Two sets of Seals
There are 7 Seals for the written Word and 7 Seals for the unwritten Word that is hidden in the Scriptures.
REVELATION 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne
a book written within and on the backside,
sealed with seven seals.
There are 6 Seals written in symbols within the Bible in Revelation Chapter 6. On the backside, or well hidden in the Bible are the seven Thunders in Revelation Chapter 10 and the Seventh Seal in Revelation 8:1 which have no symbols and which thus cannot be interpreted. The seven Thunders come after the Seals.
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?
When the First Seal was opened, the Seals that was inside the Book, …. "And the First Seal was opened," of the Seals on the inside of the Book, It opened with a thunder
The written Seals use symbols to hide their meaning from the casual reader and from the Devil.
God used seven angels to inspire the end-time prophet to penetrate the veil of mystery that surrounds six of the seven Seals that are written in symbolic form in Revelation Chapter 6. The Seventh Seal still remains a mystery as it refers to the Coming of the Lord which is the biggest mystery in the Universe. Nothing is written about this Seal. Just silence.
But the Bride now also needs angelic help to be able to understand the mysteries of the first Six Seals. They Seal up all the writing that is in the Book. Now that they are disclosed, the Bride of Christ should be able to puzzle out all the written mysteries that pertain to the church.
Some written mysteries are only for the Jews in the 3½ years of great Tribulation. The Bride will not understand great Tribulation mysteries like the seven Trumpets that call the Jews back to Israel and the seven Judgement Vials that punish the world and the foolish virgins during great Tribulation.
There was writing in the Book and there was writing that seems to be on the “back cover”. Not actually written in the Book, but somehow hidden in the Book.
Similar in some way as to how the Bible tells us that Daniel heard the 7 Thunders.
“On the backside” means AFTER all the mysteries that were written in the Book to prepare the Bride for the Coming of the Lord have been revealed.
We first need to thoroughly understand the written mysteries that have been revealed. Only then will we be able to comprehend the unwritten mysteries of the 7 Thunders that are hidden in the Scriptures, when they finally happen at the end of time.
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR
It's on the backside, when a Book is completed. Not did he say, "On the front side." He said,
"On the backside," after It's all done, completed.
Then, these Seven Thunders' voices is the only thing, that's stuck to the Book, that's not revealed. It's not even written in the Book.
Daniel heard the Seven Thunders
If Daniel heard the seven Thunders then where are the 7 Thunders in the Book of Daniel?
62-0909 IN HIS PRESENCE
And I think, if the Lord willing, I want to take, the next time that we start, on the Seven Seals of Revelations, and the seven natural seals. And, then if we get through in time, take the seven seals on the back of the Book, see. Now, that may take a little time. See, there's seven seals that's opened; there's seven plagues, seven trumpets, all those sevens; and them seals we could take first. But then on the back of the Book is sealed with seven seals.
Daniel heard the Voice as the thunders, and was forbidden to write it.
John was forbidden to write it.
But it was sealed on the backside of the Book, that is, AFTER all of the mysteries of the Book has been given out and revealed.
[The seven Thunders are mentioned in the Bible after the Seven Seals. That means the seven Thunders will only be revealed after the Seven Seals have been revealed.]
You notice Daniel said there, "The mysteries in the days of these voices, the mystery of God should be unfolded by that time." See, "the mystery," Who God is, how He was made flesh, all these things should be unfolded by that time.
And then we're ready for
the Seven Seals on the backside of the Book, that's not even revealed to man,
not even wrote in the Bible, but they'll have to be just exactly compare with the rest of the Bible, and I think it'll be a great thing.
“On the backside of the Book”, almost means like on the back cover. Invisible. Not obviously written in the Book. Somehow hidden away in the written Scriptures.
“On the backside of the Book” means AFTER the revelations IN the Book were complete.
What it means is that the seven Thunders are somehow hidden in the Book in a way that can only be grasped once the symbols of the written mysteries have been understood.
