The event of the loosing of the seven seals was prophesied, foreordained and predestinated for our day, the end of all ages, when the church of Jesus Christ needs rapturing grace, faith and translation power. It occurred in March 18th-24th, 1963, at Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA, the lamb, Jesus Christ, who was the only worthy one, revealed the seals.

There was a scriptural ministry prophesied, foreordained and predestinated for our day to receive and reveal that revelation from the loosing of the seven seals. (Malachi 4:5&6, Revelation 10:7, Revelation 3:14).

God vindicated that ministry by a pillar of fire and a cloud even as He vindicated the ministry of Moses when he led the children of Israel out of Egypt land on his way to the Promised Land.

No other ministry was so supernaturally vindicated since the days of our Lord Jesus Christ and the apostolic church. The dead were raised, the sick were healed, and many supernatural signs and wonders were performed seven times around the world.

This great ministry climaxed in the loosing of the seals. The chosen vessel of God and the Lamb Jesus Christ was a humble little Prophet named William Marrion Branham (1909 - 1965). A man hated, despised and rejected by the religious system of organizations, which claim to represent Christianity. Nevertheless, such rejections did not change the purpose of God for his life. The seals were loosed and the revelation was channeled down through his ministry to the elected Bride.

On February 28th 1963, when Brother Branham was in the wilderness of Arizona, science took a photograph of a mysterious cloud that appeared twenty-six miles high and thirty miles across. It was seven angels that came down from heaven and took Brother Branham up into that cloud. He was told to return home for the opening of the seals.

Although this declaration seems to be mysterious, incredible and far-fetched to the human mind, it is scriptural, and the revelation foreordained and predestinated to be understood by the elect of God, for it is written, "They shall all be taught of God."(John 6:45). Some are not aware and others are not too careful to search the Scriptures concerning the greatest event of the twentieth century - the loosing of the seals.

In Revelation 5, it is written about a book in the hand of God, written within and sealed with seven seals. A proclamation went forth by an angel, "Who is worthy to take the book...?". No one was found worthy to take the book and loose the seven seals but the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. Though this event started with a heavenly scene, it also had its earthly representations.

In Revelation 10: 1-4, there was a mighty angel standing upon land and sea with an open book in his hand. He was symbolizing the Lord Jesus Christ who was the only one to take the book and loose the seals, but here he was symbolized as a lion, which signifies the judgments of God to follow this great event.

Revelation 10:7 is the earthly messenger to the Laodicean church age, the last and seventh age, (Revelation 3:14 - 22) who was chosen of God to receive and reveal the revelation of the mysteries of God that were recorded in the book. Included were the six seals, since the seventh seal was not recorded in the book and was held in the seven unknown thunders. That revelation was declared by the messenger/Prophet of Malachi 4:5&6, Revelation 10:7 to be the mystery of the second coming of Jesus Christ, which is to be revealed to the public about the time of Christ's coming and the Rapture.

"Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." (Malachi 4:5-6).

"And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven clothed with a cloud; and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished as he hath declared to his servants the prophets." (Revelation 10:1-7).

"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." (Daniel 12:8-10). "And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand." (Daniel 12:4).

People, who are acquainted with the message, know that the revelation of each seal proper only makes up a few paragraphs, though Brother Branham had many things to say before and after he delivered the revelation of each seal, by the Lamb. However the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation is based upon the major facts of the revelation of the seals. We will first establish the revelation of each seal. Unabridged, and exactly as the prophet himself preached them in 1963. This will serve as a quick reference to ministers, and believers to examine each heresy for themselves and to detect any foreign elements, misconstruestion, and perversions which are injected, into the revelation of the seals which were revealed by the lamb himself, the Lord Jesus Christ.

"The first thing happened... When that Lamb broke that First Seal, a thunder roared. Now, that's got a significance; it's got a meaning…St. John, the 12th chapter, and now let's begin with the 23rd verse…Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people said... that stood by, that heard it, they said... it thundered... Then when the Lamb took the Book and broke that First Seal, God spoke from His eternal throne to say what that Seal was to be revealed. But when it's placed before John, it was in a symbol…Remember, a loud clapping noise of a thunder is the voice of God…Now, what does the white horse mean?... I got Smith's book on "Daniel's Revelation."… And they said,…"The man that set on that was the white horse was the Holy Spirit…Now, that sounds very good, but it isn't the Truth…My revelation by the Holy Spirit is: Christ and the Holy Spirit is the self same Person (See?), only in a different form. So here stands Christ, the Lamb. We know He was the Lamb. He's standing here with the Books in His hand, and there goes the white horse rider. See? So it wasn't the Holy Spirit…

Now, the Holy Spirit is Christ in another form. That's right. Notice, it is a Lamb that opened the Book, and the Lamb is Christ; and Christ is not seen anymore from then, but He is seen in the Book of Revelations the 19th chapter, coming on a white horse…There comes the Messiah. There He is, not this fellow on this horse back here…so if this guy is riding a white horse, he's only an impersonator of Christ. See? Get that? Notice, the rider on the white horse don't have any name. He might use two or three titles, but he hasn't got any name. But Christ has a Name. What is it? The Word of God…The rider has no arrows for his bow. He had a bow, but there's nothing said about having any arrows; so he must be a bluffer…Who is this mysterious rider that starts forth in the first church age and rides plumb on out into eternity, goes to the end…He's mighty in his conquering power…He's the antichrist... Jesus said that the two would be so close together until it would deceive the very elected, the Bride, if it was possible. Antichrist, it's the antichrist spirit…

Remember in the church ages when we opened the first church age back there, we found out that the Holy Spirit was against a certain thing that got started in that church age, and that was called "the deeds of the Nicolaitanes."…"Nico" means "to conquer." "Laity" means "the church, the laity." "Nicolaitanes" "to conquer the laity": take the Holy Spirit out of the church and give it all to one holy man, let him be the boss of all of it. You went through it (See?). Notice, Nicolaitia was a saying in one church; it become a doctrine in the next church age. And in the third church age it was a forcement; and they had the Nicaea Council. And it was then made a doctrine and a church. And what was the first thing happened? An organization from it. Tell me where the first organized church come from: Roman Catholic church…

Look, he starts out to conquer. Notice, he has no crown. The white horse rider; I'm speaking of here. See? A bow and a crown was given him afterwards. See? He had no crown to start with, but later he was given a crown: yeah, three of them, three on one. That was three hundred years later at the Nicaea Council…Today he's under the disguisement of a white horse…The white horse, he's a deceiver now…

Notice, when Nicolaitia, antichrist is finally... He's incarnate in a man; then he's crowned. When he starts off as a Nicolaitia spirit in the church, he's a spirit. You can't crown a spirit. But three hundred years later he become a pope. And then they crowned him... Now, remember, about the time Christ come on the throne, the antichrist come on the throne: Judas. About the time Christ went off the earth, Judas went off the earth. Just about the time the Holy Spirit come back, the antichrist come back.

