THE WHITE HORSE RIDER
(Ministers’ Meeting)

Will there be another revival? Will there be another age, another time? There is only one stage, and it is the stage that corresponds to the Golden Age of the Church, the Age of Adoption, the Age of the Cornerstone; there is no other place where that revival can take place.
Let’s see… Remember that all that has to take place in the spiritual Temple of Christ, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It says:1
1485 – “[6] And just remember, (from the Occident, that is) from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride this trail again. That’s right. Soon as we get ready. It’s a promise, you see.”
If it is a promise, that will be fulfilled. “There will be another trail,” Reverend William Branham says in some places.
And now, that will be the Third Pull; the Third Pull is where that promise will be fulfilled. And it will be in the West, the Occident, American continent. And it has to be in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the spiritual Temple of Christ.
And where was the great manifestation in the temple there among the Hebrews? In the time of Moses, it was in the most holy place, upon the mercy seat, in the midst of the two golden cherubim, where the presence of God was.
In the time of King Solomon, it was also in the most holy place, in the midst of the two golden cherubim, and also where the two cherubim of olive wood overlaid with gold were, giant, covering the ark of the covenant, and together covering the two golden cherubim.
(…) What are you doing? I am working for that project, I am working for everything that has to do with the Tent Vision, that has to do with the Third Pull, that has to do with the white horse Rider of Revelation 19, that has to do with the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the living, the rapture of the Church, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. See? Those are the Father’s businesses for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in this end time, to be working on those businesses.
And whoever is not working, and criticizes those who are working, is asking for a big problem with God; he will find himself like Dathan and Korah and Abiram, all of them, trying to interrupt the Program that God had for that time. Therefore, the right thing to do is to be working in God’s Program for the time in which one is living.
(…) When brother Branham wanted to make that connection with North America and the Jews, he was forbidden: he had the ministry of Elijah for the fourth occasion; and it is for the fifth occasion.
Therefore, the fulfillment of the Tent Vision will be linked to the ministry of Elijah, the ministry of Moses and the ministry of Jesus.
It will be the Holy Spirit coming in the Last Day, in the power of the Word promised for the Last Day, riding in the Last Day in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and also with what you have already seen, you have been seeing, I believe we have a clear picture of the reason to work in the Work of the Lord at this time, and the reason we are expecting to see a Great Tent Cathedral arise in the midst of the Church of the Lord.
It is already prophesied!
(…) Therefore, we are at the right time for the Tent Vision to emerge as a reality in some country. And that will be a great sign, a greater sign than Noah’s ark. Why? Because one has to see with rapturing faith the manifestation of the Angel of the Covenant in the fulfillment of the Vision of The Great Tent Cathedral, the manifestation of the Pillar of Fire, the manifestation of the Angel that accompanied the Reverend William Branham; and many other things that are promised to be fulfilled when The Great Tent Cathedral (which Reverend William Branham saw) becomes a reality in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the West.
What was promised will be fulfilled in the West, and there will be the connection with the East; because what is closer to the East, is what? The West.
If you are in the West and you look to the East and you look to the Pacific, you are looking to the East, you are looking to China, Japan, Russia, all those places, even if you don’t see them; but what is on the other side of the Pacific Eea, the Pacific Ocean, is the East.
So we already know that something great is moving in the Divine Program, and that we are blessed to have a part in the works of the Last Day in the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior.
Where will the Light shine? Reverend William Branham says it is in the West. It already shone two thousand years ago in the East, now it is in the West; and from there it is that the Light goes later to the East, and then they will see the Light.
THE SPIRIT OF ELIJAH WALKING THE MINISTERIAL PATH FOR THE FIFTH TIME

There we have what the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ saw, that is what will happen in this end time; and that will be under the ministry of Elijah, in the fifth manifestation of the ministry of Elijah.
Everything is prepared in the Divine Program; and just as Elisha came with a double portion, the fifth Elijah will appear, will come, with a double portion; just as Elisha came with a double portion.
