God bless you. IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN (Original Version) By William Soto Santiago January 4, 1987 Cayey, Puerto Rico Good morning, beloved friends and brothers present. Happy New Year 1987, which has already begun. It is a privilege for me to be here on the first Sunday of the year 1987. And I hope that on this occasion God will allow us to understand his program for us much better from today. This year 1987 falls, if we count from 1946 to 86, if we count that generation that would not pass, we have started the year 87 outside of that generation that would not pass. And we have, counting from 46 to 86, the generation that would not pass, if God looks at the start date of that generation in 1946. What remains to happen? That is what interests us; because we have already seen what has already happened within that generation, if we count it from 46 to 86. I want to read something here that catches our attention; and it was in the time in which a generation also ended: the generation of Moses, from the time he began his ministry and led the people out, until he finished his work, so that another could take his place. Joshua chapter 1 says: “And it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying: My servant Moses is dead: get up now, and cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land that I give to the children of Israel. I have given you, as Moses had said, every place where the soles of your feet will tread. From the desert and this Lebanon to the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the great sea of the setting sun, will be your border. No one will be able to face you in all the days of your life: 4 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO as I was with Moses, I will be with you; I will not leave you, nor will I forsake you. Strive and be brave: for you will distribute to this people for an inheritance the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would give to them. Only that you strive, and be very brave to take care to do according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded you: do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper in all the things you undertake. The book of this law never departs from your mouth: before day and night you will meditate on it, so that you may keep and do according to everything that is written in it: because then you will make your way prosperous, and everything will turn out well for you. Look, I command you to strive and be brave: do not fear or dismay, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." May God bless His Word and allow us to understand it, and allow us to understand what we are going to read: “And Joshua commanded the officers of the town, saying: Go through the middle of the field, and command the people, saying: Prepare yourselves with food; for within three days you will cross the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving you to possess.” This is not to say that it is a literal three days, but rather a span of time from the time you begin or are anointed for that work, to the time you cross the Jordan. Moses reached as far as Jordan, and there he finished his work; and there ended that generation. And they were all facing the Jordan. (You can take a seat if you are so kind.) When the generation that saw the departure of the people of Israel from the land of Egypt to reach the promised land ended, when forty years ended, the people who were going to possess the promised land remained, facing the Jordan. There ended the ministry of Moses. Moses was called by God at that time. God said to him, "Go up the mountain and I will show you from Mount Nebo, I will show you the IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 49 So let's wait for that to happen, and we'll see how we're going to work after we're transformed; because the works with us will continue. So we're not going to leave what we started halfway through. Well how will it be? let us wait firm in the Word to be transformed. Our goal today is to be transformed; and for this reason we will pray, and we will hope in God, in that transformation. Now, how many want the transformation of our body to be in this year 87? (the people say: Amen). Me too. So on this we agree. And I believe that God is very happy that we agree and want the transformation in this year 87. So hopefully, and God also agrees, and tells us: "Well, I also agree with you, or you have agreed with me to receive the transformation of your bodies!" So I'm going to wait for her, I'm waiting for her this year. And how many of you are waiting for it this year too? May God grant us that request of our hearts. It is my wish, it is my prayer. I have not told you what it will be, it is the desire of our hearts. And we will ask God to grant us the desire of our hearts, because he He he has said that he will grant us the desires of our hearts. So we are going to wait on God, and ask him to fulfill what he promised us. We are going to be claiming what he has promised us because it is ours in this time when what belongs to one is claimed. We are going to leave the rest for the next occasion where perhaps we will be talking; or we are going to be talking about the claim or the claim, to know what corresponds to our claim, which will be claimed by the Lion of the Tribe of Judah for all of us. Well, God continue to bless you all, God keep you. 48 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 5 transformed (in the time that he has to listen to it), it will be the group of the promised land. You will see her. You will not be able to enter it because you did chosen ones who will be called with a great voice of a trumpet and gathered not sanctify me, but you were disobedient." together; and that will be the evidence that they will have that they are going to be transformed and that they are chosen, because they have heard the great voice of the trumpet, because they have had ears to hear the voice of God, the final trumpet. No other person will be able to show that evidence. That is why only the chosen ones will be transformed. Well, if I keep talking to you next Sunday I wouldn't have to be here, but I'll be here anyway, even if it's by video, by phone or in person. Anyway I want to be with you here. So since I want to be with you here, then to return here I have to say goodbye to you. So have a very good evening everyone. I wish you a prosperous and happy new year. May this new year bring you all the desires of your heart; and mine too; and I have one that I want to share with you that is the maximum, and it is my goal, the request of my heart, which is my goal. I wish and I will pray that God grant it to me this year. If he doesn't give it to me this year, I'll pray next year that he'll give it to me next year. It is the transformation of my body. The entire creation groans waiting for adoption, redemption, the glorious manifestation of the sons of God (it is the transformation). And if the whole creation groans. If we have not moaned yet, we have to moan, we have to be hungry, desire to be transformed. When we are like this, the transformation of our bodies has to come. So that is my request in the New Year, the maximum request of my heart: the transformation of my body, and then I go where I have to go, and without any problem that is not solved in the moment. And you too, upon being transformed, if you want to accompany me, we will go to all the places that God tells us to go, to… and as manifested children of God, to do what we have to do. And we don't find Moses disobeying God more than once in forty years. We do not find any other place where Moses did differently than God told him to. That cost Moses not to enter the promised land in the physical body that he had. But when the people crossed the Jordan, Moses entered, but in theophany; but his body stayed on the mountain there where the archangel Michael. He says, says Judas and not the Iscariot, because he did not know or keep the Word; but this… and the name was not removed because one of the disciples who betrayed the Lord was called Judas. This one did not remove the name. So he could say: that was the bad guy and I'm the good guy. So this one had divine revelation and said: “But when the archangel Michael contended with the devil, for…disputing over the body of Moses, he dared notto use…to use of curse judgment against him…against the devil… the archangel Gabriel did not curse the devil,but said, The Lord rebuke you." Now, you don't find anywhere else in the Bible that the archangel Michael was fighting to take over the body of Moses, but in the New Testament. How did Judas know? That when you see him in the resurrection, you ask him, if he wants to know. But the thing is, when Moses died, the devil wanted Moses' body; because while Moses the devil was alive he could not obtain the services of Moses. So after death the devil wanted the body; so it is not known what plans the devil had with the body of Moses. So you don't know! Because the devil could invent many things as he has always invented. But the important thing is that the archangel Michael, who is the archangel who is for the children of Israel, was attentive to: 'The body of Moses.' And the angels that accompanied the archangel Gabriel, were the ones that were at the funeral of Moses. Does not say 6 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO the Bible that, in the parable of Jes… that Jesus gave that when that beggar died he was taken away by the angels? How much more so mighty a prophet like him? If the archangel Michael was always accompanying Moses. So it is that the direction of: "the people," although it seemed that it was in the hands of Moses, behind Moses were the heavenly hosts, led, the army of God led by the archangel Michael. So it is that many people do not know that when God has promised something for His people, the fulfillment of those promises comes to human beings, directed by the archangels who are responsible for making that come true on this Earth; and they look for the man indicated in the divine program, through whom they will carry out that work. Moses was called on Mount Sinai to carry out that work that took him forty years. A whole generation. Now, when Moses wanted to pass on from that generation, God told him: “No, you have something against you that I have not overlooked. Do you remember that occasion, when I told you: speak… speak to the rock so that it gives water, and you hurt it?” On the first occasion God had told him to speak to it... or to touch the rock with the rod and the rock gave water... but on the second occasion God did not tell him to smite it, because to smite the rock represented the death of the Lord Jesus Christ ( the death of the Lord at his first coming). But to wound her a second time would represent a second crucifixion. And Moses did it and he could not go to the promised land (as no person who hurts the Rock in the final time, in the fulfillment of the second coming of the Son of Man, will be able to go to the promised land). Now, Moses had only one thing against him; but what that meant was so great before God, because the rock could not be wounded, crucified twice. And to him…he do it…so in type and figure it represents and causes that even though he cannot be literally hurt, a literal second crucifixion, then a second crucifixion has to take place, though IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 47 So this year we are beginning with this message, in a new phase or stage, after the generation that began in 46 has finished. So we will let God move and do what He has planned; and we will see how he will be fulfilling what remains to be fulfilled, which he could not fulfill in the generation that has already passed. And we do not stay... no... no... we do not want to stay without enjoying the other things that remain to be fulfilled, we want everything that He has promised for His children in the end time. And we are going to say to God: "I will not leave you until I am transformed in this final time!" And does he know what he says to us? The same thing that he said