Yesterday, Sunday. Yesterday it was what? 13, right? Yesterday, that day like yesterday (as we said) was the day where he expressed those very important words, in which… That has been read many times, but the great revelation that is there…!
He was speaking some words. First he started…, I remember he started by saying: [WSS] “I love you.” “I love you”…: God’s love.
Then: [WSS] “God bless you” (he could pronounce it).
And then that Sunday, look at all those things that he spoke: to young people, he spoke to…; and he spoke of the Message that had been brought; because the Message and the messenger are the same. The Message contains the preparation for transformation and rapture.
[WSS] “It has been my privilege to bring this Message of Cornerstone, which prepares the Church-Bride to be transformed and raptured.”1
[JBP] And anyone could say: “Well then, everything is already there, there is no need for anything else.”
The Message is brought, but the mystery of the Rapturing Faith still locked up.
Brother Branham brought that revelation of what was going to be happening in the Seals, which were not yet fulfilled; he brought what had happened in the first three Seals, and… Although we saw that he said that [WSS] “the Third Seal, or… of the first three Seals, if there is anything that was not yet completed, it would be completed at this time,” brother William said.2
He could say it; because since it was in the Dispensation of Grace, and those Seals belonged to the Dispensation of Grace, then he could say that if there was something that had not yet been fulfilled then it would be fulfilled in that end time, where he was.
But look, brother Branham spoke all that, and anyone could say: “Well… that’s it. Nothing else is needed; because the Message is there, it was already brought; and the Rapturing Faith is already there.”
But we see that God had in His Program to send that Archangel, as it was in the First Coming, and thus vindicate the birth of the forerunner, and then vindicate the one who would come: the one forerun.
Gabriel did two labors there; because he said to Mary: “Behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also… has in her womb…,”3 and told her all things pertaining to that forerunner.
But in brother Branham’s time the transformation was not fulfilled - the resurrection and transformation, nor was the rapture; that promise was not fulfilled at that time.
Then in brother William’s Message…, a prophetic Message, a Message that showed from Genesis all that the Work of God…, that God fulfilled in past times, what He was fulfilling at that time that he was ministering, and what would be later on; a Message through the center of the Scripture. And, well, everything is in that Message.
But they can have the Message, the letter, and not have the revelation of what that Message brought; because if they had it (I believe this is the third time we say it), we would have already been in the Millennium, the rapture would have happened. Because, then, why are we waiting?
And he comes and speaks to us those very important words, where he tells us: [WSS] “When you see that prophet ([JBP] he already identified him) fulfilling ([JBP] then, he must be doing a work) that Work of the Seventh Seal in the Tent Vision with the ministries of Moses and Elijah… ([JBP] you already know what it says there); and there ([JBP] that ‘and’ means very much) you will see me again”4; because at that time of that ministry the resurrection would take place.
And the resurrection will come in the midst of that ministry.
Notice, that ministry, he showed us (and perhaps many didn’t realize)… when the Holy Supper that took place that Sunday that our brother Miguel wasn’t able to enter… A little before, that incident had already happened, that he wasn’t able to enter Puerto Rico; after that, there was Holy Supper. I don’t remember if it was exactly at that time; we have to see if it was exactly when he was going to come to have the Holy Supper or if it was later on.5
The thing is that when the Holy Supper had to be taken, he wasn’t there. I remember that I had already made (let’s say) my plans. I said: “Well, I’ll talk to Billy to help me, and so then… (as it happens when Miguel is there, then I help); and well, Billy is there.”
And I already had: “Well, everything is already prepared.” Like when one does the work: “Well, I have this one for this, I have…”
And when I stand up, I remember Billy was coming, and I say to brother William:
— [JBP] “Brother William, I told Billy to help me here, to…”
And he looks at me and he says: [WSS] “No. You will do it by yourself.”
And I: [JBP] “Oh my!” Everything goes back, everything I had…
See? Many times one… The human being, the individual, can’t create things in his mind, but rather wait for divine guidance.
Notice, that ministry was in its infancy; it was already a little more grown there, but still growing; he was under the Tutor.
— [WSS] “No. Do it by yourself.”
— [JBP] “But… Now things have been switched around here, wait.”
And there Billy was already arriving…; because I should have asked him before, and I didn’t have to go through that… And I told him: “Billy…,” I don’t know if I told you: “Stay there helping those in line or…” That was a sudden brake: Skrrrr!
And I: “Well, Lord, for-...” I hadn’t even practiced how to pour soap and water at the same time; and that was a mess on my hands. And I: “But…” I think I used more water than the two of us have used in all the Holy Suppers together, because the soap wouldn’t come out and everything. And then I was meditating on every single thing.
But notice how God worked, and showed there that there was going to come a time when only one was going to be ministering.
