Shall we remain standing. Almighty God, we are so happy to be gathered herethis morning on this great day. And Lord Jesus, Father, this day to many of us is a sadday just like about two thousand years ago when you in the days of your flesh; when theenemy had cut you down, and when you had gone, your disciples walked the earth. Andalso they had sorrow, and also they were sad, but Lord Jesus, the Resurrected Word ofGod, moved upon the earth and came and spoke to your disciples, and said, “Oh foolsand slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken.

Lord God, may the resurrection power move in our midst this morning and speakto our hearts that we might say today... that we might leave this place saying, “Didn’t ourhearts burn within us as you speak to us in the upper room.” Lord God, you’re the sameyesterday, today, and forever. We believe this. Thy Word, Oh Lord, is settled forever inHeaven. Thy Word shall not return void.

Father, this is a great hour. Though we have sorrow now, it shall be turned intojoy. For I believe, now Lord, that soon, even now, great is the Shout of the King in thecamp. Father, we know that Thy prophet is laying down in the ground there, and dearGod, we know that he will be in the resurrection. Praise God.

Now Lord, may the Holy Spirit come in now and move up and breathe on theWord to make your disciples hearts burn this morning. We pray Heavenly Father inJesus Christ’s name, Amen. You may be seated.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. I want to greet everyone thismorning in the name of the Lord Jesus. We have a little long message this morning,about an hour or so. I don’t know how long the Lord will lead us but, I believe that theHoly Spirit this morning would be leading this way, that we’re here for an understanding,for we come to God’s house to receive understanding of the Word of God.

We want to greet our dear Sister Ellen Clark this morning. She’s sitting righthere. I would like to ask her to stand up so that you may see her because I’m going toread something this morning. This is Sister Ellen Clark. God bless you. She camethrough here by, through Sister Ruth here, and she’s a seed of God, and she’s up inRochester now, and she has - now has fellowship with the Scott’s up there in Buffalo. Sothey have wonderful fellowship now.

So God has a way of putting his people together. So, but the reason she’s herethis morning, something that the Holy Spirit laid upon her heart, and that something wasthose words which God gave her, those words, they were used to comfort BrotherBranham’s family. So therefore we have it this morning and also we’d like to read it thismorning.

Now, before we go into the service, we have Brother Garcia here with us fromdown in Puerto Rico. And just this morning, some other eagles walked in here, BrotherCandellario in the back here, and also Brother Ortiz. So Brother Garcia, he’s askedBrother Hunte and myself, and also we are nothing, he’s asked us if we would lay handsupon him. So therefore, he’s a minister of God, but he’d just like someone in thismessage to sort of lay their hands upon him.

And so therefore, we being here a Church, and also sovereign in our own right,we’re going to it this morning. And we’re going to ask Brother Candellario, and alsoBrother Ortiz to also come forward and also Brother Kurt, as we would lay hands uponhim. Shall we turn to page 225 and sing our song this morning?

(Singing: - “Speak My Lord”)

Praise God. We believe that the great Eagle God has revealed His message toBrother Garcia, Brother Candellario here, and also Brother Ortiz. And there’s a great jobto do, for this message now must go out to the four corners of the earth. The message hasbeen delivered by the great servant of God. The message got home. And now it’s beenplanted in our hearts, and now the Holy Spirit must come to quicken that message andmake it live.

I believe that the Holy Spirit will quicken the message in his heart, his heart, andhis heart, and make that message live down in South America, Puerto Rico, anywhereGod will send them. Amen, Praise God. So therefore, we believe that this is the hour thescripture said, that the ministers will see eye to eye, through God the Holy Ghost. We seeeye to eye here for we believe the same Word of God. Any two walk together exceptthey be agreed. Amen. So therefore, Brother Garcia, he believes the message. ThereforeGod will send him. Brother Hunte and I, we’re not sending him, see, God is sending him.

God must give him the message. We’re merely laying hands upon him andpraying that God will pass on to him the apostolic greetings. We pray now, BrotherGarcia, this is Brother Raphael Garcia. So may you turn and also face the congregation.We here, the elders here - now you know, this is the Bride of Jesus Christ, and though wehave different assemblies, we’re still the same body. So therefore we have the samemind. So therefore we agree here that this is our precious brother here, and we believethat he has the message in his heart. So therefore, we are going to lay hands upon him toshow that we believe this. Therefore would you bow your heads as the elders here layhands upon him. Praise God. Would you bow your heads with us?

Almighty God, as we stand here this day Lord, on a day when Thy servant, Thygreat prophet, is laying down in Jeffersonville, Indiana, in a funeral parlor. Father, hisremains is laying there. We know, oh God, that his spirit is with Thee up in the place thatyou took him up to many years ago. Father, he’s now rejoicing. He’s with his wifeHope, his daughter, Lord Jesus. And now God, as our dear Brother Garcia stands hereLord. He says that “Thou art the Christ,” and Father, you say back to him, “He’s BrotherGarcia.”

And Father, he has this message in his heart. We pray today, dear God, as theelders here lay hands upon him, that the great Holy Spirit would move upon our brotherand quicken every Word, every Word in this message in his heart, Father, that he mightbe like Phillip, and give out the life-giving seed germ to the people that are dying ourthere Lord. The body of Jesus Christ is laying dead, for the body without the spirit isdead.

Father, may the great Holy Spirit quicken him, Lord, that he might give out Spiritto the body of Jesus Christ. Father, we lay hands upon him. May you send him into theuttermost parts of the earth to preach the Gospel. For this Gospel shall be preached for awitness to all the ends of the earth. It has not - this has not been so. For this Gospel hasgone out in word and book form; it has not gone out in power to the ends of the earth.Dear God, may he be one of the servants, one of the eagles, that you’ll send forth with thepower of the message that your prophet has brought home in our hearts. Father we prayin Jesus Christ’s name, may you send him. Amen. Praise God.

(Singing: - “Speak My Lord”)

Amen. Praise God. Halleluiah. Praise God. Praise God. Glory to God. Wellwe thank God to know that there’s one thing that we know, that this message will nevergo into a denomination. This is the end. Can’t go no further. It’s finished with. Itcannot be denominated. For it’s eagle time. It is eagle time. So Brother Garcia, mayGod bless you, and send you forth in His power. Brother Hunte and I, we just want tohelp all we can, and we just join with all our brothers across the world.

And I believe as the scriptures will show us today, that though many people, theydon’t believe what is taking place right here this morning in the Bride, it’s gonna be thatway, see, whether they believe it or not. So therefore, it’s strange that on this day thatthis should take place. Now I want to announce, that, the funeral arrangement for BrotherBranham.

Wednesday, there’ll be no service because God’s prophet, Brother Branham,they’re going to hold a funeral service for him, we’re not quite sure whether it’sWednesday or Thursday. But I was told that it was supposed to be Thursday, but it’s stilltentative. So therefore, perhaps here, there’ll be some who, you’ll want to go down there.So please feel free to go. If you have the means, well then you go, see. So now this is,far as I understand, the funeral arrangement. Brother Pearry called and told me thatBrother Billy Paul and his family, that they’re leaving Tuesday, far as I know. This wasas of yesterday morning. And they’re leaving Tuesday.

And also a brother called me last night, Brother Ben Briant, and told me that thebody came in last night at 9:30, and he was out there to meet that body, Brother BenBriant, and they took it to the funeral parlor, and there he’s resting now. And so then,he’s... they don’t know any more. So then Billy Paul, he told Pearry Green that, don’t letanyone see the body until he comes there. So therefore, the body, as far as we know, itcannot lie in state until Billy Paul gets there. That would be Tuesday perhaps, maybesooner, I don’t know.

So then now I understand that his body is to lay there Tuesday, Wednesday,Thursday, maybe Friday, I don’t know. And also, they want to give time for people tocome from all over the world to see his body laying there. Now I understand that theTabernacle’s small, and that they’re going to have a private family service, and guestsonly of the family. But the people, they’ll be allowed to file through and just look at theremains of the body. That’s the way I understand it. Now this could change. But as faras I know, Thursday is supposed to be the day, we don’t know whether it’s in themorning, whether it’s at night or nothing, but we haven’t heard because they don’t knowthemselves yet.

So as soon as we hear, well, then those of you if you want to go, you can call uslater on, and perhaps if we get the message then we can tell you. So, but we don’t knowas yet. And we may find out this afternoon. If so, it will be announced tonight. Now,does everybody understand that? Thursday, tentatively Thursday. And the body will liein state for about three of four days far as we know.

Now, Brother Green told me that he’s going - that he plans to have a memorialservice out in Tucson, that is, if Sister Meda allows the body to be buried out in the West.But seems like Billy Paul and them, they didn’t want to be buried in the West, but SisterBranham maybe, cause Brother Branham said that he wanted to be buried in the East. So

4

therefore, I don’t know. So, if the body is to be buried in the West, Brother Greene, he’llhave a memorial service sometime in January. And there, he’ll allow all the brothers tospeak, and also say a few words over, you know...

And then, that would be in January. That is, if the body goes out there to beburied. So then, that would be the next service, and that is on condition. So that’s as faras we know what is going on down in Indiana. Does everyone understand now? Amen.

Now, we’re here this morning - we’re here this morning. It’s a sad day in oneway, but nevertheless, God’s servant, he has brought us a promise. So, for us tounderstand the very thing that he was to bring us is here now, we’re right at the door, forthe rapture of the Bride of Jesus Christ. So therefore, though it’s a sad day, it’s also ajoyful day, for we have waited. They have all waited in the graves for this day. They’renow waiting for this to happen now. This is the day that Paul and also all of them wantedto be living in this hour.

And we are privileged above all people to be living in this hour, to see theComing of the Lord, His Secret Coming, actually. So now, just for about, this morning, Imay be a little lengthy. I don’t exactly know what to say ‘cause I’m tired, and we’vebeen up all week and no sleep, and the phone’s been ringing just about 24 hours a day, soto speak. And we just had time to jot down a few notes, so you pray for me that the HolySpirit would say what He wants said this morning. For I don’t know whether there’sanywhere else around in the message this morning that the message is going forth. Idon’t know, but I know one thing, that most of them are right now down in Indiana.

So, God always has a witness upon the earth. So, Brother Hunte and I, we’regonna stand at the post and preach the Word. And then Thursday, we shall be there, Godwilling. So now, I just want to back over his death, and say a few things. Now from lastSunday morning, there were conflicting reports. So actually I heard that BrotherBranham never changed since last Sunday, but they just said that, not that they just saidthat, because that’s the kind of report that was given them, see?

So therefore, nobody actually knew what was taking place, really, but he waslaying there. I believe that he was with the Lord. So, that’s neither here nor therethough. But now, last Sunday morning, Brother Pearry Green, when he was flying intoTexas, like I said Wednesday, I believe it was. He saw the moon in the East, and also themoon was dark, right at the small part of the moon, I say about a eighth of it, it was bloodon the moon. Four other brothers saw this also. That was a sign.