60-1205 THE EPHESIAN CHURCH AGE
As Daniel heard the seven thunders, and forbidden;
and John heard the voices, and this Book was sealed, and the back of the book was sealed with Seven Seals; but in the days of these Seals to be opened, "The mystery of God would be finished." In other words, God would be known to His Church; not in three people, but as one Person. "The mystery of God would be revealed,"
60-1205 THE EPHESIAN CHURCH AGE
Pentecostal Church with all the signs and wonders. They're there, but the devil's got his counterfeits, which the Bible said he would have.
Our next problem is deception. Satan can endlessly come up with clever ideas to manipulate the quotes of brother Branham and take the quotes away from Scripture. Message people say that the Thunders have uttered (brother Branham never said that) or that brother Branham is the “Voice of God”. The New Testament never says that.
Be careful. The quotes must explain Scripture, they must not replace Scripture.
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.
"Don't you write it." John saw the same thing, and it had
already be written outside of the Bible; and had seven seals on the back of the Book,
that no man could open those seals, that was them voices. Here's the Bible written, which is a mystery Itself. But on the backside of the Bible,
the revelations was shown to Daniel, say that there's seven voices to be uttered that no man could open, no man knowed what it was.
But the Bible said, and told Daniel and also John,
"That in the last days these SEVEN VOICES would be known by the real true Church."
“Seven voices”.
Not a return ministry of the one voice of William Branham, the voice (singular) of the seventh angel.
54-0512 THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES
But listen, another Scripture comes to me. Daniel said... When He said, "Close..."
When he seen this Angel come down with a rainbow over His head, put one foot on the land, and one on the sea,
and held up His hands, and swore by Him that lives from ever and ever. When those seven voices uttered --the Seven Thunders uttered their voices, He said, "Seal it; not known until the last day." He said. "But the time this mystery of God should be finished,
WHEN these will be revealed to the Church;
and He swore by Him that lives forever and forever, that time should be no more."
Listen what He said there then. He said, "Go thy way, Daniel; shut up the Book."
When these Thunders are revealed to the church, the revelation of the mystery of God should be finished.
DANIEL 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was
upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever
that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
REVELATION 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
REVELATION 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth
lifted up his hand to heaven,
:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever,
[Very similar to what Daniel wrote]
who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
The river represents the Jews in the tiny land of Israel that has one main river, the River Jordan.
Land and sea represents the Gentile church that spread over the world.
The Angel lifted one hand for his born-again Gentile Bride, the right hand of power. They see Jesus, not as a Man, but as the revealed Word of God.
The other Christian group, the saved foolish virgins, will not be caught up to Heaven. Fooled by the wrong doctrines of their church leaders, they will find themselves in great Tribulation where they will be killed.
Daniel saw the man who lifted both hands for the Jews. The born again 144000 and the third of the Jews who are spared at the Third Coming of Jesus. These Jews see Jesus as a Man when He leaves the Bride in heaven and comes down to the Jews in Jerusalem]
ZECHARIAH 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Two thirds of the Jews will die in great tribulation before Jesus intervenes.
“A time, times, and an half” represents the 3.5 years of great Tribulation that the Jews have to go through to be purged.
“Time” starts for the Jews when the 3½ years of great Tribulation starts. That is when God turns back to them as He closes the door on the saved foolish virgins of the Gentile church who have to perish in great Tribulation.
Everyone who does not take on the mark of the beast will be killed.
REVELATION 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
The Confederation of non Catholic churches is the image of the beast who follow the Roman Catholic church structure. Like the Catholics, they put one man in charge of a church who is called vicar, reverend, minister, priest, or pastor. They believe the Catholic errors of Good Friday, Easter Monday, Christmas, 25 December, a seven-year Tribulation, an infallible leader, and the Trinity, etc.
But “time” ends for the Gentiles as they step into their new bodies to escape from the 3.5 years of great Tribulation.
Very important. The seven Thunders are involved with the Jews as well as with the Gentile Bride.
REVELATION 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth
lifted up his hand to heaven,
:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever,
who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be
time no longer:
DANIEL 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was
upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever
that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people
Revelation is the Gentile scene for the 7 Thunders that give the worldwide Bride power to change into new immortal bodies.
