A man for a revival
A man for a revival
Good morning, missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin, and all the ministers, brothers and sisters gathered there in Monterrey, today Saturday, January 28 of this year 2023; and all those who are connected through the satellite Amazonas or internet in the different countries, the different places, who also have a meeting today.
Our brother Miguel was telling us yesterday, after the message, how the prophets of God when they spoke, on many occasions they spoke in third person or second person, and on other occasions they spoke in first person, as if they were fulfilling what they were speaking. And they fulfilled the part that corresponded to them to fulfill – that corresponded to them to fulfill in the time they were living; but they were also a reflection, type and figure, of what God would be fulfilling later on.
THE ANGEL WITH THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD

And although mankind doesn’t know what has prevented a Third World War, which will be atomic, here chapter 7 of Revelation says what prevents that Third World War from happening before the call of 144,000 Hebrews.
[JBP] See, before that Third World War is the calling of the 144,000 Hebrews; for they are called before the great tribulation begins.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] They are called and gathered as it says in the book of The Seals, page 359 [p. 423 in Eng.]:
266 But Jacob said, “I—I’m not going to leave You. You, You can’t go. I’m going to stay right with You.” See? “I want things changed here.”
267 That’s that hundred and forty-four thousand, that money- scheming bunch, and things like that, when they see the true, genuine thing to get a hold of. There stands Moses, and there stands Elijah. Amen! They’ll wrestle with God until one hundred and forty-four thousand of the tribes of Israel are called out right there.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 11:3-7, 7:2, 14:1.
Rev. 10:1-7; Luke 17:30».
[JBP] See how all those Scriptures are fulfilled in that event that would be happening.
And you notice that brother Branham was also reflected in Revelation 10, where he said and spoke that the seventh angel was that Scripture; and there he was referring and reflecting, typifying, the seventh dispensational angel.
And also in Luke 17:30, he also placed that Scripture in himself, and it was also fulfilled; and it was there reflecting, as well, the ministry of the fifth Elijah.
See how all the Scriptures have multiple fulfillments and multiple revelations, as we read it from our brother William as well1, and read also (from the writings), and also from what we read from the messages of the Reverend William Branham.2
And so you have to look at the Scriptures and the promises relevant to the time in which you are living, which are being fulfilled in the present; that is, the reality of those Scriptures that were reflected, typified, in past times and in past prophets.
He continues to say [The Seals]:
268 That’s just before the Tribulation period, see, (oh how wonderful)…
[JBP] See, that happens before the great tribulation begins.
And how has God called and gathered in every age and in every dispensation the elect that are living when God sends a prophet? Well, through a man. In other words, it is through a man that God always fulfills the promises in the midst of the human race. Therefore, that will be the one who will be calling and gathering the 144,000, 12,000 from each tribe.
269 Here is when the hundred and forty-four thousand is called out. They, the—the preachers, them two prophets, they preach like John the Baptist. “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Repent, Israel!” Repent what? “Repent from your sins, your unbelief, and turn back to God!”
[JBP] Now see how this that we read there happens before the great tribulation.
Now, look here on this same page, he writes at the top: [WSS] «The Angel = Moses and Elijah».
[JBP] Now, remember, an angel is a messenger; in other words, he will be an angel messenger.
HOLDING ON TIGHT TO THE BLESSING OF GOD
(Ministers Meeting)
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Saturday, December 24, 2005
Cayey, Puerto Rico
Therefore, just as Christ came in the Name of His Father, being the Firstborn of God and heir to the heavenly Throne and earthly Throne…; because He inherits both Thrones.
Now, we find that for a person to be joint heir with Christ on that Throne, he will be an Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, a Messenger. Angel means ‘a messenger’.
[JBP] Remember that God has sent messengers in each time; and in the ages he sent seven angel messengers of Jesus Christ; because angel means ‘a messenger’. It will be an Angel Messenger of Jesus Christ.
Now, that Angel, there it tells us that it is Moses and Elijah.
