veil».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*I don’t have the unedited book of “THE AGES” here, I don’t know if… I didn’t see it here. Julian, if you can pass me a book here, please (look), it can be the one with the spring (look, there is another one here too, everyone has it). I, I just didn’t bring it; because if I bring all the books… It’s always good to have unedited “AGES,” The Seals, Ages, Quotations, at least those (pass it over to me here)... (Look, we are among family).
The place where it says…, let’s look for it among all of us, in the part where it says, I think it is “REVELATION, CHAPTER FOUR #2,” I think it is, where he talks about the new Mercy Seat. Here it’s 562. Let’s see if this is it: 562, yes. It says [“THE AGES” unedited]26 [PAGE 562]:
228 As we seen them, now, that was God’s Throne in Heaven, Moses patterned It on earth, was God’s Throne because His judgment seat was represented here on earth in the Holy of holy. God… All Israel come to that one place to find mercy, ’cause God only met under the shed blood.
229 Now, listen close. Then the Shekinah Glory raised from that mercy seat one day, and It settled on another Tabernacle (Amen!), this One, “The Father judges no man but He’s committed all judgment to the Son.” God’s Judgment Seat. Whew! “You speak against Me, it’ll be forgiven you,” speak another—another One coming, another Mercy Seat.
JBP229 “Speak… you speak against the Son of man, I will forgive you; but someday the Holy Spirit will come to dwell in the hearts of the people, one word against It will never be forgiven.”
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*105 In the Old Testament, God was hid when He was on His mercy seat; on the mercy seat, by a veil. In the Old Testament, God was in His temple. But the people come in and worship like this, but, remember, there was a veil (amen) that hid God. They knowed God was there. They couldn’t see Him. That Pillar of Fire never appeared anymore there. Did you notice? There’s not one time in the Scripture, from the time that Pillar of Fire went in behind that veil, that It ever showed again, till It come from Jesus Christ. God was veiled!
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] And they had not realized that that veil of flesh had been created by that same Pillar of Fire, by God, and that it was the appointed veil where God would manifest Himself, Emmanuel, which being interpreted is: God with us27.
Now, they thought that when God promises something great, it must seem great to human sight, but that’s not the case; for when God promises something great, it is something simple to human sight; because God manifests Himself in simplicity.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*431 Remember, friend, don’t look for great, big…You say, “God, He speaks of great, big things. There will come a time there’ll be this, that, or the other, great big things.” I hope you’re catching what I’m talking about. See? “Great, big things, see! And, oh, when this comes to pass, it’ll be great, big like this.”
432 And it’ll be so humble, you’ll miss the whole thing, just go right on. See? And you’ll look back and say, “Well, that never did come to…”
JBP[432] See, passed right over the top, and you never even seen It. Just went by. See, it’s so simple. See? God lives in simplicity, see, to manifest Hisself in greatness. What makes Him great? Because He can simplify Himself.
433 A big, great man can’t simplify himself; he has got to be a dignitary. See? But he ain’t big enough yet. When he comes big enough, then he comes down like this, you see, can humble himself.
434 As the old saint said up there in Chicago, “That fellow went up, with all the education and things.” Said, “He come down, whipped out, head hanging down. Walking out, defeated.” He said, “If he would a went up the way he come down, he’d have come down the way he went up.” Well, that’s right. See?
435 Humble yourself. Just be humble. Don’t try to be peculiar. Just—just love Jesus. See? Say, “Lord, if there is any guile in my heart, if there’s anything wrong…”
JBPAnd look at how he can find mercy: he comes humbled before God.
[435] Say, “Lord, if there is any guile in my heart, if there’s anything wrong, Father, I don’t want to be like that. You take it away. I don’t want to be like that. Oh, I want to be numbered as one of them, in that Day, Lord. And I see the Day approaching.”
JBPAnd look, he writes here on the side, in the writings:
[WSS] «He will be so humble that they will miss him».
And above that he writes:
[WSS] «A construction worker: His veil».
JBPAnd in a message, he spoke to us and said: [WSS] “And what if He fulfills His Coming in a construction worker, would you receive Him?”28 See…
Because the greater that God said that He would fulfill and carry out that Program which He would be carrying out in His Claiming Work at the end of time, the greater it is in terms of its fulfillment: the simpler it would be.
