THE VISION OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE LAST DAY
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Sunday, July 14, 1996
Cayey, Puerto Rico
Now, the revelation of Joseph to his brothers in one of the comings of his brothers to Egypt, when he appeared or when they brought Benjamin, the youngest brother of the children of Israel, and brother on Joseph’s father’s and mother’s side, there was where Joseph couldn’t stand it any longer (and tried, but couldn’t), and at the end he revealed himself to them, embracing his brother Benjamin, weeping over him, and saying: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.”
We find that that is type and figure of what is to happen in the Last Day. That is type and figure of the revelation of Jesus Christ as King, to make Himself known to the Hebrew people, to 144,000 Hebrews, which are represented in Benjamin, Joseph’s brother by father and mother.
Now, we can see that what Joseph’s brothers did, who wept and were also very frightened, very fearful, thinking that Joseph’s wrath would be kindled against them; that will be what will be happening in the Last Day, where Jesus Christ will be revealed to the Hebrew people; and 144,000 Hebrews, which are the Benjamins of God, 12,000 of each tribe, will receive Him, and will receive the blessing of Jesus Christ, the blessing of our Joseph; for Jesus Christ, our Joseph, will be revealed in the Last Day, as it is promised in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 7, where it says:
“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.”
The twelve tribes of the children of Israel will be mourning over Him, as was done on the Day of Atonement every year; and whosoever wouldn’t mourn on that day would be cut off from the people. That will be fulfilled on the Last Day on a larger scale with the revelation of Jesus Christ to the Hebrew people.
BEING BLESSED WITH THE FULFILLMENT OF THE HALF HOUR OF SILENCE IN HEAVEN

So seeing that our citizenship is of Heaven, then let us lift up our heads to Heaven because our redemption is near; that is, our transformation is near; and the resurrection of the dead in Christ is near also.
Our redemption is near, our adoption, which will be our transformation, where we will obtain the eternal and glorified and young body, like the glorified body of Christ our Savior, which is as young as when He ascended to Heaven; and we will see Him; when we have the glorified body then we will see Him.
Therefore, for this end time the promise is that we will be blessed with the fulfillment of the half hour of silence in Heaven, we will be blessed with all the mystery that causes silence in Heaven for about half an hour.
That silence in Heaven hasn’t yet occurred, but it is going to occur. First the content of the Seventh Seal has to be fulfilled, and then it is opened in Heaven and the history of the Seventh Seal is made known, as it happens with the other Seals; and then the history is made known in Heaven to the angels and to all the believers in Christ who are in Heaven (because they departed from Earth, died, and are in Paradise, in the sixth dimension), and to all the Old Testament saints who resurrected with Christ, who are in Heaven also, the news.
With the opening of the Seventh Seal in Heaven, it causes a total silence, because nobody knew, nobody knew that mystery; and then it is opened in Heaven making known what that Seventh Seal was, what the Coming of the Lord was, the Coming of the Son of Man.
We all need the blessings that are promised to be given in the fulfillment of what He has promised for this end time.
I need those blessings. And who else? Each of you also, and you who are in other nations.
We have reached the most glorious time of the Divine Program, we have reached the Golden Age of the Kingdom of God, we have reached the Golden Age of Christianity; we have reached the time when from one moment to another the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will be completed, and Christ will change from High Priest to King, from Lamb to Lion, and a new stage in the Divine Program will begin, for the reclamation of all that He has redeemed with His precious Blood.
He will reclaim all those whom He with His Blood has cleansed from all sin and restore them to life, but not to temporary physical life, but to eternal life; and He will reclaim the Kingdom of David, which is the Kingdom of God on Earth; for He is the heir to the Throne of David and Kingdom of David, because He is the Son of David; and also, since He is the Son of Man, He is the heir to the Kingdom of the entire planet Earth; and He is also, as Son of God, the heir to the Heavens and to the Earth. Each of these titles of son: Son of Man, Son of David, Son of God, and so on, has an inheritance.
So, aware of these things and that this Seventh Seal contains the mystery of the Coming of the Lord for the Last Day —a mystery which the angels didn’t know and which will be opened in this end time and which will bring great blessings to all the children of God— then we lift up our heads to Heaven because our redemption is near.
THE CULMINATION OF THE SEVENTH SEAL