After that, in every Holy Supper there was only one. And since we were in the Dispensation of Grace, that was still out…; although there was an interlace there, we were living in that interlace; but with that was being shown that what was to come next was going to be a ministry, which was the only one that was going to be ministering in the Most Holy Place.
Notice how God in that interlace there, with part of the things of Grace, was showing what was already going to be in the Dispensation of the Kingdom; where only one was the one who was going to be ministering the people; what? The Bread and the Wine, that is, the Food, the Manna. Wine represents the stimulus of the Holy Spirit.
Notice, all of that was representing what in the Most Holy Place, in the Age of the Cornerstone, that ministry was going to be ministering to the people, but only one.
And also there, Joseph in the time of brother Branham. Remember that quote when he says that [WMB] “Joseph was called to the ministry”? There I understood that Scripture (I think we read it), where he says that: “Joseph was called to the ministry, and Billy was not,”6 it says something like that; and he writes it.
And notice how one is called to the ministry. Because one thing is the Work that God would be carrying out through that ministry, and another thing is the helper that would be there, which would have a ministry.
Because Billy had the ministry (Billy Paul) of the tape or answering the letters; he was the secretary, something like that.7
In other words, there was a work of Billy; but it was Joseph the one that God had shown him to name him Joseph8, and that he was going to be called to the ministry; which he is now as the leader of that group, and ministering the Word. And there is going to come a time when he is going to see.
Now, notice how that ministry started there. And we could say: “But hey, but if before he was helping [brother] Miguel, why doesn’t he allow him to help?” There he was representing what that ministry was going to be in the Age of the Cornerstone.
And that ministry, as we read yesterday, that part, where everything happens between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal…
What is the Sixth Seal? Moses and Elijah.
What is the Seventh Seal? The Coming of the Lord.
And it says that it is before the rapture; in other words, it is in that ministry. In that time span: it is for the Bride, it is for the foolish, it is for the lost; and there: yesterday we read in several places where he says that those 144,000 are sealed before the beginning of the great tribulation; for them as well.9
When it says: [WMB] “That happens between the Sixth and Seventh Seal,”10 it is during the ministry of the Coming of the Lord. I believe that we already explained it there or we already talked about it in that clear way; because that ministry operates alone.
The Work of Redemption that Jesus did, He did it alone. He was there on Mount Transfiguration with the ministries of Moses and Elijah speaking to them about going to Jerusalem; and He did that Work alone.
And the Claiming Work will be done by only one as well, because he is the one who has the Title Deed.
Now look, he says that Adam had it, and he could say to this mountain: “Move from here to there,” and everything; but he did not eat it11.
Jesus takes it in Heaven, opens it, doesn’t eat it; and you can see what a great Work He carried out. But let’s go to the part of Jesus, let’s refrain in that part of the Title.
Notice, Jesus in His body created by God is going to do that Work of Redemption, in that body created by God; and He was not yet glorified, He did not have that glorified body that He received when He resurrected. In other words, the Work that He carried out was being in that body created by God, and He did that Work of Redemption.
He couldn’t come with the glorified body and do the Work of Redemption, because then God would be invalidating His Word: of all the Work that He does in the midst of the human race is through a prophet. Then that Work of Redemption had to be fulfilled through Jesus before obtaining that eternal and glorified body that He received.
And this is how the Claiming Work is: God has to make the claim through His Coming, the fulfillment of His Coming, using an instrument.
A glorified and eternal body cannot come to do that Claiming Work, because then God would be invalidating His Word; it would be above of what He has already been doing from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation. And that Claiming Work must be done through the one who eats the Title Deed.
The Work of Redemption couldn’t be done outside this dimension, in a body…; although it was created by God, but it was the body before receiving the glorified body; and that Work of Redemption was carried out.
It couldn’t be done afterwards, because afterwards God would be invalidating His Word.
A glorified, resurrected body cannot come to carry out that work; because it has to be a body of flesh, human.
There we made that summary, that review again. We said that part again for it to be well established.
Adam had it; he didn’t eat it.
Notice, brother Branham did many things. God showed through him, to the Church, those five manifestations; but he had not eaten that Title Deed; but, all the things God showed through him!
Jesus takes it, opens it, hands it to a man… And the Work that He desired, from the beginning, was for Adam to eat it. But notice, it is at the end of time that He comes, hands it to him, and says: “And now eat it.”12 He orders him to eat it.
Why? Because it is the time when the Claiming Work can be done, because the Title is in the Church; and not only in the Church, but it is in a man who ate it; and there the Claiming Work can be done.
The Claiming Work couldn’t be done in any of the past ages and dispensations because the Title wasn’t in a man.
And that is then, when they don’t accept the way provided by God, then they begin to invalidate the Word. How do they invalidate it? By adding to it or taking away from it; but it is always for one reason: they don’t receive the way provided by God.
