The Angel of Revelation 10 has not come down

We update studies as the Lord Jesus leads us. You can find the latest update of this study at ChurchAges.net

There were two clouds in 1963

The mighty Angel of Revelation 10  has not yet come down.

REVELATION 10:1   And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

This Scripture was not fulfilled by the supernaturally high Cloud of 1963 that was photographed just north of Flagstaff, Arizona. As you can see, the Cloud does not fit the description of the above Angel.

This Cloud photograph was taken by the Tucson Observatory on 28 February 1963 and printed on the back cover of  the 17 May edition of Life magazine.

There was no face in the Cloud. Certainly not a face that shone like the sun.

The Cloud flew horizontally at 42 kilometers height for 28 minutes after sunset north of Flagstaff in Arizona.

The Cloud never came down nor went up. It stayed at a constant height.

The Cloud was always about 200 miles north of Sunset Peak where brother Branham went hunting six days later. He never saw the Cloud.

No obvious rainbow was visible in the Cloud.

A Photostat (or duotone or halftone facsimile) of the back cover, that leaked in some light, showed patches of light that looked like a face.

This is the photostat that was made.

The Cloud had no feet.

There were not two pillars of fire visible in the photograph.

The Cloud photostat could represent a head, but there was no body that was clothed, no legs, and no feet.

In addition, there were two clouds as photographed from Winslow. They briefly appeared north of Flagstaff for 28 minutes after sunset.

The very high clouds were too high and too thinly spread out to be visible against the glare of the blue sky in daylight. The path of the invisible smoke cloud is shown by the broken line. The red arrow shows the path of both clouds when they were briefly visible against the black sky just after sunset.

The big Cloud was formed from the wings of angels. The smaller cloud was the smoke from an earlier rocket explosion 42 kilometers above Vandenberg Airforce Base. Both Clouds were at a height of about 42 kilometers. Far too high for natural water clouds to form.

A smoke cloud is needed to fulfill the prophecy of Saint Peter.

ACTS 2:19   And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire,

and vapour of smoke:

Water vapour makes a rain cloud.

Smoke vapour makes a smoke cloud.

The open Book means the Bride understands the Bible

REVELATION 10:2   And he had in his hand a little book open:

and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

No book was visible in the Cloud, which was 510 miles away from the sea coast at Vandenberg Airforce Base in California.

The Angel did not come down to open the Book, He came down because the Book was opened.

62-1230   IS  THIS  THE  SIGN  OF  THE  END  SIR

But, this One didn't come from the earth. He come down from Heaven, because the mystery is all finished.

Six of the seven Seals were revealed in 1963 between 17 March and 24 March, by the seventh angel while he was on earth.

The Cloud was the sign in the heaven that that it was almost time for a great event, the revelation of the 7 Seals.

Seven angels who came and left invisibly, without forming a Cloud, met William Branham at 8 o'clock on 8 March 1963 at Sunset Peak which is 200 miles away from Flagstaff.

They gave him the commission to reveal the Seven Seals. Only six Seals could be revealed because the Seventh Seal was revealed to be a total mystery as it refers to the Coming of the Lord.

Brother Branham knew nothing about the Cloud for the first three months as it was just a sign in the heaven, to tell us that six of the seven Seals were going to be revealed. Thus, the Cloud emphasized the Revelation of the Seven Seals. The Cloud did not emphasize the man William Branham as it emphasized the revelation of the written Word.

The Cloud was just the sign for the great event that started on 17 March and continued to 24 March 1963.

The great event was the coming down of the mysteries of God so that they could be revealed in the Bible.

This six-Seal mystery enabled brother Branham to open up the Scriptures so that we can now understand the mysteries of the written Bible which will make us ready for the catching away.

These mysteries do not have to include great Tribulation events as those only apply to the Jews.

A key thought.

The Bride has to understand the written mysteries of the Bible. We have to be able to prove what we believe from Scripture. This will be the evidence that we have digested and understood his teachings.

Only when the Bride individuals are able to prove their beliefs just from the Scriptures will brother Branham's ministry have reached a successful conclusion.

He did not come to get himself ready, he came to get us ready. To restore us back to the beliefs of the first church-age apostles.

MATTHEW 17:11   And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

After the Bride can open the Book and read the written mysteries with the same understanding that the first church had, then the Angel will stand on land and sea. Putting his feet down means he is taking control of these areas.

He will come down to conquer. He claims His authority over death, hell, and the grave. He takes possession of the land and the sea which is where the 7 church ages saints over the last 2000 years have been buried.

He raises the dead so that the first church age saints can meet the living seventh church age saints who believe just like they did.

64-0119 SHALOM

When that Angel, of Revelation the 10th chapter, puts one foot on land and one on the sea, and a rainbow over His head, He swore, "time shall be no more." When that time comes,

you will rise up from among the dead.

While the rest of them lay there, you will go in.

REVELATION 10:3   And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried,

seven thunders uttered their voices.

The Thunders utter after the mysteries of the written Word have been revealed.

After the Bride has been restored back to the teachings of the early church of the New Testament.

After the living Bride, during the former rain or teaching rain, that began in 1947, that revealed written Bible, has learned to see eye-to-eye with the apostolic fathers of the first church age.

