ELIJAH GIBBS' SEVENTH SEAL/SEVEN THUNDERS QUESTIONS FOR STRIFE AND
DEBATE
Heretical Articles Nos. 488 to 490
CHAPTER THREE
Pastor Elijah Gibbs of Connecticut U.S.A is one of several ministers
who ventured to answer my question, "What is the program of God, for the
revealing of the seventh seal/seven thunders", which is the foundational subject
on E.O.D.H Book 12. His answer was totally contrary to the word and
message of Malachi 4:5-6. Although I tried with love, desperation and respect to
convince him of his errors, he was determined to prove his erroneous program
right, and the prophet's program established by E.O.D.H. wrong {Seals
567-577}.
I warned him about his heretical beliefs and the possibility of them
appearing on E.O.D.H, with his name included. I asked him to endorse his
projections if he had written them by revelation. Each of his letters bore his
name. He did not voice any objection, but acted as an elite of the
message, ready to face the world with his private interpretations. He had no
problem with my challenge, until his last letters were written to me, with other
heretical projections.
Quote E.O.D.H. Book 12 page 24: "I trust that you will follow the spirit of
friendship and fellowship in correcting items that are contrary to the word and
message and the real program of God for the revealing of the seventh seal/seven
thunders, which will appear on my next book, E.O.D.H. Book 12, and at the
same time making my points strong enough to establish truth as others may be
reading this literature. You are free to express your objections for my
consideration. If you do not understand the light in which I speak concerning
the various subjects, that's quite alright. You are free to endorse your
thoughts which will accompany my objections in the light of the real program
of God which I have itemized. Such program will only be made public when I
launch E.O.D.H. book 12 under that title. Pray for me as I continue to answer
many letters of reply to my question, from around the world. Peace be unto you".
His heresies were exposed on E.O.D.H. book 12, and he was identified only as
Bro. Xxxxxx Xxxxx. This was done to save him embarrassment, being a poor deluded
pastor and one to be pitied. I treated him as a brother and friend ever
since we started our discourse on the seventh seal/seven thunders and other
related subjects. Although he had several lengthy correspondences which revealed
his true intentions, purpose, personality and immaturity as a Christian
minister, it is not my purpose to unchristianize this pastor and heretic
brother. However, I feel obligated to further respond to his
challenge and all who have rudely challenged E.O.D.H., that all message
believers and ministers would understand the integrity of E.O.D.H., be edified,
settled and anchored in the purity of the word and message of Malachi 4:5-6.
Also that, by extension, many more may denounce heretics and heresies, and be
delivered from the bondage of Satan, by private interpretations.
After book 12 was published, he sent me a second program, in answer
to my question on God's program, which contradicted his first answer. He
employed greater heresies, hoping to justify former heresies exposed in his
first projections by E.O.D.H. They were also exposed personally to him. He
continued to employ other heresies to justify all former heresies.
I warned him to repent or I will publish his new heresies and identify him
by name with his former heresies on book 12. He made some of the greatest
heresies, in an effort to stop me from publishing his heresies. I trust that
such exposition will edify many around the world, especially to the fact that
one error leads to another, also one heresy leads to another and finally
to apostasy.
Elijah acted as a fish out of water when informed that his name will
be identified with his heresies. He described it as a "public crucifixion" -
killing his influence - accusations - out of my jurisdiction to expose him -
that heresy means division - he is not causing division, thus he should not be
classified as a heretic - Jesus, the apostles or Brother Branham never called
names and preferred that I label his private interpretations as a "discourse",
not 'heresy' and him a 'heretic'."
I can compromise with his request only in saying that his
discourse was heretical. When a brother formulates heresies, that makes him a
heretic, and Paul said to admonish him once or twice. I have done this many
times for one year but Elijah rageth and is confident. I am obliged to employ
the advice of Apostle Paul.
"A man that is an heretick after the first and second
admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth,
being condemned of himself". {Titus 3:10-11}.
If this pastor is certain by revelation, that his doctrine is of the
Lord, it should make him happy to know that his projections are to be published
at no cost on his part. His crying, anger and other negative manifestations
prove that he stands in doubt. A servant of God who preaches a doctrine by
revelation of the word is not ashamed to be identified with it. E.O.D.H.
ministers are not. They have endorsed their doctrine at all cost and bear the
reproach for the Word. I will address his new program for any revelation from
God with subtle indications that it is also for the revelation of the 7th seal/7
thunders. I will prove that this is also heresy. Elijah is too proud to repent,
and is embarrassed to see his heresies published with his name, since he is
aware that he has misinterpreted the word and message. In defense, he labeled
his heresies: "Personal letters". They are not. They are his heretical
discourse, and are as follow:
ELIJAH GIBBS' HERESIES TO JUSTIFY HIS FORMER
HERESIES
Heretical Article No. 488: "To me the
program of God for revealing His mysteries has been consistent for the 1600
years it took to write the Bible. According to the Bible and the Message God's
program for interpreting or revealing His Word has always been through a two
step process:
First - God reveals His secret to His vindicated prophet who then speaks
it
Second - God personally reveals what the prophet said to His people on an
individual basis."
