The
number of Heresies exposed over the past year, 2001, compiled in Books, One,
Two and Three, under the title of “Exposition of Damnable Heresies”, brings to
light how the false anointed ones in the end time, perverted the Message of
Malachi 4, like the Serpent did in Eden
and the Nicolaitan seducers in Revelation Chapters 2 & 3, and Acts
20:28-30. We conclude that as long as there is a Devil, there will be heresies
and books will be compiled against them. Our compilation of Books can be
consulted to trace the histories of these heresies and exposition of their
errors.
We feel obligated to publish these articles to make
known the works of the Antichrist and
Nicolaitan seducers around the Message of the Hour. Being well
disguised, the Antichrist and the Nicolaitan, even by grievous wolves, entered
the most eminent but efficacious agents, the camouflaged champions of the
Devil, working to take the souls of men to hell and the Lake of Fire.
The aims and objectives of each book are as
follows:-
1.
For
the edification of the Bride worldwide
2.
To
give an answer to those who have projected such heresies
3.
To
equip all those who contend for the promises and faith of God, delivered to us
by Brother William Branham, God's Servant and Prophet.
As the
time draws to the End the subject on heresies is not exhausted and even though
we have already dealt with many
heretical articles, there is still need to add a few pages to what was already
done. Our new addition will be entitled, "Exposition of Damnable Heresies
- Five Major Doctrinal Divisions - Book Four." It will be based upon
irrefutable documents, publications, popular Ministers/Writers, most of whom
are Message Believers.
The testimonies, quotations and proofs used in
defying the heretical articles constitute a crushing indictment which no
Minister, Church or Congregation has tried to disprove. On the contrary
Ministers from around the World have communicated with us, expressing what a blessing
these expositions were to them.
Exposition of Damnable Heresies - Five Major
Doctrinal Divisions - Book Four, is a compilation of heretical articles taken
from magnetic recording that were exposed at various gatherings at Bethel -
Trinidad. During these gatherings of Message Believers from several Churches,
one of our main Minister was Brother Dalton Bruce. He preaches the Revelation
of the Message of William Branham, God's Elijah, fulfilling Malachi 4:5&6,
Revelation 10:7 and Revelation 3:14.

FIVE DOCTRINAL DIVISIONS:
MESSAGE BELIEVERS.
MALACHI 4:5&6
I am going to bring to you a
little peculiar message this morning. But, it is a message that the world
needs. I am going to read here.
Galatians 1:6-12 - "I
marvel that ye 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, that that which we have preached
unto you, let him be accursed...
That word,
"accursed" means "anathema". "Maranatha" means
that you are cursed until the day of the coming of the Lord.
......As we said before, so
say I now again, If any man preach any other Gospel unto you than that ye have
received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek
to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the Servant of Christ.
But I certify you, Brethren, that the Gospel which was preached of me is not
after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by
the revelation of Jesus Christ."
Now I want to speak on a
very vital subject here this morning which will be of tremendous edification to
the entire body of Christ, worldwide. It will be of edification, encouragement
and upliftment to every true Minister of Christ, throughout the world. The
title of this Message is, "Doctrinal Divisions - Message Believers,
Malachi 4:5&6."
We believe in a prophet that
God sent upon the face of the Earth today fulfilling the Scripture of Malachi
4:5&6. He came with a Message to the whole world. This body of people here,
represents that Message, and there are
others around the world that represent that Message of Malachi 4, the promised
Elijah of the hour, William Branham by name.
But something is the matter with the followers of this great Message of
which we are all conscious this morning, and, that is, there are doctrinal
divisions among the people that follow the Message of Malachi 4, Elijah the
Prophet.
The Ministry of Elijah was personified in a man called William Branham. We are
all conscious of this fact. There are thousands of different factions, but, I
want to point out five main doctrinal divisions that are responsible for such
thousands of factions, cults and isms. Many of them are led by false christs
(Matthew 24:24). In all their efforts, to be a united body, they failed, since
it was prophesied by the Messenger, William Branham, that there will not be an
organization come out of the Message.
I quote: "Brother, Sister, in this great fifteen
year revival that I have lived in been privileged to live it with you, there
hasn't been an organization come out of it. There is no more organization.
There won't be. There's the last. There will never be another organization.
(Harvest Time - 1964)
"This has been going on for fifteen years and there has been no
organization. Come from it. Why? The shuck was the last. We are at the
end."
"We have had fifteen years nearly twenty now; Years of the Message
sweeping across from nation to nation and this morning hooked up across this
nation, and no organization, it can't organize! There is nothing ever be like
it or will be after it." ( Birth Pains)
These three quotations, I just quoted are, to verify that this Message will never
produce an organization. When Luther came, and, after he departed, they
produced the Lutheran organization by believers putting themselves together and
compromising on doctrine, they unified themselves into an organization. After
Wesley died, they formed the Methodist Church. They came together in a group,
compromised doctrines, thoughts and ideas and made an organization. In 1906 the Spirit fell in
Azusa Street, and in fifteen days time they made an organization out of that
movement. Then came the great man of God, William Branham, in 1933. In 1946 he
spearheaded a revival that shook the world. That revival lasted for fifteen
years. Not fifteen days but fifteen years and he prophesied (I term this
'prophesy' based on the Word), that there will never be an organization come
out of this Message. From 1946 to 2001 there has not arisen an organization out
of the Message.
Now the divisions in the Message were prophesied to be so. Now, if you would not have
an organization where all the groups come together and compromise on doctrines then
you must have divisions. So, divisions in the Message are scriptural. It is
fulfilling Bible Prophecy. I am not saying it is a right thing. I am saying it
is scriptural and it is fulfilling Bible Prophecy. If they can come together
and bring all their groups together, then an organization will be formed. But
in order for the Lord not to have an organization coming out of the Message,
there are divisions around the world, in the Message. So the clock is ticking
right on time. The words of the Prophet are also true and are also fulfilled in
the doctrinal divisions that are presently around the Message of the Hour. I
will further add that nobody, no matter how bright and how well learnt they are
in the Bible and the Message, is capable to bring all the assemblies of God
together and have one movement. The Prophet of God said, "It won't
happen." It is a total
impossibility, for any man to bring the assemblies that follow this Message
together, to bring them under one head, even because God has a certain plan and
program in which He will have that done.
That will be fulfilled in
His own time, by His grace and by His own program. Think on what I am saying
and you will see how Scriptural that is.
From 1965 when divisions
started in the Message of Malachi 4, all kinds of learned men in the Message
tried to unite the people that followed the Message. All kinds of great
orators, great influential men that walked with the Prophet, hunt with the
Prophet, brought about all kinds of doctrine, tried all kinds of strategies to
unite the followers of Malachi 4 and they were unable even up to today to unite
the followers of Malachi 4. I believe they overlooked this prophecy where,
"An organization cannot come out of
this Message." It was spoken by the Prophet of God , (The Clock Is
Ticking Right On Time), that, these divisions are supposed to be here It was
prophesied to be here and no man is
able to bring the followers of Malachi 4 together.
I would state some of the strategies that were employed to bring the
followers and Ministers of Malachi 4 together. I was partly associated with
one of their programs in the 'earlies', as early as 1968, when false doctrines
started to come into the Message. The Prophet had died about three years and
the first set of doctrines that started to come into this country was that the
Latter Rain fell. Before that time there was one body, one group. Yes,
everybody gathered under one tent. Everybody preached the same thing and
everybody believed that the Seventh Seal was not opened. Everybody dressed
modestly and everybody were gathered together. I want to see those days again,
but those days will never come until God employs his program.
The first thing that started
to unite the believers from scattering and following other doctrines and
teachings was Ministers Meetings - where they came and discussed different
doctrines. I saw that fall through because every time Ministers come together,
they go further apart because they established in the ear of other Ministers
what they believed. After a while I realized that that will never work and I
separated myself from such Ministers' meetings, because, I read in the Church
Age Book where Brother Branham said, "It
is Balaamism." From that time on, I branded it as Balaamism and the
Prophet of God said that a desire for fellowship leads to organization.(Church
Age Book, Page 111).
Computerizing the Message
And then a little time
passed and they thought that they would bring the people of God together if
they Computerize the Message - So they did computerized the Message, you know,
they sent computers and books out. There were certain men that arose and made
wonderful Quotation Books. A man called Robert Moore took five hundred and
seventy Messages and made a great Quotation Book, then, he fell and denied the
Message.
Later on you had great men
that arose who everybody looked up to, that, they might bring the Bride
together. There arose a man called from India. He claimed to have been
operating the Third Pull. There were thousands of people who followed him from
USA, into India and to Israel, where the Rapture was supposed to take place, as
he claimed. We are still here on earth.
After computerizing the
Message they started Conventions. Yes. That did not work. Now they tried
another strategy and that was the Love Gospel. Its principles are:-
a. Don't preach against any other preacher
b. Don't say that he is false
c. Don't say that he is preaching wrong Doctrines.
d. Stifle your conscience.
So, it was the Love Gospel,
and to bring the people together, they compromised the Holiness Message of the
Prophet of God and allowed certain music, certain dressings, certain behaviors
of women to come. Certain women started writing on magazines, certain of them
started doing things that they ought not to do. They started to compromise the
Holiness Message. Some of them went back on the sports field, thinking that
they can bring the Bride together if they have camp meetings and different sports
involvement. It never worked, no, it never worked.
My Brothers and Sisters,
even because of this prophecy, that
there would not be an organization come out of this Message. Now, if there
won't be an organization come out of the Message then the followers of Malachi
4 will never come and be one body, one group, never, motivated by one man. No sir!. It would not be. It just would not
be. They will remain that way divided into different factions, thousands of
factions, cults and isms. They will remain divided until the Lord by His
program comes and draw the Elect out of every group. There will be a united
body and only that body that is drawn out of the mixed multitude will go in the
Rapture. There will be a Ministry that goes out to the public, yes, and draw
the Elect together, the Bride of Christ together. This will happen in God's
time. It will happen just before the Rapture. I believe this with all my heart,
and, I believe a fool shall not err therein. If there is not to be an
organization come out of this Message, it is a total impossibility for any
human being, any preacher, any great intellectual to bring the followers of the
Message together under one head. It won't be, but I know, somebody can bring it
together, the Bride of Christ that was called out of organization. Christ is the head of the body, and He is
going into public and He is going to be the headship of the Bride of Christ.
How many believe? (Congregation says Amen)
All right, let me make a
statement here which I will clarify a little later. Out of the thousands of
different divisions and factions I would say, thousands of different
interpretations and ideologies, isms and whatever more, in my experience and
knowledge of the Message for the past thirty four years, I have traced out this
very carefully, after hearing different doctrines, isms, false teachings,
interpretations, meeting false prophets, great intellectual men, and to the
best of my knowledge, speaking now for the whole Message World, that there are five main doctrinal divisions in
the Message. I want to point out to you this morning, those five doctrinal
divisions. It is going to be of edification to the Message people and to every
true Minister of the Message worldwide. Probably they never grouped it in this
way, If people will open up their hearts to what I am saying here, they will be
able to trace each division back to one of these five streams. We will come to
that later, only one of these streams
is right, I will leave that for a little while to name out these five
main divisions, but I would enlighten
you upon the subject of, why, after God sending a mighty Prophet like Elijah,
who shook the world with signs and wonders and miracles, as no man ever shook
the World since the days of the Apostles, why is it that such divisions must
take place around the Message, after he has brought the Message so plainly,
revealed the Mysteries according to Revelation 10:7.
All the Mysteries that were
written in the Book was supposed to be revealed and after all the Mysteries of
God were revealed, signs and wonders demonstrated, the dead raised, several
cases, hundreds of thousands of cases of cancers melting away and books upon
books speak of these miracles. Why should there be divisions, doctrinal
divisions amongst the people of God? I want to explain that for you, then after
I explain that for you I want to show you the five main divisions, doctrinal
divisions of the Message.
This is of great edification
to the Ministers, that if they would study this out, grasp it. Wherever you meet
a man upon the globe that preaches this Message, you will be able to trace him
back to one of these doctrinal divisions. Why divisions? I just gave you one of
the reasons. Why there are doctrinal divisions in the Message and that is
because there won't be any organizations come out of this Message. That is
first and foremost. I want to draw your attention to something here and that
is, after this great Message was preached today and the Mysteries were revealed
there was another prophecy to be fulfilled. Little ones, I want you to
understand this, it was prophesied in Malachi 4, "Behold I send unto you
Elijah the Prophet, before the coming of the great and the dreadful day of the
Lord." That is
true, that's a true Prophet coming, but notice in Matthew 24:24 - ..."It is
also written, false christs and false prophets shall arise and deceive many, it
is also written that many shall come in my name saying that I am Christ,
believe them not, and if they shall say that he is in the secret chamber,
believe them not, if they shall say that he is in the desert place, go not
forth."
Now these are the warnings
of our Lord, that such false prophets and false christs and false Jesus', yes,
false Messiahs will arise in the last day before the coming of the Lord, Malachi
4, Elijah. William Branham was here forerunning the coming of the Lord, When he
took his departure, false anointed ones were loosed upon the face of the earth.
So it was prophesied over here just before the coming of the Lord, these false prophets and false christs shall arise in
the end time. And you know the Parable of the Sower and the Seed, the man
dressed in white went out and sowed his seed and then there came a man dressed
in black to sow tares. That is the
period of time that the Message Believers have entered into after the departure
of William Branham. After the departure of William Branham there started
another time upon Earth where the false anointed ones was supposed to be given
a period of time to sow their seeds. Now that period of time that was given to
sow their seed is about run out. Something new is going to take place shortly. Why divisions? After the Messenger went
his way the revival died down, you did not hear much about great signs and
wonders and miracles. It was the time that the false anointed ones was given
the chance by God to go out and plant their seeds. So the Devil is smart
enough, he already has every organization in the world. He is not bothered
about the organizations. Every organization is of the Devil. Every organization
is headed back to Rome, Every organization is built on the Trinity, that is
together with the Independents. They are going back to Rome.
The Devil is concerned about
the people that William Branham called out of organization since they are
making their escape and stand a chance
to go in the Rapture. So these false anointed ones took up the Spoken Word
books and they took up the tapes of William Branham, that was your sower
dressed in black. He had a bag of seeds that was marked Malachi 4:5&6, but
inside of that bag was false seeds.
Seeds of Discrepancy and with a cassette player and a Spoken Word book
in their hands, preaching the Love Gospel. Why would they preach the Love
Gospel? False anointed ones preach the Love Gospel because if they can establish
the Love Gospel the true Servants of God will be afraid to expose them, so they
hide under a certain cloak. Everybody that start talking about heresy, false
doctrine and false prophets, these false anointed ones shut them up and say,
" love one another, don't you speak about another Brother, don't you call
out anybody's doctrine and say that it is false." So now, why divisions?
These false anointed ones went out sowing their seeds. These are the false anointed ones and false prophets that are
responsible for the divisions. They are first responsible for false
doctrines.. Now these divisions are
caused by the false anointed ones sowing the wrong seeds.
Let me give you the next
reason. Why divisions in the Message? When the people heard the Message, from the
organizations - Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal and Methodist, when they came
out of their organizations with their seeds, they came over here, under the
Message and instead of emptying themselves from those false corruptible seeds
of the Serpent, they came in with those seeds into the Message and those seeds
of organization got hybrid with the Message of the Hour. When the Baptist came
with his Baptist seed, he could only see the Message in a Baptist light. The
Pentecostals, with his Pentecostal seed, could only see the Message in a
Pentecostal light. The Catholic could only see it in a Catholic light,
Jehovah's Witness sees it in a Jehovah's Witness' light, Seventh Day Adventist
sees it in a Seventh Day Adventist light. Do you see? Now although we do not
have an organization under the Message, we have an organizational spirit and we
have organizational seeds. The reasons for these divisions are that these seeds
that Ministers brought over from the
Baptist and the Pentecostal church cannot blend in together, because the
Pentecostals and Baptists don't agree. Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day
Adventists don't agree. Nazarenes and Catholics don't agree. Beloved, what is
following this Message here today and what is responsible for the doctrinal
divisions are the different types of seeds. The different types of spirits that
were not changed when people came under the Message. So we still have Baptists,
Nazarenes, Catholics etc., under the Message and they don't agree, just as
certain as the thousands of organizations, cross swords with one another, fight
and persecute one another, so are the assemblies in this Message. They came
under the Message, but brought over their denominational seeds, they came under
the Message, but brought over their denominational spirits and when these
Ministers came from the organizations, the false anointed ones mixed with these
sincere Ministers that came out of organizations. These false anointed ones
born to condemnation, sent of the Devil to preach the Message, sent of the Devil
to hybrid the Message of the Hour, sent of the Devil to stop the Bride from
coming to the true Revelation of the Message of the Hour, and what you have is many a man with a Baptist,
Pentecostal and Methodist seed and very few borned again of the Spirit. Very
few have a Revelation of the Message of the Hour.
Now you have a great
conglomeration of organizational seeds and organizational spirits,
organizational standards of Holiness,
music, and living. They have their own interpretation on holiness, singing,
morality, that is why there is not a oneness. Although there is oneness on the
basic doctrines but not on other things, even because we are dealing with
spirits. You are dealing with spirits, you are dealing with false seeds. So now
these false anointed ones are behind
the pulpit today, and they are some of the biggest names in the Message and
they lead great congregations. They
have great names, international names, throughout the Message, we have one right in out back yard. He is a Joshua,
White Eagle, Eight Messenger, Five Star General, international fame. Revealer
of the Seven Thunders, Interpreter of the Light in the Pyramid Rock. In my
book, he is sent of the Devil and is a false anointed one.
Let me just go over that
again, why after such a great Message we have divisions and whoever want an
excuse to go back in the world, they say, "I am tired about this
confusion, I am going to drink and smoke." you will end up in Hell in any
case. I will show you that every true Message that God sent upon the face of
the earth, there were divisions amongst the people of God. Let me quote that
before you get away. When Jesus Christ came and he preached the Gospel the
Bible said, "And there was a division because of Him." and when He
stood up there one day, he said, "except ye eat the flesh of the Son of
Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you." The Bible says many walked no more
with Him, for they said, "this is a hard saying, who can hear it?"
The Elect of God will believe the Revelation of the Son of Man. Except ye eat
the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. I
could believe it. The Elect could believe it.
Why divisions, after such a
great Message? Because there would be no organization borned out of this Message. Organization means that everybody
comes together under one banner. It has not happened in thirty-six years. It
shows that the Message and the prediction is true. Secondly because false
anointed ones was supposed to be loosed immediately after the days of this
Message, that was your sower dressed in black. The reason is that the people
that came out together with the Ministers, came with their organizational seeds
and spirits and Ministers who tried to
handle a Holy Message, hybrid the Message with their false seeds and
preached it with their false spirits. They impregnated their followers with the
seeds that they were carrying. You can only be impregnated with the seeds that
you are taking into your spiritual womb. If you are following the Word of God here today, then my Brother, you can only be
impregnated with the incorruptible seed.
1Peter 1:23 - "Being
borned again not of corruptible seed but by the incorruptible which is the Word
of God that liveth and abideth forever."
"Ye must be borned
again." Satan's strategy is to
pervert the Word of God and I want to prove that to you for a few minutes.
Satan's strategy in fighting Almighty God over the souls of mankind. His
everlasting strategy is to pervert any true Message that God sends upon the
earth, bring a division and eventually imprison souls. God brought a Message to
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and
that true Message, Satan came by and whenever Satan comes by, he must have a
vessel to use. The Serpent was the false anointed one, the first false anointed
one was the Serpent and that false anointed one was loosed immediately after
God brought the true Message.
Today, we had a true Message
by William Branham, immediately when he turned his back, false anointed ones
were loosed. We had a first Messenger called Paul and after he turned his back,
false anointed ones was loosed in the Ephesian Church. So there that Devil came in after the true
Message and he anointed somebody to go and pervert the true Message. Whenever the true Message is perverted it
produces death and separation from Almighty God. Separation amongst
Believers and I don't have to go through all of that, everybody knows what
happened in Genesis. My emphasis is that, there was a true Message and Satan's strategy is always to pervert
the true Message. We look and see under Moses, was that a true Message? Did the
Devil come in there to pervert the Message? Did he put unbelief in it? Moses
typed out William Branham today with a Pillar of Fire, leading an exodus out of
Egypt land, calling the people out of organization to go into the Promised
Land. We are heading for a Promised Land, another Outpouring of the Holy
Spirit. False anointed ones are under this Message, we have Korah, Abiram and
Dathan that are causing doctrinal divisions and turning people away from the
Message of the Hour, right under this Message! God brought a true Message to
the Earth Himself. The prophets failed, so God took on humanity, not a trinity.
God veiled in human flesh. John 4:24 - "God is a spirit.. 1Timothy
3:16 - "Without controversy...God was manifested in the flesh."
Did He come with a pure Message? And right at the supper table you had a Judas
and on His left side He had seventy preachers that did not believe the Message.
Was there divisions under Jesus? Now if you want to leave because there are
divisions under the Message, then my Brother, you should leave Jesus too. You
should leave the whole Gospel. I am saying that all the divisions were
fore-ordained of God. I say the
divisions around the Message proves that the Message is true. I say all the
divisions around this Message are supposed to be here this time and all the
computers will never bring the people together. All the Ministers' meetings
will never bring the people together. All their Conventions will never bring
the people together. All the books that they write will never bring the people
together. All the quotations cannot bring the people together. God has a
program. He has a time for it and He will bring that to past in His time. I
will show you His program.
We come back to our
Scripture from Galatians 1, divisions, and here is the first Messenger to the
Gentiles, called Paul, he said, "I marvel", it surprised
him a little bit, "that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace
of Christ, unto another Gospel." While this Messenger was alive, some of the people went over to
another Gospel Message. He said, "Boy you took me by surprise!, I thought
you would have some respect for the Messenger at least." He said, "Which
is not another but there be some that will trouble you, and would..."
What? ... "pervert the Gospel of Christ." The Gospel of
Christ was the Message of the Hour. Somebody would change it, somebody would
misconstrue it and then He went on to say, "If any man come and bring any other
Gospel unto you, let him be accursed." Its wrong, he said, and
further more, I want you to know that the Message I preached to you came from
God, by divine revelation to me. I never received it of a man, but it was by
the Revelation of Jesus Christ. And any man that change that Message, let him
be accursed. I say, any man that change the Message of William Branham, let him
be accursed, any man that pervert the teachings of Malachi 4, let him be
accursed. It is the false anointed ones. Its the Devil incarnated in human
flesh. William Branham was the last Messenger of the Seven Church Ages. So Satan's strategy is to pervert the true
Message in order to damn the souls of men, because if they will hear that true
Message and get a Revelation of it, they shall live.
In that early age all kinds
of doctrines came up around that early Message, all kinds of doctrines, do you
know why all kinds of doctrines? Let me stay on that for two minutes. They came
out of Judaism, which was the organization in that hour, with their own seeds
and a hangover of the law, and then the Romans came from a great philosophy
called "Gnosticism". And coming from Gnosticism with there own seeds,
Roman Seeds, Jewish Seeds, Pharisees' seeds, Saducees' seeds, all kinds of a
religious seeds. They came by and they hybrided the Message of the Hour, that
is why you read in the Epistles, Brother Paul fighting against Judaism, and
Brother John fighting against Gnosticism, even because they brought their seeds
from the religions and hybreeded the Message of the Hour, that is the same
thing that happened today under this Message.
Let me give you this picture
real good and then you would see every false prophet, every false church. Now
they are exposed. There came William Branham, God's Servant and Prophet, Elijah
by name, when he came into this world, his Ministry had three phases, now the
first phase that he came with was the Moses Ministry. How was it the Moses
Ministry? Moses had a Pillar of Fire, did Brother Branham have a Pillar of
Fire? Moses came with two signs, did Brother Branham come with two signs? Moses
came to lead a people out of Egypt Land and take them to a Promised Land.
Brother Branham came and lead an exodus out of organization. He said, he was
heading to the Promised Land and it happened that our Moses died, before we
reach the Promised Land, it got to run right, does that mean we won't get the
Promised Land? No!, we are going to get the Promised Land. That was one phase
it was a calling out with two signs.
Then there was another phase
of the Ministry of Brother Branham where he was gifted of God to discern the
thoughts and the intents of the heart. To demonstrate what happened, a man
would come before him, he will say your name is so and so, you came from such and
such city, your house number is such and such, you went to the doctor and he
diagnosed cancer and they turn you down to die. He would say, "Are all
those things the truth?" The person would say, "Yes, that's the
truth." yes sir, and then he would turn around and say, "you
committed adultery five years ago and because of this sin in your life, this
cancer is upon you." He would say, "if you'll repent and correct that
you will be healed," The man repented, he said, "Thus saith the Lord,
you are healed", and the cancer will melt away. I want to see some of them
days again, send some more Elijahs to pray the power down. It is going to
happen as sure as the World. It is going to happen. It is building up to
something real sweet, bear patience.
So now in the Ministry of
Brother Branham in the first and the second phase. Brother Branham led about
three million souls into the kingdom of God. In South Durban Africa, in one
altar call, thirty thousand 'blanket natives' repented.
So now during the course of time all the followers of the Message,
listening to the Prophet of God saying, "My Ministry is going to climb
even higher." He called it the Third Pull (Bride language,) third phase,
He said, "and in this third phase
the miracles and signs will surpass the miracles of the first and second phase
where we will speak the Word as the Church of God and things will create
itself," (Look Away To Jesus, 29/12/63) so now in order for the Church
to understand what that was. Almighty God helped Brother Branham to demonstrate
that five times. Squirrels were spoken into existence, a fish was given its
life (resurrection), salvation was
given to Sister Hattie's boys, calming of the Colorado Storm, and the healing
of Sister Branham. The Prophet said what you see demonstrate temporarily, will
be manifested in the fullness of its power.
Everybody looked forward for
that great Ministry. The visions started coming, dreams started coming,
revelation started coming. More information came from God concerning that
Ministry. It happened that a vision came forth of what we call the White Horse
Rider. Brother Branham was riding the horse. Another experience came forth of a
White Eagle, a Dove leading the Eagle. Another revelation came forth which was
called the Joshua Commission. Another revelation came forth which was
concerning a Bride's Revival. Another revelation came forth which says Seven
Thunders. Another revelation came forth which says Seven Seals, The Pyramid
Mystery and The Tent Vision. All these visions and dreams and revelations
pertain to a certain Ministry that was to come upon the earth before the
Rapture take place. I am talking about a Ministry, now nobody, could have
figured out in that day, what that Ministry is going to be like. All that they
knew that some Spoken Word creations were manifested.
Everybody lived in anticipation for that great
ministry. They wanted to see Joshua come on the scene. They wanted to see the
Speak the Word creative power come on the scene, into the church. They wanted
to see what was the White Horse, what was the White Eagle, what was the Dove
leading the Eagle. They wanted to see the Bride's Revival. They looked forward
for the Latter Rain. Everybody were in anticipation even as everybody were in
anticipation under Moses to reach the promise land.
So we have a
picture before us, and with that picture before us now, I am going to show you
how the divisions came about and what are the five main divisions; Everybody
were expecting all these promises to be fulfilled, noone doubting, because they
were seeing a body of flesh before them, and for better than thirty years, this
man was reputed for having everything that he said come to pass. But one day it
so happened that a news came across and said "William Branham died in an
accident." When that happened, the first doctrine that started flying was
to "come down to this certain meeting, because you might be the fortunate
one to have the mantle of Elijah fall on you."
These five
main doctrinal divisions in the message are based upon the fact of men trying
to figure out how the third part of Brother Branham's ministry would be
fulfilled. Let that soak in. I hope you understand what I am saying? Do you see
why the doctrinal divisions? Do you see why different doctrines? Because
everybody were believing this while the prophet was alive and suddenly, he fell asleep.
Now, my
brothers and sisters, intellectual men arose,
men arose speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after their
own selves. The false anointed ones took a deep breath, Paul turned his back. Acts 20:28-30 - "Take heed therefore
unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made
you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which he hath purchased with his own
blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in
among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise,
speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them." Everybody
got bright, everybody got smart, and everybody were going to figure out how
this Ministry is going to be.
The American people who believe they are the super
race, that everybody in the world should believe what they say and be ruled by
their system, that they are the elites, in science and making bombs, who pride
themselves in other scientific achievements. They brought that proud attitude
into organizations and later will cause the World to worship the Beast. Revelation
13. They used their big intellectual scientific minds to pervert the
Message, and many of these doctrines were born in the United States, because
the false anointed ones had to be in America, where Elijah was, right where the
true seeds were first sown by the Sower dressed in white. And don't forget that America will cause the
whole world to bow down to the Pope in a one-world religion and a one-world
Government. Its the proudest Nation upon earth, and the proudest and most
immoral preachers in the world are the
American preachers. Tell them that this little Preacher of Righteousness in
Trinidad said that. They are demon possessed! False anointed ones!
There are very few true servants of God in America.
And as they pervert the world from Hollywood by their televisions and all their
immoral filth. In like manner
they pervert the world with false gospels,prophets and organizations and now
they are taking a perverted message throughout the world. That is why they
corrupt the Africans, that is why they corrupt the Indians, that is why they
corrupt Europe, they carry all their
false doctrines and their false seeds around the World. They had been sowing
those seeds since nineteen sixty six and have produced two fold more children
of Hell than themselves. America, that nation, thinks that everybody should
rule under her. But when they ran into a man like Sadaam Hosein, that was a
different kettle of fish. When they ran into Castro. William Branham commended
Castro as a smart man for writing off the money and having changed the
currency. The whole of the World's money is controlled right in America. They
think they could control the whole world, and that is the same spirit that has
fallen upon those preachers. Yes! A super power spirit. There isn't any
superman in this message. God will show you that you are not any superman.
There is one superman and that is Christ, and we are more than conquerors
through him that strengtheneth us.
We will be the Super Church, Super Race and Super Power when the
Capstone comes. (Ref. Exposition of the
Seven Church Ages, pages 171-172)
I want you to catch that point so bad. All the
doctrines in the world that divides the people in the message are based upon
preachers trying to figure out what is the third part of Brother Branham's
ministry, which was not clearly revealed, because it was in an unknown
language. But these big bright brains, proud puffed up nation with their
preachers, intellectualism, as soon as the man turned his back, try to figure
out how those things will be fulfilled. How "White Horse",
"White Eagle", "Dove", "Bride's Revival",
"Speak the Word Ministry", "Latter Rain", how all those
things would be fulfilled. Therefore, these five main streams flowed from
America.
FIRST
DOCTRINAL DIVISION
The first
doctrinal division out of these five, I will identify. There was a group that
so believed Brother Branham and the third part of his ministry to be fulfilled,
that when he died they brought up a resurrection doctrine immediately. That was the first doctrine that went out. Do you
know why they brought that up? Do you know why they brought up a resurrection
doctrine? Because they had believed that the ministry of Brother Branham was
oncompleted. The White Horse was supposed to ride and the White Eagle was
supposed to fly. Don't you see what I am saying? And a Bride's Revival was
supposed to be, and Speak the Word ministry was supposed to be
demonstrated.
So now, that took a course that involved prominent
men, great men, some elected children.
On account of that doctrine, people went down to his grave on Easter
Sunday hoping for his resurrection. That was a main stream of doctrine. Now, I
am saying again, why was a resurrection doctrine made? It was made because they
believed that Brother Branham's Ministry was incompleted, and those things were
to be fulfilled including the Seven Thunders Revelation, and those things were to be fulfilled, when
he comes back from the grave in a private resurrection. As the years passed by,
this doctrine was changed to forty days before the Rapture.
Second Doctrinal Division
Secondly,
other men who got impatient to wait upon the resurrection, or who claimed swelling revelations came up
with another doctrine soon after that, and said you know what happen,
everything that Brother Branham spoke about: White horse, White Eagle and all
those other things were fulfilled in Brother Branham, but you've got to have a
revelation to see that it was fulfilled in him, especially at the opening of
the Seals. Therefore, there came up a
dead doctrine of no more revival. It has happened already. No more White Horse.
It has happened already. White Eagle has happened already. Seven Thunders?
Brother Branham revealed it in 1963. Joshua Commission was the Word from the
Seven Seals. The Cloud of 1963 was the Tent Ministry, therefore all was in
Brother Branham.. Now, I say, that is
idolatry! And we do not believe in idolatry. And then, a big thing, is that
.God is fulfilling all the third part of Brother Branham's ministry by the Word
only, we don't need any more power, we don't need any more outpouring, it is
happening in the Word. I have a message for you: the letter killeth, but the
Spirit giveth life. This dead
doctrine number two, of all was in Brother Branham, no more outpouring, and
latter rain was exposed in the third book. They were blown to pieces in America
by militant servants of Christ of the "Fifth Doctrinal Division."
THE THIRD
DOCTRINAL DIVISION
The third doctrinal division concerns the Prophetic
Office of Brother Joseph Brahnam, the son of Brother William Branham, God's
Servant and Prophet who is supposed to
be a prophet according to the prophecy of Brother Branham, which we believe. He
was too small then. His father died when he was approximately ten years of age.
So he grew up a little bit, and after he grew up a little, some bright fellows
came together and said that Joseph is
that man to fulfill all that Brother Branham didn't fulfill. You see how
they figure it out; do you see how it goes back to the third phase of Brother
Branham's ministry, in men: intellectual men, seeds of the serpent, false
anointed ones, deceived children of God, deceived sons of God, trying to figure
out something that they have no right to figure out? Then they brought up this
doctrine that Joseph will be that man, which we heard here, presented to many
of us. That's your third. Now, my brothers and sisters, I want to state right
here that Joseph Branham wrote me and told me that he does not endorse that
doctrine. Didn't I read it to you here? (Congregation says .Amen.).
