THE GREAT VICTORY IN DIVINE LOVE

Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, May 31, 2015

Cayey, Puerto Rico

Good morning, or good afternoon for people in places where it is after 12:00. I extend

my greetings to all the ministers, and brothers and sisters gathered today, Sunday, in Puerto Rico and other countries in Latin America, in the Caribbean, North America, Canada and other countries; ministers and their congregations, today Sunday, day in which Christianity gathers to praise God, pray, and hear His Word, and to have bible School so that they are taught in the Gospel of Christ. May the blessings of Christ be upon all of you and upon me as well, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And warm greetings to missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin. I also express my condolences and of this congregation, to Manuel Figueroa and his family, his sons and daughters and family in Acapulco, for the departure of his wife, who went to Paradise to rest and will return in the resurrection with all the believers in Christ who have departed, which will happen in the Second Coming of

Christ to His Church. Next Friday is... and in this context… This Friday, June 5, in the context of World Environment Day, we invite all the Activists for Peace to “Celebrate life with our Mother Earth”: let us act in ways that promote environmental education, so that we can begin to sow a culture of citizens who act green, sustainable and in harmony with Mother Earth.

For more information about these events you can contact the national Coordinator of the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace in your respective countries. We also invite you to see the video of the new project of the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace: “Children of Mother Earth”, in addition to a few reports of the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace during the last tour through Colombia. We will also be seeing a video of the work being done in Chile, summarizing the work done in different churches in Chile with the purpose of voluntarily supporting the construction of the temple of the Great Tent Cathedral. We still do not have a date for when the canvas will be put up; but the most important thing is that ministers have good audio equipment, as well as television screens; and that their congregations have a good internet system, so that the ministers, along with their congregations, can watch the installation of the canvas on the Great Tent Cathedral on that appointed day. Therefore, the best place for the ministers of each country to be is with their congregation, as it was announced by Miguel and reverend Jose Benjamin Perez. Now, let us see the videos so that we are up to date with the work the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace is

nothing more important than that.And the eternal life can only be given by one

person: God through Jesus Christ our Savior, because Christ has the ownership of the eternal life to grant it to everyone who receives Him as their only and sufficient Savior.

May God continue blessing you all, those who are here present and those who are in other nations, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

carrying out, and the work being done by the churches, like the churches in Chile, to voluntarily help the construction of the Great Tent Cathedral, a temple for God. Let us see these videos and then I will be with you again.

[PRESENTATION OF DOCUMENTARIES] On behalf of the Great Tent Cathedral, I express my appreciation and gratitude to the churches in Chile for supporting and helping the construction of the temple of the Great Tent Cathedral. And I also express my appreciation and gratitude to all the churches in every country. Let us read in Romans, chapter 5, verses 10 and on… chapter 5, verse 5 and on (I correct), until verse 11. It says: “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand it.

Our subject on this occasion is: “THE GREAT VICTORY IN DIVINE LOVE.”

When speaking to us about the First Coming of Christ, the Scripture tells us that His Coming and His death on Calvary’s Cross was a manifestation of the Love of God, of Divine Love. We find this in chapter 3 of John, verse 16, where it says:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

In other words, the First Coming of Christ and His death on Calvary’s Cross was the greatest manifestation of God’s Love towards the human race. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have (what?) everlasting life.” It was so that the world could be saved by Him.

Now, we find that at the time of the First Coming of Christ, the world was to be destroyed, like in the time of Noah; but God sent Jesus Christ, His Son, to save the world, which was at the time in which the divine judgment had to fall upon all of humanity. And by coming, Christ took the sin of the human being, He became sin for us and died for us on Calvary’s Cross. This was typified in the animals that were offered for the sin of the human being among the Hebrew people, who sacrificed animals for their sins. “For the wages of sin is death.” [Romans 6:23].

The human being had to die, that is why they sacrificed animals for their sins; and since the person had

of God; which is required in order to obtain eternal life. A person is born unto eternal life in the Kingdom of God when he is born of the water and of the Spirit, that is, from the Gospel and the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, you may be baptized; and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire, and bring forth the new birth in you. And we will continue seeing each other throughout eternity in the eternal Kingdom of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

In each country I leave the corresponding minister with you; I leave here reverend Jose Benjamin Perez, and in each country I leave the corresponding minister, so that he may tell you what you must do to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire, and bring forth the new birth in you.

