BIBLE STUDY #515 – SUNDAY, MAY 11, 2025

Second activity

Valencia, Venezuela

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Good morning, beloved brethren and friends present.

Thank you very much, Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin. May God bless you greatly and continue to use you greatly in the Work of God at this end time in favor of the entire ministerial Body and the entire Mystical Body of believers, of His Church-Bride of the Age of the Cornerstone and the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

To all those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite and the Eutelsat 8 satellite in the different countries, and to all those who are present from different places in Venezuela and other countries that are with us on this occasion: may God bless you, and may He open our understanding and open the Scriptures to us today so that we understand His Word; and may we leave this place filled with God’s blessings.

Congratulations again for Mother’s Day: May God bless you all greatly.

On Reverend William Branham’s website: Voice of God Recordings, meaning, Grabaciones la Voz de Dios, there’s an article where it says that Venezuela was the first country in Latin America that accepted the Message of Malachi 4:5. In other words, notice, Venezuela was… that article says there (you can search for it on that page), it was the first country in Latin America to receive the Message of the forerunner.*

Now look, in the message of “BALM IN GILEAD,” Reverend William Branham says:

[61-0218 - “Balm In Gilead,” pp. 1-2, paras. 7-10]

[7] This is such a grand privilege to assemble in service of God. And you know, about time we get all the funny feeling drove away, then it’s about time to leave, you see. When we come in, and just constantly in saying, “How do you do?” and then the ministry is all new, and I’m new, and first thing you know it takes a little while to get us all kind of acquainted with one another, let the Holy Spirit move among us to see that we’re brothers and sisters, you see, that there’s nothing wrong with us, and we’re just God’s children.

8 And the ministry that God gave me, why, it’s for you, and it’s love, expressions of love. And then we say, “Bye-bye,” and take off up to somewhere else. And I tried, I can’t think of that name of that place, I call it…Billy said, “Where you think we’re going, Daddy?”

9 I said, “Venezuela.” That would be a long ways away, wouldn’t it? But however, we been to Venezuela, been over, we never had services there.

10 But—but we’re expecting the Lord willing…

[JBP] Meaning to come, now: Today, under My new ministry, I am here in Venezuela. This day this Scripture is fulfilled: Elijah in Venezuela.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Let’s search in our Bibles, in the book of Acts, chapter 1, verse 1 and on, where it tells us:

Acts 1:1

1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

[JBP] And he writes : [WSS] «40 days», and a Star of David.

4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

[JBP] And he draws a Star of David there.

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «East», and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «West».

9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «24th day of the 2nd month».

THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

BECOMING INCARNATE AND WORKING IN HIS CHURCH

Dr. William Soto Santiago

Sunday, March 22, 2009

(Second activity)

Minatitlan, Veracruz, Mexico

Scripture: Acts 1:1-9

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE CROWNING AGE,” Dr. William Soto Santiago tells us, which was preached on August 3, 1978 in Fusagasuga, Colombia…

God bless this people.

He tells us:

THE CROWNING AGE

Dr. William Soto Santiago

Thursday, August 3, 1978

Fusagasuga, Cundinamarca, Colombia

Now, remember that He reigns by the Word.

And so, He reigns by His Word; and all those who belong to His Kingdom then follow that Word: they live according to that Word, according to the laws of God; because God will put His Word on human lips so that the Kingdom of God then walks in perfection, lives as It must live.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of The Seals, on page 249 [p. 286 in Eng. (Fourth Seal)], Reverend William Branham tells us:

134 And I think, any born-again Christian is kind of an oddball, to—to the world, because you’ve been changed. You’re from another world. Your Spirit is from across the chasm. And this thing here is such a messed up thing, you’re—you’re not different, there’s something wrong; you, you’re still too earthbound. You ought to be Heavenly-minded. And Heaven lives by the Word.

135 Now, we notice that this—this great thing taken place. Now, we believe that there is to be a coming of the true Spirit of Elisha. It’s predicted it would be, see. And we must remember it’ll be here, in its own season and time. We may be laying a foundation for it now. And it no…won’t be no organization.

136 I—I disagree with a good friend of mine, on that. He says it’ll be a group of people. I want you to show me that by Scripture.

[JBP] On the right he writes: [WSS] «Elijah: it won’t be an organization».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the book of Quotations, Reverend William Branham tells us on page 129 of this book of excerpts of messages preached by Reverend William Branham; he says, page 129, paragraph 1149:

[64-0719M - “The Feast Of The Trumpets,” pp. 34-35, paras. 264-267] [Bible Study #237, 11/Sep/2022 (Sunday), pp. 11-12 / Bible Study #389, 25-2/Feb/2024 (Sunday), pp. 35-36 / Study “Breaking all barriers,” 28/Sep/2024 (Saturday), pp. 8-10]

1149 - “[264] From the seventh angel’s (messenger of the Seventh Seal) Message in Revelation 10, was the Seventh Seal ([JBP] above he writes): [WSS] «The 7th Seal = is Rev. 10», to the Seven Trumpets, between those two times…

265 O God, how can we say This, to make the people see It?

266 It’s between that Sixth Trumpet, and the Sixth Trumpet and...The Sixth Trumpet and the Sixth Seal sounds at the same time. And between the Sixth Trumpet and the Seventh Trumpet, there is a prophet to appear before the Gentiles, to call the people back to the original pentecostal Doctrine; and the two witnesses of Revelation 11 appear to the Jews, to send them to Jesus, while the Church is being taken up ([JBP] and there he draws a small Cornerstone on the left). All of them, prophets! Amen! ([JBP] Meaning, being taken up where? To the Age of the Cornerstone). The Word of the Lord cannot be broken. It won’t be a denomination! ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «Moses and Elijah» Do you see it?

267 Read in your Book here and see if that between the Sixth and Seventh Trumpet isn’t injected in there, let the Jews being called out…”

[JBP] And there on the left he draws a Star of David, next to “It won’t be a denomination!” Which is what he is telling us over here in the book of The Seals. On page 249 [p. 287 in Eng. (Fourth Seal)], let’s continue the passage there; he says:

[136] God, the unchangeable God, never does change His plans. If He does, then He isn’t God ([JBP] there he writes): [WSS] «God is unchangeable» ([JBP] on the left upwards); that’s right, because He’s a mortal, and He knows just like I do, and He makes mistakes.

137 God has never changed His plan, since the very time in the garden of Eden. He made a plan for redemption; that was the Blood. And we’ve tried education. We’ve tried dictatorship. We’ve tried psychology. We’ve tried denominationalism. We’ve tried everything, to push everybody together, or love everybody together, and everything else. There is no other place of fellowship but under the Blood, yet, the only ground that God meets man.

138 God always deals with one individual. Two men has got two ideas. There never was two major prophets on the earth, prophesying the same time. Look back and see if there was. No, sir. Too much scrupled up! He’s got to get one man completely surrendered, and use that person.

[JBP] There on the left, upwards, he writes: [WSS] «God works with one man alone».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And look, in the book of Quotations, on page 91, paragraph 791 tells us…, which is this portion that we’re reading, to see what he wrote there. Halfway through the paragraph:

[The Seals, “The Fourth Seal,” p. 287, paras. 136, 138-139] [Bible Study #310, 26-2/May/2023 (Friday), pp. 43-45]

791 - “[136] God, the unchangeable God, never does change His plans. (…)

138 God always deals with one individual. Two men has got two ideas. There never was two major prophets on the earth, prophesying the same time. Look back and see if there was. No, sir. Too much scrupled up! He’s got to get one man completely surrendered, and use that person. He searches for that person.

139 But there will be one, sometime, somebody who will listen to Him, Word by Word.”

[JBP] And there on the right he draws a Star of David.

And below he writes: [WSS] «Never two major prophets at the same time [dispensational ones]».

And upwards, on the left, upwards he writes: [WSS] «The Angel of Jesus».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues saying where we paused here: on page 249, at the bottom [The Seals] [P. 287]:

[138] He searches for that person.

139 But there will be one, sometime, somebody who will listen to Him, Word by Word. I don’t care what anybody else says, they’ll never move from It. That’s right. They’ll wait on THUS SAITH THE LORD. And, then, they won’t move until then. He’ll be properly a vindicated. You’ll…

140 Now, the outside world will hate it, but the elected Seed, the predestinated Seed, like there was in the days of Jesus, when that Light flashes, that Seed will come to Life like that. They’ll know It ([JBP] there he writes on the left): [WSS] «the Light». They’ll understand It. You won’t have to say a word about It.

141 She said, “Sir, I perceive that You’re a Prophet. I know when Messiah comes, He is supposed…”

He said, “I am He.”

142 Boy, that, that was enough. She didn’t have to tarry all night, and tarry the next night. She had It right then ([JBP] meaning, the whole fulfillment was in Jesus). She was on her road. She was telling them about It.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues to say here, in the message “THE CROWNING AGE”:

[WSS] Now, notice that we will then be in the Kingdom and He will be as King, but we will be there, not in the literal sense, but rather in the spiritual sense; because in the literal sense it will be in the Millennium, and in the Millennium, well, things are already be in the literal sense; but at this time it is in the spiritual sense, which is greater than in the literal sense. Remember that the spiritual is always greater than the literal; and that we find that the things which are seen are not made of things which do appear [Hebrews 11:3].

Well, and where will the Millennial Kingdom emerge from and be made of? Of the Kingdom that is unseen, which will be established in each of the elect, in the heart of every elect; and there He will then be crowned as King of kings and Lord of lords.

And in the group of elect, in the elect as a group, in that age, He will be King of kings and Lord of lords; and His Word will be heard, brought forth, and practiced by those who belong to the Age of the Kingdom; and the Message that He will bring us in the Age of the Kingdom will be the Message of the Kingdom.

And as the Message of the Kingdom, then It won’t be the one of the first dispensation, nor of the second dispensation, but rather of the Dispensation of the Kingdom, which is the third dispensation. And then, in [this] that Message, in the Gospel of the Kingdom, will be everything that the people of God need, for what? To receive everything that God has promised to the people of God.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, in the message “BLASPHEMOUS NAMES,” on page 18, Reverend William Branham tells us:

[62-1104M - “Blasphemous Names,” pp. 15-16, paras. 114-120] [Bible Study #267, 25/Dec/2022 (Sunday) pp. 47-49]

114 Now, here is interpretation of her dream. She was bothered about the Holy Spirit. Now, insomuch that she seen the box on top of the mountain, was the rock. Rock box, is rock, “confession.” ([JBP] and there on the left he writes): [WSS] «Rock of confession» Now, like Jesus said in the Scripture. He said, Peter said…“Who,” Jesus said, “who does men say I, the Son of man, am?”

“One said Thou art ‘Elias,’ and ‘Moses,’ and so forth.”

And He said, “But Who do you say I am?”

He said ([JBP] meaning, Peter), “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

115 Now, some people say now, the Catholic church says, the Roman Catholic church says, that His con-…“What the rock was, that Jesus said, ‘Upon this rock I’ll build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against It.’” They said, “It was upon Peter. And Peter was that rock, ’cause Peter means ‘little stone.’ ‘Upon this little stone I’ll build My Church.’” And upon Peter, they, apostolic succession, they built the church.

116 Then the Protestant church says, “That’s wrong. That, it was upon Himself He built the Church.”

117 Now, not to be disagreeable, but, I, to my way of seeing it, it’s both wrong. Because, he never built It upon Peter, neither did He build It upon Himself, but it’s upon Peter’s revelation of Who He was.

[JBP] And that was the beginning of the Dispensation of Grace. And in the Dispensation of the Kingdom, the foundation is upon the basis of the revelation of who the Son of Man is in His Second Coming.

[117] See?

“Who does man say, I the Son of man?”

[JBP] And he writes there on the left upwards: [WSS] «Upon this Rock = the revelation of Who Jesus is».

[117] “Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.”

118 “Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonas. Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,” some seminary, see, “but My Father which is in Heaven has revealed to you. Thou art Peter. Upon this rock of confession, upon this revelation, I’ll build My Church.”

119 And that’s been, each church age has had that rock confession, on up to this rock confession of the Laodicea.

120 And, now, you cannot make a holy church. There is no such a thing as a holy church or holy organization. The Holy Spirit can be preached in it, but in there you find good and bad, renegades, indifferent, and everything else. So an organization will not hold.

[JBP] Now look, on the right part upwards, in two sentences, he writes: [WSS] «Every age has been built upon a rock (“revelation”) of confession».