And the vindication will be… Do you know when the total vindication will be? When you are transformed and so am I; then the world will realize that behind that veil was the Pillar of Fire in the midst of the people, bringing what He promised His Church.
And He had said, He had promised His Church: “I will be with you until the end of the world29. He has not forsaken us. He has not taken the Holy Spirit away from His Church; instead He incarnated the Holy Spirit!: [WMB] “When this Holy Spirit that we have…”30. (throughout the ages); notice, He would be incarnate at the end of time, that is when that people, that little flock, would recognize Him as their King, as King of Kings and Lord of lords, carrying out the Claiming Work!
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] He veils and reveals Himself in simplicity. And when God promises something greater, then He does it in an even simpler form. Therefore, the veil has always been the cause of people’s stumbling; they always stumble over the veil of flesh.
JBPIf you find the place where brother William…, and I think that was in Veracruz. If I remember correctly I was recording that message, that tour; it was quite hot there. I think it was in Pepe Nolasco’s congregation. Check if it was in that one, where he said: [WSS] “What if God fulfills His Coming…?” if you find it…, but I believe it was in that one, so that we can include it there exactly as he said it. (Yes).
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*BREAKING BARRIERS (Part III) Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, November 30, 1996 Cristianópolis, Goiás, Brazil
Now, the Hebrew people are waiting for the Coming of Christ, and Christianity is waiting for the Coming of Christ.
Won’t the same thing that happened to the Hebrew people happen to Christianity, at the Last Day? What if God fulfills that promise like He fulfilled the First Coming of Christ: in a construction worker? Would Christianity receive it or reject it?
The Hebrew people rejected the fulfillment of the First Coming of Christ in a construction worker, in a carpenter; they could not believe that He was the Messiah, they could not believe He this was the fulfillment of the messianic promises.
Christianity thinks or says that they were unbelievers for rejecting Jesus, the carpenter from Nazareth, as the Messiah.
And what if God does the same thing among the gentiles, and then gives the opportunity to the Hebrew people? The Hebrew people will then say the same thing that Christianity says about the Hebrews, they say that they were unbelievers for not believing in that carpenter from Nazareth named Jesus, when Jesus was the promised Messiah.
If God fulfills the promises of the Last Day in the same way, through a simple and humble veil of flesh, it will have a great impact on this Earth; because no one has thought of the possibility that God fulfills the promise of the Coming of Christ in a construction worker again.
JBPNow notice where He makes this change from Lamb to Lion. If we have to change the coat of arms later on and put a Lion in it, well, we will change it; because it is our Kingdom. Therefore, if it’s in God’s plans to put a Lion there, well, we will put a lion: the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[137] … I told him this little story, which come to my mind just now. That, one night it come up a storm, and mother said to Junior, said, “Now, you go on upstairs, son, and go to bed.”
Said, “Mama, I’m scared,” he said.
“Ain’t nothing going to hurt you. Go on up and go to bed.”
138 Little Junior laid up there, and the lightning flashing around the windows. And the little fellow got so nervous, he’d stick his head under the cover, and he could still hear the—the lightning, or see the lightning flash on the windows, and—and hear the thunder roar. So he said, “Mama!”
And she said, “What do you want, Junior?”
Said, “Come up here and sleep with me.”
139 So she come up the steps, like any good, loyal mother would. And she came up, and she took little Junior in her arms. And she said, “Junior, mother wishes to speak to you just a moment.”
Said, “All right, mama.”
140 Said, “Now you must bear this in mind. We go to church, constantly.
JBP140 Said, “Now you must bear this in mind. We go to church, constantly. We read the Bible. We pray. We are a Christian family. We believe in God.” And said, “We believe that, in storms and whatever goes on, God is our protection.”
141 He said, “Mama, I believe every bit of that. But,” said, “when that lightning is so close,” he said, “I—I want a God with skin on It.”
JBPIn storms, in problems, in situations: Don’t be afraid. We have a God of skin. Glory to God!
And he says… He wrote there: [WSS] «I want a God with flesh on It». And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
JBP142 So, I—I think, not only Junior, but all of us feel that way. When we get together, when we pray one for the other, God with skin on It.
