BIBLE STUDY #453 – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2024
Second Activity
Puebla, Mexico
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Good morning, beloved brothers and friends present. Greetings to Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin here, who is with us. It’s a privilege and blessing that God allows me to be able to accompany him here in this activity, and to be together, with our brother Miguel and all of you who are here, having this beautiful fellowship around the Word of God and His Program relevant to this end time. And also to all those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite and the different means of communication, today, Sunday, October 6, of this year 2024.
Let’s read there in Genesis, chapter 22, verse 14; later on our brother William will read that portion of the Scripture to us, starting from verse 14, where it says:
Genesis 22:14
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
GOD PROVIDING AT THE TIME OF THE END Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, January 20, 2013 Cayey, Puerto Rico
Scripture: Genesis 22:1-18
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of “THE AGES,” (the unedited one, the thick one), on page 594, (here in the booklet, it’s 22, in the thick book it’s 594), this version, this translation here, there are a few words that are different, but I am going to read from the booklet. You can follow along there in the book. On page 22 of the booklet, which is 594, Reverend William Branham tells us [“REVELATION, CHAPTER FOUR #3”]:
[61-0108 - “Revelation, Chapter Four #3,” pp. 18-19, paras. 102-108]
102 Don’t forget that word “Eastward”! Where’s Jesus coming from? The east, in a cloud of Glory. Where does the s-u-n rise? East. Where will the S-o-n rise? East. Where was the mercy seat sitting? Towards the east. Why have I got you all sitting this way towards the east? Why? The altar is to the east.
[JBP] He writes there, going upwards: [WSS] «The East: the Mercy Seat».
And there at the bottom… there are two lines, and at the bottom going upwards:
[WSS] «The Sun = it comes out, rises, from the East».
[WSS] «The East: the Mercy Seat.
The Sun = it comes out, rises, from the East».
[102] We’ll see it after while, how beautifully, I’m going to draw it out. I asked as many as I could to bring papers and so forth, to get these maps in a few minutes. All right:
…sprinkle it…eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle…the blood with his finger seven times.
[JBP] I left out there in the first paragraph where we started reading, in: “Don’t forget,” there, in that part there he drew a Cornerstone and the ages, like that, going down there in a little corner.
And here, where it says: “the blood with his finger seven times,” there on the right he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
[Bible Study #236, 9/Sep/2022 (Friday), pp. 37-40 (PARAS. 103-108)]
103 Oh, isn’t that beautiful? “Seven times towards the east.” What is it? The Seven Church Ages shall be covered by the Blood.
[JBP] And there he writes, going upwards: [WSS] «7 times».
And another line further down «7 times»: [WSS] «The 7 ages».
[103] Hallelujah! Jesus Christ’s Blood just as sufficient in it, yesterday, today, and forever, and to every age, to save every sinner, heal every sick person, bring every miracle, every sign to pass. “Seven times,” way back yonder in the Old Testament, fourteen hundred and ninety years before Christ come. Think of it! Symbol, “seven times shall…”
Then shall he kill the goat ([JBP] and on the left he writes): [WSS] «goat»…the sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood with the…in the vail, to do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock ([JBP] and he writes on the left): [WSS] «bullock»,…sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat ([JBP] and there on “the mercy seat” he draws an arrow going outward and he draws a little Cornerstone, which is the Most Holy Place where the Mercy Seat is; and he continues): And he shall make an atonement for the holy place…
[JBP] In the book [in Spanish] it says “the sanctuary”; here it’s… here it says: “And he shall make an atonement for the holy place,” and another arrow going outward there, and he draws the bottom part of the ages.
[103] …because…the…of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their trespasses in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them that is in the midst of—of their uncleanness.
104 What was it? “The mercy seat.” Where are they now? And there inside of the ark was the what? The law. And the law, to trespass one commandment was to die without mercy. But being that you could have mercy, the blood had to lay on the altar. They sprinkle the mercy seat. And the mercy seat is the altar where you kneel and ask for mercy. God forbid that we ever take it from our churches, the old-fashioned altar where men can kneel and call on God for mercy. And mercy is rich, and flowing free from the Blood of the Lord Jesus. Now, also, that’s the mercy. That’s mercy seat.
[Bible Study #429, 14-2/July/2024 (Sunday), pp. 5-6, 11-12 (PARAS. 105-108)]
105 But you notice in here, it was not mercy seat, for there was “lightnings and thunder and voices.” ([JBP] Above that sentence he writes): [WSS] «Throne of Judgment» There’s no lightning and thunders at mercy. That’s judgment.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, let’s see here, in the book of Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 on:
Revelation 8:1
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
[JBP] That silence in Heaven is caused by the opening of that Seventh Seal, which takes place after the Dispensation of Grace has ended.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
[JBP] Here brother Branham says that [WMB] “there’s no lightning and thunders at mercy”; meaning, that is in judgment. Therefore, it’s a Throne of Judgment that is there in Heaven today, because He has already come forth from making Intercession.
That Voice of the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven crying as when a lion roars and seven thunders uttering their voices, saying that time is no more, that is, the time of the Dispensation of Grace, the time of redemption, which he writes there in the Bible: [WSS] «Redemption»*.
*[Revelation 10:1-6] [Bible Study #344, 22/Sep/2023 (Friday), p. 52 / Study "The Coming of the Creator," 3/Feb/2024 (Saturday), p. 12: [WSS] «of redemption».]
And on the left, going upwards, he also writes there: [WSS] «Throne of The Judgment».
[“REVELATION, CHAPTER FOUR #3”]
106 Let’s turn to Exodus, 19 chapter of Exodus and the 16th verse. Exodus, 19 chapter of Exodus, and let’s begin with the 16th verse:
And it came to pass…
Listen what…when God ascended upon Mount Sinai:
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning…
[JBP] And above that he writes: [WSS] «The 3rd disp. in the morning and its Sun».
And above that he writes: [WSS] «[and 7th millennium]».
[106] And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders…lightning, and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and the voice of a trumpet exceedingly loud ([JBP] on the right side, he also writes there): [WSS] «4th watch»; (What is the voice of the trumpet? Is the archangel.) so that all the people…(Listen!)…all the people…was in the camp trembled.
[JBP] Above that, that sentence “voice of the trumpet? Is the archangel,” here he writes:
[WSS] «The Trumpet = the Voice of the Archangel = Judgment».
He goes on to say:
107 “Judgment!” Whew! They had marched out there and God had given them grace to travel by, but they had demanded a law. They…God wanted them to be interdenomination; they wanted to make a denomination out of it, something they could argue about, instead of just following God and living under His jurisdiction, under His power. Grace had provided a prophet, grace had provided an atonement (a lamb), grace had provided all these things, and yet they wanted judgment. They wanted something they could do.
108 God said, “Assemble them together, I’ll let them know what it is. I’ll show them what it is.” Read! Listen! And the voice of the trumpet got louder and louder until it shook the earth. You see what judgment is. I don’t want that ([JBP] neither do we). Give me mercy!
[JBP] There on the left he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And look, and there, going upwards, the Scripture of: [WSS] «Hebrews 12:18-29».
And on the right, going upwards, he writes:
[WSS] «The Voice of the Trumpet =
([JBP] and a… another row below that) shook the Earth».
[WSS] «The Voice of the Trumpet = shook the Earth».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,” our brother William told us in this message which was preached April 30, 2011 in Monterrey, Mexico, he says:
THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Saturday, April 30, 2011
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Therefore, the Voice of Christ will call His Church to go up to a higher age: the Age of the Cornerstone; and it is the same Voice that will bring us up, will call us to go up [to] in the Supper, in the rapture, for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb…
[JBP] See? It is the same Voice that told John: “Come up hither,” [Revelation 4:1] he says that It is the same Voice that will take us up to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
[WSS] … it is the same Voice, that Great Voice of Trumpet, the Voice of Christ speaking to us with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom in the Last Day.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] There is a drawing he made in a Bible study; I don’t know if you can project it there. In this Bible study, in the Scripture of Revelation 3, from 20 to 22, he drew us something next to it there, in this Scripture, which says:
Revelation 3:20
20 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.
[JBP] Now look, the drawing that he makes there, of the Cornerstone and the ages; and he draws on each of the lines, as if it were a door, and at the top (did he get it?)… and at the top in the Cornerstone, another door; and he draws like a mark in the middle of that door, and above he draws a Cornerstone in red; you will see it there.
Now notice that the Blood was…, in what we read… (no, that’s not it, that one - it’s not that one; it’s a drawing). The Blood was on the Mercy Seat, in the Most Holy Place.
[The drawing is projected on the screen –Ed.].
Now… later we will show it with better quality.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, it continues to say [“THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”]:
[WSS] No one could go up from one age to another, except those who heard the Voice of Christ calling them higher up ([JBP] See? In each age, through the messenger), in each age, calling them higher and higher up through the messenger of that age, of the relevant age.
[JBP] God was providing for Himself, notice, His messenger in each age; and that Voice calling us to a new age.
[WSS] That is how it will be for this time. No one will be able to go up to the Age of Cornerstone if not by hearing the Voice of Christ in the Age of Cornerstone, calling them to go up to that age; the Crowning Age, the Age of Divine Love, the age where the Tent Vision is going to become a reality.
It did not become a reality in the seventh age nor in the previous ages either; even in the gap between the seventh age and the Age of Cornerstone it didn’t become a reality either; although Reverend William Branham wanted to make it a reality, because he was shown that Vision. But an important detail is that when he saw that Vision, he had not built that Tent; it was a place, therefore, of another people, of another messenger, and it was in another place.