Then Wednesday when he was failing, and we announced it here Wednesdaynight, but actually he was dying then. And therefore the doctors said to let the brothersgo in, and they all got together about 25 or 30 of them, out in the waiting room, and alsoall of them prayed and they asked for a sign. At that time it was kind of cloudy there andthe sun come out bright as an amber color, and gave them a sign. That was Wednesday,right after they prayed.

Now Sunday - Friday evening at 5:49, I understand that the evening star came outbrighter that has ever been before. It shined brighter than it’s ever been upon the face ofthe earth. And I’m told now, that you just have to receive it, this is what somebody toldme. So therefore, whether who said it, it doesn’t matter, but I was told this. I was toldthat through the moon Friday night, the moon was setting in the West, see. Last Sundaywhen Brother Green went out there, it was in the East. Then the moon rode a trail acrossthe sky for six days. And it set in the West out near Sunset Mountain.

5

It rode a trail, there was a light right through the moon, right through the eveningstar, rather. And the evening star, brighter than what it’s ever been before, there was alight through it on either side, it rode a trail from the East clean out through the West.Let God reveal it to your heart what it means. The evening star rode a trail across theskies. It’s amazing when, and we in our natural minds try to figure out something, isn’tit? So, a sinner remarked that, “My, isn’t that evening star bright tonight?” It wasbrighter, it was shining brighter in his death.

When he passed away, it shined brighter than it was ever shined before. So nowwe see that, so it was said like I said, that a trail went across the sky from East to West.As lightning cometh out of the West or out of the East.

Now, Sister Ellen Clark, she’s here in this assembly, and she sent down to SisterRuth some inspired words, and I don’t believe she really knows how inspired these wordsare. So therefore I’m going to read it to you. Because a brother called me last night andtold me, he says, “Who wrote that poem up there in New York?” So therefore I told himwho it was. He says, “Everybody knows about it, and they’re making copies of it.”Amen. Praise God.

So therefore, Brother Green told me that out of everything that was said, thispoem really lifted up William Branham’s family. This poem here. It lifted them all upand gave them faith, so therefore, I’d like to read it. Now, this brother also told me lastnight that there’s enough in this poem for him to preach until the Lord comes. Amen. Sowe know it come right from God. And some of you sisters want to know, “What can Ido?” Stay still. She’s by herself. Amen? She’s all alone in Rochester; a seed of God.Therefore, she wasn’t trying to preach. God spoke to her heart and she wrote.

So therefore, you sit still awhile, God, He’ll speak to you also. Housewives andso forth, and you won’t have to preach, He’ll tell you what to do. Amen. Praise theLord. So this is the poem. It’s entitled,

“The Hush”And when He had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silencein Heaven about the space of a half an hour. Revelation 8:1.What is this breath of silence, this hush of expectation?A groan, a tear, a whisper, a prayer? It is the closing scene of a great drama.The time when spectators wait, open mouth, gazing at the stage, for the play hasreached its climax. It is the time the fingers of the entranced reader turn to the lastpage of his novel to find at last the key to the intriguing mystery.It is the hush before the dawn, the stillness before the flower opens, and birdsbegin their song. It is the breathless waiting of the eagle soaring high in the airwith his eye on a serpent coiled on a rock ready to strike.

This was Wednesday, see, and the serpent struck Friday. But the eagle wassoaring high in the air. Amen.

It is the hush before the wedding march begins. As the brideprepared waits at the door.

Either your heart has been turned back, or it hasn’t. So when Christ comes: hethat is filthy, be filthy. Either Elijah has turned your heart back or he has not, he’s failed.

6

As a bride prepared waits at the door, and the eyes of the bridegroom turn to lookat her. It is the last groan, the last tear, the last whispered prayer of the expectantmother, [notice, sorrow] who gives at last all strength she has and brings forthlife. [joy]I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, which is, which was, andwhich is to come, the Almighty.”

That was written by this sister right here. Inspired of the Holy Ghost. So wewant to know, what can we do for the Lord? Sit still. God will tell you. Amen. Praisethe Lord. So we thank God for that, that God allowed it.

Brother Hunte, he called Brother Pearry. We felt led to get this down to BrotherBranham, that somebody may read it to him, and Brother Hunte, he got Pearry on thephone, and also he wrote it down word for word, and read it to him and also everybodywaiting down in the waiting room down there. And now, Brother Ben Briant told me thatthey want to make up copies, and they want to pass it around.

But, she has the rights to it, but actually it’s the Holy Spirit’s. So I guess it’salright. Amen? Praise the Lord. So, therefore, that was “The Hush.” So it really liftedup the family, and...oh yes, Brother Green said that it may be read at the funeral service,so I don’t know yet.

And now notice, something very strange about Texas, isn’t it? The Pillar of Firefirst appeared in Texas, 1950, I believe it was. Life appeared in Texas. PresidentKennedy was killed in Texas. Is that right? Brother Branham was...there was a blackout,first in New York, then in Texas, and God’s prophet was blacked out in Texas. Therewas death and life in Texas.

And now, strange now that Johnson is in Texas, President Johnson. And also oneto really come forward and also help to our Brother Branham’s family, Pearry Greenfrom down Texas. So we don’t understand, it’s all spiritual, actually what this means.So, but God’s prophet was blacked out in Texas. New York also had a blackout. We allknow what that means.

So all we know is that what these things are on. Now we understand also thatSister Meda, last week in the room, this week I think, last week, that she saw BrotherBranham, and he stood by the bedside there. It was a vision, and he told her that: “I haveto go away for a little while, I have to go away, but I will be back in a little while, at thelast trump.” This is what I heard, see.

A sister had a dream of Brother Branham saying these very words, that he wouldbe back in the resurrection at the last trump. The dead in Christ shall rise first. Shallwalk the earth for a witness up on the earth. Brother, he’s living, he’s not dead. But,what he wants this morning, I believe, that some eagles would stand up and preach themessage that he has delivered. Amen.

So, this is the time to look up, for your redemption draweth nigh. Amen. So,what does all this mean? I do not know. But, I’ve been commissioned by...to stand uphere and feed the flock, just like Brother Hunte. That’s what we’re trying to do. I cannotfeed you, He must feed you.

7

So let therefore, I can’t feed you. Let us turn to the Word of God. Let’s bow ourheads. Almighty God, we pray that the Holy Spirit, the Dove of God, would come downin here, Father, in this sweet anointing in here today, letting your people know that you’reamong us. Breathe upon your Word, make it live in their hearts. For they have heard themessage, dear God, now make this message live in their hearts. Encourage them, andmay they go out of these doors, saying, “Didn’t our hearts burn as you came and spake tous by the wayside.” We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Let us turn to Isaiah 12. Do we all understand now what happened down inTexas? And what is going on now? If there’s anything else, God has to reveal it to yourheart. It’s good now you know that a lot of, “Well what did he say, and who said that,”see, that should cease now, you know?

Just receive the report, believe it and go on, see. It shouldn’t matter, did JohnJones say that, or did John Jackson say it? It shouldn’t make any difference. What timedid he say it? Was it underlined? See what I mean now? Somebody asked me thatquestion. Somebody called me and gave me the scriptures that was given to me, and theywant to know, was that underlined by Brother Branham. I don’t know. I’m telling younow, what people want to know, see.

“Blessed is he that believeth without seeing,” saith the scriptures; saith JesusChrist in His resurrection ministry to His disciples. Thomas didn’t believe. He believedafter, see. So you’re blessed if you sit here, and you believe the Word of God. Amen.God said so.

Isaiah 12:And in that day thou shalt say O Lord, I will praise thee, though thow wastangry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LordJEHOVAH is my strength and my song; and he also is... [present tense]...become my salvation.Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.And in that day... [this day] ...shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name,declare his doings among the people... [in other words, manifest it by thequickening power] ...make mention that his name is exalted.Sing unto the Lord, for he hath done excellent things; this is known in all theearth. [for the trail was written across the sky]Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israelin the midst of thee.I Thessalonians, the 4th chapter; the 13th verse:But I would not have you to be ignorant brethren, concerning them which areasleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleepin Jesus will God bring with him.For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord... [which we’re saying here thismorning] ...that we which are alive and remain until the coming of the Lordshall not prevent them which are asleep.For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice ofthe archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall risefirst:

8

Then we which are alive and remain... [now, notice now; we which are alive,dead in sins and trespasses. Only the quickening power makes you alive. Amen.We which are quickened, let us say and remain] ...shall be caught up togetherwith them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be withthe Lord.Wherefore comfort one another with these words.That’s what I’m doing this morning. By the grace of God, you are to be

comforted with these words, that you sorrow not even as they in the world sorrow, for thejoy of your salvation. You’re gonna drink the waters from the wells of salvation, whichis the Word of God. Do you believe that? That’s going on now.

So, now, I’d like to title this, “The Shout Of The King.” There’s going to be ashout, and we want to...and we notice here that three things are here, that is said here.That there’s a shout, that there’s a voice of the archangel, and there’s a trump of God.

So, by God’s grace, this is to be explained this morning, not by me, but by...it wasexplained by God’s prophet, when he preached the last message, The Rapture Of TheBride. God loves you so much that He allowed this revelation to come to us this week.So therefore, we have it this morning, and want to give it out to you. Amen. Comfortyou with these words, it’s the word of God’s prophet, his message; it’s got to live in yourheart.

Now we know that it’s a sad occasion, like we say, God’s prophet, BrotherBranham, he’s laying...his remains rather, is laying down there in that funeral parlor.And I myself, I stand here through his ministry. I met the Lord before I heard about him,but now I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am in the Bride, because I received theWord of God, which he preached. And we know that we have this promise. We have thepromise. For it was promised that before the dreadful and terrible day of the Lord, I willsend you Elijah, and he will turn your hearts back to the apostolic fathers.

He will come and reveal all the scriptures: seed of the serpent, Catholic Church,and all these things. Tell you who is the white horse rider, the red horse rider; he’ll tellyou these things, see. Then when you hear these things, your hearts will be turned backto the apostolic fathers, waiting for the same promise that they had. I’ll send my Spiritupon you. In that day you shall know. You’re waiting for the same thing right now.

Either your hearts have already been turned back, or they haven’t. Either Elias isalready come and brought the truth, the message to you, see. Or either he would have tobe resurrected and start all over again. But I don’t know, the scripture doesn’t say that.Though there are many this morning down in Indiana looking for Brother Branham to beresurrected. They have gathered there from all over, and they’re there, and though wewere told that nobody can see the body this morning, but they’re there.

