JESUS CHRIST
PREACHING TO THE
SPIRITS IN PRISON
Rev. William Soto Santiago, Ph.D.

Cayey, Puerto Rico
Very good afternoon, ministers, brothers and sisters also present, and all ministers and brothers and sisters through the Amazonas satellite or internet in different nations; may the blessings of Christ the Angel of the Covenant be upon everyone of you and upon me, too.
Yesterday were fulfilled one hundred and three years of Rev. William Branham birthday in North America, and if he had not died, he would be having one hundred and three years old. But he is seen us from there, he looks from there, and sees all the believers in Christ and knows how are the things in the Christianity, and above all, in the midst of all of them that have believed in his message as forerunner of the Second coming of Christ.
As they also informed me, the day that he was born it was Passover in the Jewish calendar, it was the 15th day of Nissan, and it was Passover Day; and he died on December 24, it also was a feast day in the Christianity. But we will leave that alone for now, it was only to remember that there was a forerunner messenger of the Second Coming of Christ, the greatest one of all the messengers of the Church of the Lord since Peter’s times ‘til the time of the Rev. William Branham, who came with the spirit and power of Elijah forerunning the Second Coming of Christ, and that is parallel to John the Baptist who came forerunning the First Coming of Christ.
John the Baptist did not seem to be so great, he didn’t do any miracle, but Jesus said: “It is…of them born of women, there was no one greater than him,” because he was the forerunner of the First Coming of Christ. So it is with the Rev. William Branham, because everything is parallel; everything concerning to the Second Coming of Christ and to the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, it is parallel to that which was the first Coming of Christ and the forerunner which was sent before Him preparing the way.
For this occasion we read in Matthew, chapter 27 (tomorrow, chapter 28, today chapter 27), verses 57- 66, that says:
“When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:
He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.”
This is our theme: “JESUS CHRIST PREACHING TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON.”
Some people think that after the person or the physical body dies, that life ends for the person, it is because they ignore that the human being is soul, spirit and body, and what the person really is, it’s a living soul. The spirit of the person is a body of another dimension, and the physical body is a body, an earthly house, of this earthly dimension; and as the person dies, that which died was the physical body, the earthly house, and continues living in the spiritual body which it is the person’s spirit, it is a body like unto the physical body which the person has.
In the midst of Christianity it is also known that Christians have an angel, that angel is that angelical or spiritual body that the believers in Christ, the Christians have, and as they die, they continue living in that angelical body at Paradise, which is the sixth dimension, the dimension of the Angels of God.
And for that reason it is that also when Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and so forth died, the Scripture says that they were reunited with their people, they died and were reunited with their people; but it seems to be a contradiction, because when they died, before their death they were with their people, but they are reunited with their people, and when they die they are separated from their people, but they become united with their people, with those that already died in their time and in past ages, their kindred; they are reunited with their people in another dimension, in Paradise, which we also know as Heaven, they go to Heaven.
Before the death the of Christ they used to go to the place called Abraham’s Bosom, of which Christ speaking in that parable of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar, it says that the rich man died and went to the place that he wanted not to go, in other words, to hell. He knew about the things of God, but he dedicate his life on feasts, to a life that was not the right one, although he had knowledge of Scripture, and there at hell (Christ says) that he was athirst, and also in those days Lazarus the beggar also died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom, the Paradise of that time; because the believers in the time of Abraham of Isaac and of Jacob are carried by the angels of God, as they die, are carried to Paradise corresponding to the time and dispensation in which they are living.
Before the death of Christ Abraham’s bosom was under… it is another dimension, and let’s say that it was near the hotter part of the earth, the center of the Earth (let’s say), and the rich man did look towards the place where Abraham was, the father of faith, and sees Lazarus there, (there was a separation of an abyss), and says to Abraham; “Father Abraham…” so that he was a descendant of Abraham after the flesh, he recognized Abraham as the father of faith, this rich man was descendant of Abraham. He says unto him: “Send Lazarus with his finger dipped in water and to put in my tongue,” because it says that he was tormented there and was athirst.
And Abraham says to him that they which are there at Paradise or Abraham’s bosom could not pass to the other side, and they that were in the other side (in hell), could not pass to Abraham’s bosom; because where the person will go, it is already determined while he is alive here on Earth. The person chooses the place where he goes, while being here on Earth. There are persons that want to go Heaven, to Paradise, but they have not chosen Christ as Savior, and consequently, for that reason they can not go to Paradise.
