ENDURING UNTO THE END

Rev. William Soto Santiago, Ph.D.

Sunday, December 16th, 2012

Cayey, Puerto Rico

Very good morning, kind friends and brethren present and

to everyone who are in different nations, ministers and

Churches, brethren from all the countries; may the blessings of

Christ, the Angel of the Covenant be upon you all and upon me

too. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

For this occasion I wish you all a merry Christmas and a

happy new Year for all the ones present and in other nations. For

this occasion we read in St. Matthew chapter 24, verses 1, to 14,

the Scripture says the following:

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his

disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the

temple.

And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily

I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon

another, that shall not be thrown down.

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came

unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?

and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the

world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them,

Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in

my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye

be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the

end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against

kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences (in other

words, diseases, pests), and earthquakes, in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill

you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one

another, and shall hate one another.

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall

wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be

saved.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the

world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end

come.”

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

understand It.

Taking verse 13 and 14 which says:

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be

saved.”

“ENDURING UNTO THE END.” It’s our subject for this

occasion: persevering, persisting, to persevere is to persist,

persisting, ENDURING UNTO THE END, for which it is

required for the person to know why he is persevering, why he is

persisting, which is the goal. He persists, he is perseverant,

because he has a goal, then he needs to know for what purpose

he is persevering, for what purpose he persisting, he needs to

know which is his goal; and consequently he needs to know the

goal he has, where does he want to reach to, what does he want

to achieve.

A person cannot be perseverant unless he knows he is going

to achieve; for instance, why do people work? Because they

have a goal: to earn money; they don’t work without a goal, and

those who work voluntarily, they work for a goal, a goal the

person has set himself and those who work voluntarily.

There must be always a goal for which the person is doing

something; for instance, one eats, why? Because there is a goal,

not only hunger, but the goal of feeding the body to preserve life;

if one stops eating one gets weak, gets sick and dies, but we all

want to live, that is the goal, this is why we work and eat and

sleep.

And now, it is required to know what we are trying to

achieve, and then one must have faith, faith that one is going to

reach that goal, that one is going to achieve it, and that makes

you to be perseverant, to be persistent, because you believe that

you will achieve your goal.

It is like the young people, they go to university because they

have a goal: they have the goal to obtain a career, a profession,

whether a doctor, lawyer, accountant, or whatever, and if the

person has the goal to become a doctor and he likes biology and

all these things, he persists, he believes that he will obtain it, he

carries on struggling, until he achieves it.

But the one who loses his faith half way in that which he is

studying and says: “I am no longer going to achieve that career,”

what happens? He leaves the studies that lead him to medicine

and takes another career or leaves university, because he already

lost interest in the goal he wanted to obtain, he lost faith, and

consequently he stopped persisting, stopped persevering in that

which he was carrying out.

The believers in Christ have been taught by Christ that

whoever endures unto the end will be saved, therefore, the

person always has to persist, all the time persevering in the Lord,

believing in the Lord, without leaving the Lord, remaining with

the faith in Christ and knowing that we will live eternally with

Christ in His Kingdom.

Whoever takes his sight away from the goal, what happens?

He loses faith, what can we do so that we don’t lose faith and

consequently not taking our sight away from the goal, which is

the important thing? Faith comes by hearing the Word of God,

that’s somewhere in Romans, chapter 10, and the Scripture also

says: “As your faith grows,” faith grows; which is why Christ

says: “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say

unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall

remove: and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” and if with

such a small faith one can do so much, how much more if that

faith grows (the faith as a grain of mustard seed).

The seed of mustard is sown and then that seed of mustard

grows into the form of a plant and bears much fruit, so it is with

faith: it will bear much fruit in the measure your faith will be

growing while you place your sight on the promises that God

has for the believers in Him, and you will be obtaining the

fulfillment of those promises.

Another important thing is to know which are the promises

God has made for the time the person is living in, and to remain

persevering, and working until one manages to obtain the

fulfillment of that which you want to achieve. So it is when the

person studies, so it is in everything in the earthly life.

Therefore, it is important for the person to know which is

the goal that he has when he received Christ as Saviour (we

know it is eternal Life): he first receives spiritual eternal Life,

and then in the resurrection of the dead in Christ he will receive

physical eternal Life in an immortal, glorified body, and those

that remain alive, who have persevered, that have persisted, with

their sight set on the goal, they will be changed, and thus they

will have conquered the promise of the ones who are alive in

Christ that will be changed. And for the one that has departed, he

will have conquered the promise of the dead in Christ who will

be resurrected in glorified bodies.

