And that is the reason for our gathering tonight, and that is to come and see. An Angel cried, and said, "Come and see." The song is saying that He is worthy to loose all the seals. So we are interested tonight in seeing what that is. We welcome those that are visiting from different parts of the country, different parts of the Caribbean, and United States. We welcome each one of you here tonight. So it has fallen my lot again to speak a little bit on the first seal. I will back up just a little, so that you might know what is going on here. Maybe you never heard memorials of the Seals before. One time we too had never heard about that. We went through a great lesson yesterday for the whole day, concerning the closed and the open book, but somebody may not have been here yesterday. So over in the fifth chapter of the book of Revelation, there was a book closed, and it was in the hand of the Almighty. It was a scroll, not a square book like we have. The Lord made everything round, man made everything square. So the hand of God held the book and it was closed. Then over in the book of Revelation chapter ten, we found that same book that was closed. opened in an angel's hand. Now probably you never paid attention to these scriptures as Christian brothers and sisters from the organization, but I wish you will pay attention tonight, and go home and read them because we believe that those scriptures are fulfilled today. And that book being closed in the fifth chapter, it was opened up in the tenth chapter. It is also written in the book of Daniel, chapter twelve, when Daniel seen visions and many prophecies, he was told to seal up the words, yes, close the book and seal the words until the time of the end. We are living in the time of the end, "… many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased" (Daniel 12:4,8-10). We believe that book in the hand of God represented the Bible, and this Bible was closed up for many thousands of years. It was closed up by the parables, dark sentences, and the symbols. The book of Revelation is a book of symbols, and the symbols have the book closed. We just read here of a Lion, we just read here of a Lamb, and we just read about a horse. Now if you have never heard what those symbols mean then it's a mystery to you. But Lion means something, Lamb means something, and horse means something. So now the book was closed, the bible was closed up, the great truths of it, the great mysteries of it. I am not talking about the ABCs. I am talking about the great truths, the hidden truths. The great mysteries of the Bible were hid, the truths of it were hid, and man could only read intellectually from Genesis to Revelation, and he catches the letter, and that letter could destroy him. "The letter killeth but the spirit giveth life." And the book being shut up, it was shut up by symbols, yes; it was shut up by parables. The Lord took the truths of the Bible and scattered them throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, but He said that before the outpouring comes upon the face of the earth, in Isaiah 28, that the word of God will be unto them line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, and when they reject that word that comes to them in that manner they will go and fall backward, and be snared and be broken, for with stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people, yet they would not hear. So the word of the Lord is scattered through the scriptures, the truths of it are scattered through the scriptures, and the Lord purposely did that. And you may say, "The Lord don't hide nothing from nobody." The Lord purposely hides things from people who are not supposed to know these things and he spoke to them in parables, and the disciples came and asked our Lord, "Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given… Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand." (Matthew 1:11-13). Alright, so now the Lord hid these things in parables, and in dark sentences. Sometimes He will speak in a certain way and tell the Pharisees to go and learn what that means, and then in a certain way and then "he that hath ears to hear, let him hear and closed the meeting and went. He was closing the deep meaning of the scriptures; He was saving that for the end time. Daniel said, in Chapter 12:8, "I saw but I understood not." "Lord, I don't understand, please tell me?" He said, "Go rest in thy lot Daniel, but these things shall be at the end time." We are that people at the end time, and we believe that the mysteries of God that were shut up, sealed up and hidden from the world, are made known in our day, according to the scripture, of Revelation 10:7. The book was closed up by the way it was written in parables, dark sentences, and these symbols and were scattered throughout the Bible. That's the closing of the book. Then the opening of the book in the last day, all that it means is that the Lord by His supernatural power will tell what the parables mean, will tell what the symbols mean, will tell what the dark sentences mean, will gather the truths, that are scattered from Genesis to Revelation, and a form a picture, that we can understand. That is simply the closing of the book, and the opening of the book. We are saying, that took place today, in our age and day, yes, in our day and age. We are saying that the book was opened, the symbols were revealed, the dark sentences were made known, the parables were made known, the truths that were scattered through the Bible came together like from a great jigsaw puzzle. We are saying that we have those truths, yes, we are saying we understand the parables, we understand the dark sentences and we understand the symbols. We are saying that we are a privileged people, with many throughout the world, whose eyes have seen, and whose ears have heard. We consider ourselves blessed, for our Lord said, blessed are your ears for they hear, and blessed are your eyes for they see. We do not unchristianize you that belong to another church. No. We believe that you are God's children also, and if you are God's children it is given to you to understand, yes, just like we who came from Baptist, Pentecostal Methodist, Jehovah witness, Hindus and Muslims. We had not known these things, but we came within hearing, our hearts responded, it was given us to understand, and we are thankful that an ear was given to us. Only those with an ear are able to hear that, and if it doesn't mean anything to you then you will just go on your merry way, but if it means something to you, then come back. We are saying that the book came open, we have a date, we have a year, we have a time, and that took place in 1963 in the month of March, around the eighteenth to the twenty-fifth, and it just right today, and we commemorate this great event of the opening of the Seals. It means a lot to us, and we hope that it will mean a lot to you before we have come to an end. Christians could be Christians and love the Lord but they don't understand everything. And we found that with the apostles after the death of our Lord Jesus. They were walking on the road to Emmaus; and many Christians are walking the road to Emmaus tonight, knowing not what had taken place, and they were sincere and honest and they were walking the way to Emmaus in the evening time, and it is about evening time, and many are taking that walk down to Emmaus. Then a little while after somebody joined them; a stranger joined them on the way. They took Him for an ordinary man, and then He began to speak to them and preached Christ to them beginning at Moses. He began right at Moses, and preached Christ to them in all the scriptures, yes, and then He said, good-bye. "Folks we will see each other". But then something attracted the elected; and they wanted to hear more of that. If you are attracted by the word of God you will invite the Lord; you will invite the speaker, to say a little more. And they said, "It is already late", like the apostle "why not come into the house with us?" He said, "Sure, I will come", they not knowing it is the Lord. Sometimes you could find yourself in a place where the Lord is, and where the Lord is speaking through His servants, and speaking through his word, but then you have to maintain the right attitude. They invited Him into the