143 And we find out here that God has always had skin on Him. When Moses seen Him, He had skin on Him ([JBP] he writes there): [WSS] «Theophany», look like a Man. When God was behind the curtains, He had skin on Him. And God, tonight, in His Church, is veiled in His Church with skin on It. He is still the same God, tonight. We find that.
JBP144 But now, as ever, the skin veil is what catches the traditions. They just can’t believe that that is God making them people act like that. See? It’s because God is veiled in His Church, in skin, skin on It. That’s right. He is hid from the unbeliever, and revealed34 to the believer.
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Look, the Scripture says that they stumbled over the Cornerstone: “The stone that the builders rejected has become a stumbling Stone and a Rock of offense”35. To whom? To those who stumble over the Word, to those who are unbelievers of the Word and stumble over that Word manifested in human flesh. The same Word that they expect to be fulfilled, when It is fulfilled, they stumble over the veil of flesh in which that Word is fulfilled.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*15636 - “[590] The veil is the flesh. The veil is what keeps us from seeing God, face to face, in this church. The veil is what keeps us from seeing the Angels at their positions this morning, standing by the seats. The veil is what keeps us from seeing Him.”
JBP[WSS] «The veil = keeps us from seeing the other dimension».
JBPTo the elect, the veil is not an obstacle.
If He would give us the opportunity to, for just a moment, be able to look beyond the curtain of time…; as brother Brahnam said that the Angel told him: [WMB] “Would you like to see beyond?”, and he said, [WMB] “Yes, it would do me a lot of good,” brother Branham says: [WMB] “It would do me a lot of good,” he was going through a hard time: [WMB] “It would do me a lot of good.”37 He had lost his wife, his little girl. And look at the comfort that God gave him, which is a comfort to us, because we know what’s beyond the curtain of time.
But if He were to tell us: “Would you like to see a little beyond?” I would tell you: You have been seeing beyond the curtain of time for a while now; because what God was showing in the midst of the Hebrew people, in the tabernacle that Moses made and the temple of Solomon, is a reality already!
And everything that is manifested in the seventh dimension, when it is a reality and the fulfillment of what is there, then it is among the common people; and then, automatically we can already see beyond the curtain of time.
Even, if we wish and it is necessary to see what brother Branham saw in the sixth dimension already, that is between God and the person. And notice, if it happened to brother Branham, it can happen to one of you too.
He visited them from time to time. He says: [WSS] «At the age of 50…». It is in a writing; we would have to look for the writing to see which paragraph it is: [WSS] «He would visit them…».
Let’s see: 131, paragraph 1165. (I have such quick students that [he simulates fast typing]: “clack-clack-clack-clack!,” quickly there) [Quotations]:
116538 – “162 And I was thinking, tonight, ‘two hands, out of the hundreds, that’s left,’ when we used to sing that song around the tabernacle, and join one another’s hand. Blest Be The Tie That Binds. I’ve buried a lot of them, right up here in the cemetery. They’re waiting. I’ll see them again. I see them, once in a while, in a vision, when I look beyond the veil. They’re there.”
JBPAnd there he writes:
[WSS] «Brother Branham would see them once in a while in Paradise». «They’re waiting in the 6th dimension».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] «The 6th dimension and the 7th dimension».
JBPJBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Now, the Lord Jesus Christ knew who He was…
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*274 When He met Legion, with two thousand devils in him, it wasn’t Jesus crying. It was the devils crying, “If You’re going to cast us out,” oh, my, “suffer us to go in that herd of swine.”
275 Jesus never said, “Now, Father, am I able to do this?” He said, “Come out of him,” and the devils took their flight. Sure, He knowed He was the Messiah.
JBP[WSS] «Jesus knew who He was:
The Messiah = the Anointed One.
Jesus spoke and it happened».
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*2141 - “[50] God…before there was ever you knowed anything.
51 There was a time that you knew, your—your mind is darkened to that now. There’s only been one Man on earth that knew that He was before, and that was Jesus. He said, ‘Glorify Me, Father, with the glory that I had with You before the foundation of the world.’ He was the incarnate God, He could move back there and know what it was. But our minds are blackened there.
52 But we were ordained, predestinated.”
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*58342 – “[469] Satan knowed It by knowledge.
470 Jesus knowed It by experience. He knowed It by revelation. He knowed that He was that Son of God that was to come into the world. He knowed His standing. He knowed He was born in this world for that purpose. And that’s the reason the Word of God could work through Him, because He knowed what He was.”