E.O.D.H. Answer: In your
desperate effort to do something about E.O.D.H., you have perverted the
plan of God, bringing the revelation straight from the prophet to the
individual, indicating that the 7 thunders revelation will come directly to the
bride. This is a heresy. The unknown language was not interpreted to W.M.B. It
held the revelation of the thunders. Your heresy establishes two steps. You
totally disregarded the 3rd step of the N.T., which is the five fold ministry,
that is ordained to perfect the bride; {Eph 4:11-15}. Romans 10:15 declares:
"…how can they hear without a preacher".
God sent Christ with a prophetic ministry; Christ sent his servants and
said, "…whosoever heareth you heareth me" {Luke 10:16}. You projected a
two fold process, when God has 3 folds.
In the light of the scriptures and messages of Brother Branham, your second
program is utter foolishness and damnable heresy.
Heretical Article No. 489: "I will now
address your projection that there was a seal assigned to each church age
messenger, thus Brother Branham the seventh church age messenger, received the
revelation of the 7th seal and it was his message."
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is a
damnable heresy. It has no scriptural basis or message foundation to prove its
heretical claim. You evaded my question and tried to detail the content of each
seal. Everybody knows that. That was not my question and you know that. This is
what the Prophet said.
THE REVELATION OF THE FIFTH SEAL
Quote W.M.B.: "Notice, there is no mention of another
beast or a living creature to this announcement of the Fifth Seal… Why?...
the mystery of the church ages are already finished at this time. The
mystery of the antichrist is revealed at this time. The antichrist took his
last ride… The Church absolutely is raptured at this time… these Seals here
are revealing what has been, what is, and what will be…" {The fifth seal pages
343-388}
THE REVELATION OF THE SIXTH SEAL
Quote W.M.B.: "This Sixth Seal is the tribulation
period… God is not dealing with the Church no more. It's been gone. He's
dealing with Israel… This is when Israel receives the message of the Kingdom
by the two prophets of Revelations 11… it's the time that God will call that
one hundred and forty-four thousand Jews in this last three and a half
years…
These great happenings to nature, has happened before, in this
12th verse here. See? The sun became as black as sackcloth of hair… Exodus
10:21-23… when nature happens like this, has been? God calling Israel.
(See?) God's calling out Israel…God was about to deliver Israel there, bring
them out of their enemy's hand, which was Egypt at that time. Now, here He
is bringing them out of the Roman hands, where they'd made their covenant.
Same thing happens. That's the plagues. The time that these plagues will Fall,
they'll plague this group of Gentiles…
Now, watch here these two prophets, look what they're
going to do now: just like Moses and them did down there… [Revelation 11:3-5]…
They can do nature anyway they want to. Here it is. They're the one who
brings on this Sixth Seal. They uncover and open it up. It's the power of
God to interrupt nature. See, the Sixth Seal, is completely an interruption of
nature. {The sixth seal pages 419-439}
7 SEALS NOT ASSIGNED TO 7 MESSENGERS
The 7 seals cannot be assigned to the 7 Church Ages messengers. The
Church Ages run out at the 4th seal. The 5th seal is the salvation of the
Jews, and pertains to Jewish time-Daniel's 70th week. The sixth seal is judgment
upon the Gentiles. Moses and Elias opened the sixth seal. The 7th seal is the
coming of the Lord, not the message of the forerunner W.M.B.
You know as well as I do, that if you apply a seal to each church age
messenger that the 5th seal will apply to Luther, who cursed the Jews and the
sixth seal will apply to Wesley, which places him in the tribulation and
judgment of God; also in the 70th week. Luther and Wesley have nothing to do
with the 5th and 6th seal. Moses and Elias are assigned to those seals. You
are speaking nonsense, Pastor Elijah! You have gotten your head into the
statements of W.M.B. Humble your heart, sir. Not even the mighty prophet
attempted to explain his own statements on that subject after the opening of the
seals. Therefore the quotations you supplied are misrepresented and perverted to
justify your heresy. The prophet W.M.B. said that the fifth and sixth seal are
after the rapture and have to do with Israel and the 2 prophets, Moses
and Elias.
Neither you nor any other heretic around the world can justify such a claim.
Your strongest point you now address as your weakest. When I asked you to relate
the seven seals to each church age messenger, you became nervous, fearful,
confused and used some delaying tactics. When I demanded an answer, you
responded in an angry manner because you understood what I was getting
at. You are trapped by your own projections and carnal interpretations.
