FOREWORD
On 22nd October 2000, there
was a great gathering of several church groups and many message believers at Bethel
(The House of God), Calcutta Road No.2, Freeport, Trinidad, West Indies, for
the purpose of exposing fourteen Heretical
Articles.
Several God called men, ministers of
the Message of Malachi 4:5&6 was personally engaged in this most unpopular
exercise. Ministers from overseas, the Caribbean, South and North America also
supported such Exposition of Heresies in various ways.
These men of God identified with the
Message of Malachi 4:5&6 for decades, successfully fought all heretical
articles that tried to change the End Time Message. Having had perfect
knowledge of the historical background of the Message and it's progress as well
as infiltration of heretical teachings by false Prophets and Teachers in their
respective regions, they were summoned to the great spiritual warfare by the
Pastors of Bethel Church.
Some of these men of God was also
represented in a most fantastic exposition of false doctrines in recent books
of year 2000. The written word and quotations of Brother Branham was employed and
successfully exposed many false interpretations by false prophets.
They have taken the same simple
approach of exposing fourteen articles of this exposition which is on magnetic
tapes and videos.
This booklet is a documentary
reproduction of such magnetic taped sermons. If you are edified by these
expositions of Damnable Heresies, feel free to contact us for other free copies
of this booklet. Also for exposition of other heretical articles soon to be published by the freewill contribution
of ministers who hates the deeds of the nicolaitans as God hates it. (Revelation
2:6)
This booklet is free of all charges and
can be reproduced by believers of the message of Malachi 4:5&6, but
strictly without alteration in any form. We hereby apologize for any graphical errors in this booklet.
By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
there is an international body of people who are identified with the Ministry
of our Lord Jesus Christ that was entrusted to a humble little prophet of the
20th century-William Marrion Branham.
In 1933 a supernatural light appeared
in the form of a star and the audible Voice of God spoke from heaven saying
"As John the baptist forerun my first coming, even so shall my prophet
William Branham forerun my second coming."
This incident was witnessed by over 400
people while Brother Branham made ready to baptize his 17th candidate, at the Ohio River U.S.A in June
1933.
A halo of light was photographed at
Houston, Texas in 1950, over the head of Brother Branham documented as the only
Supernatural being ever photographed in history and is in the Hall of Arts,
Washington DC USA. This photograph can be seen in a book written by Gorden Lindsay entitled "A Man Sent From
God". Included is a photocopy of a statement of scientific examinations
done by Mr. George Lacy, Investigator of Questioned Documents for the FBI, who
carefully examined the negative in his laboratory and pronounced it absolutely
genuine. This is also reproduced in "Book Three - Supernatural (Life of
William Branham)" where the author quoted him as saying, "To my
knowledge, this is the first time in all the world's history that a
supernatural being has been photographed and scientifically validated."
(Supernatural - The Life of William Branham by Owen Jorgenson)
This is the same Angel of the Covenant
in a Pillar of Light who led the
children of Israel out of Egypt's Land under Moses the Prophet. It's the same
one that struck Saul with blindness on the road to Damascus (Acts Chapter 9)
In 1946 the Angel of the Lord visibly
appeared to William Branham in human form and commissioned him to carry a gift
of Divine Healing into all the World. This event spearheaded the greatest
revival since the days of the apostles,
out of it came forth most of the known evangelists of that time including Oral
Roberts and T. L. Osborn.
The supernatural signs, wonders and
miracles that were done by Jesus Christ in the Ministry of Brother Branham were
unmatched by any evangelist up to this day. The sick were healed by the
millions and the dead were raised. About three million souls were saved by this
unique God given Ministry of the 20th Century Prophet.
We as an international body of people
believe him to be the literal fulfillment of Malachi Chapter 4:5&6,
Revelation 3:14, and 10:7. He was used of God to reveal the mysteries of the
bible and herald the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, Matthew 25:6 "Behold
the Bridegroom cometh go ye out to meet him."
As in other ages and prophetic
ministries, when God visited the generations delivering
i
his messages and when the people heard the words of God, always a
mixed multitude followed. The same hold true under the ministry of William
Branham. There is a mixed multitude following his message today as they followed
Moses under the Pillar of Fire (2Corinthians 10). Ambitious men have arisen,
perverting the message, bringing in Damnable Heresies as they did under the
ministry of Paul the Apostle (Acts 20, Galatians 1:8-9) Such actions did not
invalidate the fact that Paul was ordained as the light to the Gentiles with
the message of hope and salvation to them. It's the same with the messenger
William Branham and his message to the end time elected bride.
Therefore if the exposition of these
Heretical Articles should reach you may it not be interpreted other than what
is stated of William Branham and his message. "Behold I send unto you
Elijah the Prophet before the coming to the great and dreadful day of the
Lord" (Malachi 4:5)
I greet all ministers and congregations
from around the country that are
assembled here today, and those around
the world, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Special greetings to the
believers of this end time message of Malachi 4: 5 and 6 around the world who
will read this. My honest desire is that the Lord mend his broken body and
unite the Bride in one faith and one body unto himself as he promised.
Therefore we trust that our
contributions today will bring you closer to the fulfillment of that vision.
Truth unites the church but heresy divides it. 1 Corinthians 11: 18-19
During the year 2000, certain doctrines
were presented to us, pastors and congregations, from various sources. After
much prayerful examination and
consideration by the word and the message of the hour, we concluded that such
teachings are unscriptural and heretical.
Thus we deem our gathering today of
utmost importance and a historic event, we feel obligated and compelled in the
spirit, as defenders of the faith to respond to such articles of damnable
heresies in the most positive scriptural manner. Our defense will be supported
by the message of God's restoration Prophet
Elijah, Matthew 17:11 and Malachi 4:5.
These
messages "Exposition of Damnable Heresies - Bars of Interpretation",
Articles 1-14 are for the edification of the bride world wide, to give an
answer to those who have projected such doctrines to us and to better equip all
who contend for the faith and the promises of God delivered to us by Brother
Branham.
If these messages happen to reach you,
may it be fully understood, that they are not intended as a personal attack
on any individual or group. They are purposely designed by the spirit to
expose these damnable heresies injected into the message of Christ. We do
not in any form indicate that we are ministers holding the offices of Prophets,
eighth messenger, Christ, Son of Man or any other office gifts. Such
offices are not necessary for the exposition of damnable heresies especially
after the major Prophet, William Branham has delivered the faith.

2Timothy 4:1-4 -
"I charge thee therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who
shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the
word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
long-suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears
from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
Also the church was commanded by the
first church age messenger Bro. Paul to curse anyone who will preach anything
contrary to the message.
Galatians 1:8 - "But though we or
an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed."
As we approach this task of exposing
these heretical articles for the edification of the bride of Christ, we, with
full assurance of faith, commissioned by the word and Christ, take for our
example the prophets and the apostles, even our Prophet, Brother Branham who
followed in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ, contending for the faith as an individual against the
whole religious world.
We are commissioned by scripture to
earnestly contend for the faith.
Jude 1:1-4 - "Jude the servant of
Jesus Christ and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the
Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ and called.
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be
multiplied.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to
write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith
which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in
unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men,
turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God,
and our Lord Jesus Christ."
These interpretations injected into the
message are discerned as prophesy being
fulfilled in accordance with a dream
given to Brother Branham in 1965."Works
is Faith Expressed"
He dreamt that there were good people
imprisoned behind ten inch thick bars of iron. Message followers and
organizational members were represented in there, they were beating their heads
against those iron bars, waiting for deliverance to come.
Soon it will come is our prayer.
We entitle this subject this morning,
"Exposition of Damnable Heresies -
Bars of Interpretation".
2Peter 2:1-2 - "But there were false prophets also among the people, even
as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that brought them, and bring upon themselves
swift destruction.
iii
And many shall follow their pernicious
ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of."
Definition of the word
"Heresy"
What is a Heresy. In the New Testament:
1. A
chosen course of thought and action; hence one's chosen opinion, *tenet and so
a sect or party, as the Sadducees (Acts 5:17); the Pharisees (15:5;26:5); the
Christians (25:5,14, 28:22).
2. Dissensions
arising from diversity of opinions and aims (Galatians 5:20; 1Corinthians
11:19).
3. Doctrinal
departures from revealed truths, or erroneous views (Titus 3:10;
2Peter 2:1)
Against
such departures the apostles vigorously warned the Church (Acts 20:29; Phil.
3:2)
Quotation
of Brother Branham on Bars of Interpretation:
"I
had a dream, the other morning. I don't dream very often. I'm not a dreamer.
But I dreamed that I seen a man, a young fellow in shackles, he was trying to
get out, and I said...Somebody told me, said, "Those are horrible people,
don't have nothing to do with them," And I seen this young fellow getting
out of his shackles so I just let him alone. I thought, "I'll just see
what he does." So he got out, and he was a nice fellow. And I seen others
trying to get out.
Now,
this is only a dream. And I walked over this a-way and I seen a brother, Roy
Borders, a very good friend of mine, lives in California. Looked like there's
something wrong, his eyes was half closed, and great big...maybe cancer or
something over his eyes. And I...someone was trying to pull me away from him. I
screamed, "Brother Borders! In the Name of the Lord Jesus, snap out of
that!" And he just barely could speak, saying, "Brother Branham,
it'll have to take something more that this. I just can't grasp it, Brother
Branham. I just can't grasp it." I said, "O Brother Borders," I
love him.
And
someone pulled me away, and I looked, and it was a lady standing over here.
The...when I was a little boy, I used to haul groceries from the grocery store
to the people. And her name was Mrs. Fenton, she lives in Jeffersonville yet, a
personal friend to the wife and I. And she said, "Brother Branham, deliver
us from this."
Said,
"This is a house of hell." And said, "You've been misunderstood
these people, too." Said, "These people are fine people, but..."
And
I looked over there, and like a great big cellar, or big walls, down beneath a
great big cave; and great iron bars, eight or ten inches thick. And people, out
of their mind, twisted arms and legs, beating their head like that. And she was
crying, saying, "Deliver the people, Brother Branham." Said,
"Help us, we're in trouble." She herself, I know her, she belongs to
the...I believe the Church of Christ, or the Christian church, called Church of
the Brethren. So she... I looked around, and I said, "I wished I
could." And go on, looking around; and I ...my little, bitty body and them
great, big iron bars; and those poor people in there. And you couldn't get to
them, them iron bars was setting
iv
close
together. And I looked, and they were beating their head like they were out of
their mind.
And
I seen some lights flickering around in there. And I looked up, and there stood
the Lord Jesus with a lights of rainbow around Him. He was looking right
straight to me, said, "Deliver those people." And He went away.
And
I thought, "Well, how could I deliver them? I-I haven't got strength
enough in my arms to break those bars."
So I said, "House of Hell, give away to the Name of Jesus
Christ."
And
all the creaking and pooping, and...and the rocks a-rolling, and bars
a-falling; and people running, screaming, "Delivered!" and screaming
at the top of their voice, and was all delivered. And I was screaming then, "Brother Roy Borders, where are
you? Where are you? God is delivering His people! Where are you, Brother
Borders?" I've wondered about that. (Works is Faith Expressed, 11.26.65
pages 4-6)
I now present unto you, born again
sons, filled by the Holy Ghost, evident by the word and the revelation which
they preach and by their sanctified, holy and irreproachable lives lived out
before God and men for decades.
Amen, so let it be....
"Thus
Satan knows assuredly that the original church at Pentecost with the power of
God (Mark sixteen in action) is the True Church that Jesus claims as His own.
All else is false. It has to be.
Now
remember this, Christ in the True Church is a continuation of the Book of Acts.
But the Book of Revelation shows how that the antichrist spirit would come into
the church and defile it, making it lukewarm, formal and powerless. It exposes
Satan revealing his works (attempted destruction of God's people and the
discrediting of God's word) right down to the time he is cast into the lake of
fire. He fights that. He cannot stand it. He knows that if the people get the
TRUE REVELATION of the TRUE CHURCH and
what she is, what she stands for and that SHE CAN DO THE GREATER WORKS, she
will be an invincible army. If they get
a true revelation of the two spirits within the framework of the
Christian Church, and by God's Spirit discern and withstand the anti-christ spirit,
Satan will be powerless before her. He will be as definitely thwarted today as
when Christ withstood his every effort to gain power over Him in the desert.
Yes. Satan hates revelation. But we love it. With true revelation in our lives,
the gates of hell cannot prevail against us, but we will prevail over them.
(Church Age Book - pages 15-16)
"Each office gift understands the message
according to their measure of revelation therefore none should contend with
each other on doctrine. Forget whose doctrine is right or wrong and contend for
love."
I
am Sookdeo Ramnarine a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ and a firm
believer of the end time message of Malachi 4:5&6- Bro. William Branham.
This
is an exposition of erroneous doctrines which states, "Each office gift
understands the message according to their measure of revelation therefore none
should contend with each other on doctrine. Forget whose doctrine is right or
wrong and contend for love."
2Peter
2:1-2 - "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that brought them, and bring upon themselves
swift destruction.
And
many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth
shall be evil spoken of."
2Timothy
4:3-4 - "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having
itching ears;
And
they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto
fables."
1Timothy
4:1 - "Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some
shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of
devils."
I
state clearly here that what I am about to say, is not meant to be a personal
attack on anyone. My purpose is to expose errors and false doctrines associated
with the pure message of God that came by God's Holy anointed prophet William
Branham, to refute these heresies by the scriptures and quotations of the
prophet.
I
believe that one of the main purpose of the ministry of William Branham was to
correct all errors, false doctrines and heresies. This applies also to the
followers of this end time message. Every revelation must dovetail with the
scriptures.
Our
aim is to take what the prophet taught and put it back in the bible. What we
cannot put back in the scriptures we leave for further revelation and leave
that between the prophet and God rather
than try to figure it out and put a wrong twist on the message.
Heresies
cause disunity separation and lost of souls, therefore we guard against it.
Agreement, harmony and unity is lacking amongst the followers of this message
because of heretical teachings.
Amos
3:3 - "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"
Disunity
amongst the followers of the message is because of their disagreement with one
another in their interpretations of the message of the hour. Some have caught a
revelation of the message of William Branham and are united one with another.
"By lack of this revelation is why
we have so many different divisions among us and so much mockery. So much
division among us, is because the people lack that Revelation. See. They lack
that Revelation, the Teachers"
(Christ is the Mystery - page 41,
28.07.63 , Branham Tabernacle)
This
doctrine says - "Each office gift understands the message according to
their measure of Revelation." This is true. But to say, based on this,
none should contend with each other on doctrines is to try to defeat the purpose of the entire Bible, the
message of Jesus, the doctrine of the apostles and indeed the message that came
to us by William Branham.
"That is what happened at Nicaea.
They put over Balaam's doctrine, not the doctrine of God. And they stumbled;
yea they fell. " (Church Age- Page
203-204)
"They became dead men. So the death
to the church started with the simple, little noticed deeds of the Nicolaitans.
From the deeds it went to a doctrine. From the doctrine it embraced the power
of the state and the introduction of paganism. Now in this age it goes to its
own prophetess (teacher) and so it travels on until it will find itself in the
lake of fire, for that is exactly where it is going to end up, in the second death." (Thyatirean Church Age - page 227 )
"See how it started out in the early
church. It was called deeds. Then it became a doctrine. It became the standard.
It became the unbending way. It finally took over and God was pushed aside. Oh,
it started so small, so quietly, so inoffensively. It look so good. It seemed so sound. Then it caught a hold, and like
a python, it squeezed out the very breath and killed all the spirituality there
was in the church."
( Ephesian Church Age - page 93)
John
8:31-32 - "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye
continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And
ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."
The
mark of a true believer is to continue in the word, to walk in the light as the
light is revealed to him. And that believer must come to a Revelation of the
truth to be set free from bondage by Satan’s interpretation of the word and
message of the hour.
False
brethren cannot take all the word and walk in the full light. There are
servants of sin and interpretations, even though they are identified with the
message of the hour. More importantly, they manifest bad attitudes to the ones
that are telling them truth. They will hate, even seek to kill them.
Matthew
7:15 - "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing
but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
2
Corinthians 11:2&3 - "For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy;
for I have espoused you to one husband
that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
But
I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so
your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."
2
Corinthians 11:13-15 - "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And
no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore
it is no great thing if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be
according to their works."
2
Peter chap 2: 1-3 , 14, 19.
John
4:1 - "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they
are of God because many false prophets are gone out into the world"
Jude
1:3&4
The
scripture fully supports that there will be false prophets and teachers who
will pervert the truth by twisting the word for the hour. We must contend for
the faith that was delivered unto us by Malachi 4. It matters much to us if a
man's doctrine is wrong. We must
contend.
"False prophets bring false words
and have false sensations"
(Ye must be born again - 1961)
False
prophets brings false births.
"How are you going to know what's
right and wrong? Give it the word test. That's the way to tell whether it is
right or wrong. That's it, just give it the word test. See what it says about
the word. If it denies the word, it's not of God. See? No matter what it denies
the word, it's not of God.
(Spoken word is the Original Seed Pt 1)
Now
some people have a problem with us criticizing those that are wrong in teaching
and doing contrary to the word.
"I don't feel bad about
criticizing. It's due criticism. I don't want to hurt nobody's feelings, but
I'd rather hurt some man's feelings than to hurt God's feelings"
(Spoken Word, page 77)
"God's will, continually has been
separating, separating and that's what he is doing tonight. That's what he
always does. You can see it in every meeting he separates faith from unbelief.
He speaks out......
.....It is a total separation. We are
not to go back into the world no more, or have anything to do with the world,
but cleave only unto God. Jesus is coming for a bride that is separated from
the things of the world.....
.....if your soul will not punctuate
every promise for this hour with an Amen, there is something wrong somewhere.
You need a separation"
(Total Separation from Unbelief - 1964,
pages 4,5,8)
"And it's the same thing today.
Separating, separated found them. They were not in unity. They could have no
unity, can night have unity with day? Can a believer have unity with an
infidel? Can a man who believe in all the word of God have unity with them who
just believes part of the word of God? God wants separation."
(Oneness with God - 1962)
"This has been Satan's trick since
he worked it first on Eve just to disbelieve a little bit of the word and
always separate three classes of people. The word separates the people. In
every age it's been that way."
(Three Kinds of Believers - 1963)
"I don't care what your pastor
says. I don't care what I say or anybody else says, if it is contrary of God's
vindicated word for the hour the message and so forth, forget it! Stay away
from it! (Doing God a Service without
His will - 1965)
"By their fruits Jesus said you
shall know them, the fruit will tell it. What is the fruit? That's what it is -
their teaching" (Anointed Ones at
the End time - 1965)
Let
us see what the true church should see and how they should act and treat these
false teachers and their false doctrines around the message of the hour.
Revelation
2:2 - "I know thy works and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou
canst not bear them which are evil; and thou hast tried them which say they are
apostles and are not, and hast found them liars."
Did
the early church bear these false apostles and their heresies?? No Sir!!
Then
why should we?
"God can't give a first revelation
then a second revelation. If he did, he would be changing his mind. He can give
a revelation and then add to it.... But God's word can't change. And see what
those false apostles were doing. They came with their own word. The Ephesians
knew the word as Paul had taught it...... They looked those false apostles in
the eye and said, You are therefore false!. Oh that sets my heart on fire. Get
back to the word!!" (Church Ages -
page 83)
On
the basis of what I have just read out of the prophet's own words, I want to
say to all those, whosoever you are and whatsoever office you claim, if you are
preaching or teaching anything contrary to the message of William Branham and
the Bible, you are false. You are a false anointed one. I call upon you to
repent and turn loose of those false doctrines. Every true believer must
separate himself from such misinterpretations in the message of the hour.
Hell
is too good for a preacher that will wrench the word of God out of place. We
are called to rightly divide the word of truth. Precept must be upon precept
and line upon line, then he will cause the weary to rest. There is no hiding
place for false revelations and heresies.
He
says we should contend for love. But we want the genuine love of God not a put
on. There is a plan to get that love. That is laid out in the prophet's
message. We do not believe in any manufactured love, hugs and kisses.
And
don't expose one another's wrong saying that love covereth a multitude of sins.
Love is corrective.
"And now many people might
misunderstand it. LOVE. Love is discipline. You must discipline people, if you
love them.
