1 24 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO May God bless you and keep you; and I leave with you Reverend Jose Benjamin Perez, and in every country I leave each minister to inform all those who have come to the Feet of Christ on this occasion what to do in order to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord.

2 WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 23 NOTES TO THE READER It is our intention to do an exact and faithful transcription of this Message, just as was preached; therefore any error in this writing is strictly error of hearing, transcription and impression; and should not be interpreted as errors of the Message. The contained text in this conference can be verified with the recordings of the audio or of the video. This pamphlet should be used only for personal purposes of study, until be published formally. continue seeing each other eternally in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior. Therefore, you may well be baptized, for which I leave the Minister here in Puerto Rico, Reverend Jose Benjamin Perez, and in each country I leave each minister to let you know 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 may He produce the new birth in you. Next Friday and Sunday I will be with you here to continue. On Thursday and Sunday. At what time Thursday? At 10:00 a.m. and also on Sunday at 10:00. In other words, on Thursday, it will be as if it were Sunday. Therefore, until next Thursday, God willing, when I will be with you again. May God bless you and keep you, and continue having an evening filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior. Let s also remember that Reverend William Branham departed early in the morning on December 24, at about 5 a.m., and that was a great sign among Christianity. Why exactly did Reverend William Branham depart on the morning of December 24, 1965? One day God will allow us to know what his departure in 1965 means, as well as the meaning of the departure of John the Baptist in the days of Jesus. John said: He must increase, but I must decrease. Those words of John may have to do with his departure which they did not think would happen in those days, but it did happen. Likewise, it may have been prudent that Reverend William Branham depart at that time, but what he said will be fulfilled as it was said: The Message will continue. Therefore, it s important to be updated with the Message of Reverend William Branham, because it is the Message that foreruns the Second Coming of Christ.

3 22 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO Let us stand up to pray for those who are coming to the Feet of Christ in different countries and also here: With our heads bowed and our eyes closed: Heavenly Father who art in Heaven, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I come to You with all these people who are coming to the Feet of Christ our Savior. Receive them in Your Kingdom, I pray to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Now repeat this prayer after me which I will make at this time: 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. I believe in You, in Your Name as the only name under Heaven, given unto men, whereby we must be saved. I believe in Your death on Calvary s Cross as the Sacrifice of the Atonement for our sins. I recognize that I am a sinner and I need a Savior, a Redeemer. I pray may You forgive my sins, and may you cleanse me with Your Blood from all sin. I thus give public testimony Your faith in me and my faith in You, and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior. Lord, I pray that You lead my life and make a reality in my life Your salvation, the salvation You purchased for me on Calvary's Cross. I pray in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen. Now, those who have come to the Feet of Christ may ask: When can you baptize me? Because 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. (Saint Mark chapter 16, verses 15 to 16). Since you have believed with all your heart, you may be baptized and may Christ baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire, and bring forth the new birth in you. And we will WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS? Dr. William Soto Santiago Sunday, December 27, 2015 Cayey, Puerto Rico G ood morning, beloved friends and brethren present and those in different nations; and also to Missionary Miguel Bermudez Marin. Receive my greetings, and may God bless you greatly, and may He open our understanding and open the Scriptures to us in order to comprehend God s Program pertaining to this end time. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. On this occasion I would like to thank the Activists, all the Activists who were connected yesterday in all of Latin America, in the 2015 Closing Dinner, where we witnessed all the activities that the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace have carried out during this year. We hope to continue counting on your commitment in this This Sunday we have two videos where we will be able to see the latest activities of the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace in Colombia. Therefore, you may screen both of the short videos we have for this occasion. We have seen the work that has been done (on this occasion) there in Colombia, by the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace. On this occasion we will read in Saint Matthew chapter 2, verses 1 and on, where it says to us:

4 4 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to comprehend It. Our subject for this occasion is: WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS? The most important thing from God to the human being is the Coming of the Messiah. And the Coming of the Messiah has two important parts: His First Coming and His Second Coming. And His Third Coming will take place after the Great Tribulation, when He comes with His Church, everyone already transformed, glorified, and young, to begin the Millennial Kingdom. But between the First Coming and the Second Coming we have the Coming of the Lord to His Church, to take Her to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In other words, now, at this end time, what pertains to the believers in Christ, to Christianity, is the Coming of the Lord to His Church, which has been a mystery for two thousand years. A mystery that will be revealed to the Church in the end time; therefore, the only hope that the human race has is the Second Coming of Christ. Planet Earth is in anguish because it is suffering many problems. The majority of them provoked by human beings; and the Earth is in anguish, and the Earth is having birth pains to give birth to a new Earth, to a restore Earth for the Kingdom of the Messiah, for that Millennial Kingdom. Therefore, what will take place in this end time will be parallel to His First Coming two thousand years ago and it will also be parallel to the time of Noah, and to the time of Abraham and Lot, when God descended in a visible form, in WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 21 their Savior, you may do so at this time and we will be praying for you so that Christ is also in your heart. And when they ask: Where is Christ? Where is He who has been born the King of the Jews? You can also answer as an individual: Christ is here in my heart, in my soul. He has been born in my soul, in my heart. As an individual, that is the manager for Christ to be born in the person. And at the Last Day in which we are living, great blessings come from God through Christ to place more steadfastly in His Kingdom and increase our faith, to give us the faith to be changed and raptured in this end time. That is where we will receive the faith to be changed and caught away; the rapturing faith will come in the Age of the Cornerstone. That is when Christ will bring rapturing faith, the faith for the transformation and the rapture at the Last Day in the time in which we are allotted to live. When Christ opens the mystery of the Seventh Seal to us, we will see that everything is simpler than what we thought. Reverend William Branham said that the Seventh Seal, the Coming of the Lord, will be in simplicity. Everything will be simple; and we will believe it and we will understand it, and we will receive all the blessings that He has for His Church in this end time. And the Jews will say: That s the One we ve waited on. In other words: Why there? Why among the Gentiles? You will understand that later. The important thing is to know where Christ will be in this end time, so that He can bless us with the faith to be changed and raptured, and be able to obtain our transformation or glorification. Those in different nations can also receive Christ as their Savior, so you may come to the front so that you are included in the prayer we will be making for those who are receiving Christ as their only and sufficient Savior.

5 20 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO been ascending from age to age and now He is in the Age of the Cornerstone. Where is the King of the Jews? In the Age of the Cornerstone with the believers of this end time, giving us the revealed Word to give us the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And we will see Him manifested in all His fullness in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision which Reverend William Branham had. That vision will be fulfilled in this end time. Therefore, let s hold on tightly to Christ like Jacob was holding on to the Angel of the Covenant, until he received the blessing of God; he was holding on tight. Let us hold on tightly to Christ until we receive God s blessing of change, the blessing of the transformation of our bodies in this end time. Because without the transformation of our bodies we can t go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. There are no planes that can takes us to the House of the heavenly Father; we must be changed first and then taken in the chariots of fire, just as the chariots of fire which took prophet Elijah to God s House. He was taken in chariots of fire, which are the angels sent by God in chariots of fire, or flying saucers, as they are called in some places; they are also called UFOs, or unidentified flying objects. Elijah left in one of those, Enoch also left, he disappeared, and so on; and Christ ascended to Heaven, and was also taken to the House of the Heavenly Father. And the saints who resurrected with Christ were also taken to the House of God. We will be taken to the House of God for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; in other words, a family