RAYMOND JACKSON'S SEVENTH SEAL/SEVEN THUNDERS PROGRAM
Heretical Articles Nos. 459-487
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Apostle and pastor Raymond Jackson, regarded as an elder, by message believers, and popularly known as Junior Jackson, circulates a magazine entitled, "The Contender." He gained great popularity by his dreams, high commendation as a dreamer, and interpretations of few of his dreams by the Prophet. After the departure of the prophet he interpreted his dreams that the Prophet, had already interpreted. (He was declared only a dreamer by the Prophet, not an interpreter of dreams.) He had other dreams which he interpret. Upon such assumptions of God speaking and instructing him into an apostolic ministry, his seventh seal/seven thunders program was erroneously established. He believes like Richard Gan that seven men are to reveal the seven thunders. Their heresies are similar in nature with certain exceptions. He appointed himself "Joshua" that followed our Moses, the chief apostle to the gentiles, heading the five-fold ministry, and the church.
He used a new dream to further interpret a part of his dream, which the prophet never interpreted. Jackson's interpretation was that his horse represented the power of the word, his authority to unveil the scriptures, and his apostolic commission.
By casual examination of Jackson's white horse rider dream: anyone can understand that the prophet never related or interpreted the dream the way that Apostle Jackson is projecting them. The prophet saw his dream by a vision before he gave the interpretation and never said what Jackson is now saying. The prophet is right and Junior is wrong. Two white horses were in his dream, a large horse which the Prophet was riding, and a smaller horse which Jackson was riding.
The prophet horse rode straight into the sun, but Jackson only tried out his horse, and returned to the earth. Later he had another dream which he used to add more to his interpretation, in that dream the prophet gave him a preacher's license in the mail. He used that dream to interpret what the prophet was silent about. The prophet never told him the work he had to do, whether good or evil. Why would the prophet not tell him, but rather told him to stay with the Word? This would be clearly understood by the exposition of his heresies.
Another dream he interpreted, was one in which he quoted the prophet as saying that he wanted him to go and speak for him. This the prophet repeated twice and Jackson bluntly refused, and told the prophet that he would only go if he could preach "these", referring to seven of his own messages. The prophet gave him the permission, as he did with church order.
The foundation of Jackson's 7th seal/7 thunders program is based upon
7 sermons of his dreams. He propagated his program for many years and boasted, that none has ever challenged his revelations. E.O.D.H now takes up this challenge on the basis of the written Word and message of the hour.
His agent from Lagos, Nigeria is one: Amos Segun Omoboriowo, who fully supports him in his errors and heresies. He is going upon the reputation of a man and not upon the Word of God, or he would have a different testimony.
His ministry climbed up to the seventh seal/seven thunders, like all other impersonators on the field, but is built upon his association with the prophet, and has more weight by using the prophet's name. His program don't fit the real program of God, therefore it is not of God. Anything that is contrary to the program of God is antichrist. With all due respect to this apostle, dreamer and elder, we must stand for truth. We must not exempt him from this work, though we had not exposed him in time past because of lack of information. Brother Branham said that the thunders must be according to the Word.
Heretical Article No. 459: Church order is only for Branham Tabernacle and not other message assemblies.
E.O.D.H. Answer: This dreamer disagreed with the prophet on the teachings of church order, and those who belonged to the Branham Tabernacle, who also disagreed, went down to fellowship at Junior's church. He allowed people to prophesy, speak in tongues and interpret in the open congregation, though the prophet forbid it, placing all such gifts into a room, to be operated before service, and their messages to be read at the pulpit. Some people, who recognized that, came against him and handled the matter in a wrong manner. The prophet corrected them from the pulpit.
Quote W.M.B.: "1022-124 "Somebody made fun of somebody leaving the Tabernacle and went down to Brother Junior Jackson's for a church. Said, "They went down amongst the 'dead birds.'" Aren't you ashamed to make a remark like that? Ever who you are, if you're my kid here in Christ, I'm ashamed of you. Don't do a thing like that. Junior Jackson is my brother.