Therefore, Israel is waiting for the coming of Elijah, and soon that promise of Malachi, chapter 4, will be fulfilled, where it says [verse 5]: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” He says: “Lest I come and smite the earth with destruction.” Chapter 4 of Malachi.
And that will bring an awakening, a great revival, in the midst of the Jews, in the midst of the Hebrews.
That blessing will come out from the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, from there will come out the spirit of Elijah ministering for the fifth time; because when we saw it the last time it was for the fourth time in the midst of Christianity.
Therefore, we will have in the midst of Christianity again the ministry of Elijah for the fifth time, with a double portion, traveling the ministerial path for the fifth time; and that will fulfill what the Reverend William Branham said: “From the West will come a Rider on a white horse; we will travel this path once again.”
In other words, Elijah will travel this ministerial path once again, in other words, for the fifth time; and by saying “we will travel,” then the ministry of Elijah is accompanied by the ministry of Moses; and that will fulfill Revelation 11 also: The Two Olive Trees that stand before the presence of God; and it will fulfill Zechariah, chapter 4, verses 1 to 14: the two olive trees, which are the Two Anointed Ones that stand before the presence of God.
This is good news for Christianity and for Judaism. Elijah will walk the ministerial path again, for the fifth time; and the people will be prepared to receive all the blessings and the fulfillment of all the divine promises pertaining to this end time.
I believe that this is enough, so as not to open up too much this mystery that is so great for Christianity and for Judaism.
The time will come when the Seventh Seal will be opened to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and this will give them the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
You will be hearing the Voice of the Seventh Seal; and the Seventh Seal is Christ in His Coming to His Church; and therefore, you will be hearing the Voice of the Mighty Angel that descends from Heaven, speaking as when a lion roars and seven thunders uttering their voices.
(…) While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. [Matthew 17:5]
That is the Cloud: The presence of God, the Pillar of Fire present there, where He is showing the order of His Second Coming.
It is in that Cloud that the Lord, the Son of Man will come; therefore, He will be wrapped in the Cloud, the Pillar of Fire, which appears here in the Scripture on Mount Transfiguration, in Matthew, chapter 17, verses 1 to 5.
We have seen that that is a Cloud of glory. All that is promised for this end time.
Therefore, let us be prepared; because from one moment to another God will open the mystery of the Seventh Seal and give us the blessing of the fulfillment of all His promises of blessings for the believers in Him; and then we will all see the spirit of Elijah walking the ministerial path for the fifth time; and then the Hebrew people will also see it.
And we have the promise that we are going to see His Second Coming, the Second Coming of Christ. To receive Him is that God sent the prophet Elijah, the ministry of Elijah in the Reverend William Branham; for the Second Coming of Christ, to prepare him for the Second Coming of Christ.
I will see Him and will receive Him at the time of the fulfillment of His promise. And who else? Each one of you as well.
That is why we are preparing ourselves spiritually, to be prepared for that important moment in the history of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and His people.
THE REVIVAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Dr. William Soto Santiago

Cayey, Puerto Rico
Now, we already know that a revival is coming for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, just as there were in past times; and we don’t want to miss the blessing of the final revival for the Church among the gentiles.
We already know that it requires the Seven Thunders speaking, that is, the Voice of Christ speaking as when a lion roars; it takes those Seven Thunders to receive the faith to be transformed and raptured.
And therefore, we need to know more about all that Divine Program that He has to carry out with His Church.
On one occasion Reverend William Branham wondered if there would be another awakening, and then he said, “From the West will come a rider on a white horse; we will travel this path once again.” And this is the ministry of Elijah in Reverend William Branham, speaking that there will be another spiritual awakening, and that it will be brought by a Rider on a white horse. And he says, “From the West shall come a rider on a white horse; we will travel this path once more.”
Elijah’s ministry traveled the ministerial path in Elijah the Tishbite; and this was the Holy Spirit operating that ministry. It traveled the ministerial path again, for the second time, in Elisha; then it traveled the prophetic ministerial path, for the third time, in John the Baptist; then it traveled the ministerial path again, for the fourth time, in the Reverend William Branham. We can see that it is always in the midst of the people who have the Covenant in effect at that time.
