JOSEPH COLEMAN'S 7TH SEAL/7 THUNDERS PROGRAM
Heretical Articles Nos. 406-412
CHAPTER TWELVE
The
program of Pastor Coleman from New York, concerning the seventh seal/seven
thunders, is one of the earliest and dates back to the early seventies. Out of
this heresy many other heretical programs on this subject were
born, since contentions, disputes, ranglings and fightings arose
among that clan. Many don't recognize him any longer and are ashamed to be
identified with him and his thunders program.
His
established program of the seventh seal/seven thunders is that the seven
thunders is the seven virtues and that revelation was hidden in the pyramid.
"The prophet mysteriously preached and hid the revelation in the message. In
later years the bride was caught up in the spiritual dimension of the thunders,
together with him, and caught that revelation. The revelation of the seven
thunders are still coming progressively, because every 'thus saith the Lord' is
a thunder." He and his associates made heresies to accommodate the promises of
what the seven thunders was supposed to reveal. Such heresies are on the new
name, rapturing faith, Revelation 10:1, the super church, the promised bride's
revival and the coming of the Lord. Pastor Coleman and his seventh seal/seven
thunders program had a severe beating on our publication E.O.D.H. {# 4,
5, 8 & 9}. He, his associates and his program were totally defeated,
insomuch that he failed to lift even his little finger to defend his Satanic and
diabolical interpretation on that subject. Enough of his heresies which he
invented, through his pride and disobedience against the humble advice and
instruction of the prophet, will be documented here to make this book a complete
collection of all thunders heresies.
The
Death Seed and the Seed of Heresy that Pastor Coleman put into the Message, is
that the seventh seal/seven thunders was mysteriously revealed to Brother
Branham; and he preached it mysteriously, and it is hidden in the message.
He claimed that he was caught up in the heights of the spiritual atmosphere
and got the revelation of the Seven Thunders, approximately ten years after
the opening of the seals. He also said, every 'Thus saith the Lord' is a
thunder. Therefore from Genesis to Revelation is only thunders, thunders,
thunders, thunders.
When
that Seed was sown, automatically it opened up a door for every ambitious
preacher to think that he was finding the Revelation of the Thunders, all by
himself in the Message. People climbed up their ladders of ambition, self and
pride; and that is all that they are filled with: pride, self, ambition,
boastful mouths and immorality.
People
who never preached the thunders just jumped on the bandwagon. Good preachers
just jumped on the bandwagon to save their churches, because when that started
to move through the world, if you were not saying, "thunders, thunders,
thunders", you were considered unspiritual. So in order for these men to save
their churches, they started saying, "Yes, we see the thunders!" and they had
their own version of it.
Heretical Article No. 406:
Coleman: "The thunders were preached mysteriously by Brother
Branham, and it is in the message."
E.O.D.H. Answer:Brother Branham
never indicated that the seventh seal was revealed mysteriously; but concerning
the seven trumpets, Brother Branham said that it was preached supernaturally
under the sixth seal. Supernaturally is a long way from
mysteriously. That is where Pastor Coleman is typing from. He got an idea
in his head that the seven thunders were preached mysteriously also. That is a
lie. Any man, who will try to break "the silence" for ten years, is the
biggest impersonator that the message world has ever seen. It has corrupted the
whole message world. These super spiritual ministers and their believers
no longer practice the moral standards of the message. Their dressings changed
to some of the latest styles of New York, high heel shoes, worldly beats;
African songs and tempo injected into their music, sports etc. Local
preachers began falling in adultery and fornication, and likewise the members of
their congregations. God has a real plan and program for the
revelation of the seventh seal seven thunders, which Pastor Coleman tried to
mess up. It resulted in the many factions and innumerous heresies, formulated in
the past thirty years. True servants of God are faithfully battling to expose
such for the deliverance of God's elect, until the seventh seal is broken to the
public.
Heretical Article No. 407:
Coleman: "The seven thunders are the seven virtues."
E.O.D.H. Answer:Originally it was established by that satanic movement,
that the Seven Thunders are the seven virtues. Doctrinal division brought
about many other versions of interpretations on the Thunders throughout the
world, which exist up to this date. Mr. Coleman took something out of
context from the seventh seal, where Brother Branham said that the mystery is
held in the pyramid, and therefore came up with the heresy that the seven
thunders are the seven virtues.
I defy
the thunders being the seven virtues. It's of the devil! The seven thunders is
not the seven virtues, it's the coming of the Lord! It's the event of the
opening of the seals. Christ is now standing on earth, believe it or not! And
Jesus is yet in heaven, Jesus is still on the altar of sacrifice, but Christ is
now on earth. I am not He, and I don't know anybody that is present that is He,
but He is on earth.
Mr.
Coleman, by his religious ambitions, pride, zeal, and self-exaltation
over looked which Pyramid brother Branham made reference to, when he said
that the seven thunders is in the pyramid.
There
are three pyramids that Brother Branham preached about in his messages. Only two
were employed in the preaching of the seals. One pyramid is in Junior Jackson's
dream; that's the one that the seven thunders are connected to, because it was
the unwritten language in the Capstone that nobody could read. Next is the
pyramid of the angels. Each Angel had a seal; therefore the Revelation of the
Seals was in the pyramid of the angels. But the seventh one was the Capstone of
the pyramid. He held the seventh seal that was not given to Brother Branham. The
seventh Angel was the Capstone.
The
third pyramid that Brother Branham spoke about is the Stature of a Perfect Man.
His thunders ism is based upon this third pyramid, that "the seven
thunders are the seven virtues." Quote W.M.B.: 578-1
{405}
Heretical Article No. 408:
Coleman: "The Bride is now a super church by the headstone. Her
headstone/7 thunders sealing revival is on."
E.O.D.H. Answer:: When Coleman claimed the seventh seal/seven thunders was
revealed, he had to go through the message and justify the promises
pertinent to the seven thunders in the message. He had to find an interpretation
for the new name, for the Bride's revival. Therefore at that time Coleman
Broadcasted that the Bride's revival had started; the latter rain had fallen and
a sealing revival started in 1984, perfecting the Bride for the
rapture. Previous heresies that were exposed, stated that the seven thunders,
the seven seals message and the Word, are the headstone, and it came in 1963,
and is built upon an isolated quotation that Brother Branham made on "Sir, Is
this The Time"
Quote: W.M.B.: 47-1 "The pyramid is capped by the seven
thunders. You remember the pyramid message? It's the capstone. (Sir's is this
time 62-1230E).
Brother
Branham did say that the pyramid is capped by the seven thunders, but that has
its correct understanding. No heretic can find me a quotation of Brother Branham
saying that the headstone came at the opening of the seals, and that it was the
seven thunders
It
takes the seven thunders to bring again the headstone and stir the Bride for
revival.
