What is known about the 7 Thunders? Not much


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


How can people know so much about what is not even written?

First published on the 29th of March 2013 — Last updated on the 11th of April 2025

What the Thunders said is not written in the Bible

Thus we cannot know what the 7 Thunders utter.

Let us start with what the Bible says.

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

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.

Revelation 10: 3-4

So these thunders cannot say something that is written in the Bible yet they must agree with everything that is written in the Bible, all 31,100 verses.

They cannot contradict the written Scriptures.

The true Bible is the 1769 King James Version of the Bible.

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.

Revelation 5: 1

An unexpected Scripture for a study on the seven Thunders.

There are mysteries written within the Bible and mysteries that are not written but somehow hidden from us. These are described as being on the backside. As if they are written on the outside back cover. In other words, they are not written directly on the pages that are between the covers i.e. inside the Bible.

On the backside means that you will only get there after you have read and understood everything that is written in the Bible.

Thus, you must first understand the written mysteries in the Bible, only after that will the unwritten mysteries happen in some mysterious way. As a result, we must study the written Word and be on our toes so that we can expect the unexpected.

The written mysteries are sealed up by the Seven Seals that are written in Revelation Chapter 6.

The unwritten mysteries are sealed up by a second set of "seven seals" that are referred to in Revelation Chapter 10:3-4 but whose content John was told not to write. These seven unwritten seals on the backside of the Book are the seven Thunders.

What are unwritten mysteries?

So the unwritten seven Thunders seal up these unwritten mysteries.

29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but

those things which are revealed

belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Deuteronomy 29: 29

God reveals the mysteries of His written Word to His prophets.

The secret things are God's unwritten mysteries. God alone deals with these matters.

For example, in the Old Testament, God's most common name was Jehovah. In the New Testament God became a Man and took on the new name of Jesus.

In the Old Testament, the name of Jesus is never mentioned. In the New Testament, once the new name of Jesus had been revealed, the old name Jehovah is never mentioned again.

Strictly speaking, God's name was YHWH. Unpronounceable. So it was not a name that could be used as it could not be spoken.

In the 1500s the English invented the letter "J" to replace the "Y" that was pronounced "Yi".

So, the unpronounceable YHWH became the unpronounceable JHVH.

The translators of the King James Bible translated YHWH (or JHVH) as LORD.

Then humans artificially added in certain vowels to turn JHVH into Jehovah, which became the Old Testament name of God.

Notice, when God took on a new name, the human name of Jesus,

it was not a man or a prophet who revealed that new name to Mary and Joseph.

The First Coming of Jesus, when He was to be born, was not revealed to Mary or Joseph by any human agency.

It was a heavenly angel, Gabriel, who announced the new name.

The prophet Isaiah revealed that a virgin would conceive the Messiah. But the key details, when He would be conceived and what His human name would be were never conveyed by any man or prophet.

Let us consider some quotes made by William Branham:

Now, the Book was written, but then, remember, It was sealed with Seven Seals. And these Seven Seals was not to be opened (Revelations 10) until the sounding of the last earthly angel on earth, Revelations 10:7. See? "And in the days of the sounding of the last angel's Message, seventh angel, the mystery of God should be finished in that age." That, and that's the age that we're living in.

We all know we're living in the Laodicea Age. There will never be another age to it. It can't be. So, we're living in the Laodicea Age. And these Seven Seals that's held that Book, is a mystery to people, should be opened at that day. That's what He promised. Now,

it won't be nothing outside the Word,

because you can't add to the Word or take from the Word.

It's got to remain always the Word. But the revelation is to reveal the Truth of It, what It is, to make It fit with the rest the Scripture.

And then God vindicates that to be the Truth. See?

"The Rapture"  04 December 1965

 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.

"Spiritual Food in Due Season"  18 July 1965

When there is no Bible evidence, man's fertile imagination knows no restraints.

It is a bottomless pit out of which pours the obscuring smoke of personal opinions and endless speculations.

We end up with peoples' interpretations of quotes instead of linking Scripture with Scripture.

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Revelation 9: 1-2

A new Pope is elected with a white smoke signal. But this is not a good symbol. Human imagination is a disaster.

When no Pope has been elected then black smoke is the signal.

No quote says that the Seven Thunders have uttered

All the different Thunders versions are built around a core belief that "the seven Thunders have uttered".

Nowhere does Brother Branham make this statement, "The seven Thunders have uttered".

The Thunders doctrines are thus built on this missing quote.

Evolution is built on the missing link.

The scientific Big Bang theory of creation is built on

the missing dark matter and the missing dark energy that make up 96% of the universe.

The best that our science can produce is to lose 96% of the universe. And people believe that.

It is thus the nature of man to believe what is missing.

It is the nature of Christians to believe what is not written in the Bible. To believe what is missing and unscriptural like the following ideas.

Trinity. Christmas. 25 December. Santa Claus. Good Friday. Easter Monday. Jesus died on a Friday and spent two nights in the tomb. There is a 7-year Tribulation. William Branham is infallible as the Voice of God, etc.

Human wisdom is always missing something that people deceitfully ignore or conceal.

Thus essentially, the Thunders doctrines are the interpretations or opinions of people as they try to make brother Branham say something that he never said.

They had false christs before Jesus' time. See? They always do that.

It's Satan running out a counterfeit

to upset the minds and the faith of the people before the thing actually happens. That's all.
Didn't Gamaliel say the same thing to the Jews that day? Said, "Wasn't there a man raised up and professed to be this, and he took four hundred out in the wilderness, they perished," and so forth.

"The Fourth Seal"   21 March 1963

Before something happens, there must be wrong opinions about it to see if you will follow man-made ideas.

This is to test your attitude: do you prefer clever interpretations or do you prefer Scripture?

