Notice where Christ makes that change of ministry:
it’s in the Messenger that He will have at the Last Day; and
that is why, through that Messenger, Christ will continue His
Work, His Work as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
THE WORK OF THE LAMB AND THE WORK OF THE LION

For Jesus had been baptized by John, therefore, He
was one of John’s disciples; but the Coming of the Messiah
was fulfilled in one of the disciples of the forerunner.
Remember that well: in one of the disciples, the
followers of the forerunner John the Baptist, in one of them,
the Coming of the Messiah as the Lamb of God was fulfilled.
Keep that in mind, because for the end time we have the
promise of the Coming of the Lord as the Lion of the tribe of
Judah; and we also have the promise of the coming of Elijah
as the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.

Therefore, it is important… just as they had to watch
the followers, the disciples of John the Baptist, of the
forerunner of the First Coming of Christ, because the Coming
of Christ, the First Coming of Christ, as the Lamb of God,
would be fulfilled in one of them: also watch the disciples of
the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.
THE WORK OF THE LAMB AND THE WORK OF THE LION

And now, when the sun comes up, the moon is not
needed any more (to give light), because the light of the moon
is not a perfect light: it only reflects the sun during the night;
but then during the day, even if we can see the moon, it is not
lighting up anything.

They also spoke to Zacharias the Priest,
telling him about the forerunner who would come in the First
Coming of Christ, who would be the son of Zacharias the
Priest and his wife Elisabeth, and who would come in the
spirit and power of Elijah and turn the hearts of the fathers to
the children, meaning, to the faith of the Christian Church; in
other words, they would turn the hearts of the fathers (who
were under the Law), they would turn them to the doctrine of
Christianity, to the Christian faith.

And now, for the Last Day, God has promised the
coming of the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.
And for those who will receive him, he is Rev. William
Branham, who came, brought his Message, prepared the
people for the Coming of the Lord, and left already. But his
Message remains, and God told him that his Message would
introduce the Second Coming of Christ;10 because the
Message and the messenger are the same.
THE ONE WHO BLESSES AND THE ONE WHO RECEIVES THE BLESSING

And now, the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the
Angel of the Lord, where God is manifested and where His
Name is, now creates Himself a Body of flesh in Mary’s
womb and is born in Bethlehem of Judea. And after He grew
up, and John the Baptist began to preach and prepare the
people for the Coming—the First Coming of Christ, Jesus
came to him and asked John to baptize Him; so He became
one of the disciples of John the Baptist, one of the disciples of
the forerunner. One of the disciples of the forerunner was the
fulfillment of the Messianic promise.THE ONE WHO BLESSES AND THE ONE WHO... 13
Now, keep that in your minds and in your hearts: one
of the disciples, one of the believers in the forerunner, was the
One forerun. It couldn’t be any other way.
We can’t have one, the forerunner, appearing and
preaching one thing, and then have the One forerun appearing
somewhere else and preaching another thing; it must be in
harmony. First, the One forerun must be a believer in the
forerunner, and then the Spirit of God, which is in the
forerunner, manifests Itself in all Its fullness in the One
forerun.
Now, notice how the forerunner said that after him
would come another Person, a Man, who would baptize them
with the Holy Spirit and with fire; and he said that He was
greater than him;4 because the One forerun is always greater
than the forerunner.
The forerunner is a messenger, a prophet of an age, of
the last age that pertains to the Hebrew Church, who was
John the Baptist; he was the prophet-messenger of the seventh
age of the Hebrew Church under the Law. and then the One
forerun is the Prophet-Messenger of the Age of the
Cornerstone of that time; because He Himself is that
Cornerstone, the Stone that the builders rejected;5 therefore,
His age has to be the Age of the Cornerstone.
THE ONE WHO BLESSES AND THE ONE WHO RECEIVES THE BLESSING

On pages 136 to 137 [The Revelation Of
The Seven Seals, paragraphs 166-171], it says:
“…But, think now, he wrote This.
But when he started to write those other, Seven
Thunders, He said, ‘Don’t write It.’ He had been commissioned
to write everything he seen. But when these Seven Thunders,
over in Revelation 10, uttered, He said, ‘Don’t write Them, at28 DR. WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO
all.’ They are mysteries. We don’t know what they are yet. But,
my opinion, they’ll be revealed right away. And when it do, it’ll
give faith for that rapturing grace, for that Church to move out.
See?”
Notice why it is so important to know what the Thunders
uttered, to know the mystery that was uttered by the Thunders.
And that is the reason for hearing the Voice of Christ, the
Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, who cries as
when a lion roars and Seven Thunders utter their Voices.
Only in His Coming can we hear that Voice crying and the
Seven Thunders uttering their Voices, and making known to us
the mystery contained in those Thunders, and thus, revealing to
us the mystery contained in the Seventh Seal; because this is
what will, “give faith for that rapturing grace, for that Church
to move out.”
“We’ve just moved through everything that we know of,
through all the dispensations. We’ve watched everything. We
seen the mysteries of God. We seen the appearing of the—of the
great gathering together of the Bride in the last days. But, yet,
there is something in There that we just can’t lighten ourself
with. There is something other.
But I imagine, when them mysteries begins to come
forth, God said, ‘Hold It back now. Wait a minute. I’ll reveal It
in that day. Don’t write It, at all, John, ’cause they’ll stagger
over It.’” (It’s something that those of past ages would stagger
or stumble over). “‘Just—just let it go, see. But I’ll reveal It in
that day when it has need to be done.’
They never uttered for nothing. Remember, like the little
drop of ink, everything is for a purpose. Everything is for a
cause. But, notice, the Creator uttered. And he—he heard this
Voice, and he went to see.
But now the Lamb is showing John, in the symbol of…of
a—of a church scripture, like, for the church to know. What to
write, He just show him. Said, ‘Now, don’t—don’t tell this, just
what it is. Don’t go down, John, and say, “Now, this is just
what this is, of what’s under this Seventh Seal.” Don’t, don’t goTHE BLESSING OF CALLING UPON THE NAME OF GOD 29
down and tell that. For, if I tell John that, then all down through
the age, the whole plan will be broke. It’s a secret.’ See? He just
wants… His Coming! He said, now, ‘And nobody is going to
know when I’m coming. I’m just coming.’ See? See? THE BLESSING OF CALLING UPON THE NAME OF GOD