to Joshua: “And I will not leave you nor forsake you; wherever you go, I will go with you!” With these promises, who is not going to be happy? We have the biggest promises. No people have the promises that we have, nor the security, nor the evidence that we have to wait for the transformation of our body. All the religions of Christianity say: “We are waiting for the resurrection of the dead. We are waiting for the transformation of our bodies.” And if I ask you this morning: "Have you heard the great trumpet voice, the final trumpet, which precedes and prepares the elect for the transformation of their bodies and for the resurrection of the dead?" The answer is: "And what is that?" "And what is that?" They may say, "I'm waiting for an archangel to come down from heaven, a literal archangel, with a trumpet." Which they have never seen, nor will they ever see. So you have to know what you are expecting, and see the time in which it is fulfilled and receive it; because things are not how people imagine them, but how God fulfills them according to his program. The only people, the only group of human beings, that will hear the great voice of the trumpet and be prepared to be 46 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO That is where all the promises are, it is the promised land; and very, very little is missing. Together we will cross and reach the promised land. Well, God save us from the dangers that are coming, and God help us to go to the other side, to the promised land, and receive the glorified body. I will be praying for you too, so that you all arrive. And you pray for me so that I also arrive and that God gives me a lot of understanding and also gives me a lot of strength so that if I have to jump, jump high, I can jump high and escape all dangers, and we can all very soon to be transformed, and also to receive the dead who are to be raised; and may the message also reach the 144,000 Hebrews, Jews, who have to receive it. So I don't think we need to continue talking, because we have already listened, we have understood and we are sure of what we have believed. And we know where we stand. It's... in 'Caro' it's five minus two, I'm looking from here, it's just that I use glasses to read, but to see from a distance I don't… I don't… I don't use them. And a little needle like this is seen from afar and one sees where... but in mine I always have it a little ahead, because I always have to get ahead of things. So I have it a little early and it is, it is the same time as many years ago, the seventh messenger when he saw the clock said: "It is two in the afternoon." And in this, in this it is two in the afternoon. The first message of the year and I have preached it as if it were also the last. I think I've given him everything; and I have given you a summary so that all of you know that we are facing the Jordan, soon to be transformed. Know where you're standing, know the loud trumpet message you've received; and always keep your eyes on the divine goal, the transformation of our body. And let that be our goal too. IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 7 be spiritually; which is indicated that it will occur in the final time. Of which you have already heard and for which the name of the people who carry out that crucifixion will be erased from the Book of Life. And the Judas who sell the Word to be crucified will have their names erased from the Book of Life as well. And just as Judas was one of the disciples of the Lord, there will be Judas who will have followed the message of the second coming of the Son of Man; but then they will sell the Word to be crucified. But you see, Judas Iscariot was only a portion. Only of the group that followed the Lord (of twelve only one), less than a tenth of the disciples of the Lord (of the apostles). So that will represent those who will deliver the Word to be crucified. Just as the Lord's disciples were frightened when the Word was delivered; some fled (all very fearful), so also some people will become full of fear for the delivery of the Word in the end time to be crucified. Now, speaking of the time in which we are living, what we are facing in this time, we have to recognize well the time in which we are living. If we are living in a time parallel to the time when the Lord would be betrayed and crucified, and death would touch him. In those days Jesus was facing death, facing the time for his crucifixion. He was symbolically facing the Jordan; because the Jordan represents death. Jesus had to die. Today we find ourselves again facing the Jordan. Just as the people of Israel also when the forty years of the generation that left Egypt under the ministry of Moses were completed, when they completed forty years in the desert; and Moses concludes his ministry by going up Mount Nebo and dying there; and being carried by his angels, by the archangel Gab... Michael and his army, and being buried, and no one knows where he was buried. Thus we have reached the end of the generation that saw 8 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO the people of Israel in their beginning to go out from among the Gentiles to the land of Israel. The people who saw the Hebrew people settle in the land of Israel in 1946 as a free and sovereign nation, when the flag with the star of David was raised. It was in 1946 on May 7. Now that generation that would not pass, counting from the year 46 to 86, has ended. And the things that Jesus said had to happen before that generation passed, have been happening, counting from 46 to 86. If we count from 48 to 88 we have a year and a half or so left for other things to be fulfilled. . But taking from 46 we could say: the generation that would not pass without seeing the fulfillment of the promises corresponding to that generation has ended and we find ourselves as the people of Israel with Joshua, after finishing the generation of Moses, we find ourselves in front of the Jordan. On the other side of the Jordan the promised land; on the other side of the Jordan all the divine promises to be obtained by the people of God. The promised land, the land where the people of Israel would live in peace, where God would be with them, where the Temple of God would be, and where God would enter to live there, and not be like in the desert, moving from one place to another with the temple or tabernacle that Moses built. A very important moment in the history of the Hebrew people had been reached. Moses had finished his work; and he began the ministry of: "The minister of Moses." The disciple of Moses was the one in charge of taking the people across the Jordan to the promised land. Representing the promised land for the chosen ones at the end of the century, at the end of time, the new body that each one of the chosen ones will have. Because today we have a land in which we live, this body that we have; but we have the promise of a new land, a promised land of a new promised body, which we will enter. And what is between the promised land and the land outside the promised land is a Jordan. A Jordan that all the IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN Four. Five May God allow me to reach you and also to all the people and groups in other countries. So God bless all of you there in Guatemala. God bless you Tirso and go ahead, and since you have heard that the ministers, death, the Jordan will step on them... to step on the heels prepare well so that you are not afraid of what is coming, stay with the ark of the covenant up high so that all the people can go to the promised land, those who are from there in Guatemala. And so each minister in each country and each group where they live. He has been charged with holding the Ark high, without letting go of it; because the group that God has given him to lead will depend on him. So go ahead, always go ahead, without any fear, as a hymn says and also a chorus. So you there in Guatemala, God bless you, God keep you and thank you very much for your attention there in Guatemala. And you here in Puerto Rico, thank you very much for your attention for your assistance on this... on this day and always forward, receiving, listening to the message of the loud trumpet voice, without turning aside to the right or left of the message, until you receive the message. transformation of our bodies. God bless you, God keep you, and until the next time I'll be with you here in Puesto Rico, either in person or by phone, or via television, via uh… television video. In one of these three ways I will be with you. So always go ahead, because our transformation is about to happen! It did not happen in the generation that passed, so it was not for that generation that has passed. It is for the time after that generation. And we have already heard about that and we are very happy about it. So God bless you, God keep you, and do you still want one more little test to see how you are doing? Or, well, you already know where you are standing. Well, if you know where you are standing, how many of you will cross the Jordan in this final time and reach the promised land, according to God's promise? (the people say: Amen) 44 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO save. Thank you very much for your kind attention, have a good afternoon everyone in this first... in this first activity of this new year 87. It has been a great privilege for me... it has been a great privilege for me to have the first activity, to give the first conference, here in Cayey, Puerto Rico. With you here present. And it is also a privilege for all of us to be together in the first activity of the year 87. And for you also there in Guatemala, who are listening to me this morning. For you there in Guatemala I tell you: it has been a great privilege for me to be able, from here from Puerto Rico, to take you the message directly from Puesto Rico by telephone. God bless you there in Guatemala too, God keep you and continue to prepare you for the transformation, which is about to happen very soon. I hope to see you very soon there in Guatemala, but if I don't get to see you before the transformation, I will see you after I am transformed and you will also be transformed and we will see each other in a much better condition. Without problems, without difficulties and that would be better. So if it happens before I get to you, there in Guatemala, if the transformation happens before, Not that they're going to... no... not that they're not going to receive me well if I go without being transformed yet. But I think that we receive a person who has already been transformed much better than if he is not transformed. And if you are already transformed, I will feel much better among you and we will feel much better for each other. And... we would go no longer one or two, but rather a group of those who rise again according to God's promise. But I have not told you that I am going to be transformed before the activity that we are going to have there in Guatemala, it is not going to be that when I get there you think that I am already transformed and you are going to take… uh to take that visit in the wrong way there in Guatemala. So when I get to you, whether or not I'm transformed, I'll be with you, God willing, in time. IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 9 chosen ones who have the promise of not seeing death. A Jordan that they will have to pass dry. But that they will pass it dry according to the divine promise; because it is the divine program for his chosen ones. To be able to cross dry (that is, without seeing death) because the Jordan represents death; and to pass it dry, is to pass it without seeing death; how the people of Israel had to go through it; and as Elijah, accompanied by Elisha, also passed him by; and when Elías passed it dry, he did not have to die, he was taken away in a chariot of fire, or flying saucer, as it is called today. The angels of God took Elijah away too. We have a mission, we have a task, to carry out. We have a Jordan ahead of us to pass and we want to pass it dry. We want to pass dry, that is, pass death without even touching