Knowing the Word by Revelation
Knowing the Word by Revelation
Good morning to all those present, and also those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite or internet this morning, today Saturday, December 3 of this year 2022.
We open our Bibles in the book of Revelation, in chapter 1, where we will have this talk today and these biblical readings for our edification on this morning of Teaching.
Revelation, chapter 1, verse 1 and on, it says:
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel ([JBP] that is where he writes): [WSS] «William»1 unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
[JBP] There is no other way in which the Church has received this revelation contained in the Book of Truth, which is the Title Deed, but it is through His Angel, His Angel Messenger, who has brought to us all this Word contained in the Book of Truth. And we knew his name and we also knew him: our beloved brother William Soto Santiago, the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
THE TIME TO SPEAK THE WORD
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Sunday, November 17, 1974
Ponce, Puerto Rico
Now, it is very important to know; by revelation, not by the intellect; because if you know something from the Word of God by the intellect, when you try to put it to work: it doesn’t work. It has to be by revelation.
And when it is by revelation, you are not going to see if it works, but you know that it works; and you are not going to play with that Word of God, but when you have need of something, you already know what you have in your hands, and then you use it confidently.
[JBP] That is, you already know what it is you have in your hands.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message “CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED,”2 on page 16, it tells us:
[121] When you read, “In the beginning God created,” there is Christ. See? Every… From that, to the “Amen” in Revelation, is every Word testifying of Jesus Christ.
122 That’s why these added books that they call the Second Book of Daniel, and the—the Book of the Maccabees, adds purgatory and stuff like that, see, it’s not spoke of in the Scripture. See? It doesn’t theme up with the rest of It. There’s no place to place purgatory in there. There is no place to place intercession of saints, and things. There is no place in there for that. There is no place for a denomination. There is no place for—for a creeds outside of the—of the Bible. See? So when you see those things, they—they just don’t come into the picture. And that’s why people has added those, and got their—their—their jigsaw puzzle all mixed up. See? They can’t make it right, “same yesterday, today, and forever.”
123 But, if the thing is put together right, there is the entire picture of the fall and regeneration. The whole picture of creation, and God’s whole plan revealed right in Jesus Christ. Amen!
[WSS] «Having the whole picture».
That’s the whole picture set together, every little crook and corner. It’s just like… Now, I don’t mean to be sacrilegious by this, but it’s just like putting a jigsaw puzzle together.
124 That’s why we got pictures today that looks horrible. Say, “We are believers,” and the cow picking grass up in top of the tree. Don’t work. That’s when they say, “Yeah, He’s every way, but just of a certain… He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever, all but a certain thing.” See? Then you ruin your picture.
125 The Bible said He is the same!
[JBP] And also on page 30 in this same message it says [P. 30]:
212 Reveal, Webster says, is to “Make known. Make known, and, especially,” Webster says, “in Divine Truth,” that revelation means. The revelation, it is Christ’s way of making Himself known to His Church.
213 Now we’re going to say, “Now, Brother Branham, you’re just saying this.” Now, we won’t say, just say this.
214 Now notice, He made Hisself known to Peter. Now if you want to mark this down, and we… If you want to read it, we’ll—we’ll read it, if you want to, in Saint Matthew 16:15 and 17. I’ll quote it. When they come from the Mount Transfiguration, He says, “Who does man say I the Son of man am?”
[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «Revelation = to make known».
215 “Some says, oh, they think You’re ‘Elijah,’ and some says You’re ‘one of the prophets,’ ‘Jeremiah,’ or some of them.” But that wasn’t what He asked.
216 He said, “Who do you think that I am now?” Now there is the Church He is talking to. See?
“What does man think I am?”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «today».
217 Today, “He’s a philosopher; this social religion. He was a good man. We believe his teaching is right. It’s a subject to be lived by. I think it’d make us all better, if we did. We ought to have our churches, our—our so forth.” That’s a Santa Claus, like a Santa Claus story.
218 It’s not expressions of some church that we should express something. It’s a life that you don’t live yourself, but He comes in you and lives by Hisself, and you become a prisoner; to any human intellectual being at all. You’re led by the Spirit [WSS] «a prisoner». And how do you know?
219 Now, you say, “I might know I was losing my mind. Maybe a man that loses his mind does that.”
220 But if you have the mind of Christ, Christ expresses Himself through you, shows that it’s Him and not… you’ve not lost your mind.
221 Some people, under illusions of things, goes out and becomes insane. Well, that, we know that’s wrong. That’s the devil trying to impersonate the real thing before it gets here, see, always a bogus. See?
222 But a real man is to lose his own thoughts and his own thinking! Not come up blindly like that. No, sir. You come up with your right senses, and Christ takes you over and expresses Hisself. And now, to the world, you’re an insane person.
223 Now, if you’re insane, you’re actually insane, then there’s nothing… the devil can’t take you in complete control. He’ll make you do everything contrary to this Word.
224 But when Christ takes you over, He’ll express that Word right through you, because it’s Him. He is the Word! See? And then you can see the expression of Christ. Not some illusion of some sort, but a real genuine Christ expressing Himself right through you. How beautiful!
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «the Mind of Christ».
And also on page 34, of this same message, it says [P. 34]:
248 Paul only knewed Him by—knew Him by revelation. Peter knew Him by revelation.
249 He walked with Him, talked with Him. Therefore, you can set in this Word. Now, I’ve just said that He was the Word. Now, a scholar can sit down and read that Word till he can just tie your mind up in any way, see, if he wants to do it, ’cause he’s smart, brilliant. Get a Catholic priest, or, not so much as that, as a real good, trained theologian in the Bible. Brother, a Baptist, or a Presbyterian, or something, he’ll make you think that you don’t know nothing, see, when it comes to talk. What? See, because that he has knowed Him in the flesh, the Word. [Brother Branham pats his Bible—Ed.]
250 But the only way you’re saved is by know Him by revelation!
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «know the Word by revelation to be saved».
251 If I can take, I can take the Presbyterian doctrine and tie you Pentecostal till you won’t know. I can take the Baptist doctrine and show you Pentecostals a million things that you know nothing of. That’s right, but that’s not it. That’s not His Church. That’s not His Church.
252 His Church is Himself revealed, (Amen! Do you see it?) and expressed by the Word Itself, that He is God. See?
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And it also tells us in the message “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS #2”3 (of August 23, 1964), on page 22, it says:
95 Now, you say, “Brother Branham, then you don’t believe that a man should speak with tongues to receive the Holy Ghost.” Not to prove he’s got the Holy Ghost.
96 I would that every member of my church spoke with tongues. I would like for them to do that, and if… I believe if you ask God, God will grant it to you. But let me tell you; I know plenty people that speak in tongues and hasn’t got the Holy Ghost. And there’s not a minister that’s true with himself and with his congregation but what’ll tell his congregation the same. The devil can impersonate that.
97 Paul said, “Though I speak with tongue of men and angels, though I give my body to be burned as a sacrifice, though I understand all the mysteries of the Word, though I give all my goods to the poor, and all these things, and have not charity, I still am nothing. I have faith that I can move mountains and so forth; I’m still nothing.” Then he said, “That which is in part will be done away with when that which is perfect is come,” or, “when that which is perfect is made known.”
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone, and he writes:
[WSS] «to come = made known».
«That which is perfect will be made known».
WORDS OF GREETING TO THE LADIES
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Saturday, July 25, 2009
Santiago de Chile, Chile
We know that a Great Tent Cathedral was seen, where God manifested Himself greatly. But at the same time that it was revealed to him that this would happen in the midst of Christianity, it had also been revealed to him that the miracles and wonders would be for Moses and Elijah. Therefore, those ministries of Moses and Elijah are going to be there, in the part that corresponds to them to carry out.
In other words, for that promise to be fulfilled, the ministries of Moses and Elijah had to be there; and the one who was shown this Tent Vision to, only had the ministry of Elijah ([JBP] that is, Reverend William Branham in his fourth manifestation: the ministry of Elijah); therefore, the ministry of Moses was also missing.
And that is for the ministry of the Two Olive Trees and the ministry of Jesus for the end time, where great things are going to happen, and where also the plagues are going to be revealed, all that mystery of the plagues; and not only the plagues that already happened, but those that will be happening in this end time.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the book of “THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL,”4 on page 67 of this version, it says… reading the Scripture, it says:
[106] “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament ([JBP] Daniel, chapter 12); and they that turn away… that turn many to righteousness… the stars for ever…”
Listen! Here it is, the real, true sealing.
“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end:…”
107 What is it? Oh, hallelujah! Do you see it, class? This revelation of Jesus Christ, and of His Power, of His Coming, of the end time, was sealed up until this time. That’s what He come to do. It’s hid from the scholars.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The [7th] Seal of the Coming. The Coming of the Messiah».
