Revelation 19 Part 2  Beast and False Prophet

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

Hitler was the figurehead or false prophet of the awful Nazi regime. He promised them power but took them to their deaths.

Hitler was a preview of the final Pope who will gain military power over the Earth.

The seed that is harvested is always identical to the seed that was first planted.

ECCLESIASTES 11:2  “Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.”

The seven church ages end when the Bride performs an Exodus out of the apostate 7^th church age (Revelation 3:14 - 22) and is restored back to the first church age beliefs. This final restoration back to the first church age then becomes the eighth age, the new system, that blends into Eternity after the resurrection when the Bride is caught up to Heaven. Then the Gospel returns to Israel to pick up the 144000 Israelites during the indescribably evil 3.5 years of great tribulation.

When Jesus returns, mercy will be over and He will rule with a rod of iron. You will have to be strictly Scriptural or else.

Churches are designed to protect themselves first. They ignore the error, ambition, evil, greed, and fraud within their leadership. Churchgoers have no desire to learn anything new as they just dodge and avoid difficult questions. Church members become consumers who want to be entertained and lulled into a state of self-satisfied complacency. Their sermons are just feel-good, self-help motivational pep talks. They foolishly condemn Bible teachers who insist on being Scriptural.

The 7 Thunders are a total mystery. We can know their function, what they do. But we cannot know what they are nor what they say. The 7 Thunders only utter after the resurrection of the New Testament saints. The 7 Thunders will  change the bodies of the living Bride so that the Bride can be caught up to Heaven with so-called "rapturing" faith. We cannot have "rapturing" faith in our sinful bodies because our sinful bodies cannot be caught up to Heaven. Our present bodies have to change to sinless bodies. The 7 Thunders will also give the prophets Moses and Elijah their supernatural power over nature so that they can call out the 144000 during the future 3.5 years of great tribulation.

We are unprofitable servants and must beware. Even when we try hard, we still get more wrong than what we get right. If we miss the Coming of the Lord, our  blood will burst forth from God's winepress. Staying strictly with God's Word is essential. The name Jesus means Saviour. We will have to be able to discern Christ's new name AFTER the resurrection because Jesus will no longer be the Saviour, as mercy will be over. Jesus will be off the Mercy Seat to collect His Bride who will have to take on His new name, that cannot be revealed before the resurrection.

The foolish virgins include saved Message-people who make unscriptural heros by exalting brother Branham as the infallible Voice of God and their Pastor as the head of their church. As a result, they become increasingly Bible-illiterate. They have been fooled into unscriptural beliefs by their Pastor's opinions and his often wrong interpretations of brother Branham's sometimes conflicting quotes. Their future reward will be when they will be cast into great tribulation and slain and their corpses eaten up by scary vultures. Then, because they were saved before great Tribulation started,  they will be raised up on Judgement Day and spared and allowed into Heaven as second-class citizens. They will have the indignity of being judged by those individuals who used brother Branham's quotes to gain a deeper understanding of the Bible patterns and symbols. The New Testament never had a Pastor as the head of a church. They were known as Christians, not Message-believers.

The saints at Berea were noble because they checked what the apostle Paul preached with Scripture. The apostle John had twice made the huge mistake of bowing down to worship a prophet who had given him great revelations. The early church had no church buildings before the year AD 220, according to archaeologists. They met in homes or open air meetings. The Jewish Temple could not help them when they left Jerusalem to take the Gospel to the Gentiles. Anyway, the Temple was destroyed in AD 70.

The mighty angel of Revelation 10  will come down to perform the resurrection of the New Testament saints.

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”.

The mighty Angel does not come down to reveal the mysteries. He comes down for the resurrection.

Today, Pastors teach people what the church has become, rather than what it originally was.

We are unprofitable servants

1CORINTHIANS 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

After the resurrection, our bodies shall be changed. A "trump" is not a "trumpet" as both words are mentioned in the same verse.

President Trump is in the last term of his office, 2025 - 2028, which is a sign of the times. The resurrection trumpet is close.

Speaking about the end-time prophet to the Gentiles, who has to do two things:

CAB-09 — 9 - THE LAODICEAN CHURCH AGE

Now this messenger of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things.

One: According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers.  

Two: He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the seven seals.   

The prophet has to restore us (the end-time children) back to the beliefs of the first church age apostolic fathers.

The first church age never believed that the seven Thunders had uttered. The Thunders remained an unwritten mystery to them.

Thus, brother Branham's "Seven Seals" sermons never revealed what the 7 Thunders uttered. They never revealed what the 7 Thunders are.

They did reveal what the 7 Thunders do. What their function is.

63-0318 — THE FIRST SEAL 

But when these Seven Thunders, over in Revelation 10, uttered, He said, “Don’t write Them, at all.” They are mysteries.

We don’t know what they are yet. But, my opinion, they’ll be revealed right away. And when it do, it’ll give faith for that "rapturing" grace, for that Church to move out. See?     

The seven Thunders are deep mysteries that will change our bodies to give us "rapturing" faith because we cannot be caught up to Heaven in our present sinful bodies.

The 7 Thunders are revealed in the "Revelation of the 7 Seals" sermons.

But the FIRST Seal (in the above quote) revealed that the 7 Thunders are mysteries that we do not yet know.

 63-0324 — THE SEVENTH SEAL

One of the mystery of that [seventh] Seal, the reason It wasn’t revealed, It was Seven Thunders that uttered Their voices. And there It is, perfectly. Because, nothing knows anything about It. It wasn’t even written.   

The SEVENTH Seal also revealed the 7 Thunders as something that we do not know anything about.

Thus the Seven Seals did not reveal the content of the Thunders. What they utter, is a total mystery.

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

63-0324 — THE SEVENTH SEAL

So, just remember, the Seventh Seal, the reason It was not opened. See, the reason It did not reveal It, no one should know ABOUT It..  

The Seventh Seal was revealed as never being opened so that no one should know about it.

64-0719 — THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS 

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

63-0324 — THE SEVENTH SEAL

It was a relaxing time. It was so great, till, It was kept secret from the Angels. Now, why? If Satan should get a hold of It, he might do great damage. There is one thing he don’t know.   

An army never reveals its top secret next move in order to catch the enemy unawares.

But very stupid press reporters publish what they think the top-secret moves are going to be, as they desperately pretend to be clever. But their press reports are fake news that confuse the people.

