Hock and horror. Brother Branham totally misunderstood the supernatural Cloud that was photographed just North of Flagstaff in Arizona at sunset on 28 February 1963. It was not an event. It was a sign that 6 of the 7 Seals in Revelation 6 were to be revealed. Eight days later 7 angels came to him at sunrise at Sunset Peak, 200 miles South of Flagstaff, to give him the commission to reveal the Seals.
He thought that this was the photgraphed Cloud. No photo was taken on 8 March. Thus brother Branham never stood below the Cloud. He never realized that there were two clouds. The second cloud was a smoke cloud from an exploded rocket. The event was the revelation of six Seals that started on 17 March, 1963.
Acts 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: Water vapour makes a rain cloud. Smoke vapour makes a smoke cloud.
1963. Blood. President Kennedy's blood on his wife's dress shocked the world.
Fire. Kennedy had sent more Americans to Vietnam. In 1965 President Johnson escalated the Vietnam war. Then American cities began to burn with race riots.
The prophet mistook the time and place of the cloud
Message people who follow brother Branham are convinced that the mighty Angel of Revelation 10 came down while brother Branham was on earth, between 1963 and 1965. They also somehow see this as the Coming of the Lord. This is all connected to the supernatural 42-kilometer-high cloud of 28 February 1963 that was photographed just North of Flagstaff in Arizona, just after sunset.
The original 1963 cloud photograph has no face.
This cloud was just north of Flagstaff, about 200 miles North from Sunset Peak or Sunset Mountain.
Brother Branham never saw the cloud as he was in Tucson. Eight days later on 8 March 1963 he was 200 miles south of Flagstaff at Sunset Peak when 7 angels appeared to him but formed no cloud. They gave him a commission to go to Jeffersonville and reveal six of the seven Seals in the Book of Revelation Chapter 6.
Brother Branham then made a big mistake. He thought the angels who came invisibly to him on 8 March at Sunset Peak. formed the cloud on that day. No cloud formed on that day.
Also, no Message people mentioned that there were two clouds. A supernatural cloud formed by angels and a smaller smoke cloud 20 miles behind it, formed by a high-altitude exploded rocket. Brother Branham knew nothing about the smoke cloud.
Fake news quickly took over in Message circles. Sunset Peak or Sunset Mountain became the place where the cloud came down, or went up, or hung in the air all day. Depending on which of the conflicting quotes you prefer to emphasize.
Message preachers who focus on quotes had an open door to make up false doctrines that mutated like a virus.
Based on their interpretations of quotes they claimed that Christ has come, the Angel of Revelation 10 has come, brother Branham is the Son of man, brother Branham is infallible as the Voice of God, the Seven Seals have opened (they have to be revealed before they can open and he only revealed six of the Seals). Fanaticism took over and they claimed that the seven Thunders have uttered and/or are busy uttering. They have numerous different interpretations of the seven Thunders despite brother Branham never saying that the seven Thunders have uttered. Homemade doctrines have successfully removed message-churches far from Scripture as message-followers become increasingly Bible-illiterate.
The cloud was never over Sunset mountain. That is a false claim that spread worldwide.
The supernatural cloud never came down. It stayed at a height of 42 kilometers.
63-0628 O LORD JUST ONCE MORE
Now science took the picture of It, you seen It, went on Associated Press. They didn't know what It was.
There is a Cloud hanging, twenty-six miles high.
That's fifteen miles, or twenty, above even where vapor is at. They don't know what it's all going about, and they are trying to investigate It.
And there, right under It, I was standing.
The Coud was hanging very high up but brother Branham was not underneath it as he was not in Flagstaff on 28 February 1963.
63-0601 COME FOLLOW ME
And just as I looked, right there was them Angels just as plain as They could be, setting right there in that picture. See? I looked to see when it was,
and it was time, same, about day or two before, or day or two after I was up there.
I looked where it was at. "Northeast of Flagstaff, or Prescott, which is below Flagstaff." Well, that's just where we was at, see, just exactly.
This is where brother Branham got his position muddled. The cloud at Flagstaff was described as Northeast of Prescott which is below Flagstaff.
He knew that at Sunset Peak he was Northeast of Tucson and below Flagstaff.
This was his memory, trying to gto back three months earlier concerning a cloud which he had never seen.