So it is for individuals as well as for the Church of the Lord

Jesus Christ as Mystical Body of believers. The Lord Jesus

Christ answering the questions they made to Him, three

questions in one…the disciples were like us: for we have many

questions and we say: “I want to make a question to you,” and

when they make a question to us, there are about ten questions in

that question, ten questions in one, and there they make three

questions in one, three questions in the question of the Coming

of the Lord, and concerning the destruction of Jerusalem and of

the temple.

The Scripture also said in the book of Daniel, chapter 9, that

the temple would be destroyed after the death of the Messiah,

after the death of the Messiah a certain time would elapse and the

temple and the city would be destroyed.

And now, it is important for the Church of the Lord Jesus

Christ to know which are the divine promises that pertain to the

time of the stage which the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is

going through, and also which are the problems marked through

which the Church will pass. They are already prophesied,

therefore, that which one sees is the fulfillment of that which was

prophesied by Jesus, by the apostles, and also the prophets of the

old covenant, of the Old Testament.

Therefore, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ which is the

Church of the New Covenant must know in every period of time,

as centuries pass by, must know which time in the Divine

Program She is living in. May no one think of building an ark

and begin to say that they will be saved in that ark, because that

was for the time of Noah.

One has to know the Divine Program for the time in which

the Church is living in and the believers in Christ must be aware

of that time. They wanted to know when the destruction of

Jerusalem and of the temple would be, He explained to them:

“When ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies that is the time,”

there He gave them the sign of what was going to happen, and

He says to the disciples: “When you see that, he who is in Judea,

in Jerusalem, in the city, leave Judea (in other words, go to

another city) because the time for it’s destruction has arrived.”

When the disciples believers in Christ of the time of the

destruction of the temple and of the city in the year 70th of the

Christian Era saw Jerusalem surrounded by the Roman army lead

by Titus Vespasian, they remembered Christ’s prophecy and left

the city.

People who remained in the city said or thought: “Here is

God’s temple, here is God’s presence. God will take care of us.”

But not so, He didn’t take care of them, those who were left

behind in the city were wounded, thousands of them were

crucified and placed on the walls of the city, because the time for

the destruction was come because they did not know of God’s

visitation in Jesus, and then later on the divine judgment of

which Christ spoke of, came.

Because when God brings something for the people, and the

people receives it, it receives the blessing which comes in that

which God sent to the people, that’s found in the words of Jesus

when He says: “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a

prophet, receiveth a prophet’s reward,” in other words, he

receives the benefit for which God has sent that prophet; and he

that rejects the blessing God sends, there is nothing left for him

but the divine judgment.

Which is why Christ said: “For ye knew not the time of your

visitation, days shall come upon thee when your enemies shall

cast a trench about thee and compass thee round, and keep thee

in on every side, and shall kill your children,” that’s there in

Luke, chapter 19, notice, there the promise of the Coming of the

Lord was being fulfilled, God’s visitation in a body of flesh.

Luke, chapter 19, verse 41 and onwards, says…this was at the

triumphal entrance of Christ to Jerusalem:

“And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept

over it,

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy

day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are

hid from thine eyes.

For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall

cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee

in on every side,

And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children

within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon

another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.”

One must know what God has promised for the time the

person is living, and the Church as Mystical Body of believers

has to know the time, one has to be aware of the time one is

living, because if one does not know it, the fulfillment of those

promises will go over the persons head, and they won’t even see

them; rather he will attack the fulfillment of those promises, he

will blaspheme against them and will persecute the believers that

have seen the fulfillment of those promises, as it happened in the

time of Jesus and as it happened in other times in the Old

Testament and the New Testament as well.

We find the questions they made to the Lord Jesus Christ,

one of them was for that century in which it would be fulfilled

and it was fulfilled in the 70th year of the Christian era, and the

other two pertain to the end time, the end of the century or Last

Day, for the questions are: “When will these things be? in other

words, the destruction of Jerusalem and of the temple, “and what

will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the century?”

