What is known about the 7 Thunders? Not much. Part 2

And then AFTER these Seven Seals are completed,

we find in Revelations 10

there was seven mysterious thunders

that John was commissioned to write but then forbidden to write those. And

at the time of those thunders, we find Christ, or the Angel come down with a rainbow, and put His feet on the land and sea

and swore that time had run out at that time.

 The other angels was messengers, men of the earth. But this Angel... But this One didn't come from the earth;

He come down from heaven, BECAUSE the mystery's all finished.

And when the mystery's finished,

the Angel said, "Time shall be no more,"

and seven thunders throwed their voices out.

 But, remember, if it goes plumb into the shadows of death, "I am the resurrection and Life; I'll raise him up again." And when the great Director comes down and beats that stick down, then, "time shall be no more.

" When that Angel, of Revelation the 10th chapter, puts one foot on land and one on the sea, and a rainbow over His head, He swore, "time shall be no more."

When that time comes,

you'll rise up from among the dead.

While the rest of them lay there, you'll go in.

Notice, Revelations 5:1. Listen at this now. And I saw in the right hand of him that set upon the throne

a book written within... (The writing was with inside.)

and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

Now, there's writing on the inside of the Book, but the backside had

seven seals on the back of it that wasn't written in the Book.

Now, this is the revelator talking: John. Now, remember, it wasn't written in the Book. "And

in the days of the voice of the seventh angel all this mystery that's WRITTEN WITHIN should be finished."

It should be taken care of in that day. Now, do you see what I mean? Are you following me?

THEN is the time for the seven voices of Revelations 10 to be revealed.

When the Book is finished, there's only one thing left, and that is the seven mysterious voices of thunder that was wrote on the backside of the Book that John was forbidden to write.

The Bible said here that that would be

one of the mysteries that would be unfolded.

Protestants, prostitutes committing spiritual fornications, leading people by denominations with their cup of iniquity of man-made doctrine, and pulling them away from the fountain filled with Blood, where the power of Almighty God flows freely to manifest Jesus Christ.

If that's true, then God will back it up; and He has done it; and He will continue.

But when that comes to pass, the Word is finished.

Now, there's only one thing left. That is the seven thunders that we don't know;

and it would not have thundered in vain. God don't do something just to be playing. We play and act silly, but not God. Everything with God is "yea and nay." He doesn't just fool. He doesn't kid. He means what He says, and He says nothing 'less there's something meaning

We're told, in Revelation 10, that there'll be a messenger in the last day, will gather up these little ends and will bring them together.

And then the mystery of God would be finished, at the sounding of this angel,

which was a messenger of the earth.

THEN One came down from Heaven,

with His hands up, rainbow over His head, and swore that there would be time no more; an Angel taking an oath. And when we see this thing is materializing, oh, how sincere we should be.

Now, someone said, "Well, that Seven Seals, then, Brother Branham, that will be revealed in the last days, some great mystery how we get closer to God?" No, sir, it can't be.

"Whosoever shall take one Word from this Bible, or add one word to It, his part will be taken, the Book of Life." What it is is a revelation on what has been missed back there, to bring. It's already wrote Here. It's in Here. It's to reveal what already has been written.

See? Cause, you can't add one thing to It, or take one Word from It.

We see time closing in.

Soon we're looking for the Angel

that will set His foot on the land and on the sea, and raise up His hand and swear by Him that lives forever and ever, time shall be no more.

Said at that time the mystery of God should be finished.

We understand now, Father, that God's threefold mystery has been made known to us. 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.

Now, when he begins to sound,

the mystery will be finished. Now, note.

THEN it's time for the seven-sealed voices of Revelations 10 to be revealed.

Do you understand?

When all the mysteries of the Book is completed,

and the Bible said here that he would finish the mysteries...

I don't know. Is it time?

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 He's 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 the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up together with those that is asleep to meet the Lord in the air.

And here He returns back in the 10th chapter

after the coming time, that all the mysteries is to be finished,

and the Seals are to be broke, and proclaiming that its time is no more. And he said, "When the seventh angel has begin to sound, then

the mysteries should be finished and time for the Angel to appear.

