Pentecostalism
under the message:

Korah and company

58x2006

<Now
Korah, the son of Izhar, the son
of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On,
the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:

And they rose up before Moses, with certain
of the children of Israel,
two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men
of renown:

And
they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said
unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy,
every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up
yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

And
when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

And
he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD
will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto
him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

This
do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

And
put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it
shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too
much upon you, ye sons of Levi.> (Number 16: 1-7).

Israel under Moses typeS church condition in the spiritual

May
the Lord add a blessing to the reading of His holy Words. We are on the subject
again of, “Pentecostalism Under the
Message: Korah And Company.”

“How
does that fit in to Pentecostalism, preacher?” You will see in a while.
This is not targeting some petty thing in our little congregation or a little
church, although it will apply. But what is going to be said applies to the entire message-world, every
congregation, every preacher, every believer and everyone of us that are
present because the Bible said that these things happened for our examples that
we should not fall after the same manner of unbelief.

I Corinthians 10: 11-12 <Now all these
things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that
thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. >

Hebrews 4:11<Let us labour therefore to
enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.>

Brother
Branham made a great statement and we should not forget it. Especially in the
endtime here where God sent us a Moses.

Quote W.M.B.: 48 We're taking Israel
now, in their journey coming out of Egypt,
type of the world, on their way to Palestine,
the promised land. I think it's a beautiful thing. I just love it. Pretty near
every week, I set down and read through that book of Exodus, if I can, or as
much of it as I can. I love it, because it's a perfect type of the church
today, the condition, and how God is moving. Moved then, what He did in the
natural then, He's doing in the spiritual now. See it? (Redemption In Completeness In Joy 54-0330).

Now,
do you know that we were promised a Moses in the endtime? The Bible said,

II
Timothy 3:8 <Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also
resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.>

Now,
if we are going to have Jannes and Jambres in the endtime here, we got to have
a Moses. And that Moses must have the truth and then we will have men resisting
the truth. And when they resist the truth we could identify the spirit of Jannes and Jambres. And beyond a shadow of a
doubt the religious world resisted the truth that was sent by God through
William Branham. They are in the category of Jannes and Jambres. And there were
two men heading that. They were Oral Roberts and Billy Graham. The prophet of
God typed them out in ‘Spoken Word
is the Original Seed,’ as Jannes and Jambres. In another place he
typed them out as the blinding angels to Sodom
and that is the truth.

Quote
W.M.B.: 54-5 The seeds has went
forth. The denominations is sowed; the Word's been sowed. See? And Jannes and
Jambres, …The Bible said these devils would rise up in the last days and
would deceive the people by these miracles and signs that they could perform.
How you going to know the difference? The Word. (The Spoken Word Is The Original Seed 62-0318).

Quote: E-26 Then the two preachers, the Angels, modern Billy Graham, Oral
Roberts. Preachers... They had a message for the world. So they looked toward Sodom. They went down
there, not much miracles done, but they blinded the people. Preaching the
Gospel does blind the people. That's what the Bible says. (The Revelation That Was Given To Me 60-0210).

W.m.b.’s
ministry of Moses, Elijah and Christ

Now,
the ministry of Moses was repeated today in the end time, in the ministry of
the prophet, Brother Branham. He came with three different ministries.
Everybody should know that in the message: the ministry of Moses, the ministry
of Elijah and the ministry of Christ. People did not know that very well and
they don’t know how to divide that. Even up to today the followers of the
message do not understand how to divide those three ministries. At one time the
prophet of God preached as Moses, and another time he preached as Elijah and
then another time he preached as Christ: “I will ride this trial
again.” Thus they mixed up the three ministries all together not
understanding the difference.

One time Brother
Branham was to preach in a church and a woman arose and prophesied, which was a true prophecy. She said,
“Thus saith the Lord, the spirit of Moses, the spirit of Elijah and the
Spirit of Christ will minister to us within three months time.” He
sanctioned that prophecy.

Quote W.M.B.: 40 Before that, a little woman stood up in the meeting, a Baptist woman
come over there not knowing what she could do. And she was standing in the
midst of the meeting, and the Holy Spirit fell on her, and she begin to speak
with tongues, a Baptist woman from the First Baptist church at Shreveport; and
then she didn't know what she had did. And then before she could say anything,
the Holy Spirit give the interpretation, said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD,
'Within three months there'll be the Spirit of Moses, Elijah, and Christ,
ministering in this tabernacle.'" There
it happened, perfectly. (The Revelation
Of Jesus Christ 60-1204m).

Now, people
never understood that. The early ministry of the prophet was like unto Moses.
And then he advanced to another ministry, which was the Elijah ministry. And
then a little later he advanced to the ministry of Christ, Son of Man revealed.
(Luke 17:30). We went through that
several years ago. I do not want to cast my pearls before swine. This is for
us.

That is why it
is so important today to identify the journey of the church and its present
position. Not Bethel
here but generally the church in the end time, especially the message
followers. Look how perfect that fits. In the end time God sent a prophet like
unto Moses. His name was William Branham, Malachi 4:5&6.

How do we know
that was our Moses? Because, he had a pillar of fire, and a pillar of fire
accompanied Moses and the children of Israel. That was to identify the
Moses’ ministry in the end time. And then, Moses was given two signs to
minister to the people and to bring the people out of bondage. One sign was in
the hand which Brother Branham had. And there was another sign given to Brother
Branham, which was the sign of discernment to read the people’s thoughts,
which identifies a prophet. A prophet is not made in a Bible school or hatched out
of a seminary. He is born a prophet, like Jeremiah

Prophets are born:
gifted with visions and dreams

Jeremiah
1:5 <Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest
forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the
nations.>

Now, they are
born in a certain way, born with a certain gift and that gift is down in them
to see visions, and dream dreams, and look back into people’s lives,
maybe a hundred years, and tell their house numbers and names. That was why
when Saul lost his donkeys he said, “Isn’t there a prophet around
here?” They knew where to go. And he went and met Samuel. He said,
“Where is my father’s donkeys?” He said, “The donkeys
are already found, and your father is worrying about you but I have business
for you. Stay here all night.” (I
Samuel 9:6).

He was going to
be ordained king. A little donkey raiser was going to be ordained king and the
prophet knew. So, anything that happened, they always asked for a prophet. They
said, “Where is the prophet?”

Do you remember
the three kings that were in the desert? Three mighty kings were going to fight
a battle, and water ran out and they said, “The Lord brought us here to
destroy us. Isn’t there a prophet?” And one fellow spoke up and
said, “There is a man called Elisha. Let him come forward.” And
when the prophet came up there, he was so defiant of Jezebel’s son that
he said, “Were not that I regarded the presence of Jehoshaphat, I would not
even turn to see you.” You are talking about defiant and bold men. But
one said, “Nay prophet, we are begging you. God brought these three kings
with all their armies to kill them. Say something.” He was born that
certain way. A prophet is not a preacher or a joker. He is in direct
communication with Almighty God. And certain ones are born in order to
interpret God’s Word and that is why they
are called seers. A seer means a divine interpreter of the Word of God. Elisha
was angry and he said, “Bring me a minstrel,” which is a singing
group. After they started singing, the Spirit of the Lord came back upon him
and he contacted Almighty God from the seventh heaven. He said, “Thus
saith the Lord, dig this valley full of ditches for I will fill it with water,
and that is a small thing: I shall deliver the army of the Syrians into your
hands.” He turned his back and walked away, back into the wilderness. Not
for a prize, not for money, nor anything. God spoke through him. That’s a
prophet. (II Kings 3:10-18).

When
God sent William Branham, he was ordained a prophet before he was formed in his
mother’s womb. God foresaw him and wrote Malachi 4:5&6. And when he
came here people wanted to contend with a man of God like that. You’re
mad. God saw him twenty-four hundred years ago and ordained him a prophet, as
Elijah the prophet. Who is the dog that will rise up to say, “I disagree with Elijah the prophet. I
have a better idea. I am getting more revelation and I could change the Word of
God?” You will end up where Korah ended up. When God sends a prophet upon
the earth, every man is wrong and he alone is right. That’s the way that
we understand the Word of God. He is right and everybody is wrong. There
isn’t a scholar to change what he said.

Talking
about the Moses ministry. And Brother Branham was given a pillar of fire and
two signs. Moses was given a message; William Branham was given a message. Do
you see how perfect that is? That pillar of fire led Moses and led Brother
Branham all the days of their lives. They were sent with a certain mission, and
the mission of Moses was to lead the people to the Promised Land. The mission of William Branham was to
lead the people to a spiritual land, which is another outpouring of the Holy
Spirit. Anybody that misses that great message on ‘The Token’, and don’t understand that there is
another outpouring of the Holy Ghost to come, they missed the message of
William Branham as Israel
missed the message of Moses. If they missed the message of our Moses, and they
believe that they had it in so-called Pentecost then, friends, they are
deceived. What they received in so-called
Pentecost was a counterfeit. It was an anointing on the outside of the body
but then, the prophet of God came here to call us back to the genuine article
of Pentecost. That is the truth of the gospel. So, all these things that I just
said is right through Brother Branham’s message, it was confirmed by the
angel that “you will be given two signs, and if they don’t believe
the first sign they will believe the second sign.”