You know, John said over here: "Little children, I would not have you ignorant, you know, about the antichrist, which he's already come and working in the children of disobedience." The antichrist then, there he was, begin to form in there the Nicolaitane spirit to make an organization…There it is, that Nicolaitane spirit God hated, and now that spirit become incarnate, and they crowned it... Not only Catholic, but Protestant, the whole thing, it's all the whole organized world. That's that white horse rider under the way of a white, righteousness church (See?), but an antichrist. It's got to look like--on a horse even, just like Christ is coming on a horse. All anti--so close it'd deceive the very elect...

Now, we got our picture and know that he's Rome. We know that he's the white horse rider. We know that he went forth as a doctrine. And then what was pagan Rome? Converted into papal Rome and crowned…Notice, Nicolaitia, the antichrist teaching that started in the days of Paul against God's Word: antichrist... Then he's called again the false prophet, which when the teaching become a man, he was a prophet to the teaching of the hierarchy of the hierarchy of the Catholic church. The Pope was the prophet to the false word, and that made him a false prophet…The third stage is a beast, a man that's crowned in the last days with every power that pagan Rome ever had, because the seven-headed beast, dragon, was cast out of heaven and come incarnate in the false prophet. Here it is; he had seven crowns, and he was cast out and throwed into the earth and the sea. All right.

What are we saying? Who is this rider, this horse rider? You know what it is? It's Satan's superman…a incarnate devil. He's a educated genius…This is the Satan's superman with education, with wisdom, with church theology of his own word, of his own making, and he rides his white denominational horse to deceive the people. And he will conquer every religion of the world, 'cause they've all going into the confederation of churches…

He showed there's a man going forth with a white horse and with his bow and no arrow. He's a bluff. He has no power…

That white horse rider has been in the land all the time. He will change from antichrist. He does that and becomes to a false prophet. See, he first started an antichrist, the spirit; then he become a false prophet. Then later, when the devil is cast out, he's incarnate then with the devil. Three stages." (The first seal- Page 141-176).

When the slain, risen Lamb opened it, and the second calf-like beast said, "Come, see what the seal mystery is… A red horse and his rider goes forth; power given to him to slay with a great sword. Now, here's my revelation of it: This is Satan again. It's the devil again in another form… this man has a sword so he pertains to church political war… Notice the change of color of these horses: same rider... And a horse is a beast, and the beast in the Bible under a symbol represents a power. The same system riding on another color power from the innocent white to a bloody red...

When he first started, he was just a little doctrine amongst called the Nicolaitanism. Of course it wouldn't slay anything…It's just a doctrine, just a spirit amongst the people…But when this spirit become incarnate in the second work of his dispensation of his mystic... The second work he become a crowned false prophet to the working of the antichrist spirit... Satan controls the political powers of the world…(Matthew the 4th chapter and the 8th verse). All the kingdoms belong to him. That's the reason they fight, war, kill.

They was given this sword to kill one another. Oh, my. Notice now. Now, when he did that he did not have the ecclesiastical power yet; but he started in with a demon of a false teaching, and that teaching become a doctrine. That doctrine become incarnate in a false prophet, and then he went just to the right place; he never went to Israel now, he went to Rome, Nicaea, Rome.

The council was held, and they elected a head bishop. And then by doing this they united church and state together. Then he dropped his bow; he got off his white horse; he got on his red horse, for he can kill anybody that don't agree with him. There's your Seal… Now, we find out he unites his power. Then when he become both state and church, the ecclesiastical, then what are you going to do? He forms his own religion, and now he can do whatever he wants to. Then he has the right to put to death whosoever will not agree with him.

That's exactly what he did too. And he did that just exactly. And when he did it to the true saints of the living God who kept the Word and wouldn't agree with him on his dogmas, he put them to death…

I am quoting from the Martyrology: "From the time of Saint Augustine of Hippo until 1586 on the Roman martyrology, the Roman Catholic church put sixty-eight million Protestants to death." Was his sword red? Was he riding a red horse? What was it? The same power, the same rider. There's the Seal. They admit sixty-eight million on the martyrology besides all those put to death outside of that. Oh, mercy. During the dark ages there were millions fed to lions and slaughtered in every way, because they wouldn't bow down to that Catholic dogma… 17th chapter of Revelation… So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman...

And did you know what, the Catholic's own writing admit this is their church? How many knows that? Right in their own writing, I got "Facts of our Faith" it's called that… And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus… His bow had no arrows at first, but his great sword did. He done his killing later and changed from white horse to a red horse, the same exactly devil with his sword…

Satan, united the political powers which he held and the spiritual powers which he held together and made a church that sweeps into every nation; and he's put millions times millions (after he had jumped off from his white horse onto his red horse), and he took his sword and went forth; but God said with the same thing that he perverted, or tried to--the false teaching, that same Word will rise in power, coming forth from the lips of Jesus Christ, and it shall slay him and everything before him. Amen. There's the Second Seal. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD." (The second seal - page 207-222).

"The Lamb breaks the Third Seal, the third beast... living creature like a man said to John, "Come, see what it is, this mystery that's been hid… This rider is the same one but another stage of his ministry… Now, here is the mystery of the black horse according to what it was revealed to me. He has started riding him in the time of the dark ages. That's what the dark horse represented: the dark ages, for it was a time of midnight to the true believers that was left… Practically all hope had been taken from the true church for this fellow controlled both church and state…Catholicism had taken over both church and state, and all didn't agree with Catholicism was killed. That's the reason he was on a dark horse…

His balances or his scales in his hand, calling out "A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny." See? Actually that is... Wheat and barley is natural staff of life. That's what bread and stuff's made from. But you see, he was charging for this.

What it means, that he was charging his subjects for the kind of the hope of life that he was sending out to them... he started in that very time of making them pay for prayer, charging for prayer. They still do it--novenas. "Cause, what was he doing? Capturing the wealth of the world… he was stripping his subjects of their money… And here he is charging for the kind of life, that's this barley and stuff, natural. It wasn't spiritual…

See that thou hurt not this wine and oil." Just a little bit of it left, brother. "Don't you touch that." Now, oil symbolizes the Spirit, the Holy Spirit… oil typifies Spirit, and wine symbolizes stimulation of revelation… "Don't you hurt My wine and My oil. Don't you touch it, My wine and oil. Now, I've got just a little bit of it down there, but there's still a little bit there. Yes, sir. Now, you can go on through and measure out all that kind of life that you're putting out; that's up to you. You're going to pay for it down there; but when you come across that wine and oil, you leave it alone." Oh, my.

In other words, like this: "If you catch some of My little flock that's filled with My oil and wine of the pure Word (See?) and you're going to kill them, 'cause you're doing that, that's what you're doing, don't you force them to say any "hail Marys," or do anything like that or some of your creeds. You keep your hands off them… Don't go trying to messing them up…

Notice. It was not one of the four beasts that said, "Don't touch the oil and the wine."… What was it? The Lamb…that it's the revelation that He give me." (The third seal - pages 262-276).

"John went to see, and he saw a pale horse and again the same rider upon this pale horse. Now, he has a name called death. None of the other horses or no time that this rider ever rode, that man had no name, but now he is called death… Now, it is mentioned that he's called death… Not under the revelation of the lion age or the first age, this wasn't revealed… But in the eagle age, the last age, the prophetic age where there is to rise prophetic utterance (See?), to whom the secrets always comes…

The fourth horse…The first one was white, and then the next one was red, and the next one was black, and the fourth one... All of these other three was represented in it, because pale is red and white and so mixed together. See? It's all mixed in this one horse… He's in four here. First, antichrist, white; second, false prophet, red; third, vicar of heavens and earth and purgatory, black; fourth, the beast, pale horse, Satan being kicked out of heaven. You want to read that? Revelations 12:13, Satan being kicked out of heaven...