Then the mighty Angel, who is the Archangel, comes down for the latter rain or harvest rain. The harvest is when the seed is physically pulled off the plant. The voice of the Archangel is the roar of the Lion, the King. His voice pulls the dead saints out of their graves.

Jesus ascended to Heaven 40 days after His resurrection.  This pattern will repeat when the Bride is caught up to Heaven 40 days after the resurrection of the New Testament saints.

Then seven secret Thunders utter to change the bodies of the living saints in order to prepare them for the catching up. The living Bride have to be changed in order to be part of the harvest who are pulled up off the earth to meet the Lord in the air, together with the resurrected saints.

You cannot be caught up or raptured in this body. So, you cannot receive rapturing faith in this body. Thus, the Thunders have to show us how to change our bodies. Only then can we receive rapturing faith.

62-1230  IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR
Seven Thunders throwed their voices out.
What if it is something to let us know how to enter into the Rapturing Faith? Is it? Will we run, leap over walls?

Leaping over the wall of time between the natural and the supernatural will only be possible when we learn how to change these sinful bodies into immortal bodies.

REVELATION 10:4   And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

The seven Thunders have top-secret information.

It can only be revealed after the resurrection.

So, John must not write what they said.

REVELATION 10:5   And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

:6   And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be

time no longer:

Time produces change that leads to decay, getting old, and death.

Once the Bride are in their new immortal bodies then they will be out of time.

They cannot age, deteriorate, or change for the worse in any way.

The Bride will no longer be in time, but the rest of the world will still be in time. This is the last part of the harvest, when the Bride is pulled out of the dimension of time and then lives in the higher dimension of eternity.

That is the true harvest of Heavenly bliss for the wise virgins. Those who can understand the Bible mysteries.

DANIEL 12:10  ... but the wise shall understand.

The saved foolish virgins sadly decided not to return to the beliefs of the early church. They will be left behind and go into great Tribulation to reap the harvest of sorrow and despair

REVELATION 10:7   But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound,

the mystery of God should be finished,

as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

The big "mystery (singular) of God" that church-goers seem unaware of, is that God wants the last church age to believe just like the first church age.

But it "should" be finished. This expresses uncertainty.

The message-groups, unfortunately, will not interpret Scripture by using the quotes of brother Branham. They will foolishly replace the Scriptures with quotes instead of proving the quotes from Scripture. Becoming increasingly Bible-illiterate they will head for great Tribulation because they lost sight of the fact that they should have been going back to the beliefs of the early church.

Brother Branham's early years were training for his ministry.

65-0718M  TRYING  TO  DO  GOD  A  SERVICE  WITHOUT  BEING  THE  WILL  OF  GOD

Not the years in preparation,

but, "When he begins to sound the Message, these mysteries then will be revealed."

A spiritual ministry requires a lot of training.

Brother Branham began preaching in 1933.

In 1947, an angel came to him, and he began his great supernatural ministry. He also began to record his sermons so that his voice would remain when he left the scene.

In the last years of his ministry, especially after the revelation of the Seven Seals, he revealed the deeper mysteries of Scripture that should restore us back to the beliefs of the early church. If we have the sense to prove the quotes from the written Scriptures and try to be like the early church.

The seed that will be harvested has to be identical to the first seed that was planted.

For instance, the first church age of the New Testament never had a pastor as the head of a church.

The word "pastors" is only mentioned once in the New Testament, and thus, this ministry has no Bible authority to be the head of a church. Pastoral care means helping people with their problems. It is Bible teachers who have to explain the Bible mysteries.

63-0318  THE  FIRST  SEAL

…. for this alone, the mysteries of God, is the ministry of the seventh angel.

The seventh angel had to reveal the written mysteries and restore the seventh church age back to the Bible teachings of the first age.

MATTHEW 17:11   And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Our Bible ignorance stops the Angel coming down

We will know more historical details about church history, but we will believe the same basic doctrines that the first church age did. Once the Bride has learned these revelations and can read the Bible as an open Book, then the Angel will come down.

Our ignorance of Scripture is what is stopping the Angel from coming down.

63-03-18  THE FIRST SEAL

Let me just read it again. It sounds so good to me;  I like to read it.

... I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud:... a rainbow... upon his head, and his face was... the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

Now, we saw the same thing, which was Christ. And we know Christ is always the Messenger to the Church. All right. He's called a Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the covenant and so forth.

And he had in his hand a little book opened:...

(Now, the Seals had done been broke here. We're breaking them now; but this, the thing is opened.)

Brother Branham is revealing the Seals. But when the Angel came down with the little book open, “the Seals had … been broke”.    He said that “We are breaking them now”  but in the Scripture of Revelation Chapter 10 the Book is open.

So, the little Book is open when the Angel comes down.

Most importantly,  the Angel does not come down to open the Book.

The Angel comes down because the Book is open.

62-12-3  SIRS IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END?

The other angels was messengers, men of the earth. But this Angel... But this One didn't come from the earth;

He come down from heaven, because the mystery's all finished.

And when the mystery's finished,

the Angel said, "Time shall be no more,"

and seven thunders throwed their voices out.

The Angel did not come down to open the Book. He came down because It was already open.

That is our responsibility.

We must use his quotes to interpret what is written in Scripture, not to replace Scripture.