But you know all those things are only a forerunning of the real thing that is to

come to throw the people off.

"The Second Seal" 19 March 1963

But now, before He comes, there will be quite a bit of confusion, because Satan is going to throw out every counterfeit that he can, see, to block the real Thing.

"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday today and forever"   04 June 1963

The false messiahs came on the scene before Jesus did.

The "7 Thunder's interpretations" must come on the scene before the Thunders utter.

 ...Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Luke 18 : 8

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10 : 17

When Jesus returns He will not find much Bible-believing faith.

People today either ignore brother Branham's teachings or else manipulate some carefully chosen quotes into a clever speculation. But we are not saved by being clever.

The 7 Thunders are a total mystery. We do not know what they are nor what they say.

We do know what the 7 Thunders will do, what their function is.

If you have some theory that tells us what they are and what they say then questions arise.

You will have to supply answers to a few basic questions:

What do we really know about the Thunders if we ignore imaginative guesswork?

Our safety lies in linking up all the Scriptures on a topic that are scattered throughout the Bible.

We must glean significant information from the patterns that are written in the King James Version of the Bible that we must regard as Absolute truth.

 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line;

here a little, and there a little;

that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Isaiah 28 : 13

You cannot run a false doctrine through the Bible. Eventually, you will reach a Scripture that contradicts the doctrine.

 To the law and to the testimony:

if they speak not according to this word,

it is because there is no light in them.

Isaiah 8 : 20

Disagree with Scripture and you are in spiritual darkness. When it gets dark, people fall asleep.

That is why even the wise virgins in the parable of the 10 virgins of Matthew Chapter 25 are fast asleep.

You must show where Daniel saw your Thunders doctrine

Now, he saw the Book sealed on seven seals. And when the...

Daniel saw the same, and when the thunders uttered their voices He said, "Don't write."

What that was in the Scripture, but it'd be revealed in the last days. We're at the time. We're at Kadesh right now.

"Faith" 13 December 1953

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, and when that was completely revealed,

THEN

the seven mysteries would open to the church;

because in there, the church would be living under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Him moving in and out and showing His signs of being alive and among us, living among us, and we're then worshipping the living Christ that's among us.

"The Ephesian Church Age" 05 December 1960

Daniel heard the 7 Thunders but was told not to write them. So he only mentioned them in a very subtle way. If you do not know how Daniel spoke about the 7 Thunders then you do not understand the 7 Thunders at all.

The written mysteries must be completely revealed before the unwritten seven Thunders will utter.

The back of the Book (the unwritten mysteries) was sealed with seven (unwritten) Seals which are the seven unwritten Thunders.

John heard them but never wrote what they said.

Then there are Seven written Seals that are written in Revelation Chapter 6. These are to be revealed by the seventh messenger or seventh angel.

So there are two sets of Seven Seals.

The written Seals to be revealed and the unwritten Seals (the Thunders) will remain a mystery until the dead rise in the resurrection.

Then the first age saints, and ourselves, will both hear them together.

We must always be in agreement with the first church-age saints.

Daniel saw and heard the Thunders. What did he say they were? Daniel did not describe them.

What did he say they said? Daniel said nothing.

Your Thunders theory must line up with what Daniel said about the Thunders.

"The back of the Book" means it was not written in the Book but is somehow hidden in the Book.

But there is a second insight into "the back of the Book".

"The back of the Book" also means that it only happens

AFTER the relevant events that are written in the Book have been completed.

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.
Oh, my! I wish I could get that, that the people could actually... Don't fail. Don't, don't fail. Please don't, this time. I'm fixing to leave you. Don't fail. You ever listened, listen!
 These Seals are on the backside of the Book.

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

The seventh angel reveals the mysteries that are written in the Book. Once they are finished, only then can the unwritten 7 Thunders on the backside of the Book utter.

Try finding the seven Thunders in the Book of Daniel.

He did not tell us what they were or what they said.

So we also cannot say what the Thunders said or what they are.

You can know the purpose of the 7 Thunders, what they are to achieve. Their function.

But until the dead rise in the resurrection, you cannot know what the Thunders are or what they say.

You cannot know their content.

The early church never believed your Thunders doctrine

Did Paul and the early church preach your version of the Thunders?

The only thing we get from the early church is what John said in Revelation Chapter 10.

This is all that the early church knew about the Thunders.

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

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.

Revelation 10 : 3-4

Revelation 10:7

He will be God's mouthpiece and HE, AS IT IS DECLARED IN MALACHI 4:6, WILL TURN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN BACK TO THE FATHERS. He will bring back the elect of the last day and they will hear a vindicated prophet

give the exact truth as it was with Paul. He will restore the truth as they had it.

And those elect with him in that day will be the ones who truly manifest the Lord and be His Body and be His voice and perform His works. Hallelujah! Do you see it?

The Laodicean Church Age Church Age Book Chapter 9

Paul never referred to the 7 Thunders. He put no emphasis on what is not written in the Bible.

Paul told us to preach what is written.
II TIMOTHY 4:2   Preach the word

We must be restored to the same truth that the first church age had.

They never had a seven Thunders doctrine. They just knew it as a complete mystery.  John never described what they said.

We must also have this same belief.

Now, notice, now, and here we are at the end time. And spiritual Eve, just as Hebrew Eve was promised... The Hebrew bride was promised the Word to return, and the spiritual bride from Pentecost, when she fell at Nicaea, then she's promised in the last days that the Word will come again. Then... If you want another Scripture, take over here, Revelations 10. And said, "In the hour, the time of the last angel, the seventh angel, seventh messenger, begins to sound, the mystery of God is finished (See?),

the restoration back to the Word.

The Bible said that this messenger of the last days would

restore them back to the original faith again, back to the faith of the fathers. But you think they receive it? No, sir.