And I reiterate to you: we will see each other eternally in the Kingdom of God. Until next Sunday, here, God willing.

And since you want your family members to enter into the Kingdom of God, receive Christ as their Savior and be saved: Invite your family members for next Sunday, those of you here present and those in other nations as well. Invite your relatives, because perhaps those who have not entered into the Kingdom of God are your relatives; and you have been praying for your family members. And therefore, it is an opportunity you give your family members, for Christ to speak to them to their heart, to their soul, through the Gospel, and the faith of Christ be born in the souls of your relatives and they receive Christ as their Savior, and obtain eternal life; which is the most important thing a person can receive and have. There is

Dr. William Soto Santiago26

and Your faith in me, and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior.

I pray that You forgive my sins and cleanse me from all sin with Your Blood, and may You baptize me with the Holy Spirit and Fire after I am baptized in water in Your Name; and may You bring forth the new birth in me.

I want to be born in Your Kingdom, I want to live eternally with You in Your Kingdom. Lord, make the new birth a reality in me. I pray to You in Your Eternal and glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.

And now, many may tell me: “I want to be baptized in water as soon as possible, because Christ said: ‘He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.’” (Mark, chapter 16, verses 15 to 16).

The baptism in water is typological; water does not take away sins, it is the Blood of Christ that cleanses us from all sin; but the baptism in water is a commandment of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, in which we identify ourselves with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.

When a person receives Christ as Savior, he dies to the world; and when the minister submerges him in the baptismal waters, he is typologically being buried, like Christ was buried in the tomb; and when the minister raises him from the baptismal waters, he is resurrecting unto a new life: eternal life, just as Christ resurrected to eternal life two thousand years ago.

That is how the believers in Christ resurrect to eternal life when they are born of the water and of the Spirit; and when they receive the Holy Spirit, they are being born as sons or daughters of God in the Kingdom

The great victory in Divine Love 7

to die, by placing their sins in those animals and offering them to God, when the animal died: it died for the sins of the person. Although that person’s sin was not removed, it was covered by the blood shed by those animals; which was a prophetic sign that the Son of God would come one day in human flesh.

Remember that the Son of God is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, who would come in human flesh; which is why He had to become flesh, because He is also the Tree of Life.

There is not a literal tree of eternal life. Christ is the One who has the exclusiveness to eternal life, and He gives it to the people who are represented in the sheep of the Father, who hear the Voice of Christ the Good Shepherd, and receive Him as their Savior, and Christ gives them eternal life.

That is why Christ said in John, chapter 10, verses 27 and on: “My sheep hear my Voice, and they follow me, and I know them, and give them eternal Life.” Why do we hear the Gospel? Why is it that the Gospel is preached and we receive Christ as our Savior when we are given the opportunity to receive Him, and then we are baptized in water in His Name? So that Christ may give us eternal life.

Remember that Christ said: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” [Mark 16:15-16].

And therefore, the sins of the person will remain in the person, and loses the right to live eternally in the Kingdom of God.

But those who receive Christ as their Savior, their

Page 8: The great victory in Divine Love - carpa. · PDF filecongregation, to Manuel Figueroa and his family, his sons and daughters and family in Acapulco, ... “THE GREAT VICTORY IN DIVINE

Dr. William Soto Santiago8

sins are taken away with the Blood of Christ and they are brought back to the originator, which is the wicked one; and the person is delivered, justified, as if he had never sinned in his life.

He is the One who justifies the sinner who, through faith, receives Christ as Savior and confesses his sins to Christ. There is no other way for the human being to get rid of his sins. There is only one way, and it is through Jesus Christ.

Just like in the Old Testament, there was no other way to cover sins except through the Blood of Christ, which was typified in the blood of those animals; but that blood was not the Blood of Christ, it only typified the Blood of Christ.

