No Gentile prophet after William Branham

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

The Jewish candlestick has a pattern of 7

The Bible pattern is to have seven messengers (or angels) that are represented by seven stars.

REVELATION 1:13   And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man,

REVELATION 1:16   And he had in his right hand seven stars:

There is only a seven-branched candlestick that represents the 2000 years of the church ages. Thus, there are only seven church ages.

REVELATION 1:17   And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.

John saw Jesus in the midst of the candlesticks. God lit the middle candlestick on the Day of Pentecost.

John never questioned Jesus. He just fell down before Him. Thus, we cannot question the Bible, we must just uncover its mysteries and obey what is written.

The middle flame represents the first church age that wrote the New Testament. This is when the apostles established the truth of God’s Word. The first church age is the only church age that can be trusted.

Thus, the first church age is the only important church age when the Seed of God’s Word was planted by the apostles.

The original Bible truth was lost in church ages 2, 3, and 4.

In church age 4 which represents the Dark Ages, the Bible was banned by the Roman Catholic church.

Bible truth was slowly restored in church ages 5, 6, and 7.

Church age 7 is a strange age.

That is when we should be restored back to the first church age, but the Bible says nothing good about the 7^th church age. The churches all slide into apostasy.

Today we see the churches allowing gay rights and same-sex marriages, as it was in Sodom.

The harvest in the last church age can only happen when the last church age beliefs are the same as the first church age beliefs.

The seed that is harvested has to be the same as the seed that was planted.

Our only safety in the seventh church age of the eagle is to be fully restored back to the first church age beliefs of the apostles of the Lion of the tribe of Judah Who is Jesus, the Word of God.

After the death of John the Baptist, Jesus spoke of a future prophet who would restore the original truth.

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

If Elijah, the end-time prophet to the Gentiles, restores ALL things then there is nothing left for another prophet to restore.

The only man who fulfills this prophecy is William Branham from America.

The Revelation of the Seven Seals was the most significant step in the restoration of all things. No other preacher has ever been able to make much sense out of the Seven Seals.

63-0318  THE FIRST SEAL

Takes the Book of Seals and breaks them and shows the seventh angel,

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

In order to restore us to the first church age, brother Branham had to reveal the Bible's mysteries. These Bible mysteries were the most important part of his incredible ministry.

But Revelation 10:7 speaks of the “mystery” of God not the “mysteries” of God. Why the difference?

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.

All the modern-day prophets who claim that they are the next prophet after brother Branham, cannot explain the singular “mystery”. They keep claiming that they know how to explain the mysteries (plural).

But what is important is the mystery (singular). What is that mystery?

The next puzzle is that Elijah must restore all things (plural), yet the mystery (singular) “should” be finished, not “would” be finished. So there is an element of uncertainty here. Who is to blame if the mystery does not get finished?

REVELATION 10:7   … the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Brother Branham did restore all the mysteries of Scripture. He completed his ministry in an amazing way by proving his beliefs from Scripture. Thus he was able to restore the original beliefs of the New Testament apostles who were the spiritual fathers of the church.

It is his followers, mainly Message preachers, who have messed up and stopped the people from being restored back to the New Testament church. The New Testament never promised a man at the end who would be the Voice of God. That is unscriptural. Yet brother Branham's sermons are referred to as the "Voice of God". Unscriptural. He is the voice of the seventh angel.

Jesus never said that He would come in a desert.

But many followers of brother Branham claim that Jesus came to Sunset Mountain (or Sunset Peak) when brother Branham was there on 8 March 1963 while hunting Javelina pigs.

MATTHEW 24:26    Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth:

Thus Jesus never came on Sunset Peak (or Sunset Mountain) near Tucson in Arizona as that is in the Great Sonoran desert.

This next poster was sent around the world as if Christ came to Sunset Mountain when brother Branham was there on 8 March 1963.

The poster claims that the seven angels ascended after speaking to brother Branham and formed this cloud.

But that is not true. The cloud was photographed on 28 February 1963 over the city of Flagstaff in Arizona.