[107] That’s what He come to do. It’s hid from the scholars; no wonder they want to apply, “sealing it up,” back yonder, to “no prophets,” and everything way back. It won’t hold water. But the vision, this vision, has been sealed till right here now. And there is where I’m placing my faith, that God will reveal them seventy weeks. Amen! “Seal it up,” He said, “till the end time. Close up the Words and seal the Book until the end time.”
108 What did He do? To seal up the vision and the prophecy! Daniel had prophesied these things. He had saw it in a vision, and the Angel come down to seal the vision, and to seal the prophecy. They can read it, but can’t understand it, until the end time. The end time, what is the end time? The end of the seventieth week, when that prince, antichrist, will be revealed, at this time, making himself God.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «666».
And he writes: [WSS] «When it is sealed = they can read it but not understand it».
[JBP] Like many: that they may read it all, but if it is not revealed to them, they can read it all they want, they will not understand; it must be by revelation.
And look here, him writing of this page, the meaning of 666, he writes: [WSS] «666 = the pope».
That is the antichrist, that is the man of sin, who at the end of time will be breaking that covenant that he will make with the Hebrew people. And he, with those ten kings, will make that war, as he did in the fulfillment of the First Coming of the Lord.
It is always Rome persecuting the Church, the children of God. It has been in His First Coming – it was in His First Coming and in His Second Coming he will do the same. It is always the devil persecuting the Divine Program.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say [“WORDS OF GREETING TO THE LADIES”]:
[WSS] All this will be revealed in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision. In other words, God has great things to carry out in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision. And that vision is promised to be fulfilled in the midst of the Church-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not in the midst of any group, but in the midst of the Church-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And that will be where the power of God will be manifested in all His fullness when the time comes; and what was seen in part, manifested in the Reverend William Branham, will be seen manifested in all His fullness.
In other words, the Tent Vision is linked with the Third Pull, with the Seventh Seal, with the Two Olive Trees, with all the other things. The faith for the rapture, the Seven Thunders, the Plagues, all those things, are linked to the Tent Vision.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the message “THE MASTERPIECE,”5 it tells us on page 38, it says:
178 Now you cannot be omnipresent without being omniscient. God is not even omnipresent; God is omniscient. Omniscient, which makes Him omnipresent, He knows all things. But, in order to be a Being, He has to be in one Being. By being omniscient—omniscient, He can be omnipresent. Cause, He knows all thing, and knowed it before the… He knowed, before the world begin, how many fleas, lice, how many bugs, and how many times they’d bat their eyes, and everything about it, see, ’cause He’s omnipresent. You can’t be omniscient—omniscient without being infinite. And there’s only one thing infinite; God. Amen! And then we…
179 What is it? It’s the devil, taking them right straight to that slaughter. Every one of them going in, exactly what the Bible said. And here it is, see, come right in amongst the Pentecostals, and just pull them right straight just as… What a time!
180 Oh, after that testimony, someone said to me…I—I… It was a good thing I didn’t say very much, ’cause they’d probably have me in jail up there. But I just thought, “There it is.”
The—the people who is taught, knows. “The wise shall know their God, in that day,” it said in Daniel. Yes, sir. See, “The wise will know their God.” They’re watching for these things.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «The people that is taught, will know their God».
181 But when I seen that happen, and them Pentecostals stand there with him! Even Oral Roberts looked at me like that. I said, “Oh, my!” Uh! But, standing up there with a education, polished, you know, and so forth.
182 That’s not the way God polishes His. He don’t polish His with education. He polishes in humility, in—in power of His manifested Word, showing of the shape of the Grain that It went from.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David.
183 Now, someone said to me, said, “Brother Branham,” said, “there’s one thing I can’t understand about you.”
I said, “What’s that?”
184 Standing out there in a hall… I guess, Sister Dauch and them, after I shook hands with Bill, and standing there; and all went around the corner, and the whole bunch of people. A minister pressed his way in, collar turned around, he said, “Why is it that you’re always bawling the people out?” He said, “Them people believe you to be a servant of God, and be gentle and sweet to them, and everything.” Said, “Every time I hear you get up, you’re bawling women out, about having short hair, and about wearing shorts, and wearing makeup, and all this other stuff; and bawling the people out, and tell them how cold and formal and indifferent they are.” Said, “Why do you do that?” Said, “Them people love you. How can you be a loving son of God and do a thing like that?”
I thought, “Lord, let me answer this smart man. See? You just let me answer him, somewhere, that’ll hang him on his own rope.” Yeah.
[JBP] Like they did with Jesus many times: They tried to catch Him on something, when they said: “The baptism of John is of God or of man?”6 and other things. See? Always trying to find a fault in something.
[184] I said, “Well,” I said, “sir, did you ever read of the great producer of music called… the great composer called Beethoven?”
He said, “Oh, sure, I read of Beethoven.”
185 I said, “He probably tore up wastebasket-fulls of scrap paper, but he give the world masterpieces.” He never opened his mouth and said another word. I said, “When he was setting in his study under the inspiration, he would write something down. He’d go into his study and pray. It wasn’t right, he’d scrap it up and throw it in the wastebasket. But when he got through, in all inspiration, the world had a masterpiece.”
Oh, how the Word cuts, but It produces masterpieces; uh-huh, takes all the husk and stalk away. It brings forth Masterpiece.
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and the arrow towards the Cornerstone.
[JBP] That is what the Word produces in the believer: A Masterpiece to be presented to God; so that He, upon seeing It may say: “They look so much like Me, that I will transform them.” That is the Masterpiece that is being prepared for Him, so that He dwells in Her.
Because if not, how will the Pillar of Fire descend in a little wooden room, if all the scum is not taken out and that gold is not well polished? The Presence of God can’t descend in Pillar of Fire, descending there, if the people is not prepared, if the people is not ready. Sanctity must descend upon sanctity; and it must be where there is sanctity.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Our brother William goes on to say here [“WORDS OF GREETING TO THE LADIES”]:
[WSS] Therefore, it is the greatest project of the Divine Program.
And even the group of the 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe, are linked there; and the Hebrew people are also linked to the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, because when they see the Lord working all these things, they will say: “This is the one we are waiting for.” See? That Tent Vision is linked to the Hebrew people as well.
That is why this Tent Vision and the fulfillment of it is so important. And that Tent Vision can’t be fulfilled unless it is with the group chosen by God to carry out that Tent Vision. It can’t be with the group of the first age, because that age has already passed; it can’t be with the group of the second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth, or seventh, because they have already had their time.
And, therefore, it will not be in the territory where those ages were fulfilled; it has to be in the territory where the Age of the Cornerstone will be fulfilled. It is as simple as that.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE INDICTMENT,”7 page 36, tells us:
210 The churches, if you don’t belong to their organization, they’ll say, “Ah, well, that’s some make up. That’s—that’s a hoax. Well, look down here at So-and-so and So-and-so.” But let them one time prove the real Thing to be a hoax. Uh-huh. Let them one time prove that It’s wrong. They can’t do it. It’s never been known to be wrong, and It never will be, because It’s God. See? But they like to point.
211 They think, “Oh, well, if it was some man with a great name!” Because it’s a little group, a little bunch that’s kind of outcast, “Well, we turned that person out of our church.” See? “They, they used to come to our group, see, but they went over with this, and they went over with that, and now, you see, they wind up…Well, look what it is, who it is.”
212 I don’t care. They could said the same thing about Peter, James, and John. “A ignorant and unlearned man,” they said. But they had to take notice, something had happened since that time. They had been with Jesus. That’s what made the difference. See?
213 They did it because they didn’t know Who He was. They didn’t know that the vindication of God’s Word wasn’t standing up there in that day… Now, it was at one day, and that was right; it was, at one day, just keep them laws and things. But the same laws that was, they was keeping, pointed them to a time that when He would come and be this Man that He was supposed to be. They had this part, but didn’t take the other part.
214 And that’s the same thing they’re doing now. They got a church, and they “believe in Jesus Christ,” and say they do, and things, but deny the hour we’re living in! ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «they ignore what God is doing». Still brings the old proverb back again: man always praising God for what He has done, looking forward for what He would do, and, or will do, and ignoring what He’s doing, and being condemned by it. See? They think, “God is wonderful. How great He is! What He’s going to do: He is going to come, and be a Rapture, someday, and go Home,” and denying the very signs and wonders right here at the time that the Scripture says that He’ll be doing it. Miss the whole Thing!
215 “If the blind lead the blind,” Jesus said, “they’ll all fall in the ditch.” Just pray God to open our eyes in this last days. All right.
216 Now, the same, they do the same today. They deny and crucify the same God, today, by not knowing Him. The same, by denying Him. And doing, by denying, the things that they’re doing today, they don’t crucify Christ again, exactly, but they blaspheme the Holy Ghost. And by doing it, they are ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «they blaspheme the Holy Spirit today». How do they blaspheme the Holy Ghost? How?