We're close,

somewhere. That's right.

 We're going towards a dark chamber, a chamber of death. Everyone enters that chamber. And every time our heart beats, we go one step closer. Someday, I shall enter that chamber. And when I get down to the last heart beat, I do not want to go in there as a coward; I want to wrap myself in His righteousness; pull it up around me and enter that chamber, to know Him in the power of His resurrection. And when they...

The Angel screams forth, the Voice, the trumpet sounds, I want to come out from among the dead.

We've all got a victory. We've fought through many victories. And a great victory is coming just soon, right around the corner. Our complete V-day will be

soon, when the Son of God shall break the skies, and scream with the Voice of the Archangel, and He shall come again. And the graves shall open, and the dead shall walk out.

Three things happens. A voice... A shout, a voice, a trumpet, has to happen before Jesus appears. Now, a shout... Jesus does all three of them when He's descending.

A shout,

what is the shout? It's the Message going forth,

first, the living Bread of Life bringing forth the Bride.

The first thing comes, when He starts descending from the Heaven, there's a shout. What is it? Is a Message, to get the people together

Now, it's the first thing, is the sounding. The first thing is a trumpet or a voice... A shout; and then a voice; and then a trumpet.

Shout: a messenger getting the people ready.

The second is a voice of the resurrection:

the same voice, that, a loud voice in Saint John 11:38-44, that called Lazarus from the grave.

Getting the Bride together; and then the resurrection of the dead,

see; to be caught up with It. Now watch the three things takes place. The next is what? Was a trumpet. A voice... A shout; a voice; a trumpet.

Now, the third thing, is a trumpet. Which, always, at the feast of trumpets, is calling the people to the feast. And that'll be the Bride's Supper, the Lamb's Supper with the Bride, in the sky. See?

The first thing comes forth is His Message, calling the Bride together. The next thing is a resurrection of the sleeping Bride; the ones died, back in the other ages, they're caught together. And the trumpet, the Feast in the heavens, in the sky. Why, that's the thing that takes place, friends.

 It was in the end-time period that the seven thunders of Jesus came forth. Revelation 10:3-4, "And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

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 was in those thunders no one knows. But we need to know. And it will take a prophet to get the revelation

because God has no other way of bringing out His Scriptural revelations except by a prophet. The Word always came by a prophet and always will.

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

No, they were revealed in the seven Seals; that's what the thunders was about.

They was to reveal... The seven thunders that

had uttered their voices and no one could make out what it was...

John knew what it was, but he was forbidden to write it. He said, "But the seventh angel, in the days of his sounding,

the seven mysteries of the seven thunders would be revealed."

And the seventh angel is a messenger of the seventh church age. See?

This seven-sealed Book is revealed at the time of the Seven Thunders of Revelations 10.

Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. Now, that's what we don't know. That's yet to be revealed;

it's not in Holy Script, what them thunders say.

It is sealed up with Seven Seals.

Now, that's a different from the Seven Thunders.

The Book that is written within is then completed, when this--all these mysteries have finished to be sounded.

Now, let me read it again, so you will be sure. Now, look.

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,... (the last angel)... when he shall begin to sound,

the mystery of God should be finished...

Now, what is the mystery of God?

One of them Paul said in I Timothy 3, I believe it was, said, "Without controversy

great is the mystery of godliness... For God was manifested in the flesh."

We handled Him, seen Him, received up into glory. Witnessed by angels, vindicated here on earth. God was.

Sure, it's a great mystery, but it's all solved: not Father, Son and Holy Ghost, three Gods, but One God in three offices. The Fatherhood under Moses, the Sonship under Christ, the Holy Ghost under this dispensation: three dispensations of the same God, not three Gods.

The mystery's finished now.

The Bible said it should be.

The Book that is written within is then completed when this angel ceases.

Now, please understand this. When the seventh angel's message is completed, the godhead mystery, the serpent's seed mystery, all the other mysteries of all these things, eternal sonship, as they talk about. How can He be an eternal Son, when eternity never began or never ends? And a son is something that's begotten of. How can it make sense?

 Notice, the Book written...