For 60 years, Message-Pastors have published their different personal opinions of what they think the 7 Thunders are. That is the ultimate foolishness. They talk where God is silent. That way, they reject the Scriptures.

Brother Branham never said that the seven Thunders had uttered.

No wonder Jesus stands outside their Message-churches, trying to knock and get them to invite the Word back into their midst.

The 7^th Seal and the 7 Thunders hold very dangerous knowledge that Satan will use to cause great harm. That is why God cannot reveal them to us. Even the angels know nothing about the 7 Thunders.

Thus, the seven angels who met brother Branham could not tell him anything about what the 7 Thunders say, nor what they are.

How then can the 7 Thunders be revealed?

We cannot know what the 7 Thunders are. We cannot know what the 7 Thunders utter or say. Their vital contents.

We can only know something ABOUT what they will do, their function.

One.  They will give the Bride "rapturing" faith which enables them to be caught up to meet Jesus in the air.

Two.  The 7 Thunders will give the two Israelite prophets, Moses and Elijah, great supernatural power over the forces of nature.

63-0321 — THE FOURTH SEAL   

Wait till them Seven Thunders utter Their voices to that group who really can take the Word of God and hand It there, It’ll slice and cut. And they can close the heavens. They can shut this, or do that, whatever they want to. Glory! He’ll be slayed by the Word that proceeds from His mouth, is sharper than a two-edged sword. They could call for a hundred billion tons of flies if they wanted to.  

Moses called for flies back in Egypt.

64-0830 — QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS #4

Question: Have the Seven Thunders which equals seven mysteries already been revealed? Were they revealed in the Seven Seals, but are yet not known to us as the Thunders yet?

Answer: No, they were revealed in the Seven Seals; that’s what the Thunders was ABOUT. They was to reveal…The Seven Thunders that had uttered their voices and no one could make out what it was…John knew what it was, but he was forbidden to write it. He said, “But the seventh angel, in the days of his sounding, the seven mysteries of the Seven Thunders would be revealed.” And the seventh angel is a messenger of the Seventh Church Age. 

The sounding of the seventh angel only occurs when the Bride is able to learn from his quotes how to understand the written Scriptures. In a classroom, it is not a success if the teacher understands the work. The class has to be able to understand the work for themselves.

Brother Branham's ministry was not a success because he knew how to interpret Scripture.

His ministry only succeeds when you and I are able to learn from his sermons how to understand the written Bible mysteries by linking up the relevant Scriptures into a deeper pattern.

When is Jesus coming?

That is top secret, as revealed by the Seventh Seal. Nobody knows. Do not listen to Message-people if they claim they do know. Especially those who claim that He has already come.

The disciples never asked Jesus when He was coming. They just asked for a sign of His coming.

This sign was the deception that would spread to the church preachers who have embraced unscriptural doctrines.

They are not interested in truth, their main desire is to be regarded as clever. Then they desire power and money. The power to take your money.

MATTHEW 24:3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

24:4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

24:5  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 

"Deceive" is mentioned twice in two sentences. That is emphasis. The sign of the Lord's Coming is when deception has flooded the church pulpits.

Christ means anointed. Church preachers claim to be anointed, but they preach unscriptural things.

They say, "I am on fire". "I am full of the Holy Ghost". Thus claiming to be anointed.

But then they make statements that are not true, that are not written in Scripture.

"The Pastor is the head of the church". "Your Pastor will see you through". "The tithes belongs to the Pastor".

That means their open mouths are simply part of the gates of hell.

A Pastor has this lust for power to control what the people in his congregation do and believe.

Nicolaitan means conquer the laity, the congregation.

The leader forces the congregation to follow his ideas and beliefs.

Even John the Baptist, that great prophet who announced the First Coming of Christ, made an awful mistake by thinking that Jesus was not the Messiah. Jesus corrected what John the Baptist said. But Jesus did not repeat John's mistake.

The two disciples who believed John the Baptist's big mistake walked away from Jesus, the Word, so that they could continue to follow the great prophet John, and are never mentioned again in the Bible.

Never believe the mistakes of a prophet.

Andrew was the only disciple of John the Baptist who became one of the original 12 disciples of Jesus.

Only trust what is written in the Bible, not some clever or convenient idea that is not written in Scripture.

REVELATION 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.  

The first church age of Ephesus hated having one-man-human control over the church. God also hated this idea.

By AD 325, in the third church age of Pergamos, the churches wanted human control and domination. But God still hated that.

REVELATION 2:15  So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 

The true church is not blind loyalty to follow a man who can be seen and admired. Clarity and humility are essential as the conclusions we must arrive at are seldom simple.

Forgiveness, patience, and love help to deal with conflict. Not being dictated to from above. Disagree over doctrine but do not condemn the people that you disagree with.

You can only see light that enters your eye

You cannot see light that is moving past you. 

"Seeing the light" means you, personally, get a revelation from God that enables you to understand His Word.

The old King James Bible is the spiritual Sun, the source of pure spiritual Light.

You cannot see pure light unless you can look directly at the source of light, such as the Sun.

But that hurts your eyes and can blind you. Thus, even in the natural, it is hard to see pure light. It is even harder to see a pattern of truth running through the Scriptures.

Only Christ, the Word, is the true Light.

Thus you must take what someone says and prove it directly from Scripture in order to have the pure truth.

Light becomes visible only when it interacts with matter. The light bounces off the object, and then it can enter your eye and be seen. But then you can only see the last object that the light reflected off.

The surface of the object changes the light into an image of itself that gets reflected.

Humans corrupt the truth of the written Bible by changing the Scriptures to suit their own opinion, as they make a God in their own image.

That is why I must die to self so that I do not reflect myself. My opinions. My culture. My traditions. My achievements. That is corrupted light.

If I quote Scripture only, that is when I enable people to see the pure Light.

You must be able to prove what brother Branham said from Scripture. Only then do you spread pure Light.

You can see light if you look directly at the Sun (but it is too bright and will blind you). You can only see the Sun directly for a brief while when it sinks below the horizon in the Evening or when it rises above the horizon in the Morning. Otherwise, you can only see light that reflects, or bounces off an object and enters your eye. But then that light only reveals the object that it bounced off.

Space itself is dark because you cannot see light as it travels, if that light is not aimed at your eye.

Light a match in a dark room. You can see the source of light, the flame. After that, you can only see the objects that the light bounces off.

Some smoke, the matchstick, and the surface of a table. These objects are now considered to be important. But it is the light that is important.