217 How did they blaspheme It there, back there? Why, they couldn’t blaspheme It then; It hadn’t come yet. They called Jesus, “Beelzebub,” called Him “Beelzebub,” because He could know the secrets of their hearts, and things. They said, “This is a devil.” In other words, “He’s a fortuneteller. That’s how He does this, is by fortune-telling. He’s nothing but a devil.” See, they hadn’t had a prophet in four hundred years, and they done growed out of it. See? They just had their laws. They said, “This is Beelzebub.”
218 And Jesus said, “I’ll forgive you for that, but when the Holy Ghost is come,” see, now, “you speak a word against It, and it’ll never be forgiven you.”
219 Remember, it will, and cannot, by no means, no mercy, when you blaspheme, and call the Spirit of God, the Word of God that’s being vindicated by the Spirit… See, the Word says so, the Spirit is a vindicating It, and you call It an “unclean thing,” you’ve crossed the line between mercy and judgment, and can never be forgiven for it.
220 That’s the reason I indict this generation, of guilty, of crucifying, blaspheming the manifested Son of God as was promised by all the prophets, and Christ Himself, to be in the last days; like it was in the days of Noah, in the days of Sodom.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The blasphemy against the Holy Spirit».
[220] Blasphemy! Which, they crucify, to the people, the Son of God afresh, His a vindicated Word. One word against It can never be forgiven.
221 Now what are you going to do then? What you going to stand? They are condemned, just waiting the hour of God’s wrath to be poured out. They’ll crumb them.
222 Loving doctrine of man-made denominations and dogmas better than they do the a vindicated Word of God; this generation of people. Oh! I—I just wish I had a long time for this. See? This generation of people, this generation spurns God’s revelation. But we’re walking where the apostles have trod. Right.
[JBP] When he says: [WMB] “The apostolic days are again or will again be given and fulfilled in the midst of the Church; at the end, they would be apostolic days.”8
[222] “‘God,’ you say? Well, others say that too.” God vindicates It.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The revelation of God in human flesh».
GOD PROVIDING IN THE END OF TIME
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Sunday, January 20, 2013
Cayey, Puerto Rico
Therefore, God will provide in the end of time for all that He has promised for His Church and also what He has promised for the Hebrew people, for the Jews, to become a reality.
The promise is that He will call and gather 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 from each tribe. God will provide the way: the way provided by God will be the only one that will achieve those results that are promised in the Scripture.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And look, there are many places where he speaks to us of that way provided by God for the fulfillment of that prophecy; but look at what he says in the message “THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS,”9 pages 49 and 50, he says:
[299] He said, “Is anything too hard for God?”
300 Notice what happened. Immediately she turned back to a lovely young woman. Showing, in there, portraying what He’s going to do to the royal Seed of Abraham, to receive the Son that’s been promised. She turned back to a young…
([JBP] He is speaking of Sarah, there in the time of Abraham).
301 Look, they went down into Gerar. And what happened? Abimelech, the king, fell in love with her, said, “She is fair and beautiful,” and was going to marry her. Is that right? Old grandma; and all them other pretty girls down there. Granny, “She is beautiful. She is fair to look upon.” See?
302 God changed her body, and turned them back. It’s a mystery that’s to be revealed now in this day, by the Son of man, see, the evening Message. See? Turned back! And that was the last sign they seen, was (what?) that discernment, before the change of the body come.
[JBP] And before that transformation comes, that discernment is in the midst of the Church; which is the fulfillment of the days of Ananias and Sapphira again, where God was discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart of all those who were there in the time of the apostles.
And that is what is happening before the transformation; the same thing that happened there too: before Abraham and Sarah were rejuvenated, there was One there discerning the thoughts. And there was a lie there, because Sarah said: “I have not laughed,” and: “You did laugh, but here, in the heart.” And God sees the intents of the heart.
[“THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS”] [P. 39]:
[302] …that discernment, before the change of the body come.
303 And before we can ever receive the Son, what happens? “The trumpet of God shall sound…”
[JBP] He writes: [WSS] «the Great Trumpet».
And he also writes: [WSS] «discernment before the transformation comes».
[303] “The trumpet of God shall sound; the dead in Christ shall rise first, a new body [WSS] «the new body»; and we which alive and remain shall be changed, in a moment, in a twinkle of a eye,” hallelujah, “and shall be caught up together, to meet the Lord in the air.” The secret has been made known; the Seals are open.
304 The Trumpet sounded for the Israel; the two prophets is ready to appear. What is it? The Church must get off the scene right now, so they can appear. He can’t deal with two at the same time; He never did. See?
305 Oh, brother, watch! Exactly, to call all, call them out of the denominations and traditions. Now we see the church of pentecost age is finished.
306 The Bride must step out of the way, to go up now; so the two servants, the two servants of God, in Revelation, the two prophets, can appear upon the scene, to sound the Seventh Trumpet to them, make known to them the Christ.
[JBP] He writes: [WSS] «Revelation 11:15-19».
And he writes: [WSS] «The Great Trumpet = the 7th Trumpet / makes known the 2nd Coming of Christ».
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say in the message “GOD PROVIDING IN THE END OF TIME,” he says:
[WSS] They may say: “Others came and tried, and couldn’t,” because they didn’t have the way provided by God, nor were they the instrument provided by God to carry out that work.
Even Reverend William Branham himself tried to go to Israel, but God stopped him, He told him: “Don’t go, it is not the time yet.” In other words, it would be later, but it wasn’t for his time. For the calling of the 144,000, knowing that the ministry of Elijah was in him, operated by the Holy Spirit, he thought that in that fourth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah would be the calling of the 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 from each tribe.
([JBP] Remember that that happens just before the great tribulation begins).
But then it was revealed to him and he understood, that the ministry of Elijah is not only four times that it is manifested, but five times; therefore, on the fifth occasion when the ministry of Elijah is manifested by the Holy Spirit, there it is, there is the way provided by God for the calling of 144,000 Hebrews, and for the ministry of Moses being repeated at the Last Day; that is another one of the ministries that are linked to the Hebrew people.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the book of The Seals…, let’s see where it is that they appear…, where he speaks of that fifth Elijah; because he perceived in the congregation, at that time… Page 312 [p. 368 in Eng.] of The Seals (at the bottom) it says:
315 These two prophets are Moses and Elijah, according to their works being re-patterned again. That, that has always been their ministry. Now notice, just as they did. That didn’t change them. Remember, these guys never died. Watch just a…
316 Now, don’t confuse, before we get away from this. Don’t confuse Elijah’s fifth-time ministry with his fourth-time ministry. I’ve been telling you, the Gentile Church is looking for Elijah. Right.
317 And here he is over here with the Jew. Remember, he can’t come four; that’s—that’s the enemy’s number. He has to be five.
318 The first time he come, he was Elijah, himself. Next time he come, he was Elisha. Next time he come, he was (what?) John the Baptist. The next time he comes, is for the seventh angel. And the fifth time he comes, he is with Moses over yonder, preaching to them. Sure. Yes, sir. Don’t confuse him.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And further on, page 313, at the bottom, it says [The Seals] [p. 369 in Eng.]:
325 When Elisha comes, of Malachi 4, he is by himself. Elijah will run; not Elijah and Moses. “Elijah” will arise. But the same inspiration, that, said Elijah will come for the last part of the church age, “to restore the Faith of the children back to the original Faith of the fathers,” the apostolic Faith, which you’re supposed to go back. And the antichrist has got them all pulled out. “To restore back,” as all the rest of the Scriptures has blended together. See, he comes by himself. See?
326 But when he comes to the Church, the Bible…or comes to the hundred and forty-four thousand, the Bible plainly states that both he…There is two of them, not one of them. Two of them! And his first ministry couldn’t take the Jews and put them back to the law, becomes he…’cause he comes, preaching Christ to the hundred and forty-four thousand, amen, “There He is, that Messiah that was cut off.” Amen! That’s it, so don’t have it confused. It’s not confusion. The Scripture don’t lie, not a bit.
327 Glory! Oh, when I seen that, I was jumping up! I said, “Thank You, Lord,” when I was watching it take place out there. Seen that Elijah walk out there for that first age, by himself, and he was by himself. Then when I seen him come again, way on over to somewhere else, there was two of them there when that took place. Said, “There it is. That, that does it, Lord. Amen! I see it now! Hallelujah!” That’s exactly.
328 If I hadn’t have mentioned it, it’d been a little confusion to somebody. But He—He told me to mention it, so I did.
And he writes there: [WSS] «Elijah will return with Moses».
And he also writes: [WSS] «Moses and Elijah preach Christ today».
329 Notice, these men are kept alive by God [WSS] «in the 6th dimension», from their original ministry, for future service [WSS] «5th Elijah and 2nd Moses»; they served it so well. See? Just think, that spirit of Elijah ministers five times; Moses, two. What? Keep alive for farther, further service.
330 They were neither one of them dead now; don’t you believe that. They were both seen, alive, talking to Jesus on Mount Transfiguration. But, remember, they must die.
