THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD

Introduction:

The subject of the Second Coming of the Lord has been one of the most vital subjects among message believers in these last days. One group is waiting for the Coming of Lord and another group is claiming that the Coming of the Lord has already happened. Both groups’ position is based on certain “Quotes” from the Prophet’s Message.

In addition, each group claims to have the truth and wants the other group to provide “clear statement that Jesus has already come or not yet come.” For sure, there would be no quote written in the way each person expects it to be in order to settle the matter. Same thing how the Bible is written, never in the way each person wants it but it is God’s Word and it must come by REVELATION.

Before we present these quotes, we want to assure everyone that when there is a question in the Word of God, it always requires a Revelation because the Bible says: “letter killeth but the Spirit giveth it life” (Second Corinthians 3:6). In the Bible, it’s written clearly black and white that “baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost…(Matthew 28:19) but in Acts 2:38 “… be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ…” is there any contraction? Certainly no but it requires once again a Revelation. Both groups get it.

Jesus Himself said in Matthew 11:25 “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” That’s God’s wisdom and perfect will for His Word to be known only by Revelation not by people’s intellect. Again it must be a Revelation to reconcile both ways of thinking.

Even in Brother Branham’s Message, it’s still the same way. You might find quote stating that the prophet himself is waiting for the Coming of Lord until 1965 as many want to refer to it that way. You might also find quotes saying that Jesus should come as the seventh messenger is still on the earth in order to introduce Him to the people. You cannot ignore one and insist on the other and vice versa. It only takes true called ministers to bring the light to the people by divine revelation not by war of words or simple affiliation to one group. On the other side, ministers should not ignore the topic either because it’s vital.

What about quotes in the Message for example Brother Branham himself said that “he is not a prophet”? Or he is “looking for a prophet to come …” does this affect any of the two groups? Certainly no because they both accept the same prophet and believe that he has already come despite the existing of quotes saying by brother Branham himself that he is not a prophet and he is looking for one to come. Why there is no argument about if William Branham is a prophet and they should no expect another prophet to come? It’s a Revelation and will always be a revelation not just quotes.

In closing this introduction, surprisingly, both groups believe that the seven seals or the seven thunders of Revelation 10 are revealed but are just debating about the Second Coming of the Lord. Are the seven seals or the seven thunders connected with the Second Coming of the Lord? Did Brother Branham himself preach sermon(s) titled “The Second Coming of the Lord” and “The seven seals” or the “The Seven Thunders?” if yes what are they about? If no why not?

The Second Coming of the Lord should be a Personal Divine Revelation not a War of Quotes “it’s written…” and every one can choose which one better fit his situation.

In the lines to follow, we have done the best we could just to present key points but certainly not all. In addition, for every section, there could be more quotes, but we could not present all of them in every section, but if you can find more, that’s certainly a plus.

THE.SECOND.COMING.OF.THE.LORD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-2 WEDNESDAY_ 57-0417

17 Now, in the blessed Word, I wish to read just a–a verse, or a line or two, out of St. Luke’s Gospel, and the 15th chapter, the 8th verse:

Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she shall lose one piece, does not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she has found it?

And when she has found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

18 Now, that may seem like a very odd Scripture for the second coming of Christ, and–but it’s speaking of the second coming of Christ. And this great subject that we have here before us now is one of the most vital subjects in the entire holy Writ. There’s nothing so important as the coming of the Lord Jesus. For if He does not come, we have been found false witnesses, our dead that’s in the grave are perished, and there is no hope left for us if Jesus doesn’t come visibly the second time. And in the very–this light, in the very light of the second coming, was so important, that this holy week that we are now approaching, that Jesus, when He was approaching it at the first time in the very shadows of the cross, He spoke very little of His death, burial, and resurrection. He spoke more on His second coming than He did on His death, burial, and resurrection. So in the light of this, it must be a very important subject.

In the Old Testament there is many times more Scriptures in the Old Testament pertaining to the second coming of Christ than there was to the first coming of Christ. Everything to the human race, now after the atonement has been made, rests solemnly upon the second coming of the Lord.

WHEN.THEIR.EYES.WERE.OPENED.THEY.KNEW.HIM_ TULARE.CA V-22 N-10 WEDNESDAY_ 64-0212

62 You might think, “Well, He healed so-and-so, the other day. He, last month, I know, two years ago, I seen…” Yeah, He might act like He is going to pass you by, but He is only wanting you to–to invite Him. He makes out like He is going to pass. What He was then, He is today. What He does then, He does today. He said so. Notice, you must do the same thing, you’ve got to invite Him in. It was then, and only then, that He could reveal Himself.

63 He couldn’t do it by preaching them the Word. It went over top their head. Him walking on there, saying, “Well, you ought to a knowed there, you fools, slow of heart. The Bible said these things, that Christ must do these things, and so forth.” Walking along there, well, look like they’d a-seen that’s Who it was. He never come right out and told them, “I am He.” You get a guy that does that, then you knowed there is nothing to Him, to begin with. But He just let the Holy Spirit reveal it. He told us.

MODERN.EVENTS.ARE.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY_ SBD.CA V-7 N-6 MONDAY_ 65-1206

268 Known as… know… Watch how He made Hisself known to these people, now, remember, as their Messiah (just before we close) of the promised Word of the age. Notice! He appeared unto, to the… as He has said He’d do, to the prophets. Notice, “Fools, and slow of heart to believe that all the prophets has wrote of Him had to be fulfilled.”

269 Watch Him! He refers right back to the Word of God, He never come right out and told them, “Don’t you know Me? I am the Messiah that’s resurrected.” He never said that. See, He just give them the Scripture; like John did, and the rest of them. See? He just… They have to pick that out themselves. They have to judge for theirselves. Now, don’t go to sleep, judge for yourself.

Section 1: ARE THE SEVEN SEALS WHICH EQUAL SEVEN THUNDERS ALREADY REVEALED OR NOT? FOR THIS SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE COMING OF THE LORD.

Personal notes:

Seven seals equal seven thunders (seven mysteries).
Seven seals (seven thunders) must be revealed at the Coming of the Lord
The silence of the Seventh Seal (Rev. 8:1) is the Coming of the Lord.

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.4_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 64-0830E

1161-Q-395 395. Have the seven thunders which equals seven mysteries already been revealed? Were they revealed in the seven Seals, but are yet–but are yet not known to us as the thunders yet?

No, they were revealed in the seven Seals; that’s what the thunders was about. They was to reveal… The seven thunders that had uttered their voices and no one could make out what it was… John knew what it was, but he was forbidden to write it. He said, “But the seventh angel, in the days of his sounding, the seven mysteries of the seven thunders would be revealed.” And the seventh angel is a messenger of the seventh church age. See?

GOD.HIDING.HIMSELF.IN.SIMPLICITY_ ALBQ.NM FRIDAY_ 63-0412E

302 Something happened the other day. You read, or heard the tape, “the seven thunders,” What Time Is It, Sir? See? It happened the other day. You know these things. The time is at hand, church. The time is at hand. Don’t, don’t, don’t wait any longer. See?

303 How do you know the Rapture is not going on all the time? First thing you know, it’ll be past, one disappearing here and there. It’ll be gone, the first thing you know. And you’ll… Judgment will strike the world. You say, “Well, I–I thought this.” “It’s too late now.”

304 Remember, they didn’t know it until the day they entered into the ark, and then it was too late. The foolish virgin didn’t know until she come back and found the wise virgin gone, then she was left for the Tribulation period.

327-1 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE – CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9

Now this messenger of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things. One: According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers. Two: He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the seven seals. It will be these Divinely revealed ‘mystery-truths’ that literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. Exactly so.

THE.FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 SUNDAY_ 64-0719M

175 Notice, two thou-… hundred thousand demons turned loose upon those Jews, when they burned them, they crucified them. They put bubbles in their veins. They killed them, till they had no more gas to kill them with. And they shot them, till they had no more bullets to shoot with. And they–and they done everything they could do. They cremated their bodies, and everything; and hung on fences, children and all, innocent people. Because they were Jews, they were done that way. But God said He give each one of them a robe, undeserving as they was; but His grace to blind them so that we could see.

176 The Seventh Seal hasn’t opened yet, you know. That’s His Coming.

THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0324E

575-4 {390} Notice, there is a whole earth is to be purged. There will be such a thing that the moon, stars, and all nature will be purged. You see what it is? The earth is renewing herself, being purged, getting ready for the millennium. The millennium’s coming up. And see, everything that’s got any filth in it is to be purged during the Sixth Seal.

Now, now, do you notice on the opening of this Seventh Seal, it’s also in a threefold mystery. This one I have–will speak and have spoke, that it is the mystery of the seven thunders. The seven thunders in heaven will unfold this mystery. It’ll be right at the coming of Christ, because Christ said no one knew when He would return.

THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E

560-4 {275} And did you notice that one Angel, I said in there, was a strange Angel? He looked more to me than any of the rest of them. You remember that? They were in a constellation–three on a side and one on top. And the one right next to me here, counting from the left to the right, would’ve been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of them. You remember, I said he had his chest out like that, and was flying eastward. You remember like that? And I said, “It picked me up, lifted me up.” Do you remember that?

THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E

561-1 {276} Here it is. The one with the Seventh Seal, the thing that I’ve wondered all my life. Amen. Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you don’t know what this has meant. For one time in life… I prayed; I cried out to God. I–I–I–after that Phoenix meeting, any of the people there with me know; I laid in the mountains. One morning I got up and went up in Sabino Canyon; it’s a great rugged high mountains. And I’d went up in there, and there was a little foot trail after you lead off–go on up into Lemmon Mountain which is a thirty mile walk, and there about thirty foot of snow up there.

SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M

136 And remember, in that Sixth Seal, where, all Seven Trumpets sounds under that Sixth Seal. When we get to that, you’ll see that. Every (seven) Trumpet took place in that Sixth Seal.