It's a total impossibility for you or any other heretic to outline the seven
seals in relation to the seven church age messengers. Of this you are very
conscious and when you attempted to outline the seals with the messengers and
came to that point where it would trap you by your own heresy, you jumped it
over by using the words "etc and so on". Isn't that slimy, dishonest,
hypocritical and heretical? Such are the fruits of wrong motives and objectives
with many endeavors to destroy the truth upheld by E.O.D.H. books and Grace
Covenant Church in Ct. USA. I call you as a brother to repent and not
follow the course of your father and mother, who followed the heretic
"ride-out", to fight the truth. It did not profit them. Their sins found them
out.
I recognize every quotation of the message of the prophet which you
sent to me, but I totally disregard your misplacement, misinterpretation and
misquotation of them to make it say what the message and the messenger is not
saying. The prophet never explained those statements that he made and
never used them after the seals were opened. Where did you get such explanation
in his message? You fabricated, force-fitted and heretically squeezed those
quotations to make it fit your heresy. Why should I believe that? You are not
greater than the prophet and have no business trying to explain the statements
of the prophet without a revelation. You remind me of the heretic, Emil Fichter
who was exposed on E.O.D.H. book 12. I quote your next heresy.
Heretical Article : "1. The Seventh
Seal was Brother Branham's Message. 2. The Prophet himself stated that this Seal
was revealed to him."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Your statements
above are wrong; lies, and are fabricated from the quotations you supplied me.
Heretics around the world employ the same quotations to preach the same heresies
that you preach. This was thoroughly exposed on E.O.D.H book 9 in an elaborate
way, as heresy # 68-70. I need not put a heretical number to yours. You
or any other heretic can never ever prove by the message and the Word that the
seven angels of the seven seals, which flew from Heaven, are the angels of the
seven church ages. You are employing a heresy to justify a heresy.
Elijah quoted: "Now, the Angel [flying angel] was to my left, would
really be the last, or seventh Angel [flying angel], if we would count them from
left to right, because he was on my left, me looking to him towards the west,
him coming towards the east would be on the left side, so that would be the
last angel's [church age messenger's] message: very notable. You remember
how I said he had kind of his head back, and his great sharp wings, and how he
flew right to me [church age messenger]. Now, that is this Seventh Seal. It's
still is a notable thing. We don't know what it is as yet, because it's not
permitted to be broken. (The Seventh Seal 63-0324E 578:2 {407})."
"And did you notice that one Angel, I said in there, was a strange
Angel? He looked more to me than any of the rest of them. You remember that?
They were in a constellation--three on a side and one on top. And the one right
next to me here, counting from the left to the right, would've been the
seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to me than the rest of them. You
remember, I said he had his chest out like that, and was flying eastward. You
remember like that? And I said, "It picked me up, lifted me up." Do you remember
that? Here it is. The one with the Seventh Seal, the thing that I've wondered
all my life. Amen. Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of course, but, oh, you
don't know what this has meant…" (The Seventh Seal 63-0324E 560:4-561:1
{275-276})."
E.O.D.H.: From your main
quotations, the seventh angel that held the seventh seal is a flying
angel and not Revelation 10:7. He is a Heavenly being and is represented in
Revelation 10:1, because out of his mouth went forth the seventh seal/seven
thunders. It is antichrist to say that, that angel of the constellation of seven
angels of the seven seals was Revelation 10:7. Brother Branham, as it is clearly
recorded in the message, said it was Christ. The Word also bears record that it
was Christ, because he had the open book in his hand. To say that is Brother
Branham's ministry is to give him the place of Christ and that is an antichrist
doctrine. Examine your own quotations below. The truth that I have established
here has annulled all your quotations, which you supplied to prove your heresy
above. Where would you go from there? Are you humble enough to repent or would
you make another heresy and deny what you have projected? Here you have borrowed
quotations pertinent to the seventh flying angel and used them to elevate
Revelation 10:7, the earthly angel. Isn't that ignorant? Please do not follow
the heresies of great men. Look into the message and take what the prophet said!
You asked if I believe this or not? I say a big 'NO!' It's heresy, Antichrist
and of the devil! Do not try to persuade me with such nonsense. The 7
angels of the seals are not the 7 angels of the ages. Brother Branham did not
associate them. Heretics only assume that. Give me one scripture or
quotation for it. You cannot!
At this juncture, all that I can do is to admonish you to repent and
turn from such heresies. The more you try to fight E.O.D.H. is the further you
will get away from God. Your hidden intentions from the very beginning, by your
seven questions and your letter that followed, clearly indicated your purpose to
expose the exposition and belittle the ministry of Christ in CT., USA. It's a
total impossibility!