Brother Branham first heard of the supernatural cloud three months later from a photograph in Life magazine. He tried to place the time with his visit to Sunset Peak that started on 6 March 1963, according to his daughter Becky. But the hunting season opened on 1 March.
A day or two before 28 February would have him hunting illegally before the hunting season opened. A day or two after 28 February does not help as he first had to preach "An Absolute" at Houston in Texas (1000 miles away) on 4 March 1963.
He was guessing about his movements in March as it was now June, three months later. I am not sure where I was three months ago, so I cannot blame brother Branham for making a mistake. But the message preachers are to be blamed for building a doctrine on his mistake because they have had plenty of time to search out the true facts concerning the cloud.
Brother Branham preached the Seventh Seal on 24 March 1963.
63-0324E THE SEVENTH SEAL
(16 days later after the angels came to him at Sunset Peak on 8 March. A little over 2 weeks)
Notice, there's witnesses of three setting in here,
that a week ago (a little over a week ago)
I was up way back into the mountains, nearly to Mexico, with two brethren that's setting here,
picking cocklebur--or sand burrs off of my trouser leg,
and a blast went off that almost, looked like, shook the mountains down.
"A little over a week ago" is very wrong because 16 days means it was a little over two weeks ago. Brother Branham was clearly guessing about a supernatural cloud that he had never seen and sadly, he mistook Flagstaff (where the angels formed the cloud as a high sign above, of the third exodus) for Sunset Peak where he met the seven angels who gave him his commission to reveal six of the seven Seals. This revelation took just over a week, starting on 17 March 1963.
AMOS 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
ACTS 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Only brother Branham was able to reveal the Seals. No other preacher has.
We need a smoke cloud to fulfill "wonders in the heaven above". How man can create a smoke cloud at that incredible height is a scientific wonder. You try and do it. You will not succeed.
Before God can open the Seven Seals in Heaven, (six of them in Revelation Chapter 6), after catching up the Bride to Heaven in Chapter 4, He must first reveal to brother Branham what the Seals are all about.
The mystery thunder when the First Seal opens has never happened.
The Sixth Seal is opened by the two Jewish prophets when the Bride is in Heaven.
The Seventh Seal is top secret. It was not even revealed. It was just revealed as a total mystery that depends on the seven voices of the seven Thunders.
Listening to the tapes of the voice of the seventh angel that described the seven Thunders as a complete mystery, cannot tell you what the seven voices of the seven Thunders are, nor what they say. Do not be fooled, otherwise you join the foolish virgins as Jesus stands outside all the churches, including message churches.
Christ will not come in a desert area like Sunset Peak
MATTHEW 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Nothing important comes in the desert. So, the supernatural cloud was not seen at Sunset Peak which is in the Sonoran desert. Neither Christ nor the mighty Angel will come in a desert.
"Secret chambers". Christ did not come in 1963 and is now not operating in a secret dimension for the last 60 years.
The supernatural cloud of 28 February, formed by angels' wings, was just north of Flagstaff on 28 February 1963 just atter sunset. It was 42 kilometers high and stayed at that height for 28 minutes. Flagstaff is not in the Sonoran desert. Sunset Peak is in the Sonoran desert, so Christ or the Angel of Revelation 10 cannot come down at Sunset Peak.
The supernatural Cloud was just a sign that six of the seven Seals would be revealed.
The cloud was the sign in the heaven of the Son of man
65-0718 TRYING TO DO GOD A SERVICE WITHOUT BEING THE WILL OF GOD
"Them mysteries will be revealed in the last day, when the seven angel's... seventh angel's Message, when he...Not when he starts out doing this, but, When he begins to sound his Message. See? Not the years in preparation, but,
When he begins to sound the Message, these mysteries then will be revealed.
And here they are; not knowing them, and you people are a witness of that.
And then in that great observatory, [Dr James McDonald in the Tucson observatory] so that the world will be without, they're still wondering what happened. In Tucson, them big observatories [No. Just one observatory took one photograph] 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, [No. There is thin air, there is no water vapour above 20 kilometers height] 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." MATTHEW 24:30
That day, in Luke, the Son of man will reveal Himself again; being revealed, Hisself."