Thus, the surrounding objects that reflect the light, change the light so that the light now reveals the objects instead of the flame.

Churches tell you about their leaders, their doctrines, and their importance. But they are ignorant about much of Scripture as they reveal only a little actual true Light.

The light of the match is changed into the image of what the light bounces off.

You must just reflect Scripture. Only the Bible is pure Light. Everything else is contaminated by human opinions and church traditions. When you give your own opinion or what you think brother Branham meant, you change the light into a reflection of yourself and your own ideas.

Do not brag about yourself. That is fatal. You cannot save anyone. You are not the Light.

Speaking of the great prophet John the Baptist:

JOHN 1:8  He [John] was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light [Jesus]. 

The only worthwhile Light is to speak from Scripture.

JOHN 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:

The purpose of the Holy Ghost is to enable us to understand the Scriptures.

The Holy Ghost does not want us to speak about how good or how clever or how talented we are. We are not supposed to praise self or preach our church opinions.

LUKE 17:10  So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

Unprofitable servants make more mistakes than they get right. 

When we are at our best, we still cause God problems as we tend to reflect ourselves rather than the truth of Scripture.

Church culture has replaced Christ. The church should be broken people transformed by grace.

Cotton candy Churchianity has developed that is sweet but has no Bible depth. As a result, church-goers struggle to cope with defeat and difficulty. They become very opposed to those who want to be Scriptural.

1JOHN 2:11  But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

We must look directly at the various Bible verses that form a clear pattern. That is the only way to understand the Bible mysteries.

Preachers must not brag about themselves and their achievements. They must just tell us what is in Scripture.

Message-people manipulate a quote from brother Branham to mean something that is not written in Scripture. Thus they look away from the Scripture and are in darkness of unbelief. You cannot see light if you do not look directly at the source, the Scriptures.

For example, Message-believers say, "The supernatural cloud of 1963 formed the Judge in the sky."

No such statement appears in Scripture, thus it is darkness and not light.

Notice, the cloud has no face, thus it does not form the head of a Judge.

If you rely on what others say, when they are not quoting Scripture, then you are in darkness.

If the light does not enter your eye (from Scripture), then you cannot see it and the light remains dark to you.

Space around the Sun is empty. There is no matter in space until we see a Moon or a Planet. Thus, space looks dark, even though it is full of light from the Sun.

Consider this photo  taken by the Cassini rocket from the vicinity of Mars. Space looks dark because there is no matter for the light of the Sun to bounce off and enter your eye, so the unseen light remains dark.

Sunlight bounces off a bit of the Moon at the top and a bigger piece of the Earth lower down. That interaction changes the Sunlight to look like the Moon and look like the Earth.

A church is supposed to point us to the Source, the Word of God. But churches point us to themselves and their unscriptural doctrines. Christmas. 25 December. Good Friday. Easter Sunday. Easter Monday. Easter egg. Christmas tree. Easter bunny.

Women preachers. Sunday Sabbath. The Pastor is the head of the church. Trinity. One God in three Persons. Eternal Sonship. Jesus is in the Godhead. God the Son. God the Holy Ghost. First Person of the Godhead. Second Person of the Godhead. Third Person of the Godhead. Gentile church buildings. A Pastoral Priesthood. William Branham is infallible. None of these statements is written in the Bible.

If we are not Scriptural our blood will burst forth

The sharp sword of His Word goes out of the mouth of Jesus to slay all those who disagree with Scripture.

His armour has a spiritual meaning. It is not literal armour. It is the armour that protects us against sin and the devils.

EPHESIANS 6:13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

:14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

:15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

:16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

The survivors of Armageddon, the heathen nations that never heard the Gospel, will be ruled very strictly for 1000 years in a Kingdom of Peace, with a rod of iron. Jesus and His Bride will rule on earth.

The final battle is Armageddon. Christ destroying the unbelievers in huge numbers. His Word is supreme. They disagreed with the 1769 King James Bible or ignored what the Bible said. Or they corrupted the written Scriptures, or they foolishly tried to interpret the unwritten Scriptures. The penalty for that is to be killed. They disregarded the Word of God when Jesus sat on the Mercy Seat. After the Bride is caught up to Heaven, they perish without mercy. Jesus died in agony on the cross. Now His fierce anger is directed towards those who ignored His suffering and trauma on humanities' behalf. Those who foolishly made up their own beliefs by misinterpreting, or ignoring, or changing Scriptures. Those who thought they were clever enough or good enough to save themselves.

The battle of Armageddon will be mass slaughter. Blood will flow freely like grape juice squirting out of crushed grapes that are trampled underfoot.

REVELATION 14:20  And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Eight furlongs in a mile. For a distance of 200 miles, the blood will flow to a depth of about one-and-a-half metres. They rejected the blood of Jesus on the cross. Now they pay with their own blood that cannot save them.

REVELATION 19:16  And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

King of kings. Jesus has taken over all authority from every former ruler. The former kings and lords are totally inadequate compared to Jesus. He alone is fit to rule.

For those who think they know His new name, this proves they are wrong because “King of kings, and Lord of lords” is obviously not a name.

The name Jesus means Saviour.

His new name will be something very powerful as it will immediately establish Him as supreme, both as Lord and as King.

But the Bride has the same name as her Husband. In our sinful bodies we are not fit to carry such a powerful name. We will only learn this name after the resurrection and the changing of our bodies into sinless bodies. While we are in our sinful bodies we can only be saved and cleansed from sin by the name of Jesus Christ.

In our changed sinless bodies we will not need a Saviour. Only then can we move away from the name of Jesus, and take on His new name that reflects His holy Power and Perfection.

Those who have cleverly invented some new name for Jesus will not be part of His Bride. Only Jesus knows His new name, and only those who receive this name after the resurrection, will be part of His Bride. All the home-made “new names” will stay behind. Saved but fooled. They are not as clever as they think they are. They have to be straightened out by the two Israelite prophets, Moses and Elijah, and then be killed by Death and Hell. Not a great future.

1965   CAB-08 — 8 - THE PHILADELPHIAN CHURCH AGE

“And I will write my NEW Name upon him.” My New Name. When ALL becomes new, then He will take upon Him a new Name and that Name will be the Name of the bride also. What that Name is, none dare conjecture. It would have to be a revelation of the Spirit given so conclusively that none would dare deny it. But no doubt He will leave that revelation to the day when He desires to give that Name forth. Suffice it to know that it will be more wonderful than we could ever imagine.”