And then they cast aside, they begin to invalidate the Word, they begin to invalidate what God has been working from age to age and from dispensation to dispensation; which that Word cannot be invalidated. And whoever takes away or adds to it has a consequence.
And they may say: “But how are we going to take away or add to it?” Well, very easy and very simple: by placing in thought and in people (if they are ministers, what they speak) another thing that is not what God has promised and what He has spoken and fulfilled in past times.
For example, to say that a person who has already departed is coming to fulfill a promise: there you are already invalidating the Word.
And that has been spoken —so that later they don’t say that it has not been spoken— perhaps now more clearly than what brother Branham and brother William spoke.
You cannot place a glorified body to do the Work of Redemption, nor can you place a glorified body to do the Claiming Work; for if it had been so, then there was no need to send Jesus, and He would send His glorified body there and do the Work of Redemption; and at the end time He would then send the relevant messenger to do that Work in His glorified body and do the Claiming Work.
And if you go further back…, and I only gave those two examples, but let’s go further back: In Noah’s time (let’s say) then there was no need to send Noah, but He sent heavenly hosts (which were there helping Noah, anyhow), but He sent them without sending Noah: “Well, let’s prepare a high area here, and let’s all come here, and let’s save ourselves.”
In other words, the Work that God would have carried out, notice, it was easier then without using… He had no need to use human beings. Didn’t brother Branham say?: [WMB] “Look, God could have ordained the sun to evangelize the world, and in less than nothing…”13; but it pleases Him to use man.
And look… there is a part where… Let’s see where I portrayed here, that says… In the book of Quotations14, on [page] 105, on 916:
916 – “150 Jesus cared enough for the Message of today to bring these same things to pass as He said, till He died and rose again to send them by the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to show His ministry today that He’s still alive. He cared enough.”
[JBP] He writes there in that…: [WSS] «Jesus is interested in the fulfillment of His promises».
And so it is at His Second Coming, He is interested in the fulfillment of His promises. And His people as well, because he says:
916 – “Won’t we care? That’s the thing, won’t we care? He died for this ministry. He died in order that the Holy Spirit could be here in this day to show these things. He cared for you. He cared to bring It here. He cared to make the statement. He cared because He loved you. He cared enough to do it, to send the Holy Spirit to this, make this ministry today.”
[JBP] See, He knew that by leaving, the Holy Spirit would come, that new birth would come to everyone who believed in Him.
And at His Second Coming, he knows that by leaving, that double portion will come to the Church.
It is only three days; it is a short time in which… Notice, it says: “I will smite the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered.”15 But it is a time where the people, that is, the elect, already know beforehand that work; and they will remain waiting, without anyone saying, nor doing, nor: “Let’s do this here then or the other,” instead they will remain waiting for the resurrection.
Because in the Most Holy Place ministers: only one. It is not that God is going to raise another person when that happens. That ministry will remain ministering.
Then in Heaven, notice how after He descends to the seventh dimension, descends: appears there, and there is a judgment there in the sixth dimension. Notice, He is ministering there as well. Because that will have already happened in the midst of the Church, that when He resurrects with all the saints, then the Church-Bride at that time is ready, ready to be able to receive her eternal, glorified body.
It is not that He will come in the resurrection to prepare the Bride; the Bride will already be ready. And she is quite ready, she is quite prepared; and she is already in this stage of receiving more solid things, more solid Food, which is only for those who will be raptured.
Thereafter, you cannot shove solid food to a baby, because they will choke; every human being in their own size receives certain food.
That is why we are able to understand that there are people who cannot see, cannot understand; but we will not stop loving them because of that, nor will we stop helping them in whatever way we can help them.
We help them, because they are also virgins; and if they are virgins, then they are from an important part of that pattern (of that fabric) that is cut. Notice, from the same fabric; but there is a group that is selected to fulfill a certain work and another one for another work.
We cannot cast them aside or treat them badly, but rather with love; and understand that they are also chosen for that. Each one is chosen for the group that corresponds to them.
That is why you can see that in a race some stay behind, and those who have the strength to continue are the ones who go to the front; but, in that marathon, some people stay behind. But they all started. And at the end the ones that arrive are those who what? The strongest, those who have the strongest muscles; although sometimes there are weak skinny ones who also arrive; but we are representing it in those muscles of faith, in the faith that those elect have.
Because notice, to them is given the Rapturing Faith; Rapturing Faith is given to them, faith, revelation; for Word follows Word.
That is why when he was saying yesterday that the identification of every chosen one at this time… when we see Moses we identify ourselves there: “That is how we were there with Moses.” [WMB] “I was before the burning bush. I was there when the sea opened.”16
But why did he say that? Well, because since we are taken out of that Great Shekinah, of that Great Theophany, automatically, everything that God did from the beginning, we were there.
