World’s Money Crisis in Prophecy –
Wrath of the Dragon
CHAPTER FIVE
Revelation 12: 17 <And the dragon was wroth with the
woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the
commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.>
Daniel 8: 23-25 <And in the latter time of their
kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce
countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own
power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and
shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to
prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace
shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but
he shall be broken without hand.>.
May the Lord add the blessing to the reading of His Holy words;
you may be seated. Amen! Well, with God’s grace we are here tonight again on
the last day of our meetings and like the one leper we return thanks unto the
Lord. Well, that passed so quickly, we feel like if we are in a seals
atmosphere, I believe we are getting ready. So we want these tapes to go far
and wide, give it to your relatives, give it to unsaved people, give it to your
families, give it to message believers, give it out to everybody, they must be
warned. That is why we make it available and as I said, if you have questions
pertaining to these subjects let them come in by Sunday please, we will try to
get it. We have a bulk of questions that are not yet answered, we would lay it
back a little bit and get our attention on these. I want to thank the Lord for
the transcribers, all these messages they are quickly transcribing and they are
about finished, so as soon as we finish preach here we will start attending to
the book, hot on the press. So it will go out and go on the internet and I am
sure that the pope will be reading. His name is Ratzinger.
So tonight the one that we read about he shall destroy
wonderfully in a time of peace, and a king of fierce countenance shall arise,
that’s the one. But it may not be this pope; it got to be another superman. He
might be a younger pope and Brother Branham’s suggestion is that he may be
taken out of United States. So we are waiting and watching, I believe it is
going to be a younger man with much more brilliance, this pope is laying the
foundation.
So we are back on our subject and tonight might be the
last of it, and I just want to sort of round up certain things and bring it to
your attention. I will lay heavy emphasis tonight on the wrath of the dragon in
relation to the foolish virgins. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, now
that dragon is Rome and the pope representing Rome, and that wrath that came
out of Rome actually transferred to USA doing the biddings of the dragon and
also to the image of the beast. So when it speaks of the wrath of the dragon,
you are talking about the whole world, the one-world government and the one-world
church, and that wrath is actually against the bride of Christ, you and I
because we really stir the waters, we trouble the nest and he was really trying
to get us but then we slipped out. Now with the persecution that will be upon
the earth, there is only one door of escape and that is up. There isn’t a
hiding place anywhere upon earth. Run to the four corners, dig a hole and go
down, there is no escape, it is up, that’s the only way of escape and God made
that way of escape for the bride of Christ.
So again our subject is on “World’s Money Crisis in
Prophecy” and I trust that you have seen this in prophecy. And tonight we will
speak not on the wrath of the Lamb but “The wrath of the dragon.” But there is
somebody who is a little more vex than him, so it is the Wrath of the Lamb versus the wrath of the dragon. The Bible said
that the Lamb got vex too. So it is not only the pope got vex, but the wrath of
the Lamb and when he got vex all those merchants and the rich men ran to the
mountains, Revelation 6, and they ran to the mountains and they said hide us
from the wrath of the Lamb, mountain cover us and hide us from the wrath of the
Lamb.
SALVATION OF THE SOUL
So we will deal with
that a little bit and fold up this message. But peradventure that there is
somebody in here, some little boy, some little girl, some visitor that does not
understand what this is all about, I want to edify you for a minute. Why are we
so concerned about the money crisis and what will happen upon the earth and the
solution they would come to and a one-world church and a one-world government,
why are we so concerned about that? Even because we believe that after this
life is over here we live on. And you as a child or visitor, I want you to know
that within this body lies a soul, and the soul is not going to die together
with the body. And then you are a sinner, you are born sinners and that soul
must be saved, it must be redeemed, because you were born as a sinner and you
committed sin, you are not paying for somebody else’s sin, you committed sin.
From the time that you grew up, you became an adult, you committed sin;
fornication, adultery, lying, stealing and cheating, and for those sins you were
supposed to go to a place called Hell, a place of torment, and after that you
were to be judged and cast into a lake of fire and burn there for millions of
years. But then God rich in mercy, he came by to offer mankind pardon for their
sins, and that God was made a man, his name was Jesus. Now Jesus, the flesh,
the body, was not God but God was living in Jesus and in order for God to
appear to man he took on human form and when he came here to save you and I,
God went to the cross in body form and was crucified. And to show you his
purpose here upon earth, there was one thief who repented on the cross, on
another cross next to him and he said remember me when thou comest into your
kingdom, and our Lord Jesus said, this day thou shall be with me in paradise.
And another fellow rejected it and he went down to hell, and the thief that
repented went down to paradise which is a place of peace. Now since the blood
of Jesus was shed on the cross this offer is unto every human being upon the
earth, there is none righteous no not one. So this offer is to you if you are a
visitor and if you are a child here, you don’t just come to church to be
churchy or come with your mother and father. You have a little soul down inside
of there that needs saving and if you are not saved your soul will go down to
hell. And the same thing, a man could be of age, ninety years of age and have
never heard the gospel story, he’s like a child, and I am saying that to them,
that you have a soul my friend and although this body become old and frail
there is a soul down in there to be saved, and the Lord Jesus can save you, and
when your soul leaves the body, then your soul will be young again and you will
enter into a place of peace. But then if your soul is not saved it is going to
enter into the regions of the lost, a place where the devil will torment you.
So the offer is to you to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of all your sins. All that you done for a hundred years or
five hundred years if you are so old, you could be forgiven by repentance and
calling out upon the Lord. It doesn’t matter what is the sin that you
committed, you could have your sins forgiven and you could be baptized in
Christian baptism and have all your sins washed away.
The reason that we
are gathered here for all these nights and we still want more is because we
took up that offer and we confessed our sins. After we confessed our sins, our
habits left us, we did not leave our habits. Listen, we were drunkards,
smokers, gamblers, cuss-birds, wearing miniskirts, high heel shoes, chopping of
the hair of the women, living in adultery and fornication. So don’t think that
you came amongst a bunch of angels, we were some nasty wretched people but God
saved us by his grace. Somebody can bear witness to that. Everyone of us, we were
like you sinners there tonight and who will be hearing this tape abroad, and
then it doesn’t matter that we look so clean and so holy and everything like
that, we were wicked people and God came by and cleansed us from our sins. And
how do we know that he cleansed us from out sins, we have no taste for the rum,
we have no taste for cigarette, we have no taste for cursing, we have no taste
for the worldly music, we hate them things now, we hate this world and we hate
all the vices of the world. So that’s the evidence that God done a work in our
hearts, and not only that, but we are bound for a new kingdom to come. You
could come and join us, it doesn’t matter what kind of a sinner that you are,
who you are, what you lived, what you confess, you can come and join us in this
assembly and be born into the kingdom of God.
I believe that
that’s a nice offer, if I was a sinner, after hearing something like that I
will repent tonight. Now, if you were sinners, won’t you repent tonight,
especially after hearing it so simple? I never heard it so simple, nobody told
me that I had a soul until I read it in the Bible around the age of seventeen
or eighteen, not a person told me that. But when I realized I had a soul, I said
this soul must be saved, I don’t want to go to the place called hell, I want to
enjoy something that is good and something that is holy and I went into the
water and I said, Lord I give my soul to you and he took it, and that is what
have me standing here preaching today, after forty something years I am still
standing and I don’t have the taste for alcohol, I don’t have taste for
tobacco, I don’t have the taste to curse or thief or rob somebody, or fool
somebody, all the desire that I have is to see another soul enter into the
kingdom of God. The desire that I have is to see each one of you go in the
rapture and escape the wrath and judgments of God. Oh yes!
Recession & Depression
So money crisis,
what is going on in the world, money crisis, money is running out? All that
means is that they have a great slow down of trade around the world, and when
we have a slow down of trade then what happen, goods are not selling, then
there is no reason for the factories to make cars or produce their goods,
people are not buying for some reason and there is some technicalities there
concerning the money, so you call that a recession. And when you have a
recession and such trade slow down then the banks will start closing because
people are not making enough money to put in the bank, and what they loaned
from the bank, the people cannot pay, so it shuts the banks down and when they
shut down, they shut down with your money in it because they loaned your money
and cannot get it back. Just like the man who stole fifty billion dollars, that
manifest itself in those big countries like Japan and all those people who
invested in America. They are bawling for their money, the man stole fifty billion dollars. Brother Peter
told me the man is a Jew. I told you that these men are Wall Street crooks. He
belongs to Wall Street. These Jews are Wall Street crooks. Stole the people
money and have all of them bawling. So now when they give loans out from the
bank, whose money do you think that they are using? They took your money and
lend it to a man to open a factory, to import certain things, they employed it
in the car industry. So when the car industry goes down the bank cannot get
back the money, and if the bank cannot get back the money, you lost your money.