Now remember that Moses and Elijah are the Two Olive Trees, they are the harvesting Angels that in His Second Coming come with the Son of Man; in other words, the Son of Man comes with His Angels.
And that mystery, which is the greatest mystery that will be opened and is being understood in this end time in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, is what will be giving the Rapturing Faith for the elect to be taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Without that revelation none can be transformed and raptured; but with that revelation, those who are already ordained to obtain that blessing: they will receive it and believe it, they will understand it.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And it goes on to say here where we stopped, of the message “THE ANGEL WITH THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD,” it says:
[WSS] But all things will work together for good, and will work for everything to be prepared for the Millennial Kingdom of Messiah. It will work together for good for those who love God and God loves them. For the beloved of God: everything will work together for good.
“THE ANGEL WITH THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.”
I will know Him. And who else will know Him? All of you too.
[JBP] Now, he says there: [WSS] “I will know Him.”
[WSS] He is the one that comes according to Matthew, chapter 24, verse 31, where it says: “And He will send His Angels with a Great Voice of Trumpet and they will gather His elect from one end of Heaven to the other.”
He comes with a Great Voice of Trumpet, he comes with the Great Trumpet of Isaiah, chapter 27, verse 13, to gather the chosen of God.
That is the Great Voice of Trumpet promised to sound. That is the Last Trumpet of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 58; and First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verses 12 to 17. That is the Great Trumpet or Trumpet of God, the Last Trumpet, which is represented in the feast of the trumpets.
Therefore, that is the Seventh Trumpet of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 15 and on. The Trumpet that speaks about the Kingdom of God that announces to the Hebrew people the Kingdom of God and the time for the restoration of the Kingdom of God in the midst of the Hebrew people.
Therefore, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Hebrew people need the Coming of the Angel with the Seal of the living God.
We all need him to appear on the earthly scene in the midst of Christianity and then in the midst of the Hebrew people ([JBP] see, He has to appear in this earthly sphere), so that the purpose for which he is promised to be sent may be fulfilled, where the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Hebrew people will be greatly blessed.
In that Angel, in that messenger (who will be the final prophet and will be a dispensational prophet), will be the stick of Judah and the stick of Ephraim. Just as the stick of Judah and the stick of Ephraim was in the hand of Ezekiel, so it will also be in the hand of the Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God.
Therefore, those two sticks converge in one prophet. That is one of the mysteries of the union of those two sticks for the restoration of the Kingdom of David.
Without the union of those two sticks —and, therefore, of the people under those two sticks—, there will be no restoration for Israel.
There will be total restoration when those two sticks, with the people corresponding to those two sticks, come together.
And for the calling and gathering, to gather the elect, the Angel comes with the Seal of the living God.
Therefore, the work that God will be doing through him will be of union: union of the Hebrew people, union of the ten tribes with the two tribes; for Israel to be complete; in order for the fire of God, the blessing of God, the fire of the Spirit can descend upon the Hebrew people; can enter into those dry bones which then every bone joined to its bone, nerves, muscles, skin came up, but there was no Spirit in them; therefore, they were still dead.
But the Spirit was called, God commanded the prophet to call the Spirit from the four winds.
The Spirit returns to Israel under the ministry of the Angel with the Seal of the living God, the Angel with the Holy Spirit. That is the one who calls the Spirit and places and is placed in Israel.
[JBP] See how the Spirit of God returns again to Israel: it is through that Angel with the Seal of the living God.
[WSS] Under the ministry of this Angel will come all the blessings of God for the Hebrew people, as well as for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, the ministry of this Angel, of this messenger, has to do with Christianity and with Judaism as well, and has to do with all mankind, he will be a dispensational messenger, a dispensational prophet; of which there are only seven and this is the seventh dispensational prophet.
[JBP] Now notice how he shows us there that for the seventh dispensation, which is the Dispensation of the Kingdom, with that messenger is that He calls and gathers and seals the 144,000. And in that one is that those two sticks will be in the hand of the prophet, as it was reflected, represented in Ezekiel, chapter 37.