It is the people, it is the group, that has been in all of God’s trajectory!
Do you know what that is?! In all that God did since the Creation until this day, we were in every stage!
We were even inside the big fish17.
In other words, you meditate on something from the Bible, in the part of the Work of God, and there you see yourself. And you can make a scene of… being there, for example, with… the time of Abraham and Sarah, when Elohim, Gabriel and Michael appeared to them: We see him there, Abraham, sitting there in the tent, and us arriving with dusty feet [workers laugh]; because we were in Elohim.
And when Jesus was writing on the ground18, we were also writing on the ground with our finger. It was the finger of the chosen ones writing on the ground as well!
In other words, we can stay aaall the time, until the transformation and all the Millennium and eternity, speaking about all the details that God was doing through His messengers and in the midst of the people, and we wouldn’t finish; because we were always, and we are and we will always be in God, always with God.
And now we can say: “Well, now I am fulfilling what God is doing; and, more and more, I identify myself with Him.”
How? We are moving towards that stature of the perfect Man, and every time we are walking more in God’s steps. Each step we take is already a step that is not of that old man, but we are walking towards perfection: every time more to holiness, every time more and more becoming perfect.
That is why when He says: “Hey, they look so much like Me that I am going to transform them, I am going to bring them. Now I can. I am already emptied in them; I have already filled those vessels.” When brother Branham says: [WMB] “Fill up a few vessels, Lord ([JBP] Of what? Of His presence, of His fullness), and shake this world.”19
There we will then see… When we are at the Marriage Supper, we will see: “Look, I was identified there, that I was one of them. I was one of the last ones that was fulfilling God’s Program on this planet Earth.”
And to have a grand finale, and for us be the ones who close the Divine Program pertaining to this earthly dimension with a grand finale; which later will be established in the Millennial Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Messiah, and that Kingdom of peace and love.
But in this time, the Work that He carried out from the beginning until now, He will close with a grand finale, and for us to be part of that fulfillment; and being hands, feet, of His: That is something great and glorious! That God has allowed us —among so many millions of human beings that have passed through this planet Earth— that He said back in the beginning: “I will place these guys in that time, and in them I will pour Myself out. In them I will work in all My fullness!”
And that is when those 30 to 40 days will be fulfilled where we will shake this world as it has never been done before, debuting those eternal and glorified bodies.
There is also a part, that we spoke of yesterday, where that part of the Sixth Seal and Seventh Seal, the whole mystery is there; which is already being opened and it is no longer a mystery; it comes to be reality.
And everything that God is going to fulfill, in other words, that He is fulfilling and will fulfill, it will be under that time before the rapture.
That is why there was silence in Heaven for half an hour; because the Work that would be carried out as much as for the Bride, the foolish and the lost ones, and for Israel, and the Work that would be carried out in Heaven, which is the judgment there in Heaven, it all belongs: between the Sixth and Seventh Seal.
In other words, it stays inside; because it says: [WMB] “That happens before the rapture, before the great tribulation.” And before that, that judgment has already taken place in Heaven; in other words, even that is within the time of the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord.
The Coming of the Lord becomes those last two Seals, with the Fourth Seal.
The Fourth Seal for the elect… Notice, and “THE FOURTH SEAL” tells us about that white horse Rider of Revelation, where brother Branham speaks there: [WMB] “When our Lord appears here on Earth ([JBP] Where will He appear? Well, upon the Earth), He’ll come upon a snow-white horse ([JBP] horse represents ‘power’; that is, the power of the pure Word), the Word of God incarnate in a man.”20
If the Word will be incarnated in a man, that is telling you that that man has the Title Deed. How many times have we talked about that? And we have not seen all that is involved in that.
And it will be the first occasion (as he told us yesterday in that message) that a man will have the Title; and not only will he have it, but he will have eaten it; that is why the Claiming Work can be done.21
The Claiming Work could not be done in the time of Adam: he had not eaten it (although he had it).
Notice, he can have it and do certain work, but not the Work for which the Title has to come to Earth. He cannot claim.
He said it yesterday (I think it was…, or I read it), where he says: [WSS] “Adam had it,” and he could even tell the trees to move, the mount…; he could do that, but he could not do the Claiming Work. That is why only one can do it.
And if the Title is brought, how are you going to take it back? How are you going to say (let’s say) that brother Branham had the Title Deed?
—“No, he was the one that ate it and took it away.”
—“Oh, he eats it and takes it away? Then search in the Scripture where that is.”
They invalidate the Word.
—“No, brother William was the one who had it; he was the one who ate it.”
—“Aha, go on.”
—“Oh, he took it because he is going to bring it back later.”