So when they fold it up and it really come down to what you call a depression
then they will tell you the truth, they will say what happened is the bank
failed and the stock market crashed and you could get back five cents on a
dollar. You say, “Well, thank you; if I could even get five cents I will take
it.” After a little while they’ll say it’s finished; you cannot get any. So you
have to go and dig yams and potatoes and you better be putting some little
thing in the garden. And when such chain reaction takes place you are going to
have a lot of stealing, more violence, more killing like in Jamaica where there
are sixteen hundred deaths for one year through violence, you are talking about
sixteen hundred murders in a small island like that. So it causes a chain reaction.
Trade control, authority to kill
So now trade has to do with buying and selling. Now what we are saying
for the past nights is that this world money crisis has a great prophecy in the
Bible. Because of the slow down of trade something will happen where they will
control trade from Rome. In Rome will have the World Trade Centre and in order for men to trade they will have to
pay a certain price. And that is they will make all religions one and all
nations will come together, so you call that a one-world government and a one-world
church, and you will have to belong to that in order to buy or sell or to even
live in this world, and everybody that will not join that one-world government
and one-world church will be put to death. If you don’t believe me, you read
Revelation 13, and whosoever shall not worship the image of the beast shall be
put to death, that’s what the Bible say. It sounds far fetched now but America
will authorize that, that American nation that everybody love, that God cursed,
America is a cursed nation, the proudest nation upon earth who rejected the
prophet of God. That nation will authorize
this killing of people throughout the world for not worshipping that image
and worshipping the Pope. And when we talk about worship we are not talking
about bowing down and saying holy, holy, holy, we are talking about joining, we
are talking about belonging, we are talking about accepting, so you accept that
thing.
So this money crisis that we are seeing here today,
people don’t understand what is happening but in the Bible it is prophesied
that a time will come like that on the earth and then trade will be controlled
by Rome and be controlled by America. So now this thing is heading to a great,
great time upon the earth where billions of people will be lost. Let me repeat
that, because of this money crisis the end result of it is that billions of people would lose their souls
like I just talked about a soul, people will lose their souls because they are
going to join the Roman Catholic faith, they are going to join the World
Council of Churches, they are going to worship a man called the Pope, and
billions of people will be lost for that and they are going to take a
membership into that great union. In Bible terminology it is called the mark of
the beast. If you don’t understand mark of the beast leave it alone, get the
other tapes. But because you belong to that then you will be lost, your soul is
cut off; you are going through the tribulation, down to hell and unto the lake
of fire. That is the truth of it. So this is not so easy as we are looking at
it, world’s money crisis and just now they are going to start rolling again and
everything is going to fix up. This has a certain solution, the solution is the
World Council of Churches, the solution
is the pope coming to backup the money. And in order for him to do that people
will have to pay with their souls. The leaders will pay with their souls, the
politicians pay with their souls, men and women pay with their souls, the
educators and everybody pay with their souls for bread. The wrath of the dragon
is ready to be belched forth upon the earth.
So last night we dealt with the subject of what we the
elect will see. Now when I say bride I mean God’s chosen people. We don’t have
a wedding and somebody is going to get married, I am talking about the chosen
people of God in the first class that would actually leave the earth. So the
bride of Christ has a promise over in Revelation 3:10, we have a promise that
God will keep us from the hour of temptation which shall come upon the whole
world to try them. Let us think on that, this is something, this world’s money
crisis is going to bring about a certain temptation to try every human being on
earth the Bible said. In page 361 of the Seven Church Ages, the prophet of God
said, that great temptation comes by the World Council of Churches and Rome. So
think of how vast this is, that this money crisis is going to lead to a great
temptation of the entire world, six and a half billion people living now upon
the face of the earth will be tried with that money, for the love of money is
the root of all evil.
Bride Kept from the hour of temptation by outpouring
So now, think about how vast this is, that this money crisis is going to
lead to a great temptation of the entire world. Six and a half billion people
living now upon the face of the earth will be tried with that money.
I Timothy 6: 10
<For the love of money is the root of all evil...>
How many people out of the six and a
half billion people will be saved, beloved? How many will stand and say, “No,
we are not going to take that because we love God and we love salvation. So we
prefer to serve God than to go down to hell.”? How many people...? It is going
to be a handful. And our Lord Jesus said, “Few there be that find it.”
There are going to
be billions of pretty women in there
and billions of handsome men. I am telling you the truth. Beauty is vain. You
could be pretty like the moon; you have a soul down in you and it needs to be
saved. If it is not saved you are going down to hell. You could be educated
like the pope; you are going down to hell. You could be rich like Onassis of
old and you are not saved, you are going down to hell. This is what I am
talking about.
This money crisis
is leading the people into a trap. I
want you to understand and understand this clearly, if I speak on this for the
last time that this money crisis is leading to something called the great
temptation that will try every man upon the face of the earth. It will try the
foolish virgins. It will try the Jews. It will try the Bride. And you heard
about that last night. You understand what your trial is.
The prophet of God
said on, “Church Ages,” page 361,
“After a short, quick, powerful demonstration of the Spirit.” Showing you that
there is power to come to the Bride and great demonstration. “This hunted,
persecuted Bride will go to be with the Lord.” There we are. That is our
promise. And it is promised right there in that scripture: “I will keep thee
from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the whole world, to try
them.”
Quote W.M.B.: 361-1Remember we have shown clearly all
through the ages that even as Adam and Eve fell because they left the Word, so
the Ephesian Age fell by turning slightly from the Word, until with every age
continuing to turn away, we have a final repudiation of the Word by the World
Church system. This Laodicean Age ends in a blackout of the Word, thereby
causing a departure of the Lord from the midst. He stands outside calling to
His own who follow Him by obedience to the Word. After a short and powerful demonstration of the Spirit
this little hunted and persecuted group will go to be with Jesus. (Laodicean
Church Age – Church Age Book Cpt.9).
It is going to try
every rich man. It is going to try every merchant. It is going to try every
educated person. It is going to try the scientists. It is going to every
church. It is going to try every message believer. It is going to try every
political leader upon the earth, every king and every monarch. But I want to
tell you that the Bride is going to stand the test and be kept from the hour of
temptation.
Now, there is a
secret by which the Bride will be kept, and we read it last night. There is no
way for you to resist this power that is coming on the earth outside of you
yourself having great power. And we are promised here an Outpouring of the Holy
Spirit. And for the Lord to see us through before the image of the beast is
formed and all the churches come together as a unit, the prophet of God said
that the rain will fall and the Spirit will fall. I believe that. If that does not
happen, we cannot stand up against the world council of churches. So, I could
see the logic in it, I could see the sense in it that the rain is going to fall just before the complete formation of the
world council of churches. I thank God that He is sending a power to keep us
from the hour of temptation. Yes. He is going to keep us from the hour of
temptation. Why? Because we were keeping the Word of His patience.
There is a people,
the Bride will be looking for another outpouring,
and she will be patiently waiting on the coming of the Lord, and patiently
purging out her sins and working out her salvation and be desperately serving
the Lord. She will be doing that. Because we are keeping the Word of His
patience. We are keeping the message. We are keeping the holiness standard, and
we are preparing our lives and we are patiently waiting on the Promise like
Abraham. The Bible said, “And after Abraham patiently waited on the promise he
received the promise.”