When this angel finishes all these loose-end ministries that through the battle they fought, Luther fought, and Wesley fought, and the Pentecostals fought, but there's coming one, says the Bible, that in the days of his sounding,

all these mysteries...

The Oneness run off on Jesus' Name. The Trinity went off on Father, Son, Holy Ghost, just like they did at the Nicaea Council: same thing. They both was wrong. But now, in the middle of the road,

in the Scriptures lays out the truth.

Notice, Revelations 5:1. Listen at this now.

And I saw in the right hand of him that set upon the throne

a book written WITHIN... (The writing was with inside.)... and on the BACKSIDE, sealed with seven seals.

Now, there's writing on the inside of the Book, but the

backside had seven seals on the back of it that wasn't written in the Book.

Now, this is the revelator talking: John. Now, remember, it wasn't written in the Book. "And in the days of the voice of the seventh angel

all this mystery that's written within should be finished."

It should be taken care of in that day. Now, do you see what I mean? Are you following me?

THEN is the time for the seven voices of Revelations 10 to be revealed.

When the Book is finished, there's only one thing left, and that is the seven mysterious voices of thunder

that was wrote on the backside of the Book that John was forbidden to write.

And seven thunders right IN the revelation here of Jesus Christ,

is some mystery. Does not the Bible say that this is the revelation of Jesus Christ? Why, there's

some hidden mystery then of it. 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. Seal it up. Put it on the backside of the Book." It's got to be revealed. It's the mysteries.

Now, we solved out these things by the Holy Spirit. It's told us it wasn't apples; it was sexual. Told us these things... There's not no-one able to stand before it. I never seen a preacher in my life agreed with it. But I've asked them.

That's the way the church ages and Seals and all the rest of it.

And when anybody thinks that he has those seven thunders, if it don't compare with the rest of the Word, there's something wrong here.

"When will it be, Brother Branham?" I cannot tell you. I do not know.... ...One of the mystery of that Seal,

the reason it wasn't revealed, it was seven thunders

that uttered their voices, and there it is perfectly,

because nothing knows anything about it; wasn't even written.

So we're at the end time; we are here.

It is the secret that no one knows about.

John was forbidding to write about it, even, even write a symbol about it. Why? This is why there was no activity in heaven; it might give away the secret. Do you see it now? If it's so great it must be included, because it's got to happen, but when the seven thunders...

... Seven thunders in a row, uttered not... making just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, straight. Then heavens couldn't write that. Heavens can't know about it, nothing else, because there's nothing to go on. It's a relaxing time.

It was so great till it's kept secret from the Angels. Now, why?

If Satan should get ahold of it, he might do great damage.

There's one thing he don't know. Now, he can interpret anything he wants to, and impersonate any kind of a gift (I hope you're learning.), but he can't know this. It's not even written in the Word.

It's a total secret. The Angels, everything shut up.

If they made one move it might give something away, so they just shut up, quit harping; everything stopped.

Did you notice when the Jews asked Him that? You know when we compared the Scripture here with Matthew 24 with the six Seals,

the Seventh Seal was left out; because (You see?), Christ said only God Himself knowed,

not even the Angels. No wonder, it wasn't even written. You see, they hushed; nothing take place then. Angels don't know it;

Nobody knows when He's coming. But there'll be seven voices of these thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time.

So I believe, to us who... If we don't know it, and it won't be knowed till that time, but

it will be revealed in that day, in the hour that it's supposed to be revealed in.

So the thing for us to do is to be reverent before God and serve Him, and do all that we know how to do, and live good Christian lives.

Here now, we find that the Sixth Seal has been opened to us; we see it, and we know that

this Seventh Seal cannot be broke to the public until that hour arrives.

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.

It is the secret that no one knows about.

And now, if this tape would happen to fall into the hands of some persons somewhere,

don't try to make any kind of an "ism" out of it.

The only thing you do, you just continue serving God, because this great secret is so great that God wouldn't even let John write it.

It thundered out,

but He... knowing that... promising us that it would be opened,

but to this time, it isn't opened.

So just remember, the Seventh Seal, the reason it was not opened (See?), the reason It did not reveal it, no one should know about it....