137 The seven is always the mystery. Watch that seven, that’s the finish. That was the Coming of the Lord. Heaven was quiet, silent, nobody moved. Because, Jesus said Himself, “Not even an Angel of Heaven knows when I will return. I don’t even know it, Myself, what time. The Father has put that in His mind.” God alone knows it, the Spirit. Said, “I didn’t know it.” Then, it wasn’t revealed. When that Seventh Trumpet sounded… or the Seventh Angel, a–a Seal was opened, then there was silence in the Heaven. See, it wasn’t give away, what would take place.

SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M

156 Notice, it was to be the seventh angel’s Message that was to reveal the seventh, the Seven Seals. Revelation 10:7, now, you’ll find it. See?

157 “And he saw this Angel come down, put His foot on the land and on the sea,” that was Christ, “had a rainbow over His head.” Notice Him, you’ll find Him in Revelation 1, again, “with the rainbow over His head; look upon as jasper and sardius,” and so forth. Here He come, put one hand… “One foot upon the land, one upon the water; raised up His hand. He had a rainbow over His head,” yet. That’s a covenant. He was the Covenant Angel, which was Christ; made a little lower than the Angels, to suffer. There He come, “And put His hands up to Heaven, and swore by Him that lives forever and ever,” the Eternal One, the Father, God, “that time shall be no more,” when this takes place. It’s run out. It’s done. It’s finished.

SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M

158 And then the Scripture says, “And at–at the Message of the seventh earthly angel,” the messenger on earth, the seventh and last Church Age, “at the beginning of his ministry,” when it starts off into the earth, at that time, “the mystery of God, of these Seven Seals, should be made known by that time.” Now we see where we’re at. Could it be, friends, could it be? Notice, all possible.

SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M

159 All that had been redeemed in the Book, He come forth for redemption. All that was to be redeemed was in the Book, predestinated before the foundation of the world. He come to redeem It. All He had redeemed was written therein.

SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M

160 I want to ask you a question now. And you people on tape, listen close. Them hideous eyes, that hideous head, could that be why that this Message has been so against women of modern age? Could this be that last angel’s Message? What did He say down there at the river, about thirty-three years ago? “As John was sent forth,” see, “to announce the first coming of Christ, your Message will announce the second Coming.” Around the world, and that’s what it’s done, then the Coming must be at hand. Watch what’s happens now.

SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M

208 The Lamb took His Book when, the Seventh Seal just ready for it to be opened, the Sixth Seal. Remember, He hid the Seventh Seal from us. He wouldn’t do it. When the Angel stood, day by day, telling it, but then He wouldn’t do it on that one. Said, “There is silence in Heaven.” No one knew. It was the Coming of the Lord.

“Oh,” you say, “it can’t be.” I hope it isn’t.

209 Just let’s go just a little farther here. I got something wrote down, see. All right.

SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M

344 Tape people, that’s you that’s listening to this tape, I wish you could look at this congregation at this time. Uh-huh. I hope you’re feeling the same way.

345 What if it is? Look at the Scriptures piled in here. Could it be? Is the Third Pull to preach to the Eternal doomed that’s rejected the Message of salvation?

346 “Well,” you say, “the church is going…” Yeah, they will. They’ll go right on, just the same.

347 But, remember, all this time, Noah was in the ark. The Bride is sealed in with Christ, the last member has been redeemed. The Sixth Seal has produced itself. The Seventh Seal brings Him back to earth. The Lamb come and took the Book out of the right hand of Him, and set down and claimed what He owned, what He had redeemed. That right? It’s always been that Third Pull.

WHAT.SHALL.I.DO.WITH.JESUS.CALLED.CHRIST_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-6 SUNDAY_ 63-1124M

182 And who would dare to say that wasn’t the inspired Word of God, when He foretold It here, and sent out yonder to Arizona and brought It right back, even with science and everything else, and proved It so! This Book is already opened, that’s right, just waiting for the Seventh Seal to be identified of the Coming of Christ.

THERE.IS.A.MAN.HERE.THAT.CAN.TURN.ON.THE.LIGHT_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-1229M

24 Now I see you’re changing seats with each other, and–and out in the halls, and so forth. We wish we just had place to set down.

And now when we have those Trumpets, that’s… we want to get the high school gymnasium. I think it seats fifty-five hundred, and then we’d have a chance, too, everybody to have a seat, and set down and listen quietly while we’re–while we’re preaching.

25 Or, this, the Trumpets, they’re very, very fine. I looking at it the other day. See, on the Sixth Seal, all Seven Trumpets sounds right there on that Sixth Seal, see, just before the Seventh Seal opens the Coming of Christ.

BROKEN.CISTERNS_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-13 SUNDAY_ 64-0726E

158 Praying that God will so richly bless each of you, that His grace and mercy will be with you through the coming week. And if anything should happen, that one of you may slip beyond the veil now, just remember that it’s only a few hours of sleep and rest until we meet. Remember, that, “They which are alive and remain shall not hinder those which are sleeping, for the Trump of God, that last Trumpet…” The sixth one has just sounded. And that last Trumpet, like the last Seal, will be the Coming of the Lord. “It shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” Just resting till that time.

SHALOM_ SIERRA.VISTA.AZ V-13 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0112

170 We heard the Word say that, “In the days of the seventh angel.” In the Church Age, He just said, “The seventh angel’s Message would be the last Message.” And then, oh, we find out over here in Revelation 10, “In the days of the Message of the seventh angel, the mysteries of God should be finished,” the Seventh Seal would be pulled back. It should be there. Then all at once, when it’s happening, a vision broke, said, “Go to Tucson, a great noise will take place at this time so you’ll be thoroughly understanding and know that it’s sent. It’ll just shake the earth, nearly.” All of you know about it. It’s on tape, months before it happened. Then it happened! Then appeared in the sky. “Shalom!” What is it? It’s a-changing beats, the sympathy.

SHALOM_ SIERRA.VISTA.AZ V-13 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0112

171 Then one time He said about the Third Pull; how it would come by this one way, then by knowing the heart, and then the spoken Word.

THE.FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 SUNDAY_ 64-0719M

147 The–the gathering of Israel is the Trumpets. The Trumpets is to gather Israel. Notice, the very First Trumpet sound; blood, fire, hail, and everything, scatter the ground. See? What was He doing? Bringing Israel out of spiritual Egypt, see, back into his homeland.

148 Now let me say this right here, that, every Trumpet that blowed, blowed under the Sixth Seal. We’ll get to it in a few minutes, where we caught the Seal there. All the Trumpets sounded under the Sixth Seal.

149 Because, the Seventh Seal, there was silence. “No one knew; that was the minute or hour that Christ would come,” as He revealed it to us.

CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728

106 God’s great mystery of how, it’s a secret. He kept it a secret. Nobody knowed nothing about it. Even the Angels didn’t understand it. See, He didn’t reveal it. That’s the reason, under our seventh mystery, when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence. Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said, “It’s not… Even the Son Himself don’t know when it’s going to happen.” See, God has this all to Himself. It’s a secret. And that’s the reason there was silence in Heaven for a space of a half hour, and seven thunders utter their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it, see, the Coming of the Lord. That’s one thing He hasn’t revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come. It’s a good thing that He doesn’t. No.

SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M

136 And remember, in that Sixth Seal, where, all Seven Trumpets sounds under that Sixth Seal. When we get to that, you’ll see that. Every (seven) Trumpet took place in that Sixth Seal.

137 The seven is always the mystery. Watch that seven, that’s the finish. That was the Coming of the Lord. Heaven was quiet, silent, nobody moved. Because, Jesus said Himself, “Not even an Angel of Heaven knows when I will return. I don’t even know it, Myself, what time. The Father has put that in His mind.” God alone knows it, the Spirit. Said, “I didn’t know it.” Then, it wasn’t revealed. When that Seventh Trumpet sounded… or the Seventh Angel, a–a Seal was opened, then there was silence in the Heaven. See, it wasn’t give away, what would take place.

A.GUIDE_ JEFF.IN V-12 N-7 SUNDAY_ 62-1014E

35 And the Holy Spirit always speaks of the Word. “I’ve got many things to tell you, you cannot understand it now, but when He comes, He’ll guide you to it.” That’s the reason the coming of the Seals. At the finishing of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of God should be finished to know Who God is, what He is, how He lives, His nature, His Being. You’re supposed to be all the way up here by that time (See?), bring us into the full statue of sons and daughters of God, a Church that’s washed in the Blood of Christ, that’s bought without money, is paid for by the Blood of Jesus Christ.

THE.FIRST.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318

142-3 {171} But now the Lamb is showing John in the symbol of s–of a–of a church Scripture like, for the church (you know) what to write. He just show him, said, “Now, don’t–don’t tell this, just what it is. Don’t go down, John, and say, ‘Now, this is just what this is.’ Now, what’s under this Seventh Seal, don’t–don’t go down and tell that, for if I tell John that, then all down through the age the whole plan will be broke: it’s a secret.” See? He just wants to…

His coming… He said, “I–I… Nobody’s going to know when I’m coming; I’m just coming.” See, see? That’s all. It ain’t for my business to know when, I’ll just be ready. You see? So…

REVELATION.CHAPTER.FIVE.2_ JEFF.IN ROJC 747-793 SUNDAY_ 61-0618

207 The seven and last one of these seals, when they’re opened, is found in Revelations the 10th chapter; there was a mighty Angel (which was Christ) came down and put one foot on the land and one on the sea, and raised up His hand, and says, “The day is finished. Time is run out. It’s all over. Time shall be no more.”

And He said at the sounding of the… At this time the mystery of God should be finished: Who God is, and how He was made manifest; how when that seal was opened, how we begin to understand now how that He was the Son of God; He was God Himself made flesh; and the revelation of Who He is; that should be finished before this Angel can put His feet upon the land and sea and swear that there’ll be time no more when this time comes. We’re right in that front yard of it right now. See?

The last one of them is Revelations 10, foot on land and on sea; time had run out; redemption is over; now He comes in as the Lion. He was a Lamb then; now He comes in as Lion of the tribe of Juda.