If you think you know the new name, then you have been totally fooled.

An angel in the sun invites scavenger birds to feed

The 3.5 years of great tribulation is a time of great darkness. It is called the day of the Lord when God punishes sin. Today is the day of man. Man does as he wishes. But the day of the Lord is coming when God will deal with sin as He wishes.

JOHN 9:4  I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

AMOS 5:18  Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

At this dark time, a flash of sunlight reveals an angel speaking.

But it is a terrible announcement. Vultures and scavengers are invited to fly in and gorge themselves on the carcases of the wicked. What a contemptuous way for God to dispose of them. They treated God with contempt, but now they reap the whirlwind of God’s contemptuous fury.

The angel is not sent to help people. He is sent to gather the vultures and birds of prey to devour their corpses after they are slain. He is a judgement angel. When God judges sin, His fury is frightening.

REVELATION 19:18  That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

“Flesh” is repeated five times. These people lived for the benefits of the flesh. A fatal mistake.

In the flesh, people try hard to be greater than other people.

The flesh says, “I am better than you”, “I am holier than thou”.

But, ultimately, nobody is greater than another person.

Mercy is over when Jesus leaves the throne of mercy. The latter rain or harvest rain raises the dead saints from the 7 church ages. The living Bride is changed. Then the full Bride is caught up to Heaven. The saved foolish virgins are left behind with the unsaved sinners. They missed God's former rain or Bible-teaching rain that revealed the mysteries of God. They were unable to be restored back to the first church age of the apostles by their own efforts. They are killed in horrifying circumstances and end up empty-handed in their tiny graves. Even if they are saved.

After their frantic boasts and foolish words, they reap the indignity of first having their corpses ripped apart by birds of prey.

There are no great men. We hero-worship men in vain. Glorifying men is a waste of time as it just takes our attention away from Jesus.

All men are fallible

You go out of this building, rejoicing, because you’re right now in the Presence of the Lord Jesus. Not because you’re in this tabernacle, but because that He has come and visit us. Not because I’m the preacher, or my Brother Neville, or any of these other Christians, not our presence, but it’s His Presence. It’s infallible. It’s the Bible. It’s the Truth. Blessed be His Name!

63-0804 — CALLING JESUS ON THE SCENE

“But the Lord sent me to pray for His sick children. And in there, what I do know about Him, I love to express it with all my heart. If I make mistakes, you pray for me. I’m not infallible. I’m your brother.”

Message-churches that claim to follow William Branham have become an infallible personality cult wrapped up in the language of faith. It is very deceptive because brother Branham, despite making mistakes, had an amazing ministry with his incredible insight into the mysteries of the Bible. We have to learn to filter out the noise from his mistakes and thus discover the incredible Bible truths and patterns that he revealed. A personality cult ends up obeying a man, rather than obeying the written Word.

62-1007 — THE KEY TO THE DOOR

“That, they claim in here that some brethren up there that said that I sent them up there, and they’re preaching that men should leave their wives and hunt for their spiritual mate, and that I am perfectly infallible. That there’s nothing…

And, oh, some of the awfulest things you ever heard.”

Calling brother Branham infallible is just awful. He is human. He made mistakes.

Filter out and ignore the noise of his wrong quotes. But focus on the intense depth of his true revelations.

61-0112 — QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

And these answers are not infallible, see, because the Scriptures is infallible, and as far as I know they’re lined with the Scriptures. I hope that makes it plain. And the tape is to be kept now and anyone that would want it, well, they could have it. But now, I know the Scriptures are infallible but my answers are not infallible. So I’m sure everyone understands that.

Brother Branham did his best. At times, he had incredible inspiration, deeper than anyone else. He has taught me more Scripture than anyone else. But, at times, he also made mistakes. We need to carefully check what he said.

ACTS 17:10  And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

:11  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Those who listened to Paul, the greatest of the apostles, and searched the Scriptures daily to check what he said, were called  “more noble”. We must follow their example if we want to return to the faith that was once delivered to the saints.

59-1108 — POSSESSING THE ENEMY'S GATES

Men are not infallible, but God is. Man, you get your mind on a man, he’ll make a mistake. Maybe not willfully, but he’ll do it. God permits him to do it so that He can shake your faith away from man. Our faith is not in the wisdom of man, but in the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. That’s where the true Seed of Abraham rests their promise. Because, they can only be the Seed of Abraham when they receive the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit they’re not the Seed of Abraham. That same faith that was in Abraham comes into the believer.

65-0822 — CHRIST IS REVEALED IN HIS OWN WORD

“And again we read, in Revelation 22:18 and 19, “If any man will add one word to This, or take one Word from It, God will take his part out of the Book of Life.” Right. God will take his part, though he be a minister, whatever he may be, and his word…his name is wrote on the Book of Life. God said, “I’ll just rub it right off,” that’s right, “if he adds one thing to It, or takes one Word from It.” That’s how infallible God has made His Word. See? You can add to the church, or take from the church. Don’t you add to that Word, or take from It, ’cause God will take your name right off the Book of Life. And, that’s, you’re finished then. See? You can’t add to It, or take from It. It’s just exactly what…”

All gather together against Christ

Leadership in a church will huddle together to form an elite who develop vast egos that are intensely jealous of competent outsiders. Centralized control is the key to denominational power that is based on human domination.

This is an uncomfortable revelation of how to navigate the true nature of institutional church power that forces one to belong to the “right club”, or be erased. The glorification of the chosen elite and their ruthless and relentless destruction of those who dare to disagree. They declare spiritual war and indulge in character assassination against anyone who insists on being Scriptural. A silent and vicious war is fought for fame, money, and the power to control their unscriptural narrative.

The one point that the churches unite on is their willingness to believe unscriptural doctrines.

They establish a denominational system that depends on a single human leader. They cannot prove most of their beliefs just by using written Scriptures. Being Scriptural actually invokes their hostility and rejection. But the Lord has His army that insists on being Scriptural, even though they have been erased from church membership. These individuals join Jesus, as He also stands outside the church door. Jesus is not knocking on the door of a sinner's heart. He is knocking on the church door.

REVELATION 3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;

REVELATION 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: 

Jesus is the Head of the church. But, Jesus has to leave as soon as a Pastor, Priest, or Bishop calls himself the head of the church. No body can have two heads.