You notice. Notice now, for the end-of-time message, this Seal. After all, He's

revealed all the six Seals, but it don't say nothing about the Seventh. And the end time Seal, when it starts, will be absolutely a total secret according to the Bible.

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.

That much we have a understanding of it today, because the rest of it is all unfolded, but this is not unfolded. But setting in my room, and I heard this--or

not heard it, rather, but seen it unfold to this seven thunders.

Now, that's as far as we can go right there. And now I trust that each and every one of you will serve God, and do that which is right, and love Him all your life and serve Him, and God will take care of the rest.

Now, what this great secret is that lays beneath this Seal, I do not know.

I don't know it. I couldn't make it out.

I couldn't tell it, just what it and just what it said.

But I know that it was them seven thunders uttering themselves right close together,

just banging seven different times,

and it unfolded into something else that I seen.

Then when I seen that,

I looked for the interpretation that flew across there, and I couldn't make it out.

That's exactly right, friend. See? The hour isn't quite yet for it, but it's moving into that cycle. See? It's coming up close. So the thing for you to do is to remember that I speak to you in the Name of the Lord: Be prepared, for

you don't know what time something can happen.

"This will be the third pull, and you won't tell it to nobody."

And in Sabino Canyon, He said, "This is the third pull." And

there's three great things that goes with it,

and one unfolded today, or yesterday, the other one unfolded today,

and there's one thing that I cannot interpret, because it's in an unknown language.

But I was standing right there and looked right straight at it, and this is the third pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God... Oh, my.

That's the reason all heaven was silent.

God's great mystery of how, it's a secret. He kept it a secret.

Nobody knowed nothing about it.

Even the Angels didn't understand it. See, He didn't reveal it. That's the reason, under our seventh mystery, when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence. Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said, "It's not... Even the Son Himself don't know when it's going to happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's a secret. And that's the reason there was silence in Heaven for a space of a half hour, and seven thunders utter their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it, see,

the Coming of the Lord. That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come. It's a good thing that He doesn't.

No.

I don't know

who's going to--

what's going to take place. I do not know. I just know that those seven thunders holds that mystery, that heavens was quieted.

Everybody understand?

But you notice, He omitted the revelation of this Seventh Seal.

And here when the Seventh Seal, when He opened it, He also omitted it again.

See? So we see

that it is a complete mystery, therefore, the hour is not yet for these mystery to be known,

therefore, we're this far and the rest of it will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again for His Bride, or whatever takes place at that time.

Now, until that time, let's just all pray and live good straight Christian lives,

looking forward for His coming.

We must remember

that this Seventh Seal is the end of time of all things.

That's right. The things written in the Seven Seal Book (sealed up of the plan of redemption from before the foundation of the world), it every bit ends. It is the end; it is the end of the struggling world. It's the end of struggling nature. It's the end of everything. In there is the end of the trumpets. It's the end of the vials. It's the end of the earth. It's the...It's even the end of time. Time runs out; the Bible said so.

... Revelations the ...--10th chapter-and 1 to the 7th verse. Time runs out.

The angel said, "Time will be no more," ... in the days of this great thing to happen.

Everything runs out in this time, ... at the end of this Seventh Seal.

Notice, it's the end of the church age. It's the end of the Seven Seals. It's the end of the trumpets. It's the end of the vials, and even ends the ushering in of the millennium; that's on the Seventh Seal.

It's just like firing a rocket into the air, and that rocket explodes here, and it goes up, then it explodes again. It puts out five stars. One of those stars explodes and blows out five stars from it; and then one of them stars explodes, blows out five stars from it (See?); it fades on out. That's what

the Seventh Seal; it just ends the time for the world.

It ends the time for this. It means the time for that. It ends the time for this. It ends the time... Everything just ended up on that Seventh Seal.

Now,

how is He going to do it? That's what we don't know, isn't it?

We don't know. It's even the time for all these things, and the ushering in of the millennium.

Notice, the breaking of this Seal was so great that heaven was hushed by it in silence for the space of a half hour. Now, is it great? What is it? It was hushed: heaven. There wasn't a thing moved for a half hour.