[WSS] After that dispensational prophet for the seventh dispensation, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, there will not be another dispensational prophet; with that one the Program of God will be completed.
And with that messenger the Church will obtain the faith, the revelation for each member of the Church to be transformed and then to be taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And with the ministry that the Holy Spirit will be operating through that Angel, 144,000 Hebrews will be called.
[JBP] Now see how that hasn’t been fulfilled. And if it hasn’t been fulfilled, then that Scripture of the seventh dispensational angel comes to have a faithful fulfillment, a real fulfillment, in this end time.
See also how that Angel that was in our midst, called and known by all of us: our dear brother William Soto Santiago, that powerful Archangel Gabriel, how God in him was also showing what that seventh dispensational angel would be.
[WSS] Reverend William Branham on one occasion said, “When this Angel begins to seal these Hebrews, the door of the gentiles will be shut (or will be closed).”
[JBP] See, it will already be closed by that time, because the number of the elect, we have seen that he ordered to close everything that was represented or was representing the Dispensation of Grace; all the things that had to do with the Dispensation of Grace are finished; therefore, already to become part of the Mystical Body of believers, that part was already closed; therefore, they are all already inside the House of God.
And already the next thing is the Rapturing Faith for the elect and sealing the 144,000. But that hasn’t happened; therefore, he was showing what he would later be doing.
[WSS] Remember that in Luke, chapter 13, verses 21 to 27, Christ says that the Door will be shut.
[JBP] And it is already closed. See how He was already talking there about something that was going to happen in the future, and we are now seeing and living in the present, where it is already done, it already happened.
[WSS] Therefore, we have to be alert with our spiritual eyes wide open, and our spiritual ears open to hear the Voice of God through His Holy Spirit on the Last Day.
He will be speaking to us through the Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God. And that will be the Voice that will shake not only the Earth but the Heavens also, it will be God speaking to His Church and then to the Hebrew people, it will be the Voice of God in the mouth of the messenger of the Last Day.
We will be listening to the Word that God will place in the mouth of that messenger, called the Angel who comes with the Seal of the living God.
[JBP] In other words, that Angel is the one that will be in human flesh, and will be the one that will shake, not only the Earth but also the Heavens.
Now, why? Look: How are the Heavens shook? Well, one of the things that will shake the Heavens is with the arrival there.
That is, how with the arrival there?
See, those ministries are also waiting there to return; and that happens before the great tribulation begins; because remember that Moses and Elijah, says the Reverend William Branham, that they haven’t tasted death.3
Now, you will say…, those who focus only in that the fulfillment of all these promises are in our brother William Soto Santiago, they have to see all the angles that God is showing with these Scriptures, to be able to comprehend, to be able to understand; although only those to whom God opens their understanding and the Scriptures will be able to see it; the others will not be able to see it.
But look, he is already gone; and the resurrection hasn’t happened.
Now, there is a very important key there, and it is that when they visit the sixth dimension (those ministries) it can’t be more than three days that they are absent from this planet Earth; because the Spirit of God will enter into them again, and they will arise4; in other words, they will only have a rest of three days.
And that is something very important that we must watch, so that you can understand and see where that promise and that Scripture is fulfilled, of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 3 onwards.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Look, in the book of The Ages, on page 228 [p. 209 in Eng.] (at the bottom), it says:
The man said, “We are resting here while waiting for the coming of the Lord.”
[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «Matthew 27:51-53».5
[JBP] That was when Jesus went to hell and then went through Paradise, to Abraham’s Bosom, and in the resurrection brought those from the Old Testament who had departed.
But how long was He there? Only three days; and then they resurrected.
See that what happened there at His First Coming will happen in the final fulfillment of His Second Coming.
And he also writes: [WSS] «Rev. 11:3-12».
And that is nothing less than the ministries of Moses and Elijah.
See, you are already seeing the picture and how the Scriptures have to be placed, and see them from the corresponding angles, in order to understand and see that mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels, and the coming and fulfillment of the seventh dispensational angel.