The
prophet of God looked forward for the headstone coming to the bride, and in word
to Bride, he was moved by the Holy Ghost, and wrote:
Quote W.M.B.: "In these last days the true bride church
will come to the headstone, she will be a super church a super race as she
nears him… They will be the very manifestation of the word of the living God".
(Church Ages-pg 171).
When
the headstone comes the evidence is that the Bride will be a super church, a
super race. These people who claim that the headstone came in 1963, are they a
super church? Are they a super race?
If this
prophecy is speaking of a super church and a super race, there must be an
example in the Bible.
Quote W.M.B.: "The cap never did come, because it was a
cornerstone in the church. In the full church it was the headstone, so it
never did come it was rejected Christ and it will come". (Standing in the Gap
- 1963).
Heretical Article No. 409:
Coleman: "The bride now has perfect love by the
headstone."
E.O.D.H. Answer:This heresy
states that "The Bride now has perfect love." "Perfect Love," the "Headstone"
and the "Capstone" are all one and the same article. When you claim that the
Bride has Perfect Love, you are stating that the Bride has already received the
"Headstone." But the Bride has not yet received the "Headstone"; the people
don't have "Perfect Love." They don't have the "Capstone." They don't have the
"Headstone," because it has not yet come upon the earth for the Bride. But it
will be here in its predestinated time.
Brother
Branham has taught us that the Headstone is yet to come.
Quote W.M.B.: "…the church has got to get in that
condition to receive the Headstone, then take the whole thing in the
resurrection, when the Body's raised up." (Looking Unto Jesus, 64-0122, Par.
186)
He was
the capstone himself. Glory to God! Jesus was the capstone himself. The stone
which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. The capstone came
out of the grave and went away in the rapture. If you are going in the rapture
you need the capstone. If you want to come out of the grave you need the
capstone.
Quote W.M.B.: "…there'll come a sound from heaven
that'll take such a baptism of the Holy Spirit into that Bride that'll take
Her from the earth in a rapturing grace." (Three kinds of Believers
63-1124E.)
NEW NAME
Our
Lord Jesus Christ has a new name that is to be revealed in the end time. It
is his conquering name, and complete victory is to be won over hell, death
and the grave by that new name. (Revelation 19:11-21).
Since
we cannot find the new name written in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation,
then, where is this new name to be found? It is to be found in something
that is not written in the Bible. It is to be found in unwritten things like the
seventh seal and seven thunders. It must be found in unwritten mysterious
things in Scripture. The thunders were not written in the Bible, and Brother
Branham said the thunders holds the mystery of the new name.
NEW NAME REVEALED IN THE THUNDERS
Quote W.M.B.: "Every time a victory is won or something
goes on, a name is changed… and Jesus…when He conquered death and hell, and
overcome them, and ascended on high, He received a new name… it will be
revealed in the thunders." (The First Seal, P. 157-158,
3/18/63)
The new
name is a secret. No man knows it. Preachers arose who claim to know the new
name. Why? Because they claim to know the seven thunders, and the new name is
hidden in the thunders. Since they claim to know the seven thunders they have to
say something that they know the new name. They have guessed at it.
NEW NAME - NONE DARE CONJECTURE (GUESS)
"And I will write my New name upon him... What that name
is, none dare conjecture. It would have to be a revelation of the
Spirit given so conclusively that none would dare deny it. But no doubt He
will leave that revelation to the day when he desires to give that Name
forth. Suffice it to know that it will be more wonderful than we could ever
imagine." (Church Age Book - Page 318).
Heretical Article No. 410:
Coleman: "The new name of the Lord is 'Jesus'".
E.O.D.H. Answer:The quotations
below evidently prove that this is contrary to the scriptures and the teachings
of the prophet.
Quote W.M.B.: 158-3 {283} "And Jesus, His Name on earth
was Redeemer, Jesus…But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them,
and ascended on high, He received a new Name." (Seals page
158).
Quote: "When Jesus overcame, His name was
changed. And he would reveal that Name, He that would be with him,
overcome as he has, he received a New Name; And I'll reveal my New name to
him." (Thyatirean Church Age-page 293.)
Heretical Article No. 411:
Coleman: "The new name is 'Jesus by Revelation'".
E.O.D.H. Answer:This theory is
based upon Acts 3:16: "And his name, through faith (Revelation) in his
name hath made this man strong". If the New Name of Jesus, is 'Jesus by
revelation', then the early church had that revelation, according to this
scripture. Millions of Christians knew the name of Jesus by revelation and had
God's promises fulfilled in their lives by it. Scriptures declare that Jesus had
a new name, that no man, but he himself, knew (Revelation 19:12).
Therefore, this is a heresy.
This
great impersonator from New York, after formulating many of these heresies,
and being held in such great admiration and exaltations is seldom heard of
anymore, and is a bitter enemy to many of his offspring. Their ministries
have now outgrown that one of New York with greater followings, and multitudes
of satanic interpretations that have thousands of people bound
worldwide.
If that
is the thunders, and God's real program, it never would have such confusion,
because the thunders is to unite the Bride. But what has the so-called thunders
done? Destroyed the unity that we had before 1973. We had oneness. Anything that
divides brotherhood in the message, is of the devil. False thunders from New
York divides brotherhood. They are pulling swords against one another throughout
the world.
People
hate the interpreter, separated from him. Those that claimed to be sealed and
ready for the rapture, fell in adultery and some of them died from AIDS. That is
not what the thunders is suppose to produce. Some claim that there are one or
two groups among them that are faithful, preaching the true thunders." Where did
they get it? Who interpreted it? Were they able to read the unknown language
that Brother Branham could not read?
The
worst mental delusion that ever crossed this message is when Coleman said that
the thunders was mysteriously revealed and hidden in the message. The seven
thunders is under the unknown language. Who is there to read it? There is only
one that holds it and that is the seventh Angel and He is a flying Angel who
picked up the earthly angel. Before the people go in the rapture, they will have
to humble their hearts.
SHOWDOWN AT BAREILLY, INDIA
E.O.D.H VS FALSE THUNDERS COLEMAN ISM
DENOUNCED
BETHEL CHURCH
(The House Of God)
The
Word of Truth is gaining grounds in India. God is using Bro. Ronald Watson and
many other ministers, to defeat heresies of all kinds; especially 7 thunders
heresies.
Mr.
Coleman has a stronghold in Bombay. Mr. Jerome Desouza and Mr. Royal, are his
main agents there, and the main false 7 thunders preachers in India.