If you fail to repent, I reserve the right to add your previous questions,
(which you consider great and magnificent and have you up on a pinnacle as one
learnt in the message), to my publication, that you may be exposed as a
perverter of the message. I will also be forced to identify Brother
Xxxxxx etc. on E.O.D.H Book 12. I will rather identify you as a repentant
brother and pastor who was misled. Respond if you can challenge this exposition
of your heresies or if you want to repent publicly on E.O.D.H. books and
website.
May the Lord have mercy on you and your congregation, and bring deliverance
to such poor souls under your ministry, is my prayer. May the Lord bless you
with eye-salve. Your Servant for Christ Sake, Dalton Bruce.
Heretical Article No. 490: "Somehow you
totally misunderstood what I wrote. I don't believe that the Seven Heavenly
Angels are the seven church age messengers. I'm not sure why you say that Br.
Branham "did not associate them." I believe he did teach that each one of the
Seven Supernatural Angels had a connection with each of the earthly messengers.
The first flying Angel anointed Paul; the second one anointed Iranaeus; and so
on until the Seventh flying Angel anointed Br. Branham."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Pastor Elijah,
in a last desperate effort to prove that the seventh seal was Brother Branham's
message, tried to explain that heresy, in bracketing certain phrases on Brother
Branham's quotation, to prove that the earthly messenger received the commission
from that flying Angel for the 7th seal. Please note his error in the
highlighted portion of the above statement. The prophet is simply saying that
the 7th flying Angel holds the seventh seal, and it's not permitted to be
broken. Not like the heresy of Elijah is saying that it is the message of the
7th angel, Revelation 10:7.
These seven angels and their messages were different from the seven Church
Ages messages. Elijah, like other heretics, assumes that each of those angels
was anointing the seven messengers of the seven church ages. To make this heresy
appear to be right, they perverted other quotations of Brother Branham from the
church ages concerning the seven spirits of God. The prophet simply stated that
it was seven manifestations of the Spirit of God in the seven church ages, and
never linked such manifestations to the seven angels of the seven seals, but
always kept such separated from the angels of the seals.
Quote W.M.B.: 248-5 "…the seven Spirits of God
refer to the continuous ministry of the same Holy Spirit in the lives of seven
men with whom God identifies Himself very closely. They are His eyes, and they
are His lamps. Who these seven men are can easily be seen because the next
phrase calls them the seven stars which are already known to us as the
seven messengers to the seven ages" (Sardisean Church Age - Church Age
Book Cpt.7).
Quote: 77 "If you notice this, this is wrote here. The
writer knowed. Look, the "seven Spirits." Watch: capital "S," Holy
Spirit, only one of them. Uh-huh. The same Holy Spirit coming seven
times to all seven church ages bearing the same Light. Get it now? Seven
church ages, seven times this Holy Spirit would carry this same Message, which
was pronounced a curse to anyone who'd change It.
… He said, "Whosoever
shall take away or add to, the same will be taken (his part) out of the Book
of Life." That's the whole thing covered over then. So there's no room for you
to jump or squeeze any place else (See?), 'cause that's it. That's what God
said; that's what the Spirit said; and that's what the churches said. Now, if
you try to force in any other kind of a doctrine than what Paul taught, it's
wrong. The Bible is correct. His life... Jesus said, "I'll take his part out
of the Book of Life." (Sardisean Church Age 60-1209).
Several international heretics linked the 7 angels of the seals to the 7
Church Ages messengers. They believe as follows:
The angels of the 7 seals are the theophanies of the 7 church ages
messengers.
Each angel of the seals anointed a messenger of the church
ages.
A seal was the message of each Church Ages
messenger.
The 7th angel of the 7 seals anointed the 7th angel of the 7th Church Age;
Rev. 10:7.
The 7th seal was the message of the prophet of Malachi
4:5&6.
Based upon such beliefs they erroneously teach that the 7 Church Ages
messages are the 7 voices of the 7 thunders, since the 7 messages of the 7
church ages are 7 voices and represent 7 virtues. Thus the heresy invented by
Pastor Coleman: "7 virtues, 7 thunders". Many have denounced this heresy,
however, most message ministers believe the damnable heresy that the 7 angels of
the seals are the theophanies of the church ages messengers, thus they don't
believe that the 7 angels of the seals are literally the 7 earthly messengers of
the 7 church ages.
Quote Elijah: "Secondly, I am not interested in "secret
attacks" or "hidden agendas" against anyone, and especially E.O.D.H. books.
Write all the books you want. (Ecclesiastes. 12:12). All I've read of
your writings is a portion of book five and book 12."
The above statement discredits all the vicious attempts of Elijah to
fight against E.O.D.H. and the purity of the message that is documented in every
book. He simply never read E.O.D.H. books and is powerless to say what is wrong
or right about its contents. He does not know what he is talking about when he
tried to correct the exposition of heretics and heresies.