(Convinced then Concerned - page 11.
Golden Nuggets - page 235)
" If love isn't corrective, then
how can you produce Love? "
(Birth Pains -page 29. Golden
Nuggets-page 235)
Love
is discipline. You must balance it right. The problem is not on the outside,
it's the inside of the believers.Its heart problem.
1John
5:1&2 - "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God;
and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of
him.
By
this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his
commandments"
A
born again child of God will love another born again child of God. That love
springs from the heart. It's a fruit of the spirit of God.
Malachi 4: 5. "Behold I will send unto you Elijah the prophet...."
Revelation
3:14 " And unto the angel of the
church of the Laodiceans..."
Revelation
10:7 " But in the days of the voice
of the seventh angel..."
"To enter God's kingdom the church
do not need revelation and power that much. You can have the genuine Holy Ghost
and be lost and go to hell"
John
3:3&5 - "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jesus
answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of
the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
I
am Roy Barrow, I am a preacher of righteousness. I believe in the Holiness message brought to us by the immortal
Elijah, Malachi 4:5&6 our precious and beloved prophet William Branham.
I
will be dealing with article number two, which says:-"To enter God's
kingdom the church do not need revelation and power that much. You can have the
genuine Holy Ghost and be lost and go to hell".
I
expose by God's grace this article as damnable heresies. To enter the kingdom
of God the church do not need revelation and power that much, but only divine
love. This belief is contrary to the foundation scripture of John Chapter 3,
verses 3 and 5, 6 and 7.
I
say if you have no revelation, you have no foundation to build your church
upon. You are called upon by scriptures
to build your house upon a rock foundation of divine revelation. Before you can
enter the kingdom of God.
Beloved,
the church is built upon the rock of divine revelation. It is a total impossibility
to build your individual church and the church in general, the body of Christ
without having a divine revelation. I want you to know that you cannot enter
into the kingdom of God without having revelation.
To
believe that the church does not need revelation and power that much is not
biblical. This is soul threatening. I strongly object. As a servant of God I
cannot subscribe or support anyone, be it king or priest who believe that the
church do not need revelation and power that much to enter into the kingdom of
God. How else could you enter the kingdom of God but by having revelation and
power according to John 3.
This
belief is erroneous and unfounded. It must be put down and resisted. I cannot
and will not accept it. It is heretical. The message of Malachi 4 does not
support this heresy.
"The importance of revelation by
the Spirit to the true believer can never be over emphasized. Revelation means
more to you that perhaps you realize. Now I am not talking about this book of
revelation and you. I am talking about all revelation. It is tremendously
important to the church" (Church
Age Book - page 13)
"Satan fights revelation
" (Church Age: page 15-16)
"Revelation of God gives you
authority over the devil."
(Church Age: page 16)
"Revelation makes you understand
the truth.
(Church Age: page 26)
"We need the revelation of the
Spirit."
(Church Age: page 34)
"You can only be saved by
revelation."
(Patmos Vision: page 83)
These
are the words of the immortal Elijah, who said revelation is tremendously
important to the church. Some wants to make it less important when Bro. Branham
said it is tremendously important to the church.
And
a spirit that will walk around and try to kill the effect of the importance of
revelation and power in the church is a deceptive spirit. This looks very much
to me like the white horse rider of Revelation 6:1. It looks like the
Nicolaitans in disguise under the message of Malachi 4:5&6, Revelation 2:1-7.
God
said that he hated the spirit of the Nicolaitans. I say that we also hate the
spirit of the nicolaitans. That spirit is responsible for forming the Roman
Catholic Church, one of the greatest heretical movement in the world.
Revelation
2:6 - "But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans,
which I also hate."
To
uphold such heresy is to kill the effects and importance of Revelation and
undermine the foundation upon which the prophet tried to build the church. To
enter the kingdom of God you must have revelation and power to enter the
kingdom of God.
The
church needs dynamic power to prove that Jesus Christ lives, that he is the
same, yesterday, today and forever in the ministry of William Branham. You
cannot show me anything in that fashion. The church needs much more power than
what she presently has.
Acts
1:8 - "But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon
you and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in
Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
1Corinthians
2:4&5 - "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of
man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power.
That
your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."
"There'll be a power come into the church and is now coming
in..."
(Hear Ye Him: page 7 - 03.16.60)
" You shall receive ( What?) power
(Acts 1:8) after this the Holy Ghost is come upon you. You shall receive
power." (not "you'll be born again.") "You'll receive power
after the Holy Ghost is come upon you. Then you're my witnesses in Jerusalem ,
Judaea and Samaria, unto the utmost parts of the earth." See? You receive
power after you receive the Holy Ghost. But first you must receive the Holy Ghost,
and that is the power of God (See?) to manifest and demonstrate.
You're...you're As you was a human, and learned to talk, and walk and do things
a human does; when you're baptized with the Holy Ghost, you're given power to
act as sons and daughters of God."
(Key To The Door: Jeff. Indiana. 1962.)
"What the church had at Pentecost
is her inalienable right. Originally she had the pure word of God. She had the
power of the spirit manifested in divers signs and wonders and gifts of the
Holy Ghost."
(Church Age Book - page 67)
Can
you show me that anywhere? Can you show me that among the message believers?
"But if the vine ever brings forth
another branch of itself that branch will be exactly like the vine itself. It
will be the same kind of branch that
was brought forth at Pentecost. It will speak in tongues, prophesy and have the
power and signs of the resurrected Jesus Christ in it"
(Church Age Book - page 51)
You can have the genuine Holy Ghost
and be lost and go to hell.
"The cocklebur, we merely think, I
got the baptism, I am going to heaven. That don't mean one thing, you are going
to heaven. No sir. You can have it or have the baptism of the Holy Ghost every
hour of your life and still be lost and go to hell the Bible says so"
(Leadership - 12.07.65, page 24 Covina, Calif.)
Ephesians
1:13&14 - "In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word of
truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also after that ye believed ye
were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. Which is the earnest of our
inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise
of his glory."
Ephesians
4:30 - "And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto
the day of redemption."
The
baptism of the Holy Ghost that the prophet spoke of is typed in Solomon's
Temple. Where there were three courts, the outer, the inner and the most holy
place where God's dwelt. This is typed as the body, the spirit, and the soul.
You can have the baptism of the genuine Holy Spirit on your flesh and on your
spirit from your mother's womb and be lost and go to hell. This is the rain
falling on the unjust but his soul is not touched or changed.
When
you receive the baptism in the third court or in your soul you cannot be lost
because your nature is changed.
"Why would we want to take a
substitute when there's a genuine baptism of the Holy Ghost that satisfies
every fiber and longing in the human soul, can stand right in the face of death
like the great Apostle Paul said, 'O' death where is your sting? And grave
where is your victory? But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus christ. That's the experience, brother, that satisfies that holy
thirst that's in you.
(Thirst, 19.09.65 - para 141)
"I can't take the baptism of the
Holy ghost of crying, shaking or speaking in tongues or any sensation. They're
all right now. See? Them things are alright now. See? Them things are alright
but the devil can impersonate that so real. But the Holy Ghost is Deity - God
tabernacle in man. It's more than a sensation, it's more than speaking tongues,
it's more than shouting in the spirit, it's more than weeping, it's more than
joining church. It's god living in man. Deity God himself tabernacle into that
person till when he can speak it. It's just the same as God speaking. That's
the church of Jesus Christ.
(Testimony of a True Witness, 11.05.61,
Jeff. Ind)
"How do you get in the church?
Joining hands, writing your name on a book? By one Spirit we're all baptized
into one Body; that's the Church. How? Through Holy Ghost baptism we are sealed
in the Body of Christ. How Long? Until the day of your redemption. Ephesians
4:30, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit whereby you are sealed until the day of
your redemption". Sealed away until the day of your redemption. Now,
certainly, certainly, that's the Holy Spirit."
(Questions & Answers - Conduct, Order and Doctrine: page 387.)
"The Holy Ghost is tabernacling
Diety. Your word is His word."
( A True Sign That's Overlooked: page
36-37 .11.12.61)
"It's your duty to repent. It's
your duty to be baptized. Then it's the Guide's duty to take you from there on,
lead you from virtue to knowledge, to temperance, to patience, to godliness,
and to brotherly love, and the Holy Ghost seals you. See? Then you're a full
stature of God, a real man of God, a real woman of God, anchored away in
Christ."
( A Guide: page 20-14.10.62)
When
Brother Branham used that statement on the Holy Ghost he was not referring to
the article of Pentecost (Ephesians 4:30) but the outpouring of the spirit that
people received in 1906 by so-called
Pentecost. Heretics mis-used his words to say no need to go back to the
article of pentecost since you can possess
it and go to hell. Impossible!
Ephesians
4:30 - "And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto
the day of redemption."
"Back To Eden is back to the
beginning, not back to Pentecost"
Jude
1:1-4 - "Jude the servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to
them that are sanctified by God the Father and preserved in Jesus Christ and
called.
Mercy
unto you and peace and love, be multiplied
Beloved
when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation it was
needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that ye should earnestly
contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For
there are certain men crept in unawares who were before of old ordained to this
condemnation ungodly men turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and
denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ."
I
am Phillip Ramkumar, a preacher following Bro. Branham's message for the past
twenty eight years. I am here to expose error on the word and the message of
Malachi 4. I am about to defy article number three which states:- "Back To
Eden is back to the beginning, not back to Pentecost"
Notice
that no foundational scriptures, neither quotations from the Prophet's message were given to support this
doctrine. Why? Because this Doctrine "Back to Eden is back to the
beginning and not back to Pentecost" cannot be supported by scriptures and
the message. This is gross error on the word of God. It is the devil's doctrine
trying to rob the end time bride of her promise. Acts 2.
Hebrew
4:1 " Lets us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering
into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it."
"When it moves into a church, borned
again. It'll come with power and demonstration of its being. God's Word
Comforter in us. We have got to go back to Pentecost, go back to the
Comforter."
(The Comforter-10.1.61)
"That's the reason I do believe that when the Bride is called out
and elected and set in the Book of Life, there'll come a sound from heaven
that'll take such a baptism of the Holy Ghost into the bride that'll take her
from the earth in a rapturing grace. God promised it."
(Three Kinds of Believers: page 15)
Anyone
who disbelieves that we can't go to Pentecost has come short of the promise.
He, through this doctrine, wants to rob us of the promise and take us through
the tribulation. We are defenders of the faith.
Now
there are several beginnings in the scriptures.
Genesis
1:1-" In the beginning God created..."
John
1:1-" In the beginning was the Word ..."
Luke
24:47-49 - And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his
name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem. "
This
is exactly what took place in Acts 2,
when they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. The outpouring of the Holy Ghost
on the day of Pentecost is the beginning of the Church of God. Therefore Back
to the beginning is back to Pentecost, Acts 2, the beginning of the church, and
then back to Eden. Therefore article number three has been found to be a
heretical doctrine of the devil, trying to rob us of our promise when a heretic
excludes a return of pentecost.
Acts
2:39 - "For the promise is unto you, and to your children and to all that
are far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
The
church of Jesus Christ was inaugurated at Pentecost
What!!!
First - Webster says, first means beginning, before the second, the first
church which started at Pentecost was destroyed through the Dark Ages and God
sent Malachi 4, Bro. Branham to restore the church back to the original. She
fell from the beginning - she fell from Pentecost. She must be restored to
the beginning.
"Now the first or original church
was founded and how God manifested himself in her. The word can't change or be
changed because the word is God."
(Church Age Book - page 66)
The
word can't be changed. Therefore to teach that Back to Eden is the beginning
and not back to Pentecost is changing the word of God. It is antichrist
doctrine.
Galatians
1:6-9 - "I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you
into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.
Which
is not another, but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel
of Christ.
But
though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than
that we have preached unto you let him be accursed.
As
we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you
than that you have received let him be accursed.
"Thus, what the church was at
Pentecost is the standard, that is the pattern, there is no other pattern, no
matter what the scholars say. God has not changed that pattern. What God did at
Pentecost he has to keep on doing until the church ages close...
The true church will always try to be
like the original at Pentecost, the true church today will try to approximate
that early first one. You have to work from the original. As like begets like,
the true church will always be the one that tries to follow in the steps of her
founders at Pentecost.
With this key so simple, yet so
wonderful, I was able by the help of the Holy Spirit to read the book of
Revelation and the histories and find therein each age, each messenger, the
duration of each age, and the part each played in the purpose of god - from
Pentecost, the Beginning - to the consummation of those ages."
(Church Age Book - page 67-68)
"The birth of the church was at
Pentecost"
(Church Age Book - page 366)
"This age starts just after the
turn of the 20th century. As it was to be the age in which the true
church would return to being the bride she was
at Pentecost..., "
(Church Age Book - page 377)
"But what about the true seed? It
will happen just as we have said, the people of God are being made ready by the
word of truth from the messenger to this age, in her will be the fullness of
Pentecost for the spirit will bring the people right back to the beginning,
that is THUS SAITH THE LORD."
(Church Age Book - page 379)
"What the church had at Pentecost
is her inalienable right, originally, she had the pure word of God, she had the
power of God the spirit manifested in divers signs and wonders and gifts of the
Holy Ghost." (Church Age Book - page 67)
"But Pentecost, what is it? It's a
restoration of the same kind of a grain
that went into the grounds at the beginning bringing back all the fullness of
the power of Pentecost by the Baptism of the Holy Ghost in the last days. Oh
it's a great thing to believe and to look at it." (What Was the Holy Ghost
Given For - page 12)
I
have proven by the word of God and the Prophet's message, that back to
Pentecost is the beginning, the only way we can get back to Eden is first get
back to Pentecost. If we don't go back to Pentecost then we are heading for the
tribulation, the judgment of God. The Prophet of God said receive the token or
perish. The token is a sign that the blood has been applied and that you would
escape the wrath of God.
God's
got a program and you have to come to the program. There is a program somewhere
on earth today. You must find that program to go back to Pentecost. They have
the cart before the horse. I therefore
declare this article heretical. You need to repent. The church must be restored
to Pentecost before going back to Eden which is dominion over all things.
"The people of God are being made
ready by the Word of Truth from the messenger to this age. In her will be the
fulness of Pentecost for the spirit will bring the people right back to where
they were at the beginning. That is "Thus saith the Lord".
It is "Thus saith the Lord"
for that is what Joel 2:23-26 says, "Be glad then, ye children of Zion,
and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain
moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain
and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat,
and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the
years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworms, and the caterpillar, and the
palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty,
and be satisfied, and praise the Name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt
wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed." Now it says,
God is going to "restore". The Lutheran Age did not restore the
church; it started a reformation. The Weslyan Age did not restore. The
Pentecostal Age did not restore. But God has to restore for He cannot deny His
Word. This is not the resurrection of the Church; it is the "Restoration".
God will take the Church right back to Pentecost of the beginning. Now notice
in verse 25 it tells why we need restoration. The Locust, Cankerworm,
Caterpillar and Palmerworm have eaten all but the root and a small bit of stem.
Now we are told that all these insects
are all one and the same in different stages. That is right. They are the
antichrist spirit manifested in organization, denomination and false doctrine
through the ages. And that poor little root and stalk is going to be restored.
God isn't going to plant a new Church,
but is going to bring His original planting back to original seed."
(Church Age Book - page 379-380)
"Go back to Pentecost before it's
too late."
(Church Age Book - page 89)
"The church should not seek signs
and wonders but divine love. Gifts would fail but not charity."
I
am Samuel Jones, a preacher of righteousness and a firm believer of this end
time message, brought to us by our precious Brother William Branham, God's
servant and prophet, fulfilling Malachi 4:5&6. I stand in defense of this
truth with all that is within me.
I
am here to defy heretical article number four which states:-"The church
should not seek signs and wonders but divine love. Gifts would fail but not
charity."
Quotation
used in support of this heresy is Hebrews Chapter seven, part one,
Jeffersonville, Indiana, 09.22.57 and the scripture used is 1Corinthians 15:8.
What
this article is projecting is that the end time church of Jesus Christ today
should not seek after signs and wonders as there is no need for such. To accept
this article or this doctrine is to disbelieve God's word. It is not of God, it
is deceptive, erroneous and has it's origin in the garden of Eden.
This
doctrine keeps people in bondage and damn their souls. The spirit behind this
article is the same spirit that Jesus warned the Church about in Mark 8:15.
Mark
8:15 - "And he charged them saying, take heed beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod"
Matthew
16:6 - "...Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees"
This
article cannot stand up to the word. It is not supported by Christ Jesus nor
the apostles. It is unscriptural. The church of God is called and commissioned
to do the will of God. His will is her command.
Mark
16:15-17 - "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every
creature, he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved and he that
believeth not is damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe in my
name, they shall cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues, they shall
take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them,
they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall
recover."
The
church was sent with the authority to witness and demonstrate the gospel. The
work that Jesus started he commissioned his disciples with full power to carry
out the same.
Matthew
28: 18&19 - "...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go
ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost..."
John
17:18 - "As thou hast sent me into the world even so have I also sent them
into the world."
The
church of Jesus Christ was commissioned and sent to do the very work that Jesus
did.
John
14:12 - "...I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do
shall ye do also and greater works than these shall ye do because I go unto my
father.'
No
man has any God given right to add or to take away from the original teachings
of Christ or the apostles. Christ, the apostles nor the messenger of the
seventh church age ever taught that the church should not seek signs and
wonders, but contrary to this article all the gospel supports the same.
If
any man love me, he will keep my words (sayings) and my father will love him
and we will come unto him and make our abode with him. As long as believers
stay true to God's word, all the promises belong to them.
1Corinthians
13:8 - "Charity never faileth; but whether there be prophecies, they shall
fail, whether there be tongues, they shall cease, whether there be knowledge,it
shall vanish away.
1Corinthians
14:1 - "Now seek after charity and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that
ye may prophesy"
1Corinthians
12:31 - "Covet earnestly the best gifts."
Paul's
desire that the Corinthian believers come behind in no gift, waiting for the
coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
1Corinthians
1:7 - "So that ye come behind in no gift;waiting for the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ."
That
was the apostle, Paul the first church age messenger, let's hear from the last
and seventh church age messenger, Malachi 4:5&6
"What the church had on Pentecost is her
inalienable rights she had the pure word of God she had the power of the spirit
manifested in divers signs and wonders and gifts of the Holy Ghost"
(Church Age Book - page 67)
The
inalienable right means, that which cannot be given away or taken away - World
Book Dictionary. This right is for every true believer.
"And because the same spirit that
was in Him would be in them, they would do the very same works. Any people that
is truly the body of Jesus Christ (the true church) will manifest the same work
as did Jesus and the Pentecostal church because the same spirit will be in
them, any other church that does not have the spirit and the manifestation is
going to have to account to God.
(Church Age Book - page 250)
"He that believeth Jesus
said......the works that I do shall he do also. Now look. He that believeth on
me, a true believer the works that I do, shall he do also. Notice, in other
words, like this, he that believeth on me shall be identified by my
characteristics, the works, not that's what he did, he said, if I don't do the
father's work then don't believe me and the father spoke to the prophets and
that was their characteristic identifications. So was it with Jesus and
promised it to him that believeth.
My characteristics shall do in him just as
it did in me. But if I do the works and you can't believe that
works......"
(God is Identified by His
Characteristics)
Who
must we believe, article four or God's prophet?
John
10:37 - "If I do not the works of my father then don't believe me."
"I believe that the church of the
living God is moving into a sphere now that is going to shake the whole world,
oh it's going to come to past pretty soon. I am looking for it to happen now.
That the anointing will strike that whole church of the living God and she will
rise to her feet, like a mighty living army, the sick will be healed by the
word, the blind will see the deaf will hear, the dead will be raised and the
power of God will strike the world the church of the living God. We are in the
process of it now."[Speak to this mountain page 59]
When
the prophet spoke about sign seekers he was not speaking about the bride but he
was speaking about those people who was seeking signs and wonders and no word.
"Ask what you will and it will be
done. Anything you desire. Don't you see the words of Jesus Christ being
fulfilled? Oh, it is going to come to pass...that pretty soon that this
anointing will strike the whole church of the living God. She will stand to her
feet like a mighty army. The sick will be healed by a word. The blind will see
and the deaf will hear. The dead will be raised and the power of God will shake
the world with the church of the living God. We are in the process of it
now"
(Visions of William Branham, Jeff. Ind.