house, and they sat down a little bit and said, "Okay boys, we will put some bread there to eat." And then the Lord took the bread and broke it, and as He broke the bread He was made known unto them in the breaking of bread. Now that's the way the Lord is made known today; He has a certain way he breaks bread, and the way he breaks bread, the elect quickly responds, to it "Only the Lord could break bread like that", and their eyes were opened and they recognized it was the Lord. What we are having here is a memorial of the Seals, we are rehearsing some of these great truths that came from the opened book. And tonight is one Seal, and tomorrow will be another, and the next day will be the next Seal, and the next day will be the next Seal, and we will go on like that. We have, on the board here symbols of the four Seals. We have the Lamb, the book and Revelation 10:1 with the open book in His hand. We trust that he will come and help us by his grace. The book was closed by the way it was written and it was opened by God telling what the symbol means. The opening of the seals was more than just seven messages." The opening of the seven seals was an event and the event of the opening of the seals… It was in Arizona in 1963, a man prophesied that there is going to be a great blast of thunder and it is going to shake the whole country. He went down to Arizona and while he was hunting a great blast took place. after this great blast took place which shook the country, and, believe it or not, seven angels came down from heaven and picked up this man bodily and took him up twenty six miles high in a cloud which stretched thirty miles across the skies. That is not just hear say. Scientists looked up and they said it is impossible for clouds to be so high. Clouds are only seven miles highs. So they photographed that cloud and it appeared on Life magazine, which magazine we have presently, and it went around the world. Science took that photograph and it appeared on Life magazine' and on Life magazine it said, "Mysterious Cloud over the desert of Arizona," no explanations can be given. It baffled science. So after that photograph appeared, nobody couldn't make anything of it. Then that same man that was in the desert, and who was caught up into the cloud, took the photograph and turned it this way and when he turned it, it was the head of a man. The hair was white as wool and the beard was white as wool (Revelation 1:14). He was told by those angels to go back to Jeffersonville for the opening of the seven seals. He obeyed, and that voice that spoke to him there, he was locked up in a room for about seven to eight days and one by one, the angels of God, came and opened each Seal to him, except one, and that was preached in Jeffersonville. The photograph went around the world in life magazine and everyone can see the face and head of a man. The Lord revealed to him that the cloud was a warning to the world that the judgment of this world was ready. The head of that man that was photographed is a white wig like the Jewish judges of old wore, which they still do along with the English judges. They wear a white wig in judgment. The opening of the seals was a great event announcing the judgment of this world that the people had heard about many thousands of years that this world is going to be burnt by fire, but before the Lord burn it by fire, He put a sign in the sky that was thirty miles wide and twenty six miles high, to warn the generation. Yes. He sent His prophet to warn the generation. Another thing that was fulfilled there; the event of the opening of the seven seals was the fulfilment of Matthew 25:6:
Just like John the Baptist made an announcement of His first coming, there was the same Elijah Spirit anointing another man today to make a second announcement of the second coming of Jesus Christ. That man was William Branham. We believe that with all our hearts; and though the world considers him to be a false prophet, we consider him to be a true prophet; a man sent from God. The event of the opening of the seven seals. When the seals book was opened it was suppose to set in order the fulfilment of many scriptures, revelations and prophesies. "Does the opening of the seals means that all the mysteries will be revealed?" I will give you one scripture to settle your mind. The Bible said, "I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, "Revelation 10", with an open book in His hand, he had a rainbow over His head, and in Revelation 10:7 it said, "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." All the mysteries that were recorded from Genesis to Revelation, according to the Bible, were supposed to be unfolded into one great mystery. All the mysteries of God were to form one picture, and that was the mystery of God. And if you want to find out what is that mystery, read "Christ is the mystery of God revealed." Later on my brother, we learnt that Christ was that mystery because He is the Word of God. All the word put together is Christ. "In the beginning was the word...and the word was made flesh." Now there we are. The opening of the seven seals was an event. An event that marked time and judgment. An event that made an announcement to the world. Many lovely Christian people, many churches do not realize that, but the long awaited Jesus that you longed for many years ago, an announcement according to scripture, was made, that He is right at hand now. That announcement was made because of love, that the people of God might be made ready. That announcement was made that the sinners might have no excuse, because their own cameras took it. Yes, and they were told of it around the world seven times of the judgments of God that were coming. So now this is the event and we as Christian people never knew that, but we know that tonight. And if you do not know that, we want to acquaint you with it. So we were good Christian people Baptists, Pentecostals, but we had not known these truths. But now we know them, and we cherish them and we love these truths. The opening of the seals is many things to us. The opening of the seals was the swearing away of time. The opening of the seals was the pronouncement of judgment to this generation, six billion people. The opening of the seals was the opening up of the Bible, all the mysteries that were recorded in the Bible; not outside of the Bible but inside of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I will pick out one of those items of what the opening of the seals really is. That is "The opening of the seals is the revealing of the man of sin." [Reference to diagram of four horses and their riders.] Now, it will take me, four nights just upon that one item, "the revealing of the man of sin," because I will prove to you that this is the man of sin on the white horse, and he jumps from one horse to another horse; "that's the man of sin", "that's the man of sin", "that's the man of sin", in different stages on all four horses. So, my brothers and sisters, maybe some of you are not acquainted with the subject of "man of sin", but the religious world is quite acquainted with "man of sin" and also the antichrist. Thousands of books were written about the antichrist in the end time and the mark of the beast. That is what we are going to talk about. Thousands of books are written, and they make barrels of money telling people lies. They don't know anything about it. The truth of that came out by the opening of the Seals. There was no man that revealed that. No man ever opened the Seals. Branham never opened the Seals. No, the Lamb opened the Seals. But when the Lamb opened the Seals there must have been a prophet around that time upon the earth, to whom the Lord will channel that truth, because Amos 3:7 says, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing but He revealeth His secret unto to his servants the prophets." Whenever God is going to judge the world he sends a prophet. When He was about to destroy the people in the days of Noah He sent a prophet. When He was going to destroy Israel He sent Jeremiah, He sent Ezekiel. When He was going to destroy Israel in AD 70 He sent John the Baptist and He sent Jesus. When He was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah He sent Abraham, and that wasn't enough, He, came down himself. The Lamb opened the book. Certainly it was God alone who could open it but then notice that when the book was opened, the book was on earth, in the hand of an angel and there was a man to receive it. We are saying that beyond a shadow of a doubt out of all the preachers, all the evangelists, all the Bible schools and all the organizations upon the face of the earth, a humble little prophet named William Branham received these truths. We make no apology for that because we can sufficiently prove that in the Word of God. Those truths were handed down to one man, and anybody who wants to know anything about those truths must listen to that message. The opening of the seals means the revealing of the antichrist, from the time he started in the Christian church to the end time.