Last days He would restore the original Word again, as He said in Malachi 4, but that she had forfeited.

"The Third Seal"   20 March 1963

We cannot be restored to the first church age by making up new Thunders doctrines.

We are to be restored back to what the early church believed.

Will we receive the same written truth that the early church had?

Message people do not want to stay with the basics of the first church age. We prefer speculating over the unwritten mysteries of the thunders, the unknown seventh seal, the unknown new name of God, and the unknown date when He is coming, etc.

Thus we are losing our focus on what is written.

Revealing the written mysteries of the Word is the message for our day.

Now that's the question. Here is where I wanted to get to, in Revelations 10. We'll get to it in a few minutes, and another Scripture verse. He said, "In the days of the Message of the seventh angel, the mystery of God ought to be finished." Here is the question, is, if you follow in that line in this hour, will it be finished? "Will I find the Faith?" Will Malachi 4 be fulfilled in this time?

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

"The Annointed Ones at the End Time"   25 July 1965

Ought to be finished. For most message-people the mystery of God will not be finished as they will not be restored to the apostolic faith of the first church age. God does not want our new clever theories. He wants us to believe what the first church believed.

And I set there, and then a voice said, "You've been gathered to your people like Jacob was gathered to his people."

...
And I said, "Does every leader have to be judged like that?"
Said, "Yes."

I said, "What about Paul?"
He said, "He will have to be judged with his."

"Well," I said, "if his group goes in, so will mine, 'cause I've preached exactly the same Word." I said, "Where he baptized in Jesus' Name, I did too. I preached..."

And the millions screamed out, all at once, said, "We're resting on that."

"The Fifth Seal"   22 March 1963

In the Judgement, we will be judged by how well we agreed with Paul and the early church. Not by how clever our Thunders theories were.

 "Thou hast tried them that say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars."

My, that is a blunt statement. ...

It was the apostles who brought the original Word to the people. That original Word... Those Ephesians knew that Word as Paul had taught it. They were full of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of Paul's hands. They looked those false apostles in the eye and said,

"You are not saying what Paul said. You are, therefore, false."

Oh, that sets my heart on fire. Get back to the Word!

It is not you that really tries the apostle, and prophet and teacher, IT IS THE WORD THAT TRIES THEM.

One of these days there is going to come a prophet to the Laodicean Church Age and you will know if he is the real one sent from God or not. Yes you will, for if he is of God

HE WILL BE IN THAT WORD EXACTLY AS GOD GAVE IT TO PAUL.

HE WON'T DEVIATE FROM THAT WORD FOR A MOMENT, NOT BY ONE IOTA.

In that last age, when there will be many false prophets appearing, watch and see how they keep telling you

that if you don't believe them and what they say, you will be lost;

but when that LAST DAY PROPHET comes on the scene, if he is truly that prophet, he will be crying out,

"Get back to the Word or you are lost." He won't build on a private revelation or interpretation, but on the Word.

Ephesian Church Age Church Age Book Chapter 3

From the Message quotes, we learned about baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are now able to prove that doctrine from Scripture without referring to the quotes.

We use the quotes to understand the Bible.

The quotes are not supposed to replace the Bible.

Can you prove your Thunders doctrine from Scripture without referring to any quotes?

We are waiting for the harvest. The seed that is reaped in the seventh church age is identical to the seed that was planted in the first church age.

If the first church never preached a thunders doctrine, we must not either. Otherwise, we are different from them.

We are not supposed to be better or cleverer than them. We are supposed to be turned back to them, and thus believe exactly what they believed.

We must not be different from them. We will know more details but we must have the same basic beliefs.

Explain the one thunder that uttered in Revelation 6

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were

the noise of thunder,

one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

Revelation 6 : 1

So there was one thunder when the first Seal opened in Heaven.

What was this Thunder? When does it utter?

Is it linked to the 7 Thunders of Revelation Chapter 10?

What happens is that those seven thunders that he heard thunder and was forbidden to write, that's what

the mystery is laying behind those seven consecutive thunders rolling out.

... Now, why? Let us prove it. Why?

It is the secret that no one knows about. ...

"The Seventh Seal"    24 March 1963

There are seven consecutive Thunders in Revelation 10.

They hold a secret that no one knows about.

Then there is another single Thunder in Revelation 6: 1 when the first Seal opened in Heaven. What is this Thunder?

What do we know about this single Thunder?

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.

"I have Heard but now I See"    27 November 1965

This is November 1965, one month before he died.

He was still waiting for this single Thunder to utter. So it did not involve any event in his life.

And the Seals cannot open until this one Thunder has uttered.

He also places the shout, the message, into the future.

The shout was not William Branham preaching the truth from the King James Bible. The shout is when the Bride is able to understand the truth for themselves and prove what they believe just from the Scriptures.

Long after he revealed the first Six Seals 0f Revelation Chapter 6, he speaks of

a single thunder that is still in the future.

A single clap of thunder that is linked to the resurrection.

The seventh Seal never opened. It is a total mystery.

64-0719   THE  FEAST  OF  THE  TRUMPETS

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

In the last month of his life he refers again to this future blast from Heaven.

One day, there will come a blast from Heaven,

"And the dead in Christ shall rise first."

"The Rapture"   04 December 1965

Twice in one week, just before he died, he refers to this single mysterious thunder that is still to come.

December is the month that he died. He was still looking forward to that single thunder that would announce the resurrection.

God, help our unbelief. Take it away from us, Lord. We want to receive rapturing grace.

We want to be able when that mysterious thunder thunders out yonder, and the Church is taken up,

we want to be ready to receive it, Lord.

"The Second Seal"   19 March 1963

One thunder sometime in the future when the church is taken up. We have no real understanding of what this thunder means. But it obviously will happen so we must keep looking forward to that great mysterious event.

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.

And then he finishes; seven thunders utter out.