Quote W.M.B.:  E-15 And
I said, "Sir, I could not go. Moses had one sign with his hand."
Yeah.

He said, "Now, …you take your
hand and lay it onto the people. Don't think of what you're going to say, and
It'll call what they have. Then if you'll be real reverent, humble…He
said, "it'll come to pass that you'll know the very secret of the people's
heart." And said then, "If they won't believe the first sign, they
will believe the second. (The Revelation
That Was Given To Me 60-0210).

Quote: E-69 How many remembers that in the
beginning when I'd have to take the person's hand and lay it on mine, you'd see
those things happening, how many remembers that? How many remembers that I told
you that the Lord told me it would come to pass if I'd be humble and sincere,
that I would… reveal the secrets of the hearts. If they didn't believe
that first sign like they did of Moses, the second sign would beyond. (The Greatest News Flash In History 61-0424).

Hour of korah,
abiram and dathan under the message

That
is right through the message. People don’t study the message, and they
don’t put the Word down in their souls, and when a little uprising comes
up in the church, and some heresy arises, they are gone with it because they
never got the Word down in their hearts and they are troubled.

Now, the mission
of Moses was to lead an exodus out of Egypt land. The mission of William
Branham was to lead an exodus out of organization. Egypt types the organizations and
some of the world. That is the truth of the message. If you want to know where
we are at in the journey, then we have to look at the book of Exodus, because
it’s typing out the church, and the type over here with Moses is correct.
Then all the incidents and everything right up to the end of Kadesh Barnea and
entering the Promised Land speaks for the end time Bride, because we will
finally enter our land of promise. Before that there is a Kadesh Barnea right
in the message. Then, there is a Korah, Abiram and Dathan. There is unbelief to
stop the people from entering the Promised Land.

So, if we look
at our map here: "come out of Egypt", that is now history.
Moses did come and he called us out of Egypt. O, that’s an old
ministry, the Moses’ ministry but yet there are things that can apply
here today. I believe that we have crossed the Red Sea
and all organizations died behind us, because they rejected the Word of God. I
believe that the waters came out of the Rock and that Rock is Christ, and we
are drinking from that Rock even now. And this water is magnified; the stream
never stopped running. Over there in the wilderness the stream stopped running,
and they had to hit the rock the next time and get the water out, but our Rock
is Christ. The Bible plainly said, “And that Rock in the wilderness was
Christ.”

I Corinthians 10:4 <And did all drink the
same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ.>

I like to think
about that. People thought that the rock was bringing the water. It was coming
out of Christ’s feet and He is the fountain of Living Water. It was
coming straight out of Christ’s feet and passing through the rock. Where
was that rock going to get so much water? Behave yourself. The Bible said that
Rock was Christ. The water was coming out of our Lord. Just like He fed five
thousand with bread and fish, and crumbs were taken up, so our Lord stood on
that rock, and water kept coming out, and a great river was created in the
desert, and people, and animals and everything drank. It had to be a big river.
That is our God. So now, we are still drinking from that Rock, and many people
are drinking around the message and many of them are anointed. Many of them are
still tasting of the message that Brother Branham brought to us.

Now, in my
humble assessment and opinion, I believe that the present situation, and the
present position of all the message world and message believers, (I have
reasons for saying this), that we have come to the hour of Korah, Abiram and Dathan, who are now functioning under the
message. Think of what I am saying. So now, you see I am not dealing with some
little, petty thing to bring down somebody in some little church. I am dealing
with the whole message world, I am dealing with the message, I am dealing with
the prophet and I am dealing with spiritual things. We don’t have time
with petty things. Who wants to go to hell, go to hell.

As
I often times said, when the Lord said, “Moses and Aaron, step aside. I
will kill all these people with one breath as one man,” beloved, I
don’t know if I have that kind of patience to drop myself in the middle.
I would have said, “Lord, Thy will be done.” Do you know that got
Moses into trouble afterwards? Did you ever hear a man advised God and give Him
a better advice? Hear what Moses said,

Numbers 14:13-16 <And Moses said unto the
LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in
thy might from among them;)

Now if thou shalt kill all this people as
one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

Because the LORD was not able to bring this
people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in
the wilderness.

Hear
the answer that the Lord gave. He said, “As I liveth the whole earth
shall be filled with My glory.” In other words, “That would not
take away My glory, Moses.” He said, “But in this matter I
hearkened unto you. I will pardon them.”

Numbers 14:20-21 <And the LORD said, I
have pardoned according to thy word:

But as truly as I live, all the earth shall
be filled with the glory of the LORD.>

He
said, “As I live the earth shall be filled with My glory.”
Brethren, backsliders leaving the House of God don’t stop the glory of
God. If a man gets up, and live like Judas and does the things like Judas, that
don’t stop the glory of God. As the Lord liveth the whole earth shall be
filled with His glory. Yes. I tell you. The Lord only showed me that a couple of
hours ago while reading my Bible. Now, Moses’ idea seemed to have been a
grand idea, that the Egyptians shall hear about it. And God rebuked Moses
immediately by this statement. He said, “As I liveth the whole earth
shall be filled with My glory.” In other words, “That would not hinder me, Moses. Eventually the world shall know
about My glory.” Thank God for
His Word, thank God for His revelation. After reading the Bible for years, my
brethren, I never understood that until today, that God rebuked Moses. I often
thought, but that’s a grand idea of which Moses advised God. But then I
have seen today where God withstood his advice but yet gave him his way. He
said, “I hearkened to you, Moses. Go ahead and do it.” Those same
people got him into trouble. Who God wants to kill, let Him kill. He knows who
should die and who should stay alive, friends. I am but just a man. I know
Moses had to play out that part because he was playing out the part of Christ.
The Bible was being written and the Spirit of Christ was in him, and I know
that has its place. But those same people got him into trouble.

My
brothers and sisters, I am persuaded that we have reached, the church has
reached, the followers of Malachi 4:5&6, those followers of William Branham
have reached to the place identified in the book of Exodus and Numbers: Korah
and his company. “How did you arrive to that, preacher?” I arrived
to that because the prophet of God in 1965 preached a message called, ‘The Anointed Ones at the End
Time’. And he said that false anointed ones shall soon arise after his
ministry.

Quote W.M.B.: 183-4 {45} Did you know there will be false christs arise in the last
day? It should follow immediately after
this great message that this brother will speak, that will actually come,
be anointed in the spirit of Elijah, immediately. (The Second Seal 63-0319).

Now,
these men that we are looking at were anointed men but they were false. That
was the next thing on the agenda. I will make reference to a little vision of
which all of us are familiar, that the prophet of God had seen, where a man was
dressed in white and went around the earth sowing seeds. That was the Son of
man with the good seed. Immediately after that, the sower in white turned his
back, a man dressed in black came and sowed seeds wherever the seeds were
already sown. That is your false anointed ones. The prophet of God made use of
that same vision in the book called, ‘The
Anointed Ones at the Endtime.’

The
prophet of God knew exactly what was on the agenda. Now brethren, if Korah,
Abiram and Dathan are on the agenda, is not Kadesh Barnea on the agenda? And if
Kadesh Barnea is on the agenda, is not taking the Promised Land on the agenda? [Congregation says, “Amen!”]
I am telling you that taking the Promised Land is on the agenda. What I am
preaching must come to pass. Yes. What I am saying is the truth. That’s
the message of the hour. We must have an
outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

We
are living in the hour of the false anointed ones. That is why E.O.D.H.
(Exposition of Damnable Heresies) went out. Notice, there came a certain time
in Jesus’ ministry where the false anointed ones had to be exposed. That
was before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and before the outpouring of the
Holy Spirit Judas had to be exposed. And as we come closer to the Promised Land
there will be uprisings. So, the false anointed ones had been in the message
and under the message for many years now. Since the days of the prophet when he
was alive they were afraid to move but then, soon after he turned his back,
these false anointed ones came on the field, and they went sowing their seeds
of discrepancies and heresies wherever the prophet of God had already sown,
seven times around the world. That is as clear as a whistle. And that is why
you have divisions in the message and that is why you have heresies: hence E.O.D.H. has gone out to expose
these heresies and heretics. Somebody’s got to be standing, and there are
true children of God. There is a real fivefold ministry outside there that is
exposing these false anointed ones. So, right now we have many false anointed
ones on the pulpit. We are not talking about one fellow over here and another
fellow over there. I am talking about ninety and five percent or ninety and
nine percent. They have taken over the
pulpits, and they are now carrying the message of the hour; men with nasty
hands, men with nasty lives. And sometimes they may even surface at Bethel, surface under the
truth as they surfaced under Moses. Moses, with the pillar of fire, he opened
the Red Sea, and was a great man of God and these false anointed ones were
right under his ministry. So, who am I? Who are you? Around the message today,
we have these false anointed ones for years. Yes. It will get more treacherous
as we move closer to the Promised Land.