[JBP] And that is Revelation 11, verse 13 and on; after they finish their ministry, there the beast kills them.
And he writes:
[WSS] «The 5 Elijah’s.
The 2 Moses’.
It is the ministerial spirit».
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say, where we left off here [“GOD PROVIDING IN THE TIME OF THE END”]:
[WSS] Elijah was a prophet for the Jews and gentiles, and Moses for the Jews; to the gentiles for judgment, to the Jews for blessing.
And now, we can see the way foreseen by God and provided by God for the Jews for this end time; that is why Malachi, chapter 4, says that Elijah will come first for them: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. Lest I come and smite the Earth with destruction, with a curse.”
In other words, there is a way provided by God for the Jews, for the calling of 144,000 Jews, where those who will be representing the lost tribes will be called. In ten of those tribes all the lost tribes will be represented; but the elect are called, the relics, in the Last Day; plus the elect of the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, which are the southern tribes, and the northern tribes are the ten tribes.
Now we can see that there is a way provided by God. Elijah was also a prophet to the northern tribes, and so was Elisha; and Moses to all the tribes.
Something great is on the way, something great is being prepared, something great has begun to move. Reverend William Branham says that it will be for a short time, but it will be here that which God has promised.
And those who will know God’s provided way for the end time, they are going to see it…
[JBP] [WMB] “A short time,” there is a part in the book of Quotations that talks about… or it may be [WMB] “a quick Message,” where is it that it says…? If you can find it we can read it.
This one too: 507, page 58 [Quotations]:10
507 – “[55] I believe that we still have great Light coming on now ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «Moses» that’ll just flood the earth one of these days for a short period, maybe just in a matter a months. But I believe that there’s great Light coming.”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «A Great Light is coming = the 2nd Coming».
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Page 157, paragraph 1407, it says [Quotations]:11
1407 – “94 I’m only building. The hour is close at hand when you’re going to see something happen, when something is going to take place. And all this background here has only been laying a foundation for a short, quick Message that will shake the whole nations.
95 Why I been picking on women, it’s just been laying up here for something that you can hit it right on the head, with it.”
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «[the foundation for] a quick Message will come and will shake the nation».
[WSS] «The Gospel of the Kingdom», he writes there.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] There is another one also. Let’s turn to page 7, to see what we find there. Page 7 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 59, says:12
59 – “10 But what I think the Lord’s going to make His Message so quick to the world is this: That He’s going to send out the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit that’ll just illuminate the whole world just in a few days’ time. I believe He’s calling a Church, pulling a people, getting them together for this great event that’s coming to pass.”
[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages.
And he writes: [WSS] «For the great Message with Moses and Elijah».
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Notice what he was speaking to us there [“GOD PROVIDING IN THE TIME OF THE END”]:
[WSS] And those who will know the way provided by God for the end time, they will see it, and they will be part of the people who will be receiving the blessings of God for that time, receiving the revelation of the Seven Thunders, receiving the revelation of the Seventh Seal, receiving the revelation of the Coming of the Lord for the Last Day, to give the faith to be transformed and raptured to the believers in Christ of the Last Day.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE FUTURE HOME OF THE HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM AND THE EARTHLY BRIDE,”13 on page 29, it says:
[193] The baptism of Fire, on it, only is to cleanse it and make it a fit place for His meek to live in. See? Oh!
194 Like He did us, His creation, to live in. Before He could come in it ([JBP] [WMB] “Before He could come in it,” that is, in His Church), He had to give us the baptism of Fire; then the Holy Ghost come in and live, baptism of Fire. Then, when you get that baptism of Fire, then the Holy Ghost can come in. What? As It does, It burns up everything contrary to the Word, out of you. See? It won’t believe nothing else but the Word, because It is the Word. See? See? See?
195 Now, that’s what we was talking the other day, the evidence of the Holy Ghost. See? The evidence of the Holy Ghost is when you can receive the Word; not some system, but have a clear understand. How do you know the Word is clear, understand It? Watch It vindicate Itself.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The evidence of the H.S.». And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and a little Star of David.
196 “Well,” you say, “I see this do it, and that.” Oh, yes, weeds live the same way. See?
197 But it’s got to be the entire Word ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «to be the Bride». To be the Bride, you have to be part of Him. He is the Word. See? And what a part of Him is it? The Word that’s promised for this day when He calls His Bride ([JBP] and he makes an arrow towards the Cornerstone and the ages). Be a part of That. You get it? Now, don’t—don’t lose that now. Notice.
And He makes it a fit place to live through Eternity.
THE PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
(Ministers Meeting)
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Thursday, February 5, 2009
Quito, Ecuador
In the Tent Vision, when Reverend William Branham had it, he said: “In this manifestation (he means when the Tent Vision is in fulfillment) will it be the time when the Name of God will be made known in a new form?” And the Angel also tells him on one occasion, and he explains it when he is explaining the Tent Vision: “Do you remember the Name that you were looking for when you had the Tent Vision?” In other words, there is a name involved in the promise of the Tent Vision.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And that is in the book of Quotations around page 26, paragraph 216:14
216 – “[4] …that has been promised would come into existence in the tabernacle here, before we hit the tent. Well, now, as far as I know, there was nothing no more than just… Just soon as I went in there ([JBP] that is, because he wanted to see what happened, and he entered into his office), the Spirit of the Lord came in, and It just started discerning the spirits, and telling the people of their troubles and so forth. […]
[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 ([JBP] that is, it would be the fifth ministry; because the ministry he had was that of Elijah). 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 ([JBP] “the others,” that is, the First and Second Pulls)… 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] He writes: [WSS] «The New Name = in the Tent».
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And there is going to be a lot of need in those days. That is why he said: [WSS] “That is going to fill up, that is going to become small for you,” because of all that is going to be happening in those days, where there is not going to be room in the places where that manifestation will be being manifested.
Because remember that every place that is under that same line: the prophetic line…, it will be being transmitted, and the same thing will be happening in those places. You will have no need to travel.
That is why it is good that you have the antennas, the screens, and everything well checked, for when that time comes; to not be running around, searching; but now we have that time. Those who haven’t done it, prepare it well, so that you can obtain all the benefits in that time; in which there won’t be any hospitals… He was telling me: [WSS] “All that is going to collapse because of the earthquakes and everything; and even what is left standing will not be enough.”
In other words, there is going to be so much need that when they hear of a place where God is working and where people are being healed: that is one of the baits that the denominational world is also going to be watching. They may perhaps start searching for it before; because there is hunger, and not for bread, but of hearing the Word of God. And that desperation that there is in the heart, because they see everything that is happening: they will be seeking of God, and they will find.
And there will be no place to go. The coasts, all of that, will be destroyed, flooded.
He would tell me in 2016, around the month of April (we were in the auditorium), he told me: [WSS] “Benjie, God again confirmed to me what in the decade of the 70s He showed me.” And he tells me: [WSS] “Last night He showed me again all that part of Guayama.” What is it they call it? “City of the Witches.” And they will receive a judgment there. He tells me: [WSS] “All of that: Guayama, Salinas, Santa Isabel; all of that entire coast, I saw all of it flooded. The water was also very high.”
In other words, you see? Where are people going to go? To the mountains, upwards. That is, it will be a very difficult time. And if that happens in the south, how will it be in the north! All those capitals and all of that will receive divine judgment. And we don’t know if that earthquake of Los Angeles, California, is the earthquake (most likely), as our brother William says, [WSS] “the earthquake of the resurrection.”15
In other words, all that time, where the Earth will be with its violent contractions and all of that, will cause humanity and every human being to seek more of God; and also, especially those of the denominations: the foolish virgins, the sleeping virgins, they will be running, looking for the way to escape. But what they will find is that they will have to take good hold of the Word in their hearts, in order to give their lives in the great tribulation.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Look, that is where… Where is it that he says: [WMB] “The Earth will start with its violent contractions and great shakings”? (It must be in “THE SIXTH SEAL”). Page 373 [p. 440 in Eng.] of the book of The Seals:
[391] …for we realize we have just a short time. And the Church might go at any time.
392 The Lamb might, at any time, leave the sanctuary up There, or the Throne of sacrifice, come forth from the Throne of God where the sacrifice lays, and then it’s over; there is no more hopes for the world; she is finished.
[JBP] Remember that the world will go on as if nothing, even if He is outside the Throne of Intercession, they will not notice. When they seek mercy, there will be none. That is why He says: [WMB] “There is no more hope for the world.”
But that doesn’t happen overnight; that has a lapse of time, which is the time where we are, which God has allowed us to be in now to polish ourselves: to take out everything that we have that is incorrect; and thus God, then, fulfill in us that great promise of transformation.
Because remember, the devil is no longer there accusing; because He has left the Throne of Intercession, he is cast out. That is why when I was saying to him: [JBP] “Yes, he has little time left.” He tells me: [WSS] “He has no more time left.” In other words, he was already kicked out, and he is no longer there to accuse.