John started to write. He said, "Don't write it, but seal it."

And the first seal was opened of the Seals on the inside of the Book;

it opened with a thunder.

"Is this the Sign of the End, Sir?"   30 December 1962

So, one day in the future, there will be an unexpected blast of Thunder. We must expect the unexpected.

When? When we are not expecting it. The wise virgins (message churches) are also fast asleep.

MATTHEW 25:5  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;

go ye out to meet him.

In the end, all the church people and message people are fast asleep in their churches and will have to go out of their churches if they want to meet the Lord.

A Revelation of the 7 Seals is not the actual Opening

The single Thunder is linked to the opening of the First Seal.

Think carefully.

The front cover of the Seals book says "The Revelation of the Seven Seals".

The cover does not say the "Opening" of the Seven Seals.

 

Now, watch this now.

"If God does not do nothing," said Amos, "until first He reveals it to His servants the prophets,"

and then we see what He's doing, it must be

that He's fixing to do something, what He's revealing now.

God is fixing to move on the scene in judgment; I believe. He's fixing to do something. And one thing again that testifies: surely we are in the last day; we're at the end of the age, the Laodicea Church Age. Now, for these things were to be revealed only at the last day.

"The Second Seal"   19 March 1963

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

Do not confuse the revelation of the opening of the Seals with the actual opening which happens in Revelation Chapter 6 which is after the church gets caught up to Heaven in Revelation Chapter 4.

If brother Branham opened the Seven Seals that the apostle John wrote, then some prophet between John and brother Branham had to reveal what the Seven Seals were about.

But nobody ever did that. The Seven Seals were a total mystery until brother Branham began to reveal them in 1963.

 

1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said,

Come up hither,

and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

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

Revelation 4 : 1-2

Then we find out here,

after these things,

he heard a voice was speaking to him, that... What was it?

The Spirit left the earth. "After these things,"

starts out the 1st verse ( of chapter 4 ). After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:... Revelation 4:1,

after the church is gone,

then a Door was opened. And we've went through all of that and found that that was Christ was the Door. And the same voice that was walking in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks also was the same voice he heard in heaven, saying,

"Come up hither." John went up. It represented the church going in the rapture.

"Revelation, Chapter four", part 3.    08 January 1961

 After these things,

after he had seen the church age.

... After he had seen all the church ages go through

... The church age was through, showed His Spirit was finished here.

... "I'll show you what's going to be after this, after the church ages"

... John being taken up immediately after the church age was a type of the raptured church.

Immediately after the church age is over, this Laodicean church age, then comes the rapture. The church goes up like John did into the presence of God.

"Revelation Chapter four", part 1     31 December 1960

 The first three chapters of the Book of Revelations reveals all the happenings unto the Church. Then, from the 3rd chapter unto the 19th chapter of Revelation, there is no more seen of the Church.

The Church goes up at the 4th chapter of Revelations,

and returns back at the 19th chapter of Revelations,

"The Feast of the Trumpets"    19 July 1964

Revelation 5 happens AFTER the rapture in Chapter 4

 Now, let's get back to the verse: And behold, a throne was set in heaven... (2nd verse)... and one set on it. Note, "the throne," He set on the throne.

He wasn't no more back down in the candlesticks now, on earth. The rapture had done come.

He was in glory, setting on His throne. I want you to notice on down, we'll find even in the 5th chapter; it was not the throne of mercy. It wasn't a throne of mercy any more; it was the throne of judgment. It wasn't a throne of grace. It's a throne of judgment because fire and lightning and thunders issued forth from it; no more;

mercy's over, the church age was finished.

"He that's filthy is filthy still; he that's righteous is righteous still; he that's holy is holy still," no more a throne of mercy.

"Revelation Chapter four", part 1    Saturday 31 December 1960

Now, now, we're going to turn to the 5th chapter. Now, this is not the Seven Seals. It is the "Breach Between the Church Ages and the Seven Seals." Now, there was a 4th chapter of Revelation, and in that

it kind of revealed something that would take place after the Church going up:

that the Church goes up on the 3rd chapter of Revelations and does not return until the 19th chapter of Revelations.

"The Breach between the 7 Church Ages and the 7 Seals"    17 March 1963

But when John looked he saw only "ONE" upon the throne. And it was not until

Revelation 5:6-8 (which follows Revelation 4:2-3 in sequence of time)

that we see the "Lamb" taking the book from "HIM" That sat on the throne

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ", The Church Age Book Chapter 1

If the Church Ages happen during chapters 2 and 3, then the church is caught up in chapter 4 at the end of the Church Ages.

Thus chapter 5, when the Lamb takes the Book, only happens after the church is caught up to heaven.

Then the seven Seals open after that in chapter 6.

The actual events in chapter 5 and chapter 6 occur in Heaven.

6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and

hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Revelation 5 : 6-10

In Revelations verse 5 to 9,

who are these found singing when the Lamb takes the Book out of the--

are these the raptured saints?
No,

Revelations 6... 5 and 9, rather, no. If you notice, these are not the saints. He has never claimed His property yet. See? This is not the saints. If you notice, they're the elders and the beast, and they sing.

There's something wrong.

There's something wrong. Now, that's just all there is to it. There's--there's something's happened. See? There's something that went wrong somewhere. Everybody feeling all right? There's no sickness or nothing?

[A man in the congregation requests that Brother Branham read Revelation 5:9 again--Ed.]

And when he had... the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of the saints.

And they sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seal thereof: for thou has--wast slain,... (And here it is. Here it is.

I was wrong on that.

See?)... thou has redeemed us to God by the blood of every kindred,...

That's right.