The seven angels came invisibly to brother Branham at Sunset Mountain and left invisibly. They formed no cloud on that day.

Message preachers thus forsake Scripture and basic facts to make sensational claims that are totally untrue.

They dominate others in order to twist them to fit their image because they only love the reflection of themselves in others.

Then Message preachers even forsake brother Branham's quotes as they indulge in their love of speculation because they want people to think that they are clever.

Brother Branham never said that the seven Thunders have uttered.

But Message preachers claim that the Thunders have uttered and thus interpret the Thunders into a haphazard non-Message.

Fanciful and mediocre interpretations of brother Branham's quotes, that cannot be proven from Scripture, are just a big bloated cloud of useless rhetoric floating around in the media. However, this is very effective in stopping the end-time Bride from returning to the beliefs of the New Testament apostles. Reading through the Message-websites that are full of man-made opinions takes up people's time and wrecks their focus that should be based on getting back to the New Testament beliefs.

But the mystery (singular) of God is that the last church age must return back to the beliefs of the first church age. That is what “should” happen.

So, what else can stop the mystery of restoration back to the beginning from happening? After all, the mysteries have been revealed.

A major problem is our modern church structure.

As long as Message-churches have a pastor as the head of the church, they have the wrong structure because a pastor was never put in charge of a New Testament church. Thus, with a pastor in charge, they cannot return to the New Testament-type of church.

As long as talented preachers claim that they are the unscriptural eighth messenger or an unscriptural prophet to follow brother Branham, then they also cannot return to the New Testament church of the Scriptural apostles.

Each pastor, as the so-called unscriptural head of his church, will have different beliefs from the next pastor. Thus, the Message-churches have split up into more than a hundred different varieties.

Message beliefs are now built up on how the pastors and self-proclaimed prophets interpret certain carefully selected quotes made by William Branham. Any quote or Scripture or fact that contradicts their theory is deliberately ignored.

“I have a quote” has replaced “It is written”.

Thus, the Message-preachers move away from Scripture.

In the New Testament, each local church was run by a group of local elders. There was no one-man-boss of the church.

I PETER 5:1   The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

:2   Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

:3   Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

"Neither being lords".  No man is the boss of the church.

Modern-day prophets know little of the Bible

Ask any self-proclaimed prophet why only Six Seals are mentioned in Revelation Chapter 6?

Then, why is there a gap of a whole Chapter (Revelation Chapter 7) before the Seventh Seal is mentioned in Revelation 8:1?

This will illustrate his shallow understanding of Scripture.

Ask the self-proclaimed prophet why “the evening and the morning were the first day” in Genesis Chapter 1? Why is the night left out? Why is the afternoon left out?

Why was nothing “good” said about the second Day in Genesis Chapter 1?

How could there be light on the first day if the sun was only made on the fourth day?

There are so many different questions like these that Message preachers cannot answer because they lost Scriptural direction by misinterpreting quotes. Thus Message-preachers have become increasingly unscriptural.

They claimed that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 election. That shows how little they know about God.

Ask any self-proclaimed prophet where Daniel heard the seven Thunders in the Bible. I do not think that he will give you a convincing answer.

56-0617  REVELATION BOOK OF SYMBOLS

But remember, Daniel was told by the Angel.

Daniel heard seven thunders; they uttered their voices.

Daniel grabbed his pen and started to write, and the Angel said, "Don't you write it." Amen.

Look at God’s original Plan that brother Branham fulfilled. There are a number of Scriptures that relate to his ministry that we will consider. Certain world events were also linked to his ministry. There is no similar plan in Scripture for another prophet to fulfill in our day.

Ask a modern prophet to explain these verses.

DANIEL 12:11   And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

What are the 1290 days?

Where do they fit into history?

DANIEL 12:12   Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

What is this prophecy referring to?

Modern-day prophets who rely on interpreting quotes have no idea.

Daniel makes a frightening prophecy.

DANIEL 12:10   Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly:

and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

The wicked cannot understand these Bible mysteries. But there are so many preachers today who cannot understand these prophecies. What does that tell us?