Animal sacrifices are no longer needed, because the perfect Sacrifice already came: Christ on Calvary’s Cross, and with His Blood He cleansed us from all sin; and now we acknowledge Him, and our sins disappear when we confess them to Christ, they are thrown into the Blood of Christ. And just like an ink stain on a garment or when an ink stain is placed in a bleaching agent, like chlorine bleach, it disappears, and you will never find the ink stain or spot on the garment again. Even if you look for it, you will never find it. Why? Because it returned to what it was before being ink, it returned to its origin.

And that is what the Blood of Christ does when it takes our sins and makes them vanish from us, and they return to their origin, which was the devil. In other words, they are his, and he receives them again. Remember that the devil does not want the sins of the human being to disappear, because they return to him.

Now, God wants us to live eternally, and in order

The great victory in Divine Love 25

Name of the Lord, and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire, and bring forth the new birth in all these people; and thus they are born in the Kingdom of God, they enter into the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is where the sheep of the Lord are born, the sons and daughters of God, the wheat.

Let us stand up to pray for the people from different countries who have come the Feet of Christ on this occasion. With our heads bowed and our eyes closed:

Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Heavenly Father, I come to You with all these people, in the different countries where they may be, who are receiving Christ as their Savior and who have come to the front to receive Christ as their only and sufficient Savior. Receive them in Your Kingdom. I pray to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Now, those who on this occasion have come to the Feet of Christ, repeat this prayer after me:

Lord Jesus Christ, I heard the preaching of Your Gospel and Your faith was born in my heart.

I believe in You with all my soul. I believe in your First Coming and I believe in Your Name as the only Name under Heaven, given unto men, whereby we must be saved.

I acknowledge that I am a sinner and that I need a Savior. I give public testimony of my faith in You

Page 9: The great victory in Divine Love - carpa. · PDF filecongregation, to Manuel Figueroa and his family, his sons and daughters and family in Acapulco, ... “THE GREAT VICTORY IN DIVINE

Dr. William Soto Santiago24

we will be praying for you so that Christ receives you in His Kingdom, may He forgive you and with His Blood cleanse you from all sin, may you be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Christ will baptize you with Holy Spirit and Fire, and bring forth the new birth in you. Therefore, you may come to the front and we will be praying for you.

Why do we always give people the opportunity to receive Christ? Because Christ said that not one of these little ones should perish: “It is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish,” which are the sheep of the Father given to Christ for Him to seek them and give them eternal life.

And also: Christ cannot leave the Throne of Intercession until His Church is completed, until the last one written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life enters, which are the sheep that the Father gave Christ to seek and give eternal life. Matthew, chapter 18, verses 10 and on... until 14, where it says that it is not the will of the Father that one of these little ones should perish, and that this is why the Son of Man came: to save that which was lost.

Luke also speaks to us about this subject, and it says that He came to seek and save that which was lost. In other words, He came to seek and save who? He came to seek me and save me. And who else? Each one of you too.

He cannot leave the Throne of Intercession, where He is as the High Priest who makes intercession with His Blood, until the last elect written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, enters. And we all want Christ to finish that Work of Intercession soon, which is why He sent us to preach the Gospel and give everyone the opportunity to receive Him as their Savior, be baptized in water in the

The great victory in Divine Love 9

for that to happen, He must take away the sins of the person; and He does this with the Blood of Christ shed on Calvary’s Cross; and He makes intercession in Heaven with His Blood, in the Heavenly Temple, in the divine mercy seat. All of that is within the Work of Divine Love manifested in the First Coming of Christ.

For the Last Day, remember that the manifestation of Divine Love in all its fullness in favor of the human being is for salvation, for redemption.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

He came to give salvation. That is why it says that “the Son of man came to seek that which was lost.” In order for Him to give salvation and eternal life, the Word had to become flesh and dwell among the human race.

Now, let us look at Second of Corinthians, chapter 5, verses 14 and on. Apostle Paul says:

“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again (in other words, so that we live for whom? For Christ). Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.”