Many
factions, interpretations, cults and isms were bred from the original false
thunders of Mr. Coleman. Many have their own versions, which Exposition of
damnable heresies (E.O.D.H.) went out to meet such heretics on the field;
including Mr. Gan, (who has a hold in India; one of his agents being Mr.
Richard Desouza); Mr. Woods and also Mr. Santiago, who has followings in
Africa. Besides this, God has raised up gallant men in India, Africa (Nigeria,
Ghana, Malawi, Zambia, Cameroon and other Sates), Philippines and Europe, to
contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints, and restored today
by Malachi 4: 5-6.
Ministers, who represent the truth, are frequently engaged in debates,
mainly on the thunders. Several were documented. They prevailed over false
thunders ministers and their heresies, with great victory.
The
following is another report of the success of E.O.D.H. and the ministry of
Christ, and a live debate against seven thunders heresies and heretics. Several
more heresies have surfaced under this discussion with Pastor R. Watson, D.
Asserwatham and other ministers, contending with Mr. Yunus Massey and Mr.
Shalabh Sunny; namely: Divine Love came upon W.M.B., only after the opening
of the seals; the message entitled: "False anointed ones," by W.M.B., was only
preached for the denominations, and not message followers; Apostle Peter brought
the seven thunders (7 virtues), the New Name is "Shalabh Sunny", the
sleeping saints are already resurrected, and Revelation 10:1 is now in India;
which is nothing new, but an old heresy from the days of Lawrie, who died in an
insane institution.
This
report is given by Pastors. Watson, and Ravi Lall and confirmed by other
faithful ministers from India.
"I am
truly privileged by the Lord to write a great, but humble report of the
meetings, which took place in Bareilly, near New Delhi, India.
I was
invited by a minister Brother and the Pastor of Gaziabad assembly. Accompanied
by our precious Bro. Daniel Asserwatham, we arrived on the 25th of June. We had
two days of meetings in Gaziabad, starting on Saturday 26th June. The Lord's
presence was there mightily.
One
Pastor feared earlier concerning the exposition books, but this time he boldly
declared in his church that whoever wants to receive the E.O.D.H books, can get
them from him. We are not only very happy to hear him confessing that all those
books have opened his eyes to the truth, but he also gave us a chance to preach
in his church. As a result, some of the ministers and believers came forward and
gave their names and addresses to me, to send them E.O.D.H books on a regular
basis, and also requested me to send those books to their co-ministers. I had
carried with me 55 copies of different volumes of E.O.D.H., and all were
distributed there, and there are pending requests, which we are yet to respond
to.
They
said that E.O.D.H. is an Antivirus for heresies. Some who received
earlier E.O.D.H books, testified boldly that they are blessed by the work, and
said, "Theses books have come in the right time and right season by the Lord". I
heard with my own ear that they are praying for Pastor Bruce and the other
ministers.
There
were no pre-arrangements for the meetings in Bareilly, which is a very strong
fort of the false 7 thunders, belonging to Mr. Joseph Coleman, where the false 7
thunders dominates very strongly. A Few years ago, a pastor, along with 8
believers, came out from that church, after they came to know that their Pastor,
Mr. Yunus Massey, was preaching false 7 thunders. That pastor was longing
for Preachers of Righteousness to visit Bareilly and preach against the false 7
thunders. He said, "It is the Lord that brought you here." Later, he contacted
Pastor Bruce for the help of getting E.O.D.H books, and through Pastor Dalton
Bruce, he maintained his contact with me and I am sending him all those E.O.D.H
books.
Before
we left for Bareilly with him, we were discussing about how to conduct the
meeting there. One pastor who knows Mr. Yunus Massey decided to invite him,
because this false 7 thunders group of New York was making plans to open a
printing press in Bareilly; and not only that; they started to distribute Mr.
Coleman's sermons books in the Hindi language.
An
invitation was sent to him and his party to attend the meeting, which was
organized for the 28th of June. This pastor has his godfathers in Bombay, so
they took care to hide my name, as he would have contacted Bombay and the
godfathers there would have warned him. He came to the meeting, accompanied by a
deacon named Mr. Shalabh Sunny
As the
meeting began with songs, I was not there among the saints who came to hear the
true Word of God, besides these two false preachers. Everybody thought that Bro.
Asserwatham would be preaching. But the time came for the real showdown.
From
the prayer room I went to the pulpit to preach. I had prepared another message,
but the Lord changed that subject at the last moment, and I borrowed from the
subject preached on "Two Great mysteries." I don't want to lie, because one day
I have to stand before the Lord. What I am writing is the truth. I lost control
of myself. I was fully charged by the Lord and spoke many things, which I could
see from the pulpit that the congregation was rejoicing while hearing the truth
defeating the heresies of Satan's false 7 thunders, from books 9 and 11. Those
both, Mr. Yunus and Mr. Shalabh Sunny, put down their heads
throughout the message, while I evidently proved their false 7 thunders is
wrong and it is nothing but from hell.
I
blasted those two heretics from the pulpit. I said, "The thunders uttered
from the mighty angel's mouth and not from Coleman's mouth." The Holy
Spirit called Coleman, Gan, and others, "Son's of the devil!" There was an awe
in the meeting. People were listening with respectful fear. I am not at all
exalting myself; be it far away from me, but I want to address my Lord here. He
is the one who gave us great courage.
After
the meeting was over, an elderly sister, who earlier suffered under these false
7 thunders preachers, came near to me and said, "The Lord has brought you
people here to preach against these false preachers. Today I am fully
satisfied." The heretic pastor was about to flee. One of the
ministers stopped him and his agent. They were very angry and told him, "How
could Bro. Watson call Coleman and thunders followers, 'sons of the devil?' He
said, "You can go ask him yourself."
After
the meetings, these two, Mr. Yunus and Mr. Shalabh both wanted to have a
discussion with me about what I had preached. Mr. Shalabh challenged that he
will defeat me with only two quotes. I accepted his challenge and these two were
brought to the hotel room. I told him, "You will defeat me, but you cannot
defeat the truth, which is of the Lord."
In the
hotel room we were all present; we three on God's side and two heretics on
Baal's side. The debate started. They were carrying with them no quotes. All
their allegations were baseless. When I took out the Exposition book, they were
afraid and the boy Shalabh said," No! No! No! No! Don't open that book.
Whose book is it?" [Behaving just like the maniac at Gadara when the evil
spirits in him cried out.]
Mr.
Yunus questioned: "Why did you say "bastard born", and used the word "Dog"?
I
answered him: "Even our Lord Jesus Christ also used such words against the
Pharisees and Sadducees in His day, because they were heretics. Bro. Asserwatham
said, "Our prophet used many such words, so there is nothing strange in it. We
altogether said that using "bastard", "stupid" and "dogs" against these heresies
and heretics are scriptural.
Mr.
