Slide 3: 

Back to Index God hides in simplicity and reveals Himself in humility. His servants are not to be known for their fine clothing, scholarship or eloquent speech. Jesus said that Israel had rejected all of God's prophets from Abel to John the Baptist and prophesied that the church would reject all of the prophets He would send them (Matthew 17:12; 23:33-35). The morning Brother Branham laid the cornerstone for his church; the Lord spoke to him in a vision and said, "This is not your Tabernacle, when you come out of this vision, read II Timothy 4." And He sat him down under the bright blue sky and said, "Do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry, for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but shall gather up teachers that will tickle their ears, and be turned from the truth to fables." This is the apostasy Jesus and Paul foretold for the end of the Laodicean Age.

Slide 5: 

Shortly thereafter his father died in his arms from strychnine administered by his doctor. Three days later his sister-in-law died. The Flood resulted in the death of his young wife Sister Hope pictured with Brother Branham on the next slide. Their nine-month-old daughter died four days later. In 1936 he saw a vision of the 1937 Flood which showed the Ohio River 32 feet above Spring Street, Jeffersonville. The Lord said, "Leave Jeffersonville and do the work of an evangelist." But in deference to the wishes of his mother-in-law he put off obeying God. The Flood took place according to the vision.

Slide 7: 

Brother Branham remarried. Here he is pictured with his wife, Meda.

Slide 8: 

Brother Branham's ministry spearheaded the healing revival that followed World War II. God told him he would travel around the world, praying for kings and potentates, but with only a seventh grade education he could not understand how. God said, "As the prophet Moses was given two signs for a vindication, so will you. Take people by their right hand in your left, and keep humble. A reaction on your hand will indicate what's wrong with the patient. This is the same thing our Lord Jesus did on earth. And it will come to pass that you'll know the very secret of their hearts. This is the revealing of the Son of Man". God is true to His Word. Our Brother prayed for King George VI, who was miraculously healed of multiple sclerosis.

Slide 9: 

In obedience to a vision, Brother Branham commanded an unknown man to come out of his wheelchair. This was Congressman William Upshaw a US Presidential candidate in the days of prohibition, who having been confined to a wheelchair for 66 years ran to the platform at eighty-six, touched his toes and jumped up-and-down. At a White House reception for Billy Graham he stood on the steps and sang, "I'm Leaning on the Everlasting Arms".

Slide 10: 

The photograph to the left accompanied the prayer request of Sis. Florence Nightingale, a missionary nurse in Africa. Learning that Brother Branham was visiting England she was flown to London where he prayed for her at her hotel. No one in the party had ever seen anyone in such pitiful condition. She was just skin and bones. Eight months later he received this second photo along with her testimony of healing.

Slide 11: 

This photograph shows an Indian boy who was instantly healed of a paralysed and short leg while seated in the audience in Durban, South Africa.

Slide 12: 

One view of the Durban meeting which broke all previous records of attendance. Owing to the multitude that could not be accommodated in any church, Brother Branham's second meeting in Durban was held at the race track—the second largest in the world. His crowds broke all previous records of attendance.

Slide 13: 

Although Durban had a large municipal and private bus fleet, there were not enough busses in the whole of the metropolis to accommodate the crowds. The following morning the Mayor of Durban, Mr. Sidney Smith, came to Brother Branham's hotel and raised the window for him to see seven cattle trucks full of stretchers, crutches, wheelchairs and other aids discarded by people the Lord had healed. Those who had used them the day before followed, walking and singing in their native tongues, "All things are possible, only believe." It just goes to show that Christ is the answer, and the One who gives the answer.

Slide 17: 

Did you know that dead people have actually been restored to life in our day?

Slide 18: 

If God can take leukaemia from a little girl who can't have faith for herself, and make her fully whole . . . . what can He do for you?

Slide 19: 

St. Nicholas Arena, New York City, 1951 "You’ve just come from the doctor and have two cancers, one on each breast, and you're given up. You are shadowed with a black hood to death".

Slide 20: 

Audience at the Sam Houston Colosseum, Houston, Texas Even Brother Branham’s critics don't deny what God did in this ministry, revealing Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever by the Messianic Sign of Hebrews 4:12, "discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart. . . as it was in the days of Lot." Whenever a Christian makes a mistake or an impersonator is caught out, this news is beamed around the world, yet the media tell us nothing of these truly miraculous events that happened in our very own days! Cripples were made whole, the blind saw, and even cancers were healed. The dead were raised to life, and demons were cast out. The meetings sometimes held crowds estimated at 500,000.

Slide 22: 

Truly amazing, I'm sure you'll agree? And yet, most people know nothing of this. I wonder why! Moses led the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage in the first exodus after receiving instructions from the Angel of the Lord speaking from the pillar of Fire in a bush. Paul led the Church out of apostate Israel in the second exodus after the same pillar of Fire met him on the Damascus road, and said "Why do you persecute Me? I am Jesus, and it's hard to kick against the pricks" (Acts 9:3-5). Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Watch how He signifies His love for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

Slide 23: 

Following a revival meeting in 1933 Brother Branham was baptizing the seventeenth of 500 penitents in the Ohio River before 5,000 witnesses, when the pillar of Fire appeared above him in the form of a Star, and a Voice said, "As John the Baptist foreran My first Coming, your Message will forerun My second Coming." In the Patmos Vision, "Jesus held seven stars in His right hand . . . which were the angels of the seven churches." Brother Branham was the seventh angel, the messenger to the Laodicean Church Age (1906-1963). It is most important for us to realize and understand that once again, the unchanging God with unchanging ways has sent a vindicated prophet led by the pillar of Fire, which is Christ, the Angel of the Lord. And that we live in the third and final exodus wherein Christ is calling His Bride out from the apostate churches into oneness with the Word for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Revelation 10:4; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:47-56). We live in the most evil, yet most glorious age. Can you say Amen?

Slide 24: 

"The appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord" or Shekinah, seen by Israel's high priest alone within the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement, accompanied Brother Branham from birth and has been photographed in different countries indoors and out of doors. This famous photo of the pillar of Fire like a halo over the prophet 's head was taken at Houston, Texas, on January 24, 1950. It is the Lord Jesus—the only vindicated photo of the Supernatural. Examined by George J. Lacy's FBI-accredited forensic laboratory, it was certified genuine. Pictured in the next slide is his Certificate of Authentication verifying this amazing photograph. The original of this photograph is in the archives of the Religious Department of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C.