Then when He answers them, He teaches all these signs:

wars, deceivers, false prophets, false anointed ones, who will

come in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ from those times until

our time saying that they are the Christ, that is, that they are the

Anointed Ones, that they are anointed with the Spirit of God,

because what Christ means is: the Anointed One. It says:

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye

be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the

end is not yet.”

Notice, since that time until our time one has been hearing

of wars, one has also been hearing about rumors of wars, rumors

that a war is building up and thus one sees neighboring nations

just about to enter into war, (rumors of wars), but also wars, such

as the first world war, the second world war, and rumors of a

third world war which is approaching which is impossible to be

stopped: on its due time will be fulfilled, for it is in the Scripture,

and it will be an atomic war.

But don’t worry, the atomic bombs will straighten up the

incline the Earth has, and that will prepare the Earth for the

Kingdom of the Messiah, the millennial Kingdom, and we will

no longer require of air conditioning because everything will

work out well, with a comfortable temperature in all parts of the

planet.

There will be a great change, and always when there are

changes or when changes have to emerge, sometimes many

people don’t agree with the changes, but the opinion of the

people concerning those changes doesn’t count, because it is a

Divine Program and no one can tell God what He has to do, He

already has His Program programmed since before the

foundation of the world, and It is going to be fulfilled; what’s

important is for us is to know which is God’s Program or in

which part of God’s Program we are living, and which are the

promises God has made for our time, for His Church and for

every believer in Christ as an individual.

Now, it says that “nation shall rise against nation, kingdom

against kingdom, there will be pests, whether diseases, famine,

earthquakes,” earthquakes in divers places; we have been seeing

it for many years, and all this will be beginning of pains, that’s

a sign, birth pains because the Earth is with birth pains to give

birth to a new Earth for the Kingdom of the Messiah.

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill

you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”

There we have persecutions for Jesus Name’s sake, under

which the Christians and also the Jews have been subdued; also

for Jesus Name’s sake, for Christ’s death the Jews were

persecuted by nations in different occasions, by Christianity or

part of Christianity, which used nations to persecute Israel until

it came to the Holocaust which Hitler carried out against the

Jews. Now, it says:

“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one

another, and shall hate one another.

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall

wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be

saved.”

Each person must understand that God deals with

individuals, each person has to take care of his own salvation

with fear and trembling; if someone leaves the Lord, you

continue persevering, you continue forward persisting, because

you will not stumble, the fact that someone else has had left the

Lord and has lost the blessing of eternal Life is not your concern,

you will not want to lose the blessing of eternal Life, you want

to live eternally, therefore, you continue enduing unto the end,

whether unto the end of your days on Earth as well as unto the of

the century or end of time that pertains to the Last Day, the

seventh millennium since Adam until now or third millennium

since Christ until now, that’s the Last Day before God, “for one

day before the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years

as one day” (Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8, and Psalm 90,

verse 4).

When one speaks of the Last Days, some people think: “We

have already arrived or we are arriving to the last days,” notice,

the last days started at the time when Jesus was three to seven

years of age, because the last days before God are the last three

millenniums from Christ until now: fifth millennium, sixth

millennium and seventh millennium, just as the last days of the

week are: the fifth day of the week which is Thursday, the sixth

day of the week which is Friday, and the seventh day of the week

which is Saturday, the last day of the week; Sunday is the first

day of a week which is beginning. Therefore, when the Scripture

speaks of the Last Day, it is not a day of 24 hours, but of a

thousand years.

For the Last Day there are great promises on God’s behalf,

great promises for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the

believers in Christ as individuals, and for the Hebrew people as

well. Christ tells also which are the signs that will be present in

this time, and we cannot ignore the signs, because the signs are

the ones which tell us the time in which we are living, this is why

the disciples asked Him: “And which will be the sign of Your

Coming and of the end of the world or end of the century?”

Let’s see the Scripture, Matthew, chapter 13, verses 36 and

onwards, it says: “Then…” remember the Scripture says, verse

34:

“All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables;

and without a parable spake he not unto them:

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,

saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things

which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”

There are many things which are hidden in the parables

since the foundation of the world and they were spoken in

parables, if one understands those parables, one understands

those things which were hidden since the foundation of the

world. Now let’s see:

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the

house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us

the parable of the tares of the field.

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good

seed is the Son of man;

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the

kingdom (the wheat are the children of the Kingdom, those are

the ones that would receive Christ as only and sufficient Saviour,

and they would form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ)<em>; but

the tares are the children of the wicked one.”