Luke 21: 19 <In your patience possess ye your souls.>
Outpouring at persecution
Now, we are talking
about the power of God. Right? So the power of God did come. After looking for
this, there is some time around that tightening up of the council, the Token is
going to come, the outpouring is going to come. That is for the Lord to keep us
from the hour of temptation. I cannot tell you the year, I cannot tell you the
day, I cannot tell you the time but I am only relying upon His promise. How do
I know when the Token is about to come? I must keep my eyes upon how strong the
temptation is getting. Oh my! Listen to what I am saying. Some of you haven’t woke
up yet. How can I average when the Token
is coming? This Token is going to keep me from this hour of temptation,
which is to try all people upon the face of the earth. If I keep my eyes upon
the temptation that is coming and see how close it is coming to me, before it
becomes overbearing the Token will come, the outpouring is going to come
because the Lord will not suffer us to be tempted more than we could bear, but
with the temptation thereof He makes a way of escape. That is our signpost.
I Corinthians 10: 13 <There hath no temptation
taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not
suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.>
So, another thing
we must keep our eyes upon is, don’t matter what happens upon the earth you got
to keep your eyes upon God’s timepiece. You know what God’s timepiece is. His
timepiece is Israel. Don’t matter what is going on around you, you got to watch
certain signs. You have to watch the money crisis, you watch what is happening
here and then you watch God’s timepiece,
so there are certain things you got to do. You got to watch what is happening
in America, watch what is happening to the Presidency, and there are certain
things you got to watch to understand what is happening.
You have to keep
your eyes upon the temptation that is coming and how fast they are folding up,
and you will know that the outpouring is right at hand. You say, “How do you
know that, preacher?” There arose a persecution against Jesus and His apostles.
Come on! [Congregation says, “Amen!”]
The apostles fled naked and they crucified our Lord. That was great temptation
to the church. It was a sign of the Token. It was signifying that the kingdom
of God was now at hand. He said, “Tarry ye in Jerusalem, until ye be endued
with power from on high, then shall ye be my witnesses.” So now, there was a persecution that started, and that
persecution that started, beloved, it did take the life of our Lord. It caused
the disciples to scatter, and what happened there was that the Token came not
many days hence. Yes.
Keep your eyes
open. Keep watching. Keep looking. You got to be desperate or perish. That is
what the Bible said. All right!
So, we concluded
last night that the Token did come, the outpouring did come. By the time the
devil comes to squeeze us, and close our churches down, and demands a license
and has already taken away our jobs, our properties, houses and lands and our
moneys, he took it away already, and we cannot feed our families, then God has
to come. The Lord must come and make the prayer that He taught us, alive. “Give
us this day our daily bread...” Yes. Not our weekly supply. Not our monthly
supply. “Give us this day our daily bread.”
So now, the church
is going to be endued with dynamic power. God is going to raise up an army. You
will find that in Joel 2. He is going to raise up an army. The prophet of God
prophesied of that in, “Speak To This
Mountain.” Is that right? [Congregation
says, “Amen!”] He said, “The church of God is going to rise like a mighty
marching army. The sick will be healed by a word.” Yes. So now, the spoken Word ministry will be in
action at that time. He said, “The dead will be raised up; the gospel will be
preached.” And that is connecting the speak the Word ministry. So now, your
speak the Word ministry comes along with the Token. Now, if you do not
understand it. The vindication of the
Bride of Christ will be the speak the Word ministry. That is lovely what I
am saying.
Quote W.M.B.: E-62
I believe that the church of the living God is moving into a sphere now that's
going to shake the whole world. That's the first time it's been since the days
of Jesus of Nazareth to a human being. "Ask anything that you will, and it shall be given unto you,
anything you desire." Don't you see the words of Jesus Christ being
fulfilled? Oh, it's going to come to pass pretty soon. I'm looking for it to
happen in this meeting. I'm wanting it to happen now, that that anointing will strike the whole church
of the living God, and she'll rise to her feet like a mighty marching army. The
sick will be healed by a word; the blind will see; the deaf will hear; the dead
will be raised up; and the power of God will shake the world with the church of
the living God. We're in the process of it now. I believe it's soon coming to
pass. I believe it will be just exactly
that way. I believe it's going to strike the church of God soon, and it's
going to start a revival that'll
shake the world. I believe it. (Speak
To This Mountain 59-1123).
Capstone – 3rd pull vindication –
judgement
The third pull vindicated Brother Branham’s ministry
and it crowned it off. But this Bride will be different from all other churches
that ever existed on the earth, and she is given the speak the Word ministry to
vindicate her ministry. So a lot of things will be happening by the spoken
Word. She is given that so that the rest of the Bride in the message assembly
will recognize that we have the truth,
because they saw and heard that demonstrated with the prophet. So now, when we
come with that ministry, speaking things into existence, then they will say,
“That is the third pull.” And they will come out. So now, that is Joel’s army
in action, God’s army using the vindication of the third pull. At that time
when you get the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, you are perfected. You will
need these things in the days to come. I may not be around. I am telling you
that. Friends, when that comes, brothers and sisters, that is when the Bride
becomes perfected. That is your capstone.
That is why we have that drawing out here. [Ed.
Reference to the Pyramid drawing.] The body was being prepared. That
capstone up there that is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and it will come
upon you. Yes, my friends. When that comes upon you, you are perfected. That is
the perfection of the Bride.
You say, “Brother
Bruce, why will you not be around?” Even because you do not need a pastor.
Every soul that receives that outpouring of the Holy Spirit gets another
pastor, and that pastor: “The Lord is my shepherd.” Yes. Friends, I do not know
where I will be and I do not know where you will be. The church will be scattered. Bethel will be closed down and you
will go to your ministry, including the sisters. They have certain things to
do. We may not meet each other until the time of the rapture. We will only hear
the news out there that one fellow won half a million souls in a certain place,
and that little fellow who used to sit down in the congregation and listen to
Brother Bruce he won a hundred thousand out there. Another fellow won one
million in Africa. I am telling you, brothers and sisters. And that is a small
amount. Yes. We will be scattered. We do not know where the Lord will send us.
So now, there will be dynamic power.
I am tying up a lot
of things right here to show you what the great outpouring must come for. It must come to save us from the hour of
temptation. The outpouring comes to bring Joel’s army into action, Joel 2. It
brings the third pull into manifestation. The outpouring brings the Bride to
perfection. And not forgetting, friends, it brings the manifested sons on the
scene with a judgement ministry.
This is going to be
the judgement ministry of the Son of man. “Will The Church Go Through The
Tribulation,” the prophet of God said, “The
Son of man that was revealed in mercy will be revealed in judgement to take
vengeance upon all rejecters of the message.” That is your judgement
ministry that is coming. You are talking about dynamic things happening,
judgements that you never thought about before, and judgement will begin at the
House of God. Yes. Ananias and Sapphira showdown: that will begin at the House
of God and then go out there. When it goes out there, all those that mock and
scoff at another outpouring, mock and scoff at this revelation, you will have
people dying like flies. The Lord will have to kill some of those preachers in order
to release the people that are bound under their ministry. A lot of big names
right now that have the Bride of Christ all locked up behind ten inch thick
bars. This is the time that the ten inch thick bars will be broken. Right here
on this spot, when the Bride comes to the great temptation, the Lord will break
the prison bars and bring deliverance to the people. Now, do you see how
everything is coming up there?
Just before the
great hour of temptation a lot of things will be fulfilled. I will put this
here: this is where the white horse rider will ride. This is where the white
horse rider will ride and drive the impersonators off the trail, when the power
of God comes. Do you see how many things are being fulfilled? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Those
things could never be fulfilled without another outpouring.
Now, that exposes all the impersonators on the
field today like Santiago, like Mr. Vin Dayal, like Dr. Frank and like all who
claim that they are in some great ministry. They are liars. They cannot come
into manifestation until another Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, so they are
exposed. When the real thing comes now, they will be driven off the trail by
the manifested sons of God. My God, to think of these sons of God, these
manifested sons of God on the earth, packed up and sealed and an angel guiding
them, Brother Branham said. Stand still at their post of duty. They are going
to be great upon the face of the earth. That is when the Voice will shake the
earth. The voice of the white horse rider shook the earth. That is the time,
right there at the outpouring. Everything is tied up in the outpouring. It will
shake the world by that voice.
7 THUNDERS REVEALED TO PUBLIC; 3RD PULL
IDENTIFIES IT
You say, “What is that you are talking about? Don’t
forget something that’s happening here. Around that same time the seven
thunders will be broken to the public. That is where it comes in. The seven
thunders will be broken to the public. The
seven thunders that was in secret, had people trained, had people with a
full revelation of the Word, and it is now broken to the public. If it is in
the Arabian Desert or the Sahara Desert, God was growing a crop in the back
part of the desert. When the outpouring comes those people will be made
manifest, and the third pull will vindicate that they have the seven
thunders.