So, I say, if it’s God’s will for His prophet to be resurrected then let God’s will bedone. That’s what I say. But if I have a charge, I have a charge, and have to stay thereand preach the Word, in season, out of season. So now, we find then that we have thispromise. We are to comfort one another with this promise, that He will return. He saidHe had to go away to prepare a place for us. If it were not so, I would not have told youso. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

So He said in the same chapter, if you believe this, then arise and let us go henceto meet the Bridegroom. Is that right? That’s the scriptures, see.

9

So we find then, that the Word of God is settled forever, before the foundation ofthe world. It’s not going to change today. In other words, if God did not ordain for hisprophet, this morning, to rise, I don’t care if five hundred million people are down there,it won’t change God’s will. Thy word, O Lord, is settled forever in heaven. It’s alreadysettled. But He brings it forth in each age. And then the people are blind. This is theEagle age. The age when the eagles will pick it up, by the revelation of God.

What is faith? Faith is the revelation of God’s will. Then God must reveal Hiswill; what we are to do.

Now we find then, that, three things I said here; like I said, the Lord Himself,personal, He’ll descend. But notice, His body stays in the air. His own corporal bodystays in the air. But His anointing; but His great Power, comes up on the earth, with,together with a shout. It comes together with a shout. We want to find out what is theshout, see, and then you know what is going to happen.

So we find then, that, God in this evil age, in 1933, when His prophet who wasborn a prophet, he didn’t become a prophet in 1963. He was born a prophet. But they’rejust now trying to figure out, is he the prophet; is he the Elias which was to come? Hewas born a prophet. He was a prophet in God’s mind before the foundation of the world,see. So therefore, he was baptizing the seventeenth person down on the banks of theOhio, and there with about five thousand people standing around there, the Pillar of Fireswung down. The Lord Himself come down in the form of a Pillar of Fire and boomedout, now listen.

Now, I’m going to quote God’s prophet because right now Brother Hunte and I,we have come against many things in the past...this week. There are people now comingtrying to say, hold you to every word. I’m quoting the Word and also I’m quoting God’sprophet’s Word. I ain’t saying anything. So Brother Coleman did not say it, see. TheWord says it, and I believe the Word.

They’re trying...see...there are those who don’t know what to say, they don’tknow what to preach, and very quickly they will start a denomination, see. Other words,what are we all gonna do? I don’t know what you’re gonna do. I’m gonna do what Hetells me to do. I’m gonna say what He tells me to say. Whatever God tells you to say,say it! And whatever He tells me, I’ll say that. See what I mean now? And I’ll say it infaith, for I believe it. For He’s called me to preach this. Amen. If I didn’t believe it, Iwouldn’t...I’d be sitting down there.

So we find then that in 1933, the Evening Time Light Message started in 1933. Itdidn’t just start, it started there, it was the Word. His prophet started and he was bringingthe Word. So those that received the Word from him, that was the seed of God. AndHe’ll raise them up in the resurrection. He’ll see all of his friends, and there’s thousandsof them. Millions screamed, “O Brother Branham, that was the Word.” The Word bornBride of Jesus Christ, since 1933 when he began to go out. That was the Word. Hepreached the Word, in season, out of season.

And nobody believed in what he was saying, just like now, you see. You can’t sitdown and say this and that. You can only see eye to eye by the eagle anointing. That’sall. You can only see eye to eye by the Holy Spirit. Other words, if...when BrotherBranham, when he was preaching, the only way that, and if we were up here in NewYork preaching, we would have to say what he said by the Holy Ghost. That’s how youknow, see, if you’re saying the same thing.

10

You can’t wait to get the tape and then play it eleven times, and then...then it’sdead then, you see. But if you’ve been called, you’ll say what he’s saying. It will be onthe tape. It’s in the Word, see. If you preach the Word. So then the voice boomed out,this is the message now, which is coming this morning. This is part of the message. “AsJohn the Baptist forerun my first coming, so shall your message forerun my secondcoming.”

And you know that we are trying to drive that home to you. So, as John theBaptist in his natural flesh, stood before me, so shall your written message stand beforeme when I come with a shout. But I will quicken your written message in many hearts.And then they’ll know that the King has come with a shout. It’s in their midst. Andthey’ll have something to cry about. They’ll speak, “Thou art the Christ,” for they knowin that day. For now we know in part, we prophesy in part, but when the great eagleanointing comes, you’ll know as even He knows you. You’ll know Him. For He will bein you, the fullness of God in you.

So we find then, where is this promise found like that? Malachi 4: 5 and 6;Revelation 10: 7; St. Luke: 17: 30. It’s found right there in three places. So, other words,it says there in Revelation 10: 7. Your message will wind up all the loose ends from thespirit of man age. Because man tries to figure it out, he doesn’t really understand it.Even in this age right now. If a man has the Holy Ghost, he’s anointed with the HolyGhost, but he has to study and get everything together, see. And then he go preach amessage, and also he’s anointed, see.

But when that great inspiration eagle comes, he’ll just stand there, for the Word’sin him. It’ll anoint that Word, and out it comes, you see. So therefore, that’s spiritualrevelation on the Word of God. So therefore, your message will wind up the loose ends,and introduce the Messiah. So we know that God’s prophet in 1963, the Lord Himselfcame down in the days of the Voice. Is that right? The Voice came together with aprophet sign in 1963, see, and spoke out the revelation of Jesus Christ. That could onlybe the Son of Man revealing Himself. That’s all it could be. For the Son of Man hadrevealed Himself down through the ages.

He revealed Himself in the Bride on the Day of Pentecost. He revealed Himselfin Paul, Ireaneus, St. Martin, and so forth, but in different forms. Not always the sameway, see, in different forms. So therefore, we find then that John wound up the OldTestament. Took all the loose ends, for they didn’t quite know what was going on, whowas the Word, for they had traditions and commandments of men. They had Phariseesand Sadducees and their “sees.” But John, the great prophet moved on the scene and tiedthem all up together. And then he preached the Word: “The Messiah is at hand.” Hepreached the Word.

So then we found that that same spirit, see, and John called out an elected group.And then the Word, Himself, came on and took that group onward, the Word did. Andthat Word begin to lay in that presence there - is that right - of the Son of Man - revealedHimself to His disciples. So notice now, Son of Man always comes before Son of God.Son of Man is prophet. Amen. Son of Man, Christ, brought the message for His hour.Then He had the seed germ of life in him, for He was the living Word of that age. Is thatright? For the anointing came down, a sign, a dove upon His shoulder there, is that right?

And then He was anointed with life in His body. And He gave out His writtenWord, but it was quickened into His disciples’ hearts. Then the seed lay in their hearts.

11

They didn’t understand it, see. They didn’t understand that. They didn’t understand ituntil He came in a resurrection ministry, like we’re waiting for, to open theirunderstanding to the scriptures. But they laid there.

So we find then, that, that Son of Man, God Prophet, introduced the Holy Ghostage. Then the Son of God poured out Himself over those seeds of God in the UpperRoom. That started the great Holy Ghost age. For He gave a promise. He said that inthe end time, as it was in the days of Lot and Noah, I will again reveal myself, see,through a body, a man. Amen. And that will be the Son of Man revealing Himself again.For He must come first before the Lord Himself descends with a shout. The Son of Manmust come with a promise for this age, and call out seeds from all Pharisees andSadducees. Is that right? Baptist and Methodist and so forth, call them on out of there,see. And then they follow that Son of Man, man prophet, not God Prophet, see, manprophet, see, Son of Man.

For Ezekiel was called son of man also. Then he was to take them right up to therapture, take them right there, and preach the rapture to them and reveal it to them. Then,we don’t know, perhaps he was supposed to leave the scene. Some believe it and somedon’t. ‘Cause some are waiting for him to come back for them, see. But according toyour faith, be it unto you. See what I mean now. But I’m going to say what the scripturesays. No matter what the people believe. Some were looking for a great tent ministry,and I was told about that, that you can’t really tell what a prophet, for a prophet speaks inparables. Jesus did.

Why wouldn’t Jesus explain it to them? That was God Himself. Amen. See. Ofools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have said. So then, the prophetsaid many things. He purposely says these things, ‘cause that’s God’s will. He’s got tosay...do what his Father tell him. So he had a series of visions with a tent and so forth,but nobody can say whether it was a symbol, or what did it mean. For he spoke theWord. He spoke the Word right here in this congregation, right in the back there, onSister Lawson’s jaw. She had no jawbone, had to come out. He prayed over the phonewith me on the phone and he prayed, not me, other words, he spoke the Word, not me,see. Word, it’s been going on. Amen.

See, I mean when God does these things, and he put it on telephone; that’s whythe telephone ministry came this year. So he would announce on the telephone all acrossthe country that the people might know that there’s a Bride following him every twohundred miles. He got the message home somewhere. He got it home every two hundredmiles somewhere, ‘cause right down in Puerto Rico here, down in South America, over inEurope, the message went out. Spoke the Word and went on sowing.

He said on this, ‘Wings Of A White Dove’, “If I could tell you the miracles andthe signs that was done in the past three years, you wouldn’t believe it.” See. Buthowever, Jesus did His things, and very very few people saw it, very very few saw whatHe did, see. So we just don’t understand these things. So therefore it pays to believe thescriptures. Don’t look for some great thing like this here, ‘cause we were fooled oncebefore in ’63. Praise the Lord.

Some sisters, they wanted to see angels with trumpets up in the sky andeverything. But see, it’s the Word coming forth. So we find then that son of man,prophet, God Prophet, called out seeds of God from Pharisees and Sadducees, and soforth. Elected, predestinated seeds of God for that hour. They were the seed of the hour,

12

and he called them out. They had to come. Something inside made them...he said,“Follow me.” They didn’t say, “Well, was it underlined.” You follow me now? Theydidn’t ask no questions. They followed him. “What tape was that on? He didn’t meanthat, he said this over here.” He said, “Say what I said.” That’s what he said. Is thatright?

Don’t change what I said, ‘cause you have not been ordained to change it, onlythe eagles are. They understand it, and they’ll preach it; they’ll feed the flock, see, theeagles will. So we find then that the son of man then was to bring a message. What is amessage? A message is the thoughts in God’s mind for that age. And then that message,when it comes out, it’s the Word for the age. Then message Word came by Christ, son ofman, He revealed Himself. How? With a sign. Is that right? Pillar of Fire. He toldNathaniel and them, “Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.” Whencethou knowest me, Rabbi? “I saw you, I saw you.” You see.

So we saw another son of man come and do the same thing, thousands of times.Still they don’t believe it, but he did it. Amen. So then we find then that that son of manhad a message, the Word, not to be spoken to individually, see, but to believe all that theprophets have said, the scriptures. Believe the scriptures. Then, that was the message,that message was the Word of God. That was THE Word. THE Word of God. That wasGod Himself. Then we find then, that Christ was God’s seed message. Now notice thisnow, listen to what I’m saying very carefully now.