Because remember that the Dispensation of the Kingdom enters and goes up until the end of the Millennium, and then enters into that dispensation, which is the eternal one.6
Now, if we place by number…, because, for example, we can say that there are only seven stages and the Age of the Cornerstone: the eighth; but look, if we count the part of the apostles, then it would be part, the ninth stage.
It is like the messengers: we say there are seven angel messengers of ages, but if we count Paul – Peter (Peter was a prophet), Ananias (and not Ananias, the husband of Sapphira), Ananias was also a prophet, the Scripture says.7 And there would already be: 7, Peter (8), Ananias (9), and let’s say, some other apostle was also a prophet, and Jesus (10).
See? One can’t focus and stay with that part of Scripture that there are only seven messengers of ages, prophets (and some were reformers), and the eighth: the Age of the Cornerstone.
And we can also count, if we count, for example, the ministry of Moses, see how he writes there that Joshua is the second manifestation of the ministry of Moses: [(WSS) «1st Moses / Joshua = and 2nd Moses»]8. And brother William didn’t speak that, but it was there written.
Notice: Moses as one, Joshua as the second ministry, Jesus as the third ministry.
And notice that even in the book of Quotations, brother Branham says that the Angel told him that he had done as Moses9 (and it would be a fourth); and then he comes and the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ says that he is – that he has the ministerial spirit of Moses (that would be the fifth); and then we see here the Two Olives (that would be the sixth). In other words, when one comes to see, one sees different angles.
And let us say, we do not count brother Branham as that ministry of Moses, because he did not have it, rather he had done as Moses; but let us say that we removed it; because when he went to Israel, the Spirit of God and the Angel told him: [WMB] “It is not your time and it is not the ministry either,”10 in other words “go back”; because it says right there that Elijah goes there accompanied by the ministry of Moses.
Let us take out the part of brother Branham, to tell exactly where it was said that this ministry was. Look:
• Moses: one.
• Joshua: if we put him as the second one, because he wrote it there.
• Jesus: as the third one (if we count it), because in Jesus were all the ministries.
• The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ William Soto Santiago: in the fulfillment on that occasion of that Scripture, because an angel is a messenger. And in him, since it was God operating the ministry of the Son of Man with His Angels, therefore, that ministry was there; for it was God working through a prophet.
And He can minister the ministry that He desires to minister in that person, in that prophet, at the time that He desires. In other words, He can be operating a dispensational ministry at some time in past times; and at some time doing something that with that He operated the ministry of that prophet that already operated in the past.
Because, for example, “the sons of thunder,” they (ones that wanted to sit – that the mother wanted them to sit one on each side of Jesus, the request that the mother made), see, in a place where they didn’t want to receive Jesus, they said: “Do you want us to descend fire from heaven and consume them all?”11 See, that ministry of Elijah…; in other words, if that would have happened there and God would have allowed it, there would have been the ministry of Elijah operating. See? And so it is with the ministries and so is God working every time when He sends a prophet on Earth.
But look, let’s go back again:
• Moses: the 1st one.
• Joshua: the 2nd.
• Jesus: the 3rd.
• The Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ: the 4th.
• And the 5th: Revelation, chapter 11: that Angel that comes with the Seal of the living God, to call and gather 144,000 Hebrews.
See, there we have the five ministries of Moses. And on the other hand we see the five ministries of Elijah as well. See how God has everything very, very well programmed and has everything in order.
Us with the finite, small mind, we can’t see how great God is in His Program; but we thank God that He has given us that prophetic insight, that the finite mind of normal human beings doesn’t have, and that is why we now understand more clearly all that great mystery of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
And that mystery, because of that mystery and the cause of that mystery, made known, and given to the Church to comprehend it, is that she will obtain the Rapturing Faith.
That is why it is not something so simple, that is given or that has been fulfilled and when everybody believes in that messenger (in our dear brother William Soto Santiago), then with that they already obtain the Rapturing Faith. Well, they can’t stay up to that point. They have to receive the complete revelation of what is the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.