Now, what do you think about that? Oh, if the Presence of the Holy Ghost isn't here, what is? He wouldn't let... See, I only read the first part of that verse. See, it's just---or something wrote here, and I was trying to get through, looking at that clock. But you see Him stop me on that? Glory. I never read the other part of that. See, I got here: "and..." Look here. "And they sang a new song," and I stopped. See? But look here, "the song they sang, saying, You have redeemed us out of every kindred, tongue, and nation."

Sure, that's them.

My, oh, my, oh, my. See it?

...and I got something yet this afternoon I've got to find from God. But He was so determined that I wouldn't make that error that He called me back to read the rest of that verse.

It just felt like something just rolled over me there and said, "Go back; go back." And I thought, "Go back, what? Stop right now and start praying for the sick? What is it? What have I done?" And just as I started to reach for that, somebody said, "Read the verse over again." I read it over, and there at the bottom of this question, there it was Revelations 6. See, I read the first; it does sound like it at the first, "And they sang a new song..." But down here, see what it was? the next, coming on down, "has redeemed us."

Sure it was the Bride, the raptured saints.

Could you... And here... Certainly, the Lamb had the Book in His hand. He'd done left the Throne of mediatorial grace. See?

"Questions and Answers on the Seals"   24 March 1963

A rare event. God corrected him while he was preaching. Thus this point is very important.

Please note -

it is the bride who sings around the throne in Revelation Chapter 5 that they have been redeemed from every nation and tongue.

Brother Branham first said that it was not the Bride. Then God corrected him and he realized that in Revelation Chapter 5 it is the raptured Bride around the throne, just before the Seven Seals open in Chapter 6.

The actual opening of the Seals only happens in the next Chapter, which is after the Bride has been caught up to heaven. Then the Seals actually open in Chapter 6.

So when do the Seals actually open?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 When you are in heaven and standing around the throne after being caught up after the resurrection.

These Trumpets are let loose on the Jews, (don't you see?) not on the Gentiles.

The Gentile, when them Seals was opened, is sealed away; time is ended;

the Church is called.

"The Feast of the Trumpets"   19 July 1964

Brother Branham went beyond the curtain of time and came back with a preview to reveal what happens when these Seals will open in the future.

Thus we have a revelation (of the opening) of the seven Seals.

By revelation, we have seen the opening in advance.

You can read that on the cover of the seven Seals book.

The cover says "The Revelation of the Seven Seals".

Amos 3: 7 says that God will do nothing until He first reveals it to His servants the prophets.

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

Amos 3 : 7

God will not do something until He first reveals what He is going to do.

God cannot open the Seven Seals until He first gives us a revelation of the opening of the Seven Seals.

The Seals have to be opened by revelation, which basically gives us a preview of this future event, before they actually open in reality. God wants to see if you agree with His thinking. If you do not like what God reveals then He will not invite you to be at the opening of the Seven Seals.

If brother Branham actually opened the Seals, then when were they revealed before he opened them?

The Seventh Seal never opened because Jesus never came

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

"The Feast of the Trumpets"   19 July 1964

But in many places brother Branham says that the Seals have opened.

Be careful how you interpret that.

If you have a revelation of the opening then you have seen the opening in advance.

We have a revelation of the opening of the seven Seals.

He went beyond the curtain of time and saw the opening of the Seven Seals in the future and then came back to reveal what will happen in the future when the Seals do open.

Thus we know what we will see when the 7 Seals do finally open.

The revelation of the opening of the seventh Seal is that it opened to reveal that it is the hidden mystery of Christ's Second Coming. No one knows this mystery.

Now, there was some reason that God let this seven voices be thundered, because it must come (See?), for the... We find that Christ, the Lamb took the Book in His hand, and

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

But right along with what He said: no one would know His coming;

they also would not know about this seven thunder mystery.

So you see, it's connected together.

"The Seventh Seal"    24 March 1963

So we do not know this Seventh Seal. It opened to reveal that it is a complete mystery. So, essentially, it has not opened in terms of telling us all the details that are involved.

Now, the Angel was to my left, would really be the last, or seventh Angel, if we would count them from left to right, because he was on my left, me looking to him towards the west, him coming towards the east would be on the left side, so that would be the last angel's message: very notable. You remember how I said he had his--kind of his head back, and his great sharp wings, and how he flew right to me.

Now, that is this Seventh Seal.

It's still is a notable thing. And we are...

We don't know what it is as yet, because it's not permitted to be broken.

"The Seventh Seal"    24 March 1963

 The Lamb took His Book when, the Seventh Seal just ready for it to be opened, the Sixth Seal. Remember,

He hid the Seventh Seal from US.

He wouldn't do it. When the Angel stood, day by day, telling it, but then He wouldn't do it on that one. Said, "There is silence in Heaven." No one knew. It was the Coming of the Lord.

"Souls that are in Prison"    10 November 1963

 But, remember, all this time, Noah was in the ark. The Bride is sealed in with Christ, the last member has been redeemed. The Sixth Seal has produced itself.

The Seventh Seal brings Him back to earth.

"Souls that are in Prison Now"   10 November 1963

The Seventh Seal was preached on Sunday night 24 March 1963.

But then he continued on Monday morning  25 March to add a few more comments in order to complete the Seventh Seal.

Some believers claim that the seventh seal being preached was the coming of the Lord.

But the seventh Seal was preached over two days, Sunday night and Monday morning. It never happened on one day.

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

"The Feast of the Trumpets"    19 July 1964

The Seventh Seal has not opened, so how could He have come?

That's the reason all heaven was silent.

63-0324   THE  SEVENTH  SEAL
Now, I'd better stop right here.  I just feel checked not to say no more about it.  So just remember,

the Seventh Seal, the reason it was not opened,

the reason It did not reveal it,

no one should know about it.

Some claim that the Cloud was the coming of the Lord, but that was the 28 February 1963.