That is how brother Branham tells him, we always say that part: [WMB] “I am surprised at the degree of wisdom that you have.”22
There they are adding to the Word, and plagues will be added unto them; and if they take away from It, his name will be taken out of the Book of Life. Those are the last words of Revelation.23
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Therefore, we see how God at this time is fulfilling this… I am looking here where… Look, on 920, that same page we had read; paragraph 920, it says [Quotations]24:
920 – “[193] Look here where we’re at: right here at the top of the pyramid; right here where God has proved it, that the Bible through the seven seals has perfectly been revealed; waiting only now for them seven mysteries ([JBP] and he writes): [WSS] «Thunders» right at last, on the Coming of the Lord and the Rapture of the Church that might happen before morning.”
[JBP] There you have the Sixth Seal and Seventh Seal.
And when does that happen? He says:
920 – “[193] …right at last, on the Coming of the Lord and the Rapture of the Church…”
[JBP] When will those Seven Thunders take place? It says there: [WMB] “Between the Coming of the Lord and the rapture of the Church.” The Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal are there, and the fulfillment of what the Coming of the Lord came to do: in between.
I believe that it is clear what is the Work of the ministries of Moses and Elijah in the midst of the Church before the rapture, and what he would do in the Third Pull: which is for the Church, for the foolish… that is, for the Church (the Church-Bride), the church: the foolish, for the lost, and the Hebrew people.
And he says: [WSS] «Rev. 10:1-6», which that is the Coming of the Mighty Angel, bringing that Title Deed. And he also writes: [WSS] «The Thunders: at the Coming of the Lord».
And he says that the Thunders, brother William says that in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, the Thunders will be spoken there.
And those who don’t accept and don’t receive the provided way of God, well they are going to say that “it is not so,” and they will say: “No, he has to come and preach it.” And the Word is fulfilled that says: “The wise shall understand”25; only the wise.
Those who are not wise will talk and they will speak a lot of things, because they don’t accept the provided way of God; therefore, they are not wise.
It is simple to identify the one who is wise and the one who is not wise. It says: “By their works - by their fruits you shall know them.”26
And since it is the time of that segregation, that separation, then we already see the Work of those ministries doing that work. And many have not even realized what is being done, what God is doing through those ministries, which is the same Word that has done everything. They just get more settled in the Word and they just leave by themselves.
“The wise will understand.” “Daniel, keep that. At the end, the wise will understand. Ah those will understand.” And we talk again about how it’s because we come out of God, we come out of the Shekinah.
And when we see that way provided by God, it is:
— “But it is from where I came out! Of course I am going to enter through that veil! Of course I am going to be inside the Most Holy Place! It is my House, it is my dwelling place, it is the Most Holy Place!”
And they have entered through that veil, which is the provided way by God to return from where we were: from that Great Theophany.
We return again to our place of origin, but through a veil; because God always works through a man; not through groups, but through a man.
His ambassadors are always the men whom He destined for each age and each dispensation from before the foundation of the world.
And through that man is where God would be fulfilling the Seals that had not been fulfilled. Everything will revolve around that veil and the work of those Seals, the content of those Seals, that there is a work to be done there; and as it corresponds to the Most Holy Place, only One is the one who would be ministering in that place; and thus fulfilling the Seals that had not been fulfilled.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] And when he says… [Quotations]27:
924 – “143 But what He wanted to do ([JBP] he is talking about God), He loved fatherhood, for He was a Father. And the only way that He could express it was to become a Son, a Man. That’s the reason Jesus kept saying, “The Son of man.” See, they didn’t know what He was talking about, many of them. But now you get it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] See? He wanted to express Hisself. That was His, one of His great threefold purposes, was to express Himself, identify Himself with human beings, to reveal Hisself in Christ.
144 Secondly, to have the preeminence in His Body of believers, that is, His Bride, that He might live in people.
145 Now, He could do that in Adam and Eve, but sin separated them, so now there had to be some way to get it back again.”
[JBP] He writes: [WSS] «God loved being Father».
And he also writes:
[WSS] «The restoration between God and man».
[JBP] The relationship between God and man (see?) came after the Work of Redemption there on Calvary’s Cross, where we were reconciled with God, and obtained that theophanic body.
But notice that in order to reach the likeness, then there had to be a Work to be carried out: it is the Claiming Work.
We obtained the image, but we are missing the likeness.
And just as the First Coming was fulfilled to do that Work of Redemption and to be reconciled with God, and to obtain the image; to be in the likeness (that is, to have that double portion: to be in the image and likeness) a Claiming Work is required; for which, a man then does that Claiming Work. How? By eating the Title. And by eating the Title, then! the Claiming Work can be done.
Meanwhile, the Claiming Work could not be done until that Title was on Earth, and inside a man.