[JBP] What we said this morning*, that there would be a people and a messenger, where He would have in Her midst, in the midst of the people, that Great Tent Cathedral and that instrument.
*[Chat “The Mighty Angel giving us the Rapturing Faith,” 6-1/Oct/2024 (Sunday)]
He goes on to say:
[WSS] The ministry has to be there that is relevant to the time in which that Vision must be fulfilled.
[JBP] In other words, it wasn’t in the ages, it wasn’t in Reverend William Branham’s time, nor was it fulfilled in our brother William Soto Santiago’s time; because the ministry in which the Church-Bride would be seeing and receiving is the ministry in which God would be fulfilling that promise.
[WSS] If it was for the time of Reverend William Branham, then he would have had to be the person who was there with a people…
[JBP] Notice how he says it so clearly: It is always the current messenger, with the current people; because God… Where is the action happening? Here! On Earth.
[WSS] … he would have had to be the person who was there with a people, the people supporting the construction of that Tent Cathedral. Therefore, that must accompany the construction of that Tent, it must be supported by a ministry, the people must be advised in order to work right, it must be according to the Word…
[JBP] Now look, in the First Coming of the Lord, the Builder, which is God, came in a construction worker: because He had to be a person who knew. He was going to build the Mystical Body of Believers, the spiritual Temple, so He had to be someone who knew how to build. And who better than God, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, the Builder, the Great Builder, who came in the midst of the Hebrew people two thousand years ago, and came to carry out that Work of the construction of that spiritual Temple.
And look, at the end of time, then He in His Second Coming also sends a builder, to build Him a dwelling place with the people; like it was in the tabernacle of Moses and in the temple of Solomon.
Now notice how everything is now made visible, tangible. Everything that God worked in past times in that spiritual realm, in types and figures, and also shown in the tabernacle of Moses and in the temple of Solomon, today, notice, God does among the common people.
Now notice he speaks to us here [“THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”]:
[WSS] … the people must be getting advised in order to work right, it must be according to the Word; it can’t be… a person saying: “Let’s build a Tent,” without having the ministry relevant to that time.
It was a prophet, Reverend William Branham, with the ministry of Elijah who received that vision and who wanted to make that vision a reality. Therefore, those things must come with it for the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.
In the year 1964, around there, he said: “One thing has not yet been fulfilled, as far as I know, and that is the Tent Vision.” Let’s see what year it was so that we are very aware, it was in the year ‘64. January 20 of the year ‘64; it says [Book of Quotations]:
[64-0120 - “His Unfailing Words Of Promise,” p. 17, para. 138]
[JBP] And there he reads that portion, which is in 120 of the book of Quotations, and he begins to read that portion, and he speaks as he reads; you can have it opened there while I continue to read here. This one is 120, paragraph 1068; and our brother William begins to read it there, he says:
“1068 – “138 Now, that great gift! Others I’ve tried to explain (that is, the other stages: the sign on the hand and the discernment ([JBP] brother William says)) and say how it was done ([JBP] and brother William says): (see? He tried to explain how the sign on the hand operated and he tried to explain how the discernment operated). ([JBP] And he continues reading): This can’t be explained ([JBP] brother William says) (that is, the Third Pull, which is by the Spoken word) ([JBP] he continues reading). Just wait. It will not be in operation so perfectly now.”
[JBP] And brother William says:
[WSS] Although It was in operation, [in] Reverend William Branham could speak squirrels into existence and they came into existence; he could speak out of existence, for example someone’s tumor, as it happened with his wife, and it would disappear; he could speak to the coming snowstorm, and it went away; he could speak a little fish to resurrection, to life, and it would resurrect (a type and figure of the dead in Christ who will be resurrected by Christ); because that is the creative Word put in the mouth of a prophet.
He could speak salvation to some young people and God would save them; of course, as long as their mother believed that God would save them, if she asked for their salvation.
*[Sister Meda Branham’s Healing: 64-0120 - “His Unfailing Words Of Promise,” pp. 10-17, paras. 71-136 / Stopping the Storm: 63-1110E - “He That Is In You,” pp. 20-24, paras. 86-122) / Resurrection of the Little Fish: 57-0623 - “Believe From The Heart,” pp. 17-20, paras. 130-157 / Creation of Squirrels: 59-1123 - “Speak To This Mountain,” pp. 15-24, paras. 33-52 / Salvation of Hattie Wright’s children: 60-0417M - “Go, Tell,” pp. 26-28, paras. 170-188]
[JBP] Notice that one is required to believe. She asked, but she asked believing that God would grant her that request: “My two children.”
Now, look, that’s the real treasure: family. How many of you would wish in your heart and have asked God to have your family members who have not received the Lord, to have them in eternity? All of you! And if God granted this request to sister Hattie Wright, then it is possible. It is possible to have our family members in eternity! Now only one thing is required: believing, but believing with faith; not doubting.
God gave them to her, they right away they came running to His feet, crying.
Now, wasn’t that seen in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision at a certain moment? Let’s see where it was, one of the places where he spoke of the Tent Vision, where he said [WMB] “it looked nice… people crying, with their hands lifted up.” Let’s see here where he narrated it, the portions, there’s one - there’s one that says that exactly; let’s see if it’s on page 25: 25, paragraph 211 [Quotations]:
[58-1001 - “Lifting Him Up Out Of History,” p. 1, paras. 4-5] [Bible Study #345, 24-2/Sep/2023 (Sunday), pp. 19-20, 28-31]
211 - “4 And it’s been told me, some time ago, by a vision that the Lord gave me, some year ago, I suppose, or maybe a little more. I have it wrote out in a book at home, of a changing of a ministry. (...)
5 And then some time ago, I was in a vision and I saw a—a large tent. Oh, it was a mammoth, big affair. And I had just been speaking ([JBP] See? There were preachings there), and many souls were at the altar, and were just kind of weeping with their hands up, quietly and softly.”
[JBP] See? All that was shown to Reverend William Branham, which is what the Angel was showing him about all those things that were happening, where, notice, that stage will arrive very soon.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the message “LOOK AWAY TO JESUS,” on page 13 of this message, here it shows us those manifestations that the Holy Spirit had through brother Branham and where brother William wrote certain things there, look, it says:
[63-1229E - “Look Away To Jesus,” p. 11, paras. 84-87]
[Study “Knowing the Word by Revelation,” 3/Dec/2022 (Saturday), p. 48 (PARAS. 84-86)]
84 How many remembers about the squirrels? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.]
[JBP] At the beginning there, he writes: [WSS] «1» (because he numbered them).
[84] All right. That was a puzzling Scripture, in my life, that I—I never could understand that.
85 And there was another one that puzzled me, that was when Moses could tell God a better way than God knowed how to do anything, when Moses said, “The people will say, ‘Your God was able to bring you out, but not able to keep you,’” and Moses threw hisself in the breach. Then later I found out that, Moses, that was Christ in Moses, standing for the people. See?
86 So then on this Scripture, that I never would preach on it, “If you say to this mountain…”
[JBP] That is, those are the two Scriptures that he always… he says that “that was a Scripture that puzzled me in my life, that I never could understand,” it was that one, about Moses, and this one that says:
[86] “If you say to this mountain, ‘Be moved.’” And you know the story, so I’ll bypass that ([JBP] he writes there): [WSS] «Mark 11:21-24». Now, little did I know what that was leading to. And I think that Brother Wood and Brother Fred, and them, are here in the building, which was present when that happened, or right after it happened there.
87 And Brother Rodney and Brother Charlie, from down in Kentucky, Sister Wood’s brother and them was present when it happened down in Kentucky, which was the second time it happened.
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «2».
And he writes: [WSS] «Creation».
[87] Just simply speaking into existence, things that wasn’t. See? Speaking, all time, and backing up the Scriptures, encouraging.
[JBP] Now, where there was nothing, and he spoke the Word and the squirrel appeared.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he says, in the book of The Seals, that that Third Pull, it says that there will be the creation of arms and legs. And… look…, if you have that little part, that portion, to get your faith to a certain place. He wrote it, I don’t know if it was in the book of The… the 281 let’s see, 281 [p. 324 in Eng. (Fifth Seal)]:
24 I believe… I’m not going to speak it in His Name; I’m going to speak it in my…in the revelation of my faith, what happened in Sabino Canyon the other day. I believe that the hour is approaching, when missing limbs will be restored, and the glorious Power of the Creator. I—I believe, if He can make a squirrel appear, that has no…Here is the man or woman, just got a part missing. And that’s complete animal, in itself. He is God. I—I love Him.
[JBP] I love Him, too!
And he writes on the side: [WSS] «Arms and legs restored (created)».
[JBP] Today, Sunday, Jarianny Iramar Marquez is in Puerto Rico. I don’t know if you can zoom in on her. We are the ones in control of the satellite, so it’s no problem. We will wait patiently; if they can make the switch, we will wait a few seconds. Let’s see her, so you know who I’m talking about. You can make the switch with Puerto Rico; there she is.
Notice what our brother William spoke. She was in an accident where she lost her arm, and she will have it soon. He, in the message “THE TIME FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF THE MESSIAH ON EARTH,” which was February 10, 2017 in Cayey, Puerto Rico, he says:
THE TIME FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF THE MESSIAH ON EARTH
—Introduction—
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Friday, February 10, 2017
Cayey, Puerto Rico
[P. 3] In this accident, as Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin has explained to us, journalist Jarianny Iramar Marquez suffered grave consequences; and we await God’s help so that everything goes well in the operation that they must do on her, and so that she can continue with her work, which is very important in the Divine Program.