And now, the rich man knowing that there was no remedy to his situation, then he remembered his brothers. He says to him: “Father Abraham, send Lazarus again to the Earth (in other words, to rise up), so that he may speak to my brothers and to tell them how dreadful this place is, so that they will seek for God so that they do not have to come to this place.” Abraham says to him: “If any person rises up from among the dead (in other words, Lazarus) and he goes to preach to them, they will not believe; they have Moses and the prophets.” In other words, they had to believe to Moses and to the prophets, to that which is written, to the Word of God. “Even if someone arises from among the dead, they will not believe.
And now, to where did Christ go when He died? To where did He go in and with His spiritual body, His angelical body? Because when the person dies his physical body has to go some place. The sinner goes to hell, and to make it sound better: he goes to the fifth dimension, to another dimension, where all the ones that haven’t sought God are living, and have not received Christ as Savior under the new Covenant, from the day of Pentecost ‘till now; to the same place wherein in ancient times they went to, let’s say, to the same place where the rich man went.
And to where did Christ go when He died? Did He go to Heaven or to hell? Let’s ask the apostle Peter through his 1st Letter of Peter, chapter 3:18 onwards, it says:
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
which sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,)
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
who is gone into heaven, and is on the right of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.” To what place did Jesus Christ went to, in Spirit at His death? Peter says that he went to preach to the imprisoned spirits which were disobedient in Noah’s time, all those persons which died in Noah’s time by reason of the flood, and the ones that had died before the flood and had not served God that were disobedient to the preaching of Noah, they died, and went in spirit to the fifth dimension, which is hell; and Jesus Christ went there to hell and preached to them.
And, why Jesus Christ had to go into hell? Because He being immortal, became mortal by reason that He took our sins; and by taking on Himself our sins He became sin for us, and as He took on Himself the sins of all the human beings, and above all of them that would receive Him as Savior, then He died as a sinner, with the sins, not His, but the sins of the human beings. And consequently He had to go to hell, where all of them that have been receiving Him as only and sufficient Savior were suppose to go.
It is important to understand these things that so we will know that there was an immortal person, with eternal Life, that became mortal by taking our sins (as He took our sins), notice, by taking our sins He was able to carry out the Work of Redemption, in order for us to have the opportunity to receive the eternal Life by receiving Him as only and sufficient Savior. Now, that was already prophesied in Isaiah, chapter 53:6, where it says:
“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
God charged in Jesus Christ the sin of all of us, and Peter says that he was made sin for us in order to go the place where the spirits of them which were disobedient in Noah’s time were, in other words, to the region of them which were lost, to the fifth dimension, which is called, hell.
That was His third stage of His ministry; which was to preach to the persons which could not be saved, therefore, He preached to them not Salvation, but it was a witness, He preached the for testimony, letting them know that Noah was their messenger, and they believed not Noah’s message.
And now, we have Jesus Christ after His death, going to hell, the fifth dimension, to the region of they that were lost, the place where all the ones that can not be saved are, because the time to hear the preaching to be saved, was already finished for them.
Christ took away from the devil the keys of hell and of death there in hell or fifth dimension, for that reason in Revelation, chapter 1:18, Christ says that He has the keys. Says chapter 1, verse 18 of Revelation (17 and 18):
“And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death”
He had given to Peter the keys of the kingdom of Heavens, but now we find that Christ took away from the devil the keys of hell and of Hades, there when He had to go hell and had to preach to the imprisoned souls and spirits which were there in prison. They will remain there imprisoned until they will be called for judgement, because there will be a general resurrection, the second resurrection for the final judgement.
And whereas Christ has the keys of Hades and of death, Christ will produce that resurrection; and whereas He has the keys of death and of Hades, Christ will resurrect the believers in Him which died. Lazarus resurrection is the type and figure of the resurrection of all the believers in Christ that will be carried out at the Last Day as Christ promised to the believers in Him when He was speaking in John chapter 6:39-40, and chapter 11:21-27, when He went to rise up Lazarus, speaking about this things with Martha told her about these things, and Martha says to Him: “I know that he will rise up in the Last Day.” Martha knew already that the resurrection for the believers in Christ is for the Last Day, which is the seventh millennium from Adam ‘til now or third millennium from Christ ‘til now; but we don’t know in which year of that millennium.