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.ON.THE.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324M

466-4 {66} Now, we come back with the Seals and open that Seal… God opens that Seal for us. What’s that? First there’s a messenger: church age; next is the Seven Seals.

Now, we find out the corruption that hits in the seventh church age… But the Seventh Seal doesn’t reveal anything, what’s going to happen to it (See?), because at the end of that church age is to come a prophetic gift to reveal these things. See? Are you following it? All right.

THE.ANOINTED.ONES.AT.THE.END.TIME_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-3 SUNDAY_ 65-0725M

262 Notice, the very day when this messenger… Not when he starts on, but when he begins to declare his Message. See? The First Pull, healing; Second Pull, prophesying; Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed. No more, there is no more higher order to reveal the Word, than prophets. But the only way the prophet can be vindicated is by the Word. And, remember, the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals, to reveal the hidden Truth that’s been sealed in the Word. Do you see it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”–Ed.]

It is then, in that day when this thing is to take place, that Jannes and Jambres, the impersonators, will appear again. Just like they did when Moses appeared with the original Word, to say It; they appear to impersonate It. Just exactly right. Now you see what Matthew 24:24 is? See, anointed ones!

WHAT.IS.THE.ATTRACTION.ON.THE.MOUNTAIN_ JEFF.IN V-8 N-8 SUNDAY_ 65-0725E

148 What’s happened upon Mount Sunset? God confirming His Word. That’s what all this noise is about. Notice, it’s God fulfilling His promised Word again, of Revelations 10:1 to 7, “And in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel’s Message, the mystery of God should be finished.” The hidden mystery of Revelations 10:1 to 7, the last Message to the last church age. Fulfills exactly, in this age, Saint Luke 17:30, “The day when the Son of man shall be revealed.”

149 “And there shall rise false prophets and false Christs, show great signs and wonders, insomuch it’d deceive the Elected if possible.” The people still in doubt. And, as usual, the church is just as puzzled.

WHAT.IS.THE.ATTRACTION.ON.THE.MOUNTAIN_ JEFF.IN V-8 N-8 SUNDAY_ 65-0725E

150 And the science, all through Tucson yet, they’re writing pieces and put in the paper. Way back over there on Mount Lemmon, them big cameras didn’t see It rising up from where we was standing; drifting on towards the West, showing the time is over. It can’t go but a little piece there; it’s at the West Coast. Judgment struck just in the very way it went. Going right up over Phoenix and right on across, on to Prescott and across the mountains to the West Coast, right on up into… Where was they going? Right on up into Alaska, and she is thundering, heading right that way.

WHAT.IS.THE.ATTRACTION.ON.THE.MOUNTAIN_ JEFF.IN V-8 N-8 SUNDAY_ 65-0725E

151 And the observatories and all of them in Tucson are still asking, research of science trying to find out what it is. So high they can’t be fog, mist, or nothing up there. “What did it? Where is it at?” They’re just as puzzled of that supernatural Halo hanging yonder in the sky as they was when the Magis come in following a Star, saying, “Where is He that’s born King of the Jews?” What was it? God fulfilling His Word, “And there shall rise a star out of Jacob.”

152 And the God of heaven promised the evening time would have evening Light. Three years ago this mystery was a prophecy, “What time is it, sir?” But now it’s history. It’s passed. The promise is fulfilled. What time is it, sir, and what’s this attraction? God fulfilling His Word! He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let us pray.

THE.SEED.IS.NOT.HEIR.WITH.THE.SHUCK_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-4 THURSDAY_ 65-0218

151 The Word, yet young, spake for Itself, “And know not that I must be about My Father’s business?” Huh!

152 There is the secret of the Message now, just exactly, “the Father’s business.” What is the Father’s business?

Could you think of what the Father’s business was, in Him? To fulfill what Isaiah said, “A virgin shall conceive.” Fulfill what Isaiah, said again, “The lame shall leap like a hart,” and all these thing would take place. Like Moses said, “The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet, among you, liken unto me.” It was the Father’s business, to fulfill that Word.

Well, if that come down through them stalks, of them natural women; what about these stalks of these spiritual, church women? Churches means women, women means “churches,” rather. Is that right?

Then what is it now? “We must be about the Father’s business,” the Wheat would cry back, the Grain. Yes, sir. What must it do? Vindicate Malachi 4, vindicate Luke 17:30, vindicate Hebrews 13:8, vindicate Saint John 14:12, vindicate all of His Word. Vindicate Hebrews, I mean… Revelations, the 10th chapter, of the opening of the Seven Seals, and the mysteries of God; even to serpent’s seed, and all, would be manifested; marriage and divorce and all these other mysteries that’s been hid under the pillars for all these years, from the theologians and so forth, but it’s now the hour. That’s the Father’s business.

Think they would receive It? They want to be dignified, and say, “Our denomination don’t teach us That.” But the Bible does. That’s right.

156 Don’t be deceived, “He has already come, and they did to Him what was list.” See? But they think there’s a revival. Is it happening? No! It’s done, and dead, it’s over. Uh-huh.

Now, lamp-trimming time, “Rise and trim your lamps.” What watch was that? The seventh, not the sixth. The seventh, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh. Rise and trim your lamps.” And they did. Some of them found they didn’t even have any Oil in their lamp. See? But it’s lamp-trimming time.

It’s Malachi-4 time. What He prom-… Is Luke 17. It’s–it’s Isa-… All those prophecy that It can perfectly set in order for this day, in the Scripture, we see it living right there. There’s no…

50-6 Is the hour, has it arrived, my brethren. I don’t say it has. I don’t know, but I’m asking you. I want you to think. Or will this be the time when it will be again, “Behold, the Lamb of God,” or the time of Malachi 4, to return the hearts of the children back to the faith of our fathers. Will it be such a blast that will–that will do such mighty things until it’ll set the church, that has been sloping, and cannot understand the mysteries of God, and so forth; when they see that mighty blast sweep forth, will it turn their hearts back to the fathers as the Bible said it would do? Or was this the message already past, that should’ve done it? I don’t know. This is the sign of the end time, sirs. Or is this the sign that it’s over? It looks very Scriptural to me. I don’t know.

463-2 {41} Now, the first one here.

1. Are the five wise virgins of Matthew 25 attendants to the–to the Bride, or are they the Bride? (See?) If these wise virgins are attendants to the Bride, where is the Bride? (See?)

Now, to the best of my understanding, these five virgins… There were ten of them, you know, that went out (See?), and this here is only a symbol or a parable (See?), that–that I’m going to tell you. See, there were ten of them. ‘Course, there were more than ten; that was just made a number.

But then, the–the wise virgins had oil in their lamps; the unwise did not have oil in their lamps. So if that ten there of Matthew (if this is the–the person’s question), if those ten there… Did that mean that that would be the… Or these five rather, that would be just five (See?), just five people?

No, it doesn’t mean that. It’s just a symbol of the virgins (You see?) of the virgin that went out with oil in her lamp; they are a portion of that Bride. And to my understanding, and then you notice now that they was the virgins of the last watch.

463-4 {45} Coming down through the watches, there’d been seven watches. And in the seventh watch, the midnight hour, as we’re on–striking now… See? Now, in this midnight watch, these virgins woke, and trimmed their lamps, and went in, while the sleeping virgin…

Now, this part here, this five (if that’s the meaning of the question was–meaning, “Was there just five?”)… And we’ve got many questions in here about the–the seven thousand, so forth; now, that–that was just a symbol, a part of them. And all that wakened in this last age here, the seventh watch, that–if there wasn’t but–but five that wakened at that time that was translated, went in with the Bride and so forth, the Bridegroom…

Now, if they, themselves… That don’t mean there’s only going to be five, because they’re sleeping all down through the ages as we’ve come this week. See?

202 The seventh watch, He come in. Some fell asleep in the first watch, second, third, fourth, fifth. And in the seventh watch there come a cry, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!” The seventh church age, that’s the watch, the age that watched it. And this is the Laodicea Church Age, at the end of it. Amen. Oh, it’s… Why won’t you awake, ye saints of the Lord, why slumber when the end is nearing?

203 But, remember, the church in the Laodicean Age is to get lukewarm. He said, “Because you say that you are ‘rich,’ and–and you’re ‘increased in goods.'” And said, “You don’t know that you’re naked, blind, poor, miserable, and don’t know it.” Said, “I’ll spue you from my mouth.”

The seventh Angel’s Message. First watch, they fell asleep. Second watch, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, all down through Thyatira, and all down through all the ages, down to the Laodicean watch; but in the seventh watch the voice come, “Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him.” And what? They awoke and trimmed their lamps.

125-3 As the end time prophecies will repeat, I believe, as the first forerunner came from the wilderness and cried, “Behold the Lamb of God,” the second forerunner will probably do the same by pointing the people to a Word born Bride. The Bride of Christ will be pointed to the skies at the appearing of Jesus, screaming, “Behold the Lamb of God,” will come forth from his lips. God help us to be ready for this near event.

Many will misunderstand him because they have been taught Scripture in a certain way which they consider truth. When he comes against that, they will not believe. Even some true ministers will misunderstand the messenger because so much has been called God’s truth by deceivers.

176-4 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE – CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5

But this prophet will come, and as the forerunner to the first coming cried, “Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world,” even so will he no doubt cry out, “Behold the Lamb of God coming in glory.” He will do this, for even as John was the messenger of truth to the elect, so is this one the last messenger to the elect and Word-born bride.”

THE.FIRST.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318

131-5 {98} Now, you remember, the true Bride… Now, there is a false bride. We get that in Revelations 17. She said, “I am a widow and have no need of nothing,” (You see?), setting upon the scarlet clothed beast, and so forth (the beast, rather).

Now, but the true Bride will be made up of thousands times thousands of people, but it will be the elect out of every church age. Every time a message went forth and the people believed it and accepted it in all the Light it was, when they were sealed away until that day of redemption…

Don’t Jesus speak the same thing when He said the–the sound come in the–the seventh watch? That’s the last church age. See? And said, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go out to meet Him.”