And if I could understand just the literal reading, somebody wrote a letter in Paul's name and said that Christ is coming right away now. Is that right? When Brother Paul heard of that, he said, "The letter you got and the spirit that is troubling you (even in my name) that's saying the coming of Christ is right at hand now, I want to tell you some truths that day of the coming of the Lord cannot take place until the man of sin is revealed." the sealed book was opened before the coming of Christ. Brother Paul put a mark, he said listen to me, don't get troubled; rest in peace, there is something to take place just before Christ comes the second time and that is the man of sin would be revealed. What is the meaning of "revealed"? 'Made known.' The only way that something can be made known is that God has to make it known; as far as the word is concerned. It only takes God to expose the devil. He's going to be made known. Before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in the air the man of sin was to be made known. "…that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." Now that's the only way that I can read my Bible. The only way that I can read my Bible is to understand that the man of sin must be revealed and made known before the second coming of Jesus Christ for the rapture. That is what the opening of the seals was. The opening of the seals was to make the man of sin known in number one seal, number two seal, number three seal, and in number four. When we hit the fifth seal that is something else; when we hit the sixth seal that is something else and when we hit the seventh seal that is something else. So the opening of the seal was the revealing of the man of sin. The opening of the seals was to bring into light the salvation of the Jews (fifth seal). The opening of the seals was the declaration of judgment (sixth seal). The opening of the seals was the mystery of the coming of the Lord (the seventh seal). Now, can somebody make it any different? No, you cannot make it any different. These four seals, all that I would be speaking on is the revealing of the antichrist, and it is in fulfilment that I told you just now, that the opening of the seals set in order the fulfilment of many scriptures and revelations and prophecies. There is too much intellectualism and too much books and tapes. Now who is this man of sin? He is called the son of perdition. Now who is the son of perdition? Judas Iscariot. Didn't Jesus say that Judas Iscariot was the son of perdition? Now, son of perdition and man of sin is the same person. Anti-christ is the same person. Now the Bible plainly speaks of anti-christ everywhere. Even in the days of John", that anti-christ is in the world". Alright, there are many anti-christs and the Bible schools try to interpret who is this anti-christ to come. They made many books, many great Bible expositors. Oral Roberts himself says that it's a computer. In 1967 he said that "it is a big computer that they are going to make that will have everybody's name". Some said it 'was Hitler', and some brought their light bills and said, 'here is 666 on the light bills.' Now a big thing in the world today is the mark of the beast. Everybody is afraid of the anti-christ. Now Satan has the whole world in a delusion in order to hide himself. He will point to everybody as the anti-christ, as the man of sin except himself. So he hired his expositors, he hired the bible schools, he hired his servants to mislead the people and tell them that "Hitler is that one, the computer is that, and over here is the mark of the beast". While they are reading that they are running from the computer and heading straight into the man of sin. They are hiding in the churches and they are running straight into the arms of the man of sin. The man of sin is prophesied to bring the whole world into a one-world-religion and a one-world-government (Revelation 13). Yes. And whosoever does not come under that power is going to be killed. There is going to be a one-world-government and a one-world-church. Now that is what we are fleeing from. We are fleeing from the world council of churches right now, because we know where the mark of the beast is coming from. So now while the devil has all these books and tapes and all these great preachers on the field telling them about anti-christ, telling them about the mark of the beast who put fear in the people's hearts. Everybody wants to join a church, but that is the very thing that is bringing the anti-christ, that's the very thing that is going to bring the mark of the beast and the people don't know it. You know, how a lion and a lioness hunt. My brother, the lion goes across there and scares the prey while the female sits in the bush and when the prey runs in the bushes to hide, the lioness gets the prey. Satan is scaring the people everywhere but the lioness is sitting in the bushes and she is catching the prey. 2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12. There are different stages of the anti-christ, that matches these four horses of the seals. So now, the four horses and their riders are actually speaking of 2 Thessalonians 2 1-12. Bible schools tried to interpret that, expositors probed for seven church ages, for two thousand years. They made it everything except the truth. And Revelation 13 tells you that the anti-christ will finally rule the world and he will have a one-world government and a one-world church. We do not want to belong to that one-world church; we do not want to belong to that one-world government. 2 Thessalonians 2 says that "the mystery of iniquity doth already work." The mystery of lawlessness doth already work. The mystery already worked way back there in the days of Brother Paul. But all the mysteries were to be revealed by Revelation 10:7, and the mystery of iniquity is a mystery. So, it had to wait for the end time at the opening of the seals. The mystery of iniquity was to come into full view and tell you exactly what the anti-christ is going to be, what the mark of the beast is and about this spirit of Judas. Now, after Judas died, the spirit of the devil lived on and it came on a bunch of people. After Jesus died, His spirit came back on a bunch of people. Those two spirits travelled down through the seven church ages and they are going to be headed up again in two human beings. They are going to be headed up in the coming of Christ Jesus and the anti-Christ sitting upon the throne, ruling the entire world. The revealing of the anti-christ, the man of sin, son of perdition, Judas Iscariot, the beast, the mark of the beast and all these other mysteries were supposed to take place before Jesus comes in the sky. Every Christian person ought to know that. Now, the man of sin, son of perdition, or anti-Christ; call him what you want (2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12); I am saying, by the infallible Word of God, has to do with seals numbers one, two, three, and four in different stages. Now, these four horses are the working of the anti-christ for two thousand years. These four horses are representing the working of the anti-christ in the church for the past nineteen hundred years. Isn't that simple? In bride language we call it the "seven church ages". Seven church ages, for two thousand years, which is divided into seven different periods and Brother Paul ministered to the people in the first period and William Branham ministered to the people in the last period called the Laodicean Church Age. In that last period of time was