Then, we find that in that ministry God will be operating, working, for three and a half years, being then the Word working through human flesh.
And then we see that after those three and a half years are over: he dies, because he is killed, and then the tribulation begins. Do you see?
So we know, then, that before the tribulation begins there is a three and a half year blessing for God to work through Moses and Elijah, and be of benefit to the elect.
If we knew when the three and a half years of the great tribulation would begin, then we would also know when the three and a half years of the ministry of Moses and Elijah would begin.
Then, all of that will be, for the people of God, a blessing for the people of God.
For the elect: blessing; for the world: judgment, you see?
So, who is that, who is that, then, that is going to come at the end, when there are only three and a half years left for the elect to be here?
Well, who will come in the last three and a half years of the elect’s stay here, will be who? It will be God. And God, the Word, will put Himself inside a veil of flesh; and then He will perform, manifest, the ministry of Moses and Elijah.
Therefore, then, three and a half glorious years will come, in which God will be speaking, in which we will be hearing the Thunders, which is the Voice of God; we will be hearing the Voice of God in His fullness, we will be hearing publicly the mystery of the Seventh Seal, which is the Coming of the Lord; the Coming of the Lord in Elijah first, and then in Moses being publicly made known. See?
Then, we will not enter into fanaticism. Just as we had to act when God was in Elijah, we have to act when God is in Moses: without fanaticism; because fanaticism spoils the blessing that God has for the person, you see?
So, whenever people enter into fanaticism, then they confuse humanity with Divinity, and they believe that the human part is God; and then they believe that Elijah as a man, well, is God; and he is not God; but the divine part that is in him, is the one who is God. And so it will also be when Moses appears.
He as a man will be one of the elect, one of our beloved brethren, one of those who belong to the chosen group.
THE KING RIDING ON A DONKEY

Therefore, for this end time there is a very great blessing.
Look, after Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem in chapter 23, look at what He says… chapter 23, verses 37 to 39, it says [Matthew]:
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
It will be repeated. He had already entered Jerusalem, His triumphal entry. And now He is saying that they will not see Him until they say: “Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord.” That corresponds to the Second Coming of Christ.
That is why in Revelation it tells us so much about the Lion, the Mighty Angel crying out as when a lion roars, and seven thunders uttering their voices; the Voice of Christ as Lion, as King and as Judge.
And now, this is linked to the Second Coming of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords; for which, Christ comes with the Title Deed, the Lamb’s Book of Life, where the names of all believers in Him are written, all who have received Him as Savior; He comes to reclaim all that He has redeemed with His precious Blood.
Therefore, the divine cycle in which Jesus Christ was on Earth in His ministry of three and a half years, will be repeating in this end time; and therefore, all those things that happened back then will be repeated; but already He as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, as Son of David, heir to the Throne of David.
THE CORONATION OF THE MINISTRY, THE MESSENGER AND THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