[Christ is the Word and brother Branham was going to reveal six of the seven Seals which would enable us to understand the mysteries of Scripture. Christ revealed as the written Word that could be understood]
“And the world will look like Sodom and Gomorrah. Oh, my!
Brethren, don't be ignorant of spiritual things, see.
Search the Scriptures,
for in Them you think Eternal, you have Eternal Life; and They are They that testify of the Word. They are They that testify of the Truth, the things that God is doing in this hour.”
[He tells us to search the Scriptures so that we can understand the Scriptures by using his quotes. We must thus also find Scripture for the smoke cloud].
The first exodus started with a natural bush that burned with a supernatural fire and never got consumed. Natural and supernatural combined. The Jews came out of Egypt.
The second exodus started with a supernatural conception by the Holy Ghost of a natural born Baby, Jesus. Then the church came out of the Jews.
The third exodus, the revelation of the mysteries of Scripture that brings the Bride out of the church, began with a very high-altitude supernatural cloud that was seen with an equally high-altitude smoke cloud from an exploded rocket. Two clouds were needed to reveal that the supernatural cloud was a mystery. The smoke cloud was needed to explain the debris of the exploded high-altitude rocket. Then there was no natural explanation for the supernatural cloud. That had to be formed by angels’ wings.
The two clouds were the sign in the heaven of the Son of Man. Jesus Christ was going to be revealed as the Word of God that can be understood.
Christ revealed in His Word by a series of revelations that explain that Christ is Almighty God Who has been involved with guiding the redemption of His church over the last 2000 years. The modern church rejects Him as Head of the church. They prefer a pastor as the head of each church. They prefer to interpret quotes rather than understand the Bible. They now claim that the seven Thunders have uttered but brother Branham never made that statement. They wrongly promote the voice of the seventh angel to be the infallible Voice of God. So, the Bride has to move out of the Message churches and out of the denominational churches as Jesus, the revealed Word, stands outside every church.
REVELATION 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock.
Then God will turn to the Jews in great tribulation.
The 7 angels that came to Sunset Peak eight days later were invisible and formed no cloud. Only brother Branham saw them. Their function was to give him a commission to reveal six of the seven Seals, which he did just over a week later at Jeffersonville between 17 March and 25 March.
65-1127 TRYING TO DO GOD A SERVICE WITHOUT IT BEING GOD'S WILL
… 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?
63-0318 THE FIRST SEAL
“Takes the Book and... of Seals and breaks them and shows the seventh angel,
for this alone, the mysteries of God, is the ministry of the seventh angel”.
The highlight of his ministry was revealing six of the Seven Seals to enable the Bride to understand the King James Bible.
So, brother Branham’s message is the forerunner of Christ returning as the revealed Word that can be understood for the first time since the first church age of the apostles.
62-0318 THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED 1
My mission, I believe, to the earth, is (what?) is to forerun the coming Word,
see, the coming Word which is Christ.
Message pastors make up their own quotes
Look how some message-pastors make up an impressive statement that is their own invention. Having got their followers to move away from the written Word, they no longer even say what brother Branham said.
"A forerunner is akin to an MC of a ceremony. HE'LL NEVER RISE TO INTRODUCE A GUEST OF HONOR WITHOUT THE GUEST OF HONOR BEING THERE."
There is no Scripture that says this, nor does brother Branham say this anywhere.
The point they miss is that in our day, since 1963, Christ is revealing Himself, not as a Man, but as the revealed Word of God that can be understood by the Bride. If you reveal the truth from Scripture then the Guest of Honour is the revealed Word that can be understood.
61-1119 PERFECT STRENGTH BY PERFECT WEAKNESS
Oh, my, talk about the lid off of the kettle:
demons going around,
powers of the devil under the name of Christianity,
teaching for doctrine the commandments of men,
So, they start with an unscriptural and false statement. That means they are in darkness as they do not speak according to this Word and thus there is no light in them.
ISAIAH 8:19 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
62-0318 THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED.1
“My mission, I believe, to the earth, is (what?) is to forerun the coming Word,
see, the coming Word which is Christ.”
Brother Branham did not forerun Jesus as a Man.
His message foreran Jesus as the revealed Word so that his quotes could teach us how to understand the revealed King James Bible.
DANIEL 12:10 but the wise shall understand.
Only if we understand the written Bible can we be the wise virgins.