our feet; we want to go through death without it touching any of us. We want to cross that Jordan (the Jordan of death) but we want to cross it while we are alive. For that, a divine miracle is needed, a divine miracle parallel to the one that God performed when Joshua, with the Hebrew people, crossed the Jordan. God told Joshua that he was the person to take the people to the promised land. And José… Joshua means savior. He also means (Jesus Savior). And Joshua represents the final leader of the chosen ones, who will pass the people to the promised land. It goes on to say in Joshua chapter 3 verse… verse 5 onwards. We could even read almost all of this chapter because we have a very important lesson here, since we have seen the end of the generation that God said would not happen, Jesus said that it would not happen without the fulfillment of the things that He said: "The sign of the Son of Man in heaven and the Son of Man sending His angels with a loud trumpet call, calling and gathering the elect in the great harvest.” For that work... for that work, behind what our eyes can see, will be Gabriel and Miguel, who are represented on the ark of the covenant in the most holy place. And that those two cherubs represent Gabriel and Michael in the temple of God in heaven; Y 10 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO They represent, in the spiritual temple of the Lord Jesus Christ, the ministry of the two olive trees, the ministry of Elijah and Moses, at the end of time, calling and gathering the chosen ones. From among them will come the voice of God, the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ, the great voice of a trumpet, which calls the elect, of which Saint Paul said: “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, the voice of the archangel. ..." Because it is the voice of a dispensational ministry, a ministry represented in the two cherubs of the most holy place, which will be supported by the archangel Gabriel and the archangel Michael. That is why it will be “voice of archangel.” And archangels will be supporting that ministry in the midst of the Gentiles, and then in the midst of the Hebrews. Because when the time comes to the Hebrews, he says: "And at that time Michael will arise, the great prince who is for the children of Israel." And when Daniel saw the archangel Michael, he had also seen the archangel Gabriel, who was the one who brought him all these revelations so that Daniel could understand them. And Daniel once said… [we are talking about the two worlds, the world that we can see, which is the world where prophecies are fulfilled for us; and speaking of the spiritual world, which makes those prophecies come true in the midst of human beings; which is directed by the archangels of God sent to this Earth]. Look in chapter 9 of the book Daniel... chapter 9 and verse 21 says... verse 21 onwards says:“I was still talking and praying(The prophet Daniel was speaking and praying)and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and poured out my prayer before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God..." If we are going to pray for the people today, it will be for the holy mountain of God, which is Mount Zion, the chosen ones of God. (Here a prophet had to pray for God's holy mountain.) “And I was still speaking in prayer, and that man Gabriel, whom I had seen in a vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening sacrifice. And he made me understand, and spoke to me, and said: Daniel, now I have come out to make you understand the statement. IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 43 corresponds to the time in which you are living; because if you do not take seriously the message and the dispensation that you have had to live; For those who do not take seriously the things of God for the time in which they live, there is no promise, there is no promise of transformation of their body, nor of seeing the dead who are going to rise again. You need to get yourself in order, with yourself, with God, with the Age in which you live, with the dispensation in which you live, and with the message that corresponds to the time in which you live. You will not be able to receive anything from God; You will not be able to receive the fulfillment of the promises that He has of transformation for the chosen ones, if you do not take it seriously. God has a program, which He is carrying out seriously, for people who take it seriously. So you already know how you are, if you are ready for the transformation or if you are not ready. So remember that… uh, remember that if you're not ready If there are those chosen who aren't ready, don't worry that if you don't voluntarily join the tests they'll join us. So it is that the tests are going to be to finish affirming ourselves well in the loud trumpet voice message, if we need to be affirmed more than what we are affirmed. So now you can see where we are, facing the Jordan; speaking to you of trials to come; but also talking about the great blessings that await us, which are bigger than the problems we have or may have on this Earth. I am willing to be transformed. Is that I need to be turned. I would still like to be transformed before that enemy attack comes; I would like to be transformed and that you also be transformed before that attack arrives; but if it has to be after, then it will be after. But the transformation comes because God has promised it, and He will fulfill it for, for whom? who is going to be transformed? For transformation comes for you and me at the end of time according to God's promise. “IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN.”God bless you, God bless you 42 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO For He said: "... Pray... Watch and pray that you may be counted worthy to avoid these things that will come, the judgments, and to stand before the Son of Man." To stand before the Son of Man at his coming, with his angels, calling the chosen ones with a loud trumpet call, is to have been deemed worthy to avoid the great tribulation that is coming, and to remain standing receiving the message, the great trumpet voice, to be transformed. And you are the one who knows how you are. Do you want me to test you? I will be doing it, also myself. Would you change a day of activity here, which is only Sunday, for a picnic, beach day, or a party, or go with your family to this or that place, and stop attending to hear the message of great trumpet voice, which will be heard here in this place, and you in each country where you meet? Or will you drop whatever you are doing, or are invited to do, to be in the place where the message of a great voice of a trumpet is being given at that moment, on that day on which it is given... on which that activity is held, to be heard and seen on some occasions also through video or in person, and also to personally hear the message of great trumpet voice, corresponding to the end time? Would you leave everything you have or have been invited to do on that day to listen and be present in the place where God will be sending His spiritual blessing so that you are prepared for the transformation that He is going to give you? give? If you give up what you have to give up to be present, when you have to be present in the place that you have to be present to hear the loud trumpet message, you have taken seriously God's plan, God's program. And for those who have taken it seriously, I can only say: Your transformation will soon take place! For those who have not taken God's program seriously, I want to tell you: "You are still not prepared for the transformation." You need to prepare yourself, you need to take seriously the time you are living, take seriously the message that IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN eleven At the beginning of your prayers the word came out, and I have come to teach it to you, because you are a man of desires. Therefore understand the word, and understand the vision.” And he began to explain to him; because Gabriel is the archangel who came to Daniel to explain the prophecies that had to be fulfilled and to give him the visions so that Daniel would put those prophecies in writing, to have it written down and thus know the things that God would be carrying out; and also make Daniel understand those prophecies, except when he got to chapter 12, when Daniel said... Let's read it, because we are talking about the invisible world, about another dimension, where only the prophets of God can see, can speak, can communicate and they can receive from there. Daniel was seeing in another dimension, because he had the two consciousnesses together, and he saw with the 90 percent that other human beings cannot see; because in that other 90 percent… because human beings are only using 10 percent. Only people have been on earth who have used more than 10 percent and they have been the prophets that God has sent in each time, to be able to understand and see with that nine... that rest (with 90 percent, with the subconscious). to be able to see in another dimension, another world, to see those archangels of God, to see the angels, to see God in His Temple, and to know the mysteries of the most high God and make it known to those who can only use 10 percent. In other words, in clearer words, the prophets of God, that God has sent to Earth, have worked with that 90 percent that others cannot work, to bring human beings, to the 10 percent that they have, what they have managed to obtain with 90 percent. That is why many times with the 10 percent that human beings have, they cannot understand the 90 percent that God's prophets have used to understand and receive those visions, those divine revelations that God has given them. But that is how it has been throughout the history of human beings. And that's why God said:“Prophet, like you, (said to Moses)I will raise them up from among the people.” 12 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO Moses met God face to face. And God spoke with Moses face to face. That is why God said to Aaron and Miriam: “There has not been a man in the midst of the people like Moses, the meekest of the people, to whom I have spoken face to face. To the other prophets I speak by vision and by dreams." The other prophets before him and after Moses could see dreams and visions; but Moses could see face to face. When God on one occasion was with Moses speaking, and Moses made a request to God, and told him that he wanted to see God; He told her: "I have a request, I want to see you." It is that everyone wants to see God. And Moses... Moses knew that God existed and that he had sent him to deliver the people; and he wanted to see God. God had told him that there was no man who could see God and live. Now, God tells him: but I am going to pass, you are going to hide behind the rock, I am going to pass and you are going to look from the rock and you are going to see me. Moses was attentive and God, Jehovah, passed by. And Moses says that he saw like the backs of a man. What did Moses see? Moses saw God in theophany. In clearer words: Moses saw Melchizedek. Moses saw Jesus in theophany, when he did not yet have a human body, which would be born of the Virgin Mary. That's what Moses saw, he saw his back. Now, Moses had also seen the archangel Gabriel, the archangel Michael, because with the 90 percent that normal beings cannot see, they cannot use; These prophets that God sends at each time use it because they are programmed. How human beings program a computer, or program television systems, so that what they are transmitting from a television channel can be seen in the fourth dimension. And they throw them through that fourth dimension and each television is programmed with the different channels, where you can see what is happening on those channels. In the same way, God has programmed His messengers, His prophets, so that they can see on the channel for which they have been programmed, the divine program for that time. IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 41 resurrection of the dead and transformation? You