Remember that He has a glorified, immortal and young body for all of eternity; and a body like that is promised for all the believers in Christ, for the Second Coming of Christ to His people of the New Covenant, which is His Church. And it will be in a time parallel to

Page 10: The great victory in Divine Love - carpa. · PDF filecongregation, to Manuel Figueroa and his family, his sons and daughters and family in Acapulco, ... “THE GREAT VICTORY IN DIVINE

Dr. William Soto Santiago10

the time of the First Coming of Christ, and a time parallel to the time of Noah, and parallel to the time of Lot, which was the time of Abraham. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:”

Why? Because he is born again, he is born in the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of God is in the spiritual field. The person enters into the Mystical Body of Christ, which is His Church, where the sons and daughters of God are born; and therefore, they have the heavenly citizenship, because the new birth is from Heaven.

The earthly birth is the one we obtained through our earthly parents, and it is for us to live for a period of time here on Earth, to have the opportunity to make contact with Christ to receive eternal life, by obtaining the new birth, of which Christ spoke to Nicodemus in chapter 3, verse 1 to 6 of John, when He said to him: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again from the water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”

We enter into the Kingdom of God and are, therefore, in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, because the new birth is from Heaven, it is heavenly. That is why Paul said: “Our conversation is from Heaven.” The citizenship of the new man, of the person who has been born again.

“Behold…” It says:“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new

creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

The great victory in Divine Love 23

will be for the Last Trumpet, the Last Message that will be preached, that Christ will be speaking in the Last Day in the midst of His Church and for His Church, to give her the faith to be changed; that Great Trumpet, Christ’s Last Message for His Church and in the midst of His Church, for Him to have and give us the great victory in Divine Love.

For which there will be a Great Tent Cathedral promised in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the midst of Christianity, where the Holy Spirit will go to, to completely manifest Himself in all His fullness, and God through Christ in Holy Spirit, manifest the Divine Love in all His fullness in the midst of His Church.

That is why the Golden Age of the Church is also the Age of the Divine Love manifested through Christ our Savior.

Today in our Bible study, in our Bible school for this occasion, we have seen the subject of which reverend William Branham often spoke of: “THE GREAT VICTORY IN DIVINE LOVE.”

We have seen where that divine promise will be fulfilled for and in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: in the Golden Age, the Age of Divine Love, the Age of the Cornerstone.

If there is anyone who has not yet received Christ as their Savior, you may do so at this time, wherever you are, whether in Puerto Rico or in another country, you may come to the front in the church you are in.

Children ten years of age and on can also come to the front to receive Christ, also adults and young men and women who have not yet received Christ may do so; and

Page 11: The great victory in Divine Love - carpa. · PDF filecongregation, to Manuel Figueroa and his family, his sons and daughters and family in Acapulco, ... “THE GREAT VICTORY IN DIVINE

Dr. William Soto Santiago22

the Cornerstone, the stage of the manifestation of Divine Love, for Christ to obtain the great victory in Divine Love. It is a promise for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, there will be members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ (some in person and others through the television, internet, and other forms of communication) seeing and listening to what will be happening, and they will also be obtaining the benefits of the great victory of Divine Love that Christ will have.

And therefore, with Him, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will have that great victory in Divine Love, wherein He will give us the faith to be changed, He will give us the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the revelation of His Coming; and He will change those of us who are alive; resurrect those who have died, in glorified bodies. And after our stay here in glorified and eternal bodies, let us say 30 to 40 days in our new bodies… just as Christ and those who resurrected with Christ, were appearing for 40 days to many of their relatives, and Christ was appearing to His disciples who would gather to pray and await the Coming of the Holy Spirit to obtain the new birth and obtain that victory of redemption, that victory of adoption, the victory of the birth in the Kingdom of God.

By receiving the Holy Spirit the new birth is obtained, we are born in the Kingdom of God.

Therefore, for the Last Day something parallel to that will bring us the great victory in Divine Love, give us the adoption of the body, the redemption of the body, which will be our transformation; and we will be physically adopted as sons and daughters of God. It is as simple as that.

This is what is promised in the Scripture. And it

The great victory in Divine Love 11

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

We have been reconciled with God through Christ. There is no other way in which the human being can be reconciled. That is why the “day of the atonement” is the day of the reconciliation in the midst of the Hebrew people, according to Leviticus, chapter 23, verses 26 to 29.