Supper, a Marriage Supper, a Marriage reception that will take place in Heaven, where Christ and His Church will be invested as kings to reign in the millennium and throughout eternity with Christ. If there is anyone who still hasn t received Christ as WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 5 physical bodies, and they ate with Abraham. And then the two Angels that accompanied Him went to Sodom and they had supper there with Lot. It was the time for the Divine Judgment to fall upon Sodom and Gomorrah and its nearby cities. And Christ, referring to the Coming of the Son of Man for the end time, said that the Coming of the Son of Man would be like the days of Noah, and also like the days of Lot. Saint Luke, chapter 17 Chapter 17, verse 24 and on, of Saint Luke, tells us: For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. In Saint Matthew it says: For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west (or until the West). In other words He comes as the Lightning: For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verse 27. Remember that when it speaks about the Second Coming of Christ, it is referring to the Coming of the Son of Man at the end time. Now let s continue with Saint Luke: But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

6 6 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. In other words, for the end time in which the Son of Man will be manifested, humanity will be like the antediluvian world from Noah s time, which always had its thoughts focused on evil, and the Earth was very violent among the nations. And during the time of Lot, we find that the situation was degrading amongst their citizens. And Christ says that as it was in that time, it will also be that way when the Son of Man shall be manifested. In other words, that is how the Coming of the Son of Man will be, this is how the human race will be: as it was in the time of Noah and in the time of Lot. And because how it was back then, the Divine Judgment had to fall upon that antediluvian generation, and on another occasion upon the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. But in the time of Noah, Noah was building the ark where he and his family and many animals, fowls, and reptiles would be saved to begin a new generation after the flood. To begin a new time, a new dispensation, a new Divine Program, a Divine Plan for Noah and his descendants. The time of the flood also typifies the time of the Great Tribulation; and the time of Sodom and Gomorrah and its destruction typifies the time of the Great Tribulation wherein the Divine Judgment will fall upon all of humanity. Atomic fire; just as atomic fire fell upon Sodom, atomic fire will fall in a Third World War, and just as a flood of water came, a flood of fire will fall upon many nations. And we do not know what other problems will fall upon the Earth such as Asteroids that can collide with the Earth, like stars falling upon the Earth, and things like that, and stone WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 19 the transformation and catching away to Heaven to be in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Let s make proper use of time. Let us be aware of the Message of Reverend William Branham, which foreruns the Second Coming of Christ with His Angels, and let s be alert as to what God is giving us in the end time, so that we obtain the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. No one wants to be on Earth for the Great Tribulation. Therefore, let s be prepared. God will help us be prepared to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. During these two thousand years, Christ has been in Holy Spirit in His Church, from age to age. Where has the King of the Jews been, who was born in Bethlehem of Judea? In the past two thousand years, He has been in the midst of His Church from age to age, manifesting Himself through each messenger in the relevant age, where He has been reproducing Himself in sons and daughters of God through His Church which is the Second Eve, just as Christ is also the Second Adam. In other words, He has been producing the new birth in the Kingdom of God for millions of human beings which have been translated from the kingdom of darkness and placed in the Kingdom of God through the new birth that the Holy Spirit brings forth among His Church. Therefore, just as Christ was in the house of God when He was 12 years old, Christ is in the midst of His Church, of His House, His spiritual Temple, in the business of the Father. He said He would be with us always until the end of the world. He is with us every day until the end of the world, in the age in which we are to live in this end time. He is no longer in the ages that have, because those ages have ended. He has