are yet another religious of the many religious in this world; that they are waiting for many things and they do not know what they are waiting for, and they do not know what the evidence is to receive what they are waiting for. There were many of those in the time of Jesus, in the time of Noah as well; but those who knew the message that corresponded to that time, knew the message they had to receive; and they received it; and then they said, when Jesus said to them: “Do you want to go too?” Peter said: “And to whom shall we go? Who shall we go to if only You have the words of eternal life? To whom will we go, if only the final trumpet, the great trumpet voice, is the word of eternal life for the transformation of our bodies? Who shall we go to? We will stay with the final trumpet, with the great trumpet call, and we will be transformed, as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ and all the prophets of the past. I know about me; you are the one who has to know about you. You are the one who has to know how you are believing. You are the one who has to know how you have grasped the final message of the great voice of the trumpet in this time in which we live. You are the one who has to know if this message has become part of yourself for you, if this message is for you all your life, if this message is the only message for you, and that apart from this message you are not you want another message. You are the one who knows how you are; you are the one who has to examine yourself and establish your heart well in the Word, in the message of the loud trumpet voice, of the final trumpet; because outside of that message there is no hope for the human being. Outside of that message there is no hope of transformation for any person. So you are the one who has to know how you are. You are the one who has to know well how you find yourself with that message. You are the one who has to know if you are standing before the Son of Man, as the Lord Jesus Christ said; or if he is not standing before the Son of Man. 40 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO And I ask each one of you: How many of you are going to be transformed? (the people say: Amen). The question surprised each of you, but it is a question that you have to answer. And so that you can answer it safely, the evidence that a person is a chosen one, the only evidence that a person is a chosen one, that the Spirit of God is with him and on him, that he has received the Spirit of God, who has a theophanic body in the other dimension; the only evidence is that he receives the message that corresponds to the time in which he lives; other than that you have no other evidence for you to know and believe that he is a chosen one. And now I ask you, who are the chosen ones at the end of the age, according to God's promise? (the people say: Amen). And for each one individually to answer himself; Now not saying us, but saying individually, who is going to be transformed in the final time according to God's promise? (the people say: Amen) You know then what is the message of the loud trumpet voice, the final trumpet, that prepares the person to be transformed. You know where you stand; because you will not be waiting for the transformation of your body if you do not know that you are chosen, if you do not know that you are the one who is going to be transformed. If you don't know that you are going to be transformed, why are you going to wait for the transformation? why would he be waiting for the resurrection of the dead? if only the chosen ones are, those who are alive, those who will see the dead risen and then they will be transformed, when they see the dead risen. If you do not know that you are chosen and that you have the evidence that it is to receive the message for the time in which you live, the message that corresponds to our time, indicated in Scripture as the message of a great voice of a trumpet, the message of the last trumpet. If you do not know and do not believe that you are chosen and that you have received this message, why are you going to wait for the IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 13 For example, the first messenger of the first Gentile Church Age was programmed on the first channel, and there he saw the divine program that God was carrying out, going through channel one, the first Age, the first channel of God. . And so the second messenger, the third, each programmed, being the channel to capture the divine program that God was passing from heaven to human beings to materialize them. And whoever wanted to see God's program had to see it through God's Television, and on the channel that God had tuned for that occasion. Paul was the TV on channel 1, in the first Gentile Church Age. And if you look to the past, how can you watch a program that has already passed, if it was recorded on a video, well, even though the time in which it was on television has passed, if you have it, you can post it and watch it again ; but that was something of the past history. You can see the program that God carried out through that channel, through the biblical story, but it is not the time for that program and for that channel and that television. That television or that ministry is in the past. So through seven messengers of the seven Gentile Church ages. And those were messengers of the second dispensation, but none of them was a dispensational messenger of that second dispensation, because the dispensational messenger, His name is "The Lord Jesus Christ." And in the first dispensation, the dispensation of Moses, the dispensational messenger was Moses; but it had… there were seven ages of the Hebrew Church with seven messengers, through whom the program that God carried out in those seven stages of the Hebrew Church was seen: the last one was John the Baptist. And we can see the program that God carried out... carried out from heaven, materialized on this earth and we can see it through the ministry of John the Baptist, who was the television; because it was the one he saw in another dimension. He once said: "The one who commanded me to baptize told me: On whom you see the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove, that is the Messiah, that is the Christ." 14 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO So he saw in another dimension. It was a television. Because what a television does is that it sees and captures in another dimension what you should see on the channel you are tuned to. Now a television of an Age, and a Television of a dispensation, in them there is a great difference. A dispensational television is a dispensational messenger that brings a complete program for a complete dispensation, which will be directed by that program that He is transmitting, that he is letting the people of that time see; and it is the divine program, the program of God. Moses was a dispensational television, with the two consciousnesses together, using the subconscious to such a degree that he could see God and speak with God and God with him, says God: "Face to face." Jesus was like that too. He was God made flesh, as Saint Paul says:“Great is the mystery of mercy, God has been manifested in the flesh..."He used one hundred percent of His mind, conscious and subconscious. In clearer words, for Moses and for Jesus, being dispensational messengers, the conscious and the subconscious were one piece; it had no division, because that is the way it is with all the prophets that God has sent. The conscious and the subconscious are united; there is no separation. That's why when Moses said: "Flies come," the flies appeared. "Come frogs," the frogs appeared; because he had the divine program to carry it out, the Word of God was in him; God had placed his Word in him, and he had that Word to speak. Where did you get it from? Where was she? In what is the subconscious for the human being, there was that creative Word to make the plagues that had to come upon the Egyptian people a reality; because the 90 percent, which is the subconscious for the normal being... for the being... normal being, is the part with which the human being could create, could do the same thing that the prophets of the past did. That is why God placed a separation between the conscious and the subconscious for ordinary human beings; because human beings would do a lot of damage with one hundred percent of their IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 39 because when we see that proof, it is that the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of our body is about to take place. Now, we don't say the test will come; what we say is that he come: "The transformation of our body and the resurrection of the dead!" The test or that stage if it comes, well we can't do anything else; If he doesn't come, that's fine too. If it were possible, well, don't come. If it is not possible, then we will drink, we will drink that cup; if it can't be avoided. And that'll prove if you're a true believer in the Word, in the loud trumpet message, that's been calling and coming, gathering the elect; because transformation is not for everyone; transformation is for the chosen ones. We are not calling people and saying, "Come to be changed, or come to be chosen." No, you will come, you will respond to the message of a loud trumpet voice, if you are a chosen one. As Jesus said: “My sheep hear my voice and follow me.” And he who is of God, the voice of God, the Word of God hears.” The Word of God of this time, the great trumpet voice, and then it will be transformed. So it is in God's program. That is why no one is being put up with it, no one is being told not to leave. Rather, on one occasion Jesus said: “Do you want to leave? Do you want to go too?" Whoever wants to go, well, he can go. The one who is firm in his heart, believing the Word of the end time, and knows where he is standing, he will only be able to say one thing: “And to whom shall we go? Where will we go?" There is no other place; there is no other message outside of the loud trumpet message for the transformation of our bodies. Saint Paul already said it. So we know what message we have believed. We know where we stand in terms of Age and dispensation, and we know where we are spiritually. We know that we are facing the Jordan, to enter the promised land, to the transformation of our bodies. Therefore, we will remain waiting for the transformation of our bodies. 