Then in Revelations 13:1-8, he is incarnate in the person of the beast… Notice now, he will be given a heart of a beast at that time, and Satan will incarnate himself, because when the Church goes up, Satan's cast out… this last ride. He's on his last now. Now, that is not in our day. That will be on down. It's the Seal foretold. 'Cause, see, the Church has done gone up when this happens… Notice, the antichrist was on a pale horse, mixed color. A horse is a beast that represents a power. His power is all mixed up. Why? It's politics; it's--it's national powers; it's religious powers; it's demon powers…

His name was death, and hell followed after him. Now, hell always follows death in the natural. When the natural man dies, hell follows him; that's the grave, hades; that's in the natural. But in the spiritual it's a lake of fire…

What is this all coming to?... The first thing in heaven was a battle. Lucifer was kicked out… And now, from the battle in heaven, it's coming to the battle on earth, and it is to be finished on earth at the end time in a battle called Armageddon… Now, on this mixed colored, worldly, pale, sick horse... he gathers them--from the four corners of the earth. They are gathering now for the showdown… they are joining themselves together, coming to that showdown to Armageddon…political power, spiritual power controlled by demon power which is the antichrist… gathering his subjects from every nation under heaven…

Not only is he getting ready, but Christ is getting ready to meet him. The battle's going to be hot and heavy. Christ, in Revelations 19... is gathering His…from the four corners of heaven… on a snow white horse. He also has a name, not death, but the Word of God, Life… Here we see Life and death coming to the final struggle. The white horse of true Life, the pale horse of mixed creed…

Jezebel is the type of the modern church today… the dogs eat her flesh… And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations…Who's He smiting? Jezebel and her Ahab, false prophet.)…He feeds them to the beasts and birds… "Kill with the sword and death and beasts of the earth." See? The Jezebel church, her actually body, is to be eaten by fowls and beasts of the earth. Just exactly like Ahab and Jezebel was in the natural, so are they to be in the spiritual form a church." (The fourth seal - pages294-330).

Notice, there is no mention of another beast or a living creature to this announcement of the Fifth Seal… Why?... the mystery of the church ages are already finished at this time. The mystery of the antichrist is revealed at this time. The antichrist took his last ride… The Church absolutely is raptured at this time… these Seals here are revealing what has been, what is, and what will be…

this Fifth Seal being opened, the Church is gone. It just can't be the souls under--the early church… these cannot be them souls, because the souls of the righteous martyred and the righteous people, the Church, the Bride, has done been took up; so they wouldn't be under the altar. They'd be in glory with the Bride…

Now, who are these souls then?... This is Israel that's to be saved as a nation, all them that are predestinated… Romans the 11th chapter, the 25th and 26th verse… They were killed for the Word of God's sake, not for the testimony of Christ. Did you understand that? But remember, the church come in. Also the martyrs of the church was for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ… But these didn't have the testimony of Jesus Christ "... for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held," as Jews. And Hitler hated them, so did Eichmann, so did Stalin, all of the rest of the world (See?), but they stayed true to what they believed. And they killed them because they were Jews…

Now, verse 10. Notice, they asked for revenge. See? Now, if that had been the Bride, it'd been like Stephen: "Father, forgive them,"… Now, notice. Thy brethren had to yet be killed, which means the hundred and forty-four thousand yet to be called in the tribulation…And I do think another thing: by the opening of this Fifth Seal in this day, straightens up a doctrine right here that I might speak of, of soul sleeping… Under the altar of the breaking of this Seal that had been slain in the time between the death of Christ and the going up of the Church." (The fifth seal pages 343-388).

"This Sixth Seal is the tribulation period… God is not dealing with the Church no more. It's been gone. He's dealing with Israel… This is when Israel receives the message of the Kingdom by the two prophets of Revelations 11… it's the time that God will call that one hundred and forty-four thousand Jews in this last three and a half years…

These great happenings to nature, has happened before, in this 12th verse here. See? The sun became as black as sackcloth of hair… Exodus 10:21-23… when nature happens like this, has been? God calling Israel. (See?) God's calling out Israel…God was about to deliver Israel there, bring them out of their enemy's hand, which was Egypt at that time. Now, here He is bringing them out of the Roman hands, where they'd made their covenant. Same thing happens. That's the plagues. The time that these plagues will Fall, they'll plague this group of Gentiles…

Now, watch here these two prophets, look what they're going to do now: just like Moses and them did down there… [Revelation 11:3-5]… They can do nature anyway they want to. Here it is. They're the one who brings on this Sixth Seal. They uncover and open it up. It's the power of God to interrupt nature. See, the Sixth Seal, is completely an interruption of nature.

Do you get it now? There's your Seal. Who does it? It's the prophets the other side of the rapture. With the power of God, the Word of God, they just condemn nature. They can send earthquakes, turn the moon into blood, the sun can go down or anything at their command. Amen… it shows exactly who does it. It's Moses and Elijah, 'cause there's their ministry reimpersonated again: both men. Oh, my. Do you see it now? See what the Sixth Seal is? It's those prophets…

13th chapter of Isaiah…Isaiah seen this Seal hanging there… when He's cleansing the land with tribulations… the whole world in its birth pains, the world is trying; she's travailing, Isaiah said. What's the matter? She's trying to bring forth a new world for the millennium... trying to birth a new world for a new people that won't sin and pollute her." (The sixth seal - pages 419 -439).

"We must remember that this Seventh Seal is the end of time of all things. That's right. The things written in the Seven Seal Book (sealed up of the plan of redemption from before the foundation of the world)…It was so great, Jesus never mentioned it: none of the rest of them. John couldn't even write of it. No, he was forbidden to write here. See,…He didn't write, but just silence …Why? What is it? Now, none of us know; but I'm going to tell you my revelation of it…

And now, as certain as I stand in the platform tonight, I had the revelation that revealed-it's in a threefold manner. That, I will speak to you by God's help of a fold of it…Here's the revelation to begin... I want to tell you what it is. What happens is that those seven thunders that he heard thunder and was forbidden to write, that's what the mystery is laying behind those seven consecutive thunders rolling out… Now, why? Let us prove it. Why? It is the secret that no one knows about. John was forbidding to write about it, even write a symbol about it. Why? This is why there was no activity in heaven; it might give away the secret… It was so great till it's kept secret from the Angels.

Now, why? If Satan should get a hold of it, he might do great damage. There's one thing he don't know. Now, he can interpret anything he wants to, and impersonate any kind of a gift, but he can't know this. It's not even written in the Word. It's a total secret…What is it? It's the thing that Jesus said even the Angels of heaven didn't know nothing about it. See, see? He didn't know it Himself, said only God would know it, but He told us when we begin to see these signs coming up... (Now, you getting somewhere? All right.) Notice, we begin to see these signs coming up…Remember, Satan will try to impersonate. He will try to impersonate everything that the Church will do. He's tried to do it. We've noticed it through the antichrist; but this is one thing he cannot impersonate. There'll be no mimics to this (See?), 'cause he don't know it. There's no way for him to know it. It's the third pull. He just knows nothing about it. See? He doesn't understand it…)…but there's a secret lays beneath that…But there's a secret lays beneath that. Glory to God in the highest. I can never think the same the rest of my life, when I seen...