However, if we want to claim that we are part of the wise virgins of Matthew Chapter 25, then we have to be able to understand these prophecies.

John the Baptist and brother Branham share a prophecy

MALACHI 4:5   Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

The “day of the Lord” is the 3½ years of great tribulation that starts when the seventh church age ends.

MALACHI 4:6   And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

A curse is something that lingers on for a while.

Today, that curse refers to the dangerous radiation that lingers on after an atomic bomb has exploded.

First, Elijah has to turn the disobedient older Jewish fathers to the truth presented by Jesus and His disciples who as young men were classified as children.

This is exactly what John the Baptist did.

LUKE 1:13   But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

John turned the disobedient Jewish fathers to the wisdom of the children, the younger generation of Jesus, and the apostles.

He was the “voice” in the wilderness.

MATTHEW 3:1   In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

LUKE 1:17   And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias,

to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,

and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

This is only the first half of Malachi 4:6. The disobedient Jewish fathers turn to the wisdom of the just. Jesus and the apostles.

Notice that the second half of Malachi 4:6 was never fulfilled.

As the years went by, these apostolic Jewish children matured and became the apostolic fathers of the early church.

A later generation of spiritual young men had to start to restore the truth out of the dead Dark Ages. They were the brave reformers like Martin Luther who restored salvation by grace through faith. They include the exceptionally inspired translators of the King James Bible. Then came the holiness and outreach of John Wesley that led to the golden missionary age.

When the seventh church started with the Pentecostal gifts being bestowed on the next generation of spiritual children, then brother Branham, as the second Elijah spirit, had to reveal the mysteries of Scripture to the end-time children.

In the end, the final mystery of God could happen which was turning the heart of the end-time children to the apostolic fathers. This process is hampered by those Message-preachers who corrupt brother Branham's teachings. At the end, we must be just like the original New Testament church. But most Message churches are not trying to be like the New Testament church as that would cost their pastors their well-paid jobs.

Brother Branham has to fit into the right part of history in order to be Elijah the prophet.

MALACHI 4:6   … and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

A curse is something that lingers. Today it refers to the biggest curse of our scientific inventions, the nuclear radiation that lingers on after nuclear and atomic explosions.

The biggest horror in the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was President Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons.

The Second World War ended as the shocked world was ushered into the atomic age in 1945 when two atomic bombs exploded over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.

About 80 million people died in World War 2. The awful radioactive mushroom smoke clouds loomed menacingly over the two cities. A new age was looming. The two pillars of radioactive smoke were a preview of the future 3½ years of great tribulation, with its nuclear explosions which will be the final end of the world as we know it.

Brother Branham prophesied that America will finally be destroyed by Russian nuclear explosions.

The lingering radiation from the atomic explosions warned us of the curse promised by Malachi.

These explosions were predicted by the prophet Joel.

“Wonders in heaven”. Making us look high up into the atmosphere or sky. The Hiroshima smoke cloud rose to 18 kilometers.

JOEL 2:30   And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

Heavens. Plural. Two different places on two separate days. The skies above Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

“Blood”. The most destructive war ever. The Second World War lasted 6 years and killed about 80 million people.

“Fire”.  For six years from 1939 to 1945 the world saw the fire of exploding shells and bombs as cities burned.

“Pillars of smoke”. The awful stems of the two mushroom smoke clouds.

The two atomic bombs were a shocking wake-up call in 1945. Something was about to happen in God’s great Plan.

1947 was a key year

Three very important events were going to start in 1947.

In 1947, the transistor was invented in America.

The transistor is the foundation of modern electronics that enables us to build computers, cellphones, and satellites.

These combine to produce the internet which is the only way that the Gospel can travel to the ends of the world.

MATTHEW 24:14   And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Thus, the internet is a sign of the end time.

Thanks to the internet, you can sit at home and study from a website. Emails and Zoom meetings also enable individuals from all over the world to communicate from their homes as if they are all sitting in the same room.