09.30.60)
"...but what we need is the power
of the God of Pentecost to produce the life and things that was lived in that
day in the apostolic hour.'
(Second Handed Robe, Jeff Ind. 11.25.56)
"...God wants His church to do the
works he did.....
...the church will have to do the same
thing he did to go in the rapture....
...I hope to live to see that Church when she
raises in the beauty of resurrection power with signs and wonders..
(Hear ye
Him 03.16.60)
I declare
this article to be heretical and of the antichrist. Repent and turn from your
error for the saving of your soul
|
|
It
is Satan's purpose for the church to continue as a powerless church with dead
heretical teachings to the end that he may prevail against the kingdom of God
binding God's people by sin, sickness and demon power. Thus any mouth that
speak such heresies is anointed of Satan and is in his employ. Repent!
Revelation 13:13 is being fulfilled,
false anointed ones, not the pope are bringing down fire from heaven on the
earth today.
Revelation
13:11-14.
"And
I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth, And he had two horns like a
lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
And
he excerciseth all the power of the first beast before him and causeth the
earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed.
And
he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth,
in the sight of men.
And
decieveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he
had power to do in the sight of the beast saying to them that dwell on the
earth , that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword and did live."
I
am Kenneth Bynoe a minister of the gospel, at Bethel Tabernacle, upholding the
message of William Marrion Branham for almost twenty four years. I am examining
Article Number five which says.
Revelation
13:13 is being fulfilled,false anointed ones, not the pope, are bringing down
fire from heaven on the earth today.
My
brethren, I say, this is heresy. The scriptures are being misinterpreted. The
scriptures nor the prophet said that
the pope is going to bring down fire from heaven. It was the United States in
prophesy to do so. She did so when she
dropped those atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during the second
world war in 1945.
Revelation
13 speaks of two beasts, one rising out of the sea and another out of the
earth. A beast represents a power. These beasts are both evil powers. The first
beast rises out of sea, that is out of the multitudes of Roman Catholics upon
the earth. The second beast rises out of the earth. He doeth great wonders so
that he bringeth fire from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
Who
is the He?
He
is the same who helped the woman in Revelation 12:16. The Christian church
being persecuted by Rome during the Dark Ages fled from Europe in the May Flower
in 1620 and landed in a new found land - America which was at that time, barren
and uncivilized, Revelation 12:6.
This
is the same "he" mentioned in
Revelation 13:13 as making fire come
down from heaven. He is America who deceives the world, first by bringing down
fire by the atomic bomb during World War ll at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan
thereby killing over 160,000 people.
The
first beast that rises out of the multitudes of Roman Catholics is Rome,
Revelation 17:15, who gets her power and authority from the red dragon, the
devil. The pope is the person in whom
this power and authority is vested.
The
second or the other beast of Revelation 13:11 had two horns as a lamb and he
spoke as a dragon. Furthermore he excerciseth all the powers of the first beast
before him. This second beast had the power to bring down fire from
heaven, not the first beast.
The
characteristics of this, "He" of Revelation 13:11 shows that he
represents a very powerful nation for he speaks like a dragon. He suggests to
make a body of people like the Roman Catholic church in which all religions
will participate. This body of people, being formed in America is the image
unto the beast, called the World Council of Churches. He has the power to
license who must minister or who must not, to call upon all to affiliate with
the Roman Catholic church or to be killed. He leads the entire world into
worshiping the beast that was before him.
Therefore
"He" in Revelation 13:13, does not refer to any evangelist or the
pope as bringing down fire from heaven.
Quote
Brother Branham:
"Remember, the Bible said that
there was an image made unto the beast. And this United States has always been
number thirteen. It started with thirteen states, thirteen colonies, thirteen
stars, thirteen stripes; number thirteen and always a woman. She appears in the
thirteen chapter of Revelation. At first he was a lamb: meekness, freedom of
speech, freedom of religion, and so forth. And then he received power and spoke
with all the power the dragon had before it."
(Feast of the Trumpet, Jeff. Ind.
64-07M)
"And I beheld another beast coming
out of the earth ....[not out of water , out of the earth].
Then, the thickness and multitudes of
people is water. Then this is where
there was no people, the United States
And he had two horns like a lamb.......
"Two horns like a lamb" not a
lamb. What is it? It is our America buffalo. Sure,. See, there he is "two horns like a lamb. But then what
did he do? He had freedom of religion. First; he acted like a lamb; he spoke
like a lamb. But remember he never did become an old ram
He was a lamb. This country is only a
hundred and fifty years old, you know, just a lamb.
.....and then he spake like a dragon.
And exercise all power the first beast
had before him.....(the red dragon)....and cause all that was on the earth,
that dwelleth upon the earth to worship the beast, whose deadly wound was
healed.
And he doeth great sign and wonders, so
to make him a fire come down from heaven....(The atomic bomb, and hydrogen; smart,
intelligent nation, and so forth, deceiving the nations by these thing.)"
(Mark of the Beast, Jeff. Ind. 54 \0513)
Heretics
are saying, that many brethren are waiting to see Revelation 13:13 fulfilled in
the pope when it is being fulfilled already in the Evangelist Benny Hinn. I
have examined them by the word and have found them to be liars. Whatever signs
and wonders are being done by Hinn are lying signs and wonders.
Let
us read the prophesy,
"And
I beheld another beast". There
was a beast before. The prophet said that beast before was the Roman Catholic
church. He said the Beast in Revelation 13, the Beast that was wounded unto
death but lived again is Pagan Rome who lost her power but she regained it in
Papal Rome. There is another beast who had two horns like a lamb and spoke as a
dragon and he exerciseth all the power of the first beast. Now this beast is
the one that is to call down fire from heaven. They are saying that it is the
Pope who will do it.
Revelation
13:11, is the United States of America, out of which the World Council of
Churches is going to come.
And I beheld another beast coming out of the
earth. This beast came out of the earth. Thickness and multitude of people are
represented by water. Where there had no people is United States. He had two
horns like a lamb. What it is, it's an American buffalo. He had freedom of
religion first, he acted like a lamb, he spoke like a lamb, but remember, he
never did become an old lamb. He was a lamb, this country is only one hundred
and fifty years old. America is not a Ram, it is a lamb, it is a young country.
Although it is powerful, although it is the most powerful nation upon the face
of the earth, America is a lamb.
And
he exerciseth all the powers of the first beast and he spoke like a dragon. He
was anointed by the devil, the dragon. He speaks and exerciseth all the power, not of the Holy Ghost but demon power.
And causeth all that dwell upon the earth
to worship the beast whose deadly wound was healed: And he doeth great
wonders, so that he maketh fire to come down out of heaven. These were the
atomic bombs dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is a highly smart
intelligent nation deceiving nations by this.
So you see my brethren this beast that is
going to call fire from heaven is not the Pope. It is not these false anointed
ones. It is America.
This is the Testimony of an eye
witness of the bombing of Hiroshima -
"Suddenly a glaring whiteish pinkish light appeared in the sky, accompanied
by an unnatural tremor which was followed immediately by a wave of suffocating
heat and a wind which swept away
everything in it's path. Within a few seconds, the thousands of people
in the streets and the gardens and in the center of the town were scorched by a
wave of searing heat. Many were killed instantly, others lay right in the
ground screaming in agony, in terrible pains because of the burns they got.
Everything was standing upright in the way of the blast. Walls, houses,
factories and other buildings were annihilated and the debris spun around and
around in a whirlwind and was carried up into the air. Trams were picked up and
tossed aside. Trees went up in flames, the rice plants lost their greenness,
the grains burned in the ground like straw. Nothing remained alive in a world
of beings up to about three miles from the center of the explosion. Lightly
built houses were flattened as though they had been built out of cardboard.
Those who survived by some miracle found themselves surrounded by a ring of
fire."
That
is a horrible description of what took place. It is a miracle that makes fire
come down from heaven. He did it in 1945 when he dropped those bombs, he did it
to assert himself as a world power to gain creditability that he might be able
to influence people that dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast,
the World Council of Churches . Today America is the most powerful nation upon
the face of the earth. She is powerful in weaponry, military strength,
technology and finance.
These
brethren that are propagating heresies. They, and many who follow them, are
deceived. They are anointed of the devil. They can be delivered from their
error if they turn to the truth and repent.
Brethren
there is going to be another fire falling time here upon the earth like when
God sent fire on the day of Pentecost to let the people know that men and women
had been with Jesus. He is going to send another fire from heaven with another
sound of mighty rushing winds so that
the world might know that these
people had been with the Lord
Jesus Christ
Amen.
"Brother Branham opened the vials , the seven trumpets, the trail of
the serpent and the seven thunders."
Genesis
3:1. "Now that serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which
the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden?"
Revelation
20:1. "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
I
am Daniel Seebrat, a preacher of righteousness following the message of
holiness of Malachi 4:5 and 6, for thirty-six years now. I am refuting article
No. 6 which says , "Brother Branham opened the vials , the seven trumpets, the trail of the serpent and the
seven thunders." I am about to defy that claim. I am saying that Brother
Branham never did reveal the vials ,
the seven trumpets, the trail of the serpent nor the seven thunders.
I
will let Malachi 4: 5 and 6 (Brother Branham) speak for himself concerning
these subjects. Those who project such doctrines have no foundational
scriptures and no direct quotations from the prophet's message to support their
claim.
A.
The Vials
Revelation 16:1. "And I heard a great
voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out
the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth."
Did
Brother Branham reveal the Vials? When? Is that so? When? I will let Brother
Branham speak here for himself. It is better for him to speak than I.
Quotations
of Brother Branham to prove that he never revealed the Vials.
"The Vials come under the sounding
of the Trumpet."
(Ashamed of Him-07.11.65)
"Just wait till we get in to open
those plagues and Seals and those Seven Thunders!" (And Knoweth it Not-15.04.65-page 23)
" I was coming back rather here to
try and have about a ten day meeting to speak on the subject of the Seven Last
Vials for in between those vials is the Trumpets. And I was telling you in
the...when I was going to preach on the Seven Trumpets that I would bring them in with the vials and the plagues."
(Doing God A Service Without His Will
,18.07.65-page 2)
" Now in doing this I have to come
down here for the purpose of teaching the last vials,, last 7 vials and the
last 7 trumpets and the last 7 thunders of the book of Revelation. I hope that
soon as I can get a place sufficient for that here or in Louisville, New
Albany, or either put up a tent. So we can just stay as long as the Lord leads
us to do so."
(God of This Evil Age. 01.08.65-page 4)
" And then when we open up those ,
the Lord willing, on those Seven Vials and show those hideous things ...Man
will be so insane after a while, till they'll imagine they're seeing ants the
size of a mountain, they'll be tormenting woman, be locust come upon the earth
with long hair to torment women who cut theirs off, hair like women hanging
down, and long teeth like a lion, stingers in their tail like a scorpion, and
so forth, to torment man upon the earth."
(Christ is Revealed in His Own Word.
22.08.65-page 6)
" And I'm anxiously waiting for the
hour to where we can all congregate in one place and preach on those seven
plagues, the Seven Vials and the Trumpets and so forth, they all happen right
in a cluster."
(Thinking Man's Filter-22.08.65-page 3)
I
am saying that Brother Branham did not reveal
the Vials. Can anyone show me where he did? No! The Vials and the
plagues are manifestations taking place under the ministry of Moses and Elijah-
Revelation:11. Brother Branham had nothing to do with the vials. He never
revealed it. Anyone making the claim that he revealed the vials is making a
false claim. Therefore I declare this to be heretical and of the antichrist.
B.
The Trumpets
As
concerning the preaching of the Trumpets. I will let Brother Branham speak
again on the subject of the Seven trumpets.
" Seven Trumpets is to Israel only.
The gathering of Israel."
(Feast of the Trumpets-19.07.64-page 19)
"The trumpet is to call them back
to the atonement, the atonement they rejected." (Feast of the Trumpets-19.07.64-page 29)
"The trumpet means nothing to us
(gentiles)."
(Feast of the Trumpets-19.07.64-page 34)
"These Seven Trumpets does not
apply to this church and to this age because it is to Israel only..."
(Feast of the Trumpets-19.07.64-page 19)
"The gathering of Israel is the
trumpets. The Trumpets is to gather Israel." (Feast of the Trumpets - 19.07.64 page 19)
"Don't you see why them trumpets
mean nothing ot us. They all sounded under the sixth seal. You see why the Holy
Spirit wouldn't let me speak it.'
(Feast of the Trumpets - 19.07.64 page 34)
"These prophets call the Jews to
their atonement... The trumpets sounded for Israel. The two prophets is ready
to appear. The bride must step out of the way to go up now. So the two
servants... in revelation the two prophets can appear on the scene to sound,
the seventh trumpet to them make known to them the Christ."
(Feast of the Trumpets - 19.07.64 page
40)
"The seven Trumpets sounded under
the sixth seal."
(Recognizing Your Day and it's Message -
26.07.64 page 9)
"The seven Trumpets takes place
right here in Daniel's Seventieth Week."
(Gabriel's Instructions to Daniel - 30.07.61 page 17)
"Now I have been anticipating for
sometime to speak on the subject of the seven Trumpets in the book of
Revelations. And now we are going to review this just a moment to bring out the
real cause of me not speaking at this time, because the Holy Spirit would not
let me speak at this time on these things." (Feast of the Trumpets - 19.07.64, page 5)
"Then when I come here of preaching
the seven Trumpets... I went in the room to try and understand. It was there
that the Holy Spirit opened this, to show me the reason, the reason is not
profitable even for the church at this time cause it has nothing to do with the
church at all."
(Feast of the Trumpets - 19.07.64, page
7)
"Now in doing this I have come down
here for the purpose of teaching the last vials, last seven vials and the last
seven trumpets and the last seven thunders of the book of Revelation. I hope
that soon as I can we'll get a place sufficient for that here or in Louisville,
New Albany, or either put up a tent. So we can just stay as long as the Lord
leads us to do so." (God of this
Evil Age - 01.08.65, page 4)
"And I'm anxiously waiting for the
hour to where we can all congregate in one place and preach on those seven plagues, the seven vials and the Trumpets
and so for they all happen right in a cluster." (Thinking Man's Filter, 22.08.65, Jeffersonville, Ind)
"Just wait till we get in to open
those plagues and seals and those seven thunders." (And knoweth it Not, page 23, 16.08.65)
False
prophets and teachers are saying that William Marrion Branham preached the
trumpets when they themselves are doing so without knowledge and commission
from God. Brother Branham was anxiously waiting to preach on the Trumpets but
he never did. Bro. Branham was the messenger to the Gentile Laodicean Church
not to Israel.
The
Trumpets has nothing to do with the Gentile Church. It has to do with Israel.
It takes place in Jewish time - Daniel's 70th week. Israel has her
own prophets - Moses and Elijah - Rev 11.
Bro.
Branham is not one of the seven trumpeting angels of Revelation 8:2. He could
not open the Seven trumpets. Bro Branham did not preach the Trumpets. They
belong to Moses and Elijah. Rev. 11. The Holy Spirit did not allow him to treat
the Trumpets as a subject matter though it was preached mysteriously under the
sixth seal. The trumpets are connected with the judgments of God on the
Gentiles for rejecting the end time message.
The
seven trumpeting angels belong to Moses and Elijah. Revelation 8:2, Revelation
9, Revelation 15. The seven trumpets conquer the entire world. It is not
something to preach, it is something to manifest, hence the reason William
Branham could not preach it. It was mysteriously preached under the 6th
seal. The 6th seal is manifestations of judgment.
C.
The Trail of the Serpent
Genesis
3:1, Revelation 20:1&2
It
is claimed that Bro. Branham preached the message "The Trail of the
Serpent." Did Bro. Branham preach that message? When?
Anyone
who projects that he preached "The
Trail of the Serpent" has no foundational scripture and no direct
quotations to prove his claim.
Quotations
to prove that Bro. Branham never did preach the Trail of the Serpent.
About
the Serpent Seed:
"And I'm going home...I want about
a six hour message and straighten that all out...so that you will know what
were speaking of...it's thus saith the Lord." (God's Power to Transform, Phoenix, Arizona, 11.09.65)
"I'm going to the tabernacle, it'll
be about four hours long. And my subject is: The Beast at the beginning and the
beast at the end, through the trail of a serpent...I got my Scriptures all
laying out. The beast from the beginning, he was the beast at the Garden of
Eden, he's the beast at the end, and show that he's a religious person and a denomination... and come right through the
trail of it..."
(Trying to do God a Service without it
Being God's will, 11.27.65, Shrevport, page 12-13)
In
1965 he was going to the tabernacle to preach this message.
"Soon I want to preach the message of
the Trail of the Serpent. (The Beast at the Beginning and the Beast at the End)
at the Tabernacle."
(I have heard but Now I see, Shreveport
La. 27.11.65, page 7)
"Wait until you hear the Trail of
the Serpent."
(God's only Provided Way of Worship,
28.11.65, Shreveport La, page 11)
"Home...I'm...go home. I don't
preach this in another man's meeting I'm going to preach on the Trail of the
Serpent and listen to it if you take the tapes."
(Modern Events Made Clear by Prophecy,
06.12.65, San Bernardino, Cal. Page 12)
"If you ever brought one of my
tapes get this, when I get it, when I get home. The Trail of the Serpent
and you'll see where it's at, where
it's end up at going home to speak of the Lord willing. It's about four
hours."
(Leadership, Covina, Cal. 07.12.65, page
31)
I
hope you got the dates. On the 12th December 1965 he preached his
last message "Communion" before he was involved in an accident on the
18th December 1965. The result of this accident was his departure to
be with the Lord.
I
am asking the question -When then did he preach the message, 'The Trail of the
Serpent'? There is no evidence, no proof, nothing to say that Brother Branham
preached the Trail of the serpent. It is explicitly clear from his own words
that Bro. Branham NEVER did preach this message, "The Trail of the
Serpent".
He
had it in mind to preach it but he never got to it.
Anyone
who claims that Bro. Branham revealed the Trail of the Serpent is making a
false claim. Can anyone say when he preached that message-no one. There is no
evidence that he preached the trail of the serpent.
Therefore
it's heretical to assume that he did.
D.
The Seven Thunders
Revelation
8:1 - "And when he hath opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven about the space of half an hour."
It
is claimed that William Branham revealed the seven thunders.
William
Branham is the 7th Angel or the Laodicean Church age messenger, Rev
10:7, Rev 3:14. and I am scripturaly declaring here today that the 7th
seal was not opened by William Branham. I am letting him speak again to prove
that the Seventh Seal was not revealed by him.
"The seventh angel was to open the six seal
mystery."
(Proving his Word, page 56, 16.08.64)
"You think that little noise out there
in Tucson was something when he opened the six seals."
(Future Home, page 27, 08.02.64)
"The seventh seal hasn't opened yet
you know that's his coming.'
(Feast of the Trumpets, page 26,
19.07.64)
"The Lamb took his book when the
seventh seal...was ready for it to be opened...the sixth seal. Remember he hid
the seventh from us. He wouldn't do it."
(Souls in Prison Now, page 33, 11.10.63)
"Remember the seven seals is
finished. And when those seven revealed truths. One of them he wouldn't permit
us to know...The seventh seal he wouldn't permit it." (Souls in Prison - page 23)
I
am saying that William Marrion Branham opened six seals. The seventh was hidden
from him. He did not know it. Listen again to what he said.
"And at Sabino Canyon, He said,
This is the third Pull and there's three things that goes with it and one
unfolded yesterday, the other unfolded today and there's one thing that I
cannot interpret because it is in a unknown language." (Seals, March 1963, page 564, para 20
"He revealed all six seals but it
don't say nothing about the 7th. And the endtime seal when it starts
will be absolutely a total secret according to the Bible. (Seal - March 1963, Page 564, para 4)
"Now, notice. So help me by God I
tell the Truth that these are spiritually discerned to me - discerned by the
Holy Spirit. And by everyone of them, has identified his place in the Bible.
Now, what this great secret is that lays beneath this Seal, I do not know. I
don't know it. I couldn't make it out. I couldn't tell it, just what it said.