You say, “How will the third pull vindicate the seven
thunders?” Because they are one and the same. When the third pull is manifested
it will vindicate who has the seven thunders. And they will have a speak the
Word ministry. The prophet of God said, “If they want to call for a billion
tons of fleas it will be there.” It is a speak the Word ministry.
The seven thunders
is accompanied by a speak the Word ministry. And all who claim to have the
thunders presently around the world and cannot prove it by the spoken Word
ministry, are found impersonators. They are liars. They are a bunch of
hypocrites. And this ministry is going out there to meet them.
So, the third pull identifies the seven
thunders. It identifies the latter rain. It identifies the Bride of Christ. It
identifies Revelation 10: 1. And about that time, Revelation 10: 1, the mighty
one, Christ is getting ready to go over to Israel. So He is dealing with the
Bride.
A lot of judgement
will take place. What will this do? This is called the ministry of the Bride.
And the Bride in action: there will be dynamic power, which I cannot elaborate
on hear tonight, but great power, great signs and great wonders. They will call
the elected out of organizations. They will call the elected Bride out of the
plain message. Ever assembly that follows this message has at least one member
of the Bride, so too in the organizations. God will extend His hands of mercy.
And when they see the manifestation of the Bride of God they will come out.
Now,
those people, because of their desperation, their love for God and the way how
they served Him in whatever organization or whatever place they are in the
plain message, God will honour their
faith and will give them the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, like the house
of Cornelius. Don’t doubt it. Like those at Ephesus. They were looking for
something in expectation. And those people, God will give them special grace to
receive the Token just then.
Those who had been
hearing the Word of God before them for many years and never surrendered their
hearts, beloved, could be left out, and those people down there could be taken
in. “The last shall be first and the first last.”
So that means that we alone are not the Bride of Christ. Those that
receive the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the first rush, they alone are not
the Bride. A lot of the Bride presently are behind ten inch thick bars, and was
promised an hour of deliverance. That hour of deliverance is going to come by
Revelation 10: 1, with a rainbow light flashing inside of the prison. It is
going to come by the spoken Word. The prophet of God said, “House of hell give
way!” because his arms were too small to break the bars. The first and second
pull could not break the bars, but the third-pull
broke the bars. Oh my, we are getting into some deep teachings here, but
brothers and sisters, it is the truth and we got to line up these things.
People who think
that all was in Brother Branham, and there is no more power coming to the
church and all is over, they are lost already. This great outpouring will come
and they will not receive it. There are people are going to come from the
outside and receive it; and these will be left out, even because of their
unbelief.
The first generation
that followed Moses and was heading to the Promised Land, died in the
wilderness because of their unbelief. But there was a generation that was born
on the way and they entered the Promised Land, because they had the faith. It
is going to be repeated the same way.
Unsurrendered lives – foolish
virgins
So now, something
sad is going to happen here, and that is, in that calling out and when that
great outpouring comes, there is going to be a bunch of people who did not surrender their lives wherever they
were. In organization, they were church members. In the message assemblies,
they joined the message and all they were thinking about is this world and
became gospel hardened. Nothing moved them. Every service was the same to them.
They sat under this truth and every message was the same. It never moved them,
not even these messages that I am preaching. Soon after the service was over
they were about their merry way and in their own lives and every single thing.
So now, it is a certain attitude. These people had a choice to serve God in
Spirit and truth and surrender their all, just like you and I. But these people
chose to walk in their self-will. They chose to rule their husbands. They chose
to cower-down under their wives. They chose to let children be their
oppressors. Yes. They chose to believe what they what, come to church when they
want and happy-go-lucky and nothing moved them.
These people are
classified as the foolish virgins. Not that God made you a foolish virgin, but
you made yourself a foolish virgin. Why foolish virgins? Because you were a
fool not to hear the Word, and not to take heed to the Word of God and not to
be desperate after Life more than anything else upon the earth. That makes you
a fool. You will be a big fool to sit down here, hear what I am saying, don’t
pay attention to it and say, “Look, I have to get this woman. I have to get
this man. I do not have time to hear what Bruce is saying every night. He is
saying that forty years ago and nothing has happened. I have enough time to go
and commit fornication and come back.” You will pay with your soul.
Don’t you know that
you must be prepared to face this great temptation, and the preparation is
total surrender? [Congregation says,
“Amen!”] I am again going to forget about birth, baptism, revelation and
Token. All that I am saying is, to be prepared to face this great temptation is
to come down your high ladder, and forget what you want in this life and take
what God is offering you. Come right down and surrender and say, “Lord, I have resigned to eternal life. I want life
above everything. I am a helpless man, help me.” If you do not come to that
place, friend, you will not make it. You will not be born again. You will not
get a revelation. You will not get the Token. You have to come down to that
place of total surrender. You cannot tell me that you do not know if you are
surrendered or not. Every man knows his heart. You must know if you are
surrendered or not.
These kinds of
people will be sitting in the church of God, a lot of them. A lot of them will
come from the plain message, now catch themselves and come out. A lot of them
will be coming even as sinners but they are not too careful about Life. They
sat and heard like natural people but they were never desperate. “Yes, it is a
good thing to join a church. I guess it is a nice thing.” But they never sought
after Life with a total surrender.
So now, look at
what is happening here. By this time the dragon is wroth. Rome is wroth. United
States is wroth. The world council of churches coming together is wroth. They
are wrathful. They want to get us with the Token. They want to get these people
with the Token. They want to get these people with the seven thunders. They
want to get these people with the third-pull ministry. They want to get these
people with the seven thunders. They want these people that are burning up
those that were sent out to catch them. Oh yes. They sent out an army, they
sent out the police and certain people burnt them. They called for a plague and
the plague just went through the whole army. This report went to the pope, it
went to the W.C.C., it went to the United States and they enact laws right away
to get those people and kill them immediately. Hear what the Bible said, “And
the dragon was wroth with the woman.” Not the foolish virgins; with the woman.
He became hateful to the Bride. He was angry with the Bride. He sent out orders
to get those people and destroy them. So he was mad with those people. He said,
“Get them, get them, get them.” Everyday he is receiving reports. There are
things like this that curses will fall upon certain cities. Didn’t Jesus say
so? [Congregation says, “Amen!”]
Mark 6:11 <And whosoever shall not receive you, nor
hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a
testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.>
Are those the
scriptures? [Congregation says, “Amen!”]
Those scriptures must come to life today. There are men that will go into
certain cities to carry the gospel in power and they will reject them, and they
will bring plagues right away upon them and they will plague that city. You will see men start dying like flies. You will
see some kind of a disease break out. And these are people that are going to
stir up the pope and they are going to want them.
Do you remember how
Moses and Elias brought down plagues and they stirred up the pope? Well, the
Bride will have that same power. “These hath power to bring down plagues on
them, as often as they will.” Where did they get that power from? The Bride
transferred that power over to the Jews.
People do not know
what is coming upon the earth, friends. There is a judgement ministry coming
upon the earth. This is the lion’s ministry. So now, the Bride is doing a lot
of things there, through judgement: plagues are falling, men are getting blind.
You say, “I believe in a merciful Jesus.”
Tell me why Paul
struck that fellow blind? He was talking to the king or the proconsul, the
deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, (Acts 13: 7), and there was a big man
out there: Elymas the sorcerer, trying to prevent the gospel (Acts 13: 8). He
said, “Though shall be blind for a season.” And the man got blind. Yes, my
friends.
There was in the ministry of Brother Branham
where people withstood him and they died. Yes. There was one man who failed to
bow his head in the third-pull ministry and Brother Branham said, “Curseth is
the man that raises his head while I am praying.”
Bride stirs wrath of rome
The third-pull will bring curses and blessings. We want the
blessings part, not the curses. This ministry is a ministry of curses and
blessings. I am telling you the truth. It is going to bring healing. It is
going to bring salvation. Yes sir. The spoken word ministry. These are the
things that will be happening.