A modern miracle is the gathering together of different church groups who can have different beliefs.

But they use the same technique of having a one-man-head-of-a-local-church as a command-and-control centre. This system makes war against Jesus as they preach unscriptural ideas in their man-made church systems. Their only real objection is when somebody insists on being Scriptural, such as getting baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (ACTS 2:38).

Many different water baptisms are accepted, except for their total rejection of water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ.

ACTS 2:38  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

ACTS 2:39  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

The big mistake of Message Pastors, who claim to follow William Branham, was and is their obsession for sensation. This is artificially inflamed to manipulate the people into total dependence on the Pastor and his bright ideas gained by manipulating certain quotes, as they move away from Scripture. They have built up a cult of personality around the Prophet and their Pastor. Brother Branham has been falsely exalted to become the infallible “Voice of God”. There is no such New Testament Scripture. In their minds, they promote William Branham to the Godhead.

Their drastically wrong claims are that Jesus has come and that the Angel of Revelation 10 has come down.

Another wrong idea is that the 7 Seals have opened (the 7 Seals can only be opened after they have been revealed) means that they know nothing about the difference between the Seals Opening and the Seals being Revealed.

God first reveals something. Then after it is revealed, God does it.

If brother Branham opened the 7 Seals, then who came before him that revealed the 7 Seals?

AMOS 3:7  Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 

Between March 17 – 25, 1963, the Seals were revealed by angelic visions of their future Opening in Heaven, (Revelation Chapters 5 and 6) after the resurrection of the New Testament saints. We thus have a broad outline of these revealed events.

When we are finally in Heaven, after having our bodies changed into immortal, sinless bodies then we will be far, far cleverer than what we are now. Then, when Jesus opens the Seals we will have an incredibly intense understanding of all the deep details and motives of the church that led them away from Scripture.

The Seals can only be opened in Revelation 6 once the Bride is in Heaven, as recorded in Revelation 5.

Message churches who follow William Branham, falsely claim that the 7 Thunders have uttered. (Brother Branham never said that).

Their devastatingly wrong claim that brother Branham is infallible, just turns him into an alternative Pope. They endlessly insist that the Pastor is the head of a local church and he will see you through. (A denominational Nicolaitan error that is not in the New Testament). They wrongly claim that Time has run out and mercy is over for everyone except their followers. People are thus forced to believe these ideas immediately and must not stop to think for themselves.

They are swayed by a charismatic personality, not by what is written in the 1769 King James Bible.

What is a powerful tool of error is that these Pastors with their unscriptural ideas are very successful, pleasant, and likeable.   Unable to understand the Bible themselves, Message Pastors now wrongly claim that only brother Branham can interpret the Bible, so people must just listen to his sermons. They no longer read the Bible and become increasingly Bible-illiterate.

The emphasis is always on the Prophet or the Pastor.

Message-people are fooled by catchy and impressive ideas, that try to drag future events into the past. But whipped-up emotions, like whipped cream, subside with time. 60 years have rolled on since brother Branham died. Message Pastors preached that Jesus would come in 1977. He did not. They predicted that Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump in 2016. She did not. Iraq occupied Kuwait in 1990. When the Americans intended to invade and free Kuwait in 1991, seven prominent Message-Pastors wrote their predictions in a pamphlet. They all agreed that this would be the downfall of America that was predicted by brother Branham. But in 100 hours of brilliant war tactics, the United States evicted and totally conquered the Iraqi army. This dismal “prophetic” guessing by Message Pastors is very uninspired and reveals their incompetence in Scriptural matters. That is why the Pastors focus on quotes. They do not really understand what is going on in the Scriptures. Especially when they falsely claim that brother Branham is Jesus Christ. They hate being reminded of their past wrong guesses.

64-0830 — QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS #3

“To make me the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, would be an antichrist.”

These unscriptural ideas sadly mean that the Message churches and their Pastors, though saved, will be gathered together to be cast into great Tribulation. Because the one trend that they have in common with all other churches is that they cannot prove all their beliefs just from Scripture.

Brother Branham made a big mistake with the 1963 cloud

Brother Branham unintentionally mistook the timing and location of a supernatural 42-kilometer high cloud. His followers cling to this mistake, moving it from 28 February 1963 near Flagstaff in Arizona, to 8 March 1963 at Sunset Peak that is 200 miles South. No cloud was seen on 8 March 1963 above Sunset Peak.

To be wrong in both space and time is about as big a mistake as a person can make. Remember, John the Baptist also made a huge mistake when he doubted if Jesus was the Messiah.

Many quote-inspired wrong doctrines have crawled out of these mistakes.

A massive mistake, that Message-people cannot explain is that two high-altitude clouds were seen, not just one. There can be no single cause for both incredibly high clouds. The second cloud, formed by smoke from an exploded rocket, is just conveniently ignored. Or the main cloud is claimed to be a smoke cloud from the explosion, not a supernatural cloud. But one rocket explosion will not produce two smoke clouds.

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. A smoke cloud was prophesied. This was the smaller cloud that was 20 miles behind the big supernatural cloud made from angels' wings. This photograph was taken from Winslow, as the two clouds approached.

A natural cloud and a supernatural cloud formed the sign of the third Exodus, the Bride coming out of the 7^th age churches and returning to the apostolic beliefs of the first church age.

Moses started the first Exodus, the Israelites out of Egypt, when he saw a natural bush burn with a supernatural fire that never consumed the bush.

The sign of the second Exodus, when the church came out of the Israelites, was a natural Baby lying in a manger, born supernaturally from a virgin.

A third Exodus will take the Bride out of the church when the Bride begins to understand the revealed Word of God. The sign was a high-altitude natural smoke cloud and a high-altitude supernatural cloud. Symbolizing the ability of end-time eagles to break the church bonds and fly high and see far. We have had more than 60 years so far to study brother Branham's amazing Bible patterns and revelations so that we can understand the Bible for ourselves. Have we wasted this time?

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

Two clouds do not suit any Message-group, so the photograph of two clouds is just ignored and never referred to.

Hiding some evidence is totally illegal. Message preachers are without excuse. They have tampered with the facts.

The supernatural cloud was not an event. It was the sign of a future event. Jesus as the Son of man would be revealed walking through the pages of the Word as brother Branham revealed the 6 Seals of Revelation Chapter 6, so that we could start to understand the 1769 King James Bible.

"Blood and fire" is also needed in 1963 to fulfill the prophecy.