But I know that it was them seven thunders uttering themselves right close
together, just banging seven different times, and it unfolded into something
else that I seen. (Seal - March 1963 -
Page 567, para 1)
"...one of the mysteries of that
Seal, the reason it wasn't revealed, it was even thunders that uttered their
voices, and there it is perfectly because nothing knows anything about it; it
wasn't even written".
(Seal - March 1963, Page 568, para 3)
"Now, do you notice on the opening
of this 7th seal, it's also in a
threefold mystery. This one I have... will speak and have spoke, that it
is the mystery of the seven thunders. The seven thunders in heaven will unfold
this mystery. It'll be right at the coming of Christ because Christ said no one
knew when He would return.
Did you notice when the Jews asked Him
that? You know when we compared the Scripture here with Matthew 24 with the six
seals, the seventh seal was left out; because, you see, Christ said only God,
Himself, knew - not even the Angels. No wonder, it wasn't even written. You
see, they hushed - nothing taken place then. Angels don't know it; nobody knows
when he's coming. But there'll be a ...there'll be seven voices of these
thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time. So I believe, to
us who... if we don't know it, and it won't be known till that time, but it
will be revealed in that day, in the hour that it's supposed to be revealed
in. (Seals - March 1963, Page 575-576)
"And now, as certain as I stand in
the platform tonight, I had the revelation that revealed - it's in a threefold
manner. That, I will speak to you by God's help of a fold of it. And then
you...Let's go over there first. Here's the revelation to begin what...I want
to tell you what it is. What happens is that those seven thunders that he heard
thunder and was forbidden to write, that's what the mystery is laying behind
those seven consecutive thunders rolling out.
(Seals - March, 1963, page 557, para 4)
"Just wait till we get in to open
those plaques and seals and those Seven Thunders!" (And Knoweth it Not, 15.04.65, page 23)
The
thunders were NOT revealed by William Branham in 1963. He did not know it. When the seventh seal was opened the
thunders remained hidden.
You
have heard what Bro. Branham had to say concerning these four subjects:
1.
The revealing of the vials
2.
The revealing of the seven trumpets
3.
The revealing of the seven thunders
4.
The revealing of the trail of the serpent
You
have heard him say that he never revealed them. Anyone who claims that Bro.
Branham revealed the Vials, Trumpets, Thunders and the Trail of the Serpent is
a liar and antichrist. You and your doctrine are false. False prophets are
stalking the land.
John
8:44 - You are of your father the devil who abode not in the truth.
You
pervert the word just like the serpent by misinterpreting the prophet.
You
need to repent. You are just like the
serpent in the garden of Eden who went to Eve with the same message and said,
"Did God say?". Today they will say William Branham open the
thunders. Did God say that William Branham opened the seven trumpets or the
thunders or the vials or the trail of the serpent? No. They are just like the
serpent in Eden. Today serpents behind the pulpits are deceiving God's people
throughout the world with heretical antichrist doctrines. They need to be
exposed.
I
am hereby exposing these false prophets and teachers. Wherever they are, they
are misleading God's people. They will take them through the tribulation. You
need to repent of your wickedness and false doctrines which will damn the souls
of honest God fearing people. God's people need deliverance from bondage and
only by your exposure will they realize their error and be delivered by the
truth.
John
8:32 - "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you
free." Amen!
'All visions of Brother Branham were
fulfilled.'
11
Timothy 2:15-17 "Study to show
thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the Word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will
increase unto more ungodliness, And their word will eat as doth a canker: of
whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus."
I
am Frank Deo- a preacher of righteousness, standing in the defense of the Word
of God and the Message of Malachi 4:5 and 6, for the past twenty years. I
believe that Brother Branham was the last and Seventh Church Age messenger,
that was sent to the world. I believe and contend for his message one hundred
percent.
I
will be speaking on Heretical Article No. 7 which says 'All visions of Brother
Branham were fulfilled.'
I
have heard a lot about heresies. People
think that I am a bit too hard on heretics but Scripture permits it. 1
Timothy 4:1 , 11 Peter 2:1 and 1 Corinthians 11:18 to 19 speak of heresies in
the early Church. One error added to the Message throws it out of place and
makes it false. Errors injected into the message mean lost of souls. Genesis 3.
Heretical
Article No.7 says that all visions are fulfilled. The prophet did say
"Thus saith the Lord, all visions that God showed me are fulfilled. If people can't love
others with the mighty revelation will they do it if they get a tent?"
I
do hope that you see where this doctrine is coming from. I am not against any
church or individual but against false doctrine. I am battling in love hoping
that heretic or heretics will come to realize their falsehood and repent.
There
were false prophets with false doctrines in the Church that overthrew the faith
of many. One example then was that the resurrection was already past. 2Timothy
2:18 - "Who concerning the truth have erred saying that the resurrection
is past already and overthrow the faith of some."
What
I am dealing with is that all the visions of William Marrion Branham are
fulfilled. My question is, is this so? When? The first heretic we had in the
beginning was the Serpent. He injected error in the Word of God and caused the death of His children. A heretic has an
anti-christ spirit. Many people are deceived following anti-christ spirits
but:-"If they get a true revelation
of the two spirits within the framework of the Christian church, and by God's
spirit, discern and withstand the antichrist spirit, satan will be powerless
before her. He would be definitely
thwarted today as when Christ withstood his early effort to gain power
over him in the desert." (Church Age Page 15-16.)
Brother
Branham had many visions about world events, peoples' personal lives and about the Ministry of Christ. Many visions
are fulfilled already and there are many visions yet unfulfilled. Let us look at examples of unfulfilled visions:
"I said, " Then I looked
again, and I saw the United States just blow to pieces. There wasn't nothing
left on it. And I predicted then. " Now this, that was THUS SAITH THE
LORD. And think! Of five of those seven predictions, has already happened. The
church to take a hold, the catholic church. And the coming of the end time. And
I said, " I seen, looked like just stumps a-burning; rocks, blowed out;
and the whole United States just looked bare, laying like that, as far as I
could see where I was standing." (Thyatirean Church Age: Pages 324-326)
Was
that fulfilled ? How many can say that vision is not yet fulfilled? May be we
did not know anything about it. Well I listened to the News up until last night
. There is trouble in the Middle East and the United States is still existing.
The United States is still there. The President -Mr. Bill Clinton is still
trying to negotiate peace with Israel and the Arabs.
Note
what Malachi 4 has to say in preaching-"Handwriting on the Wall:"
"Listen, friend. There isn't a
thing this very hour, in the next twenty five minutes, or ten minutes for
Russia to send up it's satellite and sweep over here across this nation, train
it's missile, say, "Surrender, or in two minutes you'll be nothing but
dust". They can do it right now. Think of it. They can do it right now.
What would happen? Plane load after plane load, ship load after ship load would
swarm our lands, would grab our girls and take them into the street, and treat
them like cattle, ram a sword through them. Go into our homes and take our
wives out. And bust the baby's head against the wall, ravish our women. You say
one thing? It belongs to them"
('Handwriting on The Wall' - 9/3/58. Page 19,)
Are
all visions fulfilled? Los Angeles
hasn't sunk yet. The whole United States is still standing there.
"...Thou city, who claims to be in
the city of the Angels, who has exalted yourself into Heaven and sent all the
dirty, filthy things of fashions and things, till even the foreign countries come
here to pick up our filth and send it away , with your fine churches and
steeples, and so forth the way you do, remember, one day you will be laying in
the bottom of this sea! Your great honeycomb under you right now. The wrath of
God is belching right beneath you.(Choosing A Bride-1965 Footprints, pg 679)
"I remember just my last message in
California, where I thought I'd never go back again, when I predicted Los
Angeles will go beneath the ocean. And, THUS SAITH THE LORD, it will! She's
done; she's washed; she's finished. What Hour? I don't know when. But it will
be sunk right after that the earthquakes begin to jerk and bound"
(The Rapture - 1965, Footprints page
681)
We
are still looking for this event to occur.
"I said, it will come to pass before
the end time. That there will be a great woman stand up in the United States.
Because the United States is marked, woman. Her number 13 and she will rise up
either be President or perhaps a woman being beautiful and attractive will be
the catholic church just cruel at heart and she will lead the nation to
pollution?
(Conference Report - 1960)
These
visions are not yet fulfilled. These are just three major visions which Bro.
Branham had. Another doctrine
says that 'the tent vision' is spiritual and not literal . It is fulfilled
already. The cloud is the tent. I would let the Messenger speak for himself of
whether this tent is literal or spiritual.
"I have never had but one thing that he ever
told me in my life that hasn't happened yet. That some sort of a building or a
tent, where there will be a little building setting. And I have to go into that
and pray for the sick. That hasn't happened yes, as far as I know. That's the
reason that by a vision the Lord has shown me to get this big tent and stay from
4-6 weeks" (Unfailing Word of
Promise - 1964)
"And somehow or another Lord it
maybe that you are driving us to that
tent to make that vision fulfill. So thy will be done"
(Ashamed of Him - 1965 page 18)
"And I just can hardly wait to get
into that tent and it's going to be something wonderful, and I just know he's
just going ot do it just before his coming" (Jehovah Jireh - 1956)
"I am here to get the trustees
together. I am kind of getting put out off all turning me down of places to hold
a meeting. When I'm feeling led to do it
so I think I am going to ask them if we can, if we just can't get out
tent and put it up, and just stay there. And you know get our there in the ball
park, out on the park and move it from place to place just as the Lord will
lead. And I feel that, that's what he's going to do. You know there's a vision
concerning that" (Trying to do God
a Service - 1965)
"I now, I want to find out through
the elders, I feel led, I've never had such a hunger in my heart for God in all
my life, what I have now. I want to get my own tent and my... like the Lord
gave me a vision too. And I believe the time is just now at hand. And I want to
see while I am here. Why? We can't get the tent" (Ashamed of Him - 1965)
In
1965 Brother Branham was hungering for 'a tent', a literal tent to hold
meetings in because he was being turned down. He knew he had a vision
concerning a tent. Did the Prophet say that the Vision is fulfilled? Did he say
it's spiritual? He was looking for it. He badly wanted it. The Prophet called
the Trustees to see whether they can purchase this tent for him. I wonder if it
was not a literal tent then what kind of a tent he was speaking about to
purchase. You cannot purchase a spiritual tent.
Poor
people are being deceived. They sit absorbing these heretical teachings not
knowing better. There is hope of
deliverance, come and accept the Word of God, sound doctrine and repent.
All
visions are not yet fulfilled. If all were fulfilled then what account will be
given for the Vision of the House of Hell, the catching of the Rainbow Trout,
the super Church in prophecy and the car looking like an egg going down the
highway that didn't have a steering wheel.
"....it'll come to pass that science
will be inventing great things,...when they do, they'll make an automobile, and
automobiles will continually shape down, ...they'll become like eggs, look like an egg. For I seen on a highway, a
great master highway a car going down the road that didn't have any steering
wheel in it. It was controlled by power. They got it right now.(The Revelation
of Jesus Christ, Thyatirean Ch Age, page 325)
After
the demise of William Branham there were none and still no records, incidents or any Ministry to claim
the fulfillment of these Visions. They are yet to be fulfilled.
So Mr. Heretic, I have proven to you and to the rest
of the world that all the Visions of William Branham are not yet fulfilled. You
need to repent and turn from your heresy.
"The New Name of Jesus is the
Revealed Word, Jesus by revelation and JVHU."
My
name is Dilraj Ramkumar-I am a minister of the Gospel. I am here to refute
false, damnable and heretical doctrines, propagated by sly cunning and crafty
men, whose mouths must be stopped.
I
am defying Heretical Article No.8 which states-"The New Name of Jesus is
the Revealed Word, Jesus by revelation and JVHU."
If
the New Name of Jesus is the Revealed Word, Jesus by revelation or JVHU then
all Christendom knows that name. Every
Devil in hell knows that name. Every
pope, cardinal, priest and every denominational christian knows that
name. The new name is not The Revealed Word, Jesus by Revelation or JVHU. It is
not.
The scripture infallibly proves that Jesus is
not the new name of the Lord but is the redemptive name of God and his son. The
new name is different from Jesus, the revealed word, JVHU or Sahadeo as
indicated and must be revealed.
This
new name is kept secret from before the foundation of the world. It is not yet
revealed to the church. I quote Malachi 4:
"It will have to be a revelation of the
spirit given so conclusively, but no doubt he will leave that revelation to the
day when he desires to give that name forth." (Church Age -page 318)
"Christ is called the word of God
that's what he is, he's called that now. He's got a name that no man knows but
he is called the word of God."
(Seals-page 159)
Our
Lord Jesus Christ has a new name that is to be revealed in the end time. It is
his conquering name and complete victory is to be won over hell, death and the
grave by that new name. Rev 19:11-21
Rev 3:12- "And I will write upon him the
name of my God and the name of the city of my God... And I will write upon him
my new name"
People
profess to have a Revelation of that new name of Christ, which was kept secret
from the foundation of the world. Can they prove by scripture and the message?
When
was it revealed?
1.
Who revealed it?
2.
What is that name?
3.
What have they produced by it?
4.
What is the evidence that the new name is
revealed?
Amos
3:7
God
reveals his secret unto his servants, the Prophets. There is a chosen man, a
Prophet, for any secret of God to be revealed to the church, at a specific time
and it must be vindicated by God.
"Jesus
by revelation" is contrary to scriptures and in the message of the hour.
Jesus said, "Ye do err not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God".
This theory that the new name is "Jesus by Revelation" is
based upon Acts 3:16, "And his name, through faith in his name hath made this
man strong".
The
redemptive name 'Jesus' was revealed to the early church and the apostles. They
knew that name. Scriptures declare that Jesus had a name, that no man knew but
he himself, millions of christians knew the name of Jesus by revelation and had
God's promises fulfilled in their lives by it.
Rev
19:12 - "And he had a name written that no man knew but he himself". Bro. Branham interpreted (Rev 19:12) and said Jesus
was the redemptive name of the Lord. The new name he received as a conqueror,
no man knows it.
"And Jesus his name on earth was redeemer-Jesus when he
was on earth he was redeemer, that's true. But when he conquered death and hell
and overcome them and ascended on high, he received a new name, that's the
reason they holler the way they do and don't get nothing. It will be a revealed
in the thunders. There got to be something to change this church. You know that
there has go to be something! Notice, no man knew but himself, Now notice no
man knew but himself. (Rev 19.)"
(Seals, page 158)
What
is the church supposed to produce by the new name of the Lord? Power over sin,
sickness, demon power, hell, death and the grave. Jesus came in his father's
name, he took on that name as the son 'Jesus' as the redemptive name of God to
die on Calvary to save mankind. The Name Jesus was a new name. JVHU was the old
name. By the power of that new name, God demonstrated his power while the
Pharisees hollered in the name of JVHU and got nothing.
By
the new name, 'Jesus', at that time, the sick was healed, lepers were cleansed,
demons were caste out, the dead were raised, bread were multiplied, storms were
calmed and Jesus conquered hell, death and the grave, arouse from the dead and
was raptured off the face of the earth. He left behind four gospels, books of
recorded supernatural works as a witness. The apostolic church by the new name
Jesus done the mighty acts of the Holy Spirit. The new name empowered the
church then.
Bro.
Branham, the last church age messenger, with the same article of Pentecost and
the name of Jesus Christ, shook the world seven times with signs, wonders and
miracles. What the church is supposed to produce, by the name of Jesus was
demonstrated for decades by that mighty
man of God. Yet in all his works, never became self exalted and blasphemously
claimed that Jesus is the new name of the Lord.
There
are three separate names, distinctive from each other, that is to be written
upon the overcomers.
1.
The name of God, which is Jesus
2.
Name of the city of God
3.
The name of the Lord
" When Jesus overcame, His name was
changed. And he would reveal that Name, He that would be with him, overcome as
he has, he received a New Name; And I'll reveal my New name to him."
(Thyatirean Church Age-page 293.)
"Now, what's the name of God?
Jesus.....In heaven and earth, all is named Jesus...and the name of the city of
my God, which is the new Jerusalem,
which comes down out of heaven from my God.
(Philadelphian Church Age-page 420)
"I'll write upon him the Name of my
God, and the name of the city of my God, which is all the same. Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus...I'll write upon him the name of God.... which is the new Jerusalem,
which cometh down.... or, the city of my God, ....out from my God and I will
write upon him my new name....". (Philadelphian Church Age-page 421)
"And I will write my New name upon
him. My New name. When all becomes new, then He will take upon Him a new Name
and that Name will be the Name of the Bride also. What that name is, none dare
conjecture. It would have to be a revelation of the Spirit given so conclusively
that none would dare deny it. But no doubt He will leave that revelation to the
day when he desires to give that Name forth. Suffice it to know that it will be
more wonderful than we could ever imagine.". (Church Age-page 318)
The
scripture infallibly proves that 'Jesus' is not the new name of the Lord. But
the redemptive name of God and his son, but the new name is different from
Jesus and must be revealed. Some assume that the New Name is 'the revealed
word' quoting Rev:19 contrary to the interpretation that Bro. Branham gave to
that passage of scripture: "Christ
is called the word of God that's what he is, he's called that now. He's got a
name that no man knows but he is called the word of God". (Seals, page
159)
He
is called that, but he has a name. If "Revealed Word" was the new name the Prophet would have
said that. Bro. Branham NEVER said that the New Name is the revealed word. That
New Name of Jesus Christ is NOT yet revealed to the church.
The people who believes that the new name of
Jesus is the revealed word, Jvhu or Jesus by Revelation are in a delusion of
the devil. They are anointed by Satan. They are behind 10 inch thick iron bars.
They have no revelation of that new name. They need to repent of their wicked
lies and heresies that they are believing around the world. They are proud and
unregenerated and have to repent and humble their proud hearts.
Now
if Jesus has a new name, then his wife, his bride will have to take on his name
also. She takes on that name only after marriage, when bride and groom becomes
one.
"I will write upon him my new name.
When all becomes new. Then he will take upon him a new name and that name will
be the name of the bride also. ('Church age page 315)
What
that name is, none dare conjecture. It would have to be a Revelation of the
spirit, so conclusively, that none would dare deny it. But no doubt he will
leave that revelation to the day when he desire to give that name forth.
Suffice
it to know that it will be more wonderful than we could ever imagine. So the
name of the Bride will be the new name of Jesus. And that new name will be
given her by divine revelation. What that new name is, none dare conjecture.
Conjecture
means an opinion not founded on sufficient evidence. (Webster). It is a guess.
So any person saying that he knows the new name - he is guessing.
I
trust that if this exposition falls on elected ears, it will break that yoke of
these damnable heresies and that they will be delivered
"The bride headstone revival is now
on. She ate the whole book of Redemption. She is now prophesying world wide in
simplicity. Those who are not elected are missing it."
Hebrews
2: 1-4
11
Corinthians 10:4
"For
though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of
our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God. To the pulling down of
stronghold, casting down imagination. And every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought, to the
obedience of Christ."
I
am Aldwyn Chandler- a preacher of righteousness. I am in training. I thank God
for his tutorship. I am going to speak on Heretical Article No. 9 which says:-
"The bride headstone revival is now on. She ate the whole book of
Redemption. She is now prophesying world wide in simplicity. Those who are not
elected are missing it."
These
heresies come from one spirit. We have proven them to be unscriptural. They are
very detrimental, and we have weapons here, that God has given us to destroy
them. They are not carnal, but they are mighty through God. God has trained and
specialized me with a high powered rifle, with telescopic lens.
This
is the kind of weapon we have to use now in these kind of battles. The two spirits are so close, you cannot throw a
hand grenade or a dynamite, you have to use your M16. We have been trained for
that. We thank God.
I
have a couple shots here that are deadly. You have to shoot to kill. We are not
wondering who the enemy is. We know the enemy. The enemy is that spirit of
antichrist which has our brethren in bondage. They are being held there with
their hands around their throats. We have to free them from that spirit. But
first we must bind that evil spirit, then are we able to set them free. John
8:44
Our
purpose is not really to be contemptible. Our battle is not carnal, but in
love, with a hope that those who are in bondage and error might be made free.
This spirit is misquoting and misinterpreting the bible and the message to keep
God's people in bondage.
"In these last days, the true bride
church will come to the headstone. And she will be the super church, a super
race as she nears Him."