…because when I set the church here in a certain order, when I come back, to see if I could get the manifestation of the gifts, half of them pulled away from it.. If it cannot stand chastisement, then it's a bastard child."… And when the chastisement come, what happened?...
Now, Brother Junior Jackson had a right to disagree with that. That's Brother Junior's troubles; that's up to him. But Junior Jackson believes this Message the same as any of the rest of us does, just like I do… So don't say that about the brethren." (Questions & Answers 64-0823E).
The prophet was gifted with wisdom to handle unscriptural ministers, in a manner to keep the peace, avoid contentions and an open door to get the message to the church. He never condemned them openly, but said enough to let spiritual minded people understand that their teachings were wrong. With the same method, he took up for Jackson, but wisely let the church know that the operation of those gifts was contrary to the Word, and the people who could not stand that chastisement were bastard born and stated: "That's Jackson's trouble."
Jackson capitalized on what the prophet said not understanding the wisdom of the prophet in rebuking him, and concluded that church order is only for the tabernacle. Church order was not only for the Tabernacle, but was the setting in order of spiritual gifts, for the control of gifts in the church, (1 Corinthians chaps. 12 & 14). If that was only for the Tabernacle, then what Paul did was only for the Corinthian Church. It was not. That was Paul's instructions that the prophet of God broke down. Jackson or any other heretic who disregards such instructions is bastard born. W.M.B.: 534-143
His disagreement and disobedience to the prophet and church order started Jackson's trouble. No one can ignore a prophet and prosper with God. "believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper." {II Chronicles 20:20}.
E.O.D.H boldly and valiantly takes up the challenge of the heretic Jackson and will now prove that his seventh seal/seven thunders program is Satanic. We challenge the foundation of his heretical claim by the exposition of his seven messages. Since both chief apostles are established on the same heresies, the answer to some of Jackson's heresies will be referred to the answers given to Gan's heresies. We trust that after such exposition, that Elder Jackson will repent.
Heretical Article No. 460: "Jackson is the chief apostle of the five-fold ministry."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Both apostles like Richard Gan and Junior Jackson, built their ministries upon Dreams and experiences. Gan's dream revealed and placed him as having the first prize, as the chief apostle and likewise Jackson claims to be the chief apostle. Two male rats are living in the same hole and will have wars. Both men preach the same heresies with much variation, and are fighting over the first prize "chief apostleship". The five-fold ministry is not yet positionally placed, though it exists. This was evidently proven in E.O.D.H. book ten, pages 66-91….. The sons of God are not yet manifested.
Heretical Article No. 461: Rev. 10:3 says that SEVEN THUNDERS uttered T-H-E-I-R V-O-I-C-E-S. Those seven thunders will be the voices of 7 men; full of the Holy Ghost. They may live thousands of miles apart, but they will all hear and speak the same.
E.O.D.H. Answer: For a complete exposition of this heresy, see heretical article no. 355; pages 172-175 of this book. However chief apostle Jackson struck an important note to expose both himself and Gan. Both men vary on heresies and are fighting for the chief apostleship. They are both disqualified even for the last prize, because according to Jackson's doctrine, they must hear, see and speak the same, and they are not, therefore, it's antichrist, full of pride and self instead of the Holy Ghost. They are exposed by their own words, attitude and claims.
Heretical Article No. 462: Jesus only became God after his experience on the banks of Jordan.
E.O.D.H. Answer: He was born the Emmanuel. The Word is God. {See book 9: Heretical Article No. 87, question # 35; pages 89-90, for a full exposition of this heresy}.
(1) TESTING AND THE FALL OF SATAN:
Heretical Article No. 463: Back in this era, (before Genesis 1: 2) there was such a thing as prehistoric man.
E.O.D.H. Answer: This heresy is established upon a vague quotation of the prophet.
292-1 {92} "I believe every seed was laying right there from some other civilization or something, and as soon as the water lifted off and the light struck it, up come the trees and everything." (The fourth Seal 63-0321).
