"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine." (John 10:11-14).

We say welcome to the Lord in his mighty presence. I have a very important mission, and that is, before me are many questions from Africa, India and from Europe, also there are others which could very well total about One hundred and fifty questions. Many of these are based upon the Ministry of Christ that now handles the message; handles the word of life. Questions that deal with deacons, ministers, their call, their do's, their don'ts and many other areas. I am speaking tonight not only to this visible audience, but I speak generally to the overseas church. In answering these questions I want to make sure that I apply the scriptures and apply the quotations of Brother Branham. I don't know how many services it would take to complete these, but I feel led of the Lord to answer every one of these questions with the help of some of the minister brothers.

"I am taught that all preachers are servants of God, though they differ in doctrine, they would eventually go in the rapture with the church. Is this true?"

Answer:There is only one answer to that question and it is, 'no!' Few are servants of God and many of servants of Satan. The entire Bible and all the Prophets attest to this simple fact. Our Lord Jesus rightly divided this in St. John Chapter 10, and he fitted ministers into three categories. He said: "I am the good shepherd:…" Number one. "…the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling…", that's another class, "…and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep."(John 10:11-13). We are dealing with three different classes of ministers right here. The good shepherd, the hireling and the wolf. And to confirmed this third class which seems to be out of context, Jesus confirmed this in Matthew 7:15: "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." You have the good shepherd, number one, you have the hireling, and you have the wolf in sheep's clothing, which is a false prophet.

Quote: 331-1 "Beware of false prophets, for they are ravening wolves." (Church.Age.Book Cpt.9).

There are two spirits, two great powers that rule the universe, two seeds which started in the garden of Eden, two vines and two kingdoms, summed up in the parable of the wheat and the tares; the children of God and the children of the Devil. The entire bible bears witness to this simple fact that there is good and there is evil. There are spirits that support the kingdom of God and there are spirits that support the kingdom of the devil. There are two seeds; one is evil and the other is good. There are two vines which came out of those seeds and ran through the human race, blossomed and bore fruits in our age and day. Their fruits have come to perfection.

There are two great kingdoms that are at war, and that is the kingdom of Satan against the kingdom of God. That battle between these two kingdoms is about ready to come to a climax. Revelation Chapter 12:7, bears out this fact: "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels." The negative, the false, the evil was cast down from heaven. Sin started in heaven not on earth. Ezekiel Chapter 28, the Lord speaking of Satan, that he made him perfect in all his ways, until iniquity was found in his heart. Sin started in heaven, unbelief started in heaven, rebellion started in heaven and two spirits were at war in the heavens. Two mighty forces were at war in the heaven, two kingdoms were at war in the heavens. The kingdom of Satan was cast down. Lucifer was cast down with his angels, with his spirits who turned against God. They came to earth. They disturbed the human race. That sin that came down from heaven, the knowledge of sin that came down from heaven disturbed the human race and brought the fall. It produced two seeds; one was evil and one was good. The Evil was Cain and the good was Abel. The kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violence taketh it by force, from the Garden of Eden with the murder of Abel, by the seed of the serpent who was religious, who was a prophet, a false one, because he claimed to have had a revelation from God that fruits would appease the angry God.

These two seeds travelled down throughout the Old Testament. As we read the books in the Bible, you would notice that course, right through every book of the Bible it is evil and good; war between evil and righteousness. God sending his prophets to bring his people back to righteousness, away from evil.

In the time of Noah, the earth was filled with violence; sin and wickedness overspread the earth (Genesis 6). It caused the Lord to destroy the world and save Noah and his family, a preacher of righteousness. God drowned the whole world, for their wickedness, with all their false preachers, with all their organizations, and with all their false preachers, with all their organisations, with all their bible schools.

Therefore, this conception which is taught that all preachers are servants of God and though they differ in doctrine they will eventually go in the rapture with their churches, is a heresy; and we denounce it as a heresy, formulated by Satan himself, to protect his own kingdom. No, all preachers are not servants of God, few are servants of God, and many are servants of Satan.