THE FOURTH
DOCTRINAL DIVISION
The fourth
stream that flowed out is that
.individual messengers after Brother Branham to reveal the Seven Thunders,
claiming to be Christ, leading the Bride, and evangelizing the Seven Thunders..
Now, out here on this fourth one are
different men that arose throughout the world, that claim to be that one to
fulfill the third phase of Brother Branham's ministry.
All right, let me go over that with you again. All
these doctrines were based upon the fact of figuring out Brother Branham's
third phase of his ministry. Is that right? Number one, a resurrection doctrine
came out. Secondly, redemption is over and all was in Brother Branham. Thirdly,
Joseph will be the one to fulfill that, and fourthly, individuals rose up
around the world claiming to be that man to fulfill that ministry, and each one
of them has a different version of their Thunders and how that will be
fulfilled. Upon the four items that I just brought out here; those are the
doctrines that were figured out concerning Brother Branham's ministry, and out
of the thousands of divisions in the message, they are all connected to one of
these doctrines. They are connected to an eight messenger who has the Seven
Thunders. Right in Latin America here, there is a man that claim to be that
eighth messenger. He has his books everywhere. So now these eighth messengers
are around the world. Now that's your fourth category. Upon these four things
here, all the assemblies that follow Brother Branham's message are hooked in
there in either one or the other.
THE FIFTH
DOCTRINAL DIVISION
I am saying that
this fifth division is the right division, and I boldly declare that we, are a
part of that elected group which make up the church of the living God. We belong to this fifth division. Be ye
separated and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you saith the
Lord. We have a right to separate. We identify ourselves with it, and we are
not guessing if the other four divisions are right or wrong. We are right, and
all other divisions are wrong! And anybody who wants to be right has got to
follow this fifth division, because that is what was spoken by Malachi 4. as
the Super Church and Super Race when she comes to the headstone. This group is
not an isolated Church somewhere, that every body must attend but there is a
group that is in the minority today, a little flock in the back parts of the
desert around the World, who believes in another outpouring of the Holy Ghost,
which is the Promised Land, and that Outpouring of the Holy Ghost must come
upon the Bride of Jesus Christ to fulfill the third part of Brother Branham's
ministry.
Let me go over that again. There is a group today upon the earth in the back parts of the desert
around the World that believe in another Outpouring of the Holy Spirit that
comes upon the Bride, which will fulfill the ministry of Brother Branham,
because it was not the ministry of Brother Branham, it was the ministry of
Christ. This program is clearly laid down in Brother Branham's message, and
I will verify that by his own words for you, for the church of God, to see who
is right and who is wrong. This true program of God was overlooked by
intellectual men.
Now when Brother Branham himself was confused about
the third part of his ministry, God came down supernaturally to him and told him
to pick up his pen and write. In that message from Almighty God, that came
supernaturally, was the answer of how the third part of his Ministry would be
fulfilled. All these interpreters overlooked the Word to the Bride that came to
the Prophet which even enlightened the Prophet of how that Ministry would be
fulfilled. The following is God's plan and program laid down by God
Himself. Quote:
"The
very same law applies to the church today. Whatever seed started the church
will come forth and be like the original seed because it is the same seed. 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. Denominations cannot
produce this (wrong seed). They will produce their creeds and their dogmas,
mixed with the Word. This mongrelizing brings forth a hybrid product.... Here
is the secret of this. The Word is in the bride (as it was in Mary). The bride
has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word. She
performs the command of the Word in His name for she has "thus saith the
Lord." Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass. Like
a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full harvest, serving its
purpose. 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 works,
fulfilling His own Word. He did not complete all His work while in His earthly
ministry so now He works in and through the bride. She knows that, for it
was not yet time for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But He will
now fulfill through the bride that work which He left for this specific time.
Now let us stand like Joshua and Caleb. Our
promised land is coming in sight even as theirs did... "(Church Age
Book, Pages 171-172) Brothers and
Sisters, this is a simple subject to me. Christ did not complete all his work
in his earthly Ministry. Is that right? He must now complete the work in and
through the Bride. The third part of Brother Branham's Ministry would be
fulfilled through the Bride of Christ. And how will it be fulfilled through the
Bride of Christ? By the Headstone coming upon the Bride, which is another
Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Our Promised Land is nearing. The Prophet of
God said that the True Church will try to approximate that early church at
Pentecost. The True Church is separated for this cause.
"The True Church will always try to be
like the original at Pentecost. The True Church of today will try to
approximate that early first one. And the messengers to the churches,
having the same Spirit of God in them, will try to approximate the apostle
Paul. They won't be exactly like him; but the true messengers will be the ones
that come the closest to Paul, who was free of all men, sold out to God, and
gave forth the Word of God only, and manifested the Holy Ghost in power. None
else would do. 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 and her
messengers will follow the apostle Paul, the first messenger to the first
church age.."(Church Age Book, page 68-1) Do you want to identify the True Church?
The True Church will be preaching "Back to Pentecost." Let
me show you the kind of ministers that's supposed to preach. "I tell you; the church needs a nest
shaking today with a mighty rushing wind to take all the world out of the
Pentecostal church, where we can solo. We need another old-time Gospel, Holy
Ghost, God-born sent revival. That's exactly right. We don't need a new
President. We've got one--a dandy. We don't new--need new mayors of the city.
Whatever... That's not... Now, that's their business. But what we need as ministers is to preach the Gospel and bring the
church back to Pentecost again, bring it back to--to eagle experience
again. That's what the church needs.
That's the... Oh, just... You don't want to be chickens. You're eagles. You
have to take eagle food.." (As Eagle Stirreth, Tulsa Ok. V-2
N-12 60-0403) The
only kind of Ministers should be behind the Pulpit are those that are preaching
the people back to Pentecost, and anybody that is not preaching the people back
to Pentecost is a "chicken preacher", and he needs to leave the
Pulpit because he has unbelief in the Promise of God for the Hour. The only
kind of Preachers that should preach today are those who are preaching the
Promise of God. All else are false and they don't know what they are talking
about. How many believe? (Congregation says .Amen.).
I am here to tell you that we have not followed
cunningly devised fables but we have followed a sure Word of prophecy, which
shall surely come to pass. The simplicity of the fulfillment of the third phase of William Branham's Ministry is an
Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and when that happens even Joseph Branham
will know his Ministry by Revelation. There will be more Apostles and there
will be more Prophets upon the Earth here. You say, Brother Branham was the
last Prophet? You better check it back. Then why did he say that Joseph is a
prophet? You better correct him. God
hath set some in the church, apostles and then what? (Congregation says,
"prophets"). Prophets, Teachers, Evangelists and Pastors. Is that right?
(Congregation says .Amen.). And then when this Outpouring comes upon the face
of the Earth, it positionally places the Church in order and it sets the office
gifts in their order, and then those
office gifts will fulfill the third part of Brother Branham's Ministry.
No resurrection doctrine we believe in, no all is
over, Joseph is not a prophet right now, although he was borned a Prophet, he
must be called, trained and sent, and we don't have any eighth messenger upon
the Earth right now evangelizing the Seven Thunders. They are all false, every division around the world is heaped up
in one of these five doctrinal divisions that I counted out to you. But thank
God we are on the right side. Five is the number of grace, and thank God for
his grace today. We are not ashamed to be identified with the fifth division.
Yes, we belong to the fifth division. Tell the world we belong to the fifth
division. Yes, and the fifth division is the right division to follow the Lord. For the purpose of Damnable
Heresies Book 4, Articles 36 to 39, we shall now consider each doctrinal
division separately, using additional scriptures, quotations of Brother
Branham, facts, and historical proofs.
(Heretical Article No. 36)
"The Bride is awaiting the resurrection Of Brother Branham Who will come forth in his new ministry, the third pull and the seven thunders for the rapture of the church and to give a last witness to lost souls."
John 5:28 - "Marvel not at this: for the hour
is coming in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice."
2Timothy 2:15 - 18 - "Study to shew 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; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some."
This doctrine is contrary to the Word of God and the holiness message of William Branham, God's Elijah of Malachi 4:5&6. What gave rise to this heretical Resurrection doctrine is the fact that the Ministry of William Branham was incomplete even as Moses did not complete his mission. His unfinished Ministry included the Tent Vision, the White Horse rider, the white eagle, the third pull, the Joshua Commission, the revealing of the seven thunders and other Visions. Many arose having this unscriptural Resurrection vision. This New Ministry also concerns, the Vision of the 'dark people' in Old Mexico, Three hundred thousand souls to be saved in Durban, South Africa and the Vision of having one of the greatest meetings in India since Pentecost.
Immediately after the death and even before he was
buried there arose rumors and speculations that Brother Branham will arise from
the dead to fulfill his unfinished ministry. These rumors and speculations
conceived, were propagated by several people.
Some expected his resurrection in three days, others in forty days and
some on Easter Sunday of 1966, and in the years that followed, especially 1977,
and continued up to date. It was rumored that an airplane painted white which
was supposed to be the White Eagle and White Horse, awaited the resurrection of
Brother Branham to fly him around the World. Likewise a great tent was said to
be prepared in which he would conduct his meetings thus fulfilling the Tent
Vision. He was expected to bring back from the grave the secret of total
redemption , rapturing faith and power of translation for the rapture. He was
to come back with the revelation of the Seventh Seal since it was the
resurrection seal that held the seven thunders for rapturing faith. Since the
Third Pull is the same Ministry, the “Speak the Word” Ministry is to be
demonstrated in its fullness and witness to the total lost. Meanwhile the Bride
awaits the resurrection of the Prophet, he is witnessing to the Souls in
Prison, in the regions of the lost, even like Christ did before his
resurrection. (Peter 3).
Some who embraced this doctrine of a private
resurrection for Brother Branham abandoned their beliefs after three days and
forty days respectively. Others, who continued, expected his resurrection at Easter
Sunday of each year, even congregating at his grave during that time.
One of the persons to project such a doctrine of the
resurrection of Brother Branham to continue his Ministry was a 'learned
theologian', close to him, who edited and compiled the “Exposition of the Seven
Church Ages” Book.
Quoting from "Acts of the Prophet" by
Pearry Green:
"Brother Branham had spoken highly of Brother Vayle and
had even said that if you wanted to know what he believed, just ask Brother
Vayle. He stands as a beacon to Brother Branham's message, shedding light from
the Scriptures. It was midnight when I arrived at Brother Vayle's room and got
him out of bed. I implored him to help me understand. "I'm just like
you," he answered, "I don't understand either." he went over the
visions, including the tent vision. "Unless
God has cut the work short," he said, "He's got to rise." (Last
Moments, page 155)
The writer of the "Acts of the Prophet" also
believed in the resurrection of William Branham and even indicated in the
affirmative to the United Press International (UPI), Louisville. Quoting a
telephone conversation between the writer and a representative of the UPI.
"Aren't you people expecting William Branham to rise on
Easter morning?"
The bluntness of his question shook me a little, but I managed
a careful answer, "Well sir, there may be some that believe that. What
faith are you?
"Baptist," came the reply.
"Don't you believe in the resurrection?" I
countered. "Don't you believe in the second coming of the Lord?"
"Yes sir," he admitted.
"Well, so do we," I said.
His next question was designed to put words in my mouth,
"Do you think it could take place in the morning?"
"Sir, I said innocently, "I wouldn't be a bit
surprised when it would happen." (Page 163-164)
" At each stage of the journey, I found myself as close
to the prophet's head as I could be, expecting that at any moment he would
whisper to me, "Brother Green, get me out of here!" (Page 152)
"Truthfully, I did not expect Brother Branham to be there
when I returned." (Page 153)
"Each moment I expected the hear that prophet say, "Brother Green, get me out of
here." It was cold and lonely
in that warehouse. Thoughts raced through my mind, questions, more questions,
... now what? Again the faithful Word came to my rescue: "Though one rise
from the dead, they would not believe." After all, what would I do if he
were to speak to me? Would anyone believe me if he did arise? Would Brother Billy
Paul believe me? Would Brother Borders believe me? Or would they all blame me
if the body was to turn up missing? At that time, I felt to ask the Lord
whether I was being shown that he was to come forth with all the dead in
Christ. Then I said, "Lord, don't
let him rise here with just me. Wait until there are witnesses." (Page
154)
From the death of Brother Branham until now, many
years have passed and we are uncertain of their beliefs. We cannot say if they
have abandoned such belief or if they still hold on to it. We state what was
said in the Book, "Acts Of The Prophet", written by Pearry Green.
Many private resurrection believers changed their
doctrine to the first resurrection, thirty to thirty-five days before the
rapture. Since there is no Scripture for a private resurrection and their
Easter expectations failed over the decades and resulted in many rejecting the
Message, and returning to Organizations and the World.
1977 was a year of great expectation for such
misguided souls. Since in their conception they magnified the predictions of
Brother Branham concerning that year and treated it as prophecy. Brother
Branham nor the Lord Jesus Christ returned, though some claimed to have seen
the Prophet in a resurrected form and felt him in his 'parousia' (presence) at
his grave and secret chambers. While many believers are outspoken upon this
doctrine, other secretly believe it, testify, witness and preach it in a most
subtle manner.
A
'Quotation Book' was published in the 1970's by Robert Moore a former believer
of the Message of Malachi 4:5&6. The intention and purpose of the book was
never expressed and was certainly unclear to many believers of the Message.
However the subject was carefully arranged to show the New Ministry of Brother
Branham and its incompletion, and the necessity of the promised fulfillment of
all prophecies, visions, dreams and Scriptures that pertains to the third phase
of Brother Branham's Ministry. Great patience was exercised to make the topical
index of the quotation book. The major subjects referred to those items that
makes up the third phase of Brother Branham's Ministry. Then in a noticeable
manner, on Index page one, is the subject "Branham", William
Departure (1965) and "RETURN", which refers to future activities of
the prophet in his New Ministry.
Robert Moore of Arizona employed quotations from
more that five hundred and seventy taped Messages in his fantastic work, but
his strongest indication of the fulfillment of the unfinished Ministry of Brother
Branham is his return. Yet he did not commit himself openly to the resurrection doctrine. It
is regrettable to state that Robert Moore (deceased), rejected the Prophet and
his Message and supported Baptist organizations in writing against him and his
Ministry (The
Healer-Prophet, William Marrion Branham
--- C. Douglas Weaver).
This poor deluded man deceived by Satan through his
own interpretations and expectations suffered great disappointment. May his
soul threatening and fatal mistake be a warning to all interpreters of the
fulfillment of the third phase of Brother Branham's Ministry which is actually
the ministry of Christ fulfilled through His Bride. Since Mr. Moore did not
emphasize Joseph Branham, nor himself or another as the fulfillment of Christ's
Ministry and evidently ignored its fulfillment by the end time Bride, he can be
safely placed into the first division of the Message, the heresy of the
resurrection of Brother Branham.
Secret believers of the resurrection heresy plant
their seeds and pass on their spirit of unbelief and idolatry in a most subtle
and crafty method as seen displayed in the Index of Mr. Moore's book of
quotations. From behind the most popular Pulpits and from the lips of most
popular men, influential Preachers and great orators, speaking in the
affirmative, they emphasize the visions, dreams and prophecies, which pertains
to the third phase of the Ministry of Christ. This they do in indication of the
person of William Branham as the only fulfillment of that Ministry since he was
ordained to fulfill the Scripture of Malachi 4:5&6, Revelation 3:14-22,
10:7, etc. The spirit of idolatry has blinded the eyes of elected children
of God that they cannot divide the Ministry from the man. The man is gone home,
but the Ministry continues since it is Christ's Ministry.
There is no Scriptural basis for this heresy, but a
few misrepresented quotations are employed to secretly believe this heresy or
publicly preach it. Quote:
"That
same Voice that shall sound when the dead in Christ arise, "For the
trumpet... "The trumpet! What is a trumpet? The Voice of Christ, the same
One that turned and summoned him up. He heard the Voice like a trumpet. Now He
said, "Come up hither!" See how the resurrection will be? It'll be in
a moment, in a twinkling of an eye.
That clear sounding Voice, and He'll summons the Church, for He's come out of
it. That great summonsing Voice! God, help me to hear It that day. As I've
often said... I know, as a mortal, Rodney, I know that there's a big dark door
setting before me, it's called death. Everytime my heart beats, I'm one beat
closer to that door. Some of these days I got to go into it. But I don't want
to go in like a coward, screaming and hollering. I want to go in there,
wrapping myself in the robes of His righteousness, and know this, that I know
Him in the power of His resurrection; that someday when He calls, I'll come out from among the dead."
(Revelation, Chapter Four, part 1, page 577-578).
The above quotations are used out of context and are
misplaced and misunderstood. They were grouped together to formulate, project
and indicate a resurrection doctrine but the very quotations used to support a
private resurrection of Brother Branham contradicts that doctrine.
"I said,
'Look Billy, one of these days you ain't gonna have no daddy to take care of
you; Daddy's going to be gone. One of these mornings you'll come in the room
and look; perhaps Daddy'll be laying there, and you'll shake him, but he won't
wake. I said, 'Then they'll haul me down to this little ol' church in a box.
You'll pass by, this handkerchief in your hand, crying. Look down, "There'
a member Billy, I've always been an
early riser!" Hallelujah! Let
the trumpet sound. I'll come forth in the first resurrection. I believe in
rising early!” (Uncertain Sound. Jeff. Ind. 07/31/55)
"Rising early" does not in the least
indicate that he is coming up out of the grave before the rest of the Saints, he specified that the
trumpet must sound and he will come forth in the first resurrection. When the
great trumpet sounds all the dead in Christ shall rise, including Brother
Branham. 1Thess
4:16
"When he
calls I will come out from among the dead.” (Revelation Chapter Four)He expects to hear that voice at the time of the
first resurrection.
"God help
me to hear it that day.” (Revelation Chapter Four)
John 5:28 - "Marvel not at this; for the hour
is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice."
"How many
is here that's associated with the Tabernacle, let's see your hands? Everywhere.
My, I 'm sure - we're sure glad to have you. This is the closest meeting I've
been to Indiana for quite a while. Thinking about coming back pretty soon and
putting up a tent and having those seven last trumpets, the Lord willing."
(Spiritual Amnesia, Birmingham, Ala., 4/11/64)
"I'd like
to get a place sometime, the Lord willing, when the tent comes on the scene...
and I believe that's soon now. I'll soon go on a worldwide; I got a world wide
meetings coming now. And I - I'd like to get a place where I could just set
down for about six weeks and just take those things and go through them (you
see), back and forth through the Scripture." (Testimony, Shrevport, La.,
11/28/63)
"And
somehow or another, Lord, it may be You're driving us to that tent, to make
that vision fulfill. (Ashamed of Him,
page 18, Jeff. Ind. 07/11/65)
"And then
I'm here to get the trustees together. I'm kinda getting put out of all this
turning me down on place to hold a meeting when I'm feeling led to do it. So I
think I'm going to ask them if we just can't get out tent and - and put it up
and just stay there, and, you know. Get out here in the ball park or out on a
farm 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.
And I think that maybe the reason this happens... Now you know, a lot of times
we think it's horrible because certain things happen, but you know, that might
be God (see?) driving you into these things. When He said it, He'll do
it." (Doing God A Service Without His Will, page 5, Jeff. Ind. 07/18/65)
The Tent Vision of the Prophet, his part played out
in it, his great expectations and desire for its fulfillment to go Worldwide
with Speak the Word power, and his promises to many churches to return and
preach to them for weeks (made up to
1965), weeks before his departure, is a great stumbling block to
believers of this heresy since they cannot divide by revelation the man from
the Ministry.
His "Moses" Ministry as well as his
"Elijah" Ministry is completed but his "Christ" Ministry
lives on and will continue in the Bride to fulfill this vision with other
dreams, visions and prophecies.
"From a
little group of the true seed of the Word, God will present Christ with a
beloved bride. She is a virgin of His Word. She is a virgin because she knows
no man-made creeds or dogmas. By and through the members of the bride will be
fulfilled all that was promised of God to be made manifest in the virgin."
(Church Age Book. Page 171)
"The
bride has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word.
She performs the command of the Word in His name for she has "thus saith
the Lord." Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass.
Like a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full harvest, serving its
purpose. 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 works, fulfilling His own Word. He did not
complete all His work while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and
through the bride. She knows that, for it was not yet time for Him to do
certain things that He must now do. But He will now fulfill through the bride
that work which He left for this specific time."(Church Age Book. Page
172)
While it is complimentary that sincere Ministers and
believers that loves the Ministry of Malachi 4, can hold on to the promises of
God, termed the New Ministry of Brother Branham, it is gross error, heresy and
idolatry to presume that the Prophet must be present in a bodily form, by a
private resurrection of the first
resurrection, for the fulfillment of such promises. There is no place in
Scripture where God ever resurrect a Prophet to fulfill his incomplete mission
and Ministry, but He used other men to fulfill promises made to such Prophets
and God has not changed His Scriptural order in this last day Ministry of
Christ. But like it was in the day when the Son of Man was revealed in his
first coming so is it today when he is revealed in his second coming (Luke
17:30). Some by a resurrection doctrine presumed that Jesus, the Son of Man was
John the Baptist risen from the dead. (Matthew 16). They lacked a revelation of
Christ but Peter who was not bewitched by that heresy had a revelation that the
Ministry of Malachi 3 was all summed up in Christ and His Bride.
To believe such a doctrine is to limit God to the
flesh of the Prophet which equals idolatry. God's hands was not tied to the
flesh of Abraham when he promised him the Land of Caanan, he did not have to
resurrect him for the fulfillment of that promise.
Galatians 3:16 - "Now to Abraham and his seed
were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one,
And to thy seed, which is Christ.
The Promise passed on to Isaac and Jacob. All three
Prophets died and received not the Promise though it was specified to Abraham,
and all his seed. However the Promise was sure unto the seed. (Galatians 3) Likewise
it is sure unto the true seed Bride.
This heresy is full of unbelief even as the heresies
which made the second main divisional doctrine, propagating that all is over,
and all was in Brother Branham, the only difference is that he went to the grave
with “all”, and must return with it before the Church would accomplish anything.
This heresy under disguise of faith in all the
promises of God, and pretensions of saying only what the Prophet said,
believing it just the way he spoke it, and assuming that is the Word Test that
the elect must pass to qualify for the rapture is destructive. It has
overthrown the faith of many by setting dates for the resurrection of the
Prophet, which never came to pass. Some said it is already past, even as
Hymenaeus and Philetus whom Paul resisted for overthrowing the faith of many.
(2Timothy 15-18).
This is a dead doctrine of the dead, hoping and
believing for the fulfillment of God's promises by waiting on the dead. It is
idolatry, man worship and limiting God to the flesh. On the contrary Scripture
speaks of the dead waiting on us, the end time Bride. "God having provided
some better things for us, that they without us should not be made
perfect." (Hebrews 11:40)
We are not
waiting upon the resurrection of the Prophet for our perfection but he with the
rest of the dead are waiting upon us.
The Bride is perfected, adopted sons are manifested
and she has all that she needs for the rest of her journey before the first
resurrection. She is waiting on the adoption to wit the redemption of the body,
not the resurrection for her Ministry and perfection.
Romans 8:23 - "And not only they, but ourselves
also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within
ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body."
Romans 8:19-22, bears out that the whole
creation is awaiting on the manifestation of the Sons of God. Not one Son of
God, William Branham, because he himself is awaiting the manifestation of the
Sons of God and the adoption of the Church, to wit, the redemption of his body.
Therefore upon the basis of God's Word, it is dumb
spiritual ignorance to assume the Prophet must come back in the first
resurrection for the perfection of the Bride by his New Ministry of the Third
Pull and Seven Thunders.
To further prove by the Word and Message of Malachi
4, that the resurrection doctrine is heresy, inspired from the darkest abyss of
hell, we are taught by the Messenger that when the last soul comes into the Body
of Christ the blood leaves the Mercy Seat, the Gospel is turned to the Jews and
the first resurrection takes place. If the Prophet is at that time coming to
fulfill the third phase of his Ministry, of healing by the Spoken Word, souls
to be saved in Africa, three hundred thousand in India and many in other places
how can he do so without the blood upon the Mercy Seat? He cannot, because the
Covenant is not in effect. His resurrection then will serve no purpose to
believers of this damnable heresy. Therefore Beloved Brethren, deceived of
Satan, repent of this idolatry, "Cease ye from man whose breath is in his
nostril." Listen to the sound doctrine of Abraham when he corrected the
rich man in hell, when he tried to preach his resurrection doctrine to Father
Abraham.
Luke 16:31 - "And he said unto him, if they
hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one
rose from the dead."
The rich man's idea seemed good in his eyes, even like
this resurrection heresy fit the intellectualism of prominent men in high
places but its not of God. Abraham said it would not persuade the unbelievers
though one rose from the dead. If "Moses" and "Elijah's"
Ministry did not persuade men to
believe God's Word, neither will they be persuaded though he comes from
the dead.
A private resurrection is much more sensible than
the Prophet coming back in the first resurrection to continue his Ministry,
nevertheless both are unscriptural and
completely off the Message of Malachi 4:5-6. There are only five resurrections
that was prophesied in the Scripture, two were fulfilled in Scriptures, three
more are yet to be fulfilled.
Firstly - Our Lord Jesus Christ
was the only Prophet that returned from the dead to fulfill his ministry
and yet that was accomplished by his spirit anointing the church and his
messengers through out the seven church ages because he was the sinless son of
God born by the immaculate conception and it was prophesied of him that his
soul should not be left in hell nor his body see corruption. Thus he said,
"I have power to lay down my life and power to take it up again."
Psalms 16:10 - "For thou wilt not leave my soul
in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."
Psalms 49:15 - "But God will redeem my soul
from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah."
John 10:17-18 - "Therefore doth my Father love
me, because I lay down my life, that I might
take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I
have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment
have I received of my Father."
There is no Scripture to indicate and there is no
promise made about any other Prophet to come back from the dead to preach the
Gospel or fulfill any Ministry whatsoever.
This heresy claims that William Branham will rise to
continue his Ministry. Having a careful study into the Word from Genesis to
Revelation, there is no promise anywhere stated, implied or indicated even in
the smallest measure in the Word where there is a promise that the seventh
angel is to resurrect in any private resurrection to fulfill any ministry. No
one (prophet) ever came back and for William Branham to come it will break
every shadow and type in Scripture. No one can show us that. We challenge you
to do so and you cannot!
A study of the messages preached by Brother Branham
does not support such a claim. No part of the message and no quotations of the
messages can be found to support or indicate that there is a promise of a
private resurrection of Brother Branham. Such power was not invested by God in
any other Prophet, nor was it prophesied of them to arise in any resurrection
to complete any unfulfilled Ministry. Brother Branham never elevated himself in
any of his hundreds of Messages, to have such power as to lay down his life and to take it up again, and neither did
he do it to any man personally. He knew from Scriptures that, that power
belonged to the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be unscriptural for him to claim
such power.
No where in
the Messages did he say that he was coming back in any kind of Ministry. There is no indication
anywhere that when he die he will return to fulfill his unfinished Ministry of
The Third Pull, Joshua Commission, to Ride the Trail again and such like. On the contrary, he said, "When I
leave you, I'll be leaving for good." (Revelation
of the Seven Seals, page 567)
To believe
such an erroneous doctrine that Brother Branham must resurrect from the grave
to continue his Ministry that is unfulfilled, is idolatry. These heretics are looking
to the arms of flesh, thinking that all was in William Branham and God cannot
work through the church.
Secondly - The resurrection of the Old Testament Saints.
Ephesians 4: 8-10 - "Wherefore he saith, When
he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now
that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower
parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far
above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)"
Matthew 27:51-53 - "And, behold, the veil of
the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did
quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the
saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection,
and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."
Thirdly - The Bride of Jesus Christ. The first
resurrection.
1Thessalonians 4:16 - "For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first."
1Corinthians 15:52 - "In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed."
Revelation 20:6 - "Blessed and holy is he that
hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power,
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a
thousand years."
Fourthly - The Two Witnesses to the Jews. (Revelation 11: 7-12).
Fifthly -
Second Resurrection of just and unjust.
Daniel 12: 2 - "And many of them that sleep in
the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame
and everlasting contempt."
Revelation 20:12 - "And I saw the dead, small
and great, stand before God; and the books were opened and another book was
opened which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things
which were written in the books, according to their works."
This doctrine is not only erroneous and idolatrous
but also heretical and of the antichrist. This doctrine have overthrown the
faith of many here in Trinidad and in the USA where it originated even among
the great names of message believers who wrote books to prove that William
Branham will be resurrected from the grave. Projectors of this damnable heresy
are like Philetus and Hymenaeus. Philetus was a person condemned by Brother
Paul for error regarding the resurrection and Hymenaeus had fallen into many
errors and was excommunicated by Brother Paul. One of his errors was concerning
the resurrection.
The Lord never used the dead, he always used the
living. Notice that when Elijah the prophet died, he did not come back to
preach or to continue his ministry but the spirit that anointed him came upon
another man, -Elisha the prophet, who was alive. So to, the spirit of Elijah
fell on John the Baptist, a living person. Now after two thousand years at the
end of the Laodicean church age, Elijah the person that was dead did not rise
from the grave to fulfill Malachi 4:5&6 but the spirit that was upon him
anointed William Branham, a living person. When Elijah comes to the Jews he
would not be the resurrection of those Prophets, -Elijah, Elisha and John, nor
will it be Brother Branham, but he will be a man anointed by the Spirit of
Elijah which totals five comings of Elijah. If Brother Branham comes back from
the grave to continue his Ministry that will make it six comings of Elijah.
There is no prophecy of a sixth coming of Elijah, and all five comings are
perfectly recorded in Scripture, four comings are fulfilled and the fifth
coming is prophecy to be fulfilled (Revelation
11).
When the two witnesses to the Jews were martyred and resurrected by the Lord they ascended into heaven and did not return
to continue any kind of Ministry. None of the men anointed by the Spirit of
Elijah who died ever returned to
continue their Ministries in their physical resurrected bodies; nor will
Brother Branham come back to continue Christ's Ministry, but the Elijah Spirit
that rested upon him will rest upon a Jewish Prophet by the pre-ordination of
God. (Revelation
11)
With all love and respect to all elected Sons and
Daughters of God and Ministers of Christ, who are bewitched by this heresy, I
declare this doctrine Satanic, heretical, off the Word and Message of Malachi
4, and I call you to repentance. There is room at the Cross for you. I further
challenge the Message World, Ministers and intellectual giants to disprove
what I have written by the Word and Message of the Prophet. You are under sworn
obligation to prove me wrong or repent and also tell those under your Ministry
that this Exposition is of God. Amen!
We
will now go to the Second Doctrinal Division, documented as “Heretical Article
No. 37”.
(Heretical
Article No. 37)
"All is over: all was fulfilled in
Brother Branham and the Seals."
John 14:12 - "Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and
greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
Mark 16:15-20 - "And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they
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. So then after the Lord had
spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of
God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them,
and confirming the word with signs following”. Amen.
The Second Major Doctrinal Division states that, "All is over, all was fulfilled in Brother Branham, and the
Opening of the Seals." This
heresy is very subtle and filled with unbelief. I want to rehearse for a moment
the background of this heresy, to remind you how it came about, which was
marvelously brought out in the 'Introduction'.
When God sent Brother Branham, his
Ministry was in three phases; climbing higher in Revelation, power, signs and
wonders from a first, to a second, and then to the third phase, which Brother
Branham called the "Third Pull", or his "New Ministry." The
third phase of the Ministry had to do with; the seven thunders, the white horse
rider, the bride's revival, another outpouring of the holy ghost, the tent
ministry, latter rain, speak the work power, etc. This was not actually the
Ministry of the man [William Branham], but it was the end time Ministry of
Christ, that had its genesis in a man, and will be completed by Christ, by his
own plan and program, whether or not the man is here.
"Jesus' ministry... notice, when the Third
Pull of His Ministry come, the First was healing the sick, the Second was
rebuking their organisations... But His
Third Pull was when he preached to the lost that couldn't be saved no more...Preached to the souls in hell that did not accept
mercy, but were eternally separated from the Presence of God... Wonder if His ministry climbs out the same way in the
last days. "As the Father sent Me, so send I you. The works that I do
shall you also'" (Souls in Prison Now 63/11/10).
Everyone
lived in anticipation of this great Ministry, looking for a Tent to come on
the scene. Looking for another World shaking, more Worldwide Evangelism which
would accomplish far greater signs, wonders and miracles than that which was
demonstrated in his first commission and in the first two phases of the
Ministry, which would be as a result of Speak the Word Power coming into the
Church by a Super Anointing.
"I
believe that the church of the living God is moving into a sphere now that's
going to shake the whole world...
Oh, it's going to come to pass pretty soon. I'm looking for it to happen in
this meeting. I'm wanting it to happen now, that, that anointing will strike
the whole church of the living God, and she'll rise to her feet like a mighty
marching army. The sick will be healed by a word; the blind will see; the deaf will
hear; the dead will be raised up; and
the power of God will shake the world with the church of the living God.