(Church Age Book page 171)
This
quotation, is being used to say that the bride is now in her headstone revival.
I quote from Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed:
"Therefore it is the word, or
nothing, that's right, he the word, how do
you know it's right? He the word is vindicated, see, he the word is
properly identified, vindicated by his own spirit, being in the church itself.
The person showing forth himself in vindication, is the direct proof to the
entire body. You don't need creeds then, denominations has perished but the
headship itself recognized in the body by personal identification, see.
Identifying himself proves the headship to the body, then we are united under
one vindicated headship, that is Christ. The word of God, not under any church.
Then our headship is a kingdom. The kingdom of God is within you. Jesus, the
kingdom, we are not a denomination, we belong to a kingdom and the kingdom is
the word of God, made spirit and life in our own life. Bringing to pass every
promise in this day and as it did in that day, when the word and God was made
one."
(Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed,
page 69)
We
could see what this headship revival is all about. The headship revival is when
Christ who is the word of God, who is the spirit of God, makes the word of God manifest
itself, inside of you. He called a bride and manifested himself inside that
bride. When that manifestation took place, the bride was in her headship
revival. She was having a headship revival. The prophet of God in this message,
"Christ is the Mystery of God
Revealed", spent time in trying to get it to the church.
It's
something that the church had missed. It's something that the church knew
nothing about. He was bringing this to the church. What was he saying in a
nutshell- I want you to get it. Follow me. I know that you know these things.
Bro. Branham said on Page 15.
God's secret mystery he had before the
world began. Now back in the backparts of God's mind there was something that
he was trying and going to achieve. And he had a motive in doing it in order to
let himself express. First to express himself completely. God in Christ. Second to have the pre-eminence by this in
His church, which is his body, the bride. Till he could have the pre-eminence to
express himself through them. Thirdly to restore the kingdom to it's rightful
position, that fell by sin, by the first Adam, back to where he walked in the
cool of the evening with the people, talked with them, fellowship with them.
There
is a threefold purpose in this mystery.
The
first fold had to do with God expressing himself completely in Christ
The
second fold is where Christ comes in to the bride to manifest himself. This
second fold purpose is a headship
revival of the bride. When the Christ comes into the bride and manifest
himself, then the bride has come unto her headship revival.
A
revival signifies a move of God in power. When the Head, Christ the Head of the
church came in the bride on the day of Pentecost, it was a move of God in power. It was a move in
power to go around the whole world. There is no bride today, going around the
world with any headship revival. Because there is no power in the church as it
was back there. There is no power in the church at this present time to
manifest John 14:12 and Mark 16:16.
When
Bro. Branham came and preached that, he was trying to show the church and bring
her to the headship. Before the church could come to the headship, the headship
had to express itself first. He expressed Himself today in one man, called
William Branham. If anyone had returned to Pentecost, he was the man called
William Branham. He did not just speak but he demonstrated it. He demonstrated
Hebrews 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. He
was the one that God sent to turn the hearts of the children back to the hearts
of the fathers. Malachi 4:6.
The
fathers that we will be turned unto is not
the fathers at Nicea Rome, but is the Pentecostal fathers of Acts 2.
William
Branham was sent by God in a move to bring about a restoration of the church as
it was in Acts 2. In the first coming he expressed the first fold when he came.
He was fully expressed. He went on to express the second phase at
Pentecost when Christ came into them
but before the third phase could have been fulfilled or accomplished, the word
was lost at Nicea Rome and the church fell. It was never restored to the
original.
God
sent William Branham to restore back the church. In order for him to restore
back the church, the same Son of Man ministry had to be manifested back upon
the earth in the end time here. Hence the reason for Luke 17:30, to be
fulfilled. After that revelation breaks the bride catches it and is prepared to
receive an outpouring as they had on the day of Pentecost. As it was in the first coming of the son of
man, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Any
spirit that will come and tell you that you are already in a bride, headship
revival is a lying spirit. The headship revival came with power on the day of
Pentecost. When that headship revival comes here in the end time it will be the
same as Pentecost in Acts 2. God will have someone like Peter saying "This
is That". There will be a people to say "This is That". This is
that which the prophet Malachi 4&5 spoke about.
"In these last days the true bride
church (Christ's seed) will come to the headstone, and she will be the super
church, a super race, as she nears him. They in the bride will be so much like
him that they will even be in his very image. This is in order to be united
with him. They will be one. They will be the very manifestation of the word of
the living God."
(Church Age page 171.)
They
in the bride will be the very manifestation of the word when they come to the
headstone.
"If the vine ever brings forth
another branch of itself that branch will be exactly like the vine itself. It
will be the same kind of a branch that was ever brought forth at Pentecost. It
will speak in tongues, prophesy and have the power and signs of the resurrected
Jesus Christ in it." (Church Age: page 51)
"We have got to have the Gospel
preached in it's fullness with the power of God to vindicate it according to
the promise of the age and prove that it is exactly according to God's word.
Outside of that, you are just a church member.
(Modern Events Made Clear By Prophecy - 1963)
"Now if there is another gospel as
Paul spoke to one of the group, I am surprised that you turn to another gospel,
which there is no other, but a make believe gospel" (The Rising of the Sun - 1965)
This
thing that they are trying around the world and saying that the bride is
in a world revival is a make believe
gospel. It is not another gospel but it is a make believe gospel, which is a
denominational fiction turning from the good news. Because I live, ye live also
and I live in you and I will identify myself in you.
In
the evening time there shall come light again, there will be a resurrection in
the evening time. Zacariah 14. Beloved that is what we have been taught.
"Tell me my brother, my sister, when
was the sons of God ever to be manifested outside of this time now. When was
there ever a time in history where, manifested a time to deliver all nature.
Nature itself is moaning for the time of manifestation. Before atonement was
made, before the Holy Ghost was poured out. Before the Old Testament and on it
couldn't be manifested, it had to wait till this time. Now all things have been
shaping up to a headstone, to a manifestation of the Sons of God, coming into
the mind so perfectly, until their ministry will be so like Christ that it will
join him and his church together."
(Predestinated Mystery of His Will )
Beloved
creation is waiting for this headstone revival. Because this headstone revival
is going to stop creation from groaning. The headstone revival, is a revival of
the manifestation of the sons of God. Sons of God positionally placed in power
and authority, that when they speak the word of God will flash like lightning
and their word will be just as good as God's word.
Power
will be invested in the the Bride by the outpouring of the Latter Rain which is
a return of pentecost. When this is manifested then the Bride will go out in a
revival. The bride will demonstrate creative power by signs and wonders and
miracles. She would be the super church riding the trail, gathering the elected
for the rapture.
"...Not even heaven knows. I don't
know. But I know it's getting awful near for the signs that He said would be
taking place. He said would be even at the door and we're getting them right now.
I know the next thing to happen is
restoration of the gifts to the church. And it's the hardest thing I've had to
do in this pioneering work is to do this, as to see the people that God can NOT
give back the gifts to the church as long as the church is divided. We've got
to get the church together first so the gifts can come.
But if all of the full-gospel people
would come one heart and one accord, there would be a revival that would shake
the whole world and every spiritual
gift would be in the church within an hour's time after it took place.
Signs and wonders, that was done by the
apostles would be a minor thing to what we'd do if we could just get the church
together, It's GOT to happen. It WILL happen. It may be after I 'm
passed off the scene, but, I want to put my word in this that you might
know in this....that you might know that my voice is this. " Oh, Christian
people, bind yourselves together with one heart and one accord for God can not
no more sent the gifts to the church while the church is separated then He can
send the Holy Ghost unless we're in one accord. That's right. For it comes by
the Holy Ghost. Believe it!"
(Angel of God - Phoenix, Arizona - March
4, 1948.)
When the headstone comes, there will be
a church here on earth to receive it. It'll have a ministry just exactly like
his.
(Sign of His Coming. Cleaveland TN -
07.04.62)
Another
point of interest is that Bro.Branham said in the opening of the seals -page
253, the Bride hasn't had a revival yet- "There had been no revivial there"
and in God Called Man, preached in The Branham Tabernacle in October 5th
1958, Bro.Branham said "God cannot send the revival until he has got
men in shape to take it... And before we can have revival, God has to call out
and train men, to carry this message".
When
was anyone trained to carry the message?
Feast
of The Trumpet page 25 - 19/07/64 ,
that the seventh seal hasn't been opened
yet. You know that is coming.
The
Lamb took the book when the seventh seal was ready for it to be opened.
Remember he hid the seventh seal from
us. He wouldn't do it.
When the angels stood day by day telling
it but then he wouldn't do it on that one.
(Souls That Are in Prison 11.10.63 page
33)
According to the prophet of God there was a seal
that was not revealed. If there was a seal that was not revealed the bride
could not eat up the whole book. Six seals is not the whole book. If they want
to tell me that the bride ate up the book I want to ask them, When? When did
the bride eat up the book? How did she get the book to eat it up. According to
the bible, Rev 10 , the voice told John to go and take the book that was in the
angel's hand and eat it up. John went, took the book and he ate it up.
What
I am saying is that she, the bride, could not go into any world wide ministry
prophesying before she eats up the book. She is not prophesying any where in
simplicity. She is not going around the world as it is claimed . People feel
that simplicity means powerlessness. The bride is now in her ministry in
simplicity and that is powerlessness. Nonsense!!!
Simplicity
means humility,before almighty God. God was a humble God in the life of Jesus
Christ. Jesus Christ did many works.
Who
was a humbler person than the man called William Marrion Branham. God did
mighty works with him. He was expressing Christ first, in one man and now
Christ must be expressed in a bride. She will go forth in power and then the
church will return to Eden. But first she must return to Pentecost which is her inalienable right.
This
doctrine is declared to be heretical and of the nicolaitians. You need to
repent.
"The Seven Thunders Preachers and
believers are born again, although some of their doctrines are false and some
fell in adultery."
1Peter
1:23 - "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of the
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever."
My
name is Keith Bachan-I am contending for the faith, doing battle against the
evil forces of Satan in this hour. I am about ot expose Heretical Article No.
10, erroneous doctrine on the New Birth, which says, "the Seven Thunders
Preachers and believers are born again, although some of their doctrines are
false and some fell in adultery."
Let
me read that one more time, that the entire congregation, hear what heretical preachers in the message are
preaching and teaching.
"The
seven thunders preachers and believers are born again, although some of their
doctrines are false and some fell in adultery."
The
interpretation is saying that types a stick falling upon a plant, now remove
the stick and the plant will grow. Brother, we don't believe that!
That's
a love gospel principle. It is
unspiritural for a pastor or minister to make such a statement. If a man has false doctrine, it is a total
impossibility for him to be born again. Total impossibility to be born again
from that love gospel.
"False teachers will bring false births.
True prophets will bring the word, the birth of the word, Christ. False
prophets will bring false birth, the birth of churches, the birth of creed, the
birth of denomination...
False keep enough of the true to make a
form of godliness. And listen, now I'm saying something here, I want you to
listen. Them kind of false conceptions, you know what a false conception is,
lead millions of people to a false birth.". (Ye Must Be Born Again.
December 31, 1961)
I
can testify of that personally, I was one of those preachers who used to preach
that the Seven Virtues are the seven thunders and that the born again
experience is to believe the message of the hour and that William Branham is a
prophet. I preached that for many years. Today I do not believe that conception
anymore. I thought that I was borned again and was understanding the scriptures
and quotations correctly until some one with greater truth and light passed my way.
That
conception is not the Born Again experience. The born again experience isn't
that William Branham is a prophet of God, no, that is not the Born again
experience.
1John
5:1 - "Whosoever believeth that Jesus
is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat
loveth him also that is begotten of him"
Matthew
16:13-16 - ".....Whom do men say that I the Son of Man
am?.................Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God"
The
prophet said: " the Born Again
experience is the Revelation of Jesus Christ personally to you. (Christ The Mystery of God Revealed).
The
Bible and the Quotation agree together.
To
believe that Bro. Branham is a Prophet is not the New Birth.
Brother,
you could not be born again and be preaching false doctrine for years. That
don't match at all. No. Something is wrong, somewhere.
1Peter
1:23 - "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of the
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever"
To
be born again you must first find the incorruptible seed. Therefore the
ministers who are believing that seven virtues are the seven thunders are wrong
and in error. That's a corruptible seed that could never get a man born again.
Before
a man could even think of being born again, he must first find a preacher who
is preaching the incorruptible seed. The Seven thunders are the seven virtues,
is a corruptible seed. It's an unscriptural doctrine. You can't find the
prophet of God saying that anywhere. It's man made interpretation. Other
corruptible seeds and heretical doctrines are the Blood off the Mercy Seat, there's
no more power to come to the
bride and the latter rain has already fallen.
To get behind the pulpit and say never mind
what is said, you are still borned again, you need some spiritual awakening.
Something is radically wrong with preachers of such heretical doctrines. A man
who will preach that the blood is off the mercy seat, the seven thunders are
the seven virtues, the latter rain already fell, a bride revival is going on
without any manifestation, and profess to be
borned again. He is not. He
cannot get you born again.
I
preached those things for years. and I was going around in circles, from one
emotion to another, from one "worked up", burnt out something to
another. I had no divine revelation. After some time the fire dies out and you
need some more emotion to lighten you
again. This is what that kind of false revelation do to a congregation and to a
minister.
We
couldn't live any kind of sanctified holy life. No ! Absolutely not! Sure, I
preached those things for years, going around in circles, thinking that I was
born again- until a preacher of righteousness with the incorruptible seed
passed my way and shew me the way more perfectly. False teachers will bring
false birth. Those kind of false conceptions lead millions of people to a false
birth.
John
3:3-5 Except a man be born again..........
"And if you love the world of the
things of the world, you're still a pig. That's right. It takes the power of
God ot transform your soul"
(Ye Must Be Born Again - page 31)
A problem
in the message today is that too many people think that they are learned. I was in the message since I was a
little boy-fourteen years old and for about sixteen years I continued believing
that the seven thunders are the seven virtues but there came a time I had
a true experience. A true preacher in the message pointed out
to me that such doctrine is
unscriptural and that I am following a
heresy. I was happy then to
dismiss that unscriptural teaching . You who are bound by such an interpretation
can do the same.
Every
congregation will have an experience of being born again by whatever is
preached from the pulpit. Amen. Whatever is preached from the pulpit- is the
seed you will have. You can't go higher than your pastor. Amen. Just as the pastor
is in error, the whole church would be in error.
I
take time off to say that the whole church world who are believing that the
seven thunders are the seven virtues are in error. From New York to Miami, from
Point Fortin to Tobago, from Africa to
Germany. All are in error. Amen. You need to repent. Amen. Let's see the Word.
Amen! The people of God can be set free today by truth. Amen. Praise ye the
Lord. Blessed be your name, Lord.
It
is a total impossibility, to be preaching false doctrine and get born again. I tell you, if a minister or
ministers around the world, reading the prophet's message, could come up with
such kind of interpretation-then many preachers in the message are in a very
bad shape. Amen. Those thunders preachers, because of their false births, they
could not live a sanctified holy life. Sure, they couldn't. Some- were overcome by Sodom and fell in adultery.
1John
3:9 - " Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God".
Brother,
emotionalism crying and shaking is not the born again experience. The new birth
is a revelation of Jesus Christ personally to you.
1John
5:4 - ".For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is
the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."
1John
2:15-17 - "Love not the world,neither the things that are in the world.If
any man love the world the love of the father is not in him.For all that is in
the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
life,is not of the father,but is of the world.And the world passeth away, and
the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
It
is a total impossibility to be born again and commit adultery.
"What the birth is, the new birth.
First, to die , in order to be born again.And if you got the things of the
world in you, you're not born again.And how you going to claim to be born again
and still with the things of the world hanging on you?"
You Must Be Born Again. Page 19.
December 31, 1961.)
My
first pastor fell in adultery and the church split in two. Now heretic preachers here are saying-just take
away the stick and shower them with love and they will grow up in the Stature
of a Perfect Man. I say, NO! The seed
must be right first. You can shower love, if they have a bad or wrong seed,
they cannot be born again.
This
minister lived in adultery and we tried to shower him with love. So in love I
went up to him, to reconcile him and said, " Well Brother, what's really
happened?" I was told that you were caught red handed under a sheet with a
married woman." The man stayed from his gallery, he never came downstairs
to meet me and said," You should first find out, if under the sheet, I had on clothes or I was naked." I
said," I don't care if you had on a three piece suit under the
sheet-you're guilty.!
Brother,
any minister who is found under a sheet with a woman who is not his wife, I don't care if he had on a three piece suit
or not he is guilty. The very thought of you being a man , with somebody's
wife, in bed under a sheet-you should be ashamed.
Matthew
5:28 - "But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
It
is unscriptural for us men to go visit other men's homes when their wives are
alone, far more to get in bed, under a sheet. You see I am proving this
heretical doctrine wrong. I am proving a wrong seed, a corruptible seed.
When
I told him," Brother you will have to step down from the pulpit, you cannot preach in this condition."
He told me, "Is that so? , I am still born again.". He never
gave up his birth. He said," A just man will fall seven times,"- fall
in adultery seven times? He now preaches in a remote town in Northeast
Trinidad. Now that is an excuse that these adulterers make. Look he is saying
that he was born again in denomination. It was a born again experience that
lead him to the message. That is a false interpretation. The birth you received
in there cannot lead you to this message. It cannot give you the correct, true,
incorruptible seed -new birth experience for denomination has a corruptible
seed.
Brothers,
there are Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals who came over with their denominational
births and are assembled under the message. Denominational birth have no
keeping power, hence the reason why they are falling in adultery like that.
"Born Christians grow into the stature
of Christ as they live. They're borned again, and their lives begin to shape
like a baby. It takes form and begins to grow" (Ye Must be Born Again - page 37)
Romans
9:29 - "Except the Lord of Saboth has left us a seed, we had been as
Sodoma and been made like unto Gomorrha."
Truly,
they that are born of God, cannot commit sin.
These men are not qualified as saying that they are born again.
Absolutely not. They don't meet the requirement of the born again experience.
They all have a corruptible seed and a corruptible birth. No amount of love
will help them until that seed is changed.
I
confess, such were some of us. I came out of that corruption, I know the depth
of deception of a false birth.
Now,
here are some more heretical doctrines that the Seven thunders preachers
believe and teach. The seven live
voices are to the seven church age messengers.. Unscriptural of course. The half an hour silence was over in
1985. How they calculated the mathematics, I don't know. How did they come up
with that answer, that the half an hour silence is over. I heard this when I was in a convention in
Miami in 1985 and 1986.
They
were preaching that the half an hour silence was over. All these unscriptural things can never get
people born again. They believed that the sealing revival took place in the
early 80's and Charity - the headstone
is here, riding the trail again.
Nobody
is riding the trail right now. How can you ride a trail powerless and call that
simplicity. No!. When you ride this trail, you ride this trail in power. All
these are doctrines of devils. Those can never get a man born again.
I
attended the conventions of the seven thunder revival as I said in 1985 and
1986 and I was very disappointed to see how worldliness had taken over the New
York Assembly.
1John
5:4 - "For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, even our faith"
Brothers,
we had our faults and mistakes, but when I got up to New York and saw what the women
were wearing and what was taking place in the church I realized that we are way
up. The highest of heels were worn by the pastor's wife and daughters. The
congregation were wearing see through clothing, as tight as can be, women were
shaving their eyebrows, make up was the norm in New York. To begin with, when I
got there a deacon met me by the door, and said, "The pastor says,
You are inquisitive people and like to
talk too much. Please have no comments, don't say anything of what you see
here." That's the instruction from the deacon at the door.
Brother,
it's amazing, you know we had gone from house to house, visiting and some wives
came out in transparent nightgowns and offered us coffee. That's no problem
there at all, that's how they did it up there. No holiness, no shame. I had
never experienced that in Trinidad at any brother's home. Every house had a
television there. After service on a Sunday they watched sports for hours. Any
kind of movie that came up after, they looked at them. That's the norm there,
that's part of their lifestyles.
They
then tell you to mind your business. Brother, how my sisters and brothers are
doing is also my business. Those words are to bind people from not speaking out
but by the grace of God, we are a bunch of ministers here who are speaking out.
Women
must dress modestly, the prophet condemned high heel shoes, cutting of their
hair, shaving the eyebrows, using make up
to look prettier. They have turned the holiness message into a shame and
reproach.