That is why in the last supper of Christ with His apostles, in Matthew, chapter 26, we notice that Christ took the bread, and after giving thanks to the Father, He broke it and gave it to His disciples, saying: “Take, eat; this is my body.” In other words, He was typifying His body in the bread. And upon taking the cup of wine and giving thanks to the Father, He said: “This is my Blood of the New Testament, which is…” [Verse 28]:

“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”

The remission of sins in the New Covenant, in the New Testament, is through the Blood of Christ our Savior. Therefore, every human being needs Christ in order to receive the forgiveness of sins and be cleansed from all sin with the Blood of Christ, and to be reconciled with God, to obtain the new birth; and this places the person as a son or daughter of God who is born in the Kingdom of God.

Page 12: The great victory in Divine Love - carpa. · PDF filecongregation, to Manuel Figueroa and his family, his sons and daughters and family in Acapulco, ... “THE GREAT VICTORY IN DIVINE

Dr. William Soto Santiago12

It is in the Kingdom of God where the sons and daughters of God are born, which form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, we have seen the manifestation of Divine Love in the First Coming of Christ, in His Work of Redemption. Everything made it seem as though He was defeated; but in reality what happened was that He had obtained the Great Victory in Divine Love corresponding to His First Coming. And we find that after His death and burial, came the resurrection.

The great victory in Divine Love is crowned with the resurrection of the dead in Christ, typified in the saints of the Old Testament, who resurrected to never die again. And Christ, in whom the Divine Love was manifested in all its fullness, was also resurrected, glorified, to never die again.

The next time there will be a full manifestation of Divine Love in favor of all the believers in Christ, will be in the Second Coming of Christ; wherein, along with that manifestation, there will be the resurrection of the dead in Christ in glorified, eternal, immortal and young bodies for all eternity, and the transformation of those of us who are alive in the Last Day.

Remember that in the Old Testament it talks about the resurrection, and the New Testament also talks about the resurrection. Christ Himself, referring to the resurrection, said in John, chapter 6, verses 39 and on:

“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have

a Great Tent Cathedral, and He will rest on and in a small wooden room; and from there He will manifest Himself in the midst of His Church and for His Church in the Last Day, in the fulfillment of the Third Pull, in the stage of Divine Love, which is the stage that corresponds to the Age of the Cornerstone, the Golden Age. Gold represents divinity.

Wherever the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ in Holy Spirit goes to, there will be a blessing for that territory, the blessing of the fulfillment of the Vision of the Great Tent Cathedral; where reverend William Branham entered and saw everything that was taking place there: services, preachings, altar callings, also prayers for the sick and great wonders done by the Lord.

Christ in Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant has always been in a certain place in the midst of His Church, because He said: “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”

The territory where the Tent Vision will be materialized, will be the territory of the manifestation of Divine Love, and therefore, of the great victory in Divine Love. That territory will be the one to have the blessing; which will be extended to other nations, peoples and tongues; because the Third Pull is for the Bride-Church, and therefore, for the wise virgins (which is the Bride-Church); for the foolish virgins, for the rest of Christianity; and for the world, humanity, which will see the complete manifestation of Divine Love, wherein Christ will have the great victory in Divine Love for His Church: He will resurrect the believers in Him who have died and He will change His believers who will be alive, in that time corresponding to the Golden Age of the Church, the Age of

Dr. William Soto Santiago20

that appeared to Moses, and the same Pillar of Fire that appeared to Paul, and the same Pillar of Fire that appeared to reverend William Branham. That Pillar of Fire is Jesus, who is in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church throughout the different stages of His Church.

In the trajectory of Christ in Holy Spirit, in the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, traveling from the land of Israel, where He was in the midst of His believers, and then He passed to the gentiles, to Asia Minor, under the ministry of Paul... we can see the trajectory of the Holy Spirit, of Christ in Holy Spirit in His Church, from stage to stage.

After Asia Minor, He went, He flew to Europe, where He had five stages of His Church and where He sent five messengers, one for each stage of His Church among the gentiles. Just as Paul was the first messenger of His Church among the gentiles, then other messengers came anointed by the Holy Spirit, through which Christ in Holy Spirit spoke to His Church, anointed by the Pillar of Fire.