When the Bride individuals can prove the truth from the written Scripture, then only can the mighty Angel come down.

62-1230  IS  THIS  THE  SIGN  OF  THE  END  SIR

Notice Revelations 5:1. Listen at this now.

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book written within (the writing was withinside) and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

Now, there is writing on the inside of the Book. But, the backside had Seven Seals, on the back of It, that wasn't written in the Book. Now, this is the revelator talking, John. Now, remember, It wasn't written in the Book.

"And in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, all this mystery that's written within should be finished." It should be taken care of, in that day.

Now do you see what I mean? Are you following me?

THEN is the time for the seven voices of Revelations 10 to be revealed. When the Book is finished,

there is only one thing left, and that's the seven mysterious voices of thunder that was wrote on the backside of the Book, that John was forbidden to write. Let me read it.

A constant theme in brother Branham’s preaching is that the written mysteries must be revealed and only then can the Angel come down.

Only then can the Thunders utter.

Only then can time be no more.

63-0320 THE  THIRD  SEAL

... the seventh angel, when he sounds, all the mysteries of God should be finished up by his sounding. Then after it's revealed, the Angel come down from heaven, which was Christ

...  And then goes on and said, in the day just before these seven thunders, all the mysteries here are revealed.

63-01-12  INFLUENCE

We're told, in Revelation 10, that there'll be a messenger in the last day, will gather up these little ends and will bring them together.

And then the mystery of God would be finished, at the sounding of this angel,

which was a messenger of the earth.

Then One came down from Heaven,

with His hands up, rainbow over His head, and swore that there would be time no more; an Angel taking an oath. And when we see this thing is materializing, oh, how sincere we should be.

Thus, the Angel can only come down after brother Branham completes his ministry of revealing the written Scriptures. Brother Branham had to be on earth to reveal the mysteries that came down to him from Heaven.

Then he died as his ministry ended in December 1965.

So, the Angel could not come down while brother Branham was on earth.

The mystery of God has to be finished first. That is brother Branham’s ministry. Then the Angel comes down after that.

Because his ministry ended in December 1965, thus the Angel can only come down some time after that.

It is not always easy to interpret a prophecy.

1964-07-19  THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS

During the 4th to the 19th, God is dealing with Israel.

So, if the Bride goes up in Revelation Chapter 4 and returns in Chapter 19. Thus, we have to be careful about applying Chapter 10 to our present day.

Verse 7 does apply to our day but it begins with the word “but”  which shows that it is changing the theme.

REVELATION 10:7   But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Revelation 10: 1 – 6 is a future event with the mighty Angel coming down to perform the resurrection. This only happens once the living Bride has the revelation of the revealed mysteries of Scripture.

But, way back in the years around 1956 – 1965 these deeper mysteries were being revealed by the seventh angel.

He knew what he was talking about and could prove his beliefs from Scripture. But his followers did not yet know how to prove all the mysteries from Scripture.

In addition, since then new people had been born who needed to know these truths.

The believers had to learn to take his quotes back to Scripture and prove their doctrines from Scripture, not from quotes.

That is the only way for them to be able to understand the Bible.

The Bible has to be an open book for them, not an ignored Book.

But fewer and fewer would do this.

The revealed Word is symbolized by a “little“ Book that will be understood and believed by a “little” group.

LUKE 12:32   Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

MATTHEW 18:20   For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The Angel comes down after the mysteries are revealed

So, when does the Angel come down?

That only happens after the mystery of God is finished being revealed.

The Angel had not yet appeared when brother Branham began preaching on the Seals. Brother Branham only heard about the Cloud a couple of months after revealing the Seals.

63-03-17   THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEVEN SEALS

And here He returns back in the 10th chapter

after the coming time, that all the mysteries is to be finished,

and the Seals are to be broke, and proclaiming that its time is no more. And he said, "When the seventh angel has begin to sound,

then the mysteries should be finished and time for the Angel to appear. We're close,

somewhere. That's right.

This was eighteen days after the Cloud was photographed. He was still waiting for the Angel to appear. But the mysteries had to be revealed first. That process would only end in December 1965.

So, the Angel had not yet come down as he started to reveal the Seals.

63-0318  THE  FIRST  SEAL

What about the hour has come that when His Bride must be taken away? What, that the hour has come that time shall be no more?

The Angel is ready

to set one foot on land and the other on the sea with a rainbow over Him, with feet, and say, "Time's run out."

The Angel had not yet come down by the time brother Branham revealed the first Seal.

63-03-24   THE SEVENTH SEAL

Revelations the 10th chapter and the  1 to the 7th verse. Time runs out.

The angel said, "Time will be no more," in the days of this great thing to happen.

Everything runs out in this time, at the end of this Seventh Seal.

The Angel had not come down by the time he preached on the Seventh Seal.

The coming down of the Angel was still an event that was “to happen” in the future.

The Seventh Seal was revealed to be a total mystery.

We know nothing about it because it refers to the Coming of the Lord.

So, brother Branham preached on the Seven Seals before the Angel ever came down.

The revelation of the six Seals that we could understand, and the revelation that the Seventh Seal that is a total mystery, all have to happen before the Angel could come down.

Only Six Seals were revealed.

63-0803   INFLUENCE

Seven Angels come down, and said,

"The complete revelation of the six-seal mystery

of God would be unfolded."