Slide 26: 

This picture was taken at Grant's Tabernacle in 1964, it shows the Shekinah on Brother Branham's shoulder. It is amber or emerald green in colour as described in the Bible.

Slide 27: 

Almost immediately after shooting this photograph of Brother Branham preaching in 1957, the Angel of the Lord and the pillar of Fire manifest, and were captured on film.

Slide 29: 

Brother Branham with his son Joseph at Sunset Mountain; note the Shekinah falling on the rock on which they stand. It was on this Mountain in 1963 that Brother Branham was caught up into a pyramidal constellation of the seven stars that are the angels to the seven Church Ages. He was placed in the position of the seventh angel whose ministration "finishes the mystery of God," uniting the seven potions of the Spirit into the fullness that is presently infusing the Capstone Bride. Then he was told to return to his Church where the mystery of the Seven Seals would be revealed, which is Christ the fullness of the Word (Acts 3:21; I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 1:1, 20; 10:7). This Supernatural mountaintop experience in fulfilment of a vision, was an adoption ceremony parallel to Mount Transfiguration by which God recognized Brother Branham as "the firstfruits of we who are alive at Christ's ['parousia'] Coming" (I Corinthians 15:23; Matthew 17:1-8). When he descended the mountain he returned to his Church where he faithfully expounded the revelation of the Seven Seals as Christ unfolded them to him.

Slide 30: 

The dreadful power of the ‘third pull’ . . . . The magnitude 9.2 earthquake that struck Alaska on March 27, 1964 was the second-largest earthquake recorded in modern times (after a 9.5 earthquake in Chile in 1960), and the largest in the written history of North America. It released 100 times as much energy as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and was followed by tsunamis. During the earthquake, more than 100,000 square miles of Alaska broke, twisted, tilted, dropped and rose. Water sloshed in lakes and harbours as distant as Louisiana, and water levels jumped in wells as far away as South Africa. Seismic waves travelled through the planet for weeks and Earth rang like a bell, wrote associate director Doug Christensen of the Geophysical Institute University of Alaska.

Slide 31: 

Within each fragment of rock blasted from the canyon walls by the whirlwind of the Angel of the Lord was a pyramid with the Headstone placed. Until the Lord broke open the rock to reveal its hidden mystery, these symbols were sealed from the foundation of the world like the mystery of the Seven Seals, the "Capstone revelation" that brought our Headstone back to earth in WORD form to complete the Body (Mark 8:38; I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Jude 14; Revelation 10:1-7). Bible scholars know God wrote His first Holy Bible in the stars. Enoch wrote the second Bible in stone before the Flood; it is the Sphinx and Great Pyramid that symbolise redemption and new Jerusalem which is Christ's Bride and the elect of all ages, whose Head and Chief Corner Stone the builders disallowed and crucified on mount Calvary as confirmed in God's third Bible written in paper and ink.

Slide 32: 

In this picture, the Pillar of Fire surrounds the head of Brother Branham, who pointed out that there was no light between him and the rear of the auditorium.

Slide 33: 

This series of photographs shows the Pillar of Fire as it descends over the prophet at a breakfast meeting at Lucerne, Switzerland in May, 1955.

Slide 34: 

As Jesus told Peter and Andrew, "Henceforth you will be fishers of men," God spoke to Brother Branham from a vision wherein he was fishing for rainbow trout in a crystal clear lake, a type of Christ's end-time Bride immersed in the perfect interpretation of the Word. Employing the metaphor of fly fishing He said, "Like all great ministries, yours will consist of three 'pulls.' First, you will hold the hand of a penitent seeking healing, and a Supernatural sign will appear on the back of your hand by which I will indicate to you the nature of their disease. This will give them faith to receive their healing, confident that the God who knows their condition can also heal them." The Prophet's 'first pull' attracted the attention of the little fish, and immense numbers of people recognized God is alive. However, his mission was not to catch the little fish, so he pulled the line just beyond their reach, and their swarming after the lure of divine healing attracted the attention of bigger fish.

Slide 35: 

For his 'second pull,' God gave him the lure of the Messianic sign of Hebrews 4:12, "discerning the thoughts and intent of the heart . . . as it was in the days of Lot" (Genesis 18; Luke 17:28-30). By this sign God identified Himself to Abraham and Sarah veiled behind the flesh of a created Man known as Melchisedec, just before the destruction of Sodom. By the same sign He identified Himself to the Samaritan woman at the well when He veiled Himself behind the virgin born flesh of Messiah. In our day God has discerned the thoughts and intents of peoples' hearts veiled behind the flesh of William Branham, a sinner saved by grace, revealing Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. This supernatural miracle was the last sign promised to us Gentiles before the close of our dispensation. However, his mission was not to catch these bigger fish either, but to gather the rainbow trout or wise virgin. Ministers asked him to explain the first and second 'pulls' and before long there were carnal impersonations across the land. God now said, "Set your line for the 'third pull,' and don't explain it to anybody." The lure for the 'third pull' was the revelation of the Seven Seals. The opening of the Word will call Christ's Bride out of Babylon to be filled with the Spirit and catch the rainbow trout (Matthew 25:6; Revelation 18:4). There can be no impersonation of this, and the elect of God cannot be deceived on the revealed Word of God.

Slide 36: 

The last saint predestinated to Laodicea was redeemed in 1963. All seven Church Ages being ended, and the world church system having turned from the truth to fables, Christ fulfilled Revelation 4, 5 and 10:1-7, enduing His prophet with an increasing measure of the Spirit as He revealed each Seal until the fullness of the Spirit revealed the fullness of the Word and the rapture commenced. This was Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming as promised in the Bible to restore the apostolic faith and incarnate His end-time Bride as the Capstone of the pyramid, fit to be gathered into His garner at its close in this fiftieth day or holy convocation of the antitype of the Pentecostal Feast. Paul explains the rapture in I Thessalonians 4:14-17, "Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, (we know this is a type of the first resurrection as is Matthew 27:50-53), and when He returns, God will bring back with Him all the Christians who have died. For we have THUS SAITH THE LORD that we who are alive and remain unto the [parousia] Coming of the Lord will not take precedence over those who are asleep (Matthew 16:27; Mark 8:38; John 21:22). For the Lord Himself (not a second or third person) will descend from heaven with a Shout, with the Voice of the Archangel, and with the Trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord".