Jarianny, may God bless you and your husband; and may He completely restore your arm that will undergo surgery…
[JBP] Because the other arm was also left with certain issues, and they were going to operate on that arm; but she had already lost the other one.
[WSS] … and may He completely restore your arm that will undergo surgery, and the other one ([JBP] in other words, the one she lost), may He restore it for you in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.
[JBP] It is a spoken Word, and that will be fulfilled! That will serve as a testimony to the unbelievers, that God at this end time is present in the midst of His people, that the Pillar of Fire is in the midst of the people; and that when this Word is fulfilled, there are many, as brother Branham said: [WMB] “The mouth of the critics will be shut.”* In other words, it’s a “mouth-closer.”
*[60-0313 - “Hear Ye Him,” pp. 13-14, paras. 36-38]
I join these words, and I ask God that this becomes a reality soon, that soon she receives that arm, that arm is restored.
[WSS] You have given your life to the Work of God. May God reward you greatly and continue using you greatly in His Program at this end time.
[JBP] Now notice how everything that was spoken by Reverend William Branham, look, today there are brethren who have certain conditions; and when he speaks there in the book of The Seals, in 1963!, already prophesying of arms and legs being restored; and we see a young lady who went through that situation, and we see how that word will be fulfilled: in her and in everyone who is missing a limb, or who has a disability: they will be restored, they will be completely healed. God is already carrying out that Work.
But notice, God doesn’t do things to make a show; everything has its time.
And the attitude towards the Word, notice, in the time of separation that those Angels are carrying out, that is the trial time.
—“No, they have been saying since forever,” they start to smite their fellow servants [Matthew 24:48-51]: “My lord is delaying,” or “This is never going to be fulfilled.”
Notice, why did God have them wandering in the wilderness? To see what was in their heart; how everything comes out. And even God’s elect, how God cleanses them from the inside out, taking out everything that gets in the way of us receiving the blessings.
There is a place where we read: [WSS] «cleaning in the sanctuary»*. Remember?
*[Bible Study #236, 9/Sep/2022 (Friday), p. 37 / Bible Study #351, 15-2/Oct/2023 (Sunday), p. 34: 61-0108 - “Revelation, Chapter Four Part III,” pp. 16-17, para. 96 - [WSS] «the cleansing of the Sanctuary».] [Bible Study #195, 17/Apr/2022 (Sunday), p. 14 / Bible Study #293, 26/Mar/2023 (Sunday), pp. 38, 40-41: 61-0618 - “Revelation, Chapter Five Part II,” pp. 29-30, para. 171 - [WSS] «the cleansing of the Sanctuary. The dispute for 10 days of silence, type of the ½ hour».]
Now, notice how what was shown in Reverend William Branham, in the creation of squirrels, by the spoken Word, at this end time would be in a greater way. That’s why you see that he, when he says: [WMB] “What you have seen partially, will be manifested in the fullness of its power.”*
*[63-1229E - “Look Away To Jesus,” pp. 5-6, paras. 38-39]
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say here [“LOOK AWAY TO JESUS”]:
[63-1229E - “Look Away To Jesus,” pp. 11-14, paras. 87-104, 118-125]
[87] Just simply speaking into existence, things that wasn’t. See? Speaking, all time, and backing up the Scriptures, encouraging.
[JBP] And there he writes the number 3: [WSS] «3».
And he writes: [WSS] «Salvation».
88 The third time it happened was Hattie Wright. Is Hattie here tonight? That’s Edith’s… How many knows Hattie Wright? Brother Wood and I were sitting there when it happened, and when the Holy Spirit said, “Give her what she wants…”
[JBP] How many “Hattie Wright” brethren are here today, who are asking for their family members? How many of us identify with her? We all have a family member or someone for whom we have cried out and prayed for their salvation.
[88] …and we was talking about that, how them squirrels come into existence.
89 And I said, “Is, only thing it is, He is Jehovah-Jireh. Just when Abraham needed a ram, God provided that ram. And He provided the squirrels. He can speak a squirrel just into existence, because He is creator, just the same as He could speak the ram ([JBP] and there on the left he draws a Star of David). Abraham never asked for it. He was just simply going on to do it, but it showed that Jehovah-Jireh was there.”
90 When I said that, a humble little woman… For the first time this ever happened, the Third Pull, upon a human being…
[JBP] Look at that: “The Third Pull upon a human being.”
Why? Because in those few minutes, sister Hattie Wright was going to have the power of the Word, for her to ask for whatever she wanted. It was Mark 11 in her: [WMB] “Ask for what you want.” The Third Pull is the Word.
[90] …was a little, humble woman.
91 That, making about two hundred dollars a year, for her living, all she got out of her little farm. Her husband dead; two children that had turned kind of wild. And come and donated twenty dollars, of that, to the building of this Tabernacle. And Meda had give me some money that morning for groceries, twenty dollars, and I was going to give it back to her that day, while I was down there, so that she wouldn’t have to pay it. But she wouldn’t take it ([JBP] that is, it was an offering that she gave him). And when…
92 She was sitting back in the corner, and when I said, “Only thing I know, is, He is still Jehovah-Jireh.”
93 And little Hattie said the right word. She said, “That’s nothing but the Truth.”
[JBP] Notice, she believed in the Word of the prophet, in what he was speaking.
Remember what I told you this morning? There can’t be a hint of doubt.* Doubt is unbelief. She didn’t have it there. That woman was believing what the prophet was speaking!
*[Chat “The Mighty Angel giving us the Rapturing Faith,” 6-1/Oct/2024 (Sunday), p. __ ]
Now, she moved the Holy Spirit with that. What a way to touch the Holy Spirit: By believing! Touch Him today!
94 And when she said that, Brother Banks Wood here is one that was present, that room felt like it was coming apart. And the Holy Spirit said, the same Voice that spoke about the squirrels, said, “Give her what she asks for.”
[JBP] Ufff, those are…! That’s already something… that’s an order!: “Give her what she asks for!” But since God has to work through a prophet, notice the channel: He told the prophet to give her what she asked for.
95 And I said…
[JBP] See? The Holy Spirit speaking through the mouth of Reverend William Branham already.
95 And I said, “Sister Hattie, as a witness before God, this is it. Now, if there is any doubt in your mind, you ask ([JBP] now, notice, there couldn’t be any doubt) what you want to, and if it ain’t laid in your lap, then I’m a false prophet.”
96 She said, “Brother Branham.” Everybody was crying. Said, “What shall I ask?”
97 I said, “You are poor, and you live on the hill over there, with no money; you might ask for that. You got a little, crippled sister sitting here, Edith, that we prayed for, for years; you might ask for her healing.” I said, “Your father and mother is old and broke down; you might ask for them. Whatever you ask for, Sister Hattie, see now if it happens or not, right now.” And I said, “He has just told me, the same Voice ([JBP] in other words, the same Voice told him again), said, ‘Give her what she asks for.’”
[JBP] And there on the side he draws a Star of David, and a Cornerstone and the ages.
98 And she looked around, said, “What shall I say, Brother Branham?”
99 I said, “Say what your desire is. Think of your greatest desire, and say it.”
100 And her boys was even snickering and laughing. And she said, “The greatest desire I have is the salvation of my two sons.”
[JBP] What a tremendous request that woman made there!, and what a teaching to us! Sometimes we can think of a certain need, but there are other greater needs than those, which transcend. And the mouth of the prophet spoke there.
101 I said, “I give them to you, in the Name of Jesus Christ,” and there they went.
102 And they been faithful in this church, with communion, them little fellows sitting there washing feet with the men, and things like that ([JBP] that is, they became a great help to the church there). We all are witness of that.
103 She had a real choice. Her mother has to die, so does she, all of them. But what she asked will be Eternal, and the salvation of her children. That was the third time it happened.
[JBP] And there he draws another Star of David on the left.
[Study “They speak as God gives them the Word,” 17-1/Sep/2022 (Saturday), p. 5 (PARA. 104)]
104 The fourth time…
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «4».
And he writes: [WSS] «control over».
104 The fourth time it happened, I just explained it here the last time I was here, was up on the mountain where that storm raging.
[JBP] Then he tells how they got there. And on 16 he says, page 16 says:
[Study “They speak as God gives them the Word,” 17-1/Sep/2022 (Saturday), pp. 8-10 (PARAS. 118-125)]
118 And I went back as He told me, after waiting for a while and eating that sandwich that David give me, and went back up there and sat down.
119 And while I was sitting there, and that wind twisting and blowing, the tree tops leaning way over, and the sleet and snow flying like that, a Voice said, “I am the God of creation.”
120 I looked up, and I thought, “Where was that? That was the wind, maybe.”
121 He said, “I created the heavens and earth. I stilled the mighty winds upon the seas,” and went on talking.
I jumped up and took off my hat.
122 And He said, “Just speak to the storm, and it’ll cease. Whatever you say, that’s what will happen.”
[JBP] “They will have power over nature,”* it says in the book of The Seals; that is, the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
*[The Seals, “The Fifth Seal,” p. 358, para. 308; “The Sixth Seal,” pp. 416-417, paras. 291-296; p. 419, paras. 317-319]
123 And I said, “Storm, you cease. And, sun, you shine normally for four days, till we are out of here.”
[JBP] In other words, he also set the time until they left that place.