Now, I thank God that there are children of God, chosen of God, who have understood and have fully comprehended this great mystery of that seventh dispensational angel, this great mystery of Revelation, chapter 11, that great mystery of that dispensation that we see over there in the eighth, which is the Eternal Dispensation.12 See, these are mysteries that have now been opened in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.
And they are children of God, chosen of God, which are receiving that Rapturing Faith, because they are the ones that have that prophetic insight to understand, to comprehend, all those mysteries.
Now look at something here that I was reading last night… And in one place he had written: [WSS] «Moses» (later I will find it for you, but I didn’t find where I read it written; it must be in a study of those that were prepared for him and we were prepared for him here, or it was in a book); but he wrote: [WSS] «1940, the birth of the Deliverer: Moses».
See, because he came at that time to bring us out, to fulfill the deliverance, as Moses came to fulfill the deliverance of the Hebrew people in Egypt. And at this time he came to take us out of that kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of the gentiles, to place us in the Kingdom of Light; and so to take us also out of that denominational world. And all that was fulfilled.
But see, he placed there how in the time of Moses he had a birth, and began his ministry already afterwards.
For example, our brother William, in several messages tells us that he began his ministry…, if we can count after he received the Lord as his Savior when he was baptized, or a little later (he had said it was around 59 or 60, around that time, around that date); but then he began that ministry in 63.13
See that there are dates that he was already making known, where now all that has been spoken more widely and more clearly. Because do you see that when he began his ministry he came to do a work, which was shown and was done at the time of Moses with the deliverance of the Hebrew people from Egypt; and there was a trajectory.
But God was also preparing another person there, who already knew beforehand what was going to happen with Moses. When He struck that rock for the second time, He had to already have there that person who would introduce the people that Moses himself brought out. And He would also have dates in which Joshua was being born, he was preparing himself, when he was anointed and all those things, so that when the time came for God to use him, the man was already ready.
God always has the man ready, prepared.
Now look here what he writes in the book of The Seals, on page 192…
Now notice that Joshua came out with a certain number of years; and you have to see well there at what age Joshua came out (it is written down here in a place), and also on what date he was born; because all that reflects what will be happening in this time.
Because notice that He took care that also that instrument that He would be using would be born at the time when a new dispensational Message was beginning.
But it wasn’t that the Dispensation of Grace was already closing and the Dispensation of the Kingdom was beginning: that had a process and an interlace; but God was also preparing the man.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] That is in the book of Quotations also, in a place where he says that [WMB] “God trains man to do the Work…” Let’s look for it here quickly, that part. That is on page 26 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 218:14
218 – “32 And so we, tonight, want to think on that. And remember, that, in the midst of all this cry, God cannot send a revival till He’s got men in shape to take it… 33 And before we can have this revival, God has to call out and train men, God-trained men, to carry this Message.”
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone. And he also writes there: [WSS] «A man for a revival».
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And also in paragraph 286, let’s see here what it tells us, on page 34 of the book of Quotations:15
286 – “[36] When he’s getting his chew—schooling, his training…Yet, he might not be able to exercise all authority; he hasn’t got it yet. He’s still a son, but he hasn’t been placed. […]
[37] God placed on Him that robe of immortality, showing that He had received Him.
That’s the thing that God will do to His sons here on earth someday. He will call you aside, Church, if you’ll only obey Him and stay on the Word and believe it. And He will place into the Church, before the coming of Jesus Christ… He will place into the Church… All the powers that Christ had in Him will be in the Church.”
[JBP] And there he goes on…, you can read it all.
And he writes there: [WSS] «The garment of immortality».
«The adoption. Speak! and things will be created».
[JBP] And in the end… Let’s finish reading it, because look, it says [Quotations]:
286 – “[37] God wanting His work done, He sent it into His Son; the Son wanting the work done, sent it into the Church. “At that day you’ll know that I’m in the Father, the Father in Me, and I in you, and you in Me.” At that day, because the same power of God, was in Jehovah God, rested in Jesus Christ. The same power that rested in Jesus Christ, rests in the placed sons in the body of Christ.