Slide 37: 

This Scripture does not speak of the physical return or 'erchomai' Coming of the glorified Son of David, an office He cannot assume until the Millennium when Israel is a nation restored to tribal order following the consummation of life on earth (Ezekiel 48; Isaiah 13:9; Malachi 4:1-3; II Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:20). It describes His 'parousia' Coming in the "Shout" or 'third pull' of Brother Branham's Message, which is the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 that awakens the sleeping virgin and calls them out of Babylon and her (once) Protestant daughter churches into the unity of the faith as confirmed by the heavenly Voice of Revelation 18:4. The "Shout" is Christ calling your name from the Lamb's Book of Life by the revelation of the 'third pull.' It is His proposal of marriage, and your invisible union with Him when you accept. I hope you understand and do not miss His gracious wedding invitation. Please follow this: The seven earthly angels or messengers to the seven Church Ages were Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley and William Branham. The "other mighty Angel who came down from heaven, surrounded by a Cloud, with a rainbow over His head" was Christ "the Archangel." The "Voice of the Archangel" is Christ in the heart of the Bride, whispering His affections by confirming the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring her to maturity and oneness in the faith (John 17:21-26; Ephesians 4:13; Revelation 18:4).

Slide 38: 

"The Trump of God" will be marked by massive earthquakes that sink Los Angeles and large areas of California, split the Mount of Olives, demolish the Dome of the Rock, and ignite the "hot" stage of World War III. This will signal the end of the Gentile dispensation, the first resurrection and manifestation of the Sons of God, and call Israel to her feast of Trumpets (Matthew 24:31). So we see that Christ's 'parousia' Coming is synonymous with the rapture, which is the threefold PROCESS of a "Shout, Voice, and Trump." This is Brother Branham's 'third pull' that began in 1963 with the revelation of the Seven Seals and will soon be completed following the Seventh Trump with the resurrection of the sleeping saints, the manifestation of the Sons of God and our translation (I Corinthians 15:47-56). The elders of Israel said of Christ, "We know You are a prophet come from God for He has thoroughly vindicated your ministry." Once again a man has been approved of God by miracles, and wonders and signs in the midst of us, and "He who receives a prophet in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ will receive a prophet's reward," which is to be a friend of God (Matthew 10:41; James 2:23). Like Israel, unbelieving Gentiles will soon be without excuse and the door of grace and mercy will shut. Peter said, "It shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet will be destroyed . . ." or cast into the tribulation. Incredibly, a majority of professing Christians have not received the restoration ministry of God's vindicated prophet (Acts 3:21-23; Malachi 4:6; Revelation 3:17-20; 22:11, 17-19; Matthew 17:11).

Slide 39: 

Sculptors have chiselled a likeness of four United States presidents at Mount Rushmore. This photograph does not do justice to the genius of the great Master Sculptor who without human hands wrought this perfect likeness of our good Brother Branham in Sunset Mountain, Arizona. Having visited this spot I can testify that anyone who knew the Prophet or has seen his photograph would instantly recognize his profile.

Slide 40: 

Many times Brother Branham spoke of His death. In April 1965 He said, "I see my end coming at 56 years old." On December the fifth, in his Message, "Things that are to Be," he said, "I'm beginning to get old, and know that my days are numbered. I'm glad that there's something to get us out of this pest house. There's an open door, and it's called Death. Jesus stands in that door. Amen! He'll guide me over the river. He'll take me through that door." "Every time your heart beats, you're one beat closer to it. And someday I must come to that door. You must come there. But when I come there, I don't want to be a coward; I don't want to scream and back off. I want to come to that door, wrap myself in the robes of His righteousness—not mine—His. By this I know that I know Him in the power of His resurrection, that when He calls I'll come out from among the dead to be with Him. . . Wherever this body might fall, and wherever it might land, whatever it is, I'll come out someday, because He promised it to me".

Slide 41: 

On December 18, 1965, Brother Branham was driving home to Jeffersonville with his family to spend the holidays and teach on "The Trail of the Serpent." His "enmity" is aimed against God's chosen people of the seed of the first and the last Adam (Genesis 3:15), and if you understand the 'third pull' you will know that his trail began in the garden of Eden in Genesis, has circled the nations, and ends in Jerusalem in Daniel and Revelation. It's a revelation! Satan could not allow his exposure if by any means he could prevent it. A carload of soldiers, whose drunken seventeen-year-old driver had a history of crime and punishment from the age of eleven, and who had been released from a reformatory only 30 days before, crossed onto the wrong side of the road and was killed instantly. Brother Branham died six days later, on Christmas Eve. This photograph shows the extent of the damage to his 1964 Ford.

Slide 42: 

As God took John the Baptist Home after he had introduced the virgin-born first Coming of the Word, He took Brother Branham Home after he introduced the second Coming of the Word. This was ordained to cause their disciples to follow the Word Himself, rather than the messenger who had introduced Him. Brother Branham's funeral service in December 1965 preceded his burial, which took place on April 11, 1966, after his wife, Sister Meda had recovered from her injuries. The denominations are apostate and know it not; all seven Church Ages have ended. Christ is no longer a Mediator, He is the Judge. The Seven Seals have been opened, the mystery of the voices of the Seven Thunders has been revealed and the mystery of God is finished. Christ is present now, calling you to recognize your day and its Message and come under preeminence to the Word before the threefold PROCESS called the rapture is complete.

Slide 43: 

As "Christ was the firstfruits of those who slept; Brother Branham was the first mature Son of those who are Christ's at His ['parousia'] Coming" (I Corinthians 15:23). We must realize that God has promised He will manifest Himself in our sinful flesh if we believe and give Him the pre-eminence, and in the manifestation of the Sons of God, what we say He will do. The Prophet said, "By a Divine gift, if I can just get myself out of the way, let the Holy Spirit say what He wants to do, and do what He wishes to do. Now, that's a gift, not just imaginary. And if it's imaginary, it won't work. If it is real, it works. That's what Jesus said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me." So it couldn't be me. He was the Son of God; I'm a sinner saved by His grace". Brother Branham's life was used by God to expose the reality of sin and the authority of the faith of Jesus Christ in regenerated man to bring his mortal spirit and corruptible flesh subject to the Word of God that His Life may flow through sinners saved by grace.