It came down through the Old Testament, and we can see the two vines still running into the New Testament. We find that false seed in the Pharisees, when our Lord Jesus came to the earth, he knew that very well. And he brought up this parable here of which they could not understand, He said, "I am the good shepherd the hireling, sees the wolf coming and he fleeth". He fought against the Pharisees "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth". (John 8:44). "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" (Matthew 23:33). John the Baptist seen that next group over there. Yes, he said, "O generation of vipers, (I relate you back to the Garden of Eden), who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? (Matthew 3:7).

From Genesis to Revelation speak of false preachers and true preachers, false prophets and true prophets, children of Satan and children of God, and it is no less today. Right in religious circles we have them today. All preachers are not servants of God. Whoever preaches that doctrine is in Satan's service, and is working for his kingdom. The world today is filled of false prophets and there are just few servants of God. They have filled the radio stations, filled the televisions, filled the Evangelical field, filled the churches, and even if this would offend, the whole religious world, outside of this message that came to us today by Malachi 4:5-6, is of the devil and is controlled by Satan and makes up a part of Satan's kingdom. We make no apologies for that

The evangelists on the field, radio preachers, television preachers and all that rejected the message of Brother Branham are false prophets, false pastors and false teachers. Satan was so slick that he wound himself right up at the supper table of God, manifested in human flesh, the Son of Man; and when the outpouring came on the day of Pentecost the spirit of Judas, which is the spirit of the devil, came back upon the tares, the children of the devil. And they are spoken about in the book of Revelation 2:6,9, as the Nicolaitans, as the synagogue of Satan and rejecters of Christ in the end time (Revelation :3:14-22). And in this world today they have come to perfection in all manner of deception and wicked lives, that it is very hard to find a servant of God. The Kingdom of God is suffering violence up to today and the violent is taking it by force. But soon the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. (Revelation 11:15). We live with this great hope.

"We are taught that all preachers who preach the message of Malachi 4:5-6, are true servants of God; though they teach contrary to the message, they would lead their flock to the rapture. Is this true?"

Answer: The answer to this question is a big 'NO!' Few are God's servants others are wolfs and hirelings. In between the wolves, and the hirelings are true shepherds. The good shepherd, he cares for the sheep and gives his life for the sheep; he loves the sheep.

The hireling, who is he? His very name bears out who he is. He is preaching for a hire, he is a hireling he is a hired preacher: hire-ling. He came into the gospel to find a job: for money, for house for lands for women. He fell by all three. So he is a thief and a robber. This fits the radio preachers, television preachers and all the big names around the world that followed the revival of Brother Branham in the early fifties, that made themselves millionaires and even billionaires, by jumping into that revival that was sent to the world which was a healing revival, that the prophet of God was sent with around the world, for fifteen long years. The prophet of God said:

Quote: 34-2 "And right down in your heart you see what they're working you for--have you in church. Why? To draw a crowd to bleed them of every bit of money they can get out of it. You think I don't know that? They might not think I know it, but I know it… Just weeding along until they think they can find something, pulling every penny that they can out of the people…(that make-believer)… just as Judas." (Three kinds of believers 63-1124E).

There are three kinds of believers. All Preachers who preach this message are not the servants of God. We have good shepherds right through the world. We have hirelings right through the world now preaching the message for hire. They have an outstretched arm for money, they are not ashamed to give you their bank account number, they are not ashamed to tell you to give me a thousand dollars or give me five thousand dollars or buy me a motor car or build me a house. Hire-ling.

The difference between this hireling and the true shepherd is clearly set forth in St. John 10. Jesus gave you the description of the true shepherd. He used that statement more than once, "I am the good shepherd", they are shepherds under him and there are also goats. And he gives you the description of the hireling. He says that the hireling sees the wolf coming and he fleeth and allows the wolf to come in and scatter the sheep. And that is the same thing that has happened in the message. These hirelings that are not born shepherds, called shepherds, trained shepherds, sent shepherds, who are over the flock of God worldwide, they make a way for the false prophets to come in and ruin the sheep. They make the way for the false prophets which are the wolves in sheep clothing, to preach on their pulpits, to bring in heresies, to preach a love gospel, to preach this kind of heresy and say that everybody that preaches the message are God's servants and eventually they will lead their church into the rapture. It's a heresy, it's of the devil, and this was orchestrated from hell itself and conveyed to the message people around the world by preachers in Satan service.