JBPBecause He knew who He was: He was the fulfillment of what the prophets had said the Messiah would be.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] Now, the Lord Jesus Christ knew who He was; and that is why, although very few people believed in Him, He continued on, carrying out the relevant Work for that time. Because He could not stop, and say: “Well, if you don’t believe Me, I won’t do anything,” no; He had to continue moving forward. He believed that Word, He believed what was written about Him; even if others didn’t believe in Him, didn’t believe that that Word was being fulfilled in Him, He did believe it…
[JBP] In other words, in His First Coming Jesus did believe it. And notice, I also believe what God is fulfilling at this time.
Just because some don’t believe… Like Jesus: just because some didn’t believe in Him, that didn’t mean He wasn’t going to carry out the Work that God entrusted to Him; He continued moving forward.
[WSS] … even if others didn’t believe in Him, didn’t believe that that Word was being fulfilled in Him, He did believe it, even though it was contrary to the way of thinking of the religious world of that time.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*255 “What must I do, Lord? Okay, what am I going to do here at the Red Sea?”
256 “Didn’t I tell you that I give you a mountain for a sign out here? You are coming back to that mountain, and you’re going to take these children to the land. Didn’t I call you for that purpose? What are you worried about anything else stand in the way? Speak, and start moving!” Amen and amen! “Yeah, I called you for this purpose.”
JBPAnd he writes: [WSS] «Speak».
257 David, he knew he was anointed, and was a vindicated to be a good shot. He knowed that they knowed he was a good shot. David was anointed. He know it. And when he stood before Goliath, he never cried, “O God, what must I do now? Wait, must I—I… I know what You did in the times past. You, You let me kill a bear, and You let me kill a lion. But what about this Goliath out here?” Huh! He never did that. He just spoke. What did he say? “You will be like they were…?…” He spoke and went forward.
JBP258 He never prayed a prayer. He never offered nothing. He knowed he was anointed. Amen. He was anointed, and that slingshot had proved the right kind of a thing. He had faith in his anointing.
JBP[258] He had faith that God could direct that rock right straight in the middle of that helmet there, where the only place could be hit. He was standing there.
259 He knowed he was a good shot. Amen. He knowed God made him that. Amen. He knowed he had killed a lion, he knowed he had killed a bear, but that was with his earthly father’s possession. Here is his Heavenly Father’s possession!
JBPJBP[258] He was standing there.
259 He knowed he was a good shot. Amen. He knowed God made him that. Amen. He knowed he had killed a lion, he knowed he had killed a bear, but that was with his earthly father’s possession. Here is his Heavenly Father’s possession!
JBP[259] Amen. He didn’t get down, “Must…What must I do now, Lord?”
JBPMiguel is the one who talks about how if you pet it from front to back…, if you comb a lion from front to back [he motions running a comb through from front to back –Ed]; but if you comb it forwards, with that big mane [he furrows his brows as if he’s upset –Ed]. In other words, it’s best to comb it from front to back [he motions petting smoothly with his hand –Ed] and be its friend.
Now he says:
[259] He didn’t get down, “Must…What must I do now, Lord?” He spoke ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «he spoke» and said, “You will be like the lion and the bear, and here I come.” Amen! Glory to God! Yes, sir. He spoke and went forward to meet this Goliath.
JBP[259] Oh, my!
260 Regardless of his size! He was a little, ruddy-looking fellow, you know. He wasn’t very big. He wasn’t very handsome to look at, little bitty drawed-up sort of a fellow. The Bible said he was ruddy. Now, regardless of his size and his so-called ability to do so.
JBP*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[WSS] But the important thing is that the one ([JBP] meaning, the instrument) in whom the Word is fulfilled, believes that It is being fulfilled, understands It ([JBP] I believe It and understand It), knows that God is fulfilling what He promised, and keeps moving forward and carries out the Work that he must carry out.
[JBP] And likewise, the people as well: the people have believed and have understood that Claiming Work.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*95645 – “91 God is uniting His Bride. She is coming together, from the East and the West, and the North and South. There is a uniting time, and that’s on right now. What is She uniting for? The Rapture.”
JBP956 – “[91] The Rapture. Amen! God’s getting Her ready. Yes sir, uniting! What is She uniting with? With the Word!”