Slide 44: 

The ministry and Word of reconciliation are committed to us to call whosoever will come into Christ’s finished work (Revelation 10:8-11). His end-time Bride was fully redeemed in Him on Calvary when He cried, "It is finished." We tarry only for that last elect soul to hear his name called from the Lamb's Book of Life. As for the world, Jesus did not even pray for it (John 17:9). Brother Branham fulfilled his commission and has passed from this mortal scene. His Message introduced Christ's second Coming in 1963. Our Lord Jesus Christ came as a thief in the night, and according to His Word, He came with ten thousands of His saints and He is present now. We do not look for the Man by sight, we see the Word by faith. We wait not for His Coming, but for our going. Let us rejoice! "Soon the seventh angel will pour out his Vial into the air, and a great Voice from the throne in the heavenly temple will declare, It is done".

Slide 45: 

The most fundamental Biblical truths may sound like a foreign language even to some who call themselves Christians, since for a long time they have neither sought nor "received the love of the Truth" (II Thessalonians 2:10). Jesus said, "I am the Truth. . . [and] as many as I love" (John 14:6; Revelation 3:19); He did not say "as many as love Me." His love is "elective love." It is the many that are loved of God. It is His 'agapao' love for His elected, not our human 'phileo' love for Him. His love for His elect is apart from human merit, for the purpose of God stands in election which is the opposite of works or anything man has of himself. "As it is written, before the children were born, God declared, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated" (Romans 9:11, 13). You may well ask: "How can I know whether Jesus loves me?" You will know He loves you if He is in communication with you, imparting His mind by a clear understanding of His Word, which is faith, inspiring, admonishing and correcting you in love, that you may become a written epistle of the present Truth, which is the Message for your day, and overcome the world by obedience to it (Revelation 3:19; I John 5:3-4). Back to Index

Slide 46: 

Please join me as we examine the evidence together. How God used a sinner saved by grace, a prophet for our day and age, to convey a Message in order to achieve His eternal purpose for you and for me. In this presentation we neither add to nor take from God's unchanging Word, but celebrate the Gospel promises that have been fulfilled in our day. Some of these may be unfamiliar to you unless you have diligently searched the Scriptures to understand and confirm the present Truth, for we must "walk in the Light God is revealing now" or we will find ourselves impersonating the Word for a day gone by (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7). If your heart's desire is to be one with the Word as Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, you will redeem the time that remains and the Lord will enlighten your soul. So let the compass of Christ the Word temper and direct your zeal, for your heart is deceitful above all things and easily persuaded by the enthusiasm of your human spirit from what the Holy Spirit is trying to show you. Make your Absolute the revealed Word of God—not human memory, affection, reasoning, conscience or imagination. Faith is the mind of God in you and will agree with His unchanging Word from Genesis to Revelation.

Slide 47: 

It is important to understand that Christ was a Mediator throughout the Church Ages to intercede for the ignorance of the saints because the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals, and they could not see the fullness of the Word. As a consequence every minister taught and every Christian believed a measure of error. But since the revelation of the Seals we have the perfect interpretation of the Word; Christ is no longer interceding for ignorance, and desires us to know Him even as He knows us. Therefore receive our words with all readiness of mind and trust Him to guide you to recognize your day and it's Message in your own Bible. We live in the very end of time when Christ is whispering His secrets to His Bride to bring her to maturity in the unity of the faith in preparation for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. His amours are in the Bible, but these precious thoughts are written between the lines, and no one will understand them no matter how dearly they love the Lord unless they too are called and chosen, "for the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places, even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless in His Presence." It is not our present love for Him but His eternal love for us before there was a world. How can we know? We will know our love is mutual when the Voice of Christ the Archangel is speaking within our heart, placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation.

: 

It is a fact, for almost 2,000 years Bible believers have longed for Christ's second Coming, but do they know the signs to look for and that judgment will follow? God always gives warning and a way of escape before judgment strikes. He told Noah: "Build an ark, and warn that after 120 years I'll destroy every living creature." God's mercy was spurned, for in all that time not one soul was persuaded to join their company, so He commanded Noah: "Provision the vessel, board the animals and after seven days I'll open the windows of heaven." He did, and the world perished. The ark was a type of Christ, the 120 years of preaching represents the seven Church Ages and the seven days type this present holy convocation before the end of the Gentile dispensation. As it was in the days of Noah, God is tarrying in judgment pending the Seventh Trump and the "latter rain." Many outside of Christ are preaching, and scoffing, not knowing that the Mercy Seat is now a Judgment Seat. Ministers are still educating and sending out preachers, yet their own churches are without mercy. Soon Christ will steal His waiting Bride and gather the elect of Israel; then every living creature will be destroyed with fire. He who has an ear let him hear!

Slide 49: 

Noah lived in an age whose scientific and engineering achievements far surpass our present potential. In Matthew 24:37, Jesus prophesied that at the end of the Gentile dispensation the world would be at ease in a scientifically advanced state, oriented toward material goals and sensual pleasures but lukewarm to the warnings of God's Prophet, "as it was in the days of Noah"; and said it would repeat the unforgivable sin of Noah's day, which was a repetition of the "original sin," but miscegenation on a global scale (Genesis 1:11; 6:4). Nowadays, sinners applaud and encourage this wickedness under the euphemism "multiculturalism." Earth is incurably corrupt in relation to God and full of violence in relation to men who join with whomsoever they choose, ignore the prophetic warnings vindicated by Supernatural signs, and carry on "as they did in the days of Noah" as if God had not spoken (Genesis 6:1-13). You will no doubt agree that today, once again, everything stands in sharpest contradiction with the good state established by the Creator: humanity has become "all flesh"—soulless, animalistic—and will be destroyed by atomic fire as it perished by Flood (II Peter 3:1-10). You are probably quite conscious of these present circumstances, but have you recognized them as the signs of His Coming?