"Blood". The world was shocked when President Kennedy, the world's most powerful man, was tragically shot in 1963. His blood stained his wife's dress.

"Fire".  President Eisenhower started the Vietnam war in 1955 when he mistakenly sent some military advisers to South Vietnam.

He eventually sent a total of about 700 advisers.

Kennedy massively escalated American involvement to over 16,000 advisers and disguised combat troops by 1963.

An atheist woman got mandatory Bible reading and prayer banned in American schools in 1963. Kennedy's violent death and losing the Vietnam War showed how wrong that decision was.

1964 saw large scale American military involvement under President Johnson.

1965 exploded the war that lasted 19 years and would kill 58,220 Americans. Certainly, a time of "blood and fire".

1964 Harlem riot had numerous small fires.

1965 was when race riots in America began burning city buildings. More than 200 people died by 1969.

The Lord or the Angel did not come down

MATTHEW 24:26  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 

Jesus does not come in a desert.

Being brightly illuminated by the Sun, after dark, means the two clouds were exceptionally high. Only one cloud, the smaller cloud, can be explained as the smoke cloud of a high-altitude rocket explosion. This happened 42 kilometres above Vandenberg Airforce Base.

Another rocket had exploded 11 hours earlier. But the high-altitude jet stream moves across ths sky at around 100 miles per hour or more. It would not only be 20 miles away from the second explosion. The main horizontal cloud was massive, about 150 kilometres (94 miles) in circumference. No aeroplane or rocket can fly horizontally in the thin air at a height of about 42 kilometers over a distance of 150 kilometers. This was a supernatural cloud, made from angels' wings, that shakes the laws of atmospheric physics, described as the powers of the heavens.

MATTHEW 24:29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

"The tribulation of those days". The amateur tribulation of  Adolf Eichmann. The murder of 6 million Jews by the German Nazis during World War 2 that ended in 1945. This was a preview of what is coming for the world and the churches during the future great Tribulation.

"The sun shall be darkened". In 1948 the World Council of Churches formed and condemned the real Light, the King James Bible. Over 100 different versions of the English Bible now flood the more than 2000 different types of churches and denominational churches. The darkness of unbelief.

"The moon shall not give her light". The Sun represents the 1769 King James Bible. The moon represents the church that has no light of her own but only reflects sunlight. But after World War 2, the churches stopped reflecting the King James Bible of 1769.

"The stars shall fall from heaven". Church preachers have elevated themselves up to form an unscriptural Pastoral Priesthood between God and the people. But they rejected the teaching rain of William Branham between 1947 and 1965. Thus they fall from Heaven as they cannot explain the deeper mysteries of Scripture. Message preachers who claim to follow brother Branham elevated themselves as a Pastoral Priesthood with brother Branham as the infallible Voice of God. They used his quotes to replace Scripture and used carefully selected quotes to justify their own agendas and unscriptural beliefs. As long as they end up with power over the people. Especially the power to take peoples' money.

"The powers of the heavens shall be shaken" by the 28 minute appearance of a physically unexplainable very high altitude cloud made of angels' wings, just after sunset.

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

This supernatural cloud was not an event.

It was the SIGN of an impending event. The fact that God would reveal 6 Seals so that the Bride could start to become Scriptural as they finally learned how to understand the mysteries of Scripture.

Below is the actual photograph of the cloud on 28 February 1963, just North of the City of Flagstaff in Arizona. There is no face in the actual photograph taken by Dr James McDonald from the Tucson Observatory.

The cloud is now “moved” 200 miles South to Sunset Peak or Sunset Mountain, by brother Branham's mistaken quotes. (Really?)

The date is changed to 8 March 1963 to agree with the 7 angels that met brother Branham at Sunset Peak. There was no cloud in the sky on 8 March, 1963. The angels came and left invisibly.

Brother Branham got his facts mixed up because he never actually saw this massive cloud.

An important lesson. We must check what the prophet says.

The following picture wrongly claimed that the Flagstaff cloud was photographed over Sunset Peak. (Sunset Mountain made it sound more impressive). Brother Branham was shown this modified picture and unfortunately thought it was over Sunset Peak.

A flawed photostat or facsimile of the cloud photograph created two dark eyes when light leaked in.

Sadly, truth was distorted and they now preach of a Judge in the sky because they do not go back to the original cloud photograph that had no face in it.

Scripture never promised a Judge in the sky.

The “Judge” was not in the sky. The “Judge” was created down on earth in a faulty duplication machine that let in some light.

This is the modified photostat or facsimile when light leaked in at the top left. The picture is rotated through 90 degrees to get rid of the land that is inconveniently now vertical on the left (shown in red). This is tampering with the evidence. Totally illegal.

Quotes on the 1963 cloud contradict each other

"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."

Brother Branham is unsure of the date, 28 February, when the cloud photograph was taken

He could not have been there a day or two before the cloud, unless he was illegal as the Jalapino pig-hunting season only opened on 1 March.

He preached "A Absolute" on 4 March in Houston, Texas, which is 1000 miles away from Sunset Peak. Thus he was not at Sunset Peak a day or two after 28 February as that would be 1 March or 2 March.

His hunting trip, according to his daughter Becky, was from 6 March to 8 March, 1963. He met the 7 angels on 8 March and went home.

63-0324  THE  SEVENTH  SEAL  (preached on 24 March)

(16 days after 8 March was 24 March. 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 picked off the burrs on 8 March. Met the 7 angels in the morning, and then went home. He did not preach the 7^th Seal a little over 1 week later.

24 March was more than two weeks later.

So brother Branham was unsure about the dates, because he never saw the cloud.

His big mistake was that he thought he stood under the cloud.

63-0628   O  LORD  JUST  ONCE  MORE

Now science took the picture of It, you seen It, went on Associated Press. They didn't know what It was. There is a Cloud hanging, twenty-six miles high

This is correct. The cloud hung for 28 minutes according to Dr James McDonald, the astronomer who took the photograph after sunset. But brother Branham was hunting in the morning when there was no cloud above him. A noctilucent cloud is only visible after dark, due to its great height.

63-0802 — PERSEVERANT

It was about eight o’clock at morning. And I had folded my legs. And was, off my overalls, was picking some of them goatheads. And I said, “You know, look at here, isn’t that strange!”

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.

No.  The cloud was only seen up there for 28 minutes.

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

He says the cloud was hanging in the air, not moving up or down, as it was swept along horizontally by the jetstream.