JBP“MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED.”
That has been the subject of this occasion, and it is the subject that we will be seeing in this message preached by Dr. William Soto Santiago: “MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED.”
Ministers and brethren too, the ministerial body and Mystical Body of believers, doing (what?) the will of God until we obtain the promise; and we will obtain it. He has promised it, and He is faithful to fulfill it.
Let’s stand, and leave it at that… I don’t know if you have any song here to praise God and thus prepare ourselves to receive the message for this occasion.
There… when we used to sing here and… we had many moments where… Where was it that we recorded? Was it back here? But first… in both places; and he would send for us. Yes, right? Or he’d be up there and: [WSS] “Where’s Benjie?” I was with Bone and with Carlos, sometimes I would stay with Bone, and with… who was the saxophone player? Victor.
And sometimes… we would arrive, and since it was so fast, because we didn’t have time; that night, sometimes we recorded the songs of a whole CD: 4 hymn-, 4 songs, up to 7, 8, in one night; to leave by morning already. I think CD’s 1 or 2, and 3 or so, or 1 and 2, we recorded them like that in passing, right then, that same night we recorded them. And we spent really beautiful moments here, where I met this people that is so kind, so loving, which is the Mexican people.
And it is not like he just took me to one little place, we have been traveling to most corners of the world. And he is part of the Family, that is to say, he is not a stranger.
It is not for nothing that many have said the same thing they said back in the time of Jesus: “But isn’t this the son of Humberto and Nidia? We know his siblings, we know the family, the wife, the daughters; he is going to come now and say that he is the Messiah?” Well, what do you want me to tell you?
You see how it’s the same…? The same thing happens, like what happened in His First Coming.
But the wise would understand, those who love His Coming, those who are and were waiting for Him, it has been revealed to them. And they have received it, they have believed it. And we are going to make it. There is no doubt about it: we will reach the goal of our transformation and there will be no more problems, funerals, sadness, illness, work situations; everything will be over. And it will be perfect, not for a second, but for eternity.
So, what awaits us is something so great that it is worthwhile to keep fighting, persevering, until we obtain the promise.
Now… Let’s sing, because if we continue, you’d have to… Which one?
Carlos Torres: *Well, Bone says that the first one he recorded with you was “The Formula of Love,” which was of the first songs.*That’s the first one that I recorded here? Here?
Carlos: *Bone says yes, that it was sung here.*That’s the first one that we recorded? That song is the one from Colombia?
Carlos: *The one from Colombia, yes.*Well, then I was the one who brought it back recorded, I think it was on tape. Well, I recorded it in Colombia; the sister who sang it, I told her: “Sing it again so I can record it”, and I recorded it and I brought it here to Bone, we prepared it then, and… Ah, well, that was the first one we sang here, that we recorded.
Let’s sing that one then; that same one:
Carlos: *Ruth Gabriela, please…*Later we will have to sing it in Colombia too, there with the sister who wrote it. So we already have one pending there, to sing it in Colombia as well.
Carlos: *Amen. Let’s all sing:* *“The Formula of Love”*THE FORMULA OF LOVE
If your goal is to reach the transformation,
divine love will reign in your heart.
Ask the Lord to reveal to you
that great Formula of Love.
God is pure Divine Love,
that is why He has sent
His Anointed One at this time,
in the Age of Love Divine.
He expresses to us through that Formula of Love,
and we receive it by predestination.
Theophany: come closer to me,
help me to continue preparing myself.
God is pure Divine Love,
that is why He has sent
His Anointed One at this time,
who brings us that Formula of Love.
Interlude
[JBP] Continue speaking to us, Lord! Continue giving us that formula, until we reach perfection!
That formula is: faith, patience, virtue,
knowledge, brotherly love, temperance and godliness.
Theophany: come closer and closer,
help me reach my goal.
God is pure Divine Love,
that is why He has sent
His Anointed One at this time,
giving us the faith for the adoption.
God is pure Divine Love,
that is why He has sent
Jose at this time,
in the Age of Love Divine.
//He brings us that Formula of Love.//
JBPAnd if we add the ministry of Jesus in… as one of the ministries of Moses, well, it would be, Moses: 3; because then we count the one of Jesus.
Elijah: 5 and Jesus: 2.