And then the sleeping virgin come, rubbed her eyes, and said, “Suppose I ought to have some of that oil too; so maybe we’d better have some.”

And the real true Bride standing there said, “We have just got enough for ourself. We just got enough to get in ourself. We can’t give you nothing. If you want some, you go pray up.”

THE.FIRST.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318

132-3 {104} And while she was gone, the Bridegroom come (See?), and in went the Bride. And then them remnant there, the ones that were absolutely virtuous, the church was left outside. And He said, “There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.” See? Now, that’s the elect.

And when the sound come, “The Bridegroom cometh,” then every one of those that slept down through those ages awakened, every one.

383-105 Look, the… All ten of them that went out were virgins. Now, there were ten virgins went to meet the Lord. Now, the word “virgin” means “sanctified (Does anybody know that?), holy, pure, sanctified.” There were ten of them that went out to meet the Lord.

Now remember, they had been falling asleep in one watch, two watch, three watch, on till the seventh watch. But these really went to meet the Lord. And remember, as they went, the Lord came. That was the coming of the Lord’s time. Not who was in the watch…

Jesus spoke where that some fell in the first watch, and some in the second watch, and some in… But at the coming of the Lord they all wakened down. But on this case, it was the last watch, because they went out, ten of them, to meet the Lord. And five smoked out their lamps, and took no oil; five had oil.

78 All those honest and true Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, and whoever is born of the Spirit of God, will be caught away with Jesus Christ when He comes. I believe that. I different with some of our Pentecostal brethren who believe that the remnant of the church is those who will be caught away in this last age. I different there, because God… How could a man, and how could God… If we would say, “How could He?” He can do what He wishes to. But God, who promised Luther, and under justification, that’s all they knowed. See? He promised to take the Church. And He… I can believe by the grace of God and by the Scripture’s support. Because, He didn’t come in the first watch, and they went to sleep; and the second watch; on down. In the seventh watch, He come. And that’s the Seventh Church Age, at the seventh angel’s Message. See? And when He come, all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. See? Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, whoever that’s born of the Spirit of God, shall go in that Rapture. I believe that the Bride will be called out during that time. I believe there will be some in the last days won’t have to taste death, but will be changed in a moment, a twinkling of an eye.

IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY.OF.THE.GOSPEL_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-5 SUNDAY_ 63-0630E

65 Didn’t Jesus said the virgins went out to meet Christ? Some of them fell asleep, the first watch, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, to the seventh watch. But, in the seventh watch, then came forth the sound, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh. Go ye out to meet Him.” And the ones that were sleeping, awakened. All the age back, to Pentecost, woke up. See? From the seventh age, the seventh church age, all the way back through, woke up. And these that were in this church age, a living, they were changed. And they went in.

At the very time they went in, the sleeping virgin come and said, “We want to buy some of your Oil.”

66 But they said, “We just got enough for ourself. Go to them that sell It.”

“And while they were trying to receive this Oil, the Bridegroom came.” There has never been a time in the history of the world, that the Episcopalians, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians… The papers are full. The religious papers are praising God, that those sleeping virgins are now trying to receive pentecost, trying to receive the Holy Ghost. And don’t the people realize that it will not happen, according to the Word of God? “While they were trying to come back, the Bridegroom come and took away the Bride. And they were cast into outer darkness, for judgment,” because they rejected their invitation.

67 All peoples are bidden to come. God, in every age, has sent out His Light, and It’s been rejected.

175 The Church is ready. She is sealed in, ready to come. There will be a big outpouring of the Spirit, yes, sir, to grab that Church and take Her into the skies. Exactly. Because, see, the Church, the Word, the Bride… And, Christ, His ministry is in His Bride, which is His Body, the celestial Body, or I mean to say, the–the supernatural Body of His here on the spiritual body on earth, His Spirit is in there living His Life right out, until Him and the Church becomes one in the wedding. See, they become one. He takes them, just a little minority in the last days.

176 And then all those virgins that has slept, down through the age, they all rose, you see. Now, that is on the seventh watch, the seventh church age, the last, end time, the Laodicea, at the end, when just a little group of them went in. But, it brings all the resurrection of all those who died in their ages, living to that Word that was ordained of God and preached to happen in that day, as we went through those church ages and seen exactly the Word that would meet them in that time; how Luther raised up, how we find out, in Luther age, went forth the beast like a man’s face on it, and went forth, which was a “reformer,” meaning man. And, when, all ages, each one met just exactly to the requirements of God’s Word.

THE.WORLD.IS.AGAIN.FALLING.APART_ SHP.LA V-17 N-4 WEDNESDAY_ 63-1127

177 And so will this age meet exactly to the sign and wonder and thing that God promised to do in this last days. And the Church Itself will be ready and will go in the Rapture with Jesus, because, “We receive a Kingdom that cannot be shaken. It cannot be moved. Heavens and earth will pass away, but this Kingdom shall never pass away.” Amen. I’m glad to be, tonight, amen, tonight, in that Kingdom. Aren’t you happy to be in It?

Remember, that’s when He come, in the seventh watch. And in that watch, He found wise virgins, and virgins that had the Oil out of their lamp. Oil is the symbol of the Holy Spirit. If you haven’t found That in your lamp tonight, my brother, sister, why don’t you take That, God’s greatest Christmas Present.

LOOKING.UNTO.JESUS_ PHOENIX.AZ V-22 N-2 WEDNESDAY_ 64-0122

173 Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, has told us in His Word, “As it was in that day, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man.”

174 And it’s a very strange thing, Father, that there’s never been a reformer, in all the ages, that’s went down into Sodom, with a name ending “h-a-m,” until today. Your servant, Billy Graham, down in Sodom doing his work.

175 Now, Father, I pray that You’ll save the Seed of Abraham that’s here tonight, fill them with the Holy Spirit of the precious promised Son. Immediately after this, God manifested in flesh did this sign, then the promised son came on the scene. God, we’ve been looking for Him for two thousand years, the Seed of Abraham. Many are sleeping; this is the seventh watch, we are looking for the cry to come at any time, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh.”

176 Grant, tonight, Father, that people’s understandings will be opened up, that they’ll see that this sign was promised, just before the coming Son. Too, as the brass serpent typified Christ, so did the coming son and the sign of his coming (in the natural) typify the spiritual, of the coming Jesus today, the Royal Seed of Abraham. Grant it, Lord. We ask it in Jesus’ Name, as we commit ourselves to You. Amen.

I don’t say eight. Might be eight hundred or… I–I don’t know how many. Eight thousand… I–I don’t know. Eight million… I…

117 But you see, the Bride’s not going to be made up of just what little group’s here on earth now. When the seventh watch, when He came, all those virgin raised and trimmed their lamps. All the way back, every one that believed the anointed Word down through the age, come forth. Like the pyramid (the bottom part), and come on… But the Headstone had to come to pick the whole thing up to make it a–a pyramid. See, put it together. Now, the Bride will be made up of all those through the ages, that’s believed and has accepted Christ as their Savior.

THE.RAPTURE_ YUMA.AZ V-5 N-14 SATURDAY_ 65-1204

122 So now notice Enoch, the type of the Church. Here he’s also typed in the seventh church age. Can you think of that? The seventh church age! Notice. “At the sounding…”

123 How many believes there’s been seven messengers for the seven chur-… Oh, we all believe it, if we believe the Bible. If we don’t believe the Bible, course, see, we don’t believe it. But, there has been.

124 Now we’re living in the seventh church age. And when the Bible said that, this seventh church age, “When the messenger of the seventh church age begins to sound his Message, that the mysteries of all the things that’s been twisted up, down through the age, would be revealed in that time.” Here we see it, the Son of man coming among His people and doing just exactly, confirming His Message as He said He would do. Here we find it, in this last age now.

125 And the seven watches, like the seven watch, of one come. He didn’t come the first watch, second, third, fourth, but come in the seventh watch. That was Enoch, the seventh, which was translated. And Noah, being a type of the remnant of Jews, is to be carried over. Now, in the Bible times, talking about the watches. And nights were not divided into hours, in the Bible time.

THE.RAPTURE_ YUMA.AZ V-5 N-14 SATURDAY_ 65-1204

126 Now listen closely. Cause, I’ll hurry now, ’cause they want the room. No. The Bible was not divided, or–or…

127 The night was not divided in hours, in the Bible time. It was divided in watches. There was three watches. Now, the first watch started at from nine until twelve. The second watch started from twelve to three. And the third watch of the night was counted from three to six. Now we got three, three three’s, which is a nine, imperfect number. Then we come back to the seven for the Rapture, which will take place, I believe, between six and seven o’clock… or six and nine o’clock, some morning. “For the trumpet of the Lord shall sound.”

PROVING.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-6 SUNDAY_ 64-0816

235 Now, we say He’s raised from the dead. I didn’t say it, the Word here said it. They said, “He raised from the dead.” He says He’s the same yesterday, and forever. You believe that? He promised these things to happen in the last day, that the same Son of man will be made manifest.

236 Now, remember, that was not Jesus talking to Abraham there, that could discern the thoughts in Sarah’s mind behind him. That was not Jesus, He had not yet been born. But it was a man in human flesh, that Abraham called “Elohim, the great Almighty.” Showing… And Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Sodom,” now watch close, “in the days of Sodom, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed.” Not no more as a church, see, not no more; the Bride is called, see. “In that day the Son of man will be revealed.” What? To join the Church to the Head, unite, the marriage of the Bride. The Bridegroom call will come right through this, when the Son of man will come down and come in human flesh to unite the two together. The Church has to be the Word, He is the Word, and the two unites together, and, to do that, it’ll take the manifestation of the revealing of the Son of man. Not a clergyman. I–I don’t know, I… Do you see what I mean? See, it’s Son of man, Jesus Christ, will come down in human flesh among us, and will make His Word so real that it’ll unite the Church and Him as one, the Bride, and then she’ll go Home to the Wedding Supper. Amen. She’s already united, see, we go to the Wedding Supper, not to the marriage. “… fill your flesh… self, of all the flesh of mighty men, ’cause the marriage of the Lamb has come.” But, the rapture, is going to the Wedding Supper. When, the Word here unites with the person, and they two become one. And then what does it do then? It manifests the Son of man again, not the church theologians. The Son of man! The Word and the Church becomes one. Whatever the Son of man done, He was the Word, the Church does the same thing.

