Spiritual death eternally separates from God



Only the Spirit of God is eternal. He never began and He will never end. To be eternal we must belong to God.

Rejection leads to eternal separation

Rejection of God’s Word results in eternal separation but acceptance is eternal life.

Eternal life is only possible if someone was originally in the thoughts of God. The spirit of such a person had to be created and placed in a temporary but sinful human body that is subject to their free will and salvation by the blood and sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Their human spirit has to die and be replaced by the Holy Spirit. Then, if they die they will be resurrected in a glorified body just before the Lord comes.

Adam was a created spirit when God’s original thoughts about Adam turned into a spirit-man. The spirit of Adam was put into a body of flesh and bone and the Holy Spirit was the life in his veins and arteries. Adam had free will, and he chose to fall. Adam’s fallen body was filled with blood and was a temporary body. He had to die and was given a glorified body much later at the resurrection of the Old Testament saints who rose just after Jesus was resurrected.

MATTHEW 27:50   Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

:51   And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

:52     And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

:53     And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

This perfect glorified body of Adam was part of God’s original thoughts and was thus eternal as it is out of time and is bloodless.

I CORINTHIANS 15:50   Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;

Eternal never ages and is not subject to death. Eternal is totally and willingly under the control of God because God alone knows how to build for Eternity.

To be eternal, we must have always been somewhere in God’s thoughts.

No Bride member today can be eternal unless that person’s spirit was placed in a temporary sinful body to get reborn by getting saved, sanctified, and Spirit-filled. The person must then be restored to the original teachings of the apostles. Eventually, if they die, they will get resurrected in a glorified body just before the Second Coming of the Lord or if they remain alive their living bodies will be changed into glorified bodies by the seven Thunders.

Heaven and earth are creations that also require changing in order to become part of Eternity.

The sea will explode to eliminate the crust of the earth with its mines and any evidence of mankind’s civilizations, diseases, and sins. The flames will burn up the satellites that orbit the earth. A new earth will be formed on those purged ashes.

The sanctuary in Heaven was cleansed when Jesus died at Calvary.

Satan introduced sin into Heaven at the beginning. That had to be cleansed.

Jesus was the spiritual Seed of Abraham Who died 2300 Bible years, of 360 days, after the birth of Isaac, the natural seed of Abraham. God made His covenant with the seed of Abraham. This covenant was confirmed in the death of Christ.

GENESIS 15:18   In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land,

GALATIANS 3:16   Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

:17     And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ,

DANIEL 9:27   And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

A week represents 7 years in prophecy.

Laban said to Jacob:

GENESIS 29:27   Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

The ministry of Jesus was supposed to be for 7 years. But in the midst of that week of 7 years, after three and a half years, Jesus was killed. His death ended the sacrifice of animals in the Temple. The pagan Romans destroyed the Temple and made the Temple site desolate. The Roman Catholic church resurrected the spirit of the pagan Romans on the ruins of the Pagan Roman Empire. Then Roman Catholicism began to spread its unscriptural ideas like Trinity, Christmas, and Good Friday which make the Bible beliefs desolate in the churches.

DANIEL 8:14   And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.61-0618 REVELATION CHAPTER FIVE.2
Now, there was a time when it was in dispute. From the fortieth day,

from the beginning of the first day of the cleansing of the sanctuary, or Christ went to Calvary,

there was forty days unto the ascension.

REVELATION 21:1   And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

The new Heaven and the new earth are then part of Eternity.

Only God is eternal. Only God can give Eternal Life.

Sin and sinners are not eternal, but the consequences of sin are eternal. Because Death is the eternal separation from God.

The sinners will cease to exist when their time in the Lake of Fire is up. But there will be no way back for them to God. Their separation from God will be eternal.

63 0321   THE FOURTH SEAL

Fourth stage of the rider... Watch. The fourth stage of this rider is called death.

Death means eternal separation from God.

That's what death means: to be eternal separated from God.

…  "Fear not, the girl's not dead, but sleepeth." They laughed Him to scorn. Is that right? Oh, my. See, saints don't die. Separation from God is death, eternal death, and this fellow is called death. So, keep away from him.

Jesus referred to the death of righteous people as sleeping. They are not separated from God. They will be resurrected and always be with God.

The next verse indicates the eventual disappearance of all traces of the wicked.

MALACHI 4:1    For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Unforgiven sinners will all burn in the Lake of Fire depending on the sentence they receive on Judgement Day. Then they will cease to exist when their time is up. If they burned for eternity, then everyone basically gets the same sentence which makes no sense.

The Lake of Fire is not eternal; otherwise, people would need eternal life to be in the Lake of Fire. But eternal life is what saves us from hell and, eventually, the Lake of Fire.