There are no other teachings of Brother Branham nor scriptures to support this damnable heresy! It is based strictly upon science. Note the similarity of doctrine on Gan's heresy, which was exposed on this book. See heretical articles nos. 355-405; pages 171-201. Apostle Jackson is trying to make science fit the bible by breaking down the word: "replenish". He has no authority to reveal any mystery in the bible. He is a false apostle and deceitful worker {2 Corinthians 11}.
Heretical Article No. 464: Those angels did begin to pervert and change the nature of the animals they were ruling over… animals begin to kill and devour other animals… eventually there were blood spots all over the face of this globe… this is exactly how the planet became void, as is found in Genesis 1:1.
E.O.D.H. Answer: It's amazing that the "chief apostle to the bride" is so dumb that he has overlooked the connection of Genesis 1:1, which associated creation with the earth being void, and utter all the foolishness above about how the earth became void. The word simply stated that God created the Heavens and the Earth and the earth was without form and void. Void means empty, useless and worthless. It never became void by blood spots upon the globe. Nowhere in scripture nor the message, said that angels were ruling over the animals and that they killed each other. It seems both these chief apostles read some comic books before uttering such foolishness.
Heretical Article No. 465: God had to judge those angels for what they did to the creation they were put in charge of.
E.O.D.H. Answer: Nonsense "chief"; this is unscriptural and not message based. Stop talking nonsense. Revelation chapter 12 tells us plainly why the angels were judged and placed in chains of darkness awaiting their final judgment. They were led astray by Lucifer who rebelled against God. Nowhere in the word and message advocate this heresy that they were judged because of disturbing the animals. (Isa:14. Ezk.28)
Heretical Article No. 466: The animal kingdom God gave Adam was just a new bunch that God fashioned from a mud hole somewhere. So God just resurrected them in whatever stature of size He wanted them to be…and that is what He brought to Adam.
E.O.D.H. Answer: It is written that "God made the beast of the earth after his kind." And he also said, "Let us make man in our image". {Genesis 1: 25 & 26}. Two chief apostles cannot read their bible. It's astounding. They cannot differentiate the word resurrection from creation, and utter Capital foolishness that "the animals were resurrected from a mud hole. They existed before and were resurrected." How can a heretic change the word of God from creation to resurrection? It's amazing.
Heretical Article No. 467: What scientists call the modern man, (90,000yrs ago), that was the serpent that had been resurrected, to be at the head of the animal kingdom given to Adam.
E.O.D.H. Answer: There is no scripture nor message quotation to support this damnable heresy. Gen:1 never suggested or indicted in any way about the resurrection of the serpent or any beast, but evidently spoke about the creation of all animals, fish and fowls. We challenge both these warring apostles to quote one single scripture in support of this heresy.
Heretical Article No. 468: "And God said, Let us (He is speaking to His angelic beings) make man in our image, after our likeness:
E.O.D.H. Answer: For a full exposition of this heresy, please refer to E.O.D.H. Book 9: Question 48, pages 104-107. Elder Jackson is contradicting the word and the Prophet. The very scripture that he quoted about exposed this heresy. "Image and likeness;" if God was speaking to the angles, it could not say such in singular form, but would say "images and likenesses." Angels are not in the image of God; only man (Gen: 1: 26-27). The only one that was in the image of God before man was created was Christ the son of God's Spirit (Col.1: 15), who is the image of the invisible God.
Heretical Article No. 469: "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them," talking about the fact, that in the mind of God it is all finished. He designed everything trillions of years ago…created it in the spirit… God formed man of the dust of the ground. That is the first physical thing He puts on earth.
E.O.D.H. Answer: The above utterance of foolishness is embarrassing to read when a chief apostle who claims to know more about the bible than the Prophet himself, cannot understand the physical creation of both animal and man, and spiritualize it. It's dumb! And enough to defeat his heresy. He has contradicted the word of God and cannot show one scripture or a message quotation for such a damnable heresy.
Heretical Article No. 470: Genesis 2:4 was not an initial beginning of creating. It was a recreating by redeeming it back, to become an inhabited planet once again, to start this process of replenishing it.