[120] You can’t say, “We got It. None of the rest of them has It.” No, sir. The Holy Spirit is poured out on individuals. It’s the individual.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, Dr. William Soto continues to say here, a bit further on in this same message “THE CROWNING AGE”:

[WSS] (…) Now, you can see that the great privilege is given to the group who lives in the Second Coming of the Lord, who lives in the Stage of the Mind, the Mind of Christ, which is Christ Himself fulfilling His Second Coming and bringing us the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is also the Message of Jubilee Year, in which deliverance is proclaimed for the people of God and judgment for the world; so He has to present Himself as the Judge, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

Seeing all these things at this time, knowing then that this is the time of crowning, [in other words] it is the time when the age in which we live is the Crowing Age. Therefore, She is [already] crowned with what? With the Message of the Thunders, She is crowned with the Second Coming of the Lord, She is crowned with the baptism of the Holy Spirit in all Its fullness.

Do you know what the baptism of the Holy Spirit in all Its fullness is for the group of this time as a group? Do you know what it is? As individuals, the baptism of the Holy Spirit in all Its fullness, as individuals, for the person as an individual, is the fullness of the Spirit of God in the person.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the message “TOKEN,” we have already seen that it’s for the Crowning Age, the age where the Thunders, with the Message of the Thunders, She is crowned. Now, notice, in the message “TOKEN,” on page 15, Reverend William Branham tells us:

[63-0901M - “Token,” p. 20, paras. 137-139] [Bible Study #293, 26/Mar/2023 (Sunday), p. 6]

[137] It’s God’s requirement of the hour. The evening-time Message, is to apply the Token.

138 Satan has throwed all kinds of counterfeits, of shaking hands, and evidences, and everything like that. Forget it! The hour has arrived that the Token, Itself; not some counterfeit, make-belief, substitutionary, anything.

139 The hour is here when the Token Himself is identifying Himself right among us, and proving that He is the same Jesus yesterday, today, and forever, and He’s right with the Word. It’s got to be applied. A man that says he’s got the Token, deny this Word, then what about it? See, you can’t do it. The Token has got to be there. “When I…The blood shall be a token unto you.” ([JBP] and there he draws a Cornerstone on the left) Now the Holy Spirit, the Life that was in the Blood, is a Token unto you. Get to it in a moment, see. The Holy Ghost is the Token. The case is closed. Yes, sir.

[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «the Spirit incarnate», on the left upwards.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he also goes on to say here, in this message “CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED,” on page 50, Reverend William Branham tells us:

[63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,” p. 50, paras. 377-382] [Bible Study #378, 19-2/Jan/2024 (Friday), pp. 28-32]

377 Now He sanctified, with His Spirit and Blood, a Church, that He might make every promise in this last day be revealed ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «reveal today». Now, see, He could go back and pick up what these other fellows has left off here, in the last days, and by His Holy Spirit reveal all the mystery of the Seven Seals. See, He is expressing Himself. That’s His purpose. That’s why He died. That’s the second fold of His threefold manifestation. First, to express Hisself in Christ ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «1», then [WSS] «2» express Hisself through the Church. And the same thing, Christ was the Word ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «3», and the Church becomes the Word when it lets the Word go through them.

378 But when they accept a hybrid denomination, how can the Word go through it? It’s grounded, then it causes a short and blows a fuse. See?

379 But when the current is flowing freely, the Word of God, It expresses Itself ([JBP] how is the Word expressed? By His children). “The works that I do shall ye be, also.” And in the last days it shall come to pass: “Behold I send to you Elijah the prophet, and he shall turn the hearts of the—of the children back to the Faith of the fathers.”

380 And in there, there would be a time come forth when He could express Himself in fullness of His Godhead, Deity, through His Church, have the preeminences in this Church. Oh, my! What? The anointed Man; now the anointed people; oh, my, to bring back the anointed Bride and the Bridegroom. Anointed by (why?) accepting what Eve turned down, and Adam ([JBP] what did Adam and Eve turn down? He says:); coming back with the anointing of the Word, because He said, “My Word is Spirit.” See, anointed with the Word. What Eve turned down, He comes back ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Title Deed»…

[JBP] Meaning that in His Coming He has to come - He had to come with the Title Deed.

[380] … and we accept.

[JBP] There he writes on the left: [WSS] «God incarnate».

And he writes on the right upwards: [WSS] «The anointed ones with the Word».

[380] … and we accept.

381 See how that hybrid condition, again, just exactly what he done Eve.

382 He told Eve, “Don’t you do this, and don’t you do that; and you can do this, and that.”

[JBP] And there at the bottom he writes: [WSS] «Today the Bride accepts what Adam and Eve turned down (which was the Word, the Title Deed)».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here, in this message “THE CROWNING AGE”; he says:

[WSS] But as a group, the baptism of the Holy Spirit for the group as a group, as an Age, do you know what it is? The Coming of the Holy Spirit in human flesh, that is the baptism and that is the crown for that age.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this writing from a Bible study in 2003, Dr. William Soto left us this writing there… in 2004; in 2004 he left us this writing below the Scripture of Matthew 25, verse 1; and there he left us this writing:

[WSS] «The Holy Spirit is the oil for the person; it is the baptism of the Holy Spirit that brings forth the new birth in the Kingdom of Christ, of God in His Church».

[JBP] I’ll reread that sentence:

[WSS] «The Holy Spirit, the oil for the person, it is the baptism of the Holy Spirit that brings the new birth into the Kingdom of Christ, of God in His Church».

Another sentence: [WSS] «The Holy Spirit, the oil for the Church-Bride, is the Holy Spirit incarnate in a man redeemed by the Blood of Christ in the midst of His Church».

[JBP] Meaning, a member of the Mystical Body of believers, one of the redeemed.

I’ll read it again:

[WSS] «The Holy Spirit, the oil for the Church-Bride, is the Holy Spirit incarnate in a man redeemed by the Blood of Christ in the midst of His Church».

And that is the Holy Spirit in the group, as an age.

And another sentence: [WSS] «In the apostles and in the 7 angels it was in a portion; and in His Angel it will be in all His fullness, and that is the Holy Spirit incarnate in a man».

I’ll read it again:

[WSS] «In the apostles and in the 7 angels it was in a portion; and in His Angel it will be in all His fullness, and that is the Holy Spirit incarnate in a man».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“THE CROWNING AGE”]:

[WSS] We know that there is only one Holy Spirit, and do you want to see what the fourth Elijah tells us? He says: “But there is only one genuine Spirit of Christ, and [He] that is the Word made flesh, as He promised to do so.” [65-0725 - “The Anointed Ones At The End Time,” pp. 33-34, paras. 202, 204]

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And in this study from 2003, that’s where he writes:

[WSS] «Just as every person must be born again, the Church must also be born again: She must receive the Holy Spirit incarnate in a man…».

[JBP] And it can’t be, and couldn’t be, during the Dispensation of Grace; it had to be under the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

[WSS] «Just as every person must be born again, the Church must also be born again: She must receive the Holy Spirit incarnate in a man; and She will be the young Bride passing by again, as W.M.B. saw in the Age of the Cornerstone».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now in this message “RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE,” he tells us on page 9, where he narrates this vision of the Bride there…, also in “MASTERPIECE” and “IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN”; but let’s see here first: in “RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE”; page 9, at the bottom, he says:

[64-0726M - “Recognizing Your Day And Its Message,” pp. 8-9, paras. 40-47] [Bible Study #282, 17-2/Feb/2023 (Friday), pp. 20-24]

40 And remember the vision of last week, that when the Bride came to be…preview of it. There came up the little Bride, lovely, in the vision. And I, not thinking about it; just setting there watching outside. And there come the Bride. I heard a Voice by the side of me, said, “Here is a preview of the Bride ([JBP] and there on the left he writes): [WSS] «the 2nd Bride».” And She came by.

[JBP] Below he writes: [WSS] «The Bride that was born on the Day of Pentecost was a Jewish Bride».

[40] And She came by. I noticed Her, the way She was, very lovely, pretty, young. She was walking just the step as She could, not a march; just in the stride of a—a woman, how they walk gracefully, ladylike. That’s the way She was walking, coming to my left on this side ([JBP] there he writes): [WSS] «The Bride = left», and She went out of my sight.

41 Then He turned me to the right side, and He showed me each church as they’ve come up out of the ages. And, oh, how vulgar! And the last one was this last-day church age…

[JBP] And he writes above that: [WSS] «Pentecostals – Laodicea».

And on the left upwards he writes: [WSS] «Laodicea – right».

[41] … which was led by a witch ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Rev. 13: – A witch leads Laodicea». And they were so immorally dressed, so filthy-looking! And they were marching to the time of twist and rock-and-roll. And those women throwing themselves just in twists, with holding just paper, gray, hypocritical, the wor-…The gray is between a white and a black, which is a deceiving color. Gray is neither white nor black. It’s a deceiving color. And gray-looking paper, holding in front of them, with lace-like hula skirts holding in front of them, and completely nude from their waist up. And was marching to the…or time, or twisting, and carrying on with that music, walking up. And said, “That is the church.”

42 And when it passed by me, my heart like to fainted. I thought, “If that’s what is trying to be presented to Christ, as a Bride? Of all the efforts and things that man has put forth, to try to bring forth a Bride for Christ; and a vulgar, dirty, filthy-looking prostitute like that to be the Bride of Christ?”

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this message “THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD,” there he tells us:

[57-0417 - “The Second Coming Of The Lord,” p. 12, para. 63] [Study “Joy Among the People Because of the Coming of the Ark of the Covenant,” 20-2/Nov/2024 (Wednesday), p. 63]

63 The church better be examining theirself by the Word of God, our purity, our loyalty, our devotion. We’ve become tattlers, talebearers, cigarette smokers, backbiters, painted-up Jezebels, everything in the calendar that the rest of the world does, the Christian church is associating in those things today till you can’t hardly tell the one from the other. It’s time we took inventory. It’s getting late.

[JBP] Remember Joshua reviewing, making the roll call, before going into the promised land. [Joshua 8:10]

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say, in “RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE” [P. 9]:

[42] It made me sick at my heart.

43 And as she passed, after she…Coming before where we was standing, she was holding the paper in front of her, twisting, and rocking, and moving herself one side and then the other side, as she went, like the modern dances they have of this day, using herself in an immoral act as she was marching on.

44 I’m not responsible for these things. I can only say what I seen. And God as my Judge, but that was the church from U.S.A.

45 Now, as she passed by, the whole back part had no covering at all. And then as she passed by, I felt faint and sickly.

46 Then He said, “The Bride will come into preview again.” And here the Bride came behind her, the very same-looking Bride that passed at the beginning.

[JBP] Now, at the top, in the margin above he writes:

[WSS] «The Vision of the Bride».

«The 1st Bride — the one of the Day of Pentecost».

After he writes: [WSS] «The churches – the ages».

And then he writes: [WSS] «The 2nd Bride — the one of the Year of Pentecost».

[46] Then my heart jumped for joy, to know that there will be a Bride. And She will be made of the same thing, and clothed in the same thing, that the One was at the beginning. She is to be called.

And I know that is the Truth. If that isn’t true, then every vision that I’ve had in the back has been wrong. And anyone knows, that, not one thing has He ever told us but what was the Truth. It come to pass, just…

47 And can you see, then, the filthiness of the modern church, calling herself a “church”?

[JBP] There he writes on the left upwards:

[WSS] «The Bride passes twice:

The 1st time — the one of the Day of Pentecost.

The 2nd time — the one of the Year of Pentecost».

[JBP] What he wrote at the top, he wrote it again here.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Also here, in this message “MASTERPIECE,” he also speaks to us on page 40, and he narrates a bit more information. Look, he says:

[64-0705 - “The Masterpiece,” pp. 33-35, paras. 189-199] [Bible Study #455, 13-2/Oct/2024 (Sunday), pp. 17-23, 27-32]

189 But, when this Bride, She was looking right at…The one was talking to me, and I, standing together. Her eyes, She was the cleanest, sweetest-looking people I ever seen in my life.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] There She was clean. There is a place where he talks about “the Bride washing Her face,” I think it is in the book of Quotations, where he says: [WMB] “The Bride will wash Her face (or will…).” If you find it there… I think I had written it down in one of the messages; but let’s continue there (if we find it, well, we’ll…). Let’s see if it’s 306, paragraph 306 [Quotations]:

[60-0518 - “Adoption #2,” pp. 37-38, para. 205] [Bible Study #342, 15/Sep/2023 (Friday), pp. 38-39 / Study “The Adoption at the Summit,” 15/June/2024 (Saturday), pp. 9-11]

306 - “[205] God can take a man and adopt him into the family, and give him something. That ([JBP] from page 37 from the book of Quotations), first, try that and see if its right. The Bible said try the spirit. This man claims a certain thing, try it and see if it’s right. If it’s as right, move right with it. Then say, ‘Lord, send us something else.’ Keep moving, see, just keep moving till every fellow take his place.”

[JBP] There on the left he writes: [WSS] «Moses and Elijah». “Move right with it,” there on the side he writes: [WSS] «Moses and Elijah».