Daniel has a different perspective. He saw the supernatural power over Nature that is given by the 7 Thunders to the two Jewish prophets in Israel.
But the similarities count.
“And sware by Him that liveth forever”. “Lifted up His hand to Heaven”. Then “time” is mentioned.
Daniel and John saw the same event from different viewpoints. Thus Daniel also heard the seven Thunders but never mentioned them as he was told not to write them.
So, we have to learn how to interpret Scripture where little is written and where there are gaps.
The 7 Thunders from Heaven or from Earth
62-0624 SUPER SIGN
And we understand, and we're looking now for
those mysterious thunders that came out from heaven,
in the book of Revelations, that was sealed on the back of the book.
62-1230E IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR
Look where the voices was, the Thunders. Not in Heaven; on earth!
The Thunders never uttered from the heavens. They uttered from the earth.
63-0324 THE SEVENTH SEAL
Now, now, do you notice on the opening of this Seventh Seal, it's also in a threefold mystery.
This one I have... will speak, and have spoke,
that it is the mystery of the seven thunders.
The seven thunders in heaven will unfold this mystery. It'll be right at the coming of Christ,
because Christ said no one knew when He would return.
Are the Thunders from Heaven or earth? We do not really know from the quotes.
If they come from Heaven then they are not part of brother Branham’s ministry on earth. Thus, not part of a return ministry.
Nor part of the earthly ministries of the seven messengers.
Seven Thunders not written but hidden in the Book
63-0324 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON THE SEALS
Notice. Then if you want to take them a little more technic. Look, Eve talked here, if you want to take it in the language that's here which is written so it's hid from the eyes, wise and prudent.
Written in a symbolic way that hides the meaning if you do not understand the symbol.
For example, if you think "fruit" in Genesis means a natural fruit then you have no clue what Eve did wrong and why she got a different punishment to Adam. She disobeyed God, ate a fruit and got punished in childbearing. No wonder the atheists mock the churches.
But, Elizabeth said to Mary, blessed be the "fruit of thy womb". That gives one a totally different insight. A Baby born outside of sex to a virgin mother. That is what Eve should have done.
65-0718 SPIRITUAL FOOD IN DUE SEASON
Then back out there at the beginning of the Seven Seals, when those
seven Angels come down in that pyramid form, stood there and told me to return back here and speak on those Seven Seals,
[That happened on 8 March 1963 at Sunset Peak].
and He'd be with me, He'd show me what they were, the lost things.
I always thought it was sealed on the back of the Book and it'd be something wasn't wrote in the Book, but it turned out that it was made known that He cannot do that. It isn't something that's written in the Book... It's something that's been hid in the Book.
[The seven Thunders are hidden in the Book in some mysterious way].
"For whosoever shall take one Word from It or add one word to It..." So it is a mystery that's been in the Book in these seven church ages. Each one of them produced a mystery, all about water baptism and these other things that they've fumbled about so long.
Brother Branham never stood under the cloud of 1963
65-0718 SPIRITUAL FOOD IN DUE SEASON
Then when that went up, the big observatories from way down in California, plumb down in Mexico, over Tucson, everywhere, taking the picture of It. [On 28 February 1963]. It was a mysterious sight.
Brother Fred Sothmann there, sitting right back there, 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 sometime ago, everybody saying, "Looky here. This looks like this, and them Angels' wings, how they're folded in there."
Not true. The seven angels spoke to brother Branham on 8 March at Sunset Peak when he got the commission to preach on the Revelation of the Seven Seals from the 7 angels who formed no cloud on that day.
Angels had formed a supernatural cloud 42 kilometers high on 28 February near Flagstaff. That was one day before the hunting season opened on 1 March 1963. So brother Branham could not have been there. He was not a man who would hunt illegally.
The great cloud of 1963 was photographed about 200 miles north of Sunset Peak eight days earlier, on 28 February 1963, just north of the city of Flagstaff.