Yunus said, "After the 7 seals opened in 1963, Bro. Branham never used
such words, because divine love came upon him."
We
three answered him one by one, that "This is also a heresy. Bro. Branham
preached a message called "Indictment," after the 7 seals were opened, and he
condemned those, even among the followers of Malachi 4:5-6, who crucified the
"Very Effect of the Word. He never preached the love gospel. He cut sin
asunder." We asked him where is the quotation that Bro. Branham had
received divine love in 1963. They both failed to prove it. Mr. Yunus and
Mr. Shalabh both claimed that Bro Branham preached "Anointed Ones At The
End Time" only for the denominations, but not for those who follow
Malachi 4:5-6.
We
refuted this heresy and said, Brother Branham knew that those false
prophets and false teachers would arise from the same message of Malachi 4:5-6,
to try to deceive the very elect, and Euphrates Devils, by the Millions
would possess those message followers; therefore he had the foresight and
preached that message. Denominations have no material to deceive the very elect,
but those followers of Malachi 4:5-6 have the materials to do this job, and it
is also mentioned in Mathew 24:24, because it had to happen when the Son of Man
was revealed, and we know that the Son of Man was revealed at the opening of the
7 seals.
Mr.
Shalabh Sunny claimed that "The Mighty Angel of Revelation 10:1 is now in
India." He quoted from the seven seals book where it was mentioned that "The
one with the seventh seal flew towards the east, and Bro. Branham was on the
horse with an Indian Chief dress." (And Knoweth It Not 1965.)
We
refuted this heresy by E.O.D.H. book 11, Question 350, page 104, and Question
331, Page 70. We silenced them by book 11. They both were afraid. They were in
opposition of us opening the E.O.D.H books to disprove their heresies.
Mr.
Yunus and Mr. Shalabh Sunny claimed that "Peter brought the 7 virtues of
the 7 thunders, therefore this seven thunders revelation was here from
since the days of Peter, but it was hidden to us; but in the last days it was
revealed to us."
We
refuted this doctrine by E.O.D.H book 10, Heretical Article No. 69, Page 14. Our
question: You are going after Coleman and his doctrine. You are following him.
The thunders proceeded out of the mouth of The Mighty Angel, not
Coleman.
Answer
of Yunus Massey and Shalabh: We have nothing to do with Coleman and his
church. This "thunders" revelation; we have received directly from
God.
Mr.
Yunus and Mr. Shalabh claimed that Bro. Branham touched the 7 thunders,
literally, and he knew what it was.
We
asked for the quotations, but they failed to produce them.
They
said, "The sleeping saints are already resurrected in us now."
We
asked for the quotations, but they failed to produce as much as one. Instead of
the quotation, they said that it is a revelation.
Mr.
Shalabh Sunny claimed that "The new name will be Shalabh Sunny."
This is
a blunder and lie of the devil, and we also asked for a quotation for this
statement. He could not produce any. On the contrary, he said that this one
should have the revelation. So we defeated them by the power of Almighty God and
they could not stand before us with their dirty heresies.
Then
finally, the heretic pastor Yunus Massey made a statement, after which it was
not considered necessary to continue the debate. His words were as follow:
"Even if I go to hell with this doctrine of the thunders, I will not leave
this doctrine." See what insanity? This statement indicates that he is in
the state in which his ears can be bored. He trampled under foot the blood of
Jesus. I hope there is room for them to repent. {Heb. 10:26}. Innocent people
are prey to their devilish doctrines.
One
victory we got is that after hearing the message, both of these heretics
denied Coleman. They said that, "We have nothing to do with Coleman
and Bombay." How true that is, only God knows. Probably they were trying to
hide themselves. They are still reading Coleman's books. But that was their
statement. They never left his doctrine.
There
will be a false 7 thunders meeting in New Delhi. But the Lord already took us
there before the meetings could take place. Our Lord is gracious.
One
minister said, "I wish to express my thanks to Bro. Bruce for acting so promptly
and sending us the books and tapes. These books have opened our eyes. After
reading your books, the brethren here have taken a stand and they can now face
the heretics and their questions. There is one brother here. He was visited by
this same person Shalabh Sunny. This boy, Shalabh, told the brother that the
thunders are revealed and the 7 virtues are the thunders. The brother here
regularly reads your books. He asked questions that "If the thunders are
revealed, then tell me when the Lord is coming? What is the interpretation of
that unknown tongue? Can you create squirrels? Can you heal your cold? And you
talk about rapturing faith?" That boy was answerless. He got angry and spoke
evil things about me. So the exposition books are doing their job."
At last
we had a wonderful meeting in Shahajapur in U.P., where the Pastor who ministers
there, said that his eyes were opened after he received the E.O.D.H books, and
told me to send his salutations and regards to Bro. Bruce.
As I
noticed, and with me, there are ministers and believers of like faith,
witnessing that there are many who will come forward to take these E.O.D.H
books, and they want to be delivered from those dirty heresies. Let us pray for
them. In the departing prayer, the pastor thanked God for sending a warning. So
the doors for "thunders" people were closed there also.
I
finally send, all of our ministers and Pastors of the respective churches of
like faith, from the Northern and Southern parts of India, all of their love,
affections and faithfulness towards the work. They all, with one mind, said that
they are praying for Bro. Bruce, and they all would like to see him one day, if
the Lord tarries. They said, "The Right time, Right season and Right Man of God
to deliver us."
I thank
the Lord for all these happenings. I send my thanks and love to each and every
saint and minister in Bethel, St Vincent, Grenada and Grace Covenant Church
U.S.A, FOR THEIR STEADFAST PRAYERS & SUPPLICATIONS which brought us great
victory here. Let the almighty God always guide you and lead you all the days of
your life. This is our daily supplications to the Lord. Peace be to you all."
DEFENDERS OF HERETICS SILENCED BY E.O.D.H.
23-05-04 Mpanga Winston Kabwe Zambia. Dear Brother Mpanga Winston,
E.O.D.H. Answer:Greetings in
the lovely name of Jesus Christ. Peace be unto you, and unto all the saints in
that region. I received your most welcomed letter dated May 2004. Yes, we are
fine in the Lord and enjoying his blessings in this part of the world. I am
happy that you received nine of our books, and have observed that 90% of our
labors are spent on the issue of the seven thunders. You said that you heard our
story on the thunders and have expressed on your letter what you had to say on
the subject.
You
claimed to have gone through my books E.O.D.H. books 1-9. I stand in doubt that
you have done so, because of your wild accusations and poor defense against my
teachings and your vague quotations to support that the thunders were revealed
in 1963. "The prophet said thunders are revealed in the seals".
I
noticed you addressed your self as "Brother", and not a minister. If so, by what
authority do you venture to correct ministers and scribes of the Lord?