306 - “[205] Then you’re going to see the church of God begin to get its place. Then’s when the Philistines will go to backing up. The shorts will go off, hair will grow down, faces will be washed; cigars will be missing. That’s right. When the Church begins to get into Its mighty Power, when we have an Ananias and Sapphira, and a few of them. Yes, sir. You’ll see when that holy Church stands together in His Power, positionally placed as sons of God, adopted into the family of God, powerful Church standing there in Its glory. Oh, that’s what He’s coming for.”

[JBP] And he draws a Cornerstone and the ages on the left side.

And above he writes: [WSS] «In the adoption». «Ananias and Sapphira».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And also on page… let’s go to 12-A, page 12-A; look, here - that is where he writes…, paragraph 116 [Quotations]:

[63-0116 - “The Evening Messenger,” p. 34, paras. 245-248] [Bible Study #387, 18-2/Feb/2024 (Sunday), pp. 32-37]

116 - “[245] After he found the character, then get her stand still long enough to listen to his message of Isaac.

246 That’s the messenger of the last days, the evening Light, is first find that Church (where will they believe the Message?), hunt it. Can you read what I’m talking about? Hunt where that Church is that’ll even let you come in, that won’t close the door in your face. And then when you do there, then you’ve found character.”

[JBP] I was glad when Venezuela opened its doors to me! And I found and have found a Church that has received me… during my Jubilee!

116 - “[246] And then when you do there, then you’ve found character. Now if she will stand still long enough to tell her how that Bride’s got to be dressed! She’s got to be clothed. Stand still! If she could get…

247 Look at the little Rebekah listening to every word, her little heart was beating. She…He—he was telling her. Now, you’ve sweated it out, ‘Where will I go?’ until I find the character. Then when I find the character, then make her stand still long enough to get her ready to go to meet him. Oh, my, what a striking thing! (Wish we had a little more time on that clock.) Get her ready; stand still to listen to his message of him ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David on the left). Eliezer wasn’t speaking of hisself, but he was speaking of the one he was sent from. And he had the gifts to prove that he was sent from him. Amen! He wanted to clothe her with these things. You know how he fixed her up.”

[248] If I could just get her to wash her face!”

[JBP] And brother William writes there at the bottom: [WSS] «The Bride = must wash Her face».

[JBP] The Bride: must wash Her face.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, he goes on to say, here in the message “THE MASTERPIECE” [P. 33]:

[189] And She passed by, sweetly, with a air. And Her eyes up, watching, as She passed by. Oh, She was beautiful! I looked at Her, and as She passed by. He said, “Now we shall review…” Said, “That’s the Bride.”

“Now we will review the churches.” And they come ([JBP] meaning, now he is going to review the churches). I noticed them coming up. And when they come up, each one, look like, got worse. I never seen such a filthy bunch in my life.

And when He said, “Next,” I heard a noise. And It said, “Next,” said, “here comes the American group.”

[JBP] And he writes [WSS] «Laodicea».

And he writes there: [WSS] «Laodicea: the American group».

There he also writes: [WSS] «That age then became organized».

190 Now, I am an American, but this—this made me sick. I am not eloquent enough to, in a mixed audience, to say what was taking place. I—I—I…And you’ll have to read between the lines ([JBP] now he is going to say something). But when the women were coming, the leader of them was a witch. She had a great long nose and a great big mouth. And all of them was dressed with some kind of lower clothes down here; but the top just had a strap, that, just a little, about a half-inch strap that moved up and went around them like this ([JBP] that is, something narrow there). And each women had something on a order…

191 Many of you, years ago, used to remember when we used to cut that paper, you know, newspaper, and make an old fly-bush? ([JBP] And he writes): [WSS] «like Hawaiian women».

[191] How many remembers it? You know. Why, I think they use it in carnivals, you know. Hanging down like that ([JBP] hanging down there), fringed paper, lace paper.

They had something holding below them, like this, holding below them. All this part was exposed.

And each one had hair cut up real short, and frizzy-looking things all over it like that, real short-cut hair; and full of makeup. Absolutely nothing but looked like street prostitutes.

And they were walking with this paper, and, the vulgarity!

[JBP] Here he writes, on the left upwards, four sentences - four rows:

[WSS] «Short hair = they were not under the authority of Christ as the head».

«The World Council: a witch,

(World Council of Churches)

was their head, their leader».

[191] Now, the paper was what was holding in front of them. But when they passed the review stand, in the back of them…And to see the way they were going on, in their foremost and their back part, and how they were acting!

I said, “Is that the Church?”

[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The church» on the right.

192 And there she went. And they were singing this here twist-and-roll songs, you know, or ever what you call, going down, singing that and going by.

I said, “Is that the Church?” And I was standing there, and in my heart I was crying.

And, this witch, to my notion it’s nothing else in the world but she’s a…She is that World Council of Churches, leading them right straight down the road where she was going. They went off to the left, and disappeared in chaos; still beating this music and making real funny sounds, and shaking their bodies, one side and then the other side. And then, like that, carrying on like that, walking.

[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «the left», that is, on the left part he writes [WSS] «the left» upwards.

193 And I just started to bow my head, and He said, “Wait, the Bride must come again.”

And I looked, and here they come again.

[JBP] And in the part of the paragraph at the top, he draws just the part of the ages, at the bottom, on the left.

And now, where it says “the Bride must come again,” there he draws a Cornerstone, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone; and the ages down there.

[193] And I looked, and here they come again. And they passed by, a sweet-looking little ladies. They was all looking right at me, as they passed by.

[JBP] There he writes on the right upwards, on the right upwards: [WSS] «The Bride comes when the ages end».

[193] And I noticed each one was dressed different. And one in the back had kind of long hair hanging down, and had it rolled around like this; might have been German or something like that.

[JBP] In other words, she had that type of curly hair; sometimes those who have curly hair wish it was straight; and those who have it straight wish it was curly. You have it the way God gave it to you already.

Sometimes they start to use products to change their hairstyle; and what you are actually doing is damaging your hair. So, the best thing is to leave it: like the hair that God gave you: if it’s curly, well, curly; and even if it’s a bit uh…, big, because it looks very wild (as we say): “Today, I woke up with my hair all wild.” That… with a bit of… [everyone laughs]. Oh, you’ve done it! But one fixes it up there, and tries to maintain it.

Because notice, it is a blessing for those who can grow out their hair. And there are times when those whose hair grows long want to cut it; and those who have thin hair due to their condition, are wishing and praying to God to let them have - have long hair, sometimes they struggle. But don’t worry, because in the new body you will have that full head of hair the way God already has it in His Program for you; and there, that desire to have that long hair, will be fulfilled there.

But we desire that, even from now, God gives us abundant hair, strengthens our hair, so that this way (especially the women) can have it strong and healthy.

Be grateful for what God has given you.

Look, even your hair. He even mentioned it: “Not one hair shall perish.” [Luke 21:18; Acts 27:34] We will have all the hairs that have fallen off! Even now… my hairline keeps moving further back [he points to his hair]; but it’s there. And the proof of the new body is that bam (!) all those areas are going to be filled again, and wherever you have a bald spot around.

We continue moving forward (always taking vitamins, to strengthen our system, and eating healthy).

Now, he continues to say:

[193] And I watched them.

And then as they started leaving…

[JBP] There he draws a Cornerstone and an arrow towards the Cornerstone.

[193] And then as they started leaving…

[JBP] He circles “leaving,” and an arrow towards the Cornerstone.

[193] … two or three of them, in the back, kind of get out of step ([JBP] as they were going up to the Age of the Cornerstone), and I was going to holler at them. And they was trying to get back in step again…

[JBP] There on the left he writes: [WSS] «Two or three out of step, on the right».

There in between he had written before: [WSS] «(perhaps German women, Spanish women, Germany, Europe)», when he spoke about the curly hair.

[193] And I seen them, just the vision just fade out and change, from me.

194 Now here is the interpretation thereof. The reason…Now, remember, I had just got through writing…I hadn’t finished, I hadn’t wrote these notes yet. But in preaching, this morning, I caught what it was, right in my sermon. Did you notice, the church only came in view…

Now, that’s the Truth, friends. The Heavenly Father, Who writes the Word, knows that I tell the Truth. See? I know I just say the Truth.

And not knowing it till just a few minutes ago, looked like, or just recently, see. Did you notice? The Bride come in view twice; the first Seed and the second Seed, both of them exactly the same One. And the reason they were dr’iff…dressed in different parts, She’ll come from all nations, it’ll make up the Bride.

[JBP] And there he writes on the left:

[WSS] «The Bride twice: before the ages and after the ages».

[WSS] «Each one represents a nation», he also writes there.

[WSS] «Each one represents a nation».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the book of Quotations he tells us that [WMB] it will be from international; page 139 of the book of Quotations, paragraph 1242, there he says:

[64-0830E - “Questions And Answers 4,” p. 18, paras. 80-81]

1242 - “[80] Across the world, they [the Bride] won’t be gathered in one place to have things in common. But little groups of them will be scattered all over the earth.

81 I believe, maybe if the Lord permits, this is a little group of It. Maybe another little group in Asia, one down in Germany, one down somewhere else. When I seen a vision of the Bride the other night, They was made up from the international. See? So the Bride won’t be gathered from one place, It’ll be gathered from all over the world.”

[JBP] Now remember when he told us: [WSS] “Have big places for that time and that moment of the Third Pull, where everything relevant to that time would be carried out”; and he said that [WSS] perhaps we will be taking some trips to some places, and for them to be big places, so that all those small places where they gather: can have one place to gather.*

*• [Study “1st, 2nd, 3rd Pull,” 11/Aug/2024 (Sunday), pp. 21-26]: 2005-12-23 “The visit of the Archangel Gabriel”: [WSS] Likewise, this can also be done in other countries, because we expect that this Third Pull will have an impact—and it will have an impact—on a global level.

Therefore, neither here in Puerto Rico nor in any other country will there be enough room for everyone; but through the internet or the - and the satellite they will be able to tune in and have their screens, to be able to see everything that will be happening in each place where we are in activities; which could be, those activities: one week in one place, another week in another country, another week in another country, and so on, so forth.

But we have to have the places ready, and especially the main locations; because what God is preparing to do is very great: it is the greatest thing that has ever happened in the midst of Christianity. In other words, God is going to close the Dispensation of Grace with a grand finale.

• [Study “The Lord showing who the Bride is in His Coming,” 30-1/July/2024 (Tuesday), pp. 7-8]: MM 2006-08-12-3 “The faithful and wise servant”: [WSS] Therefore, it is always good that for all these activities that we are carrying out during the year at different times, you also give the opportunity to your congregations to attend, because there is enough space here; and if it gets too crowded, then Reverend, Dr. Andres Cruz Gallegos, Ph.D, will do the other section that you have planned, as to have some activities during the year, in which most of the ministers with their congregations will be present.

And it’s best to get used to it because a time will come when we won’t be able to go to all the places and we have to have one or two main places where we can meet; this is because of so much work that is coming up.

And when the stage arrives, which Reverend William Branham called “The Third Pull,” we do not know how it will be: if it will be only from one place, or if it will be in certain places in certain countries, where they have a comfortable place for many congregations and many people to gather to listen to the Word of the Lord pertaining to those days.

And it's good to get used to it, so that when that time comes, it will be a common thing to travel and meet in one or two or three places, the brethren; [from] different congregations together to receive God’s blessings.

Now, notice how in every place where there are places that can be used like that, activities are being held where the Bride is gathered to prepare and listen to that Teaching under the Tent.

Now, he writes there: [WSS] «The Bride = among the international», he writes at the bottom.

In other words, when we are having activities like this, we are gathering the Bride in one place; and those who haven’t been able to come due to some situation, are tuning in and are watching from their place.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he goes on to say here, in “THE MASTERPIECE” [P. 34]:

[194] Each one had long hair, and no makeup, and real pretty girls. And they were watching me. That represented the Bride coming out of all nations. See? She, each one represented a nation, as they marched perfectly in line with the Word. See?

195 And, then, I have to watch Her. She’ll get out of step with that Word ([JBP] and there he draws a Cornerstone, the ages, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone, on the left) if I don’t watch, when She is passing by, if She gets by. Maybe it’ll be my time, when I’m over, see…

[JBP] And he is resting in the sixth dimension, as She is going into the Age of Cornerstone; but one of the Two Olive Trees, one of the ministries that the Son of Man is operating at this end time, would be watching Her, and would be guiding Her, and would be calling Her attention so that She doesn’t fall out of step.

[195] … when I’m finished, or whatever it is.

196 What? They was getting back. Trying their best, and was getting back…

[JBP] Now, there on the right upwards: [WSS] «We must walk in the center of the promised, vindicated Word (for the moment), fulfilled for the Age of the Grain, the Age of the Cornerstone».