E.O.D.H. Answer: There is no bible, to support a re-creation in Genesis. This is strictly the imagination of heretics. I am sure that Pastor Jackson never did believe such a heresy, after he first read the bible for many years, even because of the simplicity of the scripture. The prophet never preached it, because he understood it in the simplicity that it is written. He never preached such a heresy. Why should we believe it? This is totally unscriptural and unfounded in the message. It's based on science and "prehistoric man".
Heretical Article No. 471: Man lost the serpent in the very beginning in our Eden. The serpent would have been a servant type creature. They were to do all the manual labor.
E.O.D.H. Answer: Both apostles Gan and Jackson have the same heresies on this subject. The serpent was never a household servant to Adam and not resurrected to till the soil. Man was created to till the ground but not by scientific means as these heretics think that it means, thus they gave the serpent Adam's job. To prove this point, Adam continued to till the ground after the fall, only that God cursed the earth, making it harder for Adam to eat bread (Gen:3). Nowhere in scripture did God change the occupation of Adam.
2) CITY OF PARADISE OR THE NEW CITY
Heretical Article No. 472: The New Jerusalem in Revelation 21, is called the Lamb's wife. If you literalize that city and say it is a city made up of natural mineral substance, you will have to settle as fact that you believe in polygamy. It is spiritually referred to as a city.
E.O.D.H. Answer: Elder Jackson. The city represents the Lamb's wife. Anybody with a limited understanding of reading can understand that revelation 21 fits the description of a literal city. The major prophet Malachi 4:5&6 uses the same scripture to preach future home of the bride and bridegroom. His understanding was that it is a literal city. Who are you to say differently? Are you God, or greater than God who gave him that revelation? Since you are not God, we will believe the prophet. Your nonsensical blind excuse to invent this heresy cannot stand the word test. Christ is not a "Polygamist". Whoever heard such unintelligent excuse? Don't you understand as a chief apostle that the city was a type of the bride of Christ? If you deny that, how would you explain the description of the city to fit the bride? She is not 1500 miles square and street of Gold. You will have to invent another heresy. The city comes down while the bride is on the earth at the end of the 1000 year rain. That shows that this doctrine is of the devil.
Quote W.M.B.: 50-4 "Fifteen hundred miles square. What a City. But remember the sea is gone. And the breadth and the height are the same. That would make it fifteen hundred miles this way, fifteen hundred miles that way, fifteen hundred miles the length by the breadth by the height. Fifteen hundred miles (Think of it.) transparent gold. And the City had a wall around it." (Future Home 64-0802).
Heretical Article No. 473: The Garden of Eden was spiritual, and had nothing to do with how God planted trees, flowers, etc. It was a little bit of the spirit world placed here with man in this natural world. That same setting is referred to as a city.
E.O.D.H. Answer: Utter foolishness "chief", you wear me out with your foolishness! I could not imagine that two men could speak and believe such a heresy about the Garden of Eden and spiritualize it. This is a dumb doctrine, no wonder why, nobody ever challenged you on your heresies, because it's a waste of time. But E.O.D.H. has taken up this challenge to prove that you are not so bright after all, but is spiritually dumb calling yourself a chief apostle.
Heretical Article No. 474: When God drove Adam and Eve from the garden. God lifted His presence from them and simply removed that heavenly setting from their midst and left them with those things that pertain only to earthly activity.
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is gross unbelief and perversion of the written word. "Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken." {Genesis 3:23}. They were sent out of the Garden. Not the garden left them, as you are saying, which you interpreted to be the glory of God. You could never make your heresy fit the scripture above. Adam went out of the Garden to till the ground.
3) THE TWO LAWS OF EDEN
Heretical Article No. 475: The original plan of reproduction was to be by sex.
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is the same heresy propagated by "Apostle" Richard Gan, which was exposed and refuted as Heretical Article No 376; page 190.