You
don't know if you are in a Pentecostal church or a Baptist church. They are so
worldly. The music is played in rock and roll, calypso, african, and
spanish beats. That's what I found in
New York and that's what I brought back home.+
I
never had a television in my house before, I bought one forthwith after
returning home. It's only when a preacher of righteousness passed my way and
reminded me that the prophet called a television a one eyed monster then I
threw it out of my house. The entire congregation also got rid of their
televisions.
Brothers,
people are underestimating the influence of certain men in the message. When I
came back from New York and Miami, after seeing what went on in the churches up
there, I changed things at home and patterned after the world. How many people
can bear me witness here. We were not that kind of people. We had our faults
and mistakes but our standards were higher that that. There I said, here is a
minister I can trust, sometimes we can trust the devil and don't know it's the
devil.
I
tell you, whenever a man uses his influence because the prophet ordained him,
to lower the holiness message, he is damning thousands of innocent people
around the world. There they video taped the convention with all it's
corruption and sent it to all parts of the world. We at home were on the video lists, we got our copy
within a week. Those doctrines contaminated the souls of men and women
throughout the world. I was very disappointed after seeing the worldliness in
the church in New York. After I came back from the convention I lowered the
standard in the church. I was influenced by what I saw in New York. I was wrong
about that and I repented for my wrong many years now. I was corrected by a
minister who was preaching a holiness message. I thank God for the correction
and now I am back on track.
The
seven thunders men with the false birth produce a false revival. Let me take
time off to show you a false revival. A false revival is a revival with plenty
noise and no power. You can hear women screaming and throwing down themselves
in the ground, rolling and raising their clothing etc. and no power in the
church. Absolutely no power. That is called a revival, a seven thunder revival.
As they lay hands and touch the people, especially the women, they fall to the
ground and say you are sealed or slain
by the Holy ghost. We are in the Bride revival, they claim. Everybody get
caught up in a frenzy, there are much emotionalism and sensations. Many who
were sealed, backslid.
The
prophet spoke about a true revival that would last about six months and the
world would be evangelized. The thunder men emotional fire is burnt out. Go to
their assemblies and all the jumping and running are not there anymore. They
are with the same old story, powerless
as you left them ten years ago. When you speak about the seven thunder revival
that they were having they always say that they went through a stage. It's a
bad stage, they went through.
The
stage we are talking about is a
powerful revival, a true seven thunder revival that the bride, the true bride
is waiting for. It's the latter rain dynamics. It will be a move of God in
power. Restoration of dominion, power, perfect faith, a master of all
circumstances. Whatever we say with that creative power will come to pass. It
is that revival that we are talking about. Not a revival for noise, emotions,
somebody saw his name on the cloud or somebody claim they say the pillar of
fire, when it all boils down, someone still sits in the church as an adulterer,
fornicator, liar, wearing indecent clothing, now that's a false revival. False
prophet brings false birth and give you a false revival.
"We don't have a television. There
won't be one in my home, never. But there you want them that's up to you but God told me not to do it"
(Power of Transformation -31.10.65)
"There we are,... real christian women
bobbing their hair, wearing make up on their faces, dress in them little old
dirty clothes because reprobate people has told them there's no harm in
it....... but anything that does that, that's a child of hell. By their fruits
you shall know them"
(Handwriting on the Wall - 9.3.58)
True
preachers give us true birth and an genuine revival. Watch the black sky roll
back and the sick will be healed by the word, the dead will be raised, broken
limbs will be restored and as omnipotent speaks the miracles will take place.
You haven't seen power yet, since Malachi 4. We are on the verge of the
greatest revival that the world will ever see.
You
and I are counted worthy by the Grace of God to be in that revival.
"The Thunders were revealed by
Brother Branham."
Revelation
8:1
"And
when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the
space of half an hour."
Revelation
10: 1-4
"And
I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a
rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as
pillars of fire.
And
he had in his hand a little book open:and he set his right foot upon the sean
and his left foot upon the earth,
And
cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven
thunders uttered their voices.
And
when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write:and
heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them
not."
I
am Brother Bruce. After hearing these mighty men of God and greatly enjoying them from this morning, it
has fallen my lot this evening to preach on three articles - numbers eleven,
twelve and thirteen which are all heretical articles mainly based on the seven
thunders.
The
name under which these articles were expressed, as a reminder is
"Exposition of Damnable Heresies- Bars of Interpretation".
Article
No.11 states that the Thunders were revealed by Brother Branham. The supportive
scripture that is given is Revelation 10: 1-7. The supportive quotation is
"The Seven Thunders were photographed and appeared on Life Magazine".
They were the Angels in the cloud.
Let
me try to read it over, it is pretty complicated for the simple minds. The
Seven Thunders were revealed by Brother
Branham, Revelation 10:1-7 is fulfilled. The Seven Thunders were photographed
and appeared in Life Magazine - They were the angels in the cloud.
The
thunders themselves were angels. I disagree , We disagree and right away we
identify this as a heretical article from the pit of hell, formulated by Satan
himself. This heresy is saying that the
Seven Thunders were revealed in 1963 by Brother Branham when the Seven
Sealed Book was opened. It's a lie. The prophet of God said contrary to that.
The foundation that this heresy is built upon are the statements made in
various places where Brother Branham said Revelation 10:1-7 is fulfilled. So
the inventor or inventors of this heresy are taking for a proof, statements of
Brother Branham where he said that Revelation 10:1-7 is fulfilled ahead of what
he said everywhere else that it was not revealed.
We
are saying that it was not revealed because Brother Branham said it was not
revealed. We are saying this is a lie according to the message and to what we were taught for all these
years.
We
are a people who simply believe what Brother Branham said, that the Seven
Thunders were not revealed to him. And I would have you reminded as a preacher
of righteousness since 1967 that in 1968 when I first got in contact with the
people (local and abroad) who followed this message, everybody believed what we believe here, that six seals were
opened and the seventh seal was not opened. They all believed that. They were
afraid to use the word Seventh Seal, they were afraid to use the word Seven
Thunders , they were afraid to even guess what the Seven Thunders are.
I
am a witness to the fact that there was one great Bishop in this country that
started to say that the Seven thunders are revealed. Amongst a number of youths
and older people in the message, I walked up to the Bishop and said
"That's a lie!. You are telling a lie. You should read the books and see
that the prophet said that he did not open the seventh seal nor revealed the
Seven Thunders". That Bishop became quiet and after many months he came
back and said that he found where one
of the thunders was revealed and that he was searching for the next
thunder". Years passed and he never found the other thunders.
Such
were the times when these doctrines began coming into the message. I would have
you to know, from the historical background of this message, that all thunders
can only be traced back to 1974. During the days of the prophets and during the
years after he died up to 1974 no one claimed to have known the revelation of
the Seven Thunders nor the Seventh Seal.
For
the congregation here and the little ones in our midst, I don't want you to get
confused when I say Seven Thunders I am talking about the Seventh Seal. The
Seventh Seal and the Seven Thunders are one and the same revelation. You might
hear me saying back and forth Seventh Seal, Seven Thunders. It is one and the
self same revelation.
Later
on in 1974, it went out worldwide, the first man that arose and claimed to have
known anything about the thunders was a man in New York. From here arose a
Thunder Cult. The first Thunder Cult/heresy that arose was that the Seven
Thunders were the Seven Virtues. The Latter Rain has already fallen, and we are
in a revival presently. Out of him
came forth other Thunder messengers. We have one of the the Chief Thunder
messengers here in Trinidad. Two books were written against him which I agree
with and support. They are laying upon the foundation that Revelation 10:1-7 is
fulfilled they are playing with words
where the prophet of God said Revelation 10:1-7 is fulfilled. The thunders were incorporated in those scriptures therefore the thunders are revealed they
claim.
My
Brothers and sisters. They are playing with words and the poor grammar of the
prophet. They are taking advantage of the poor way in which that Brother
Branham said things far as his educational background goes. God purposed that. God could have gotten a
university graduate to preach these things but that was one of the ways to hide
the revelation from the prudent and wise. The prudent and wise are gathered
around the message trying to find out the secrets of God but the simplicity of the prophet baffles
them. Where the prophet of God said that the Seven Seals are opened, they catch
ahold of that and take him literally,
trying to make him say that all seven seals are revealed.
I
am saying that's a lie. The same prophet of God that used the term the Seven
Seals are opened, is the same prophet,
when he caught himself said "I mean six".
I
will refer you to quotations in a
little while where he said the seventh seal was not opened to him. I
emphatically state here that Brother Branham when he said, "when the seven
seals were opened" he was not referring to the seven individual seals but
to the event of the opening of the Book because it was a seven sealed book. It
was not seven individual seals he was referring to but to the event- the event
of the Seven Seals.
This
heresy, under these conditions, make Brother Branham, my brothers and sisters,
a liar. Brother Branham clearly stated that the Seven Thunders were not
revealed. They are saying it is revealed, these intellectual giants around the
message and those heretics are trying to make our prophet a liar. Our prophet
is not a liar. He has spoken the truth. He has spoken just opposite to what
they are saying.
These
quotations will support what I am saying here that Brother Branham in saying
when the Seven seals were opened, never
meant the seven individual seals but he actually meant the event of the opening
of the Seven Sealed Book.
"Remember the Seven Seals is finished and
when those Seven truths, oh one of them he wouldn't permit us to know."
(Souls in Prison-1963)
Do
you see how these intellectuals played with the language of Brother Branham? Do
you see for yourself in the quotations of Brother Branham that he would be
saying that the Seven Seals were all revealed but when he caught himself he
would say six? Do you understand that then he would say one of them is hidden from
us?
These
intellectuals in order to make this heresy deceptible, they are quoting the
event instead of of the words of the prophet where he said that the Seven
Thunders were not revealed.
"The seven seal has perfectly been
revealed." Unquote.
This
is what the intellectual will think. The seven seals has perfectly been
revealed. The intellectual will take that and run and leave the rest. But we
are quoting the rest.
"Waiting now for the seven mysteries right at
the last, at the coming of the Lord and the rapture of the church-it might
happen before morning."
(Warning then Judgment-1963)
The
Seven mysteries are referring to the Seven thunders.
The
book is absolutely a sealed book until the seven seals are broken. Now that's
different from the seven thunders.
Any
heretic that is saying that the opening of the Seven Seals was the revealing of
the Seven Thunders is wrong. Brother Branham said the opening of the Seven
Seals is different from the Seven Thunders.
All the other seals were unfolded but the seventh was not unfolded and
this is as far as we can go right here.
Brothers
and Sisters, these are not my words. These are the words of the prophet. This
is in the Seven Seals book when he preached it as a subject matter and as a
subject matter he said to the people "
I don't know, I could not make it out,but I'll tell you what I seen. I could
not make it out. One revelation that I have is that the seventh seal is the
seven thunders."
He
said "I don't know, if I had known
something, I would tell you. I don't know it."
Well
who is the heretic to come and tell me that the prophet of God knew what the
Seven Thunders were? I believe Malachi 4. We believe the words of William
Branham. All the heresies with all the heretics and all the interpretations
that were formulated in New York, Arizona and around the world are branded as
doctrines of the devil. We believe Malachi 4.
Another
question I would like to ask them is-If the seven Thunders were revealed, why
were they silent in the days of the prophet? Why didn't they come out with
their revelation while the prophet was alive? They had two years to go to him
and tell him that they got the revelation. He would have shut them up. He will
blast them from the pulpit! Yes. Only after he died, after he turned his back
they got bright. In order to get bright, they waited from 1965 to 1974-nine
years before they made up a cult, an ism and a heresy about it.
Why
did they not come out before that time. It was well hid. In 1974 they got a
little leak and they formulated doctrines.
Angels
are the 7 thunders. This is their revelation of the 7 thunders. They have gone
wrong in saying it is revealed when the prophet said it is not revealed. Now
they went a step further to say that the angels are thunders. Such a statement
cannot be found in the message nor in the scriptures. It is a heresy. They went on to say that the 7
thunders were photographed because there were 7 angels that appeared over in
Arizona in 28th February 1963 William Marrion Branham said that those were 7 angels that
came from eternity and took him up from the ground into the air 26 miles high and he was amongst them in a pyramid
of angels. The cloud was photographed and it appeared in Life Magazine.
This
heresy is referring to that cloud there as the 7 thunders photographed. I am
saying it's a heresy. It's a lie of the devil and the word of God does not
support that. NO!.
It
is misplaced. This quotation of the photograph and where Bro. Branham slip in the
word 7 thunders where he was actually speaking about the cloud is found in page 33, "Christ the Mystery of God
Revealed". In order to support their dogmas and heresy they misplaced this
quotation to support that angels are the 7 thunders.
Angels
are not the 7 thunders. It could never be the 7 thunders.
Why are the angels not the 7 thunders.
I
believe every heretic has a chance to repent after I say what I am about to say
here.
I
am saying the 7 angels are not the 7 thunders. Bro Branham himself said that "the only thing I know and I should
reveal to you is that the 7 thunders hold the mystery of the 7th
seal and the 7 thunders hold the coming of the Lord."
Is
that right? Bro Branham said the 7 thunders hold the coming of the Lord.
This
heretic is saying it holds the 7 angels. No!
It is not the angels it holds the coming of the Lord. Therefore you need to repent.
I
am saying that the 7 thunders hold the coming of the Lord. Anytime you make the
thunders angels, you make us worshippers of angels. The Bible speaks against
the voluntary worship of angels. Voluntary worship of angels is idolatry.
Colossians
2:18 - "Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and
worshipping of angels..."
To
devalue the 7 thunders down to angels you are devaluing the greatest mystery
that God ever had in his mind before the foundation of the world. To devalue
the 7 thunders so low is to devalue it very low but I tell you the greatest
thing to happen to mankind is the second coming of the Lord. There, the 7 thunders is the coming of the
Lord just like what Bro. Branham was permitted to reveal to the church of God.
They are not angels.
"The Seven Thunders are angels
which are the Brides' theophanies and were previously their souls. All together
it's rapturing faith.
Isn't
that sick. This doctrine needs to go to the doctor and we are bringing it to
the Great Physician. The seven Thunders are angels-I refute that,which are the
Brides' theophanies-I refute that, and were previously their souls- it is a
dogma and a creed, all together its' rapturing faith.
There
is no scriptural foundation or support for Thunders as being angels. There is
no teaching or quotations to support this dogma. Not one place when Bro Branham
opened the seals did he hinted anywhere where the thunders could be angels.
Under no condition are there any
teaching or quotations of Bro Branham to support this heresy. The teachings of
Bro Branham from Questions and Answers 1961 where he said something like that
are misinterpreted and misplaced. There he was answering a question about
angels of children before the face of the father. They took that from 1961 and
applied that to the 7 thunders.
That
is how they came up with this formulation that the thunders are the angels.
This was never applied to the 7 thunders. Interpreters are misplacing the
message. When you take a quotation from
somewhere else that does not pertain to the subject and you try to bring forth
a revelation from that and to explain something, you make yourself a heretic.
This was never applied to 7 thunders. Not one word that Bro Branham spoke about
7 thunders when he explained in Questions and Answers about your personal
angel. No - it's heresy.
Another
presentation here is that in Revelation Chapter 4 and5 the angels around the throne are
theophanies. They are the brides bodies, they are the 7 thunders. The host of angels and all the angels that worship
him in chapter 4&5 were our theophanies and the angels themselves were the
theophanies. These theophanies and angels were previously souls and when God
said in Job 38. and the sons of God shouted for joy and angels were the same
thing, and theophanies were the same thing. It was the same unit.
I
defy this heresy as of Satan and the
devil. They are misplacing the word of God, misquoting the prophet
and misinterpreting the
scriptures.
"The
angels around the throne are theophanies, bride's bodies and the 7
thunders." It's a lie of the
devil. How they came up with this dogma?
They took Bro Branham's little thought in Q&A on the seals where Bro
Branham said that right in this building here today are angels, voices and
there are radio voices and there are television pictures going around here.
These
interpreters took that and try to make us believe that Bro Branham indicated
that the angels that were in the tabernacle at that time were the theophanies
that came down for the bride. No it's a lie. Bro Branham said that in Questions
and Answers before he preached on the 7th seal. If they were the 7 thunders I
want to think that Bro Branham would have said that they were the 7 thunders.
These
interpreters are lying. They are jumping ahead of the prophet. If they were the
thunders, and if these angels around the throne that came down in the
tabernacle were the theophanies then
you are telling me that Bro Branham missed it. As an interpreter and a heretic
you will have to tell me Bro Branham missed the 7 thunders and that you got it.
No. we have tried you who say that you are an apostle and have found you a
liar.
If
they were the thunders and Bro Branham knowing that angels were in the
tabernacle in another dimension where there are angels activities which were
not only at the seals but were there all the time. In order to make a doctrine
you have misplaced the scripture in Rev 4&5 and are tying up a quotation of
Bro Branham from page 458 onwards in the Seals book to make it mean what it
does not say.
You
are therefore a heretic, your doctrine is
heresy from the pit of hell. We do not accept it. We defy this doctrine by the
word of God. You claim to know the 7th seal when Bro Branham said it
was not opened. You also claim to know the 7 thunders when the great Elijah
said it was not revealed. He said that it was in an unknown language which he
could not interpret. He said, "I
don't know it. It was not revealed to me.". That is sufficient for us.
To
say that the angels around the throne are thunders, theophanies, by linking two
isolated statements of 1961 and 1963 together is heresy. Heretics are not wiser
and more revelated than Elijah the prophet. No! We denounce this heresy with
all heretics. It's satanic, antichrist
and of the devil. We do not accept it. We defy it.
Angels
are not souls neither are they theophanies. Angels are not sons. Angels are not
theophanies. How many believe that?
This
doctrine is saying that the angel are also theophanies. "These angels are
also souls , these angels are sons."
In all your doctrines you have
not presented unto the little bride around the world any scripture nor have you
quoted the message. You are like a robot. You are like Aaron quoting Moses
without revelation. We have a lot of Aaron's around the world that are quoting
our Moses today but they don't have a divine revelation on the word of God.
Soon as Moses turned his back they built a Golden Calf and worshipped it.
The
word of God teaches concerning angels and human beings that they are altogether
different beings: Hebrews 1:1-4 - "God who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son whom he hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.
Who
being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and
upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged
our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. Being made so much better than the angels
said he at any time, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee?
And
again, I will be to him a Father, and
he shall be to me a son?"
Hebrews
1:13&14 - "But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my
right hand, until I make thine enemies they footstool? Are they not all ministering
spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Unto
which of the angels he said, thou art my son? Therefore angels are not souls,
souls are sons. Theophanies are sons. My bible is telling me what is an angel.
Angels are ministering spirits, ministering spirits mean servants. They are ministering to the elect
of God. Oh glory to God!
So
then angels are not souls. Angels are not theophanies. They are not sons, souls
or theophanies. That group of people that Job saw in Job 38 where the bible
said, "where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth and the
sons of God shouted for joy" were not angels. They were theophanies. Angels are created beings. Theophanies are
eternal beings. Yes sir, theophanies evolved out of God but angels are created
by almighty God. Therefore angels,
sons, souls or theophanies are not the 7 thunders.
"Who has the most power before god?
What is an angel? An angel is a servant. That's right? They're His servants.
What are you? His son and daughter. Who has the most power in Heaven, then, a
sinner that's been saved by grace, or an archangel that's standing by His right
side? The sinner, that's been saved by grace, has more authority in Heaven than
the archangel that stood by his side, without sin, cause he's a son. Son has
more authority than a servant, of course"
(Kinsman Redeemer page 24-Oct 2nd
1960)
"You will never be an angel. God
made Angels, but God made man".
(Hebrews Book 1957, chap 5-6, page 175)
Right
here this supports what I have said, theophanies are eternal creatures. Angels
are created beings. Angels are not sons. They are servants of the theophanies.
O glory to God. They are servants of the sons. They are servants of the
theophanies.
So
you are getting your line tangled up here, Mr. Interpreter. Mr. Heretic, you
better straighten out your line. You have misinterpreted the word of God and
the message of the hour. You have an evil spirit in you. It's a spirit of
error. Repent and turn from your wicked ways, humble your proud heart.