Now there is a formula there, in which the Name has something to do with it. Because the stick of Judah, along with the stick of Joseph in the hand of Ephraim, are the 12 tribes, which have to be in the hand of the prophet; and everything must bring, and carry out that Work under the Name relevant to that work.
That is…, let’s see something here… Yes, that’s the one. There is a message that he titled “THE FORMULA OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST,”47 but…, if we get into that, well, we would have to talk about the 12 tribes, and we would have to put 12 patriarchs, the 12 apostles; and I think it was on Friday, or one of these days, that he talked about the number 12. So, everything has to add up.
But that mystery, notice, is being opened; and that part will soon be made known, which only the instrument knows. Because notice, when he said he went in there, and the Angel said to him: [WMB] “Do you remember the name you were looking for that time when you dreamed about it?”48... And brother William told us so clearly!: [WSS] “If the instrument is alive… in a doctor’s office, and the doctor is there, well, what name is going to go there? Well, the name of that doctor!”49
If the doctor moves out, goes somewhere else, and another doctor comes in, he won’t leave the name of the doctor who left!
So that’s the ministry in which he saw and he said: [WSS] «The ministry of the Lord in His 2nd Coming»50; that’s what was taking place there.
I think we can sing that hymn one more time. It left us with something like… smack-smack! [he smacks his lips together as if tasting something; like saying: “we were left wanting more” –Ed.] wanting a little more singing.
And look, in the preparation of what will be carried out, there are always some interlaces; and…
Do you remember when brother Branham would begin to speak?, and he would begin to speak about situations, until he would get into what God by revelation was giving him for the people; which was storing up all that Food, that Manna, that mountain of Bread that we are now eating in the Light of His Coming.
And he would wait for the Holy Spirit to settle and move freely. And that whole matter of stillness: they played the piano, they worshiped…
But there are details there…; notice, there are details that have been spoken, or that are being done, and you can see the imitators doing the same.
But there are things that they cannot imitate, and that is the Holy Spirit, and the ministries that He is operating; therefore, it is not going to work out for them.
Do you know the only thing that is coming out of that mouth? It’s criticism, mockery and all those things. That doesn’t prepare any people.
But where the Spirit of God is, there is freedom, there is knowledge, there is understanding, there is Rapturing Faith; that is what the Holy Spirit is bringing to His Church today.
Because the time will come when the in the mouth of the critics will be shut51.
And God is carrying it all out in love: the formula of love.
But notice, with love, and on the other hand they say He is a Lion. Well, He is a Lion of love to those who receive Him. To those who do not: that Lion’s roar, where they think it’s a Lamb, but it’s the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Let’s sing that one again, “The Formula of Love.”
Once again all the people sing “The Formula of Love” together with Ruth Gabriela and Bone –Ed.In the interludeWhen the song ends“MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED.”
Look…, I am waiting for something…, and at some point it will be taking place, that is why we give that space for the Holy Spirit to move, and He is the One who takes the step, meaning, the Word has been spoken, and He is the One who will take that step.
Therefore, let’s be in that same atmosphere where the presence of God is in the midst of the people and we hope that soon God will fulfill everything relevant to those stages that have to do with the fulfillment of the Claiming Work.
The Third Pull has its phases; we are in the most important one, and it is the revelation of the Seventh Seal. There is nothing greater than that, the greatest miracle.
Today God has given us a great miracle. But other things interlace in that, which we are going to be seeing as His Work advances and He fulfills everything He promised.
Well, let’s leave the message for today: “MINISTERS DOING THE WILL OF GOD UNTIL THE PROMISE IS OBTAINED.”
We leave with us our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.

Well, if you go to someone’s office, and you don’t even know their name, well, you look around the desk, or around somewhere, to see if they have the name there.
•[Chat “The New Name of the Lord in the Third Pull,” 13-1/Sep/2024 (Friday)]: MM 1998-03-25 “The Seventh Seal and the Word of Eternal Life for the Last Day”: [WSS] In the Tent Vision Brother Branham saw that great wonders were being done, and they were not being done by our Brother Branham; the Pillar of Fire was speaking to someone else and was using another person, but then our Brother Branham was allowed to enter. He saw a name there.
And could it be that right then they did - whoever was there had done what we see in offices, when you come into an office? In many offices you find it on the desk, before you ask for the person’s name, you look and the name is there.