Now I know the next step there, but I don't know how to interpret that. It won't be long. I've got wrote down here when it happened, if you can see here, "STOP! Go no further than this right here." I'm not prone to be a fanatic. I'm just telling the truth. But you remember, the little shoe that I always tried to explain, how that the soul laid next to so-and-so and the inner conscience and all that kind of stuff, which it only made a big bunch of impersonations start after it…

Now, notice, remember the vision of the constellation?...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. 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? Here it is. The one with the Seventh Seal

…And in Sabino Canyon, He said, "This is the third pull." And there's three great things that goes with it, and one unfolded today, or yesterday, the other one unfolded today, and there's one thing that I cannot interpret, because it's in an unknown language… Now, I'd better stop right here. See? I just feel checked not to say no more about it. See? So just remember, the Seventh Seal, the reason it was not opened (See?), the reason He did not reveal it, no one should know about it… Notice now, for the end of time message (this Seal), after all He's revealed all the six Seals, but it don't say nothing about the Seventh. And the end time Seal, when it starts, will be absolutely a total secret according to the Bible…

Now, notice. So help me, by God I tell the truth, that these are spiritually discerned to me…Now, what this great secret is that lays beneath this Seal, I do not know. I don't know it. I couldn't make it out. I couldn't tell it, just what it said. But I know that it was them seven thunders uttering themselves right close together, just banging seven different times, and it unfolded into something else that I seen

Then when I seen that, I looked for the interpretation that flew across there, and I couldn't make it out. That's exactly right, friend. See? The hour isn't quite yet for it, but it's moving into that cycle. See? It's coming up close. So the thing for you to do is to remember that I speak to you in the Name of the Lord: Be prepared, for you don't know what time something can happen…I'm only telling you what I seen and what has been told to me, and now, you do whatever you want to. I don't know who's going to-what is going to take place. I do not know. I just know that those seven thunders holds that mystery, that heavens was quieted. (Everybody understand?) It may be time. It may be the hour now, that this great person that we're expecting to rise on the scene may rise on the scene. Maybe this ministry that I have tried to take people back to the Word has laid a foundation; and if it has, I'll be leaving you for good. There won't be two of us here at the same time. See? If it is, he will increase, I'll decrease. I don't know. But I have been privileged by God to look and see what it was--unfold to that much. Now, that is the truth…

When will it be, Brother Branham?" I cannot tell you. I do not know... One of the mysteries of that Seal, the reason it wasn't revealed, it was seven thunders that uttered their voices, and there it is perfectly, because nothing knows anything about it; it wasn't even written…Don't try to interpret the things. Don't try to do anything more than just live a close life, giving praise and honour to Jesus Christ. Every body understands that now? Love him with all your heart. Do you do it…

Our heavenly Father, may the people, Lord, understand, which I am sure that there's some that doesn't… "Then, Lord, I pray that You'll help me. I'm beginning to fade away, Lord. I know my days can't be too many more, and I pray that You'll help me. Let me be true, Lord, and honest and sincere that I might be able to bear the message as far as it's ordained for me to bear. And when it comes to the time that I must lay down, when I get down to the river, and the waves begin to come in, O God, may I be able to hand this old Sword over to somebody else that'll be honest with It, Lord, and will pack the truth. Grant it, Lord…

It'll be a good thing that he doesn't know anything about it, because if he did, then he would impersonate that. That's his tricks in doing things. So therefore, God has made it so hid to the whole world, even to heaven, that there is no way of understanding it, only as God will reveal it Himself…

… 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… Did you notice when the Jews asked Him that? You know when we compared the Scripture here with Matthew 24 with the six Seals, the Seventh Seal was left out; because (You see?), Christ said only God Himself knowed, not even the Angels. No wonder, it wasn't even written. You see, they hushed; nothing take place then. Angels don't know it; nobody knows when He's coming. But there'll be…seven voices of these thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time.

… So I believe... If we don't know it, and it won't be known 'til that time, but it will be revealed in that day, in the hour that it's supposed to be revealed in. So the thing for us to do is to be reverent before God and serve Him, and do all that we know how to do, and live good Christian lives. …Here now, we find that the Sixth Seal has been opened to us; we see it, and we know that this Seventh Seal cannot be broke to the public until that hour arrives.

… Now, there was some reason that God let this seven voices be thundered, because it must come (See?)…we find that Christ, the Lamb took the Book in His hand, and He opened that Seventh Seal. But you see, it's a hidden mystery. No one knows it. But it's right along with what He said: no one would know His coming; they also would not know about this seven thunder mystery. So you see, it's connected together…

That much we have an understanding of it today, because the rest of it is all unfolded, but this is not unfolded. But sitting in my room, and I heard this…not heard it, rather, but seen it unfold to this seven thunders. Now, that's as far as we can go right there. And now I trust that each and every one of you will serve God, and do that which is right, and love Him all your life and serve Him, and God will take care of the rest. …Now, we have in the completion here now, by the grace of God, all the mysteries of the six Seals that's been sealed up, and we understand and know here that the Seventh Seal is not to be known to the public. …

You see Israel's gathering in its own homeland. But you notice, He omitted the revelation of this Seventh Seal. And here when the Seventh Seal, when He opened it, He also omitted it again. See? So we see that it is a complete mystery, therefore, the hour is not yet for this mystery to be known, therefore, we're this far and the rest of it will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again for His Bride, or whatever takes place at that time. Now, until that time, let's just all pray and live good straight Christian lives, looking forward for His coming…

And now, if this tape would happen to fall into the hands of some persons somewhere, don't try to make any kind of an "ism" out of it. The only thing you do, you just continue serving God, because this great secret is so great that God wouldn't even let John write it. It thundered out, but He... knowing that... promising us that it would be opened, but to this time, it isn't opened.

… Another thing, I want you to notice what taken place. And if you're listening to the tape of "What Time Is It, Sir?" you will notice that one Angel was very notable to me…He was to my left in the constellation in a form of a pyramid. And you remember, it was in the pyramid where the mysterious white rock was not written on. And the Angels took me into that pyramid of themselves, the mysteries of God known only to them. And now, they were the messengers that come to interpret that pyramid or that message of the secret of these Seven Seals which lays with inside the pyramid.

… Now, the Angel was to my left, would really be the last, or seventh Angel, if we would count them from left to right, because he was on my left, me looking to him towards the west, him coming towards the east would be on the left side, so that would be the last angel's message: very notable. You remember how I said he had his head back, and his great sharp wings, and how he flew right to me. Now, that is this Seventh Seal. It still is a notable thing. And we…don't know what it is as yet, because it's not permitted to be broken. … Now, the vision, plus the Word, plus the history, plus the church ages; and all blend together. So I could truly say that to the best of my understanding and according to the Word of God and the vision and the revelation, the interpretation thereof is THUS SAITH THE LORD.