Here Christ says that there are children of God and there are

children of the wicked one. it is not as some people think or say:

“Everyone is a child of God,” not so, Christ doesn’t say that,

Christ says that there are children of the wicked one and there are

children of God, children of the Kingdom.

“…the harvest is the end of the world…”

The harvest is for the end of the world. The time of harvest

is reaping time, and at reaping time its summer time, it is the

stage or summer season. When Christ says in Matthew 24, that

“when we shall see all these things come to pass, summer is

nigh,” therefore, being that during summer time the harvest is

carried out, the reaping, then reaping, the harvest, is about to be

carried out, and therefore the Kingdom of God is nigh and

therefore our redemption is nigh, Luke, chapter 21: “When we

see these things come to pass, lift up your heads, for our

redemption is nigh.” The redemption of the body, which will be

our transformation for us which are alive, and the resurrection in

eternal bodies for them who died.

“…the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are

the angels…”

The harvest is carried out by the Angels, and now let’s see,

it says:

“As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire;

so shall it be in the end of this world.”

So shall it be, and if it says that it shall be so, then a harvest

will be carried out, a gathering of the wheat, to be placed in the

Kingdom of God, in God’s Barn, and there will be a gathering of

the tares to be burnt in fire during the great tribulation. Now it

says”

“…so shall it be in the end of this world.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall

gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which

do iniquity.”

Here the Angels are mentioned again. Also in the same

chapter 13, verses 47 to 50, in the parable of the net Christ says:

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was

cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down,

and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come

forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be

wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

In other words, they shall cast the evil ones in the great

tribulation which is mentioned as a furnace of fire:

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven;

and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:

and the day that cometh shall burn them up, (in other words, they

will be burned, says the Lord) saith the LORD of hosts, that it

shall leave them neither root nor branch.” Malachi, chapter 1,

verse 1, and chapter 4, verse 1; and same chapter 4, verse 2, says:

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of

righteousness arise (that is the Second Coming of Christ) with

healing in his wings…”

It will be unto salvation, it will be for the redemption of the

body, for the adoption, the transformation of them which are

alive in Christ and the resurrection of the dead in Christ in

glorified bodies.

Here we see what has been promised for the end of the

century, for the end time, for harvest time, that’s what will be

happening in the Divine Program.

And now, we are going to see that which Christ said

concerning the Angels, chapter 24, verse 31 says…30 to 31:

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in

heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they

shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with

power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a

trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four

winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Here Christ sends His Angels, Christ sends His Angels to

call His elect with great sound of trumpet. The elect of the

Hebrew people are hundred and forty four thousand, twelve

thousand of each tribe according to Revelation, chapter 7, where

the Angel appears with the Seal of the living God, with the Holy

Spirit, to call, to gather and seal one hundred and forty four

thousand Hebrews, twelve thousand of each tribe.

The Angels are the two Olive Trees: Moses and Elijah, the

ministries of Moses and Elijah being manifested by the Holy

Spirit to call and gather together those elect of the Hebrew

people that appear in Chapter 7, of Revelation, and then they also

appear in chapter 14 of Revelation.

Those are signs; therefore, God in this end time is going to

call the Jews under the ministry of the two Olive Trees of

Revelation, chapter 11, verse 1 to 14; and chapter11, verses 15

to 19, we find that the Trumpet is blown, that Great Trumpet, the

two Olive Trees come with the Trumpet, the Great Trumpet

calling and gathering together one hundred and forty four

thousand, twelve thousand of each tribe.

When we see a ministry that would draw the attention of

Israel, remember what is written here, that is a ministry that will

come with the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Voice of God by

means of the Holy Spirit, through that ministry bringing the

message that pertains to the Jews.

We cannot explain much about it so that no imitations may

arise that may affect the Hebrew people, but be attentive, because

the ministry of the Angels with the Great Voice of Trumpet, the

ministry of the two Olive Trees, of Moses and Elijah, will be

repeated in this end time, and Israel will hear it, and that will be

a great sign because that will be the first time in the history of the

Hebrew people that that will happen.

We are at the time when we must have our eyes wide open,

we must know which are the promises of God for this end time

for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the Hebrew

people, and we have to see what’s happening in the midst of

Christianity and what’s happening in the midst of the Jews and

in the midst of the rest of the nations.