JUDATARIAN
GROUP - HUNDREDTH MILLIONTH'S OF A HAIR

Quote W.M.B.: 103 He'll go along with the Message for a while, but he just don't want
to put his hands too much on it. See them spirits? Jesus said, "It'll be
so close to the real thing, it'll deceive the very elected," elected, if
you'll notice it, "if it was possible."

…We got now the Judatarian group,
which is far more treacherous, far more treacherous, coming right up into the
very hands of the blessing. Just like in Hebrews 6 and 10, how he said,
"Having once made partakers, and has tasted the powers of the world to
come, and has done all these thing… and then if they have received the
knowledge of the truth, and then if they willfully turn away"

…he accepts Jesus as personal
Saviour…And he gets sanctified. He can shout, praise the Lord, and do
some things too, go out and do things. Remember, Jesus said that type would be
there at that day. "Many will come and say, 'Lord, have not I prophesied
(preached)? Have not I cast out devils in Your Name?'"

Jesus said, "I didn't even know you,
you worker of iniquity." See, there they are.

…We're coming to making the hundredth
millionth's of a hair, right down to the sharp edge of the Gospel. (Hearing
Recognizing Acting On The Word Of God 60-0221).

So
now, if you noticed in this journey, they withstood Moses in Egypt and they withstood him at the Red Sea. I am talking about message followers; I am
talking about people who were supposed to be holding up the truth. And notice
very carefully that none of them died at the Red Sea.
God was very patient with them. They murmured at the rock and nobody died.
Where death came? Where is death around
this message? It is tied up with the false anointed ones. The people
started dying when Korah, Abiram and Dathan arose, and started to withstand
Moses and thought that they had the power to interpret the Word likewise. And
they thought that they were holy and every member of the church was holy. And
they began to think: “Okay, we have the power, we have learnt enough now
and we are supposed to interpret something.” You are making a sad
mistake, Mr. Heretic. It was a sad mistake. And that is what happened and that
is where we are. So now, the false anointed ones arose, and when they arose
under Moses they thought they had an equal gift, equal blessing and equal
power. And that was what the false anointed ones are now projecting around the
world. I may come back on that a little later. That is why we have so many
heretics around the world, saying what the prophet never said, and are even
contradicting him in what he said, even because they are anointed of the devil.
Even the anointing of God that was upon them is going. Yes.

Satan’s mission: devour souls – deny token

Now,
these false anointed ones have one
mission in mind and that is to explain away the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit. The men that arose under Moses had one mission and that was to explain
away the land of promise. Notice that all their murmurings were: “You
have taken us out from the land of milk and honey. Egypt was the land of milk and
honey; and you brought us here in the wilderness to kill us.” (Numbers 16:13).

So
now, their unbelief was hinged on the land, and where the unbelief is hinged
today is on the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and that will divide the foolish
and the wise virgins. My God! So, Satan used all the men that arose under Moses
to explain away the promise of God, which was the land. The false anointed ones
believe in water baptism, a woman should not preach and they believe all the
fundamental doctrines, but when you come up to another outpouring of the Holy
Spirit they want to claim that they got that in so-called Pentecost in 1906.
They lied! It was the biggest lie ever
told, that Pentecost returned in 1906. When the enemy comes around he has
one purpose in mind and that purpose is, and Jesus told us the purpose of the
devil. He said, “The enemy come not but for to steal, and to kill and to
destroy but I have come that ye have might life and have it more
abundantly.”(John 10:10).

O,
the Words of the Lord are so gracious. Satan does not come around to make joke,
friends. When you see an uprising in your little churches there in Africa and
in India,
and you see uprisings, you are supposed to have uprisings. If you don’t
have uprisings in the church something is wrong; there are two spirits at war
in the Christian church, which must continue unto the end. And when you see
that is happening, Satan is around. And he has one purpose with every uprising
and that is to see how many souls he
could devour. Yes, brethren. It never failed. He always comes and although
he cannot conquer Moses, and conquer the group, and tell them the message is
wrong, he will hit sometimes and cause twenty-five thousand to die, he will hit
again and cause sixteen thousand to die, he will hit again and cause ten
thousand to die and he will hit again and cause a few people to die. Now, that
is Satan at work.

When
you see an uprising in your assemblies over there in Africa, India and wherever
you are hearing this on tapes, friends, whenever you see confusion, and strifes
start to come, and doctrinal differences, and everything, and you see a man rises
up with something, be aware, be conscious, don’t look at that as some
little something. The enemy is coming to get innocent people involved that
don’t have the Word. And when he gets them involved he is trying to
devour their souls, he is trying to get them to take sides with the wrong thing
and lose their first faith. And when they take sides with that they are
devoured. You are going to see this story right here. Yes. The story is right
there. Every message church worldwide is always under attack. While you are
sleeping and everything seems to be peaceful, Satan is planning. And this is
what the prophet of God taught us on, ‘Christ
Is the Mystery of God Revealed’. He said, “Now you are a lovely
bunch of people. You love one another and everything is nice but Satan will not
leave it that way. He will send someone in, and let him sit down in the
quietness of things and then he will shoot that person with some poison
stuff.” Hear the advice of the prophet: “Take no sides with it! That poison acid of malice, and jealousy and
hatred will take Christ right out of your life. Take no sides with it. Stay
with you pastor for he is ordained to lead you.” That’s it.

SATAN WILL BRING SOME UNBELIEVER IN – SHOOT HIM
WITH SOME POISON STUFF

Quote W.M.B.: 12-1 Love one another above everything. Love one another... No matter
what the devil tries to say... Now, you're all one great, big, sweet group now,
but remember my warning. See? Satan won't let that stay that way. No, sir.
He'll shoot everything, if he has to bring somebody in to make his target.
He'll bring some critic or unbeliever in, set him down, and cause him to
fellowship with you under the quietness and things. Then he will shoot that guy
with some kind of poison stuff, and he'll start through the church with it.
Don't you take sides with it. Don't you have nothing to do with anything else.
You stay right loving and sweet and kind to one another. Pray for that man that
he'll be saved too, or that woman, ever who it is. Just pray for them and stick
one with another and stay with your pastor. See? He's the shepherd and you give
him respects. He'll lead you through, ‘cause, he's ordained of God to do
so. (Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed
63-0728).

Quote: 13-1 That's right. Stay right together. If the brother, you think he's
a little wrong, or the sister, say, "Lord, don't let me ever have the root
of bitterness spring up, 'cause it'll affect him, and it'll take the Christ
right out of my life." That poison acids of malice, and jealousy, and
hatred, that'll just take the Holy Spirit right away from you. It'll run Him
from the Tabernacle here. It'll kill the Spirit of God or drive it away from
here, hurt your pastor; it'll do everything. See? Don't you do that. You just
wax that much closer together. Draw up the... Take the buckle, as the brother
testified (a minister here the other night) about having a buckle (seeing it in
a vision) That buckles on the whole armor of God; just put it on, tighten up,
move right up close to one another. Love one another anyhow. Talk nice about
one another. Say nice things about one another, and then God will bless you.
(Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed 63-0728).

Why people willfully choose the wrong preachers

Now,
but people don’t heed those things, they think they are bright, they want
to hear for themselves: “And the pastor is wrong and the brethren are
wrong.” Go ahead, friends, check it out. And people have different
reasons for taking the wrong sides even because they have the world down in
their hearts, and they want an excuse, a legitimate excuse to leave. Look how
many excuses that the people had, who followed Moses. They had all kinds of
uprisings from the Red Sea right down to
Kadesh Barnea. And people could have risen up and said, “Too much
confusion is in that church. I am staying home a little bit, for a few months
until things settle down and then I am going back.” That’s the
worst mistake you could ever make. That’s the time you need to hear the
Word. And that is an indication that you don’t have the Word where it
belongs; in the soul. I quote Brother Branham from ‘Hebrews.’  The prophet of God said, “A little
fuss rises up in the church and you say that I will stay out until the fuss is
over. I doubt your experience.” People want to stay out when a little
fuss arises in church. Now, it goes to show that they don’t have
revelation on the Word of God. If you have revelation and you understand what
you are supposed to understand, you’ll know whose side to stand on. O
yes.

Quote W.M.B.: 302-78 In this Tabernacle here, when things go wrong and you men and
you women will run and go over somewhere else, or lay out till the little fuss
or the stew is over, there's something wrong with your experience. That's
right. (Hebrews Chapter Seven 57-0915E).