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.

Now he says the cloud was descending.

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.

Now he says the cloud was moving up.

64-0112  SHALOM

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.

Here he says the cloud was a sign. It was not an event.

The cloud was a sign of a future event. The future event was that the Six Seals in Revelation Chapter 6 were going to be revealed by brother Branham. That would teach us how to understand the Bible so that we can move out of the Pastor-dominated churches of the 7^th church age and be restored to the faith of the apostolic first church age.

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

"then shall appear the SIGN in the heaven, of the Son of man."

63-0630  THE  THIRD  EXODUS

There it is. They don't know what it's all about; the scientists are trying to. Anybody got a picture of It, called in, "A Cloud, twenty-six miles high, in the shape of a pyramid." Seven Angels represent in there, brought back and brought you the Word of God, under the inspiration. It tells you these hours that you're coming and living in. The spiritual mind will pick that right now, see, and get it. It's an exodus. We're going to leave, one of these days. Thanks be to God. Remember.

The 7 angels who met brother Branham at Sunset Peak were not seen by anyone. They just gave him a commission to reveal the 6 Seals of Revelation Chapter 6.

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

And I looked, and standing before me stood seven Angels; just exactly the way it was. I felt like I was standing way up off the ground. First, I thought somebody had shot me, you know, with that black hat on; looked like a javelina hog, anyhow, you know they’re dark. I thought somebody had shot me, right close. And I seen then what it was. Well, as soon as I got my commission, in the Scripture, “The Seven Seals which is the seven mysteries.” 

His commission was to reveal the Six Seals of Revelation Chapter 6.

He revealed the Seventh Seal to be a total mystery, the top secret Coming of the Lord that we know nothing about.

63-0623   STANDING  IN  THE  GAP

Roy’s dream.

And he said that he went up the mountain. And when he did, I was standing there. And a Voice came from the Cloud, (Wasn't it, Brother Roy?) and said something on this order, "This is My servant. And I've called him to be a prophet to the age, to lead the people just as Moses did. And he's been given the authority, he could speak into existence."

The 1963 cloud was not the coming of the Lord or the coming of the Angel of Revelation 10. These are just frantic boasts, and foolish words, designed to impress and deceive.

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."

This was one month before brother Branham died.

Thus, the Angel never came down in his lifetime.

64-0119 SHALOM

“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 will rise up from among the dead.

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

The mighty Angel of Revelation 10 does not come down to reveal the mysteries. He comes down for the resurrection.

Thus, the Angel has not come down so far, as the resurrection has not happened.

When the Angel comes down, time stops for the resurrected saints because they will be in Eternal bodies. The living Bride will have their bodies changed into Eternal bodies.

REVELATION 10:6 ... that there should be time no longer: 

The cloud was the SIGN that Jesus, as the Son of man, would be revealed as the Word of God that can be understood.

The mysteries of the 6 Seals of Revelation Chapter 6 would be revealed during 17^th – 25^th March 1963. The seventh Seal was revealed to be a total mystery because it concerns the coming of the Lord, the biggest mystery in the Universe.

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

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

In Tucson, them big observatories took the picture of it up there; still wondering what happened.

“What is it?” They still put in the paper, “Does anybody know anything about what, how it could have happen? There is no fog up there, there’s no air, there’s no moisture; thirty miles high in the air”. Oh, my!

“There shall be signs in the heaven above. And when these things take place, earthquakes in divers places, then shall appear the sign in the heaven, of the Son of man.”

The two very high clouds were a sign of an impending event for our Eagle-church age.

The 7 angels who later met William Branham at Sunset Peak, revealed no mysteries, they just gave him the commission to reveal the mysteries of the Seven Seals.

The impending event was a series of sermons from 17 March to 25 March 1963, that were preached at Jeffersonville in Kentucky. That is when the 7 angels revealed their mysteries to brother Branham.     The revelation of the Seals was the climax of the former rain, the teaching rain. It was a shower of spiritual truth that opened our eyes to the unfathomable depths of God’s inspired Word.

We can now understand the first 6 Seals.

The 7^th Seal was not revealed as we cannot know when the Lord is Coming,

These revelations are of great importance to explain to us how to understand the written Bible.

LUKE 12:54  And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

Flagstaff, a city in the West of America, in Arizona, where the large supernatural cloud was seen for 28 minutes just after sunset, which indicated its great height on 28 February 1963.

The supernatural cloud rose out of the West as a sign that 7 angels would later reveal the mysteries of the 7 Seals to William Branham, as a teaching shower of revealed Scripture, part of the former rain. This would enable us to unlock the deeper mysteries of Scripture.

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 Bible predicts a high-altitude smoke cloud.

On 28 February, shortly before 2 o’clock in the afternoon, 1963, a high-altitude rocket was exploded 42-kilometers above Vandenberg Airforce Base. At that height, the air is too thin to show a smoke cloud against the glare of the blue sky. But the thin smoke was carried by the jet stream for about 4 hours and arrived over the City of Flagstaff just after sunset. The thin smoke cloud immediately became visible for 28 minutes against the dark sky, as the sun set behind the horizon. That is when the angels used their wings to also form the supernatural cloud.

The two clouds were artificial noctilucent clouds, that only shine at night.

The dashed-line on the map of North America indicates the invisible high-altitude smoke cloud during the glare of the blue sky.

The next picture is not a photograph. It shows how high altitude clouds can be seen after sunset when the normal clouds have become dark.

The Beast and the False Prophet

Manipulating evidence and being unscriptural will get a tough punishment in great tribulation, even if the person is saved.

The desire of one man to dominate his church is a Babylonian spirit.

Beaten with many stripes will be no fun.

REVELATION 19:20  “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone”.

The beast is the spirit of denominational religion that started in ancient Babylon and then infiltrated the Roman Catholic church.

It is a pagan way of thinking that endlessly changes Bible truths so that pagans feel comfortable in the church.

The false prophet is the elevated spirit in the human figurehead of the beast spirit. He is the human mouth that speaks out the false doctrines. Thus, he is the prophet of a false religion. Whenever the human figurehead dies, the false prophet spirit leaves and looks for the next person to promote to absolute power.

Think of the awful Nazi spirit. They thought they were supermen who could rule others and murder off the inferior people like the mentally challenged, gypsies, and Jews. Their figurehead or false prophet was Adolph Hitler.