38 Placing of a son… Take him out in a certain place, have a ceremony before Angels, and place him positionally what he is in the body of Christ. Then that person has the authority. Let me say this, if you count me a fanatic from this night on. That very same thing that I’m speaking of will be done. There’ll be a power put into the Church, and now is coming in, that the Holy Spirit will so anoint the people, till they’ll speak the Word and It’ll create Itself right there. We haven’t seen powers like’s coming into the Church now. I know it for a fact.
‘Say unto this mountain be moved. Don’t doubt in your heart, but believe that what you’ve said shall come to pass, you can have what you have said.’”
[JBP] Now, that is adoption, that is why above he writes: [WSS] «The adoption. Speak! and things will be created».
286 – “[38] …the placing of the Church in position, where the fulness of the power of the Holy Ghost comes into the Church ([JBP] and there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone). Then critics’ mouths will be shut. It’ll be a short time. Jesus come right off the mountain, went straight to Calvary. Notice, it won’t last long, but it’ll be here.”
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «Already adopted before the Coming of the Lord.
It will be a short time, a spare time».
[JBP] And this is the time in which we are living. It will be a time where the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be adopted.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now look here a little part in the book of The Seals, on page 192 [p. 228 in Eng.], it says:
8 Someone called today and said, that—that, called up and wanted to know if it was true, that, “When the—the Rapture taken place, there’d only be one in Jeffersonville and one in New York, and the rest of them overseas.” So, see, it just misunderstood. Then someone said, that, “Saturday night, if the Lord give to us the last Seal, then Jesus would be here Sunday morning.”
[JBP] That is, after “THE SIXTH SEAL,” look how people commented to him like that. He goes on to say:
[8] See? So it’s a—it’s a… You see, you—you don’t… That, that isn’t so. And you don’t… It isn’t.
9 We don’t know. If anyone tells you that they know when He is coming, you know they’re wrong, to begin with, because no one knows that. But we want to live, today, like it was right now.
10 I am going to kind of turn you around…
[JBP] Look, here he is going to say something very tremendous. And look at the writing in these two books that I have open here, from the book of The Seals. It says:
10 I am going to kind of turn you around for a minute, so be ready. I—I believe Jesus will come within, less than, three minutes from right now, of His time.
[JBP] Now, notice one thing: when the seven sons of Jesse passed by16, there was a short span of time where they had to wait there a little bit while they went to get that eighth one; because he said to him:
—“Have you no more sons?”
—“Yes, I have one over there tending to the sheep, shepherd of the sheep.”
And they called him, they sent for him.
That time there is very important.
Now, there we have the eighth one. See how it is also fulfilled in the eighth: for in the eighth —that is, in David— he was the one that sat on the Throne of God, see, there on Earth.
(Because the throne of David was the Throne of God. When Solomon sat on the throne of David, there it says that it was the Throne of God [First Chronicles 29:23]).
See, it was in that eighth son that the promise was fulfilled.
Now, see something very important: why those two sticks have to be in the hand of the prophet in this end time for the Son of David to sit on the Throne of David; and it is in the eighth.
But we had spoken of a seventh dispensational angel messenger and a seventh angel of an age. In other words, see it in all the angles so that the whole puzzle is put together, well put together, and not to place, as brother Branham says: [WMB] “To put the cow on top…,” it is an example that he puts: [WMB] “They put the cow eating on the top of a tree.”17 See, the picture will not come out well there.
And there has to be someone to put that puzzle together. And that can only be done by the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit.
It says [The Seals]:
10 I am going to kind of turn you around for a minute, so be ready. I—I believe Jesus will come within, less than, three minutes from right now, of His time. You know how long that would be? About thirty-five years. See, thousand years is only one day, with Him, you see.
[JBP] And he writes:
[WSS] «from Him ([JBP] that is, from Him, from God), a day like a thousand years of ours».
«The Coming of the Lord».