Let’s see something there… Let’s leave this one for a moment here. There is a place where it tells us about that (if you find it quickly), where it says: [WMB] “The accuser of your brethren is cast out, he that accused them day and night…” Halfway on page 140 [p. 165 in Eng.] it says [The Seals]:
[352] Castro did. He done the only smart thing he ever did do, then, when he destroyed the bonds, paid them off and destroy it.
353 Notice, but we can’t do that. These guys won’t let it. The rich merchants of the earth hold it.
354 And then there’s only one thing to do. The Catholic church can pay it off. She is the only one has got the money. And she can do it, and she will do it. And in doing this, to get it, she’ll compromise with the Jews, to make a covenant. And when she makes this covenant with the Jews…Now, remember, I’m taking this from the Scripture. And now, when she does this, and makes this covenant, we notice, in Daniel 8:23 and 25, “he will cause craft to prosper,” and craft is manufacturing, “in his hand.”
[JBP] And we are going to… because there he puts… See how all these Scriptures… you have to follow the thread.
Let’s see what he tells us in The Ages edited, page 35 [p. 41 in Eng.] at the bottom; let’s see, it says here:
Now these 144,000 are not in the bride. In Revelation 14:4 they are called virgins and they follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth. The fact that they have not defiled themselves with women shows that they are eunuchs (Matthew 19:12). The eunuchs were the keepers of the bridal chambers. They were attendants. Notice that they do not sit in the throne but are before the throne. No, they are not in the bride, but will be in the glorious millennial reign.
We then see that when these last of Israel have been joined in love to the Lord, and the enemy has been destroyed, God will prepare His holy mountain, His new Garden of Eden for the bride and His and her attendants for the thousand year honeymoon upon the earth. As Adam and Eve were in the garden and did not finish out the thousand years, now Jesus our last Adam, and His Eve (True Church) will fulfill all the plan of God.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And on 35 as well, and 34, that entire page that he places there, it is good… later you can read it. Let’s continue reading here on 140; it says [The Seals]:
[354] And he makes this covenant with the Jews.
355 And, the midst of this, three-and-a-half years, he breaks his covenant, as soon as he gets the thing wrapped up, and gets the money of the Jews tied up. And when he does that… Oh, my! Oh, my!
356 He is called the antichrist until the end of the church age, for he is the… he and his children are against Christ and the Word. This man is called the antichrist.
357 Now, he is going to hold the money. And that’s where I think it’ll come in. Just a minute, when I say this, then I want to go back to it in a minute.
358 He is called the antichrist, and will be called the antichrist, in the sight of God, until the end time. Now, but then he’ll be called something else.
359 Now, when he gets the money all under control, “Then he’ll break this covenant with the Jews…”
[JBP] What we talked about a moment ago. Look, he writes: [WSS] «The pope breaks the covenant with the Jews at 21 months».
[359] …as Daniel here said he would do it, “in the midst of the last half of the seventy weeks,” of Daniel. And then, brother, what will he do? He’ll have all of the world trade and the commerce, a pact with the world, ’cause he’ll hold the wealth of the world, completely. And during that time, them two prophets will rise on the scene and call that hundred and forty-four thousand. Then what’ll take place? Then the mark of the beast, of Revelation 13, will set in, ’cause he holds all the commerce, trade, and everything of the world. And what will take place then? The mark of the beast will come in, that, “No man can buy or sell, except him that has the mark of the beast.” ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «Rev. 13» [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit three times—Ed.]
360 Thank God, the Church will be enjoying a great three and a half years in Glory, won’t have to go through that.
361 Now notice, at the end time, at the end of the church ages now, he is called…He and his children are called the antichrist, ’cause anything that’s against Christ is anti-Christ. And anything that’s against the Word is against Christ, ’cause Christ is the Word. Now he’s antichrist.
362 Then, in Revelation 12:7-9, when Satan is cast out, the accuser. You want to put that down, ’cause I want you to read it. We haven’t got time now; it’s close, twenty or fifteen till ten, see. But in Revelation 12:7-9, “Satan,” the spirit, “the devil,” which is up there now, “accuser of our brethren.” All right.
363 The Church is taken up, and Satan is cast out. When the Church goes up, Satan comes down, then Satan incarnates himself in the antichrist and is called “the beast.”
[JBP] And he writes:
[WSS] «Revelation 12:1-17».
«Satan incarnated when he descends».
[JBP] But remember that all that is before the great tribulation begins; because that squeeze begins with the Church, and then that is going to be directed, as our brother William says in a message: [WSS] “When you see that squeeze and that attack, and rather directed towards a Great Tent Cathedral, around there, watch, that that is already part of that beginning of squeeze.” And then it will become a persecution for the rest of the virgins and the 144,000.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] That is why on page 146 [p. 173 in Eng.], a little further on, he says there [The Seals]:
402 And at the same time that this devil falls out of Heaven and becomes incarnate in a man, the Holy Spirit goes up and comes down in carnate men.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And on 254 [p. 301 in Eng.]. Let’s read it from the top [The Seals]:
179 Now, we had him coming, last night, with his great sword, to kill.
180 We find out that he gets killed with the sword, too, the sword of the Word. God’s Word, sharp, two-edged sword, slays him, puts him right down. Wait till them Seven Thunders utter Their voices ([JBP] Wait until those Seven Thunders utter their voices; and what will happen?) to that group who really can take the Word of God and hand It there [WSS] «Moses and Elijah with the elect», It’ll slice and cut. And they can close the heavens. They can shut this, or do that, whatever they want to. Glory!
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Revelation 11 and 19».
[180] He’ll be slayed by the Word that proceeds from His mouth, is sharper than a two-edged sword. They could call for a hundred billion tons of flies if they wanted to. Amen. Whatever they say, is going to happen, because It’s the Word of God coming from the mouth of God ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah». Yeah. Amen. God, always, It’s His Word, but He always uses man to work It.
181 God could have called for them flies, down there in Egypt, but He said, “Moses, that’s your job. I’ll just tell you what to do, and you go do it.” He fully done that. See? He—He could have chosen the—the sun to call them, He could cause the moon to call it, or the wind to call it. But, He—He said, “Moses.” That—that’s… He chooses man. All right.
182 Now we find out here, that this Satan, after being kicked out of Heaven, incarnates himself in the beast. And now he is a beast; antichrist, false prophet, and now beast. And given the name of Death! And Hell follows him! Fully Satan, on his throne! [WSS] «a man».
[JBP] There in Rome, who is now called the pope Francis; and if that is the one that remains, well, it will be him; and if they remove him and change to another, then it will be the other one.
[182] Fully Satan, on his throne! Oh, my! On the earth, he is Satan, representative, on the earth, that he now is head of the kingdoms of the world, the very same kingdoms that he offered to the Lord Jesus in Matthew 4. Satan now becomes a full king.
[JBP] The kingdoms that the Lord rejected,16 there, the devil incarnated in the antichrist, the man of sin, in the pope, there he receives them temporarily; because it is a little amount of time that the devil has left.
183 Now, this happens later on [WSS] «later on he is the pale horse». He is false prophet now. He will become beast ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Satan incarnated / the throne = a man», after a while, when he breaks his covenant there with the Jews. You know how we… All right, notice now, he’ll be given a heart of a beast, at that time, and Satan will incarnate himself. Because, when the Church goes up, Satan is cast out. See? See? It’s done, then, it’s, all of his accusing is done. See? Now, as long…
184 Look, as long as the Intercessor is still on the Throne, Satan can stand there and accuse, because he is the attorney of the other side. He is the opponent of Christ. And Christ is… He is standing there, the—the—the opponent is standing there, saying, “But, wait! Adam fell! Adam done this! I conquered him. I got his wife to believe a lie.”
[JBP] He writes: [WSS] «opponent attorney. Satan».
And he also writes: [WSS] «Satan finishes as accuser».
([JBP] Page 255 [p. 293 in Eng.])
[184] And You said she would be damned by it. I got it!”
185 But here is the Mediator standing there, amen, the Kinsman Redeemer, amen, stand there with the Blood that can take the vilest sinner’s heart and change it. The Mediator is on the Throne. Yes, sir. Satan said, “But they’re guilty!” He can say, “They’re ([JBP] he writes there): [WSS] «are» not.”
186 That Clorox was invented, or manufactured, to take stain, take the coloring out of ink or any other stain. They got it. It’ll break it up till you never will find it again. It goes back to gases, and all the way back to cosmic light. And past molecules and everything else, till it turns back to the original where it come from. It’s a creation. Had… A creation, it had to come from a Creator. But all the chemicals that was manufactured and put together, they’re broke up, and that’s just all there is to it. There’s no more of it. Even the very—the very water substance it is, blends with the Clorox, which is ashes.
187 Amen! Glory to God! It’s all clean. That’s what the Blood of Jesus Christ does to the true child of God, when he confesses that sin and stands there, justified in His…Mercy! Goodness! Even it’s so great till God said, “I can’t even remember it anymore. And he is absolutely My son.”