The attitude manifested in your letter is typical to intellectual, carnal and
high-minded people around the message. They correct, discipline and lead
pastors, because they can read, write or are educated in some field of learning,
and sound more like parrots than preachers, if you are not a preacher, and have
a superior office gift and commissioned by the Lord, you have no business trying
to correct servants of God. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to
his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is
able to make him stand". {Romans 14:4}.
"Let
every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves
damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou
then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have
praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou
do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he
is the minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that doeth
evil"{Romans 13:1-4}. Is this the way you handle your pastor and ministers who
are set over you? If so you act like a goat. It would have been be so much
better and acceptable if your pastor had written such a letter.
The
poet said "fools rushed in where angels fear to tread". The greatest
heretic and perverter of the seven thunders from New York is Mr. Coleman,
who received our books, and fear to attack our work of E.O.D.H, likewise
Mr. Santiago and Vin Dayal, with many others who were exposed. Who are you?!
Those heretics are sure about the accuracy of their exposition, supported by the
word and countless quotations of the prophet to prove that the seven thunders
were not revealed in 1963 by WMB. Gan from Singapore tried with all his might to
disprove the word of truth, and was silenced with the sword of the king. You
have arrived many years too late on a lame donkey with a vague quotation
against approximately 60 quotations of Brother Branham which have established
that the seventh seal/seven thunders was not revealed in 1963.
The
quotations that you have written to prove that the seven church ages was a work
of Brother Branham, is irrelevant. I believe every one of them. Also, your
questions where the prophet claimed ownership of the book: "Do you
believe…three kinds of believers…which of the three is your group;" and your
statement; Quote: "I will pray that the Lord open your understanding as regards
the seven thunders. May I know if the above quotations from message books are
true or not." Your questions and statements are rude, and you are
strictly out of place to challenge our work without answering our most important
question. I now challenge you with the heretics you support, be it whosoever, to
answer the main question that dominates my writings of E.O.D.H., on the subject
seventh seal/ seven thunders.
E.O.D.H. Question: When was the unknown language of
the seven thunders revealed, where and on what tape that released the
revelation of the seven thunders? I will now refer you to the forty-plus facts
of the prophet, document on E.O.D.H. book 5, that verifies that the seventh
seal/seven thunders was not revealed in 1963 to him, nor the church. Do you
believe them? It will tell you who are the unbeliever now, and which group you
belong to. I demand of you to tell me what you are going to do with such
quotations, in comparison to what you read on the church ages book (pages
324-327)?
You
said that you gave both schools of thought a chance to see what they believe and
live, and you have given a report by the witness of God concerning the
unholiness of such believers, and asked the following questions.
Mpanga's Question: "If what is teaching that thunders are not
revealed, is of God, why can't the same spirit teach these believers about the
Holiness of God, because he is the spirit of truth?"
THIRD PULL, ONE THING IN UNKNOWN LANGUAGE, I CANNOT
INTERPRET
Quote W.M.B.: 564 (2) "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. But I was standing right there and looked right straight at it, and
this is the third pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God... Oh, my. That's
the reason all heaven was silent. (New Ed. Page 509
(299-300)).
CHECKED TO STOP, REASON SEVENTH SEAL NOT REVEALED
Quote: 564 (3) 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. (New Ed. Page 509
(301-302)).
WHAT THIS GREAT SECRET IS, I DO NOT KNOW. I KNOW IT'S THEM 7
THUNDERS
Quote: 567 (1) Now, notice. So help me, by God I tell
the truth, that these are spiritually discerned to me (See?), discerned by the
Holy Spirit. And by every one of them, has identified his place in the Bible.
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. (The seventh seal 24/3/63).
I LOOKED FOR INTERPRETATION, I COULDN'T MAKE IT OUT, HOUR ISN'T QUITE
YET FOR IT
Quote: 567 (2) 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. (New Ed. Page 510
(323-324)).
Answer: I took notice that you have itemized the gross
unholiness of such people to justify that the thunders are revealed, instead of
quoting the word and message of the prophet. Who are these people you are
referring to? I guess they are isolated to your little corner of the world. In
what way do they believe that the thunders are not revealed? Is it according to
the doctrines of Ewald Frank, who believes that the thunders are not even
for the bride? How can you judge the rest of the message world by what is going
on in your corner? I know and I am acquainted with thousands in the Western
world, India, Germany, and some places in Africa, who believe like Brother
Branham, that the seventh seal/seven thunders is not revealed. These people
live the Holiness message to the letter. The holiness standards are
complimented, even by heretics who believe that the seven thunders were revealed
in 1963. Yet, I have refrained from using that as the measuring rod to prove
that the seven thunders were not revealed in 1963.
I
have proven all thunderisms to be Satanic and from the pit of Hell, by
the word of God and quotations of the prophet, and in addition, have given a
countdown of such heretics and their followers' departure from the Holiness
standards of the message.
It
is a total impossibility for you to have read E.O.D.H (nine books) and yet come
up with your foolish questions, and wild accusations, saying that I do
not accept the teachings of the seven church ages book. What I said about the
church ages book is very clear, that it was inspired, but statements on the
thunders are inconsistent to the teachings of Brother Branham and cannot be
found on the tapes. {E.O.D.H. Book 9 page 27-31}. How dare you falsely accuse me
of such a heresy? This is a beam in your own eye, and with that beam you try to
take out the splinter in other people's eyes in your little corner! You read my
books with a made up mind in support of the heretics which you catered too, or
you would not tell such a lie.
I
demand of you, to answer my question: "When and who revealed the
unknown language, for the revelation of the seven thunders?" If you actually
studied my books, you will see how great men, with a wonderful spirit on them,
and a blessed attitude, unlike yours, were unable to answer this question. If
you think that you have more revelation than the authors of this heresy, I
demand of you to answer that question; and if you cannot, I command you to hold
your peace, find your place, if you are a sheep, and beg God to have mercy upon
you, that he may humble your pride. I am waiting on the answer to this
question, as I may possibly have this letter published, with that answer, on
some of my literature. The thunders that you prayed that my understanding be
opened to, is not the thunders of God, but of Satan, and from the pit of
hell, so you better stop praying for me, and beg God to deliver you from the
biggest satanic delusion, that started in New York. I anticipate your soon
reply. May the Lord bless you with eyesalve.
Pastor of Bethel and Editor of E.O.D.H.
Date: 13-07-04 Greetings Brother & Minister Mpanga,
E.O.D.H. Answer: Thank you for your response, to the reply of
your letter dated 10th June 2004. I have noted the contents and considered your
concerns. You requested that your letter be placed side by side, if I publish
your letter on my literature. I am sorry to say that it is unfit to take
that place, because it is full of expressions of lies, hypocrisy, smack
judgments, false accusations of me as a "racist" and a minister with the wrong
attitude. Your letter was so written to cover up your false accusation of
me about not believing the seven church ages book as a work of Brother Branham.