Now, all these
things will aggravate the dragon. It will stir up Rome. Don’t forget that it
stirred them up enough already to form the world council of churches. And the
world council of churches was not able with them and could not stop them. And
they went on like that and were doing worse and worse and worse throughout the
world. And you hear the same thing happen in Africa, and the same thing in the
Philippines. Somebody is doing the same thing in America. And the pope sends
out his orders, “Get those people arrested.” And when they put them in jail
they even convert the prisoners in the jail. I am talking about apostolic
times, friends. Did it happen in the early church? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] It’s got to happen again today. Yes.
They opened the prison bars and came out. Angels come and snatch us away from
the army. It is the power of God. The third-pull is a ministry of angels.
Now, with this
great Outpouring you have upon you, you have no fear for anything. You do not
want a pastor. You do not need a pastor. Your pastor is inside of you. You
would not have to come to the office one day and say, “Brother Bruce, what
should I do about this or do about that?” You would not have to do that. There
is somebody talking to you. And you alone in a certain place and you would say,
“Lord, what to do?” He will say, “Go that way and go that way.” If that is not
enough, an angel comes and picks you up, transports you to meet the eunuch, and
when you baptize the eunuch, he will transport you to another place and tells
you to preach.
Do you think this
is a "Nancy story?" [Congregation says.] This is not a
"Nancy story" I am talking about; it is the Bible. I am talking about
the Bible. If those things happened in the early church, and this Bride is
going to have more power and she is going to be gifted with the third-pull,
blessed with the opening of the seals, she’s got to prove Christ upon the earth. Hear what the prophet called it, “A
short powerful demonstration of the Spirit, then we are going anywhere.” (Ages page 361).
And hear these
unbelieving donkeys, “All is over. There is nothing more to come. All was in
Brother Branham.” You are a liar. It has not
yet even begun. It is coming down the road. Joel’s army is coming down the
road. There is going to be a time of trouble upon the face of the earth, and
the dragon is going to get so wroth.
Now, this is what I
was going to get to. I do not have time to stay there. At this time, the
foolish virgins are without power
because they received not the Token. Oh yes, friends. They will be coming
under the wise virgins for shelter from the persecution. They are hiding under
your coat. They are numbered with us because we have three to six months. We
are going to be calling out, and we will be calling out the foolish virgins, we
are going to be calling out the elected Bride. And in the rush there, certain
people are receiving the Token, certain people are on their knees praying,
fasting and begging. Those people who did not take heed to the Word of God when
they heard it are now upon their knees. They lose their money. They lose their
properties. They lose their jobs. The same things they sold out for, the same
thing they could not come to church for: they lose their businesses, they lose
their lands, they lose their houses and now they are hanging around the Bride.
Now, they are begging the ministers, begging the brothers, “Brother, can you
help me? Brother, do you think I would get it? I have my little child with me.
I have my teenager with me. Brother, do you think I would get it?” It will be a
brother you know. It will be a sister you know. Oh, brothers and sisters, I do
not want to be radical in painting this picture but that is the truth. It is
going to be people you know. It is going to be people who were not walking
right, who were walking in their self-will all the time, who the pastor could
not talk to, who were always defending their children and always angry with the
people when they bring reports upon their children, who were angry and sitting
there and did not want to hear what the pastor was saying, and they get mad at
the pastor. Those are the kinds of people who did not surrender their spirit. If your spirit is surrendered, you will
be happy when the preacher corrects you. Yes.
Now, these people,
the Bible called them foolish virgins. I will call them by another name, for
the convenience, for your understanding. I will call them unsurrendered hearts. I feel that is a good name. And that puts
some people right here in that group. You have an unsurrendered heart. You do
not care what the Word of God say; you will fuss up, fight up and speak evil of
the Word of God. I am speaking generally around the world. When I say here, I
am talking about people that are hearing the truth.
So now, we are
defending the foolish virgins. Up to then, we are defending the foolish
virgins. Yeah, here the
army is coming to get, my brother, the foolish virgin and then these people
with the Token stand in front. And the foolish virgins step back because they
are powerless and we take the forefront and say don’t touch them at all. Yeah,
if you only touch them you die and they will respect that. They know that when
we speak it is as good as God is speaking. We will have thus saith the Lord or
we will keep still.
And these foolish virgins will be taking cover under us, yes, where we will be shielding them, and we would love them and we will be praying, “Lord let them go in the Rapture. Oh God please, please let them get the Token. Kneel down brother, please, please. Please brother, let me lay my hands upon you. Oh God, let them receive the Token. Please Lord, let them receive the Token.” Nothing happened. He starts bawling. The Bible said, “There shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
WEEPING AND WAILING & GNASHING OF TEETH
My brother, let Jesus explain to you what a great agony people are going to get into because they see the Rapture is coming so close and they are seeing that the Bride is prepared. They see the next brother received the Token. They say they seen when he got the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. They were witnesses to that. They are seeing the third-pull manifested and up to now this bunch of people by the millions did not get it.
Unsurrendered heart: a little more fornication, a little more adultery, a little more rebellion, a little more cussing, I want to be like the fellow in the school. I want to be like the next door neighbour. I think it’s taking too long to get a man. I will run out and commit fornication even though I get herpes or I get Aids, I wouldn’t die too quickly. In any case I will go away in the rapture, you liar you, you will lose your soul. You may not die right away but you going to lose your soul. And because of an unsurrendered heart you were thinking like that and acting like that and you will pay with your soul for it. You are going through the tribulation for your purging.
Now, when you go through the tribulation for your purging now, those same things are in you. The reason you did not go in the rapture is because those things are in you and you was not willing to give it up. Beloved, even when they seek the Token, they will still be holding on to those desires. Is just fear will be driving them to ask for the Token. You remember Simon the sorcerer? He still loved money and he wanted the Token. So now those people will still have those things in their lives and cherish them and want the Token with it.
You can’t get it. You got to come to a surrender. And if I were you I would surrender now. I will surrender now. I would say, “Lord, this sound so real to me, I feel like if I’m even down there but Lord, I repent now. I want to clean up now. Lord, I don’t want that happen to me now. I want to surrender. Lord, help me to surrender. I don’t know how to surrender. Lord, I want to surrender now.” Unsurrendered heart. People, that are here tonight and you have not been baptized in Christian baptism you are a sinner and you are hearing the Word and you are given a chance to repent and you put it off for tomorrow, and you put it of for next week and for next year. There may not be a next year.
We are shielding them from the wrath of the dragon. We are shielding these people. While we are upon earth we have them under our desk, we have them under our coat. My brothers and sisters, we are taking the forefront. Yes, “Run in here, brother, with your wife and children, I will face the army that is coming. Yes sir? What do you need?” “I am looking for so and so, thou man of God I’m looking for so and so.” “Well, if I’m a man of God let fire come down from heaven and roast you.” These are the kinds of things that will happen.
You say, “Jesus said that is not the spirit of Christ.” Let me correct that one time. That was when He came as a lamb. That was a lamb’s ministry and a ministry of mercy. The ministry changes at the outpouring and he now returns as a Lion. And the Lion is a judgement ministry. ‘And judgement begins at the House of God, where shall the sinner and the ungodly appear.’
I Peter 4: 17-18 <For the time is come that
judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what
shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall
the ungodly and the sinner appear? >
That’s what the Bible says. So don’t be stupid. It’s two different ministries all entirely, and that judgment ministry never started in the days of Jesus, he came as a lamb to die to bring mercy. But in the end time he comes back as a Lion to bring judgement upon unbelief. All right, I have a little ways to go.
So hear about the foolish virgins. I ain’t going to call them foolish virgins, harden people. Let me change your name, harden people. You heard the Word but you want to walk in your self will, you want some fornication, you want adultery, you want to walk in your ways, you want to be rebellious and you want to belong to church at the same time and go in the rapture at the same time. Stubborn people! Harden people, rebellious people, unsurrendered people. This is foolish virgin. Stubborn people, Laodicean people, self will people, yes, pastoring their wife and children at home and putting the same spirit upon them, they are taking them through the tribulation.
Now as we move closer to the Rapture, these people know that they are about to miss the rapture because they did not get the Token, they did not get the outpouring. Their wailing and weeping and crying will increase. You are talking about touching the heart of the preacher. You are talking about weeping on your steps. I shall make them to come and bow at your feet. Yes, can you picture it? Can you picture this scenario?