Quote W.M.B.: 32-3 "Now, the world is to be repopulated, not by the original creation of God like in the beginning, but by sex desire… That's the reason Jesus had to come through the woman to bring it back to its original beginning again, without sex desire. He's virgin born. But, hallelujah. there will come a time where it won't be no more sex, but God shall call His children from the dust of the earth, back like they was in the original. Not through any woman, but through the molding of the clay and the cosmic lights and the petroleum; He'll create again like He did Adam at the first time." (Marriage & Divorce 65-0221M)
Heretical Article No. 476: (God) said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception…To multiply something, IS TO INCREASE IT... multiplied her number of periods when conception could take place…
E.O.D.H. Answer:Since Elder Jackson is based upon science to prove his heresies, he has employed it even in the above. There is no scripture, nor quotation to prove this heresy. No where in scripture spoke of the woman's period being increased. It simply said that her sorrows and conception will be multiplied. He is like a mathematician and has based his doctrine on the knowledge of the evil tree, subtracting and multiplying. He should leave such words for revelation 10:7 to define. He is not greater than the prophet.
Quote W.M.B.: "Multiply and replenish the earth" (after the flood). Notice, was to be fruitful, replenish the earth, as Adam at the first... Now, can't you see what the serpent's seed is? What replenished the earth? You get it?" (Future Home 64-0802).
Heretical Article No. 477: This act of conception is a sacred thing, designed by the Creator Himself; as the only way for the redeemed planet to be repopulated.
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is a horrible lie of the Devil. Sex was never God's original plan to populate the earth. It's the devil's plan. That is why people die; and the reason that Jesus had power to lay down his life and take it up again, he was born by the spoken word and not sexual indulgence. That is why we must be born again, because the sex birth is a wrong birth. (Marriage and Divorce 1965)
4) THE WOMAN OF REVELATION 12
Heretical Article No. 478: The woman of Revelation 12 is the
nation of Israel in a panoramic view coming from the Law Dispensation right on through to her Millennial glory.
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is in opposition to the scriptures, the message and the prophet. This is a heresy from the pit of Hell. The woman of Revelation 12 is not isolated to the nation of Israel. It includes the New Testament church.
Quote W.M.B.: E-17 In the 12th chapter of Revelations we would read where the woman appeared in the sky, and she was in travail to give birth to a child, and the moon was under her feet, and the sun was at her head. Now, the... That represented the law. The Church, of course was... The woman was the Church, and the moon under her feet represented the law, and the sun at her head represented the dispensation of grace." (Law Having A Shadow 54-1203).
Heretical Article No. 479: The two wings of a great eagle the woman was given, will be the message she receives from the two prophets it is a geographical area of the world that God has prepared to take care of the Jews, during the 3 1/2 years of great tribulation.
E.O.D.H. Answer:If heretic Jackson was a true believer of this message, he would know that the prophet Revelation 10:7 was sent to break down the scriptures and not him. He would examine the message and find the same quotation that I found shut up and say only what the prophet said.
Quote W.M.B.: 156 "This United States is rotten to the core. Yes, sir. I can prove to you the very time when... This woman here, back in Revelations 12, when her man Child was caught up to set on God's throne, and when it did, the woman fled into the wilderness where she was taken care of for a thousand two hundred and threescore days to exactly the date of Plymouth Rock, exactly, where the church come over here for freedom of religion, and she established here." (Mark of the Beast 54-0513).
Heretical Article No. 480: God will spare the life of the 144,000, because when the tribulation is over they will live and reign with Christ a thousand years in immortal bodies; but not in the same capacity as the bride Church.
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is gross madness. Jackson needs a head examination. Gan already had a few in Singapore. This is madness that I have never heard nor seen. They are in opposition to the very 5th seal, which declared that the 144,000 will be killed. The prophet confirmed the same on the seal book. Let Elder Jackson punch up the quotation.
"And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled". (Revelation 6:11).
5) WHAT JESUS TAUGHT ABOUT THE FIRST RESURRECTION
Heretical Article No. 481: The first resurrection has three orders, or parts, to it… Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept… He ascended into heaven, and took all those others that had risen, with Him… That was order number one … When He resurrects the Church, the Church is the second order of the first resurrection
E.O.D.H. Answer: Elder Jackson is confused. He is mixing up two resurrections. A first resurrection for the Old testament saints {Matthew 27} and the first resurrection for the bride church of Jesus Christ. They are not the same, because the Old Testament saints are not a part of the bride, but subjects of the Kingdom of David.