The supernatural cloud was the sign of the Son of man in the sky and brother Branham knew nothing about it because he was down in Tucson. Thus the cloud was a sign that did not emphasize brother Branham. It was a sign that Jesus, the Son of man, was going to be revealed in His Word. Jesus is the Word of God. John the Baptist introduced Jesus as a Man walking amongst men. Brother Branham revealed Jesus, as the Word, walking through the pages of the Bible.
62-0527 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Then I think about the river in 1936, I think what He said. What happened there? Many of you know. I was just a boy, and of baptizing my first baptism when that Angel of the Lord came down and stood over where I was at …
Now, what did He say there? "As it was, as John the Baptist was sent forth to forerun the first coming of Christ, your message will forerun the second coming."
Brother Branham does not reveal Jesus as a Man. Jesus is revealed as the Bible that can be understood when the written mysteries are made known.
MATTHEW 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
The 42 kilometer high supernatural cloud, formed by seven angels, was a sign that the six Seals in Revelation Chapter 6 were going to be revealed.
The first exodus had the sign of a natural bush that burned with a supernatural fire. The Israelites came out of Egypt.
The second exodus was a natural Baby born supernaturally to a virgin mother. Then the church came out of the Israelites.
The third exodus had a high-altitude supernatural cloud formed by angel wings together with a high-altitude smoke cloud from an exploded rocket. These two clouds were seen just after dark for 28 minutes just north of the city of Flagstaff in Arizona. The sign of the third exodus that the Bride must come out of the churches.
Peter prophesied of the vapour of smoke that forms a smoke cloud. So there has to be a high altitude smoke cloud in the heaven. Peter made a slightly different prophecy to Joel. Peter's prophecy was fulfilled in 1963.
ACTS 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and “vapour of smoke”:
“Wonders in heaven (singular). One place. High in the sky, 42 kilometers almost above the city of Flagstaff on 28 February 1963.
“Blood”. John Kennedy, President of America, was shot in the head in 1963. His wife Jackie had his blood on her dress in front of the TV cameras. This assassination of the world’s most powerful man shocked the world.
“Fire”. War. President Eisenhower had foolishly begun a military intervention of sending military advisors in defense of the corrupt South Vietnamese President. Then President Kennedy foolishly continued to send military advisors to South Vietnam. After a while, in 1963, he decided it was wrong and he wanted to withdraw. Just before he could start that withdrawal he was killed. Then in 1965 President Johnson even more foolishly escalated the war. The American soldiers fought bravely and never lost a battle. The Johnson government mishandled the war and it was basically lost by the politicians. Almost 60000 American soldiers died. This was America’s fate for rejecting the preaching of the Bible mysteries by brother Branham between 1947 and 1965.
“Fire”. In 1967 race riots also exploded as American cities began to burn.
Joel had a similar prophecy but there were subtle differences to what Peter said.
Joel's prophecy was fulfilled in 1945.
Joel had prophesied of “pillars of smoke” instead of “vapour of smoke”. The “mushroom” stems from the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima on August 6 and on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
Blood and Fire symbolized the awful Second World War from 1939 to 1945. About 70 million people were killed in the most brutal war of human history.
The atomic age was born in a shock to the world as two cities were each destroyed by one atomic bomb. Then came a great change. In 1947 the United Nations gave the Jews the right to fight for a small portion of their homeland Israel. In 1947 the angel came to brother Branham to launch him on his incredible supernatural ministry that would also reveal the secrets of the written Word of God. In 1947 the transistor was invented. This enabled computers and the internet to be developed which permit the Gospel to be spread through cyberspace to all the nations of all 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.
JOEL 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and “pillars of smoke”.
“Wonders in the heavens (plural)”. Scientific wonders. High-altitude military aircraft had been developed and the amazing but deadly scientific separation of military-grade explosive Uranium and Plutonium to make atomic bombs. The pillars of smoke rose well over 10000 metres, much higher than Mount Everest. The height of the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima was 18 kilometers. Three days later a second bomb exploded over Nagasaki.
“Heavens”. Plural. It happened in two places on two separate dates.