Slide 50: 

Jesus said, "Sodomy will be condoned in the day when the Son of man is revealed; and as it was in the days of Lot, three Messengers will condemn sin" (Luke 17:28-30; Genesis 19:5). In our day, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts preached repentance to the non-elect churches in Sodom, while God veiled Himself behind the flesh of William Branham, a sinner saved by grace, who delivered a Message to His elect and revealed Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever: healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead, and "discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart . . . as it was in the days of Lot." This last sign of His Coming was unrecognized by the world, and "scoffers say, Where is the promise of His Coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation" (II Peter 3:1-7). Like the Sodomites, they've been struck blind! Flee the churches in Sodom! Shake the dust from your feet! Stop scratching around the foul yard of denominational traditions for scraps of manmade dogma! Come out of Babylon and be filled with the Spirit, fly into heavenly places where eagles feed on the living Body Word (Matthew 24:28; 25:6; Revelation 19:1-4). Don't turn back to the world like Lot's wife. "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Slide 51: 

Israel anticipated Messiah's first Coming for almost 2,000 years, and although their prophets foretold the signs to look for, they ignored the prophecies of Isaiah 40 and Malachi 3 because of the misinterpretations of theologians who caused them to seek the signs of His third Coming (Isaiah 63:1-6), and the forerunner of His second Coming (John 1:19-28; Malachi 4:5-6). John the Baptist and his Message were rejected, and he was martyred by Esau, the Edomite King Herod. So Jacob crucified Messiah on the hour, day, month and year foretold by Moses and Daniel, and true natural Israel was struck blind until the Gentile dispensation is fulfilled (Exodus 12:6; Daniel 9:26; Isaiah 42; Micah 5:3; Romans 11:25). Like the Hebrew children's expectations for His first Coming, Christendom has been anticipating Messiah's second Coming for almost 2,000 years, and despite forewarnings to watch for these and numerous other signs, the world church system is blind to such conspicuous phenomena. And repeating Israel’s tragic mistake, Christendom has rejected the forerunner of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7 for the misinterpretations of their theologians, who have conflated His second Coming with His physical return, which will be His third Coming with the saints of all Ages after the consummation of life on earth.

Slide 52: 

Jesus and Paul warned that like Israel, the Gentiles will end in apostasy, supposing they have all of God when they are spiritually wretched and miserable, bankrupt of faith, blind to the Word, naked of the Blood and crucifying unto themselves the Son of God afresh (II Timothy 3-4; Hebrews 6:6; Revelation 3:17-20). Because of unbelief in the revealed Word of God the world church system is not looking for a prophet—a sign mandated before judgment (Amos 3:6-8). Unaware of Christ's secret sudden second Coming and the rapture, she scoffs when faith reproves and rebukes her man-made traditions. Soon, under the delusion she is doing God a service, she will kill all who do not submit to or receive her mark of the beast, which is the pagan Trinity doctrine (II Thessalonians 2; Revelation 13:14-18). Although much of what has been taught through the Church Ages was man-made theological guesswork, even pagan tradition, Christ "winked" at this ignorance and honoured the faith of those who received the Word for their hour by baptizing them into the Body. Now, since the Seven Seals have been revealed, He commands His people to repent and come into the unity of the faith because the Day of Judgment is nigh.

Slide 53: 

Jesus said, "My Coming will be as a thief in the night"—unseen by the natural eye. "If any one says, He's over here; or, there. Believe it not. Or if they say, He's in the desert. Don't bother to look! Or, He's hiding at a certain place. Don't you believe it! My Coming will be as lightning that comes out of the East and shines to the West." So we're not to anticipate that Man from Galilee, and the world won't know He's come until after He's gone, having stolen His Bride away to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky. Lightning is not confined by geography; in fact it extends way beyond the horizon. So now we see the same Light of Spiritual revelation that shone in the East has flashed in the West. Like a thief, it strikes suddenly and departs just as quickly without trace. Like a vision or the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it appears unannounced and vanishes, yet if the illumination is from the Lord, this "Light in the evening time" of the Gospel will agree from Genesis to Revelation with the morning Light God revealed to the apostolic saints. And as wise men followed the Light from Pakistan in the East to Bethlehem in the West in order to see the Word, wise men of today follow the evening Light that was restored in the West as prophesied by Zechariah 14:7, Malachi 4:5-6, Matthew 17:11 and Acts 3:19-21, in order to see the second Coming of Christ the Word: "For wheresoever the Body is, there the eagles will be gathered together".

Slide 54: 

So what is the Body? The Body is Christ, the fullness of the Word—not PART-Word as revealed during the Church Ages when the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals, but the present Truth—what Jesus is doing now. The evening Light prophesied in Zechariah 14 and Matthew 24 is the morning Light or apostolic faith restored according to Malachi 4:5-6 and Matthew 17:11, plus the revelation of the Seven Seals. Here the eagles have gathered to feed their souls in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. Paul taught, "When the fullness of the Word is unveiled through the revelation of the Seven Seals, PART-Word and mediation for ignorance will be done away" (I Corinthians 13:10). And when that last elect has recognized his day and is reborn of its Message, "every eye will have seen Him . . . for we walk by faith, not by sight." The first resurrection will commence, and after the manifestation of the Sons of God, Christ will catch up His waiting Bride. The disciples asked Jesus, "What will be the sign of your Coming"? He comes only three times. First He was born of the Virgin Mary to redeem His Bride on Calvary. This was a physical or 'erchomai' Coming to fulfil the prophetic office of Son of man. His second Coming was to incarnate His Bride in the unity of the faith. As prophesied throughout the New Testament, this was not a physical or 'erchomai' Coming, but a 'parousia' Coming.

Slide 55: 

Unfortunately our English Bibles do not differentiate between these two words but translate both as "come." This has caused great confusion among those who do not "study to show themselves approved of God, rightly dividing the Word of truth" before offering the sacrifice of their faith. (In type of Paul's admonition to us, the Hebrew priests flayed and examined the flesh of the sacrifice, to prove it was without spot or blemish, before offering it to God). Whereas the Greek word 'erchomai' means to physically arrive, enter or come, the word 'parousia' means "arrival and subsequent presence"—but not necessarily a physical presence. For instance, if we were to speak on the 'phone we'd be in one another's presence, but I may be in Hong Kong whereas you might be in England; we may never have seen one another, yet we'd be in one another's presence. Were you to see a film of Brother Branham he'd be in your presence, yet you won't be in his presence until we're caught up together with the Church Age saints. Jesus' third Coming will be His second physical return. This will be the 'erchomai' Coming of the glorified Man as Son of David with the glorified saints of all Ages, to step out on the ashes of the wicked for a thousand years of peace (Malachi 4:1-3). This will be the restoration of the kingdom to Israel.