Then flew from Europe to North America and anointed reverend William Branham and accompanied him throughout his life. That is why he was able to say: “THUS SAITH THE LORD,” because it was the Lord in Holy Spirit speaking to His Church through him in Divine Love.

And then came the stage parallel to the First Coming of Christ; back then it was a stage or Age of Cornerstone because Christ the Cornerstone was there, in His First Coming, visiting His people who were under the Old Covenant given by God to the prophet Moses. For the Last Day, Christ in the Pillar of Fire, in Holy Spirit, Christ the Angel of the Covenant, will fly towards

everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”The Last Day is the seventh millennium from

Adam until now. “Because one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Second of Peter, chapter 3, verses 8; and also Psalm, 90, verse 4.

Jesus Christ continues speaking about the resurrection, and He tells us that He is the Bread of Life, and whoever eats of that Bread will live eternally. Chapter 6 of John… John, chapter 6, verses 47 and on, where it says:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life (remember, to believe means to eat spiritually).

I am that bread of life.”Verse 51, says: “I am the living bread which came

down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

Christ gave His Life on Calvary’s Cross so that humanity could continue living; and so that we may live eternally in the Kingdom of God. Verse 53, continues saying:

“...Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you (remember that to eat means to believe).

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Notice that Christ establishes when He will carry out the resurrection of the believers in Him who have died physically, and the transformation of those will be alive.

“Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.” (Verse 56).

And verse 57 to 58, says:“As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by

the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.This is that bread which came down from heaven:

not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.”

Here we can see the importance of believing in Christ as our only and sufficient Savior: If a person believes, he will live eternally; if he does not believe, he will not live eternally. It is as simple as that.

Therefore, we all have to understand the importance of hearing the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, believing in Christ and being baptized in water in His Name, and receiving His Holy Spirit. It is something that has already been established by God.

Therefore, you cannot seek nor make your own way of salvation. Do not invent a way to salvation. God through Christ has already made the way to salvation, and He had it planned since before the foundation of the World. And since He is the One who will give salvation and eternal life, the person must do as God has already established through Christ. Any other way will not give you eternal life. It is through Christ; or there is no eternal life for the person.

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not (what?) shall be damned.” (Mark, chapter 16, verse 15 to 16).

wrote, you can see it’s wrote in-in foreign words.Thou has picked the correct and precise decision

and it is My way. (Bless God. “It’s My way.” He said.)” (These words of reverend William Branham are in parenthesis).

“Because of this momentous decision, a huge portion of heaven waits thee. (He had never heard about the vision...)”

In other words, the vision when reverend William Branham went to Paradise or the sixth dimension and he found the believers there; to which he had preached, those who had heard him and had physically died; and they were in Paradise, which is the sixth dimension, in heavenly bodies.

“…You see, that just… You remember the vision.) …a huge portion of heaven waits thee. What a glorious decision thou has made. (See?)

Now, here’s… From here on, I don’t understand.)” Now, let us read the rest of what was spoken or prophesied to reverend William Branham through a young believer in Christ.

“This in itself is that (big parenthesis around it)… which will give and make come to pass their tremendous victory in the Love Divine.

I don’t know what that means, “this will make come to pass.” Perhaps in the little tent one of these days, setting back yonder He’ll make it known.”

Notice how it links a small tent, which refers to a small wooden room that will be in a Great Tent Cathedral that he saw, which was shown to him in a dream or vision, where he saw the presence of God, the presence of Jesus Christ in the same Light, the same Pillar of Fire

He will change from Lamb to Lion, from High Priest to King of kings and Lord of Lords, and Judge of all the Earth; and He will have His elect in the most glorious stage, the golden stage of the Church, the Age of the Cornerstone, which is also typified in the most holy place of the tabernacle Moses built and the temple king Solomon built.

Remember that the Church is a spiritual Temple where God dwells in Holy Spirit, Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church. Remember that He said: “I am… Where two or three are gathered together in my name, I will be in the midst of them.” (Matthew, chapter 18, verse 20).