For instance, we can see what the Scripture says about

Israel: it is already a free and sovereign nation for about sixty and

some years; that’s a great sign: the fig tree has budded. Christ

says in Luke chapter 21: “When ye see the fig tree putting forth

and the other trees (the rest of the trees are the other nations, and

mainly the nations of the Middle East), lift up your heads (it also

says) for your redemption draweth nigh.”

When is it that the trees bud and then bring forth fruit? In

spring, they have done well by calling ‘the Arab spring’ to all

that movement that is taking place in the Middle East, Israel

already had its spring, its Jewish spring, and it put forth; now it

is the turn for the other trees, it is a sign which Christ gave in

order for us to be with our eyes wide open to that which is

happening in the Middle East and to bring it to the Scripture so

as to understand what’s happening in the Middle East, and after

spring then summer comes, it says:

“And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and

all the trees;

When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own

selves that summer is now nigh at hand.”

Spring comes first, where they shoot forth, and thereafter the

fruit comes forth and thereafter the harvest comes which is in

summer time.

“So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass,

know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.”

“Know ye that the Kingdom of the Messiah is nigh at hand,”

because the Kingdom of God on Earth is the Kingdom of the

Messiah also called the Kingdom of David which will be

restored, and the Throne of David where the Messiah will sit, to

which He is heir. It is important to see these things, it says:

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up,

and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Our transformation, the redemption of the body, the

redemption of the body for all the believers in Christ of past

Ages and of our time, because the dead will resurrect in eternal

bodies and we who are alive will be changed.

This is why the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been

persevering, has been persisting, since it was born at the Day of

Pentecost, and the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus

Christ of past times persevered, persisted, in the time that was

allotted to them to live until the end of their days on Earth.

And now, it has been allotted to the Church of the end time

or the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this end time, to be

persevering, to be persisting, because there is a goal: the

adoption, the redemption of the body, our transformation, to be

in the image and likeness of Christ with eternal, immortal,

glorified and young bodies throughout eternity.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is persevering, it has a

goal, She has been seeing the signs Christ mentioned, the signs

that point out that we are at the end time or final time or end of

the world; in other words, when one says: “end of the world,” it

doesn’t mean that it will be the end of the planet Earth, but the

end of the human systems for the Program of God to come

thereafter through the Messiah, or let’s say: God’s system that

will be established in the Kingdom of the Messiah where there

shall be a complete change in the life of the human family.

And now the question is, as individuals: who are persevering

unto the end? I am persevering unto the end, until I am changed.

For this end time the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and every

believer has great promises of great blessings, and has also great

promises of signs he’ll be seeing in the midst of Christianity.

When the person perseveres, when the person persists, he is

like the children when they start walking, their goal is to be seen

walking like the rest of the people, but they only start crawling,

and they stand up and fall, but they are persevering, persisting,

to reach the goal of walking like the rest of the people, and they

achieve it, they believe that they will walk; he that believes not,

months pass by and years may pass by and doesn’t walk until

fear goes away, and when fear goes away he has faith that he is

able to walk.

Having no faith is to fear. Fear comes by lack of faith. And

now, the child that is starting to walk believes that he can reach

the goal of walking, because if his father achieved it, his mother,

and his little brothers, he can also achieve it, and he will try

every day, he falls and he stands up. So it is he that persists, that

perseveres until he reaches his goal.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has great promises that

She is going to be changed as Mystical Body, and every believer

in Christ as an individual. There is also a promise for the Church

that She will have a great revival from God’s behalf, a great

blessing, and that in the midst of Christianity that Pull which the

reverend William Branham called the Third Pull will arise,

where God’s presence will be in the midst of His Church and He

will fill His Church of Love Divine and He will be manifested

mightily in the midst of His Church.

And this Third Pull will be for the Church Bride of the Lord

Jesus Christ, in other words, the wise virgins who have the Holy

Spirit, they have oil in their lamps, in their lives, and it will also

be for the foolish virgins, professing believers in Christ but

without the Holy Spirit, consequently they are not born again,

and also for the world and consequently for Israel also that will

see that manifestation and will say: “This is what we are waiting

for, this is the one we are waiting for,” because they are waiting

for God to manifest Himself in the Last day in the fulfillment of

what has been promised to them.