By casual observation, any half-way spiritual believer or reader can understand that six seals were revealed to Elijah the Prophet William. Branham, that the seventh seal was not revealed, but God in his mercy gave him certain clues and scriptural connections pertinent to this most mysterious seal. It was revealed to him that the seventh seal, the seven thunders and the coming of the Lord is the same revelation. Though he solemnly warned the people that they should not try to interpret the seventh seal, they in willful disobedience formulated many misinterpretations, which have become major seals related heresies. I am ready to embark upon the tedious task of exposing such major heresies.

A most important factor which must be established is that many major heresies are based upon the occasion of the loosing of the seals and misinterpretations of the seventh seal and others are not, since a few agree that the seventh seal was not revealed in 1963. It can be observed by casual consideration by people who are acquainted with the message, even for a short period of time that most ministers and believers agree on the first six seals. The great controversy is on the seventh seal/seven thunders. Many heresies are hinged on this subject. What you are going to hear in the form of questions and answers are some of these heresies that the false anointed ones formulated. Now, by exposing these heresies, bringing to you and the overseas church the truth. We are able to identify the false anointed one. Didn't Jesus say, "False Christ and false prophets shall arise but ye shall know them by their fruits." Alright, what are the fruits? The fruits are the doctrines that they preach and the lives that they live. Don't matter how high a 'revelation' that they can preach, they live nothing. And don't matter how much 'thunders' that they could speak about and how high they could exalt themselves there is one thing that they cannot do, and that is to line up the Word from Genesis to Revelation, that it does not contradict itself. Jesus exposed the Pharisees. He said, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him." (John 8:44). Yes! So a false anointed one cannot abide in the message and scriptures. He cannot abide in the seals without contradiction.

These heresies that I am going to expose in the form of questions and answers, actually identifies these false anointed ones who Brother Branham exposed after the seals. I heard this through personal eye witnesses. When Brother Branham came there that morning and said, "My message this morning would be false anointed ones in the end time." There was weeping, wailing, groaning and crying. Now when The Messiah walked through Jerusalem, demons cried out. They did not want to be exposed. And when demons do not want to be exposed, they start crying out. So, when Brother Branham went to the pulpit after the seals and exposed these false anointed ones. There was weeping and wailings. Each one of these heresies, is for the purpose of identifying these false anointed ones. And let me make this statement friends to you here locally and the overseas church, "It doesn't matter what 'prophet' you're sitting under, what eighth messenger, how nice a brother, how nice a pastor, how lovely a brother that he is, how much experience he has in the Word of God, if he walked with the prophet, talked with the prophet, hunted with the prophet, and he is preaching one of these heresies that is contrary to the seals, he is anointed by the devil. And if after hearing the truth outlined the way that it is outlined here in the Word of God, he will resist and fight it, then he is a false anointed one. Of course if they hear me say that, they will say that I am a false anointed one. But I am straight on the Word of God; and false anointed ones are not straight on the Word of God. That is why I can challenge anybody around the world to come and show me where I deviated from Brother Branham's message or from the Bible. None cannot show me that!

Anyone of these heresies that your pastor, your 'prophet,' your 'eighth' messenger your wife, your son or your husband is identified with, it shows that they have the wrong spirit, and if they do not come out of their delusion after hearing the truth, then they may be born a false anointed one and unto condemnation. You better know where you are standing when you say that; and I know where I am standing; right on the rock of divine revelation, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Answers too many questions will makes up a great portion of this work and will explain in details. How these heresies were formulated, when they were formulated, who formulated them, and why they were formulated.

After six seals were preached, the anointed Elijah for the age stopped and said "Now we are going to have questions and answers on the seals". The questions that were asked about eighty percent never pertained to the seals. Now that goes to show the shallowness of the people and their lack of understanding of the seals. Those questions reflected a lack of revelation on the people's path. Certain questions showed that there were seeds of discrepancies, heretical seeds, interpretations of men already in the hearts of the people. They asked the prophet should they continue in evangelism since the seals were opened. They asked the prophet if after the seals are preached is grace and mercy over. The prophet of God said that he met a man who asked; where is the millennium? He heard that the millennium started in Jeffersonville. Brother Branham said that he had not heard about it. {Questions & Answers seals page 515-516}.

The prophet of God was taken away two years later, in 1965, and false christs arose, as prophesied by our Lord Jesus (Matthew 24), and were used of Satan to counterattack his great exposition, by heresies based on the seals. Heretics sowed their seeds of discrepancies and established their heresies, internationally. Now those seeds of heresies that was reflected at the question and answer meeting later through the years became established doctrines magnified thousands of times from 63 to the time in which we live it is more than 40 years those seeds of discrepancy, heretical seeds that was in the people's hearts who sat and heard the seals have grown for 40 long years and have become established doctrines in the minds of the people, ministers and their assemblies. It is not easy to break through those heresies. They are like thick iron bars.

In existence is every imaginable heresy around the message, and they are related to the seals. Each heretic use the seals as their basis to project their doctrine, they still continue to preach up to today that Grace is over, since the seals are opened the rapture is taking place, nobody could be saved again, the blood is off the mercy seat, the millennium has started, the Lord Jesus is now on earth in his second coming, communion and feet washing should be discontinued, there is no physical return of the Lord Jesus in his second coming, he only returns in his presence {Parousia}, there are fourteen seals, seven is yet to be revealed, seven men to reveal the seven thunders, eight messengers incarnations of the Lord Jesus, the spoken books is now the bible. All these and other major heresies are seals related. This lesson is going to highlight many of these seals related heresies with the hope that it brings deliverance to God's children who are in bondage of these satanic doctrine throughout the world.

We are conscious that this will expose men in high places, principalities and powers that now profess to preach the message of the hour. It will challenge the beliefs of many ministers and believers, and we trust, will bring great deliverance to God's sheep, around the world.

Quote: 262 "Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed…And remember the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in the Word. 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." (Anointed ones at the end time 65-0725).

Such men could not be born in none other age but in this age. Jude said that certain men crept in who were ordained to this condemnation. Beloved, there are some ordained to condemnation and some that are ordained to eternal life and that is who I believe that I am addressing to here, people who have proven to be born unto eternal life, because they heard his voice, humbled their hearts, forsook your former lives and sit humbly under the Word of God.

Quote: E-72 "The hour is here, brother, when... "As Jambres and Jannes withstood Moses, so will they, men of reprobate mind, concerning the truth, who was foreordained of old to this condemnation," says the Bible. They could not believe. And they will not believe. The Bible said that in this day that we're living now, that men from old was ordained to be condemned, who turned the grace of our God into lasciviousness. Do you see what I mean? Jude 4th chapter, or 4th verse. Read and see if that isn't so.. How can they believe when the Bible has done said they can't believe?" (God keeps His Word 57-0115).

There were vessels designed, and specially framed, to be born in a certain time, in a certain age to work out the plan of God, there were certain men ordained to be false anointed ones in the end time. Judas was foreordained to be Judas. Jesus said that he came from hell and went back to hell. Now but don't forget that all that is based upon the foreknowledge of God. God who knows the end from the beginning, knows exactly what is in the heart of man. I don't know what is in the heart of man. I look upon a man's smile and how good his hair is, and all the outside appearances. The Lord said that He looketh upon the heart of man, but man looketh upon the outward appearance.