7 18 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO that we will be changed and taken with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and the believers in Christ who died will be resurrected and taken with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb as well. We already know where Christ must appear in His Second Coming to seek His Church. He comes like a thief in the night, it says in Revelations chapter 22, verse 12; and in other places of the Scripture He speaks about the same thing. The Son of Man comes to His Church as the Lightning that cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the West. He comes out of the Middle East, from Israel; and He will be shown in the West where the final stage of the Church will be fulfilled, the stage parallel to the Age of the Cornerstone of the First Coming of Christ two thousand years ago. In other words, even the territory is set in God s Program, and everything is planned so that it takes place this way; just as it was for the age, each age of the Church, and the messenger of each Church age, and the territory where each age of the Church was fulfilled. It is that simple. And simpler than all the ages will be the Age of the Cornerstone and everything Christ will be doing in the Age of the Cornerstone at the Last Day. Time is running out, but in the time that is left all of those promises will be fulfilled, and the promises there are for the Hebrew people will also be fulfilled. Therefore, they will rush us. In other words, the Hebrews, the Jews will surely rush us a lot, because they also want to enter into the Program of God corresponding to the Last Day. Reverend William Branham says that when they see Christ coming for His Church, they will say: That s the One we ve waited on. But He comes for His Church, for WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 7 hails weighing approximately, let us say, 50 to 60 pounds, which will greatly harm humanity. All those things are appointed to come under the plagues that will fall, that will come upon the human race in the end time. It will be a very difficult time for mankind; but the born again believers in Christ who will be alive, they will be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and those who died in Christ will be resurrected in eternal, glorified, and young bodies, and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. But the question of our subject is: WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS? That was the question back then in the First Coming of Christ. That question will be asked again in this end time among religious leaders, political leaders, and also people who await the Messiah to come (such as the Jews) for the redemption of Israel. This article here says that Jews, Rabbis... it says that the Cabalist Jews expect the Coming of the Messiah during the year 2016, up until the month of October of the year Meaning that since September 14, 2015 until October 2, 2016, the Rabbis... this article says: All the rabbis of Israel and of the world estimate that between 2015 and 2016 will be the Coming of the Messiah to Israel. And it says that rabbinical tradition affirms that the Coming of the Messiah w i l l b e a f t e r a S a b b a t h y e a r. [ eran-la-lleg ad a-del-mesias-hasta-e l-0 2-o c tu b re html, article available in Spanish only] Every seven years we have a Sabbath year: the seventh year is a Sabbath year for Israel, according to Leviticus chapter 25, verse 1 to 12, as well as every seventh cycle of seven Sabbath years, for which a period of 49 years is necessary. In 49 years there are seven Sabbath years. Every

8 8 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO seventh year there is a Sabbath year, and then the fiftieth year, is the year of Jubilee. Therefore, after the seven Sabbath cycles which cover 49 years, the fiftieth year is the year of Jubilee, it is the cycle of the Messianic Era in which Christ came two thousand year ago, for which He first sent His forerunner John the Baptist, announcing to the people that the Messiah was at hand and that it was the time for the Coming of the Messiah, and he called the people to prepare themselves for His Coming. The cycle of this end time in which we are living is identical. The time for the First Coming of Christ is on a Jubilee year and the time for the Second Coming of Christ is on a Jubilee year. Therefore, the Jews are preparing themselves... I have read that they have a Torah, a Bible (or, the Old Testament) to give to the Messiah in His Coming. In other words, there is a spiritual awakening among the Jews because the Messianic Era has begun; and as we have seen, even the President of Russia, President Putin or Prime Minister, delivered a message on behalf of the Russian Orthodox Church to President Obama where it speaks about the Messianic times, and so on. In other words, everything is moving not only among the Jews, but among the nations as well. There is a great concern about this subject of the Coming of the Messiah in the end time. Part of Christianity, or Christianity itself is getting ready, and the Jews are also preparing themselves, and the nations are worried and leaders of nations also want to prepare themselves for the Coming of the Messiah because we have reached the Divine Cycle of Messianic times. And now, we find that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will prepare Herself to welcome the Messiah, and to WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 17 Let me be true, Lord, and honest and sincere that I might be able to bear the message as far as it's ordained for me to bear. And when it comes to the time that I must lay down, when I get down to the river, and the waves begin to come in, O God, may I be able to hand this old Sword over to somebody else that'll be honest with It, Lord, and