124 And I no more than said it, until the sleet, snow and everything stopped. In a moment or two, the hot sun was shining on my back. I seen the winds blowing like this, come back from the North, coming down… I mean from the East, coming from the East. It was coming from the West; the winds changed and came back this way. And the clouds, like a mystic thing, lifting up into the air, and the sun was shining in a few minutes.
[JBP] There he writes on the side: [WSS] «The East».
[JBP] Like when one speeds up a video of clouds: vooop! [like the sound when a video is playing at a fast speed –Ed.], and that… and then everything is nice and clear. That is, it’s cloudy like that with that whole storm, and all of the sudden vrooom!, and the sky is all clear.
125 Then the Lord Jesus spoke to me a little later on, about my wife down there, as you know, about where I went up there. I’ve never been home on a anniversary yet, and we’ve been married twenty-two years ([JBP] and he writes on the side): [WSS] «22 years». The first anniversary, the first, our wedding, why, I took her on a hunting trip. Cause, I couldn’t afford to take the hunting trip, and—and—and go on a honeymoon, too, so I—I kind of put it together. And so, then, and I’ve been hunting ever since. I felt the way I’d treat her.
Now, that was the fourth time it happened.
[JBP] And later, on 22, he speaks of the fifth, he connects the first one there to the resurrection of the little fish; but notice here once he speaks of the fifth one…
On page 22 he writes number 5: [WSS] «5».
And it says [“LOOK AWAY TO JESUS”] [P. 20]:
[63-1229E - “Look Away To Jesus,” pp. 20-21, paras. 172-174, 180-182] [Bible Study #383, 4-2/Feb/2024 (Sunday)), p. 9 (PARAS. 172-174)] [Study “The Requirements for the Adoption of a Child of God,” 30/Apr/2022 (Saturday), pp. 44-45 (PARAS. 180-182)]
172 And just then ([JBP] he writes above): [WSS] «healing» I heard something in the room.
[JBP] In other words, he had already narrated what had happened with Meda, regarding that tumor, and the cause of - why she got it.
172 And just then I heard something in the room. I looked up. And a Voice said, “Stand up.” Said ([JBP] and there after “said,” he draws a Star of David), “Now whatever you say, that’s the way it’ll be.”
173 I waited just a minute. I said, “Before the doctor’s hand shall touch her, the hand of God shall take the tumor away, and it won’t even be found.”
174 That settled it, to me. I never called her.
[JBP] On page 23, that’s where he writes: [WSS] «5».
[Study “The Requirements for the Adoption of a Child of God,” 30/Apr/2022 (Saturday), pp. 44-45 (PARAS. 180-182)]
[180] Five is the number of grace, a number of f-a-i-t-h, too.
181 There is no more doubt in my mind. I know what the Third Pull is, and I know what it does ([JBP] so do I). Now be reverent, just keep quiet ([JBP] there on “just keep quiet” he writes): [WSS] «half hour», the hour will soon arrive where God is going to do some great things for us.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] “There is such a need in the world,” he says in the book of Quotations, that it won’t be - that it will be for the time when… or to help people in need. Page 26, there of that paragraph - page 26, paragraph 216, of the book of Quotations, there at the end, where he speaks of the name, it says:
[58-1003 - “Looking At The Unseen,” p. 1, para. 9] [Study “Knowing the Word by Revelation,” 3/Dec/2022 (Saturday), p. 36 / Bible Study #273, 15/Jan/2023 (Sunday), pp. 45-46 / Study “The New Revival,” 27/June/2023 (Tuesday), pp. 8-9]
216 - “[9] And it seem like that maybe it’s just going to continue on for a while, until that tent comes in, up under the same ministry that I’ve had. Because, in the interviews today, there were four great outstanding visions took place, in the interviews. So, seemingly, maybe, I will continue on until that maybe the tent starts, or wherever it is He has chosen to begin to declare His Name in a new way. But when It does, it’ll be just as perfect as the others. It’ll be just…And I’m trusting to God that it will be greater than the others. Not because of—of our ministry, but because of the sick and needy people. There’s such a need in the land today!”
[JBP] Notice, everything he saw there, which on page 119 of paragraph 1057 he told us that the Third Pull would be for the lost, for the Church (the foolish), and for the Bride, and for the 144,000*.
*[63-1229E - “Look Away To Jesus,” p. 7, para. 49]
Now, it continues to say [“LOOK AWAY TO JESUS”] [P. 21]:
[181] Now let us bow our heads for a word of prayer.
182 Lord Jesus, I had seen it upon other people, but when it come to my own precious wife, it was in my home, then, Lord.
[JBP] Notice, it was in his family.
Now, remember, judgment begins at the House of God.
[182] I looked at it with my own eyes, felt it with my own hands. And I…fif-…sixteen years before that, it was also, Lord, known and revealed by You ([JBP] in other words, it had been - 16 years ago he had seen that matter regarding that tumor). When anything is spoken, it must be done. You were showing me, Lord, then, that, my confidence in what You had done for the people, and would let me know, so I could help them. You brought it to pass in my own home ([JBP] Hehe). That was the First Pull. And now the Third Pull confirmed the First Pull.
[JBP] And he writes there:
[WSS] «The 1st Pull = the hand».
«3rd Pull = The spoken Word».
[JBP] Now, that won’t be weakening; that is, nothing will weaken that ministry; because it will already be in that moment, in that stage there will be no limits, not even time limits; it says that [WMB] “the line will go on for hours and hours,” he says: “it will not be weakening.”*
*[56-0408A - “What Is A Vision?” pp. 18-19, paras. 116-122]
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, our brother William continues saying, once he finishes speaking about the five manifestations in brother Branham, he says [“THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”]:
[WSS] And so on and so forth, we find countless things that happened under that manifestation of the Third Pull, as Reverend William Branham calls it: the Third Pull, which was speaking the Word and things happening. That is also called “the Sword in the hand,” the Sword, the Word, which is given to the messenger; the creative Word.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 30 of the message “AS I WAS WITH MOSES, SO I WILL BE WITH THEE” Reverend William Branham says:
[60-0911M - “As I Was With Moses, So I Will Be With Thee,” pp. 27-28, paras. 180-181] [Bible Study #197, 24/Apr/2022 (Sunday), p. 24]
180 But Lord, I’m getting tired, tramping around over this same ground. Like I said last night, “Forty years in the wilderness, back and forth, back and forth.” ([JBP] He writes there): [WSS] «40 years». God blessing, yes, raising sheep and children, and whatever more, and flocks and herds, and all more. God, You blessed them. But one day You said, “You been on this mountain long enough. Oh, go on up north, towards Jordan.”
181 God, I’m starting, this morning. I’m leaving these signposts, ’cause it’s pointing towards a better Land. I may stumble. I may go through the Amalekites. I may go through the Hittites, through the Canaanites. I may have to pass through my own criticizing.
[JBP] Notice, there he’s showing what that ministry would go through in the end.
Now, notice the Word is sweet when It is spoken; it says: “It will be sweet in your mouth like honey; but when I ate It, It made my belly bitter.” [Revelation 10:9-10] In other words, that is all the persecutions, the criticisms, the mockery which that instrument receives and will continue to receive.
But notice that the mission will be totally fulfilled, the mission of the Messiah in His First Coming was to carry out that Work of Redemption, the mission in His Second Coming is to carry out that Claiming Work of everything He redeemed with His Blood.
[181] I may have to pass through my own criticizing. Lord, I’ll just keep moving on. I know there is a Land yonder, somewhere. There is somewhere, some condition, some place we can get to, where You’ll answer prayer, that whatever we ask will be granted; not even cancer will stand before the prayer. I know that to be the truth. That I believe, and wait for, Lord…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] The angel told him: [WMB] “If you get the people to believe you,” I don’t know if I have that part here, that’s in “THE ANGEL AND HIS COMMISION,” or “HOW THE ANGEL CAME TO ME, AND HIS COMMISSION,” page 28, where he says:
[55-0117 - “How The Angel Came To Me, And His Commission,” p. 21, paras. 151-153] [Bible Study #233, 28/Aug/2022 (Sunday), p. 20]
151 So I was sitting there and looking at Him. I—I kind of had my hand up like that. He was looking right at me ([JBP] referring to the Angel), just as pleasant. But He had a real deep Voice, and He said, “Do not fear, I am sent from the Presence of Almighty God.” And when He spoke, that Voice, that was the same Voice that spoke to me when I was two years old, all the way up. I knowed that was Him. And I thought, “Now…”
152 And hear it. Now listen to the conversation. I’ll quote it the best that I can, knowingly, word by word, ’cause I’d hardly remember.
153 He…I said…Looked at Him like that. He said, “Do not fear,” just as quiet, said, “I am sent from the Presence of Almighty God, to tell you that your peculiar birth…” As you know what my birth was up there. That same Light hung over me when I was first born. And so He said, “Your peculiar birth and misunderstood life has been to indicate that you’re to go to all the world and pray for the sick people.” And said, “And regardless of what they have…” And He designated. God, Who’s my Judge, knows. That, He designated “cancer.” Said, “Nothing…If you get the people to believe you, and be sincere when you pray, nothing shall stand before your prayer, not even cancer.” See, “If you get the people to believe you.”
[JBP] How many are believers today? How many here are believers? Well, nothing is impossible as for what you ask of the Lord.
And there on the side he draws a Star of David.