Quote: 1045-233 "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." (Questions & Answers 64-0823E).
6) THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL
Heretical Article No. 482: In the middle of Daniel's 70th week, after the two prophets are dead, the 144,000 fulfill their calling by preaching the everlasting gospel to all nations, for 3 ½ years, in fulfillment of the three angels' messages of Revelation 14.
E.O.D.H. Answer:Jackson has his own doctrine on the bible. We believe the prophet. This is what he said.
Quote W.M.B.: E-41 "(Revelation 14:6 to 12), Watch. The first angel, at the reformation, Luther preached the Gospel. Second angel, Wesley, sanctification. The fornication, he straightened up of the church. But the third message, the Pentecostal message should be, the true messenger warning them to escape the mark of the beast, saying, "Whosoever receives the mark of the beast, the same will drink the wrath of God poured out without mixture into the cup of indignation, be poured out upon the people." (Mark of the Beast 61-0217).
7) THE AGE OF REGENERATION
Heretical Article No. 483: Matthew 19th chapter, this word regeneration used by Jesus, is applicable to an age of time, thousand year reign and age of regeneration…
E.O.D.H. Answer: This heresy is contrary to the scriptures and message of the prophet. Christ reigns for a thousand years as the son of David, not son of man. Jesus told his apostles that they were following him in the regeneration. The church is a chosen generation, by the new birth. {1 Peter 2:9}. The theology of Jackson and Gan is dumb like a theologian. (Matt:19:28)
Quote W.M.B.: 246 "There's got to be a regeneration, a new birth, a born again." (Mark of the Beast 54-0513).
Heretical Article No. 484: Matthew 24:27, This is not talking about the rapture. The rapture will have already taken place before this time. This is the visible coming, as we see it in Revelation 19.
E.O.D.H. Answer:The second coming of Jesus Christ is a visible coming. Elder Jackson is misplacing that scripture which applies to the second coming of the Lord. The third coming is to the Jews as the son of David; not son of man.
Heretical Article No. 485: As long as we are in this mortal flesh, we are not going to know that new name. Only when we get our changed bodies.
E.O.D.H. Answer:How contrary is this heresy to the teachings of the prophet, who said as follows?
Quote W.M.B.: 158-3 {283} "He received a new Name… Notice, the mystery. He's coming, riding... There's got to be something to change this Church, you know that… Notice. No man knowed but Himself." (The first seal 63-0318).
Heretical Article No. 486: The seventh seal pertains to Jesus leaving the mercy seat, which He will have to do before He comes visibly to earth.
E.O.D.H. Answer: The above is also a heresy. The seventh seal/seven thunders must be revealed before Christ leaves the mercy seat. It gives the bride rapturing faith and grace. To have such great grace, the blood must be upon the mercy seat, until the last elected is called and sealed by the Holy Ghost. {Seals page 158}
Heretical Article No. 487: The saints that will be slain in the great tribulation and all other righteous saints from any other era, who were not taken up in the rapture, will be resurrected to enter the Millennium also. This constitutes part of the first resurrection. Only the wicked will remain in the grave reserved for the final judgment at the second resurrection.
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is contrary to the word and message. There is no resurrection of saints in the tribulation period. The foolish virgins are resurrected after the thousand year reign. "Blessed is he that hath path in the first resurrection". {Rev 20}
Quote W.M.B.: 75-102 "Not just those who are good people, they certainly miss the first resurrection. The Bible said, "And the rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years were finished." Is that right? That's those who had their names written in the Lamb's Book of Life but refused the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Just the elect goes in that time. Just the elect takes the millennium."
Many of this apostle's heresies were not highlighted and refuted in this work, because of a lack of space, and may possibly be dealt with on our future publications. We will await Jackson's defense, if he has one against the truth.
All heresies exposed on E.O.D.H. Books 1-12 now totals 487, and are with pure motives and objectives that all who are wrong on doctrine may repent to the acknowledging of the truth. Amen!