Christ, the Word, was God’s seed message. But that seed message did not live intheir hearts yet - it was there - until it was quickened by the Holy Ghost on the Day ofPentecost. Are you beginning to understand that now? But that message was in theirhearts, for they was restored. They was restored from the fathers to little children. Is thatright? He went to all the old traditions and got out some children, and they was restored.John did that. Amen. Then John said, “I must decrease, as He increases.”

But he had to preach ‘marriage and divorce,’ before he left the scene. Amen. It’sin the scriptures. So then we find then that Christ was God’s seed message. But it didnot live in hearts until it was quickened by the Spirit. Then we find, what did the Spiritdo? The Holy Spirit did the following: The Holy Spirit in Jesus’ day called out the seedsof God from different denominations, is that right? Called them out. Then it preached tosouls in prison. Then signs followed the message Word; Jesus, the Word had signsfollowing Him. Just like today, see.

Raise... the same Spirit raised Christ from the dead. See. If it be in you, it shallalso quicken your mortal bodies in the resurrection also. Made Christ live for forty days.Forty is the judgment. Are we going into the judgment? Huh? Then, it came when theydied out. It came on them for power for service. Amen. The Spirit of God did. SameSpirit that was upon Christ. That same anointing. He was the original Corn of Wheat.He abided alone as long as He walked the earth Himself. That would be the only fruit.

But first fruits go back to God, for it’s a law in Leviticus: 23. Goes back to God.It must be offered back to God. Then the first mature corn of wheat must be cut down,bruised, battered, and be offered back to God, that the Holy Spirit might come back uponthe seeds of God that were called out of all denominations, that are waiting on a promise;for the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, the voice of the archangel.It’s eagle time. What are you looking down for? Look up. Rise and let us go hence.Look up.

13

We were promised a message for today. Did we receive the message? Did it goforth in 1933? Was it vindicated before the whole world in 1963 when the Pillar of Fire,the Lord, the Voice of the Seventh Angel, when the...when each angel came down in theroom there and the Pillar of Fire and spoke out, “The white horse rider is the pope.”Follow me now? You see what I mean now?

Then the prophet preached ‘The Unveiling Of The Mighty God.’ God...beforeyou reach the Promise Land, God comes down and reveals Himself in human flesh. Hedid it with Moses, amen, as a sign that we’re on our way to restored faith. We’re going tothe Promise Land. Did it with Abraham also. I’m going to prove that.

So then, what has transpired today? Called...therefore the Word Message hascalled out seeds by the Word. How did it do it? The son of man revealed himself today.Is that right? Stood right there and called out the secrets of the hearts. But a prophetwhen he’s doing it always speaks hence. For he says, he will come and do it, while he’sdoing it. See what I mean now? Then it goes over top of their heads. They miss it then.They say what, where, where, where? He just did it. Because he called out BrotherHunte, said, “Your name is Mr. Hunte, and your praying for your sister, she has asthma.”And he said, I’m his friend. He called me his...the Holy Ghost called me his friend. Sotherefore, can’t anybody get in between us with different tales and things. Don’t try it.For God called us friends, in the Tabernacle.

He said, “That’s Mr. Coleman, your friend. And his father had a stroke. That’s“‘Thus saith the Lord.’” Then I couldn’t hold it back. I had to let it go. It’s on the tapethere. Praise God. I had to shout, for it was revealed to me who he was. Amen.

So then we know, we see then that this promise Word, Malachi 4, had life to it. Itwas anointed, and that’s what made us turn. The life in him, see, made you turn to thatWord. If you could be sitting anywhere and hear a tape, and hear the prophet on a tape,you say, “That sounds real, that’s different.” Amen. That’s LIFE speaking to you.That’s God revealed in human flesh speaking to you. That’s why.

God Himself speaking out of human flesh revealing it to your heart. He said, “I’llturn your heart back.” Before that, your heart was in some old dead Pentecostal churchsomewhere. Amen. But He said, “I’ll come and restore your heart back to the WordMessage.” Did He do it? Are you sitting here? Amen. He must of done it. Amen.

You don’t know how close the rapture is. So then we find then that the seed germin the prophet was imparted to us by the written Word, is that right, for the hour. And wereceived it. But we just can’t get that power. Amen. We want to pray in the spirit. Wewant to preach with power. But you want to...you can’t do it, can you? See what I meannow? You’re waiting to be quickened. It must be quickened first. Amen. All thescriptures must be fulfilled first, you see.

A corn of wheat must be cut down by the Lord, bruised and so forth, and offeredback up to God on the wings of a snow white dove. Don’t miss that. So therefore, wefind that afterwards, when the message come, Malachi 4, then the message must live tobe quickened. For the body is dead right now. Is that right? This body’s dead. Thebody of Christ is dead. The body without the Spirit is dead. The Spirit hasn’t come yet,‘cause it’s just laying there, a sleeping giant. Now the scriptures says that it’s layingthere, sleeping. That’s right.

So we find then that the dead body, the Spirit of God make it live. But God has alaw. For in St. John 16, He told them that...used a parable, used a natural woman. That

14

when she is in travail, that she must have sorrow first, see. She had her sorrow when Hedied, the Corn of Wheat died, she had her sorrow. But He rose from the dead the thirdday. Is that right?

Then she had joy. For at the end of the third day. The third day started in theend-time in 1906. Is that right? He was the same yesterday, today, and forever. He toldthose...He told Mary and them, Martha and them there. “Go tell my brethren.” Is thatright? Well, He appeared in Azusa Street in 1906. “Go tell my brother that I live. I speakin tongues. I also heal the sick, see dreams and visions.” It came forth in 1906. Is thatright? “But just go tell them that I’m the same yesterday, today, and forever.” That wasthe message. That’s all they had. See what I mean now?

But in the evening time, at the end of the third day, He walked through the walls.That’s this time now. Amen. It’s in this hour now; great power is gonna be loose uponthe earth. Resurrection, see. Right through the walls. He just told them, “Touch me not,you can’t handle me now. But you go tell them that I’m the same yesterday, today, andforever.” But at the end of the third day, the eagles can handle the Word. “Touch me,handle me, feel me.” Amen. At the end of the third day. St. John: 20, I believe it is.

Whatsoever you bind shall be bound in Heaven. Whatsoever you loose, shall beloosed in Heaven. Amen. So then we find, but the body must live. Abraham’s a type.He’s the father of the faith. Is that right? Now notice now, God appeared in many formsto Abraham. Voices, light, and a man. Is that right? Well, God appeared to you,Abraham’s seed, and Luther, and Wesley, and all of those, in many forms too. Heappeared as a blade. Amen. He appeared as a tassel, as a husk, and now, He’s appearingas a seed that is waiting to be quickened by the Holy Ghost. Is that right?

But now, let us go back to the scriptures, and we have to type this out, see, ‘causeit’s in the Word. Amen. So, it’s in the evening time when Sodom was just about to beburned. Two angels had gone down and delivered their message to Lot, the worldlychurch. Those who believed the message. Now listen now, get this now. Abraham, theprophet, was called out of the world with Lot. He didn’t tell Lot...but Lot came alongwith him, but God didn’t tell him to bring Lot, but Lot came. He wasn’t predestinated togo in the Bride, but he came anyway. He saw the signs, you know, saw the healing, buthe come.

So therefore, when another Abraham prophet come, Lot came also. Followed himin the wilderness. Lived in the world, did all kind of filth, and still doing it. See what Imean now? And then believe it, and they’re still doing it. See what I mean now? Butthey had to come. But the elected seed of God. Those women stopped cutting their hairright away. Seed of God. They listen to their message right away. Seed of God. Seewhat I mean now? So therefore, to prove it, Lot could not stay with Abraham, for hiscongregation argued with Abraham’s congregation. They always do. The worldly oneswill always argue with you if you try to live holy, if you’re always trying to do the will ofyour Father, they’ll purge you out. That’s right. They have to do it. They’re ordained todo that.

So therefore, take no thought. Just let them sit there, and let them keep talking, letthem keep wanting to do what they want to do. Just let them go on. Let them curse you.God has bidden them to do it to purge you, to make you a little sweeter. Amen. To takeit out of you, wash you in the water, to wash you in that washing machine. They do it inthe house of God. Where at? In God’s house they do it. Unbelievers, make-believers,

15

sitting right in God’s house. Not the man outside, he don’t bother you out there. Hedoesn’t even know you. Is that right? Those in God’s house do it, see.

So therefore, and they hate you if you believe that Word. Oh, they...that’s Lot,see.. So then, we find then that at that time, Abraham, there he was called out. Sarah is atype of the Bride. She was part of Abraham. Amen. Not Lot, see. Sarah was part ofAbraham. And Sarah had her unbelief in the beginning, and so did we, right now.Amen. But she was part of God. So therefore, God could not take Sarah, though shedisbelieved. Is that right?

Abraham, he believed it, he was a prophet. He believed right away. “I’m goingto visit you in the time of life. You’re gonna have a son.” Sarah laughed throughunbelief. “Who me an old woman have a son?” Why did Sarah laugh, throughdiscernment? What happened there. Here’s what happened. We found out that Godappeared, He already appeared to Abraham now in different forms down through theSeven Church Ages, right? As Abraham came out of the world, and so forth. But at thistime, in the evening time, see, right at the time Sodom and Gomorrah was to be burned.The two angels, they went down, Oral Roberts and also Billy Graham, delivered theirmessage, and Lot still can’t come out. He has no testimony to his family. See what Imean now? When it came time to go, his family did not believe him, for he was living inthe world. He had no...lost his testimony. He went backwards.

But Abraham was pressing on, outside of Sodom. Just like you today. If youhave come out of the things of the world: Abraham, seed of Abraham. If you love it:Lot, see. So we find then that those two messengers could not get Lot out. It wasn’t untilGod Himself came upon the earth and spoke to Lot, “Come hither,” see. It was the timewhen Lot finally got his little city, Zoar, just one...let me break one little word, God. Idon’t want to go to the mountain. “Repent, repent, repent,” the prophet cried. Is thatright? There was the dream. There was two dreams. One by Junior Jackson, another oneby a sinner woman. She saw a little man, “Repent, repent, repent, repent.” And nextthing she know, there was a long prayer line, and it thundered, and then God spoke out,“This is Jehovah God.” And Jackson, he had the same dream.

So then, Lot was warned, “Come out.” See. But he said, “Escape to the mountainLot.” “I don’t want to go to the mountain, I want to go to Zoar. I want a little city. I gotto do...I must cut my hair, see, I must do this little thing. I got to do it”. See what I meannow? It’s election. That’s all I can tell you. But at that time, the sun was upon the earth.It rose on the earth when that happened. Judgment fell. The fire fell. We are waitingnow. The prophet has warned us, all things are ready, is that right? Make ready, the fireis ready to fall. Fire of the Holy Ghost first. I want to be baptized with fire, Holy Ghostand fire. Amen. Some don’t.