Church uprisings

Now,
saying that about the people around the message, Bethel is not exempted. Friends, we had
uprisings. And notice that in every uprising that we had, those little pockets
of resistance, it swallowed a few souls, and they went out until now there is a
sizeable group outside there, a demon
possessed group, people who have blasphemed their way and some are dead.
And judgement fell upon some of them and some of them are like Cain; God marked
them and said, don’t kill them. And that group is waiting there for their
judgement. But every time that the enemy hits, it swallows about five, four,
six or eight. Now, you have the history of it. It swallowed them. And every
time the devil moves, I tell you time and time again, he is going to move with
somebody that is spiritual, who you consider spiritual. The devil is not going
to run around with a "blunt axe", friends. He comes with somebody who
has honour in the congregation, and you will see it in this picture, otherwise
the people would not listen to them. If a Rasta-man comes in here, and he just
got converted, and he wouldn’t trim off enough of his hair, and he is
around here for a year or two years and he wants to go out, nobody is going to
follow him. The people don’t have confidence in him. But friends, if you
know a person and you consider them as a wonderful preacher, a wonderful deacon
and you consider them as a mighty singer, my beloved, then you are going to pay
heed to that. And people say, “I don’t like a church that has any
confusion or war.” There is none. And anytime you find one like that
it’s not a church
of God. It’s a
catholic church that the devil is controlling. Even heaven had war at one time.
So, I guess with that attitude you might have jumped down from heaven and said,
“I don’t want to belong to heaven.” I say, heaven had war.
The Bible said in Revelation 12: 7, <And
there was war in heaven… >

Lucifer
and his angels, and Michael and his angels fought, and God intervened and
kicked down Lucifer and all his angels, and they dropped down in Eden and that war never
stopped. It is still going on. There is a war right now between Michael and
Lucifer that is going on right now on the earth. Check ‘Feast of the Trumpets’ and you will see it. The
prophet of God said, “Michael and Lucifer are right here on the earth
continuing that great war that started in heaven.”

Quote W.M.B.: 29-6 Notice, while that group is a-riding, making themselves ready to
stomp out everything that won't agree with them, there's another group being
made ready after while: Revelations 19. The next time the Church is heard, She
comes also, not upon exactly horses,… And those two meet one another on
the battlegrounds: Lucifer and Michael again, like in the beginning. (Feast of the Trumpets 64-0719M).

Now,
that’s the spirit of the devil. When you see war breaks out, relax. Do
one thing: take sides with Jesus. That’s the advice of the prophet. He
said, “Draw the buckles together and the one who Satan is using, he will
either become one of us or he will go out.”

Quote W.M.B.: 12-2 Now, do you remember that? The enemy will come. And when he does,
just cling that much closer together. And the one that the devil is using for
an enemy will either get out or come in and be one of you. That's all. (Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed 63-0728).

Simple
like that. But people without divine revelation: “I want to stay out of
this confusion.” Yes. You don’t know what you came to. You were
looking for a social church and you
better join the Catholic Church that Satan has fully taken over. And there are
certain assemblies that Satan has fully taken over. You need to go and join
them. Let me tell you something, brethren, you will always have war in the
Christian church. There will be uprisings here again as we move closer to the
token. There were uprisings under Moses, uprisings under Jesus, uprisings under
every prophet of God and every true church
of God had uprisings.
What are you telling me about? People who talk like that do not have any divine
revelation and their souls are as black as midnight. So, every true message
church is always under attack. The only thing is that ministers in most of the
churches are not well equipped and trained in order to expose those devils and
they do not know what to do.

I
have helped, by the grace of God, many of them. They said, “Brother
Bruce, what to do? What to do about this?” I said, “Do thus and
thus and thus. Preach the Word of God; bring it to a showdown.”
“You mean to say, bring it to a showdown, Brother Bruce? The church might
be empty.” I said, “It is better you get rid of the goats. You
might be left with five sheep but then you will have less work.” They
said, “Amen. I am going to kick out all that unbelief, Brother
Bruce.” And they are obedient there in Africa.
It had a bunch of polygamists one time under a minister, oh, and he was
fighting with them. He said, “What to do? They say that the prophet
legalized polygamy. They are sitting right here.” I said, “Kick
everybody out.” He said, “Amen! I have done it already and all of
them are outside. I remained with just about a dozen.” I said,
“Preach to that dozen. Jesus had twelve of them and one was a Judas so,
look out for Judas rising in any case.” So, when you think you got rid of
Judas, there is another one seated there.

As
we move closer to the token, the token’s land I will call it so you will
understand the type, you will have greater and greater manifestations until
this church here that follows the message reaches to Kadesh Barnea. And when we
reach to Kadesh Barnea we will have the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So now,
while you are at rest Satan is plotting how to devour a few more souls. One
soul is worth to the Almighty more than the world, and he knows how it pains
the Almighty, so if he could catch one soul he rejoices. Yes. And the Lord said,

Luke 12:51-53<Suppose ye that I am come
to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

For from henceforth there shall be five in
one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

The father shall be divided against the son,
and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the
daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and
the daughter

in law against her mother in law.>

It
will set the family in disarray. You may say, “I thought that you were
supposed to unite our family?” Yes, it’s supposed to unite the
family but all the family may not be elected, all the family may not mean Life
above everything and God will bring it to a showdown. God will call every person
to a showdown. And when He calls for that showdown they will have to show their
colours. It might be your father going, it might be your mother going, it might
be five of the children going and five staying, but the Lord said, “I
have come to put enmity and I have put a sword.” What is He doing? He is
pulling out His elected from that household. He always does.

He
sent down two angels, and over here Lot had a
bunch of daughters, he talked to some of them and he sounded to them like a
drunken man. And he had two daughters, and the angels had to snatch their hands
and pull them out of Sodom.
And pulling them out of Sodom
the wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt. Do you see how the Lord
put that sword in that house? Why was the woman looking back after the angel
said do not look back to Sodom?
Her heart was in the world. And these two young girls, they had nasty Sodomite
spirits upon them. They went there and lived with their own father: they gave
him wine to drink. Hear the nasty excuse that they made. They said,
“There is not a man like this in all the earth.” (Genesis 19:31). Lust got into that
cave, and the both of them lived with their father, and they brought out the
Ammonites and the Moabites and they gave Israel trouble. Two bastard sons.
What about the men that were down by Abraham? Weren’t they good men? But,
“there is not a man like this in all the earth.” Lustful sodomite
devils were upon them.

And
some people have these sodomite spirits upon them: visiting the pubs, secretly
going to the dancehalls and sit down under the Word, under the message. And
when these things happen now they get a chance to say, “You see?
It’s a cult.” God will judge you, you hypocrite: making the House
of God a cult to get out of it to fulfill your worldly ambitions and desires.
God will curse you. God knows the hearts of men.

So,
we are dealing with Korah and company. All right! It shocks the little
churches, the little assemblies around the world when somebody rises up, and
speaks blasphemy, and just turns back in
the world, and even fights the message and calls William Branham a false
prophet. It’s here in your Bibles. That should not surprise you. These
things happened for our examples. Now, look at the position of Korah. We
haven’t seen anything yet. Korah was a man that left Egypt with the
princes and all the great men. Those people had seen the ten miracles in Egypt.
Brethren, we haven’t seen anything as yet. The firstborn of all the
Egyptians died by the word of Moses, fire came down, locusts came, the waters
were turned into blood and all kinds of miracles. And those men honoured Moses.
Never was a man used like the man called Moses. Never was a man in contact with
God like Moses. And here these men had seen the Red Sea
opened up and a way was made where there was no way.

I
will like to look at that picture again when we get over, to see how the waters
stood up on both sides. That was a fantastic miracle. How that ever happened?
But I content myself: the God that holds the moon and the sun without posts
since He created them was able to hold the waters from coming back. And Israel crossed
over on dry ground. Oh God! It was gravity plus gravity. The power of God held
those waters. What a fantastic miracle. Oh God! Can you imagine? A fellow; and
here is thirty feet of water, forty feet of water up in the air, and the waves
coming over and not a drop was spilling on the road. And all of a sudden a
shark swimming his way and jumped out of the water unto the road. A fish coming
out here not knowing that the water was divided. Probably God held back all the
animals from swimming out of that water otherwise it would have been a
disaster. Think of the reality of that. I believe that. You may say, “You
believe that?” With all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and we believe
that. God’s Word is true and the Bible is right from Genesis to
Revelation. God doesn’t need any big brain man to interpret His Word. No
sir! The Bible is right and we are living epistles known and read of all men.
We are representatives of the Bible. The Bible said He will clean up sinners.
And we were cleansed by the blood of the Lamb: made ladies out of women,
holding the youths together, holding men for decades. The power of God. Living
examples. I thank God for that

And
this man after he had seen the Red Sea opened.
Think of this group that was going to withstand Moses. Who is a dog like me?
Who is a dog like anyone of us here? They had seen all those things and on top
of that, so they would not have any doubts, after the Red Sea opened, they came
up to the mountain
of God and they heard the
voice of God speaking. God was confirming Moses. And they had seen Moses went
up into the mountain, and spent forty days, and God wrote the Ten Commandments
with His own finger, burnt it on plates of stone and he brought it back.
Beloved, and when he came down his face shone like an angel, that he had to put
a veil on it. He became one with the pillar of fire. He blended in with God so
much until his face shone like an angel. And Moses put a veil on his face, and
he came down from the mountain and he said, “Now let us go.” And he
went, and journeyed and he brought water out of a dry rock. And I believe Korah
was there when the other miracles took place. They knew that, they had seen the
judgements of God, they had seen when the people murmured.