Quote Letter 10-06-2004
Mpanga: "I had questions to ask for an explanation, you
call me a goat and a fool. In my asking you questions I was not judging your
work as you"
"I
found your statements needed explanation concerning the book in question {seven
church age book}All I requested from you was to confirm whether the book
in question was brother Branham's work".
"Would
you side with a man who calls believers who ask for clarification Goats? I
never meant to judge or correct under look your work." "You have again
refused to accept the exposition of the seven church age book, saying
that it was not the prophet who wrote the book. Sure he didn't write himself but
he employed some one to write what he wanted to write. This is what the prophet
said about the seven church age book"
E.O.D.H. Answer: You went on and try to convince me by the
quotations of brother Branham on the rest of your letter that the church age
book was Brother Branham's. Five quotations were given: Revelation of Jesus
Christ 1960, Laodicean Church age 1960, Leadership 1965, Door in Door 1965,
Harvest Time 1964, Trying to do God a service 1965 and you made the following
statements. Minister Mpanga, I perceived in you a lying spirit, evident by
your own words! On your first letter you vehemently accused me of not accepting
the seven church age book. On your second letter, you said that "you were just
enquiring". You continued with your sarcastic remarks and judgmental attitudes
as follow:
Mpanga: "This is more than enough to let a believer believe that
the exposition of the seven church age book is of the Holy Ghost in the prophet
Mal 4:5-6. The prophet claimed ownership of the seven church book do you believe
There three kinds of believers my friends believer, a make believer and
unbeliever which of the three is your group?" "I pray that the Lord will open
your understanding as regards the seven thunders" "This is all for now. May I
know if the above quotations from the message books are true or not."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Is this an enquiry? You told a lie,
evident by your own letters! At this juncture, I remarked that you are rude and
out of place. I yet maintain that, because I am a firm believer in the
revelation of the prophet from the seven church ages.
When
these statements are placed in my literature, even a blind man could observe
your hypocrisy, by comparison of both your letters! Such attitude that you
manifest, when challenged by my letter is a spirit that I am familiar with. Many
in our region who believes the false thunders when cornered by the word,
literally lies saying that they did not mean that, but something else. I was
very surprise to see that same spirit in you, and you recommended your letters
as humble, yet you run down the believers in your small corner to justify that
the seven thunders are revealed instead of using the word and message of WMB.
Sir
Mpanga, we are mortal men and we misunderstand things. The humble thing for you
to have done, was to say that you misunderstood my projections concerning
the seven church ages E.O.D.H. book 9 page 27-31. I would respect that more than
all the lies you told and even now I forgive you for all your lies and
false accusation against me. Please change that attitude. We hope to
spend eternity together.
I
never called you a goat, or a fool. I said "if so you act like a goat,
also the poet said "fools rush in where angels fear to tread". You placed it in
such a context, as if you were sincerely and humbly seeking clarification
and I treated you as I treated other believers, calling you a goat and fool.
Isn't that gross hypocrisy?
You
weep about the words "Goat and Fool" like a crying baby. Didn't Jesus say "ye
fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken? Didn't
Paul say oh foolish Galatians. You need more training in the word before you
address yourself as a minister.
I
Dealt with thousands of questions and answers, locally and overseas and never
displayed such attitude
I
must also mention a major deceit which you expressed. You refused to answer my
question, demanding of you to say when was the unknown language
interpreted by Brother Branham and on what tape. You dodged this issue instead
of saying that you cannot answer it. That is gross dishonesty. No man was able
to answer that question worldwide and you cannot! I further challenge you to do
so if you can, since you declared that the thunders were revealed.
RACIST SPIRIT
Mpanga: "I know why you are said little corner of the world, it is
because I am writing from Africa. It shows how even you a pastor would follow
the worldly people in looking down on Africans that is a racist spirit and not
the spirit of Christ. I thank God I was ordained to be born in a small corner of
Africa and Zambia in particular"
E.O.D.H. Answer: Your discernment and carnal assessment of me
as a "racist" is off the devil. You base your assumption on my statement of
saying you in your little corner.
The
same spirit that gave you this carnal understanding is the same one that is
misinterpreting the bible and message of Brother Branham to say that the
thunders are revealed when fifty quotations declares that it is not. Now
minister Mpanga, who has the wrong attitude, spirit and judgmental attitude?
It's you!! By your own words are you justified or condemned. Out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh! If your thinking was right as a
Christian, you could not carry my statement that far, but you would understand
when I said "small corner" that I meant you are only speaking about what you are
seeing in your area and have a knowledge only of non seven thunders people
around you. To prove the meaning of what I said, I continued to say there are
those that I know who lives the life and holiness standards.
Associate Ministers, and Friends will laugh you to scorn in Africa and
Zambia, because of our mutual love, fellowship and respect to our nationality!
You
said that my life is expressed in my language, and was offensive than
corrective, too carnal than spiritual. Are you saying that Jesus Life and his
manner of preaching and correcting was unscriptural when he told Peter get thee
behind me Satan, and in Matthew 23, when he addressed the scribes and Pharisees,
Lawyers and priest etc, as hypocrites with a host of other condemnations,
or are you saying when Jude addressed those who were perverting the word, evil
beast ordained to condemnation, creeps, raging waves etc. etc, that he had a bad
attitude? How do you read your bible Minister Mpanga? I guess you preach a soft
and dotty Gospel that is called the "Love gospel". What do you think of the
Apostle Paul in Galatians 1:8 &9? Did he have a bad spirit, or Apostle Peter
in 2nd Peter second chapter or Brother John in his epistles. You have declared
yourself as a minister, but you sound to me more like a parrot!
You
said you are humble, were enquiring, not meant to correct my work, but
throwed my letter in the dustbin and the books will follow. You are a BIG
hypocrite, throwing the scriptures of the bible, and quotations of the prophet
with the truth explained! You will account to God! Is that a humble spirit or
the spirit of the devil? All these things you do on the basis of your soft and
dotty spirit, that cannot contend for the faith like Jude commanded. I further
challenge you to show me in the scriptures and the message, your vision of
preaching the message without rebukes, condemnation of sin, heresies and false
prophets.
My
advice to you is to get that deceitful attitude and spirit out of you if you
plan to go in the rapture. May the Lord bless you with Eye salve.
Pastor of Bethel, Dalton Bruce.