And he has told us many times: [WSS] “Without the Title Deed on Earth there is no resurrection and no transformation.”28
And how are you going to tell me that it is on the outside, that another man has the Title? Then there could be no resurrection or transformation at this time; God couldn’t then reverse His Program and start all over again; because He would be invalidating the Word, the prophecies.
The Title Deed is on Earth!, the Title Deed is in the midst of the Bride! The Title Deed is in a man! And it is being spoken so that each chosen one can also do the claiming work of his life, his body, and claim what belongs to him.
In other words, without that they cannot claim the eternal and glorified body either, they then cannot claim the inheritance that belongs to them; for we are joint-heirs with God and joint-heirs with Christ Jesus our Lord29.
To all that He is heir, we are heirs.
But notice that for that we need to have the Title Deed inside: to be able as an individual to make that claim of what belongs to us.
And he who doesn’t want the Title Deed: Well that’s fine, don’t worry…; it is that you have no inheritance of that eternal and glorified body; therefore, it doesn’t belong to you.
That is why they reject it, they don’t want it; and then they have to die in the great tribulation; and they miss the whole Millennium.
And then, at the end of the Millennium, well those who have not crossed the line, they obtain eternal life; but they don’t have that glorified body that the elect have at that time, that the elect will have.
Which we can say it like this between… it has all the powers: power windows, power lock, power steering, and it has all the gadgets that (let’s say) a modern car has. Well like that, something like that; so that we understand, something like this.
That eternal and glorified body that the elect have, is not the same that the rest of mankind will have. Some will be able to pass to other dimensions, others will not.
There we already talked about some details that the body of the elect will have. The rest will be living on Earth, and that’s it.
Well, these have been very, very important days that God has allowed us to live; because it is the most glorious time, in which that Claiming Work is being carried out; and that is the reason for that silence in Heaven, while on Earth that Claiming Work is being carried out; where that takes place between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal, before the rapture.
And everything is enclosed in the Coming of the Lord with His Angels, in what was shown on Mount Transfiguration.
On Mount Transfiguration they saw Jesus, Moses and Elijah there; but then that Voice said: “Hear ye Him,” see? And suddenly what happened? They saw Jesus alone30.
That was showing there what would be at the end of time, where only one would be ministering the Most Holy Place. And through that ministry God would carry out everything that was shown in the Tent Vision, where he saw the Pillar of Fire talking to someone above where he was31. In other words, he was in the seventh age and in the part of the gap, that still corresponds to Grace.
How is it that he had drawn that there, where he was living in the time from 3:00 to 6:00 in the morning32.
It is in the fourth watch that they see Him walking and it looked like a ghost:
— “Who could that be?”
Notice, John was looking there in Heaven and could not find Him; and suddenly that bloody Lamb appears: “And where did this one come from?” Many could say so.
A stage begins where there is a storm in the Church, and suddenly the Lord comes out.
And many will say: “But where did he ca-… Oh, wait!” As we say here: “Where in the world did he come from? Now he comes to say that he is the Lord.”
Others will say… (Look it up and see who it was that said: “It is the Lord!” Look it up and see. That is in… check to see if it is in Luke or in Matthew).
Some will identify Him and they will see the one who was told: “Eat the Book, and prophesy over many peoples, nations and tongues.” They will see Him prophesying to all mankind.
Notice, that fast Work that brother Branham says would be carried out33 it is faster than we imagine.
We speak here now and you already have it in Africa, in Switzerland, in no time; you don’t even have to go there personally; it even reaches your cell phone.
Sometimes we get up early: we are pouring cement, and at 4:00 in the morning it goes: bing! [laughter]. And I believe that is the most beautiful sound that an elect hears in the mornings.
And we want those bells to ring one of these mornings, where the resurrection happens; where that sound of joy, of gladness, will come and flood the Church with the resurrection; because we know that when we see them we will be transformed.
All this is in a period of time where that great event would be taking place; which we wish it would be the same day, and that we all would be transformed the same day.
But God always has a Program to make reality and carry out, which for Him can be now; and that “now,” you can say it is hours, or days, and weeks. We do not know how long…
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] That’s the one, yes. And he tells them… (That is 21:7 of John):
John 21
1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them…
[JBP] (Yes, but start looking for the one that says of the storm, where Jesus was walking on the waters). This is another one here too, when it says:
3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the morning was now come…
[JBP] Dawn breaking, in that fourth stage of the Bride’s restoration, which is from 6:00 to 9:00.
4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus ([JBP] they didn’t know).
5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6 And he said unto them…
[JBP] All this was Him speaking to them; and He was giving them the things to do there.
5 …have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved…
[JBP] That was John. Notice who knew who Jesus was.
And John, the beloved disciple, represents the Church.
Notice, in Revelation, John was the one that the Angel on the Isle of Patmos showed him the book of Revelation and all that God would be doing in the ages, and at the end of time in His Coming and the Millennium; and the City then, after the Millennium, and everything; because it is to the Church-Bride, which receives all that apocalyptic revelation.