He draws a small Cornerstone there, at the beginning of that sentence.

[WSS] «We must walk in the center of the promised, vindicated Word (for the moment), fulfilled for the Age of the Grain, the Age of the Cornerstone».

196 What? They was getting back. Trying their best, and was getting back, just get in line; ’cause, they—they was looking out somewhere else, watching about that church that just went out into chaos ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Laodicea». But two… ([JBP] Meaning, they were looking downward, towards Laodicean) The front ones, never. The back ones, just two or three of them, was kind of stepped out a little bit to the right-hand side, and looked like was trying to get back in line ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «going back» as they went by.

[JBP] And there on the left he writes: [WSS] «The Vision of the Bride, perhaps when he is on the other side». See?

[WSS] «Right-hand side», he also writes there.

[196] They was just past me, oh, far as here to the wall, past me. And I was standing there. And then I just seen it all move out and leave.

[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Going back to get in order with the Word in the 8th step».

But, you notice, the church only came into view once, each nation, the church. But the Bride come in twice ([JBP] there above he writes): [WSS] «The Bride comes in twice». See, see what it was? Now, not knowing it, but look at it with my Message this morning. Not knowing that. See?

197 The Seed fell in the ground at Nicaea. That was the original Seed. And She’s come through the process of these denominations, which only comes in existence once. But the Bride returns back again in the last days. “I will restore.” See, the Masterpiece is brought up.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Let’s turn here for a moment. Look, in this message: “THE RESTORATION OF THE BRIDE TREE,” Reverend William Branham says:

[62-0422 - “The Restoration Of The Bride Tree,” pp. 65-66, paras. 511-514] [Bible Study #473, 15/Dec/2024 (Sunday), pp. 70-73]

[511] The fourth Light is to come ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Elijah y Moses», that will bring forth the same signs. Watch. Justification brought back the pulp.

Sanctification brought back the bark, doctrine of holiness.

512 What brought back the leaf? Pentecostals. What is it? Pentecostals, leaves, clap their hand, joy, rejoicing, Pentecostal.

[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «Leaves – clap».

[Dr. JBP claps his hands –Ed.].

[JBP] That is for Pentecostals.

513 What? The fourth was the Word, Itself. The Word made flesh ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «Elijah and Moses», fruits of the proof of the resurrection sign that Christ has finally, after justification been planted, sanctification been planted, baptism of the Holy Ghost. Organizations died out. And Christ ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Elijah and Moses» has again centered Himself like that cap of the pyramid.

[JBP] And there he draws a Cornerstone and the ages, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone.

And he writes on the right upwards: [WSS] «Christ at the top of the Mountain. It is the 4th Light: Elijah and Moses».

[513] First line, justification; sanctification; baptism of the Holy Ghost…

[JBP] He numbers them: [WSS] «1, 2, 3, 4».

[513] … [WSS] «1, 2, 3» baptism of the Holy Ghost; then ([JBP] and there he writes): [WSS] «4» coming of the Cap.

514 What is it? That Holy Ghost bunch being honed out so that it can fit with the same kind of ministry He had when He went away, that, when He comes back, it’ll catch the whole thing in the Rapture, where the justified, sanctified, and baptism of the Holy Ghost. That pyramid will stand again. The House of God will live again. The Tree of Life is growing again.

[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «The Tree of Life», on the right.

Above he had written: [WSS] «4th Light».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, look, he continues to say here [“THE MASTERPIECE”] [P. 35]:

[197] That’s the reason She was in view, reviewed, the second time.

[JBP] A bit further on:

[197] See, the Masterpiece is brought up. That’s the reason She was in view, reviewed, the second time. She was reviewed the first time, then she was reviewed the second time. And She was perfectly, the second time, like She was the first time. O God, have mercy! Hurry, hurry, hurry, Life, get in the Grain, right quick! Uh-huh.

[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «The Bride appeared twice».

198 All others never appeared no more ([JBP] that is, on the left upwards): [WSS] «The Bride appeared twice». They went out, never to come back again.

But the Bride came back, ’cause She was Alpha and Omega. God, the great Sculptor, has made Him a Masterpiece, for It is a piece of His first Masterpiece. Like He made in the garden of Eden, and took a piece from, and made another piece and that was marred and fell, now He’s been all this time building it up again. And He brought forth this Masterpiece, and was smitten, in order…That part that was smitten, was in order to bring back again that Masterpiece, again.

[JBP] And on the left he writes: [WSS] «The building of the Bride».

[JBP] And God is a good Builder! So much so that, in His First Coming, He sent a construction worker. He could have sent Him with a different occupation; but since He is the Architect of architects, He is the One who designed the universe and everything (He even designed us as individuals, what we would be like): in His First Coming, He sent a construction worker. And He liked it so much that He sent one again.

In other words, in His Second Coming, He comes for the building of the Bride.

Now, look, he goes on to say:

199 So, the Masterpiece and the Son of God, the Masterpiece and the Bride ([JBP] there he writes): [WSS] «the building of the Bride», and It’s a piece of Him, which must be the fulfilling of the Word. The Word has been fulfilled, and we’re ready for the Coming of the Lord.

[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The Coming of the Lord».

And there, an arrow towards the Cornerstone, and the ages.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he continues to say here, in this other message: “IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN,” on page 17, look, he says:

[65-0418M - “It Is The Rising Of The Sun,” pp. 15-17, paras. 111-123] [Study “The 7th Seal and the Name,” 25-2/June/2023 (Domingo), pp. 15-22]

111 And as He, being the Groom, the Bride has to come forth, ’cause It’s part of Him. And It can only be the manifestation of the fulfilling of all the revelations any others has spoke of the Bride; It can only manifest. If it does something different from the Groom, it isn’t the Bride ([JBP] there he writes): [WSS] «the Groom and the Bride» ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone, and an arrow upwards, towards the Cornerstone). Because, She is flesh of His flesh, bone of His bone; Life of His Life, Power of His Power! She is Him! As man and woman are one, and woman taken from his side, She had taken a Spirit, the feminish Spirit, from Him. The flesh from His side, made both Mechanics and Dynamics, the Wife. The Spirit of Him and the flesh of Him, and put it together, and made Mechanics and Dynamics.

[JBP] Above he writes: [WSS] «The feminine Spirit of Christ in the Church».

And on the right he writes: [WSS] «The feminine Spirit of Jesus in the Church».

[111] Until the church or the people…

112 All these Easter bunnies, and ceremonies, and big churches, and finery, will fail and pass away.

113 Until that Church becomes both Dynamics ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Holy Spirit» and Mechanics [WSS] «the Word»…

[JBP] Now, for the crowning, notice, as an age, we saw that the Word has to be incarnate in the midst of His Church; and we can see that the Church has the female Spirit of Jesus.

Now look:

[111] Until the church or the people…

112 All these Easter bunnies, and ceremonies, and big churches, and finery, will fail and pass away.

113 Until that Church becomes both Dynamics ([JBP] he writes there): [WSS] «Holy Spirit, the Word»; and the Spirit of God, that moved Him, to do the things that He did! If He hit on sixteen cylinders, so will the Bride. Amen! For He said, in John 14:12, “He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also. I’ll give him a charge of My Dynamics, in his Mechanics, that the world will not be able to withstand it; and I’ll raise him up again at the last day.”

[JBP] And he writes on the left: [WSS] «The dynamics».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] There is a part in the book of Quotations that talks about the charge; it should be on the pages with the letters; it must be an odd number, because it’s on the right side, like at the top. If you find it... [WMB] “recharge,” it says something like that, or “a charge.” Let’s see if it is 6-A… 3? 3-A. See? 3-A, on this part here: top right. Paragraph 16, look, he says:

[54-0103M - “Questions And Answers #1,” p. 41, para. 264] [Study “The glorified body (the theophanic) to charge the physical body,” 12/Feb/2024 (Monday), p. 38]

16 - “264 Just think, your glorified body is right here at the tabernacle now, the Presence of the Holy Spirit which is your glorified condition. You’re glorified in Christ right now! ‘Those who He justified, He glorified.’ And your own glorified body is standing near you right now, in Christ Jesus, to give to you a strength like a charge going into a battery. The Holy Spirit is in you. It’s to charge your body to give you new strength, to heal you from the sickness that you’ve got, to make you well.”

[JBP] And he writes below: [WSS] «The healing of the body».

And at the top he writes: [WSS] «Glorified body, the theophanic one, to charge the physical body».

[JBP] And upon knowing these things we can say: “Oh, theophany: charge my body! I want you to give me charge and recharge me, give me new strength to keep going!”

[“IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN”]

[113] …“He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also. I’ll give him a charge of My Dynamics, in his Mechanics, that the world will not be able to withstand it; and I’ll raise him up again at the last day ([JBP] he writes): [WSS] «the dynamics» ([JBP] upwards on the left).” That’s the Easter Message, the Dynamics and the Mechanics, together! The Mechanics [WSS] «the Word» ([JBP] he writes above) without the Dynamics, no good ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Holy Spirit» ([JBP] above “Dynamics”); neither is the Dynamics, without the Mechanics.

114 You can scream and shout, and jump up-and-down, all you want to, and deny this Word, it won’t do any good. You’re just cranking around the—the pistons of…Got the spark there to fire, but no gasoline to fire it by.

115 It’ll only work as they come together ([JBP] there he writes on the left): [WSS] «the spark and the gasoline». Amen! So, one will set still, and the other One will go up. That’s the only thing there is to it. Yet, they both might look alike, both claim to be churches, both claim to be Bride. But One has Mechanics and Dynamics, It brings it to pass, of what He said is the Truth.

[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The mechanics and dynamics together, brings it to pass».

[JBP] The Church that has the mechanics and the dynamics together: that is the Church-Bride.

116 It just won’t move, no matter how good the Mechanics is, until the Dynamics come. When the Dynamics come, that Fire is made to connect with that octane in the gasoline. And when That explodes, it causes a combustion, and that combustion moves every motion, every move, for He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That’s the resurrection. That’s the real Power of God, Mechanics with the Dynamics. Notice, “It’s the Spirit that quickens.” It’s the—it’s the Spark that fires. It’s not the gas that fires; it’s the Spark that fires the gas. See? ([JBP] It’s the spark).

117 “You can do nothing without Me; but with Me you can do all things.” As He is the Word, It’s the Father living. “Father sent Me, so send I you ([JBP] below he writes): [WSS] «as the Father sent me». As the Father has fired Me and pushed Me into everything, I do only that which is pleasing to God. Now, as He sent Me, so send I you with the same Mechanics, and it takes the same Dynamics to operate It. And these signs shall follow them that claim to have the Mechanics. The Dynamics will take Its place.”

[JBP] And he writes on the left upwards: [WSS] «The dynamics and the mechanics».

118 Paul said, “The Gospel came to us not in Word only,” through gasoline only, “but through Spark also,” to make It move. There you are. It came to us in that manner.

119 It’s the same Spirit, that raised Him up, that quickened the true believer to Eternal Life. Now remember, potentially…Now watch, as we are getting out of our time. Notice, “the same Spirit,” now, Romans 8:1. Now let’s just read that again, in Romans 8:1, and we’ll see what that says. All right. And not Romans…I mean, 8:11, I’m sorry.

120 In Romans 8:11, “But if…” There is the problem. There’s His catch.

But if the Spirit of him (God, the Holy Spirit) that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,…

121 Now, there you are, “If the Bridegroom Spirit dwells in the Bride!”

122 When God made His first bridegroom, He made the bridegroom first, and he was both man and woman, in spirit ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Adam and the masculine spirit. And Eve and the feminine spirit»; formed him in the dust of the earth, to make him material. And notice when He made Eve, from Adam, He took not another piece of clay, He took from the same piece of clay; the same Word, for Adam was a spoken Word. See? He took from him, and then taken the…He had masculine and feminish spirit. And He took the feminish spirit away from Adam, and placed it in Eve; so it’s still part of Adam’s spirit, it’s Adam’s flesh. Then, it was Adam’s spirit, the dynamic, that quickened the mechanics of his body ([JBP] you see?).

123 So the Bride must also be flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone. Then how is this mortal flesh going to become His flesh? ([JBP] And he writes): [WSS] «glorified». We’ll get to it in a minute, see.

[JBP] There he writes, on the right upwards:

[WSS] «Adam = was a spoken Word».

«The spirit of Adam = the dynamics».

[123] How is it done? How? What is this great transformation? Notice.