188 “Verily, I say unto you, if you say to this mountain ‘be moved,’ and don’t doubt in your heart, but believe in what you’ve said, you…shall come to pass. You can have that what you’ve said would be.” You are a redeemed son. Amen! I know that’s true.
189 I’ve seen squirrels to appear yonder, on six different times…
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message “LOOK AWAY TO JESUS,”1 it says on page 13:
84 How many remembers about the squirrels? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] 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 ([JBP] it is what we talked about yesterday), 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, ‘Be moved.’” And you know the story, so I’ll bypass that.
[JBP] And that is Mark 11, around 21 to 24.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Page 255 [p. 302 in Eng.] [The Seals]:
189 I’ve seen squirrels to appear yonder, on six different times, that I knew, and not no more than would be sitting here. He’s just as… He can create squirrels the same as He can create flies, or frogs, or anything else. He, He is God, the Creator. Right!
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Creation of squirrels».
And he also writes: [WSS] «If you say to this mountain».
190 But when that sin of that mortal is confessed and dropped into that Clorox, of the bleach of Jesus Christ, It bleaches all sin. He is purely unadulterated, without sin, without fault. “He that’s born of God does not commit sin, for he cannot sin.” The bleach stands between him and God. How could it ever get there, when it breaks it up and sends it right back to the one who perverted it! Amen!
191 Whew! I feel religious. I—I tell you, I get stimulations now as this begins to reveal.
192 Notice, fully Satan, on his throne [WSS] «kingdom of the gentiles». Yes, sir. Offered it to God, offered it to our Lord ([JBP] he also writes): [WSS] «the throne of Satan». Here he is, sitting here, with this beastly heart in him. Now, here is the person, the beast, the incarnate devil ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the devil incarnate». He makes his appearing here on earth, under the false pretense. Oh, my, goodness! Under the false pretense of the true Word, he associates himself with the Word.
193 He did just the same thing that his—his type did, which was Judas, two thousand years ago. What did he do? Judas came in, as a believer, being a devil from the beginning. “He was born the son of perdition.” He pulled nothing over on Jesus, ’cause He knowed him from the very beginning; amen, for He was the Word. All right. And, remember, Judas took the place as treasurer, and fell by money.
194 So does the church of this day! The Catholic church, as we noticed last night, charging for novenas, charging for prayers, and charging for everything. It’s almost same, and fell the same thing to the daughters of the Catholic church, was the Protestants. The whole thing is wrapped up in money. There is where Judas fell, and here is where he fell, and there is where the Protestants fall.
195 Watch, rides a pale horse as he appears on his ride, this last ride. He’s on his last now. Now, that is not in our day. That will be on down. It’s the Seal, foretold ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «4th Seal is foretold». Cause, see, the Church has done gone up when this happens. When Christ appears here on earth, as—as—as… This fellow appears, and becomes completely, completely the devil; from antichrist, all the way down, through false prophet, then into the beast, the devil himself. And he is riding on a pale horse, colored all up, and mixed with all kind of colors, to make him pale and deathly.
196 But when our Lord appears here on earth, He’ll be riding on a snow-white horse. And He’ll be completely, fully, the Emmanuel, the Word of God incarnate in a Man. See? That’s just how much different there is in them. That’s the difference of them.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «(If the Word is to come, it must be to a prophet)».
And he also writes: [WSS] «God incarnate: Emmanuel».
[JBP] There we read some places where it tells us of all that. Then, later, we would have to speak of all that trajectory, since its beginning with the white horse, then the red horse, then the black and then the pale; that is, that trajectory of that rider, which is the antichrist in his different stages.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Let’s continue reading here where we left off… I am reading the message “THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM”:
[WSS] And therefore, that Name that he was looking for will be there manifested, and it will be the Name of God in a new form that will be revealed, where God will be revealing His Name in a new form.
Therefore, we are understanding why these wonders can occur under the fulfillment of the Tent Vision: because God and the manifestation of the Name of God will be there; everything will come to its fulfillment in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And that is where they will be opening, making known, everything related to the Trumpets and the Plagues; and where —through the revelation of the Seventh Seal, that will be opened to the public— the elect, the Bride will receive the faith, the revelation for transformation and rapture; because it takes those Thunders, that are nothing less than the Voice of God speaking in a consecutive way, the Voice of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, speaking consecutively. That is what Revelation, chapter 10, verse 1 and on shows us.
And He will be opening the mystery of the Seventh Seal by making it publicly known, the mystery for which there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour…
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] In the message “WORKS IS FAITH EXPRESSED,”2 look at what he tells us there on page 20 at the bottom, and 21; he says:
130 Oh, It should make you walk happy. That’s the trouble with we today, so much difference from the Christians of old. When the real, true revelation of Jesus Christ being Emmanuel dwelled in the hearts of those men, they were rugged people. But today we’re patted by denominations, with, “Oh, I tell you, they ain’t got the Revelation. You come over here.” You’re depending on their revelation. If their revelation isn’t according to the Word of God, then it’s wrong; mine or anybody else’s, that’s where the showdown comes. The Word of God tells which is right and wrong!
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The Word vindicates the correct revelation».
131 Any seed has to have its ground, of course. “Therefore, all He foreknew…” See, He already knew what was going to happen. Notice, Jesus said again, about the Seed, “Some fell on rocks, others in mixed grounds.” See, over where there’s thorns, thistles, and everything else, It couldn’t grow. And others on good ground, good ground, good soil, which had been prepared, already prepared.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «the ground = people».
132 All the man out here, he’s like as a chicken, he’s looking along, trying to find. He hits into this, and he hits into that, but after a while there comes a sudden Scream from Heaven. He recognizes It right quick, “That’s the Word of God!” See, he knows It because there’s something in his heart that’s been told to him, revealed to him about It.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The eagles, the chicks, the cry».
133 Notice, the prophet Isaiah said, “A virgin shall conceive.” What a strange saying. How a—a man in his right mind could say that? ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «the virgin shall conceive» ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David). There had never been a virgin conceive. “A virgin shall conceive!” Now, he didn’t worry about saying It, he just said It. How’s she going to do it? Well, that’s not his business! He… It’s just to say what God said it was going to do. God revealed it to him, showed him the vision; revealed it, and it was right.
134 Just the same God that told me that little baby would be born by that man who couldn’t have the child, or have a girl. Like others and things, how it sounds strange when the doctor says, “It can’t happen!”
135 But when God says, “It’s going to happen,” it depends on what kind of a word that falls in ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «it depends on where that Word falls». Remember, the prophet stood up there and His Word went forth.
136 Like God, in Genesis 1, He said, “Let there be light. Let there be this. Let there be that.” Created man in His Own image, image of God created He them, male and female, and there was nothing on the earth yet. Then, we find out in Genesis 2, here, He made man in His Own image. There was no man to till the soil, after the rest the creation. What was it? It’s His Words, He was speaking It. And when He spoke, He said, “Let there be light.” There might have not been light for eight hundred years afterwards, might not have been no light, but He said It! And as long as He said It, “Let there be a palm tree. Let there be an oak tree. Let there be this,” them seeds was forming down beneath that water. That’s right. And in the season, in the time, in its own season, it brought forth! It can’t fail; it’s God’s Word. It just can’t fail. It’s been expressed.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The thought, expression and the materialization».
[JBP] Notice, first it comes to the thought, then it is spoken, and then it is fulfilled, materialized, made a reality, that thought; but it had that process in order for it to be fulfilled, to be materialized, to be quickened, and then be vindicated.
[“WORKS IS FAITH EXPRESSED”]:
137 Now, one day, God talked to man, face to face. But in time of Moses, when the fire was falling, they said, “Let God… Let Moses speak; not God, we might perish.”
138 Therefore, He said, “I’ll not speak to them like that no more. I’ll raise them up a prophet.” ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David). That’s the way God’s system always was.
139 Now, here’s a prophet standing; now, he’s under inspiration; he isn’t thinking about his intellectuals ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the intellect», “Now, wait a minute. If I’d say that, well, you know, the people would think I’m insane.” See, that’s his intellectual; there he’s listening to Satan, just like Eve did.
140 And as long as the doctor says that, “You can’t live. You can’t get well. You can’t do this or that.” As long as you listen to that, that Seed will never fall in that kind of ground and do any good. It can’t. But when something tears all of that away, and It falls in that bedded ground, there’s nothing can tear It out.
[JBP] And there he writes: [WSS] «The seed and the ground: you in your subconscious, the soul».
141 Now, no matter how long it takes, it’s going to happen. Now, He said, “A virgin shall conceive.” Did you know it was eight hundred years before that happened? God foreknew the woman, who she’d be, what her name was, where that Seed would fall into. Do you believe that? Sure, He did! And from a literal womb would come forth this great miracle. God knew about it, He just revealed it to His prophet who was faithful and spoke the Word. Without even thinking about what It was, he just said It. He never tried to reason It out.