7 Seals are revealed but not opened
Seven angels gave the Revelation of the Seven Seals to William Branham in 1963 but never revealed the Seventh Seal and never revealed the single Thunder that happens when the First Seal opens. So the First Seal could not open, nor the seventh or last Seal.
Thus, the Seven Seals never opened. They have to be revealed before they can be opened.
The small writing on the cover says “In the days of the voice of the seventh angel…” Brother Branham is not the Voice of God. The New Testament never speaks of the Voice of God.
AMOS 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
:8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear?
The revelation of the eagle prophet must bring us back to the roar of the Lion of the tribe of Judah, Who is the written Word.
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR?
When the First Seal was opened, the Seals that was inside the Book,
REVELATION 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
What the seven Thunders said is sealed up in Heaven and not written out on earth. The content of each Thunder is hidden behind an unwritten Seal.
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR?
And I was about to write: when I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal (capital S-e-a-l), Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
It's on the backside, when a Book is completed.
Not did he say, "On the front side." He said,
"On the backside," after It's all done, completed.
Then, these
Seven Thunders' voices is the only thing, that's stuck to the Book, that's not revealed.
… Now there's only one thing left,
that's Seven Thunders, that we don't know.
And it would not have thundered in vain.
When all the written mysteries have been completely revealed, only then will the seven Thunders utter.
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR?
And Seven Thunders, right IN the revelation here of Jesus Christ,
It's some mystery. Does not the Bible say that This is "The revelation of Jesus Christ"?
Some message-preachers then said that the seven Thunders are the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is the last Book of the Bible.
In that Book, in Chapter 10 it speaks of the 7 Thunders.
Why, there is some hidden mystery, then, of It.
Hum! What is It?
The Seven Thunders have It.
For, John was just about to write, and a Voice came down from Heaven, said, "Don't write It. But, seal It”.
The seven Thunders hold a mystery that is hidden from us because what they said was never written and is thus unknown to us until they utter right at the end, just before the Lord Comes.
7 Thunders only utter after the Mysteries are Revealed
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR?
Now notice. Now note. The seven voices was thunders, blasts.
From this quote, some claim that the Thunders were the seven messengers.
Now is It plain? When the First Seal was opened, the Seals that was inside the Book, these mysteries that was sounded forth: justification, sanctification, Roman Catholic church, Protestants! And when all their little battles and things left these loose ends in the Word of God,
the seventh angel comes on and gathers them all up and explains them. See?
And THEN, he finishes, Seven Thunders utter out.
But the seven Thunders only utter AFTER the seventh messenger has finished revealing the mysteries of Scripture.
That will be right at the end.
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR?
And then, if this is the continuation, for the sounding of these last trumpets, or these last Seven Thunders that's coming forth, the mysteries, the last Seals, It'll have to compete, or compare, with the rest the Scripture. And if them first Ones in there opened with a blast of thunder, the second Ones will, too, that's on the backside. Watch what happens. If the vision was Scripture, then it must be interpreted by the Scripture, or a continuation of the same Scripture.
Notice, Revelations 10 verses 3 and 4, "Seven Thunders." Seven Thunders, and then notice, verses 3 and 4, and then (what?) an oath from that mighty Angel, that, "Time was finished." When these Thunders, you see, brought forth their voices, then the Angel...
Just think of it! "An Angel, clothed in a cloud, and a rainbow covenant over His head." Why, you know Who that is. "Put one foot on the land, and on the sea, and lift up His hand and swore, that, 'When them Seven Thunders uttered their voices,' that, 'time would be no more.'"
And if the ministry of the mysteries of God is finished, what if that is them seven mysteries coming forth?
The seventh angel reveals the written mysteries that prepare the Bride for the Coming of the Lord. Then the seven mystery Thunders will utter.
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR?
But, this One didn't come from the earth.
He come down from Heaven, BECAUSE the mystery is all finished.
And when the mystery is finished,
the Angel said, "Time shall be no more," and Seven Thunders throwed their voices out.