Now, a half hour might not be long if you're having a good time, but in the suspense of between death and life, it seemed like a millennium. It was so great,

Jesus never mentioned it: none of the rest of them. John couldn't even write of it. No, he was forbidden to write here.

See, there's just...He didn't write, but it just is silence.

Now, I'd better stop right here. See? I just feel checked not to say no more about it. See? So just remember,

the Seventh Seal, the reason it was not opened (See?), the reason It did not reveal it, no one should know about it...

You notice. Notice now, for the end-of-time message, this Seal. After all,

He's revealed all the six Seals, but it don't say nothing about the Seventh. And the end time Seal, when it starts, will be absolutely a total secret according to the Bible.

Before knowing that... And remember, Revelations 10:1, 7 (1-7, chapter 10:1-7) at the end of the seventh angel's message, all the mysteries of God would be known. We're at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.

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

And he stretched forth his rod, at the command of God, and said, "Let frogs come up and cover the earth." And the frogs come till they heaped them up, piles, and stink was everywhere, maybe forty or fifty feet high, of frogs. They were in the cupboard of Pharaoh. They were in the... turn down the sheet, and there would be a five hundred frogs under the sheet, under the bed, in the grub. Everywhere they went, was frogs, frogs, frogs. Where did they come from? God, the Creator, is sovereign. What He says, He'll do!

And He said there'll be hideous sights upon the earth. "Locusts with hair like women," long hair, to haunt them women that cut their hair. "Teeth like lion; stingers in their tails, like scorpions; they would torment men, months."

Just wait till we get into opening them Plagues and Seals, and them Seven Thunders, watch what takes place.

Oh, brother, you better get to Goshen while there's time to get to Goshen. Don't pay any attention to this outside.

And last week's tapes, I think, will reveal to you the great hideous things that we're going to speak on one of these days when we can get a place sufficient,

of the opening of those last plagues

to be poured out upon the earth, those Vials, rather,

pouring out of the Vials, and the Seven Thunders, and those hideous sights that's coming upon the earth.

Man now, and people today, are in such a neurotic condition; the whole world!

16Now, in doing this, I have come here for the purpose of teaching the last Vials,

last Seven Vials, and the last Seven Trumpets, and the last Seven Thunders,

of the Book of Revelation, tying them together in this hour that we're now living; to follow the opening of the Seven Seals, the Seven Church Ages. So, we couldn't get room to do it. So I hope that, soon as I can, we'll... can get a place sufficient for that, either here or in Louisville, New Albany, or either put up a tent, so we can just stay as long as the Lord leads us to do."

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

ANSWER:

No, they were revealed in the seven Seals; that's what the thunders was about.

They was to reveal... The seven thunders that had

uttered their voices and no one could make out what it was...

John knew what it was, but he was forbidden to write it. He said, "But the seventh angel, in the days of his sounding,

the seven mysteries of the seven thunders would be revealed."

And the seventh angel is a messenger of the seventh church age. See?

But think, now he wrote this, but when he started to write those other seven thunders, he said, "Don't write it." He'd been commissioned to write everything he seen. But when these seven thunders over in Revelations 10 uttered, he said, "Don't write them at all." They're mysteries. We don't know what they are yet; but my opinion they'll be revealed right away. And when it do,

it'll give faith for that rapturing grace for that Church to move out. We just move through everything that we know of; through all the dispensations

we've watched everything. We've seen the mysteries of God. We've seen the appearing of the--of the great gathering together of the Bride in the last days,

but yet there's something in there that we just can't lighten ourself with.

There's something another. But I imagine when them mysteries begins to come forth... God said, "Hold it back now. Wait a minute. I'll reveal it in that day. Don't write it at all, John,

'cause they'll stagger over it.

Just let it go. (See?)

But I'll reveal it in that day when it has need to done."

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.

 It is the secret that no one knows about. John was forbidding to write about it, even, even write a symbol about it.

Why? This is why there was no activity in heaven; it might give away the secret. Do you see it now?

If it's so great it must be included, because it's got to happen, but when the seven thunders...