The beast is the spirit of denominational religion which fooled people into worshipping God according to human traditions and opinions.

The image of the beast is the ecumenical uniting of the Protestant or non-Catholic churches into a worldwide religious and political organization.

The Roman Catholic church rises to power on the Beast of denominational organization of religious power, political power, and financial power.

Image of the beast is the world church system. With the world church system under her, Rome will be controlling, and this image (world church system) will be obedient to Rome because Rome controls the gold of the world.

65-0801  THE GOD OF THIS EVIL AGE

“Notice his plans to build a super denominational church, the World Council of Churches, see, a super denominate, so that all the world will worship him, the beast, under the name of united Christianity.”

Denominations are the mystery of iniquity that change Scripture to fit in with human thinking.

Denominational religion, based on human opinions, and church organization is the Mark of the Beast on human minds.

Churchgoers seek compromise and comfort in their pursuit of wealth which is the main focus that they strive for.

Our minds are besieged by a programmed lie that is spread by mass  media.

Church-goers are lulled into a comfortable complacency that makes them feel, “I am okay”.

Sermons become self-help, feel-good, motivational speeches that offer practical life advice. That is what people want to hear.

Talented people perform in front while the congregation becomes passive observers.

Repetition calcifies error into conviction. Traditional ignorance is dreamy idleness.

The churches are sleep-walking in to great tribulation.

The false prophet is the spirit of human leadership in the church, which proclaims or prophesies that the leader will lead the people to get ready for the return of Jesus. The leader is thus the prophet of a false religion, which is basically a delusion that people want to believe. People have been brain washed to believe that their church is the right one and their church leader is God’s man for the hour. This spirit infects the leader of each church, and the most exalted leader or false prophet is thus the Pope.

CAB-09 — 9 - THE LAODICEAN CHURCH AGE

I JOHN 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” Did you notice it? The antichrist spirit is identified with false prophets. The ages came in with false prophets and they will go out with false prophets.

Now of course there is going to be a REAL FALSE PROPHET in the grand sense of that man mentioned in the Revelation.

But as of now, before his revelation there are to appear many false prophets.

MATTHEW 24:23-26, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not.”

The huge supernatural cloud appeared just north of Flagstaff, which was not in the desert. Sunset Peak was 200 miles South, and is in the greater Sonoran Desert. The angels appeared, 8 days after the cloud was seen, in a desert. The Lord does not come in a desert. Message-people claim that Jesus came in 1963 at Sunset Peak and then entered a secret dimension. But He is not in secret chambers. Jesus is not hidden any more, He is revealed in the mysteries of the Bible that we can now understand, because the first 6 Seals have been revealed.

The mighty Angel does not come down to reveal the mysteries. He comes down for the resurrection.

All these errors just turn Message-preachers into false prophets.

This is the sign of the end time. The final figurehead of the church system of false prophets (church leaders preaching unscriptural doctrines) will be the final Pope, the man of sin. He will be brutal beyond our imagination, killing billions of people. He will be possessed by the spirit of Death.

Each church leader who preaches error is a false prophet. His open mouth is a gate of hell.

The final Pope will be possessed by the spirit of THE false prophet. He will destroy the Vatican that gave him the leadership of the church world. He will make up and enforce, world-wide, his own brutal religion.

That is typical of Satan, he uses you and then destroys you.

The Word of God is an avenging sword

Ultimately, the only important issue was for humans to believe and agree with the written Word of God.

The Word of God, like an avenging sword,  will destroy those who oppose or corrupt the Word.

REVELATION 14:20  And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Eight furlongs to a mile. Blood flowed over one metre deep for 200 miles. They rejected the Lord’s blood that can save them and then paid with their own blood that cannot save them.

Man’s fatal mistake will be to challenge the Creator. His Word is a sword that He speaks from His mouth. His Word says that God will win the final battle.

So, that future battle has already been decided. Man’s stupidity is that people oppose what is written in Scripture, because that has to come to pass.

One of mankind’s biggest businesses has been arms and ammunition for killing. We have perfected weapons of death.

But they will be trampled underfoot as worthless when Jesus makes His final ride.

God is Life and when He rides on, Death is what remains behind. A feast for the birds of prey who will be His guests. They will gorge themselves on the corpses of the unsaved after the battle of Armageddon, like guests at a feast.

ZEPHANIAH 1:7  Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

The sacrifice of Armageddon. They rejected the blood of Jesus and ended up paying with their own blood which cannot save their souls. The unsaved become the food for the invited bird-guests.

The “day of the Lord” is the 3½ years of great tribulation.

Birds represent false preachers. In Matthew 13 the first parable had the seeds of life falling on hard hearts that could not understand the Word. And then false preacher birds gobbled up the seeds. This represents preachers leading people away from understanding the Word of God to seek salvation through works or obeying human leadership of the church. That is how error began in the first church age.

In the second church age, Bishops took control of the churches to satisfy their own ambitions, and introduced their own rules and opinions. That was the second parable where tares were planted amongst the wheat. The third parable saw a tiny mustard seed growing into a massive tree with branches for false preacher birds to lodge in. The third church age saw the church enter the realm of politics under Emperor Constantine, and grow big as the official church of the Roman Empire.

The house meetings of the early church. The people were the church. There never was a Pastor in charge of a local church.  Later, they were replaced by the massive Roman Catholic church denominational structure.

The building became the church. A Priest was made the head of a local church.

Many high-up unscriptural offices were opened up for Popes, Cardinals, and Archbishops to lodge in, like birds in a tree.

These birds were the enemies in the first parable or church age, gobbling up the seeds of Scripture and thus getting rid of Scripture verses like ACTS 2:38 “Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ”.

Then, thanks to political scheming as they followed the example of the ruling Roman government, they became the ruling church leaders. The Priest became the unscriptural head of the church. Later they chose the word Pastor to be the unscriptural head of a church. Replacing Bible verses with their unscriptural Greek philosophy of “One God in three Persons”, christening, and confirmation.

The guardians of the church have slowly become the agents of decay.

Church systems and human society fail miserably in the end until the birds of prey gobble up their flesh as the churches and most of mankind are destroyed in great tribulation. Church people fall into more and more fleshly habits like smoking, drinking, addicted to TV, pornography, and doomscrolling on mobile phones. They reject the Spirit of understanding Scripture which requires a lot of hard work, and glorify the lusts of the flesh.

They reserve a special dislike for those who seek to be strictly Scriptural.