The Angel comes down because the written mysteries have been successfully understood by the Bride.
That only happens when the seventh-age Bride has been restored back to the beliefs of the first church age. That is the great mystery of God.
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR?
"Time shall be no more." He announces that time is over. What happens? What happens? Could that be so now, brethren? Seriously think. If it is,
then the pyramid is capped by the Seven Thunders.
Seven Thunders form the Cap of the Pyramid. Thus, they do not refer to all the church ages that form the Pyramid. They could not have uttered during the past church ages.
You remember the pyramid Message?
It's the Capstone.
What did It do?
The Holy Spirit capped off the individual and seal it, when we ADDED to our faith;
righteousness, and godliness, and faith, and so forth,
and kept adding to it till we got seven things. And the seventh one was love, which is God.
That's how He makes the individual, and caps him and seals him with the Holy Spirit.
There is the capstone on an individual’s life which is the Holy Spirit. Than there is also a Capstone on the seven church ages, which is the Coming of the Lord.
Then, if that be so,
He's got seven church ages, that He's had seven mysteries that's been sounded away,
and they fought for, to bring back.
And now the Headstone comes, to cap off the Church. Does the Thunders mean that, my brethren?
Sirs, is that where we're at?
1965-1128 GOD'S ONLY PROVIDED PLACE OF WORSHIP
Sometime the Capstone will return, the head of all of it, and receive the Bride unto Himself;
One month before he died and brother Branham was still waiting for the Capstone to come to finish the seven church ages.
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR?
According to God's Word, the seventh messenger will finish,
seventh Message will be finished, and THEN the Seven Thunders.
And he saw the capstone rolled over.
… Is this the mystery, of the Thunders, that will bring back the Headstone? You know, the pyramid never was capped.
The Headstone is yet to come.
It's been rejected. Could it be, brethren, sisters?
The future seven Thunders are needed to bring to pass the future coming of the Headstone or Capstone.
Or, is this that Third Pull that He told me, three or four years ago?
The First Pull, you remember what happened? I tried to explain It. He said, "Don't do that."
The Second Pull, He said, "Don't try." And I pulled, anyhow. You remember? All of you remember. It's on tape and everything.
And then He said,
"Now there's a Third Pull coming, but don't try to explain It."
The Third Pull remains a complete mystery that we must not try to explain.
7 Thunders changes us for Rapturing Faith
62-1230 IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END SIR?
Is the mystery all finished? Has the sounding all over? Is that really
them Seven Thunders, fixing to utter out something, that the little group that is gathered together will receive a Rapturing Faith, to go in the Rapture when He comes? "For we'll be changed," as quick as those Angels come, "in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye;
and shall be caught up together with those that had sleep, to meet the Lord in the air."
The Thunders will produce rapturing faith at the time that your bodies instantly change into immortal bodies.
That is when you step out of time and become part of Eternity.
… If it's coming time that the revelation of the Seven Thunders will be revealed to the Church, how to go, I don't know.
The Seven Thunders have to explain how we can get a new body so that we can be caught up into the air to meet the Lord.
Seven Thunders revealed in the Seven Seals
The Seven Seals only reveal what the seven Thunders do, not what they say nor what they are. That remains a total secret.
The Seven Seals reveal the function or purpose of the seven Thunders.
The Seven Seals never reveal the content of what the seven Thunders say.
Brother Branham never says the 7 Thunders have uttered
If you believe that the seven Thunders have uttered then you have been fooled and become part of the foolish virgins.
1965 LAODICEAN CHURCH AGE - CHURCH AGE BOOK CPT.9
Now this messenger of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things.
One: According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers.
Two: He WILL reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals.
It WILL be these Divinely revealed 'mystery-truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. Exactly so.
Here we hit a huge puzzle if we claim that the seven Thunders have been revealed in the past.
In 1965, in the Church Ages book, brother Branham says that the seven Thunders were revealed in 1963 in the Seven Seals revelation.
But in the same sentence, in 1965, he says that the mysteries of the seven Thunders WILL turn the children to the fathers, sometime in the future. But he died that year.