Now, notice, when the seven angels come forth to sound their trumpets, there was one thunder. When Israel was gathered, there was a trumpet. When time shall be no more, the last trumpet... One thunder, but here is seven straight thunders right in a row: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, that perfect number. Seven thunders in a row, uttered not... making just--just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, straight. Then heavens couldn't write that. Heavens can't know about it, nothing else, because there's nothing to go on. It's a relaxing time. It was so great till it's kept secret from the Angels. Now, why?

If Satan should get ahold of it, he might do great damage.

There's one thing he don't know. Now, he can interpret anything he wants to, and impersonate any kind of a gift (I hope you're learning.), but he can't know this. It's not even written in the Word. It's a total secret. The Angels, everything shut up. If they made one move it might give something away, so they just shut up, quit harping; everything stopped.

And He's got wrote, "Life," riding on a white horse, and here's a man [Pale horse rider] with three different powers mixed up, called Death, gathering his earthbound delegates, and Christ is gathering His heaven-born subjects, saints.

He's got Death wrote on him; Christ's got Life wrote on Him. Those with Him are on white horses also, and they are called "the chosen before the foundation of the world," (Amen.) and they are faithful to the Word. Amen. Whew. I like that one.

Called, chosen before the foundation of the world, and then faithful to the Word by their choosing,

all stimulated with new wine and oil just riding right along, coming down

to meet Him. They know the thunders will issue the thing 'course pretty soon.

I don't know who's going to--what's going to take place.

I do not know.

I just know that

those seven thunders holds that mystery, that heavens was quieted.

Everybody understand?

Did you notice when the Jews asked Him that? You know when we compared the Scripture here with Matthew 24 with the six Seals, the Seventh Seal was left out; because (You see?), Christ said only God Himself knowed, not even the Angels. No wonder, it wasn't even written. You see, they hushed; nothing take place then. Angels don't know it;

nobody knows when He's coming. But there'll be seven voices of these thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time.

So I believe, to us who... If we don't know it,

and we--it won't be knowed till that time, but it will be revealed in that day, in the hour that it's supposed to be revealed in.

So the thing for us to do is to be reverent before God and serve Him, and do all that we know how to do, and live good Christian lives.

 But now the Lamb is showing John in the symbol of a church Scripture like, for the church (you know) what to write. He just show him, said, "Now, don't tell this, just what it is. Don't go down, John, and say, 'Now, this is just what this is.' Now, what's under this Seventh Seal, don't go down and tell that, for

if I tell John that, then all down through the age the whole plan will be broke: it's a secret."

See? He just wants to...

His coming... He said,

"Nobody's going to know when I'm coming;

I'm just coming." See, see? That's all. It ain't for my business to know when, I'll just be ready. You see? So...

Now, that's what's the reason today that the revivals that we're supposed to have... We have denominational revivals; we haven't had a real stirring. No, no, no, no. No, sir. Don't think we got revivals. We haven't. Oh, they've got millions and millions and millions of church members, but not a revival nowhere. No, no.

The Bride hasn't had a revival yet. See? There's been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet. See? We're looking for it. It will take those seven unknown thunders back there to wake her up again. He will send it.

He promised it.

Now, now, watch.

Now, she was dead.

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

Seven thunders of revelation...

May He show the Bride how to prepare for the great translation faith.

Every one of you, cleanse all your heart. Lay aside everything, every weight. Keep it out of your way. Don't let nothing bother you. Don't be scared. There's nothing to be scared about. If Jesus is coming, it's a very--it's a moment that the whole world has groaned and cried for. If it's something breaking forth now, for a new coming--a new coming of a new gift or something, it'll be wonderful. 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. I have just stated what I saw.

Sunday I come down here to speak, and I tried to shake myself from it by speaking. Monday it was there again. And it's here now. And I don't know; I don't know, sirs. I'm only honest with you as my brothers.

I don't know.

Is it time? 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 He's 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 the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up together with those that is asleep

to meet the Lord in the air.

And then there's coming forth seven mysterious thunders that's not even written at all. That's right. And I believe that

through those seven thunders will be revealed in the last days in order to get the Bride together for rapturing faith; because what we got right now, we wouldn't be able to do it.

There's something we've got to step farther;

we can't have enough faith for Divine healing hardly.