And now, Christ there in hell obtained the victory as He took away the keys from the devil, the keys of death and of Hades, then He passed on to Abraham’s Bosom in order to be some minutes with them, and then to rise them up, and Christ to be resurrected, and with Him all of them that were there in Abraham’s Bosom which were believers in the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, and were faithful unto God.
And what does this visit of Christ going to hell has to do, and what benefit has it brought for us? The benefit it brought to us was that He took our sins and remitted them to the devil, which is the originator of sin, because with the Blood of Christ the sin is disintegrated and returns to it’s origin, as an ink spot in any piece of cloth or in any cloth or some place, with a whitener, Clorox, or whatever, it disappears, and you don’t know to what place it went, it went back to what it was before being a spot of ink, to that which it was before, that was not seen, it went back to that which was before: to it’s origin; from where that spot or that ink came from, it returns there by means of the chemistry of the whitener.
And through the chemistry of the Blood of Christ sin is disintegrated and returns to the devil, it’s originator, and that is what Christ did by carrying, returning the sins of the human being to the devil. For that reason when John the Baptist saw Jesus he said: “Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.” Consequently He had to die in order to be able to do that work, and to take the sin away of the world.
And now, inasmuch as the First Coming of the Lord and everything that happened there, those three stages of Christ, and also of the forerunner, the stages for which He did pass, then they will be again repeated in an updated manner corresponding to this final time, because for this final time will be fulfilled that which is promised to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which it is the people of God under the new Covenant, as well as Israel has been the people of God under the covenant given by God to Israel in mount Sinai by means of Moses the prophet.
Let’s see what will be happening in this final time, page 113, paragraph 998, says [The Book of “Quotations in Spanish”] page 229 fourth paragraph (English Book):
“It is that with their names they were in that Book in order to be revealed (in other words, the Book of Revelation, chapter 5 sealed with the seven seals); the Lamb had revealed the Book. The Lamb had redeemed it, but it cannot appeared until every name should be revealed and that happened under the Sixth seal, before the Seventh Seal to be opened. Then it is that the Lamb comes for them which He had redeemed.”
“Notice well (let’s continue the next verse,999,
Spanish, fifth paragraph in English book, says): Note well: It should be the message of the Seventh Angel which would reveal the Seven Seals. We find that in the Revelation 10:7. And he saw this Angel coming down and standing in one foot upon the earth and the other upon the sea, that was Christ. (Notice Him, you’ll find him again in Revelation, with the rainbow over his head – look upon the Jasper and Sardius, and so forth.”
Then in the page 113 in the Spanish book, 279 English book, which is an abstract of the message:”Souls Imprisoned Today,” it says, at the middle… says the paragraph 1002; in the English book seventh paragraph says:
“The woman that lives in this condition of the world, while she is alive, she is already dead. If she rejects the mercy, she can cross the separating where there’s no place for her no more. Then, where’s she at with her painted eyes and cut hair? She’s across the line with no way to come back, and there’s got to be a ministry preached to her. But remember, at that time, it’s all over
(it’s finished). It’s done– just a haunting! There’ll be a ministry that will show great wonders, (Joel said so) but there’ll be no time for redemption. It’s all over. The Lamb’s done took His Book, and His redeemed is over.”
In other words, those that were already to enter in, and were to form part of the Church, those that were to receive Christ as Savior and God was to baptize them with Holy Ghost and Fire after being baptized, that number will already be completed, they will have already entered, all of them written in the Book of Life of the Lamb, with those persons the Mystical Body of Christ will be completed, it will be completed with the last elect, with the last that are written in the Book of Life of the Lamb, when they have already received Christ as only and sufficient Savior. Says on page 230 English book.
“As Jesus first preached and was rejected and then went and haunted those that were in there–preached to them that were in prison and could not repent–no time for salvation. That same ministry will have to repeat again. What if that could be the Third Pull?–to the eternal lost. What if it is then? I hope it’s not. What if it is? Think of it, just a minute now. What if it is? God forbid, I’ve got children. But it sure looks pretty close here.”