There never was a church building until about AD 220, according to the archaeologists. Christians met in homes because they were so often under persecution from the pagan Roman government that they did not dare have public meetings.

The first church age never had church buildings and we have to get back to the beliefs of the first church age.

1947 was significant for the Jews.

The United Nations gave them the right to fight for a small portion of their Promised Land in 1947. After four wars against the Arabs, the Jews regained their territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.  This had to happen because they are destined to meet Messiah at Jerusalem during great tribulation, once the church ages are finished.

Donald Trump had no chance of winning the 2016 Presidential election. Every poll wrote him off. But he was the only man brave enough to stand up to the Arab nations and recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. So, God made him President. Message pastors claimed Hillary Clinton would win because they are so good at misinterpreting quotes, and have lost touch with God’s Plan.

1947 was significant for the church.

An angel visited brother Branham in 1947 and gave him an amazing gift of healing and discernment which launched him on his incredible supernatural ministry. Then he would start to reveal the mysteries of Scripture too. He began recording his sermons in 1947 using the newly invented tape recorder to record his voice. The tape recorder was invented during the war to pick up the voices of spies who could only send out messages at odd times. Only when the war was over in 1945, was the tape recorder released. The first people to use the tape recorder were singers. Then brother Branham began to use it to record his sermons. The “voice” of the seventh angel. (NOT the “Voice of God”. That is never mentioned in the New Testament.)

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.

1963 was a critical year

If brother Branham was Elijah, then there had to be a king Ahab and Jezebel in his days, as his enemy.

Jezebel refers to the Roman Catholic church. King Ahab refers to President John Kennedy who was the first Roman Catholic President of America from 1960 to 1963. This was a crucial change in American politics as the Pilgrim Fathers had moved to America to escape Catholic persecution in Europe.

Brother Branham saw a vision of a cruel and beautiful woman ruling America and leading America to ruin. He thought this woman might be the Roman Catholic church.

1963 was a crucial year because that was when brother Branham revealed the Seven Seals which revealed that Roman Catholicism is the ancient enemy of truth down through the seven church ages. That burst of Light from the revealed Seven Seals was so bright that it killed the Pope in 1963 and also the Catholic President John Kennedy in 1963. Because they were the rulers of darkness.

1963 was prophesied by the apostle Peter who quoted the prophet Joel but slightly changed the atomic bomb “pillars of smoke”. Instead, he spoke of “vapour of smoke”, a smoke cloud.

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

Heaven. Singular. One place. The sky above Flagstaff in Arizona.

On 28 February 1963, two incredibly high clouds were seen at 42 kilometers height. (“Wonders in the heaven above”).

The bigger cloud was supernatural formed by angels’ wings. The smaller cloud, 20 miles behind the bigger cloud, was a smoke cloud from an exploded rocket. Both clouds briefly appeared over the city of Flagstaff in Arizona for 28 minutes, just after sunset. The two clouds were visible from the city of Winslow as they were moving from West to East in the direction of Winslow.

“Blood”. President Kennedy was shockingly shot in the head and on TV the world saw his blood on his wife’s dress. Kennedy wanted to reduce American involvement in Vietnam just before he was killed in November 1963. In 1965 President Johnson, in a shocking miscalculation, escalated the Vietnam war and 58000 American soldiers died before America withdrew defeated in 1975.

1965 was the year brother Branham died. America rejected his Bible revelations and historians say that between 1965 and 1980, America did its best to commit suicide. The price they paid for rejecting the truth.

“Fire”. Civil rights riots broke out in many American cities during the late 1960s with rioters burning the cities.

“Vapour of smoke”. Water vapour makes a rain cloud. So, smoke vapour makes a smoke cloud.

During the afternoon on 28 February 1963 a high-altitude rocket was fired from Vandenberg Airforce Base in California. The rocket veered off-course and was exploded at a height of 42 kilometers. The same height as the supernatural cloud. At that height, the air is too thin and the smoke particles are too far apart to be seen in daylight against the sun’s glare in the blue sky.