We've got to have

enough faith to be changed in a moment and be swept up out of this earth,

and we'll find that after a while, the Lord willing, find where it's written.

 Now, we had him coming last night with his great sword to kill. We find out that he gets killed with the Sword too, the sword of the Word. God's Word, sharp, two-edged sword slays him, puts him right down.

Wait till them seven thunders utter their voices to that group who really can take the Word of God and hand it there. It'll slice and cut. And they can close the heavens; they can shut this or do that, whatever they want to. 

Now, when is the Gospel returning to the Jews? When the day of the Gentiles is finished. The Gospel is ready to go back to the Jews. Oh, if I could just tell you something that is about to happen right in this our day.

This great thing that is about to happen will carry over to Revelation 11 and pick up those two witnesses, those two prophets, Moses and Elijah, turning the Gospel back to the Jews.

We're ready for it. Everything is in order. As the Jews brought the message to the Gentiles, even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews, and the Rapture will come.

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 Bride and the Groom, together, coming to the earth. And then from the 19th chapter to the conclusion of the 22nd chapter, it's all on the Millennium and what will be in the years that is to follow it.

During the 4th to the 19th, God is dealing with Israel.

This seven-sealed Book is revealed at the time of

the Seven Thunders of Revelations 10.

If you're marking it down... Let's turn to Revelations 10 just a moment, so you'll get a understanding before we get into it. Now, this is at the end time, for listen.

... I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow... upon his head,...

If you notice that's Christ (See?), 'cause He in the Old Testament was called

the Angel of the Covenant, and He's directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished.

See? All right.

... and his face... as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

You remember that Angel in Revelations 1? Same thing. Angel is a messenger, and

He's a Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured. See? Now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.

And Jesus, His Name on earth was Redeemer, Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer; that's true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on high,

He received a new Name.

That's the reason they holler the way they do and don't get nothing;

it'll be revealed in the thunders.

Notice, the mystery. He's coming, riding...

There's got to be something to change this Church,

you know that. There's got to be something. Notice. No man knowed but Himself. Now, notice,

no man knowed but Hisself.

 Revelations 19:11.

And I saw heaven opened,... (Amen.)... and behold a white horse; and he that set on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he did judge and make war.

His eyes were... the flames of fire, and on his head... many crowns;... (Oh, brother. See, He's done been crowned by his saints. You see?)...

and he had a name written, that no man knew,

but himself. (You remember, we can't--

we don't know that,

see? what it is.)

And he was clothed... (Let's see.)... And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:

and his name is called... (not "is," but called)... The Word of God.

"The Second Seal"    19 March 1963

... and he had a name written, that no man knew, but... himself

And he was clothed with the vesture dipped in blood: and his name was called The Word of God... (Now, remember,

His Name wasn't the Word of God, His Name was called that.

See?)... his name was called The Word of God.

284 I'll write upon him the name of my God,... which is the new Jerusalem, which cometh down... or, the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down from God... out from heaven from my God:

and I will write upon him my new name.

I better leave that alone, hadn't I?

"And I will write my NEW Name upon him."

My New Name. When ALL becomes new, then He will take upon Him a new Name and that Name will be the Name of the bride also.

What that Name is, none dare conjecture.

It would have to be a revelation of the Spirit given so conclusively that none would dare deny it. But no doubt He will leave that revelation to the day when He desires to give that Name forth.

Suffice it to know that it will be more wonderful than we could ever imagine.

Look where the voices was in the thunders, not in heaven, on earth.

The thunders never uttered from the heavens; they uttered from the earth.

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.

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.

 The devil's nothing but a bluff

anyhow, snorting, and blowing,

all thunder and no lightning.

But I tell you, brother, the lightning power of the resurrected Jesus Christ puts a reality there that shocks the soul from a dead slumber of these earthly bound things into the immortal realms to believe God, and take Him at His Word, and call those things which are not, as though they were. Amen.

 The voice spoke last. It was the last thing.

We've had rushing winds, and thunder, and everything else. But the hour is coming now that the voice of God speaks. And He proves that's Him. It was Him that sent the thunder.

And they went after the thunder instead of listening for the voice.

He sent the wind, but they went after the wind instead of the voice.