Now notice, the Church-Bride represented in John: if there John recognized Him at His First Coming, at His Second Coming John (the Church represented in him) will also see Him and recognize Him at His Second Coming!
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord ([JBP] He identified Him as the Lord). Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
[JBP] That is where it talks about when they drew the net it had 153 large fish; which represents God’s elect of this end time. That was the catch that brother Branham wanted!
And in the First Pull… If we place those pulls… when the Angel took him to a lake and was going to teach him how to fish… Remember that the Scriptures have multiple fulfillments and different angles that we see.
When brother Branham goes fishing, that the Angel tells him34:
—“Cast the hook.”
And he cast it, and:
—“Well, you made a good shot.” A good shot… deep down. “You’re doing good up to there.”
And he says:
—“You pull (the First Pull) softly, so that the small fish follow the bait. And on the second pull, notice that the big fish will then see the bait (I’m more or less summarizing, because it’s long, the…), and they are going to start following them; they are ready for the catch.”
Now, those two pulls, both Reverend William Branham and our brother William Soto Santiago wanted to catch those big fish.
And the pull that brother Branham gave them, that he pulls that bait out and almost…, the fish was so small… Notice, he couldn’t catch those big fish in the First Pull, he couldn’t catch them in the Second Pull either.
And although the First and Second Pull were there in the time of brother Branham (because he says it was in English35; and the Third is in Spanish)..., but that messenger came in between; and you can also see a Work carried out in that interval, and he also wanted to catch those big fish; which corresponds and still corresponds, that work, to Grace. In other words, he also… is represented in that Second Pull, which also failed to catch those fish, that fishing; because they were both within the Dispensation of Grace.
And the fishing of those 153 fish was in the Cornerstone, above; where the Third Pull was going to be carried out, to be manifested.
That is something very important; which we see where and who wished to carry out that catch of the 153 fish, represented in the 153 (which are the elect of this time). And neither of the two could carry out that catch.
It is at the dawn of a new dispensational day where Jesus appears walking on the Waters, because He was already told to prophesy over many peoples, nations and tongues; because there He would be carrying out that work of the miraculous catch, of the catch of the chosen ones of God (represented by the 153 fish), which would be carried out in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.
(Do you have the…? Did you not find it?... This is it).
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Here, look how there was a storm.
Matthew 14
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side ([JBP] that is: “Get in there and go on to the other side; wait for me there”), while he sent the multitudes away ([JBP] that is very important).
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves…
[JBP] That time was the time when they were, let’s say, in the midst of human interpretations: winds that were contrary to the Word and to what God was about to carry out.
After the departure of our brother William there was a time there where there were contrary winds. And he goes on to say:
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea ([JBP] at the fourth watch).
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] Doesn’t brother Branham say in paragraph 519…? In the fourth watch there, He said: “I am, fear ye not.” Page 59, paragraph 519 [Quotations]36:
510 – “[180] In Malachi the 4th chapter, in Revelation also, the 3rd chapter, tells us that he will be here in the last days. That same one, that’ll stand in the breach for the people, with a little flock that God will give him, he’ll come in the last days. God said so. He’ll be a sign to this Gentile nation, that her time is no more.
181 And, remember, when he appears on the scene ([JBP] when He appears on the scene), the time is at hand. Let’s pray for God to send him.”
[JBP] Remember that he is talking about what the fourth Elijah is forerunning, of what would come later on.
519 – “181 Let’s pray for God to send him. Time is at hand.
182 As soon as his ministry was finished, Messiah showed Himself. As soon as this great one will come in the last days, will finish his ministry, the Messiah will show Himself.”
[JBP] And He Himself appeared there to His disciples, saying to them: “I am He, do not be afraid!”
And the Scripture that comes to mind: “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.”37
For it is time to claim all that Adam and Eve lost back in the fall, it is time to claim all that belongs to us; what belongs to you and what belongs to me. This is the time to make that claim.
[Rev. Jose B. Perez] He said:
Matthew 14
27 …it is I; be not afraid.
[JBP] And then Peter starts to tell Him:
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
[JBP] Notice, He will never forsake us. And in moments when you see that you are sinking (because of some situation: problems at home, problems at work, problems…): cry out to God, and do not doubt.
In other words, always walk in faith, where to? Towards Jesus. There Peter was walking towards Jesus, towards the fulfillment of the First Coming.
In other words, always walk forward, towards the Shekinah, towards the Pillar of Fire; towards the one that brother Branham saw that the Pillar of Fire was speaking to.
Walk onward, for He —remember we are in the Age of Divine Love— He will extend His hands and help you.
What is He doing with everyone? Taking them out —the elect— out of the stormy waters; out of the kingdom of darkness, out of the kingdom of the gentiles.