There must be a ministry which will show great signs. And in the Vision of the Tent God was shown to the Rev. William Branham that there will be preaching there, there will be a calling in order to receive Christ, people going to the front, there will also be prayer for those which are sick in the way that it was shown to him, and great wonders happening, and the Pillar of Fire going to a small room where the persons entered where there was prayer for those who were sick, and the Angel which accompanied the Rev. William Branham also entering to that place, and taking the Rev. William Branham, who was hanging on air, and of course, in the theophanic or angelical body
And what he saw and heard there, he says: ” I have to take it with me to the tomb.” In one occasion the Angel tells him: Do you recall the name which you was seeking for as you was in the Vision of the Tent, as you had the Vision?” So that, there is a Name there, and the greatest Name which can be there is God’s Name, Name of the City of our God, and new Name of the Lord. God is ready for something great. Let’s look in the Book of “quotations”in Spanish, page136 paragraph 1208, in the English book page 276, third paragraph, says… this is, in”Questions and Answers” They asked Him the question:
“Will the Bride before Jesus comes, will she have all power of Holy Ghost to perform miracles, raise dead, and so on as in the latter rain… or is this the latter rain for the 144,000 jews? Will all ministers have this, are we–or are we just waiting for the coming? (Now the Rev. William Branham answers). Now, latter rain, 144,000 Jews, no, that isn’t–that–they won’t–that’s–that’s when Elijah and Moses…there’s where the miracles take place. The things that people’s been looking for, the Pentecostals, for miracles, that’s where that’ll take place in that–under them. See, that’s Elijah and Moses…We’re just to wait on the Coming of the Lord.”
And in the Vision of the Great Tent-Cathedral, there’s where the great miracles and wonders will take place. It was said to the Rev. William Branham relating to the Great Tent-Cathedral that he saw, in the Book of “The Seals” says, (in the Spanish version) page 471, in the English book page 509, says:
“And just then he picked me up, and sit me way up high, to where a meeting was going on. Looked like a tent or cathedral, of some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box, like, little place over in the side.”
In other places where he narrates about the Vision of the Tent says that it was a little room, and compared with a Great Tent Cathedral, then, it was a little room that was seen; it says that it was about 12 feet wide by 20 feet long, that is something small inside of a huge Tent-Cathedral.
“And that Light that you see there on the picture was talking to somebody, above me. 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, notice how we find the Third Pull there. Keeps saying:
“And in Sabino Canyon, He said, “This is the Third Pull.”
And there’s three…”
This was when he had the sword in his hand, and was said to him, “It is the King’s Sword.” And the King’s Sword, what it is? It’s the Word. It says:
“And there’s three things that go with It. And one unfolded today…or yesterday; the other unfolded today, and there is one thing that I can not interpret, because it’s in an unknown language.”
It was not in English; that which he saw and heard was in another language. In other words, in that Third Pull in which will be a ministry that will preach and will do great wonders and will preach to the eternally lost, it is in another language, it is not in English.
And now, let’s see something else, so we can see that God is preparing Himself for something great promised by Him. In the Book of “Quotations,” page… remember, it will be the equivalent or parallel to the going of Jesus to hell, while He was buried; as soon as He died He went down to that place. Says in the Book of Quotations, page 119, paragraph 1057 of the Spanish book, page 241, third paragraph of the English book:
“The thing that we have looked forward to for so long, for these many years–4 or 5 years, or maybe longer… the Third Pull has now been vindicated, and I am sure you all know what it is. Now remember, there will never be any impersonation of that, because it can’t be. It can not be. Now it is in existence…”
In other words, the Third Pull was also in existence through him, the Spirit of God working through him, speaking, so much as the Word for healing, also to raise up the dead, whatever, and for the preaching, to speak, to preach about these Seals and about everything related to the content of these Seals or of this Book sealed with Seven Seals.
“…Now, it is now in existence and I am warned of this…that soon– right at this time now–it has just happened, so it could identify it’s presence among you. See? But it will not be used in a great way…”
In other words, although the Sword was in him, the creative Word, it could not be used in a great way.
“Until this council begins to tighten up. And when it does, when that does… The pentecostals and so forth can almost impersonate anything that can be done, but when that time comes, (when the squeeze comes down), then you will see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in the fullness of its power. Now I must continue in evangelism, just as I was commissioned first, I must continue on. Therefore you have the Word, and you know what to look for, how to stand.”
In other words, you must be watching when that Third Pull will emerge being manifested in it’s absolute power, and for that time it will be under a time of squeeze. Keeps saying:
“I am dropping back here, watching that spot and waiting for the time to use it. But it is going to be used…”
Keeps saying below: (‘…Here is to him who has wisdom,’) the third is properly identified (In other words, the Third Pull was identified, manifested in him, in the Rev. William Branham) we know where it is. So the third Pull is here. It is so sacred that I must not say much about it, as He told me in the beginning. He said, ‘This–say nothing of it.’ You remember that, years ago? It speaks for itself.”