The Holy Spirit traveled in Reverend William Branham the ministry of Elijah for the fourth time; and just as John the Baptist was the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, Reverend William Branham was the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ. That is why we find him saying, “From the West shall come a Rider on a white horse.”
That is the journey of Christ, of the Holy Spirit, for the Last Day, in the midst of His Church; where He will be as a Lion of the tribe of Judah at the end, crying as when a lion roars and seven thunders uttering their voices. And the believers listening and thus receiving the revelation, the faith, to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
In other words, Christ the Mighty Angel, the Holy Spirit, will be opening the Seventh Seal to the believers in Christ at the Last Day.
Let’s see what Reverend William Branham tells us, being the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ. If we want to know about the Second Coming of Christ, then we have to study his messages, because they give us light about the promise of the Second Coming of Christ for His Church; and no one wants to miss the blessing that is promised for all believers in Christ.
We have in the messages of the Reverend William Branham, in the book of The Seals, it says… page 466 and 467 [page 556 in Eng.], he says:
255 Seven, God’s perfect number. Seven, [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit seven times—Ed.] just right down the row. Seven Thunders uttered straight together, like they were spelling out something. Notice, at that time, John started to write It. He said, “Don’t write It.”
256 Jesus never spoke of It. John couldn’t write It. Angels know nothing about It. What is It? It’s the thing that, Jesus said, “Even the Angels of Heaven didn’t know” nothing about It. See? See? He didn’t know It, Himself. Said, “Only God” would know It.
And further down says:
260 But this is one thing he cannot impersonate. There’ll be no mimics to this, see, ’cause he don’t know It (the enemy does not know it). There’s no way for him to know It. It’s the Third Pull. He just knows nothing about It. See? He doesn’t understand It.
261 But there’s a secret lays beneath That! [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit once—Ed.] Glory to God in the Highest! I can never think the same, the rest of my life, when I seen. Now, I don’t know what…I know the next step there, but I don’t know what, how to interpret that. It won’t be long. I’ve got wrote down here, when it happened, if you can see here,
Here… And further down he says, on page 471 [page 561 in Eng.]:
299 And just then He picked me up. He took me up, and sit me way up high, to where a meeting was going on. Looked like a tent or a cathedral, of some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box, like, little place over in the side. And I seen that Light was talking to somebody, above me, that Light that you see there on the picture. It whirled away from me, like that, and went over that tent. And said, “I’ll meet you there.” And said, “This will be the Third Pull, and you won’t tell It to nobody.”
And now see, we had seen that the Third Pull was tied to the Seventh Seal, it is tied to the faith to be transformed and raptured, and it is tied to the revival of the Last Day, of the end time.
In other words, it all comes together and everything will lead to a Great Tent Cathedral; it is as simple as that.
[299] And in Sabino Canyon, He said, “This is the Third Pull.”
300 And there’s three great things that goes with It. And one unfolded today, or, yesterday; the other one unfolded today; and there’s one thing that I cannot interpret, because it’s in an unknown language. But I stand right there and looked right straight at It. And this is the Third Pull coming up. [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit three times—Ed.] And the Holy Spirit of God… Oh, my!
That’s the reason all Heaven was silent.
Notice, the Third Pull in its manifestation produces the silence in Heaven. The Third Pull and in the Third Pull the Church of the Lord receives the anointing and the faith to be transformed and raptured.
In the Third Pull there is a very great spiritual awakening; that spiritual awakening, that revival of the Last Day is produced by the Third Pull in its manifestation, where the Voice of Christ crying out, speaking consecutively, according to Revelation 10, speaking to His Church, will produce, will give the faith, to be transformed and raptured in the Last Day.
That Last Day revival will begin under that Third Pull and will extend to many nations. It is a revival so great that it will be the greatest revival Christianity has ever had.
The greatest spiritual awakening of Christianity is promised for this end time, for the Last Day, which is the last millennium; 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).