So which date is the coming of the Lord? The Cloud date of 28 February 1963 or the preaching of the seventh Seal date on 24 March 1963? Or the completion of the Seventh Seal on 25 March 1963? conflicting dates because people think the Lord had come but cannot tell us exactly when.

The hunting season only opened on 1st March. Brother Branham preached at Houston on 4th March. Then he left to go hunting. The 7 angels visited him at Sunset Peak on 8 March.  So brother Branham was not present at Sunset mountain when the Cloud was photographed 200 miles north near the city of Flagstaff 28 February 1963. The Cloud was never photographed lower than 27 miles up in the sky. So it could not have been Jesus returning to earth.

The Cloud was never seen at Sunset Peak.

The cloud was seen near Flagstaff 8 days before the 7 angels came to see brother Branham at Sunset Peak on 8 March 1963. The 7 angels formed no cloud on that day.

Also, the Parusia-believers take the coming of the Lord to be the Pillar of Fire that appeared above the Ohio River in 1933 when brother Branham was baptizing.

The photograph of the Pillar of Fire that formed a halo over Brother Branham's head that was photographed in Houston in 1950 would then also qualify as a coming of the Lord.

So all these conflicting dates suggest that linking the coming of the Lord to some past event is rather pointless.

God will not reveal the great mystery of Christ's coming until the last minute.

If you believe that all the Seals have already opened, look at the problems you will have with the sixth Seal.

It's Moses and Elijah,

'cause there's their ministry reimpersonated again: both men. Oh, my. Do you see it now? See what the Sixth Seal is? It's those prophets.

Now, notice. Don't let it choke you, but watch what opened that Seal: prophets. See? Amen. There you are. Oh, we're living in the eagle day, brother, head up among the clouds.

They opened that Sixth Seal.

They have power to do it. Amen. There's your Sixth Seal coming open. See?

"The Sixth Seal"    23 March 1963

The two Jewish prophets open up the sixth Seal in the Tribulation.

Thus the sixth Seal has not actually opened yet. We only have a revelation of it opening but many of the events are still unknown like the 7 Trumpets and the 7 Vials.

When the sixth Seal opens it will cause a violent disruption of nature.

 ... and have power over the waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with plagues as oft as they will.

What is it? What can bring these things but the Word? They can do nature anyway they want to. Here it is. They're the one who brings on this Sixth Seal. They uncover and open it up. It's the power of God to interrupt nature.

See, the Sixth Seal, is completely an interruption of nature.

Do you get it now? There's your Seal.

Who does it? It's the prophets the other side of the rapture.

With the power of God, the Word of God, they just condemn nature. They can send earthquakes, turn the moon into blood, the sun can go down or anything at their command. Amen.

"The Sixth Seal"   23 March 1963

The Sixth Seal will only happen after the rapture. Not before, because the Sixth Seal describes the 3.5 years of great Tribulation.

Two Jewish prophets will open the Sixth Seal of great Tribulation and bring it to pass. They will know all the details.

We Gentiles simply only have a partial revelation of the Sixth Seal. We know that the Sixth Seal refers to the Jews in great Tribulation. But we do not really know the details of great Tribulation.

We do not understand the seven Vials and the seven Trumpets.

We do not know who the final antichrist Pope is, who is called Death on the pale horse in the fourth Seal. We do not know who the two billion people (out of today's 8 billion people) are that he murders. Life leaves planet earth when the Holy Ghost catches the Bride up to meet the Lord in the air. Only when Life leaves, can Death enter.

REVELATION 6:8   And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over

the fourth part of the earth, to kill

with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

It's time for the Sixth Seal, pretty soon, to be opening up,

and when she does, oh, my. The end...

The Bride has done gone forth.

She's done... The Queen's done went to take her place.

She's being married now to the King, while this was going on.

And Israel's remnant is sealed and ready to go, and then nature lets go. Oh, what a time.

"The Sixth Seal"   23 March 1963

The Sixth Seal opens when the Bride is being married in heaven.

He is revealing the Sixth Seal and says it will open up pretty soon.

Sometime in the future.

The Sixth Seal is Great Tribulation. A terrible time that we cannot really imagine nor understand at this stage.

 

Now, the 8th chapter only reveals the scene of the Seventh Seal

where nothing else is revealed. Now, nothing is not revealed in the Seventh Seal. Now, has nothing to do with the 7th chapter of Revelation.

It's the revealing of the Seventh Seal is perfectly mute.

And if I only had time (I'll try a few places.) to show you all the way back from Genesis this 7th chapter--this Seventh Seal is spoke of. From the very beginning in Genesis, this seventh--these Seals moved right up.

Couldn't you remember this morning bringing these things up? And watch tonight bringing them up, and you find out when it gets to that Seventh Seal, she cuts off.

Jesus Christ, is speaking Himself, told of the end time and when

He told all six Seals; when He got to Seventh, He stopped.

There it is. See? It's a great thing.

"The Seventh Seal"    24 March 1963

Six Seals were revealed by telling us what their symbols refer to.

But there are no symbols in the Seventh Seal. So, we have no revelation of the Seventh Seal.

Thus the seventh Seal cannot have opened yet.

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

Do you believe we're living in the last days when the Son of man was to be manifested? That would be all the Word that's gathered up through Luther, Wesley, Baptist, and all that, and the Pentecostal, all gathered up to the revelation of what it's all been.

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

It's all to be gathered up in the Son of man, His fullness of time has come to the fullness of His Word, to manifest the fullness of His Body. That's the Word, then, that's the spoken Word made manifest by the Word, reveal the Word.

"Proving His Word" 16 August 1964

Here brother Branham confirms that his ministry was to reveal the six written Seals, not the unwritten Seventh Seal. That is why he calls it a "six-Seal" mystery.

There is no mountain under the Cloud.

Thus this Cloud was never photographed at Sunset Peak.