63-03-17 THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEVEN SEALS
“… and the mysteries COMES down from God as the Word of God and reveals the entire revelation of God.”
63-0318 THE FIRST SEAL
“… for this alone, the mysteries of God, is the ministry of the seventh angel.”
63-0317E THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEVEN SEALS
And here He [the mighty Angel of Revelation 10] 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.
The Angel of Revelation 10 only comes down after all the mysteries are finished. Thus He can only come down after 1965. The Angel cannot come down while brother Branham was still alive and revealing the mysteries.
62-12 30 SIRS IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END
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 is all finished.
And when the mystery is finished,
the Angel said, "Time shall be no more,"
and seven thunders throwed their voices out.
Time only finishes for you when you receive a new immortal body that does not age or die.
The seven mystery Thunders utter after the resurrection to show the Bride how to change their bodies.
Cannot correct a prophet means defending error
Pastors defend their errors by saying that we cannot correct a prophet!
The motivation behind this statement is to scare the people so that they will not dare to oppose their pastor. But there are plenty of other pastors who oppose their pastor.
Brother Branham himself was confused as to whether the supernatural cloud was photographed going up or coming down.
63-1110 HE THAT IS IN YOU
Now, some sister here, Billy just showed me, was nice enough to go get this Life magazine, this picture, and blow it up, of that of the seven Angels, and have it taken and sent to me. That is the picture. And now if you'll notice here, as it was leaving, ascending back, when the Angels had brought Their Message, it was in the form of a pyramid;
In the above quote, he thought the angels were photographed as they ascended after speaking to him.
Then a conflict arises.
Because in the next quote says they were photographed as they descended towards him.
63-0623 STANDING IN THE GAP
Brother Fred Sothmann, I know he's here. And I'm pretty sure Brother Norman is here. We was up... I had to go to Houston about getting that little boy saved from the electric chair. [This was 4 March 1963]. And then I went back and I went hunting up there with the brethren [On 6 March 1963]. And that morning [8 March], I was standing there picking cockleburs, or what they call goatheads there, burrs off of my trouser leg. And the blast did just exactly the way It said it. Is that right, Brother Fred? And I must have jumped way off of the ground. And just above me was the Angels of the Lord that sent Message back, for me to come here to break these Seals.
And, now, I didn't know at the time, that they were taking pictures of that, scientists was, as the Angels lowered themselves from Heaven, to bring the Message.
The cloud actually stayed at the same height for the 28 minutes that it was visible.
63-0628M O LORD JUST ONCE MORE
Now science took the picture of It, you seen It, went on Associated Press. They didn't know what It was.
There is a Cloud hanging, twenty-six miles high.
That's fifteen miles, or twenty, above even where vapor is at. They don't know what it's all going about, and they are trying to investigate It.
And there, right under It, I was standing.
Here he admits the Cloud was not going up or down, it was just hanging in the sky.
But he was not standing under it as he was not in Flagstaff on 28 February 1963.
63-0630 IS YOUR LIFE WORTHY OF THE GOSPEL
And say, let's say, maybe it's fifteen miles till you can't get no more vapor.
But this is twenty-six miles, and she hung there all day.
See? They don't know what It is. But, thank the Lord, we do.
No. He was guessing as he never saw the cloud. The cloud was only visible for 28 minutes just after sunset.
The 7 angels came to brother Branham about 8 o'clock in the morning.
Obviously, the cloud and the visiting angels were two separate events that were 8 days and 200 miles apart.
63-1110 HE THAT IS IN YOU
Believe all the Message. Believe That. If it isn't written in the Bible, then don't you believe it.
But, no New Testament church ever had a pastor in charge.
Message groups have built up the wrong system. They cannot prove their beliefs from Scripture.
Now they make up interpretations from brother Branham’s quotes, including some of the quotes that are wrong, and try to scare people into accepting brother Branham’s mistakes.
62-1007 THE KEY TO THE DOOR
That's what gets things scrupled up, you see. That, they claim in here that some brethren up there that said that I sent them up there, and they're preaching that men should leave their wives and hunt for their spiritual mate, and
that I am perfectly infallible.
That there's nothing... And, oh,
some of the awfullest things you ever heard.
As proof that brother Branham is not infallible, he gives two different dates for the same event in the same sermon.