142 If you try to reason out…What if this man, this woman, or this man setting here, or somebody try to reason, “Now, I been crippled all these years. The doctor says, ‘There’s not a possible chance’”? Well, there might not be as far as he knows, and that’s true.
143 But if something can tear away them weeds, if God by His grace; not the preacher, not nobody else. But God can place into your heart a revelation, that, “I’m going to be well,” there isn’t nothing going to keep you setting there.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The revelation is in the soul».
And he also writes: [WSS] «It must be revealed here», and he draws a circle, and another big one, and another bigger one; and in the center he makes an arrow up to there, and he writes: [WSS] «soul»; in the one in the middle: [WSS] «spirit»; and in the one outside: [WSS] «body».
[WSS] «Soul, spirit, body».
[143] …nothing going to keep you setting there. There’s nothing can hold you there, you’re going to be well! But until that does happen, you’re going to set right where the doctor says you’re going to set; until that happens. It has to be revealed. It’s the grace of God that reveals it.
144 Now, notice, God knew the woman It would come to. Notice Isaiah, there was no question. Isaiah didn’t say, “Wait a minute, Lord! Let… Wait just a minute! What did You say to me, ‘A virgin is going to conceive’? Well, now, now wait, Father, there—there—there never was such a thing as that done.”
145 He didn’t hesitate, he just said, “A virgin shall conceive!” Right.
146 Notice Mary: “Now, now Lord, wait a minute. You know, I—I never knowed a man. This is impossible! Nothing like this never happened! Ohhh, oh, no, nothing like this never happened. How am I going to have this baby? I don’t know any man, so it can’t happen! Uh, Angel, you’re just mistaken. I’ve got an optical illusion. You know, my church says, ‘These days are gone.’” Nah! It would never have fell in such a place as that. Mary never questioned.
147 She said, “How can it be? I know no man.”
148 He said, “The Holy Ghost shall overshadow thee. That’s how it’s going to happen.”
[JBP] He writes: [WSS] «Mary», a Star of David, a Cornerstone and the ages.
149 She said, “Behold, the handmaid of the Lord!” No question!
150 See, Isaiah, when God produced the Word by thought (revelation) into the heart of Isaiah, It fell into the right grounds, it was a prophet. That prophet didn’t care for any man’s wisdom. He didn’t care for any man’s intellectual. He didn’t care about the person of anybody. He was a dedicated channel to God, and God spoke and he spoke. That’s all. Whether it hurt, whether it didn’t; whether it sounded crazy, whether it didn’t sound crazy; didn’t make any difference to him. It was God, not the man.
[JBP] And he draws a Star of David, and also the Pyramid and the ages.
And he writes: [WSS] «The Word, by the thought (revelation in the heart, the soul)».
151 And when that Word went forth, now It becomes a Seed, It has to fall somewhere. If God said It, there’s bound to be a womb somewhere for It to fall into. Just as He said, “All things are possible to them that believe. If you say to this mountain, ‘Be moved,’ and don’t doubt in your heart, you can have what you said.” See, there’s got to be somewhere that’s right!
152 Notice! Now, we find that Isaiah here spoke It.
153 The virgin Mary, as soon as… The grounds was already broke up. She had been a virgin.
[JBP] And always have on your mind: The virgin Mary represents the Church-Bride, which already has the ground ready.
[153] She hadn’t “run around.” The grounds had been already prepared, or predestinated by foreknowledge of God.
154 Even said, “She was a virgin.” Right then God knowed what her name would be. For her name was on the Book of Life in Heaven.
155 Then, It was vindicated. Man then (to man) saw the expression of It by the works, when it was already done. Now we look back and say, “Sure, It was done,” ’cause we see the works that was done.
[JBP] And there he, referring to those pages, he writes:
[WSS] «The business of the Lord Jesus was to make known what God had promised for those days, which was being fulfilled; it is the same today».
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say in the message “THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM,” says:
[WSS] …the mystery of the Coming of the Lord as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work.
That is why in Revelation, chapter 10, Christ, that Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven cries out as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders utter Their voices. It is the Voice of Christ, the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Voice of God, the Voice of the Archangel, speaking to His Church and opening to Her these mysteries pertaining to the end time.
And all that is contained under the Seventh Seal will be known by the Church-Bride, that will be transformed.
There will also be the mystery of the New Name of the Lord, because His Coming, says the Reverend William Branham: “Now, I see Him coming with a new name.” Look how the Church has to wait for the Coming of the Lord.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] On page 131 [p. 151 in Eng.] it says [The Seals]:
283 And, Jesus, His Name on earth was “Redeemer,” Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing.
284 It’ll be revealed in the Thunders. Uh-huh. See? Notice the mysteries. He is coming, riding… There’s got to be Something to change this Church. You know that. There’s got to be Something. Notice, “No man knowed, but Himself.” Now, notice, “No man knowed, but Hisself.”
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name was called The Word of God.
Oh, my! Notice!
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he tread the winepress of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God [WSS] «Revelation 14:14-20».
And he had on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
285 There comes the Messiah. There He is…
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on to say [“THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM”]:
[WSS] There is not going to be a problem for the Jews because they don’t want the name Jesus, because under the name Jesus in the Inquisition they were persecuted. So, with the Jews there is not going to be a problem, because they are waiting for the Coming of the Messiah with the Name of God; and the Name of God is going to be in the fulfillment of the Coming of the Messiah for the Jews.
The Name of the Messiah will be the Name of God, the same Name that was revealed to Moses; but God hides His mysteries and His Name when He wants to hide it; and He knows how to do it.
So, we are calm, we know that for the fulfillment of the Tent Vision there will be the Name of God, the New Name of the Lord, the Name of the City of our God, all that will be there manifested.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the message:
GOD’S VISITATION, THE GREATEST BLESSING
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Sunday, June 30, 2013
(Third activity)
San Salvador, El Salvador
In Revelation, chapter 22 as well, verse 16, it says:
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”
See? This Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the Reverend William Branham says that it is a spirit of a prophet, and says: “It could be or it may be Elijah,” he says he is a prophet.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And in the book of The Seals, we left off…, it was marked here. We didn’t finish 373 [p. 440 in Eng.], let’s finish it; it says:
[391] … for we realize we have just a short time. And the Church might go at any time.
392 The Lamb might, at any time, leave the sanctuary up There, or the Throne of sacrifice, come forth from the Throne of God where the sacrifice lays, and then it’s over; there is no more hopes for the world; she is finished. Then she goes into flusterations, of great spasms of earthquakes, and—and great shakings like it was at the resurrection. And—and, the—the…
393 As Christ rose from the grave, when the saints rise, the same thing will take place. Lord, it could be at any minute. We’re watching for that glad day to arrive.
394 Take Your children under Your arm, Father, now. Draw Your little lambs to Your bosom. Grant it. And feed them on the Word, till they’re in strength for service.
[JBP] See that it will be a time of earthquakes and great shakings; and all that will follow in a staggered way, until that great earthquake that will sink Los Angeles, California, and all that there; because in the majority of the coasts is where the sin is the most. And almost always in those areas like that is where in some places are the capitals; but in that place (that they even named “Los Angeles”), all that is going to be destroyed.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Let’s see 301 [p. 354 in Eng.] from the book of The Seals… 300 at the bottom, it says:
[194] Now, if this is the last time, there’ll come an eagle, right, and to that. Now, remember.
195 Now, in the days that the lion came, the original Word, about one-hundredth of them listened to the lion ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «Lion».
196 In the days that the—the ox came, just a teeny little drop of them listened to the ox message.
197 In the days that the—the man come, he worked among men, you see, so He was shrewd. He got a little group out.
198 And what did they do? Satan seen that, so he just sends them right back and marries them into it.
199 And remember, when the eagle finally comes, it’ll be one hundredth of one percent that’ll listen. It’s an eagle age.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Per 100 Lot [foolish], 1 Abraham [wise]».
Per 100 foolish: 1 wise.
And he writes: [WSS] «1% of those who listened».
[199] And then even Jesus predicted, “If He didn’t hasten His Coming, there wouldn’t be any flesh, at all, saved for the Rapture ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone and the ages).”…?… Is that the Scripture? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] You see where we’re at then, don’t you, brother and sister? [“Amen.”] See where we’re at?
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Rapture. Hasten His Coming».
[JBP] And further down, about halfway down, where we are going to get to, it says [The Seals]:
201 Have you caught anything? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] I just wondered if you was. See? Yes, sir. I might not have to tell you then, Sunday. Notice. Notice. Wonderful! Now, now, notice now.
202 And then according to the—the time that God was going to deliver the antediluvian world, He sent the eagle.
And time He was going to deliver Israel, He sent the eagle.