And that might be your son, that might be your daughter, that might be your mother, that might be your neighbour, that might be your brother that you were positive about going in the rapture, but he had some evil thing in his life that he did not want to surrender all the time, and even at the Token he did not want to surrender that. He must go through the tribulation for his purging. If he has to go through the tribulation for his purging, it shows that he has things to purge. And he did not purge them out and that is why he did not get the Token.
Quote W.M.B.: 134-2 {117} Now, notice the rest of the dead (the
church members, dead church members) lived not again until the thousand years...
...Notice, these type, the reason they die out, they go through the purging of trial of the tribulation; because they're not actually under the Blood. They claim they are, but they're not. How can they go through a trial to purify them when the bleach Blood of Jesus Christ takes every symptom of sin and stuff away from you. And you're already dead, and your life is hid in Him through God and sealed in there by the Holy Ghost. (The First Seal 63-0318).
Quote: 555-2 {225} ...And here's God's promise way back there hundreds and hundreds of years before that. Now, what happened? They were purged during the time of the awful tribulation period. Now, if God's going to purge that's--that virgin that was a good woman, but she just failed to get oil in her lamp, and He's going to purge her through persecution in there, He puts them tribes right in there for the same thing, and purges them during the time of the tribulation period, because it is a purging; it's judgment. (The Seventh Seal 63-0324E).
Now, they will come right up to the place where they see your bodies change, the foolish virgins. They will stand right with us, walk with us, sleep with us, they won’t depart from us, yeah, until they see your body change. And you may be upon the earth for a long time, several weeks. And they know that from the time that body change comes that’s trouble. They are gone. Can you imagine the weeping and the wailing and the gnashing of teeth? Knowing that they sat under the message for twenty-five years and thirty years and because of their stubbornness and not listening to the preacher, they wanted a woman above everything and a man above everything and they wanted money above everything. My beloved, and I won’t be able to help them and I may not even be around. I may be in my ministry, whatever it is.
All right, something is going to happen here around that time. Let these messages be a guide to you if you are around at that time of the Rapture. Step by step I am telling you it is going to happen just that way. There is going to be weeping and wailing and crying in your hearing from the foolish virgins. And something will happen. Momentum is building up, three months is passed, four months is passed, maybe five months, six months is passed, the ministry is dynamic. It is going around the world and pulling out the elect, pulling out the foolish virgins by the millions.
Now, some people would have gone into the world council of churches not knowing what they did. When they hear the preaching, they would run out. They would throw away their fellowship card and denounce the teachings of the pope. They will be saved; millions upon millions. Millions, friend. They will come out. God is a merciful God. And something will happen.
GENTILES TURN OVER GOSPEL TO
JEWS
Page 36 of the Seven Church Age book, Brother Branham said, as the Jews turn the gospel to the Gentiles, so will the Gentile turn the gospel over to the Jews and the Rapture will come.
Quote W.M.B.: 36-5 As the Jews brought the message to the Gentiles,
even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews, and the Rapture will
come. (Revelation Of Jesus Christ Church Age Book
Cpt.1)
Quote: 312 Now, when's the Gospel returning to the Jews? When the day of the Gentile is finished, the Gospel is ready to go to the Jews... This Gentile message, as the Jews brought it to the Gentiles, the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews again. And the rapture will come. (Revelation Chapter One 60-1204M).
So you are going to hear something happen. Some little brother the Lord is going to move, yes, and he will go over to Israel, and when he reaches into Israel, he will preach the Token, he will preach this Message, he will preach the Seven Thunders, he will preach the coming of Christ. All right, now Revelation 10:1 will now leave the Bride and now he goes over to the Jews. Pg 72 of the Seven Seals. He is looking towards Israel and then he would now come. ‘Out of Zion will come forth the deliverer and turn ungodliness away from Jacob.’ (Romans 11).
Quote W.M.B.: 72-1 {29} Revelations 10... I saw another
mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow... upon
his head,...
If you notice that's Christ (See?), 'cause He in the
Old Testament was called the Angel of the Covenant, and He's directly coming to
the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See?
... Angel is a messenger, and He's a Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured. See? Now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church. (The Breach 63-0317E).
So now, with this man of God, some little brother, mighty angel of God will take him to Israel and then he will preach the gospel there. The one hundred and forty-four thousand will be sealed. The two prophets will be prepared at that time and they will say that is what we were looking for. Then they will receive it . Now let me tell you something; since the Bride will have the revelation of the Seven Thunders, they turn over that same revelation to the Jews and it is concerning the coming of Christ. But when the Jews receive it, it is not the Seven Thunders, it is not the Seventh Seal; it is called the Seventh Trumpet. So now, this brings to light Brother Branham statement whatever the seven thunders is to the Gentiles, is the seventh trumpet to the Jews. It is one and the self same revelation, the coming of the Lord. All right, now if you don’t understand that, leave it.
Quote W.M.B.: 23-1 Notice, now, exactly the continuity of
the Scripture, exactly the same. Under the Seventh Trumpet is to Israel the
same as the Seventh Seal was to the Church. (Feast Of The Trumpets 64-0719).
So now the Jews receive the gospel.
And when they receive the gospel brothers and sisters, the blood leaves the mercy
seat. The blood leaves the mercy seat,
not another gentile would be saved; cry, weep, howl, beg, plead, no matter what
you want to do, it wouldn’t do you any good. The blood leave the Mercy Seat, a
hundred and forty four thousand is sealed, with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit,
the Spirit of grace rested upon the Jews.
Zechariah
12: 10 <And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon
me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for
his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness
for his firstborn.>
All
right, this news will now come to the Foolish Virgins, they would hear that the
gospel was received by the Jews and they know that their chances and their
hopes are all lost, for going in the Rapture.
This
is reality I’m talking about, this is common sense friends, yes, the news will
spread around there saying that the Jews got it. "The Jews, the Jews, brother, took the
gospel. My God, I am lost, I’m lost, I’m
lost, I cannot go in the rapture, children, we are lost we cannot go in the
Rapture”. Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, fall on the ground and the
wife falls on the ground.
My
brother and here is the big son that is qualified with the Token, he is weeping
too, he knows that he is going to leave them just now, momentum is building up.
Yes sir, a sweep comes over us and we are changed and they know all these
things. Terrible times are coming,
children, behave yourself, behave yourself, don’t end up in this bunch and that
is not all over yet, after they miss the Rapture weeping and wailing.
Something happens on the earth, and
that is, friend, they find the solution to the money problem around that time,
you see where the money solution comes in. Complete formation of the world council
of churches, complete formation of the ransom body, world council and political
people and everything is going to be coming. And we are leaving just on the brink of the formation of the world council of churches,
we are leaving the earth in a Rapture about the time of the formation of a one-world
government we are leaving the earth about the time that the mark of the beast
is going to come down upon the whole earth. You say, “Where is the scripture
for that?”
Revelation
3: 10<Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee
from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them
that dwell upon the earth.>
Torments
of foolish virgins – another bloodbath
So now all this time
we stir up the pope, now hear this scripture, friend.
Revelation
12: 17 <And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with
the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ. >
Remnant means the left over. So now, he went out to meet these
people that missed the rapture and he went to make war with them, their shield
and their buckler leave them, went away in the rapture we could no longer
defend them, we cannot stand for them, oh beloved, so the dragon with his
vexation is now going to vent all his
wrath upon these foolish virgins.
Now, you imagine the rest, he could
not catch the Bride because the Bride went away; the elect went away, now you are
talking about all the wrath of the dragon now coming down to hunt these foolish
virgins. Brother Branham said they would
hunt them like wild dogs.
GENTILES REMNANT HUNTED DOWN LIKE WILD DOGS
Quote W.M.B.: 70-2
Just a little while and we'll be summoned; then the rapture will come. Just a
little bitty group like Enoch will be taken up. Then the remnant of the woman's
seed that keep the commandments of God (Jews), have the testimony of Jesus
Christ (Gentiles), will be hunted down like dogs and shall give their life for
their testimony. (Future Home 64-0802).
CRUEL PUNISHMENT - WEEPING & WAILING &
GNASHING OF TEETH
Quote: 172-3 {379} You talk
about cruel punishment. You just
wait. Watch what them that's left here on earth will have to go through with.