61-0806 THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL
Now, now, Jesus, Messiah, rode into the city of Jerusalem, triumph, on the back of a white mule on Palm Sunday,
April the 2nd, AD 30. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, AD 30.
… From the time God made the promise to Abraham (Don't miss this.)--from the time God made the promise to Abraham, Genesis 12:3, to the time of
Christ being rejected in AD 33, by the Jews,
Jesus rode on a donkey, not a mule.
There is no colour of the donkey mentioned in the Bible.
In this same study he says AD 33 and AD 30.
So, how do you determine the truth? You will have to prove the dates from Scripture. Jesus was about 30 when He was baptized. So His death would be 3.5 years later, in AD 33.
The quote that says AD 30 is wrong.
64-0823 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.1
But those who can accept the Word in Its fullness,
not me preaching It, because It's the Bible says so.
Those who accept that is free, because they--the Word's already been judged.
62-0908 PRESENT STAGE OF MY MINISTRY
… hope He will crown my ministry of this, of letting me
take the clothes of the Word, and dress His Bride in the clothes of the Word,
You must not believe a quote brother Branham makes until you can prove that point from Scripture.
We must be dressed in the Word, not in quotes.
Brother Branham predicted that America would be destroyed by 1977 in Daniel's 70th Week.
He got this date by adding 1954 and 33. He got 1977 as an answer, instead of 1987. So, he was very wrong and obviously nothing happened in 1977.
62-0318 THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED.2
“Now, that's why we got all the things that we've got. Now, all these things I've said, if they don't jive with the Bible, or dovetail with God's Word, they're wrong, they're wrong, all this picture.”
Here he admits that if he says anything unscriptural then he is wrong.
Scripture is more important than a quote.
54-0516 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS LAW HAVING A SHADOW
Now, if you believe me to be His servant, if you think God is with me and helping me,
and if my words ain't according to the Bible then you correct me,
but if they are according to the Bible, and you believe me to be His servant:
65-0801 EVENTS MADE CLEAR BY PROPHECY
And then after the messenger is finished and the Message is done, then they build a denomination upon the Message. And there they die, right there, never come to Life again.
Message preachers who have built beliefs on quotes that are wrong cannot find the truth.
The SHOUT has not yet happened
This next quote was made one month before he died.
65-1127 I HAVE HEARD BUT NOW I SEE
Dear God, in this solemn moment, it's going to be a time like this when there really will be a clap of thunder someday, and the Son of God shall descend from the heavens with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and the trump of God, the dead in Christ shall rise.
Thus, in his lifetime the "single thunder" that sounds when the Seven Seals open, has never happened. Thus the Seals never opened. They were revealed.
The "shout" never happened.
"The "voice" of the Archangel of Revelation 10 never happened.
The "Trump" of God never happened.
The "dead in Christ" never rose.
62-1111 WHY I'M AGAINST ORGANIZED RELIGION
Watch what? After what? After the Message of “Come out of her!” “After these things,” watch, “is the shout of the Bride saints, with the Bridegroom, going to the Marriage of the Lamb.”
The SHOUT was not brother Branham proving his beliefs from Scripture.
The SHOUT is when the Bride individuals can prove their beliefs from Scripture.
64-0119 SHALOM
When that Angel, of Revelation the 10th chapter, puts one foot on land and one on the sea, and a rainbow over His head, He swore, "time shall be no more." When that time comes, you'll rise up from among the dead. While the rest of them lay there, you'll go in.
When the Angel of Revelation 10 does come down, then the dead in Christ shall rise.
65-0725 WHAT IS THE ATTRACTION ON THE MOUNTAIN
We send greetings up in the mountains, Prescott, Arizona, to Brother Leo Mercier and his group that's up there waiting for the Coming of the Lord. We send greetings to those in Tucson, that's gathered tonight, waiting for the Coming of the Lord. Down into Houston, Texas, to those who are waiting for the Coming of the Lord. Up in Chicago, to those who are waiting for the Coming of the Lord. Up on the East Coast, New York and Connecticut, and the great groups up there, that's waiting for the Coming of the Lord. We don't have room here to seat them, so we just have to send them the Word through the--the medium of the telephone. We send greetings to Brother Junior Jackson tonight, and his group down in Clarksville. Brother Ruddell, up on sixty-two, and his group, waiting for the Coming of the Lord. And we're gathered here tonight at the home church, the tabernacle, waiting for the Coming of the Lord.