Angels formed the Cloud over Flagstaff eight days before they visited brother Branham at Sunset Peak which is 200 miles south of Flagstaff.

Thus, these seven angels, coming invisibly to brother Branham were not the coming of the mighty Angel.

64-0816  PROVING  HIS  WORD

The seventh angel was to open the six-seal mystery.

This again indicates that the seventh Seal never opened.

64-0719  THE  FEAST  OF  THE  TRUMPETS

The Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you know. That's His Coming.

1964 and the Seventh Seal still has not opened.

63-0324  THE  SEVENTH  SEAL

We find that Christ, the Lamb took the Book in His hand, and

He opened that Seventh Seal. But you see, it's a hidden mystery. No one knows it.

Thus, brother Branham never had a revelation of the Seventh Seal. It was just silence.

So, the mighty Angel did not come down to give him a revelation of the Seals.

He preached on the Seven Seals before the Angel comes down.

Six Seals were revealed to him by seven angels. Those revelations would enable him to open up the other mysteries of the written Scripture, except for details of great Tribulation which do not concern the Bride. We also do not know the mystery of the Second Coming of the Lord because that is not written in the Bible.

The 7 Thunders and the new name of Jesus are also not written in the Bible, so he could not reveal those. He could only reveal the mysteries that are written in the Book. He never knew what the seven Thunders uttered.

1963-1110   SOULS  THAT  ARE  IN  PRISON  NOW

"And he saw this Angel come down ...

"And put His hands up to Heaven, and swore by Him that lives forever and ever," the Eternal One, the Father, God,

"that time shall be no more,"  when this takes place. It's run out. It's done. It's finished.

This is the end of 1963 and he is still speaking of the Angel in the future tense.

1964-0112  SHALOM

But in the seventh hour, the seventh messenger, that all these mysteries should be finished. See?

The seventh earthly messenger, see, this angel that He speaks of then was on earth. An angel means "messenger."

And then, after that, he saw another Angel coming down,

not the earthly angel that had been given the Message here, but the (another) mighty Angel came from Heaven with a rainbow over Him, and set His foot on the land and sea, and swore by Him that lives forever and ever, "Time shall be no more." See?  But before He broke forth on those Seven Seals to reveal them, that He showed miraculous, He showed it first in the heavens.

That day they took pictures all across southern United States and Mexico. There it hangs now in the Life Magazine, still a mystery to them.

But He declares it in the heavens before He does it on earth.

He always does that.

He shows His signs in the heavens first.

Almost a year after the Cloud was photographed and he refers to the Cloud as a sign in the heavens.

He says that the messenger, on earth,  must reveal all the mysteries and only “after that” does the Angel come down.

December 1965 was brother Branham’s last sermon. That is when he finished revealing the mysteries. So only after December 1965 can the Angel come down.

63-0320   THE THIRD SEAL

... the seventh angel, when he sounds, all the mysteries of God should be finished up by his sounding. Then after it's revealed, the Angel come down from heaven, which was Christ (Now remember, this angel is on earth, a messenger).

…. In the day just before these seven Thunders, all the mysteries here are revealed

First, the mysteries of the written Word must be revealed by brother Branham. Then only after it is revealed does the Angel come down.

Thus the Angel does not come down to reveal the mysteries.

What is the purpose of the Angel coming down?

64-0119  SHALOM

But, remember, if it goes plumb into the shadows of death, "I am the resurrection and Life; I'll raise him up again." And when the great Director comes down and bears that stick down, then, "time shall be no more."

When that Angel, of Revelation the 10th chapter, puts one foot on land and one on the sea,

and a rainbow over His head, He swore, "time shall be no more."

When that time comes, you'll rise up from among the dead.

While the rest of them lay there, you'll go in.

1964 and brother Branham still speaks of the Angel in the future tense.

But most importantly, he reveals what the Angel is coming down to do.

The mighty Angel performs the resurrection.

Thus the Angel of Revelation 10 is the Archangel.

50-04-05   EXPECTATION

We're going towards a dark chamber, a chamber of death. Everyone enters that chamber. And every time our heart beats, we go one step closer. Someday, I shall enter that chamber. And when I get down to the last heart beat, I do not want to go in there as a coward; I want to wrap myself in His righteousness; pull it up around me and enter that chamber, to know Him in the power of His resurrection. And when they...

The Angel screams forth, the Voice, the trumpet sounds, I want to come out from among the dead.

1955-01-09 BEGINNING AND ENDING OF THE GENTILE DISPENSATION

"And at that time Michael shall stand, the great prince."

Michael was Christ, of course,

Who fought the angelic wars in heaven with the Devil. Satan and Michael fought together, or fought against each other, rather.

57-10-06   QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 3   CONDUCT, ORDER, DOCTRINE

Which, Moses was never ……No, his body was packed away. The Angels took him; he did not mortify; he did not corrupt. He was a perfect type of Christ. He died, and the Angels packed him away, and even the devil don't even know where he's buried,

and tried to dispute with Michael the Archangel about his burial.

That's what the Bible said. God took him up in the rapture.