We're in the process of it now. I believe it's soon coming to pass. I believe
it will be just exactly that way. I believe it's going to strike the church of
God soon, and it's going to start a
revival that'll shake the world. I believe it." (Speak To This
Mountain, San Jose, Ca. 59-1123)
Then suddenly, and in the midst of such
expectations, the Prophet went on to be with the Lord. Without this
understanding that this was not the man's Ministry, many intellectual, proud
and ambitious men and some deceived children of God, tried to figure out and
put their ideas of how this New Ministry would be fulfilled. As a result five
main streams of doctrines, which now divide the people that follow this
Message, flowed from America.
Out of these five main doctrinal
divisions, the only one that is Scriptural is the fifth, which will fulfill the
Third Pull Ministry, which is Christ coming with a Ministry of Angels to be
glorified in the Saints. (2Thessalonians 1:7-10)
By the help of God, I want to expose in
more detail, as heretical, unscriptural and contrary to the Bible and the
Message of the Hour, this second doctrinal division, which says, "All is over: all was fulfilled in Brother
Branham, there is no more power to come to the bride." This heresy
seeks to justify that Brother Branham fulfilled his New Ministry in its
entirety. Such conception explains away Bible promises of healings, miracles,
operation of the nine divers gifts, salvation, faith etc. The propagators of
this heresy do not speak out against such Scriptures, but are satisfied with
the dead condition of the Church and deny the promises of God, of the Church
doing the greater works of Christ (St. John 14:12).
Spiritualizing 'Greater Works' to mean
Revelations, Thunders, Trumpets, which they proclaim. This "All is over"
spirit and attitude is equivalent to unbelief which denies the promises of God
in a cunning and subtle way, like the Serpent in Eden, when he took away
the supernatural from first Eve, and gave here the natural. It produced death
then, and produces death now to sincere believers. As certain as the
unbelieving tongues of the ten spies brought back a lying report on the Promised
Land, lying preachers are explaining away the promises of God by spiritualizing
them. Such things Brother Branham never
attempted to do, because they were to be literally fulfilled, and he
desperately expected their fulfillment in that manner for decades. Like
Abraham, he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but Sarah did
have an interpretation of how to fulfill God's promise, which produced a wild
man, [Ishmael], who persecuted the child of promise, [Isaac]. It's the same
spirit under the Message, now
persecuting the elect who content for the faith of God's promises: a
literal tent, revival of the Word, signs and wonders, latter rain, outpouring
of the spirit, a super church, Joshua commissions, salvation to 300,000 Indians
in Calcutta, India, lost souls in Africa, Mexico, France and many other
countries of the World.
Galatians 4:28-29 - "Now we,
brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born
after the flesh persucuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so [it
is] now.
"Church
natural, Church spiritual... There is a Church natural that these women here
type, and there's a church spiritual also. So the natural church and the spiritual church cannot be heirs together. They're two
different, separate times, two different separate people, under two different
separate covenants. (Seed Not Heir With
The Shuck, Jeff, Ind. V-6, N-4, 65-0218)
TENT VISION
They
have spiritualized the Tent Vision of Brother Branham, which he expected in a
literal sense since the inception of his vision, in 1956, unto departure in
1965.
"I want to get my own tent, like
the Lord gave me a vision to, and I believe the time is just now at hand. And I want to see while I'm here, why we can't get the
tent. We'll rent the farm and put it
up... And then we'll start having our services like that, because that's
according to a vision from the Lord, that it's to be done that way."
(Ashamed Of Him 65-0711)
That was in July 1965, five months before the Prophet died. He was yet in
expectation for a literal tent. These
men assume that they have more revelation than the Prophet of God,
indicating, preaching and establishing that the vision is fulfilled spiritually,
and poor Brother Branham did not have that understanding, and looked for a
literal tent, literal people, literal healings, crutches, wheelchairs and
crowds of people for city blocks away. He treated the fulfillment of the vision
as earthly natural happenings. These
fanatics treat it as heavenly happenings, proclaiming that the tent is the
Cloud that appeared over Arizona in 1963, just before the Opening of the
Seals, or limited it to the Revealed Word, saying its a tent of flesh, [the
Bride]. If that was true God would have revealed that to Brother Branham, and
he would have established that. The proof that such revelation is Satanic and from the pit of Hell, is
that Brother Branham looked for a literal tent from 1963 to 1965. (This subject
was dealt with at length on Exposition of Damnable Heresies - Bars of
Interpretations - Book One as Heretical Article No:7). Let it be
known and established to these ten spies, saying that we cannot go over and
possess the Land, that they are not more
Spiritual than our Moses , Joshua and Caleb.
"Now,
let us stand like Joshua and Caleb as we see the Promised Land coming in sight.
It's nearing the time to be given. "Joshua"
in Hebrew means, "Savior" and represents the promised end time
leader to take the church over. Caleb
represents the true believer who stayed with Joshua. And when the time
come, God gave it to Joshua, who had stayed with Him by the Word, for He could
not trust others; He could trust him. So will it repeat." (Spoken Word is
the Original Seed, Jeff. Ind. V-3, N-2, 62-0318E)
These
men have exalted themselves above the Ministry of Christ, Brother Branham -
Elijah the Prophet, claiming to know more than God Himself; projecting the
Prophet as some dumb theologian who did not know what he was doing, saying or
expecting. They have no authority to
spiritualize the Tent, Super Church, Revival, White Horse, White Eagle, Latter Rain, Capstone and other
promises of God.
CAPSTONE
These
shameless fanatics took God out of their thoughts, to even spiritualize the
Headstone Christ, proclaiming that it is the Word that came by the Opening of
the Seals in 1963.
"When
the Capstone comes, the Holy Spirit cements it together; There's the baptism of
the Holy Spirit. That's why its so short today." (Blasphemous Names
62-1104)
"The
Headstone's yet to come." (Q&A, Jeff. Ind. 64-1207)
"We're
looking towards heaven, watching for
the coming of the Cap on the pyramid." (Leadership, Covina, Ca. 65-1207)
Again
Brother Branham did not realize that, but these wise fanatics caught the Revelation,
(so
they assume). But Brother Branham went on looking desperately for the Headstone
to come to the Church, which will produce a super church, as prophesied in 'Word to the Bride', (Church Ages, page
177). He died looking for it from the beginning of his Ministry unto
1965. God's elect is yet looking for it
today and any man, woman, boy or girl, prophet, priest or king, so-called son
of man, eighth messenger, five star general, white eagle, white horse or black
horse rider or Indian chief who believe
that the Capstone came to the Bride in 1963 or after that is deceived of the
Devil, and will miss the Rapture even like the foolish virgin who thought
she had the Headstone Oil of the Holy Ghost. There shall be weeping and wailing
and gnashing of teeth. I predict that
such people will turn back and kill these fanatics in the tribulation who
were the instruments of unbelief, sin and death, which caused them to miss the
Rapture.
JOSHUA COMMISSION
These intellectual giants, Goliaths of
the Message, establish that the Joshua
Commission was fulfilled by the Opening of the Seals and the revealing of the
Word, which is the Headstone now working in the Bride. The only thing is
that, this Joshua Commission is dead and powerless like the Preachers that
establish such heresies of "all is
over', and "all was in Brother Branham." They must admit that if all was in Brother Branham, there is nothing in
them. Joshua was not an unbeliever like these fanatics. He fulfilled the
vision and the uncompleted mission of Moses in a literal sense, and never
spiritualized the Ministry of Moses but literally fulfilled it. So will the
Holy Spirit, the Headstone, the Fullness, the Outpouring of the Holy Ghost,
like the Day of Pentecost, accomplish what was promised through the Message of
our Moses today. So don't get your big
head and broad mouth anointed of the Devil into God's business like the ten
spies or you will perish like them. The
true 'Joshua Spirit' will be proclaiming, together with Caleb, the little
Bride, that we are able to go up and take the land.
Brother Branham looked for the
fulfillment of the Joshua Commission after 1963 unto 1965. Like Moses, he died and never entered the
Promised Land, but the Holy Spirit in its Fullness will take the Church over. That is our Joshua today, who comes in the
form of the Capstone to produce a Super Church even like Israel who
conquered the Nations that were unbelievers like these "all is over"
fanatics. It was all over for the fanatics and for the Cities of 'Ai' and
'Jericho', except for the harlot Rahab by the covenant of the scarlet cord. Are
these giants more spiritual than Brother Branham, who makes Malachi 4 a fool?
Their revelation is totally contrary to his Message. He never indicated,
preached or established that these promises will be fulfilled in a spiritual,
unbelieving interpretation like they now try to bewitch people with, and are
very successful in many parts of the World, for this doctrine is most popular,
and accepted, it fits the Laodicean spirit and attitude of the masses, except
the elect who press into the Kingdom, (Luke 16:16). 'The Law and the
Prophets were until William Branham, since that time the Token is preached, and
men [not beast] presseth into the kingdom of God.'
BRIDE'S REVIVAL
It is inconceivable and alarming to God, His servants, His
elect, that such infidels will shamelessly proclaim that the Bride is in her
Seven Thunder Revival in such a deplorable state of adultery and fornication by
Ministers, passing on their spirits to Church members; out on the sport fields,
visiting the Oval, playing football, cricket, condoning immoral dressing,
mermaid type dresses wrapped around women's hips, transparent and floor length,
women ruling their husbands, preaching behind the curtains on Books, Magazines
and in bedrooms to their husbands, spirit like a mule, arguing Scriptures and
Quotations like men.
Message people are more Worldly today
than they were in the days of Brother Branham, and the years that followed.
More divisions, idolatry, fightings, compromising on doctrines, resurrection
doctrines, "all is over", seven messengers to open the Seven
Thunders, thousands of eight messengers, and some nine and ten messengers. This more fits a Sodom revival of
immorality. Yet these shameless preachers proclaim that it is a revival of the
Word. Which Word? All is over? All was in Brother Branham? Tent Vison fulfilled
in the Cloud? Capstone came in 1963? Word Revival without power, signs and wonders? A revival signifies
a move of God in power (Church Ages, page
70). The Gospel is not preached until it is backed up by signs and wonders
(1Thessalonians
1:5). So saith the Scripture, and so said William Branham.
Such fanatics cannot speak like the
Apostle Paul, who said that he came to the Church in the power and
demonstration of the Holy Spirit, yet
these blind guides claim to believe in divine healing, miracles, signs and
wonders, but the unbelief and the death in their devilish heresy, from the
deepest abbyss of Satan, limits God to a certain amount of miracles in
compromising portions as one drop of water from the whole ocean, a miracle
now and then, and have written, preached and explained away the greater works.
(St.John
14:12). Just as certain as all the dead churches of the Reformation
have explained away divine healing, saying that the days of miracles are passed
and it was the twelve Apostles only, these
fanatics don't say that the days of miracles are passed; their deception is more subtle, and has grown higher into
the realms of Satan, unbelief and death. They don't say that it was in the
twelve Apostles only, but say that the greater works was in Brother Branham
only, because he was an Apostle and Prophet, and the bride must be
contented with the least signs and wonders as possible. While they explain away
their lack of power to heal God' suffering children, by saying, "all was over in Brother Branham, if we
had him here you would not die, for only Malachi 4 was gifted to demonstrate
such mighty signs and wonders." Only a lying prophet with a lying spirit,
unbelief and idolatry, would proclaim such dead doctrine. The greater works
are promised to the believers (St. John 4:12), not limited to a
Prophet or an Apostle. Thus it was not limited to Brother Branham. He never
taught, indicated nor established any such doctrine, but said that the church
of God, the Body of Christ, must manifest the works of Jesus Christ or give an
account to God. (Church Ages, page 250)
These fanatics establish that the Church
must be contented in this dead powerless condition, because it's a Word
revival. No, it's a dogma revival! It’s
a heresy revival! It’s an 'all is over' revival! 'No more greater works'
revival! Are these fanatics telling the elected Bride that God has done
away with St. John 4:12? Brother Branham said, "Read St. John 14:12 and
see whether God will call you a believer." Therefore, they are
unbelievers!
"You
say, "I'm a believer Brother Branham. I sure am a believer". All
right, I'm going to see if Jesus would call you one, see if the Word of God
calls you one... Verily, verily, (absolutely, absolutely)... I say unto you, He
that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works
than these shall he do; because I go to the Father." (Spoken Word is the
Original Seed 62/03/18).
"Word
revival, all is over." These are the teachings that these deluded men are
calling Word, Revelation, Seven Thunders, Third Pull, Message and Word Revival.
Every Word Revival is backed up by signs and wonders because they both come
together. Jesus is in His first coming - Word and Power, Bride at Pentecost
- Word and Power. That is God's original pattern. Brother Branham restored
God's original pattern which was lost in the Dark Ages. He came both with Word
and Power, and established that the Bride will come in Word and Power in the
last days before the Rapture takes place.
"After
a short and powerful demonstration of the Spirit this little hunted and
persecuted group will go to be with Jesus." (Laodicean Church Age, 361-1)
Therefore this heresy is damnable, and
fit for the thrash cans. God's people are
not thrash cans, they are vessels of the Lord that hunger for the Word and
Power of God, which is predestined to them, and which they will have. Although
unbelief has heaped to the skies, and false anointed ones have covered the
earth, she will have a revival of power, signs and wonders by another
Outpouring of the Holy Spirit (the Headstone). The time will fail to tell of
the many promises of God that the antichrist and false anointed ones have spiritualized and explained away by the
anointing of the Mamba Snake at the Jordan, which the Revealed Word will
bind by true servants of God, lifting high the promises of God in the midst of
all the unbelief that is heaped to the skies. But, we will brief you on a few
other items.
LATTER RAIN
This heresy seeks to explain away the
Promised Latter Rain to the Bride, by spiritualizing it, making it the Word
that came at the Seals, and showers of Revelation, which is more correctly defined as showers of heresies
of: "all is over, all was in Brother Branham, false thunders, false
trumpets”, preached by these unbelieving fanatics. They were trying to
manufacture a Latter Rain in the days of Brother Branham, and now, to make an excuse
for their dead, powerless condition and infidelity, they reduced the great
Latter Rain to being the Word (Interpretation that they preach). It is not! It
is another Outpouring of the Holy Ghost like they received on the day of
Pentecost that will sweep the World and do the greater works of Christ.
"When
the rain falls on the seed, the life produces itself. When it fell on those
seed, then they haul themselves up in the upper room... All of a sudden there came
a sound from heaven as the waters begin to gush down. And it actually filled
all the house where they were setting. And the seeds begin to grow. It begin to
manifest itself, the Word of God being manifested." (Spoken Word is the
Original Seed, Jeff. 62-0318).
The Prophet has spoken. Any man who
speaks contrary to that is an antichrist and a false anointed one, though he
carries a Spoken Word Book in one hand and a cassette player in the other.
THIRD PULL
These fanatics limit the Third Pull to
being the Word only. This is another strategy of Satan, the false anointed ones
and the Mamba Snake of Unbelief, to explain away the Power of God coming to the
Church. William Branham never limited the Third Pull to being the Word and the
Opening of the Seals only. Neither did he limit the vindication of the Third
Pull by Speak the Word Power to himself only. What he did was only a temporal
manifestation, he said. But he looked for that same power to be manifested in
the fullness of its strength of the Church of God when the squeeze comes. Are
these heretics more spiritual than the immortal Elijah? They are treating him
as if he was confused on all these subjects and they have the right
understanding. No! It is unbelief and a self-exalted spirit at work, exalting themselves
above the Messenger of the Age.
SALVATION OF 300,000 AND OTHERS
How
will they spiritualize the 300,000 souls that are to be saved in India under
the Joshua Commission, and other souls in Japan, Africa and Mexico?
"And
you will hear of the meeting. Where it'll be, I believe it'll be in India... and I was at the Durban meeting. I seen it going away into history,
turning blue. I looked in front of me and there
was still more people, thousands, greater than the first crowd was there. I believe I will be at Durban again...
You'll hear through the Magazine: "Brother Branham had a meeting,"
(Somewhere in Orients, or down in India, I believe, or Africa, somewhere).
"Where three hundred thousand
people attended the meeting." (Thou Knowest All Things 52/07/16).
"We're
looking for the greatest religious meeting that's ever been in the history of
the World when we come to Japan. (Blind Bartimaeus 57/01/27).
"And
he said, "Well, why not go into Mexico?"
And I thought, "You know that's right. " Little dark face children,
looked like Indians. That's what the vision is. (What Is A Vision 56/04/08).
How are they going to spiritualize and
explain away the Salvation of these precious souls? They are not myths, they are the genuine elected children of God
and the Rapture cannot go without them.
John 6:37 - "All that the Father
giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast
out."
Its a selfish antichrist spirit assuming
that they can energize the Bride into translation faith for the changed body
and the Rapture by the preaching of their dogmas and dead heresies as boasted
by one of these fanatics from Canada while preaching in a convention in
Trinidad in the year 2000. As a
witness, I saw death and destruction proceeding out of a poisonous tongue and
fled for my life. I now alert elected children everywhere, “do not be
inoculated with such poisonous venom of the Mamba, for it is instant death”. This heresy is a Heresy of Heresies, and
controls the greater numbers that follow the Message Worldwide.
Matthew 7:13 - "Enter ye in at the
strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat."
This
heresy has made the promises of God, "the letter" and denies, "the
spirit", to fulfill the promises. It took away the supernatural from the
Church and gave it a natural, which is the dead letter of the Word, and it is
killing thousands Worldwide. This heresy and the heretics directly fulfill
2Timothy 3:5 - "Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof."
So-called Pentecost that has blasphemed
her way, preaches a better Gospel than that. This heresy has thrown down the
drain all that the Prophet labored to establish for thirty-five years. His very
mission was to turn our hearts back to the Pentecostal Fathers, where we would
have the same faith and manifest the same works as they did, and even greater.
If this heresy is not sheer unbelief, and an evil spirit at work through the
false anointed ones, tell me what is it?
FOUNDATION
OF HERESY - BLOOD OFF THE MERCY SEAT
This
heresy has its foundation and roots deeply embedded into the master of all
heresies around the Message. "All is over, all was in Brother Branham", are
just offshoots from a most damnable
doctrine from the pit of Hell and darkest abyss of Satan. Which is, by the
instruments of Satan and false anointed ones in the end time, they have removed the blood from off the
mercy seat, in their carnal imagination and perverted minds, since the Opening
of the Seals in 1963. A heresy and damnable doctrine which the Major Prophet, William Branham, forewarned the Church
concerning, when he saw that spirit arising, and showed them that their
unbelieving thoughts were actually based on their carnal understanding of the
Opening of the Seals, that mercy was over, and consequently, all is over. Though the Prophet lovingly corrected this,
false anointed ones, born unto this condemnation, crept into the Message (Jude
1:4) and propagated this doctrine up to this day, and have bewitched
thousands of souls throughout the World.
110s-Q-348
- "Brother Branham, some say mercy
is over and no one can be saved. Now, is this true? (I'm glad I got this
one). We watch the prayer lines, and it
seems some are still finding mercy. "Is mercy over?" Don't never
think that. See? Just keep right on doing everything you can until you're
taken away. See? "We notice in the prayer line some's finds mercy." Sure. Mercy's - the doors are open.
See? I think where you got this thought might lay between... where I think you got it, is about the
finishing of the Seven Church Ages and the Seven Seals being loosed. See?
The Seven Seals, its manifested what has took place. The seventh church age, we're at the end of the seventh church age.
When I say the end, that doesn't mean its this very hour, this very minute.
You remember, the Bible said, back in
the times of the Lord Jesus, Paul said, "For the time is at hand." Do
you realize how long that was in God's time? That was yesterday, My time,
its been two thousand years. See? So just keep on believing, keep on praying,
keep on... God's still got mercy open; just
keep flowing into it as fast as you can. God
will do the stopping when its time to stop. See? (Q&A, Jeff. Ind.
64-0830M)
The
Prophet has spoken. Believe his (God's) prophets, so shall ye prosper (2Chronicles 20:20). The Lion hath roared, who will not fear?
(Amos 3:8). And the Lion is
roaring on this dead doctrine today. Repent or perish! When Brother Branham spoke of the bloody Lamb arising from his seat to
take the Seven Seal Book, he spoke in the present tense as if it was happening
there in 1963. Of such quotations, we are fully aware, but have not applied a
carnal interpretation to such dramatic preaching of the Prophet, which speaks
of the Lamb in future, prior to the Rapture, rising from His mercy seat to take
the Book of Redemption and claim his purchased possession.
"He's in the work now, doing the work of
redemption. But someday he walks from the sanctuary to take up the Book of
Redemption that He's purchased with his own Blood. Then the hour's over. He comes forth then to claim what He has
redeemed. (Conferences, Tucson As. 63-0608 - E-75)
This quotation is months after the
Opening of the Seals. Preachers, not called of God, borned again nor sealed of
God, bypassed all the written promises of God, of Salvation for the rest of the
Gentile Bride by the blood, healings, Salvation of the Jews, and all the
promises of God to be fulfilled, which can only be accomplished by the Blood of
Jesus Christ which establishes the New Covenant and hang their souls' Salvation
upon a few isolated quotations in
the Breach (Seals Book, pgs. 99, 103-105) and a few suggestions in "Souls
In Prison Now."
If
there was any spirituality about these people, they would heed the correction
of the Prophet when he answered the question on the subject "Is mercy
over?" But these were vain in
their imaginations and their foolish hearts were darkened because they thought
that they were smarter than the Prophet. Thus they sit in darkness because
their deeds are evil, (John 3:19-20 - "And this is the condemnation, that
light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, because
their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."), and they
would not come to this light, now proclaimed by humble servants of God, because
they are great intellectuals, to high and mighty to respect the Word that comes
in this little portion from the third world people, and even more abominable to
them, the underprivileged. We don't expect those who have rejected the council
of Malachi 4, and who assume themselves to be wiser than the Major Prophet,
William Branham, to accept the truth, unless their names are on the Lamb's Book
of Life.
Yet
another foundation that this damnable heresy rest on is a misconception of
1Corinthians 13, implying that "since the Perfect Word came at the
Opening of the Seals, then that which is in part, (gifts, miracles and so
forth) have been done away with from the Church of God." Brother Branham never believed nor
established such dogma and heresy. The quotation that these 'Aarons' use,
quoting our Moses without understanding is as follows:-
"1Corinthians 13 says this: "When
that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away
with." So all these things of
jumping up and down like a kid, trying to talk in tongues, and all these
other things, when that which is perfect... And we do have today, by God's
help, the perfect interpretation of the Word with Divine vindication. Then that
which is in part is done away with.” (Q&A, Jeff. Ind. 64-0823E)
How much more blind can these heretics
and perverters get? If this Scripture in 1Corinthians 13, and this quotation is
saying what this heresy is trying to project, then that would mean that all the
gifts of healing, signs, wonders and miracles that Brother Branham manifested
before the Seals were to be done away with. He was to put them away. On the
contrary, after the Opening of the Seals and up until the time of his death, we
seen him still healing the sick, casting out Devils, discerning the thoughts of
the heart, just the same as he did before the Seals. He continued to work the
works of Christ, and condemned all that limited the Power of God to a day gone
by. Brother Branham was speaking about
so-called Pentecostals who were operating gifts of tongues and so forth outside
of Scriptural order. Apostle Paul was doing the same thing in 1Corinthians
13, trying to put in place gifts that were being operated outside of Scriptural
order. That was gifts in operation without the giver of gifts. But when the
perfect Word comes, then all that was to be done away with.
Notice, Paul was speaking of having
these gifts without charity. Brother Branham said that charity is the true
Baptism of the Holy Ghost. And the Scripture said that charity never faileth.
The Apostles, including Judas, were at one time operating the gifts (as
so-called Pentecost) without charity (the true Baptism of the Holy Ghost), and
without charity the gifts were failing (they could not heal the epileptic
child), but when they went up to Pentecost and received the true Baptism of the
Holy Ghost, they never had that problem any more. That is the correct
understanding. It is not saying that the Church will no longer manifest the
Power of God, neither is it supporting this dead and damnable heresy that these
formal fanatics use as an excuse for their dead and powerless condition. That
would make Jesus Christ the same yesterday in the Apostles and Brother Branham,
but not the same today in the Bride of Christ.
There
are no Scriptures in the entire Bible that support such teachings. Not one! It
breaks God's unchanging pattern of carrying the Gospel (Mark 16). The Gospel was
confirmed by mighty signs and wonders following. A Book of Acts
was written which the World have not gotten over after two thousand years. If
they had that much of the Word back there and God vindicated it in such a
mighty way, then if we have the greatest
Word in six thousand years (the Book that was sealed up from the foundation
of the World), then it must have the
greatest vindication.
"At
the Opening of the Seven Seals, Revelations 10, the full Word is to be borned
into manifestation again and vindicated
by the Spirit of God in the full strength, as It was when It was here on
earth, manifested in the same way, doing the same things that It did when It
was here on earth. Amen. Hebrews 13:8 said Jesus
Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Seed Not Heir 65-0218).
Of
the four doctrinal divisions, this is the deadliest. This is the Mamba Snake in
person that is trying to stop the Church from going over and take what is
promised to her. If it hits you it is death. The other three divisions left
the people looking for something, but this one is not looking for anything. It
has totally erased, denied and explained away the promises of God. I am not
saying that the other three are right. I am just saying that comparing heresy
to heresy, this is the worst. But all are wrong.
I
want to say that this has been exposed as erroneous, without any foundation to stand
in the Scripture and the Message of the Hour, and all that follow it are
falsely lead. Therefore we as the Church of the Living God and Believers of the
end time Message, are to hold fast to all the promises of God that were made to
us by the Scriptures and the Messenger, and to look for their fulfillment
in a literal sense, and not a spiritual
sense of the dead letter of the Word, as this heresy makes it. We therefore
look for another Outpouring of the Holy Ghost, dynamic power, signs, wonders
and speak the word power to come to the Church of the Living God that would
surpass Pentecost, as prophesied to us, in order to fulfill and complete the
New Ministry of Christ in the end time, and do the greater works of Christ. As
time never changed the promise that was made by God to Abraham, so too, time
does not alter the promises made by God through Brother Branham, his Message,
and the Scriptures, to the royal seed of Abraham. The elect will not stagger at
the promises of God.
The
World will never receive such a dead Gospel as this heresy projects. They ran out
Billy Graham from India, for the people wanted to see someone who could
demonstrate the Power of God. When Brother Branham raised the dead boy in
Finland, those communistic soldiers that don't believe in God said,
"Russia will receive a God like that." If Russia would not receive a
God without miracles, and these formal fanatics did, then it is sure evidence
of how low they have fallen. And if communism would not receive such, neither
will we. I therefore call on the
propagators of this damnable heresy, and all that blindly follow, to repent and
get back in step with the Word while there is hope, and while the Spirit of God
is calling through these literature, or choose to face the consequences.
"And
any people that is truly the Body of Jesus Christ (The True Church) will
manifest the same works 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 manifestations is going to have to
account to God.”(Church Age Book,
Cpt. 7)
As a reader, maybe you are not in the least guilty of these Expositions. Thank you for your support of faith and knowledge of the Word of God, or trusting that the same attitude can be maintained in the Third Doctrinal Division which we will now consider.
(Heretical Article No.38)
"Joseph Branham is now in his prophetic office and ministry, fulfilling all promises that were made to Brother Branham, which were not fulfilled by his ministry.”
I wish to
inform all, especially Message Believers, that Joseph Branham did not endorse
this heresy, and he is not responsible for this doctrine that involves his
name, which will be exposed in the following article as heretical. Therefore the exposition of
this heresy is not in any form to correct or discipline our humble brother, nor
to indicate in the least to others that he is guilty of assuming those offices
named out in the following article, nor that he has authorized Preachers or
Message Believers to teach such doctrine, but on the contrary, I seek to defend
his innocence in this unscriptural matter, which he publicly and personally
denounced in various ways. A letter
written to me and Bethel Church, dated December 7th, 2000 states
that he did not endorse such doctrine. Though this letter was read before
our affiliate Churches and over a thousand believers, I would not duplicate his
letter on this article since he did not instruct me to do so. I clearly
understand his position as the son of Elijah the Prophet, standing between
Believers, doctrines, Churches and people of all Nations, without any direct
affiliation to Churches, groups or publications, except the Spoken Word
Publication etc., and the Word.
This position we, as Ministers and Congregations
respect and pledge our support. We stand in defense of him, his father and
Christ's Message sent to us.
The article that you are about to read demonstrates
such loyalty in no uncertain manner. We do not have Brother Joseph's
responsibility, thus we confess that we
have taken side with the Revelation of the Message of Malachi 4 and with the
little flock Worldwide who contend for the faith of another outpouring of the
Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost, in its fullness. (Church Ages, pages
67-68, 377-379). And have taken sides against
all unbelief and heresies injected into the Message, especially that which denies the Promise of the hour, the
Capstone, the fullness of God, which will unite all the elect out of the
mixed multitude for the rapture.
On the 17th December 1999 a precious and
humble Minister Brother, having recently arrived from the USA, came with the
doctrine that Brother Joseph Branham is in his Prophetic office now. He claimed to have been united on this
doctrine with a Minister from New York and another from Dakota USA. He was
invited to prove his
doctrine in the Bible and by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This invitation came
from Brother Dalton Bruce, an able
Minister of Righteousness and the Gospel of Jesus Christ as preached by Brother
William Branham, God's Servant and Prophet. He is an example of the Gospel of
Christ. He lives and practices the Holiness Message that he preaches with
boldness and without compromising. Thousands of people received the Holy Ghost
under his Ministry since he started to preach around 1967 when he was 'called'
by the audible voice of God.
The
visiting Minister took the Pulpit and spoke for about one hour and a half concerning
this doctrine that Joseph is in his Prophetic office now. His supports were as follows: At the death
of Brother Branham, Joseph, who was then a boy, was heard saying "my
father, my father, the chariots of fire and the horsemen thereof." He showed
a picture (which is now in the possession of Brother Bruce) of Brother Joseph
standing near a van with what was supposedly a Pillar of Cloud by the vehicle.
He claimed also to have had a letter from Joseph which he did not produce and
which we had our doubts of its authenticity. He presented to us, Ministers and
Congregation, that Joseph is now in his prophetic office of Son of Man, the
White Eagle, Elisha that followed our Elijah; having received a double portion
of the Spirit, discerning the thoughts of the heart, the Joshua Commission, the
Word that Brother Branham foreran, Revelation 10:1, the one to bring the Seven
Thunders and its Revival to the Bride. Thus he convincingly tried to feed us.
After speaking, he was opposed in love, wisdom and understanding by the Pastor, Brother Bruce, who exposed the errors on this doctrine. The Brother acknowledged his wrong and repented. He passed away about three months later. We honestly believe that he has gone on to be with the Lord. We acknowledge him as a Brother. He displayed a wonderful attitude, evident by his repentance, when corrected.
PASTOR INTRODUCES VISITING MINISTER, MAKES OPENING REMARKS AND INVITES
HIM TO THE PULPIT
I will brief you a little on the purpose
of our gathering. We have in our midst tonight, a visiting Minister Brother who came by invitation. He wants to speak to us on the
subject of: ‘Brother Joseph is in his Prophetic office’, and we want to
give him the liberty to do so. The scripture says to prove all things and hold
fast to that which is good. If we as
Brothers and Sisters are afraid to hear
a man speak whatever he has to say, it goes to show that we don't know
where we are standing. The subject in itself,
he will be speaking on, is a subject that I, and some of the other Ministering
Brothers and others that are assembled are interested in; a very important
subject. The subject will be on Joseph Branham and his prophetic office. You,
as well as those who are not here tonight, are acquainted with the quotations of Brother Branham concerning
Brother Joseph Branham. Just to brief you: He was a promised son to Brother Branham. We could call it a supernatural birth, and Brother Branham prophesied
at his dedication that, "thou art a
prophet." At a tender age he saw visions.
Brother Branham greatly desired him to
take his place as a prophet, use his gift
that was in his bosom and to continue
his ministry. Also, he desired to
train his son, Joseph Branham, personally for that prophetic office. Now we
are not strangers to this. We believe those things. We as believers of Brother Branham's Message look forward for the Lord to use brother Joseph in his own time and in
a scriptural manner.
In times past, we have not tried to put an interpretation to what Brother Branham
stated about his son and his prophetic calling. As Brother Branham himself was
silent about it and did not give Scriptures on tape or otherwise, but greatly
desired to see his son Joseph used of the Lord. We believe that God will grant the Prophet his desire. We are prepared as Ministers and Believers
of this Church, not to be jealous of our beloved Brother Joseph Branham or any
person whom the Lord will use now or in the future for his glory.
So news reached me by Brethren that Brother Joseph Branham is to fulfill certain Scriptures and is now coming into his Prophetic Ministry. Now I am not acquainted with these things. We want to know more. Therefore we are gathered to hear one who represents this new understanding. We will honor respect and hold fast to God's Word. We trust that we will be free to ask questions on the subject after he speaks to us. I met this Brother along with another Brother a few years ago, and we had wonderful communications. I also met him on another occasion. Also I overheard that there are others that have this new understanding concerning Brother Joseph Branham. One of the Brothers is from North Dakota USA. Another Brother whom I know very well, to whom I was instrumental in helping towards the message of Brother Branham way back in the seventies. There is another Brother from San Fernando, Trinidad, whom I do not know. I guess in time, we will like to meet these brothers.