And he writes: [WSS] «People to believe you».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, look, our brother William continues to say [“THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”]:
[WSS] And that fulfills what was said: “If you sa…- If you have faith, you will say to a... you can say to this mountain: Move from here to there, and it will come to pass.” [Matthew 17:20] It is the creative Word being spoken, which was not fully functioning, it was partially functioning.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] On page 31 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 261, it says:
[59-1219 - “Questions And Answers On The Holy Ghost,” p. 5, paras. 21-23] [Bible Study #316, 16/June/2023 (Friday), pp. 43-45 / Bible Study #373, 31-2/Dec/2023 (Sunday), pp. 43-44]
261 - “21 Jesus said, “Say to this mountain…” And you’ve heard the—about what’s been taken place; that’s the ministry that we’re entering into. We’re way up the road now. Soon the Coming of the Lord Jesus ([JBP] and there on the left he draws a Star of David). And we’ve got to have rapturing faith in a Church that can be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye to go out, or we’ll not go. But don’t worry, it’ll be there.”
[JBP] Don’t worry, it’ll be there. And today we can say: He is here. Don’t worry.
261 - “[21] It’ll be there. And when the power of this church rises, it’ll bring its brethren; the power of that church rises, will bring its brethren; the power of that church will bring the other brethren; then there’ll be a general resurrection.”
[JBP] On the right he draws a Star of David and the ages; he had drawn a Cornerstone, and on top of that he drew a Star of David on it.
261 - “[21] And we’re looking forward to it.
22 Now, don’t forget, prayer cards in the morning at eight o’clock until eight-thirty. (...)
[23] That ministry is just about fading out anyhow; there’s something greater coming in ([JBP] and there he draws a Star of David on the right: the Two Olive Trees). Remember, that’s where each time it’s been said across this platform or across this pulpit, and it never has failed yet. You remember the ministry about the hand? See what it did? The thoughts of the heart, see what it did? Now watch this: speak the Word, and see what It does. See? I told you here years ago—the church (I’m talking to the tabernacle)—years ago, three or four years ago, something was fixing to materialize; it’s fixing to take place. And here it is now breaking right in to…It’s shaping itself up.”
[JBP] At the top he writes:
[WSS] «The Coming of the Lord and the Resurrection».
«Say to this mountain».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say, reading from quote 120, paragraph 1068, he continues, after he says all of this [“THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”]:
1068 – “[138] It will not be in operation so perfectly now. Wait till that Council of Churches brings on that persecution, that’s when it will happen ([JBP] brother William says) (meaning, it is preceded by a situation of a squeeze against the people, in the midst of whom that Third Pull will be manifested).”
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “BIRTH PAINS,” it tells us on page 15, of this message:
[65-0124 - “Birth Pains,” pp. 12-13, paras. 86-88]
[86] Now, if we’re to have a new earth, the old earth and the new earth cannot exist at the same time. Or, the new world and the old world cannot exist at the same time. There can’t be two world orders together at the same time. Now, in order to get the new earth, the old one has to die. Now, if the old one has to die, then it’s giving birth pains for a new one now.
87 And then if a doctor…
[JBP] And he underlines and circles “doctor,” and he writes: [WSS] «Moses».
In other words, it is the dispensational ministry, as one of the Two Olive Trees.
87 And then if a doctor went to examine a patient that was in labor now, the…one of the things that doctor would do ([JBP] and he underlines it again, and writes): [WSS] «Moses». Which, I’m talking in the presence of two or three ([JBP] there’s a message that he titled “DOCTOR MOSES,”* (look for it)), I know, of good medical doctors here, Christian doctors. And I—I—I would ask you this. One of the first things that doctor does, after he’s been watching the patient, is to time the pains, birth pains. He times the pains, how close they are together, and how much more terrific each one gets.
*[55-0114 - “Doctor Moses”]
[JBP] Well…, when one goes to the doctor, the doctor tells you to sit on the stretcher, he is at his desk and tells him: “Sit on the stretcher”; but he does not stay there; from there, he goes over and checks and sees; the doctor stands and goes to the patient, he goes to the body, and starts to examine him: “Where are you feeling the pains? Where does it hurt? Breathe in (ahh!), breathe out (uhh!),” we have gone through all of that: “Now from the back,” and he continues checking him.
[87] He times the pains, how close they are together, and how much more terrific each one gets. One is more harder to have than the other one. Next one, still harder, get closer together. That’s the way he diagnoses the case, by the birth pains.
88 Well, if the world has to give way to the birth of a new world, let’s just examine some of the birth pains we’re having on the earth, and then we’ll see about what day and just about how far she is along in her labor.
[JBP] He writes there: [WSS] «Birth pains for the new world to be born».
[JBP] Didn’t he say, in the book of or the message “SOULS THAT ARE IN PRISON NOW,” that He Himself came down, Elohim, to see the condition of Sodom and Gomorrah?*
*Study “In the 3rd Pull: They had to recognize Him,” 17/Nov/2022 (Thursday), pp. 17-18, 23-24, 40 / Bible Study #288, 10-2/Mar/2023 (Friday), pp. 42-44: 63-1110M - “Souls That Are In Prison Now,” pp. 39-41, 43, paras. 284-290, 297, 316 - [WSS] «Elohim descended to Sodom».
Now, how can you know how the patient is doing? Well, by going to the body. How can the doctor know how that body is doing? Well, by going to the body. Are you understanding me? [Amen!]
And he starts seeing where and how those contractions are, those pains, both of the new Earth, of a new world, of a Millennial Kingdom, as well as the new Earth of your body. Let’s see how you’re doing, let’s start getting rid of those pains, let’s start diagnosing what you have, and helping you to be healed, from the spiritual to the physical; and that total Healing will come soon, which is the new body.
The best medication is the Word, that is the best medicine.
Don’t close your mouth… There’s a place where we read that a doctor would feel bad if he approached you with the remedy and the person spat it out*.
*[Study “The Seat of Judgement = the Son,” 6/Jan/2024 (Saturday), pp. 89-90: 65-0815 - “And Knoweth It Not,” p. 23, para. 180]
Take the medicine; although sometimes they are so bitter that one goes: ugh/ blegh! The red ones, that they would… they gave it to you in a spoon. And when I was little, they would put it in one of those things that… slurp [syringe] and it had suction, and they would come with a spoon of ice cream: ¡bam!, right there they would… they put ice cream in there with medicine at the same time; and you didn’t know if it tasted like vanilla or it tasted bitter; and then you would look at the vanilla ice cream and it reminded you of the medicine. Well, at least they did that to me so that I could take the medicine.
And then when I got older: “This is good for you”; and I didn’t need the ice cream anymore, instead, gladly…; although that was when we looked our ugliest, because…; but it was for my own good. And then I would see that that medicine worked.
And such is the Word. Sometimes it’s hard, but since Father loves His child… Notice, many times it’s hard how He aligns us by His Word; but it helps us to move forward toward that stature of that perfect Man.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, our brother William goes on to say, and he goes on to read there, that portion of page 120 of the book of Quotations [“THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”]:
1068 – “[138] That’s the reason I come back among you, to pray for the sick. I have never had but one thing that He ever told me in my life that I know that hasn’t happened yet that some sort of a building or a tent where there will be a little building setting and I’d have to go into that and pray for the sick. That hasn’t happened yet as far as I know. That’s the only thing that I know.”
And if it had not happened, and the fulfillment of the Vision never happened in the ministry of Reverend William Branham, then it is for later…
[JBP] And if it didn’t happen in our brother William’s time, then it was later on. He says:
[WSS] … then it is for later: for and under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah…
[JBP] And after that ministry, which God would be operating in the midst of His Church, which is a dispensational messenger, the seventh dispensational messenger: of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, no other prophet would come after that. He is the Benjamin of the prophets; he is the last one. No one else comes after him; He sticks with him.
[WSS] … because under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, those signs and miracles will come; and therefore that will fulfill the Tent Vision. It says [Quotations]:
[JBP] And now, what he is going to quote on page 136 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 1208; he just reads a short part there, no more than that.
[64-0823M - “Questions and Answers #1,” p. 42, paras. 197]
1208 – “197 Now, latter rain, a hundred and forty-four thousand Jews, no, that isn’t…that…they won’t…that’s—that’s when Elijah and Moses…There’s where the miracles take place.”
[JBP] And he says:
[WSS] So, even the ministries that will be functioning in that Third Pull are announced, where there will be great miracles.
And when the Jews notice that, they will say: “This is the one we are waiting for.” To give you a preview, that is going to be the interlace with the Jews.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the message “WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD,” on page 31 it says, at the bottom, it says:
[64-1221 - “Why It Had To Be Shepherd,” pp. 25-26, paras. 145-157] [Bible Study #425, 30-2/June/2024 (Sunday), pp. 13-16 (PARAS. 145-156)]
145 That staff itself had turned into a serpent before Pharaoh, and the same Pharaoh tried to mimic by magicians. And so does the modern Pharaohs of today, and make-believers, carnal impersonators of the Message, try to mimic the same thing without knowing where it’s coming from ([JBP] and he writes on the side): [WSS] «the impersonators»; and throw It into some denominational something, when It’s as free from it as the air is from being penned up. Sure! But try to mimic, make a mimic.
[JBP] And he writes on the left: [WSS] «impersonators».
146 But, notice, this same shepherd’s staff eat up the other snakes. Where was them snakes at? They were rods on the floor, and there was only one rod picked up. “Both heavens and earth will pass away,” said Jesus, “but My Word shall not.”* Speaks of true atonement coming for sin.
*Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33
147 Also, Israel’s future offered…and there where I spoke of Israel, now in the future…There they were offered deliverance from bondage of death by a prophet-shepherd. They were brought out of bondage by a prophet-shepherd with a staff. See? It was speaking of Israel’s future Deliverer, from death and hell, by a Shepherd-Prophet that we’ll speak of.
148 Now, to all that…all as we know Israel, did not receive the prophet-shepherd’s Word, all of Israel didn’t receive It. Now, notice, they was complaining. “Oh,” when he was performing the miracles, “he was a great fellow,” but when it come to his Message, “that was different.” All great signs follows a new message coming. We know that. In the wilderness they complained, in the wilderness, and died by the thousands. Frankly, there wasn’t only two of them that ever went through that was saved out of a two and a half million, two out of two and a half million.
149 You say, “That…What happened to them?” They’re Eternally gone.
150 “All of them, Brother Branham?” Jesus said so.
151 They said, “Our fathers eat Manna in the wilderness, and they drank from the Rock.”
152 And He…Jesus said, “And they are, every one, dead,” Eternally separated, see, every one.
153 Notice they complained about God’s provided way, was the reason they died. (Now, closely, don’t miss these last few remarks.) They complained! What made them die in the wilderness, they complained about God’s provided way: by a one-man Message, a prophet, a leadership of one man.
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «They complained about God’s provided way, and they were eternally separated from God».
[JBP] Now look, because they rejected God’s provided way, who is always a prophet.
Won’t that happen at this time? Everyone who has rejected God’s provided way for the fulfillment of the Second Coming of the Son of Man with his Angels, what happened to these who rejected Moses is the same thing that will happen to him.
[153] Tell me when God ever used a group to lead. You won’t find it in the Bible. One man, they…The Word came to Moses!
154 Korah; we all know that he—he got hisself together and complained about God not being just, to do a thing like that, to make one man with the Message. He said, “We’re all holy. Why can’t we have a denomination? And why can’t we have…set up this, and do this, and do that?”
[JBP] “And go off to the side, and play the message my way; and separate myself, and do this and that.”
He writes there: [WSS] «A man with a Message».
155 God told Moses, “Separate yourself from him, I’ve had enough of it.” And remember, Jude speaks the same thing, in the last days.
[JBP] And not Judas Iscariot, but Jude, the book of Jude, which is before Revelation.
[155] That’s right, “They perished in the gainsaying of Korah.” We also know what happened to Korah and the—and the rest that questioned God’s Word and God’s wisdom of that one-man leadership: every one of them perished.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «They perished».
And he writes: [WSS] «God’s leadership in a man, the Shepherd-Prophet».
156 Now, we will notice God in the shepherd-prophet, showing His future plans in the next sign voice. Now, watch. We see it there, now let’s watch it in the next sign.
[Bible Study #362, 24-2/Nov/2023 (Friday), pp. 19-20 (PARAS. 156-157)]
157 Now, notice, he was sent to his brethren in slavery, under bondage, with a Message of deliverance ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Jubilee», with a God-given sign to prove His claims. Israel went for his Message, they believed It, every one of them, but in the evening time…They went for his miracles, but in the evening time when they…he gave his Message, “It was different.” All that did not believe that Message, died ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «the Message of the coming judgment / the sign». That’s right. What was the Message? The Message was of the coming judgment. At the evening, at the evening time, God went out through the camp of Israel to find if the people had believed His shepherd-prophet’s Message; and all had not believed It, perished.
[JBP] And he writes on the side: [WSS] «They perished».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”]:
[WSS] But let’s not give away many details so that no one tries to imitate that whole Divine Program; instead, we must work in it. Work knowing that we are doing well, knowing that everything is well on its way, and that everything that God would do after what He did through Jesus Christ, God will do it through His Church.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “BROKEN CISTERNS”… This portion that I just read, there is a little part that I read there, which is in the book of Quotations, on page 140; because there he writes, let’s see there.
There is the portion of “WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERD,” which is what I read, from the booklet, paragraph 1252*, it is the excerpt - part of the excerpt; because on top he writes:
*[64-1221 - “Why It Had To Be Shepherd,” p. 26, paras. 153-155]
[WSS] «About God’s provided way».
«They complained about Moses and they died».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the message “BROKEN CISTERNS,” there he tells us:
[64-0726E - “Broken Cisterns,” pp. 5-6, paras. 30-33] [Bible Study #244, 7/Oct/2022 (Friday), pp. 5-6]
30 Israel had done two great evils. God said they had turned from Him, the Fountain of Life, and had hewed themselves cisterns to drink out of. Now, that’s something.
31 The reason I thought of this text was because that it would run parallel to what I was saying this morning, of the hour that we’re living, and the Cause that we are struggling for.
[Bible Study #391, 3-2/Mar/2024 (Sunday), p. 35 (PARAS. 32-33)]
32 And we look at Israel as example, that, what God was, He always has to remain the same. And there is only one thing that God ever did honor, that was, His way that He provided for the people ([JBP] and there on the left he draws a Star of David). And when they got out of that way, then God was dishonored, and God made the people suffer for getting away from what He had told them to do, no matter what it was.
He even give them a law, “Touch not, handle not, taste not.” Just not because of the evil of doing it, but the evil of disobeying what He said do. And there’s always cannot be a law without a punishment for law. Because, if there’s no punishment, then, law is not much to it unless it has a penalty. The law!
33 Now, we find, what they did in that day seems to parallel what we are doing today, what the church people are doing.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Parallel to today».
And he also writes there: [WSS] «God has only ever honored the way that He provided for the people».
What? A prophet.
[WSS] «God has only ever honored the way that He provided for the people».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [“THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”]:
[WSS] The instruments that He would use from age to age, the messengers from age to age, will be in the midst of His Church. And the ones He will use at this end time also have to be in the Church, because the fulfillment or promise of The Great Tent Cathedral is a promise for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; because there were altar calls and prayers for the sick.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, in this same message “BIRTH PAINS,” look, on page 30… Notice, the fulfillment of the Tent Vision cannot be separated from those ministries; and he says that those ministries must be in the Church, just as the messengers were in every age of the Church. Where does God work? In the midst of His Church.
Now, it says on page 30 of this message:
[65-0124 - “Birth Pains,” pp. 26-27, paras. 192-197]
192 Remember the other day, down at the Westward Ho there, on that morning, on that breakfast, how the Lord let me show you that wheat? How it’s come up through Luther, through Wesley, and the tassels, and so forth, and little springs off, every church represented in a stalk of corn. Then went right down into that wheat, as it was, and there was that little shuck, looked just exactly like the real grain of wheat. When you go out and look, if you don’t know your wheat, you’ll say you got wheat there, but it’s just the shuck. Then you open that shuck up, there’s no wheat there, at all. Way back, there’s a little bud of life coming forth. You take a glass and look at it. And when Pentecost first come out, it was so close, Jesus said in Matthew 24:24, “It would deceive the very Elected if it was possible.” What was it to do? A support to the grain. Is that right? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Now, the tassel…
193 Look here. The blade doesn’t look like the grain that went in, neither does the tassel, but it’s a little more like it. And the shuck is a whole lot like it, but still it ain’t the wheat. It’s the carrier of the wheat.
194 Don’t you see how those messages has come with birth pain? But the Life left right out of there, to go to the next message. The Life went right out of Luther, into Wesley’s message. Right out of Wesley’s message, into pentecostal message. Now it’s time again, to leave the shuck. What’s the matter? There’s nature, in every form, declaring that’s the Truth.
[Bible Study #261, 4/Dec/2022 (Sunday), pp. 18-19 (PARAS. 195-197)]
195 Now you see why you think I’m crazy. Maybe I am, as I said. But there’s Something in me. I can’t stop It. I never put It there. It never come by my own choosing. It’s God. And He confirms It, to prove that It’s the Truth, to make It the Truth. Not as I have anything against Luther, and Wesley, Pentecostals, or Baptists, or whoever. Nothing against nobody. The systems is what I’m against, because the Word is against it…
[JBP] Like what he said on one occasion: [WMB] “I’m not against the person; it’s the spirit that has taken over him, or has taken over her or him.”*
*[Bible Study #234, 2/Sep/2022 (Friday), pp. 27-28: 65-0911 “God’s power to transform,” p. 18, para. 125: [WMB] 125 Pat Boone is a Church of Christ. Elvis Presley is a Pentecostal. Two demonized characters that’s throwed the world in a worse chaos than Judas Iscariot did at the betraying of Jesus Christ ([JBP] he places them worse than Judas Iscariot). They don’t know it. Them boys don’t know that. Nothing that I have against those—those boys, men, it’s the spirit that’s motivating it.]
[195] … not the men. Look at these priests and clergymen setting here, today. They wouldn’t be here if they listened to the system, but they had the common audacity, of the Word of God, to step out and accept It. Hallelujah means “praise our God.” It won’t hurt you. [Someone says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Means “so be it.” I believe It. I believe and know that It’s the Truth. It’s confirmed to be the Truth. Someday you’ll find out, maybe too late. Now watch. Watch.
196 The Bible said, “His Wife has made Herself ready,” at the end of the age. How did She make Herself ready, to becoming His Wife? And what does She? What kind of a garment She had on? His Own Word. She was dressed in His Righteousness. That’s what. It is right. See?
197 Vision! Notice, just closing now. I want to say this one thing just before closing. That’s what led me to say this. Now, it’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. If a man would say that, without, putting it in his own thinking, he would be a hypocrite and should go to hell for it.