38 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO there is very little time left, that is why he also comes as a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. So let's be calm, let's be at peace, at peace with God, at peace with ourselves, at peace with the Word (the message that corresponds to us), firmly believing the message that corresponds to us. And I tell you what Joshua said: “Sanctify yourselves. The saint be holy still;" because we are going to cross the Jordan dry. We are going to pass it on and it is a promise, not mine but God's to you and me. And we're resting on the promise that he made it. And in which he made that promise that he is faithful to keep it. He will fulfill it at the appropriate time. We are privileged to live in this time; because it is the time in which the greatest of promises will be fulfilled for the chosen ones: "The promise of the transformation of those who are alive, and resurrection of those who have died in the past." We are living in the most glorious time of all time. Now, pay attention... if you pay attention, in this time the attack is represented in a serpent attacking in this final time. What if you had lived back in the time of the great persecutions, in the beginning of the Ages, where a lion opened his mouth and killed or ate the chosen ones, one or two, and another lion did the same with another or with other chosen ones when they were thrown to the lions? There they did not have the promise that those lions were not going to kill them, because it was the time of the martyrs; but we are no longer in that time. That is why we have the promise, that we will have victory in the final time. We are sure because it is a divine promise. It is in Him that we trust; not in our own strength, but in His. We only ask Him to give us strength to live these final days, encourage us with His Word, and be spiritually strengthened to face everything we have to go through. And seeing what the result will be, we look at the Outcome. Looking at the result then we can be happy; IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN fifteen mind functioning in a conscious state; therefore, it rendered 90 percent unconscious. And with 10 percent is that the human race works. And with such a small percentage, look at all the damage they have done on Earth, look at the wars, the problems and everything that is seen today. Well, that was what God prevented from happening: that man had one hundred percent of his mind functioning consciously. And to prevent one hundred percent of his mind from working consciously, what he did was: he closed the path to the tree of life; because if the human being ate from the tree of life, then he would live forever with all the problems he already had in multiplied form, and he would do a lot of damage, not only on this planet Earth but on all the other planets, in all creation . So that's what happened, and that's what God prevented man from having; and from then on only 10 percent. Adam before the fall, we can see that he could create, he could do what he wanted or wanted to do, because he had one hundred percent of his mind consciously. Well, now you see the reason why throughout Biblical history there were prophets who spoke, and the things they spoke came to pass. And you can see Joshua who on one occasion said to the Sun: “Stop,” and said to the moon, “you stop too.” And the sun stopped and it shined, after the sun stopped it shined for almost 24 hours, almost a day, that is, it shined for almost 12 more hours. In other words, it was almost two days of light. That is, almost 24 hours of light. In other words, God added 12 more hours to the day, because a man with the two consciences together drew from his subconscious, which was conscious (but we are going to call it subconscious). But that, well, for a prophet comes to be conscious all the time. And that is why being awake they see things that any other person, if they want to see them in another dimension, would have to 16 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO fall asleep and in a dream be able to see them if God allows him to come by so that he can see them. Well, Josué had both consciences together too. That's why he was the successor of Moses, and he was anointed for that job, and he had the Word that Moses had brought, the dispensational message. Now these miracles are creative miracles that happened in the past. Isaías on one occasion… on one occasion he told the king, I think he went to Hezekiah, he gave him a… a sign that he was going to live. The fact that the sun also stopped for about 10 degrees seems to me to have been, or 12 degrees… 10 degrees. Because if the sun, if Isaiah said to the sun: “get ahead 10 degrees,” then the sun has always walked forward. So it was normal that he kept going a little faster. Then Isaiah told him: but the miracle is going to be bigger, the sun is going to walk backwards, it is going to walk backwards 10 degrees. In other words, Isaiah altered with the Word of God and using the 90 percent that ordinary human beings cannot use, he altered the order of: “The solar system.” He altered the movement of the Sun and the Earth. He made them walk back. He made to walk back. So it is that the earth... the earth had to shake in those days because walking the earth normally forwards, making it walk backwards was a sudden stop and a riverzaso, a setback; that they surely felt it around the world. But as a prophet said, that was not a mistake or fault of that prophet, although he altered the order in which the planet earth and the solar system were functioning. It was an interruption in nature, in creation; but directed, ordered by God. Like the flood it was an interruption of nature; and the planet Earth tilted a few degrees. Now Isaiah did it, as did Joshua, and with that he completed the time that Joshua needed to complete to complete the day, because it was almost a day that the sun shone on that occasion. In other words, it was almost, it was almost 24 hours, it had already been 12… 12 hours, from six in the morning to six in the afternoon; And when the sun wanted to go down, before the sun went down, then Joshua told him: "You are not going to hide." IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 37 they come from God; and that is why the enemy is going to attack to the death in the end time. But let's say as Elisha said: "There are more who are with us than those who are against." And Elisha's servant didn't see anyone with them, but it was because they were in another dimension. Archangel Michael, Archangel Gabriel and all these archangels with their armies were here on Earth with Elisha to defend him. Elisha said, "Oh, God, open this boy's eyes so he can see that more are for us than are against us." And when he looked, he saw the mountains full of chariots of fire, the chariots of God. So it is that the entire celestial Army, the celestial hosts, will be with us to defend us, to help us; the angel of Jehovah who camps around us defends us, will defend us at that stage, and will give us victory. It will be a stage in which what today is called flying saucers or chariots of fire will come to give the chosen ones victory, bring the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of the living (as it was in the days of Elijah, who he was abducted so as not to see death, by a flying saucer, or chariot of fire, as it is called in the Bible). For that will be the flying saucers, or chariots of fire, in this final time, to defend the chosen ones and to bring about the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of the living. So it will be in this end time. So… why should we be afraid? Jesus said on one occasion: "Do not fear those who can kill the body, I am going to tell you who you should fear: "Fear him who can kill the body and also the spirit and the soul," what to fear . But the enemy who will come like a river, will come like the Jordan overflowing... and he comes like the Jordan overflowing when we are in front of the Jordan at the time of the wheat harvest, at the time of the gathering of the elect. He chose a bad time because it will be the time when he will receive the biggest defeat of all time. But since he knows that 36 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO of what is coming, the persecution that is coming, I am going to tell you something that will alleviate your fear a little You should not be so afraid, because the one they were persecuting was the friend of the seventh messenger; which was the one who was struggling to escape from the snake that was chasing him. So it is that the persecution, the attack, will be against that one because that will be the one that will be blowing the great voice of the trumpet and calling all the chosen ones. And the attack will be against him; Because smiting the shepherd of that group, of that Age, of that road, of that narrow road... "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep will scatter." So the attack will mainly be directed at that messenger. So now, I think his fear is disappearing. And if someone is very afraid and does not want to go through that, then get off that narrow road, because that is where the attack against that messenger will come; but that is where Elijah will also be there, that is where God will also be supporting him and helping him; and that is where the transformation of the chosen ones and the resurrection of the dead will come; and we will go to the promised land. Whoever is afraid and does not want to go through what is coming, as someone once said, God told him: “Look at the cowards and those who tremble, you can tell them to go home because this is going to be for the brave, with a small group, but brave people. So if he is afraid, let his fear go away and to alleviate it a little, I already told you that the attack will be directed directly at the messenger. But he will be helped from heaven. And we will pray to God to help you in this difficult stage. It will be the most difficult stage of his life; but it will be the stage where victory will be the greatest for him; which he will share with all of us; and he will then take us to the promised land, even if he has to spiritually, or whatever, even if he has to stop the Sun at some point; because later he will have to minister to the 144,000, where, when he wants to make the Sun go down and burn on the Earth, according to the judgment that is going to come, he will be able to do it; so... but we must go to the promised land. So we can already visualize the great things that IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 17 By the time of the afternoon the Sun could not hide because there was a battle that had to continue until victory was achieved. The Sun continued to shine, and victory was for the children of Israel in the conquest of the promised land. You see that all the good things that God promises for His children are obtained through a battle. When victory is obtained in that battle, you have obtained what He promised. Now, Isaiah completed what was lacking in the…the day that Joshua lengthened. So you see, God does not miss anything at all. That is why when scientists search, they find that one day is missing. It is that Joshua has it and the rest Isaiah. So you see that for God there is nothing impossible. And God always works through a human being when he is going to carry out things. Now, we are facing the Jordan. I want us to know the time well, we know well the promise that corresponds to our time, so that we know where we stand. On the other side of the Jordan are all the promises of eternal life, there is the new body, there is everything we want. But we are still next to here; and we have to cross the Jordan, we have to cross through death, as the prophet Elijah crossed and as Joshua crossed with the people. Now, you see, it was around the time that Joshua would be inaugurating his ministry with the Hebrew people, it was when the generation that saw the miracles and wonders from Moses had finished, and received the Law... but it was during a generation which had already passed in those days. When Moses died, there ended that generation. Joshua was starting a new generation where all the promises of a promised land were. And if we can rejoice in something, it is to know that the generation that began in 1946, would not pass away until the promises of: The return of the Hebrew people to their land, and the fig tree to turn green. As He said; and the chosen ones will be there who, after that generation ends, will also enter the land 18 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO promised because they will be the chosen ones from among the Hebrew people who will cross… they will cross to another generation. Now, they will have to see death, like their brothers who have seen death in the past; but those chosen from among the Gentiles will not see death. Now, for the premiere of Joshua's ministry... for the premiere of that ministry of Joshua to be in favor of the Hebrew people and enter the promised land, for that premiere the Jordan was ahead. He had to get the victory over the Jordan that was grown; because it was the time of the harvest, of the harvest, in which the Jordan overflowed. And the Jordan represents death; and the harvest represents the time of the harvest or gathering of the chosen ones. And death at the time of gathering or harvest of the chosen ones is overflowing in all nations, with all the mechanisms that produce physical and spiritual death. Until the end time a Rider on a horse will appear. Not the one in Revelation 19, but on another horse and his name will be "Death." Because in the time of the harvest death will be overflowing... overflowing everywhere, physically and spiritually as well; but the chosen ones have the