Now if the Spirit of him (God) that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

[JBP] And there at the bottom he writes: [WSS] «Adam had the masculine and feminine spirit».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, in this same message, look, on page 35, which is an excerpt from the book of Quotations, which is on page 146, there he tells us… Let’s have the book of Quotations open here as well. Page 146, paragraph 1299, he says [“IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN”]:

[65-0418M - “It Is The Rising Of The Sun,” p. 30, para. 242] [Study “The masculine and feminine spirit in the first Adam and in the second Adam,” 3/Sep/2022 (Saturday), pp. 34-35]

[242] God had never separated the Bride from the Groom, yet. So when God looked down upon the body of Christ, He saw both male and female. It was all redeemed in that one body. ([JBP] And he writes there): [WSS] «And today His Church in his body of human flesh». See? They are one, same, same Word. The same Word, spoke of the Groom, speaks of the Bride.

[JBP] There he writes, in the book of Quotations at the top:

[WSS] «Christ and the Bride [2nd Eve] = are One – male and female».

[WSS] «Christ and the Bride = are One – male and female».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, in this message titled “THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL,” there Dr. William Soto tells us:

THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL

Dr. William Soto Santiago

Monday, August 15, 1994

Mexico City, Mexico

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as a Mystical Body of believers…

[JBP] Based on this foundation that we already have here, look:

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as a Mystical Body of believers, as the spiritual Temple of Christ (typified in the tabernacle that Moses made and the one Solomon made), had the Holy Spirit in the most holy place; that is, She had It in the part that is represented in the spirit of the human being; the outer courts are represented in the body; but the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ is represented in the person’s soul.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message of “THE STATURE OF A PERFECT MAN,” Reverend William Branham tells us:

[62-1014M - “The Stature Of A Perfect Man,” p. 20, para. 131] [Bible Study #224, 29/July/2022 (Friday), pp. 20-21]

131 First, you must be borned again. And then when you’re borned again, you have faith; you believe the Word. Until you’re borned again, you’ll argue against It ([JBP] there on the right he writes): [WSS] «you must be born again». If you’re just religiously inclined, and—and you got a—a—a little human knowledge that you should do right, you’ll never be able to agree upon the Word of God. You’ll never do it. You’ve got to be borned again. And, borned again, it produces faith.

[JBP] There he writes: [WSS] «The new birth produces faith».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”]:

[WSS] And that is why the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Mystical Body of believers at the end of time is required to have the token applied in Her Soul, which is the Most Holy Place, to have the Holy Spirit manifested in the Most Holy Place…

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In a writing in the Bible, on one of the pages, he writes:

[WSS] «Christ, our Paschal Lamb, which we have been eating during the Dispensation of Grace.

(and separately, another sentence)

And in the Age of the Cornerstone, to be set free in an eternal body and go to the Millennial Kingdom, afterwards: His Blood has been applied on the lintel of our hearts by receiving His Holy Spirit».

[JBP] He continues to say… And he draws a Cornerstone there and the ages.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] He continues to say [“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”]:

[WSS] … just as He was manifested in the Holy Place in each angel messenger, manifested in the Most Holy Place in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that is the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the soul of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, that is, in the Most Holy Place of the Spiritual Temple…

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “GOD IS HIS OWN INTERPRETER,” Reverend William Branham tells us on page 10; he says:

[64-0205 - “God Is His Own Interpreter,” pp. 7-8, paras. 45-50] [Bible Study #479, 5-2/Jan/2025 (Sunday), pp. 10-12]

45 Philip, at that time, went and—and found Nathanael under a tree, and brought him back to Jesus. Jesus said “Behold an Israelite in whom there’s no guile.” [John 1:47]

He said, “Rabbi, when did You ever know me?”

46 He said, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you.”

47 He said, “Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God! ([JBP] And he writes there): [WSS] «the Holy Spirit incarnate in a prophet». You’re the King of Israel.” He knowed that was What? It didn’t need any interpretation, Jehovah said That!

48 There stood those there who didn’t believe it. They said, “This Man is Beelzebub ([JBP] one said: “You are the Son of God,” and others said: “No; that’s Beelzebub”). He’s got—He’s got some kind of a trick He’s pulling. He—He’s a fortune-teller, or something.”

49 Jesus looked at them, and said, “Why, you speak that against the Son of man, it’ll be forgiven you. But when the Holy Ghost is come to do the same thing…”

[JBP] And there he writes above: [WSS] «In a prophet: in (William Marrion Branham) W.M.B. and Rev. 11».

[49] “… speak against That, it’ll never be forgiven you, in this world or the world to come.” [Matthew 12:27-32] He was prophesying of our day, the day that we should see. For He is the same yesterday, today, and forever ([JBP] there he writes on the left upwards): [WSS] «blasphemy against the Holy Spirit». Remember, it was Jesus Christ that was in Moses.

50 It was Jesus Christ that was in David. When David, the son of…David went up on the mountain, a rejected king, and wept over Jerusalem, that was nothing but Christ in him ([JBP] and he writes above): [WSS] «Christ, the Holy Spirit, in David». For about eight hundred years later, the Son of David set up over the Mount of Olives and looked down upon Jerusalem and wept…

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”]:

[WSS] (...) That is why, in the message of The Seals, on page 131, on page 134, on page 146, on page 185, on page 186 and on page 256, he speaks to us about the Coming of Christ, he speaks to us of the Coming of the Holy Spirit for the end of time.

Let’s read here… because having the baptism of the Holy Spirit is having Christ; and the Church, notice, has had Christ in and through every angel messenger. And now, page 256 [p. 295 in Eng. (Fourth Seal)] (to avoid reading too much), says:

“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.”

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in the message “THE GOD OF THIS EVIL AGE,” he tells us on page 41, which is an excerpt from the book of Quotations, from page 156, paragraph 1396; there he tells us, reading from the booklet here, he says:

[65-0801M - “The God Of This Evil Age,” pp. 37-38, para. 167-168] [Bible Study #421, 16-2/June/2024 (Sunday), pp. 12, 14]

167 But, in obedience, this little faith Woman, that lives by faith, the Bride; the person here, there; here, off somewhere else, some other church, some other denomination, whatever it is, in some not…Believes the Word of God, obedient, waiting in love, for the promise of the age to be confirmed ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone, and the arrow towards the Cornerstone). She is watching for it. She is part of that Word, and She is watching for Her life to manifest that Word.

Brethren, can’t you see that? I hope that didn’t go over you.

The Body is waiting for (which is the Word), waiting for the Life (which is the Spirit) to confirm or make It alive ([JBP] and there he writes upwards): [WSS] «the Bride waiting for the Life (the Spirit incarnate) of the Word». That’s what She is waiting for ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David there). No other life will work in Her. She can’t come to life any other way. Yet, She feels it out there, and She knows it’s going to happen; then here it happens, then She wakes up. God said, “Let there be,” and She came forth like the first one come forth.

[JBP] There he is referring to… that vision of the Bride. The first one came out on the Day of Pentecost.

168 “Children of disobedient” means obedience…Disobedience means “rebellion.” I looked that up in the dictionary, to be sure. Rebellion, rebelling against (what?) the revealed Word of God. Like Cain revealed…rebelled against Abel’s revealed revelation, vindicated of God that it was righteous ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Cain» ([JBP] there). And Cain rebelled against it, and slew his brother.

The Pharisees, with their own denominational knowledge of what the Word of God was, selected hand-picked man, rebelled against the vindicated Word of God made manifest for the day, Jesus Christ, and killed Him. That right?

That’s what “the children of disobedience” is, a rebellion against the Word of God.

[JBP] Now look, after brother William read this Scripture from the book of The Seals, from page 256…

Here in the book of Quotations, on 156, that paragraph 1396, above he writes there:

[WSS] «Waiting for the promise of this age to be confirmed».

[WSS] «For every age and dispensation there is…».

Oh, up here also, at the top, on the right side, he writes: [WSS] «Waiting like Ruth».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, look, after he read that Scripture of The Seals, our brother William says [“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”]:

[WSS] And that is ([JBP] what he read there on page 256 [p. 295 in Eng. (Fourth Seal)] of The Seals) Revelation, chapter 19, verse 11 to 21. It is Christ coming to His Church, to His Mystical Body of believers, being manifested in and through His Angel Messenger in the Most Holy Place of His spiritual Temple, that is, in the Soul of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And the divine judgment of the great tribulation, typified in the judgment brought by God through Moses to and upon the Egyptian people, and, especially, that night of the death of the firstborn; we find that the only ones who were free from that judgment were those who had the token applied.

And the only Mystical Body of believers that will be free from the divine judgment that is to come, will be the Mystical Body of believers that will have the token applied in the Soul, in the Most Holy Place ([JBP] that is, She will have the Holy Spirit incarnate in Her midst). That is why every other group of believers is sentenced to death, to destruction, during the judgment of the great tribulation ([JBP] any group that doesn’t have the Holy Spirit incarnate in their midst).

[JBP] Blessed be the Lord forever! that we have that Holy Spirit incarnate in our midst. Therefore, it gives us the assurance that we will escape the divine judgments of the great tribulation.

What an assurance for the Church-Bride! What strength that gives us to continue forward!

“I am sure, beloved brother, friend, because I have with me the Holy Spirit incarnate! I have it in the midst…. in my midst. He walks with me, He laughs with me.” The dynamics and the mechanics [clap!] are together there; therefore [snap!], the spark can ignite.

The rest: causes a short circuit when they touch it: the fuse blows and they are left in the dark; and then they start to try to get some light from flashlights that hardly light up at all, and whose battery is already running low, but there is no one to charge it.

But we have the Giver of that charge. We are walking with a fully-charged battery bank, with that One who produces everlasting energy. But we can say it in these terms: We are always walking with the UPS*

*[UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): a device that provides backup electrical power to electronic devices when the main power supply fails, such as in a blackout. In other words, it acts as a battery that allows devices to continue functioning for a limited time, which prevents data loss or work interruptions]

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, look, he tells us here, in this message “WHO IS THIS MELCHISEDEC,” on page 24, Reverend William Branham says:

[65-0221E - “Who Is This Melchisedec?” pp. 19-20, paras. 105-109]

105 Notice, after the battle was over ([JBP] and he writes there): [WSS] «¨(after the battle of the ages)», Melchisedec served His victorious child communion; think of that, part of Himself! Now we want to see here. In type here is, in view, the communion. After the battle, He gave of Himself, because the communion is part of Christ. And after the struggle ([JBP] and above he writes): [WSS] «the ages» is over, after you’ve done got yourself whipped out, then is when you partake of Christ ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the theophany», become part of this Being ([JBP] and he draws a Star of David, and he writes): [WSS] «you become the Word». You get it?

106 Jacob wrestled all night, and wouldn’t turn Him loose until He blessed him.

[JBP] Now look, on the left he writes: [WSS] «The incarnation of the Word in the children of Abraham».

106 Jacob wrestled all night, and wouldn’t turn Him loose until He blessed him. That’s right. Battled for Life! And after the battle is over ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «of the 7th Seal»…

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Because the Seventh Seal is like a rocket that is launched… Reverend William Branham says on page 465 [p. 540 in Eng. (Seventh Seal)], of The Seals:

234 It’s just like firing a rocket into the air. And that rocket explodes here, and it goes up and then explodes again ([JBP] there he writes): [WSS] «Moses». It puts out five stars. One of those stars explode and blows out five stars from it; and then one of them stars explodes and blows out five stars from it. See, it fades on out.

235 That’s, what, the Seventh Seal. It just ends the time for the world. It ends the time for this. It ends the time for that. It ends the time for this. It ends the time.

[JBP] Now, there he numbers them: “That” he writes: [WSS] «1»; “this,” he writes: [WSS] «2»; “it ends the time” there he writes: [WSS] «3».

[235] Everything just ended up on that Seventh Seal.

236 Now, how is He going to do it? That’s what we don’t know, isn’t it? We don’t know.

237 It’s even the time for all these things, and the ushering in of the Millennium ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Introduction».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, notice what he says here [“WHO IS THIS MELCHISEDEC”]:

[106] And after the battle is over ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «of the 7th Seal», then God gives you of Himself [WSS] «the Theophany» ([JBP] he writes above). That is His true communion ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone, the ages; and a Star of David inside). The little bread and wafer just represents It. You shouldn’t take it ’less you’ve wrestled it out and become part of God.

[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Born again».

[JBP] Now, remember in First Corinthians, chapter 11, where he spoke, and I wrote it there, when Paul said: “Do this in remembrance of Me until I come,” and he writes: [WSS] «… until the Second Coming of the Lord».

107 Remember, at this time, the communion had never been instituted, not until before the death of Jesus Christ, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years later.

[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «The spiritual communion».

108 But Melchisedec, after His child Abraham had won the victory, Melchisedec met him and gave him wine and bread; showing that after this earthly battle is over, we will meet Him in the heavens and take the communion again ([JBP] and there he draws a Cornerstone, and he writes): [WSS] «Rev. 4. “Come up hither”». It’ll be the Wedding Supper. “I will not drink no more of the vine, or eat the fruit, until I eat it and drink it with you, anew, in My Father’s Kingdom.” Is that right?