Here we are tonight to hear our brother on the subject of Brother Joseph Branham's Prophetic Ministry. Let us sit, listen, and give our Brother a free chance to speak. We, as is our custom here and through respect and decency, if we do have a question, it is not to be asked during the time that somebody is occupying the Pulpit, but afterwards. I believe we will be free to do so. I want our Brother to understand that whatever questions will be asked is not in the sense to contradict him, but in order to inquire and to have a better understanding of what we are going to hear because we only know so much about what Brother Branham said concerning Brother Joseph Branham. In all these years, looking forward for him to come forward in some kind of ministry, we have never heard anybody expounded on this subject. I myself have never ventured to expound on this subject for I cannot speak something that I do not know about. Having heard about these Brethren by way of other Brethren, I then told some of the Brothers that I am willing to hear this Brother. That is the attitude that we come with tonight-an attitude to hear what we don't know about. At this time we will turn the Pulpit over to our visiting Minister Brother. I understand that he was in the United States for some time, and he will tell you about that better. May the Lord bless your heart. Come forward Brother.
The
visiting Minister Brother takes the Pulpit and spoke for about an hour and
thirty minutes on how he had been in the United States for about two
years, functioning as an Assistant
Pastor in New York; and how he came to this new Revelation and expounded the
same Revelation on Joseph's Ministry. I quote him as he convincingly tried to
feed us the new Revelation.
QUOTE VISITING MINISTER: “This picture here, I will pass
it so you could look at it, this is the Pillar of Cloud come down over the
Brother. He and three other brothers, they were going to hunt and the pillar of
cloud come down and when the brother took
the picture it was over Brother Joseph alone.”
"He (Brother Branham) see himself as Elijah, and because he see
himself as Elijah, he was looking for
that boy, the same boy he dedicated, and he saw him as Elisha, and he said, "I hope when I cross Jordan, he will
say, 'My Father, My Father.' When Brother Branham passed
away, the inspiration come on the boy and he cried out in Brother Evans room,
Brother Evans heard him, 'My Father, My Father the chariots of Israel and the
horses thereof.' The boy he didn't even know himself what he was doing, but the
Spirit, because Brother Branham crossed the Jordan.." "We are
duplicating, the prophet said, we (William Branham and his son), we are duplicating Elijah and Elisha down here.
I am saying so you'll get it plain.”
"Redemption
has two parts. Redemption is coming out and going into. Brother
Branham said Moses bring them out and Joshua
carried them in. John the Baptist called them out and Jesus take them in.
to the gentiles, Brother Branham called them out but somebody else have to take
them in. if it's the Holy Spirit, it has to be the Holy spirit in a vessel.”
"Brother Branham was our Moses,
Brother Branham was our Elijah. So if Brother Branham was our Moses and he said
the Lord will raise up a prophet like unto me and him shall you hear; Joshua
fulfilled too, then Jesus came and fulfill that too. Amen? Then Brother Joseph
in the last days here, he have to fulfill that too. And people now, they said,
"We have found that prophet that Moses spoke about." I come to tell you tonight, I found that prophet that William Branham
spoke about. "Our Moses".
He said, after I am gone God will raise up a prophet like unto me and him shall
you hear, and any man that don't hear that prophet he will be cut off. Let me
tell you something, there ain't no revelation besides this you know. Any other church that don't have the
revelation is dead like a door nail.”
"He say, my mission, I
believe, to the earth is what? Is to forerun
the coming Word which is Christ and
Christ, in Him. He ain't say, Christ in me, Christ in him has the
millennium and everything right there because He is the Word. Now how many
believe Jesus was the Word of God? He was speaking there as John the
Baptist. Brother Branham said I come to forerun the coming Word and the Word, in
Him have the millennium. He will take us into the millennium. He said on Seven
Seals page 324, he said Joseph is the eagle. He said have you noticed the last
beast is the eagle, and Joseph is the
eagle. He said he will take us straight into the millennium.”
"The
same brother in America told me, he said, "A revival never took place with
a dead prophet yet." Anytime God sends a messenger he had to be alive. And
the Bride hasn't had a revival yet and God promised it, but a dead prophet
cannot bring a revival, it will have to be a living Prophet.”
"He said, "It may be the
time, it may be the hour that this great person we are expecting to rise on the
scene shall rise on the scene. He said, "Because there won't be two of us
here at the same time." the Prophet said, "I will decrease and he
will increase." Christ ain't coming
on this earth, only when He comes back to the Israelites and He walk on the
earth. But coming to the gentiles, don't look for him on the earth. If you do
look for Him, look for Him in your pastor, look for Him in your brother, look
for Him in your sister, look for Him in
Brother Joseph, don't look for him to appear in the sky.”
"On the wings of a snow white
dove", the Prophet said ,"The next message will come forth by the
White Eagle." We know what an eagle is. A eagle is a prophet.
"I'll
stop there. I don't want to give you too much because you might choke. I am
sorry to take so much time. As a minister sometime you think I have nothing to
say, "when you come you have so much to say."
PASTOR EXAMINES HERESY
Pastor: We thank our Brother for his
contribution. We will just go over a few little things to be certain that we
understand what was said. I don't want to misquote him. So while he is here if I misunderstood him then he
could probably raise his hand or something like that and clarify himself. So
first of all, the Pillar of Cloud over
Brother Joseph Branham on the back of a van, do you know where and how long
ago was that taken Brother?
Visiting
Minister: They were going on a hunting trip in North
Dakota.
Pastor's
Question: Right. And you said there were two or three persons
otherwise?
Visiting
Minister: There was four of them. Brother Branham's brother
(Doc), his son and Brother Billy Paul
Pastor's Question: Is Brother
Joseph aware of this Supernatural picture, or does he recognize that as a
Supernatural picture that was taken?
Visiting
Minister: Yeah, well at least if somebody had taken a picture
of you while you were preaching and they saw a Pillar of Fire or a Cloud, they
are going to bring it to you and let you know.
Pastor's Question: Yes, but do we have the information as to whether or
not this picture with the Cloud was sanctioned by Brother Joseph Branham?
Visiting
minister brother: No, I can't say that it was sanctioned.
Pastor's Question: So we are not sure that Brother Joseph sanctioned
this picture or if it was sent for any kind of a test like the one with the
Pillar of Fire which was tested by the 'FBI Fingerprint Expert' George J. Lacy,
and then documented as the only Supernatural being ever photographed in the
history of the World? Then we do not have that kind of a proof for this
picture?
Visiting
minister brother: What I could do, I could write Brother
Joseph and find out.
Pastor's Question: Right. So then we are short on information on the
picture?
Visiting
minister: That's correct.
Pastor's Question: So you would want to write Brother Joseph and ask him
that?
Visiting
minister: Yes, personally I will ask him that.
Pastor's Statement: Right. So
therefore under these conditions we wait before we speak. Prove all things; hold fast to that which is good, because we have
insufficient information. So those that are gathered here tonight should not go
about to confirm that to anybody on the outside, although we believe it by what
we see. So then we'll hold on that. And
then, what is the name and date of the magazine Brother?
Visiting
minister: . Catch
the vision., published 1997.
Pastor's
Question: So it was Brother Joseph and they who put out that
magazine?
Visiting
minister: Yes.
Pastor's Question: And what he said there is that he believes
everything that the Prophet of God said about him but he would not write more
than what the Prophet has spoken?
Visiting
Minister: Neither will he take out anything.
Pastor's Statement: Right. So that is our stand to a great extent, and
that is what I was trying to say in my early remarks, that we believe just what
the Prophet of God said and just as it was said, but we would not put an
interpretation to it.
I
am just going through these things to make sure that we understand our Brother.
Now we firmly believe here that Joseph
is a Prophet because Brother Branham said that he is a Prophet, and I don't
think that needs any interpretation. If a man is a Prophet then he's a
Prophet, and we believe that.
So
we understand here, from several quotations that the Brother made, that Joseph
is to receive a double portion. So a couple of these quotations I heard them
before but did not have it on my file. So that was new to us and we want to
thank you for that. So, Brother Joseph is to get a double portion. And this is
new information to us, that when Brother Joseph's daddy died, Brother Evans
heard him crying and saying, "My father, my father, the chariots of
fire." Was it Joseph himself, little Joseph?
Visiting
minister: Yes.
Pastor's Question: Right. And who was that Brother that heard him?
Visiting minister: Evans.
Pastor's Question: Brother Evans heard him? Right. But did we check
with Brother Joseph to find out how true that is?
Visiting
minister: What happen, I never really questioned it in
that way, but since that you asked these questions, I will write to him and find out.
Pastor's Statement: Yes. So therefore we have insufficient information,
and we'll only say that we have a 'hear say' on something like that. Now those
things are very important. Before we could accept something it must have
sufficient evidence, sufficient eyewitness, sufficient scriptural facts that
support these things.
Pastor's Question: Did I understand
correctly there that Joseph is to be a Prophet like unto Moses?
Visiting
minister: That's right.
Pastor: And it carries the same weight like when Jesus came, which is,
.whosoever shall not hear that Prophet shall be cut off.. So I trust that I
understand right? And then the world hates Joseph, and the preachers in America
hate Joseph on account of that? Now we
could say that we love Brother
Joseph Branham, (congregation says, Amen), and whatever God has for that boy
may the Lord grant him, and as long as it could be backed up by the Scriptures
we are willing to receive it (congregation says, Amen).
I noticed that you mentioned thunders, but did not go on very much to elaborate, probably,
as you said you did not want to choke
us? But then, I would suggest here from the nature of your preaching that
you left it to be caught, that Joseph
would be bringing the Seven Thunders to the Bride? Therefore all of these
Thunders people around the country are guessing at it? That is what I am
picking up from your message, and I
don't think I'm choked. If that is to be, well then if God ordained it we
want it.
Then we had a presentation here of
Joseph as Elisha; Brother Branham was Elijah and Joseph is Elisha. And then we had a presentation to us here that
Brother Branham was Moses and Joseph is
to carry on the Joshua ministry. That was told Brother Branham on many
occasions, maybe you did not have time to quote it. The Lord called the
attention of Brother Branham to Joshua 1, many times, and told him about that
Ministry. So we heard here tonight that Joseph is to be Elisha and Joseph is to
be Joshua when we are speaking of Moses.
Visiting
minister: Amen.
Pastor's Question: So I understood you right on that?
Visiting
minister: Amen
Pastor: Right. And then we understood the quotation there that Joseph builds the Temple? That is taken
from "Works Is Faith Expressed." Well that quotation I had. And this
one was new to me over here, where Brother Branham prayed that he leave his
Spirit upon his boy. That was from "Conference" I believe you said?
You have the quotations on those
papers there? Right, so you would be
leaving that with us. And this one was very nice here: "Take my
place" and "All that God gave me may he give it to Joseph."
Visiting Minister: Amen.
Pastor's Question: Right. And then we understood here that Joseph
discerned something in a hotel, and then he discerned the thoughts of certain
people while fishing? Do you know how recent this was Brother?
Visiting
Minister: Somewhere around 1998.
Pastor: 1998, quite recent? And then
we learn here that he prayed for somebody with cancer and they were healed? And
then "Spoken Word is the Original Seed", was quoted, that Brother
Branham was to forerun the coming Word and John was not the light. Then in my
understanding, Joseph was to play out that mysterious part. That is what I
understand, that Joseph is to play out
that part and bring that light in the end time here. And then, we need a living
Prophet for revival?
Visiting
Minister: Yes.
Pastor's Question: Right. So then the thunder revival of page 253 of
the Seven Seals that Brother Branham spoke about, that the Bride has never had
a revival but she needs one, then in my understanding I could connect what the
Brother is saying there that Joseph is
to bring this thunder revival? Am I right or wrong?
Visiting
Minister: Well, I believe that
Pastor's Question: All right, so I hope I am understanding right? So he
is to bring this thunder revival, and then other quotations were made, and then
we come right down to the Seven Seals where the quotation that we are very
familiar with, of Brother Branham laying a foundation for another, he would
decrease but this next person will increase? And then we are familiar with this
other quotation from "On the wings of a snow White dove" , that the next message comes forth by the White
Eagle, and Dove leading the Eagle. All right. So the last quotation there from,
"True Sign Overlooked", that Joseph will take the church in the
fourth stage and Pharaoh don't know Joseph. So now that is good. We appreciate what you had to say, and some
of the Brothers might have a question. I have a few questions here that I
wanted some information on. And as I said, it's not a matter of
contradicting, but for additional information.
Now we have no questions on what the
Prophet of God stated in his Message concerning Joseph. So whatever question is
directed, it is not in any way questioning what Brother Branham said, as far as
a next man is coming, as far as Joseph being a Prophet, as far as a revival is
coming and all those other things that you quoted. The Prophet is right at all
times.
We
are a people here, who for years believe that Joseph is a Prophet. And we
waited all this time, looking, trusting and hoping to see where that fits
exactly in the Word of God.
Now, I noticed that in Brother Branham's
statements of Joseph being a Prophet that he never pinned down the Ministry of
Joseph Branham in the Scripture. Every doctrine that comes up, and whatever we
are to receive as believers, must have its foundation in the Scripture; more so
in Prophetic Scriptures; not just a type. Any man could rise up and type,
as we have them all around, type out Joseph or type out Elisha, or type out
Christ and all these other things and have a doctrine. But I noticed that when
God sent us a Prophet today, he had a Scripture that he pointed to, and then
that Scripture was established, and not only one Scripture but many-a chain of
Scriptures identifying that office. I also noticed that when God sent John
the Baptist, he was able to point to the Scripture, "What sayest of thyself? I
am the voice of one crying in the wilderness." And when they came
to Jesus, there were foundational Scriptures that identified the Messiah in the
Bible.
Pastor’s Question: Now what I am asking and want to get
clear, is seeing that Brother Branham never pinned down this Ministry of Joseph
in the Scriptures, and identified this Ministry of Joseph in Scriptures, then I
am asking who did it? and is there such Scriptural foundation? and if there is
a Scriptural foundation for the Ministry of Joseph, then I want to know who put
those Scriptures together and by what authority did they put these Scriptures
together?
So
I do not know if our Brother could help us in that respect, or he needs to find
out more and have us in a second meeting or whatever? And this question is not
actually to embarrass him in any way, but this thing is life and death, because
whosoever rejects this shall be cut off from amongst the people.
So now we are simply asking our first
question which is: Since Brother Branham never pinned down the Prophetic
Ministry of Joseph in Scripture and showed us on tapes the connection of these
Scriptures as pertaining to Joseph's Ministry, then I am asking for the
foundational Scriptures which identify the Ministry of Joseph? Along with that,
I am asking who put those Scriptures together? Is it a Brother in the United
States that had that Revelation come to him first, or did Joseph himself do
that? So then we will give the
Brother a chance to come up an answer that. Come Brother.
VISITING MINISTER RE-ENTERS THE PULPIT
Brother Dalton is a very serious man you
know, and I love serious people, because as he said a while ago that this is
between life and death, and preaching is
not just making things sound nice, but you have to back it up from Genesis to
Revelation. You must be able to prove it in the Scriptures. The Prophet
said, "Any man that claims to have
a revelation, it must run from Genesis to Revelation." So you can get
revelation, but if you get a revelation it must run from Genesis to Revelation.
He said another time, "If the vision is scriptural, it must be identified
by the scripture or a continuation of the scripture", because he said,
"Every Scripture has a compound meaning and history must repeat
itself." If Brother Branham said that Joseph will continue, I don't think
I quote that quote tonight, there are other quotes that I didn't walk with
tonight where he said that Joseph will
continue in this same message, not another message, but continue, which
means take it a little further. He said,
"Because we must go a step further, in "There is a man here
that can turn on the light", "we must go a step further", and if
he said that.
Now when Brother Branham come he identified
himself in the scriptures. John the Baptist identified himself in the
Scriptures. Even Jesus said, .This day is this Scripture fulfilled., He
identified himself in the Scripture. Now
Brother Joseph is not really identifying himself in the Scripture. All we
are saying is I know when Messiah come He will do these things. The woman at
the well was taught by her priest or whoever it was, "Messiah is going to
come. Watch out for when the Messiah comes, we are looking for Him." And
when Jesus met her and begin to speak to her, she said, "I know when
Messiah comes, He will tell us all these things." And Jesus replied to her that, "I that
speak to you right now, I am He." So Jesus identified himself in the
Scriptures. What Brother Branham said,
"If the vision is Scriptural it must be identified in the Scripture or a
continuation of the Scripture." Brother Joseph will have to identify
himself in Revelation 10:7. Brother Joseph will have to identify himself in
Malachi 4, because Malachi 4, although it says, "But in the days of the
voice of the Seventh angel when he, (singular, masculine), when he shall begin
to sound, all the mysteries of God should be revealed." When coming to the
Seventh Seal, Brother Branham said, last page in Seventh Seal, "I do not
know what it is, Jesus Himself do not know what it is, the angels in heaven
do not know what it is, only God alone knows." He said, "I does not
know. It make a cycle and it gone so. It unfold into something else. It passed
in an unknown language. I does not know." And if I say I does not know, I
will say I does not know, and any man say he know, he is wrong. Seventh Seal
page 521, 522, 523, 524; you could read it for yourself. When Brother Joseph comes on the scene, these are the Scriptures he
will have to identify himself with: Malachi 4, Revelation 10:7, Luke 17:30,
John 14:12 . "Greater works than these", the Scripture I read a
while ago, Deuteronomy 18:18. Even the very Scripture in Revelation 22:9,
Brother Branham said, "The people came and bowed down to that
prophet." You believe that Brother Branham said that? The people bowed
down to that Prophet and the Prophet told them, "see that thou doest it
not, I am only of thy brethren the Prophet, do not bow down to me." In the Old Testament all Joseph brethren came,
and God worked it out in such a way that they had to bow down. They didn't want
to do it. They cursed, they swear, "Oh we'll never." The father called him and roughed him up,
said, "you want to tell us, your mother, your father and all your brethren
will bow down to you. He said God showed me that." God made it possible and bring them to
Egypt. They were starving to death. They come crawling on their knees. They
bowed, "Joseph, Joseph, help us we need food." These things got
to repeat the Prophet said.
When
the Prophet come on the scene he identified himself in the Scripture and he
prophesied about somebody else's part. He does not and he cannot identify the
next man's part. When the man comes into office, he takes the Scriptures and
identifies himself in the Scriptures. But he himself cannot identify and say,
well, Luther came and identified himself and say well Wesley's part will be
this, or this part will be that. When Brother Branham came, he took his part
and identified himself in his part. He said
when Joseph comes, or Elisha comes, he will continue in this Message. So he
will have to continue in the same Scriptures. Now Brother Joseph didn't tell us
that, but by reading the Bible we got revelation for ourselves. If you have
a revelation of something, God will have to reveal it from Genesis to
Revelation how it's going to be. So, I do hope this answers your question.
PASTOR RE-ENTERS PULPIT
Pastor: Right. If I understand our
Brother correctly, is that this is not yet identified in Scripture, but Joseph
is to do that when he comes. So then we are hearing something that is not
identified in Scriptures as yet, and you present unto us something that is not
identified in Scripture. Then we have no foundation to stand on. I am not saying that what you said is
not right; these are the Prophet's words. But then, I am looking as a spiritual
leader to brethren, so that I would accept this tonight. Now I could accept
this on the witnessing of the Spirit, as in time past we accept Brother Joseph
as a Prophet.
Now for me as a spiritual leader to
stand up and present to my congregation that Joseph is in a Prophetic Ministry
presently, my congregation will ask me
the same question, "upon what scriptural foundation do you base your
message?" I will have to tell them. Then if I say, okay, Revelation 10:1,
1 Thessalonians 4:16, and the various other Scriptures that I would quote, the
next thing that they would ask me is that, where did Brother Branham outline
that? And then I would say that Brother Branham did not outline those
Scriptures identifying Joseph's ministry, but Joseph will have to do that when
he comes. Now then, where does that put me and where does that put the
congregation. Then I will have to turn around and tell them that you've got to
accept this without a scriptural foundation until Joseph comes.
Now
notice when the woman at the well of Samaria, was looking for the Messiah,
there was a scriptural foundation that all the prophets had preached from
Genesis straight up to Malachi, there
was a scriptural foundation and she knew exactly what the Messiah would do when
he comes. She did not only know what the Messiah would do, but she knew the
other things that pertained to the Messiah from Genesis to Revelation.
Now what I am understanding here is that
Brother Branham left us with no Scripture concerning the Ministry of Brother
Joseph, then if there is a Scriptural foundation that someone has presently,
then we want to know by what authority did they put those Scriptures together
to identify the Prophetic Ministry of Joseph? You understand what I mean? Then
if that Brother is the one whose name you called, and if it is not him, then
probably he heard it from somebody with authority? And then if it is not that
somebody, then there is somebody else that he heard it from that probably has
that authority. If he did not hear that from that person, maybe there is a
fellow out there that God spoke to that has that authority. The fact is that
there must be some kind of an authority to put together whatever Brother
Branham said in the Scripture. You just cannot go by all those things.
Now if I would ask as a Brother, is
Brother Joseph a Major Prophet or a Minor Prophet? Then first of all we would
have to find the Scripture that identifies Joseph in order to find out if he is
a Major Prophet or a Minor Prophet. Definitely! You see everything goes back to
the Scripture. You've got to go back to the Scripture. I as a spiritual leader
and these Ministers here, will gladly receive Joseph as a Prophet, and
we did. But the missing link right here is that what part is Joseph playing
here according to Scripture. Where is his Ministry identified in the Bible?
Then if somebody is going to identify that Ministry in Scripture, and say,
okay, Revelation 10:1, 1Thessalonians 4:16; now that goes in with the regular
thing of false prophets that arose around the World, and maybe they are
impersonators that are running ahead of something. But yet still, there must be
some authority that identifies this Ministry in Scripture, and Brother Branham
did not do it. Then, as we heard here, when Joseph comes he must do that.
Now how can we accept a certain
ministry, just without scriptures and
in the open? Now what would I tell the people? Then we want to find out who is that person that actually got that authority to start presenting to the
world or to the churches, that Joseph is a prophet now. If they have that
authority to present Joseph as a Prophet, now in his Prophetic Ministry, then
there must be Scriptures to back that up. I could only accept that on the words
of Brother Branham, and we did that a long time ago, better than thirty and
more years ago. But for presentation to the people of God, there is no Scriptural foundation for me to go and say, okay Joseph is
a Prophet and here he is identified in Scriptures.
All right, let's say that God raised up
a Brother in the United States to do that, and he put the Scriptures together.
Then when he put those Scriptures together, I would have one little question to
ask him, and that is, how did you arrive to those Scriptures ahead of the
Prophet that is to come? Nobody knew how to line up those Scriptures for
Brother Branham; not an Oral Roberts, or a Billy Graham, nor nobody until the
Prophet himself arrived, and when the Prophet himself arrived he linked the
scriptures together and identified his
own self in the Bible. God's pattern in
Scriptures is that when the prophet comes he identifies himself in the
scripture. Now that is what you said,
and we accept that. Now we accept that Joseph is a Prophet and he is the one to
identify himself in the Scripture. Now
anybody that rises up and tries to identify him in a conglomeration of
Scriptures, at the present time, is strictly out of place, because they do not
have a Scriptural foundation to do it.
Now
we admire the presentation of our brother. And now that I have a little
'precis' of Brother Joseph being Elisha, Joshua, the Word that was prophesied
to come, and all these other offices, in order for me to preach this, knowing
the Scriptural order, that a Prophet must identify himself in Scriptures when
he comes; maybe Brother Joseph does have
that identification personally now: but until then, the only thing that I could
do here at this present time is for me to take this and write Brother Joseph,
as a Brother, and say, "Brother Joseph, I have heard thus and thus from my
brethren, that you are to be the Elisha, Joshua, the Word to come, and this,
and the next, and the next. as outlined to us" and write him a
comprehensive letter and say, "Brother
Joseph, do you put these scriptures together, and are you identified with these
scriptures?" Now, if Brother Joseph will be identified with those
Scriptures, then I would know that that is dealing with the same man that is
involved.
All right, what about me preaching that
here tonight, I having searched the Bible and got Scriptures, and I present
that, and Joseph comes to find out that there is a man in Trinidad called Bruce
who is identifying him in Scriptures? My Brothers and Sisters, he will turn
back and ask me, "by what authority are you doing this? Did you get your
authority from my father? Then show me it in the message? Did you get the
authority from God? Then that makes you a prophet, because God reveals his
secrets to the prophets." Then I would be at a loss. I wouldn't know what
to do. Then I would become a man that is trying to run ahead of a Prophet's
ministry. Yes! So for me to accept this on the basis of no Scripture I desist.
I have already accepted that many years ago. But to go about and preach that,
and present that, and have somebody ask
me for my Scriptural foundation, and I have none.
Then
if somebody asks me, "Did Brother Joseph identify himself in Scripture
already? Do you have a message, do you have a letter from him?", and I say
no, then I find myself in some hot
waters, and I may run in conflict
with the Prophet that is to come and have a quarrel with him before he even
show himself to the public. So, as far as accepting Brother Joseph as a
prophet, we did that a long time ago, but as to identify him in Scripture, I have not met a man to identify him in
Scripture.
Now a prophet could mean anything. It
could mean a Major Prophet; it could be a Minor Prophet. He could have a
different job. Then how am I to know that? You see! Somebody has to have
authority, and I do not have that authority, and the man, usually, who has that
ministry, has that authority. There was not a person in the whole world who
knew that those Scriptures were laying there for Brother Branham, and when he
came, he took the old letter and made it alive, and put all those Scriptures
together, and when he put all those Scriptures together, that identified the
Prophet, although he didn't say,
other than on a few occasions, .look, I am that Prophet.. But the fact is that
the Scriptures identified him. I believe that we have something mixed up here,
and the only safe thing to do with this presentation is to present it to
Brother Joseph and ask him if he sanctions these things.
If
Brother Joseph sanctions that, being a prophet, he will sanction that on the
Word. He will identify it in the
scripture. If I do that, and send these facts to him, he
would have to respond. Yes! And if he responds to me, and say that, "I
identify this in the scripture",
it changes the picture. But presently, we have nowhere to stand. And my Brother, to be truthful, you have
nowhere at the present time, to stand, other than the quotations of the
Prophet. If Brother Branham had actually explained what kind of a Prophetic
Ministry that is coming, and how to identify this Prophet, then it would be
different. But at the present time, you
have no Scriptural foundation for all what you have spoken, although we
accept that on the basis of the Prophet's word. Yes! Although it is true. And
this is not strange to us, we believe
Brother Joseph to be a Prophet for many years. Yes! But where is his place in
the Scripture?
We've got to wait, we've got to be
quiet, and we've got to be silent until that ministry breaks forth. And when
that Ministry breaks forth and start, it will go like this: it will identify
itself in the Scriptures and then be vindicated. All right, hear me quote
Brother Branham from 'Spoken Word Is The Original Seed', Brother Branham said, "The law of God is to accept a
vindicated servant of God." That is God's law. When that servant of
God comes forth, he is vindicated first by the Word of God and then he is
vindicated by the power and the signs and wonders that follow him. Then when
you reject that you die, you are cut off. But that has not happened as yet.
Joseph have not come forth with the Word yet, and Joseph is not vindicated by
signs and wonders, therefore nobody can be cut off at this present time by
saying, "I don't accept Joseph as a prophet", because God's law is to
accept a vindicated Prophet. Yes! So this is actually something, if the Lord so
ordained it, for a little later on when the Word comes forth and when the Lord
vindicates that Ministry. I hope you
get that clear?
So, I don't know, I would like to meet
some of these Brothers and speak to them in the very same fashion. And if I would meet the other Brother who projects
such, I would speak to him in the same
Spirit of love, respect and humility. I would treat him the very same way.
And I would think probably that he would have a little more information than
you, since you got it from him. Probably he did get it from somebody that has
the authority? But then whoever he gets that from and has that authority would
have to be a Prophet, because God reveal the secret to the Prophet. And then,
if he met a Prophet, then how could that
Prophet run ahead of Joseph to Scripturally identify Joseph's Ministry before
him. So something is not adding up right, and I think it would do you well
to re-examine what you heard; not in
a sense of whether Joseph is a Prophet or not, that is settled; but in the
sense of presenting that. You have no
scriptural foundation for presenting that.
Let's
say that we were a bunch of unbelievers that do not recognize Brother Joseph as
a Prophet, wouldn't you have problems
here tonight? All kind of questions
would be posed at you. And when
those questions are posed, what will happen is that the thing that you
think will choke, you will start bringing that out. You will say, "The
Scripture is Revelation 10:1. Now whoever is bringing up that and trying to put
that in the Scripture has got to find some kind of a Scripture somewhere. Yes!
And the major Scriptures that they can go to are Revelation 10:1,
1Thessalonians 4:16. But how do they identify Joseph in that without Joseph
identifying himself by the Word and by the vindication of God, which is the
manifestation of the Seven Thunders? How would they do that? No! They cannot!
So it's not a matter of accepting,
tonight, what you say. No! We accept what you had to say. So now it's a matter
deeper than accepting, it is to present
it to my congregation. How do I do that without a Scripture? Everything must be
based thoroughly upon the Scripture. And
whoever you heard got that, the
question to ask them is, "where is
the Scriptural foundation?" Okay,
they might take you and say, "this is hard meat now, you can't tell
everybody, and I want to show you the scripture . Revelation 10:1 here, don't
tell them that. You see, it comes out of his mouth. Seven Thunders went out of
his mouth. Yes! That is Joseph, and Seven Thunders went out of Joseph's mouth.
And 1Thessalonians 4:16, that's the Lord himself in a Shout and a Voice, and
that's the same thing that Brother Branham said, he was forerunning the Word."
That might be so, but by what authority
did that Brother link those Scriptures to identify Joseph, when Joseph in
himself have not linked those Scriptures to identify himself yet, and as a
Prophet, has the patience to wait on the Lord?
A prophet knows how to wait upon the
Lord. You see, the devil runs before a prophet as he ran before Moses. Do you
know it was brethren that caused Moses to kill the Egyptian before time? Think
of what I just said there? Didn't he see that his brethren were striving, and
on account of that he went out and messed up the program of God, but yet in the
program of God? So now, here we
accept tonight all the quotations of Brother Branham, which further confirm to
us that Joseph is a Prophet. But Brother, what we have to say is that we have
no Scriptural foundation to preach it to anyone.
Visiting
minister: We'll wait brother we'll wait.
Pastor: Definitely! We've
got to wait on the Lord. So now these Brothers, whoever they are, that is
trying to bring up these things, broadcast it, and probably threaten people in
the sense that if you don't accept this you'll be cut off. I don't see it. The
only time that a man can be cut off is when he rejects Truth, Scriptural Truth.
Yes! You must be enlightened with the Scripture. And when you reject that, then
you are cut off. So now that's the general idea. So I will like to meet the other Brother, and I will speak to him in
the same manner. I will not fuss at all. God knows that, my brethren knows that
I don't fuss with the brethren. You see, though I am saying these things my
Brother, you are most welcomed to this assembly. You have some other things
that you could find in Brother Branham's message I will gladly accept that. But
the idea is that this Church is built
solidly upon the Word of God. Yes! That is first and we try to take
everything that Brother Branham said and put it back in the Word. Everything
that he said was put back in the Word of God.
Now
if Joseph is coming forth as a Prophet, he is to the World and not just to the
people that follow Brother Branham's Message. Now I couldn't go and tell the
Pentecostal church Brother Branham said so and so. No! Brother Joseph is coming
to the World. Yes! I could not go out there with just what Brother Branham said this and he said that. No! I must have
a certain amount of Scripture. Okay, now if I have the certain amount of
Scripture, then there must be an authority that breaks down that scripture. All
right? Where is that authority? Is it this certain Brother? By what authority?
Then, the only authority that I will
accept is if that Brother is commissioned by Joseph himself, where he said
he got this Revelation from Joseph, directly from Joseph, and God spoke to
Joseph, put all them scriptures in his heart, and Brother Joseph discussed this
with this other Brother and told him that he could go broadcast that. Then I
will know where I am standing. Then when that man comes, I would write Joseph
and say, " here you have a man representing you; is that so? Do you know
him? His presentation is thus and thus, I want to have a confirmation?. Isn't
that scriptural order brother? Yes, that is scriptural order. So then, I do not know where that Brother
got his authority from, maybe he did speak to Brother Joseph. I will have to
write Brother Joseph and ask him those questions.
Visiting
minister: We can write him.
Pastor: Right? That is wonderful! And Brother, my humble
advice to you is that if Brother Joseph cannot confirm your presentation
scripturally, then he is still waiting on the Lord. And the letter he wrote
you, to be honest with you, that is too vague. It is too vague to build a
doctrine and present it. It is too vague, you know, those few words there.
You've got to find a scriptural foundation. So my humble advice to you is to
write him. Then we will write him, because we heard of other things and had
other presentations from a couple of other Brothers, and then I wanted to hear
for myself.
What I am looking for in all your
ministering my brother is a scriptural foundation, which I have not found, and
besides that, I am looking for a confirmation. If this Ministry has to do with this Prophet, then we
must have a link somewhere with the Scripture and him, a direct something that
comes from him where he has a sanction. I felt so glad when I heard you pulled
out this letter! I was expecting to hear Brother Joseph saying something more
concrete, and more in the affirmative. Now, he would not come out, he is humble
like his daddy, and he would not come out and say, "I am a prophet."
But the fact is that he would take the Scriptures, not so? And he would put the
Scriptures together, and he would say, "yes, this Scripture must be
fulfilled", you know, and then let the Lord reveal that to you.
Visiting
Minister: I will write him back again and find out.
Pastor:
Yes! So that would be nice, and we would do the same. So the fact is that your presentation
tonight has no Scriptural foundation, therefore we wait until we contact
Brother Joseph, maybe he does, but the only man that I would accept any
Scriptural foundation from to confirm the Ministry of Joseph is he himself. Now
don't you think that is sensible in the Scriptures? Because no man could know
more about the Ministry of a Prophet more than the Prophet that God is sending.