promise of passing to the other side without seeing death. Joshua chapter 3 says: “And Joshua rose early in the morning, and departed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and rested there before they passed over. And after three days, the officers crossed through the middle of the field, and commanded the people, saying, When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests and Levites that set it up(or who carry it), you will depart from your place, and sea…you will march after her.” To cross the Jordan, remember, it is necessary to follow the Ark of the Covenant. No one will go to the promised land unless they are following the Ark of the Covenant where the updated law is, Aaron's rod that budded in updated form that represents the IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 35 possible, pass this cup from me..." But if at the end I see that it is not possible, then do it as you want and not as I want. If you can't pass that cup without me drinking it, take it, then go ahead with God's program; but affirming our face, affirming our face as Jesus affirmed. He set his face to go up to Jerusalem. And us affirming our face to enter the promised land, going through the problems, going through the Jordan, going through death, if we have to go through. We're going to go through and we're going to go through and get to the promised land. So it is that this year, the first message tells us about a little trial, compared to the great blessing that we have to receive. Look, that is a grain of sand placed in the Universe. Because the trials and sufferings through which we pass, said Saint Paul, are not to be compared with the glories to come. Our goal, our sight is set not on the test, but on the blessing that awaits us in the promised land. We are aware that we are facing the Jordan. Just try hard, and be brave. This is for the messenger of that narrow path and the group of him. Let us be brave and forceful to go to the promised land, because we are facing the Jordan. Now, after speaking to you about the tests that we have to go through, about this problem that was already seen in a vision, in two visions, and perhaps in many others that we cannot mention at this time due to lack of time, I ask you: how many are afraid here on this occasion? hehehe And he hasn't arrived yet, he's just afraid of the vision. When it materializes, I don't know... So God tells us, through the vision, that we were afraid; but what He tells us is: "I tell you to strive and be brave." Because: "Because the kingdom of heaven (more at this time) becomes strong, and the brave take it away." How many of you will cross the Jordan in this end time and reach the Promised Land according to the divine promise and program? (the people say: Amen) AND ME TOO! So I'm going to relieve you now, I'm going to lighten your load a little so that your fear can be removed. After talking about 3. 4 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO to believe what you say you believe, you did not believe it. You didn't really believe it as you have to believe to be transformed. So adjust your straps well, as we say, for whatever comes, because afterward comes the transformation of our body, preceded by the resurrection of the dead. Now, the first message of the year 87 does not speak only of the trials... of the trials that are going to come. There have always been trials, persecutions, problems; and we will always have them if we stay here without being transformed. Because that's where the problems of the great tribulation come from and we don't want those. So it is that we better face the little problems that are going to come, being brave and hard-working; and then humanity will face those of the great tribulation that will be three and a half years. So we stay and accept the little problems that are already pointed out, and the ordeal that is pointed out, before the transformation. You have already been warned and as people say: "In warned war, people do not die." So it is that the seventh messenger also warned us with his visions, so that we know how we have to behave: "Courageously." Striving valiantly, pressing forward on that narrow but safe road; although the serpent, death, will want to get in to destroy; but we are already assured, by the visions that speak of what will happen, we are assured of victory. So we have a goal, and we look at the end of the business. Seeing the end of the business, then it fills us with joy and... I'm not going to say, like perhaps some, without, without knowing what it says, could say... Let's see if you eh how are you: How many want the test to come, the persecution, which is promised? . . . I didn't want her to come, hehe... because she's hard; rather, I would like the transformation and the resurrection to come without that proof. And only I can say one thing that someone who had to face a hard test said: "Pass this cup from me...if it is IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 19 ministry according to the order of Melchizedek at the end of time; the Ark of the Covenant on which are the two cherubs in updated form, which at the end of time represents the ministry of the two olive trees, of Moses and Elijah. The Ark of the Covenant will be what you and I have to follow to cross to the other side of the spiritual Jordan, to the other side of death, to go through death without seeing death. Death will have to stop for the chosen ones to pass to the other side. As Saint Paul said:“Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will all certainly not sleep(we will not die),but we will all be transformed, at the final trumpet; for the trumpet will be blown, and the dead will rise first. And then we who live will be transformed.” Remember also that when the people moved the Pillar of Fire moved; and the Ark of the Covenant was the first thing that moved when the Pillar of Fire moved; the people rose, the trumpets sounded. The two trumpets established by God were in the midst of the people to be used as established by God. For wars in a way; to call the people to a holy convocation, to a religious act, they were played in another way and so on. For the final time, the great trumpet voice, the final trumpet, is sounded to summon the people to: “The updated Jubilee year;” to summon the people to go to the Promised Land. The ark of the covenant is something that you and I have to be seeing where it is placed by God; we cannot lose sight of the ark of the covenant; because there will be the ministry that will get us into the promised land. Keep saying: “And they commanded the people, saying, When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests and the Levites that carry it, you shall depart from your place, and march after it. But between you and her there is distance as the measure of two thousand cubits; do not come near her, so that you may know the WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO twenty way by which you will go: because you have not passed by this way before now. And Joshua said to the people: Sanctify yourselves(and Apocalypse says: And the saint be sanctified still)for the Lord will do wonders among you tomorrow. Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take the ark of the covenant, and go before the people. And they took the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. Then the LORD said to Joshua, From this day on(after three days)...From this day I will begin to make you great in the eyes of all Israel, so that they understand that as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. You, then, will command the priests who carry the ark of the covenant, saying: When you have entered to the brink of the water of the Jordan, you will stop at the Jordan. And the story says: And it came to pass, as the people departed from their tents to cross the Jordan, and the priests carried the ark before the people, when those who carried the ark entered the Jordan, just as the feet of the priests who carried the ark were dipped in the water's edge." At the water's edge. The Jordan represents death. He only wetted, he says, the feet of the ministers, of the priests; but he did not flood them. In other words, if they had to go through the water, it represented death; If they only wet the edge or the uh…their feet, it represented that death was touching their heels, as we say. They had death already at their heels; but death could not hurt them, rather the Jordan stopped... the water, the Jordan that was coming down stopped; and the waters of the Jordan from there to there dried up, it ended and the people passed by. Representing that there will come a time when death will stop; it will stand aside and no more death will come upon the elect of God, and the ministers of God; because it will only touch the soles of your feet but no more than that. In other words, those who will be carrying the Ark of the Covenant will be about to die. And that is IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 33 Jordan so that we know where we stand, what things have to happen and how we have to act in these days. I announce to you that we are facing the Jordan, facing death, Faced with all that the enemy will try to do against all of us and the messenger, who sounds the trumpet, the great voice of a trumpet calling and gathering all the chosen ones. Or is it that you wanted things to be easy for all of us? The bigger things, the more important; the greater the blessing, the greater the trial, the persecution, and the enemy's attack so that you give up what you want to receive from God. But you and I will hold on tight to what God promised, as Jacob held on, as Jacob held on to the Angel who told him... and said to him: "I will not leave you until you bless me!" We do not want to be left without God's blessing. Jacob was going to face death too; Because Esau, Esau said, "When my father dies, I'm going to kill him." The same case. We are all here parallel to the time of Jacob, to the time of Joshua; and we are all living in our flesh the things that God said, promised for our time, and there are still some more to come. So the best is ahead, even if there are trials and persecutions. So I tell you there is a promised land, a new glorified body; but that there is also a great test which we have to face; and there I think it will be known who is who. It will be known who has really believed the message and who has not believed it. Or do you believe that just by saying: "I believe it, I believe it" (because you know that there is a great blessing, a transformation for all the elect), you believe that with that it is enough for you to say: "I already said that I believe and am I going to be transformed? It is necessary that we be tested, that we be tested to see if for some reason you stop believing what you say that you currently believe; because if there is something that makes you stop 32 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO generation that has passed. I would not like to count that generation from 48 to here; but if humanely and before the governments it is counted by… by men, then that the… well, it is counted; but then, if they say so, they delay what they can see or receive in the end time. All the promises of the promised land are after the generation of forty years that left the land of Egypt and came to the Jordan. And all the promises of transformation and resurrection are after the end of the generation that saw the Hebrew people establish themselves as a nation, fulfilling the parable of the fig tree turning green and then putting out its leaves. Where we are? In front of the Jordan, out of the generation that ended last year. Like Joshua and those who would enter the promised land, he was out of the generation of forty years that Moses led and who received manna from heaven every day. That is why God through Joshua had to repeat the passage of the Red Sea with the people again, passing the Jordan; as Moses crossed the Red Sea with the people, where God magnified Moses before the people, opening the Red Sea and passing all the people dry. Right there in type and figure, in