And that Third Pull, the reverend William Branham says

that it will be manifested in a Great Tent Cathedral, therefore

when that Tent Vision will be seen fulfilled, it will be the

greatest sign for Christianity, for the wise virgins, for the foolish

virgins, for the world, for the Jews, and for the entire human

race; that will be a sign as the Ark of Noah was, but it won’t be

the Ark of Noah, but it will be a sign as the construction of the

Ark of Noah was.

Well said Christ that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall

be the day in which the Son of Man will be revealed, will be

manifested. Therefore, as there were people in the time of Noah

working with Noah in the construction of the Ark, there will also

be believers in that vision that was shown to the reverend

William Branham working for the fulfillment of the Tent Vision,

they will be blessed people with prophetic perception to

materialize that which was seen and made known which will be

happening in the midst of Christianity.

It is there where the Third Pull will be manifested, it will be

there where the thunders will be uttering their voices, where it

will be made known everything the thunders spoke, it will be

there where God will be revealing the mystery of the Seventh

Seal, in other words, the mystery of the Coming of the Son of

Man for the Last Day, the mystery of the Coming of the Lord to

His Church.

Therefore, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this time

will be in that path working for the materialization of that vision.

There is no hope for mankind except the Coming of the Lord,

there is no other hope for mankind, there is no other hope for the

resurrection of the dead in Christ, there is no other hope for the

living to be changed, there is no other hope for the rapture or

catching away of the Church to go to the Wedding Supper of the

Lamb.

There is one hope, and it is the second Coming of the Lord,

the Coming of the Lord to His Church and that’s appointed for

the end of the century where we shall see the ministries of the

Angels of the Son of Man, the ministries of Moses and Elijah,

blowing the Great Voice of Trumpet or final Trumpet, God’s

final Message, the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, to call

and gather one hundred and forty four thousand Hebrews, twelve

thousand of each tribe.

In other words, that trumpet deals with the Hebrew people,

calling and gathering them, and it deals with the believers in

Christ being gathered in this end time, gathered together to be

changed and carried with Christ to the Wedding Supper of the

Lamb, for Paul says: “Behold, I shew you a mystery: we shall not

all sleep, but we shall all be changed, at the final trumpet, for the

trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall be resurrected

incorruptible and we which are alive shall be changed” (First

Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 50 to 58).

That’s the hope for the believers in Christ, and that is the

goal: the transformation that He has promised for them which are

alive, and the resurrection for the dead in Christ for the Last Day,

for the end of the century or end time.

Christ has been, is, and will always be with the believers in

Him, He said: “I will be with you always, until the end of the

world or the end of time.” Therefore, Christ is with us as He was

with the apostles in their time, as He was with the different

messengers in their time, as He was with the reverend William

Branham in his time, He is also with us in this end time.

And consequently the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will

be working for the materialization of everything that has been

promised for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, because whom

He has to use are the believers in Him, just as God used Jesus to

carry out the work relevant to that time. Christ has been using

His Church since the Day of Pentecost until now, because God’s

partners in His Program are the believers in Christ, those are

Christ’s partners in the work He has been carrying out.

“ENDURING UNTO THE END.”

Until the end of the century, until the end of time, until the

end of the world, in other words, the end of the human systems

and end of all things, therefore, holding on to Christ we will

achieve the goal God has shown, to which we can reach: which

is the redemption of the body, in other words, our

transformation, if we remain alive, and if anyone departs before,

well, he will resurrect in a glorified body.

But we desire to remain alive so that no one may weep for

us, our desire is to be changed and to see how our atoms are

changed from mortal into immortal, which was shown and typed

when God appeared to Abraham and Sarah, Abraham ninety nine

years old and Sarah eighty nine years old, and He says to him:

“Next year you will have a son,” for which they had to be

rejuvenated in order to have the promised son: Isaac, type and

shadow of the transformation that is coming for the believers in

Christ for the Last Day.

So, we will continue persevering unto the end; we will reach

the goal, we will reach that which God has promised, the

blessing of the redemption of the body, the glorification

promised to all believers in Christ.

If there is someone that has not received Christ as Saviour

yet, you can do it right now and we will be praying for you so

that Christ may receive you in His Kingdom, may forgive you

and may cleanse you with His Blood from all sin and be baptized

in water in His Name and may Christ baptize you with Holy

Spirit and Fire and may produce in you the new birth, for which

you can come here in front and we will pray for you.