Slide 56: 

Until that time, Israel will be ruled by a non-Semitic people like the Edomite Herodians who ruled in the days of His flesh (Isaiah 63:17-19; Daniel 8:13; 9:27; 12:6-7; Malachi 1:3-4; Luke 21:24; Hebrews 10:29; Revelation 11:2). Foolish virgin in the circle of this Message and denominational churches are looking for the signs of His third Coming, refuting the revelation of the seventh angel’s Message which is the fullness of the Word and was His second or 'parousia' Coming. Only the glorified saints who come back with Him after earth's cleansing by fire will see His physical return. Just as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three offices or dispensation claims of the One Person of God, not a succession of beings, Son of Man, Son of God, and Son of David are three offices or dispensation claims of One Man—Jesus Christ, who is "the beginning of God creating Himself a part of His creation" (Revelation 3:14). These three offices correspond with Christ's Offices of Prophet, Priest and King. If we rightly divide the Word of Truth and recognize our day and its Message we’ll see that these offices are distinct and successive, for He could not be a priest until He had first prophesied and died to redeem a people requiring mediation under the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34), and He cannot be a King until He has redeemed His subjects, so He cannot occupy these three offices simultaneously until the Millennium.

Slide 57: 

Forty days after His resurrection, Jesus Christ the Logos or fullness of God's expressed attributes ascended bodily into heaven where He took the office of Son of God as Mediator for the ignorance of the Church Age saints—not for the world at large. On the fiftieth day of Pentecost God recognized the faith of those assembled in the upper room and inaugurated His new and living Temple the Church, by the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the visible appearance of the Shekinah as when He dedicated the Tabernacle of witness, Solomon's Temple, Jesus Christ the Chief Cornerstone of this mystic Body, and as He will one day overshadow New Jerusalem. Let us understand this clearly. Throughout the Church Ages Christ expounded the revelation of the present Truth; He excused the ignorance of mysteries not yet revealed or lost through Roman Catholic martyrdom, and baptized the elect into His Body. The saints of each Church Age or division of the Body were reborn by a different measure of revealed Word quickened by a commensurate portion of the Spirit, and so long as the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals they had only PART-Word for since Christ is the fullness of the Word He could not be present during the Church Ages (I Corinthians 13:10). But once the last saint predestinated to the PART-Word Body was redeemed in the Laodicean Church Age redemption was over. Now the Lamb advanced from the Outer Court of the heavenly temple where His bloody body had lain as a memorial, and entered the Holy of Holies where as Lion of the Tribe of Judah He claimed the Book of Life, tore open its Seals and took His seat as Son of man, King of kings and Judge . . . but not yet Son of David (Revelation 4; 5; John 5:27).

Slide 58: 

As in Ezekiel 4 where the prophet lay on his left side in prophetic pantomime representing the whole nation of Israel, then lay on his right side representing the whole nation of Judah, in the Book of Revelation John represents Christ's end-time Bride who will not see death. Throughout the Book John is led by the angel of Revelation 1:1 who is the prophet William Branham, the angel to the Laodicean Church Age and the only man to whom Christ revealed the mystery of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10:3-4, which are the revelations hidden under the Seven Seals. These divinely revealed 'mystery-truths' will literally turn the hearts of the children back to the faith of their apostolic fathers. In Revelation 10, God reveals an important symbol as "another Mighty Angel came down from heaven, clothed with the Cloud (or Shekinah); and the rainbow was upon His head. (It is the second or 'parousia' Coming of Christ as the Angel of the Covenant. As Paul foretold, "The Lord Himself will descend," not a second or third person; and remember, the Lord IS the fullness of the Word). His face shone as the sun; and His legs were like pillars of Fire. A little Book was open in His hand, and He placed His right foot in judgment on Rome, the beast that arose from the populous Mediterranean, and His left foot in Judgment on the United States, that arose from the relatively unpopulated land of America to become the image of the first beast".

Slide 59: 

According to I Corinthians 13:10 and Matthew 24:22-28, the Revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 brought Christ back to earth in WORD form through the mouth of His Prophet. Jesus stated emphatically, "Do not look for a Man, look for Light on the Word." His second Coming is the revelation of the fullness of His Word; it is not, and I repeat NOT a physical or 'erchomai' Coming. But how will the people who believe in Messiah know these things unless they are constantly in the Word to understand the present Truth? Daniel said "the wise will know their God, but the foolish will not know". Jesus spoke of a sign in the sky, and explained that His 'parousia' Coming would be "universal." Revelation 1:7, "Behold He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, even they who pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him." A natural cloud and the glorified Man could not be seen "universally," besides, half the world is in darkness at any given moment, but if He were universally visible to the natural eye His Coming would hardly be "as a thief in the night," and the resurrection and catching-away of Christ's Bride would hardly be secret and sudden, nor under such circumstances would God need to send two prophets to witness to Israel.

Slide 60: 

"Every eye shall see" does not necessarily refer to the eyes in our head, for that would exclude the blind; it is a metaphor for perception by the eye of the discerning mind when the physical side recedes. Again, notice who will see and who will not see Him (John 14:19). The seers or "eagles" are His Bride who see Him in the Word for their hour. "They who pierced Him" are the 144,000 elect Israelites who will walk by faith rather than sight, thanks to the ministry of the Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 Matthew 24:31 and Revelation 11. "All kindreds of the earth will wail because of Him" are the foolish virgin and others who will recognize they have missed the rapture and must surrender their lives in martyrdom during the tribulation in order to maintain their names in the Book of Life and secure their salvation. Jesus was speaking of three different groups at three different times. The Bride, the elect Israelites who won't recognize the significance of their Sign in the sky until three and a half years after the Bride has been caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and the non-elect groups who are "saved, yet only in passing through the fire of tribulation" (I Corinthians 3:15).