Satan’s tactics – how the devil devours souls

How
does the devil come to devour your soul? He has to have certain people
murmuring, and you start hearing their murmurings and then you agree with the
murmurings. The person must have some influence; they must have some respect
from you. This is not a strange thing to us. This is the way the devil moves. They
sat and they heard. What was the problem? How on earth Korah could have done
such a thing: to talk to Moses in such a manner? How on earth two hundred and
fifty princes could have followed that man? How on earth Abiram, a great priest
could have followed him? How on earth the people could have listened to this
man under a prophet, and a church standing there with the pillar of fire over
it and the cloud over it? And when God wanted to talk to Moses He called him
over, and in the sight of all Israel
the cloud used to stand there and God spoke out of the cloud and the pillar of
fire. And all of them knew that God was living inside of that pillar of fire.

Hebrews 12:29 <For our God is a consuming
fire. >

You
are talking about the deceit in the hearts of men. You are talking about
wickedness in the hearts of men. “What was it that caused that, Brother
Bruce? What was it that ever caused such a great man to backslide, to come up
against the message, Brother Bruce? Tell us. Why was it that after a man had seen
all of that he could have actually behaved so rudely to the prophet?” It
bothers people up to now: how a man could rise up in the little churches and
carry away a number of people unto death.
First of all, Satan must get upon them, and when they become demon possessed,
they change from one man to the next. It is written of Judas, “And Satan
entered into Judas’ heart.” Because Jesus had exposed him, he was
not willing to repent, and when that happened Satan entered into the heart of
Judas Iscariot. Jesus said, “What thou have to do, do quickly.”

John 13:27 <And after the sop Satan
entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.>

Do
you think Jesus was going to cry? Now, He knew Judas came from hell and was
going back to hell, that was why he was murmuring for three and a half years,
and was a thief stealing the money from the money bag.

The
Lord bless you, Brother Watson, if you are tuned in. Brother Asserwathan,
Brother Nissan, Brother Solomon Burt, my precious Brother Kenny Mc Gahee and
all there in G.C.C., our brethren in St. Lucia
and all that will hear this in Africa, may the
heavenly Father bless you. We love you all, and the church here sends greetings to all of you in the Name of Jesus Christ.

The
kingdom of God is nigh at hand because Judas is
making himself manifest around the world. Yes. After they experienced and
heard, how on earth such men could have turned against a godly man like that,
that opened the Red Sea, that spoke to God face to face, that broke the
barriers of the mountain, and barriers were set around the mountain and God
said, “Let no man come up here but Moses, and I will allow Joshua to come
up just halfway up the mountain but Moses will come straight into My
presence.”? My God, how could these men have taken such thoughts? How
could they do what they done?

And
that bothers the church how a minister could stand behind the pulpit, and preach
and then fall in adultery. How he could turn around and blaspheme and turn down
the message. How they could rise up and say Brother Branham was wrong here and
wrong there. If the Lord gives me grace, I will preach another message on
something like that. There are certain men that have risen up to correct the message, to correct the
"errors" in the message, to extend the message and to reveal what
Brother Branham did not reveal. They are a bunch of heretics and liars. They
think that they are equal with Brother Branham.

What
turned those people, friends; and it was not him alone. He was carrying down a
lot with him; thousands of people followed this man. He was a ringleader. And
if you notice that when God was speaking, He was speaking of Korah because he
was the ringleader, a man of influence, a false anointed one like we have today
behind the pulpits: false anointed ones in the endtime. So, this man was
anointed, he was a priest, he was a gifted man and he had a position in Israel. God
gave him the position, God anointed him as He anointed all the Pentecostals in
1906 and beyond, but Korah lacked divine revelation on the message of Moses.
Yes. And there came a devil upon him, and the devil that was upon him turned
him in opposition to Moses. Number one: a devil came upon him, and it was
unbelief in the Promised Land that caused him to become defiant to Moses and
you will hear the words just now. He had pride, he had ambition, he had lust
and he had jealousy.

Friends,
whatever is in our lives, we ought to
have laid it on the altar when we
got baptized. This man ought to have left all those things in Egypt land, and if he had not left it in Egypt land, he should have put it down at the Red sea. And if he had not put it down at the Red Sea, he should have put it down by the mountain from where
God spoke, and gave the law and He said, “Thou shall not covet.” (Exodus 20:17). And if he failed then,
he should have put it down at the waters that came out of the rock, but he kept
it and he intended to reach the Promised Land with all of that in his soul.
I’m telling you, friends, it will not work. If that was God’s plan
I would have already given this congregation many years ago. But verily, verily
I say unto you, you must fulfill all the Word of God, for total obedience to the Word of God entitles you to the
Token’s land.

Sometimes
we look at things on the surface, but then the real problem is unbelief. They
do not actually believe. You preach something in the Word and people do not
care anything about fulfilling that. Why? You say, “How that brother
could have behaved like that? You called him by the deacons, you disciplined
the man.” Yes, but the thing is unbelief. He does not believe this
promise is coming. He does not believe all the Bible. He does not believe all
the message but he would not confess that through his mouth. Yes. Brother
Branham said, “You do those things because you do not believe.”

Quote
W.M.B.: 63 And what is sin? I'd like
to stop here just a moment. Many people think smoking cigarettes is a sin. It
isn't. Many people think that lying is a sin. It isn't. Committing adultery,
that isn't sin. That's the attributes of unbelief. The reason you do those
things is because you are an unbeliever. (Oncoming
Storm 60-0229).

Yes! You are an
unbeliever. Oh yes! How on earth these princes could have let a man arise, and
influence their minds? How the people could have allowed Korah to influence
them? How Abiram and Dathan could have allowed such a thing after seeing what
they seen? After they heard a man spoke for God. After they heard him bring the
Commandments. After this man was the meekest man upon the earth, and God
sanctioned that, and God said, “I do not talk to Moses like ordinary
prophets. No! No! No!” He said, “I speak to him, lip to ear,”
and they knew that. How on earth could that have happened?

Cherish wrong
habits in life

Brethren,
unbelief in people. How these princes could have allowed such a thing? What
kind of tactics that Korah really used to convince Abiram and Dathan, poor
fellows, against Moses? It had to be a terrible kind of tactics. He had to use
lies. Maybe he went talking to Miriam. Oh yes! Maybe he went talking to people
and telling them that they were not justified, because Moses leaned on his
staff and judged Israel
from morning to evening, and maybe he went over there and said, “That
case, if I was there, I would have judged it differently.” Tactics of the
devil. “You remembered that day that Moses rebuked you? I felt real sorry
for you, brother. Remember I was a witness in that? I want to tell you
something: Moses put those words in my mouth.” You lying hypocrite.

So now, when the
enemy comes to destroy and to kill, he employs lies because he is the father of
lies. That is the way that he fights. Yes, that is the way he fights. Now
brethren, let us get down to it. The only way that Korah could have gotten a
following, was that after all what the people had seen, they cherished many
things of the world in their hearts. Listen to that properly, brethren. And
some of them thought that they should have been better used by Moses, and they
had that in their "craws" from Egypt Land,
that they should have had a position in the church. Yes, friend. Lust! Some of
them heard the law but they disagreed with the law. The law seemed too stiff to
follow, and they were not looking at the fact that God gave the law. Moses was
too hard. They did not like the strictness of Moses. Yes! And they were upset
with all that they had seen and they cherished things in their lives.

Now,
when you cherish things in your lives,
friends, certain things will rise up in the church, and you will have to make a
decision what you are doing with them, because you will hear the Word of God
calling for it, and the more you refuse to give that up is the more your heart
will be hardened, and when your heart becomes hardened the devil is going to
come to destroy, he is going to come and kill, he is coming to steal souls. O
yes! Then if that does not work, the devil is going to raise up somebody to
talk to you. He will use a mouth to talk to you.

So
now, the only way that this great company could have followed Moses; they were
a bunch of dissatisfied people with the ministry of Moses. And people came
under the message but they are dissatisfied with the holiness message, and the
holiness standards laid down by William Branham, yes, because they want the
things of the world, and they want the things that they used to follow in
so-called Pentecost.