In other words, that the things which will be happening, those things will be speaking about the Third Pull, because the things which God has promised to do on that Third Pull, where the power of God will be manifested in all It’s fulness, will be seen being fulfilled.
“I tried to explain the others and I made a mistake. This will be the thing that, to my opinion.(I don’t say the Lord tells me this). This will be the thing that will start the rapturing faith to the going away (
the Third Pull, notice, he thinks that It will start rapturing faith or faith to be transformed and raptured, to be taken away with the Lord). And I must lay quiet for just a little while (for a while). Now remember , (and you that are listening to this tape) you might see such a change in my ministry right away, dropping back–not going up; dropping back. We are right at the age now, and it can’t go any further. We have to wait here just a minute until this happens over here to catch up, then the time comes. But it is thoroughly identified… It is tightening; and then when that time comes, and the press comes to a place to where you’re pressed out, then watch, (what I am fixing to tell you in a few minutes) watch the Third Pull then! It will be absolutely to the total lost…”
We were speaking of the ones that were lost who were in hell, and now that will be repeated on Earth with those that are lost while living on Earth, because hell is upon the Earth.
“Watch the Third Pull then! It will be absolutely to the total lost, but it will be for the Bride and the Church.”
In other words, The whole world is going to be impacted by that manifestation of the power of God, for that manifestation of the Word, of the Sword in the hand, that is the Word for the Last Day. And the miracles will be for whom? whose will they be? for and under the ministry of Moses and Elijah, those ministries will be repeated at the Last Day, “…but it will be for the Church…” In other words, for all of Christianity, the foolish virgins, and for the Bride, for the elect that will be change and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
In other words that it will have an impact over the Church Bride which will be changed, it will impact the foolish virgins, and will impact the whole world; it will be God’s power in all It’s fulness Let’s see a little bit here what the Rev. William Branham said; if he is the forerunner, then he spoke about all these things which will happen. In the message: “Perfect Strength for Perfect Weakness,” it says:
“There would be thousands times thousands, like it was in the day of Noah, Lord, would be lost. Many of them would be lost. We see that already fulfilled, Father.
Come, Lord Jesus, catch away Your Church. And if it be Your will, Lord, just before that Church is raptured, may rise power. O God, fill these vessels. Raise them up, Lord. Shake this world once more. We know it’ll be past time; there’ll be no repentance; they’ll be too far for them then. But show Your power, Lord; fill those vessels and shake this world like it’s never been shook before. Take Your Church then. Leave the world in her chaos that she sets in, O God, they struggle.
Then we know the great Holy Spirit will come to the Jews then. When we seen the hundred and forty four thousand standing on Mount Sinai, standing with the Lamb, but the Bride was already in heaven. She’d already been took up, and the Lamb, had come back, Joseph to make Hisself known to His people.”
And let’s leave the rest alone, I believe that with that which we saw we could say: God is preparing Himself to manifest His power in all His fulness, God is preparing Himself so to fulfill His promise to His Church Bride, God is preparing Himself for something very great, which has already been prophesied.
And when we see the things that are happening in the Divine Program, we can say: “Something great is on the way.” We have read about the things which are promised, and the things that have been promised by God are the things that will be fulfilled. Something great is about to happen: and it is the Third Pull, which will be for the Church Bride which will be changed, and also for the foolish virgins which also are in the midst of Christianity, and for the entire world; the Church Bride (wise virgins), the Church represented in the foolish virgins, and the entire world will see God’s power manifested in all It’s fulness in this final time.
For that event is that God is preparing Himself, and I am also preparing myself, and whose else? And each one of you also have been preparing yourselves, and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is also preparing Herself, which is the One that knows the things which have been promised, and will be working in all the divine project corresponding to that great thing that God has promised to do in this final time. And of the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom, says Christ in Matthew, 24:14:
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come”
Therefore, let’s be prepared and working in every divine project corresponding to this final time, and waiting for that which was promised by God to be carried out. It is up to the Church to do the part corresponding to Her, and it is for Christ to do His part, therefore, we must be conscious of that which comes, and whatever is not understood at the moment, will be understood later on.
But remain believing that which God has promised for the believers in Him, and thus we will be preparing ourselves for that which is coming: which is something great from behalf of God; and then, the Church goes away from here, from the Earth, to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and the great tribulation begins, the three and a half years in which God will deal with the Hebrew people, and the divine judgment will fall upon the kingdom of the gentiles in the stage of the feet of iron and of miry clay.