Yes. The Prophet before him could only say so much, but when the Prophet
comes to know about the Ministry because he received a Divine Revelation from
God, and when God brings that Revelation to him, he keeps revealing who he is
and the job he has to do right down to the end, and the pattern is how he used
Brother Branham.
Now
let me just say this to you my Brother, we
learn from Brother Branham's Message that a Prophet being borned a Prophet is
one thing, and then the Prophet being called is another thing, and then the Prophet
using the office of a Prophet is another thing. And we learnt from the book
called "Taking sides with Jesus", Brother Branham said a Prophet is
not a Pastor, neither is he an Evangelist. and Brother Branham says that
"if I am to be God's Prophet then I must come off the Evangelistic
field", and then he was taken off from the Evangelical field and sent into
the wilderness of Arizona. Yes! And then he fulfilled his direct Elijah
Ministry. So the fact is, I think where
some of the Brothers are getting mixed up is that Joseph is a Prophet, and he
was borned a Prophet. And the big question is, is he in that Prophetic Office
at the present time, being used as a Prophet? Now if he is being used as a
Prophet and he is using the Prophetic Office at the present time, he, Joseph,
must identify it in Scripture for himself and God has to stand behind it and
vindicate it. Now that's the vision of it. So Joseph is a Prophet and Joseph is
called as a Prophet just like Jeremiah was called a prophet from his mother's womb,
but then here is another thing I want to put in there, is that Brother Branham
said that "Joseph is a prophet but I will like to train him myself."
Then I am asking, where did Joseph get his training? Brother Branham died and
he was not able to train him. Where did he get his training from? Just a
question. You know what I mean, maybe I don't know, but I'm just saying what
the Prophet said that, "I would like to train Joseph myself."
So now what I am saying, there is one
thing about a Prophet being called, and then the second thing is being trained
and then anointed and sent. Called, trained, anointed and sent. And this is the
same pattern of all the Prophets and the Apostles. So now I think that is where
they are getting a little mixed up,
though sincere in heart and everything, I believe they are jumping ahead, you
see, because they see all these things in Brother Branham's message which is
true, but then, Brother you've got to wait; watch it. Sure, Joseph is a
Prophet. He was born a Prophet, he was called a Prophet, sanctioned by a
Prophet, but Joseph must go through training, he must come through God's rugged
school of training. You will find that in the book called "God Called
Man." Yes, he must come through God's rugged school of training, and after he goes
through that rugged school of training, then there comes a time that God
anoints him.
So
my question is, if I would meet some of these bigger Brothers from over there
that could probably give me more information, then I would ask them, when was Joseph trained? And I will ask,
when was Joseph anointed? And then I will ask, when was Joseph sent? And then
if Joseph is sent he must have a Message, if he is a major Prophet for the Age
he must have a Message, then the Scripture must bear record with that Message.
Is that right? Then that Message must be vindicated by signs and wonders and
anybody that reject that Message will be cut off from amongst the people.
That's the time that people get cut off; yes, because they reject that Message.
So you have to rightly divide the Scripture. Although you wholeheartedly accept
that and believe that, we've done the same, but I hope you understand what I am
saying Brother, it's a matter of a certain course and you must have Scriptural
foundation before you present anything at all.
We
want to thank you for your contribution, and we firmly believe your
presentation of the quotations that you made, and we are familiar with most of
those quotations, but then we did not have a Scriptural foundation. We will
check with Brother Joseph, and you could probably ask the other Brothers to
write us a letter giving us more information, then that would help us greatly.
But if that Brother would say that he grouped
those scriptures together, then first thing I would ask is, "by what authority? and how is it
that God give you a Revelation to group Scriptures together ahead of a Prophet that is to show
himself to Israel?" He is the man that is coming that God will reveal
those Scriptures to. Those Scriptures lay dead until the Prophet came, and when
he came he was the fulfillment of those Scriptures. God is His own interpreter;
remember that? He becomes the interpretation of that Scripture. So, Brother
Branham was Malachi 4:5&6 walking down the road, Revelation 10:7 walking
down the road, and all those other things.
And
if Joseph is coming with that Ministry, he will be those Scriptures walking
down the road and God would stand behind him and vindicate that, and until we could get a Scriptural foundation,
then I will say, "be silent" here in this little congregation, be
silent, although you are Preachers here, you are Deacons, you are brethren and
you know Brother Branham said these things. You could quote what Brother
Branham said, but then don't go out there and try to fuss with anybody to force
them to see that and believe that. You see, you've got to wait, otherwise you
will be running ahead of a Prophetic
Ministry, and we don't want that. Yes, so the Lord bless you my Brother.
Let us raise our hands and give him a praise offering. Thank you Savior, thank
you Lord, blessed be the Name of the Lord. Thank you Lord for our Brother.
Grant him grace Lord. Father let him go and search these Scriptures, let him go
on and search these things out and help him to understand that what was spoken
here tonight was for his edification and for the edification of the brethren.
Thank you Father, oh God, for thy goodness and for thy grace and for thy mercy.
Thank you very much for this precious Brother, Lord, with all sincerity and
honesty, that has taken this time to come and share these quotations with us.
Bless him for his efforts, and Lord, I pray that he will recheck these things
Father, and give him understanding for we pray and ask it in Jesus Name, Amen.
The Lord bless your hearts, you are dismissed
Visiting
minister: I just wanted to say one thing.
Pastor: Yes sure, come brother.
VISTING MINISTER’S REPENTANCE
Visiting
minister: I
want to thank God for being here tonight. You know, sometimes you get things
and you don't really check it a hundred percent. So the Brother here, these
things that he say, I have the confidence because it's the Word of God.
Sometimes you run ahead of things being enthused. You feel real enthused you
want to see. Although you know it's the truth. But tonight as he mentioned all
these other things, it made me, what is to say, take inventory, and, you know,
wait, although these things are so.
Pastor: Definitely, recheck it brother.
Visiting
minister: It must come to pass. These things will manifest in
time. Amen. I believe with all my heart that Joseph will come on the scene.
Amen?
Pastor: Yes.
Thus
ended the Pastor's examination of this heresy, without arguments, debates,
fussing and fighting or displaying any arrogant spirit, but by the Spirit of
Christ, manifesting love, wisdom, understanding, patience with humility, that
saved the visiting Minister from the error of his ways, by childlike repentance
even after the Service was dismissed. It was midnight when Ministers and Saints
were assemble with the repentant one to have a meal together before departing
in peace. Winston Douglas returned to worship a couple times at Bethel Church.
He quit preaching such doctrines, went
to Aruba where he became ill and died in about three months. It was rumoured
that God destroyed the Minister because he withstood his 'Chief and Five Star
General' where he assembled at the 'Exodus'. He was dismissed for replacing the
Indian Chief authority with Brother Joseph. Such allegations are presumptuous
and filled with pride and self exaltations.
Brother Winston Douglas went to be with the Lord. God will reveal why in
due season.
The
Fourth Doctrinal Division, which we will proceed to consider as Heretical
Article No. 39, is very informative.
(Heretical Article No.39)
“Individual messengers after Brother Branham to reveal the Seven
Thunders, claiming to be Christ, leading the Bride, and evangelizing the Seven
Thunders.”
Matthew
24: 4,5,23-26 - "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that
no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and
shall deceive many…Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is]
Christ, or there; believe [it] not. For there shall arise false Christs, and
false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if
[it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you
before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go
not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
The earth
today is filled with false prophets, from which the people that follow this
message are not exempted. False Christs and false prophets did truly arise as
Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:24, and are trying to deceive the elect. Brother Branham foresaw
and also prophesied of these false anointed ones, and confirmed it by Matthew
24:24 and his message entitled “False Anointed ones in the end time 1965”, and
specified that Matthew 24:24 and the
arising of these false Christs and false prophets would take place only after
the opening of the Seven Seals. Why? It simply proves what these false
Christs and false prophets will be impersonating. They will be impersonating Christ’s ministry that came into existence
by the opening of the Seven Seals.
“The whole
Word of God is Christ, and Christ is the Seals that was open. What is the opening of those Seals then?
Revealing Christ.” (Rising of the sun 18/04/65).
“Matthew
24 it would be a sign at the end time. Now, if this sign is only to be known at
the end time, then it'll have to be
after the opening of those Seals.” (Anointed Ones at the end time
25/7/65).
“
The Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth
that's been sealed in the Word. It is in that day that Jannes and Jambres,
the impersonators, will appear again…they appear to impersonate it. Now,
you see what Matthew 24:24 is? Anointed ones…It's at that same hour that the
Son of man is to be revealed. There is
a genuine Word standing out, vindicated; there is the make-believer
impersonating It.”(Anointed ones at the end time 25/7/65).
Wherever there is a genuine article of God, it is
always impersonated by Satan.
The prophet, William Branham, treated this subject
with utmost importance. Eyewitnesses reported that there were lamentable
weepings and wailings when Brother Branham announced the title of his message,
“False Anointed ones in the end time”.
This message of the last messenger parallels Paul’s
message to the Ephesians, Acts 20:29-30
“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among
you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking
perverse things, to draw away disciples after them”.
The importance
of this message, “False anointed ones”, was not directed to organizations, although it concerns all
men, because Brother Branham was a prophet to the entire world, but was
directed to the followers of Brother Branham, after the elect were called out
from organizations by the message, for
Satan was about to come through his false prophets and false Christs, and try
to deceive the elect under the message. Therefore, what we now see as
“Individual messengers after Brother Branham to reveal the Seven Thunders”,
claiming to be Christ, leading the Bride, and evangelizing the Seven Thunders”,
is in direct fulfillment of what Brother
Branham prophetically taught on his message, “False Anointed ones”. The revelation of that message is now
manifested in such false Christs and false prophets impersonating the Christ
ministry, revealed Word, Son of man, Luke 17:30, second coming of Christ,
Dove leading Eagle, Indian Chief and White Horse rider. The proof that they are impersonating the ministry from the opening of
the Seven Seals is the message that they proclaim, all based on the Seven
Thunders, but all their thunders revelations are contrary one to the other,
which have the mix multitude that follow our Moses, walking around in circles
in the message wilderness.
Korah, Abiram and Dathan with the great princes of
Israel, all proclaimed that God had spoken to them and not Moses only. But if
these men die a natural death, God never spake by William Branham. It’s
blasphemy to impersonate Christ in his second coming with the revelation of the
Seven Thunders. It’s to wind yourself off the beaten track.
“So don't
put no interpretation to anything…cause if you don't you twist yourself out
into something there, and then you're off the beaten track. So just don't try to make no interpretation. And especially tonight,
when that Seal becomes up in front of you. Just don't try to interpret it. (Q.A.
on the Seals 24/03/63).
He warned them not to make any isms on the Seventh
Seal, which is the Seven Thunders. They have done exactly that in disobedience
to the voice of the prophet. Now we have isms on the Seven Thunders and the
opening of the Seventh Seal, throughout the message world, and we have eighth
messengers, claiming to be the messenger after Brother Branham, more than
buzzards on a dead horse. We will
examine the claims of these christs and Joshuas, with their isms, heresies
and cults, by examining their teachings,
callings and their lives. Jesus said: “Beware
of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by
their fruits” Matthew 7:15-16. The Seven Seals were opened
for this very purpose, which is to expose the antichrist; hence the first four
Seals were the exposition of the antichrist.
The exposition
of these false Christs and false prophets and their heresies, are of uttermost
concern to all that are identified with this end time message, and love their soul
salvation, due to the fact that some of
these men have international recognition amongst message churches, and
their heresies and isms have been established amongst the believers as truth.
Some of these men’s lives are as filthy as the heresies that they preach: They
bear corrupt fruits of adultery, fornication, pride, arrogance and lies. These men who were never supernaturally
called of God, but sent of Satan, built their ministries upon false visions,
dreams, lying prophecies and experiences like so-called Pentecost of old.
One claimed that he met with a two hundred pounds angel (Satan transformed),
and was possessed by a demon in the form of dove in the Catalina Mountains.
Some saw pillars of light, clouds, appearances of rainbows, doves, make claims
of third pull manifestations, discernments, and have lying signs and wonders
following some, that if it were possible they would deceive the very elect. Their follies shall be made manifest, for
these men are Jannes and Jambres, impersonators of Moses’ ministry in the
first and second pull (phase). They have climbed a little higher, now trying to
climb into the realms and impersonate the third pull (phase)
ministry.
“The Third Pull was the
opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in
the Word. It is in that day that Jannes
and Jambres, the impersonators, will appear again, just like they did when
Moses appeared with the original Word to say it; they appear to impersonate it.” (Anointed ones at the end time
25/7/65).
But as Jannes and Jambres failed to operate the
creative power of God, these are exposed by their lack of power, so they claim
to manifest it temporarily, but they are found false prophets, for the next
manifestation of the Third Pull is in the fullness of its power at the squeeze.
This will be the true avindication of the ministry of Christ that was loosed by
the Seven Seals.
“When the squeeze comes down, then
you'll see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in the fullness of its power (Look away to Jesus
29/12/63).
These eighth messengers, and special apostles are
too numerous to mention, since the
arising of these false christs and false prophets, under the message, dates back
to the opening of the Seals, 1963. Our effort is not to cover every eighth
messenger, because their doctrines are
similar, their lifestyles, their approach to spreading their doctrines, and
their end is the same, whether they have already fallen or it comes later,
the results remains the same. But we are trying to identify the spirit of the
false anointed ones; therefore we will take some of the more popular ones who
have greater influence upon the lives of the people.
We’ll first examine the ministry of an outstanding
eighth messenger that arose in 1966, his claims, his life, his doctrines and
the end of his ministry, which serves as
a model for other eighth messengers who we will consider hereafter, identifying
them by their locations, historical backgrounds, and their similarity of
teachings.
Immediately after the days of Brother Branham’s
departure arose a man from India and claimed the New Ministry of William
Branham that was promised to come. His ministry was not superseded by any of
these other impersonators and eighth messengers that arose after him. He
claimed that the second coming of Christ was in the east, in India. He met
Brother Branham during a service in U.S.A., who, he claimed, told him to return
to India, for the Lord has a great work for him to do. He went back, and with
certain information he got from a revivalist and servant of God concerning the
New Ministry, propagated himself as the
coming of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ on earth in the east. On one of his
books was a photograph of Brother
Branham embracing him, with an inscription, “when the east and west met”.
He had great
followings,
even from the United States where thousands left and went down to India to
follow his ministry. He was honored by
his followers as the second coming of the Lord, the messenger to follow
Brother Branham, Christ veiled in human
flesh.
His ministry
and teachings were published in books. On the front cover of many of his books was
written, “Son of Man Revealed”. In his books were songs written by his followers concerning the ministry of the second
coming of Christ in flesh now upon the earth. Documented also, were many
pictures testifying to, and in upliftment of his ministry. In one photograph, he was seen with a halo of light over the entire
person of his being. There were also photographs of supernatural clouds over the homes of many that had accepted his
ministry.
It was
reported that he was baptizing one thousand daily, and that he had three hundred
persons in a tent, along with a crippled animal, which all were healed, one
after the next, by the click of his
fingers. This, he claimed, was the manifestation of the Third Pull
ministry. By this he exalted himself above God’s major prophet, and said that
Brother Branham’s ministry was a baby ministry, since he had to see visions
before he performed miracles, but all that he had to do was to click his
fingers. He began to project different
doctrines other than that of the messenger; better and higher swelling
revelations. He even went so far as to teach against the eating of pork in
his books.
This man visited Trinidad in the mid sixties. He later ventured out and set a date for
the rapture in January 1972, which was to occur in Israel. Because of the
impact of his ministry, many of his ardent followers deserted their earthly
possessions, and made plans to go to Israel in preparation for the translation
there. About that time, there came the
revivalist and servant of God to Trinidad, from U.S.A., who mistakenly and
before the appropriate time, explained to him a few things concerning the New
Ministry of Brother Branham. Under the supernatural power of God, while
ministering in the north, he exposed that man as a false prophet and an
impersonator, and before hundreds of people said, “Thus Saith the Lord”, “there will be no rapture on the date that this
false prophet prophesied. My only concern is how are those poor people going to
get home after that prophecy fails.” Since that time, we heard no more of
his great miracles, signs and wonders, baptisms, followings, clouds, great
publications, his great exaltations, books and songs.
The last that was reported of him to the churches,
was that he was committed to an insane
asylum. After twenty-eight years, we heard very little of him, even as if
he never existed. Such is the faith of
all impersonators, even as when Korah, Abiram and Dathan were swallowed up
by the earth opening her mouth.
If this man
had such great claims, such great followings, came in contact with Brother
Branham in such a personal way, and his folly was made manifest, so shall the
folly of all other impersonators and eighth messengers, now on the field, will
be exposed.
This is evident by the dream of Brother Walker, interpreted by Brother Branham,
represented in a false prophet riding the black and white horse driven off the
trail by the White horse rider, Christ in His new ministry in his super church.
We will now
consider the claims of several eighth messengers, Joshuas, Christs and Son of
man from Canada and U.S.A.: from Jeffersonville, Indiana, a Yugoslavian from Connecticut, but
chiefly, one from New York, of whom
we will speak particularly, because he was one of the first persons who arose
claiming to have the revelation of the Seven Thunders, and his international influence that corrupted the message, and thousands
of believers internationally, and here in Trinidad, of which we are
personal witnesses as ministers and congregations. He is an Afro-American, stationed in New York, ordained by the prophet,
like Judas by Jesus, who claimed that he
was caught up in the heights of the spiritual atmosphere and got the revelation of the Seven
Thunders approximately ten years after the opening of the Seals, when
Brother Branham said it was not revealed to him (Ref. Pages 564-577 Seals
Book). His Thunders revelation was published on several tracts. He highlighted
the statement of Brother Branham where he said that there is something about
New York.
After Brother Branham announced that he was going to
preach the trail of the serpent, it was reported that this man ambitiously ran
ahead and preached Trail of the serpent, which revelation Brother Branham did
not endorse. This same self exalted,
ambitious and self lead attitude that caused him to run ahead of the prophet,
again caused him to run ahead of God’s program and plan laid down in the
message for the revealing of the Seven Thunders, which resulted in him
formulating an ism on the Thunders that the Word of God does not endorse. He
claimed that God revealed the thunders
to him in order to lift the standard of the black man. With this element of racism, he included African songs and was able
to bewitch souls from New York to Africa, and had a great following in Trinidad
also.
This formed the basis for his great Seven Thunders
revival, followed by a sealing revival in 1984, which bewitched people
internationally. The majority of Seven
Thunders preachers throughout the United States, South America and the
Caribbean, drew their inspiration, revelations, heresies and standards of
morality from this self proclaimed, most fortunate, chosen of God to receive
the Seven Thunders revelation, including the Indian Chief authority from the Exodus church in Trinidad, of
whom two books were written in the year two thousand and are presently in
circulation, which continues to bring great deliverance to ministers and
congregations worldwide. We will consider this eighth messenger and his deeds
under this subject.
This great ministry flourished and exalted itself
for several years as the great Seven Thunders revival, which later produced a sealing
revival in 1984, perfecting the Bride for the rapture. It smote and trod under
foot all that resisted its preachers and their doctrines. These super spiritual ministers and their believers no longer practice
the moral standards of the message. Their dressings changed to some of the
latest styles of New York, high heel shoes, worldly beats; African songs
and tempo injected into their music, sports etc. Local preachers began falling in adultery and fornication, and likewise
the members of their congregations.
Many who claimed the seal of God, and two entire
congregations with their several ministers were rescued from such moral
degradations, by the ministry of the Word and full adherence to Brother
Branham’s message, and are still standing with the infallible Word of God, and
in full support of the exposition of such New York heresies, and are living
witnesses to the facts that are written in this book, for many were made to
believe that they were sealed and ready for the rapture. In contrast, there are
two other groups that held fast to the New York Thunders, and are yet upholding
such New York heresies, fanaticisms and moral degradations.
SEALING REVIVAL-EYEWITNESSES ACCOUNTS OF
MINISTERS AND BELIEVERS
This so-called Sealing Revival of the great Seven
Thunders, started in 1984 in New York while a song was being sung by this
fortunate vessel and his congregation. Message believers from all over were
summoned and a large convention was held in Pennsylvania for the purpose of
imparting the so-called Seal of God to the believers. This gathering included
prominent people (Doctors and lawyers) from Nigeria, and other African
residents in the United States. Adults and children all lined up in hope and
anticipation, while cripples in their wheel chairs sat nearby. As this
so-called Seal of God was being imparted by the laying on of hands, and by the
ministers speaking the word and motioning with their hands, both adults and
children fell to the ground as they were slain under the power and pretense of
what was being administered. They testified that they became troubled in their
minds when they observed that this seal totally lacked the power that
accompanied the one mentioned in the Bible, for all the crippled remained
unhealed in their wheel chairs and went out in the same condition that they
came in. A match was then held by two Holy Ghost Basketball teams made up of
message believers. After the match, every one of the team members got sealed,
they claimed.
This revival also came to Trinidad. The groups that were
delivered, testified and described this “sealing revival” in one of the
churches in Port of Spain (the capital) as follows: In full African style of
the spiritual Baptist, of which we are well acquainted here in Trinidad, and
also the Shango religion, which was brought over from Africa and hybridized
with Christianity. They are demon-possessed people who deal with witchcraft,
worship all night and dance to the beats of the drums of Africa as they perform
animal sacrifices. The background of these converts are predominantly Baptist,
Shango and so-called Pentecostals, therefore it was not too hard to fall into
that so-called sealing revival which revived their old roots and brought again
seven other spirits, more wicked than the first, evident by their disgraceful
demonstration of dancing, shouting, blood curdling screams, slaying in the
spirit, women almost naked on the floor, covered by sheets, tied by ropes,
controlled by several sisters and deacons.
These put the Baptist to shame, who are always well clad
in modest apparel, and who never tried to strip themselves when their African
power possesses them, but Seven Thunders women, given the chance, will strip
themselves completely naked under the power of the ghost that possess them
under their sealing revival. This reminds me of legion who stripped himself as
a demoniac, living in the tombs of Gadara. No wonder why such sealing revival
end up in gross immorality, adulteries, fornications, free love, homosexuality,
lesbianism, and immoral dressing as never heard or seen around the message
before that time.
Such activities of screaming, and demon possessions,
attracted the ungodly in the city, who enquired as to what was taking place in
the Port of Spain assembly. What a disgrace to the message and the Name of
Christ, when they saw men in full embrace rolling on the ground in homosexual
style, and women likewise.
Many years have passed, yet these poor deluded
people practices some of these things, fully accepting such demonic
demonstrations as the sealing revival. To prove that this was not the genuine
outpouring of the Holy Spirit, these believers testified that almost all backslid who claimed such
blessings, and many who did not backslide later renounced that as not being the
true seal of God. The gifted leader was contacted for him to give an
explanation for the multitudes of backslidings, the imperfection of saints, and
the lack of keeping power of the mighty Seven Thunders. His response was that
the same things were happening in New York, and seemed not to have the answer.
Separations and doctrinal divisions on the thunders were prevalent in New York,
South America, Caribbean and wherever this impersonator influenced and
bewitched people. Originally it was established by that satanic movement, that
the Seven Thunders are the seven
virtues. Doctrinal division brought
about many other versions of interpretations on the Thunders throughout the
world, which exist up to this date. This great impersonator after being
held in such great admiration and exaltations is seldom heard of anymore, and is a bitter enemy to many of his
offsprings. Their ministries have now outgrown that one of New York with
greater followings, and multitudes of satanic interpretations that have
thousands of people bounded worldwide.
About the time that the New York gifted servant of
God came to Trinidad, soon after, a date
was set for the rapture in June 1974. The Bride was supposed to be
translated by the seven thunders and rapturing faith. This seemingly planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of many believers
when it did not come to pass, since they made many sacrifices in
preparation for the rapture.
Take notice
that this ministry took the same course as the one from India, which is the exaltation of
a man (a false prophet) and his ministry, publishing of literature, tapes also,
and songs written to exalt him, his ministry and projections; contradicting and
changing of the message of Brother Branham; higher swelling revelations than
that which the messenger taught, changing of the moral standards of the
message, super spirituality and fanaticisms, evident by a date set for the
rapture. This impersonator also came to
naught, their date for the rapture failed, and he himself is despised by many
whom he deceived. It proves that
that was not the Thunders and the ministry of Christ to perfect the Bride,
because it ended up in imperfection, divisions, perversion of the message,
adulteries, false doctrines of Trail of the serpent is Ham’s Sodomy with
Noah, and Seven Thunders are seven Virtues, seven Live voices of the church
Ages.
The Seven
Thunders and the ministry of Christ in the end time is to be avindicated by the
creative power of God, the Third pull. This impersonator, like all others on
the field today, many who are his offsprings, are exposed as heretics and false
anointed ones, self proclaimed eighth messengers, evident by a lack of that avindication. If you are sitting under an eighth
messenger, examine him by the same promise of avindication.
A faithful offspring of the Seven Thunders revival,
which originated in New York, is in our backyard here in Trinidad-“the Indian
Chief Authority, Joshua, five star general, revealer of the pyramid mysteries
and Seven Trumpets.” Before the impersonator from New York came to naught, he
came to this country and produced a spiritual son in his own image, after his
likeness, who had the same ambitions and aspirations as his New York father,
and even more. This ambitious preacher made painful efforts and took great care
to attain the tapes of his New York father, which he studied for years. He
proclaimed the New York Thunders of Seven Thunders are seven virtues, until he
made his adjustments and formulated his own thunder ism and heresy.
In 1979, by his own testimony, he visited Arizona and later proclaimed that while there he
received a super anointing when he was
possessed by a spirit, which he claimed was the seventh dove that appeared to Brother Branham. He also claimed
that in Sabino canyon, the very King’s Sword
that fell into the hands of Brother Branham literally fell into his hand there,
indicating that the ministry of the
Third Pull was given to him. Every year in September, a memorial is held by him and his hundreds of ardent followers in honor of these events as the definite
identification of the ushering in of the New Ministry. He referred to these
occurrences as a turning point in his ministry, and from then onwards, he
cunningly projected himself as the vessel chosen of God to fulfill this New
Ministry.
He being an East
Indian who lived in the western
hemisphere, proclaimed himself as the Indian
Chief Authority from the west, the white horse rider. Being that the
seventh dove possessed him, he proclaimed himself as the Dove lead White eagle
which Brother Branham said was Christ, and personally wrote a song which said: “I just want that dove to lead this eagle…now he will send me with his Word as he rides this trail again”. This song was used when introducing this
eagle to the pulpit. On his pulpit platform is a large carved whitely painted
eagle. On the back cover of his books is a picture of a dove leading an
eagle, and an eagle capping the pyramid with a sword in its claws. We know
these things to be true for we have visited his church and have his books and
tapes. His followers said that he was
Joseph, the son that was promised to Brother Branham, which was fulfilled in a
spiritual sense.
His projections are that after the death of Brother
Branham, his followers were in darkness, but years after, he as one born out of due season was given the true revelation after
the days of Brother Branham, and all that God did not permit the prophet to
know or reveal to the public, this included the Seven Thunders revelation,
the unknown language and the mysterious writings of the pyramid where light had
never before shone etc. He also claimed that in 1984 the New Name of the Lord
was revealed to him, which he said was JVHU that the translators could not
pronounce.
His ministry, he claims had supernatural confirmations
of sightings of doves, pillars of fire, clouds, rainbows, a two hundred pound
angel, visions, dreams, and that by his preaching, the latter rain fell in 1981
in south Trinidad, which was showers of revelations, which started the Bride’s
seven thunders revival that was supposed to sweep the world in fulfillment of
Revelation 10:8-11, evangelizing the Seven Thunders, and catching the Bride of
Christ. His ministry went across the earth where he bewitched thousands of
souls with his thunders heresies, and he now has a large following.
A hymnbook
full of song were written, which spoke of two hundred pounds angel, dove lead eagle, latter
rain, white horse rider, five star general, word made flesh, son of man, and
bride’s revival, in commemoration of
this imposter’s ministry.
This “five star general, heading the fivefold
ministry”, as he progressed with his
so-called Bride’s revival, compromised and lowered the moral standard of the
message that he himself once upheld,
and brought back television into the church, trapset, worldly beats injected
into their music, women’s dressing changed in copy of his New York father, high
heel shoes etc. The rainbow trout and
honest in heart that were caught and sealed under his bride’s sealing revival
were always backsliding, adulteries and fornication, which shows the lack
of keeping power of his mighty seven thunders and super anointing that he
received in the Catalina which he imparted to those under his ministry and that
followed his revival. Even he himself is
a lover of sports and was inspired to cut short his sermon in order to reach to
the oval in time to witness a football match.
Fanaticisms crept in which involved the
manifestation of the speak the word ministry. The only difference with this
than when manifested by Brother Branham, is that when this imposter spoke the Word, it did not come to pass and some of
the sick members from his congregation died. Also fanaticisms on marriage,
which resulted in many of his members backsliding and falling in fornication.
His doctrines
became more and more satanic as his revival progressed, projecting doctrines
and revelations that the messenger did not preach. He was not satisfied with
impersonating the New Ministry, but lust and ambition caused him to assume the
ministry of Moses and Elias, claiming to preach the Seven Trumpets, which the major prophet said has nothing to do with
the church. In his trumpet heresy books,
he claimed that the trumpets have much to do with the Bride. He claimed to
be reading the mysterious writings in
the pyramid that Brother Branham said in the vision that he did not
interpret. He claimed to be preaching the
unknown language of the seventh seal that Brother Branham said he could not
interpret. He even went so far as to preach that the lamb had left the mercy seat in heaven at the opening of the
seals, which he now tries to deny since
this heresy was exposed. We will quote his very words to very this fact:
“Between
his priesthood and His Kingship, He’s going to be judge. And He had white wig
to show He is no longer in the sanctuary, Amen. He has left there now.” (Page
12 The Revelation of The Seven Trumpets Vol. 1.)
“And
then 1965, April, the Cloud was turned. The Holy Spirit say, “that picture you
watching it the wrong way, turn it”. And when he turned it he saw One like the
Supreme Judge on the Lord’s Day, Revelation 1 with the white wig; showing he
had left the sanctuary, is judgment moving in.” (Page23 The Revelation of The Seven Trumpets Vol. 1.)
He projected
that the blood was now in his heart and that he was opening up a new and living way for
the Bride of Christ worldwide, and unless you meet God’s mercy seat on earth, your sins cannot be remitted. Some of his frontline men and followers
have made reference to him as “the Spotless Lamb from whom they draw out the
blood”.
When compared
with the two former impersonators, models of our exposition, it shows that this
is the same kind of a spirit at work, bearing the same fruits of the exaltation of a man
and his ministry, songs and books published to exalt such satanic claims,
changing of the moral standards, claiming greater and higher revelations that
the messenger did not teach, super spirituality and fanaticisms. Since it has the same seed, spirit and
doctrines (only more satanic), same kind of followings and bewitchment, then it
must have the same end.
With all his claims and so-called great swelling
revelations, this Indian chief authority
has no vindication. The required vindication of super Third Pull power is
missing, and many have closed their eyes for personal reasons, and sit
under that ministry after it was exposed. But the elect of God amongst his
followers will soon have their deliverance when the gates of Hell give way by
the spoken word ministry and the avindication that’s promised.
There arose a super spiritual one in Connecticut
U.S.A. in 1969, who saw a vision of seven birds wearing helmets, and God
changing horses in midstream of the New Ministry of Brother Branham. He
proclaimed that an outpouring was to take place within one week of his
preaching. Many followed him as a prophet and eighth messenger. He rode off
with many believers from the message, preached soul mating, and members swapped
mates. He prophesied that the rapture was to take place in Israel. He came to
his end shortly after and left a confused group of people, all mixed up on
doctrines and manner of lives, yet despising, persecuting and hating true
believers of the message in Connecticut.
Another one to arise after 1973 was a man who fits
all the descriptions of Cain’s seed, and who by guile and subtility closed down
three message churches here in Trinidad in the mid seventies. This tall
powerfully built Yugoslavian sports fan that migrated to the USA, came to
Trinidad in 1973 and became friends to the ministers of the churches he closed
down. He became their leader and advisor
and propagated himself to be Christ the bridegroom, and chosen sisters became
his bride. He had private conferences with believers from time to time
during which he went into meditation. While preaching in secrecy, himself and
members of those congregations studied the Books of Rudulf Benavidas, which
deals with going back in the past lives of people, in other words they studied
Reincarnation. He began reading the
stars, and laying more emphasis on the heavenly Bible than the written
Word.
He, a pretended brother like Judas, projected himself to be a eunuch.
Because of his claims brothers entrusted him with their wives who spent hours
with him in a private room alone. Husbands were not allowed to go in with their
wives. They called him ‘daddy’ and did nothing without consulting him. He
influenced some of the sisters to cut their hair, and some to take part in
sports. This adulterer taught a doctrine
of soul mating, separation, and not having sexual indulgences, saying that was
the cause Adam and Eve were put out of Eden, so the way back was to stop
having sexual indulgences. Separation were for long periods. It was a trick for
women to wax wanton and go to bed with him.
When these sisters waxed wanton he lived with them as their husband. This
self styled eunuch was caught in the very act of adultery by his most super
spiritual bride. His folly was made manifest like other eighth messengers, but those
ministers who were deceived by him are still in deception, yet propagating some
of his doctrines.