TWO ID'S - DEFENDER OF HERETICS
MICHAEL VAN DONGEN/ASINUS AUREUS
4th
June 2004 Dear Brother Michiel Van Dongen,
E.O.D.H. Answer: I do greet you in the precious name of our
risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for your most welcomed letter
without a signature. I noted the contents and your concerns about errors, which
you think you found in our work.
I
noticed in your short address, that you strain at a gnat and swallow a
camel, even as our Lord said of the Pharisees; 1) as you quoted me saying, "I
have not a message." That should help you to understand that I am straight on
Brother Branham's message, if you did not swallow a camel. There is only one
messenger and one message in each age. Every preacher doesn't have a message for
the age, so you are talking nonsense, in your desperation to defend a
personality and a heretic from New York.
As
the old saying goes: "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." You have taken
up a challenge that your heretic fathers: Coleman and Gan, whose names
you mentioned on this letter, did not touch with their little finger. Are
you a greater heretic than they? It seems so. I will now address some of your
nonsense that you call 'mistakes in my book', but I must remind you that I do
not waste pen and ink, and you may very well see some of your folly published.
Many are afraid to challenge my teachings, because of this fact
About fools rush in where fallen angels fear to tread.
"Melchisedec met Abraham": You have no scripture to prove that it was only a
one time meeting. My writings were suggestive, just like any other suggestions
Brother Branham made on all the characters of the Bible. With that spirit, you
will find faults with Brother Branham's statements
Dongen: "Page 108 book nine "We is wrong, that must, be "they"
shall build houses and inhabit them. Not we, 'but' 'they', the sheep nations
will build houses and inhabit them and the bride will rule of them that live in
those houses. The bride of Jesus Christ will be with Him in Jerusalem and they
will not build those houses ....so you're wrong on that explanation."
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is the dumbest doctrine I ever heard,
that here you cannot separate the elect from the nations in the millennium. The
Bible said that they that build houses are the elect (Isaiah 65:22). Maybe you
meant to say not "you". But this is a promise for we, the elected children of
God. We are included. Brother Branham said, "We shall build houses." Are
you trying to correct him also? It seems as though you have your own
message.
Quote W.M.B.: E-52 "Then along came the greatest Warrior
of them all, Jesus. And He said that God has prepared a place where there's no
death (Amen.), where we can live forever, build houses and
inhabit them, plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them, and we'll not
leave them for somebody else. Amen." (Greater than Solomon is here
62-0725).
There are thousands of places, where Brother Branham partially quoted
the scriptures inaccurately. Do you want to correct him and his message, or you
strain at a gnat and swallow a camel?
Dongen: "page 111 book nine, You call the creator 'the highest
creature in the whole universe is God."
E.O.D.H. Answer: You are taking things out of context. Your
whole aim is to defend a heretic and heretics. Man was made in the image of God,
and he is a creature.
Dongen: "Before you are correcting others and call them doctrines
of them heresies, why you don't correct yourself first."
E.O.D.H. Answer: I don't mind being corrected. But if I have a
man like you, who are defending a personality, and cannot prove to me where I am
wrong, I will never be corrected. You are a poor example in your efforts. Seems
like you are afraid to sign your name. It shows a lack of faith in what
you are saying. A man who cannot correct his grammar should not venture to
correct scriptures.
If
you had studied my work before trying to correct me, you would understand what
is wrong with these men. You have proven, by your question, that you have
challenged something that you have not thoroughly studied. Go back and study
Exposition Book 8, Book 2, Book 5, Book 6 and Book 11, and you would have a
better idea. Then, if you are willing to continue this challenge that you have
taken up, you can do so. If you, as a follower of this message, can
support what Coleman and Gan teaches, you are a heretic yourself, and I
call you to repentance. Many people follow a personality, and not the message of
William Branham. I trust that you would change your course after this. However,
my earnest prayer is that we spend eternity together.
Your servant for Christ sake, Bro. Dalton
Bruce
Date: 15-06-04 Dear Brother Asinus Aureus,
Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for your
most welcomed letter and challenge on our books E.O.D.H. I noticed that there is
a remarkable change in your second letter from hostility to expressions
of brotherly love. Your first letter started off abruptly accusing me for saying
that I have no message of my own but only preaches the prophet message; you took
offence in that statement and you were shut up by the word and dropped that
argument. You stated that you found many mistakes on E.O.D.H book 9 and my other
books. On your second letter, you stated that you do not have my books. Isn't
that a lie?
You
stated that you wanted to find out about the wrong doctrine of the heretics you
mentioned in a defensive manner, stating that I should correct myself before
correcting others. Now you tell me on your second letter that you don't
believe them. Are you speaking the truth, is the big question? If you did not
tell the truth about my books, how can I believe you onthis matter? I am giving
you my website address where all our books are free to download.
On
your second letter you gave me a name, which you did not give on your
first letter. Again an expression of your hostility! Is that really your
name?What these names represents in your email address?
I
now address your second letter, in which you said, that you took up my
challenge, others did not take them up, because they are too many errors to
correct. You stated that you can even correct Brother Branham.
What is your office gift? I noticed that you stated "brother"! What is your
calling, is it to correct the message? What is your subject under discussion?
You went off prattling about attitude, unkindness in speech, church age book,
Dr. Vayle, endeavoring to prove that the church age book is not brother
Branham's book but Dr. Vayle's, spoke about Perry Green and other unrelated
issues, not forgetting, your strange and foolish heresy, that the foolish virgin
will be in the Millennium. Will you also correct the prophet {WMB} on his
teaching that the foolish virgin is not resurrected until after the thousand
years?
I
firmly believe that the church age book were authorized by Brother Branham and
contains what he preached on the tapes, with the exception of a few items that
was misconstrued. You dumped the whole book as Lee Vayle's book, you are talking
nonsense and don't even know the value that Brother Branham himself placed on
that book. You search out the quotes. That is not our subject. E.O.D.H. is our
subject No wonder why you cannot stand the quotations of the prophet, because
you know more than him. Anybody that knows more than a prophet knows more than
God. Who are you to correct the word of God and the major prophet, even if you
holds an office, you are out of place with your senseless challenge. A
lay-member without an office has no place in correcting a minister on doctrines,
he needs to shut up. It does not matter how intellectual he is.
Your
letters does not indicate intellectualism as I can hardly understand from your
writing what you are trying to say, and as for revelation you indicate that you
have none. Your challenge is senseless, without proper foundation and a waste of
time! You should beat upon your breast and beg God for mercy for judging the
truth by your heretical conceptions. E.O.D.H books is unchallengeable by the
biggest brains around the message. Who are you? You sound so cheap and common,
when you speak about attitude and unkind words. Are you saying that Jesus
attitude was wrong, in Matthew 23? Maybe you never read it, also Stephen, Acts
7, Jude 1, and thousands of places in the scriptures where servants of God had
to correct people? You are talking nonsense and don't even know what subject
that you want to discuss. Here you are saying that you don't have my books, but
one and have taken up a challenge against my work. Isn't that dumb? "A fool
rageth and is confident".