[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «With Moses and Elijah – Dispensation of the Kingdom».

And he writes there on the left: [WSS] «The Supper at the end of the battle in the Dispensation of the Kingdom».

109 Notice again, Melchisedec went to meet Abraham before he got back home. What a beautiful type here we have! Melchisedec meeting Abraham before he got back home, after the battle.

We meet Jesus in the air, before we get Home ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone, and he writes): [WSS] «Come up hither». That’s right. Second Thessalonians tells us that, for, “we meet Him in the air.”

[JBP] It is a heavenly Age.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, he continues to say… I’m in the message “THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”; he says:

[WSS] Now, see what it means for the individual, in other words, for a person, to have or receive the Spirit? And what it means for Him to be received [in] by the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, that is, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ? Notice, it is the same order…

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And look in this message “THE VICTORY OF DIVINE LOVE,” he tells us there:

THE VICTORY OF DIVINE LOVE

Dr. William Soto Santiago

Friday, July 2, 1976

Sabana Seca, Toa Baja, Puerto Rico

Now, so we have seen ([JBP] Dr. William Soto says) that just like in the second dispensation, in the third dispensation there is then a new birth; that new birth is being born of the Water and the Spirit, as it was back then; the same order, the same rule. So, we must be born again. To be born, first we have to die. We have to die to what? We have to die to the past age, we have to die to the previous age, which was the Laodicean Age, we have to die to the Laodicean Age, we have to die to the things of the Laodicean Age, we have to die to the things of the age of the second dispensation, that is, of the age of Grace or the Dispensation of Grace ([JBP] the things…, notice: water baptisms, the Holy Supper [Communion], feet washing, all of that is taken away; we have to die to all of that); we have to die to all of that and be born again to a new dispensation.

You know that, notice, the people who - when they entered the second dispensation, they also had to die to the first dispensation; to die to all of that, to the old things; and old things are passed away, behold, they are become new [2 Corinthians 5:17]. That is how it is when one goes from one dispensation to another.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And look, in this message, which is “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,” from August 30, of ‘64, Reverend William Branham says:

[64-0830M - “Questions And Answers #3,” p. 20, paras. 95-99]

95 Now, when it comes to creation of things, it’s true. Jesus never right straight out created anything and brought it into existence. He took a substance first. He took water, made wine. He took bread and made more bread. He took fish and made more fish. But He promised that greater things than this would be done.

[JBP] He had something there; but in the Third Pull, when brother Branham is speaking the Word (meaning, God would be showing him what the Third Pull in operation would be), there was nothing there. And he said: [WMB] “Speak the Word. Put the squirrel wherever you want”; there wasn’t something he could multiply the amount of. He created; it was God through that man creating, speaking the Word, and the squirrel came into existence; and not just one: two or three.

In other words, that shows us that there are no limitations with the spoken Word; because “all things are possible to him that believes.”

[95] See? You see? Now, why? It’s in a more evil day than it was when He was here. See? It’s still Him, but using your tabernacle. See?

96 And this person that’s in you, which is your birth…You are John Doe; you were born in a certain month, and you’re borned under a certain star; you were borned under a certain thing, and that has something to do with you. Certainly does!

[JBP] There on the left he draws a Cornerstone, the ages; and stars… 7 stars, and a Star of David next to the Cornerstone.

And on the right he writes: [WSS] «You are born under a star».

And he writes there: [WSS] «And the new birth is under the Star of your age».

[JBP] And he says:

97 I know I used to…Papa used to say, “I can’t plant them potatoes at this time, because the moon isn’t right. You can’t plant them potatoes, Billy.”

98 And I said, “I’m not planting them in the moon, I’m planting them here in the ground!”

[JBP] And on “moon” he writes: [WSS] «Sun», and he surrounds it with rays of light, and he draws a Star of David.

And he also writes there: [WSS] «The 7 ages of the Church – The Moon».

And he draws a candlestick with seven stars.

[98] Said, “All right, smart aleck, go on! You get a few bumps on your head and you’ll learn something.” I did. I did ([JBP] brother Branham says).

99 I tell you: take a board and lay it down out there on the grass in the dark of the moon and watch what happens. That grass will die right now. Lay it on the light of the moon; you can let it lay there a week; it won’t hurt it a bit.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, our brother William goes on to say, in this message that I’m reading: “THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”; he says:

[WSS] And a person’s soul is represented in the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ; the person’s spirit is represented in the holy place of the temple or tabernacle; and the body is represented in or represents the outer court or courts of the tabernacle or temple.

So, notice how simple everything is. Everything is simple.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, in this message “A COURT TRIAL,” here Reverend William Branham tells us on page 8 of this message:

[64-0412 - “A Court Trial,” p. 17, paras. 78-79]

78 And the defense witness should know whether they are believers or not, because He is the One that quickens the Word.

[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Holy Spirit quickens the promise».

And on top of “witness” he writes: [WSS] «lawyer».

[78] He knows whether they believe or not. Don’t you think so? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] He should know. He knows whether they are believers or not, because He is the only one can put Life in the Word. Here would be my body standing here without a spirit, I’d be dead; but it’s only life can quicken this body to move. And it’s only the Holy Spirit that can quicken the Word. He is the only one can put It in action, and He ought to know whether they are believers or not. And against their own testimony that they said, “Others claimed to be healed, and others claimed to see these things,” but they didn’t. Now, see, his witness is already condemned.

79 But, now, He quickens the Word.

[JBP] In order for that Word to be quickened, the Holy Spirit must be in Her midst, in the midst of the people.

And he writes there, on the back: [WSS] «The Holy Spirit is needed to bring the Word to life».

[JBP] The Holy Spirit is needed to bring the Word to life.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”]:

[WSS] It’s the same thing that some people will say: “We did this, and this, and this and that in Your Name,” groups may also do and say that ([JBP] individuals, groups, may say the same thing), that is, bodies of believers; in other words, religious groups of believers as a group; meaning, like religious sects or religions; they may say or do the same, and say the same: “We did such-and-such a thing in Your Name,” they might say their name as well…

[JBP] The “yo-yo,” ha! They turn into yo-yos: [Dr. JBP is using a play on words between the toy known as a “yo-yo” and the word “yo” in Spanish, which means “I” or “me” –Ed.]: “No, but I did this, I did that, I...” There is a place where brother William says that [WSS] “they turn into yo-yos.” You know what yo-yos are? I don’t know what they’re called here. Yo-yo?

[WSS] … they might say their name as well; they might say: “We, the… such-and-such group, or such-and-such sect, or such-and-such religion, we did such-and-such thing in Your Name; great miracles, [and] wonders, signs; and our group spoke in tongues and all [those] these things.”

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, this is where he says that about the new birth. Look, on page 35 of the message “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,” but this one is from August 23, ‘64; brother William Branham says there (this is the 61st question):

[64-0823E - “Questions And Answers #2,” p. 37, paras. 173-174]

306. After the Bride is raptured will any of the foolish virgin be saved or will they all be lost?

173 No! See, everything will be finished for the Gentile church when the Bride is taken from the earth. The Spirit of God leaves the earth: “He that’s filthy is filthy still; he that’s righteous is righteous still; he that’s holy is holy still.” [Revelation 22:11] In other words the sanctuary becomes smoky…

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, when he says there… Remember the writing that he left us in a notebook? Where he says… of First… of Second Thessalonians 2:1-10:

[WSS] «2 Thessalonians 2:1-10 (he writes that Scripture, and says): “When He who lets is taken away, then shall that wicked be revealed”».

[WSS] «The Holy Spirit will be taken from the Earth, from among the gentiles (that is, from the Dispensation of Grace), and will go up, and come incarnate in a man…».

[JBP] It comes out of the Dispensation of Grace, goes up… Book of The Seals, page 146 [p. 168 in Eng. (First Seal)]: [WMB] “And at the same time that the devil falls out of Heaven and becomes incarnate in a man, the Holy Spirit goes up and comes incarnate in a man.”

[WSS] «… and will come incarnate in a man to reveal Himself to Israel».

«Christ in Holy Spirit comes incarnate in a man, and then there will be a showdown between Christ and the antichrist in the man of sin, the wicked one, the son of perdition, the son of Satan, in whom Satan will become incarnate».

[JBP] And we see how things are in the world, how those two spirits are on Earth at this time: the spirit of the antichrist and the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he says [“QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS”]:

[173] In other words the sanctuary becomes smoky where the—the Attorney stands to plead the case. Christ leaves the sanctuary; His day of mediatorial is over. The Rapture comes; He leaves from the sanctuary, goes forth and takes the Book of Redemption, and claims everything He redeemed. There’s no more mediatorial work. How many understands that? I’ve got it on one of the Seals—or one of the…Yeah, the Seals, I believe it was, that Christ comes forth to claim His mediatorial work.

174 Now, just a minute. “Will the foolish virgin be saved?” No! Whatever happens she—happens now. After that time she’s in the state…Now, she will have to go through the Tribulation Period. And the reason of it is, is because she has rejected the Atonement in Its fullness. She is a believer, a professed believer, but she will have to go through the Tribulation Period.

[JBP] And on the left he writes: [WSS] «The foolish».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And in this same book, on page 42, notice what he says here, the 71st question, he says [“QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS”]:

[64-0823E - “Questions And Answers #2” p. 44, paras. 211]

317. Will all borned again believers go in the Rapture?

211 No, just the remnant, just the remnant, not all born again believers. The Bible said, “And the rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years,” [Revelation 20:5] and then they was raised and separated, the sheep from the goats. Not all borned again will go in the…according to Scripture.

[JBP] Here he writes, on the left: [WSS] «For the Rapture: not all the born again».

[JBP] Because one must be born in each age and in each dispensation in which the person is living.

And in the front he also writes: [WSS] «Not all the born again will go in the Rapture».

[JBP] One must be born under the dispensation relevant to this time, and that is the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now… Look, he goes on to say [“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”]:

[WSS] But notice, one must have the Holy Spirit in the right place for that dispensation and for that age ([JBP] brother William says there).

[JBP] In other words, one must have the Holy Spirit in the place and in the stage relevant to the time in which the person is given to live.

In the time of the Dispensation of Grace, they couldn’t have the Holy Spirit in the outer court, in the Law; It had to be in the Dispensation of Grace. And today, the Holy Spirit must be in the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

[WSS] But notice, one must have the Holy Spirit in the right place for that dispensation and for that age.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “PERFECT FAITH,” on page 9, look, Reverend William Branham says:

[63-0825E - “Perfect Faith,” pp. 8-9, paras. 51-55]

51 Now, now we see, at first the disciples didn’t have this Perfect Faith. They didn’t have it, because they’d had Christ, walking with Him; but then afterwards, Christ was in them. And so, you see, it’s hard then to have this Perfect Faith without the Holy Spirit; It has to bring it, It does. Now, you say, “The disciples didn’t have Perfect Faith?” No; for they had an epileptic child there, that they were trying to cast this devil out of him, and they couldn’t do it.

52 And the father seen Jesus coming, and he said, “We have brought my son to—to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.” See?

53 And afterwards, the disciples asked Jesus, saying, “Why could not we cure him?”

[JBP] Now look, here at the bottom he writes: [WSS] «The Holy Spirit incarnate, being inside the Body of believers, brings the Perfect Faith, the Rapturing Faith».

[WSS] «The Holy Spirit incarnate, being in the Body of believers (and we already saw a few minutes ago that it is one person who is born again), brings the Perfect Faith, the Rapturing Faith».

He also writes there: [WSS] «The disciples didn’t have faith».

And he also writes on the right: [WSS] «The Spirit brings the Rapturing Faith».

[JBP] Now, they ask Him that question:

[53] …“Why could not we cure him?”

54 And Jesus said, “Because, of the lack of faith, of your unbelief.” That’s right. “Because of your unbelief at…”

55 Now remember, they had the power. Jesus had given them power to heal the sick, to raise the dead, and cast out devils, just a few days before that. They had the power, but not the faith to use the power. Now, there’s the Branham Tabernacle! There’s the Church, the Bride, today! The Holy Spirit is here with the power, but you, haven’t got that faith to move it. See what I mean? It takes faith to move it.

[JBP] And there he writes above: [WSS] «The Bride and the Branham Tabernacle didn’t have faith to move the power».

Today, we are receiving that Faith to use that power!

And there he writes on the left: [WSS] «Faith to use the power».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”]:

[WSS] During the seven ages of the gentile Church, the Church as a Mystical Body of believers had It in the Holy Place, which represents the spirit in the human being.