The broken line shows the path of the invisible high-altitude smoke cloud as it travelled for four hours before becoming visible over Flagstaff for 28 minutes, just after sunset when the sky is black with no glare from the sun.

The next picture is not a photograph, it is a picture to show how a high-altitude cloud can be briefly seen after sunset against a black sky. Thus, called a noctilucent cloud. (Visible at night).

These 42-kilometer-high-altitude clouds are not natural clouds and have to be made artificially from smoke from an explosion or the water vapour in a jet plane’s exhaust. In modern days they also spray chemicals to produce artificial clouds but they did not have that technology in 1963.

Very high altitude clouds above 25 kilometers are invisible by day but briefly visible at night, just after sunset.

The cloud was the sign of the Son of man in heaven

Heaven. Singular. One place. Above Flagstaff in Arizona.

MATTHEW 24:30   And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:

Doctor James McDonald from the Tucson observatory took a photograph of the supernatural cloud over Flagstaff. Flagstaff is in a “dark sky region” which has strict lighting rules and is thus less affected by man-made lights, giving one a clearer view of the heavens. From Flagstaff, the first photographs were taken of Pluto and its main moon. These are regarded as more-or-less the outer limits of our solar system. So Flagstaff enabled us to see further out into our solar system.

So, Flagstaff was a suitable place for a sign to appear in the heaven that God was going to extend our understanding of the Bible mysteries to give us a much clearer and deeper insight.

In 1963 God revealed the Seven Seals to William Branham which gave us a much deeper view into the mysteries of Scripture.

The sign was a combination of a high-altitude smoke cloud and an even bigger supernatural cloud made from angels’ wings. The two clouds combined as the sign of the third exodus, the Bride coming out of the church. The sign was a natural and a supernatural combination.

The sign of the first exodus, the Israelites coming out of Egypt was a natural bush burning with a supernatural fire.

The sign of the second exodus, the church coming out of the Jews, was a natural Baby conceived supernaturally by a virgin.

LUKE 2:12   And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

ISAIAH 7:14   Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

This was the photograph of the supernatural cloud. There was no face in the cloud.

The Cloud was photographed over Flagstaff, not over Sunset Peak.

The cloud moved from west to east and stayed at 42 kilometers height for the 28 minutes that it was visible.

The Message is more important than the messenger

The supernatural cloud put no emphasis on William Branham as a man. He was living in Tucson, not Flagstaff. He knew nothing about the cloud until a few months later when he was shown a photostat copy of the back page of Life magazine.

The emphasis of the cloud-sign was on his message that would make us understand how to interpret the deep mysteries of Scripture. Flagstaff astronomers extended the view of our solar system by discovering Pluto and its main moon. This was symbolic of brother Branham extending our understanding of the Bible by being able to explain the mysteries of the symbols and the patterns in the Scripture.

Brother Branham revealed and explained the Bible’s truth but that did not produce the rapture to catch the Bride up to Heaven. It is essential that the Bride individuals are able to explain these truths from the Bible for themselves. Until we can base our beliefs on Scripture and thus be able to explain the deeper mysteries, there will be no rapture.

It was not enough that brother Branham could explain the truth from Scripture. We must also be able to explain the truth from Scripture. In a classroom, the teacher knows the work. However, the students do not get promoted until they know the work for themselves.

So, Satan does everything to stop you from being Scriptural. Instead, he will offer you some man or some church with unscriptural ideas, for you to follow.

In 1933 the angel addressed brother Branham as he baptized in the Ohio River.

61-0112  QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Don't you know what the very first thing He said down there on the river? Don't you remember what He said? "As John the Baptist was sent forth to forerun the first coming of Christ, your message..."

It's the message that will forerun the second coming of Christ.

That's what the Angel of the Lord said.

Now, now notice. Now, "As John the Baptist..." Now, all of you has heard that. You've read it in books, and heard people that standing there hearing It, and everything else, when that Angel Itself spoke that message, "As John the Baptist was sent forth to forerun the first coming of Christ,

you're sent with this message, will forerun the second coming of Christ." Now, "the message."