will pack the truth. Grant it, Lord. The Sword, the Word, the Message He is asking in a prayer, when he is speaking there, in the Seventh Seal, that he may be granted to hand the Sword, the Word, the Message to another person. And who can receive such a great blessing and responsibility? In Revelation chapter 10 and chapter 11, it shows us that the Two Olive Trees are the ones appearing to teach the Word of God. Therefore, the ministries of Moses and Elijah are the ones that appear with the Word, the Sword in the hand, bringing God s Message for the end time, the fifth Elijah and the second Moses, or third Moses. And therefore, that will be what has been promised to be fulfill what Reverend William Branham says about someone who will come after him, for whom he is preparing the way. When he speaks about the Coming of the Lord, he always shows us that He comes with His Angels, which are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, to call and gather one hundred forty four thousand Hebrews (twelve thousand from each tribe), of the children of Israel. And for the Church, the blessing is the ministry of Christ calling and gathering His elect in the Last Day to give them the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Where will Christ be at the Last Day? In His Church, where He has been from age to age. And at the Last Day He will be there to have the greatest manifestation, the manifestation of God s Power in all His fullness, to the point

9 16 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO in Christ to welcome Christ in His Second Coming is the Message of Reverend William Branham, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ. That is why the Message continues in the Age of the Cornerstone. The Sword in the hand, the Word passes on from the forerunner, the fourth Elijah, to the fifth Elijah so that the Divine Program pertaining to this end time be fulfilled. In the reading you had a couple of minutes ago, in the message of Reverend William Braham titled: The Spirit of Truth, on page 7 paragraph 43, says: It may be my going-home time. It looks very much that way. If it is, there will rise somebody after me, that'll take the Message on. This is that after Him another person must appear to carry on the message. After the fourth Elijah comes the fifth Elijah, the second Moses, and the ministry of Christ in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, it is the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, the ministry of Moses for the second time (if we count Jesus as a ministry of Moses, then it s the ministry of Moses for the third time) and the ministry of Christ again upon Earth. All of that pertains to the Age of the Cornerstone. That s where we will find Christ manifested at the Last Day to give us the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. There will rise somebody after me, that'll take the Message on. He'll be an odd person, but he'll rise after this and take the Message on. And you listen to it. As long as it's Scripture, stay with it. In other words He advises... He said: Someone will rise. He recommends that people hear him. That is also what he spoke about here on page 479 of the Book of The Seven Seals where it says: I I I'm beginning to fade away, Lord. I know my days can't be too many more, and I pray that You'll help me. WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 9 receive the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. But the question remains in people s mind: WHERE IS THE KING OF THE JEWS? The King of the Jews in His First Coming was in the midst of the Hebrew people, which were the people who were under the Law, the people under the Old Covenant, and they reached the stage of the Cornerstone, the Age of the Cornerstone, where the Messiah appeared being baptized by John the Baptist and being anointed by the Holy Spirit (which descended upon Him like a dove). And the Messiah was beginning His ministry there. On one occasion, when He was 12 years old, He was in the Temple of Jerusalem, because Joseph and Mary went to the temple in Jerusalem every year to be present in certain religious, spiritual services. And when Joseph and Mary were returning with the multitude of people who came from different places, they were returning to their places, (after a few days walking) they realized that Jesus was not with them. Joseph and Mary returned back to look for the child and they found Him speaking to the priests, the doctors of the Law. With these men, let s say, these theologians, there was a 12 year old boy speaking to them and they were asking Him about the things promised in the Bible, and He would answer with God s Wisdom. And surely He asked them many things, too. They marveled at the boy s wisdom. And when Joseph and Mary arrived, they asked him: Son, why have you done this to us? I don t know if some of you have ever left behind a little boy or girl at a store or a mall, maybe the child went to look for something, to look at the clothes or toys, and you left without him, then you start looking for him and can t find him. Those who have had that experience will know