when the mysteries were revealed. It is called the seventh church age. That's why the Bible says, "…when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished." ( Revelation 10:7). Now I want to point out something to you. Horse number one was history, because it worked in the early age. Horse number two was history. Horse number three was history and the fourth horse is prophecy. That's our day. I tell you before I prove it, that these four horse riders with the horses is the spirit of the anti-christ working through false Christian churches. That's what the seals revealed, and if you have to disagree with me, disagree with me now because that's what the Seals revealed. If you are disagreeing, you are disagreeing with the Lamb, and not Branham. The Lamb he revealed the seals, he said that those four riders out there was the anti-christ that worked in false Christians, and false churches, throughout nineteen hundred years, conquering the souls of men, by false doctrines. To the end that he might take them to hell and the lake of fire. Those are the four seals in a nutshell. The four seals, in a nutshell, is the spirit of anti-christ working through false Christians, false churches, through Bible schools and false organizations, conquering the souls of men throughout nineteen hundred years that he might take them to hell and the lake of fire.
Alright now, what is the thunder? John said "he heard a thunder" and he marked down thunder. That closed up the revelation of the first seal. Well what is thunder? For two thousand years, nobody knew what thunder meant. We had never known what a thunder was until we had a prophet and until God spoke to that prophet and told him what a thunder was. When God speaks you must find it in the word then you will know that is God's voice. If any spirit speaks to you, any preacher speaks to you or you have vision or a dream that is contrary to the word of God, then that is the voice of the devil. But if God spoke to a man called Elijah, William Branham, whatever he said must be found in the Scripture, and then we will know that it is God. So, John heard noise of a thunder, and the next thing again, a lion beast in Revelation 4, spoke. Have you ever heard of lions talking to a man? He said, "Come and see." He looked across there and saw a Lamb with a book in his hand. Lambs don't even have hands. Now I am showing you how the symbols have the book closed. All that was said about the first seal is a thunder, roared, a Lamb opened it, a lion spoke and a white horse rode out going forth to conquer. Now what is the Seal? Now theologians and one big-brain fellow said that it is 'so and so.' What they are trying to do is open the seal. They should have read there that the Lamb was supposed to open it. These blind theologians went on guessing, and saying that it meant this and it meant that. The first thing they ought to have read was that, "no man was able to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof". They ought to have humbled their proud hearts, shut down the bible schools, and, wait until the Lamb opened it. For nineteen hundred years, they built bible schools and they had seminaries and some cemeteries, trying to open up the Bible and trying to expound the book of Revelation, but in the end-time, the Lamb said, "All of you shut up, you are not even reading the literal Word. Didn't you read that no man was found worthy to open it but the Lamb?" Yes, they ought to have waited on the Lamb. If they believed the Bible and if they had believed the literal letter of the word, they would know enough not to misinterpret the scripture. Now I am showing you that thunder has the seal shut up, lion has the seal shut up, white horse has the seal shut up, bow and arrow has the seal shut up. Make something of it if you can. The Lord wrote that and threw it to man for nineteen hundred years and said, "Interpret it if you can." Yes, it is hidden from the wise and the prudent and is revealed unto babes and suckling such as would learn. Now that is the closing of the book. John wrote the closed seals, God was getting ready to open the seals, He called another man, just as certain as he called John to see it down there and put it down in a book. He said, "What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia.". God in writing the book and called one man. And in the opening the book used another man, because man was ordained to preach the gospel. Now when He calls this man, He will tell the man what "the thunder" means, He is going to tell the man what "lion" means, He is going to tell the man what "white horse" means, He is going to tell the man what 'come and see' means, and He's going to tell the man what "bow and arrow means". I believe that is fair; and the only reason I know that and you know that is because God sent that man. This is not my intelligence, not my wisdom and this is not my understanding, I am only preaching it by inspiration. So, let us see if this is the truth. First of all, the Lord whispered to His servant when the first seal was opened. That "thunder means voice of God." The prophet did not know that. "When John heard it, it was I talking. "The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth." (Psalms 29). "He thundereth with the voice of his excellency… God thundereth marvellously with his voice." (Job 37: 4-5). Alright, in St. John 12 a thunder rolled one time in the ministry of our Lord, and then the people looked around and said that it thundered, but Jesus heard a voice: "Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered." (St. John 12:28-29). Now that thunder that shook the country, when the seals were going to be opened up, that was the Voice of God; it was a voice. The Prophet heard something about the Seals. Yes. But people heard a thunder. But it was the Voice of God that said something audible to Jesus Christ that He understood in His language. Is that right? So 'thunder' has the thing tied up. Alright, then the Holy Spirit revealed to him, that all these 'beasts' in the Book of Revelation, the Book of symbols, everyone of them means "a power." Now if it is God speaking to him, we have to find it in the Bible, otherwise we are falsely led. He said that all these beasts in the Scripture means a power of some kind, good or evil. Let me prove that "beast' is 'a power'. John the Baptist one time seen a man coming called Jesus and he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" Was that a beast? Was he a man? Now this Lamb that is opening the Book is a man, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. Is that right? Then that was a good power. Beast represents a bad power or a good power. So good power is a Lamb, bad power is dragon. Glory to God! I said bad power is a dragon. Good power is lion. Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Is He a lion? Sure, He is a lion, a good lion. A Lion also represents one of the archangels that appeared in Revelation chapter 4. Now lions don't talk, showing you here, that this lion has intelligence, when he seen the horse start riding he cried out, "Come and see!" He wants John to see something, but poor John didn't see much. That was for us today. That was one of the great cherubims, he cried out, "come and see what is coming down the road boy." He had some knowledge and understanding of what was coming. Now we come down to "horse." The beast said, "come and see." The Seal revealed that this horse was a bad power, it was an antichrist power. It revealed that the rider on him was antichrist, it was bad power, and it still is a power on earth. We are going to prove that. They said this white horse, all those great men like "Larkin" and the great names you could call; they guessed at this white horse, is Christ and you know what fooled them? The whiteness. Let me tell you that white gown will always fool people. And that little hat on Pope's head has them deceived. They guessed at the Seal and you know what they said? "That's Christ! That's Christ coming, our Lord. We love you Lord! We praise you!" They are still praising him after 1900 years, kissing his big toe too. In 1963 the Lamb opened the Seals and revealed what the white horse meant. When the Lord told the Prophet of God what white horse meant, white horse passed away from his mind and he understood