Section 3: HOW MANY COMINGS DID BROTHER BRANHAM REFER TO?

Personal notes:

Only three comings. In other words, if any one comes to find more or

less than three comings, the vision should be wrong…

If you say He has come and will come that makes 4 comings
Also each physical coming is a cycle or period of time NOT a One day event
However each coming has a specific purpose or objective.

There was three up to the Sodom time. There’s always been a number of three all the time. There’s three comings of Christ. He came once to redeem His Bride. He comes the next in the rapture to catch away His Bride. He comes again in the millennium with His Bride. Everything is in three. Threes is a perfect number. Five is the number of grace; seven, completion; twelve–worship; twenty-four–or–or forty–tempted; and fifty is the jubilee. The very word “Pentecost” means “jubilee, fifty.” See?

E-8 008 But we find in this Scripture, that Jesus had chose three of His apostles. I just love to think on the numatics of the Bible, how the threes, sevens, twelves, forties, fifties. And if you get those numbers running right you can just place the Bible like one great picture.

And three is a perfection like Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and water, blood, and spirit, and so forth. And the three comings of Jesus, once He come to redeem His Bride, next time He comes to get His Bride, the next time He comes with His Bride after the Marriage Supper.

Then we find that He taken three chosen vessels: Peter, James, and John. And in the Bible we’re taught: love, hope, and charity; or faith, hope, and charity it is: faith, hope, and charity.

Now, if we’ll notice, Moses, when he became the age of about forty, he refused to be called Pharaoh’s daughter… Moses’ life runs in a cycle, of three cycles; first, forty; next, eighty; then a hundred and twenty when he died, just a perfect… I could go through the Scripture, and show that–of the dispensations of grace, of water, blood, the spirit, of justification, sanctification, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the first, second, and third coming of Christ. Everything you want to type, lays right smack… and everything in the Scripture will roll right in to them–them letters, just like that.

Now remember, appearing and coming is two different words: to appear and then to come. Now is the appearing; He’s already appeared in these last days, right here with us in the last few years. Now, it’s a sign of His coming. He’s appearing in His Church in the form of the Holy Spirit, showing that it’s Him, ’cause people cannot do these things that you see the Holy Spirit doing; so that’s the appearing of the Lord. Now, you remember, it spoke both places, “appearing” and “coming.”

We’ve had a dismal day, as the Bible said, neither called day nor night–enough to join church, and to do good, and so forth. But it shall be light about the evening time. And the same S-o-n, Son of God, that rose yonder in the east on the eastern people, and showed His blessings and power… It’s been a dismal day, but now on the west coast… If we go any farther, we go back to China again to the east, and back to the eastern country.

Now, we’re at the west coast, and the S-o-n is appearing before His coming. Remember, appearing and coming is two different words. See? He’s appearing now in the church, showing Himself alive after two thousand years. “Sirs, we would see Jesus.”

12 Now, I have been kind of speaking to you, on the Message, very straight. And I… Some people might be under the impression that–that I think that Jesus is going to come in the morning or tonight. I do. Now, I don’t say that He will. And, again, He may not come for next week, and it might be next year, it might be ten years. I don’t know when He is coming. But, there is one thing I want to… always you bear in mind, you be ready every minute or hour. See? That, if He doesn’t come today, He might be here tomorrow. So just keep that in your mind, that He is coming.

13 And I don’t know what time is going to be my last hour on this earth, neither does any of us. And there is none of us know when He is coming. He doesn’t even know, Himself, by His Own Words; He said, “The Father, only, knows when He will come; not even the Son knows when He will come.” It’s when God sends Him to us again. But we’re looking for His Coming. And if He doesn’t come in my generation, He might come in the next; if He doesn’t come in that one, He’ll come in the next. But, for myself, I can’t see hardly any time left. I just… To me, it could happen at any minute. Now, that don’t mean… That doesn’t mean, now, that you’ll see the heavens change and every… That’s not the Coming I’m speaking of. I’m talking of the Rapture.

THE.FOURTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN THURSDAY_ 63-0321

308-5 {210} Watch Christ. First coming, He come a mortal to bleed and die. Is that right? That’s His first coming. The second coming is the rapture. We meet Him in the skies, immortal. His third coming, He’s the incarnate God (Amen. Yeah.), God Emmanuel to reign on earth. That’s right. Only three…

Fourth stage of the rider… Watch. The fourth stage of this rider is called death. Death means eternal separation from God. That’s what death means: to be eternal separated from God.

Now, if we place this fellow out, class… If we have showed by the Bible who that fellow is… And we even took the hills, the place and everywhere just exactly in detail right on down. And now, he’s called by the eagle, death. That’s what He calls him.

Now remember, appearing and coming is two different words: to appear and then to come. Now is the appearing; He’s already appeared in these last days, right here with us in the last few years. Now, it’s a sign of His coming. He’s appearing in His Church in the form of the Holy Spirit, showing that it’s Him, ’cause people cannot do these things that you see the Holy Spirit doing; so that’s the appearing of the Lord. Now, you remember, it spoke both places, “appearing” and “coming.”

IDENTIFICATION_ PHOENIX.AZ WEDNESDAY_ 63-0123

7 It’s been a great time. I been preaching these strong Messages about His Coming, and trying to lay out the–the possibilities, and the hour that we’re now living in, and how that everything, to my opinion, my humble opinion, is just in condition for the Coming of the Lord, the Rapture, the next thing. And all that lacks, could happen within an hour.

8 I believe, many, I don’t know just how many, but several of the outstanding prophecies pertaining to the fulfillment of the coming of the Messiah and what He would do, was fulfilled in the last seven hours at the cross. “How they pierced My side, and My… not a bone was broken.” And–and He cried, “My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” And the great prophecies, they just happened, one, two, three, four, just like that, just in an hour or two, apart.

CONVINCED.AND.THEN.CONCERNED_ CHICAGO.IL MONDAY_ 62-0521

E-31 Now, John was so sure that he was going to see the Messiah, till he said, “He’s in our midst now.” Now, watch.

Notice. There’s a great big difference in the sign of Jesus appearing, and then Jesus coming. There’s two different words, means two different things: the appearing of the Lord, and the coming of the Lord.

Now, the appearing of the Lord is now, when He’s appearing in His people, His Spirit working among them, proving that it’s Him with them, getting them ready for the rapture, for the coming of the Lord to catch away His–the Bride (See?): the appearing and the coming. All right. Now.

Now, the thing we have to do if we can believe it, and be concerned about it, first we’ve got to be convinced that it is God. Then when we’re convinced, then we are concerned. I like that. All right.

3-2 007 Well, if you’ll turn the picture like this and look (and you can probably see it from the audience), it’s Christ. See His eyes looking here just as perfect as it could be, wearing the white wig of supreme Deity and Judge of all heavens and earth? Can you see His eyes, nose, His mouth? Just turn the picture from this (the way they had it), this a-way, the way it’s supposed to be. And you… Can you see it? He is supreme Judge; there’s none other but Him. And that is a perfect identification again, a vindication that this Message is the truth. It is true. And making Him, not a third person, but the only Person with the white…

See, you see the dark, His face, His beard, and His eyes? And notice, He’s looking; from Him comes this Light shining on the right-hand side to which He’s looking to. And on the cross that’s where He looked, to the right, where He pardoned the sinner. In the light of His resurrection we still go forth in His Name.

85 One day, turning it to the right, looking, there was Jesus Christ just as perfect as Hofmann ever drawed Him. It was standing there with a white wig on, looking back down towards the earth, showing that He is Supreme Authority. The Heavens declare it, the Bible declares it, the Message declares it, all the same. Supreme Authority, with the white wig on; you see His black beard under. Many of you have seen the picture. We got it back there. Just turn it to the right, sideways, look at it. There He is, just as perfect as it was, if it had been photographed of Him. They’re looking at it from the wrong angle. You got to look at it in the right angle. And only the Lord God can reveal which is the right angle. Turn it to your right and look at it. There He is, just as perfect, had it a-been photographed up there.

86 The first time I ever seen Him, He looked like the Head of… Hofmann. I had never seen that before. And in Billy Sunday’s tabernacle, years later, I saw it. My house has never been without one of the pictures since.

87 Then, here in the skies, saying that the very God that I saw up in this vision out here, just a little boy out here by where this schoolhouse stands, He looked like that. And here in the Heavens, thirty-three years later, declare it, that it’s the truth. That’s the way He looks; not some mystic something of somebody’s idea.

E-27 Man has preached on this text through the age. Every time it’s ever read… You can’t read the–the Word of God without inspiring you. And it inspired the–the disciples when they heard it. It despired–inspired the next round of an apostles, and the next round, and of Martin Luther, John Wesley, Calvin, Knox, Finney, Sankey, on down through the age as we have come.

And if we should read it a hundred million years from tonight, it’d still be just as inspiring, because it’s God Word. It’s a finished product. It can never fail. It’s God’s Word.

HEAR.YE.HIM_ CHATTANOOGA.TN SATURDAY_ 58-0301E

E-28 Now, we could take a lengthy time on this, and we could take it from many different angles. Truly, the right angle to take this from is by the way of the second coming of the Lord.

And perhaps, maybe, your pastor has taught you this many times, on how that the order of the Scripture, how perfect It is, the second coming of the Lord. First: the Moses and Elijah, and then they looked and saw just Jesus only, all foreshadowing or picturing the coming of the Lord the second time. But tonight we want to approach it from another angle.

ASHAMED.OF.HIM.title JEFF.IN V-3 N-9 65-0711

63 026 [Blank.spot.on.tape–Ed.] See the picture the other day, how He turned that picture sideways there? And the very picture of that seven Angels being lifted up, turn it to the right-hand side, and there is the face of the Lord Jesus looking down to the earth again.