So
first of all, when they heard the message they disagreed with certain things.
“Well, I do not see anything in sports.” And they will go out and
play sports. “I do not see anything in wearing a tight dress. I do not
see anything with a television. I do not see anything in this, and I do not see
anything in that high heeled shoes, after all it is not so high.” Now,
tell me if that is not the picture today? It is the very same thing. Why would
the prophet command all these things in the holiness message, and why people
have broken the Word in such a defiant way? They have broken the Word of God in
that defiant way because they never
accepted it. It is their unbelief.

They do not even believe that there is
another Outpouring of the Spirit. No, they do not want an Outpouring because
they want to enjoy the world. There are people that wish that the Rapture does
not take place in a hurry. Because they want to spend out the money that they
made, and enjoy the new house and they want to complete their university
education. So, not everybody that is under the message is yearning for an
Outpouring and the Rapture. No. They figure that they are going to lose out;
they want to get that girl and marry her in three months.

So
friends, this message is saying, whatever
is in your heart you better get rid of it otherwise you will end up with
Korah and his company. So now, since the people did not want to adjust to all
the message of William Branham, the false anointed ones were sent out by Satan
to lead those dissatisfied people. So, you have thousands of assemblies around
the world and who ever is dissatisfied with the holiness message, then you have
a preacher to shepherd them, to keep that kind of flock, and that is what is
going on.

So, these people had to be dissatisfied.
They had unbelief down in the heart. Some of them had skepticism against Moses.
Yes. Some were speaking evil of Moses already. Some did not like Aaron and they
were jealous of his position. So now, Korah came in as a pretended deliverer.
And he came in as a pretended deliverer, from a cult. In other words, “We
followed a cult. We followed a heretic.” That was the summary. “We
followed a cult. I do not know how I got my family into this, Brother Abiram.
Brother Dathan, I am the one that talked you into leaving Egypt but that
was the land of milk and honey.” Brethren, God said, “I have heard
the groaning and the crying of the children of Israel.” (Exodus 3:9) They were saying it was the land of milk and honey.

How could those princes turn? They were
dissatisfied with the Word of God; they were dissatisfied with the ministry and they were borderline believers,
towing the line. Yes. Sceptics, talking about the message when they went home,
of what they disagreed with and what they agreed with, and what they did not
like. Yes, friends. And what the ministry should have done, and the decision
they should have taken and how they should have treated Miriam. They were a
"bright" people. Oh yes. I could go into a long something here but
you could imagine the rest. But this man was using his influence, this man
became demon possessed, this man was being used of the devil to swallow and
devour souls. He must have come as a deliverer, like Satan in the Garden of
Eden, bringing more knowledge, bringing more understanding. What were the
tactics that he used to persuade these people? It was not an easy thing to
persuade people under a prophet. No. People with these things in their lives
were going to hear it; they were going to accept it. They were looking for
something like that. Yes! Their hearts were bad hearts. They were wicked in their
hearts and they had unbelief in their hearts. These people were wicked people,
fussing and finding fault with Moses, yes, did not like Moses’ decision.
The meekest man on earth and some of them hated the man.

The
devil arose with gifted men, like the false anointed ones today, and these are
the men that are causing the trouble around the world in the message. People do
not realize it, and then they are so dumb, they say, “Do not preach
against anybody. All of us are one.”
You are a dumb preacher. The prophet preached, ‘Anointed Ones In The Endtime.’ Where are the false
anointed ones? They are behind the pulpits today; and your love gospel is
covering-up the false anointed ones, and shading the false anointed ones but
E.O.D.H. is exposing them, therefore we are of God.

I
John 4:6 <We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of
God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of
error.>

Now friend,
Korah finalized in his mind, after contemplations and not believing that the
Outpouring was going to come, the Token’s Land, and he concluded that
“I have followed a cult.” He became a sceptic of the Word. When he
believed that he followed a cult, the man started thinking of Moses as a man
who lifted up himself. And Korah went out with such influence to convince the
people that Moses was wrong, that there was no Token coming, there was no
Outpouring coming, no land we are going to get. Yes! It was unbelief. Maybe he
consulted Miriam. She had a little grouse against her brother. And after they
heard one or two things from the mouth of Korah, it opened up their minds to be
more observant to Moses. In other words, “Korah, I really seen what you
are saying. I had full confidence in that Moses until you spoke to me. I really
see how he is partial. Can you think his own sister does not respect him? And
you know we heard the story of this black woman that he married? That was a
terrible thing. And do you know how that story went, Abiram? Everybody looked
at Moses as a holy man; the whole congregation is holy. That man committed a
terrible crime in time past. He went to fight down in Ethiopia, and a
woman over there, the princess seen him, and she sent a message to him that
‘I would overthrow the country and I will be a spy if you will marry
me.’ And he consented to that, and after the war was over Moses married
the black woman, he being an Israelite with brown skin.”

Miriam
picked up that too. She spoke evil of Moses because of the Ethiopian woman,
which was the Cushite woman. She was a Negro woman. Blind guides forgot to realize
that, that marriage took place before Moses was saved and God winked at his
ignorance. But she found it fit to bring up the man’s past, for her own
convenience. It was jealousy. She became possessive of her brother, possessive
of her brother’s family. She wanted to be like a tabret in their sight,
and be in their house every day, and if she could not get that kind of a
pampering and petting, then she was going to stand off, and influence her
brother. That is how the devil moves, children. You should know all of that
already. Yes. They went back in history and picked up these things.

Bedding ground
before a fall

So
now, when he anointed Korah, little did they know that when they started
listening to Korah, friend, that anointing from that demon was falling on them,
changing their vision, changing their understanding of Moses. But do not
forget, they had a bedding ground for it. You got to have a bedding ground
before you turn against the Word. You got to have a bedding ground before you
come against God’s servant. You have to be an unbeliever, a sceptic; you
have to be a nasty man and a nasty woman. You’ve got to be full of hatred
and malice, and ungrateful for what God has brought you to. That is the only
way it could happen. You got to have secret sins in your life, so, you are
happy for a man like Korah. “Yes, Brother Korah, I remember the day that
Moses stood up on the pulpit and rebuked me. Boy, that hurt me.” Yes.
“Sister, I was just looking and I felt so sorry for you.” You
Absalom, devil you.

The
seals are opened today. “You know what I will do, Brother Korah? Do you
think this is a wise idea? I will leave off certain days of service. I used to
be a slave under that church. I never missed one service. You know what I will
do? I have a wedding to go to on Sunday and my husband wanted to take me out on
the beach. What I think is that I got a little brainwashed.” “Ahh!
Sister, you caught the revelation. Moses has brainwashed the people.” The
same man that was saying the people were brainwashed. He was brainwashing them
away from the Word of God. Yes. Brainwashing.

You
want to call deliverance out of Egypt
brainwashing? Brethren, “the people are brainwashed in Bethel here”, many people say. But the
"brainwashing" causes them to be ladies, and wear proper clothing,
live morally, young men with a clean shaven face, took off the moustache just
like the prophet commanded, brethren, and live clean lives. We are not drug
addicts. "Brainwashing" took us away from drugs, imagine that? Then,
if this is brainwashing, give us brainwashing. But I assure you that this is
not brainwashing; it is heart washing by the blood of Jesus Christ. And dogs,
pot hounds that testified and spoke about how great it is, and how thankful they
are that God used the ministers to bring their families from the world, and
brought their wives, could follow Korah, Abiram and Dathan and say, “It
is a brainwashing of Moses.” God will curse you because your heart knows
better. "Brainwashing" saved us from A.I.D.S.
"Brainwashing" saved up from herpes. "Brainwashing" saved
us from jail. "Brainwashing" brought us from marijuana and cocaine.
"Brainwashing brought us from all the cults and all the organizations,
brought us, my brother, from the Hindu religion and the Muslim religion.
"Brainwashing" did that. That is what these hypocrites want to say.
Yes. It is a heart washing. I tell you right here, it is a heart washing. And
whosoever is telling you that, wants to wash your brains, and take you away
from the Promise of God and take you to Hell. That is what is happening.

“So,
I will leave off one or two days of service there, Brother Korah, because I had
been a slave to that church. Anything that Moses told me I just ran and did.
Yes. I never understood these things until you spoke to me last week.”
This was a build up you know. It was building up to a showdown. So now, Korah
was working like a serpent in-between, and he was gathering support. So, he got
a man with him called Abiram; he got a man called Dathan. Oh my! Their alliance
was getting great, and then they persuaded two hundred and fifty princes,
renowned men, the Bible said. Men of renown. And after they got them, friends,
they started getting the people, thousands of them, tens of thousands of them,
and they brought them together, and everybody had one voice, and they came
under that influence that, “We
followed a cult. We should have stayed over in Egypt. There is no land of promise
to go to. When will we reach there? Don’t you see the hardship and
everything? And besides that, we hate this light manna that is falling from
heaven.” They forgot that they were hungry and God sent manna, and the
manna was still falling, and while the blessing was falling they were
blaspheming God. You are talking about man being deceitful. And while the
blessing was falling upon people under this message, , and the Spirit of God
moved among them and the truth is being spoken from the opening of the seals,
they blaspheme God and deny the holiness message. Yes.