memory of what Moses did there, parallel to what happened there, it happens in front of the Jordan, Joshua passing to the people. That is why God tells Joshua that it was the same as Moses did when he passed through the people parting the Red Sea. Opening the sea there, now Joshua had to open the sea again, the Jordan, to go to the promised land; because those who came out and crossed the sea there, did not enter the promised land, but those who were born after, had not seen God opening the waters. We are in a very, very important time. And this morning, on this day, or this morning, I am speaking to you according to what has been shown to me for this end time; and I am speaking to you as if this were the last message that I would preach to you. Placing them in front of the Jordan, knowing well the time and the place where we are. It is the first message of this year, which places us in front of the IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN twenty-one death trying to finish off the ministers who will be carrying the Ark that the people will be following, each one in the country that God has placed him The people depend on the Ark of the Covenant. And it depends on the ministers who carry the ark not to let go at any time even if they see the Jordan, death, touching the soles of his feet, even if they see death already touching his ankles. The people will be looking at the Ark of the Covenant to follow it. There is only one thing that can be said to each minister who carries the ark of the covenant in the end time, the same words that God said to Joshua: “Strive and be brave, because you are facing the Jordan, and the people have been destroyed. called to look at the ark of the covenant and walk behind the ark of the covenant.” And each minister has been called to hold the Ark of the Covenant on high, until crossing the Jordan with the dry people; until we pass through death; which will stand to one side; and on the other side it will be gone. But remember, as we approach the Jordan we will be approaching death; but death will be swallowed up in victory. When? At the end trumpet. Death will be absorbed with victory as we are transformed by passing to the other side, to the promises of the transformation of the glorified body without seeing death. We are facing the Jordan to cross it. The generation that had to end is over, if we count from 46 to here. The generation has already ended, here, in front of the Jordan, that Moses had brought to the front of the Jordan; and the manna that fell from heaven during that generation also finished falling; because they were going to enter the promised land where they already had the food that corresponded to that place. That is why the Scripture says that for 40 years God gave the people manna from heaven, for forty years; later it would be their feeding of what the promised land would be producing. We are living in a very important time. We are in a time parallel to the time when Joshua began his ministry, the time when God told him:“From this day I will begin to make you great in the eyes of all Israel." 22 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO Past the generation of forty years, which represents the generation that would not pass without seeing the sign of the Son of Man in heaven and hearing the great voice of the trumpet calling the elect; and which also represents the seven Stages or Ages of the Gentile Church. At the end of that generation, the Gentile Church Ages have completely ended. The time is over for the Gentiles. The time is now to begin a new stage in God's program to move into the promised land. It says that after that generation ended, the people still lived three days before crossing the Jordan, and after Moses had already died. Even after Moses died, the Hebrew people mourned for thirty days without going to the promised land; thirty days of mourning, then three more days that were quiet. And then we also find something that was carried out before crossing the Jordan. Now Joshua sent spies, then later he sent spies to... after God told him that he had to go over to the people, he sent spies, to the other side he sent two spies secretly and they still hadn't crossed the Jordan. So is that all this has a meaning in the divine program; which we will have to see later on as we look at the place where we are now, we are facing the Jordan. We cannot cross it swimming; a miracle has to happen. And that miracle is indicated in the Divine Program. And we have to be watching the ark of the covenant because with it we will go to the other side. And Joshua representing…representing the leader of the end of the time, which will take the chosen ones to the other side with whom the Ark of the Covenant will be, and there will be the ministers who will be carrying the Ark of the Covenant. You and I have to be awake at this hour because we don't want to die, we want to go to the other side, to the promised land, to the promised body to live for all eternity. But we have to be aware of where we stand in God's program. We are facing the Jordan. And on the day or time to cross the Jordan, death, he says, on this day, God says to IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 31 attack the person you are chasing. And all this the seventh messenger saw when he found himself on the map of Palestine, facing the Jordan, where we are now. We are facing the Jordan. When you see every attack against: "The messenger that He sends, that the Lord sends, with a loud trumpet call calling the elect," you and I will recognize that it is the serpent trying to attack the one with a loud trumpet call, in the final time, gather the chosen ones. We have already seen victory in the vision, in the two visions of: "The seventh messenger." Victory will be certain, though the battle will be hard. If he saw us with fear, with fear, wait for that moment to come. Therefore, strive and be brave. Just push yourself and be brave. Don't let another take…(blank in audio)…from your hands after you've had it for so long, because it's his. That blessing He promised it to you and you cannot afford to lose that blessing; because later you would say like Saul or Esau: "And is there no other blessing for me?" We cannot sell the blessing of the firstborn, of the firstborn of God, neither for fear, nor for a plate of lentils. But to be faithful, brave and hard-working in this end time. We are about to receive the transformation of our body. The generation that began in the year 1946 has already ended. This is the news that I bring you in my first message of the New Year 1987. And I hope that God counts, and I hope that God counts that generation that would see the greening of the fig tree, tell it from 46 to here. It was recognized by the United Nations (the fig tree) in 1948 and accepted by the United Nations. That was here humanly; before God in 46; because the Angel appeared to him, here among the Gentiles, to the seventh messenger. I told them that I didn't know if the transformation was before the end of the generation, or after that generation ended. If that generation is from 46 to here, then it is outside of that 30 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO that the chosen ones who have heard the great voice of the trumpet cannot enter the promised land. But I ask each one of you: Will we enter the promised land or…? ... (blank space in audio)…. I have good news for you, we will enter the promised land because it is a promise from God! Even though we are trembling with fear! But we will enter! We will enter because we will be watching and following the Ark of the Covenant to cross the Jordan at the end time. We will enter even if that serpent that represents death rises, using whoever it uses; And even if he attacks whoever he attacks, and puts or says or writes the letter of his name or his last name, even if he says the letter of the last name of the one he is persecuting, of the friend of: "The seventh messenger." It doesn't matter what the snake does or says; everything will be upside down contrary to how it is; everything will be working against it, even the attack. Using the letter, trying to use it for evil. But the doves that descended from heaven for the health of the body of the seventh messenger, that's why he is so grateful for the one who has that letter that calls him: "His friend." The doves made the letter correctly for the health of: "The body of the seventh messenger, which represented, that body represented the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is His Church." Now, see: The letter made to the right is for health, for life, for spiritual healing; the letter done backwards is for the death of the serpent and of those who are with him, spiritual death. So it is that we believe and receive the message that comes with that letter to the right, in the correct way; and we do not receive any message that comes with that letter saying it and quoting it backwards; because whoever quotes it to attack the friend of the seventh messenger, will always quote it in that way, making him believe that whoever writes the letter is the owner of the letter; but the owner of the letter, if he writes it, he has to do it to the right, in the correct way, because he knows that letter. But the enemy, well, he does it backwards to try to IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 23 Joshua: "I will magnify you before all Israel." So it is that even the 144,000 are going to see what God will be carrying out, through the end-time messenger, crossing the Jordan. All Israel is going to know what God is doing. God told him: "Do not fear or dismay, where you go, there I go with you" Why? Because the Ark of the Covenant, is the Ark where the Covenant of God is, the tables of the law, which will be updated in the final time and is the place of residence of God, according to what was established by Him. So wherever Joshua was, there was God, because Joshua was not leaving the Ark of the Covenant, but was directing the priests where they were to walk with the Ark of the Covenant. So: "Wherever you go I will go with you, I will not leave you nor will I forsake you." That is what God tells Joshua and he was not going to abandon the people either, because the people were following the ark of the covenant under the leadership of Joshua who was anointed by Moses. Now, they face the Jordan and we face the Jordan too. We are facing the Jordan and counting from 46 to 86 we say, that generation that began in 46 already ended last year; and we are beginning a new year, which does not belong to the generation that began in 1946.” And I say: and hopefully before God, the generation that would not pass, hopefully and God is also counting it from 1946, where the flag of Israel was raised, on May 7, 1946, in the land of Israel. And in North America the Angel of the Lord, on that same date, appeared to the seventh messenger of the seventh Gentile Church Age, anointed with the Spirit and virtue of Elijah for the fourth time, that ministerial spirit manifested on this earth. From 46 to here, if we count that ministry from 46 to here, or if we count from 33, where the Angel of the Lord appeared as a star when he was baptizing there in the river there in Indiana, if we count from 33 in 1963 it was 40 years old there. Or seventy... seventy-three... 