I believe that with that, which was spoken, we have seen enough, and we have seen the parallel of that which happened when Christ died, and then was buried, and went there to hell or fifth dimension and preached to the imprisoned souls or spirits, and there He took away the keys of death, and of Hades. At this time, there will be a parallel, there will be a parallel in everything.
And since we mentioned the birth- day the Rev. William Branham had yesterday, he would had been one hundred and three years old in his physical body if he was alive, notice what he says concerning his age [The Book of Quotations], page119, paragraph 1058, Spanish book, page 242, second paragraph:
“I may be building a platform for somebody else to step on. I may be taken before that time…but I do believe that we are so close, that I would never die with old age. (If he was still alive he would be one hundred and three years old). Yet at 54, years old, I would never die with old age. Unless I am shot, killed, or something, or other, someway killed–just old age wouldn’t kill me, until He comes… (he is speaking of the one that he is preparing the way to), I may not do it, but this Message will introduce Jesus Christ to the world. ‘For as John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so is the Message to forerun the second coming.’ And John said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God that takes the sin of the world.’ So it paralleled in every way, and I know it will.”
We are in a parallel time to the time of John the Baptist and of Jesus, we are parallel to that time since the days of the Rev. William Branham until our time. God is preparing Himself to do something great. And something great God is preparing to reveal to His Church, because the Seventh Seal will be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ’s Voice as a Lion, crying as when a lion roars, and Seven Thunders uttering their voices, will reveal the mystery of the Seventh Seal. Christ will reveal, will speak, the mystery of the Seventh Seal to His Church, which will give them the faith to be changed and raptured and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And will also come the resurrection of the dead in Christ.
Remember that when Christ was there at hell preaching to the souls or imprisoned spirits, then He passed to the Paradise in order to bring them in the resurrection. The Third Pull is also mixed to the resurrection of the believers in Christ. Therefore, let’s be ready, prepared, for the greatest event that has been promised in the Scriptures: the Coming of the Lord, the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the change of they which are alive; and all that will take place under that which the Rev. William Branham called the Third Pull.
And for that time will come a tight squeeze, and also a persecution, but the hard thing will come afterwards in the great tribulation, and the elect of God will not be here, they will be carried with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, we will only be here for the time of the squeeze. But we are going to be here on Earth seen the fulfilment of the Tent Vision, and what will be happening in the Tent Vision under the Third Pull, which is the Stage of the Sword in the hand, the creative Word of God.
All that is parallel as that which happened when Christ died and went down to hell, and while His body was in the tomb, look all the things He was doing: He continued His ministry, but with they that could not be saved, and then He passed to Paradise where all the ones that had received salvation were, they which were waiting for His Coming there at Paradise. So therefore, all those things are repeated in the way corresponding for this final time.
“JESUS CHRIST SPEAKING TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON.”
For this final time the Holy Ghost, that has been for two thousand years in the midst of His Church, will continue in the midst of His Church and will perform great things in this final time, for which reason God is preparing Himself, and whose else is been prepared? We, too. The Church is been prepared, the people of God is been prepared, and they know that the manifestation of the power of God will be in a Great Tent- Cathedral; and from there it will be extended to other nations by means of television, satellites, radios, and so forth. There will be no limitations in the things that will happen.
Therefore, we must be prepared, all with our lives consecrated to Christ, and waiting what He has promised for His Church, in order to receive the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
“JESUS CHRIST PREACHING TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON”
It was thus there, the same Spirit which preached through Abraham, through Jacob, through Moses, through the prophets, through John the Baptist, preached through Jesus and then descended in Spirit there where the lost souls were, the spirits which had been disobedient in Noah’s time. That same Spirit came in the Day of Pentecost and has been speaking by means of the apostles, St. Peter and the other apostles,, the messengers of different stages: St. Paul and the other messengers up to the Rev. William Branham, and for this final time will be in the midst of His Church speaking again to fulfill what He has promised. Remember that this time will be parallel in everything that happened in that time of John the Baptist and of Jesus.
It has bee for me a great privilege to be with you in this occasion, bearing you witness about: “JESUS CHRIST PREACHING TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON.”
Continue having a happy afternoon, full of the blessings of Christ our Savior; and tomorrow God willing we will be seen Jesus Christ resurrected, which will be then the type and figure of the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and then the change of them that will be alive.