So,
the influence spreaded. See? Is not that the same spirit, children? Is not that
how it works? [Congregation says,
“Amen!”] The seals are opened today. I am preaching seals
revelation over here in the Book of Exodus. These things do not fool us. We are
a people that understand the opening of the seals. This should not alarm us,
friend. No! We are prepared. Yes sir! "Brainwashed."

So,
you had a bunch of sceptics now that were going to follow Korah. Abiram went
and influenced his congregation that he led under Moses. He went over there, my
brother, to take them out because he was the one that led them under the
message. But he was not able to do it. A lot of people brought you here, but
they cannot take you out. God used them as vessels of dishonour and then broke
the vessels. You cannot tell God what to do. There are vessels of honour and
vessels of dishonour.

II Timothy 2:20 <But in a great house
there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of
earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.>

And those that
brought you here cannot take you out, unless you love the world or you love the
things of the world, and you are hearing some kind of a sceptic or you are
hearing some kind of a cult talk somewhere. It will possess your soul. Yes, the
devil.

So,
Korah was anointed. And there were three great men: Korah, Abiram and Dathan,
and they were talking. Oh yes! Nobody had seen them talking but they were
getting ready for Moses, and they were pretending to be deliverers amongst the
people. Oh yes! They persuaded many people against the man called Moses;
picking on his life, picking on this, picking on that. Certain people were
getting wroth against Moses. They had a murmuring habit in any case. So, they
started murmuring, and when he had a good gathering, men of influence, princes,
singers, priests, Levites, he felt strong. Yes. The rest of the congregation
did not know what was going on but there
was a faction, there was a division going on, yes, Satan was moving by his
tale and he was going to pull down a third of the stars.

So,
they yielded to the spirit of Satan. Why? Because of unbelief, because of sins
in their lives. Yes, hate. They hated Moses, hated Moses’ family and were
jealous of Moses’ family. They were upset
with correction that took place long before. They had a stand off, they did
not like the strictness of Moses, and then when Korah arose they thought that
they got a chance back at Moses. They thought they were going to make Moses
ashamed. “We will show Moses that he needs some correction too.” Oh
my!

And
friends, we have heretics around the message, that follow the message, and they
turned against the message but they use the name of Brother Branham. Yes. Even
because they want the world. They have become like organizations and they want
the money instead of the salvation of the sheep. Now, little did this bunch
know that was listening to Korah and thinking they were getting
revelation… Yes. It was a great company. Secret meetings were going on in
their tents. They were moving by night. They were dodging Moses, and one
contacted the next, and the next one contacted the next, yes, and all those
dissatisfied people they said, “Didn’t you hear this? You know
Moses is a backslidden man that we are following, and he really thinks that he
is somebody and he is like a lord over God’s people?” Yes.
“Korah. I tell you. God raised up Korah to deliver us. Yes. Korah is an
anointed preacher, he is a great man, and you know who said that? The princes
you know, two hundred and fifty princes.” Friends, these people were
getting sready to pay with their souls for being influenced by Korah, Abiram,
and Dathan. They were going to pay with
their bodies and pay with their souls. Yes. I will like to read that again.
So, when Korah and his company now, going on for months maybe… Turn back
to Numbers 16, it is beautiful. God could say it better than I could ever. It
is so fantastic. After he had them all influenced and set up now, a day came,
friend, that he was going to attack Moses. You are going to see the disrespect
to Moses. You are going to see when a demon gets upon men and gets upon people,
how they behave. They thought they had it all set. So now, let us look at the
Word.

Showdown tomorrow

Numbers
16:1 <Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and
Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of
Reuben, took men.>

The men that
they took were already influenced. The spirit of the devil had already jumped
from these Korah, Abiram and Dathan, and jumped upon these people. They were
fully influenced.

Numbers 16:2 < And they rose up before
Moses, with certain of the children of Israel (See? The congregation
too) two hundred and fifty princes of the
assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown.>

When the devil
moves, he moves with mighty men, spiritual men, gifted men, preachers, priests.

Numbers 16:3 <And they gathered
themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye
take too much upon you…>

“Moses,
you. You, you Moses.” Let me demonstrate that. Don’t think they
went over like lambs. Can you picture them? These leaders were in front, two
hundred and fifty princes surrounded them, and the people, my brother, were
standing behind by the thousands and this man was anointed enough. This man who
could not even look upon Moses’ face one time, he was so anointed now,
and he could have walked to Moses. He said, “Moses, you take too much
upon yourself.” Yes. In other words, “You are showing off now. You are a dictator. You are ruling over
us, you are a dictator. Yes. You think you know everything and nobody
don’t know anything.”

Numbers 16:3 <Ye take too much upon
you…>

“Every one
of us, all the backsliders, all the black birds, they are holy. There is not an
unspiritual man that is following.

<…every one of them, and the LORD
is among them.>

The Spirit of
the Lord was there because Moses was there..

< …
wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?>

Now, when Moses
seen that spirit manifested, and the disrespect and their argument, Moses knew
what was going to follow next.

Numbers 16:4 <And when Moses heard it, he
fell upon his face.>

He knew that wrath would have come. Whenever people
rise up against God’s servant, that is trying to be sincere and honest
and follow the Word, wrath is determined, souls are going to be destroyed and
Satan is ready to devour souls.

Numbers 16:5 < And he spake unto Korah
and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are
his…>

Moses was even
doing this to deliver the people.

<…and who is holy; and will cause
him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come
near unto him.>

Yes! Tomorrow,
yes, God is going to have a showdown. Do what you want today. God has a showdown.
He said, “I will tell you what to do. Bring up your revelation, take your
censer, bring up all your interpretations and bring up all your
heresies.”

Numbers 16:6-7 <This do; Take you
censers, Korah, and all his company;

And put fire therein, and put incense in
them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth
choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.>

These men were
Levites, brethren, not the ordinary priests. They used to carry the Ark on their shoulders.
Yes. Hear what Moses told them.

Numbers 16:8 <And Moses said unto Korah,
Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that
the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring
you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to
stand before the congregation to minister unto them?>

They
were jealous. They wanted a higher
position. They were not satisfied; they were murmuring against Moses, yes,
they wanted to be interpreters too, like the heretics around the world. They
are not satisfied just to be ministers. They want, my brother, to be
interpreters of the Word. They want to show you where Brother Branham was
wrong. Yes. That is a devil’s spirit. They want to come against the
prophet, and say the prophet should not have said this, and the prophet should
not have said that and the prophet should not have done this. You shut your
mouth. When God sends a prophet, he is
right and everybody is wrong. When God sent Moses, he alone was right and
everybody was wrong. When God sent Moses, he alone was right and Korah was
wrong, Abiram was wrong and Dathan was wrong.

Nobody has a
right to the interpretation of the Word of God. I do not care what university
you came from. I do not care what devil is talking to you. You say anything
contrary to that Word and contradict the message of William Branham, your father is the devil. If the prophet of
God said, “take your moustache off,” off it goes. Yes sir! If he
said a man should not wear a dress and a skirt, it stands that way. Yes. If he
said that our children should not marry unsaved men and women, that stands that
way. If you do contrary to that, you are an unbeliever in the message of the
hour. I do not care what great position that you have as a minister. Yes. That
is what the Bible said. Friends, little did these people know that Satan was
coming for their souls. They were very jubilant. They thought that they had the
victory today over Moses. Now, they were going to "do for" Moses. “Let
us get together and crush Moses once
and for all. He has exalted himself above the congregation for too long.”

Numbers 16:11<For which cause both thou
and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron,
that ye murmur against him?>

Hear this,
brothers and sisters. Watch this demon.

Numbers 16:12 <And Moses sent to call
Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up.>

Disrespect and
defiance to god’s servant

Brethren,
you see the defiance? You see the disrespect? You see how a man could turn for
a lovely minister and a priest, from one night to the next? “We are not
coming up there; you are not God to call us when you want. Who are you? I am
not obligated to you. Every one of us is holy. Every one of us is hearing from
God. God spoke to me last night.” You devil! God is coming to show who
are His.