You remember when I preached the seven church ages, I couldn’t understand why Jesus standing there with a “white” over His head. He was a young Man. I took it back in the Bible, it said, “He came to the Ancient of Days, Whose hair was white as wool.” Jesus was only thirty-three and a half years old at His crucifixion.

I called up Brother Jack Moore, a theologian. He said, “Oh, Brother Branham, that’s Jesus in His glorified stage.” Said, “After His death, burial, and resurrection, He turned to that.” That sounded all right for a theologian, but it didn’t go good, it just didn’t hit the something.

I went up there and started on that first church age, there the Holy Spirit revealed it. Now, you got it right on your church ages. I guess the books will be out pretty soon now, the full detail of it. And it showed that Jesus was Judge. There’s a white wig that they used to wear, put a wig on and wear it as a judge (England still does it.) when you got supreme authority. And that turning sideways in this picture, there He is, His black hair, you can see it in the side of His beard, and the white wig on. He is the last of the authority; He’s Supreme Authority. Even God said so Himself, “This is My beloved Son; hear ye Him.”

ASHAMED.OF.HIM.title JEFF.IN V-3 N-9 65-0711

67 027 There He is with them Angels, the message, which was the seven–breaking of them seven seals that revealed serpent’s seed and all these things here. And it shows that it is His very covering; it’s His–it’s His supreme authority. He is Supreme, and He’s wigged or–or covered. The Bible said that He changed His countenance, or He changed Himself, en morphe. The word comes from the Greek word, “en morphe,” which means “a Greek actor that plays many parts”; today he is one thing, in the next act he’s something else. He was God the Father in one act; God the Son in another act; and He’s God the Holy Ghost in this act. See? There He is; His Word is still Supreme. We’re living in the last days.

166 Now, in Abraham’s journey, he met God all along in different forms, and so forth, which we could take it and show it. Just, we are Abraham’s Seed, if we’re in Christ. And Isaac was really his–his lesser son; he was his son, sexually. But, spiritually, Christ was Abraham’s Seed, his royal Seed, his faith.

167 Now we find that his royal Seed is, travels the same journey, that’s, Bride of Christ travels the same journey that Abraham did. And the last sign that Abraham seen, before the promised son came, was when God was manifested in a human body, and two Angels came down.

168 Jesus said, in Saint Luke, the 17th chapter and the 30th verse, that, “As it was in the days of Noah.” He told about Noah’s time. And said, “As it was in the days of Sodom,” see, His Coming, “so will it be in the days when the Son of man is being revealed.” Now, He never said “the Son of God” being revealed. “The Son of man!”

DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND_ LA.CA V-18 N-4 TUESDAY_ 65-0427

169 Now, Jesus came in three names. Son of man, which is a prophet; Son of God, which went through the Church age; then Son of David. But in between the Son of God and Son of David, according to His Own Word, and according to Malachi 4 and many Scriptures, He’s to return back into His Church, in physical form, in the people, in a… in human beings, in the way of being a prophet. See?

170 And watch what this Man done when He came down to see Abraham. First thing, He told Abraham about his name being changed, because He didn’t call him Abram, He called him Abraham. And when He did, why, we find out that–that He said, “Where is thy wife, Sarah?” S-a-r-a-h; not S-a-r-r-a.

I believe in His literal coming, corporal body, descending from the heavens with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, the trump of God. The dead in Christ shall rise. But His Spirit is here with us.

And as the church, like the pyramid, comes into a–a point, so has the church in the days of Luther, days of Wesley, days of Pentecostal. And now just before the Headstone comes into it, that church has to be honed so perfect, till the same ministry that He did here, His same Spirit, so predominant, will bring that same Body right into it, and resurrect the whole thing. That’s exactly. Amen. Glory to God.

We believe in the second coming of Christ, the visible corporal body of the Lord, not spirit, but the corporal body of the Lord Jesus coming again in glory. We believe in the physical resurrection of the dead to receive a body, not old and wrinkled as we go into the grave, but a new one in the very bliss of youth to live forever. We believe in the immortality of the soul, absolutely. We believe there’s only one form of Eternal Life and that’s the Life that you get from Christ Jesus. That’s exactly right. Therefore, we do not believe in eternal punishment. We believe in a hell fire, brimstone burning, but we don’t believe it burns forever. If it does, you got Eternal Life.

Now, I tell you. What did that Angel do up there that time? He turned His back, had His back turned to Abraham, which I was going to get to tonight and didn’t do it… And where He said it would be the same thing at the coming of the Lord as it was at Sodom. We find out He had His back turned to the tent. And Sarah laughed at what He said, ’cause He told him, and she couldn’t understand that that just being a Man out there eating the meat that she fried, drinking the milk from the cow, and eating its calf, and that was God. The Bible said it was.

QUEEN.OF.SHEBA.title LONG.BEACH.CA 61-0219

E-27 027 Now, as we look farther into the Word we find that the church called out, the elect, there was an Angel Who spoke to them and give them a sign. And there was a strange Man dwelling in flesh, that Abraham later called Elohim, God Almighty. And so he noticed that this Man was setting, had His back turned to the tent. And just the–the chapter before this, God had met Abraham and give him a name from Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, and princess. And He addressed them both by their priestly, or God given name. Elohim. H-e-m, taking part of His name, Abraham. From Abram, ham, part of God’s name, because he was to be also a father by seed to many nations, the father of nations.

Now, you–you notice what taken place there. Now, the Angel with His back turned to the tent, He said, “Where is Sarah, thy wife?” How did He know her name was Sarah? How did He know he was married? And how did He know all these things?

Said, “She’s in the tent behind you.”

And He said, “I’m going to visit you according to the time of life.” And Sarah laughed within herself. When she did, the Angel said, “Why did she laugh saying in her heart, that, ‘I’ll not be able to do this, and I’m too old,’ and so forth.” How did He know that?

QUEEN.OF.SHEBA.title LONG.BEACH.CA 61-0219

E-28 028 Now, Jesus plainly… Now, listen close. Don’t miss it. And be just as reverent as you can. Notice. That promise was made just to reoccur again at the coming of the Lord. See it? Now, Jesus being misunderstood, what did the–they say when they seen Him doing His signs of the Messiah? They said, “He’s Beelzebub.” Well now, we know that Beelzebub was a devil. He was the chief of the devils. And otherwise, they called Jesus in perceiving their thoughts in their hearts, a–a fortuneteller, or a mind reader, or something like that; which we know that that is of the devil, certainly. And it’s–it’s a perverted, something that’s been real, been perverted.

The devil cannot create. The devil only perverts what God’s created. There’s only one Creator; that’s God. What is a lie, is a truth misrepresented. What is a–a bad woman? Is a good woman that’s been perverted. See? Anything that’s perverted is of the devil. Anything in its original condition is of God. See? God is the only Creator. And the devil cannot create; he has to pervert what God has created. Keep that in your mind.

Now, they called the Spirit of God, that was doing these great signs to prove that He was Messiah, they called that a evil spirit. And Jesus said, that, “I will forgive you for this; but when the Holy Spirit comes (to do the same thing), one word against It will never be forgiven in this world, neither in the world that is to come.” Watch how it stands.

And now compare that, and then put another Scripture, Luke 17:30, Malachi 4: As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, the anointed Word of the hour, so will these men, not man, men, anointed ones, resist the Truth.

In the very day that the Son of man is revealed, Revelations 10:1-7, read it when you get home… The seventh angel’s Message, opening up the Seals… What is it? Not the angel is the Son of man, but the messenger is revealing the Son of man. Can you get it separated now? That’s where it seems to be so hard for you. You see? Not the Son of man Himself, but the seventh angel, the seventh messenger, is revealing to the public the Son of man, because it’s left the shuck. He can’t organize it; it’s the Grain itself again. “And in that day Jannes and Jambres will withstand–anointed ones, make-believers, and unbelievers, the church formal and the Pentecostals–stand up against the true Grain. But let them alone; their folly will be made manifest as theirs was.” You understand now?

E-47 But in the evening time, before the body was changed of Sarah and Abraham to receive the promised son, He came, set with them, talked with them, and done a sign before them. And Jesus referred to it. We’re not behind. Don’t look back to what Luther said, what Wesley said. Look what Jesus said, and look at the sign where we’re at.

Don’t look back what somebody else said; look what He said. He was the One said it. And the same sun that rises in the east, sets in the west. There’s been a dismal day. It certainly has been, enough light to see how to join churches and make organizations and so forth. But that real power and manifestations of the Presence of God has not been seen for years and years and years. We’ve felt It, and we knowed It was here. And we seen gifts work with It. But when we see Him come visible among us, with power in His church to reach up on the hem of the garment of that Master and touch it, bring back down His power here and speak through His people here and reveal, making Him God, “God with us.” Oh, yes.

You just see if He’s still the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of your infirmity. I never seen you in my life. You’re a stranger to me. I know nothing about you. God does know you. And if He can reveal to me by His Holy Spirit, the resurrected Christ Who come here, and give me a temporarily resurrection by my spirit, that my spirit goes away now and His Spirit comes in, then to let you know whether He’s alive or not. Now, I don’t know you. That’s me, me and my spirit; we don’t know you. But He knows you. But He wants to borrow my body to prove that He’s the resurrected Christ. I’m so happy to loan it to Him, give it to Him, anything He can get out of it.

The 7th angel must on earth to Introduce Him…if the 7^th angel is gone WHO will introduce HIM? HOW the bride will know HIM?

That’s the prophets who has wrote the Word. At the sounding of the seventh church age, the last church age, all the loose ends that through these church ages have been probed at, will be wound up together. And when the Seals are broke and the mystery is revealed, down comes the Angel, the Messenger, Christ, setting His foot upon the land and upon the sea with a rainbow over His head.