"Angels are not theophanies. Watch
that angel now. Watch what he did now we all know beyond any mistake that was
not an angel. It was God himself. It was a theophany. Abraham called him
Elohim.
(Conference with God - 1960)
Bro.
Branham is dividing the theophany from the angel and he said that the one that
came to Abraham was not an angel he was a theophany. Is that right? A theophany
in human flesh, the human flesh ate beef and drank milk Yes! and he went away.
So the theophany took on human flesh
and then after he ate that he disappeared. The theophany which was King
theophany went back where he was before.
"Before the foundation were we
spirits then, No, we were not even nothing then. We were only figurative in his
mind. In the beginning when God made man in his image he made him a
theophany". (Q&A 1959)
Let
me give you something on that brothers and sisters. John 1:1 That was the logos. The theophanies
came into existence the same time Christ came into existence. Yes. And all
things were made by him Christ. Angels
were made after the theophanies evolved from God. An angel and a theophany are
separate beings.
Don't
try to shove that garbage down our throats. We don't want it, we only want what Bro Branham said. We only want what
the Bible said. Keep your thrash away from this church. Keep your thrash away
from the elected of God.
Angels
are not spirits, angels are not souls. NO. You will have to believe in pre
existence of souls. If you say we were souls, angels and spirits before, you
are talking about pre-existence. This message does not teach pre existence of
souls: "I don't believe in that
Mormon doctrine of pre-existence of souls anymore than I believe in reincarnation or transmigration
of souls". (Church age book page 154)
Any
man who say that we were souls before the foundation of the world is a mormon.
You need to go and join the Mormon church. You are a heretic like a mormon,
my prophet never believed in any mormon
doctrine of pre-existence of souls, reincarnation, nor transmigration of souls.
The
soul is being made together as the body is being formed in the mother's womb.
There is a spiritual body being formed to go into that natural body Mal 4
taught.
2Corinthians:
5-"But if this earthly tabernacle be dissolved we have one waiting in the
heavens." That is your theophany that you go to. You are mixing matters Mr. Heretic. These
are three different units entirely.
Thus these heretics are Mormons. Mormons in the message, Hindus in the message,
Buddhist in the message. You need to
repent and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. Man was theophanies before but
not altogether souls, angels and theophanies. Hear this doctrine. See if I'm
making sense.
Angels
are the same as souls, souls are the same as theophanies and that unit makes up
the 7 thunders, that was before the foundation of the world. You are then
telling me that the 7 thunders were before the world began and you are saying
to me that souls are the thunders. Your thunders were before the world began..
My thunders happened right here on earth.
Rev
10:1 "I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven and out of his
mouth came forth 7 thunders.". The
thunders never happened in heaven. It happened right here on earth. Glory to
God. And it is the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. That puts your
doctrine of 7 thunders as angels theophanies and souls to be a lying deceptive
doctrine and damnable heresy which we cannot swallow.
How
many say Amen. Give him a praise
offering for that!
Who
are they to say the 7 thunders are revealed when Bro Branham emphatically
stated on the 7 Seals book when he preached that as a subject he stated in so
many words that it is not revealed. A man will have to be out of his mind,
behind 10" thick bars, insane, bouncing his head against the iron bars
with cancer over his eyes for him to defy the prophet of God in such a rude
manner. We believe Malachi:4. We don't
believe he is a liar. He spoke the truth. These heretics in order to make a way
for their doctrine, go about saying the prophet of God said those things to
throw off people. They were surely thrown off by their heresy .
Who
are you to say that it is revealed and further more to say what it is and to
say it the wrong way also. Who are you
to say the 7 thunders are angels, who
are you to say the thunders are souls,
who are you to say the thunders are theophanies and the people missed that in
the tabernacle and you quote Revelation 4&5 for such a dogma!! No Sir! You
are off the beaten track, humble your proud heart, repent or perish. Yes sir!
These
things all put together , it is said is rapturing faith. When you could see
what happened at the seals that the angels
and the theophanies came down and all these other things happened, it's
rapturing faith.
"How
much more rapturing faith can anybody have." This heresy says that for you
to have the knowledge that your
theophany is near to you is rapturing faith. Is that rapturing faith? Faith
cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God. Rapturing faith or any kind of
faith is going to come by hearing. You got to hear something,
I
wonder how much rapturing faith they have around the world. We have known for a
long time since 1963 when Bro Branham preached "Who is this
Melchisdec" about theophanies. Didn't we? And brothers and sisters that's
a simple revelation. The Bible said that long before in 11 Cor 5 that if this
earthly tabernacle be dissolved we have one already waiting in the heavens
which is eternal. We had known that all the time that we go from this body into
a next body and we are still earth bound. I therefore refute your rapturing
faith. It's of the devil. Yes, it's the interpretation of the devil. It is
death.
Instead
of rapturing faith you are trying to rupture the soul of the bride. Some of
them have rupturing faith instead of rapturing faith. Oh yes. They have
rupturing faith. They rupture the souls of people. Instead of rapturing faith
you have rupturing faith. Oh yes. This revelation is going to rupture you, your
heresy, dogma and creed. Yes sir. There
we are
"The headstone capped the bride
church in 1963, the headstone already came, the headstone capped the bride church
in 1963, it is the seven thunders, she entered into a word revival and
rapturing faith."
Such
a heresy my brothers makes you feel to vomit. There are thousands of people
around the world that are feasting on this kind of a heresy. We hate the deeds
of the nicolaitans. We hate it and God hates it. When you would say that the
headstone came in 1963 you are trying to take away the promises of God from the
elected bride. You are trying to take us through the tribulation, but you are
not able to. In other words my friends
they are saying that the great headstone the world looked for since the day of
Pentecost did come in 1963 when the seals were opened. It's heresy. There is no
scriptural support given for this heretical doctrine. The quotation however that
was given to us to prove that the capstone did come at the opening of the seals
was the pyramid is capped by the seven thunders - (Ref. Sir's is this the time) Bro. Branham did say that the pyramid
is capped by the seven thunders, (Sirs,
is this the time) but that has it's correct understanding. "The pyramid is capped by the seven
thunders" is a big question. Bro. Branham was venturing in there
because he had come to a junction in his ministry and he did not know what was
next. He asked many questions. Is this
that, is that so?. Venturing then he came up with this statement, "The pyramid is capped by the seven
thunders"
This
heresy is saying that the seven thunders, the seven seals message, the word
and the angel are the headstone and it
came in 1963.
Brothers
and sisters, church of God that believe
the promise of God, when a man becomes so unspiritual as to make the headstone,
the word, the message and the make
believe thunders, he is in a real poor situation. After studying Bro. Branham's
message for a man to formulate such a doctrine as to make the message the
headstone itself, something is wrong with him. I am seeing you behind ten inch
thick iron bars. I am seeing cancer over your eyes. You need deliverance. If your name is on the book your
deliverance is coming. You say I can't grasp this preacher. Your saying proves
that you are behind ten inch thick iron bars. I am asking you to snap out of
that. You say, "I can't". You
are behind ten inch thick iron bars if you cannot catch the simplicity of God's
word.
This
article is saying that the message itself is the capstone. I defy this damnable
heresy and will prove by the word and the message that the headstone is the
power of the Holy Spirit like on the day of pentecost, the fullness, the dynamics
which is yet to come to the church. How many believe?
Let
me say that again. We defy this damnable heresy and will prove by the word and the message that
the headstone is the power of the Holy
Spirit like on the day of pentecost,
the fulness, the dynamics which is yet to come to the church.
We
are saying and establishing that the headstone is not the message but the
headstone, my brothers, is the power that comes to the message. The headstone
is Christ. It is the Holy Ghost. It is the dynamics of power that comes into
the message to make it live. That is the headstone.
No
heretic can find me a quotation of Bro. Branham saying that the headstone came
at the opening of the seals. I challenge the world, I challenge every heretic,
I challenge all the theologians in the message, I challenge all the computer
brained men, to show me where Bro. Branham said that the headstone came at the
opening of the seven seals.
If
you cannot show me a quotation where:
a. the headstone came at the opening of the
seals
b. that it was the seven thunders
c. the souls were the thunders
d. the theophanies were the thunders
e. the angels was the thunders
If
you cannot find one, then, turn loose of your heresy.
He
said, "I don't know what the
revelation is, I could not make it out, yes, but I know, I know that it was
them seven thunders, that hold the revelation of the, seven seals". It
was not revealed at the seven seals in 1963.
This
heresy is built upon an isolated quotation that Bro. Branham made in "Sir, Is this The time" that the
seven thunders will cap the pyramid. They are claiming to be more revelated
than the prophet Bro. Branham, because in 1962 he made that statement. In 1963
when he dealt with the thunders, he said, it was not revealed. He concluded,
"it is not revealed". They are saying at that time the pyramid was
capped by the thunders. It was not even revealed the prophet of God said.
You
as a heretic is saying that the pyramid was capped with it. Then your doctrine
comes from hell, the deep abyss. Yes, that is where it came from. Turn loose of
it.
He
never said that the headstone came with the seals, but he looked for it in
desperation until he died. I will present to you the words of Bro. Branham that
you might understand his teachings on the headstone.
"Zerubabel has laid the foundation
and Zerubabel shall bring the headstone with shouting of Grace, Grace unto
it"
"Zerubabel has laid the foundation,
and will bring the headstone, the seventh angel was to restore the faith of the
fathers; In other words, rebuilt the church again under power of the spirit,
not by might, but by my Holy Spirit, God will bring forth the church in the
last days"
(Message of Grace - 1961)
My
prophet is saying, that the headstone is the power of the Holy Ghost that is
coming to the church in the last day.
Do
you believe Malachi 4? I believe him, did he say that it was the message? Did
he say it was the seventh seal?
Did
he say that the headstone was angels?
No, he said that it is the Holy Spirit, that is coming into the church.
"When a man possess this seven virtues then, the capstone comes down
and seals them into the kingdom of God, which is the Holy Spirit"
(Statue of a Perfect Man - 1962)
Capstone
and headstone for the younger believers is the same article. It belongs to the
top and when a man possess these seven virtues then comes the headstone to seal
him.
"When the capstone comes the Holy Spirit
cements it together that's the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That's why it's so
short today"
(Blasphemous Names - 4.11.62)
The
headstone which is the capstone is the Holy Ghost like the day of pentecost.
All
right look up at the pyramid. Do you notice
a headstone at the top? What do you see? Read for me, (congregation
responds, "Holy spirit") What do you see inside the cap?
(congregation responds, "Love"). Love, God is Love, and God is the
Holy Spirit. There we are, did he put message inside of there? (congregation
responds, "No") Did he put angels inside of there? No. The capstone is the Holy Spirit. Yes. It's
charity, it's Love, it's God.
What
happened to these dumb interpreters? Yes, you better get your lines
straightened out. I am saying my
brother, evidently, the capstone is the Holy Ghost like the day of Pentecost.
Yes, I defy the whole world, I defy all the
seven thunders interpreters. I defy all those heretics telling us that the
seven seal is the headstone, that the message is the headstone. It is not. The
Prophet of God said the Holy Ghost is the headstone, and it is coming into a
bride in this last day to give her power. His ministry upon the earth is to
bring back the headstone into the bride. He has gone on but his message will do
it. That's the purpose of the message.
"The pyramid will be capped one of these
days".
(Standing in the Gap - 1963)
The
pyramid will be capped one of these days. Do you see the pyramid there? The
pyramid will be capped one of these days.
"The cap never did come, because it
was a cornerstone in the church. In the full church it was the headstone, so it
never did come it was rejected Christ and it will come". (Standing in the
Gap - 1963)
"The headstone is coming".
(Turn on the Light - 1964)
They
told me that the headstone already came in 1963. In 1964 the Prophet is saying,
the headstone is coming. Just the dates alone expose these heretics.
An
excited Prophet. We can answer back my brothers. If he can hear us where he is
we also believe it with all our hearts. If the Lord gave you a little peep over
the banister to see people contending for the
promise of God may you know that we believe that with all our hearts.
"The headstone is coming, crying
Abba Father, pretty soon, My God! I believe that with all my heart". (Turn
on the Light - 1964)
Do
you believe it with all your heart? Is the prophet on our side? The prophet
preached the same doctrine that we are preaching that the headstone is coming.
"The headstone is yet to
come" (Questions and Answers -
1964)
"We are looking toward heaven for
the coming cap on the pyramid. We are looking forward. We are looking toward
heaven for the coming cap on the pyramid". (Leadership - 1964 )
"In these last days the true bride
church will come to the headstone, she will be a super church a super race as
she nears him. They will be the very manifestation of the word of the living
God". (Church Ages-pg 171)
Do
you see that picture? My brothers and sisters the prophet of God looked forward
for the headstone coming to the bride. And in the prophesy of 1962 when he
preached "Spoken Word is the
Original Seed" . He took his pen, inspired to write, in these last
days the true bride church (well maybe we are true then we are looking for this
promise).
"In these last days the true bride
church, the true bride church will come to the headstone and she will be a
super church, a super race, as she nears him. They will be the very
manifestation of the word of the living God". (Spoken word is the Original
Seed)
Beloved,
that is where the headstone comes. The headstone comes into the bride in the
last day. When the headstone comes it's coming to a people. When the headstone
comes the evidence is that she will be a super church, a super race. That's the
evidence. These people who claim that the headstone came in 1963 are they a
super church? Are they a super race? They are so dogmatic, that they will
answer and say that we are a super race by the thunders and by the word. You
don't lay emphasis on the power or on the word but your dogma and your creed is
what you are talking about.
If
this prophesy is speaking of a super church and a super race? There must be an
example in the bible. The evidence when the headstone comes upon the church is the
super church, like the day of pentecost. Is that right? And brothers and
sisters to make matters very simple. The church foundation was laid at
pentecost.
In
"Message of Grace" the
prophet of God said that the outpouring of the Holy Ghost came as the cornerstone,
but now in the full church of God it is to return as the headstone. Now the
article that came on the day of pentecost was called the cornerstone. Why?
Because that was the foundation of the church. In other words it was the
beginning of the church which is typed as a building.
Therefore
it could not be called headstone there. It was called the cornerstone because
it was the foundation of the building. Seven church ages have past and now
"pentecost" must return to the bride of Jesus Christ. You cannot call
it a cornerstone, now, you got to call it the headstone. It is one and the self
same article of pentecost now returning as the headstone. Yes my brothers,
there must of necessity be a return of dynamic power. The true church, bride,
will return back to pentecost according to the church age book, page 377.
Yes,
we are right in our teaching. We have the support of the prophet, and the
bible. We are not a dead organization, we are a living organism. We are a
people that have a hope. We are a people that preach the promise of God. All
the promises in the book are ours, every chapter and every verse and every
line. We believe the promise of God. To prove this, when the headstone comes to
the bride, the church will put forth another branch. They will write another
book of Acts behind it.
Now
when the headstone returns in the end time, she's a super church, a super race,
doing double the works that was done at pentecost. You got to be a shameless
bunch of heretics that follow Malachi 4 to claim that you are a super church.
You are super adultery, super high hell shoes. That is what you are and claim
to have the great capstone down in you. That is blasphemy.
If
somebody has the capstone inside of him, he will act like Peter, he will act
like John, like the early apostles, he will act like William Branham.
The
headstone according to what was written here will manifest the sons of God. Yes
the headstone is coming to manifest the sons of God. So all heretics are
exposed.
The
headstone is going to bring a Mt. Zion showdown. Yes. These messages may not be
enough to convince you that your heresy is of the devil, and you have a spirit
of error.
There
is something coming down the road one of these days, it will be a Mt. Zion show
down, the fire will fall one more time and God will prove who is bride and who
is not bride. He will prove who is the super church and who is not the super
church.
All
your thus saith the Lord is thus saith
the interpreters.
To
him who wants to present this doctrine to us, may it be known that it was blown
to pieces by the word of God and by the message of the hour, by sons of God and
by preachers of righteousness who love the message and William Branham.
Take
this from a heart of love, respect and understanding even though you feel
disrespected. You have a right to feel disrespected as long as you misinterpret
the word of God. You ought to be exposed.
Our
purpose my beloved is not to be wicked or to manifest hate. Love is corrective,
let it be received in that manner these
words here are to deliver you out of your deception and to pull you out of your heresy. You
may be elected though you might be
preaching heresy, though you might be living heresy and though you might
be in the wrong, be it known that you can be an elected child of God.
This
does not say that you are not elected, this is only saying that you are wrong
and you have a spirit of error and
following heresy.
Election
is left to almighty God who will determine who is elected and who is not
elected. My sheep hear my voice.
If
you are elected you will follow the voice of God. You will believe the message
of the hour. You will follow the correct revelation of the hour. You cannot
stay in your delusion.
You
will hate the deeds of the nicolaitans.
"The bride church has Thus Saith
the Lord as prophesied by Bro. Branham.
Reference: Church Ages, page 172. - The opening of the seven seals was that
fulfillment of thus saith the Lord.
My
name is Brother Bruce-I am a preacher of righteousness. I do not claim to be a
prophet, or an apostle. I do not claim any of
these offices. I have handled the word of God for the past thirty-three
years and had been established in the message of Bro. Branham for the past
thirty two years.
It
has fallen my lot today to speak on heretical article No:14. "The bride
church has Thus Saith the Lord as prophesied by Bro. Branham.
Reference:
Church Ages, page 172. - The opening of
the seven seals was that fulfillment of thus saith the Lord.
I
am here this morning to defy this article of heresy to prove it scripturally
wrong and by the message of Bro. Branham to be heretical teaching. In close
examination of this heresy, I observe that there is no scriptural support.
Every doctrine of the bible must be fully supported by the scripture.
Whosoever
shall add or take away from the word of God shall have their part in the lake
of fire. The next thing that I observe is that no quotation was given, by any
scriptural authority as proof.
We
recognize William Branham as our authority. No scriptural authority was quoted
to prove that the seven seals revelation was the "Thus saith the
Lord" prophesied to the end time bride in the message called "Spoken Word is the Original
Seed"( written in the church ages, page 172.)
However,
we are familiar with the quotation of the prophet of God that teaches that
there is Thus Saith the Lord coming to the bride according to prophesy in the
church age book.
This
heretical doctrine has made the promise of God of, "Thus Saith the
Lord" coming to the bride in the end time, a matter of the message of the
seven seals that was opened up by the Lamb of God through our precious Brother
Branham in 1963.
We
believe that this teaching is wrong. We believe and can sufficiently prove by
the scripture, that prophesy that was made by Br. Branham, on behalf of the end
time bride, was not fulfilled by the messages that were preached in 1963 by the
opening of the seals.
I
quote Mal 4 to disprove this heresy.
"Oh Church, rise and shake
yourself, pinch your conscience, wake
yourself up in this hour, we must be desperate or perish. There is
coming forth something from the Lord, I know it as Thus Saith the Lord.
There is coming forth something and we
better get desperate, it is between life and death, it will pass through us and
we won't see it"
(Desperation - 1st September
1963 - 6 months after the seals were
preached)
Therefore
I am proving, that the opening of the seals was not the "Thus Saith the
Lord" coming to the bride. Although the seals was "Thus Saith the
Lord", that was not the "Thus Saith the Lord" that was
prophesied to come to the end time bride. Yes, and I have a knock out here, if you will try to disbelieve. Thus
Saith the Lord by the opening of the seals was Thus saith the Lord that came to
Bro. Branham, by Bro. Branham and through Bro. Branham.
"Thus
saith the Lord" that was
prophesied to come to the end time bride is something entirely different and
Bro. Branham knew that. Therefore he was looking for that Thus Saith the Lord
even after the opening of the seals, even until his very death.
Thus,
such teaching is contrary to the message; it's an article of heresy and
contrary to the message. Anything that is contrary to the message and the
messenger is heresy. It is of the antichrist. We are told by Bro. Paul, that
though we, or an angel come from heaven and preach any other gospel than which
we have preached, Let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8
We
say openly today that this teaching is contrary to the teaching of William
Branham, and we condemn this article of heresy as of the devil, of satan and of
the antichrist.
Are
these interpreters saying that Bro. Branham missed the "Thus Saith the Lord"
that he prophesied about, and he did not know it was the opening of the seals?