1949-12-25  THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST

Not try to wrap the old robe around, but wrap the robe of Christ, the Holy Ghost, around me, as Paul did, and say, "Death, where is your sting? Grave, where is your victory?" enter that dark chamber among those who are dead, listening then for

His voice of the Archangel that shall sound, and we'll be called out from among the dead,

to meet our loved ones again.

The voice of the Archangel raises us from the dead.

When Jesus takes on the role of the Archangel then He is called Michael.

1963-04-21  VICTORY  DAY

We've all got a victory. We've fought through many victories. And a great victory is coming just soon, right around the corner. Our complete V-day will be soon when the

Son of God shall break the skies, and scream with the Voice of the Archangel,

and He shall come again.

And the graves shall open,

and the dead shall walk out.

63-0321   FOURTH SEAL

And then after these Seven Seals are completed,

we find in Revelations 10 there was seven mysterious thunders that John was commissioned to write but then forbidden to write those.

And at the time of those thunders, we find Christ, or the Angel come down

with a rainbow, and put His feet on the land and sea and swore that time had run out at that time.

The Angel comes down after the seven Seals are completed.

64-0719M  THE  FEAST  OF  THE  TRUMPETS

The Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you know. That's His Coming.

But by 1964, the Seventh Seal had not opened, and thus, the Angel had not yet come down.

63-1110   SOULS  THAT  ARE  IN  PRISON  NOW

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.

The Seventh Seal was never revealed to "us", the Bride.

Brother Branham had to reveal the mysteries that are written in the Book.

Only then can the Angel come down and only then the seven Thunders will utter.

1962  12 30    IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?

Capital S-e-a-l.  Seal up those things which the seven Thunders uttered and write them not.

It's on the backside. When the Book is complete....

After it's all done completed, then these seven Thunder voices is the only thing that is stuck on the Book that is not revealed. It's not even written in the Book.

... these Seals are on the backside of the Book,

and at the time that the seventh angel is sounding, all the mysteries that are written in the Book is completed.

The backside of the Book is in some sense like the back cover, which means that all the mysteries that are written in the Book have been revealed.

Thus, the seven Thunders, which are on the backside, cannot be written in the Book. The seven Thunders are not part of the written mysteries that have to be revealed.

1962  12 30    IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?

"And in the days of the voice of the seventh angel

all this mystery that's written within should be finished."

It should be taken care of in that day. Now, do you see what I mean? Are you following me?

Then is the time for the seven voices of Revelations 10 to be revealed.

When the Book is finished,

there's only one thing left, and that is the seven mysterious voices of thunder that was wrote on the backside of the Book that John was forbidden to write.

The mysteries came down but the Angel did not come down

There are two separate comings.

The mysteries come down from God as the Word of God. (The former or teaching rain that started in 1947 when brother Branham began recording his sermons).

Then the mighty Angel comes down to raise the dead. (Time for the latter or harvest rain to start).

1963-03-17   THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEVEN SEALS

…. when the seventh angel begins to sound his mystery, he winds up all of the loose ends that these fellows probed at,

and the mysteries comes down from God as the Word of God and reveals the entire revelation of God.

Then the Godhead and everything else is settled. All the mysteries: serpent's seed and whatever more is to be revealed.

At the sounding of the seventh church age, the last church age, all the loose ends that through these church ages have been probed at, will be wound up together.

And when the Seals are broke and the mystery is revealed, down comes the Angel,

the Messenger, Christ, setting His foot upon the land and upon the sea with a rainbow over His head.

Now remember, this seventh angel is on earth at the time of this coming.

"This coming" is singular.

But he has spoken of two comings.

For which coming is the seventh angel on earth?

The coming down of the mysteries or the coming down of the Angel?

Brother Branham then goes on to say,

1963-03-17   THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEVEN SEALS

And here He returns back in the 10th chapter

after the coming time, that all the mysteries is to be finished,

and the Seals are to be broke, and proclaiming that its time is no more.

And he said, "When the seventh angel has begin to sound,

THEN the mysteries should be finished and time for the Angel to appear.

We're close,

somewhere. That's right.

The Angel returns after the coming time of the mysteries that are to be finished.

“The mysteries should be finished and time for the Angel to appear”.

But the mysteries only finished in December 1965. So, the Angel cannot appear before then.

Read this sentence carefully:

And when the Seals are broke and the mystery is revealed, down comes the Angel,

the Messenger, Christ, setting His foot upon the land and upon the sea with a rainbow over His head.

Now remember,

this seventh angel is on earth at the time of this coming.

The Angel only comes down when the Seals are broken and the mystery has been revealed.

The mystery was only fully revealed by December 1965 when brother Branham’s ministry ended.

The Seventh Seal has never been revealed so far.

REVELATION 8:1   And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

We still do not know what the silence means.

But if God is silent then we should not be talking.

The letters in SILENT can be rearranged to mean LISTEN.

So, the less we try to explain what the Seventh Seal is, the better.  It is a total unwritten mystery.

So, the Angel has not yet come down.

But the seventh Angel had to be on earth when the mysteries of the written Word came down

because revealing the mysteries was his ministry.

So, at the time of “this coming” has to refer to the “mysteries coming” down.

If you claim that the Angel came down when brother Branham was on earth, then when did the Angel come down?

In 1964 he was still waiting for the Angel. So the Angel was not the Cloud of 1963. The Cloud never came down. It was visible for 28 minutes after sunset at a constant height of about 42 kilometers.