Anyway, I do. I want to be baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire. Amen. Sothen we find then, that at that time, God had appeared in many forms now, but in theevening time, He did something strange. There was the prophet, and there was the Bride,Eve, God, just before Abraham received the promise, God, Elohim, Jehovah, appeared inhuman skin and revealed Himself to His Bride. Abraham. Is that right? That’s onething. He appeared in human skin, see, in human flesh. So that’s one sign. Then in theend-time, we must look for the same sign. The Bible says it will be. St. Luke, 17: 30. Isthat right? Do you believe that? It happened!

16

We then, we had to see God appearing in human skin, and speaking the Word ofGod to you, revealing all the mysteries to you. Did you miss it? Did it go over yourhead? The mighty unveiling of the Mighty God. Son of man prophet. It’s God inhuman...it’s gonna be in your skin in a little while. It’s gonna be God speaking out ofyou, same, just like him. Do you believe that there? It happened with Moses too, justbefore he went to the promise. Is that right? It happened to Abraham just before hereceived the promise. God in human skin appeared to Abraham. Why human skin? Sothat you would know that it could happen again. That’s why. Amen. That’s why it washuman skin. It had to be. It was Word skin, that was Melchizedek’s skin, if you knowwhat I mean. Word skin, see, by the Word. You’re formed by the Word. You’re God’sword expressed here in the flesh, is that right, for this hour, to believe His Word. Amen.

You have to be. You were in His mind; you’re part of God. Therefore, you arejustified in His sight. You have never done nothing. That’s what He said. That’s whatHe said. He never saw it; those of you who believe the Word, see. So therefore, the firstsign: before Abraham received the promise son, Isaac, God had to appear in human skin.Now the next thing: after he received the promised Word, the angels, they were down inSodom. Lot was down there. He couldn’t get out, see. Right at that time, the next thingthat happened just before Isaac come, a great power come, a quickening power, to changeAbraham’s body. It was dead. Did you get that? The body was dead. Amen.

So it had to be quickened, changed, resurrected, if you get what I mean. I hopeyou get that. Romans 8: 11. If the Spirit of God that raised up Christ from the dead, be inyou, it shall also quicken your mortal bodies. So therefore, there was Abraham thebeliever, his body was dead, he couldn’t bring forth no life, but he was the body. Amen.He was the mechanics of the Word of God. But it needed some life to produce the seed.Is that right? So then, a great power came and changed Abraham and Sarah’s body, andthey went back. They were resurrected back to the way they were, young people. AndAbraham lived on, and also had more children way after that. Is that right? Amen.

So we find then that if we are the seed of Abraham, we’ll look for the samepromise. We’ll look for God appearing in human skin. We’ll look for a great power thatshall be sent from Heaven with a shout to change our minds, transform our bodies,everything, quicken us, make us alive, make us seeds of God that will live on the earth, asa witness out here that He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. Are you followingme? This is the message. Amen. It hasn’t changed, you know: same message. Amen.

So therefore, today, the body’s dead, but it will be quickened. For the Word ofGod says, “Comfort ye one another with these words.” This is the promise. You are tobe quickened. Amen. Are you tired? Well, Amen. Amen. Brother Branham, he hadthree pulls. Amen, Brother Russel. He had three pulls now. Now watch this, now, todaythey say, “Well, Brother Branham, he must be raised from the dead, see, because he mustride the trail one more time. And also he’s Elijah to come, see. He hasn’t come yet now,see. He hasn’t restored anything back. Seven Seals was nothing.”

So therefore, this is...the Holy Spirit is showing to you to see how stupid it is. It’sthe anointing here showing it to you. Other words, they’re saying he must come to ridethe trail, he must be Elijah coming. Well what happened back there in ’63? What’s allthe shout about back there? What is the books, the tapes, hanging up on the cross forbeing crucified? Huh? A messenger with a message must first die for it to be in effect.Amen. They all sealed their testimony with blood. Now notice now, watch this now.

17

Those Mexicans were Roman Catholics. Amen. Did you get that? They were RomanCatholics. So therefore, amen, that’s why we have the Holy Ghost. Amen. Praise theLord.

So therefore, they were Roman Catholics. So therefore, a Roman Catholic drovehis car into God’s prophet, amen, in Texas. So we find then, that God gave His prophetthree pulls, three pulls. He Himself, if you want it now, I’m quoting, it’s on tape, ‘Sirs,What Is The Time?’ and many other tapes. He told you on there, you hear it, that hismessage, his first message, his first pull rather, was healing. And that was the little birds,is that right? Little veterans. Amen. And they were in the shape of a pyramid. Theselittle veterans. Is that right? Those little veterans were wore out. But Brother Branhamwas tired.

He was on the field around the world...he was tired. But notice now, the veterans,where he saw from, flew eastward. They flew back, eastward. The next one was doves.But it was not white doves, it was gray doves. That was the second pull. That was hisprophecy. He was preaching ‘The Seed Of The Serpent’ and all these messages and soforth, that was the Word of God. God came down in the Seven Seals, and vindicated it.Told you it was “Thus Saith the Lord,” but it was still the Word back then in ’51, ’52, bya prophet, for he when...he was born a prophet. He went forth with the...he wasvindicated years ago. He was vindicated before the whole world, around the world onwire service by a pillar of fire.

I don’t know what they’re waiting for. He was already vindicated already. Butonly the seed can come, see. That was the second pull, the doves. These were graydoves, and they flew eastward. Now, we all waiting, “Where’s the third pull at?” It’s thethird pull, waiting for that third pull. Well, he said on the tape that the next thing, comefirst, the little birds, then the doves, gray ones. The next thing he saw for his newmessage, his third pull, was seven angels. Is that right? When did they come? Are theyto come or did they come before? Huh? Did the seven angels come to commission himfor his third pull then in ’63, or are they to come? You figure it out.

I’m saying what’s on the tape. That’s all. Don’t quote me now. I’m only sayingwhat’s on that tape, ‘Sirs, What Is The Time?’ Take it down. Amen. So therefore, sevenangels had to come to commission him for his third pull, where only life and death.How? Only the Word judges. Did the Word come down and judge. Did the Word comedown Himself, the Pillar of Fire, reveal the Seven Seals? Was the Lambs Book of Lifethrown open for you since 1963 sitting right here? Did it happen? Well, He threw openthe Book and you saw your name in there and here you come running. Amen. But theLamb opened the Book up, not the Lion. The Lion is coming, see.

So, okay. First, there was a blast, shook the earth and Brother Branham wasstanding on the mountain looking westward. And he said that the angels stood this way,and also, he counted them. But that one over on the corner over there was a mightyangel. That was the swept-back wings. That was the Angel, that was God Himself.

So therefore, only six angels came down Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. And six of them come down and revealed the seals tohim. The other, the seventh angel, he didn’t come yet. That’s the coming of the Lord.See? He’s the one that comes down in Revelation 10, and stands upon the earth. Bothfeet, not... he cries on the earth, not up in Heaven, on the earth. Go back to the dream,

18

Jackson’s dream. He saw God’s prophet at a long prayer line, but a dove came in andtook him on the wings of a snow white dove before the thunder. Hear the tape.

So therefore, it said it thundered. That’s what he said now. It thundered, and thevoice said, “This is Jehovah God.” But when you get a dream, Jackson’s dream back in’62, it all didn’t come together yet, but he had the whole thing there. But it didn’t cometo pass right then. Did it? It had to wait for it to come to pass. Amen. So therefore, theblast shook the earth, looking westward, a constellation like a pyramid come, see. Andthe power of God lifted Brother Branham up into this pyramid. And there the sevenangels of the Lord gave him his new commission. Go back eastward, and reveal theSeven Seals. It went around the whole world in Life Magazine and so forth, the signs,and that sign went up into the sky. Is that right? And formed into a cloud.

We happened to have it this morning, ‘cause I don’t think that, some didn’t seethis here. Now notice now, I better read the scripture here. I want to say everything righthere. Make sure it’s correct. This is a strange time right now, when you’re being quotedon everything. Amen. Praise God. Amen. So I’m reading from Revelation 5: the 9thverse. Amen? Amen! Praise the Lord. After this I beheld, and lo, a great...no, I’mreading from 7. And, I’ll read from the 1st verse. Revelation 5 now.

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written withinand on the backside, sealed with seven seals.And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to openthe book, and to loose the seals thereof?And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to openthe book, neither to even look at it... [these Seven Seals.]And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read thebook, neither to look thereon.And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe ofJuda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the sevenseals.But now when he looked, the Lion did not open it, see. Had he opened it, it

would have been judgment.And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and inthe midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven hornsand seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon thethrone.Now we find then, that down here in the 13th verse that John is praising and

blessing God. Is that right? He’s making noise. And they have people today, they don’twant you to pray loud. You can’t...now when John saw his name in that Lamb’s Book ofLife, he made some noise. Amen. Yet today, you can’t even hardly sing nowhere.Something’s wrong somewhere. Hear what he said.

“Blessing, honor, glory, power be unto Him that sitteth on the throne.” I say thesame thing. I got something to shout about. For the Lamb opened the Book. My namewas in there. There’s the Lamb. See the Lamb? See that sweet little Lamb there? Thenose, the ear here, the face, the mouth. That’s the Lamb.

Right up here, the Seventh Angel, here’s the eagle. I want to show it to you here.So therefore, this is to Christ. That’s the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven. Now notice

19

now, in ’62, Brother Branham said that Elijah would probably point to the sky screaming,“Behold the Lamb of God.” Is that right? Is that the sign of the Son of Man up in theheavens? Did he point to the sky in the Tabernacle last Easter morning when he put it uplike this here? Pointed to the sky. Is that right?

But we wanted him to be out in Tucson somewhere, up on a mountain, on SunsetMountain. And all certain ones, just certain ones be there. Only their own denomination.Amen, Brother Hunte. Just those, see, nobody over in Europe nowhere, or Africa orAustralia. But just a certain few people that say he’s the Word. They’ll be upon themountain. Then he would tell them, he’d scream out, “Behold the Lamb of God.” Hedidn’t do it that way. He did it through the Word, see.

For if the Spirit of God be in you, it shall also quicken your mortal body in theresurrection. God got one here, two there all over the world, see. Don’t ever make adenomination out of the Word of God. And Brother Hunte and I, we are strong upon thattoday. See what I mean now. Why? For the prophet of the Lord has passed on. Andmany now are screaming, “O Brother Branham.” The cloud took him West, see. He’sgone.

Therefore they’re screaming out, “What shall we do?” see. Let us alone, let us donothing. Let the eagles go forth. Amen. Let the Spirit of God anoint the eagles and sendthem out. That’s right. Then, the eagle can be in Africa, Australia, Canada, but they’llsee eye to eye. For Christ Himself, the Word, will come down Himself and search outHis sheep through a five-fold ministry. He’ll do it, with great power. Amen. You tired?Amen. We’re trying to get this message out...