73, by 74 something was beginning in God's program, which was fully seen in 75, and in 1 24 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO 76 was already fully established; and already in 1986 he had been ten to twelve years old; in God's end-time program that will take the elect and call the elect or would call the elect with a loud trumpet call, and prepare them to arrive in front of the Jordan, and cross the Jordan without seeing death because Saint Paul said: “To the last trumpet; for the trumpet of God will be played, and the dead will rise first; and then those of us who live will be transformed.” When? The transformation of the living and the resurrection of the dead will be after the end of the generation of which Jesus spoke, which would see the fig tree (Israel) flourish. Everything has already been seen; It only remains to cross the Jordan. We are facing the Jordan (facing the spiritual Jordan); but with the ark of the covenant, under the leadership of: The Lord Jesus Christ who said that he would send the Angel his messenger to bear witness to these things, and thus all pass to the promised land. It will be… it is a new stage for us; It is a stage where some of you may feel a bit afraid, fearful, because we are going to face the Jordan and we are going to cross dry; but to the ministers... harvest) And the crossing of the Jordan was at harvest time (of the and the crossing of the Jordan, spiritually speaking, to enter into the new earth, the new glorified body, is in the harvest time of the elect who with a loud trumpet call are gathered, reaped, as the Lord Jesus Christ said through His Angels, who with a loud trumpet call they would call all the chosen ones and place us in front of the Jordan to cross over to the other side. To the ministers, when you see that the Jordan is wetting the soles of your feet (and remember that the Jordan represents death), do not be afraid. What you see for the moment as something of death (because the Jordan represents death), will be so that death stops and does not touch you, and we pass to the other side alive and safe. As the prophet Malachi says: “And to those who fear my Name, the Sun of justice will rise; and on his wings he will bring health, IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 29 safe." So we will do as the seventh messenger did: We will raise our hands to God and ask that God have mercy on him; because having mercy on him, he will be having mercy on all of us, who need to go to the promised land, being transformed. We are facing the Jordan. There is only one thing, the same thing that God said to Joshua: “Be strong and be brave;” because they were facing the Jordan, facing death. It will also be for the friend and brother of the seventh messenger and for all the chosen ones that he will have called and collected with the great voice of a trumpet. Each chosen one at this time, listen to what God said to Joshua: “Only make an effort and be brave. Do not be afraid, and strive." When we talk about making an effort and being brave, it is because it will be hard to get what we are waiting for, but not impossible; because when the time comes to obtain something that God has promised, it is obtained, even if the enemy opposes it; because always what… what he opposes, that the children of God obtain the blessing that God has for them. Now, if you don't make an effort and are brave, you will never reach the transformation of the living and the resurrection of the dead where we will see them in the end time. So he will neither see the dead when they rise, nor will he be changed. But we want to be transformed and we want to see the dead… (Blank space in the audio)…being afraid and walking backwards is not an advantage for us, it would be of no use. So there is very little left. The generation that began in 1946 has already ended and we are beginning in 1987, a new stage of the divine program to cross the Jordan. Only that you make an effort and be brave and the same for me; because if he saw us all with fear, frightened, it is because what is coming is going to frighten anyone who is on that narrow path; but it is the way of God. But that they will be attacked, and mainly the messenger of that narrow path will be attacked by the enemy, for 28 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO from the enemy before the resurrection of the dead and transformation of the living, in front of the Jordan; because in front of the Jordan is to be in front of death, and it is to be in front of the serpent that will attack the friend of: "The fourth Elijah." It is necessary that we understand these things so that we are not so scared, although in the vision… in the vision the fourth Elijah saw all of us scared; but the attack, they saw that it was against one of those who were there. Because the devil always knows what the Scripture says: "I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter." That is why the… whom Elias protected was that friend and brother of his; because he was the leader of all that was there on that narrow road that was higher up, in a higher age or dispensation; but that they were facing the Jordan to cross over to the other side, being transformed and the dead being raised. How will it jump? according to the vision, how will he jump in the air? I dont know. But I know that if he jumped… if he saw him jumping, in some way he would be jumping in the air, until the danger passed. So in the way he fights to escape, that will be the way that means what the messenger and prophet of the seventh Church Age saw. So he there he says that he will be jumping in the air fleeing the attacks of: "The enemy." Moses also fled when death wanted to catch up with him; and he fled, and met God afterwards. Elijah, when death wanted to catch up with him, when Jezebel wanted to kill him, he fled to the mountain of God, to Mount Sinai, and there he met God. And here in the vision, the friend and brother of the seventh messenger, fleeing from the serpent's attacks, says that he flees by leaping into the air. So he will know how to escape until by the Word of God, by the spoken Word, the enemy attacks, and the enemy is paralyzed, and cannot attack anyone at all, and the resurrection of the dead and the transformation take place. of the living So when we see him running away from the attacks, he will be doing it for the good of the whole group. Because the seventh messenger said: "If that snake bites you, it is death." IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 25 salvation." It will be for health, salvation; it will be for the transformation of our bodies and the resurrection of the dead to come. Don't be afraid of the Jordan; because the enemy will come like a river to destroy; but the Lord will raise up a standard against him. He will raise a flag and death will be stopped; and we will pass away, we will be transformed, after we have heard the message of a loud trumpet voice. That is the mystery of the great voice of the Trumpet, of the final message, that the Lord will be giving us in the end time, in a ministry parallel to that of Joshua. We are facing the Jordan. Death will try to destroy the ministers because: "...I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." But the ministers will go forward with the ark of the covenant, with the end-time message, and with all that that entails. The Jordan, even though it is currently overflowing, the enemy even though it is overflowing with death to destroy the elect and the ministers who will be carrying the ark of the covenant, death will not destroy them, if they keep a good grip on the ark of the covenant; and it will not destroy the elect, if they keep looking and following the ark of the covenant. It is the only way established by God to go to the other side of the Jordan, to the other side of death. There's no other way; and since there is no other way, we cannot follow another way, but the one that God has already established. We are waiting for the promised land, the new body that is that promised land for us and we are going to receive it; we are going to enter it full of joy and happiness. With this it agrees, this of being in front of the Jordan and of: "The confrontation with the Jordan." The prophecies of the prophets of the past who spoke of this time of the resurrection and transformation of the elect agree with this. With this also agree the words and visions of the last messenger and prophet of the Gentile Church; seventh prophet, seventh messenger of the seventh Gentile Church Age. When he saw, when he was seen that he was walking towards the Jordan. He then found himself facing the Jordan. In its 26 WILLIAM SOTO SANTIAGO camino says that he had already walked two-thirds of the way and he saw where he had walked, the road, the path by which he had gotten there; and he was like in the map of Palestine, facing, looking there towards the Jordan. And he looked back, and seen where he had come to that place. And he found himself as in the time when the people had to cross the Jordan. And he says that it was built a little higher up, on a very narrow road. (Not by the road that he had come from, the road that he had gotten there, but another road, higher up; because the road or road where he had walked was the ministerial road that he had had under that ministry. In other words, , the path in the Age that it was his turn to minister). He he walked that path of the seventh Gentile Church Age But once he had said: “There is coming a rider on a white horse; A rider on a white horse will rise from the west and we will walk this path once more.” It will be the path of Elijah, the ministry of Elijah traveling again with that Rider who rises from the west on a white horse, also showing in Revelation 19 a rider on a white horse. And that rider who stands up is not Elias. Elijah sees him, in the fourth manifestation of him; and he sees another ministry rise up on a white horse from the west, the ministry of Moses for the second time. And the ministry of Elijah says, through his fourth manifestation: "I will walk once more..." With whom? With the. "We tour once more." The ministry of Elijah for the fifth time traveling with the ministry of Moses in the divine path, the path, that highway. When he is pulled up, he finds himself on a very narrow road with a brother and a friend. He said that they would walk again, that he would walk the path again; but they took him up higher on a path, on a road, where there was someone who was walking that road; but that he had some problems there. And the people that were with him were afraid; because something was happening. He says that everyone was afraid. But who he refers to directly is a brother, a friend; and he says that he did not know him. Well, Elijah never met Moses; only through IN FRONT OF THE JORDAN 27 the story and perhaps through some vision like the fourth Elijah says that he saw a brother, a friend and did not know him; and it was a vision. And that is for the end of time, when they meet in front of the Jordan. And he says that a giant snake was moving and trying to attack his friend, chasing him and trying to attack him; and Elijah appeared on the scene to help his friend. So it is that those ministries there unite to face the problem that the messenger is going to have, and the chosen ones of that time who will find themselves as in Palestine, or as in the land there in front of the Jordan, to cross the Jordan and enter into the promised land. (That was a type of what will be happening in our time). So it is that the time that we are living will be the time in which death too, in the form of that serpent that he saw, will try to attack the messenger who will be taking the people to the promised land by crossing… to cross the Jordan. That's why he prayed for that friend, for that brother he never met. If it had been one of the people he knew, he would have said his name and that he knew him; but he says, "I didn't know him." Not only in that vision, but in another vision he also speaks of a snake that was chasing his friend (he calls him his friend, his brother); and although he did not know him, because she was his friend and he was his brother. And he says he prayed for him, and spoke the Word; and then all the enemy's attack was unsuccessful on his friend and brother. The prophets are brothers and they are the best of friends. There too, later on, you will find that the death that will try to destroy the messenger that will take the people to the promised land, will be making a letter backwards. You already saw it in the vision. They also saw how by doing this it is that death, represented in the serpent, (and in those who allow themselves to be used by the enemy) is also where every attack will end, and then the blessing of the transformation of the living will come, happening first the resurrection of the dead. But the last attack will come