There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. For the dragon, Rome,
spurted water out of his mouth to make war with the remnant of the woman's seed
that was left upon the earth after the Bride had been selected and took out.
And the dragon made war with the remnant that didn't want to come in, was
hunted down. (The First Seal 63-0318).
Now, we will have another bloodbath, by the millions like
it was under the red horse rider, the red horse rider will still be existing,
because you have the white and the red and the black all in the pale horse now.
Yes, and America would be giving the
permission to kill in every country.
Every country you will have unsurrendered, harden people that did not want God
and did not pay the price. Right, and now, the armies would be able to catch
them, the police would be able to get them, these serpent seeds, these tares,
would be able to get them, and you are talking modern tortures. They had the stretching racks back there, my
brother the torment that they would go through in this age, could never be
compared with what went on back there.
With
electrical power, electronic power, scientific devices, electric saws, and they
would do the very same thing, very same
men, instead of the priest, now it would be the Pentecostal preachers, and the
Baptist preachers and the Protestant preachers, now trying to bring these
people to repentance, by putting them
there my brother and drilling through their teeth, without any anaesthetic,
drilling through their brain, drilling through their bones, and, have them there
with all these kind of modern devices, put on a meat saw, yes sir, and cut off
their finger inch by inch, asking them to repent in Jesus name. “Do you repent?”
Another piece gone off. Do you repent?” Another piece gone off, and they chop
you to pieces.
Right now they are doing that in Columbia. I’m
telling you, with the drug lords, that is how they kill them, they saw them
apart. O yes. Beloved, let us leave this place. Brother, there is a way of
escape. Everybody I’m speaking to, under the sound of my voice. Christ has made a way of escape, and he
said that he would keep us from the 'Hour of Temptation', let us embrace that.
Let us change our direction.
These modern tortures would come, modern
scientific tortures that is after the rapture of the bride now, we are not
going to face that, now no, no, no, we are not going to face that.
Alright, now while peace is going on, for the
world in the eight chapter in the book of Daniel, he shall destroy wonderfully
in the time of peace now, what is that, there is no peace for the foolish virgins. But now through the solution,
hear what I am saying, solutions through the backing up of the money, they
bring peace upon the earth. Now, the peace that is brought upon the face of the
earth is through the solution by the Pope’s gold and the World Council of
Churches.
Modern utopia
All right now, the pope establishes a covenant with the
Jews, even with the troubled Middle East and they pool their money together and
they have peace upon the earth. And that
is why the Bible said in Daniel,
Daniel
8:24 <...and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise,
and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.>
There
are two targets that the pope has during that time and it is the foolish virgins
and the hundred and forty-four thousand. I hope I am making myself clear. So he
shall destroy in the time of peace and he shall cause craft to prosper, ok,
here is the word that I used last night now around that time the covenant is
made with the Jews and when the world find the solution for the money crisis,
around that same time, my brother, they would have a world of peace, so you
call that a ‘modern utopia.’ 'Utopia'
means an imaginary state, with perfect politics and perfect society.
So now the world is going to think
that they have achieved that, that would never come until the new world, it
would never come until the new
millennium, but, that is what they would think, they think that what they
always imagined, a world of perfect politics, and a world perfect with peace,
we have arrived to that. During that time of peace, hear what the Bible said,
I
Thessalonians 5:3 <For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they
shall not escape. >
That is what the Bible said. When they
shall say peace and safety then cometh sudden destruction upon them and they
shall not escape.
So now, the Pope is sitting there on
the great throne: “Peace, peace, peace.”
He already made peace with Israel, made peace, my brothers and sisters
with the rest of the world, but, he is destroying underneath, the foolish virgins
in a time of peace, and, he is killing out the hundred and forty four thousand,
he is killing these people in peace. He’s got to get every “negative element”
out. Anything that resists the Pope he’s got to get them out of the way. You
see what I am saying, so now you call that a ‘modern utopia’, people would be
deceived and think that the world has arrived to a time of peace and joy and
happiness, politics are all straightened out, societies are all straightened
out, everybody has things in common everybody has bread the Bible said: “And he shall cause craft to prosper." The factories start back, money crisis
is over, industries, my brother industries start flourishing, my brother,
people buying and selling under a certain condition, yes the World Trade Centre
move from the United States and it is over in Rome. The great merchants my
brother; all of them are attached to Rome, yes, and they stand afar off in
another country and way off on another continent and their businesses are being
done by the World Trade Centre of Rome. Yes sir,
Closing remarks, musicians get ready.
Something happens. From the time the gospel turns over to the Jews the
Seventieth Week begins. Alright now, to prove to you that it is not three and a
half years let me quote the scripture from Daniel 9.
Daniel 9: 27 <And he shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause
the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that
determined shall be poured upon the desolate. >
How
much? [Congregation says, “One week!]
And that prophecy is fulfilled in the end time.
If
three and a half years are left, it would have to say that he confirmed with many
for three and a half years. Before you argue with me, go and read Daniel
Seventieth Week which Brother Branham preached, he absolutely said one week is
left to the Jews and the scripture is that: ‘He confirm with many for one week, that’s the antichrist, that’s
the Pope, the peace accord that they would make, Brother Branham’s suggestion
said it is for the gold. Alright. It looks like it is going just that way.
Quote: 66 ... And he shall confirm the covenant...
(Listen!)... with many for one week:... (One of these seventy of week,). (Gabriel’s
Instruction To Daniel 61-0730M).
ONE MORE WEEK LEFT FOR THE JEWS – EXACTLY SEVEN YEARS
Quote
W.M.B.: 165 And in the middle of this
week... Now, here's the seventy... Now, if these exactly was seven years, each
one of the weeks, and we've already had sixty-nine weeks, then we have the
Gentile age, and we know we're at the end of the Gentile age, then there's one more week left for the Jew. Is that
right? And that's exactly seven years... So we know we got seven years for the
Jews. (Seventy Weeks Of Daniel 61-0806).
Quote: 94 ...they've already had sixty-nine weeks ... then
there's one more week promised to the
Jews...Last week seven--the seventh years... (Seventy Weeks Of Daniel 61-0806).
Quote: 105 ...God did with the Jews just exactly what He
said He would do in them sixty-nine years--or 483 years, but sixty-nine weeks.
And one week left, one week's yet
determined. (Seventy Weeks Of Daniel 61-0806).
Quote:
118 here will that seventieth week begin? Exactly after this church is cut off. Then God
returns to the Jews. (Seventy Weeks Of Daniel 61-0806).
Quote:
191 These sixty-nine weeks hit
perfect... The moment He starts the
seventieth week, or seven years, the church
is gone. (Seventy Weeks Of Daniel 61-0806).
So
something happens. Around that time the Jews are allowed to rebuild their
temple in a time of peace. We would not see the building of the temple. We
might see the stocking-up of the material, which they have already. I don’t
know if we would see the blowing down of the Mosque of Omar. I am not sure. But
friends, we would not see when they make this covenant with the Jews neither.
After the rapture, then this covenant would be made with the Jews.
CONFEDERATION OF CHURCHES – JEWS CALLED IN
Quote:
167 We find out that the
Protestants has an organization, and makes a confederation of churches--a image
to the beast, and go right with them. And we find out here that the Jews are
called in on this confederation. Yes, sir. And they agree. And the Bible said
they did.
And he makes a covenant with them, and in the midst of the seventieth
week, he... the antichrist breaks his covenant with the Jews... Revelations 11...
He will send His two prophets, and they'll prophesy in that time. And then
they'll get angry with these prophets and actually kill them. (Seventy Weeks Of
Daniel 61-0806).
WHEN THE JEWS ESTABLISH THEIR TEMPLE WORSHIP THE
CHURCH WILL BE GONE
Quote W.M.B.: 140 A confederation of church will consolidate them together and bring
the Jews into this confederation, and bring them back to their own temple worship again in the THUS SAITH THE LORD out of
the Bible, and they will have their own church.