God, way back there, before two children were born: Esau and Jacob. He said, "Jacob I love, Esau I hate. How could God hate a baby before it was born? "God loves everybody." That is only a good saying in the world, that the Lord loves everybody. God hates some people and loves some people. It's the truth. That's the Bible. Later on it was manifested why God hated Esau. His Prophet daddy loved him with all his heart, but God saw the bad part in that man before the foundation of the world. Hebrews 12:16 said that he was a fornicator. And while he was living in the Prophet house, he was a filthy, nasty fornicator, and that spirit of lust took hold of that man, and he did not care anything about the message that his daddy was preaching. His prophet daddy was preaching about a promise land; type of the token; and he got hungry one day and he said, "What will this birthright do to me? Give me some soup man." And he sold his birthright for a bowl of soup.

Look at the attitude of a next man, Jacob. He did do without the food. And said, "Swear to me this day that you'll sell your birthright" You see brethren, it's your attitude, and God foresaw the attitude of these two fellows from the foundation of the world. Just the same, the Lord foresaw my attitude and your attitude, he has you seated here today. And there are certain men whom he foreknew from the foundation of the world as vessels of dishonor to perfect his plan, they were born an Oral Roberts, a Billy Graham and (great names in the world, a Tommy Hicks an A.A. Allan, born a pope or a Cardinal. Great men of the earth, and they are working right in the plan of the Almighty.

Quote: E-68 "We realize that there's people that was born to never see it. We know that. God wasn't willing for them to do it, but the Bible said that they were foreordained to this condemnation. How many knows the Bible says that? Just the same as you was foreordained to Eternal Life." (Jehovah Jireh 57-0810).

There are certain men who were born around the time of the opening of the seals, or before that, in the time of the messenger, for a certain purpose. Now don't you know that's scripture?[Congregation says, "Amen!"]

About the time that Jesus was born, there was a Judas crying in a crib. God ordained those two women to be pregnant around the same time. And on the other hand he had another fellow called John the Baptist, born six months apart, from Jesus and they were all going to play out a certain part. Nobody had known that Jesus would play out the part of Messiah, and John was going to be the forerunner, and that fellow called Judas down there, a nice little boy running around was going to be the betrayer, and the people did not know that the sons of Zebedee and Peter and all those fellows were born for a certain purpose, but they were ordained to be born in the time of the messiah. They had about the same age and they were so born. All that Jesus had to do was to walk down by the seaside in front of Zebedee and say, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." And the bible said that they forsook their nets, and they started following this fellow out here. They were born for a certain purpose upon the face of the earth. And as certain as they were born for a certain purpose, you were born for a certain purpose, around the time of the seals, in this age.

As certain as William Branham was foreordained of God and recorded of in the scripture to be born upon the earth in the age of the opening of the seals, there were believers also foreordained to be born at that season, that time. And as certain as there were believers and a true Prophet foreordained my beloved, there were also false anointed ones foreordained like Judas, to be upon the earth at this special time.

The opening of the seals was that great supper of the Lord. In that great supper of the Lord, the false anointed one typifies Judas sitting at the supper table. Now just as certain as the apostles and the disciples were sitting and enjoying the supper with the Lord, and there was a Judas in the midst, at the opening of the seals, there were also Judases, false anointed ones, sitting right in the tabernacle, who came from different states, and there are others who were born for that certain purpose, sitting around the world, to receive the message of Brother Branham and the preaching of the seals to pervert it.

Quote:E-27 Some men was foreordained to that condemnation. The Bible said so--can't be saved, blinded from the beginning, born to be blind. We'll get that this next week. That didn't go very good, but I will prove to you by the Scriptures; it's the truth. And they'll absolutely be religious teachers, fundamental as they can be. That's exactly right." (Pillar of fire 53-0509).

Now at the time of the opening of the seals these people had to be upon earth. To crown that off to you, Jesus seen them two thousand years ago, and they asked Him, "What is the sign of your coming?" He said, "Beware of false Prophets, for many shall come in my name saying that I am Christ." They are going to tell you this and tell you that. He said, "Go not after them."

Jesus crowned that off to show that when He gets ready to come in the end time, there will be men specially born as false Prophets. That is not something made up. Jesus said that. He spoke of His coming, and in relation to His coming, He also emphasized that there will be false prophets upon the face of the earth. We could not have these false Christs and false prophets before the opening of the seals, in its right scriptural fulfillment. They had to wait for the opening of the seals, which has to do with the coming of the Lord, in order to impersonate that coming. You see, they wanted certain nuggets and they wanted certain clues, in order to be deceptive. So now, they waited until that time and until they got these clues. The best clues to impersonate the coming of the Lord and different doctrines and so on, is the opening of the seals.

Quote: "This is why there was no activity in heaven; it might give away the secret… If Satan should get a hold of it, he might do great damage. There's one thing he don't know. Now, he can interpret anything he wants to, and impersonate any kind of a gift, but he can't know this. It's not even written in the Word. It's a total secret… Remember, Satan will try to impersonate…There'll be no mimics to this (See?), 'cause he don't know it. There's no way for him to know it. It's the third pull. He just knows nothing about it. See? He doesn't understand it…)…but there's a secret lays beneath that… Now I know the next step there, but I don't know how to interpret that…I've got wrote down here when it happened,… "STOP! Go no further than this right here." …you remember, the little shoe that I always tried to explain… which it only made a big bunch of impersonations start after it…And now, if this tape would happen to fall into the hands of some persons somewhere, don't try to make any kind of an "ism" out of it. (The seventh seal 24/3/63).

Satan is afraid of the opening of the seals because he knows that, it exposed him and will bring the coming of the Lord and the rapture. Satan is not bothered about the people in the organizations or their people who are preaching water baptism, a woman should not preach and all those elementary doctrines. He is worried about the opening of the seals, because the seals has the weapon to destroy him. It will open the people's eyes and show the people the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes. So he's worried about that.

The Lord's greatest enemies; the greatest false prophets; the greatest so-called Christs that you could ever find is around the opening of the seals. Anybody who is perverting the seals' message, is the worst Antichrist on earth, and they have the most powerful demons on them. Yes! Head demons from the Euphrates are working with them to pervert the revelation of the seals, in order to stop the Bride from going in the rapture. Don't you know that if the devil can pervert the seals and change the revelation of the seals, he can keep the Bride earth bound? Yes, but we wouldn't be earth bound because the Lord gives it by divine revelation, and He said, "Upon this rock shall I build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

So now, these men that were born upon the face of the earth, in this age, they have a certain work to do. Their work is to pervert the message of Brother Branham, to pervert the opening of the seals itself, and to badly damage the seventh seal before it is even revealed; to make interpretations around the world concerning the seventh seal, because that seventh seal holds the coming of the Lord.

These men were ordained to start preaching a revelation about the coming of the Lord, but a wrong revelation, and have the people following them in the deserts, and the secret places, and following some man as an eighth messenger to deceive the people before the seventh seal is broken to the public. Heresies and misinterpretations were brought up by these false anointed ones born for that purpose to try to deceive the Bride in the end time. Brother Branham said:

Quote: 262 "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? 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. (Anointed ones at end time 65-0725m).