10 10 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO how difficult it is and the anguish that a person feels when they lose their child. That is how Joseph and Mary were: Why have you done this to us? We have been looking for you. Christ said to them: How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Mary said to Him: Your father and I have been looking for you. But Christ corrects Mary right away, and said to her: Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business (In other words, not in Joseph s businesses, but in the business of His heavenly Father.) Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? To be doing what? Fulfilling what He had to fulfill in His Coming. Therefore, when He was born, He was found in a manger. Then, when He was 12 years old, He was found in the temple working in the business of the Father, which it was promised that the Messiah would do in His Coming. And as a 12-year-old, notice, He already knew the Scriptures, He was growing in wisdom and in stature and in favour with God and man. We find Him in the manger, then in the Temple, and then we find Him being baptized by John the Baptist and beginning His Messianic Ministry, to fulfill everything that the Messiah would carry out in His Messianic Ministry. It is important to know these things so that we know where to look for the Messiah in His Second Coming. The Jews are waiting for Him, they are praying for the Messiah to come, and Christianity is also waiting for Him; and so forth, everyone is waiting for the Coming of the Messiah. The question of the wise men is correct indeed: Where is he? That is the question from the depths of the heart and mind of all mankind. There will be a group of people who will know where He will be and will recognize Him because back then there WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 15 Seal was opened in Heaven, in Revelation chapter 8, verse 1. That is why this secret has remained sealed until it is opened at the end time under a Third Pull mentioned by Reverend William Branham, where the Thunders that spoke in Revelation chapter 10, which is the content or mystery of the Coming of the Lord, will be opened to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ under what Reverend William Branham calls the Third Pull, which will be fulfilled in a Great Tent Cathedral. That is why it was seen by Reverend William Branham in that Great Tent Cathedral he saw in that vision: that the Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant, moved from where he was to a small wooden room where... which sick people entered and exited healed from the other door, in that manifestation of the Third Pull where Christ in all His fullness, God in all His fullness, will be manifested. Therefore, in Christianity, the fulfilment of that Tent Vision must take place among the believers who would have gone up from different ages and will be found in the Age of the Cornerstone. It is in that age and with the people of that age that the Tent Vision will be fulfilled. And they will receive the revelation of the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ to His Church in the Last Day. Where will He be? He will be in the Age of the Cornerstone. Where will He be manifested? In the Age of the Cornerstone. In the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, this is promised to be fulfilled among the believers in Christ. It is that simple. And thus it will have passed on as it passed on from John the Baptist to Jesus; the Work of God to be carried out passes on from the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ to the stage of the Cornerstone, to fulfill there the Coming of the Lord. That is why the Message that prepares all the believers

11 14 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. If He will give him the Bright and Shining Morning Star, what will He receive that has the authority over all nations? He will have the Morning Star, he will have Christ manifested in him. It is the messenger, the Angel who comes with the Seal of the Living God, in Revelation chapter 7, to call and gather one hundred forty four thousand Hebrews, twelve thousand from each tribe. That s how we will find Christ manifested in the Last Day to call and gather the elect of the end time. Remember that Christ has always been in the midst of His Church, but His glorified body has been on the heavenly Throne of God, making intercession for all those who would receive Him as their only and sufficient Savior; but He has been in the midst of His Church in Spirit. That is why He has appeared on many occasions as a Light or Pillar of Light or Pillar of Fire which Saint Paul saw when he was going to imprison the believers, and he asked: Lord, who are you? Because from that Light came out the Voice that said: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Paul knew that it was the same God that had spoken to Moses in that burning bush that did not consume, from Exodus chapter 3, verse 1 and on. And from the Light, from that Light which is stronger than the sun, a Voice comes out, which says: I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest. The same Light that Moses saw, now Saul of Tarso saw it and asked: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? He was told what to do and he became the Apostle to the Gentiles. Christ has been in His Church in Spirit at all times, since the Day of Pentecost to the present. Now, the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ is the mystery that caused silence in Heaven when that Seventh WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 11 was a group of people who knew where He was and they acknowledged him. And if back then there was a group of people, then here will also be a group in this end time to whom the mystery of the Seventh Seal will be revealed, which is the Mystery of the Second Coming of Christ, the Coming of Christ to His Church in the end time. Because He comes as a thief in the night; because mankind is in darkness, spiritually, and thus, they don t know where to look for the Messiah in His Coming in the end time. Christ said: I will be... Now notice, He said where He would be: I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. [Matthew 28:20]. He has been in His Church in Spirit, manifesting Himself throughout the different messengers He has sent to His Church; and through them He has been calling and gathering His elect of each stage of His Church. Where was He found in His First Coming when He was born? In Bethlehem of Judea. Bethlehem typifies Christ. Christ is our Bethlehem. All the sons and daughters of God are born in Christ. Through the union of Christ and His Church, Christ is reproduced in sons and daughters of God from stage to stage and from age to age, in every manifestation of every stage of His Church. It is there in the spiritual Bethlehem, in Christ, our Bethlehem, where the sons and daughters of God are born. Remember that Christ is the Second Adam and His Church is the Second Eve; therefore, His Church is also Bethlehem, because Christ and His Church are one flesh, because His Church is His mystical Body of believers where the sons of God are born in the Kingdom of God. Where will we await the Coming of the Lord? In the Spiritual Bethlehem, which is Christ in His Church. Remember that His Church is represented in Bethlehem, because Bethlehem is the God s House of Bread, the House of the Bread of eternal Life. Christ said: I am the Bread of

12 12 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO Life. [John 6:35] Therefore, Christ is our Bethlehem, the House. Remember that when Christ was by the temple once (in Saint John chapter 2, verses 16 to 23), He said: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. In other words, Christ is the Temple of God, the House of God. He is the Bread of Eternal Life. And whosoever eats from this Bread (of Christ) will live eternally. Now, Christ in His Church brings forth the new birth of millions of human beings from age to age during the Dispensation of Grace. We are beginning to see where we will fix our eyes to see the Coming of the Lord, in order to say where He is in the end time. Just as He was in the midst of the Hebrew people, the people of the Covenant of God under the Law, which is where He had to be born among the people, there, in Bethlehem of Judea, as it was written. And now, under the New Covenant, His Coming will be to His people, to His Church in the last stage of His Church, the stage of the Cornerstone. For which He also sent a forerunner, the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham, in the stage of the seventh age of the Church, represented in the Church of Laodicea in Asia Minor. That Church in Asia Minor represents the stage or Pentecostal Age. Each one of those churches in Asia Minor represents different stages which the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ would go through, and their pastors or ministers represent the messengers that Christ would have for each age. A messenger for each age, which is why they are called angel messengers, because angel means messenger. And they are also called stars, just as all the believers in Christ are represented in the stars from Heaven. God said to Abraham: Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS 13 unto him, so shall thy seed be. And on one occasion in Numbers chapter 24, verse 17, God showed Balam that a star would come out from Jacob. And Balaam spoke it as such in chapter 24, verse 17. That Star is the Messiah. And now, the believers in Christ are represented in stars, the messengers are represented in stars or lights. And we find that Christ Himself is the Bright and Morning Star. In other words, He is represented in the Morning Star. And Christ says in Revelation chapter 2, verses 26 to to 29. He says: And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Here it shows us that He will give authority over the nations, and they will be ruled with an iron rod, and they as the vessels of a potter shall be broken to shivers. Christ said: Even as I received of my Father. Just as Christ was given authority over all the Creation, because He said in Saint Matthew chapter 28, verse 16 and on: All power is given unto me in Heaven and in Earth. In that same way, Christ promises to give the overcomer authority, power, over all nations. Because Christ has power of the Heavens and the Earth, and He will give the overcomer power over all the nations, and He will also give him the Morning Star. And what does it mean to give him the Morning Star? Let s see what the Morning Star is, because the overcomer will have the Morning Star. Chapter 22, verse 16 of the Book of Revelation, says: I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these