And those in other nations can also come to the Feet of

Christ so that they are included in the prayer we will be doing in

a few minutes. And the children can also come to the Feet of

Christ, children ten years and older for Christ to receive them in

His Kingdom.

We are going to wait for a few minutes while they come in

front those who have not received Christ yet, so that they may

receive Him, those of you that are present and of other nations.

We are going to stand on our feet to pray for the people that are

coming to the Feet of Christ our Saviour.

Christ has much people not only in Puerto Rico but in the

whole of Latin America, in all the Caribbean, North America and

in all the nations and He is calling them in this end time. If you

hear today His Voice, hardened not your heart, He is calling you,

you are listening to the preaching of His Gospel because Your

Name is written in Heaven in the Book of Life. If you hear today

His Voice, hardened not your heart, He is calling you unto

salvation.

Christ Himself said: “My sheep hear my Voice and they

follow me, and I know them, and I give them eternal Life; and

they shall never perish, my Father that gave them unto me is

greater than all, and no one can pluck them out from my Father’s

hands,” (John, chapter 10, verses 27 to 30).

We are going to pray for the people that have come to the

Feet of Christ. With our hands raised to Christ, to heaven, and

our eyes closed:

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of the Lord

Jesus Christ bringing before you all these persons that here

and in other countries are receiving Christ as only and

sufficient Saviour, I pray receive them in Your Kingdom. In

the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray.

And now those who are coming to the Feet of Christ repeat

after me this prayer:

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 Name as the only Name under

Heaven given unto men whereby we must be saved, I believe in

Your first Coming, I believe in Your death on Calvary’s Cross

as the Sacrifice of Atonement for our sins, and I recognize that

I am a sinner and I need a Savior, a Redeemer.

I bear public testimony of my faith in You and I receive

You as my only and sufficient Saviour. I pray forgive my sins

and cleanse me with Your Blood from all sin, and baptize me

with Holy Ghost and Fire after I am baptized in water in Your

Name and may You produce the new birth in me.

I want to be born in Your Kingdom, I want to live eternally

with You in Your Kingdom, make a reality in my life the

salvation You purchased for me at Cavalry’s Cross, and for

everyone that would receive You. Save me Lord. In Your

Name, in Your eternal and glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ

I pray, to whom be the glory and honor forever and ever.

Amen.

With our hands raised to Christ, to Heaven, we all say: The

Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all sin!

The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all

sin! The Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed me

from all sin! Amen.

Christ has received you in His Kingdom, has forgiven your

sins and with His Blood He has cleansed you from all sin, for

you have received Him as your only and sufficient Saviour. You

will say to me: “I want to be baptized in water as soon as

possible,” for 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).

“When can I be baptized?” it’s the question from the depth

of your heart. Inasmuch as you have believed in Christ with all

your heart, you may well be baptized, and may Christ baptize

you with Holy Ghost and Fire and produce in you the new birth.

Water baptism doesn’t take sins away, it is typological.

When the person receives Christ as Saviour, he dies to the world,

and when he is immersed in the baptismal water by the minister,

typologically, symbolically, he is being buried, and when he is

raised from the baptismal waters, he is being resurrected unto a

new life, unto eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom.

Christ Himself was baptized by John, who didn’t want to

baptize Him and said to Jesus while already in the waters of

Jordan: “I must be baptized by You, and You come to me for me

to baptize You? and Jesus says to Him, “It is becoming us to

fulfill all righteousness,” and then he baptized Him.

If Christ needed to be baptized by John, how much more we

need to be baptized, for it is a commandment of the Lord Jesus

Christ, “he that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved.”

In water baptism we identify with Christ in His death, burial

and resurrection, that’s the sense or meaning of water baptism,

we identify with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.

So you may be baptized, those who have come to the Feet of

Christ, and may Christ baptize you with Holy Ghost and Fire and

produce in you the new birth, and we will continue to see each

other eternally in the Kingdom of Christ our Saviour.

I leave with you the reverend Jose Benjamin Perez here

present, and in the different countries I leave the minister

concerned to let you know what to do to be baptized in water in

the Name of the Lord, and we will see each other soon. Until

next Sunday God willing.

May you continue spending a happy afternoon, full of the

blessings of Christ our Saviour.