63-0318  THE FIRST SEAL

Takes the Book and... of Seals and breaks them and shows the seventh angel,

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

Brother Branham’s amazing supernatural ministry attracted much attention.

But the real purpose of his ministry was to reveal the mysteries of Scripture. Not for his followers to replace Scripture with their numerous unscriptural versions of his quotes that they misinterpreted.

John the Baptist foreran Jesus as a Man. William Branham foreran Jesus as the revealed Word of God that would enable the end-time Bride to believe the same as the early church of the apostles. Message people who follow brother Branham often made the fatal mistake of thinking that he was Jesus Christ, the Son of man. They wrongly called him the “Voice of God”. There is no such expression in the New Testament. The King James Bible is the Voice of God.

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.

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.

64-0830  QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.3

To make me the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, would be an antichrist (See?), for that Person of the Lord Jesus is setting at the right hand of the Majesty on high, and will come again in great power and glory. But for His Life that was in Him being upon me, and upon you who have Him, it's exactly the truth; and you become Christ.

Mistakes brother Branham made about the 1963 cloud

He never saw the cloud.

He got the wrong date and the wrong place. The cloud was on 28 February 1963 over Flagstaff.

He thought the angels that came to him on 8 March at Sunset Peak formed the cloud. No cloud was formed on that day.

He got the date of the cloud that Dr. James McDonald photographed wrong. The javelina pig hunting season at Sunset Peak only opened on 1 March.

(So, if he was hunting on 28 February, as his followers wrongly claim, then he was hunting illegally).

Look how confused he is about the date of the cloud.

63-0601  COME  FOLLOW  ME

And just as I looked, right there was them Angels just as plain as They could be, setting right there in that picture. See? I looked to see when it was,

and it was time, same, about day or two before, or day or two after I was up there.

I looked where it was at. "Northeast of Flagstaff, or Prescott, which is below Flagstaff." Well, that's just where we was at, see, just exactly.

He thought that the cloud was photographed a day or two before or after he got to Sunset Peak.

The photo was 28 February. The hunting season started on 1 March.

A day or two before 28 February is wrong as it has him hunting illegally.

A day or two after 28 February is 1 March or 2 March which is impossible as he was in Houston, preaching, on 4 March.

His daughter Becky in the pamphlet “Return to Sunset” said he got to Sunset Peak on 6  March 1963 after preaching “A Absolute” in Houston, Texas on 4 March. On 5 March he had to do the 1000-mile return journey by car from Houston to Tucson.

On 8 March 1963, at Sunset Peak, 7 angels came to him and gave him the commission to reveal the 7 Seals which he did later that month at Jeffersonville.

Sixteen days after 8 March was 24 March when he preached the Seventh Seal.

63-0324E  THE  SEVENTH  SEAL

(16 days after the 7 angels visited him. A little over 2 weeks)

Notice, there's witnesses of three setting in here, that

a week ago (a little over a week ago)

I was up way back into the mountains, nearly to Mexico, with two brethren that's setting here, picking cocklebur--or sand burrs off of my trouser leg, and a blast went off that almost, looked like, shook the mountains down.

He described the sixteen-day time interval as if it was a little over a week ago. That would be about 10 days. Sixteen days is a little over two weeks.

Thus, brother Branham was very unsure about just when he was hunting at Sunset Peak.

Remember, brother Branham never saw the supernatural cloud. Nor did he see the second smoke cloud.

He assumed that the angels formed the cloud when they came to visit him at Sunset Peak, eight days after being photographed at Flagstaff.

But he did not know if the angels were moving up or down when they formed the cloud.

63-0623   STANDING  IN  THE  GAP

And, now, I didn't know at the time, that they were taking pictures of that, scientists was,

as the Angels lowered themselves from Heaven,

to bring the Message.

… See the pyramid of the Cloud? I was standing just below this.

He thought the angels were photographed coming down.

65-0718   SPIRITUAL FOOD IN DUE SEASON

… and I and Brother Gene Norman, standing right there present when it went up.

They took the picture, still they don't know what about it.