(Blank Spot on tape)

Revelation 10: 7, tells us, In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when heshall only begin, start, to sound. When he just moves on, begin to open the seals up, themystery should be finished. Is that right? I mean, it really should be finished. After all,it was...the Church was lost. We had no vision of the end-time. The Baptist said thatthey were right, Pentecost...everybody was right. Is that right?

What we needed was a vision of the end-time. Daniel said, shut up the words, isthat right, seal up the Book until the time of the end. Is that right. In the end-time whenknowledge shall be increased, they shall fly to and fro, run to and fro. At that precisetime, I will open the Seals. But the Lamb will do it. The Lamb will open up the Seals,reveal to you that His prophet is a judgment sign, see. And the next voice shout you’llhear will be the Messiah speaking. This is Jehovah God. It’s the next voice you’ll hear.For a prophet sign laid down there in Texas, and the Evening Star rode a trail across theskies. Is that right? And we still don’t understand it.

So then his message, it says here, was to finish all the mysteries, all these thingsthat they had probed at down through the ages. For when the First Seal broke, Paulcaught it, he was a prophet. He knew that there was something. He didn’t know that itwas a Roman pope, see, because it hadn’t started yet. But Paul knew it was something,so he caught it, and said, “The mystery of iniquity doth already work.” He prophesied itwas already working, in a spirit form. See what I mean now?

So how greater is William Branham when he told you who it was? Amen.Thousands of visions, and spoken word and everything. He’s already done it already. I

20

don’t know what you’re waiting for. I’m waiting on the coming of the Lord, for he’sturned my heart back to the promise that He’ll come, and He’s even on the way. I knowit. So his message was to finish the mysteries and introduce the Messiah with therestored Word. Is the Word restored back? He can’t come unless the Word is there.That’s what the Pentecostals believe. They believe that they can go on in sin, and they’llbe caught up to meet Him in the air. Amen. It’s not gonna happen that way.

So the Word had to be restored first. Did he restore the Word? That’s up to you,see. I can’t tell you that. It’s restored in my heart. So how did he do it? The Lamb didit. He opened the Seven Seals. Is that right? The Lamb restored the Word back to theBride. Now, the Bride has a prophetic vision. She knows it’s judgment coming.Ananias and Sapphira.

Three weeks ago, Brother Pearry Green in his Church, he asked Brother Branhamto come speak. He said, no I won’t say nothing, he said that...but I want to say this, thatin the churches today, the Lord’s Supper is only a tradition. People come packed full ofsin and take the Lord’s Supper. He said, “But that won’t be long.” He said, “There’sgoing to be the Holy Spirit among you, it will call out the Ananias and the Sapphira.”William Branham said that out in Tucson Tabernacle. See, he said that, not me. He saidthat. Because the Bible says that. That’s why he said that, see.

He said, “There’ll be a great power among you, and it will be Jesus ChristHimself.” God Himself. That’s what you’re looking for. You’re looking for God tocome down in this assembly here and speak out, speak out in here. Others are looking forsomething else now. They don’t want no kind of order. All God told us to do is go backthere to New York and just preach the Word. Take this Church Order. Put those spiritsin subjection to order, because God’s house, you’ve got to have order in it. So that’s whywe have Church Order here. See, ‘cause the seeds of God, they love it. They love to bein order. They love to listen to all the deacons and everybody. They love that. That’sthe seed of God.

But the rebellious spirits, from time to time, rebuke them, and let them know thatyou’re in authority there, before all, sometimes, if they sin, that others may fear. It’s theWord. But now, you preach like that, “Who do you think you are, anyway?” “DidBrother Branham say that over there?” The Bible says, He’s the Word. Amen. Theydon’t understand you, but whether they understand you or not, preach the Word inseason, out of season. Be constant all the time. They won’t understand...they’ll look forhim to be resurrected somewhere. See what I mean now?

But they won’t know. My people, the daughters of Jerusalem was wailing againstthe wall. Is that right? He was right there. Are they wailing right now, against the wallsright now? The daughters of Jerusalem. They’re wailing, up against the wailing wallthere. Same thing all over again. The daughters are wailing, you see. They just can’ttake those ministers. Something, I don’t know about it, but anyway.

So therefore, the Seven Seals restored the Word to the Bride. A prophetic vision.All the mysteries are finished already - he said so - that when he begin to sound. Hefinished the mysteries, except marriage and divorce, right away. Is that right? Andeverything which came forth from there came from the Seven Seals, from the Lamb, see.And that’s why John said, Blessings and shoutings, and honor and glory and everything.The seeds of God love to sing, they love to shout, they love to do everything. They

21

praise God. Amen. Let everything that has a voice, praise ye the Lord. What are youlooking down for? Look up, for your redemption draweth nigh. Amen.

So now, we find that John, he had to preach marriage and divorce. He had todecrease. God’s prophet had to decrease that Christ might be increased. Rome killed theprophet. Same thing today. He’s a Roman Catholic, so I understand. We now have therestored, prophetic Word message. Where at? In our hearts. For Elijah restored it toyour heart. Is that right. But it’s laying there, for Christ restored the Word to Peter,James, and John and them, didn’t He? But it laid there until the resurrection came.Amen. And the resurrection is the rapture. Is that right? So we’re looking for therapture in the resurrection. You must be resurrected first, for we’re dead, the body, thisbody’s dead. Needs to be changed. Then when it’s quickened, it will be quickened toevery Word. Every Word.

This mind will be transformed. See what I mean now? Amen. That’s that powerthat you’re looking for right now. If I could only pray in fifteen minutes. If I could onlygo on, if I could only stop being so mean, see. Power’s coming. But on a seed of God.So there’ll be anointed ones at the end-time who’ll still do the same thing. Baptized inthe Holy Ghost. God’s prophet says so. That woman said, “I can walk up those threesteps.” He said, “No you can’t.” She walked up there with high-heel shoes on. Click,click, click, click. And she begin to walk down a narrow way. It got narrower, narrower,narrower, and she fell off. You can’t walk...you’ll walk in God’s way. That’s right.

There’s a way...there’s a highway and there’s a way, and the way is calledHoliness. Those very high-heel shoes like that there, tips them over and they go alongtinkling as they go, the daughters of Zion. See what I mean now? And God’s prophetpreached that and they’re mad against him. But however, that message that he preachedis living in some of the daughters of Zion’s hearts today. We have some right here.Living in their hearts. Amen. Do you believe that there? Praise God. Amen. Praise theLord.

So we have the restored, prophetic Word message. Where at? In the Book? Inour hearts. Amen. It needs to be quickened though. It’s gonna be quickened. Sotherefore, I believe that my heart has been turned back. I don’t know about your heartnow, see, but mine has. See what I mean now? That’s what I believe, see? Be it untoyou according to your faith. Amen. Don’t quote me, see, now, I said, what I believe.That’s me, see.

Now, the worn out messenger cried to go home on wings of a snow white dove.Now that happened. You heard it here on telephone. He read Psalm 55: If you read it atall in the Spirit, you’ll see what he was trying to say there. He’s tired. Forty years, he’sbeen sick. People were prayed for right in front of his face, and God never healed him.Is that right?

He had a little six...he had seen like a little fury animal in a vision in his stomach,he was sick. Brother Branham was sick, suffered for forty years. Forty years isjudgment, too. So therefore, he had a message though, before he could go home. Nowon that tape he told a story about a little dove. And a dove is a sign, right? It is also asign of peace, you see. It’s used for a sign by Noah. And also it was used for JesusChrist, and so therefore, it symbols peace. And now, God’s prophet had told his story, Ithink it was about World War I, and how this was a carrier pigeon, see. But he had amessage to deliver.

22

And the enemy saw him, and they begin to shoot at him, and also his wing wasclipped, you see, a part of his back shot out, and so forth. But he kept on going. He wasbruised and battered. But he was going home, see. And he got the message home, andfell on the floor. Now, the little birds was going eastward, after the First Pull, is thatright? Then, the dove, the next pull...these doves they flew eastward. After the SevenAngels, God’s prophet was coming eastward to Jeff. Is that right? To...he was bruised,he was battered, he was tired, he was worn out. And little did he know, as he passedthrough Texas. But he had to go that way, see? For there was blackout in Texas there.And there he was killed. God’s servant. Is that right?

So we find then, that, why is that? We don’t know. We’re trying to understandtoday, what does it all mean, see. But it means something. But we know this, that he hada message since 1933. Is that right? And he preached the Word, for God gave him manyvisions, that he would pluck fruit from both sides. Jesus’ Name and also Trinitarians. Hewould take the fruit from both sides, a plum tree and also an apple tree, and he got thefruit. Is that right? He got them. His message got the fruit. And then his...I should sayhis crowning message, his Third Pull, when he was to reveal the Bible. It was revealed.Well then he got that message out. It went out. This is the called-out age.

First you had the martyr age. Then you had the reformer age. Then the Lambcomes, opens the Book up, and calls out His people. See what I mean now? Thereforethe prophet got his message out, and then he was going back. He said, “The next majormessage on my heart is tracing the serpent’s seed.” Is that right? But now he got themessage out.

But now there’s some people...now you’ve got to be very spiritual here. Somepeople say, now he said himself that he had three pulls. And I just named them. Littlebirds, gray doves, and seven angels. That was his signs to him for his three pulls. Butthere’s another sign, a eagle. Then if that was to him also, that would be a fourth pull,wouldn’t it? Well you decide, how many pulls was he supposed to have? Is that right?He was supposed to have three pulls. They all had three pulls. So now, if he was to havea fourth pull, that would be the eagle. So here was he waiting for thirty three years,preaching the Word in season, out of season. Revealed the whole Bible. See what Imean now?

Then at the end, there he was out in the desert. And now, he begin to say that hewants to preach the seed of the serpent, to tell how it started in the beginning. Is thatright? Around about that time, seed of the serpent was preached somewhere in thecountry. See what I mean now? So the prophet, it was told to him, you know. Oh yes, itwas told to him, see. So he just smiled, he was happy. For he knew that an eagle caughtit in the Spirit. So now, he was happy. See it’s time to go home now. So he’s sick andhe’s tired through forty years, his stomach and so forth. And all of you know out there inArizona there, finally up there, it’s on the tape, it’s on the tape now, ‘Wings Of A SnowWhite Dove.’ See.

He went up...now his mother, she said. Now all of her dreams have come to pass,but something that we all missed, I believe, I know I did anyway. So his mother, she hada dream. I think I took down part of it here. Just hold on a minute. Oh yes, his motherhad a dream, and it’s on the tape, and he said that she saw six doves in the shape of an S,come down, right, and also went back. Now, she saw him sick, laying there about to die.Did you get that there? It was on the tape. She saw her son, Brother Branham, sick and

23

dying. Dying, see what I mean now. And he wasn’t shot now, but he was dying, see.But then he quickly said, “My stomach”, you know. So... he’s a prophet, see, speaks inparables.