REVELATION 20:14   And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 

ROMANS 12:19    Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 

The only Person who may claim vengeance is God.

Yet here we see vengeance linked to eternity.

Jude 1:7   ... suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 

The eternal fire must describe God. His vengeance means that the unrepentant sinners will never come back into His presence for all eternity.

Only a person can claim vengeance. A fire does not feel vengeance towards people. A fire has no feelings or emotions.

DEUTERONOMY 4:24   For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

The consuming fire is God Who is the eternal fire. He takes vengeance.

And His vengeance is eternal as He never alters His verdict.

Sinners will be eternally separated from God. They will cease to exist after burning up in the Lake of Fire, so they will never be back in the Presence of God.

63 0324   THE SEVENTH SEAL

Didn't He say He hated the Nicolaitanes and that Jezebel? Stay away from it.

Didn't He say He'd kill Jezebel's daughters with the killing of death which is eternal separation from His Presence?

Don't trust in it at all. Get away from it. So, God remembers.

63-0801  A PARADOX

The new Birth is a birth. It was a new. It was a paradox, when God brought new Life to the human race.

To reject it, is Eternal separation. To receive it, is Eternal Life.

ISAIAH 66:24   And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Their worm shall not die. Sinners in the Lake of Fire will stay alive until their sentence is served.

Neither shall their fire be quenched. Their fire, their portion of the Lake of Fire cannot be put out however hard they scream or repent. It is too late. But eventually, when the last sinner has been consumed, the Lake of Fire will go out as it will have no further purpose.

Maybe you're in just the three dimensions.

[Space has 3 dimensions, length, breadth, height].

This is another dimension. It's moving in on me. But it's a spirit. You see? It's in another world.

Another dimension is the fourth dimension which involves time and the spirits of unsaved people as well as devils. This will all finally disappear in the Lake of Fire.

There is also the sixth dimension which is the Heavenly home of angels and saved spirits. This sixth dimension is the realm that brother Branham was contacting.

57-0728  THIRSTING FOR LIFE

Now, a strong thing struck the platform then. Stop that. See? Now, we're not in this dimension of... If you scientists here, this is not the three dimensions we live in. It's another dimension which is closer to God.

62-1125   THE COUNTDOWN

Now, I think that when the sinner dies he goes to this fourth dimension.

Notice. The first thing, he cannot go in the Presence of God because he is a sinner, and his time is up on earth.

62-0908  PRESENT STAGE OF MY MINISTRY

And when a Christian dies, he goes into the sixth dimension.

54-0228  EXPECTATION

Step up in faith. Move out of these three dimensions up into the next one.

And God is in the seventh dimension.

Now then, you see, the Christian when he dies, he goes under the altar of God, right into the Presence of God, under the altar. And he's at rest.

62-0909  COUNTDOWN

Heavenly Father, we are now approaching the great mighty Throne of God, as mortal beings in a natural body, yet our voices speaking out the words that's coming into that great Throne somewhere in the other dimensions where God sits.

GOD'S COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM AND HIS SEED

You're saved from your sickness,

or you're saved from eternal separation.

And it's all done by the finished works of Christ at Calvary. Amen. There you are. Hallelujah.

57-0228  A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE

…but we solemnly confess that we are sinners and worthy of punishment and eternal separation from His Presence.

57-0305  DIVINE LOVE

It means the difference between an eternal separation from God or an eternal Presence of God.

57-0725  HEAR YE HIM

And great signs of the risen Christ is here, our great Hero, Who died in our stead, and taken away our sickness and our death (Eternal separation from God), and given us the privilege to come to Him. We thank Thee for this, and we worship Thee with all of our heart.

62-0603  THE END TIME EVANGELISM

We find out that at the beginning when a messenger was sent, to misconstrue His Word or to doubt one Word, it was total annihilation and Eternal separation from God, to misconstrue that messenger's Word.

63-0317   GOD HIDING HIMSELF IN SIMPLICITY THEN REVEALING HIMSELF IN THE SAME

It had to be paid for with eternal separation, never to be forgiven in this world or the world to come.

64-1227  WHO DO YOU SAY THIS IS

And the real, genuine Church and Bride of Christ, is joined to Christ which is the Word. And you don't marry into any organization, any denomination.

… To do it is Eternal separation from God. I hope everybody gets that.

The nail marks in the hands and feet of Jesus will be an eternal reminder of the awful price that he had to pay in order to conquer and pay the price for sin.

The saints will never be able to think much of themselves when they see the nail marks.

Thus, their humility will be eternal. And that will make Heaven a better place.