But now, at the end of time, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must have It in the Most Holy Place, that is, in the Soul of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ; and to have It as the Church had It in the Holy Place: through human flesh, through each messenger of the ages, to have It in the Angel Messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message of “DESPERATIONS,” on page 5, Reverend William Branham tells us here:

[63-0901E - “Desperations,” pp. 4-5, paras. 20-25]

20 You say, “I—I want you, Brother Branham,” and I give you a gift, see. Well, that’s not me, that’s my gift.

Tongues is a gift of the Holy Ghost, not the Holy Ghost; a gift of the Holy Ghost.

21 And the devil can impersonate any of those things, but he cannot be the Holy Ghost. See? He can impersonate these gifts, but he can’t be the Holy Ghost.

And the Holy Ghost is the Token that the Blood has been applied, because It follows the Blood all the way from the Book of Redemption. See it? That was the purpose of Him coming. That’s what He followed in every age.

[JBP] There he writes on the right: [WSS] «The Token = It is the Spirit incarnate for the Church».

[JBP] In other words, today we can say: Today Venezuela has the Token, because they have the Holy Spirit incarnate!

Therefore, when God looks at this people, may He see them through that Token! And may He see them with eyes of mercy! Because the Token is here!: The Holy Spirit is in Her midst.

And Lord, You have extended Your mercy upon these people, because they have the Token applied; and not in the Holy Place, they have It applied in the Most Holy Place, where It has to be at this time! Which is in the Age of Cornerstone, which is in the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

[21] Every age He has followed that, to see that It’s brought forth, and they could not be made perfect without us. And now the entire Holy Spirit visits the Church, making God in human flesh; as He did before Sodom, the burning there, which was a type. Then, Abraham, He appeared to him.

22 And all the things that He hasn’t done down through the ages, in the church ages, He is now doing. Back to the Word, because the messages and the messages and the messages has to wind up in the entire Word. And in the last days, the Seven Seals being opened, was to pick up every straggle that’s been left off in it, and make the whole thing in one great big body of the Bride ([JBP] and he writes on the left, upwards): [WSS] «the Holy Spirit incarnate today», that them who lived back there was not perfect until this Church be perfected, this Bride group in the last days, to bring them in ([JBP] there he also writes): [WSS] «God in the flesh» and all together be taken up. See?

23 The Token, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, is among us. We should reverence that. We—we—we—we can’t humble ourselves enough. Taking off your shoes, or getting on your knees, wouldn’t expel it; it wouldn’t—it wouldn’t satisfy it ([JBP] look!)…

[JBP] Now notice what He demands; it says:

[23] We—we—we—we can’t humble ourselves enough ([JBP] taking off our shoes, or getting on our knees, or prostrating). Taking off your shoes, or getting on your knees, wouldn’t expel it; it wouldn’t—it wouldn’t satisfy it, wouldn’t suffice us; but a life that brings forth the fruit of the Spirit!

[JBP] That’s how we actually reverence Him!

24 Now what is the fruit of the Spirit? See? Love, joy, peace.

25 Remember this morning? Preparation, sent the messenger with the Message. Next thing He done, after He sent the messenger with the Message, He sent the Pillar of Fire for a vindication. Next thing was, after that, was a constella-…or consolation. See? You knew that it was right, you was at peace ([JBP] oh, blessed be the Lord!). We have peace with God, through the Lord Jesus Christ. See?

[JBP] Now, he says that [WMB] He sent His Message, He sent the Pillar of Fire as vindication; then He sent the Consolation.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] And it tells us about that in Isaiah, chapter 61, verse 2:

Isaiah 61:2

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord ([JBP] that is where Jesus stopped), and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

[JBP] And there is the Consolation.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, our brother William goes on to say here [“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”]:

[WSS] See how simple everything is? Everything is so simple that there is no way we can overlook it.

We don’t have to be afraid of the coming judgments, we don’t have to be afraid of the death that will come during the great tribulation, why? Because we have the token applied.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “COUNTDOWN,” Reverend William Branham tells us on page 29:

[62-0909M - “Countdown,” p. 24, paras. 114-115]

114 In the natural achievement, they’re taken off to the moon. In the spiritual achievement we’re taking off towards Heaven. Amen! The natural astronaut is trying to find him a place on the moon ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Laodicea». We done already got a place in Heaven([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «in the Age of the Cornerstone» all ready. “In My Father’s House are many mansions. I’ll go and prepare a place for you, and send an Astronaut back to get you [WSS] «Moses and Elijah, and Jesus».” (…)

[JBP] He has made that promise: He has fulfilled it!

[114] Countdown! “Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero!” The fire begins [WSS] «the 7 Thunders» ([JBP] he writes there) to spread, the ministry’s crowned in Glory. Hallelujah! And the old rocket begins to take off, not pointed towards the moon ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Laodicea – 7th age»…

[JBP] That is why, those last women who were in the back, looking back, towards where? Laodicea. No, not looking… not pointing back, but up, towards glory.

[114] … but pointed towards Glory. Yonder she is, the fire of God spreading. The power of the Holy Ghost lifting her up and beyond the moon ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «ages», stars, beyond ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «ages, messengers» anything that could ever be achieved by man. The Church will take her flight to the bosoms of God in Heaven, one of these mornings.

[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «Sun of the East».

And he also writes there: [WSS] «In the Morning with the Morning Sun, of the 7th dispensation and of the 7th millennium».

[114] Friends, the man has been able to achieve what they have by their natural things, and God (I proved it here) has typed it by the spiritual.

115 Let’s get in the Astronaut, quickly! The doors will be closed after while.

[JBP] And in the front here he writes… he draws a Cornerstone, the ages, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone.

And he writes: [WSS] «The ministry is crowned in glory at Zero Hour».

And above «ministry» he writes: [WSS] «Rev. 11:3-7, 7:2, 22:6».

[WSS] «The Fire spreads at Zero Hour», he also writes there.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William goes on to say here [“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE SOUL”]:

[WSS] (...) That is why everything that comes from God for His Church at this time, comes where? To the Soul, to the Most Holy Place of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why those who are in the Holy Place, or in the Outer Court, can’t see it.

[JBP] Now you understand why some see it and others don’t. He says:

[WSS] To the Soul, to the Most Holy Place of the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why those who are in the Holy Place, or in the Outer Court, can’t see it.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED,” on page 34, Reverend William Branham tells us:

[63-0728 - “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed,” pp. 34-35, paras. 248-252]

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!

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?

[JBP] Now, he writes there: [WSS] «Know the Word by revelation to be saved».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this message “TIME TO BE STRONG AND WORK,” which was preached January 5, 2013 in Cayey, Puerto Rico, Dr. William Soto says:

TIME TO BE STRONG AND WORK

Dr. William Soto Santiago

Saturday, January 5, 2013

Cayey, Puerto Rico

In the heart is where the Lord dwells. But remember: some have the anointing of the Spirit only in the spirit, that is, in the holy place, which is the person’s spirit; but they must have It in the most holy place: in the soul, because that is where the new birth takes place. If the Holy Spirit doesn’t go into the person’s soul, he does not obtain the new birth, he is still an intellectual believer ([JBP] that is why he says that [WSS] «not all the born again will make the rapture», because it was in the Spirit under the Dispensation of Grace), a believer who does not have the Wedding Garment to go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, does not have the oil of the Spirit in the soul, in his heart.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In the message “THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED”… And there is a way… For the Dispensation of Grace those memorials were carried out, in which the death and burial were shown: water baptism; but under the Dispensation of the Kingdom it’s a different way.

Now, he says:

[62-0318 - “The Spoken Word Is The Original Seed,” paras. 773-778]

773 That proves that God speaks His Message through His servants. Always has. That’s right.

[JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the left.

774 Now, the power of the believing Church. “Christ has all power in heavens and earth.” You believe that? Now, what if He’s in you? Has Christ got all power? ([JBP] And he draws a Star of David on the left). Matthew 28:18. All right. He is the Seed-Word in His Body. And He, in us, becomes the Seed-Word in us. What? All that God was, He poured into Christ; and all Christ was, was poured into the Church. That’s the power.

775 Now watch. Remember God’s law of reproduction, now, remember, “After its kind.” That right? The Seed of Christ, the Word ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the 2nd Coming», must come through His Body ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «the Bride». (...)

776 Are you getting tired? All right. Just a minute now. Let’s just hold quiet and pray. I want to get this in, real good. I want this to grind down.

777 The Seed of Christ must, m-u-s-t, must come through His Body; not through a denomination, but through a born-again Seed of the Word, must come through.

[JBP] And he writes on the left: [WSS] «The Coming of the Word through His Body».

And he draws a Star of David.

He continues to say:

[777] Now, remember. What is it? Christ’s Seed.

778 How does my seed come? Through the body. How does the apple tree seed come? Through the body. Seed is through the Body, and the Church is the Body of Christ.

[JBP] And he writes there: [WSS] «The 2nd Coming of the Lord through one who is born again».

What we have been reading and showing, he wrote it there, based on what our brother Branham said there.

[WSS] «The 2nd Coming of the Lord through one who is born again».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, he goes on to say here, in this message: “THE ORIGIN OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD,” our brother William says, which was on April 20, 1975; look, he says:

THE ORIGIN OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD

Dr. William Soto Santiago

Sunday, April 20, 1975

Ponce, Puerto Rico

This didn’t happen in any of the disciples, in any of the apostles; only a portion became incarnate in them, but the full Word, the Theophany, never became incarnate. The Theophany was with them, It walked with them here and there, but It was never inside them.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now look, in this message “WHO IS THIS MELCHISEDEC?” Reverend William Branham tells us on page 25, he says:

[65-0221E - “Who Is This Melchisedec?” p. 20, paras. 110]

110 Therefore, the theophany, if you have died and entered into that theophany, (what happens?) the theophany comes to the earth to pick up the redeemed body. And if you’re here in the air ([JBP] and he draws a Cornerstone, the ages, and an arrow towards the Cornerstone, and he writes): [WSS] «Air» ([JBP] meaning, in the air: in the Cornerstone), you take the body to meet the theophany ([JBP] where do we meet our theophany? In the Age of the Cornerstone), there you are, “and caught up, and go to meet the Lord in the air.”

[JBP] And he writes: [WSS] «The Resurrection».

And he also writes there: [WSS] «The theophany comes to get the body».

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say [“THE ORIGIN OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD”]:

[WSS] And that is the great thing for the children of God of this time; that is the great thing, which is on the move in this moment in which we live.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, in the message “THE END-TIME SIGN SEED,” he says there: “Now…”, page 13 says:

[62-0319 - “The End-Time Sign Seed,” pp. 15-16, paras. 89-94]

89 Now, to disbelieve God’s Word, or mix It with something to have more Light, you can’t mix It, It won’t mix. You’ve got to believe It just the way God wrote It, and the way He spoke It. It is not to be added to, or taken away from, or anything, you believe It that way.

90 Now, and when Job being a prophet, finally the vision broke through, and then when he seen how that God was going to make a way for a man to live again, because there would be another spoken Word that a virgin would receive.

91 That was Eve, first, that doubted It. When the Word come to Mary, she never doubted It, she said, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy Word.” See, she never—she never said, “Now, you wait till I feel life, and then I’ll go testify ([JBP] meaning, “until I see and feel that my... that my belly is moving, when I feel that there is a life in there, then I’ll go testify”). You wait till I’m positive of it” ([JBP] that is, until the pregnancy is certain).

92 That’s the way we Christians, so-called, today do, “Wait till I’m positive. Wait till I begin to get better.” And, “Wait till I see something happen, and then I’ll do it.” No, sir, that’s not the—that’s not the question, you believe it first.

93 What did Elijah tell the—the woman that he went to, with nothing but a handful of meal? He said, “Make me a cake first, then go start…” The miracle will happen after you take God’s Word first. You begin to believe God’s Word, and then the miracle takes place on the Word, because the Word is the Seed that brings forth the miracle…

[JBP] If you don’t receive the Word, how are you going to see the miracle? If that seed for that miracle to happen, that healing or whatever you are asking for, is in the Word! You must first receive the Word and believe It!

[93] … got to take the Word first. The Holy Spirit gives It life, like water falling from Heaven.

94 We know that the Holy Spirit represents, uh, the water represents the Holy Spirit, like, “As Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up.” What? A perishing people. And when he lifted up the brass serpent, it saved the life of the perishing people; when he smote the Rock, Christ is that Rock that was smitten, and out of Him come the waters of Life for a perishing people. You must believe it, act upon it, now, remember now.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Now, our brother William continues to say here [“THE ORIGIN OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD”]:

[WSS] Now, notice, the Word is currently becoming incarnate in us, It is becoming incarnate; that Word is being wrapped in human flesh; that body of the sixth dimension will be covered by human flesh. That same human flesh you currently have, that will be the human flesh that your theophany will have; in other words, that will be your theophany’s veil of human flesh.