But that was said, see. So then, also saw a little six inch furry animal. Is thatright? Slid down his throat, see. Now he said that that was man’s suffering. Number sixis man’s number, see. But then he must promise one day that I’ll show you a sign, andit’ll be the seventh white dove. Where will it be at? The Lord God, He’ll provide Hisown sacrifice. Is that right? He provided a ram to Abraham. Way out in the wilderness,on a mountain. Is that right? He provided a ram as a sign to Abraham way out there inthe wilderness. So God’s prophet said himself that he was up in the mountain, and there,I think it was in October, right through there, he saw a white dove.

That white dove was snow white, it wasn’t gray. See what I mean now? It wassnow white. Then he knew what that meant, see. Alright, that meant that he wouldfinally be healed. Now he had his three pulls. Now I’m not saying he’s supposed to havea fourth pull. I didn’t say that. But he had his three pulls. He was tired, he was worn outfor forty years. He preached the Word there, see. But he was sick. And that’s the yearof the judgment, see, that’s the number of the judgment. And there he was waiting, see.

When he saw that sign, he shouted, and then he come back again, and he waspraying there. And the Holy Spirit says, “Look up over you heart.” And over his heart,there was carved in the rock, written in the rock, ‘White Eagle.’ See? And then thateagle flew. He saw an eagle fly in a vision or something. So therefore, dove, Holy Spiritfirst, then eagle. Now this is another sign now, different message. I’m gonna read whathe said. He said he knew he would see the seventh dove. And also at the same time hesaw that little furry animal hanging on a branch. Is that right? In October, he saw allthree together. Is that right?

Saw that little furry animal hanging on a branch, right. Okay, he saw wrote,written in stone, ‘White Eagle.’ Just exactly what the vision said the next message wouldcome forth by. Now I don’t know what that means, but that’s on the tape, see. I wrote itdown exactly as I heard it. He saw the white eagle flying just exactly that...what thevision said the next message, the next message would come forth by. Wrote in the rock.But the dove was first, then was the eagle. Then he said in the prayer, I imagine, it isfinished, see. I’m going to be well, sign from above, for the dove was a sign to Noah,when he come back, I think with the olive branch there that it was peace after the watersof judgment. Is that right?

Noah and his family, finally they had peace and safety on dry land. But the dovewas a sign to them of peace. Is that right? And then Christ, He come down, and a doveappeared, a sign, and He give us His peace. Is that right? Now Brother Branham, thatseventh dove, was a sign to him of peace. For he read out of Psalms 55: On the wings ofa snow white dove. Is that right? He wanted to take a flight from here on the wings of asnow white dove. And nobody knew what he was talking about, you see. You’re notsupposed to.

So therefore, Brother Jackson had a dream and Brother Branham walked downthere just exactly like something was gonna happen. It did, but we didn’t know whathappened, you see what I mean now? And we expected ‘cause he said Jackson sawBrother Jack Moore’s Church, he saw the Church and everything, and Brother Branhamhad a long prayer line. Is that right? Did he have it? And he wanted all the old timers

24

who started it out in the very beginning. And they were there. Jack Moore and all ofthem were there. Is that right?

But in Jackson’s dream, at the end of that prayer line, a dove flew through thewindow, see, and took him home. You see what I mean... took him, but the dove come inthe window. But then also, right after this long prayer line, it thundered, and a voice said,“This is Jehovah God.” And that was the end of the dream. So the people was expectingfor it to thunder in Shreveport, and a voice speak out, “This is Jehovah God.” But itdidn’t happen. You see what I mean now? It didn’t happen that way.

Another woman saw the same dream. She saw a little man running in the streets,“Repent, repent, repent.” And then it thundered, and a voice said, “This is Jehovah God.”Same dream almost. So therefore, what does that mean? I’m not gonna tell you ‘cause Idon’t know. But if it has been preached, then you’ll understand it. See what I meannow? So therefore, he also said, “It is finished, I’m going to be well. It’s a sign fromabove that I have peace at last.” The seventh dove was a sign to me...to him. But then atthe same time, he was battered and bruised, but he saw an eagle. He knew it was theeagle age.

He knew that the eagle can fly high in the Spirit. They’ll take the message. Theymay kill the messenger and seal his message with blood, but the message will live on, forthe eagles can pick up that message and preach that Word, in season, out of season, sameway. Rebuke with all long suffering. Call out the sinner, whatever the...God tells theeagle to do, he’ll do that. He’ll do what God tells him to do, the eagles. Why? For heknew that the eagles would have to start in Genesis. Amen. Seed of the serpent. Tell ithow it all started. He knew the eagles would pick it up. He would just smile if hehappened to hear about it. Amen.

So, what can I tell you. You have to be spiritual. So we find then that he saidalso, that Noah, sign of a dove, it was a messenger, dove is a messenger, coming to tellhim that everything is alright. And also, he says...now he’s praying. He says, “You gaveNoah a sign, you gave the world a sign.” He gave us a sign also, the world, see, that itwas peace with him, see. “And you gave me a sign. And the next day,” this is himpraying, “seeing that eagle flying. O God there is a message coming forth now. I praythat you would let the Holy Spirit dove lead, lead me to a faith, send down amessage...could send a message...if you could send a message to Noah and John, send itto me, can send it to others, on the wings of a dove, the faith. The wounded dove hasbrought the message back.” That’s what he said.

“The wounded dove has brought the message back, and it flopped out, but themessage got home.” Did it get home in your heart? Then if it’s in your heart, if God hasrestored it to your heart, it will live, when the quickening power strikes it. It’s the Wordof God. Amen. So we find then that the wounded dove has brought the message backand he cried out, “O God it’s finished, just give us faith to believe it.” And he said a fewother words, and so forth, up in so forth, around the country, and like that, you know.

So therefore, Noah searched for land. Amen. Brother Frank caught that there.So the dove Spirit of the Holy Ghost to give faith. He said, “Lord, let the Holy SpiritDove flutter into our hearts to give us that faith.” See what I mean now. That herestored: the Word, the mechanics; it came back. Amen. You have the faith in thatWord, don’t you? You’re waiting for the quickening power, for he has restored you backto that Word. But Christ must take you on now. Only Christ can take you on, see. Don’t

25

dare follow a man. Follow the message. Amen. Then you won’t have any sorrow today,you won’t run around the country nowhere, if you follow the man...if you’re followingman, you’d be down right now. But if that Word of God is abiding in your heart, “Abidein me, and I’ll abide in you. And in that day if you keep on abiding, I’ll keep on blessing,I’ll keep on sanctifying. You keep on believing, and I’ll fill your hearts in that day, I’llquicken your mortal bodies.” - if you do.

But if you’re just believing a man’s flesh, see. For in that same dream with hismother, it said that at the time he was dying, he was building a house on the hill. Henever went into his home. Amen. That was in her dream, years ago. When he waslaying there dying, there was a house being built on a hill. You see? So, he never gotthere. So we find out that...that also he said that, “Let this be a memorial prayer line forthe sick in honor of the old days. It can be done again.” That was on the tape there.

So then we find then that the Seven Seals restored the prophetic vision to theBride. The Bride has it now in her heart. And that message will live by the great eagleanointing. For there’s a power coming upon the earth that’s gonna change you. Amen.It’s gonna change you, see. So therefore, now whether our hearts have been turned backto the message, I don’t know, see, because it’s suppose to be unbelievers, make believersand believers in the same congregation. But one day there’s a great power coming in toweed them out. But see, He’ll do that, not me. Don’t root up the tares, let them sit there.Preach...feed the flock. Amen. That’s tonight. Praise God.

So therefore, the worn out messenger, amen, the worn out messenger cried out togo home on wings of a snow white dove. Did he do that there? That’s what he wanted.He begin to sing, ‘On the sings of a snow white dove,’ is that right? He sang it and sangit and sang it and sang it. And we didn’t know what in the world he was talking about,see. So he was battered and bruised, and went on. So now we find then that God’sprophet, he cried out for deliverance; we spoke about that. He knew that he was to see asign of a dove. The seventh dove, it’s a sign of peace. His mother’s dream, I spokeabout that.

So then we find also he said that he said he had seven eights, seven changes,seven eights, fifty six years old. He had to have a change. Is that right? That’s what hesaid. And also how strange, the dove sign to Noah. I spoke about that. Brother Branhamwas going home, the Roman Catholic, I went through this here. I want to catchsomething. Saw a white dove wrote in stone. Went through all...I been preaching, kindof off the notes here, skip over it.

So then we find then that he saw the eagle flying, and he knew that if he could getthat message home, that God would pick up that message in some hearts. Quicken it,make it live, for the age. See what I mean now? There’s certain predestinated seeds ofGod that received a message but can’t do anything, see. They must wait, I say wait onthe Lord. Isaiah 40. Then they’ll mount up with wings as eagles. Is that right? They’llrun, they won’t be weary then. You’ll walk and you won’t faint, in God’s time. That iscoming.

So we find out then that...something I wanted to say here. Oh yes, that notice thishere, the past four years. Rome has had a dialogue with the whole world. Watch thisnow. But its works was finished in December 1965. Is that right? God’s prophet, hecame with a dialogue to the Bride. His work was finished in December 1965. Is thatright?

26

The pope said last week, “The seed sown by the council must now be cultivated.”That’s what he said. And we know that there’s a demonic power that’s gonna come uponthe earth and cultivate that seed sown by Rome among the image to the beast in all thechurches. Is that right? They’re gonna have a quickening power also, that’s gonna drawthem together against the Bride. But we also know that there’s gonna be a great poweramong God’s seeds. And God’s seeds will be cultivated by the Spirit of Almighty God.So we find then that just before Brother Branham signed off, so to speak, that hepreached ‘The Rapture’ out in Yuma and Realto. Now the Bride wants to know why didhe go there and preach it. Why didn’t he come to Jeff. or somewhere. He has to followhis Father. So let us turn over to II Peter 3: This is what he preached out there.

Be about five minutes. Are you understanding the message? Amen. BrotherBranham preached on the rapture before his death among scoffers. II Peter 3:3.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking aftertheir own lusts,And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fellasleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.Now the promise of His coming was tied up in Malachi 4. Is that right? So he

went after he preached, ‘The Wings Of A Snow White Dove’ out to Yuma, andannounced it, at a banquet. And I’m told that they was smoking there. And they weresaying, “Hurry up, come on, get through there.” That’s right, they were scoffing. But thescriptures say he had to preach it there. He had to preach the promise of the comingamong the scoffers. And he also held up the tape, see. But, and he used Psalms 27:5, ifyou want to take it down, and II Peter 3: 3 and 4. That’s what he used. And that’s whathe preached on two messages.