What other event in brother Branham’s ministry could be the coming of the Angel?  There is none.

Then the Angel has to perform the resurrection of the dead. That has not yet happened.

So, claiming that the Angel came down when brother Branham was on earth is empty and deceptive. It just leads people to place a misinterpreted quote above Scripture.

Putting quotes instead of Scripture as the basis of your faith will end you up in great Tribulation.

63-0321  THE  FOURTH  SEAL

And then after these Seven Seals are completed, we find in Revelations 10 there was seven mysterious thunders 

that John was commissioned to write but then forbidden to write those.

And at the time of those thunders, we find Christ, or the Angel come down with a rainbow,

and put His feet on the land and sea and swore that time had run out at that time.

After the Seven Seals are completed the Angel comes down.

So far, the Seventh Seal has not been completed.

We know there was silence but we cannot interpret that silence.

63-06-23  STANDING IN THE GAP

And at the sounding of the seventh angel's Message,

all the mysteries of God would be made known. Then come seven mysterious thunders.

All the written mysteries that will prepare the Bride for the catching away have to be known first. Then the mighty Angel can come down. Only then can the seven Thunders utter.

63-0318  THE FIRST SEAL

…. we are to receive a messenger that will take all those loose ends out there and reveal the whole secret of God for the rapturing of the Church. And then there's coming forth seven mysterious thunders that's not even written at all.

The Bride has to have a revelation of the whole written secret of God for the rapturing of the Church. Only then can the Angel come down for the resurrection and the catching up of the Bride, which is the harvest rain or latter rain ministry. Only those who get pulled up will be in the harvest.

1963 03 20   THE THIRD SEAL

the seventh angel, when he sounds, all the mysteries of God should be finished up by his sounding.

Then after it's revealed, the Angel come down from heaven,

which was Christ (Now remember, this angel and is on earth, a messenger). Down comes Christ (You see Him in the 10th chapter of Revelations.), puts one foot upon the land and the other one on the sea, rainbow over His head, eyes and, like--and feet like fire and so forth, raises up His hand and swears by Him that lives forever and ever on the throne, that time shall be no more.

……..    And when He takes this oath, seven thunders utter their voices,

……..    And then goes on and said,

in the day just before these seven thunders,

all the mysteries here are revealed.

The Bible mysteries are revealed before the seven Thunders utter.

After the Bible mysteries are revealed, then the Angel comes down

63-0318  THE  FIRST  SEAL

All right, reveals all the mysteries that's been in the past, all the things in the past:

Revelations 10:1-7. That is to be.

Revelation 10:1 – 7 is placed in the future.

REVELATION 10:7   But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished,

What is the mystery (singular) of God?

Jesus is the Head. The church is His Body. The mystery of the Head is that Jesus is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The Spirit of God above the Jews, then with the Jews as Emmanuel, the Man Jesus, then in the church as the Holy Ghost.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost means God above, with, and in us.

The mystery of His Body is that the last church age must be restored to the first church age.

61-0108  REVELATION CHAPTER FOUR.3

And I remember in my vision when I seen the Presence of the Lord, or His people in that glorious Land yonder, I looked around, I told them... And they told me He would judge me first by the Gospel that I preach.

I said, "Just exactly the way Paul preached It!"

And them millions of people screamed out, "We're resting on that!" See? See. Now, I want it to be so. And we are going to meet there someday.

The seventh angel revealed the mysteries (plural) of God. That is why Revelation 10:7 begins with a “But”, because the Angel can only come down in the future when the mystery (singular) of God is finished, after the last church is restored to the first church age.

64-0802  THE FUTURE HOME OF THE HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM AND THE EARTHLY BRIDE

But, you see, there is no such a thing as eight days; you go back to the first day again, see, the first day.

There is no eighth messenger. There is no eighth church age. The seventh age must return to the first age.

All the mysteries that were lost in the Dark Ages have to be revealed. This could only happen after brother Branham got a revelation of the Seals. Once the six Seals were revealed, then that opened the door to the revelation of the other mysteries that the early church had once believed.

Now comes the key thought.

The mysteries must be revealed to the Bride BEFORE the Angel comes down.

It is not enough for brother Branham to know the mysteries. The Bride must also know the mysteries.

Brother Branham’s spectacular ministry in the past was just attracting attention to what was to be the climax of his career.

Thus Revelation 10:7 is past tense in terms of his ministry on earth.

But it is future tense as well because each Bride member has to gain deeper insights from his quotes by taking his quotes back to Scripture so

that we can start to understand the Scripture for ourselves.

The Bible has to be an open Book to us.

Then only will we recognize the resurrection and the seven Thunders which are the latter (or harvest) rain that will pull us off this earth at the Coming of the Lord.

Brother Branham left the scene in 1965 but after that,

his Message will continue in the days of his voice.

In all the days both before and after his death, his recorded messages and printed sermons are available.

In the future years, long after he had gone home, we have to grasp the significance of his preaching.

We must then be able to base our beliefs on Scripture. We need these insights from his teachings to get back to the beliefs of the apostles and to prepare for the coming of the mighty Angel when He brings forth the resurrection.

Focus on the revealed Word not on the prophet

William Branham, the man, is not the key issue.