No matter if he falls asleep in the first watch, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh, wherever he falls asleep… What’ll happen? The trumpet of God shall sound, that last trump will blast forth the same time that the last angel’s giving his message and the last Seal is opened, that last trumpet will sound, and the Redeemer comes forth to take His redeemed possessions: His church, blood-washed.

Did you go out to see a man dressed up in fine…” No. He was too far from Hollywood for that.

So he said, “Did you go to see a man in fine raiment?” Said, “They’re of king’s palaces.” He said, “What did you go to see, a reed that just any denomination could blow any way it wanted to?” Oh, no. Certainly didn’t. “So what did you go to see? A prophet?” Said, “Yes. You went to see a prophet. And a greater… He’s more than a prophet.” Said, “This is that Elias. This is that One that is said by the prophet, ‘I send My messenger before My face.'” Said, “Verily, I say unto you there’s never been a man borned of a woman as great as John the Baptist.”

E-43 He never condemned him. He knowed that he was anointed with the spirit of Elijah. And that spirit was on him. That’s what did it. He knowed everything was running all right, everything was running according to schedule. John… Why, was he a greater than–than all the prophets?

Now, if you’re spiritual, you’ll catch something. Why was he the greatest? All the other prophets had spoke of the Messiah. But John introduced Him. He was the one that presented Him.

So will it be in the end time. Everything’s running according to schedule. Don’t be offended. Just believe. Today the churches are offended in Him. The churches are offended. The people are offended. They’re all flusterated. They don’t know what to think. “Mental telepathy.” Something else and all… No, don’t be offended.

131 Now, God has a way of doing things. And He never changes His policy. He never changes His po-… He’s the unchanging God. In Amos 3:7, He said, “He would do nothing on the earth until first He revealed it to His servants the prophets.” And just as certain as He promised it, He’ll do it.

LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS.title JEFF.IN V-2 N-17 63-1229E

7-4 020 And now, on persons like ourselves, we’re going to be cut out of all that altogether. That’s exactly, because they won’t be able to do it. It’s tightening; and then when that time comes, and the press comes to a place to where you’re pressed out, then watch (what I am fixing to tell you in a few minutes) watch the third pull then. It’ll be absolutely to the total lost, but it–it will be for the Bride and the church.

Now, we’re closer than it seems to be. I don’t know when, but it’s real, real, close. I may be building a platform for somebody else to step on. I may be taken before that time. I don’t know. And that time may be this coming week that the Holy Spirit will come with–and bring Christ Jesus. He may come this next week. He may come yet tonight. I don’t know when He will come. He doesn’t tell us that. But I do believe that we are so close, that I would never die with old age. Yet at fifty-four years old, I’d never die with old age until He’s here. See? Unless I am shot, killed, or something, or other, some way killed; just old age wouldn’t kill me, until He’s come. And I believe that… And I want to say this; I have never said it before, but according to Scripture, according to what He said thirty years ago, thirty-three years ago on the river down there (in 1933, rather), what He said, everything has happened just exactly. I may not do it, but this message will introduce Jesus Christ to the world. “For as John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so is the message to forerun the second coming.” And John said, “Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.” See? So it–it paralleled it in every way, and I know it will. The message will go on.

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0318

125-1 The true prophet of God will proclaim the Word in the last days; denominations will hate him. He will not pull any punches on them. He will be like he was when he come at the first coming of Christ. “You generation of vipers…” But the predestinated will hear and will make ready for the countdown. The Royal Seed of Abraham’s faith (like him) holding to the Word of God regardless, for he was predestinated… The messenger of Malachi 4 will appear at God’s appointed time. We are all looking for him. We believe he will come. That is according to His Word; it will be at the end time, which it is time now for to see it.

125-2 He will be cor–he will be correctly dedicated to the Word as they have always been; indicated by God’s Word–and a-vindicated. God will vindicate what he preaches to be the Truth as He did Elijah; for it is Elijah coming, making ready for the Mount Zion rapture. Jesus said in the last days it would be like Lot’s time. His preaching will be with the Spirit and straight line of God’s Word. Because so much has been called God’s Truth, many will misunderstand this true messenger. (I’ve got wrote here p-r-o-p-h-e-c-y, prophecy.) Because–because so much has been called God’s Truth by fakers, many true ministers will misunderstand that messenger.

125-3 As the end time prophecies will repeat, I believe, as the first forerunner came from the wilderness and cried, “Behold the Lamb of God,” the second forerunner will probably do the same by pointing the people to a Word born Bride. The Bride of Christ will be pointed to the skies at the appearing of Jesus, screaming, “Behold the Lamb of God,” will come forth from his lips. God help us to be ready for this near event.

E-2 002 Lord, “Behold” means “look up to, pay attention.” Let us remember tonight these words, that a greater than all is here, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We ask this blessing, that He’ll take these words and anoint them to the hearts of the people, that they might have faith, then show Himself alive as He promised to be. “Lo, I’m with you always, even to the end of the world,” or the consummation. We ask it in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FAITH.ONCE.DELIVERED.TO.THE.SAINTS.title CHICAGO.IL 55-0501

E-28 028 Notice. Then when John saw Jesus coming, just an ordinary man, not any different in statue perhaps than the average man. He walked right through the crowd and nobody knowed Him, went right through the pool of Bethesda and all around. Sometimes they’d get to fussing with Him, the Pharisees; He’d just walk right out of the crowd. And they couldn’t tell Him from anybody else; they all wore beards and robes; so they all looked alike, no different.

But John, when he was standing preaching, being the forerunner… As a little history of it, maybe true, maybe not, I can’t say. But said he was preaching on that day about eleven o’clock and debating with the priest across the river. Anyhow, we know he was at the river baptizing. And he turned and looked, and here come Jesus walking down the hill, coming to the bank of the Jordan. And when John looked, quickly he knew Him. He said, “Behold the Lamb of God, that take away the sins of the world.” Do you get it? “Behold” means “to look up to.” “Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.”

Over in the book of John he said, “I knew Him not (He was like any other man.), but He that told me in the wilderness to go baptize with water, said upon Whom thou shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on, the same shall baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire.” Amen.

34 See, they asked three questions, and He answers back three questions. “When will there come a time there won’t be one stone left on another? What’s the sign of Your Coming? And what about the end of the world?” And many, I believe, that we brethren make mistakes by trying to apply it all to His Coming. But He is answering three different questions that was asked Him. “Why would be the time that there won’t be one of these stones left on another; when will this thing be? And what will be the sign of Your Coming? And what will be at the end of the world?” See, three different questions. And He starts off answering one, about when “the stones would be left with not one upon another.” And then after He finishes that question, then He starts off, “the sign of His Coming.” And then goes into, “the end of the world.”

THE.FLASHING.RED.LIGHT.OF.THE.SIGN.OF.HIS.COMING_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-4 SUNDAY_ 63-0623E

35 Now we notice here one of the things that I wish to speak on tonight, is the… The Flashing Red Light Of The Sign Of His Coming. And we’re going to dwell tonight upon the days of Noah, “So shall it be at the coming of the Son of man.” And now this struck me the other day, and I thought maybe I’d try to tape this and speak on this. And writing down several Scriptures here that I would like to refer to, maybe, and–and read, in a little bit.

THE.FLASHING.RED.LIGHT.OF.THE.SIGN.OF.HIS.COMING_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-4 SUNDAY_ 63-0623E

36 But now our Lord Jesus was asked this question, and He gave them the sign of His Coming. And then immediately He said this, “Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall not pass away.” And then He said, “Learn a parable of the fig tree. When it’s putting forth its branches, you know that summer is nigh. So when you see these things coming to pass, or being made manifest, know that the time is at hand. And this generation shall not be done away until all of these things shall come to pass.” What generation? The generation that’s seeing the apostasy that we’re going to speak of tonight.

FLASHING.RED.LIGHT.title JEFF.IN V-5 N-4 63-0623E

175 104 The coming of Christ is flashing its sign. Look at them. See if what I’ve told you tonight… It may not be very popular, but it’s the Truth. It’s what God said, and here we are.

Women don’t want to stay home. They don’t want to take care of their families. They just hire a babysetter and go out to a party somewhere. Juvenile delinquents, all things is taking place: bobbing their hair, wearing shorts, makeup. The increase is getting prettier and prettier. Men, sons of God are falling into a trap for Satan to use the sons of God to fall into that, just as Jesus said. It has to happen. He said it would be there, and here it is. He said, “When these things come to pass, this generation will not pass away, and that’s forty years, until all these things be fulfilled.” Think of it.

HIS.UNFAILING.WORDS.OF.PROMISE.title PHOENIX.AZ V-15 N-3 64-0120

31 009 And some people try to support their doctrine upon that, that people will still be living in the sabbath hours, keeping the sabbath days, when He comes. Well, if the–if the coming is universal, you couldn’t be keeping the sabbath; for one side it’s the sabbath day, and the next day is a day apast the sabbath. See, so it isn’t. The–the sabbath keeping was for a people in the wilderness, not for the universal church. See? And all these different things, they take those Scriptures without having the Holy Spirit to divide them rightly and show what they are…

But here’s what Jesus was speaking to my most humble opinion, was that He said, that this generation, in other words, the generation that saw the fig tree putting forth his buds. See, He said here, “And when the fig tree is begin, is tender and putteth forth its–his branches, you say summer is nigh. Likewise (See?), when you see all these things, know the time…” When you see all these three questions fulfilled, the time is at the door. That generation that sees the fig tree… And the fig tree is always Israel. And when Israel goes back to her homeland and becomes a nation, that generation will not pass away until these things are all fulfilled.

And Christian friends tonight in this great scruple in the Scriptures, that people think is scrupled, we’re now living to see the very… Everything that He has said here is fulfilled, just the next thing’s for His coming.