Slide 61: 

According to I Corinthians 13:10 and Matthew 24:22-28, the Revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 brought Christ back to earth in WORD form through the mouth of His Prophet. Jesus stated emphatically, "Do not look for a Man, look for Light on the Word." His second Coming is the revelation of the fullness of His Word; it is not, and I repeat NOT a physical or 'erchomai' Coming.

Slide 62: 

God's elect understand the New Testament not by the "letter" alone, but by the "Spirit." As Israel will soon discover in retrospect, "the letter kills, but the Spirit gives eternal Life. . . For the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the Law of sin and death." If you've listened to Brother Branham's sermons and read the transcripts, perhaps memorizing many of the quotes, this is commendable and may qualify you as a foolish virgin: Caiaphas did as much in his day, but he was lost. In order to be a wise virgin you must do what Caiaphas neglected to do, and take the Prophet's Message back to Scripture to ensure you understand what it means. For with the "letter" only, you may crucify to yourself the Son of God afresh as Caiaphas crucified the Son of Man to Israel. Son of God and Son of man are two different offices or dispensation claims of the same God.

Slide 63: 

This is the Supernatural Cloud of glory prophesied in Daniel 7:9, in the Gospels, Acts 1:11, Revelation 1:7, and from the pulpit by Brother Branham in December, 1962. This photograph was taken over Arizona on February 28, 1963, and appeared in Life Magazine on May 17. Text of article: Hovering like a giant’s smoke ring, a great cloud appeared at sunset over Flagstaff, Ariz. last Feb. 28 and set off a continuing scien- tific mystery. Watchers struck by the cloud's odd shape and huge size, took pictures, like these four, at different times and from widely Scattered locations in the state. Dr. James McDonald, a meteorologist at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Tucson, has been ac- cumulating the pictures. Using them as the basis for trigonometric calculation, he has Made a startling discovery that the cloud was at least 26 miles high and 30 miles across–"a lot higher and bigger," he says, "than a cloud should be.”The circle was too high to be made by a jet plane, and so far as Dr. McDonald can determine, there were no rockets, rocket planes or bombs being tested nearby that day. He hopes anyone else with pictures will lend them to him, for he would like some more Clues about the cloud 26 miles up–no water droplets exist at that height to make a cloud.

Slide 64: 

This was the sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming to us Gentiles as the Cloud prophesied in Matthew 24:3 and 30 will be the sign of His 'parousia' Coming to Israel. This was not His 'parousia;' it was the sign announcing His imminent 'parousia' Coming through the Word spoken by the mouth of His holy prophet finishing the mystery of the written Word, introducing "that which is perfect," and unveiling the mighty God before us. Christ is the mystery of God revealed. As the sight of the Roman ensigns on the Mount of Olives was the promised sign warning the early Church to flee Jerusalem’s walls in order to save their natural life, the sight of this Supernatural Cloud is the promised sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming, warning His end-time Bride to flee the "walled cities" of Rome and her (once) Protestant daughter churches in order to save their soul. Jesus upbraided the Pharisees of His day: "Hypocrites—you can interpret the appearance of the sky, but you can't interpret the signs of the times." The same Light that opened the eyes of Christ's Bride in the morning has been restored to the saints in the evening time through the revelation of the Seven Seals as promised in God’s unchanging Word (Zechariah 14:6-7; Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11; 24:22-28; 25:1-13; Acts 3:21-23; I Corinthians 13:10; II Thessalonians 2:1; Revelation 10:1-7; 18:1-4).

Slide 65: 

When turned to the right the Cloud is more easily recognizable as the head of Christ, wigged as a judge, looking directly down upon the earth. From approximately 150 reports, many from persons well aware this was a type of cloud unprecedented in years of cloud watching, it was established that it was 30 miles across and at least 26 miles high— above the atmosphere where there is no moisture to form a cloud. Its internal structure was peculiar and it exhibited iridescence. Many papers have been published in journals such as Weatherwise, and Science, books on meteorology, encyclopaedia year books, and articles have appeared in the international press but to this day scientists have been unable to find a satisfactory explanation for this Supernatural phenomenon. Jesus said, "When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, for your redemption draws nigh."

According to his visions from the Lord, Brother Branham said that Hoffman's "Head of Christ at 33" was a perfect likeness of Jesus: : 

According to his visions from the Lord, Brother Branham said that Hoffman's "Head of Christ at 33" was a perfect likeness of Jesus: We superimposed the Cloud over Hoffman's painting to simulate how He appeared to Daniel and John who saw Him in visions set after the Church Ages and His Mediatorial Office were fulfilled. He was wigged as a Judge, looking down on the Western world that has rejected and put Him out of the churches—or "walled cities" that bear His Name—as the Eastern world rejected and crucified Him outside the walls of Jerusalem.

Slide 67: 

Have you recognized this sign and its significance to you personally?—to time, and to the world? Christians walk by faith, not by sight. We look not to see the glorified Man with our natural eyes, but for a clear revelation of the fullness of the Word by the eyes of faith. "Faith is the confident assurance of the actual existence of things hoped for, the conviction of unseen realities. . . By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:1, 5-6). Enoch was one man called out of the seventh generation from the first Adam and translated before the world was cleansed by water; a type of Christ's end-time Bride called out of the seventh generation from the last Adam to be translated before the world is cleansed by fire. Noah and his family type the non-elect, who will be cleansed through the great tribulation. Mrs. Noah was physical Serpent's seed, and types those who are not in the Book of Life, and lost. Ham types the unbeliever or spiritual Serpent's seed who hear and reject the Word for their day and will be judged after the Millennium. The purpose of this Message is to clothe Christ's Bride with the righteousness of undoubting faith possessed by Enoch, that we too may please God and be translated.

Slide 68: 

While the Church Age saints are putting on glorified flesh, we will be despised and rejected by the world because the testimony of our revelation will be hated by those who are lost, and feared by those who understand only this world system. Hunted and persecuted, without means or succour, we will call upon faith to transform unseen necessities into substance. Then what we say, God will do—personally vindicating that we are His children—raising invincible faith in us for the body change. Faith that enables us to see beyond the veil of flesh, so that after our Church Age brethren have resurrected in glorified flesh, we will recognize one who has gone before. Their appearance will supercharge our faith to receive translation grace, and instantly changing in the atoms we'll pass into the sixth dimension in glorified, materialized Spirit and be caught up together with them in the Shekinah, to meet the Lord in the air. Like Christ's resurrection and His second Coming, our translation will be the manifestation of the faith of Jesus Christ in us.