Nineteen seventy-seven came where the prophet
predicted that the seventh church age may end. He made them close down their churches by saying that church ages time
is over. Reports are that he destroyed several other churches in U.S.A. by
the same strategies. His actions fits
that of a Jesuit in all respect.
A gifted man of God from central, who
continues to expose such ministers, eighth messengers, false christs and false
prophets, on this and other previous books; on his first meeting in Trinidad
with this Yugoslavian born resident of U.S.A., discerned him as having an
antichrist spirit, and declared him as a Judas and false anointed one. This
caused him his friendship of three prominent ministers who supported this
impersonator, closed their churches by his command, and caused members to loose
thousands of dollars that was loaned to their prophet. These men never had the
Christian courtesy to acknowledge their wrong after this false anointed one was
exposed and sought to murder them. One of the minister’s wife lost her mind,
forsook the message and yet suffers a nervous breakdown. May the Lord heal her
is our prayer. They have joined the scrap heap of ministers that have fallen by
the wayside.
These ministers were believers in the
resurrection doctrine that was imported from the USA. They made their departure
from solid truth and departed into greater heresy. They claimed that the Angel of the Lord supernaturally
visited them. They subsequently followed that eighth messenger, who was their
leader for some years. They, along with their congregations, accepted him as
the very Christ. They proclaimed him as having the revelation of the capstone,
which included the revelation of the seventh seal. Some of the revelations they
preached at that time, which were based on heresies on the Zodiac were: “The
Seven Thunders were not completely revealed, it is to come to the Bride forty
days before the rapture, by the resurrection of the messenger. That revelation
was supposed to produce rapturing faith which is the true revelation of the New
Birth. As a result, the apostles were not borned again, and Brother Branham was
not borned again. If they were borned again they could not die. Thus whosoever
is borned again by that revelation, which is the secret of life after death,
cannot die, but will be translated for the rapture.
Realizing that they were deceived by
him, these two fanatics reopened one Church. Instead of repenting for their wicked living, they came up with a
devil’s excuse and interpretation for the corrupt life that they and the church
lived, which is that the seed
that they were born again by had to
corrupt before it could come to life.
They went deeper and deeper form one heresy and interpretation to the next,
until today they believe that they are the two messengers to proclaim the
gospel around the world, before they turn it over to Israel. They continue to
function up to date with a hybridized form of doctrine based partly on the
message, the teachings of the Yugoslavian, their own interpretation, and some
of the teachings of a revivalist and servant of God. They are a stone throw
away from Bethel Church. We pity the young people that were corrupted and
bewitched by such heresies from their youth, who now makes up the general
assembly. Their follies shall be made manifest, even as Jannes and Jambres,
India and New York impersonators, the Indian Chief, and the Yugoslavian eighth
messenger.
Amongst the Caribbean countries, Trinidad, in
particular, seems to be a great bedding ground for false anointed ones in the
end-time, cults, heresies and damnable doctrines, which have exercised the
spiritual abilities, as if it was God’s providence in training servants of God
to discern, challenge and expose such spirits in their region, which as a
result, brought about the “Exposition of Damnable Heresies”, after many years
of experience; their senses being also exercised to quickly discern false
anointed ones from many parts of the world.
Bethel “The House of God”, located in central
Trinidad, is virtually surrounded by these false anointed ones: right in our
back yard we have the two begotten sons of the Yugoslavian White Horse rider,
who are the two prophets to take the gospel around the world, and finally to
Israel. We have the Indian Chief Authority and five star general of all
ministers in the message. We have prophet and Christ Revelation 10:1, who
claimed to have manifested the third pull, and who in our hearing said, “Unless
you believe that I am He you shall die in your sins”.
We have another who indicated that the New Name of
the Lord is “Sahadeo”. He spiritualizes all black outs and scientific
achievements, and must have some prophetic ability to have such spiritual
discernment. He began sending out a lot of literature, but of recent times was
stopped in his track by a request from a believer, that he publish about his charge for the murder of his former wife
while being a Pentecostal preacher, since this is fully known by all in
Trinidad, and is a great stumbling block to the unsaved, as a preacher of this
message, and revealer of the Seven Thunders. What was his reason for not
replying after many months? We do not know. But it is rather strange, that one
could not give a simple answer to a simple question. This same man, with
prophetic abilities, propagates Brother Joseph Branham as a prophet now in his
ministry, something that Joseph does not endorse, and has denounced from the
pulpit.
Also here in Central Trinidad, we have the alliance
of two ministries, one who has the Third Pull, and the other who has all the
gifts of the five-fold ministry, and who claimed that he was called as a
prophet to this Nation. Having denounced the Indian Chief, he went over to his
associate minister who claimed that he was sent to anoint him as Samuel was
sent to anoint David. This latter minister, I guess his dreams were fulfilled
that he had at his inception, that God was going to make of him a flaming
Sword.
And finally we had a Sodomite prophet who was the
pastor of the first assembly that originally accepted this message when it came
to this country in 1964, and claimed that Brother Branham came to him in a
dream and commissioned him to preach the message. From then on he posed as a
prophet, and the messenger to follow Brother Branham. He later invented a lie
and an evil report that “Brother Branham does not want to see any Negro
people”, and concluded that he was a true prophet and Brother Branham was
false. His sins found him out, evident by his sodomy, and his folly was made
manifest.
There are several other eighth messengers in the Caribbean.
One arose in Grenada and claimed that three million people would gather to hear
his preaching or he is a false prophet. He died a false prophet for this never
occurred. Another from Berbice, Guyana claimed to be a mighty prophet with
vindications and fire falling around him. He is a humble man but highly
ambitious and deceived. Finally, we have a man from Georgetown, Guyana, who
came around Bethel claiming to be Revelation 10:1 with a picture of a pillar of
fire. He was only able to fool a five year old child who was listening while
other believers were amusing themselves, being acquainted with these spirits.
That is a good example of lovely people who believes the message, and in child
like faith believes what their pastor tells them, and if there is no one to
tell them the truth like the pastor’s five year old daughter, who came to her
senses in a few minutes, then they remain in deception. Others are yet alive
with similar projections as prophet and Christ Michael the archangel and so
forth.
However we will deal only with one more who is a
most popular one from Puerto Rico, West Indies. He has semi long hair.
Seemingly, he borrowed his doctrine from somewhere. He dates back to the early
seventies, and influences the whole of Latin America. He also has a following
in Trinidad. They outshine a lot of the
immoral conduct that is found around the message today by their gross
immoral conduct. This eighth messenger,
in no uncertain terms, claims to be a great one, the last prophet, a
dispensational angel or messenger, Christ, to follow Brother Branham and
fulfill his New Ministry and further to take the gospel to the Jews, and that
this ministry of the coming of Christ would be in Puerto Rico. Quoting him:
“The coming of Jesus Christ, the pillar of fire being manifested, being
revealed through his angel messenger, which would be giving testimony of these
things in the churches, giving testimony of all these things to all the human
beings, to all nations and to all tongues, starting
with Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and to all Latin America. And then it will
extend in a certain time to the whole world; it will reach the Hebrew people, and they will say: “This is what I
was waiting for.” They will say: “This is our God, to which we waited for”,
when they see the pillar of fire, Jesus Christ revealed in the end time. It will be Jesus Christ, the pillar of
fire, the shekinah, God manifested in the end time in His angel messenger.
His angel messenger: one of the members of the mystical body of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the last prophet messenger that God would have in this planet
earth.”(The perfect day 13/12/92).
This so-called Prophet and eighth messenger projects doctrines
that are totally contrary to those taught by the messenger, Brother Branham. He believes
that he will take the Gospel to the Jews fulfilling the Ministry of Moses and
Elias in Revelation 11. All the Prophets he says were in Jesus, therefore one man could fulfill the ministry of the
two prophets to Israel, and this man could be a gentile, because Paul, a
Jew, was a messenger to the gentiles. He further claims that Matthew 24:31, Christ sends
his two angels (Moses and Elias) with the sound of a great trumpet to gather
the elect from the four winds. He therefore concluded that the second coming of
Christ with the trumpet and the ministry of Moses and Elias with the trumpet is
one and the same, which is why there were two Cherubims (Angels) over the Ark.
He therefore projects that the ministry of the second coming of Christ as the
lion of Judah is fulfilled in him, he must gather the elect from amongst the
gentiles and also he will be the messenger to the Jews fulfilling the ministry
of Moses and Elias. From his Message, 'Awakening to
Reality', he claims that the fourth Elijah spoke of another Elijah, the fifth
to come. This fifth Elijah to come was himself. Note, according to Scripture,
the fifth coming of Elijah is to the Jews.
This Minister believes that he will be bringing the
revelation of the Seven Thunders and the Seventh Seal. On his
books he refers to himself as the angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, that Christ
himself will be speaking through. He claim that the Angel of Revelation 22:16
that brought the book of revelation to John is him, and that God has sent him
to testify these things in the churches and claim that it must start in a
chosen place, Puerto Rico, then spread to the other nations and then go over to
the Jews.
He also applies
to himself, and identifies himself with the notable Angel that flew eastward in
the Vision that Brother Branham had concerning the Seven Angels. He said that
Brother Branham, the Seventh angel, was caught up in the cloud with the Seven
Angels, in his theophany body. He said
that was a cloud containing the seven church ages angels in theophany
form, and the mighty angel (Christ). His
followers refer to him as “the messenger”.
He has a big
book ministry where he propagates all his doctrines for years, with his photograph
on the front cover. He has a big following and controls most of Latin America.
He also has a following in Trinidad. We know his followers, and we know their
moral standards. We visited their church. We have his books; we met their
ministers who represent his doctrines. They visited us and presented his
doctrines to us. According to his
beliefs, morality is not observed. The women can dress immorally. If your
name is on the Book of Life, no one can take if off. That is the important
thing, he claims. You are predestined to life and no one could prove now, who
are predestinated and who are not. Jesus
said, Ye shall know these false prophets by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-16). His fruits alone are sufficient to expose him as
a false prophet and a false Christ, let
alone his heresies.
His ministry compares to that of the other eighth
messengers: intellectualisms, compromising the moral standards of the message,
claiming higher and greater revelations than the messenger, big followings, and
their approach and manner of propagating their doctrines. His end will
therefore be the same.
FALSE APOSTLES
An apostle is one who is sent by God, and who is set
before a prophet (not the messenger) in the church of God: I Corinthians 12:28 “And God
hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets”. A false
apostle therefore, is one who acclaims himself, and usurps such authority
without being genuinely called of God to do so, even to the point of exalting
himself above the prophet messenger of the age.
There are some who do not openly claim that they are
eighth messengers or Christ etc., but they indicate that they are someone special, specially gifted to
interpret the Bible and even show where
certain teachings of the prophet Brother Branham, were not inspired, which
is borne out in their books and by their teachings. It is either they are too
afraid, or pretendingly humble to state their claims as prophets, Christ, or
son of man revealed; but the essence of their very ministry, teachings, emblems
of Dove leading Eagle, and other projections, indicates such self exaltations.
We will now examine the claims of a pastor and apostle from Singapore (Brother R.L.S.G) we came in contact
with in recent times. He has a book ministry, and has followings in Malaysia,
Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Kenya. His books are entitled-“prophetic
revelation”. His claims and doctrines were carefully examined, and we found
them similar to that of many eighth messengers, along with their method of
propagating their doctrines by their
aggressive spirits.
This man who claims to be a believer of this
message, proclaims himself an apostle, and that God called him as a watchman and an apostle, to restore the apostolic
foundation of the sure Word of God in the church. He said that this was revealed to him in a spiritual
dream, which the dream further revealed that his position, ministry and
calling would be “the first prize”,
which he interpreted as being a top position in the ministry that he would
hold. He said that the followers of Malachi 4 do not have a proper foundation,
because they have substituted the Word for the quotations of Brother Branham.
Quote: “God has reaffirmed my prophetic teaching ministry, and has called me,
as an apostle, to do the work of ‘restoring’ the apostolic foundation…Right
in these last days, many Endtime Message churches, too, do not have a proper
foundation or have a shattered one at best. The condition is caused by adding
to, or taking away from, the sacred Word and substituting the statements / quotes of Brother Branham for the Word”.
(The Foundation and the Wall pages 37,49).
Comparing this with the Word of God, neither Paul,
Brother Branham or any of the Apostles were ever called by a dream, but were
supernaturally called by a burning bush experience, by meeting the pillar of
fire and being sent and commissioned by God. The foundation of the early church
was laid by the Apostle Paul, the first prophet messenger, who said: “As a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the
foundation” (1Cor.3:10), and that
said Word foundation has already been restored by Brother Branham, the last
church age messenger, God’s restoration
Elijah, Malachi 4:5-6, Matthew 17:11, Revelation 10:7, and all the saints
that have gone on are resting on that. Quote: “Maybe this ministry that I have tried to take people back to the Word has
laid a foundation.” (Seventh Seal page 567). "I said, "Then if Paul makes it, I will too, because I
preached the same thing he did, without compromising on one word. And all
them people screamed out, we are resting assure on that." (Jehovah Jireh
pt.3 03/08/60).
After having this dream, he was told by discernment, by an evangelist from California U.S.A., by
the name of Ernest Hawtin, that he has an apostolic ministry, and the time
had come for him to move. He began his first missionary trip, he said, at the age of 33. Quote: “He began to discern the people in the
church…and pointed at me and said, “Brother…you
have an apostolic ministry. The time is come for you to move…when the word
of knowledge was given by the Spirit of the Lord, I knew that was my answer
from God.”…“To whom am I sent: I may
not be an apostle to some people, but I am surely one to those true believers,
who would receive me, for they are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord (cf.1
Cor.9:2).” (The foundation and the wall-
pages 50, 51).
There is a way that an apostle is identified. The
scriptures speak of the signs of an apostle: “Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds” (1Cor.12:12). An apostle means a sent one. All and every
true apostle that is sent of God must have the signs and vindication of an
apostle, or he is found to be a false apostle that was sent of Satan. This self
proclaimed apostle has not these vindications and signs working in him, and
clearly states, Quote: “The vindication
that William Branham had were vindications
to his calling as a church age messenger fulfilling the scriptures of
Mal.4:5-6, Rev. 3:14, Lk. 17:30. If
another minister has the same vindications as William Branham then both would have fulfilled the same calling
of the same scriptures. Then we would have two messengers to the same age.”
(Hearing they hear not page 31).
Such poor excuses cannot explain away John 14:12 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the
works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do;
because I go unto my Father”, Mark
16:17-18 “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall
they 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”, Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ
the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever”, but exposes false Christs and
false prophets, even as jannes and Jambres when they could not duplicate the
creative supernatural works of Moses.
His teachings are
as follows: (1) He believes in prehistoric man. Quote: “Perhaps the serpent was like prehistoric
man, maybe better looking, who existed long before modern man- the present
Adamic race – was created some 6,000 years ago.” (The original sin page 14).
God created man (Adam) in his image. There was no
other man before him.
(2) “Adam was not created to be a
tiller of the ground. A son of God is not created to toil; he is a child of
God. The Serpent-kind was created to be
subjected to him to do the tilling.” (The original sin-page 47).
God intended
that Adam be a tiller of the ground, for the scripture said that there was not a “man” (not serpent) to till the ground”(Gen. 2:5).
(3) “Mendel’s Law states that “every individual is the sum total of the
Characteristics in its two immediate progenitors”…Cain, the son of the Serpent, inherited a part of Eve’s nature, the
nature of the Spirit of God which was in Adam.” (The original sin-page 27).
The Bible said in 1John 3:12 that Cain was of that wicked one. The Bible is not interpreted by Mendel’s
law, but by Amos 3:7, Mal. 4, Rev. 10:7, the prophet messenger that God
sends for each age. Brother Branham said: “If Cain was the son of Adam, which
was a son of God, where did that evil come from?…He hated; he was a murderer;
he was jealous…Cain was the nature of
his father…That nature could not
come out of that pure seed. It had to come out of this perverted
stream.”(Hebrews part 1 29/11/53).
(4) “The two trees are two laws
which govern the sexual reproductive organ which is found in the middle
part of the human body (the garden).” (The original sin-page 61).
God made every natural tree in Eden to grow out of
the ground. These two trees, however, were spiritual. The tree of life was
Christ, and the tree of death was the devil. Quote: “There were TWO trees in
the midst of the garden. The Tree of
Life was Jesus. The other tree is definitely Satan” (Church Ages page 102).
(5) “it was the intention of God that
they would bring forth “seeds after their kind” by physical union. Sexual union
was intended that the two shall
be one flesh (Genesis 2:24)…procreation was His primary objective, not sexual pleasure. Adam and Eve were
supposed to come together in sexual
union only in the due season of life
to partake of that Tree of Life, which would bring forth sons and daughters
of God which God had desired…According
to the divine plan of God, Adam and
his wife were expected to come together at the appointed time and season of
life to eat of the Tree of life in the midst of the garden. The effect of such partaking would bring
forth sons and daughters of God with eternal life.” (The original sin-page
62,29).
If sex was the right way, then why did Christ come
by the virgin birth? Brother Branham said: “Just like in the beginning, it was not God's perfect will for children
to be born on the earth through sex. No, sir. God created man out of the
dust of the earth. That was God's first
and original will. But when sin come in, then He permitted man to marry a
wife legally and have children by her…But,
you see, it never was His perfect will. (Does God change his mind 18/4/65).
(6) “We don’t
even need the Branhamites to help us
build for they are also our adversaries.”
(The Foundation and the Wall page 16).
(7) Brother Branham is not a
prophet, he was only addressed as one. Quote:
“Bro. William Branham was not a prophet in the
5-fold ministry…He was a messenger but he was addressed as a “prophet” because the word “prophet” was commonly associated with an
outstanding and gifted servant of the Almighty God like the Old Testament
prophets.” (Speak the Word page 27).
Malachi 4:5-said: “Behold I will send
you Elijah the prophet”. Brother
Branham said: “The seventh angel has to be a prophet for the Word of God to come to”
(The Breach 1963).
(8) “A new order had been
established because a new covenant was made.
In the Old Testament time the Prophets were God’s spokesmen. They revealed and
interpreted God’s Word. However, in
the New Testament, the apostles were the ones who revealed and interpreted
God’s Word…hence we see that the revelation and the interpretation of God’s
Word came through the apostles to the church.”(Speak the Word pgs. 11,12).
“In the Old Testament time, God used a ‘one man’
ministry – the prophets – to proclaim his
Word, a choice made after the event at Mount Sinai…That was why the Word
came only to the prophets.. But in
the age of grace, a new administrative order has been introduced and the
apostolic ministry is placed above that of the prophetic ministry. The Word now
comes to the apostles.” (The Foundation
and the Wall page 33).
There were many prophets in the New Testament, and also those who were
prophesied to come: (Acts 13:1,Acts 11:27,Acts 15:10,32,1Cor. 12:28, Eph. 4:11,
Lk.11:49, Rev.11:3,10, ). God does not change his mind about His Word.
According to Amos 3:7, the Word of God comes only to the prophet. The reason
why the Word came to the apostle Paul is because he was both apostle and
prophet. Quote: “He (Paul) was not only an apostle, he was a prophet”.
(Testimony of William Branham 10/5/53).
“In the Bible the prophets, the Word came to the prophets in the days of
old. Now, the prophets were seers,
Divine seers. And at the change of the dispensations from law unto grace, did
not change God sending still, prophets.
For in the New Testament we find prophecy went on just the same. And also prophets
went on just the same.” (Why so hard to
live a Christian life 3/3/57).
“God has no other way of bringing out His
Scriptural revelations except by a prophet. The Word always came by a prophet and always will. That this is the law of God is evident by even a casual search of
Scripture. The unchanging God with unchanging ways invariably sent His prophet
in every age where the people had strayed from Divine order.” (C/Ages pg. 324).
It is evident
that this so-called apostle’s teachings are in direct conflict to that of the
messenger and the scriptures.
(9) The
revelation for the apostolic age came to the church collectively and progressively
over a period of time by several apostles.
This is evident by the twenty-seven epistles written in the New Testament by
the apostles. As a
result of this new order, in essence, gifted apostles can add to the message of
the hour. They can also add to the written Word of God, because the written Word of God is the letter.
Quote: “The
revelation of God is being progressively revealed to God’s people even though
we have the Bible – the written
Word…They would
claim that they hold to the Bible (containing the 66 canonical books) as the
authority and revelation of God to mankind and that they believe nothing is to
be added to or subtracted from it.
Such people would usually brush off and consider to be false any “revelation”
which they never heard of…An anointed man of God will speak the Word – a
message from God – to God’s people. He will not deliver a string of quotes from
some religious books or even the Scriptures; for such are only written laws of
a religious order. (Speak the Word, pages7,12,13,20).
Brother Branham said: “You can't go under a group of men. I defy anytime that it ever went--God ever did use a group of men. He
uses one man (It's exactly.), one man at a time, 'cause two men's got' two
opinions. One man. It's exactly right. Notice now every dispensation it's been
that way; all the way down through, it's been that way every time.” (Endtime
evangelism 3/6/62).
(10) When he left a
denominational church to follow this message, six other men left with him. Quote: “The Thunders are here today, waiting for the anointing from the Lord
to begin their ministry. May we be found ready when the Seven Men (Thunders) utter
their voices for the change of our bodies and then the going home of the Bride
to glory.”…”The Seven Thunders
(7anointed men of God) will utter forth the very words that the apostle
John heard in the vision on the isle of Patmos but was not allowed to record
down. It’s a spoken Word ministry.” (Speak the Word pages 51,36).
He identifies these seven men with the seven eyes of
Zechariah 4:8-10, which Brother Branham said represented the Seven Church age
messengers.
After careful
study, and examination, we found his doctrines to be heretical, damnable, and
contrary to the message of the messenger and the scriptures, we therefore exposed them
for what they are. He received our
Exposition of Damnable Heresies books, which exposed some of his claims and
doctrines in a very effective way. He
came in direct conflict with it, rejected it and vehemently opposed and
defended himself as a chosen one. However, he
met with strong opposition by the Spirit, the Word, and revelation of the
message of the hour. The Word prevailed, and this heretic and his heresies were
defeated as he was further exposed and challenged by a letter from the
preacher who had previously exposed those heresies on “Exposition of Damnable
Heresies Book 2, Articles 15 & 16”.
The following are the main points of opposition of
Apostle R.L.S.G. from Singapore, by a
letter published on his internet website
(http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/8081), under the title “Lies
of Dalton Bruce”, (which you can refer to if you need more information), and in
contrast, the further expositions that were meted out to him by letter.
He accused the preacher of twisting his words, and in so doing, make him a false
teacher, denied attacking the
prophethood of Brother Branham, and accused the minister of making Brother
Branham his absolute, and having no fear of God when he places the prophet’s
message on equal basis with the scriptures. He accused us of being Branhamites,
of holding the message to closely, and indicated that the minister who exposed
his heresies was a Caucasian rascal from Connecticut U.S.A., and stating that
he rebutted these lies, which he has on tape, and issued a challenge to the
preacher and all ministers.
His letter was replied to, which he again responded,
failing to pick up the challenges to defend his claims by the scriptures and
message, line upon line and precept upon precept. His defense was that
“apparently the preacher does not see his faults, seems to be emotionally
upset, and that he don’t have to defend the opposition, stating that he had
already refuted these lies, which he has on tape. He denied that he was Joshua,
and said that he knows that the preacher wouldn’t change his mind because he
takes Brother Branham’s message as his absolute, that the message was only a
wake up call but cannot perfect the Bride, and that the preacher was twisting
his (The apostle) words. As a result, we have given several quotations listed
above, made reference to his website where readers can compare his claims, and
know if the preacher is twisting his words, or if this apostle is twisting
Brother Branham’s words.
Note, in his letters, the aggressive attitude of
this apostle, and his bitter, disrespectful, arrogant, unrepentant and hateful
spirit against “Branhamites”, as he so rudely termed the message believers,
even as the Nicolaitan men who lack Christian decency and common everyday
manners, which they display by their fruits. Compare his letters with a
Christian spirit manifested in the letters of reply from the preacher, where
respect was shown to his office, called him “brother”, treated him with love,
entreating him to turn from his error, and proving by the Word and the message,
line upon line, that he is wrong.
He did not have the decency to address this preacher
as brother, but seemingly signed him off as an unbelieving Branhamite, beyond
hope. We are convinced that this man knows that he is in error and needs to repent
of his heresies, but tries to retain his integrity before his ardent apostles
and preachers in Africa and other places, especially in the Philippines where
they regard him as holding the Joshua ministry, evident by letters that they
wrote to us, highly commending “Expositions Books”, except for the questions on
Articles 15 & 16 of Heresy Book 2, which brought this mighty apostle and
his heresies into full view of all message believers. The following is a copy
of the letter to apostle R.S.L.G.:
7th November 2001
Dear Pastor and Apostle Richard, Gan.
Greetings to you in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. My humble apologies to you, Brother, I did not
mean to upset your spirit. Especially by the description you, document of me by
Prophetic discernment that I am from the U.S.A CT. and the white preachers are
renegades and rascals as their forefathers. Please overlook, the color of my
skin, I am not a racist. My sincere intentions are to only expose heresies for
the edification and deliverance of God's children in bondage. I try to identify
the origin of a heresy by quoting the place or books of its origination, not
desiring to identify preachers names until it become necessary.
Seeing that you have identified yourself in defense of Articles 15,16, Book .2 Exposition of Damnable Heresies (Mamba Snake at the Jordan), I am left without an option other than to reply to your article on your website entitled " Lies of Dalton Bruce". I purpose to do so with all respect to you as a misguided brother who stands in need of deliverance with all that follow your teachings. I bear in mind that even heretics are God's children but prove their election by being admonished against their heresies once or twice (Titus 3:10-11).
I noticed, Brother, that you have
evaded expositions of your doctrines by labeling articles No. 15,16
as " Lies" and by requesting believers to read and compare both our
writings as a challenge to my exposition. You psychologically pinpointed
two articles of which you pleaded not guilty, but have evaded the greater
points of Expositions. Your challenge lacks sincerity by denial of
your published doctrines and also by failure to disprove my exposition by
the Word of God and the Message of the hour. My refutations were in no uncertain terms, stating your
claims and exposing them one by one in a Scriptural order. I expected from you
as an Apostle to take up my challenge in a more constructive manner, prove that
your claims are justified in Scriptures and the Message of Mal 4:5-6, but here you hid your claims by saying
"Lies of Dalton Bruce". I feel, Brother, that is very premature of an
Apostle or that you are not certain of your office claims and doctrines.
May I admonish you, please tell your followers the truth,
that God never revealed those things to you but that you fabricated them by
your superior intellectual knowledge and a national superiority complex of your
country Singapore. Repent! Humble yourself! Save your soul and all who
believe you and such heresies! Neither of us is anything special as
Apostles, Prophets, Logos in flesh, Christ, Son of man Revealed, 8th
messengers, and Joshua etc. The placing of the sons (adoption,) is yet to
take place. If there were not doubts in your heart about
your office claims and doctrines, you would not have tried
to cover them by saying "Lies of Dalton Bruce", but
you would have published them plainly on the Internet. Be honest,
Brother! If you are backing up upon your claim, why not humble yourself and
back down from such heresies all the way and save yourself and others? None can read your message “ Speak the Word”
and possibly not conclude that you are guilty, of not cunningly attacking the
Prophet-hood of Brother Branham and likewise the Prophet- hood of Jesus, by
saying they were Prophets for the Old Testament but only Apostles for the New
Testament. Also that you stated more revelation is progressively coming by
Apostles to be added to the Word and message you proved yourself guilty of
adding to the written word which is evident by heretical teachings
therefore. It's abundantly clear from your literature
that you preach and establish: doctrines that’s contrary to the message as
follows.
1.
Amos 3:7
is limited to the Old Testament
2. There's
no real Prophet for the New Testament; Brother Branham was an Apostle but only called a Prophet.
3. New Testament order is that God uses a group
of Apostles to collectively and progressively, bring the full Revelation.
4. That
you are an Apostle in direct contact with the Logos,
5. That you
are manifesting the 3rd pull temporarily
6. 7 men are to reveal the Seven Thunders and each man is a Thunder.
7. Indicated
that the “ Tent” is spiritual and not literal.
Exposition Book 2, Articles 15,16 simply
state that there is no foundation for such blatant heresies. The only way that
you could try to force-fit yourself into the word is to discredit Amos 3:7
limiting it to the Old Testament and formulate a new heretical order of a group
of Apostles which automatically brings you and your Apostles into the picture
of uttering Prophetic Revelations. The articles further state that you have
denied the very system and foundation of the Old Testament and the New Testament,
of God using one Prophet at a time and not groups of men. This undeniable fact
is evident by Mal 4:5 “Behold I send unto you Elijah the Prophet”. To establish your Prophetic
Revelations and the Magnificent Seven, you have indicated that not all of the
Prophetic Revelations of Brother Branham are inspired of God and must not be
taken as the absolute. You indicate that you are dealing directly with the
Logos Christ with the Joshua Commission plus, to correct those errors and
uninspired teachings. The proof of such deeds of the Nicolaitans is your
attempted destruction of Amos 3:7 upon which the Prophet built his entire
Ministry and message. Also in direct perversion of his teachings on Church
Ages, page 324 and his interpretation of Zechariah Chaps: 3; 4; you fitted your
doctrine of 7 men for 7 Thunders. Those who recognize the Prophetic Revelations
of Brother Branham as the infallible message of Christ, you have branded as
“Branhamites”. Are you not embarrassed, Brother? Ashamed to help the harlot
churches to persecute the message believers?
The spirit of antichrist formulated that title of reproach,
“Branhamites”, to discredit Brother Branham, his message and believers. I am
sure that an Apostle like you is not ignorant of this fact. Shame on you, Brother!
Repent! Your purpose of joining the
organizations to persecute believers for this idolatrous title, “Branhamites”
is simply because they don’t recognize your Joshua ministry based upon
perverted teachings, some of which I mentioned earlier. Upon this same basis,
you branded articles No. 15,16 Book 2 Exposition as “Lies”. It is not, but it’s
the love of God to you and sincere people that are bewitched by your satanic
delusion and misconceptions of the Scriptures and infallible message of William
Branham to the intent that you all may repent.
If you have not changed the Word and message of Mal. 4
to accommodate your heresies, I hereby challenge you to disprove my Exposition
of your heresies No 15,16 line up the Words and the teaching of Mal. 4 side by
side in an orderly manner. You cannot take up that challenge as it will further
expose you as an unbeliever in the whole inspired message of William Branham,
which you only believe in part. Thus you evaded Exposition by saying “Lies of
Dalton Bruce”, “Branhamites”. I am sorry, Brother Gan, but I refuse to
acknowledge you as Joshua, your heresies as the Seven Thunders and the faceless
Magnificent Seven as God’s group of Apostles to lead the Bride into the
Rapture. I would rather be called a “Branhamite” than lose out on eternal Life.
I know that according to your Prophetic Revelations, I will be written of as a blasphemer, fulfilling Hebrew 6:4-6, Hebrews 10:26, since I have rejected the only truth to take me in the Rapture. Brother, if you don’t repent of your heresies and if you have not yet attained to the crowning heights of delusion of the False anointed ones (Matt 24:24), I predict that you would soon proclaim yourself to be the Logos, Christ, veiled in flesh, revealed as Son of Man, White Eagle, White Horse rider and the second Coming of Christ, veiled in human flesh. May the Lord grant you repentance to the acknowledgement of the truth is my prayer. Your Servant Dalton Bruce.
10th December 2001
Christian greetings to you, Brother, Apostle and Prophet Richard
Gan
Thank you for your tapes which arrived recently. I
listened to them attentively and must
confess that I understand your motives and objectives better by your
declarations, that you studied only 100 messages / you don’t dovetail the
message of W.M.B but the Bible / you don’t preach from the tapes but from the
word / Those who stays with the tapes
of W.M.B are “Branhamites”/ Trinitarians
should not be called “Heretics!”/ That you can add to the message since all the mysteries are not revealed / quotations of W.M.B as answers to
your questions you throw into the garbage /
The gospel left U.SA and came into Asia. / You were called by a dream to
restore the twelve foundations stones as God’s apostle ./ Don’t want Branhamite
to build with you / Many tumbled after opposing you / 7 men are to receive the 7 thunders, they are the thunders and
not really apostles.
I perceived by such declarations that you are called as the
chief apostle after W.M.B to lead the bride and correct all errors on his
message, to oppose you and your revelation is to oppose Christ, the word, and
the logos resulting in not going in the rapture but to hell and the lake of
fire.
I can also well
understand the way you felt before your
followers by heretical article 15,16-
bk. 2. I am sorry that you had to suffer such things. You further identified
yourself with those heresies, while I concealed your name. But I am yet
interested in your deliverance with those who follow your heresies. A drowning
man holds on to a straw. On your tape I heard fear, Lack of confidence, and
your labourings to win confidence, and to convince your followers, that the
word of exposition is wrong. Such things are not achieved by Making wild
accusations against me such as, a white renegade, from Ct. U.S.A./ I am based upon the quotes of W.M.B and not
the word. / I preach the 7 stars as the 7 thunders revealed. / I regard the
message of W.M.B above the bible.