Question#307: "Why has Satan, with his false anointed ones, chosen to formulate their heresies based on the seals?"

Quote: 92-1 {152} "From Genesis to Revelations, a complete plan of redemption is revealed in these Seven Seals." (The Breach 63-0317E).

Quote:104-4 {249}"the whole creation lays in His hand now, on which the whole plan of redemption is sealed by Seven mysterious Seals in this Book that He took." (The Breach 63-0317E).

He knows his end, and that he cannot prevail over Christ and His Church, because they are predestinated unto victory. But beyond hope, he desperately fights to the end, to make it harder for each elected member of the Bride, believing, by his foolish pride, that he may yet prevail over Prince Michael. He knows and understands Revelation 12 more than the whole religious world. Lucifer and his angels were cast down, and they will be cast down again from the lower atmosphere unto the earth, then the three woes will begin.

This understanding runs well with his former strategies from Genesis to the present time. He always attacks the present Truth. He did through the Old Testament and misinterpreted every message that the Lord sent. He attacked and destroyed every message that God sent through the seven church ages. God knowing His plan and program reserved the secret weapon, that's foreordained to put him in the bottomless pit, under the seals. The seals are now revealed. He is a worried Lucifer, as a roaring lion, knowing that his days are swiftly closing in. If he can destroy the revelation of the seals and pervert it by his false anointed ones, then he has an extension of time. He has now centralized all his attention in the perversion of the seals, especially the seventh seal, which speaks of the coming of the Lord to destroy him by the brightness of His coming. Thus, the major heresies of Satan, and his strongest weapons are seals related.

"Was the seven seals the Word, the capstone or the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, as "seven thunders" preachers preached for years?"

Alright now friends, we believe that after John the Baptist, came the Word. John the Baptist introduced The Messiah. Is that right? Was He the Word? [Congregation says, "Amen!"] St. John 1:1,14 declared Him to be, "The Word of God made manifest in human flesh." He was the head of the church [Congregation says, "Amen!"] Okay, that was the Word. That was not the outpouring. That was not the capstone. No, that was the Word. A type of the seals.

Alright now, He, in the first coming of the Lord had to preach the Word of God to those that were ordained to life. The Word of God had to get down inside the apostles and into the disciples before the outpouring came. So they have the cart before the horse. This is a heresy of a heretic, and the prophet of God said:

Quote: E-10 "Now, if the Spirit leads you contrary to the Word, then it's not the Spirit of God…If it's a religious spirit, or some other type of spirit that isn't the Spirit of God, it'll say, "It was for a day gone by, not now." (Looking at the unseen 59-0410).

Any man who takes the promise of God and put it in a day gone by is an antichrist. And we are expecting an outpouring of the Holy Spirit back to the church in order to quicken our mortal bodies, but the devil doesn't want the rapture to take place. So now, he takes the outpouring of the Spirit that will quicken the Bride's body, and he puts it a day gone by, in 1963 when the Word came to the church. He put it forty years back in history. Any man who does that is an antichrist, a false prophet and a false anointed one, born unto condemnation!

Jesus' first coming was the Word. John the Baptist introduced the Word. His ministry faded from that time, and he decreased and the Word increased. That was your first coming: the Word of God revealed in the son of man, Jesus Christ. That Word was to get people born again, and after they were born again, they went up to the upper room to receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Back down there, a man could have said, "Well, I accepted Jesus already, so I have the outpouring." He was wrong! So now, people are saying that they received the Word and they got the Word at the opening of the seals, so that is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, that's the capstone, because Christ is our head. You are mixed up. Some lying preacher fooled you! Some false anointed one went into the Bride chamber and polluted the Bride. You may be a Bride member, but what happened to you is you got polluted and perverted by a false eunuch.

So now that is what the false thunder preachers preached for years. Oh, I contended with them for a long time. Yes. They wrote me from as far as Sri Lanka, and I went through a discussion with a man there. A nice brother. He was trying to prove to me that the capstone came at the opening of the seven seals. Don't matter how many quotations I brought there to show where Brother Branham said differently, this fellow just cannot see that; some false anointed one blinded him.

Quote : 48"Zerubbabel has laid the foundation with his hands; he also shall bring forth the headstone." ….that the seventh church messenger was to restore the faith of the children back to the fathers, in other words, rebuild the church again under the power of the Spirit. "Not by power, not by might, but by My Spirit," saith the Lord. (Message of grace 61-0827).

Quote: 116 "The Dynamics of this church will be a refilling of the Holy Spirit, that we have worked in a small measure while the Headstone is coming down to unite with the Body. But when that Head and Body unites together the full power of the Holy Ghost would raise Her up just exactly like... Even the dead, that's dead in Christ for hundreds of years ago, will rise…The Dynamics is the Holy Spirit. (What.Shall.I.Do.With.Jesus 63-1124m).

Alright, if they have the headstone by the opening of the seals, where is the power to the church? No, Brother Branham called it the dynamics. Brother Branham did not say that the capstone came. This is 1963 now, in the sixth month, and this is what he said:

Quote: 77 "The cap never did come, because it was a cornerstone, it was a headstone. In the church It was the cornerstone. In the full church, It was the Headstone. So It never did come. It was rejected: Christ. And It will come. And I believe that when It's coming, that the Church will shape into a place from justification under Luther, sanctification under Wesley, and the Pentecostal message; will bring the church to such a minority. And a ministry will be among those people till it'll be exactly the same ministry that Jesus Christ did. That'll bring Jesus and catch the whole thing away. (Standing in the gap 63-0623M).

Do you want to tell me that you're brighter than the prophet? You big heretic!!, the prophet of God was looking for the headstone, and he said that the headstone will be coming. But immediately after brother Branham passed on, they now say that the headstone did come at the seals. So you're telling me that Brother Branham was a blind man, that the headstone came at the seals and poor Brother Branham never knew that? You lying heretic, born unto condemnation! If you cannot repent you are born unto condemnation.

Quote: 1021-119 "And now, if you notice on your American dollar bill, that great headstone, an eye, says, "The Great Seal." It will come…when that stone comes, it'll be like a great diamond fitting right down in there just perfect with it." (Questions and answers 64-0823E).

These heretics arose and started perverting the Word of God; that is to take away the promise of God from the church, in order to keep her earth bound. If you start believing that you have the headstone already; you must have all these virtues in you before you have the capstone. That is the devil's trick to bind you and cause you to go through the tribulation.

Quote: 119-4 "These last days, true church Bride comes to the Headstone, will be the super church, a super race… They will be the very manifestation of the Word of the living God.(Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318e).

You had forty years with your 'capstone' to produce a super church, and it is nowhere on the scene, even because the Word and the opening of the seals is not the headstone; it is not the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The opening of the seals was the Word of God, and as we adhere to the Word of God, we will receive an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the super church will come on the scene. We believe that we are part of that, and we are looking for that super church with, "Thus saith the lord." I believe it with all my heart.

Quote: 1021-117"The Headstone's yet to come." (Q. & A. 64-0823E).