203 Do you believe that the time, even on John, on the Isle of Patmos, this Message was so perfect that He couldn’t trust It with an Angel? You know, an angel is a messenger. But do you know the messenger was a prophet? You believe that? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Let’s prove it. Revelation 22, let’s see if it was a eagle. Yeah. See, he was a… Sure, he was an angel, he’s the messenger, but it was a prophet that revealed this whole Book of Revelation to him.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «the Angel who revealed the Revelation to John was a prophet».
205 Watch what John seen here.
…I John saw these things, and heard them. […]
…And when I… heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed these things, which showed me these things.
207 And, “he,” then, “the angel,” see.
Then said he to me, See thou do it not:…
208 No true prophet would be worshipped, or messenger of any kind, see. That’s to God alone.
Then said he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
209 See? Now, the Book was so important, that, It is the Word of God. Now watch. And when the Word of God is brought forth, It’s got to be brought by the prophet, because that’s who the Word of God comes to.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 7:2, 11:3-7, 14:1».
«The prophet is the one who brings the Word».
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And where is it that it says: [WMB] “Moses will be the same person”? In The Seals. Let’s go to page 326 [p. 374 in Eng.] (they tell me here):
454 When Elijah’s spirit comes upon the man, it will drive him just like Elijah. He’ll go to the wilderness. He’ll love the wilderness. He’ll be a hater of immoral women. He’ll be against organization. He’ll pull no punches for nobody. And that’s just… That’s, that’ll be his spirit. It was, each time it come, see.
Moses will be the same person.
Now, and we find out, in Revelation 22:8, the same thing.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The Angel who showed John all things is a prophet, is Moses».
Look at the complete picture there, that brother Branham tells us about this Angel.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He goes on saying [“GOD’S VISITATION, THE GREATEST BLESSING”]:
[WSS] And after the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ with the spirit and power of Elijah, there will come the ministry of Elijah, of Moses and of Jesus, as was shown on Mount Transfiguration. Between the fourth Elijah and the fifth Elijah, and the second Moses or third Moses, and the ministry of Christ after the fourth Elijah, there is nothing else: only Elijah, Moses and Jesus in the greatest visitation that the Church has ever had.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Now, there is a place of a Bible study, of the message “THE MORNING STAR,” and he makes a drawing there…
[JBP] And in the gap… he draws seven stages, and he draws a star in each one of them; he draws seven stars, and in the breach he places another one, and in the Cornerstone he places another one.
Look, and he writes: [WSS] «The stars aligned».
And he places on: [WSS] «East» which is the [WSS] «Outer Court»; and he places the seven stages, and places one on the breach; and places one in the Cornerstone, and he writes: [WSS] «Most Holy Place, West».
And there are other places there, that you would have to follow that whole line. Because remember that to crown each dispensation: there is always one that goes out and stops between the dispensation that is ending and the beginning of the other; because it always comes at the end of a dispensation.
And all of that, we are going to show everything that he wanted to show with that drawing; because there is a series of Scriptures and quotes, that we would have to take just one day to follow all that line that he wrote there, which opens up the whole picture for us. One of the ones he places is:
Revelation 2, verse 26 to 29:
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
[JBP] And remember that the Morning Star is Christ in His Second Coming.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Let’s continue here, he says [“GOD’S VISITATION, THE GREATEST BLESSING”]:
[WSS] For the Jews the coming of Elijah will be a man of the end time proclaiming the everlasting peace; therefore, we have to watch him proclaiming the everlasting peace, he is the one who will know how the permanent peace will come.
And if we lived in the time of Moses, in that time when he was with the people of Israel in the wilderness, anyone could say: “I see a people camping in such and such a place; and I see a man there, going in and out to a temple, to a tabernacle; I see a man coming with a tabernacle and a people”; that is Moses, a dispensational prophet who received the revelation to build a temple for God, a tabernacle with badger skins, a tent, a tabernacle.
Therefore, we will be watching for the promised Moses, who will be a man like Moses was: a dispensational prophet. And what catches our attention is that he came with a temple, with a tabernacle, where God was manifested; a man in whom the Pillar of Fire was veiled and who knew the Name of God that was revealed to him.
And we have the promise of the Two Olive Trees, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah for the end time, shown on Mount Transfiguration, each of them appearing at the Lord’s side.
[JBP] And further on in that same message he says:
[WSS] (…) In its fourth manifestation it had to do with the Church, in the fifth manifestation it will have to do with the Church and with the Hebrew people. That is why He comes with Moses, because Moses was the giver of the Law.
And Israel will see Christ coming for His Church, for Christ has promised to come for His Church, which is the Angel of the Covenant that descends from Heaven in Revelation, chapter 10, with the little Book open in His hand, the Book sealed with seven seals; and crying as when a lion roars, because He already has the Title Deed and already brings it open to His Church; for which He has to have an instrument, a prophet, to whom the Word can come, to whom Christ can bring the Title Deed. And that is a very important event, because without the Title Deed the resurrection and the rapture can’t take place.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And to conclude, let’s read this little part here (we will leave the rest for tomorrow). Look, the message, in “THE EVENING MESSENGER,”3 page 16 says:
91 Therefore when God sent forth His prophets, His messengers of the Testament, He spoke to one man, and that man had to bring the Message. Others went from him, everywhere, bringing the same Message. But there had to be one headquarters ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «headquarters». God has always had it. I’m thankful He has got it tonight; that’s the Holy Ghost, of course, we all know. Now, not some group, but the Holy Spirit is God’s Headquarters. That’s God’s Messenger of the hour.
92 Now, for it is, to the prophet that the Word always come, if they are a true prophet of the Word, God vindicates His Word by that prophet.
93 Now, there’s been many false prophets, we’ve had them all through the ages. We go back to the Old Testament, see them raise up and speak in the Name of the Lord, and it was—wasn’t right. God would have nothing to do with it. He never vindicates nothing but His Own Word. Anyway, He wouldn’t run His business like that. See?
94 You just remember, God only vindicates His Word! ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «God vindicates His Word» And only a true prophet is… And the only way you can tell whether he’s true or not, is by the Word. That’s the way to judge him.
95 Now if you notice, like in the days when—when Micaiah, there stood up four hundred Hebrew prophets, before Ahab and Jehoshaphat, and said, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, ‘Go on up and prosper.’” Fundamentally they were right. Then Micaiah was called on the scene, the one that they all hated. Now, it looked like if… Four hundred (I—I don’t mean prophets of Baalim) Hebrew prophets stood up with one accord, and said, “Go on up to Ramoth-gilead, the Lord will bless you and you’ll prosper.” And those man wasn’t hypocrites, they were absolutely inspired! But their…
96 Then why would this one little fellow come in by the name of—of Micaiah, who was the son of Imlah, and come back and prophesy contrary to them? Now, that taken nerve, it taken conviction. See? But how did he know he was right? If you were standing there, how would you know it? The only way you can do, is take what the man says and compare it with the Word. See? Now, Micaiah was exactly on the Word, because Elijah, that great prophet who had the Word of the Lord, had just cursed Ahab and Jezebel and all. See? And how could God turn around and bless what the curse was on? See, so it just couldn’t work.
[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «how to know who he who tells the truth».
97 Now, we find out that God vindicates His Word. The prophet’s word, if he is a prophet, then it’s… he’s speaking according to the Word. The Bible said in one place, said, “If they speak not according to the law and prophets, there’s no Light in them.” Then call… Then this messenger calls out the called-out Ones. He is right by the Word of God, proves that he’s right.
[JBP] The same as sister Hattie Wright: When she spoke the right word, see how God vindicated that word, telling her to ask for whatever she wanted: [WMB] “Ask for anything.” She assented with an “amen” the prophet’s Word, she believed the prophet at that time; and the Holy Spirit says to brother Branham: [WMB] “Tell her to ask for anything, anything she wants.”4
And see how at this time the Bride will speak the right word. She will believe; and the moment She asks, God will fulfill that petition: the petition of all God’s children is the transformation. That is why we must know how to ask; but in order to ask we must receive and believe, because that is where the Rapturing Faith is. She said the right word; and there was nothing she asked for that God wouldn’t fulfill, for saying the right word, for accepting His prophet at that time.
So shall it be with us: We will believe, and speak the right word for our transformation; and thus be taken to our heavenly Father’s House in the rapture, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
God promised it; and since it is a promise, He will fulfill it.
And we as ground: fertile ground that is prepared to receive what we are going to ask for, God is going to fulfill it; our transformation is going to be a reality in our lives, by receiving and believing and speaking the right word.
“KNOWING THE WORD BY REVELATION.”
That is the subject of this little talk of this occasion.
May God bless you, may God keep you. And tomorrow we will be here again to praise God, glorify God, and receive the corresponding message for tomorrow.
May you all have a very good day. And may we continue meditating today on everything we talked about; and so tomorrow we will arrive with that favorable environment to receive all that God has for tomorrow.
With us Reverend William Perez; and so with a song, then we will be dismissed in prayer.
God bless you and God keep you all; and thank you very much for being here this morning, sharing this talk of the Word of God.
Until tomorrow, God willing.
God bless you all.