So we heard that...we all heard that the rapture would take place in the fourthwatch between 6 and 9 A.M. in the morning, is that right? Somebody want to know, wellthat’s in Tuscon. Well then, that’s what he said, I don’t know anything about it, see,‘cause I haven’t even heard the tape. But the prophet said it was between 6 and 9. That’sgood enough for me. I’m not worrying about whether...what time it’s over in Africa orwhat time it is in Canada, between 6 and 9. See what I mean now? For I know that this,that the Bible says, when the Seventh Angel strikes the earth, time as you know it shall beno longer. Is that right?

Well, I don’t worry about these things, about what time it’s over in California,and what time will it be over there, for time shall be no longer: time as you know it, daysand hours. This is eternity. So never try to get ahead nowhere. Don’t try to figure it out.Time shall be no longer. That’s what the scripture says, is that right? Amen.

So therefore, we find then that he had to preach it this way. And he signed off,and Brother Dillard told me the other day, that all he was saying was, the judgment iscoming. The fire is falling. And the fire fell in Indiana and also California, fireballs fell.Is that right? Signs that the Holy Ghost fireball is gonna fall upon you soon. That’sexactly right, see.

So therefore, he preached it there. And now a brother out West, won’t say thename, he happened to go to Phoenix, and there he met a brother who was at the meetings.And he gave the bombs. Amen. So this is what he said. He said, “Three things tohappen before the Lord appears” see. Now go back to Abraham now. Certain things hadto happen before Isaac appeared. God in human flesh, is that right? But a power had to

27

come and change their dead bodies back. Is that right? Ok, let us turn to I Thessalonians4: 14, so we can see it in the scripture. I’m tired. Amen. Praise God.The sixteenth verse.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice ofthe archangel , and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall risefirst:Now I’m gonna say what Brother Branham said. It’s on the tape, and this was

this Brother’s notes, and this was given to me, so I’m gonna give it to you. And I didn’tsay this now, Brother Branham said it. He said, now there’s three things that musthappen here. There’s the shout, the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God. Hesaid, now the shout, the shout, the first thing that happened is the shout. Now hear whatthe shout is. That’s the message, through Malachi 4. What are you shouting about? Gotanything to shout about? Great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst. Isn’t thatsomething to shout about? The Word of God. Isn’t that simple? How simple?

The Lord shall descend from Heaven with a shout on the earth. Other words,there’s His prophet, sealed the message with his blood, the message is out in book andtape and everything. And there it is laying out there. Scoffers come, “He ain’t noprophet, if you’re a prophet, raise up from the dead.” See what I mean now? Be carefulwhen you’re praying to ask him to be raised up. Make sure it’s God’s will. See what Imean now? So therefore, the scoffers say, “Raise up from there. Come on now.” See?And therefore, “I thought you had a message. You’re dead now.” You see what I meannow? Then, the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven and make that shout, thatmessage live. How? In your hearts. Amen.

It’s very simple. Noah built the ark. And there the ark sat, and they scoffed at it,is that right? And they laughed, and they laughed, and they laughed; but the water came.Amen. Type of the Spirit. Is that right? And it lifted up that message, that ark. Up itwent. Amen. All others died. This message, if this is the message, and to me it is themessage, for it’s living in my heart, and it’s gonna be quickened, see what I mean now?Therefore all others to me is wrong. There is no other message. Son-ship, body,whatever it is, to me it’s wrong. This is the message. And though God’s prophet’sremains is laying down in Jeff., I have the message, for he spoke that message, continuepreaching in the eagle age, then he’ll do that. But right now he told me to feed the flock.That’s all I can do, is to stand up here, let the Holy Spirit feed the flock.

If I’m called in this great anointed age, this age where a battered, bruised seventhangel had his wings clipped, going home. His elbow, see what I mean now? Crushed.But I’m told that every bone in his body came back to place before he died. That’s right.Every bone came back to place, was mended back, and then he died. So therefore, hebrought the message.

Now, you say, “Well, why saith the scribes that Elias must first come?” Well, goback to when, ‘God Hidden In Simplicity.’ You all were there. He said that, when therapture comes it’ll be so few. Why, it won’t even be missed. That’s what he said. It’dbe a very very few. See. And nobody could figure it out, what’s he talking about. Hesaid, why the judgments will be falling and they started in Alaska. See. The judgmentsin Arizona, this flooding and snow, and all across a dry desert. See what I mean? Riversrunning and so forth. Judgments are falling all across the land and so forth. Thejudgments would be falling. Christ would be on the earth in his message Word in your

28

heart living, and then certain ones would come in and say, “Why say the scribes thatElijah must first come? Where’s he at?” See what I mean now?

“Why don’t he raise up from there?” See what I mean now? Elias is alreadycome, and you didn’t know it. Why, he was a prophet from the foundation of the world.He went forth in 1933. Didn’t you know it? What do you think he stood up there, andsaid, “Stop cutting your hair” for? That was God speaking to you, sister. That was Godspeaking to you through His Word. Did you know it then? You see what I mean now?But you did unto Him whatsoever you listed. You see.

That was God being revealed in human skin there. But it’s so simple, he said thatsomething will come among you, it will pass over you, pass right on through you, youwon’t even see it. That’s the way God does. He comes in simplicity.

Now, I’m not telling you that Elijah has already come. I’m not telling you thatBrother Branham will not raise from the dead. Please don’t go out of here and say that. Isaid to you that, why saith the scribes, is he already come? Is your heart restored back. Isay to you if God wants to raise him, that’s God’s business. That would be according tothe will of God. So when you pray, you pray, “Lord, let thy will be done.” Make surethat you don’t pray amiss. Make sure that all that the bruised, battered messenger foughtwith a torn-up stomach for forty years to bring you the message, and here it is layinghere, and you run somewhere else. The message is supposed to be in your heart. Youdon’t have to run nowhere. It’s suppose to be in your heart. If you want to go downthere, go down orderly. Go down there and see the prophet, see his remains, and comeon back home.

But you got the message, he got it home to you. And Rome killed him, see. Buthe got it home to you, that’s right. So therefore, if you want to know what... that’s themessage. The message went forth, to me, see, to me. Now, people want to ask you aquestion, I’m not gonna answer any questions. I just preach the Word up here. I’m notgonna try to explain nothing. You cannot explain this. It must be revealed to the eagles.So Brother Hunte and I, the Holy Spirit show both of us, don’t try to explain nothing.Somebody come and ask you this, and ask you that. I don’t know nothing, I’m just aservant of the Lord, doing what I’m suppose to do here in New York. That’s all I’msuppose to do here. See what I mean now?

If God change it, then I’m happy, it’s alright with me. See what I mean now?But I’m gonna do what it says, I’m gonna preach the Word. See what I mean now? Sotherefore, if the message has been restored, and he had the message. Do you all see thatthere? Was something restored to your heart? Do you believe in all that the prophetshave said? Well that’s the message. Your heart was turned away from Pentecost,Baptist, and whatever it was, turned to the Word. You want to hear the Word, the Word,the Word. Then your heart was restored to the Word. Then believe in all that God’sprophet has said. And he looking down over the banister right now, he’d be happy if hecould see all of us across the country exhorting one another, assembling ourselvestogether with love. You know what I mean now? And not with a lot of wrinkling, andalso accusations, and you said this over here, and what did he mean over here, and soforth. He would be happy to know that his message got home, see, his message gothome.

So you make sure today that the message of God got home to your heart, for it’sthe Word of God. Then if that has happened, he said the next thing would happen,

29

number two, the second thing, wait a minute - the shout, oh yes. Number two, the secondthing is the voice of an archangel. Jesus on the cross. Now notice this now, Jesus up onthe cross. Jesus gave up the ghost, it’s finished, see. The work is finished. Gave up theghost, and cried with a loud voice, and the resurrection took place. Is that right? Thevoice came after the Son of Man, God Prophet, died. Is that right? See what I’m talkingabout now? The Holy Spirit, see, went down and preached to souls in prison. But avoice, he cried with a loud voice, something that he said. So Brother Branham said thatthere was something in Jesus’ voice, some words that he spoke. Now watch this now.

All the old saints, from Adam on down, they were asleep, is that right? Don’tmiss that. They were sleeping. See what I mean now? So in their sleeping, though theywere in a different place, they were still sleeping, they wasn’t dead. But He woke themup with a cry. He cried out on the cross, and they woke up, resurrection time, and theycome up and walked around the earth. Is that right? The Bible says that the Bride issleeping. Slumbering and sleeping. Is that right? So the Lord Himself must descend,leave his body in the air. Left his body up on the cross didn’t he. And the work isfinished, the message got home. Is that right? Is it living in your heart? Though we’resleeping, we’re dead. The body is dead. We’re sleeping. But there’s gonna be a voice, athunder, Jehovah God, something He’s gonna say is gonna wake us up, for we’resleeping.

They were sleeping, a voice cried out, “Wake up,” and said certain words, andwe’re sleeping. That right? But when that happens, that is the resurrection, it’s on. Theresurrection is on, and only the seed can come. And that’s the time when you’re gonnasee a little persecution. It’s coming on now, see. So then, the saints arose and Jesus saidsomething and this voice again will bring forth the rapture to the sleeping Bride with ashout, a message that will live. Amen. So a Bride is sleeping and the Thunders must bespoken, I believe.

The third thing is the trumpet, and this is going to call the Bride to the weddingsupper, see. That’s what’s gonna be. Now, did God give Brother Branham three pullsplus another pull? He gave him three pulls, little birds, gray doves, seven angels, assigns. Did he give him another sign as an eagle? That’s up to you to know, see. I’m notsaying anything. All I know is that he passed away. All I know is that he said that themessage got home. Now whether he’s to come back as the eagle again, I don’t know,see. This is the eagle age. Whether there’ll be one eagle all over again, see what I meannow? Whether it’ll be in the resurrection. Christ Himself the royal seed of Abraham, inthe resurrection. In that time, quicken their bodies to see many sons like unto himself.Whether it will be all the eagles gathered there. You following me now?

If that is the case, that’s what I’m looking for. So I pray that you understand whatI said just now. So I’m saying to you that I’m not saying that Brother Branham is notgoing to rise. I didn’t say that. I said, if he rise, it’ll be for the glory of God, it will beGod’s will. See what I mean now? But I know this, that there’s got to be a resurrectionpower come among the Bride. I know that. And if he doesn’t rise up, he, so I heard, saidhimself, that, “I go away, but I’ll come back in a little while at the last trump”. That’swhat he said now. This was what was said. So therefore, if people are looking for him tocome back, I don’t know, maybe they’re right. But me, I’m looking for the will of God.I’m looking for the Lord Himself to descend from Heaven with a shout. And therefore,I’m here by the grace of God this morning to comfort you with these words. Amen.

30