(Fifth activity)
Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico
Let us read Matthew, chapter 24, so that we have a clear picture of what was happening there on February 28, 1963.
By that time, I was at one of the mountains of Puerto Rico, of the city of Lares, in a spiritual retreat. It says… By that time I was about 22 years old, a young man, but the call of God and the responsibility of God for the ministry, God had already placed it upon my shoulders and I had to respond to that call; and I had seen that Moses, Elijah and Jesus separated themselves, in a retreat, for many days, and thus, that is how the Spirit of God took me to a spiritual retreat.
Now, the Scripture says in chapter 24, verse 30 to 31 of Matthew:
“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.”
This is fulfilled here on February 28, 1963. There, the Son of Man, the Mighty Angel who descends from Heaven, Jesus Christ the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord, was seen coming in the clouds of heaven; clouds not formed by humidity, rather, clouds formed by angels of God, they are clouds of glory in the clouds where He appeared there.
THE VISION OF REVELATION UNDER THE DISPENSATION OF THE KINGDOM

(Second activity)
Cayey, Puerto Rico
Remember that the vision of Revelation is and is in symbols; but those symbols are being fulfilled each in due time. For the end of time, the vision of Revelation contains a number of prophecies placed in symbolic form; but these prophecies would be carried out, would be fulfilled, at the end of the world, and would then become the history of the Dispensation of the Kingdom at its beginning.
So we are part of the Dispensation of the Kingdom in its beginning, and then in the whole Dispensation of the Kingdom, and then in all eternity.
So we have reached the Divine Program, the Dispensation of the Kingdom, to continue in that Divine Program in the fulfillment of the vision of Revelation, in the part that contains the blessings of God, in the part that contains the names of the elect.
THE ANGELIC VISITATION
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Friday, February 28, 1992
San Jose de los Campos, Brazil
If there, in the constellation of angels, all were present, each angel represents the people that God has given him in his age; therefore, there, in that angelic appearance or manifestation of those eight angels, the children of God of the seven ages of the gentile Church and those of the end of time are represented.
Those of the end of time are represented in that Angel who was very different from the others to the angel messenger of the seventh age of the gentile Church.
And then also all groups and all the other angels also have their representation in that Angel that was very outstanding to our brother Branham; because all the angels and all the elect of God are represented in the Seventh Seal.
(…) The angelic visitation in heaven, soon will become on Earth the visitation of the seven angels of the seven ages of the gentile Church, to meet with this Angel that was very outstanding to our brother Branham.
So let’s be ready for that moment; because there will be a meeting of these eight angels here on Earth very soon. And this will be for a very great blessing for all the children of God.
So we have had tonight a review of this angelic visitation of 1963, on February 28, to our beloved brother Branham. Since he was the messenger that was operating in his ministry at that time, he was the person that had to receive the visitation of those seven angels.
THE DECLARATION OF THE THINGS THAT MUST HAPPEN
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Friday, October 1, 1993
Cayey, Puerto Rico
Understanding those apocalyptic symbols makes a person understand the things that must happen. If he understands the apocalyptic symbols of the things that had to happen during the Dispensation of Grace, then he understands the things that happened in the Dispensation of Grace.
And then, the things that must happen after the end of the Dispensation of Grace, after the end of the gentile Church ages, where we enter the Dispensation of the Kingdom…; of which God, through His Angel, to John, made known these things in symbolic form; but to understand the content, the meaning of those symbols of the things that must happen is to understand the things that must come to pass at the end of the world, where the Dispensation of the Kingdom begins, and where the Lord Jesus Christ calls and gathers His elect through the ministry of His Angels, which is the ministry of the Two Olive Trees, the ministry of Moses and Elijah, in the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