It is the message that he preached that is important.

That is why the seven angels who came to reveal the seven Seals were probably seen in the form of a supernatural Cloud, eight days earlier and 200 miles north of where brother Branham was, at Sunset Peak.  The Cloud was photographed when brother Branham was not even there at Flagstaff. He knew nothing about the Cloud until some months after he finished preaching the Seals.

The revealed Word is the important issue, not the man who revealed the Word.

JOHN 3:30   He must increase, but I must decrease.

The famous words of John the Baptist. He introduced the First Coming of Jesus and set the benchmark for the prophet whose Message would introduce the Second Coming of Jesus.

John pointed out Jesus as a man who walked around amongst men.

Brother Branham pointed out Jesus as He walks around through the pages of the revealed and understood Bible.

But there is a big difference. It is not William Branham who foreruns the Second Coming, but his Message that will do so.

How? By revealing Jesus as the Word of God that can be understood.

61-0316  THE CHURCH CHOOSING LAW FOR GRACE

The seventeenth person I baptized, all at once I heard something say, "Look up." And I looked, and here come that Pillar of Fire circling down out of the heaven. Stood right over where I was at and said, "As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ,

your message will forerun the second coming of Christ."

63-1110  HE  THAT   IS  IN  YOU

Believe all the Message. Believe That. If it isn't written in the Bible, then don't you believe it.

62-0318  THE  SPOKEN  WORD  IS  THE  ORIGINAL  SEED  1

My mission, I believe, that God has called me for. I have to say some personal things today, because that's what I told you I'd do, see, and tell the world.

My mission, I believe, to the earth, is (what?) is to forerun the coming Word, see, the coming Word which is Christ.

Do not focus on the messenger, focus on the Word that he revealed.

64-0823  QUESTIONS  AND  ANSWERS.1

But those who can accept the Word in Its fullness,

not me preaching It, because It's the Bible says so.

63-0324  THE SEVENTH SEAL

May you always bear that in mind: to be a gem in the crown of Jesus Christ. Paul said to the church, "You are the jewels, gems of His crown." We want to be the gems of the crown of Jesus Christ.

We don't want never put a man in it.

You forget anything about me. I am your brother, a sinner saved by grace, not fit to live;

 that's exactly the truth; and I ain't saying that to be humble; that's facts.

There's nothing in me, not one sound thing at all.

But the grace of God has let my poor dimming eyes look beyond the curtain of time and see those things yonder, and I come back.

[See things in the future. Seventh Seal and seven Thunders]

There's no great man among us.

We're not great men, not great women--we're all brothers and sisters, all the same in the same bracket. We're no great.

One don't make one greater than the other one--not a thing at all to do.

No, sir. But we're just all human beings.

Don't try to interpret the things.

Don't try to do anything more than just live a close life, giving praise and honor to Jesus Christ.

Forcing a woman (or church) to be subject to the will of a man is just spiritual rape.

You dominate another in order to twist them to fit your image because you only love the reflection of yourself in them.

Brother Branham did not introduce Jesus as a Man, he introduced Jesus as the revealed Word so that we can understand the written mysteries of the Bible. As we understand the Scriptures better, so we draw closer to the first church-age Christians.

Please notice the mistake that was introduced by the publisher in the 1993 edition of “The Revelation of the Seven Seals” book.

The photograph of the Pillar of Fire over brother Branham’s head has the angel making the statement

“As John the Baptist foreran the first coming of Christ, you will forerun His Second Coming”.

It is incorrect. His message will forerun the Second Coming of Christ.

His taped messages were from 1947 to 1965 which is 18 years of preaching.

His books, tapes,  MP3 and MP4s, and internet sites have spread his teachings worldwide from 1965 to 2024, so far. That is almost 60 years and counting.

So, his message, in the days of his voice, has been active in the future for three times as long as he ever preached.

65-0218  THE  SEED  IS  NOT  HEIR  WITH  THE  SHUCK

And a Voice came from it, said, "As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ,

your Message will forerun the Second Coming."

He left the scene almost 60 years ago,

but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel.

We can hear his recorded sermons or read the printed sermons and get our beliefs straightened out.  Thus, his Message is the important issue. Not himself.

As a mortal man, his days were limited but his Message will live on in the future days, long after he has gone.

The publisher unfortunately wanted to emphasize the man.

That is not a good idea.

Consider another mistake made by the publishers.

The Bible says “In the days of the voice of the seventh angel”.

That is how the booklets used to be printed. Suddenly today the booklets and tapes have become the “Voice of God”. This is not correct.

The expression “ Voice of God” never appears in the New Testament.

So, we were never promised the “ Voice of God” in our age.

Again, the publishers follow their own opinion, which is not based on Scripture, in their attempt to elevate the man William Branham.

60-0804  AS  THE  EAGLE  STIRRETH  UP  HER  NEST

We know the Bible is right;

that's not my voice; that's God's voice, speaking

61-0108  REVELATION CHAPTER FOUR.3

And the Voice of God is His Word.

Sensationalism breeds extremism, error, and exaggeration.

We need calm heads and cautious advice.

1965-0725  THE  ANOINTED  ONES  AT  THE  END  TIME

LUKE 18: 8   I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh,

shall he find faith on the earth?