[JBP] But where would we be receiving our theophany? At the top, in the Age of Cornerstone, in the Dispensation of the Kingdom.

We have seen, on this occasion, /in/ this brief summary of what is the Holy Spirit going from the Outer Court into the Holy Place, and to the Most Holy Place. And at this end time It must be in the Most Holy Place. If It is not in the Most Holy Place, the person cannot see the promises that are there; nor can he come in contact with his theophany.

“THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BECOMING INCARNATE AND WORKING IN HIS CHURCH.”

Let’s stand, and to… if our brother Williams Romero is around, if he is around, and he can accompany us with the song on this occasion. I don’t know if he is here with us, from the... in this area or if he is in another area… (ah, here he is!), and he can accompany us with the song: “Fill My Soul with Your Holy Spirit.”

Fill me, Lord, with Your power! Teach me, Lord! Increase my faith, Lord! Faith to use that power. We need it, Lord!

“Fill my soul with Your Holy Spirit.”

FILL MY SOUL WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT

1

Fill me with Your Spirit in my soul,

I want to be born in Your Kingdom in this dispensation.

Give me of Your Power, fill me with Your Anointing,

Oh, my Claimer!

2

Fill me with Your Spirit in my soul,

I have received you as my Claimer.

I testify with my faith in this confession,

Oh, my Claimer!

Pre-CHORUS

You are my Lord, You are my Doctor,

You are my José, my Claimer.

CHORUS

// Fill my soul with Your Holy Spirit,

([JBP] Fill it, Lord!)

fill my soul with Your Holy Anointing.

([JBP] Yes, Lord!)

May your Word be made flesh in me,

may Your Power be manifested in me. //

[JBP] Yes, Lord.

Abide in Your people, Lord, take Your place! Visit every seat, every brother, and look at their heart, Lord; today they open it to You. Today, Lord, they have nothing to hide from You.

If there is a cursed thing: may it be taken away; and may You see us pure, cleansed; because we want Your fullness, Lord, to dwell in each soul, in each of Your Venezuelan elect, and across the face of the Earth where Your Bride is.

O Lord!, pour out Your power; and increase our faith to use that power; for we need that faith, which You are giving us through these Seven Thunders.

Thank you, Lord, because You hear me. Thank you, Lord, because I am here, in this place, vindicating Your word being brought to Life, and settling in the heart of Your elect.

And Lord, may they feel their theophany around them, whispering to them and telling them: “It’s almost time! Soon I will come inside you and transform you!” It is a promise; therefore, we believe it.

We can feel our theophany, which many times reprimands us, and pulls us by the ear, and tells us: “Get yourself in order! Or you’ll suffer a blow”; and we straighten up!

He saw the Bride walk straight; one or two fell off the path, but he brought it to their attention. And since She is an obedient Bride, She walks straight; she dusts herself off and continues straight ahead! She doesn’t stop.

You are a warrior, you are an overcomer! Therefore, don’t be dismayed.

Keep going, with every step, with every stumble, for God is with you! The Theophany guides you, which is the Word.

The sixth dimension is opening up for the elect; and the fifth dimension for the world. We don’t want to have anything to do with the fifth dimension, Lord; but rather we desire for the sixth dimension to rule our lives, as individuals, as a family, as a group of believers, as a congregation, as an age, as a dispensation.

“Fill my soul with Your Holy Spirit.”

[The audience sings the song again].

[In the final CHORUS]: ([JBP] Yes, Lord!)

[JBP] Yes, Lord.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, brother Branham told us, in the message: “THE FLASHING RED LIGHT OF THE SIGN OF HIS COMING”; he says:

[63-0623E - “The Flashing Red Light Of The Sign Of His Coming,” pp. 3-4, paras. 16-22]

16 Then at Shawano just recently in, oh, I’d say, in the last, about, four years ago, or five, I was speaking one night at the armory. And there was a great crowd of people. And a elderly man of some eighty years old, I guess, and his lovely wife, they were Lutheran by faith, go to that great famous Lutheran church there. I forget the name of it now. It’s the largest Lutheran gathering in America, at one single gathering, of church membership. And it’s a great country for the Lutheran. And while I was speaking, I noticed the fellow, head going back like that ([JBP] backwards, like this); and his hands went out, and he pitched forward, dead in the chair. And his wife begin screaming, and she screamed out, “Somebody help me! Somebody help me!”

17 And I looked. I said, “Just everyone keep seated, be quiet.” See? I waited for the Lord to give me a word. And—and I…Satan…I was just fixing to make the altar call, and that’s just when he wants to show hisself.

18 So did you ever notice when you start to make a altar call, even little babies will start screaming, and things like that? That’s Satan. You who are spiritual understand.

19 So the Lord gave me his name, and I called him, and he come to life just like that.

20 And this morning when I was turning, see, and I’ve seen, many times, the Lord Jesus bring back the dead. The little baby in Mexico died at nine o’clock that morning, and this was between ten and eleven that night it come back to life. And—and that’s a bona fide testimony with doctor’s witness of it, see, that the baby died in his office at nine o’clock that morning. I think it was pneumonia. And the baby is living today, so far as I know. And that was before, oh, my, thirty, forty thousand people.

21 And then this morning I seen our Brother Way, as he’s setting, he was setting right here now. But as he was setting right along in here somewhere, he was standing. And we were singing, and, “Glory, glory, hallelujah,” and shaking one another’s hands. I noticed him as it struck him, and his head went back. He, Brother Way, isn’t given to things like anything like of fainting or going like that. And, he, I seen him fall backwards. And I seen his wife, which is a registered nurse, check his pulse. And she screamed; it was gone.

22 And—and then I believe it was Sister Nash, a lady here, a colored sister that comes to the church, some of them started running forward. And now she, Mrs. Way, kept reaching for me to come across the platform. And I said, “Everybody keep quiet, keep in your seat.” Don’t never be excited in them kind of times. See? That’s what Satan wants to do. Just wait and see what He says. If it’s somebody moving on to Glory, well, we got to go sometime, no better place than in church, so—so then right in the house of the Lord. So then…

[JBP] In every place we must maintain this same order, this stillness, and wait for Him; and may He work when His Church is in order.

[WMB] “When the Church (brother Branham said) recognizes Her position, the rapture will take place.” But the stages of the Third Pull, for a phase to begin and to get closer to what is promised in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, the people must be in order.

May God help all the people of God, not only here in Venezuela —which we already know that God will do great things in the midst of this people—, but in every place where the Church-Bride is being prepared; and carry out the stages in obedience, the Holy Spirit through Her, fulfilling the requirements.

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] Look, in the message “ADOPTION,” brother Branham told us:

[60-0515E - “Adoption #1,” p. 17, paras. 93-96]

93 Did you ever set in one? Oh, I have set till I would weep for joy and say, “God, never let me leave here.” Just Heavenly places in Christ Jesus!

94 Blessing us with what? Divine healing, foreknowledge, revelation, visions, powers, tongues, interpretations, wisdom, knowledge, all the Heavenly blessings, and joy unspeakable and full of Glory, every heart filled with the Spirit, walking together, setting together in Heavenly places, not one evil thought among us, not one cigarette smoked, not one short dress, not one this, that or the other, not one evil thought, nobody got anything against one another, everybody speaking in love and harmony, everybody with one accord in one place, “then suddenly there come from Heaven a sound like a rushing mighty wind.” There you are, “Has blessed us with all spiritual blessings.”

95 Then the Holy Spirit might fall upon somebody, and say, “THUS SAITH THE LORD. Go to a certain place and do a certain thing.” Watch it happen just like that. [Brother Branham snaps his fingers—Ed.] ([JBP] It says that Brother Branham [snap-snap-snap!]: snaps his fingers three times) See? “THUS SAITH THE LORD. Do a certain thing at a certain place.” Watch it happen like that. ([JBP] And brother Branham [snap-snap!] snaps his fingers twice). [Brother Branham snaps his fingers.]

96 “Blessed us together in all Heavenly blessings in Heavenly places.”

[JBP] Those are the treasures of the promised land!

The Holy Spirit can come down right now [snap-snap-snap!], and I can say: “Go to such-and-such a place, and bring me such-and-such a thing,” and: THUS SAITH THE LORD, it is done.

May there be no anger, hatred, bad intentions, nor lack of unity in this place, nor any place.

We are all the Mystical Body of believers. We are all the same! He wants us to be the same as His firstborn Son; starting from the minister to the smallest family member. We are a body of believers that He is preparing.

May love reign in your hearts, and may we be understanding of one other, forgiving; and may we help our brother to get up and keep going, may we actually encourage him to continue with us until the goal of the transformation.

Don’t put your foot in his way to trip him; instead, help him! And tell him: “Be careful with that, you might fall!” And hold him. That is a true believer.

God help us to completely reflect the life of the firstborn Son of God! Because that is where we are heading, to the stature of that Perfect Man. And as a Mystical Body of believers we help each other.

I have seen, with my own eyes: barriers coming down, yokes being let go, being delivered in many ways! Today I am seeing that here in Venezuela.

Lord, take away every spirit of error! Remove all unbelief! And Lord, allow Your Holy Spirit to be free among this Venezuelan people. And may it not be because of an elect that the blessing is not in Venezuela; may he may repent and ask God for mercy so that he does not grieve the Holy Spirit, and so that the wrath of God moves away from this country.

He knows who His children are. Out of love for His elect: believe it, He is already in action. Are you seeing that pebble start to move? I feel it! Because that is what I desire for Venezuela.

I remember at the table there on July 28th in Villahermosa, I made a request to God there. Today I have seen how that Word is being fulfilled.

But remember one thing: it starts with you. Don’t wait for the other person, the next, or the next; start with yourself, and then help the other.

“Fill my soul (once more) with Your Holy Spirit.”

Ooh, what a beautiful atmosphere!

[SONG “Fill my soul with Your Holy Spirit”]

[2nd stanza]: [JBP] We testify at this hour. Yes, Lord!

[Dr. Jose B. Perez] In this writing, he said there: [WSS] «The countries that look…», and using Isaiah 45:1 [22]: [WSS] «Isaiah 45:[22]. “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth”».

[WSS] «The countries that look and see, and receive, the 2nd Coming of Christ, will be saved from the judgments of the great tribulation, and will enter into the Millennial Kingdom».

[JBP] Today Venezuela has seen me, has received me as the fulfillment of the Second Coming of the Lord! Therefore, Venezuela will enter into the glorious Millennial Kingdom together with its inhabitants! And it will be a great representation of God’s power; it will be a living testimony that a people was oppressed and was delivered!

Venezuela, we will see each other in the Millennium; we will see each other in that glorious Kingdom of peace, of happiness, of joy, of prosperity!

Oh, Lord, pour out Your blessings upon this people: spiritual healing, physical healing; whoever needs it, Lord!

You know each one of those brethren, precious brethren, who love You, who love Your Work; who have been on this trajectory of the Pillar of Fire guiding us; and today they are seeing It incarnate, and they have said: “Today it is the reality of the One who accompanied us along the way, today He is speaking directly to our soul!” Lord, You know them. They love You and, Lord, they desire of Your blessings.

Prosper Venezuela spiritually and materially as well! Oh, Eternal God! In the Eternal Name of the Son of David, King of kings and Lord of lords, in Your Claiming Work, William. Amen and amen.

Calling on the Name of the Lord “and I will bless them,” says the priestly blessing. [Numbers 6:22-27]

God bless you and keep you.

And it has truly been a great blessing for me to be able to see, in the spiritual realm, Venezuela’s deliverance. And I am seeing and I will keep seeing, and I will continue to see, the physical deliverance of each one of you.

May God bless you, may God keep you.

And someday you will know how much I love Venezuela! I love you with a sincere heart. My heart will always be here; never doubt it.

And however many times the Lord allows me to be here and share the Word that He puts in my mouth, I will be here.

Take care not to be careless.

God help us all to arrive; because the Scripture says: “They overcame him.” [Apocalipsis 12:11] Therefore, in our journey, with struggles or without struggles, we will make it.

“THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BECOMING INCARNATE AND WORKING IN HIS CHURCH,”; because He is the One who does the Work.

“THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BECOMING INCARNATE AND WORKING IN HIS CHURCH.”

There is really a beautiful atmosphere!

You truly are a special people. No wonder God raised up this man of God from here, who has been such a blessing for all of Latin America and the entire world: our beloved brother Miguel Bermudez Marin. Which is why we thank God for him; and we thank God for you [he points to the audience with his index finger].

“THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BECOMING INCARNATE AND WORKING IN HIS CHURCH.”

Let’s leave with us, without further ado, our dear brother and friend, Dr. William Soto Santiago.