I believe the prophet. I don't believe a heretic who says that the capstone came at the seals. Brother Branham said, "It is yet to come," in 1964. We believe that. Oh yes! [Congregation says, "Amen!"]

I am taking my time. Putting in enough dynamite in this weapon that it's got to explode correctly. When it explodes it will come like a suicide bomber. Do you know that many of the apostles were suicide bombers? Yes. They went into the enemy's camps and destroyed the works of the enemy at the cost of their lives as martyrs.

"Was the five-fold ministry set in order at the opening of the seals as some proclaim from the thunders group?"

Quote: "Would the Bride of Christ have a ministry before the rapture? Sure. That's what's going on right now. See? The Bride of Christ... Certainly. It is the Message of the hour (See?), the Bride of Christ. Sure, She's consist of apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. Is that right? That's the Bride of Christ. Sure, She's got a ministry, great ministry; it's the ministry of the hour; it'll be so humble." (Q.A. on the seals 63-0324M).

Brother Branham said, "Sure. That's what's going on right now… Where is it? I am not going by a quotation. If he says that it is going on now, and something is happening, I have got to see the reality if it.

When God set the five-fold ministry in the early church, it was not a quotation, friends. It was something real. It was a reality. I could have seen the apostles, I could see the prophets, I could have seen the evangelists and I could have seen the pastors. Yes. But here they are relying on a quotation. You say, "How do you understand that preacher? The prophet of God said that there is a five-fold ministry of the Bride going on right now." That ministry started in William Branham and he had all five offices operating in him. And by those gifts, being a prophet, he brought the Word of God, and that Word of God was getting the Bride in place for a five-fold ministry to be set in the Bride. Brother Branham was a member of the Bride. So the man came to the earth for a certain purpose. He said, "That is going on right now." Brother Branham had all five office gifts, and the ministry of the Bride was going on, because he was a member of the Bride too. But he was so humble, he did not want to say, "Oral Roberts is not in it, Billy Graham is not in it; and look, Mr. Neville here is not in it and this fellow is not in it." No. Brother Branham knew that it was going on right then. His statement is absolutely different from what Heretics assume, that the fivefold ministry was set in order at the opening of the seals. That ministry was in operation since 1933. Contrary to this Heresy, the prophet preached church order before the seals and was unable to set the gifts in order in his own tabernacle.

Quote: 19 "Tell me, my brother, tell me, my sister, when was the time that the sons of God was ever to be manifested outside of this time now?... Now, all things has been brought, coming, shaping up to a headstone, to the manifestation of sons of God coming back." (Adoption 60-0522E).

Quote: "1021-117 "The Headstone's yet to come." (Q. A. 64-0823E).

The five-fold ministry was going on right there in one man, but then, he was bringing the Word of God to set the five-fold ministry in order, in the church.

The five-fold ministry could not be set in order at the opening of the seals give me the date and time of that event. The opening of the seals represents the son of man, Jesus Christ, like when John the Baptist introduced him into the world. When Jesus came, He never set the five-fold ministry in order; therefore it was not set in order at the opening of the seals. The thing to set the five-fold ministry in order is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So you have the cart before the horse. Yes! It is not the Word at the seals. It is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost that brings into motion a five-fold ministry. There we are; and it is going to be here just as God promised.

That doesn't mean to say that I don't believe in a five-fold ministry. There is a five-fold ministry just like Brother Branham said. There is a five-fold ministry right now upon the face of the earth, but it takes an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to positionally place them. That is why Brother Branham preached a message called placing of the sons. Yes. When we talk about placing of the sons we are talking about placing of the five-fold ministry. What do you think is placing of sons? Everybody is talking about placing of sons; "placing of sons to do signs, wonders and miracles." There is only one kind of placing, and that is apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors. That's your placing of the sons! That is the adoption.

"Was the Tent vision fulfilled at the seals when the Lord met Brother Branham in that room for the opening of the seals?"

Now these men got tired of waiting. But I believe it is more than just tired of waiting, because they aren't waiting for nothing. They were born unto condemnation. Judas wasn't looking for any Pentecost. He was looking in the moneybag, and he showed his colors before Pentecost. And these fellows out here, born unto condemnation, they are taking all the promises of God and perverting and explaining them away from the Bride.

The man called Robert Lambert lost his life for this, because he fought them tooth and nail, even from 1963 friends, while the prophet was alive. He called them antichrist, heretics and false prophets, all who were trying to explain away the promises of God for the hour. We have his tapes and right down the line, he preached until he was murdered, exposing these false prophets. Everybody around the world was saying that there was not any outpouring to come and there is not any promise of God. "It is all over. All that we have to do is wait for the rapture, and the rapture is going to take place in 1970, in 1973; in 1977." They martyred that man because of his stand on the Word of God. I guess he'll be happy to hear today that many, ministers now do understand the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to come, and they are contending for this faith.

Was the tent vision fulfilled at the seals when Brother Branham was in that room? Now how they associate this is that Brother Branham stayed in his house, in a 'room', and inside there he received the revelation of the seals. An angel visited him everyday up to the sixth seal, and then revealed the seal to him.

My beloved, I believe that even through common sense the man that made this should have and measured the room of Brother Branham, because the room in the tent supposed to be twelve feet wide by twenty feet long; and besides that, somewhere outside of that room was supposed to have a tent that will hold maybe one hundred to two hundred thousand. So now, in the room where Brother Branham got the revelation of the seals, they are saying that it was the little room in the tent. I am asking this heretic, "Where is the tent itself?" I tell you, it takes a terrible spirit to explain away the Word of God like that. Yes. And many of these heresies are arising right in America where you have these big brained people with a super spirit, where they think they are a super nation. They are super; they could tell the whole world what to cook in their pot, but you aren't going to tell this preacher what to cook in his pot. A bunch of fanatics!

The biggest set of false prophets are in America, and God is coming to burn that nation with the atomic bomb for their pride. Do you think that Brother Branham was some kind of foolish preacher, that if the tent vision was fulfilled, that he would not know that? He had two years to tell us that and you cannot show me one quotation anywhere, you heretic. You cannot show me one quotation for that nowhere in Brother Branham's message. You can't show me that in the scriptures. Then if you don't have a quotation and you don't have a scripture, you need to save your breath to cool your coffee in the morning. There is coming a ministry to drive you off the trail.

These are the impersonators that Brother Branham spoke about in that vision. He saw a great white horse, and then there came a time when the white horse rider said, "Get off the trail! You cannot ride this trail unless you're ordained for it." And these men are trying to ride this trail here, on a black and white horse. Every heretic has a black and white horse. Every man who is making these heresies out there, he's riding on a black and white horse, and the apostolic church in power is coming soon to drive them off the trail.

That is not the tent. This is only common sense that defeat a heretic, who says that "the little room that Brother Branham got the seals in, that fulfilled the tent vision." You big heretic! You make a little nobody from the Caribbean expose you. Big heretic you! Your head is too big. The super power got up in your head; you apply that spirit in the message of Brother Branham and deceived thousands of people around America, and carry your filth over to Africa and India.

I hope you are understanding that these are the false anointed ones and their doctrines? These are their heresies. And that is how the Bride knows these false anointed ones and identifies these false anointed ones, because they explain the promises of God away.