Slide 69: 

Please notice that the mystery of God is illustrated by symbols. When the disciples asked, "What will be the sign of the end of the ages or dispensations," they were inquiring how Israelites would recognize the commencement of the seventieth and final week of years determined for the redemption of the elect of the pure blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jesus replied with the parable of the fig tree, which is the symbol of Israel. "When you see the state of Israel restored in the Promised Land, you know that summer is nigh [with its Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Feast of Ingathering 144,000 elect Israelites] . . . I assure you this generation will not die out until the Spiritual antitypes of these natural feasts are fulfilled" (Matthew 24:3, 32-34). Jesus confirmed that Israel is God's timepiece (Daniel 9:24-27). Since God deals with natural Israel as a nation, their Covenant is of no effect outside the land: the state had to be restored as a prerequisite to the redemption of the 144,000 in whom the Shekinah will dwell as His Millennium temple—after they recognize His 'parousia' Coming to old Jerusalem—as revealed to Daniel in prayer and Ezekiel in visions. Their redemption will usher in the Millennium wherein the Kingdom is restored to an Israel governed with "everlasting righteousness" by David's greater Son, King Jesus Christ and His Gentile Queen, the elect Church of all ages. Then "earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah 11:9).

Slide 70: 

The Coming of the Son of man to Israel in the Day of the Lord after the end of the dispensations will not be a physical or 'erchomai' Coming. The elect will see Him by Spiritual faith, not natural sight. As Joseph hid his Gentile bride in the palace before he revealed Himself to his brethren, Christ's Gentile Bride will be taken into glory before He reveals Himself to Israel. Dismissed from His presence and cast into outer darkness, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth among the foolish virgin and other Gentiles who are saved but must endure the trials and persecutions wrought by spiritual Babylon. The 144,000 "will ask Jesus, What are these wounds in your hands? And He'll answer, those with which I was wounded in the house of My friends." Condemned as a false prophet, He was thrust through the bones of His hands in retribution as one who tried to "thrust Israel away" from the Lord. Zechariah 14 says, "His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east. . ." Yet they will not see the Man or His scarred hands, and His precious feet won't touch this earth until He returns with the saints of all Ages—including these elect Israelites—to step out on the ashes of the wicked for a thousand years of peace (Isaiah 24:22; Malachi 4:1-3; Revelation 20:3, 7).

Slide 71: 

These are symbols as Revelation 10:1-6 was a symbol. And as the revelation of the Seven Seals introduced Christ's second Coming in WORD form to His end-time Bride through the "Elijah" of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7, the revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries by the "Moses" and "Elijah" of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11, will introduce the Son of man in WORD form to true natural Israel. II Corinthians 3:12-18, "Possessed of the hope of permanent glory, we preach with great boldness, and don't act like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze upon the end of the vanishing splendour which had been upon it. Not only was Moses' face veiled, but their minds, grown hard and calloused, having lost the power of understanding, were veiled and blinded too. Even in this present day when the Old Covenant is read their hearts and minds are covered by a dense veil, not being lifted up to reveal that by faith in Christ it is made void and done away. Nevertheless whenever one turns in repentance to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is emancipation from the bondage of trying to earn salvation through self-works of the Law. But we Christians, with unveiled face can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord, because we continue to walk in the Light of the present Truth, being transfigured into His image from one degree of glory to another, by the Spirit of the Lord". When true natural Israel learns the Christian walk, all Israel will be saved—all 144,000! Christ's second Coming and the rapture are by grace through faith.

Slide 72: 

The state of Israel was re-established in unbelief as a geopolitical strategy of non-Israelites whose objective is to establish Lucifer's totalitarian one world government. Both Testaments agree Israel will be ruled by non-Semitic people unto the consummation, thus her citizens are predominantly non-Semitic self-styled Jews or usurpers, and Semitic Palestinians (Daniel 9:27; Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2, 8). "But we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose," and however it happened, the state had to be restored because Israel's Covenant is of no effect outside the promised land. As Hittites and Canaanites built the infrastructure for Israel's initial colonization, they have built the infrastructure for the return of Israel and Judah from the ancient Assyrian empire in Daniel's Seventieth Week for redemption as prophesied in Jeremiah 3:12, 18; 50:4; Isaiah 11:11; Ezekiel 39:25-29; Hosea 3:5; Zechariah 10, etc., The restoration of Israel in 1948 was a sign warning of judgment to follow in the manifestation of the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet that will mark the end of the Gentile dispensation, the dawning of the Day of the Lord and the commencement of Daniel's Seventieth Week. This is also called "the time of Jacob's trouble" and the "great tribulation." It may be later than you think, because the end-time began when Christ opened the Seven Seals in March, 1963. This brought Him back to earth "as a thief in the night." This was His second or 'parousia' Coming to us Gentiles.

Slide 73: 

Christ's mediation ended in 1963 and the world church system, which knows nothing of this, is worshipping in vain. Jesus said the denominations—even those within the circle of this Message—are apostate and know it not. These congregations are in ignorance either because they are slothful and possess the "letter" but not the revelation of the Message, or because you and I have not shared the Message of the hour and its revelation, or because they've rejected God's prophet, and without a messenger they can have no Message. Without a prophet there can be no second or 'parousia' Coming, for God's WORD comes only to a prophet, and Jesus told us not to look for His physical or 'erchomai' Coming, but for the WORD (II Peter 1:21; Matthew 24:22-28). Whoever that prophet-messenger was he has fulfilled his commission, passed from this life, and will not return to this existence. Your new birth is dependant upon you recognizing your day and its Message and becoming a written epistle of that part of God's unchanging Word. Amos 3:7, "Truly the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secret to His servants the prophets." Joel, Malachi, Jesus, Matthew, Luke, Peter and John all foresaw the visitation of a covenant prophet before the end of our dispensation whose ministry would restore the apostolic faith, "finish the mystery of God," introduce the second Coming of the WORD, and call God's people out from the world church system into agreement with the fullness of the Word for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