what that meant. The Seal was opened when the Lord told the Prophet what white horse meant; that is the opening of the Seal. It was the antichrist in the first stage as an evil power. Now let us examine this first horse to see if the Seal is right. I have no doubt that the Seal is right. It is right. The Seal is THUS SAITH THE LORD; God brought it. Now this horse that we are talking about he had no name, and he had no sword. Our Lord always fights with a sword. The weapon that the Lord fights with is not "bow and arrow", and if you notice this "bow" is empty, therefore he is an impostor. He had no "name", he had no "sword", and he has a "bow" but no "arrow". He was an impostor and a bluffer and he scare the people. Don't let him scare you at all, my brothers and sisters, he is exposed. The Holy Ghost, God Almighty, and the Lamb revealed to William Branham that this horse of Revelation 6:11 is the antichrist. He said, "I want you William Branham to turn over to Revelation 19 and I want to show you that when I come, how it is going to be, because there is another white horse over here in Revelation 19 and that is My true horse. But this horse of Revelation 6 is the Devil." He said, "Compare both of them and you will know which is the Devil and which is God." The Seal is being revealed right in the Scriptures. It is not a mystery and secret outside of the Bible. We are not telling you to follow some man who got a secret in a cave somewhere or some cult somewhere and and you cannot find it in the Bible. What we are saying is in the Book! What God told William Branham is in the Book! It is either you believe the Bible or don't believe the Bible! And if the Lamb says something, it has to be in the Book. Yes. You cannot add to the Word or take away. Comparing this horse of Revelation 19: Christ has a name; He is called the Word of God. He has a sword, He has a bloody garment and He has an army following Him. Somebody has to be blind to yet think that Revelation 6:1 is Christ, because I am showing you Christ on a white horse out here. The Seal revealed that this white horse fellow was antichrist in the first stage 'The mystery of iniquity doth already work.' That was the mystery of iniquity, 2 Thessalonians second chapter, that already began to work in the form of the antichrist spirit. It began to work but it will one day come to a head. Now another thing about this Seal, this fellow on this horse went forth "conquering" and he plans "to conquer" again. He went forth conquering but he has plans to conquer on the next horse. You see here that he now had a sword? He had plans to conquer again on the third horse, he had plans to conquer again on the fourth horse but he'll be conquered over here, somebody was going to conquer him here! He had a lot of plans, but the Lord will take up the challenge. Let us deal with that, "he went forth conquering and to conquer." Now we are convinced that this fellow is the antichrist, he is the Devil, he is Satan in spirit form and he is going forth conquering and to conquer. This was a spirit that came into the early Church amongst the Christian people and it anointed brothers and sisters in the Message. I said Message; Jesus brought a Message. And the antichrist spirit, they could not see it. It was like a black shadow that came and went over one fellow's head and gave him a little interpretation. He opened the book and said, "marvellous, I never seen that before, boy, I am receiving a lot of revelation. It is so high I can't even speak to my pastor about it." Then he goes over to a next brother and says "brother I want to show you something that I found, me, me!" Yes, and the brother caught the revelation. "I've never seen that. I've never even heard my pastor say that. My, I tell you, we have really outgrown our pastor." Little did they know that antichrist spirit was riding them. Let me make this statement: this antichrist spirit went "forth conquering and to conquer". How does the antichrist conquer the souls of men? Very, very simple. Satan conquers the souls of men by twisting the true message of God and twisting the true Word of God from the Bible. That is how he conquers your soul. If you are sitting in a church where they are perverting the Word of God, the antichrist is conquering your soul. If you are in a religion where they teach you perverted things, Satan is conquering your soul. If you are going to church and the preacher preaches contrary to the Word of God, he is conquering your soul. If a man claims to be preaching this Message and his life is not right, his wife is not walking right and his children are not walking right, he is conquering your soul. If he is perverting the Word of God in any way, he is conquering your soul. When you think your soul is getting ready to go in a rapture then that pastor, anointed by the antichrist spirit, is conquering your soul. "Preacher I never knew that this was so dangerous." It is more than dangerous. Let me show you how the first couple souls were conquered. It happened in Genesis. God brought a pure message and it had a fellow there who wanted to conquer their souls. He came and took the pure message and twisted it a little bit. He added one word to it and he gave it to Eve and she took that doctrine home to her husband and brought The Fall. "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, doth man live." Did he twist the Word? Did he twist the message? When he twisted the message he conquered their souls. They were driven from the Garden of Eden. From that time on they gave you the wrong birth and it conquered your souls. Oh yes! Jesus came by. He said, "Ye must be born again." False doctrines conquer your soul. False interpretations conquers your soul. Be careful what goes into your ear! Jesus said, "Take heed how you hear." Be careful what enters your ear; it conquers the soul. In Revelation 2:6, the Bible speaks of a group of people called the Nicolaitans, and it speaks of the 'deeds of the Nicolaitans.' What were the deeds of the Nicolaitans? Their deeds were to twist the message. Nicolaitan means to conquer the laity. It is the same spirit. Brother Paul saw this spirit of antichrist rising in the Church; it was rising in men, and he said:
Alright, Brother Peter saw it rising. Did he see it? He said, "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies." (2 Peter 2:1). Brother John seen it. He said, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." (I John 4:1-3). Brother John made no bones about it. Brother Paul said, in Galatians 1:6-7, "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ." Right in that age there was a spirit moving upon men and women to pervert the Gospel of Christ. That's the Seal! The Seal is bringing out the antichrist spirit in the first age that started to pervert the Gospel and changed it into another gospel. Just a little twist. You could not even call it another gospel. The twist was so small that you could not call it a next message. No. Just a little twist on it and if you believed that twist, like in the Garden of Eden, it poisoned you and damned your soul to hell. Any man that will twist the Word of God and give it to you, run for your life! After the Lord Jesus Christ Himself gave the world the Gospel, there came in another gospel, which could not even be called "another gospel". We have the Gospel according to Matthew, according to Mark, according to Luke and according to John, but this next Gospel is according to the white horse. There is a Gospel according to Judas, but he wrote his Gospel long afterwards. So this here is the Gospel according to the Antichrist. He is perverting the Gospel, the Gospel of the Antichrist started back there. Now you who are seated here today are either seated under the Gospel of the antichrist or you are seated under the Gospel of Jesus Christ, one out of the two. Woe be unto you if you sit under the Gospel of the antichrist! But it is a glorious thing if you sit under the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we believe that we have that privilege. How many want to hear the Gospel according to the antichrist? [Congregation says, "Amen!"] Now I'm not hitting anybody, you judge yourself, and see which Gospel you are following. The Gospel according to Jesus Christ is "baptism in Jesus Christ's name." I am