HIS.UNFAILING.WORDS.OF.PROMISE.title PHOENIX.AZ V-15 N-3 64-0120

34 010 Israel is in her homeland. She’s her own nation. She got her own money, own flag, a member of the U.N. She’s just a nation, the first time for about twenty-five hundred years since she’s been a nation. And Jesus promised that the generation… And in the Bible a generation is ‘lotted to forty years. From the time that Israel become a nation until forty years, somewhere within that time He will come. And if that is true, then that brings the coming…

Well, and another thing, every two thousand years something has happened on the earth, and politics and everything give out, God had to send help from heaven. And the first two thousand years, the world was destroyed with water; the second two thousand years Christ come; and this is 1964, and they claim that we’re seventeen years short on that.

THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE.IS.FULFILLED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-8 FRIDAY_ 65-0219

43 And just as plain as you could hear any voice, a Voice come to me, and said, “He entered into Nazareth, to where He was brought up at; and went into the synagogue, as it was His custom. And the priest gave Him the Scriptures to read, and He read Isaiah 61. And when He had read the Scriptures, He set down; handed the priest back the Bible, the Book, and sat down. And all the eyes of the congregation was upon Him. And precious Words proceeded from His mouth. And He said, ‘This day this Scripture is fulfilled.'”

“This day this Scripture is fulfilled.”

44 How accurate is the Scripture! If you’ll notice this in Isaiah 61:1 to 2, is where our Lord was reading from, Isaiah 61:1 to 2. But in the middle of the 2nd verse of Isaiah 61, He stopped. Where it said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me; to preach the acceptable year,” then He stopped. Why? The other part, to bring judgment, didn’t apply to His first coming, but His second Coming. See, it didn’t apply there. How the Scriptures never make a mistake! They are always perfect. Jesus stopped just where the Scripture stopped, ’cause that was exactly what was to be vindicated in His day, now, in that first coming. The second Coming He will bring judgment upon the earth; but not then. He was “to preach the acceptable year.”

Section 8: WHAT ABOUT BROTHER BRANHAM SAYING THAT HE WAS WAITING FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD EVEN IN 1964 AND 1965 (AFTER THE OPENING OF THE SEALS)?

Personal notes:

Catch the prophetic language because letter killeth but the spirit (revelation) …
What about Brother Branham saying that he was not a prophet? Does this make people to look for a prophet to fulfill the promises of the age?
What about Brother Branham saying that he was looking for the prophet of Mal 4 to come? Does this make people wait a prophet or the prophet was already on the scene?

148 What’s happened upon Mount Sunset? God confirming His Word. That’s what all this noise is about. Notice, it’s God fulfilling His promised Word again, of Revelations 10:1 to 7, “And in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel’s Message, the mystery of God should be finished.” The hidden mystery of Revelations 10:1 to 7, the last Message to the last church age. Fulfills exactly, in this age, Saint Luke 17:30, “The day when the Son of man shall be revealed.“

149 “And there shall rise false prophets and false Christs, show great signs and wonders, insomuch it’d deceive the Elected if possible.” The people still in doubt. And, as usual, the church is just as puzzled.

150 And the science, all through Tucson yet, they’re writing pieces and put in the paper.

It can’t go but a little piece there; it’s at the West Coast. Judgment struck just in the very way it went.

Where is it at?” They’re just as puzzled of that supernatural Halo hanging yonder in the sky as they was when the Magis come in following a Star, saying, “Where is He that’s born King of the Jews?” What was it? God fulfilling His Word, “And there shall rise a star out of Jacob.”

152 And the God of Heaven promised the evening time would have evening Lights. Three years ago this mystery was a prophecy, “What time is it, Sir?” But now it’s history. It’s passed. The promise is fulfilled. What time is it, sir, and what’s this attraction? God fulfilling His Word! He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Let us pray.

Personal notes: Remember in this same message, later on Brother Branham said the promise was fulfilled referring to what happed on the Sunset Mountain… Can we reconcile it because it or just take what is more convenient for our group?

BROKEN.CISTERNS_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-13 SUNDAY_ 64-0726E

12 Now, I have been kind of speaking to you, on the Message, very straight. And I… Some people might be under the impression that–that I think that Jesus is going to come in the morning or tonight. I do. Now, I don’t say that He will. And, again, He may not come for next week, and it might be next year, it might be ten years. I don’t know when He is coming. But, there is one thing I want to… always you bear in mind, you be ready every minute or hour. See? That, if He doesn’t come today, He might be here tomorrow. So just keep that in your mind, that He is coming.

13 And I don’t know what time is going to be my last hour on this earth, neither does any of us. And there is none of us know when He is coming. He doesn’t even know, Himself, by His Own Words; He said, “The Father, only, knows when He will come; not even the Son knows when He will come.” It’s when God sends Him to us again. But we’re looking for His Coming. And if He doesn’t come in my generation, He might come in the next; if He doesn’t come in that one, He’ll come in the next. But, for myself, I can’t see hardly any time left. I just… To me, it could happen at any minute. Now, that don’t mean… That doesn’t mean, now, that you’ll see the heavens change and every… That’s not the Coming I’m speaking of. I’m talking of the Rapture.

BROKEN.CISTERNS_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-13 SUNDAY_ 64-0726E

14 See, He makes three Comings. He come in three Sons, Names. He come in a trinity; Father, Son, Holy Ghost. See, all of it the same Christ, the same God, all the time. Now, we know He come to bring three works of grace; justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost. Everything, in God, is completed in three’s.

15 And so He come, first, to redeem His Bride. He comes, second, as a Rapture, to take away His Bride. He comes, third, with His Bride, King and Queen; after, that’s when many people are expecting the Coming.

But when He comes this time, hardly none but those who are ready will know when He comes. There’ll just be an absence of people. They won’t know what happened to them. They’ll just be caught away, in a moment, and that they just come up missing. “Changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye.” So just be ready for that. It’d be horrible some morning to miss a loved one, no one can find them. Wouldn’t it be too bad to know it’s done past and you missed it? So just keep before God.

Personal notes: watch the end of paragraph 13, after brother Branham was talking about future coming, he ended by saying that he was not speaking of the Coming but the Rapture. Can we understand the difference in order to reconcile the two group thoughts?

In addition, shall we continue to wait for the Coming? If so shall we continue to believe that William Branham was not a prophet and continue to wait for a prophet to come based on what is following?

I said, “I’m not a prophet.”

Said, “But people think you are. You ought to be teaching these women… Instead of telling them to wear long hair, and the right kind of clothes, and things like that, you ought to be telling them how to get spiritual things.”

I said, “How can I teach them algebra, when they won’t even take abc’s of kindergarten? Haven’t even got the common decency to clean themselves up?”

I challenge you in those wheelchairs to look this a way and believe that I am God’s prophet, or, excuse me, God’s servant. Please… You see, that word scatters and beats people.

And what the Nazarene people told you is the truth. And what the Pentecostal told you is the truth; and yet it’s not the truth.

IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E

33-7 John Wesley, raised up in the days of the Anglican church, when they said, “There is no more reason to have revivals,” it went to seed. But John Wesley stood up with a message of the second work of grace: sanctification. And he blasted that Anglican church with the Gospel trumpet prepared for war. That’s right. He did it.

Now, we’re in the Laodicean age, when they’ve again denominated: Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Pentecostals, and we’re looking for a prophet to come to blast this age and turn them back from their iniquity.

Now, if that’s been the trend all the way down through the age, will God change His trend in this day? He can’t change it. He has to keep the regular strike. And remember, this messenger was the seventh angel, and he was to take all the mysteries and gather them up.

Personal note: Even Jesus never told the people “I am He that thou art looking for or was promised…”.Instead He used words such as “search the Scriptures” or ”Thou sayest it” in Mark15:2. This is once again to confirm that the Word must be received by REVELATION. So did the prophet Branham… “I am not a prophet…that’s what people say…” Can you get it?

Conclusion:

To the light of the above referred quotes, anybody can make a valid claim supported by the Message that Brother Branham himself said that he is not a prophet and we should continue to look for a prophet to come. But why people, including the two groups continue to believe and support that he is a prophet and we should not be looking for another one? Again it’s a matter of Revelation. So it shall be with the Second Coming of the Lord. Not letters (quotes) only but Spirit (Revelation).

Regardless of what has been presented, pray for God’s revelation for yourself not for any group. Without prayer and God’ revelation, you will still be stuck like Catholics struggling with the Name in the baptism. They end up choosing what Jesus said in Matthew over what Peter said in Acts. Choice without revelation is leading to spiritual death. It should be God’s Choice which is REVELATION. So continue to pray like never did before until the matter is settled in your soul.

Based upon what has been presented above, it’s clear that the two groups are not talking about the Second Coming of the Lord in the same way. One group is actually looking at the Rapture (Final stage of body change) and the other group is looking at the Second Coming of the Lord as a period of time before the Rapture or body change.

But Brother Branham made it so clear that there is a difference between the Coming of the Lord (period of time not one day event) and the Rapture taken at the final stage of body change in a twinkling of an eye. If it happens that someone catches this Revelation, the matter would be settled once for ever.

Furthermore, to better understand the Second Coming of the Lord as a period of time, consider the First coming of the Lord which was not one day event either but a period of time. During that period, the following events took place during more than 33 years from the conception of the virgin to the cross.

The magi saw the First Coming of the Lord, Simeon in the temple saw the First Coming of the Lord in the temple in the presence of many believers of the message of his day, Jesus Himself after reading the Scripture of Isaiah 61 confirmed the First Coming of the Lord by saying “this day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears,” John the Baptist saw the First Coming of the Lord as he introduced Him to the public, one thief saw the First Coming while dying on the cross, etc.

If the Second Coming will be paralleled to the First Coming of the Lord, it should be a period of time while many events are taking place including the public introduction by the seventh angel to the public, the confirmation of the remaining portion of Isaiah 61 while a priest should hand the Bible to be read followed by the same saying thereafter “this day is this scripture fulfilled in yours ears” etc…

Also we already know that the Third Coming will be a period of time (one thousand years) not one day event. That’s the Perfection of God. The first, second and third coming of the Lord runs in a cycle like the life of Moses as quoted by Brother Branham.

May God bless you. Hope this will help you for your future studies. Your comments, suggestions are certainly welcomed in order to include other aspects the Lord may revealed to you.