You
stated that I and other ministers take all the tithes for ourselves, because
Brother Branham said it belongs to the priest. How dare can you pass such
judgment on me? Do you know our church financial affairs? Do you know what my
ministers receive, and other ministers around the world? Do you know about what
portion of tithes and offerings that the people receive at Bethel the House of
God, and other associated churches? You are RUDE and out of place, and you are
telling a lie!
You
re-quoted my statement about swallowing a Carmel, and you called it unkind. Are
you saying Jesus was unkind with a wrong attitude? Or are you ignorant of the
simple gospel that he preached, to the Pharisee straining at little doctrines
and swallowing heresies that damns the soul.
"Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of
the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess."
(Matthew 23:24-25).
I
will now set you right on your damnable heresy that the foolish virgins will be
in the Millennium. May this help you to understand your poor understanding, lack
of revelation and spirit of God and under which conditions you volunteered to
correct E.O.D.H. and even the teachings of Malachi 4:5:6. I outlined the
teaching of the prophet on the subject as follows:
Heretical Article No. 412:
Asinus Aureus: "The foolish virgins will reign a thousand years
worldwide as kings on the earth after they have been resurrected before the
millennium. See Revelation 20:4."
"And I
saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw
the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word
of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had
received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years." (Revelation 20:4).
E.O.D.H. Answer: The millennium is a period of one thousand
years. During this time the foolish virgins, a saved group of people will be:
a. In the grave during the millennium b. She will not be in the
bride. c. She will not rise in the first resurrection but in the general
resurrection at the end of the millennium. d. She will go through the
tribulation because she is a professed believer and did not enter the wedding
supper. e. She suffered persecution and was martyred. She had to go through a
purification process. f. Christ and the Bride will set in judgment to judge
the foolish virgins for their complacency. This judgment is after the one
thousand years are past.
Quote W.M.B.: "The church, the lukewarm, the anything
outside of the elected Bride will go through the tribulation period. They will
not raise in the first resurrection: "The rest of the dead lived not for a
thousand years," just the foreordained, predestinated, elected Bride,
God's own elections. "Who is it, Brother Branham?" I don't know? I can't tell
you who it is, but I know it's going to be there, 'cause the Lord said they
would. See? They are the ones that'll go up from the tribulation, but the rest
of them will go through the tribulation, go down, and everything will be
killed before the millennium. Then the--the righteous shall come out in the
millennium and live a thousand years." (Questions and answers COD 64-0823E
P:117)
Quote: "Now, just a minute. "Will the foolish virgin be
saved." No. Whatever happens she--happens now. After that time she's in the
state... Now, she will have to go through the tribulation period. And
the reason of it is, is because she has rejected the Atonement in Its
fullness. She is a believer, a professed believer, but she will have to go
through the tribulation period." (Questions and answers COD 64-0823E
P:88)
Quote: "It's too late now." You remember, they didn't
know it until the day they entered into the ark, and then it was too late.
The foolish virgin didn't know until she come back and found the wise virgin
gone. Then she was left for the tribulation period. No good teacher
believes that the church, the bride... The church goes through the
tribulation, but not the bride." (God hiding Himself in simplicity 63-0412E
P:116).
Quote: "Where are the foolish virgins during the
millennium? In the millennium they're in the grave. "The rest of
the dead lived not for a thousand years." ( Questions and answers COD 64-0830E
P:67)
Quote: "When the millennium starts, how will the
unbelievers be taken off of the earth?The unbelievers will go down in the
tribulation period with the sleeping virgin, and all those others
(unbelievers, and sleeping virgin), and the remnant of Israel that's to be
taken out." (Questions and answers COD 64-0830E P:61).
Quote: "Now, were the five of the virgins lost? I
presume that they are asking the question, "the five virgins," the five wise
and the five foolish. Now, if you were with us in the last teachings in
Revelation, you find out there that those virgins, the--the five foolish
virgins were not lost; but they were not permitted to go into the
wedding supper, but they suffered persecution, and was martyred, and raised
again at the general resurrection in the last day. Those are the people
where He separated the sheep from the goats (See?); they stood before
judgment." (QA God being misunderstood COD 61-0723E
P:26)
Quote: "Let's see, Brother Branham, what happens to the
people that are--are considered the sleeping virgin when they are judged at
the judgment? Well, the sleeping virgin will be saved of course. She'll be
saved at the judgment. She'll never be the Bride, but she is a saved group of
people that will come in the judgment, that will not be included in the Bride.
But as long as they are virgins, they are before God. See? They are to be
saved. He separates... They'll be the sheep on His right side. And the unsaved
will be the goats on His left at the great white throne judgment." (Questions
and answers COD 61-1015M P:91)
Quote: "After the rapture of the Bride, when does the
church that had to go through the tribulation period stand at the
judgment? Is it after or before? After. The rest of the dead live
not for a thousand years that didn't go with the Bride." (QA on the seals
63-0324M P:174)
Quote: "What happened to the born again believers who
are in the various denominations but not in the Bride of Christ? What happens
to them? Well, I think we explained that awhile ago. See? They go into the
tribulation. They are martyred in the tribulation, come up in the last
after the millennium for their judgment (See?), because the Bible said that
the rest of the living... the rest of the dead lived not until the thousand
years was expired. Then there was a resurrection, and then come forth the both
just and unjust and was judged by Christ and the Bride. He came to the earth
with ten thousands times ten thousands of His saints (Is that right?), His
Bride. Judgment was set, the books was open... Books were open, and another
Book was opened, which is the Book of Life. He separated from there the goats
from the sheep. Is that right? That had nothing to do with the Bride. She was
standing right there in judgment with her Queen--the Queen and King together."
(QA on the seals 63-0324M P:94)
Seeing the characteristics of the foolish virgins and that she will be
in the grave during the millennium, she will rise during the general
resurrection at the end of the millennium and given life at the White Throne
Judgment. The question is, how could she be reigning for one thousand years
during the millennium?
This
is my final letter. I don't waste time on nonsense and a man that do not have a
calling to handle the scriptures. As promised this may possibly appear on one of
my books. I admonish you to repent of your folly, humble your heart, especially
after you consider the teachings of the prophet above on the foolish virgin. If
that don't open your eyes, it will take much more to do it. I trust to spend
eternity with you and if we do, you will certainly have a change of doctrine and
attitude to the truth. May the Lord bless you with eyesalve is my prayer.
Your Servant for Christ Sake Dalton Bruce.