Here he thinks the photograph was taken when the angels went up.

The cloud neither moved up nor down. It stayed at 42 kilometers height for 28 minutes.

63-0630   IS  YOUR  LIFE  WORTHY  OF  THE  GOSPEL

And say, let's say, maybe it's fifteen miles till you can't get no more vapor.

But this is twenty-six miles, and she hung there all day.

See? They don't know what It is. But, thank the Lord, we do.

Now He thought that the cloud hung in the sky all day. At that height, a cloud is invisible against the glare of the blue sky during daylight.

The angels came to him at eight o’clock in the morning. The cloud was photographed just after sunset.

Three statements that he made are wrong as they contradict each other.

Do not build a doctrine on cloud quotes as brother Branham never saw the cloud. He was just guessing.

The cloud of 28 February was simply the sign of the son of man in the heaven. The son of man is the revealed Word. Christ was about to be revealed in His Word as brother Branham revealed the Seven Seals later in March 1963.

Message people who follow brother Branham mistook the sign for the event.

They claim the Lord came as the cloud or the cloud was the mighty Angel of Revelation 10 coming down. But the cloud just hung in the air without moving up or down.

65-0725  WHAT  IS  THE  ATTRACTION  ON  THE  MOUNTAIN

So high they can't be fog, mist, or nothing up there. "What did it? Where is it at?" They're just as puzzled of that supernatural Halo hanging yonder in the sky

Message people also mistook the revelation of the Seven Seals for being the opening of the Seven Seals which happens in Heaven in Revelation Chapter 6, after the rapture that catches up the Bride to Heaven.

The church is the Body of Christ

EPHESIANS 5:23   For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

COLOSSIANS 1:18   And he is the head of the body, the church:

God sitting on His throne.

His Head represents Jesus Christ, the head of the church.

His Body represents the church that has developed over 2000 years. The Body has to be in complete submission to the Head.

REVELATION 4:2   And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

There is only one God, Jesus Christ.

What is the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost? Lord Jesus  Christ.

God above us as the Father. God with us as the Son. God in us as the Holy Ghost.

REVELATION 4:6   And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

Eyes speak of wisdom. They are full of eyes. Full of wisdom.

Eyes before means they know the future.

Eyes behind means they know the past.

The four beasts are the four bodyguards who protect the Body of the Lord, the church, during the seven church ages where the church had to die and be restored back to the truth again.

REVELATION 4:7   And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

The lion represented the true Word that was established in the first church age by the apostles.

The ox represented the truth getting lost at the Council of Nicaea in AD 325 when the unscriptural word Trinity was forced on the church. Then the truth died as more and more unscriptural ideas were added. Christmas. 25 December. Christmas tree. Easter Monday. Good Friday. Easter bunnies. Easter eggs. Lent. Etc.

The ox then represents the truth getting buried in the dirt of the Dark Ages when the Roman Catholic church ruled.

The man represented the wisdom of human scholarship as Martin Luther restored salvation by grace through faith. Forty-seven human scholars translated the King James Bible which was then checked for about 160 years before being published as the Absolute Truth. The British Empire spread over one-quarter of the world and John Wesley in England promoted holiness and outreach. This led to the great missionary age where tens of thousands of missionaries carried the King James Bible throughout the British Empire and further abroad.

The eagle represented the return of the supernatural Pentecostal gifts. Then the amazing eyesight of the eagle represented the incredible insight into the Bible mysteries that brother Branham was blessed with.

The church seed must die and be restored again

The harvest will only occur when the final seed that the church plant produces is the same as the original seed that the apostles planted.

JOHN 12:23   And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

Jesus’ physical body had to die and be resurrected back to life.

JOHN 12:24   Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

The first church age can be called the age of the fathers. They had the truth from the apostles.

Jesus’ spiritual body, the church, during the second church age accepted having a man as the head of the church. Then the church had to die at the Council of Nicaea when the word “Trinity” was added to the Bible by a human head. The church was then buried in the dirt of the Dark Ages under their human heads.