Great signs in the heaven above, Angels coming in constellation!

And scientists looking off at it, predicted months before it happened. There it was. There it's in the magazine. Told months before it happened!

Seven angels come down, and said, "The complete revelation of the six-seal mystery of God would be unfolded."

And there it was just exactly like He said, predicted before it happened.

"Influence"    03 August 1963

The seven angels first formed a supernatural cloud as a sign near Flagstaff, after sunset on 28 February 1963, that the Seven Seals were to be revealed.

Eight days later the same 7 angels came down on 8 March 1963 at Sunset Peak at 8 o'clock in the morning to commission brother Branham to reveal the Seven Seals.

Then came the actual event as he revealed the first six Seals

between 17 - 23 March 1963.

The Seventh Seal was revealed to be a total mystery,

the Coming of the Lord, on 24 - 25 March 1963.

Three events. The sign, the commission, and then the event which was the revealing of the first six Seals.

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, such a... right close. And I seen then what it was. Well, as soon as...

I got my commission,

and the Scripture, "The Seven Seals which is the seven mysteries." See?

After that, the rest of the written mysteries (except for the 7 Vials and the 7 Trumpets that are great Tribulation events) would also open up and be revealed.

63-0318 THE  FIRST  SEAL
Takes the Book of Seals and breaks them and shows the seventh angel,

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

Now, we just come through the church ages with even history and prove that. See? It is the--the angel's message of the seventh church.
All right, reveals all the mysteries that's been in the past, all the things in the past:

Revelations 10:1-7. That's to be.

Here he places Revelation 10:1 - 7 into the future.

The "message" or "shout" is not when brother Branham got the revelation of the truth so that he could prove his doctrines from Scripture.  The "message" or "shout" is when all the individual Bride members are able to learn from his quotes how to understand the Bible and thus read it as an open Book. That will bring the Angel down, when the Bride individuals have become Scriptural and can prove all their beliefs just from Scriptures.

 

The Cloud was photographed by a very professional scientist who could not explain it because it was too high where there is insufficient water vapour to form a cloud.

What baffled Dr. James McDonald was that there were two clouds, one big and one smaller cloud about 20 miles behind it. The smaller cloud he could explain as the smoke cloud caused by a huge rocket explosion that occurred at a height of about 42 kilometers above Vandenberg Airforce base, on the Pacific coast, about 4 hours earlier.

But the bigger cloud was a mystery.

These are the two clouds, as seen from Winslow. They appeared briefly slightly north of Flagstaff for 28 minutes, just after sunset on 28 February, 1963 as they moved from Flagstaff towards Winslow. At that time brother Branham was 200 miles away in Tucson.

Brother Branham refers to this Cloud as a SIGN in the heaven above.

Not the coming of the Lord, but the sign of the Son of man in the heaven.

Jesus was not coming down as a Man nor was He coming down as the mighty Angel of Revelation Chapter 10.

Jesus was coming down as the revealed Word of God to guide us into all truth

so that we can understand the Bible.

Jesus is the King Who wants to be worshiped in Bible Truth.

Satan's main objective is to get us to worship God in an unscriptural way.

As long as we are different from the Bible in some way, then Satan is happy. So Jesus comes back looking for Bible faith Luke 18:8.

LUKE 18:8   ... Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

You must not mistake a sign of an event for the actual event.

65-0718  TRYING  TO  DO  GOD  A  SERVICE  WITHOUT  BEING  THE  WILL  OF  GOD
And then in that great observatory, so that the world will be without, they're still wondering what happened.

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."

Do not make the big mistake of thinking that the seventh angel is the Son of man just because he does the revealing of the Son of man.

65-0725  THE  ANOINTED  ONES  AT  THE  END  TIME

"In the very day that

the Son of man is revealed." Revelations 10:1 to 7,

read it when you get home, "the seventh angel's Message, opening up the Seals." What is it?

Not the angel is the Son of man;

but the messenger is revealing the Son of man. Can you get it separated now?

That's where it seems to be so hard for you, you see.

Not the Son of man, Himself;

but the seventh angel, the seventh messenger, is revealing to the public the Son of man, because It's left the shuck. He can't organize It. It's the Grain, Itself, again. 

64-0830   QUESTIONS  AND  ANSWERS.3

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

THE SIXTH SEAL   23 March 1963

Now, we... I want you to read with me as you do. Compare Scriptures of this great event that we will see that this great secret or mystery that was under the Sixth Seal of the Book of Redemption.

Now, remember, these are hidden mysteries. And the Sixth Seals altogether is one great big book,

just six scrolls rolled together; and it unwinds the whole Book of Redemption.

That's how the whole earth was redeemed.

The whole Book of Redemption is revealed by the six written Seals.

We are saved by what is written in the Word.

Brother Branham had to reveal the written mysteries to prepare us for the Coming of the Lord.

Will revealing the mystery of the six written Seals be enough?

Pentecost feast finishes at the period of the Seventh Trumpet, for the next is the Coming of... The Seventh Seal, for the next is the mystery of the Coming of Christ, and, also, the Trumpet is sound for the Jews. Their Sixth Trumpet is sound, and, when it does, it makes known to them the revealed Son of God; one-half hour of space. Remember, all Trumpets sound on this Sixth Seal.

The Sixth Seal finishes the mystery,

under the Sixth Seal, just before the Seventh is opened.

"The Feast of the Trumpets"   19 July 1964

Revealing the six Seals is enough to finish the mystery of the written Word.

The unwritten Seventh Seal must be left to God. He alone can bring it to pass.

 

Answer to Question 4.   No Thunders were uttered during the ministry of the prophet.

(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 complete... Now, He didn't say on the front side; He said on the backside. After it's all done completed, then these seven thunder voices is the only thing

that is stuck to the Book,

that's not revealed.