They are what now? I just caught it
just now, fresh. They are now a nation recognized. Is that right? But they have
not their temple worship yet. And when they establish the temple worship, the Church will be gone. God will be
dealing with the Jews as a nation. And then when they are brought into this
confederation, Rome will break it in the middle of the seventieth year--three
and one half years he'll break that covenant with them, and cause the
abomination that maketh desolation to spread to the consummation. Then he'll
take both Protestant and Jew and persecute them, and that time these two
prophets will stand up and curse the earth that she'll not rain in the days of
their prophecy; they'll call fire out of heavens and everything else. You just
wait. We got a lot laying here in store for us to learn. (Sixfold Purpose
Gabriel Visit Daniel 61-0730E).
Okay.
And then what happens is that in the midst of the week; after the Jewish temple
is set up, and they are still sacrificing bullocks and goats and everything; in
the midst of the week, the pope breaks the covenant, because he has the money
under control, and he wants Jerusalem for a long time now.
Quote: 109 (That's when he breaks his covenant in the middle of the week.) (Sixfold
Purpose Gabriel Visit Daniel 61-0730E).
So
now, he walks over and goes to Jerusalem, and he sits, my brother, in a certain
place, and he asks the Jews to worship him. That’s the scripture in II
Thessalonians the second chapter: “And he sitteth in the temple of God being
worshipped like God.” The Jews are not idol worshippers. But the Jews will say,
“You are not God, and we would not worship you.” Yes, war breaks out. My brothers and sisters, trouble starts. The
144, 000 are killed. Yes. He is trying to eliminate, the Jewish nation because
the Jewish nation refused to accept him as God sitting on the Throne. This is
that beast. That is the pope. Now, he is now the beast. Right now he is antichrist.
Alright. Now here how the prophet put that, if you’re not to hurry. Right now
he is the antichrist.
Quote
W.M.B.: 139 There'll be two prophets
(the 11th chapter, we'll pick that up)--two anointed prophets like Elijah and
Moses, who I think it is. And they'll bring great curses, after they have seen
that they have consolidated, and Rome has broke its covenant (that prince) in
the middle of this seventieth week, it'll break its covenant with Rome, or Rome
will break it with Israel, and that'll cause the abomination to begin to
scatter. And there will be the great flood, when the Gentile remnant, the
sleeping virgins... The dragon (Rome) spurted water out of his mouth to make
war with the remnant of the woman's seed that keep the commandments of God.
Rome will do that. (Sixfold Purpose Gabriel Visit Daniel 61-0730E).
Daniel
12: 1 <And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which
standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble,
such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that
time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in
the book.>
The only one to take-on that Lucifer, that devil, that accuser of the
brethren that came down is Michael himself. Michael himself.
And around that
time, my brothers and sisters, there is going to be a time of trouble as never
was since the earth began. Because Israel now has accepted Jesus Christ and the
Spirit of Grace is upon them and there is going to be a battle that will put things
to an end. And it is going to come to the end of the seven years, end of the
Daniel seventieth week, which is seven years and then the tares will be burnt.
What were the tares
bundled for? All right, Bundle the tares that they may be burnt. And there is
going to be a burning. That ties in Revelation 19, yes, “and the beast was
taken.” Do you remember that scripture? “And the beast was taken.” So now that
ties in Revelation 19 and it brings in Daniel 12 and here we are in the end
time, there will be a consummation.
You are talking
about a disaster; you are talking about fire
from heaven. You are talking about the scriptures of Malachi 4:1 being
fulfilled, “the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, yea and all the proud
and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn
them up, saith the Lord of Hosts”. All them seeds of the serpent will be burnt
to death and that is not the end of it, they are going down to Hell.
So it is sad to say
the 144, 000 Jews are slaughtered and then every foolish virgin, every
foolish virgin was martyred. The Pope killed every one of them. You are talking
about millions. They begged, they pleaded and they tormented them. All kinds of
electric shocks, yes, pulling out their teeth with a plier, without any kind of
anaesthetic. You are talking about breaking their bones and putting them back.
I am telling you,
millions of them. And they shed their blood upon the earth and these foolish
virgins will sleep for one thousand years. And at the end of the one thousand
years be awaken and stand in the judgment. I do not want that. But the bride
will rule and reign with Christ for one thousand years.
Yes, my brother. So
now that is the final result of the money crisis. The end result of the money
crisis is a one world government and a one world church. It is the revival of the Roman Empire, which will
rule, and reign upon the face of the earth. Romanism will rule the world by the
mark of the beast. Thank God for grace. Thank God that we can escape these
things that are coming upon the face of the earth.
My humble advice
and my humble request unto you, is let us surrender our hearts as we have never
surrendered our hearts before. If there be anything in us that will take us
away, Beloved, from this Bride calling, Lord remove it now. I don’t know what
it is, I cannot see, I don’t know it. I know that I am a proud man; I know that
I am a lustful man; I know this or whatever you may say. I know that I am an
arrogant man, I know Lord that I am not a loving man.
Your soul is not a playing instrument
Beloved, surrender
it, put it on the altar. Do not be foolish and go out and say that I am a
foolish virgin and I am settling for that. No sir. I will tell you, if you are
a foolish virgin, you can become a wise virgin tonight. I mean if you are
thinking that way, you can become a wise virgin tonight. How do I become a wise
virgin, Brother Bruce? Surrender your heart; give up all that is in your life.
Give up all that is in your way.
But if you would
want to get up from under a message like this and be brave enough to go out and
live and act the same way, that you had been acting yesterday, you are a fool.
You are a fool. You are a foolish man. Yes and you would do that until that
time come. Yes, and you would go down the road thinking that you could take
chances and you could take your chances and reach to that place there.
And when the thing
is about ready to come, then I would straighten up. You cannot fool God. God is
not a playing instrument. Your soul is
not a playing instrument. Do not play with it. The Lord could call for your
soul tonight. He could call for your soul as you go out the door. You can get a
heart attack right in here and die. And we had the experience.
A brother testified
on the pulpit, walked outside and got a heart attack, fell down and died. Big
strong loving man, fell down and died. Nobody ever expected that. Beloved, our
souls are not playing instruments. Youths, your souls are not playing
instruments. God is not a playing instrument. Yes, repent put your sins
under the blood. Beg God to give you grace and to keep you from that hour of
temptation.
It is coming right
here now upon us. Now let me repeat that statement. If the solution of the
world money crisis is so near, I am telling you we are nearer to that promise of God. All right and our souls have got to
be prepared. And I want to leave you with this thought. How would my soul be
prepared Bro. Bruce? Surrender all, just surrender all.
Do not bother about
the new birth. Do not bother about the preparation. No, do not bother about the
preparation. Do not bother about the birth. Do not bother about the revelation.
Do not bother about the token. Be bothered about if you have sacrificed your
all. Did you give up your all? Give up
your all.
And how do I know
that I have given up my all Brother Bruce? I will tell you right here now. You
must come to a conclusion that I desire life and I am going after life above
every other thing in this world. Come what may, I am seeking the kingdom first
and I know that all other things, birth, revelation, token will be added. I am
seeking the kingdom first.
Let us hear the
conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God and keep his commandments. For God
shall bring every work into judgment whether it be good or evil. May the Lord
bless these messages. May it awake many
souls to escape what is coming upon the face of the earth. I wish that I
had a voice that they could hear me through out the world today.
The things that you
have heard are the truth. It is the truth. I know what I am talking about. It
is going to be just that way because a prophet came to the earth and he
revealed the seals, and he revealed these mysteries. And step-by-step, brothers
and sisters, it is going to happen just that way. This is the truth. If I did
not know what I am talking about I would not say anything but I speak by divine
revelation under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost bearing
witness in your hearts. You have heard the truth for the past five days on this
money crisis.
May the Lord bless
your hearts. Thank you for suffering with me and may you put these messages to
use and may it guide you, may it lead
you, may it keep you, my brothers and sisters, in the days to come. Yes, so
that you can turn back to this book, you can turn back to the tapes and say let
me see what stage we are in, it will be correct. Page so and so, we are in this
stage.
And if the foolish
virgins are there, they can look into this same book and say after the rapture,
“What next? This is going to happen, that is going to happen, that is going to
happen, that is going to happen.” They will be able to see even after the
rapture. They will be able to look back and see where they made their mistake. Brethren, let us plan not to be there. I do not want anybody reading this
book after the rapture takes place. That is my prayer. Amen.