Five months before he died and he was still waiting for the Coming of the Lord.
The seventh seal was never revealed. It is a total mystery.
1963-11-10 “Souls that are in Prison now”
The Seventh Seal brings Him back to earth.
If the Seventh Seal brings Jesus back to earth, then He has not yet come because the Seventh Seal has not yet opened.
1964-07-19 “The Feast of the Trumpets”
The Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you know. That's His Coming.
He never revealed the mystery of the Seventh Seal. Thus the Lord had not come back to earth.
William Branham is not the Voice of God
65-0725 THE ANOINTED ONES AT THE END TIME
…"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?
The seventh angel, William Branham, is not the Son of man, Jesus.
Jesus is being revealed in His Word which we can now understand. It is not Jesus physically coming as a Man, That only happens right at the end when He raptures us.
63-0630 THE THIRD EXODUS
“for they can hear plainly the God's Voice, calling, through His Word
... Listen to the Bible, the Voice of God
calling to you in this day.”
The Bible is the Voice of God.
Brother Branham is not the Voice of God, he is the voice of the seventh angel that we can listen to on his recorded sermons. Or read on the internet or in books.
The next quote takes attention away from him as a man and places the importance on his revelations of Scripture that enabled us to understand the Scripture.
62 – 12 30 ABSOLUTE
“And we know, Lord, that we are finite.
No matter who we are, we're still mortal. But, not the messenger, but the Message.
Grant it, Lord.
That's where we point, to Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Grant that He will be so real to every one here today, even to the little children,
that He will become the absolute of the entire congregation.”
Jesus Christ is the Absolute.
The only real ministry that brother Branham had was to reveal the mysteries of the written Word.
63-03-17 THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEVEN SEALS
And now, we know that this Book of Redemption will not be thoroughly understood: it's probed at through six church ages, but at the end, when the seventh angel begins to sound his mystery, he winds up all of the loose ends that these fellows probed at,
and the mysteries COMES down from God as the Word of God and reveals the entire revelation of God.
63-0318 THE FIRST SEAL
... for this alone, the mysteries of God, is the ministry of the seventh angel
Do you understand the mysteries of the Bible?
If you think you understand the mysteries the please explain the differences between these two verses.
ACTS 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven (singular) above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire,
and vapour of smoke:
JOEL 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens (plural) and in the earth, blood, and fire,
and pillars of smoke.
Look at Acts 2:19
"Blood and fire". President John Kennedy was shot dead in 1963. His blood stained his wife's dress as seen on television. 1963 was the year that Bibles were removed from American classrooms. Kennedy had wanted to stop the Vietnam war but his successor, President Johnson, stoked the fire by escalating the Vietnam war that killed 3 million people. American cities began to burn because of race riots.
1963 was a key year. Signs in the earth beneath saw six of the Seven Seals being revealed that opened up the mysteries of Scripture being revealed. The Pope died and the Catholic President Kennedy died. Light was destroying darkness.
"Heaven" (singular) The cloud was seen in one place only, just north of Flagstaff.
“Above” means high. The smoke cloud or vapour of smoke was 42 kilometres high. Exceptionally high.
Vietnam was the longest air war in history as it lasted 20 years with airplanes up in the sky. No other war has involved high-flying aircraft over such a long span of time. The Second World War only lasted 6 years.
Water vapour forms rain clouds. Smoke vapour forms a smoke cloud.
If you deny that the high-altitude smoke cloud was there then you claim that this prophecy was never fulfilled.
Can you explain the next prophecy? The wise will understand.
JOEL 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens (plural) and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
1945. Two smoke pillars from the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan to end the Second World War.
This was the biggest shock to hit the world in the last century.
A shocking sign of future destruction.
Then in 1947 God began to turn to Israel as the United Nations gave them a portion of their Promised Land.
In 1947 the Angel of the Lord came to brother Branham to ignite his incredibly powerful healing and discernment ministry. God was beginning to call out His end-time Bride.
In 1947 three Americans invented the transistor. This switch enabled man to build computers and the internet. By the year 2000 the internet could take the Gospel truth to all the world.