That is a contradiction, unless you consider two different aspects of the seven Thunders, their function or purpose and their content.
So, how do the mystery truths get revealed?
When you read the Seven Seals you discover what the seven Thunders will do. You will discover that their purpose or function has been revealed. But you discover nothing about what they say. You discover that their content is a total mystery.
When can we literally turn to the apostolic fathers? They are buried and their spirits are in a higher dimension.
But they will be resurrected in immortal bodies.
Then the seven Thunders will utter to show us how to change our bodies.
When we are in immortal bodies, then we will have literally turned to the fathers. We will then be exactly the same as them.
MARK 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
We cannot tell the difference between first age and last age when we are in new bodies.
In a vision brother Branham saw his converts in Heaven.

And here was those people standing around like that when I said, "Will Paul have to be judged for the Gospel he preached?"
Said, "Yes."
I said, "I've preached every Word just exactly the way he did."
And the millions screamed out, "We are resting on that."
That's the way I want it to be when I cross there. See? I want it to be that way, just like that, just what Paul said: don't want to add one thing to it, take one thing away from it. Just what the Bible said, that's just the way I want to keep it going. You see? And of course, you people like that, denominations on every side is going to raise up a barrier against It.
Brother Branham wants us to believe what Paul believed. But churches today object to the fact that Paul never put a pastor in charge of a church.
What the 7 Thunders say, the 7th Seal, and the new name are not written in the Book. The apostles did not preach on those issues. Thus, they will not be revealed until after the resurrection when the apostles join us on earth. Then we will learn together with them.

When the First Seal was opened,
the Seals that was inside the Book,
these mysteries that was sounded forth: justification, sanctification, Roman Catholic church, Protestants! And when all their little battles and things left these loose ends in the Word of God,
the seventh angel comes on and gathers them all up and explains them. See? And THEN, he finishes, Seven Thunders utter out.
But the seven Thunders only utter AFTER the seventh messenger has revealed the mysteries written in the Scriptures, which he had done by 1965.
… And if the ministry of the mysteries of God is finished, what if that is them seven mysteries coming forth?
The mysteries of the Word must first be revealed. When did that happen? 1965. Only after 1965 can the Thunders utter.

But it is the seventh angel that had this type of Message. What was it?
Notice his type of Message, "Finishing all the mysteries of God, that are written in the Book."
Brother Branham had to reveal the mysteries that are written in the Bible.
A Seal within the Book can hide the meaning of the writing by using symbols. Brother Branham revealed the meaning of those symbols.
A Seal on the backside totally hides any meaning. Cannot see the writing that is hidden from sight.
REVELATION 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
The written mysteries of Scripture are hidden by the symbols of the six Seals in Revelation Chapter 6.
If you do not properly understand these symbols, you cannot understand the mysteries.
If a prophet reveals the written symbols, then you can understand the written mysteries.
Then there are also the mysteries that are hidden in the Scriptures like the Coming of the Lord (which is the Seventh Seal) and the new name of Jesus. These are hidden by having no symbols. Even a prophet cannot understand something that is hidden away without having any written symbol that can be interpreted.
The mysteries that have no symbols are sealed by the seven Thunders that also have no symbols. They are hidden mysteriously in the Scriptures and we will only be able to recognize them at the end if we properly understand the mysteries that are written in the Bible.
Brother Branham came to reveal the mysteries that are written in the Bible.
When we understand the written mysteries properly, then we will be able to puzzle out the mysterious seven Thunders when they do utter. Because these hidden mysteries that have no symbols will be linked in some mysterious way to what is written in Scripture.

The seventh angel gathers them up, and finishes the entire mystery. That's what the Bible said, "Finishes the mystery of the written Book."
63-0320 THE THIRD SEAL
The seventh angel, when he sounds, all the mysteries of God should be finished up by his sounding.
Then after it's revealed, the Angel come down from heaven, which was Christ.
63-0320 THE THIRD SEAL
And then goes on and said, in the day just before these seven thunders, all the mysteries here are revealed.