He has been in the midst of His Church speaking from age to age, and manifesting His love towards the people, towards His Church, through each of the ages or stages of His Church. And for the Last Day there will be a great victory in Divine Love; therefore, there will also be a battle, a struggle; because there is no victory without a struggle. And all of that corresponds to what reverend William Branham called The Third Pull. There will be a total manifestation of Divine Love in that Third Pull.

That corresponds to the Third Pull, which will be fulfilled in the fulfillment of the Vision of the Tent. And let us see what reverend William Branham says about that great victory in Divine Love. This is found in the message preached by reverend William Branham called: “The True Easter Seal (or Passover Seal),” from April 2, 1961, in Jeffersonville, Indiana; and we will read a paragraph where he says… A young man was prophesying to reverend William Branham, in a service. It says:

“Now, here, now this man, now watch how it’s

execute it, and be able to obtain eternal life. God makes things simple so that they are within the reach of every person.

Now, just as there was a manifestation of God’s Love in all His fullness in the person of Jesus Christ, in and for His First Coming, and for the redemption of the human being to be carried out… and the first part of the redemption: the redemption of the soul, has been occurring in people who have received Christ as their Savior, and have been reconciled with God, they have received the new birth, the new birth as sons and daughters of God. The birth we have obtained through our parents has been as children of our parents. The birth we receive through Christ, the new birth, is as sons and daughters of God. But we still need our physical body to be changed, to be glorified, so that physically our body may also be a child of God: an eternal, immortal and glorified body that Christ will give us, and He will resurrect His believers who have died into glorified, immortal bodies; and He will change those who are alive.

Christ resurrected on a Sunday morning, and Sunday refers to a resurrection to eternal life for those who resurrected with Him, and for Christ as well. Therefore, there will be a stage or a Church age represented in Sunday, which is after Saturday. The seventh day is followed by Sunday; in other words, the eighth day becomes the first day of the week, which is that upcoming Sunday.

Therefore, there will not only be seven stages of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ among the gentiles, there will be another stage represented in the eighth day, Sunday; and that becomes a stage where the great victory

Dr. William Soto Santiago16

in Divine Love will take place, giving us the faith to be changed; and for the dead in Christ to be resurrected in eternal, immortal bodies, and for us to be changed in order to have young, immortal, glorified bodies, like the glorified body that Jesus Christ has; which is as young as when He ascended to Heaven on that day of rapture or catching away.

It is important to know that the resurrection of the dead in Christ of the New Covenant, the New Testament, has not happened yet; it did not take place in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, nor the seventh age among the gentiles; because that is for a stage represented in the Resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, and that stage is the Golden Age of the Church, the Age of the Cornerstone.

Reverend William Branham said that the Thunders... the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven in Revelation, chapter 10, verses 1 to 11, is the Voice of Christ, the Mighty Angel crying out as when a lion roars; because He will no longer be as a Lamb but as Lion, and not as High Priest but as Judge, and King of kings and Lord of lords. In other words, there will be a change in Heaven which will be reflected on Earth in the Second Coming of Christ. And there will be a New Name, of which Christ says: “I will write (this refers to the overcomer) upon him, the name of the city of my God, the name of my God, and my new name.”

He has a New Name. And if He has a New Name, He will use it. And that will be for the great victory in Divine Love in the Second Coming of Christ. He speaks about the New Name in chapter 2 of Revelation, verse 17, where it says:

The great victory in Divine Love 17

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

In other words, the Holy Spirit, which is Christ in Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church, says:

“To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”

In chapter 3 of Revelation, verse 12, it says:“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the

temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

And if He has a New Name, who dares to say otherwise? He says He has a New Name and that He will write it upon the overcomer; and this will be for the time of the great victory in Divine Love; because the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of the Son of Man for the Last Day, will be a manifestation of Divine Love towards His Bride-Church in the Last Day, to give her the faith, the revelation, to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; to give her the revelation of the Seventh Seal, the revelation of His Second Coming.

Therefore, all of this will take place in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, because He said: “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” [Matthew 28:20].

At the Last Day, when He completes His Church,