quoting the scripture for you, Acts 2:38. Everybody who was baptized in Christian baptism was baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not one place in the Bible was anyone baptized in titles of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The first man who ever baptized in those titles was a Catholic priest. The Trinitarian baptism came in by the antichrist and they baptized people in the titles of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. If you are baptized in the titles of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, you are baptized unto the antichrist, yes. But you say, "Matthew 28:19 says, "Go into all the world and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost." So be it. What is the Name? The Bible says 'to go into all the world and baptize them in the, let everybody say it. [Congregation says, "NAME"]. What is the Name? Peter knew that Name on the Day of Pentecost and he commanded them to be baptized in the NAME of Jesus Christ. The Name of Jesus Christ represents Father, Son and Holy Ghost. That is what the Seal revealed. So the Gospel according the antichrist is baptism in tithes of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Jesus taught in His Gospel that God is a Spirit. The antichrist went out and taught that God is three spirits and he made a trinity. There is not one word in the Bible for trinity. The Gospel according to the antichrist is to believe that God is three gods and that there are three persons in the Godhead. There is not three persons in the Godhead, there is one person. St. John 4:24 "God is a Spirit," not three spirits, but God is 'a' Spirit. The antichrist brought in that trinity doctrine. I Corinthians 11:15, it says that the woman's hair is given her for a covering. The antichrist bobbed off her hair, gave her a hat, and said, "Don't come to church without a hat." My Bible says in I Corinthians 11:15 that the woman's hair is given her for a covering. Any woman who bobs off her hair is uncovered. And any preacher who says she could chop off her hair, the antichrist is on him and is inspiring him. Any preacher who says to baptize in titles of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the antichrist is inspiring him. Any preacher that preaches three gods, the antichrist is riding him. Yes! I don't know to preach it any other way. So now, the antichrist started changing the Gospel. He changed it to Father, Son and Holy Ghost, he changed it to a trinity, he changed it to wearing a hat, then he brought idols into the church: "St. Peter, St. John and Mother Mary." I am saying that is the Gospel according to the antichrist. Nobody is supposed to bow down to an idol according to Exodus 20:4-5: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God." If you worship Peter, James or Mary, you are following the Gospel of the antichrist. Oh yes. Back in that time the antichrist said, "We are preaching to rich and educated people so we have to be a little more dignified, we have to know how to pronounce our words and we have to know how to say 'Ah-men' instead of 'a-men, a-men,' for we are speaking to great, big dignitaries and, so we have to be a little social around here." So they built Bible schools and sent men to Bible schools. All Bible schools were ordained by the antichrist, they belong to the white horse. Jesus never built a Bible school, and when He called his preachers they were simple fishermen, Peter, James and John. Peter was an ignorant and unlearnt fisherman and He gave him the keys to the Kingdom of God. All Bible schools are of the Devil. All Bible schools are of the antichrist. All Bible schools are of the white horse rider. That is what the Seals revealed. Now I can't change it. The Lamb revealed that the white horse rider was the antichrist and he brought in all these false doctrines. Don't get angry with me; the Lamb revealed that and He told Branham that in his ears and Branham showed us that in the Bible. Branham has gone home; but we believe the Bible. We remain with the Bible. If any person could show me one place in the Bible for Bible schools then I will repent and I will go to Bible school myself, but you can't show me that. Don't tell me about the schools of the prophets that were in the days of Elijah, for I want to call to your attention that all those prophets were a bunch of unbelievers. And do you know what they were disbelieving? Elijah and his message. Elijah said he was going to be taken away and there was one man following him called Elisha; he did not belong to the Bible school but he believed Elijah. When Elijah was taken away in the rapture these unbelievers said go and search for him because he probably fell on the mountain and died. A bunch of unbelievers! But Elisha was a believer and he types the Bride of Jesus Christ today who believes Elijah. All these Bible school preachers are a bunch of unbelievers in the Message of Elijah the prophet. They are unbelievers in the opening of the Seals today. They tell lies on William Branham. They say, 'William Branham backslid and he fell and the Lord took him away from the earth.' They lied! That's a devil's excuse to keep the people away from the truth. So that is the Gospel according to Judas. You didn't know that Judas had a Gospel? Who is the son of perdition? Who is the antichrist? That's the Gospel according to Judas. So the Gospel according to Judas is Trinitarian gods, Trinitarian baptism, hat for woman's head, idol worship, Bible school and, I don't want to say it but the Gospel according to Judas built the first organization called the Catholic Church. With all decency and respect, the Roman Catholic Church was the first organization that was built by the white horse rider. Jesus never built an organization, He built a Church. The Church of Jesus Christ started on the Day of Pentecost. Organization started in Rome in 325A.D. Judas the son of perdition, the antichrist, is the one who started it. Soon after he built that organization he built Bible schools and he put on white coats on his horses. Just now you will come to find out what I mean when I say, "horse." Did you ever hear the old people say, 'the devil is riding you'? This spirit of antichrist that started was going around looking for men to ride on. The spirit is one thing but the horse is another. The spirit is the antichrist but the people whom he possessed is the horse. And all those people put together formed a power called the Roman Catholic organization and they were motivated by the Devil. So the horse is the church, the people. Yes sir! So he put on white gowns for them and he put a next fellow in a certain category and said, 'we will call you 'cardinal' from now on, you, we will be called 'Bishop of Rome', and we will call you "Father". The Bible says, "Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." (Matthew 23:9). They blindly and rudely disobeyed the Scriptures, saying, 'Father this', and 'Father that,' when Jesus said, "Call no man father." That is the gospel according to Judas that made up that doctrine, and if you want to find out the Scripture for organization, it's Revelation 17. This great organization that was formed in Nicea, Rome in 325AD, when they called the Nicene Council, you will find her recorded in Scripture as Mother Whore, Mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. Now, if she is a mother and she has harlot daughters, you put in the rest of it. If Christ never built the first organization, then He never built the second, He never built the third, He never built the fourth, He never built the five hundred and He never built the thousand of them. The church of Jesus Christ is one and it is governed by the Word of God. This is not insulting anybody who is gathered here. I am stating truth that came from under the Seal. This is what the seal revealed; this is what the Lamb said. The Lamb said that "the antichrist built the first organization and they put the true Christians out of the church". You say, "Give me one thing again and I'll be fully convinced." Notice, the gospel according to Judas is a money gospel. The biggest thieves in the whole world are the popes also his cardinals, his churches and his priests. That same spirit of money that was on Judas came upon the popes and all organization. They