Things went wrong during church ages 2, 3, and 4. These three church ages are easily forgotten.

EVIL means moving away from the beliefs of the first church age.

Thanks to the Reformers, Luther and Wesley, the church germinated back to life by getting saved by grace through faith and living holy and doing outreach in the great missionary age. The King James Bible was translated as the Absolute truth.

Church ages 5 and 6 are important. They made a strong attempt to restore truth to a corrupt church.

LIVE is just EVIL turned around. Moving towards the beliefs of the first church age.

Church ages 5 and 6 are referred to as the young men. They had hard, dangerous, and difficult obstacles to overcome.

God attached much value to the first church age. Then God attached value to these last three church ages as He sought to restore the church to the original truth of the first church age.

In the end, which is church age 7, the Pentecostals restored the gifts of the Spirit and brother Branham restored an understanding of the mysteries of God. Those who can grasp these deeper truths are called the children.

When they finally understand the mysteries of Scripture, the true Bride will wake up to the fact that they must return to the beliefs of the first church age that was set up by the apostles. This is the great mystery of God.

The harvest is pulled off the plant when the final seed is the same as the seed that was planted.

The Bride is pulled off the earth at the rapture when they become exactly the same as the first church age of the apostles.

The children at the end-time must be restored back to the beliefs of the apostolic fathers of the first church age.

I JOHN 2:19   They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Early error came from church leaders who said different things to the apostles. Nowhere did the New Testament promise us eight messengers or eight stars. The number was always seven. One for each church age.

We must be careful.

GALATIANS 1:8   But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

An angel is a messenger. Seven angels are allowed. An eighth angel or messenger will be accused.

GALATIANS 1:9   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.

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

Elijah restored all things. So, there is nothing left for another prophet to restore.

Any man claiming to be a prophet who has to complete the restoration of truth, goes against this last Scripture. Then he too is accursed.

Plus any man claiming to be a prophet will not be able to answer the previous questions that were asked. Plus many more questions that preachers are not able to answer from the Bible.

I JOHN 2:28   And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

The fathers were the Christians at the time of the apostles.

The children are the end-time Christians at the Coming of the Lord or the appearing of the Lord.

We will only have confidence in the King James Bible when the Lord comes. All other beliefs will be burned to shreds and hurled into great tribulation.

I JOHN 2:13   I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

The fathers, the apostles, knew Jesus. The young men are the reformers like Luther and Wesley who saw the Bible's truth germinate out of the depths of the Dark Ages to produce the brave and strong missionary age. We are the little children at the end when we realize that God the Father is the invisible supernatural Spirit that fully dwells inside the Man Jesus. The human name of God the Father is Jesus because the fullness of the supernatural Spirit dwells bodily in Jesus.

COLOSSIANS 2:9   For in him [Jesus Christ] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

I JOHN 2:14   I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

The fathers actually heard Jesus preach when He was on earth. The young men were the reformers who produced the King James Bible as the Absolute truth. They spread this Bible around the earth which broke the tyrannical influence of the Dark Ages Roman Catholic church as Protestantism spread.

I JOHN 2:18   Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

We are the little children in the end-time. That spirit of antichrist rides the white horse of religious deception, the red horse of political power, and the black horse of big-money demonology through the church world. The antichrist spirits thus spread as they take the churches further away from being strictly Scriptural. The further the churches get away from Scripture, with women preachers, political involvement, and love of money, the more those three horses are able to merge into one pale, sickly, corpse-coloured horse. Then Death will ride roughshod over the churches.

Today, churches are agreeing to gay rights and same-sex marriage just like it was in Sodom during the days of Lot.

Now the world has degenerated into gender change.

LUKE 17:28   Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;

LUKE 17:30   Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Brother Branham revealed Jesus as the Son of man walking through the pages of the Bible. Satan reacted by launching gay rights and Gay Pride throughout the world.

Brother Branham’s ministry has had to fit in with various Scriptures as well as various world events.

No other man today can claim that amount of Scriptural backing for his ministry.

Thus, no other man can claim to be an end-time prophet to the Gentiles.