Now that's the question. Here is where I wanted to get to, in Revelations 10. We'll get to it in a few minutes, and another Scripture verse.

He said, "In the days of the Message of the seventh angel,

the mystery of God ought to be finished."

Here is the question, is, if you follow in that line in this hour,

will it be finished?

"Will I find the Faith?"

Will Malachi 4 be fulfilled in this time,

"Restore the Faith of the children, back to the Faith of the fathers, the original, the Word"? See?

In the last few months of his life brother Branham was concerned that believers would NOT be restored to the early church. That they would NOT return to Scripture.

Faith only comes from the written Word.

But message believers no longer take the quotes and run them through the Bible. Simply, because they cannot. They have the wrong interpretation.

The single Thunder and the shout have never happened

Time never ended.

63-1110  HE  THAT  IS  IN  YOU

So, but you see, if God is in it, and telling the Truth, this is the last time of history. This is the last of the world's history. It's closing.

There will be time no more, someday.

Nine months after the Cloud and he says that time will end someday in the future.

64-0830   QUESTIONS  AND  ANSWERS.3

Question :  If time ceased when the Seals were opened, then the Millennium is also finished, is it not?

Answer : No, no. Time didn't cease when the Seals were opened.

Misunderstood it. 

What happened, the mysteries was revealed, not time ceased.

….Because see? We got a thousand years after the church has gone home and comes back upon the earth. 

Then time ceases in the new heavens and new earth.

65-1127   TRYING  TO  DO  GOD  A  SERVICE  WITHOUT  IT  BEING  GOD'S  WILL

…came down from Heaven, and He put His foot on the land and sea, and swore by Him that lives forever that time shall be no more." Is that right? A rainbow around His head, and all these things just taking place. That Angel was Christ! Certainly! But what did He say? "But in the days of the seventh angel, the seventh church age." Always it's right at the end of the church age where they got the thing so... the ecclesiastic so messed up

until God sends a messenger, and that's the Message to that church age.

Then they take his message, 'cause he just lives a little while, and God...

then they take his message instead of carrying it on with the rest of It, they make a denomination.

And then they come make another denomination; another messenger, take another one.

The message pastors have set themselves up to be the messenger to follow brother Branham and improve on his message. Thus they interpret his quotes and merely make another unscriptural denomination which is dominated by a human leader.

There are already 45000 different types of unscriptural denominations. Do we really need more?

1965-12-04    THE RAPTURE

A shout; and then a voice; and then a trumpet.

Shout: a messenger getting the people ready.

But this never happened in his lifetime.

One month before he died and he was still waiting for the shout to happen in the future.
65-1127  I  HAVE  HEARD  BUT  NOW  I  SEE
Dear God, in this solemn moment, it's going to be a time like this when there really will be a clap of thunder someday,

and the Son of God shall descend from the heavens with a shout,

with the voice of the Archangel, and the trump of God, the dead in Christ shall rise.

The "shout" was not brother Branham proving his revelations from Scripture.

The "shout" will be when the individual Bride members can prove his revelations from Scripture.
62-1111 WHY I'M AGAINST ORGANIZED RELIGION
After the Message of "Come out of her!" "After these things," watch,

"is the shout of the Bride saints,

with the Bridegroom, going to the Marriage of the Lamb." How close are we then, brother? What's the last call? Come out of Babylon!
Now, my brethren, that's the reason I'm against it. It's unscriptural.

1965-12-04    THE RAPTURE

The second is a voice of the resurrection:

the same voice, that, a loud voice in Saint John 11:38-44, that called Lazarus from the grave.

Getting the Bride together; and then the resurrection of the dead,

see; to be caught up with It. Now watch the three things takes place. The next is what? Was a trumpet. A voice... A shout; a voice; a trumpet.

Now, the third thing, is a trumpet. Which, always, at

the feast of trumpets,

is calling the people to the feast. And that'll be the Bride's Supper, the Lamb's Supper with the Bride, in the sky. See?

The first thing comes forth is His Message, calling the Bride together. The next thing is a resurrection of the sleeping Bride; the ones died, back in the other ages, they're caught together.

And the trumpet, the Feast in the heavens, in the sky. Why, that's the thing that takes place, friends.

The last trump calls us up to Heaven.

Is President Trump a sign of the times? That we are close to the end? His name is significant.

He wants to make America great again.

We must make the Bible great again.

The "shout" was not brother Branham preaching the message.

The shout is when the Bride members can prove the message from Scripture.

One month before he died and brother Branham was still waiting for the shout and for the Angel to come down.

63-0317  THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEVEN SEALS

But then in the last age, all these mysteries are to be solved and handed out, and the Seals are to be opened by the Lamb and

revealed to the Church, and THEN time is no more……

And when the Seventh Seal is broken, the mystery of God that's sealed in these mysterious seals is finished; until the day that Seal is broken, then it's revealed what's on the inside of it.

…..His intercessory days is over, the mediatorial days.

That is when this Angel is  going to stand there (You wait till we get in the Seals.) and time shall be no more.

….Time has run out.  Revelation 10:6, there is no more time

Time runs out somewhere in the future.

When you stop aging or getting older then you are out of time.

You only drop out of time when you get your new eternal body.

Then you will also drop out of space as we know it. You will be able to travel through space like a thought.