Those things are not true brother Gan, I perceive that you
are so anxious to evade exposition before your followers and hold up your image
before them as the chosen apostle of God after W.M.B that you did not see the
word and message supporting the books, our writings evidently clarify these
wild accusations that you nervously uttered. I forgive you brother. I can willingly excuse you Apostle Gan seeing
your knowledge is limited on the message of Mal.4. To hear 100 tapes on the
message with your conception, motives and objectives, especially to discern and
correct the errors of the major Prophet W.M.B is to formulate an Interpretation
on the bible and message that damns the souls of men to hell and the lake of
fire. Turn from such diabolical deceiving power sir, save yourself and the
souls of sincere Ministers and congregations
who believes you. For your
information I am based upon the word first and second the message. / The
message is not the bible. / The 7 Thunders
was not revealed in 1963 (Seals Pg 567-576)
Concerning your questions, what is the message? If W.M.B
revealed all the mysteries, what is the mark of Cain? Where is Eden? What is
the sin of hell? What is New Jerusalem? And few others. Bro. Branham explained
several of them on tapes, but you may throw such quotations into the garbage,
as you promised, nevertheless the mystery of God promised to be revealed
through the church age messenger were those declared by the Prophets (Rev:10:7)
visions, dreams, prophecies, doctrines and parables which held the mystery of the
revelation of Christ. The entire bible was written to reveal Christ the mystery
of God. Therefore where was Eden, the lost Atlantis, the out ward mark of Cain,
Dinosaurs, leviathan and the many facts and important information lost through
out history are not included. If you are the chief apostle to finish the
mysteries, please answer the mysterious questions God asked to job in chapters
38 to 41
Your argument against heretical articles Nos. 15 &16 of Exposition of Damnable
Heresies Book 2, is weaker than broth made from the shadow of a chicken that was half starved to death.
I tried to help you, as a brother, out of your errors, but
you seem set in your ways, with your own interpretations and message on the
Bible: despising, changing, and contradicting almost all the major doctrines of
the Bible and the message of Brother Branham. Yet, when you are exposed, you
try to slide out of it by denying your own projections, which are clearly
understood from your cunning words and writings, which you so designed to
escape from exposition by the Holy Spirit.
However I must compliment you on your prophetic discernment
of me as a “white renegade from Connecticut U.S.A, and also for having my last
letter on your Internet. You are bolder than a lion, I must admit, with your
nonsensical doctrines, and is astoundingly shameless of perverting the message
and the written Word of God.
I expect that you would be embarrassed to
acknowledge your doctrines on the Internet stated here on this letter which are
taken out of your books, many of them in direct quotations, since you are so
evasive of your own teachings. They are as follows:-
(a) If another
minister has the same vindications as William Branham then both would have
fulfilled the same calling of the same scriptures.
(b) Perhaps the
serpent was like prehistoric man, maybe better looking, who existed long before
modern man- the present Adamic race – was created some 6,000 years ago.
(c) Cain, the son
of the Serpent, inherited a part of Eve’s nature, the nature of the Spirit of
God
(d) It was the
intention of God that they would bring forth “seeds after their kind” by
physical union. Sexual union was intended that the two shall be one flesh
(e) We don’t even need
the Branhamites to help us build for they are also our adversaries.
(f) Bro. William Branham was not a prophet in the
5-fold ministry…He was a messenger but he was addressed as a “prophet.
(g) In the Old
Testament time the Prophets were God’s spokesmen. They revealed and interpreted
God’s Word. However, in the New Testament, the apostles were the ones who
revealed and interpreted God’s Word.
(h) The apostolic
ministry is placed above that of the prophetic ministry. The Word now comes to
the apostles.
(I) After the fall, Polygamy was
introduced by Lamech (a serpent seed) and not
by God or his children, but God
allowed it.
(J) A covenant of polygamy was not introduced after the fall. The
covenant that was made was that the man would rule the woman (Genesis 3:16).
(K) The
prophets of the Old Testament each had one wife.
(L) A woman
could remarry if her husband divorces her for sexual uncleanness (Deut.24:1-2),
but if she was illegally put away and remarries, she would be guilty of adultery.
(M) In Christ
Jesus, there is no preference of the man over the woman, therefore, not only
the man could remarry,
(N) If a
woman’s unbelieving husband departs, she can remarry according to 1 Corinthians
7:15.
(O) Mixed marriage is not a sin, nor is it unscriptural, it can be
practiced amongst believers
(P) God never ordained polygamy; Jesus did not sanction polygamy,
neither did he condemn it, but discouraged it. Paul never encouraged it.
(Q) The Serpent was a household servant to
Adam. Adam was not created to till the
ground. The serpent was his servant, and he was to do the tilling. Adam was to
do his tilling through his servant
serpent because it was not God’s
intention that a Son of God should work hard.
(R) The
serpent and the seed of the serpent were tillers of the ground. Adam’s linage
were mainly shepherds.
(S) Noah’s
wife was either a Cainite or a hybrid, therefore Noah had to go through the
tribulation of the flood because he was unequally yoked in marriage
(T) Seth and
Japheth possessed serpentine traits which they inherited genetically from their
mother.
(U) The Tree
of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, were two laws that
governed sexual relationship, either for pleasure or reproduction.
(V) Genesis
4:26 means that men began to profanely call upon the Name of the Lord.
(W) All men
today are traced back to Noah’s three sons for the inheritance of their satanic
traits.
(X) No literal
and physical serpent seed exist today, for all died in the flood.

Chief
Apostle Gan though you have established many heresies, and God knows how
many souls you have damned, I believe that there is room at the cross for you.
I admonish you to humble your heart , tell your followers that you are wrong
and that the message of Mal.4 Is right. Have mercy upon your soul and of all
who follow you. Repent brother or you will perish!
Titus:3:10-11 “ A man that is an heretick after the first
and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted and
sinneth, being condemned of himself.”

Apostle Gan stated in his third letter,
that the preacher was angry, sarcastic, wrote foolishly, off the mark of the
Word, he don’t need help, he is not the chief apostle, since there is no
scripture for a Chief Apostle, and demanded scriptures for it. He also demanded
quotations for the mark of Cain, Eden and the sin of Ham.
We will leave such accusations
concerning the above letter for the judgment of our readers to discern who is
angry and sarcastic; he opened all his letter without any christian manners,
Quote: “I have your letter”. The preacher replied as follows:
15th
December 2001
Dear Brother, Pastor, Apostle and
Prophet Richard Gan,
Thank
you for your E-mail letter dated 13th December 2001. I perceive that
you are outraged by a list of your own doctrines,
which made up most of my letter dated
10th December 2001. It is with great joy that I have received
your remarks against your own doctrines, calling it foolishness. I did not see my letter on your internet website. Are
you trying to hide your doctrines? Indeed Apostle Gan, you are
seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
It is very sad to understand that a learneded man like
you don’t know where to find in your Bible, the words “chief apostles”. I will
refer you to the scriptures for your edification. Is there a higher apostle
than Jesus Christ? (Hebrews 3:1). Corinthians 12:11, "I am become a fool
in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you:
for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles. Maybe your arrogancy,
anger and temper fit caused you to overlook it. Such an attitude has
disqualified you from the apostolic office which you so proudly claim.
Do you want quotations for the mark of Cain, Eden, Ham’s
sin etc., to throw them in your garbage can as you promised? Search the
quotations of Brother Branham on the subject of the mark of the Beast. If you
could first answer my questions on Job chapters 38-41, then will I give you the
answers to the other questions you are asking.
I said that
Revelation 10:7 did not include such irrelevant mysteries of Leviathan, lost
Atlantis, nor Richard Gan as an apostle, and if you are called to reveal such
mysteries, start with the above chapters that I mentioned. I perceive that you
are set in your ways, and you cannot convince the dumbest Branhamite, that you
are not perverting the message of Brother Branham and the sriptures, and are
working towards its total destruction and trying to exalt yourself above the
stars of Heaven. Be it known to you sir, that none of the apostles in the Bible
ever contradicted each other upon doctrinal truths, therefore you have proven
yourself a false apostle and a deceitful worker (2 Corinthians 11).
I don’t argue with a preacher who is so high and lofty and
bent on preaching heresies. Thus, this will be my final letter, and you will
hear from me in another form, together with the public and followers of this
message, because you have refused the word of deliverance from your satanic
bondage. Amen.
Mr. Dalton
Bruce
Your
Servant.
May I call your attention to the
identification of a false prophet, outlined both by our Lord Jesus Christ and
Brother Branham. Jesus warned of false prophets, also told us how to identify
them: “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruits. Wherefore
by their fruits ye shall know them (Matthew 7:16-19). In other words, what those two prophetic trees produce, vindicated the kind of
tree they are.
FALSE PROPHETS ARE
IDENTIFIED AS FOLLOWS:
A.
Their teachings are
contrary to the written Word of God. They pervert the Gospel (2 Cor. 11) even as Balaam and his
teachings in opposition to Moses and his message (Rev. 2:14). They bring in
damnable heresies (2 Pet. 2:1).
B.
Their lives are unscripturally
corrupt even as Judas, who was a thief and murderer against Jesus and finally
betrayed Him for thirty pieces of silver.
C.
They cannot produce
pure-bred believers. ‘And many shall follow their pernicious ways
(lascivious doings) by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken
of.’ 2 Peter 2:3. ‘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 into fables.’
2 Timothy 4:3-4.
D.
Their prophecies do
not come to pass fully. (Jer. 28:9,15-17) Hannaniah prophesied falsely and
died for it. ‘When a prophet
speaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass,
that is the thing that the Lord hath not spoken; but the prophet hath spoken
presumptiously, thou shall not be
afraid of him. ‘(Deut. 18;21-22).
Prophets
are to prophesy, fortell the future, condemn sin and establish the truth and
righteousness. When they fail to meet the scriptural standard, they
are identified as false prophets. Thus, it not one man judging another, but God’s judgement by the written Word. Thus, if
a man claims to receive revelation from God and prophesy nothing of the future,
he is not a prophet but a false prophet
who is afraid to prophesy because of exposure. What have these false
prophets prophesied that came to pass? Nothing!
Using God’s standard of
identifying false prophets, we can understand the words of Jesus, ‘MANY false
prphets,..deceives MANY.’ (Matt. 24:11) because the net is drawn through every
religious body. They are weighed in the balance and found wanting. The seven
church ages started out with the antichrist spirit as well as the Holy Spirit
(1 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." Did you notice it? The antichrist
spirit is identified with false prophets. The ages came in with false prophets
and they will go out with false prophets. Now of course there is going to be a
REAL FALSE PROPHET in the grand sense of that man mentioned in the Revelation.
But as of now before his revelation there are to appear many false prophets…
Now in every case you will notice that a false prophet is one who is outside
the Word. Just as we showed you that 'antichrist' means 'anti-Word' so these
false prophets come perverting the Word, giving it a meaning that fits their
own devilish ends. Have you ever noticed how the people who lead others astray
bind them closely to themselves by fear? They say that if the people don't do
what they say, or if they leave, then destruction will follow. They are false
prophets, for a true prophet will always lead one to the Word and bind the
people to Jesus Christ and he won't tell the people to fear him or what he
says, but to fear what the Word says. Notice how these people like Judas are
out for money. They get you to sell all you have and give it to them and their
schemes. They spend more time on offerings than the Word. Those who attempt to
operate gifts will make use of a gift which has a margin of error in it and
then ask for money, and neglect the Word and call it of God. And people will go
to them, and bear with them, and support them, and believe them, not knowing it
is the way of death. Yes, the land is full of carnal impersonators. In that
last day they will try to imitate that prophet-messenger. The seven sons of
Sceva tried to imitate Paul. Simon the sorcerer tried to imitate Peter. Their
impersonations will be carnal. They won't be able to produce what the true
prophet produces.(Seven Church Ages page 329-331).
Apart
from prophets, apostles and eighth messengers, many ministers are claiming to
have the revelation of the Seven Thunders, which they proclaim that William
Branham revealed in 1963.
Some honest and sincere ministers admit that Brother Branham emphatically
stated on the Seven Seals book, pages 557-576, that the Seventh Seal and the
Thunders was not revealed, and this is very complimentary to their
understanding of what is written concerning the Seventh Seal, when compared to
other ministers who try to make the same articles say that the Seventh Seal and
Seven Thunders was revealed by Brother Branham. They are twisting his words out
of context, and ignoring paragraphs, which states that the Seventh Seal is not
revealed, quoting partially any phrase that seems to say that the seal was
opened, or that William Branham knew the revelation.
A most popular phrase that is taken out of context
is found on page 557 of the Seals Book. Quote: “I had the revelation that revealed it.” When that quotation is
taken in its proper context, it reads thus, “I
had the revelation that revealed-it’s
in a three fold manner”, which is simply understood that Brother Branham is
saying that he got the revelation that the Seventh Seal is in a three fold
manner, like all the other seals were in a three fold manner. Quote: “Now, I want you to notice tonight that in
the Sixth Seal there was a threefold purpose of the Sixth Seal. There was a
threefold purpose of the horse riders. There's
been a threefold purpose in all these things…Now, now, do you notice on the opening of this Seventh Seal, it's also
in a threefold mystery. (Seals
pages 574-575).”
Brother
Branham’s statement on page 557 is perverted by the removal of an apostrophe
“s”, which is much slicker than the serpent that had to add a three-letter
word, “not”. Ministers who claim the
revelation of the Seven Thunders can only supply proof that it came to them
after 1973, or they received it from some other revelator who received it
around that same time.
In defense
of the truth that the Seventh Seal and Seven Thunders was not revealed in 1963,
confirmed by Brother Branham and other honest ministers, we are asking:
(1) “Why only after 1973, and
why were there ten silent years?”
(2) From 1963 to 1965, why did
not Brother Branham highlight the subject seeing that it is the most important
revelation to the Bride of Christ, the capping off of his entire Elijah
ministry to produce rapturing faith for the translation of the Bride? Anyone
who honestly consider these questions and receive the answers can clearly
understand the folly and the impersonations of the true Seven Thunders
revelation, which is not yet broken to the public.
Some
heretically consider those ten years of silence to be a type of the half hour
silence,
which was broken after 1973. There is no scriptural nor message foundation for
such nonsense. Other ministers say that Brother Branham revealed the Seventh
Seal and Seven Thunders, which he left hidden in the Word, awaiting the right
time and season and for the Brides growth and maturity to receive the
revelation. It was to come to the five-fold ministry, progressively and
collectively, by several ministers, according to the growth and maturity of the
five-fold ministry, when the time and season was right. There is not one
quotation of Brother Branham that indicates or suggests such teachings, and
much less a statement that teaches that doctrine, because it is totally
contrary to the written Word, and God’s system. This is a heretical assumption,
since it cannot be found in the Word and the message.
Speaking
according to their theory, we ask the following questions:
a)
Who was the first preacher
that had grown up sufficiently to start receiving this Seven Thunders
revelation, and who were the second and third, and those that followed those
fortunate revelators?
b)
What offices do they hold?
c)
Are they in agreement with
each other?
d)
Do the Word and message bear
record of their revelation?
e)
How far back can you as a
Seven Thunders preacher trace the roots of your Seven Thunders revelation?
f)
And, how efficiently can you
trace it back to the original preacher, the most fortunate of all Thunders
preachers?
We have already considered
the first man who claimed to have received the revelation of the Seven
Thunders, and proved by the Word of God and the message of the hour, that he is
one of the greatest imposters of the twentieth century, and basically all other
preachers, directly or indirectly, trace back to his heresies, isms and cults
on the Seven Thunders.
The proofs that such Thunders preachers give to the
message world of Brother Branham having revealed the Seven Thunders are very
vague, meaningless, and lack revelation, and even common sense.
Quote: “We
find out over here in Revelations 10, "In the days of the Message of the
seventh angel, the mysteries of God should be finished," the Seventh
Seal would be
pulled back.” (Shalom 12/01/64).
“Have the seven
thunders which equals seven mysteries already been revealed? Were they revealed
in the seven Seals, but are yet not known to us as the thunders yet? No, they were
revealed in the seven Seals; that's what the thunders was about...But the
seventh angel, in the days of his sounding, the seven mysteries of the seven
thunders would be revealed." (Questions and Answers 30/8/64).
“He was trying
to catch me…And he said, "Well then, them seven thunders, "wouldn't
them seven thunders blasting out, won't that be a revelation be give to some
man?" I said, "No, sir, it would be adding something to It or taking
something from It." It's all revealed in there, and the seven seals opened
up the revelation of what that was.” (Unveiling of God 14/06/64).
And the most important quotation of these is found
on Church Ages pages 327-328: where Dr. Vayle taught that the Seventh angel was
to receive the Seven Thunders. Quote: “Now
this messenger of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things. One:
According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers.
Two: He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which
are the revelations contained in the seven seals. It will be these Divinely
revealed 'mystery-truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the
Pentecostal fathers.”
These
quotations are used to disannul, refute, and make of non-effect what Brother
Branham said in the actual opening of the Seventh Seal, under the greatest
anointing that he ever preached when he stated:
“So just
remember, the Seventh Seal, the
reason it was not opened, the reason
He did not reveal it, no one should
know about it.” (Seventh Seal page
564).
“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 and just what it said…I looked for the interpretation
that flew across there, and I couldn't make it out. That's exactly right,
friend. See? The hour isn't quite yet for it.” (Seventh Seal page 567).
“One of the
mystery of that Seal, the reason it
wasn't revealed, it was seven thunders that uttered their voices, and there
it is perfectly, because nothing
knows anything
about it; wasn't even written.”
(Seventh Seal page 568).
“The hour is not yet for this mystery to be known, therefore, we're this far and the
rest of it will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on
earth again for His Bride, because this great secret is so great that God
wouldn't even let John write it. It thundered out, but He promising us that it
would be opened, but to this time, it
isn't opened.” (Seventh Seal page 577).
“This Seventh Seal...We don't know what it is as
yet, because it's not permitted to be broken.” (Seventh
Seal page 578).
Taken from letter (1st December 2001), I
recently had reasons to answer a most humble question on substantiation of quotations,
which I will document partly as follows: -
“We want to call your attention to the irrefutable
fact that the Church Ages was preached in 1960. Therefore the statements made
on the Seals Book are more reliable because the seals were preached three years
later in 1963, when he dealt with the Seventh Seal and Seven Thunders as a
subject, under the greatest anointing he ever preached. He was explicitly conclusive that the seventh Seal was not revealed to
him, and that it was the Seven Thunders, which was in an unknown language.
Quote:
“And
in Sabino Canyon, He said, "This is the third pull." And there's
three great things that goes with it, and one unfolded today, or yesterday, the
other one unfolded today, and there's one thing that I cannot
interpret, because it's in an UNKNOWN
LANGUAGE.” (Seals Book page 564).
This
verification and the conclusion of the prophet, that the Seven Thunders was in
an unknown language
which he could not interpret, forms the basis of the following questions:
a)
When
did Brother Branham interpret the unknown language of the Seven Thunders?
b)
When
did Brother Branham preach the Seven Thunders?
c)
“When
did the Lord reveal to Brother Branham the unknown language of the Seven Thunders,
to mean that it is the divinely revealed truths held in the Seven Seals?”
d) When, where and from whom did the
Seven Thunders preachers receive the revelation of the Seven Thunders? Maybe
you can help me with these questions?
I have not found on tape, the time,
place, date and revelation of this most important event. Only such scriptural
and message proofs alone, are able to altar the conclusion of 1963 on the
subject of the Seventh Seal and Seven Thunders. An outline upon what is the
ministry of Malachi 4, Revelation 10:7, like quoting what the ministry of Moses
should be: (1) Call Israel out of Egypt, and (2) Take them to the promise
land, does not substantiate the claims
that the seven Thunders was revealed by the prophet, and is certainly inadequate
to altar his conclusion. The outline is documented by the Editor, but where is
the proof of the unknown language interpreted to mean “divinely revealed truths
of the Seven Seals? When? Where? And
what? If it is divinely revealed truths of the Seven Seals, why did he not
preach that revelation as the opening of the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders? What
was so secretive about it, seeing he had broadcast all six seals and their
revelation that very week? I can find on tape where he declared Seals one to four
as the antichrist, fifth Seal as the redemption of the Jews, and the sixth seal
as the Tribulation and judgment. What is the rapturing faith, translation
power, and Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders hidden in the six seals, or the messages
derived from the Seals, for example: Melchisedec, Marriage and divorce, etc.?
If the contents of revealed truths of the six seals are the Thunders, why did
not Brother Branham identify the Seventh Seal as such, and continue to do so,
but on the contrary further established that the Seventh seal/Seven Thunders
was not revealed nor preached even until his departure?
The prophet was under obligation to his church and all
message believers to declare that he, at a specific time, was given the
revelation of the thunders that was hidden from him in 1963 in an unknown
language, seeing that he concluded that it was not revealed, and the people
were in danger of making isms of the unopened Seventh Seal and Seven Thunders.
For William Branham to have such revelation of the unknown
language (Seven Thunders), and whisper it only to the editor, and have message
believers worldwide wait for the publication of the Seven Church Ages book is
not the scriptural order of a prophet. His scriptural policy was evidently
demonstrated on the subject of marriage and divorce, when he brought a
conclusive revelation as he promised, having previously taught the subject in
part. The time, place, date and revelation are identified. Why should the
greatest revelation, the Seven Thunders for rapturing faith, lack such
identifications? It was in no uncertain terms when he concluded that it was not
revealed in 1963.
Preachers in my region will answer those questions by
stating the following:
a)
It
was to throw off the people who are not elected.
b)
Brother
Branham preached it mysteriously under the Seals and messages after the Seals.
c)
He
said on questions and answers in 1964, that the Seven Thunders are revealed in
the Seven Seals.
Such answers do not address my questions. I am asking,
where on tape did Brother Branham alter his conclusion of 1963, and affirmed
that it was now revealed to him, thus message believers can disregard his 1963
conclusion? Also, that they can refer to his new message on tape, if any arise
with isms on the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders, and try to wind the believers off
the beaten track?”
If the
statement in the Church Ages was actually made by Brother Branham, it was corrected in 1963 at the opening of
the Seals, when he dealt with that subject of the Seventh Seal and Seven
Thunders. We cannot find on the Church Ages tapes, or any other tape, where
Brother Branham outlined that doctrine in that intellectual manner as Dr. Vayle
did in his editing of the Church Ages. Brother Branham said different to that
on other messages. Quote:
“Now, there's writing on the inside of the Book, "And in the
days of the voice of the seventh angel all this mystery
that's written within should be finished."… After it's
all done completed, then these seven thunder voices is the
only thing that is stuck to the Book, that's not revealed. It's not
even written in the Book. Oh, my. I wish I could get that to the people.”
(Sirs is this the time 30/12/62)
“The seventh angel was to open the six-seal mystery.” (Proving His Word 1964).
The Church Ages is stating that the seventh angel is to
reveal the Seven Thunders. Brother Branham said that he was to open the Six
Seal Mystery. It went further on to say that “the Seven Thunders are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals”
Brother
Branham said differently. Quote: “The Book
is absolutely a sealed Book until the Seven Seals is broken. It is sealed up
with Seven Seals. Now, that's different from the Seven Thunders.”(Seals
Book page 75).
While in questions and answers 30/08/64, when the same
question was asked him, he first said No! And afterwards in his excitement,
vaguely stated that it’s the same: People,
in their mad quest, bypass
a more complete statement
on
page 75 of the Seals Book, to hang their soul’s salvation
upon something vague and unexplained.
We also observe where the Church Ages said: “It will be these Divinely revealed
'mystery-truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the
Pentecostal fathers.” (Church Ages pages 327-328). In the light of this
doctrine, when were the hearts of the
children turned to the fathers, and what does it mean to turn the hearts of the
children to the fathers? Did this happen in 1963 when the Seven Thunders was
revealed, according to their doctrine? If so, what is the scriptural evidence
of the children’s heart being turned to the fathers? And if not, why was the
Thunders not seen, known and understood in the ten years of silence? If the
answer is after the ten years of silence, where is it taking place, and why are
there so many divisions on the Thunders revelation?
We notice according to scripture, when the fathers’
hearts were turned to the
children, there was one Lord, one faith, one baptism
and one body. Everybody knew where the Christian Church was located, their
doctrine, their unity, their power and manifestations. A book of Acts was being
written, five fold ministry was set in order, the saints of God were being
perfected according to Ephesians 4, they were not being tossed to and fro by
every wind of doctrine by the sleight of false anointed ones and their cunning
craftiness, and no man durst join himself to them, because of fear of the death
of Ananias and Sapphira.
I challenge
any Thunders preacher, eighth messenger, Christ or false anointed one, to show
me where there is such a body now upon the earth. They had better than
twenty-seven years of their thunders revelation to produce a church like the
day of Pentecost, which was the evident proof of the fathers’ hearts being
turned to the children. In this age, it is the same evidence of the children’s
hearts being turned to the fathers. This is sufficient to prove that all the
Thunders revelation that originated from New York, is heretical, including all
the Thunders revelations which can only be traced back to after 1973, and are
yet proclaimed without the promise
avindication of the Seven Thunders, which is the manifestation of creative power called the Third Pull. Therefore
all such prophets and revelators on the field today are impersonators, anointed
by the spirit of Jannes and Jambres, whose follies are being made manifest by
their false teachings, corrupted lives of adultery and fornication, and money
loving spirit which have bewitched many sincere souls by imparting their spirit
of Sodom and Gomorrah to them.
Based upon many statements of Brother Branham, we
would honestly admit that Brother
Branham lived in high expectation to get into his Third Pull ministry and
possibly reveal the Seven Thunders. But we state here emphatically, that the statements of 1963 in the opening of
the seals, was conclusive on the subject of the opening of the Seventh Seal and
Seven Thunders, in so much that brother Branham stated: “It may be the hour now, that this great
person that we're expecting to rise on the scene may rise on the scene.
Maybe this ministry that I have tried to
take people back to the Word has laid a foundation; and if it has, I'll be leaving you for good. There won't
be two of us here the same time. See? If it is, he will increase, I'll decrease.”(Seventh Seal page 567).
His conclusion
was: “It is not opened, I might be laying a foundation for another, don’t make
any isms,
and that it won’t be known, and cannot be broken to the public until that
specific time.” Quote:
“So I believe,
If we don't know it, and it won't be
knowed till that time, but it will be revealed in that day, in the hour that
it's supposed to be revealed in… Here now, we find that the Sixth Seal has
been opened to us; we see it, and we know that this Seventh Seal cannot be broke to the public until that hour arrives.”
(Seventh Seal page 576).
“The hour is not yet for this mystery to be
known, it will be known right
around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again for His Bride… And now, if this tape would happen to fall
into the hands of some persons somewhere,
don't try to make any kind of an "ism" out of it…it isn't opened.” (Seventh
Seal page 577).
From that time of 1963, Brother Branham never taught
that subject again, as additional proof that he gave his conclusion in 1963.
Whenever he spoke of the Seven Seals being opened, he was careful to insert a
clause, on many messages, that he was speaking of six seals being opened.
Quote:
“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 10/11/63).
The Lamb took His
Book when the Seventh Seal, just ready for it to be opened--the Sixth Seal.
Remember, He hid the Seventh Seal from us. He wouldn't do it. When the Angel stood day by day telling it, but
then He wouldn't do it on that one.” (Souls in Prison 10/11/63).
That Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you know; that's His coming. (Feast of the Trumpets 19/7/64)
Brother Branham’s 1963 conclusion on the Seventh Seal, Seven Thunders is the evident proof that he never revealed the Seven Thunders and hid it in the message as it is heretically taught by Seven Thunders preachers. It is evident by scriptures and by the message of the hour that such an important revelation is not left to be brought to the Bride of Christ progressively, collectively, proudly, fanatically, and contrary to God’s scriptural order of bringing any revelation to the church of God from Genesis to Revelation. If the revelation comes collectively and progressively by a five-fold ministry, then there was no need for Malachi 4, because the pastor, teacher and evangelist are on equal basis with the Apostle and prophet.
It is evident from
the 1963 conclusion on the Seven Thunders, that it was not time for the
revelation to be broken to the public, and if the people would know about it
God will send it again, because they have missed it. It was for the specific
time which was at the coming of Christ, because the Seventh Seal itself was to reveal the second coming
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And that's the
reason there was silence in heaven for a space of a half hour. And Seven
Thunders uttered their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it
(See?)--the coming of the Lord. That’s
one thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come.”
(Christ is the mystery 28/7/63).
I want to make myself very clear that I do not proclaim myself an eighth messenger, prophet, or a revelator, presently bringing the revelation of the Seven Thunders to the message world, nor do I know, or am affiliated with any one that is on the field today, who is broadcasting the Seven Thunders. I believe as the messenger Brother Branham, that the church of Christ should go on with the same plain message, and if God has anything for you, he will send it to you, or you will wind yourself off the beaten tract. Quote:
“Don't try to put your interpretation to it.
You only get further away. Just
take my advice, if you believe me now…Don't put your own interpretation to
anything. You just go on and live a good Christian life, 'cause you'll only
wind yourself away from the real thing when you do it…just let your testimony
be with love all the time with the people, 'cause if you don't you twist yourself out into something there,
and then you're 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 Seal becomes up in
front of you. Just don't try to interpret it. You just go ahead and just be
humble and go right on with the same plain message. You remember, I'm
saying this for your good.” (Q & A Seals).
Thus in conclusion, I emphatically state
with boldness and without fear, that all preachers, congregations, lay members,
Seven Thunders revelators, eighth messengers, son of man, and false anointed
ones that projects, preaches and, establishes the Thunders revelation which
trace back to after 1973 is deceived of Satan and the false anointed ones of
the end time, are off the beaten track and in utter disobedience have done
exactly what they were told not to do by Brother Branham, and have bewitched
the message world by multitudes of isms on the Seven Thunders and Seventh Seal.
Their only hope as elected children of God, mislead by the false anointed ones
of the end time, is repentance to God and forsaking these heresies. I believe
that God’s elect will do just that, and soon there will be one body and one
Bride produced by the revelation of
the true Seven Thunders and outpouring of the Holy Spirit, like the day of
Pentecost, to prepare the Bride for translation faith and the rapture. May the
Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be bestowed upon every elected soul, and may we
enter into that translation faith together at that specific time that God has
ordained for the elected Bride. Amen. The
Fifth Division which we are about to
consider, is entirely different from the other four Doctrinal Divisions, which
are Heretical Articles, but the Fifth Division is not a heresy, therefore it
does not carry a Heretical Number.
“In these last days the true Bride Church will come to the Headstone, and she will be the super church, a super race…He will now fulfill through the Bride that work which he left for this specific time.”
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.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you:
Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth
not."
I want to speak on, "Believers of God's
Promises Versus False Anointed Ones." And I want to make myself very
plain, not knowing where this tape will reach. I believe the hour is swiftly
approaching when the World is going to hear the truth, the true revelation of
the Message of Brother Branham. I feel it in the air. We feel it in our very
system. Before that Outpouring in 1906, the people were moved of the Lord and
they sensed in their spirits, that something was about to happen. I believe
with such a great Outpouring of the Holy Ghost that we are promised in the
Scriptures, somebody's spirit got to be having some sort of an understanding
that something is getting ready to happen. We cannot get away from it. We are
believers of the Promise of God. All His promises.
God sent us a mighty Prophet, Malachi 4, he sent
that Prophet before the days of the burning of the Earth. He did a mighty work
like Paul: preached the Gospel and made the Bible live, came forth with a
Revival from 1946, which lasted for fifteen years. Many great things were
promised of the Lord to be fulfilled in his Ministry. We believe our Brother
Branham was that "Elijah, the Prophet", beyond a shadow of a doubt.
We believe he was the anointed Elijah promised to come upon the face of the
Earth in the last days. We believe that he came and he went home, and we
believe he is rocking in his rocking chair after such hard labours.
The Ministry
of Elijah the Prophet for the end time was a Ministry of Restoration. It was to be the restitution of all things. And we
believe in full restoration. At the end of Brother Branham's Ministry all things were not restored. It is yet to
be restored. The Bride is to go back to Eden. We are to be restored to the
same kind of bodies that Adam and Eve had. I believe that the Church is yet to
be restored to the power of Pentecost and surpass Pentecost, back to Eden.
There were several promises in the Scriptures that
were left to be fulfilled after Malachi 4 departed this life, but that never
stopped the program of God and the Ministry of Restoration. The Man and the Ministry are two different
things. The Man is one but the Ministry that God gave him is another. And
after a man of God is used by God, he goes home, the Ministry continues to live, even because the Ministry is not his
own, but it is the Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. Judas was given a Ministry
and after being given that Ministry he sold it out for money. There was nothing
wrong with the Ministry.
The
Scripture says, "Let his 'bishopric' be taken and be given to
another." We learn that Judas' Ministry was passed on to Paul the
Apostle. So, even if a God-given Ministry is in a false Prophet, yet that
Ministry can be taken away and be given to another. In the case of William
Branham, God's Servant and Prophet,
full restitution was promised by the Ministry of Elijah today. It never came in
the person of William Branham, but the Ministry of William Branham - Elijah the
Prophet, which is the Ministry of Jesus Christ, will restore all things. We
believe that Ministry. The man is gone, but the Ministry is yet alive. We are
identified with the Ministry of Elijah. Elijah is to ride the trail again, even
after Brother Branham has gone on so long. This has caused much confusion
around the Message because they don't understand some things. They don't understand how Elijah will ride
the trail again.
I want to remind you here of the words of God's
little Servant. "This would never be
a one man invasion”. There is not going to be one single man that cross the
world and get the job done. it is going to take more than one. Yes. It is going
to take the Ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ in a many membered body. I
believe that. That is what we preach here for the past years. That is what we
established.