Numbers 16:12-13 < …We will not come up:

Is it a small thing that thou hast brought
us up (They are talking.) out of a
land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except
thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?>

“I was
happy. I was happy in my sins. I was happy in my organization. I had the Holy
Spirit. I had truth. I received the Token there. What they had on the Day of
Pentecost, I received it in there.” You liar you. Yes sir! “It was
the land of milk and honey. Egypt
was the land of milk and honey, and you brought us now to kill us in the
wilderness, except that thou make thyself altogether a prince over us? A prince
over us.” In other words, “You are getting all the tithes. You are getting all the offerings. Anything
you say, people obey but we are not going to obey you now. You are exposed,
Moses. You make yourself a little god. Yes. If you even kill a man, and you say
you did not do it, people are going to believe it. So therefore it is a cult.
You control the minds of people.” Yes.

Numbers 16:14 <Moreover thou hast not
brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us
inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men?
we will not come up.>

“We are
not coming to talk it over. There isn’t any Token coming. There
isn’t any Outpouring coming. You fooled the people, making them look for
an Outpouring and a Token to come. Now you are calling us up again. We will not
come up.” Yes.

Numbers 16:15 <And Moses was very wroth,
and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one
ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.>

You see the
servant of God? You see that, friends? Now, he could have leaned back on that.
He said, “I have never even taken a donkey from them.” Yes. He
said, “I have never hurt one of them in all my journey, and these men
treat me like an enemy.

Numbers 16:16-18 <And Moses said unto
Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron,
to morrow:

And take every man his censer, and put
incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred
and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

And they took every man his censer, and put
fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.>

Beloved,
there is coming a showdown tomorrow,
and this showdown is going to show who are the five-fold ministry and who are
not the five-fold ministry and who are ordained, brethren, to burn incense in
that certain court. The big thing was that they wanted to burn incense where
Aaron was burning incense, and God said, “It does not appertain to
you.” A man got leprosy one time for that. Yes. They wanted to burn
incense where the high priest was burning incense. They were not satisfied.
They were full of pride and ambition, and Moses said, “Come, bring your
censers, bring it, and burn your incense. Let us see who God will
honour.” And there is coming a day, just tomorrow, everybody will bring
their revelations together, and God will show who are His ministers and who are
not His ministers.

Numbers 16:19 <And Korah gathered all the
congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: (Hear
this) and the glory of the LORD appeared
unto all the congregation.>

Saints, the
glory of the Lord will appear soon, by another Outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Yes.

Numbers 16:20-22 <And the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

Separate yourselves from among this
congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

And they fell upon their faces, and said, O
God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be
wroth with all the congregation?>

Brethren, one
man sinned: Korah, and mixed up all of those people, and God became so angry
that He said, “I will kill everybody.” About two million people.
“I will kill every one of them.” Talking about when God becomes
angry.

Leave the tents of
the false anointed ones – death is imminent

Numbers
16:23-24 <And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you
up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.>

And let me say
this to the world today: come out of the
tabernacle of the false anointed ones. Come out of the tabernacle of Korah,
Abiram and Dathan, for God is getting ready to destroy these heretics and
unbelievers. Yes. Get up out of the tabernacle of Korah, Abiram and Dathan.

Numbers 16:25-26 <And Moses rose up and
went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

And he spake unto the congregation, saying,
Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of
theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.>

Yes.
So, the people who were deceived, friends. When they heard the preaching of the
gospel some of them came to their senses. Yes, and he said, “If you want
to be saved, get away from these wicked men’s tents.” Come out of
their churches. If you want to be saved, leave the false anointed ones’
churches. Leave these heretics. Put down their literatures. Put down their
books. Yes. Stop studying their heresies, wherever you are.

Numbers 16:27 <So they gat up from the
tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram
came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their
sons, and their little children.>

Think of that,
friends, what a father could cause his family, by following the wrong thing,
and having the wrong assessment.
Their wives, brethren, their children, brethren, their little ones, their
grandchildren, their little ones: pretty teenagers, nice girls, nice boys. They
had no revelation. They did not understand what was going on but they wanted to
side with daddy. They wanted the flesh support: mummy.

Numbers 16:28-29 <And Moses said, Hereby
ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not
done them of mine own mind.

If
these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the
visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.>

That was a
prophet talking. Yes sir!

Numbers 16:30 <But if the LORD make a new
thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that
appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall
understand that these men have provoked the LORD>

When
you come up against the message, you come up against the Word. You want to
change what William Branham brought to us. You want to call his name in
defiance. You want to speak
disrespectfully. In days of Brother Branham hundreds of people died. I met
personal witnesses. Brother Branham never spoke of it on tape very much. But I
met preachers that said, “I could show you hundreds of graves of people
that came up against Brother Branham and they are dead and buried today.”
Witnesses I am talking about. Yes. These men provoked the Lord. They never
provoked Moses, they provoked the Lord.

Numbers 16:31-35 <And it came to pass, as
he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder
that was under them:

And the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto
Korah, and all their goods.

They, and all that appertained to them, went
down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from
among the congregation.

And all Israel that were round about them
fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

And there came out a fire from the LORD, and
consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.>

And
there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men
that offered incense. Yes friend, these heretics will die with the revelation
when that Outpouring of the Holy Ghost comes, and when that Mount Zion showdown comes. They will die with
their revelation and their heresies. Yes, my brethren.

<And there came out a fire from the LORD,
and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.>

To follow a heretic is death

It is a terrible thing to follow a heretic. Terrible thing, my brethren, to
follow anybody that speaks evil against the message of the hour, that tries to
change the Word of God and will become defiant. Take no sides with that and the
command is: "separate yourselves from the tents of these wicked men,"
and that is my message today. Any uprising in Bethel, any uprising in India,
any uprising over there in Africa, the Philippines, around the world in the
message, separate yourselves from the tents of these wicked men. Korah, Abiram
and Dathan are right now functioning under this message and that is the present
situation of the church. There is a little more to this message. We have to
bring it down to Kadesh Barnea, to show you before they entered that Land, how
damnable it got before they hit that Land, and the church will travel the same
journey. Yes. It will come down to the place where they take our houses, and
take our lands and call for our very lives. And there will be betrayers right
among us, that will rise up like Judas and give us a kiss of betrayal.

But
today we are giving him a sop, to identify Judas, and the sop is identifying
Judas. When people hear the Words of Life and know what the prophet of God,
Brother Branham said, and friend, they want to walk contrary to that, there
will arise something to take them away, but the elect will stand firm. There
were those that stood with Moses. The elders stood with him, and friends, the people
stood with him, and they were right behind Moses and they stood firm. That is
the group that we belong to. Yes. We are following this message down to the
letter.

Be
careful with any mouth that speaks evil concerning the Bible, concerning the
message, concerning the ministry and concerning a man of God. It is death. Yes. The bad thing with
that, brethren, was that those people, their bodies did not only die, they went
to hell. My God! Those little children. I hope the Lord saved them somehow.
Jesus confirmed that. He said, “Your fathers did eat manner in the
wilderness, and they are everyone dead.” (John 6:49) The prophet of God said that, “That means eternal
separation from God.”

Quote W.M.B.:
178  And God never did forgive them. He
destroyed them right there in the wilderness. And Jesus said, Himself,
"They'll never come; there's none of them saved." Jesus said...

They said,
"Our fathers eat manna in the wilderness for forty years."

He said,
"They're every one dead (eternally separated from God). They're every one
dead." Certainly. Because they listened to an error. When Moses
a-vindicated of God and a leader to show them the way to the promised land, and
they had come so far all right, but then they wouldn't go along with him. (Modern Events Are Made
Clear By Prophecy 65-1206).

They died and they went to hell. Those people that
went to hell, their souls have been in prison for those thousands of years
awaiting the White Throne Judgement to be cast into the lake of fire. It does
not pay off, brethren.

Humble your souls before god

Let us humble
our hearts, humble our minds, brethren, humble our souls, brethren. Yes.
Put down these things of the world, brethren. Put down your malice, put down
your hatred, put down your enmity, brethren, put down your fusses, put down
your murmurings, brethren, put down the things that you love and you cherish.
God is going to call for it. If it is sodomy, He is going to call for it. If it
is adultery, He will call for it. Fornication, He will call for it, friend. And
if you love those things more than Life and the Word, you will put up a fuss.
You will want to kill the minister. You will want to put him in jail. You will
run down his name. You will tell lies, beloved, throughout the country. That is
what you will do. Yes, all because you want to safeguard the things that you
love, because wheresoever a man’s treasure is, there will his heart be
also, and if you treasure the wrong things, that is where your heart is going
to be. Yes. And the Lord could never come down and bless you.

How
many enjoyed that tonight. [Congregation
says, “Amen!”] Let us go and do the right things brethren. When
things happen in the House of God, and we see people fall in other assemblies,
people fall among us, brethren, that is to examine our hearts. The Bible said
it happened for our example that we should not fall. (Hebrews 4:11) God is trying to save the people. Even though you
are wrong, the Lord is trying to save you from falling. That is it. Yes. Not to
destroy us, but to save us. Let us stand and sing a song, brethren.
Amen!