Because spiritually He has already brought us out, and we are seated in heavenly places in Christ, Jesus our Lord; but now what remains is to take us out of this gentile kingdom: take us out of these bodies that have given us so much trouble, and give us that eternal and glorified body; and that is where He extends His hand again, as He extended it to Peter.
It doesn’t say Peter sank; it says He gave him a reprimand there; but Peter was taken out, he came back again.
Now see, afterwards it doesn’t say any more details; but if He took him in His hands and pulled him out, he came to stand beside Jesus, on the waters.
And standing by the side of the Second Coming of the Lord we will then be fulfilling the Scripture that “they shall walk in ashes.”38 It says: “The ashes shall be…” In other words, after the great tribulation, we will be walking on this planet Earth… (Look it up: Malachi…).
Let’s see if… we had to finish something here:
Matthew 14
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
[JBP] And look at the part. That is where you have to see what is between the lines; because it says:
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
[JBP] “When they come up into the ship,” that means Jesus and Peter were there, or Peter and Jesus: “Well, I took you out, let’s go. Come on over here, let’s go over here to the ship.” They were walking on the waters. Peter’s faith had already risen, and he was able to walk with Jesus on the water.
And we will walk —very soon— with eternal and glorified bodies on this planet Earth, with those eternal and glorified bodies.
But before that we are already… some are already there walking; and others, we are helping them to come out; but all of us will reach the goal of the stature of a perfect Man.
Before we receive the eternal and glorified body, we will all be walking together, as that Bride, being in these bodies, and without stepping out of step. We will all be walking in line at the fulfillment of the Second Coming of the Lord!
And that faith will be so elevated, that there we will be able to see those who will be resurrected.
Soon we will all be the same. Some will go first, others go later; others are a little more stubborn and perhaps we have to give them their little shake so that they straighten up.
Because the Bride, he saw her out of step; and he was trying, up there, it says in a quote and also in a message, that he was trying to tell her; but brother Branham at that time was already…, he was speaking there and he was… And brother William writes: [WSS] «He was in the sixth dimension when that was going to be happening».39
He was trying to tell her to get back in step.
See? That there is a time where, in addition to what was reflected there of that storm, of those contrary winds, that some were going to get out of step; but then the Lord Himself appears in their midst and says: “I am, fear not. Stay in step.”
It is the Work of God being carried out between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal, before the rapture.
It all corresponds to that ministry, in fulfilling that part of the Seals that has not yet been fulfilled. It is fulfilled under that ministry of Moses and Elijah and Jesus.
“WHAT LIES BETWEEN THE SIXTH AND THE SEVENTH SEAL BEFORE THE RAPTURE.” Place that… write it down, so we don’t forget it.
“WHAT LIES BETWEEN THE SIXTH SEAL AND THE SEVENTH SEAL BEFORE THE RAPTURE.”
It has been a great privilege and a blessing for me to speak these words today, Monday, August 14 of this year 2023, in which very important things were spoken.
And I wish that this audio will run through all the seed of God, and reach every corner; and thus this Word will penetrate to the depths of your souls.
And everything that the Work of God through this Word does: may it be done quickly.
And may God help all the ministers, all the brethren, to continue growing to that stature of the perfect Man, within this very important work that is being carried out in this end time, between the Sixth and the Seventh Seal before the rapture.
May God bless you, God keep you; and may you continue having a happy day and week of blessings.
And may God watch over you and keep you from all dangers in all places where you go, in your workplaces; and watch over and bless your going out and your coming in from now on and forevermore.
God bless you.

[Billy Paul Branham] You know, Brother Branham said “we can talk too much, we can sing too much, we can shout too much but we can never pray too much.”
And each day brother Brahnham told me he said: “When you come into the office, Billy (he said), I want you to do my mail.”
And I said: “Dad I don’t even know how to turn on the typewriter.”
And he says: “The Lord will be with you,” And he said: “He told me he wants you to do that for me.”
And I said: “Okay.”
He said: “No matter if you got one letter or you got a thousand (he said), the first thing you do is kneel down and pray, lay your hands on the mail and ask the Lord to help you that day.”
And he said: “Don’t you answer any Bible questions, don’t you answer for me.” He said: “If there’s a question for me you keep them; and we get together the next day, or that day, or when ever (he said), you write down on the envelope and I’ll answer the questions.”
He said: “No matter where I am (he says), you remember everyday: that you do the mail (he said), I’ll be praying for you.” And he says: “That God will be there with you.”
He says: “Don’t process the mail (he said), just open one letter at a time; just think like you only have one letter to answer.” And he says: “And when you’re through with that (he says), discard it and get another one.”
And that’s what I’ve been doing for the last 60 years and it’s been a great honor.