Are they telling us that Bro. Branham missed the understanding that the opening
of the seals was the Thus Saith the Lord prophesied to come to the bride? That Bro. Branham, six months afterwards
could make such a statement in the book called Desperation, that Thus Saith the
Lord is coming. And if you are not desperate you won't see it?
Are
they trying to tell us that Bro. Branham missed that Thus Saith the Lord, and they
saw it? No, it's a total impossibility.
Bro.
Branham knew that the seven seals was not the Thus Saith the Lord prophesied to
come to the bride, therefore he was looking for it even up to the time of his
death. Therefore we go back to the word of prophesy, to find the promise to the
bride of this Thus Saith the Lord, in it's right context and scriptural foundation.
I
quote to you from the Church Age Book,
to defeat this damnable heresy and I trust and hope my brothers and
sisters that you will listen to this with the right spirit and the right
understanding. All that my father has given me will come to me, no man pluck
them out of my hand. If you have the spirit of God in you, it doesn't matter
where you are, you will recognize the truth of the message of the hour and the
scriptures.
I
quote Bro. Branham and I will let you
be the judge to see for yourself, if the Thus Saith the Lord was the opening of
the seals or it was the Thus Saith the Lord, promised to the bride. I state emphatically that the Thus Saith the
Lord which was the opening of the seals was the Thus Saith the Lord, that came
through William Branham. The Thus Saith the Lord that was prophesied to the
bride is coming through the bride in a certain way that was promised to her and
that has not yet been fulfilled.
"Notice the harmony of the father
and the son. Jesus never did anything until it was first showed him by the
father. John 5:19. This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His
Bride. She performs the command of the Lord in his name for she has "Thus
Saith the Lord" then the word is quickened by the spirit and it comes to
pass.
Those in the bride do only his will. No
one can make them do otherwise. They have "Thus Saith the Lord" or
they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them doing the work. (I
emphasize doing the works. Doing the works of thus Saith the Lord, Not the
letter of Thus Saith the Lord but the works) they have Thus Saith the Lord or
they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them doing the works
fulfilling his own word. He did not
complete all his works while in his earthly ministry so now he works in and
through the bride. She knows that, for
it was not time for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But he will
now fulfill through the bride that word, which he left for this specific
time"
(Church Ages Book - page 172)
Notice
that in the projection of this Thus Saith The Lord, of the bride the prophet of
God, first had a foundational scripture. The interpreters of this heretical
article have no scriptures.
The
prophet of God based this prophesy by the Holy Ghost upon the scripture. You
can consult the church age book. I know that I am speaking to great theologians
who have studied the message in and out. If you would bear me witness this prophecy
started off with the super church promised for the end time. It says in these
last days the bride church will come to the headstone, and she will be the
super church. So this Thus Saith the Lord has to do with a super church, that
comes to the headstone.
I
am about to prove by the scripture that Bro.Branham said this "Thus saith
the Lord" will be used to manifest
the works of Jesus Christ and just not referred to the message of the seals
getting down into the bride.
Based
upon the solid foundation of John 5:19 - Our Lord healed a man on
the Sabbath day. The Pharisees were upset and accused him. The answer that the
Lord gave to the religious Pharisees and scribes was that my father works on
the Sabbath therefore I work. In the 19th verse, dealing with the
same subject, with the manifestation of the spirit, and the works of God, Jesus
used this statement. “I do nothing until my father shows me"
John
5:19 actually brings out the fact that Jesus first had to be commanded of the
father through visions, dreams, the spoken word or some other communication
before he did any miracle. He first had to have thus Saith the Lord. Jesus had
to have Thus Saith the Lord, before he did any miracle or sign. This had to do
with the healing of that man.
Bro.
Branham took John 5:19 and he said, now notice the harmony between the bride
and the groom. He said the same way that Jesus had to have thus Saith the Lord
to do the works of God, unless the bride has Thus Saith the Lord she will keep
still.
Therefore
I am proving here that the Thus Saith the Lord from the seal which was the
revelation is not the same Thus Saith the Lord that Bro. Branham was talking
about in the church age book. This thus
Saith the Lord is for the manifestations of works in like manner .As Jesus
waited for Thus Saith the Lord before he worked the works of God. To further
prove my point, out of all the sick and important folks that was waiting at
that certain well for healing , Jesus
had Thus Saith the Lord to heal only one. He went there and healed that one and
sent him away and left all the other sick, laying there because he had no Thus
Saith the Lord for the other people
that were laying around the pool.
I
sincerely believe that this Thus Saith the Lord that Bro. Branham was referring
to, that is to be fulfilled in the bride will complete the ministry of Christ
according to prophesy.
I
believe that this has it's place right in the third pull power that will be
manifested in the bride. She will wait and will have Thus Saith the Lord,
because no one can manifest the third pull until God speaks to him.
The
bride in the end time must come in harmony with God and with Christ in so much
that he will reveal His will to them and then He, and they will manifest the works
in the end time.
The
thus saith the Lord that is projected by this heretical teaching is contrary to
what God promised the church. This is no more than the devil trying to give the
letter of the word to the bride of Christ.
The
letter killeth but the spirit giveth life. It is contrary to the Thus Saith the
Lord that William Branham looked forward too. He died and never saw it.
That
"Thus Saith the Lord" is contrary to the promise that was made to the
bride. The promise of Thus Saith the Lord, that was made to the bride has it's
place in the super church, a church that is going back to pentecost. Our
example of a super church is in the book of Acts.
The
only church that had that Thus Saith
the Lord in her is the church in
Acts, Thus Saith the Lord came by
Jesus. The bride had Thus Saith the Lord, and she manifested it after Jesus
went home.
That Thus Saith the Lord" is a
conglomeration of heretical articles which we expose today as satanic, of the
devil and trying to deceive the bride by it.
You
need to repent. If you are a child of God and your name is on the Lamb's Book
of life, even the inventor of this heresy, after hearing the word of God and
the exposition of this heresy will
repent. If you cannot repent something is wrong with you.
This
Thus Saith the Lord is all summed up in an interpretation of the seven thunders
and of the trumpets which are all heresies. Therefore your Thus Saith the Lord
is of Satan the devil. Your Thus Saith the Lord is not the same Thus Saith the
Lord that is promised to the bride.
There
shall be Thus Saith the Lord to the bride of Jesus Christ. There will be
another sound from heaven that will produce a super church upon earth and she
will have Thus Saith the Lord and manifest the third pull.
How
many believe that? We believe that with all our hearts.
Thus
Saith The Lord, which they claim to have from 1963 to the year 2000 has not
unified the bride for the rapture but it sent the church of God into a worse
condition today than what it was in 1963. Therefore, Thus Saith the Lord is
coming just as it was prophesied by William Branham.
Amen! Amen!
Amen!
2Peter
1:16-21
2Peter
2:1&2
Our purpose now, seeing that we have come
through a very great and wonderful exercise, is to summarize the articles of
heresies that were exposed by the different ministers. We are still on the subject of "Damnable Heresies - Bars of
Interpretation". This is the summary, we will continue to expose damnable
heresies as fast as they arise. As long
as the church continues, heresies will arise until the rapture takes place.
You mean after the great outpouring of
the Holy Ghost there will still be heresies? Yes. You will have heresies. The
servants of God must continue to preach to put all false doctrines down.
We
have proven by the message and the Word of the living God that these are
heretical articles. These heresies surfaced in different forms which for the
past months have been put down by the Word of God and the Message of the Hour.
I
believe that there are no hiding places for the devil. However by these
expositions we do not expect to convert the whole world neither do we expect to
unite the whole body of Christ. Although somebody will sit and hear these words
somewhere. If a man desire to go the wrong way he will find an excuse for himself. One thing we are
confident of, is that the sheep will
hear the Voice in the right time and in the right season. God's children are
yet in bondage, these messages that were preached are not trying to say that we
alone are elected, other people of the world are elected also.
We
are not projecting that others are all seeds of the serpent and their names are
off the Lamb's Book of Life and are lost. All that we are saying, is that the
heresies that where presented to us are wrong and unscriptural. People who
follow them need deliverance. I firmly state that many of God's children are
caught in this net.
That's
the reason we entitled this message, "Exposition of Damnable Heresies -
Bars of Interpretation" knowing that the prophet of God through that dream
in "Works is Faith Expressed"
saw a number of people behind ten inch thick iron bars. Believers were
identified in there. A man called Roy Borders, Brother Branham's campaign
manager, was in that prison house with cancer over his eyes. Until his death
there was no natural cancer over the eyes of Brother Borders, therefore it is
spiritually applied. Organizational brethren were represented in there also. We
truly believe that dream is in the process of fulfillment. Those people were
crying for deliverance.
In summarizing we want it to be fully understood that
we believe that in every assembly and organization there are elected children
of God under these heresies, the dream said that the time of deliverance came
and when it came Brother Branham cried out, "Brother Borders, Brother
Borders, where are you!" Brother
Borders could not be found anywhere of course he was dead and would not see
this time of deliverance. We believe that is in the process of fulfillment and
deliverance will come to God's people before the rapture takes place by another
out pouring of the Holy Ghost.
There will be no rapture until every believer see eye
to eye and walk shoulder to shoulder, believing the same doctrine and contends
for the same faith. Believers are scattered in every organization and every
assembly and we are part of those people who are not caught up in any kind of
heresy.
Let me edify you by saying that all heresies are built
upon a certain foundation. You always search for that foundation then stop and
think, don't argue and shout, get angry and oppose. Give your ears to listen to
what is being said and catch the spirit. Heresies have a seed, you got to trace
it back to be able to refute and expose them to deliver God's people who are
caught.
Our hope is that eyes become open whether it's
heretical preachers or lay members, the love of God constrained us to correct
these errors for love is corrective.
All heresies start from a certain conception and when
you destroy the foundation then you have power over it. For example Hinduism,
Islam and all Organizations started in the mind of one man, their founder. He
held a certain conception, then built upon it, that one conception grew until
it produced fruits which differ from one another.
Brother Branham said that if you have a gun and the
aim of that gun is just a little fraction off and you shoot at a target fifty
feet away you will miss the target by a few feet. You remember the Nicolaitans
started their false doctrines during the church ages with little sayings that
became doctrines and then flourished into the Roman Catholic Church.
In the garden of Eden it all started with a seed in a woman's
mind. A seed that was against the commandment and the word of God. God told
them not to do and not to interfere with a certain thing. They thought they
were bright enough to do it. When they did that a little seed came into the
woman's mind and she accepted that, then produced a foundation that all
civilizations are built upon. It produced death. Every man outside of our Lord
Jesus Christ came from that foundation having the wrong birth. Having the wrong
birth is death, the wrong foundation doctrinally produces death, spiritual
death. Then it is important to expose all heresies. Heresies started in the
garden of Eden and produced death.
It you want
life you got to find truth and be built upon it. To keep truth pure, holy and
righteous you got to fight against heresy. The Lord warned Adam and Eve against
heresy. Don't you know that? that was a tree of heresy in the garden of Eden.
The bible said it was of good and evil. It was a tree of heresy. That was the
foundation of heresies.
The Bible was written by prophets, therefore it must
be revealed by prophets. Every truth and every secret that came to mankind must
come through a prophet.
Amos 3:7 - "Surely the Lord God will do nothing
but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."
He
reveals his secrets to his servants the prophets. That is how God brings the
truth to mankind. Therefore it is of no private interpretation. (2 Peter 1) .
And anytime you try to interpret the bible by yourself you will end up with
heresies.
All
the bible schools and all organizations and all religions are heretical.
Anything that is off Brother Branham's message is heretical. Any interpretation
on the Seven Thunders is heretical. The whole world itself is a heresy. Tree of
knowledge of good and evil is heresy itself.
These
heresies that were exposed are built upon a misinterpretation of the Seven
Thunders. Pride, disobedience and education that caused these heretics to
misinterpret the Thunders to make a name for themselves though the prophet said
not to make any 'isms' of it.
They
say that the prophet said certain things to throw off the people. No. he did
not. That's a lie of a heretic and of Satan.
He
said, "Don't interpret or make any 'isms' of the seven thunders. You will
wind yourself of the beaten track." They have done exactly what he said
not to do.
The
thunders are the foundation of all these articles of heresies of which I am
familiar with from 1973. The thunders doctrines, which are the foundation of
all these major heresies around the message of Brother Branham, vary in
teachings. Their foundation is that Brother Branham secretly, cunningly, wisely
took the thunders and put it in the message and after nine years they found it.
There are no quotations and no Bible for that. That is contrary to God's word,
it's a lie of the devil.
Such
heresies and teachings are contrary to the Word of God. We stand in defense of
the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Message of the Hour. I quote from the
Prophet of God.
"Now take my advice as your brother.
Don't put you own interpretation to anything. You just go on live a good Christian
life because you will only wind yourself away from the real thing when you do
it. You'll only wind your way again, from the thing. And all of you are
conscious and know that there's something mysterious happening and it is
happening and I know what it is now.
It has been told to you before so just
don't try to put away interpretation but just believe me as your brother. See
we are living in a great hour.
And so, but if the church here are not
supposed to know these thing...so don't put no interpretation to anything see,
you just go ahead and just remember what you're told and live a Christian
life...because if you don't you twist yourself out into something there and
then you are off the beaten track." (Seven Seals Book - Questions &
Answers page 458-459)
Do
not interpret it, do not make any interpretations, take my advice. If you don't
take my advice you will twist yourself off the beaten track. These heresies are
doctrines off the beaten track. The beaten track here will only mean the
straight and narrow way that Christians suppose to walk in since the day of
Pentecost. You will wind yourself off the straight and narrow way if you put
any interpretations to it. All those who believe and preach those heresies have
done the wrong thing. They have misinterpreted the seven thunders and they are
off the beaten track.
"See every time you try to do it,
you've done that. See, so just don't try to make no interpretation. And especially
tonight when that seals becomes up in front of you. See? Just don't try to
interpret it. You just go ahead and just be humble and go right on with the
same plain message.
Now just don't interpret nothing. If God
wants you to know anything he'll send it to you, so just be real solid now.
Hold still. Something has happened. And now just be real...you understand what
I mean."
(Seven Seals Book - Questions &
Answers page 459-460)
Brothers
and sisters does this sound like a throw off? Does it sound like something
everybody should obey? How many say that we should obey? Don't interpret it,
don't put an interpretation or you will wind yourself off the beaten track. If
God wants you to know anything he'll send it to you.
And now if this tape would happen to
fall into the hand of some person somewhere, don't try to make any kind of an
'ism' out of it. The only thing you do, you just continue serving God, because
this great secret is so great that God wouldn't even let John write it. It
thundered out but he....knowing that...promising us that it would be opened but
to this time it isn't opened."(Seven Seals Book - Questions & Answers
page 577)
Isn't
this a solemn warning? This was after he told them about what he had known
about the seven seals and he summarized that the seventh seal is hidden in the
seven thunders and the seven unknown thunders is about the coming of the Lord.
He said that is about how much I could tell you now. He was warning these great
intellectual spiritual giants misinterpreting the thunders.
"I want to tell you it isn't opened. It isn't opened. I don't know it. I
could not make it out. The only thing I know it is hiding in the seven
thunders. The seven thunders came to me in an unknown language. I could not
read it. I could not make it out. (Seven Seals Book - page 577)
All
that follow such heresies are in a delusion of Satan and are behind bars of
interpretations with cancer over their eyes beating their heads against ten
inch thick bars of iron. You cannot tell them that because they cannot grasp
that. The Prophet of God stood right there and told a believer of the message
to snap out of that. He said, "I can't Brother Branham.". The time of deliverance has to come for
people to grasp what is right. He wants to use you for deliverance.
We
do not believe any of their thunders neither do we believe any of their
heresies. They are all a bunch of false prophets, liars and deceivers. God
never spoke to them, he said that if they will know anything God will send it
to them. There will be a certain time for it to be broken to the public. He
gave us a certain season for it to be broken to the public.
Another
important point of interest is the love gospel which is an invention of Satan.
It is the tool that will bring the World Council of Churches and all other
religions together. The love gospel seed is amongst the followers of this
message now. It is based upon a misinterpretation of scriptures. John 17 .
The
tenets of the love gospel include that one should not oppose or criticize
another's doctrine and beliefs. This is a sissified gospel. Only a hypocrite
will adhere to it. They should not also call names but be loving and kind,
embracing each other though wrong in doctrines.
It's
an evil spirit at work. Do you see what that love gospel is? It's the same way
that the pope and the great religions are trying to bring one another in unity.
The
seed of the World Council of Churches is in every man that is propagating that
doctrine. Paul called names, "Hymenaeus and Phlietus, Alexander the
Coppersmith have done me much evil. The Lord reward him according to his
deeds." That is true love.
What
about the others? One time Peter did
something wrong and the brethren were gathered together both Jews and Gentiles
and Paul walked up to him and said you are wrong. He wrote it in another
epistle and told the next church what he did to Peter. He rebuked Peter because
he was in the wrong. Love is corrective.
By
the love gospel they are trying to bring all the people in the message
together. It is love that constrains us to expose these heresies. We love you
hence the reason we expose your heresies. This love gospel made an excuse for
differences of doctrines which is a matter of growth and of measures of
Revelation. The reason for divisions is heresy.
2Corinthians
11 - "I heard that there are divisions amongst you."
And
also there will be heresy. Heresy caused divisions. Heresy entered into Eve and
it caused divisions. It entered the first church and it caused division. Heresy
entered the message and caused divisions. Heresy causes divisions.
After
Satan misinterpreted the thunders he invented a love gospel to hide the
interpretations and the heresies in the message. Everytime a man would chastise
it he reminds him of the love gospel. After these men of God effectively
exposed heresies, heretics will envision them as having no love.
The
love gospel is the evidence that they have the headstone? No, it's a seed of
the World Council of Churches of Satan and of the antichrist. That is not the
love of God. It is compromise. It's a black bird trying to put on a peacock's
feather.
Why
do you think that they say they have divine love? It's because they think they
have the capstone. The capstone is Divine Love, I prove that it is not your
interpretation of the thunders, it is not the seals neither the message. It is
the spirit of God coming again as another outpouring of the Holy Ghost. I
proved from the word of God, the prophet that the capstone has not yet come. It
is yet to come. Then you cannot manifest Divine Love until you possess it. Love
will manifest the power of God. Love will raise the dead. It will heal the
sick, cast out devils, walk upon the water. It raised a man that was dead four days. That's a man with the capstone. He was the capstone himself.
Glory to God!
Jesus
was the capstone himself. The stone which the builder rejected has become the
head of the corner. The capstone came out of the grave and went away in the
rapture. If you are going in the rapture you need the capstone. If you want to
come out of the grave you need the capstone.
'The sound from heaven as a mighty
rushing wind. That will take such a baptism of the Holy Ghost into the bride,
that it will rapture her from the face of the earth." (Three kinds of
Believers.)
You
say you have the capstone and you are living in adultery, fornication, giving
the women indecent clothes to wear, watching television, playing sports? You
are a liar and a bastard born deceiver.
Matthew
23
Acts
7:51-52 - "Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears you do
always resist the Holy Ghost as your father did, so do ye."
Which
of the prophets have not your father persecuted? And they have slain them which
shewed before of the coming the the just one of whom ye have been now the
betrayers and murderers."
And that man spoke of the antichrist. And
John concluded , "if any man bring this doctrine into your house, receive
not into your house neither bid him God's speed. That's love manifest, that's
your love gospel. The love gospel draws a line between true doctrine and false
doctrine. Love gospel separates God's people from heretics, nicolaitans from
the children of God.
William
Branham said all organizations are of the devil.
To
prove he had the Love stone in him, he raised the dead, healed the sick cast
out demons, was taken up in a cloud of glory, went to hell and came back, also
to heaven and came back.
Divine
love is the eleventh commandment. He said, I was passing
through
a savannah and a bull attacked me and divine love projected and stopped that
bull in his track. A maniac came to attack me and divine love stopped him. The bees attacked me and I told them to go
back to their nest.
Eleventh
commandment children, is what the bride is waiting for. The eleventh
commandment is tied up in the capstone, it is tied up in an outpouring of the
Holy ghost. It is tied up in back to Pentecost. After pentecost we are going
back to Eden. It's the love stone, the capstone. We are right in preaching that
there is another outpouring of the Holy Ghost. They are trying to manifest
something that they don't possess. But when we possess it, we are going to
demonstrate it. Amen!!