So now, the Prophet of God, Brother Branham, he knew
that there were many promises laying in the Bible to be fulfilled. He knew that
the Lord made many promises to him personally that were not fulfilled, and now
the revival fires were now about going out in 1962 and he became very confused
at that time, knowing that the revival fires were going out. Now, the revival
fires were going out and here these things had not yet come to pass. For
instance, like a Tent Vision, a Third
Pull Ministry, Speak the Word Power coming into the Church, the Harvest that is
laying out there, 300,000 people in Calcutta, and many other such promises. So,
Brother Branham became a little confused and he wondered how is it that the
revival fires could be going out here in 1962 and these things are not yet
fulfilled. Brother Branham sought the Lord for that answer, "Lord how could the revival fires be going
out and here what you promised me has not yet come to pass?" The Lord
gave Brother Branham the answer, what we call the 'WORD TO THE BRIDE." ('Church Ages' page 170-176, Spoken Word Is
The Original Seed, Book 2).
This is the
answer that was given to Brother Branham in 1962 when he sought the Lord
concerning the fulfillment of these promises that were made in the Bible and
made to him. This is the answer that the Lord gave him by prophecy:
"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 works, fulfilling
his own Word. He did not complete all his Work while in his Earthly Ministry,
so now He works in and through the Bride. She knows that, for it was not yet
time for Him to do certain things that He must now do, but He will now fulfill
through the Bride that Work which He left for this specific time." (Church
Age, page 172)
Brothers and Sisters, if we understand simple English, certain things
were not fulfilled, and the medium by which God is going to fulfill these
things is through the Bride of Christ. Now I don't believe that needs any
Computer work, I don't believe that needs any University Graduate. I believe
that is what God told Brother Branham and it has got to be that way.
Now the Bride
is to fulfill whatever is left to be fulfilled, but then the Bride needs
something before she could fulfill that, because the Bride was there all the time, called
out by Malachi 4, but these things are not fulfilled. She is lacking something.
Let us see what she is lacking. The Lord is going to tell the Prophet of God
what the Bride is lacking, when she is going to do it and how she is going to
do it.
"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&172).
There were certain things to be fulfilled after the
death of Brother Branham, and it is plainly said by the Holy Spirit through the
Prophet that it was going to be fulfilled through the Bride. Very simple. It
was going to be fulfilled through the Bride, and that Bride cannot do anything, she cannot move one inch until the Headstone comes upon her. She
becomes the Super Church and then and only then, can she complete the Ministry
of Jesus Christ, and complete the Ministry of Elijah the Prophet. Brothers and Sisters and all under the
sound of my voice, and wherever this cassette may go, let it be known, that the
simple vision of this Message is when the bride receives the Headstone, she
becomes the Super Race, then she has "Thus Saith The Lord" and she
knows what to do; she then goes out and fulfills every promise that is laying
in the Message. Upon that vision I
challenge every man that proclaims this Message, every believer of this
Message. I challenge them to tear up what I am saying here. I challenge all
their Eighth Messengers. I challenge all their
Prophets. I challenge the interpreters. I challenge the false anointed
ones, and I am saying that this is the simple vision of the Message of Brother
Branham. I am saying that the simple vision of the Message of the Prophet, the
entire Message, all that Brother Branham ever said, and all that he ever came
for is wrapped up in that vision right there. Beside that vision there is none
other. Any vision outside of this is
contrary to the Message of the Hour and it is false and contrary to God and it
is antichrist. That's the simple vision for the Bride today, there is none other.
It was the vision of William Branham when the Lord came to him in 1962 at the
end of the first revival, and when the fires went out he received the answer from the Lord. Whether
Brother Branham is here or he has gone on, the vision must continue to go on.
Yes sir!
Elijah
was our Brother Branham, and Elisha, I am going to type him momentarily here as
the Bride. Elijah had a certain vision, and Elisha caught the vision. But
Elisha could not put the vision into effect until he got a double portion of
the Spirit coming upon him. Oh yes. There are those in the Bride today who have
caught the vision, but that vision cannot go into effect until they receive a
double portion of the Spirit that was resting upon Brother Branham. Oh I just
feel to stay right here until every soul in here under the sound of my voice
could see that today, only if I could
put this vision in your hearts, no man could fool you.
Beloved, you
do not need to study Comparative
Religion, you don't need to get all the tapes of these false prophets and
study them to see if they are preaching
right or wrong. You don't need to go to their Churches. You don' t need to
have dialogues with them. All that you
need is to understand the correct vision of the Message, and anything contrary
to the vision of the Message is antichrist, of the Devil and the false anointed
ones. That's the truth of the Gospel. Anything contrary to this vision that
I have just put over here, direct from the Scripture, direct from Brother
Branham's Message, anything contrary to that is the Devil. Any "Eighth
Messengers" moving around the World today in an International Ministry are
false anointed ones, it’s the antichrist and of the Devil. If they are contrary
to this vision that I put over here, it’s the Devil. This is the simplicity of
the Message, there is none other. There is only one vision. Yes. It is hid to
them that are lost.
So now there is a doctrine that has gone out into
the World, and the doctrine that went out into the World for a long time is that
if another brother is not seeing the Message as you see it, then don't fight
against him, just be united, because the Prophet said, "Love one
another." That is called the "Love
Gospel." They say, "Don't make a difference, don't contend on
doctrine, love is the greatest force and anything that enters there would be
perfect love." So love is
expressed in not saying anything about false doctrines and false
interpretations. Don't contend with it, don't call anyone 'false anointed
ones'. According to that doctrine we don't have any false anointed ones in the
Message then? But we believe that there are, and they are going to get the
sharp edge of the sword. So they make it in such a nice palatable way:
"Don't you ever come up against any Brethren, they just see it a little
differently. And don't fuss about it, the Prophet said to love one
another." Do you think it’s so nice? Do you think if Brother Paul was here
he would treat it that way? Brother Peter, you think he would treat it that
way? Brother Jude? No indeed, they wouldn't! You think if Brother Branham was
here he would treat it that way? Absolutely not! He won't treat it that way.
Why? Because it is contrary to the Gospel.
There is only
one vision. Any vision of this Message that is contrary to that vision, it’s
the false anointed ones. So I am telling you here that the false anointed ones have a different
vision than what I just put over here from the Message. They have a different
vision all entirely. There is only one vision of this Message, either we have
it or we don't have it. We are either right or wrong. And the vision is very
simple: these things that are left to be fulfilled will be fulfilled in the
Bride and it cannot be fulfilled until
the Headstone comes upon the Bride. Is that the Word of the Lord? Is that
what the Angel told Brother Branham? Is that what Brother Branham established?
(Congregation says, "AMEN"). Well, we are establishing that.
Now, God sent a Message by Moses, and when he sent
that Message by Moses, the simple vision of that Message was that we would
leave Egypt Land and come into the Promised Land, for in the Promised Land is
flowing Milk and Honey. All the promises of God lay over in the Promised Land,
when you cross the Jordan. Regardless of how many laws were given on Mount
Sinai, no matter what took place on the way, there was a vision that Moses had,
and the vision was to take the people over into the Promised Land where the
Church would be a powerful Church, where the Church would be at rest, where
they would establish themselves as a Nation, as a Kingdom. Now something
happened along the way, other men arose
who had a different vision all entirely, and we see Korah, Abiram and
Dathan were false anointed ones.
These false anointed ones rose up on the way before
they entered the Promised Land, and right under the Prophet Moses, they
persuaded the people with another vision. They began to say in that time that
Egypt was the Promised Land, and “Moses brought us here to kill us and our
children, but when we were in Egypt we used to get onions and leaks and
garlics”. Such unbelief by those false
anointed ones led many thousands to their death because their vision came
not from God. The false anointed ones rose up with a contrary vision. Beloved,
if you have a contrary vision to the Message you would be swallowed up. The
judgments will fall upon you! The Earth would open up and swallow you! The
Tribulation would swallow you down! The men that project such visions are
specially called; they are borned for that certain purpose to try the Church of
God. Right under Moses, isn't that something?
Those people came through the Red Sea, they were
presently eating Manna from Heaven, they had seen all kinds of Miracles, Signs
and Wonders. After they had seen all those signs and wonders, Moses had to wear
a veil on his face because of the Glory of God. Those people heard the audible
Voice of God from Mount Sinai, and in all of that, they did not have the right
vision. Unbelief flooded their hearts, and after unbelief flooded their hearts
they began to say that they could not reach that Promised Land, they would die
on the way, it is too late to reach the Land. I am showing you where anything
that has a contrary vision, an interpretation of the Message of Malachi 4, to
the simple vision of God that he must
send the Headstone upon the Bride of Christ to fulfill all the promises that
are left to be fulfilled, is going to die. They will perish in the
Wilderness. They are not going to reach the Promised Land.
You see, what happen is that this vision is to simple for people to believe,
they want something intellectual, it must sound like the University, it must
have international backings behind it. People believe according to how many
people are following. No my Brother! You are deceived already. You don't judge
anything by how many people follow. A lot of people followed Korah, Abiram and
Dathan, and I will show you in a moment how many people followed others,
"And many shall follow their pernicious ways", yes, many of them.
Something
happened along the way. Moses is our Brother Branham, And when they almost reached the land,
there were ten renowned preachers together with two others, that went over to
spy the Land, and when they spied the Land and came back, only two of them had
the same vision like Moses, that we can take the Land because God promised us
the Land. There were ten others who came back with a lying report. Hear me in the Name of the Lord. These ten
spies came back with a lying report on
the promise of God. The simple Message of Moses is to go over and take the
Land, ten spies came back with a
contrary vision, all ten of them saying the very same thing, that we
cannot take the land because there are Giants in the Land over there. Now if that
is not the picture today, then, my Brothers and Sisters, I don't know what.
These ten spies represent today, around the
Message, the false anointed ones. Think of that a little bit. Let that soak
in. The true preachers of God, they are outnumbered ten to one. Ten spies.
Believers of the Message? Yes! Believe that Moses is a Prophet? Yes! Heard the
Law, heard the Voice of God, left Egypt land, passed through the Red Sea? Yes!
Were they Ministers? Oh yes! They were Ministers and they went over, and I
would tell you the big problem at that time, was a different vision other than
what Moses had. Moses' vision was to go and take the Land, by Grace we could
take it. You better hold on to the word, "Grace! Grace!" We could go
and take the Land. But there were ten men which represents today, thousands of
preachers around the Message of Brother Branham that are explaining away the
promises of God from the people and do not believe that we could go back to
Pentecost, don't believe that we could go back to Eden, they don't believe that
we could have an Outpouring, or the Headstone. That is how you know the false anointed ones, they are contrary to
the vision of the Prophet. Now this is ABC friends. Yes! You better look into
it very carefully. Anytime you start losing vision of that promise of God, you
better check your Soul. Anytime your vision start getting blurred concerning
this coming Outpouring of the Holy Ghost, you watch it my friend. Anytime
unbelief start coming up in your heart, when you say, "You really think
that Token could come, you really think that the Outpouring could come?"
Yes! It can come. Yes! It will come. I will show you right in the Word.
How do we know
the false anointed ones today? They do not preach the vision that you are
hearing here. They do not highlight the Token. They do not highlight this
promise of God, and I will show you why in a moment. You say, how do I know the false
anointed ones? Anything that is contrary to the simple vision that I just put
over from the Message is a false anointed one. He is identified with the ten spies that went into Canaan Land.
Brother Branham typed Joshua and Caleb, he said, "But there were two men there, Joshua the Holy Spirit and Caleb the
Bride”. They had the same vision of Moses, and because they had the same
vision of Moses, I am talking about the same Revelation like Moses, they came
there with faith, and they stood up and said, "We are more than able to
take the Land." So in the mixed
multitude today, there are God's true Servants, there are God's true Elect that
are confessing the same promise that Brother Branham looked to. That is how
you know a Child of God. When he hears the promise of God it wakens up his
Soul, it wakens up his hope and brings courage to him. They might be slumbering
in darkness, they might be under some interpreter, they might be under these
false anointed ones, but when they hear the promise of God preach, something
wakes up inside of them, because they are Children of the promise, they are
born for that promise. They yearn to see a living God. That is how you know the
elected Children of God.
Ten spies, and their vision was contrary to Moses'
vision. And there were two other men there. Right in "The Word To The
Bride", Brother Branham start speaking about Joshua and Caleb. He said,
"We are nearing our Promise Land and Joshua and Caleb are representing the
end time Bride with their leaders in the end time." Caleb represents the
Bride and Joshua represents the leaders that are leading these men, with a
certain vision. Make it something else if you can. Is that the simple vision?
After Moses died the vision went on to be fulfilled.
Did they cross over into the Promised Land? Did they
cross the Jordan? Did they enter the Promised Land? Who was it that took them
over, is it not Joshua?
Because he had a
vision just like Moses. How do we know the false anointed ones? The false
anointed ones fight against the promises of God. They change the vision of the
Prophet. Let us see what happens to them. You say I don't understand how these
men could have so many people following them, 100,000 in Nigeria, I am hearing
about 400,000 to 500,000 in the Congo. I don't doubt it, but do they have a
vision of Moses' Message? These ten spies came back from the Land and right
from under a Prophet, Moses, while he was alive, with a Pillar of Fire and a
Cloud, those ten spies with their false report persuaded the whole Congregation
by that unbelief; and took that Congregation from right under that Prophet and
the Prophet stood helpless.
What will they do in the absence of the Prophet? A
man standing with a Pillar of Fire and a Cloud, and God talking to him, lip to
ear and right from under him, false anointed ones brought back a contrary
vision to what God gave to Moses, and they just spoke for a little while and
they persuaded the whole Congregation. I will tell you what happened to them,
everything that believed that contrary vision perished at Kadesh Barnea - The
Judgment Seat of God.
Everything
that believed a contrary vision today of the Message of Brother Branham will
perish at Kadesh Barnea. You got to come to the simplicity of the vision of the Prophet. You say
what about these false anointed ones?
They were slain with the sword. Moses commanded them, he said, "You
have brought back a lying report and because of this you shall die.” Every
false anointed one that is saying
that we cannot take the promises of God today and it was fulfilled in a certain sense is going to die by the sword. They are
going to die by the sword of God's Word.
The punishment for changing the simple vision of
Malachi 4, is to be destroyed by the Word of God, is to go through the
Tribulation. Anyone who says you cannot go back to Pentecost is a false
anointed one. Anyone who says that there would not be a Tent Vision fulfilled
is a false anointed one. Anyone who says the Bride will not have a Revival
today is a false anointed one. Those are the promises of God. These false
anointed ones deserve to die because they have brought up a false report on the
very promises of God, and in particular, the Promise of God. Didn't these ten
spies had a large following? Don't look at the crowds my friends, don't look at
how many people believe them. Didn't Korah, Abiram and Dathan lead two hundred
and fifty princes away? Were they men of reknown? Did they perish? They passed
on that interpretation to their wives, children, friends and neighbors,
tattle-tailing right through the Congregation, until they were ready to
challenge Moses. When they went to challenge Moses they said, "Moses you
are not the only Holy one, God is speaking to someone else too.” The Lord said,
"Move aside Moses, tell them to get their censers and come here in the
morning. Let them appear here in the morning and I will show who is able to
come near me and who should not come in my presence."
Moses said to Korah, Abiram and Dathan, get your
censers and appear here in the morning. Moses said, “if these men die a natural death, God has not spoken to me.”
That's a man with a divine revelation. And
Korah, Abiram and Dathan have gone through the Congregations of the World,
through the World, amongst all the followers of Malachi 4, and have persuaded
the people differently from the vision of Brother Branham, burning their
censers throughout the World today, but they do not have the presence of God. They
cannot come in the presence of God, no my Brother, same with the ten spies.
No you see how powerful
these ten spies are. What makes them powerful? A contrary vision to what God
gave to Moses. Any vision contrary to the simplicity of going back to Pentecost
and unto Eden is that of a false anointed one. You say that's a type and its a
wonderful type, give us a little more
concrete evidence to prove that that's the problem today. All right, Brother
Branham saw a vision, he was walking on the Map of Palestine, he reached two
thirds of the way, and there was another third to go, and he was about to cross
Jordan. He was walking on a narrow highway and a Mamba Snake came out, and was
running down a certain brother. Brother Branham wanted to help him, and the
Snake turned back on Brother Branham, and turning back to Brother Branham, the
Lord gave him power. He said, "You
have power, Brother Branham to bind him." Brother Branham said, "That I might know, I bind you in the
Name of Jesus Christ.” And the Snake coiled up and became an 'and' (&)
sign. And the Angel told Brother Branham, "Bind
him and all under him for he is the
worse.” My Brother, right at
the Jordan there was a Mamba Snake of
unbelief. That's the Mamba Snake working in the ten spies. And the unbelief
today is the Mamba Snake of sin and unbelief. The Angel told him, sin and
unbelief is working in the false anointed ones. They tell the Church that they
cannot go and take the Promised Land. There is certainly a Mamba at the Jordan
and what is it trying to do? Stop you from going into the Promised Land.
The Prophet of God said in that same vision that all
the promises laid over in the Promised Land. You are not going to see none of
these things promised to the Bride until you enter the Promised Land. All the
promises are laying over the Jordan in the Promised Land. Isn't this Message
plain? Only unbelief could hinder the unbeliever, Wherever this tape may go,
only unbelief could hinder the unbeliever. I am not preaching to you as
unbelievers, I preach to you as believers. We are here because we caught a
vision.
I quote the Prophet, he said, "Somebody will catch this vision and take it on." Yes, we
are taking it on, we caught the vision. You are familiar with that vision of
the Mamba Snake. The very interpretation states that the Mamba Snake is
representing sin and unbelief. If you follow your Scriptures you see that the Mamba bit the Israelites right before they
crossed into Jordan at Kadesh Barnea. How did that unbelief hit them? Unbelief
of the Mamba hit them through the spies, and the unbelief today is hitting the
people of God through the false anointed ones. False preachers of the Message
with tapes and books. They are killing the people through unbelief. Any man
that says you cannot go back to Pentecost is a false anointed one, anointed of
the Devil. Anything that thinks it is too late for another revival is a
false anointed one. If you believe such
you are deceived. You might be elected Children of God but you are falsely led
and you are deceived by a false
anointed one to believe such contrary things.
People want something hard and mysterious and they
have gone away from the simplicity that is in Christ. Yes, who are these ten
spies representing today? Who was Moses representing? Did he have a representation?
Did Moses have a Pillar of Fire and two signs? Did it work out right here? Did
Moses lead an Exodus out of Egypt? Did he have a vision to go to the Promised
Land? There must be a place for these spies. These ten spies represent the
false anointed ones. And then that Mamba Snake was the unbelief and the sin of
the heart that is anointing the false anointed ones today. They are preventing
the Church from going over; but I have news for you, nothing will stop this
Bride. Unbelief does not hinder God, it hinders the unbeliever.
That's the Message of the Prophet. He said unbelief
does not hinder God, it hinders the unbeliever. They entered not into the
Promised Land because of their unbelief. Is that the Mamba? (Hebrews 4) They
entered not into the Promised Land because of their unbelief. And all those who
would not enter into the promises of God today is because of their
unbelief. In this hour, you let that
unbelieving Devil anoint you to turn your back and walk away from that promise
of God, it is better that you had never been born. You say, can that happen?
Beloved, just before Judas was to cross
the Jordan the Mamba bit him and he denied the promise of God. Judas showed
his colors just before the Day of Pentecost.
There we are Children, and these ten spies, what did
they do? What was the work of the ten spies? What is the work of the false anointed ones? The false anointed ones
are to explain away the promise of God from you. There is a great campaign
throughout the World that explains the promise of God away. They have many
interpretations. I would take the whole day to tell you the interpretations
that they use in order to explain the promises of God away. But what I am
trying to show you is a spirit, that try to destroy you. A spirit that try to
stop the Church of God. They try to anoint you with unbelief, saying that
“there isn't going to be any promise fulfilled. We can't make it”.
When the Devil comes around and tell you that you
can't make it, don't you know that's an unbelieving spirit. When the Devil tell
you that you are the worst in the Church and you are causing too much trouble,
its an unbelieving spirit trying to break through to you. If you let that break
through upon you, you would change the Message; you would start living contrary
to the Message. You’d say, never mind what is taught here, and you would have
your own lifestyles. You would walk your own road, you would believe what you
want to believe. Its unbelief anointing you. The Devil don't want this Message
out but its going out. Its not going to stop, its going forward.
These false
anointed ones major on fighting the promise of God. There was a man of vision
that arose in the early days. He had this vision, he fought that unbelief going
and coming. He sealed his testimony with his blood, fighting against those
false anointed ones. He kept that vision alive.
In order for
the false anointed ones to stop the Bride from becoming desperate to go over and
take the Land that was promised to her, there arose an interpretation for many
years, throughout the USA and many other Countries of the World that the
Headstone has already come. It’s an antichrist doctrine! It’s of Lucifer! It’s
of the Devil! I challenge every interpreter and false anointed one, and I’ll
prove them liars. The Headstone, according to this Message, is not yet come. These interpreters are
saying the Headstone came in 1963, because the Headstone is Christ. See how
nice that is. The Headstone and the Cornerstone is Christ, and when the Seals
were opened the full Word of God came into existence. When it came into
existence the Headstone came. Sounds nice, isn't it? To prove that the
Headstone came, the Cloud appeared and only the Head appeared, therefore is was
indicating that the Headstone came to the Bride. The interpretation of the ten spies sounded very palatable to all
Israel. So now, in order for them to preach that doctrine that the Headstone
is come; they made the Headstone a matter of the Word and not the Spirit.
The Headstone
is not only the Word, but it is the Spirit. They made it a matter of the Word. They made
it a matter of the Seven Seals and not the Spirit of God. Sounds very nice,
ain't it? You are talking about a diabolical doctrine! Satanic to core, saying
that “the Capstone came then, at the Opening of the Seals”. Any man who teaches
that has returned with a lie from the Promised Land. I don't doubt you went to
the Promised Land and you have tasted of the grapes, and you were a partaker of
the Holy Ghost, but you never possessed it. There is a difference of entering
the Land and tasting of the grapes, and had been made partaker of the Holy
Ghost, and possessing it.
You could be anointed by the Spirit as a false
anointed one, and you could preach Brother Branham's Message, but you can
remain a blind man. You do not have the vision of Moses. If you don't have the
vision of Moses you will return from the Land with a lying report and you will
die having a lying vision. Your vision is contrary to Moses' vision. Although
you entered the Land, although you got an anointing, although you had a taste
of the grapes, although you did all those things, you are fit to die. You
continue in that state, you will fulfill Hebrews 6. I am talking to preachers
around the World. You continue to preach unbelief in the Promise of God, you
will fulfill Hebrews 6:4-6. The
blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is to preach against the Promise of God. The blasphemy of the Holy
Ghost shall not be forgiven man. When you say the Church already have the
Headstone and there is nothing more to come, you are blaspheming against the
Holy Ghost.
Now let me divide this for a few minutes for you.
They are saying that the Headstone is the Word, that its Christ. They have gone
up a little higher, they are saying that the Coming of Christ took place at the Opening of the Seals. I don't
doubt it a bit; but when, you make that
the Capstone you are a Devil! You have misinterpreted the Word of God! You
are anointed by a wicked spirit! You are numbered with the spies that brought
forth a lying report from the Land, and unless you repent you would die
spiritually.
How many believe that Jesus is the Cornerstone? And
you believe that he is also the Headstone? (Congregation says, "Amen").
That is no hard doctrine to understand. Jesus Christ in His first Coming, was
He the Word? (Congregation says, "Amen"). Everybody understand that?
Was he the Word? Was he the Cornerstone? Did the Pharisees and the Church
reject the Cornerstone? Now, that was the Word! Jesus was the Word! It was the
letter. He went in amongst the Pharisees. Was he the Cornerstone? In order for
the Cornerstone to come to the Bride, the
Cornerstone had to be rejected. "And the stone which the builders
rejected, become the head of the corner."
A little seventh standard child could tell me what
that is. Jesus was the Word of God. He
was the Cornerstone. Is that right? When
that stone was rejected it returned as the Cornerstone on the Day of Pentecost,
therefore the Cornerstone was the Outpouring of the Holy Ghost that came on
the Day of Pentecost. I am proving to you that the Cornerstone was the
Outpouring of the Holy Ghost, but the Cornerstone was on the Earth, walking
around in a body of flesh, teaching the Word of God! But that was not in the
Bride. It was supposed to come into the Bride on the Day of Pentecost.
Why did it say
Cornerstone back there and not Capstone? Because it is being typed out to a building. The Church's
foundation was now laid. Look at the Pyramid here. At the bottom of the Pyramid
when the Outpouring came it could not be called Capstone because it was the
foundation stone. Everybody understand that? When the Outpouring came in the
First Age it was called Cornerstone. Because that was the part of the building
God was working upon. But Seven Church Ages have passed. God sent forth a
Prophet. He brought the Word, they rejected the Word of God! They crucified the
Word. Now, after they crucified the Word in Brother Branham, another Outpouring of the Holy Ghost is to come
upon the Bride, and that is not called Cornerstone, it is called Capstone.
Oh, if only you could get that, my Brothers and Sisters. I am saying the same
article that was called Cornerstone on the Day of Pentecost is now called
Headstone because it’s coming to that portion of the Bride in the end time. I
believe that any little Elect should understand that. But when a man wants to
make the Headstone the Word, he is telling you a lie. The Headstone is not the
Word only! Catch that word there? The Headstone is not the Word only. The Headstone is both the Word and the
Spirit. And in order to get the Headstone in the Bride you must have
another Outpouring of the Holy Ghost. So truly Jesus is the Headstone. In order for the Headstone to come into the
Bride, Jesus must come in Spirit form into the Bride of Christ. Let us hear
the Prophet on that. It is good to hear what he has to say about that. Let us
see how the Prophet called the Capstone.
"Next thing add Charity which is Love, that's
the capping stone, one of these days in the Church....” He said that out there is Charity, that Capstone. You see what is the capping stone? It is
Love. It is Charity. He says, and its going to come one day in the Church. "It never was put on top of the
Pyramid, they couldn't understand why. The capping stone was rejected, the Head
- Christ, but it will come someday. Patience, knowledge, temperance, godliness,
brotherly kindness. What does it do, then they're waiting for the Headstone
which is Love, for God is Love and He controls, and He is the strength of
everyone of these. For the capping stone is to cap it off...." (Stature Of
A Perfect Man, page 42)
Let me give you something a little direct. "And in the evening time it shall be
light, thats when Christ comes, the Holy Spirit. Jesus comes down and set
himself at the Head of the Church then, and He will resurrect this Church being
His own body. Then Peter says, first seven things, faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance,
patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and then the Love of God. Then the
Love of God, the Holy Ghost, Christ in the Person of the Holy Ghost comes upon
you in the true Baptism of the Holy Ghost and you got all these virtues sealed
in you, then God lives in you, a tabernacle called the building of the living
tabernacle of the living God's dwelling place. When a man possesses these kind
of things then the Holy Ghost comes upon him." There Shall Be Light In The
Evening Time” (Stature of a Perfect Man).
Brothers and Sisters, if I understand English, the
Prophet of God says you've got to have these virtues. He said when you have
these virtues then the Holy Ghost comes upon you, which is the person of Jesus
Christ, which is the thing to cap you off.
"When a man or woman possesses this, then
the Capstone comes down and seals them into the Kingdom of God which is the
Holy Ghost."(Blasphemeous Names pg:23).
You see when the Capstone comes? When a man
possesses those seven virtues, then the Holy Ghost which is the Capstone comes
and seals the man. That's simple teaching. I can't make it anything else.
"Oh, don't be rough on it, Pentecostal Brother,
line up with the Word and believe every bit of it. Don't get out into these
isms and things as we see going on today. Don't be astonished at that, because
the Headstone is coming, crying Abba Father, pretty soon. My God! My God! I believe it will all my heart." (Turn On The
Light, 1964)
How many believe with all your heart? (Congregation
says “Amen”). That's the vision of the Prophet. They said that the Headstone
came in 1963? Brother Branham say it is coming, but don't you get out into any
kind of isms. He said, "I believe with all my heart." He was pretty much excited about it. Yes!
"And when
the Headstone returns..." (Easter
Seal) This is 1965. Brother Branham said when the Headstone returns. This is blowing
up your interpretations, wherever this tape may go. You said that Headstone
came in 1963, Brother Branham was looking for it in 1964 and 1965. That makes
you a false prophet and a liar and an interpreter of the Word of God. Repent or
perish!!
"Jesus said it would repeat again, when he would be revealed in the last days, the
Headstone is coming into the body to redeem... that’s the redeemer coming to
His own. He is here with us." (Future Home, 1964)
He is coming but he is here with us. The Headstone
was on the Earth but He is still coming. Yes! He has got to come in a certain form into the Bride. Jesus the
Cornerstone was on Earth. He said, "But if I go not, the Comforter will not come." That was your Cornerstone . He said, "But
if I go, then the Comforter will come." That was the Cornerstone. There
is a certain way that the Headstone has got to come into the Bride and its got
to come like the Day of Pentecost.
"Just
like the Pyramid that Enoch built and we find in that Pyramid they never did
get the Headstone on it. Why? The Headstone is yet to come.”
The Headstone is yet to come! The Headstone is yet to come! (Q&A, 1964).
Brother Branham said the reason the Pyramid's
Headstone is missing and cannot be found is because it is representing that
Headstone that is yet to come. 1964, he said the Headstone is yet to come. “The Headstone when it comes, it comes to
fit, there got to be a Ministry in the Church, the true Church of the Living
God to where when the Headstone come, Christ will fit right in together
perfectly then, He will bring back the redeemed. Yes, the Ministry of Christ
beginning to narrow up to the complete Ministry of Christ in the fullness of
the Holy Ghost. Fullness of the Holy Ghost” (Sign of the Time 1963).
Let me quote another one, after the Seals now: "Their big Church is to be united, the
dynamics of the Holy Spirit, that we have worked in a small measure while the
Headstone is coming down. Yeah! To unite with the body. But when that head and
body unites together the full power of the Holy Ghost would raise her up just
exactly, even the dead that died in Christ for hundreds of years.”(What Shall I Do With Jesus That
Is Called The Christ? - 1963).
My Brethren,
the Prophet of God said we use a measure of the Holy Ghost
while we are
waiting on the Headstone. Is that right? But he said when the
Headstone
comes to the
Bride it will bring up the dead that
was in the grave for hundreds of years. I believe it. And I believe that
anybody that says the Capstone has already come they are false anointed ones or deceived by the false
anointed ones. He is saying that the Capstone is the dynamics. Some of you
may not understand what is dynamics. Here you have a vehicle engine all built
up and tuned up. But then there isn't any gasoline and fire-power. If you don't
have the gasoline and fire-power to start it up then the engine is a dead
engine. That’s what the Church is that follow Brother Branham. They are a bunch
of dead people with no fire power. Any
preacher who says that the Capstone has come into the Bride and she has Perfect
Love and is ready for the Rapture is a dead hypocrite. Since the time of
1963, that they claim that the Headstone came into the Bride, I am asking what
did they produce? It’s supposed to raise the Church that is sleeping in the
grave for hundreds of years.
The Prophet says when that Headstone comes it is the
dynamics to the Church. It will bring back the power to the Church. And he said
it will raise the dead from the grave. Now
a preacher has to be a shameless hypocrite to see the condition that the people
are in and claim that they have the Headstone. You have to be a false anointed
one! You have to be a spy coming back from Canaan Land. When you as a
hypocrite preacher could see that the people have gotten away from the Holiness
Message of Brother Branham, not even doing their ABC's and today they are in a worse condition than they were in 1963. They were dressing right, no Televisions in their
houses, and they were off the Sports Fields. Now everyone is looking at
Television, playing Sports, immodest dressing, preachers committing adultery.
The people have not fulfilled the ABC's and they are learning Algebra? That is
contrary to the Message. The Prophet say if you want to know the condition of
any Church look at the women. See what they are producing.
These preachers got to be hypocrites. They got to stifle their conscience. They
got to be shameless, false anointed ones to call what they see today “the Bride
of Christ ready for the Rapture.” Yes, and then pretend to preach love, and
that you should not condemn anyone for doing these things, not fulfilling the
ABC's, and you want to tell me Christ is coming to Rapture that? You shameless
false anointed one! If Christ is to Rapture what they call the Bride today He
will have to put her head in a sack and steal her away by night! That is
what He will have to do with the Bride that these false anointed ones produced.
In such a condition, you have the Headstone? You have to be a shameless
hypocrite, stifling your conscience. You had thirty-five years since the Headstone came, and all you produced is
nakedness? Sports? Television? Confusion? And the people of God throughout the
World that follow this Message is more badly divided than all the Organizations
put together!
If the
Headstone had come to the Bride, there will be one people, united, speaking the
same thing, and you will have another Church like the Day of Pentecost. One
Body, and “no man durst join himself to the Church”. Yes! No man durst join
himself to the early Church because they were fearful. And you had “one Lord,
one Faith, one Baptism...” These people had more that thirty years to produce the so-called divine
love. All they have produced is a bunch of adulterers
on the Pulpit. A bunch of Television viewers, Sports men, and want to tell
me that Christ is coming for that Bride? You've
lost your mind. Christ is not coming to marry anything like that, but there is a Bride upon the face of the
Earth that’s ordained to come forth with “thus saith the Lord” when the
Headstone comes. She will fulfill every promise that was made to the church, by
the Lord Jesus Christ, through the ministry of William Branham. Amen! Amen! Amen!