sell novenas, they sell prayers, you pay to dedicate your baby, when you die you pay to bring your coffin in the church and after you are dead and buried your family has to pay to take you out of purgatory. Isn't that a Judas spirit, isn't that the son of perdition, isn't that the antichrist who loves money? What is good for the popes is good for all money beggars on the radio, on the television and behind the pulpit. There is no Scripture in the Bible where God sent His church to beg for money and sent his preachers to beg for money. When a preacher will stay on the radio and on the television and beg for money, he has the same spirit of the popes. And some money lover might rise up and say, "Well, how do you expect the church to run? You must get money to run the church." Jesus had a church and it had to run, and He collected money in a different way. He passed the offering plate and whoever wanted to put money, put money. Where did all this pull for money come from? Where has all this begging for money come from? Where has all this pleading and begging for money come from? Where has all these pledges come from? Where did the "pastor's love offering" come from? Show me one Scripture for pastor's love offering; show me it in the Bible? It's a Judas spirit and Judas loved what was in the money bag and that is why you find them on the radio begging ungodly people, on the television, and on the field. You could hardly hear the gospel, every sermon is begging for money. I am saying it is a Judas spirit. The seals opening today told us how to find the Judas spirit. They stole enough of our money in Pentecost, in Baptist, in Open Bible, and in all the organizations, but the Seals exposed them. Praise him; praise the living God, Glory to God, thank you father! Is somebody offended? It should not offend you. "He that loveth my Word nothing shall offend him." And this is what the Lamb revealed. I challenge any man to come and disprove what I am saying in the Holy Scripture. You cannot disprove the Word of God. There is no Scripture for pastor's love offering. There is no Scripture for all these pledges. There is no Scripture to beg the ungodly for money. Jesus preached the gospel and who wanted to put in the bag, did so and who wanted to steal from the bag stole too. Oh yes! The rider is the antichrist and the horse was the people. Yes, it depends on what you open up to. If you open up to the Holy Spirit, you become a horse for the Holy Spirit, if you open up to the antichrist you become a horse for the antichrist. I am only saying what the Seals said. It must be spoken. Yes, where has all this money begging come from? I am going to smash that in pieces on the black horse rider with the scale in his hands. I am going to show you that it is money that they are weighing. Alright, do you believe that there is a gospel according to Judas? He is the son of perdition. The first seal revealed the gospel according to Judas, the man of sin. Who is the man of sin? You say, "Is there is a man of sin?" Don't you know it's a man of sin, man of unbelief? When you hear unbelief comes upon a man after he hears the promises of God preached and he hears good solid doctrine, be careful, the antichrist spirit is upon him. Man of sin, man of unbelief. Judas was a man of unbelief. Jesus knew from the beginning that he did not believe. Now you say, "I am still in doubt preacher of this interpretation that you are giving me." I am not giving anything. I am saying what the Lamb said to a prophet. I am only rehearsing what he said. Now the Seal went on to say, "…and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."(Revelation 6:2). He is a religious fellow. Now, if you missed it all the way you got to see it here, because this antichrist spirit who was riding, after a time he kept on conquering and conquering souls until he conquered enough souls to make a big organization. See what I mean? He brought them in, he gave them white gowns, white hats, you know, white horse, and a crown was given to him, showing you that he did not have a crown before, because you could not crown a spirit. How are you going to crown a spirit? But then this great antichrist spirit that was riding jumped into a man and the man was the first pope, glory to God! And then they put a crown upon him and they put him up on the Vatican's seat. I am saying that the pope of Rome that was crowned in 325AD is an antichrist, is a man of sin, and is Judas Iscariot incarnated. That's who he is. The crown was given unto him. The numbers of the mark of the beast is written upon this crown. This will eventually change from antichrist, to false prophet and finally to the beast. He has the mark of the beast upon his forehead, which means "INSTEAD OF THE SON OF GOD". The seal revealed that; the lamb revealed that. Now, do you see him riding on the white horse, pretending to be Christ? When he was incarnated in a man called the pope, he marked down what he was doing and what his lust were. He said, "I am instead of the Son of God. When you see me, you see Christ. Before you approach me kiss my big toe, when you walk away from me never turn your back to me." "Call me his holiness." That stinking dirtiness that allowed 68 million Christians to die. 'His holiness', archbishop of Trinidad is 'your Grace'; another pope was called 'Pope Innocent.' He committed the most crimes and he was 'Pope Innocent.' I wonder if he is innocent in hell tonight. 'Pope John Paul', "I am doubling up John and Paul together, I am so spiritual. I am instead of the Son of God." That was the antichrist spirit that was actually impersonating Christ and lusting to be Christ. So, he had to fulfil that lust by putting that crown and inscribing there, "Instead of the Son of God". in Latin words means "Vicarious Fillii Dei" and after you count the Roman numerals. William Branham the prophet of God, inspired of God counted the mark of the beast. Yes. It said, "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six" (Revelation 13:18), and the man is the pope. It's the number of a man, and checking in Roman numerals, vicarious Fillii Dei, it is exactly 666. That's your mark of the beast. It's no computer. Oral Roberts lied. Oral Roberts has a money spirit too. He said to give him eight million dollars otherwise God said He will kill him. Yes. That's a Judas spirit. You say, "Preacher, how are you talking like that?" The seals are opened. When you catch the revelation of that seal you are not afraid to call the antichrist out because you have already 'come and see.' We already 'come and see', and we are inspired by one of those beast. Yes. It gives you boldness. He said, 'come and see', and when your eyes are opened, you will talk just like that beast. So the spirit of antichrist was incarnated in a man and crowned. He was called the pope. This is as clean as a whistle. The Seal was history, and I showed you the damage they did to doctrines and truths. I showed you the church that was set up and I pointed out the man that was crowned in 325AD. He was a pope. Now, what in the world would the Lord open this Seal for in the end time, because this is history? How could that help the Bride to be delivered? Let's consider that. Why would the Lord come and bring up all those old things from down there? Number one, He brought that up to show you the false doctrines that were established in that time and have travelled down to the last move of God, the Pentecostal church, and throughout all the organizations that we might be able to see what is true and the false. When we see that, we will come out of Babylon. That is one part of it. How is He going to use that to deliver the Bride? Now, when the Lord goes through all of that by the seal and He exposes what the antichrist did in the other ages, He acquaints the Bride in the end time with Satan's system of perverting the true message of the hour, then the Bride will be alerted because she just received the message from Almighty God, and then she catches a revelation of Satan's system, how he works, how he perverts, how he comes into the church and under the true message and how he overshadows people who say they belong to the message. Then she will be wise, and then she will be watching with a certain eye. Now the elect alone will catch the revelation of the Seal and Satan's system of perversion. So that is why the Seals were opened, not just to give us the history. This seal was opened, just like the entire seals were opened, to bring an event. This first seal that we are dealing with was not opened just to show us history. The seal was opened to show you Satan's system of deception in the first stage. Satan has a certain system of deception and then he has different stages of that deception. This is the most dangerous system that he has, is when he climbs on that white horse. The seals were opened to make it impossible for the Bride to be deceived. The only way that the Bride would not be deceived, and she is ordained not to be deceived, is when she catches the revelation of Satan's system. When she catches that, any man opens his mouth, she has something that measures him. If he speaks contrary to the Word, she measures him, she starts backing off. Her ministers are trained to know these antichrist spirits. You say, "Is that how the Lord delivers people and keep them?" Yes!