And he writes: [WSS] «30 – 35 years ([JBP] that is, 30 to 35 years) for the Coming of the Lord».
[JBP] And he writes something else.
And in this other book he writes: [WSS] «1963 + 35 years = 1998».
And he writes: [WSS] «35 years», on the other side.
And he writes: [WSS] «one day = one thousand years».
[JBP] Now see that around that date, around 2000, a stage began here in Puerto Rico; and then later, two years later, there was also an event that took place. You see that we must keep an eye on all of that so that we don’t overlook it.
Because brother Branham being the forerunner of the Second Coming of the Lord, he had to —with his Message— prepare and have the foundation, the platform, so that all that he was forerunning would be well foreshadowed; and so God’s people would be alert.
And through the Spirit of God, God would open his understanding and the Scriptures, so that at the end of time they could identify how he identified there the time that Samuel was there to anoint that son of Jesse, who was the eighth; they identified there – and he identified there, who was that character that was going to be anointed by Samuel.
In other words, there is always a time of identification.
And the people of God at this time must be alert so that they can identify these Scriptures being fulfilled in this end time in that eighth son of Jesse.
Remember that the Scriptures have multiple fulfillments and have multiple revelations. You have to look at it from different angles to make it fit.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say [The Seals]:
10 See, thousand years is only one day, with Him, you see.
11 So, when you hear the apostle back here say, “The time is at hand,” over here, “the time is at hand.” The apostle said that in Revelation. You know how long that’s been? That hasn’t… That was just yesterday ([JBP] that is, referring to the apostle John), to God, not even two days yet.
12 And, see, if it’s three minutes, less than three minutes of His Coming, see, that would be thirty years, about, to us, or something on that order. And look how, what three minutes would be to Him: He is already rising up, to come. So we, you… sometimes when you read here, He is speaking in the terms of the Word, see, not in our terms.
13 And then if I knew He was coming tomorrow night, tomorrow night, tomorrow I would study and ask Him to give me the Message for the Fourth Seal. And I’d come down here and preach It, just the same. See? I—I want to be doing every day just what I would be doing if He comes. And I don’t know no other better place than to be caught right at the post of duty, see, right at the post of duty. So we just keep carrying on till He comes.
[JBP] See that that is what you should follow… That is why I say… And when it happened, when our brother William was there, that they asked him if they should stop studying or if they stopped working, he told them: [WSS] “Keep studying, keep working.”
See, and I also recommend and exhort you to keep on studying and keep on working.
See that he says… “Tomorrow” he was going to preach “THE FOURTH SEAL”: [WMB] “And if He comes tomorrow, He will find me opening the Fourth Seal at my place of work,” that is, on the pulpit preaching.
And so each one must continue in the position of duty: working, laboring, because we have to fulfill the commitments here on Earth while we are in these earthly bodies.
Now, what we have already briefly spoken about all this, how God fulfills His Word…; and He fulfills it and has multiple fulfillments in the times, in people, in peoples, and also in human beings as individuals, which God reflects in past times.
And He can fulfill a Scripture several times when God sends or sends a prophet who is fulfilling that Scripture; and that other prophet can come and read that Scripture, and it is fulfilled in him.
And we can’t say: “No, that Scripture can’t be read by this person, because that Scripture was already read in past times by that prophet who came, and left.” But remember that the Scriptures have multiple fulfillments.
Well, we are going to give this talk here: from page 26 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 218, where he wrote:
[WSS] «A man for a revival».
That is the topic of this talk for this occasion.
Thank you very much, missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin, and all the ministers gathered there in Monterrey, Mexico, and in the different countries where you are listening to this talk of this occasion, under the topic:
“A MAN FOR A REVIVAL.”
May God bless you, God keep you. And we will be praying that tomorrow God will also give us all that corresponds to that introduction that we will be doing before the topic we have tomorrow, which is “THE MYSTERY OF THE DIMENSIONS.”
May God bless you and God keep you all.

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

And you can already see how God has been using the ministry that He placed since that time, and will continue to use it.