[JBP] Anyone who rises speaking and saying: “This means this,” in other words, the message, and trying to deceive the elect, when they don’t have the ministry, and they don’t have the THUS SAITH THE LORD, look at what brother Branham says:
[197] That’s right. If he would try to get a bunch of people, fine people like this, and deceive them, why, he would be a devil in human flesh. God would never honor him. You think God would honor a devil or a lie? Never. See? It goes over the top of their heads, and they don’t get it. He pulls the Elected out.
[JBP] He brings them out of that mix-up. That’s why, if you are mixed up like that, and you know that the person who is speaking there doesn’t have THUS SAITH THE LORD: get out of there!; because that person, look at what he says here…
And he writes above, our brother William writes:
[WSS] «Whoever says “THUS SAITH THE LORD” without being a prophet: is a hypocrite, and must go to hell».
[JBP] There is only one prophet, there is only one messenger on this planet Earth and it is the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal, the fulfillment of the Angel who was different from the rest. As simple as that.
And he also writes there on the left side, he writes on the left side there: [WSS] «The 5th dimension and the impersonators».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William goes on to say here [“THE CROWNING OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”]:
[WSS] So, that Great Tent Cathedral must appear somewhere; and the ministries of Moses and Elijah will have to be invited; and therefore, the Holy Spirit will be there operating those ministries, of Moses and Elijah…
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this Bible study of this message that we are going to hear, he writes here, in the bottom part:
[WSS] «God will provide what is needed for the fulfillment of what God has promised His Church and Israel. For each age God will provide the man with the Message through whom the Holy Spirit will fulfill the Word of promise».
[JBP] And he says that [WSS] the Holy Spirit has to be operating those ministries of Moses and Elijah in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision. In other words, God has provided us those ministries.
[WSS] Because that is what there is after the ministry of the fourth Elijah, what other ministry is there? The ministry of the fifth Elijah; there is no half ministry.
[JBP] Now look, in the message “BIRTH PAINS,” as well, on page 22, it tells us…
Now, what Message and what messenger was between John and Jesus? The Message of Gabriel. But the ministry for which John the Baptist was preparing the way, notice, was fulfilled in Jesus, in the One forerun; that was the Message that there was in between, of the Good Tidings.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, in the message of “BIRTH PAINS,” on page 22, look, it says:
[65-0124 - “Birth Pains,” p. 19, paras. 131-132]
131 Now, notice. His Message never stirred them very much from their ecclesiastical sleep. They just said ([JBP] referring to John the Baptist), “There’s a crazy man down there. Pass him by, soon. Called hisself crazy; he’s trying to drown people down there in the water ([JBP] meaning, when he was baptizing). See? Why there’s nothing to that old man.
[JBP] See? They called him “old,” because of how he looked; and he was about 30 years old, because Jesus was 29 and a half years old, and he was 6 months older; meaning, he was about 30 years old and they called him an old man.
It’s like Jesus, that they would tell Him: “You are not yet 50 years old and You say that You have seem Abraham.” [John 8:56-58] In other words, His appearance seemed older. But the appearance of that instrument isn’t important, what’s matters is that he fulfills the work that God has sent him to do.
[131] Why, he don’t even have on right kind of clothes. He’s got a sheepskin wrapped around him. Well, he’s as poor as Job’s turkey. Why, what seminary he ever come out of? What fellowship card? We’ll not even cooperate in his meetings. We’ll just let him stay down there and starve it out.” See? The world hasn’t changed very much, neither has the systems. Uh-huh. “But we’ll just let him stay down there. He don’t have any…”
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «We’ll leave him alone», on the left hand side.
[Study “The Son of David = In the Millennium, the Spirit Incarnate,” 15/July/2023 (Saturday), p. 8 (PARA. 132)]
132 You know why he didn’t? Remember, his father was a priest. But why didn’t he follow the line of his father, which was custom for the children to do in those days? Because he had something, too greater Message. He was to introduce the Messiah, for the Holy Spirit had said so.
[JBP] Who had said so? The Holy Spirit.
[332] …for the Holy Spirit had said so. That little remnant that had been brought back by the Message of Gabriel, down there…
[JBP] Hehe! See?
[332] …by the Message of Gabriel, down there…
[JBP] It says:
[332] That little remnant that had been brought back by the Message of Gabriel, down there, knew that that would be so.
[JBP] What a tremendous declaration this is!
And he writes: [WSS] «Gabriel and His Message».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, brother Branham told us, on page 33 of the book of Quotations, which we quoted this morning as well; and let’s red this short part there: paragraph 282 of page 33 of Quotations, it says:
[60-0311 - “Mary’s Belief,” p. 6, para. 18] [Study “The incarnate Word,” 4/Feb/2023 (Saturday), p. 8 / Bible Study #370, 22-2/Dec/2023 (Friday), p. 23]
282 - “[18] … and standing there was a Angel, the mighty Gabriel. He’s a messengers to the Jews. Remember, Gabriel announced the first coming of Christ; the Angel Gabriel will announce the second coming of Christ. The Bible said so.”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Gabriel = announces the 2nd Coming of Christ».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to tell us in this other subject: “KNOWING THE TIME OF THE VISITATION OF GOD TO AVOID THE JUDGMENTS THAT WILL COME,” preached on July 14, 2013, in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, he says…
Now notice how God showed us there, in these last minutes, everything that happened in the time of the First Coming of the Lord, and how God is carrying out at the end time what would be parallel in every way which brother Branham said. In other words, the same thing that happened back then, we have been seeing now. Whoever understands and comprehends that mystery has everything sorted out, his transformation is secure!
To recognize the forerunner, to recognize the Good Tidings, the Message… Notice, that remnant knew what the Holy Spirit had spoken. They knew, they were aware; that is the Mary. And to recognize the forerunner, that gives you the whole picture; and then you can look and you can see the Seventh Seal in action.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now notice, he says… in this message (a portion):
[Message from Sunday’s study, July 30, 2023]
KNOWING THE TIME OF THE VISITATION OF GOD TO AVOID THE JUDGMENTS THAT WILL COME
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Sunday, July 14, 2013
Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Santa Cruz, Bolivia
([JBP] And he quotes Luke 21:36):
[WSS] “…Watch, (watch for what? Watch for the Coming of the Lord, be vigilant for the Coming of the Lord), Watch ye therefore and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, (to escape the judgments that will come to pass in the great tribulation ([JBP] brother William says)), and to stand before the Son of man, (to stand before the Son of man) ([JBP] brother William says).
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And in this same message, “BIRTH PAINS,” on page 28, it says:
[65-0124 - “Birth Pains,” pp. 24-25, paras. 177-182] [Bible Study #362, 24-2/Nov/2023 (Friday), pp. 38-40]
[177] There’s a great big system trying to be formed, called the World Council of Churches. And from the womb of the church is coming forth two children. You just mark my word. The world’s…
178 The Word must deliver the Word Bride Church. The Church has got to be delivered out of her, a Bride for Christ. Them that fell asleep in all ages will make up that Bride that come out on the Word that they come out on, like from your feet coming to your head. She gets—gets greater, and more you have to have, and so forth. As the body grows up, so does the Body of Christ grow up. And then finally the Head will come to It ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone on the right), the Head of It will, now, if we notice, ’cause It’s—It’s all linked to the Head. The Head does the turning, pulling.
179 But these systems will not grow out of That, ’cause it’s a system, and it cannot bring forth. A cocklebur cannot bring forth a bunch of wheat. But they’re both in the same field, watered by the same water, and the same sunlight. One is the Word; one is not the Word. And them two are fighting. They been fighting since the first reformation, and they’re still fighting.
180 Now, I don’t have to go any further on that, do I? Surely you know what I’m talking about. [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Yes, sir. There we are. There you are, a system. What system are you in?
[JBP] That is a good question.
181 Just imagine now, if you would have lived back in the other days, under the jolting of God’s prophets and Words that come forth, what side would you want to be on back there?
182 Well, you got the same choice today.
[JBP] “No, if I were in the time of Jesus, I would be a follower of Jesus.” What are you doing today? If today you are following the fulfillment of His Coming, in the time of Jesus, you would be a follower of Jesus! And if you were in the time of Moses, of Joshua, and of all the prophets? Because the same attitude that you are taking today before the Word is the same one that you would have taken in past times.
[WMB] “They garnish the tombs (brother Branham says in a message), in which their own fathers put them, the prophets.”*
*[The Seals, “God Hiding Himself In Simplicity…,” p. 40, para. 271] [Bible Study #279, 5/Feb/2023 (Sunday), p. 26: 64-0410 - “Scriptural Signs of the Time,” p. 9, para. 29] [Bible Study #324, 14-2/July/2023 (Friday), pp. 8-9: 62-1223 - “The Reproach For The Cause Of The Word,” p. 35, para. 278] [Bible Study #332, 11/Aug/2023 (Friday), pp. 55-56: 64-1221 - “Why It Had to Be Shepherd,” p. 43, para. 261]
“No, we believe in Moses.” They didn’t believe in Moses! They were rejecting Jesus! They were rejecting the One who had sent Moses. “We believe in Moses.” They didn’t believe anything. If time turned back and they were put there and they fell right into there, and looked over to Moses and looked over to Dathan, Abiram and Korah, they would have gone with Dathan, Abiram and Korah.
182 Well, you got the same choice today. She’s fixing to bring forth the perfect Word back there, and the Word is coming for the Word Bride. As a—a woman is the part of a man, taken from him, so the Church will have to be a Word-abiding Church, every Word of the Bible; not systems, dogmas, or nothing added to It. It’ll have to be in an unadulterated, pure, virgin Word.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «The Bride will give birth to the Word».