Did he say that? Now that is the way the Lord secures the souls of His elect. He acquaints them with the ways of the devil and the system of the devil, and when he acquaints them with his ways. They catch a certain substance. The substance is Satan's trickery, how he comes in and pervert the Word and gives you the perverted word. Now once you catch that, you'll see him if he comes under the message, you'll see him if he comes in your wife, you'll see him if he comes in your brother, and if he is whispering in your ear, you'll hear him. If he denies that promise, something isn't matching. If he says, "There is no revival coming", it isn't matching. If he says, "There is no outpouring coming", something is wrong! Do you see what I mean? [Congregation says, 'Amen!'] The antichrist at the present time is riding right under this message, perverting the message just like he perverted Paul's message. The Bride must be equipped and have that discernment and catch the system of perversion in the first stage in order not to be deceived. You say, "Is that the system of God?" Yes it is. The believers must be so equipped that Paul said in his day, to them "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:8). Now, those people were equipped in the gospel, they caught a revelation. They did not have tapes, they did not have books, but they caught a revelation of the Word, they had the Holy Spirit upon them, they knew Satan's system. They had Paul, a teacher with a gift of God every day preaching to them how the antichrist worked. They were acquainted with that. Being acquainted with that system you know what happened? Brother Paul gave them the authority. He said, "any man trying to change that message", he said, listen to me, if it is a bright shining angel come down from heaven and tell you contrary to that message, let him be accursed. Now, do you see how serious those men were with the message? Now, the only way that you would not be deceived and not miss that Rapture is to put a backbone in your back, it doesn't matter who rises up to change that message, right in your church, if it's your pastor baptizing in titles of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, you got to do like Paul said and be re-baptized in Jesus Christ Name. If you sit in a church that allows women to preach, it is contrary to 1Timothy 2:11-12. "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." And if ever your church allows her it is the antichrist that's anointing the whole organization from the superintendent right down to the pastor, and you need to jump out of that. The Seals were opened up for your deliverance. That's the truth of the gospel. There we are children. Anytime you catch a revelation of the system of deception, of how the antichrist works, you are able to pick out the antichrist. That is why the seals were opened. Now, you must get a revelation, not an intellectual understanding, of how the devil works! And how does he works? The devil comes to the true message and just twist it just a little bit, changes it here and changes it there. Notice that he comes in very innocently, white, clean, as your best friend and changes it innocently. If you catch a revelation of that system of the devil, whether that antichrist system comes in your wife, you will speak like Job. The antichrist started riding her one time, as nice a lady as she was, and she laid down on the bed, hugged up Job and said, "Darling, you are suffering too much, why don't you curse God and die the death?" My Brother, he sprang up from under that sheet and said, "My God! White horse riding under this sheet!" He said, "Woman! You speak like one of the foolish virgins! Shall we receive good at the hand of the Lord and not evil?" My Brother, he resisted that white horse under his sheet. Do you see how close up he came? I think that is the closest. If you catch the revelation of the system of deception then you have it in your heart. It doesn't matter where it comes from, I am not afraid; I don't have to call you aside and tell you, "Now brother, watch at this brother here, watch him. You see what he is doing?" The only way that I will tell you that is if I know that you don't have that revelation. I've got to help you. I trust what you have heard, what you have seen, what you understand, and I trust that revelation that God gave you to take you all the way, the gates of hell cannot prevail against that revelation. Do you see what I mean? Did you hear the prophet of God say that when the Seals were opened up, you would understand from Genesis to Revelation, all the mysteries of God? Now, if you catch the system of this first Seal you are able to see the antichrist from Genesis to Revelation. Do you see how it is applied? I am saying that the Seals have to do with Genesis to Revelation. Then the first seal has got to be applied from Genesis to Revelation. The antichrist was in every book in the Bible my Brother, right through the course of them, starting from the Garden of Eden right down to the end time, the antichrist worked. Is that right? [Congregation says, 'Amen!']. Let us see if we could pick out the antichrist working in Genesis. Alright! God sent down a pure message. God himself brought the message. He delivered the message to mankind. There was a "beast power" in the Garden of Eden and there was an antichrist spirit. It jumped upon the serpent and came down there to Eden and perverted the message of God. What did it do? Brought death. Was that your white horse rider over there? [Congregation says, 'Amen!']. That's your white horse rider riding over there in Genesis. I want to show you him in another place. God Himself came down and was made a man called Jesus Christ. He had twelve disciples; one of them was a treasurer and the antichrist spirit jumped upon him and he became the white horse He started to make confusion among the brethren about a box of ointment, about the policies. He was disagreeing about the policies. He could not attack Jesus' doctrine but he said, "This ointment could have been sold and given to the poor." But the Bible said, not that he was concerned for the poor but he was a thief. A thieving preacher. So, he disagreed with the policies of the church. After that, we are going to talk about the red horse tomorrow. The antichrist also rode the red horse in Judas. He rode that horse because he was a traitor. Now I showed you the white horse in the beginning, I showed you it in the middle of the book and way down in the end here if you, could see the white horse today. The white horse is riding any preacher, any assembly…, any ministry that changed the Word of God and condones sports under this message is antichrist. Immoral dressing is antichrist doctrine. Anything that preaches blood off the mercy seat is antichrist doctrine. Anything that says that the thunders were revealed in 1963 is antichrist doctrine. Any man who says that he is an eighth messenger today upon the earth, is antichrist. That is getting the revelation of the system. When you catch the system, you can see the antichrist riding right under the message. Your eyes must be opened to that, and then you have caught the revelation. How many enjoyed that tonight? [Congregation says, 'Amen!']. May the Lord bless your hearts. Top |