It's not even written in the Book.

... These seals are on the backside of the book, and

at the time that the seventh angel is sounding, ALL the mysteries that are WRITTEN in the Book is completed.

"Is this the Sign of the End, Sir?"    30 December 1962

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

His ministry was not for the mysteries that were on the backside of the Book. Some mysteries are written in the Book. Some mysteries are not written in the Book. These mysteries are somehow hidden away in the Book without a specific symbol or image that we can interpret

There are at least four of these unwritten mysteries:

These mysteries were not part of Brother Branham's ministry.

We will discuss each of these points later in this study.

Nor was his ministry concerned with the mysteries that pertain to the Jews in the Tribulation, such as the seven Vials and the seven Trumpets.

Now, The Feast Of The Trumpets.

Now, this was a gathering of Israel, where they gathered together, the feast of the trumpets.

Now, I have been anticipating for sometime to speak on the subject of the Seven Trumpets in the Book of Revelations. And now we are going to review this, just a moment, to bring out the real cause of me not speaking this time, because

the Holy Spirit would not let me speak at this time on these things.

I know that sounds very juvenile, maybe, to people of great learning and understanding, but to the Christian it's different. We follow the leading of the Spirit, that alone.

"The Feast of the Trumpets"    19 July 1964

Then when I come to this part here, of preaching the Seven Trumpets, I was thought, "Well, I'll not try to think anything. I'll just wait till that time and let Him reveal it to me." And then yesterday when I went into the room and wondering why... Or, beg your pardon, it was day before yesterday. When I went into the room, to try to understand, it was there that the Holy Spirit opened up this,

to show me the reason it not profitable even for the Church at this time, 'cause it has nothing to do with the Church, at all.

"The Feast of the Trumpets"    19 July 1964

He tried to preach the "Feast of the Trumpets" but God told him that those mysteries were not meant for the Gentile church. They refer to the Jewish remnant in the 3.5 years of great Tribulation. Thus he could not hold a week-long session on the seven Trumpets although he had done that for the seven Church Ages and then again for the Seven Seals because those mysteries affect the Gentile Bride.

If you think you know all the mysteries, tackle the 2300 days of Daniel's prophecy. That is a difficult puzzle. Also his prophecies of 1290 days and the 1335 days.

Brother Branham explained all the mysteries that enable the Bride to get ready for the catching away of the church to escape the Tribulation.

Thus

the mysteries of great Tribulation time are not applicable to the Bride

because she will miss the Tribulation.

... the seventh angel, when he sounds, all the mysteries of God should be finished up by his sounding. Then AFTER it's revealed, the Angel come down from heaven, which was Christ (Now remember, this angel and is on earth, a messenger). Down comes Christ (You see Him in the 10th chapter of Revelations.), puts one foot upon the land and the other one on the sea, rainbow over His head, eyes, and feet like fire and so forth, raises up His hand and swears by Him that lives forever and ever on the throne,

that time shall be no more.

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

And then goes on and said,

in the day just BEFORE these seven thunders, all the mysteries here are revealed.

"The Third Seal"    20 March 1963

The Angel descends after the mysteries are revealed.

Just before the seven Thunders, the mysteries are revealed.

The Cloud appeared high above Flagstaff city, not above Sunset mountain.

The Cloud appeared more than two weeks before the Seven Seals were revealed.

So the Cloud is not the Angel.

There were two clouds as seen from Winslow

This photo is shown for the second time to remind you that the fact that there were two clouds, is the real reason why Dr. James McDonald described the large cloud as being a mystery cloud. One rocket explosion only explained one cloud, not two. There is no single natural explanation for both clouds. Thus one cloud has to be supernatural.

The smaller smoke cloud formed when a rocket exploded in California earlier in the afternoon. The smoke cloud from the explosion followed the supernatural Cloud that was formed by 7 angels. The smoke cloud was about 20 kilometers behind when the two clouds went past Flagstaff. The main supernatural Cloud was only visible for 28 minutes after sunset.

At that height the smoke cloud is invisible against the glare of the blue sky in daylight because the smoke particles are too far apart. When the sun set the smoke briefly reflected the sunlight against the dark sky.

The following picture is not a photograph.

 

The supernatural Cloud, formed by seven angels, never came below the 27 mile-high mark.

Brother Branham was not in Flagstaff nor Sunset Peak on 28th February and thus he did not see the Cloud, because the hunting season only opened the next day on 1st March. There is also a sermon, A Absolute, that he preached in Houston on 4th March. Only after that did he go hunting on 6 March at Sunset Peak.

Saint Peter predicted the future appearance of a high-altitude smoke cloud made from smoke vapour. Just like rain clouds are made from water vapour.

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

This was the smoke cloud.

There is no water vapour up at that great height. About 99% of the water vapour in the air is below the 20-kilometers height.

The two clouds were at about 42-kilometers height.

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

This was the bigger supernatural Cloud that was formed by angel's wings.

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

"The Fourth Seal"  21 March 1963

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.

"Is this the Sign of the End, Sir?"   30 December 1962

 

But we find out then that in the Book of the Revelation at the seventh angel's message, the mysteries,

all the mysteries of it, should already be revealed by that time

(Now that's Revelations 10:1-7.), that it should be revealed according to that time--at that time when He did.

THEN the seven thunders utter their strange voices,

and John was going to write... It was... John knew what it was, but he didn't write it, 'cause he was forbidden to write it.

That's absolutely and altogether a mystery.

It's not even in symbol or nothing.

We just know it thundered; that's all.

"The Fourth Seal"    21 March 1963

 

 ...and then we got over in the Bible and showed that there would be a seventh angel's Message. And at the sounding of the seventh angel's Message,

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

"Standing in the Gap"    23 June 1963

 

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.” — 1 Corinthians 16:23