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William goes on to say [“KNOWING THE TIME OF THE VISITATION OF GOD TO AVOID THE JUDGMENTS THAT WILL COME”]:
[WSS] Remember that Christ, the Son of man, will visit His Church at this end time…
[JBP] He is telling us some Good Tidings there, and talk about good!
[WSS] …the Son of man, will visit His Church at this end time; and we will stand before Christ in His last Visit to His Church…
[JBP] He already knew what the Church-Bride would be doing when the Visit was fulfilled: standing before the Son of Man, before that manifestation. Standing: believing.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, in the message “LOOK AWAY TO JESUS,” there is a place there, on page 25:
[63-1229E - “Look Away To Jesus,” pp. 22-23, paras. 190-192]
190 Now, also, I wish to read a Scripture out of Zechariah, the 12th chapter, the 10th verse.
And I will pour out upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me ([JBP] and there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone; and he underlines “and they shall look upon me,”) whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
191 Now for a text, I’m going to take this: Look Away To Jesus. Look away from the world ([JBP] that is, in the opposite direction), to Jesus. Moses made the serpent; and here the prophet, later, was speaking of it, what would happen, looking away to—to Jesus.
192 The Bible said, in Isaiah 45:22. We find that God said, “Look unto Me ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Today: the 2nd Coming of Christ. Rev. 10:1-11, 19:11-21», all the ends of the earth.” And now when the earth has come to its end, or the system of the earth has come to its ends, let the people look unto Him.
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And in the front he writes: [WSS] «The Earth and the earthly systems have come to an end. Let the people look unto Jesus in flesh today».
[JBP] That is what the foolish will see later on, and they will come, notice, to gain strength, to then give their life in the great tribulation.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say [“KNOWING THE TIME OF THE VISITATION OF GOD TO AVOID THE JUDGMENTS THAT WILL COME”]:
[WSS] [P. 26 in Eng.] … because the Son of man will come in the Kingdom of His Father with His Angels, which was shown there on Mount Transfiguration: Christ glorified with Moses and Elijah, one on each side; those are the Two Olive Trees.
[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in a writing of this Bible study, where he writes here:
[WSS] «The tabernacle of Moses, the Pillar of Fire coming = the Pillar of Fire coming in Jesus…».
I’m going to read it again:
[WSS] «The tabernacle of Moses, the Pillar of Fire coming = the Pillar of Fire coming in Jesus; but It wasn’t with Moses and Elijah, the Two Olive Trees».
Look… (Huh? Yes, I saw it).
[WSS] «The tabernacle of Moses…».
[JBP] What is here is something very, very great. And look, I think we spoke it in a…, I think that it was yesterday, where we were talking, there among… those of us who were there; and something that was spoken there. But let’s read this first sentence first:
[WSS] «The tabernacle of Moses, the Pillar of Fire coming ([JBP] in other words, the Pillar of Fire coming to the tabernacle of Moses) = the Pillar of Fire coming in Jesus; but It wasn’t with Moses and Elijah, the Two Olive Trees».
[JBP] Because in the tabernacle of Moses, we don’t see those two giant cherubim there.
If in Jesus, God had been operating the ministries of Moses and Elijah in Him, then instead of the Work of Redemption, He would have had to carry out the Claiming Work.
Do you remember that sometimes he says?: [WSS] “If we count Jesus, then it would be the third time; but if we don’t count Him, then it would be the ministry of Moses for the second time.” He didn’t…, he didn’t always put it like that: [WSS] “If we put it, it would be…” because Jesus is a dispensational ministry; but the Two Olive Trees, the Work that the Holy Spirit would be operating through that instrument was to carry out the separation, the segregation. That is why He looked and said: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” [Luke 23:34]
If the ministries were operating there, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, ha! But notice, if the Corn of Wheat doesn’t fall into the ground and die, then He would abide alone [John 12:24].
Now look, then it says:
[WSS] «The temple of Solomon, the Pillar of Fire entered = the Pillar of Fire, the Word, coming in His 2nd Coming of Christ, in the promised land, and 7th millennium, Last Day».
[JBP] Then they would, then the ministries of Moses and Elijah would be operated in His Second Coming; which is shown in the temple of Solomon.
Therefore, what the Church-Bride has today is the materialization of what was in Solomon’s temple in the most holy place; and what the Hebrew people had in the First Coming was what was in the most holy place of the tabernacle that Moses built.
Now, where was the Shekinah, the Pillar of Fire? In the midst of the two cherubim.
Where was the Pillar of Fire seen speaking to someone above where brother Branham was? In a Great Tent Cathedral [The Seals, “The Seventh Seal,” p. 548 para. 296-299]. In other words, the Tent ministry is the ministry that has those ministries being operated by the Holy Spirit; because it’s where God dwells, where the Pillar of Fire is upon the Mercy Seat, upon that new Mercy Seat.
Blessed be the Lord, that He has allowed us see and look into the tabernacle of Moses, and to see the Pillar of Fire dwell there; and to see the temple of Solomon and see the Pillar of Fire dwell there; and to see today, in the Church of the Lord, the Pillar of Fire dwell in Her midst, between the Two Olive Trees! That… there is no language on this planet Earth that one can use to thank God for allowing us to look beyond the curtain of time, to enter into the Most Holy Place through that veil, and see the Pillar of Fire face to face.
Not through a glass, nor types nor figures, nor “what will happen later on” and “what will come”; no. Today we are seeing the fulfillment of that promise!
[“KNOWING THE TIME OF THE VISITATION OF GOD TO AVOID THE JUDGMENTS THAT WILL COME”]
[WSS] Therefore, in Christ’s Visit to His Church, the Two Olive Trees will also be there, the ministries of Moses and Elijah; that is why Reverend William Branham says that the miracles take place with Moses and Elijah. [64-0823M - “Questions And Answers #1,” p. 45, para. 210]
[JBP] “GOD PROVIDING AT THE TIME OF THE END.”
It has been a great privilege and a very great blessing for me to be here with you on this occasion, speaking to you under this subject: “GOD PROVIDING AT THE TIME OF THE END.”
And we thank God that He has allowed us to see the Pillar of Fire work in the midst of the Latin American and Caribbean people, where Doctor Moses is going around, seeing every pain that the Body has, and the Body is being diagnosed, and it’s being healed, by giving His Church the medicine, to continue restoring her spiritual health; and very soon the complete physical Healing, by the Lord giving the eternal and glorified body to each one of those who belong to that Mystical Body of believers, in the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone.
Let’s stand and thus we will be leaving the subject for today. And I don’t know if there is any song in which we can praise God.
[We love you Jose!] I love you, too.
[AUDIO CUT]
Ah, now they rebooted it; it seems like the console froze; well look, at the end already.
Now… I don’t know if the brethren have a song, a hymn that we can sing for this occasion.
“GOD PROVIDING AT THE TIME OF THE END.”
This is a very important message; which contains many things that we talked about briefly in some of the readings we had about what he will be telling us in this message.
Yes? I’m not sure if they’re ready. What song does the director have here? Yes, you can… we’re among family; so… While they are getting ready, I thank our brother Nacho, Nachito, for everything he has done here with the brothers, everything he has prepared; now you know that it has become too small.
For all those who are outside the different tents, now I see the hands raised way at the end; and over there in the other room over there: May God bless you all and keep you, and may He continue preparing you to have total Healing soon.
Which one do you have?

PSALM 103
Bless the Lord, O my soul:
and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
//Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.//
[JBP] What a choir of Angels!
Notice, over there they stopped singing, they stopped playing, they stopped saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord.” They were all still upon the opening of that Seventh Seal.
Where do you worship today? In the House of God, in the Church! Here we worship in spirit and in truth. In the Most Holy Place is where God’s presence is. Because over there, there was worship when He was there, but now He left, where is He? Where He is, that is where the elect of God are worshiping Him, praising Him, and glorifying His Name, the Holy Spirit, the Word, the Pillar of Fire.
“The Pillar of Fire,” I’m not sure if they can sing it here. “The Pillar of Fire,” I don’t know if the sister was going to sing it. I saw that it seemed like…, so we can have her sing. It’s time to praise God, glorify God. “The Pillar of Fire.”
[Amy Elizondo sings].
THE PILLAR OF FIRE
1
The Pillar of Fire,
which spoke to Moses from that bush,
which went with Israel through the wilderness.
and parted Jordan for them towards freedom…
2
The Pillar of Fire,
which was with Joshua before His people,
the one who fought and overcame with his great strength,
and took them to the land of milk and honey…
CHORUS
The Pillar of Fire,
which was in the prophets and in Jesus,
which was in His Angel Messenger:
He’s here today! He’s still here today!
The Pillar of Fire,
is speaking to us today through His instrument,
He is preparing us for our adoption.
He is God Himself, the Great I AM!
[In the interlude]: [JBP] Amen. It’s the I Am, it’s the Ever-Present One, in the midst of His people.
3
The Pillar of Fire,
which will fill this great Temple with Glory,
the One that will perform miracles and wonders,
is becoming incarnate in our lives today.
2 and CHORUS (2 times)
[JBP] Amen. He is the same yesterday, today and forever! The All-in-All in our lives, the YHWH.
“GOD PROVIDING AT THE TIME OF THE END.”
Let’s now leave with us our beloved brother and friend Dr. William Soto Santiago.