And what seemed to be a disgrace for Jesus Christ, what seemed to be later, when they preached it later, seemed to be a heresy, was the divine truth; it was the Message of peace for the reconciliation of the human being with God, by obtaining the knowledge of what was the appearance of this young Jew, of this young man there in the midst of the Hebrew people, who was born through a virgin named Mary and who at 33 years of age died crucified.
And He died crucified in the sight of most of the Jewish religion of his time and other religions, like the Romans; He died as a sinner, He died as a not so good person. That is why they killed Him, tried Him and crucified Him; because in human sight He was a problem for the Romans and for the Jews as well.
He would come to be, Jesus and His disciples, like a leftist group, like a revolution, a revolutionary, who could at any moment give a coup d’état to one of the parties: either to the Jews or to the Romans; because the Jews were waiting for the Messiah and they expected Him to be a warrior, who would destroy the Romans and establish the Kingdom of the Messiah.
That was the expectation of many of the Jews and many religious leaders; and the Zealots were warriors, they were among the people who expected something like that. And that is why when He performed the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, then there was a group that said: “Let’s take Him and proclaim Him King, we will crown Him.” And He, knowing that, went to pray, He separated Himself from all of them and went to pray, and prevented them from doing that.
They were always trying to crown Him, to proclaim Him, and sometimes Jesus told them: “You don’t say that I am the Christ, don’t say that.” That was something for His disciples to know; very few times did Jesus say it publicly. Even when He exited or came down from Mount Transfiguration, He said: “Don’t make this vision known to anyone until I die, until after my death.”
There are things that must be kept in reserve so that the enemy doesn’t interrupt the Divine Plan.
Therefore, He sometimes also, when He knew that they wanted to take Him prisoner to kill Him, sometimes He avoided going to those places or appearing publicly. He appeared to the disciples, He was with the disciples and some people, but not publicly giving a public conference, to avoid problems before the time.
Not because He was afraid, but to avoid problems, for Him, for His disciples and for the Divine Program; because He couldn’t die until the time appointed by God arrived.
It was at that time appointed by God that He would die as the Sacrifice of Atonement for sins. If He died before, Christ’s death wouldn’t be effective; and that is why He was careful; it had to be at the time appointed by God to be the Sacrifice of Atonement for the sin of the human being.
That is why also this vision that was shown to the Reverend William Branham, and what is related to the Third Pull, it was forbidden to the Reverend William Branham to speak, to make known the details; to avoid imitations from arising; as imitations arose when he made known the first pull: the sign in the hand; and then he made known another stage, the second pull: of discernment. And what happened? Well, people appeared, preachers, with signs as well, and others discerning; because the devil is an imitator.
Now, just as the nations have taken care with their coins, which have been imitated on different occasions, they have placed security bars, different things, so that they can’t imitate them…; and if they imitate something, that it doesn’t come out exactly, that it has some flaw and can be identified by some machines and some coin experts.
And do you believe that God hasn’t also placed security in His promises, in His prophecies that must be fulfilled? Of course He has; so that whoever tries to imitate, will fail in something.
Reverend William Branham tried, not to imitate, but to make that promise come true, because he had the ministry of Elijah; and it corresponds to the ministry of Elijah to be working for the fulfillment of that Tent Vision, because he was in that Tent Vision, he went to that Tent; and if Elijah was there, Elijah will be there too.
And remember that what God is going to do later on is reflected in the messengers. What God is going to do in a greater form, He typifies it, He reflects it, in the minor forms that are carried out in different messengers of ages; and then a dispensational messenger appears in which all the fullness of what God reflected in the previous messengers, He carries it out in a dispensational messenger.
(…) Perhaps Elisha didn’t even know that he was the successor of the prophet Elijah! And that happens many times. Some prophets, we find throughout biblical history that some didn’t even know they were prophets until God spoke to them; but they knew, they realized that there was something different about them, and that their experiences were spiritual experiences.
And now, Elisha goes with Elijah, and since he is the successor of Elijah according to the Divine Program, he has to be instructed, taught, by the prophet Elijah. What better teacher! He has to be taught by the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit was in Elijah.
So the Holy Spirit through Elijah is going to teach the prophet, Elisha, who is going to assume the ministry of prophet in Elijah’s place.
And then, in daily life, in the practice of Elijah’s ministry, he is going to see how that ministry works, how he does, how Elijah does; therefore, he is going to do in the same way as the prophet Elijah.
The proof is that Elijah resurrected a child, and Elisha also resurrected a child, and what else? And after he died, he raised a dead man.
(…)[Quotations]1 1068 – “138 It will not be in operation so perfectly now. Wait till that Council of Churches brings on that persecution, that’s when it will happen (that is, it is preceded by a situation of squeeze of the people, in the midst of which this Third Pull will be manifested). That’s the reason I come back among you, to pray for the sick. I have never had but one thing that He ever told me in my life that I know that hasn’t happened yet, that some sort of a building or a tent where there will be a little building setting and I’d have to go into that and pray for the sick. That hasn’t happened yet as far as I know. That’s the only thing that I know.”
And if it had not happened, and it never happened in the ministry of Reverend William Branham the fulfillment of the Vision, then it is for later on: for and under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah; because it is under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees that those signs and miracles will come; and therefore, that will fulfill the Tent Vision. It says [Quotations]:2
1208 – “197 Now, latter rain, a hundred and forty-four thousand Jews, no, that isn’t…that…they won’t…that’s—that’s when Elijah and Moses…There’s where the miracles take place.”
So even the ministries that are going to have function in that Third Pull where there will be great miracles are announced.
And when the Jews see that, they will say: “This is the one we are waiting for.” To tell you something in advance: that is going to be the link with the Jews. But we are not going to give many details so that no one tries to imitate all that Divine Program; but rather, to work on it. Working knowing that we are doing well, knowing that everything is well advanced, and that everything that God would do after what He did through Jesus Christ, God will do through His Church.
BELIEVING AND WORKING TO CONQUER WHAT HAS BEEN PROMISED

For the time of Moses, all the people worked, together with the messenger Moses; for the time of Solomon, all the people worked with Solomon for the materialization of the construction of the temple; for this end time, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which will ascend to that stage or Age of the Cornerstone, will work for the fulfillment of that vision, for it to become a reality, for that promise to materialize; and thus to conquer what God has promised, to conquer the divine promise relevant to the Last Day in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And as far as I have seen, that will be the last construction; except that they build auditoriums to gather the people; but a place where the presence of God will be and will be fully manifested, and where the Third Pull will be fulfilled, and where the Sword in the hand (that he received and that he would pass on to another person) the Sword in the hand, which is the creative Word, will be there; the presence of the Angel of the Covenant will be there; the Pillar of Fire will be there, which appeared to Moses and which guided him and the people through the wilderness; and that then entered into the most holy place and rested upon the most holy place, upon the ark of the covenant, on the mercy seat, in the midst of the two golden cherubim.
And the age that corresponds or is parallel to the most holy place is the Age of the Cornerstone in the spiritual Temple of Christ. That is why it is around there where the Second Coming of Christ will become a reality, and it will be in the midst of the two golden cherubim there, which in the Church will be the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of the Two golden Candlesticks, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, the ministries of the Two Anointed Ones of Zechariah, chapter 4, verse 1 to 14, and Revelation, chapter 11, verses 1 to 14.
THE EVENTS THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE LAST DAY
Dr. William Soto Santiago

But there will be people with prophetic vision, who will see in the prophecies of the Scripture and the prophecies given by Reverend William Branham, or by the Holy Spirit through Reverend William Branham and other prophets, that this is a prophetic event that is going to take place in the midst of Christianity at the Last Day.
This will also impact the Hebrew people, who have a promise of a blessing, a revival from God; they have a promise from God to send the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, at the Last Day.
Therefore, there will be a time when these prophecies will become a great event in the midst of the human race. And there you will find out which side you were on before that event is fully carried out.
Some will cry and say that they opposed it, and now they see it become a reality. Others will say: “I read it, I believed and faith was born in me; I believed, and I put myself arm in arm in that divine project; and now it is a reality.”
Blessed are those people who will have worked on this divine project.