This is orchestrated in order to hide the wolf and the hireling. The true shepherd will come out there and give his life for the sheep. The true shepherd will come out there and expose heresies; the true shepherd will come there and fight with the wolf. He will expose the false prophets; he would beat the skin of the sheep from the wolf, with the shepherd staff and expose the wolf in sheep's clothing.

This kind of teaching were put together by the hireling himself, to protect the wolf, the wolf who he may be following is in America, it may be a head man in Germany, it may be some big brain man in India, Europe, or the Caribbean it may be some big brain man over in Africa, and the hireling himself made up this heresy to keep the false prophet (the wolf) under cover. When you meet a true Shepherd he will beat the sheep skin off the wolf; and I trust that this answer to this question beat the sheep skin off these wolves. This is called 'the love gospel.' This is an item from the 'love gospel', which advocates that "Nobody should fight, nobody should quarrel, love one another, overlook the errors on doctrines." The hireling, he is working for the tithes. He is working for the offering. The day he cannot get enough tithes and offerings he is going to get other sheep. This hireling is interested in drinking the milk of the sheep. He is interested in eating the meat of the sheep, but he does not love the sheep as the Shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, these false prophets coming into the congregation, from United States, from all these big industrialized countries, and this false prophet come in their as a wolf in sheep's clothing, preaching the love gospel, then the hireling take his seat and leave the pulpit open for the wolf to come and devour the sheep with his false doctrines and his heresies.

Few are the servants of God who preach this message. Few are really Shepherds, but we have many hirelings. There are men that have ascended the pulpit in many countries of the world in order to make a living. They gather five or ten or fifteen sheep and they are living off the tithes and offerings even because it's an easier job. Their motives and objectives are wrong, and that is one of the great test to know if a man is called, that Brother Branham brought out on the message called "ministers conference", now called "Questions and Answers".

Quote: "Now, there's a great trick there that the enemy can play on you…make you think you are called when you're not called… make sure that your calling comes from God, and then check your motives and objectives...What is your motive for preaching? Was it just... You think it was a easier job than what you have? Then you'd better forget it; it wasn't a call. (Ques. & Ans. 61-0112).

There are preachers who have opened churches through out the world and in a lot of poverty stricken countries, they have two or three members, and send letters out, and big names around the world, saying that they are ministers, that they have big churches, they have rubber stamps, and solicit money from these false prophets, and those false prophets are willing to pay money in order to use these hirelings in these countries.

The day is evil. Bible prophecies of the end time confirm this truth, that all preachers who preach this message are not God's servants, and not everybody that preaches from a spoken word book and quote the tapes of Brother Branham, Malachi 4, is of God. The bible said:

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron." (I Timothy 4:1-3).

This prophecy fits the people that now follow this message, and those that rejected the faith and rejected the message of William Branham from so-called Pentecost.

Before you could reject the faith, it must be restored. You must come close to that faith and you must hear a man preaching that faith. And Malachi 4 was sent unto us to restore us back to the faith of the forefathers, and the spirit was speaking expressly in Brother Paul, that some shall depart from the faith in the latter times, the faith that was restored today by Malachi 4, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrine of devils. There are seducing spirits in around the message of the hour and doctrines of devils now preached under the banner of the message of the hour, under the banner of William Branham and message believers. Prophecy fulfilled to the letter.

Many have departed from the faith giving heed to these seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, example: "Seven thunders revealed by Brother Branham in 1963" is a doctrine of the devil, "blood is off the mercy seat": doctrine of the devil, "the Spirit of God is already outpoured and the capstone is here": doctrine of the devil, "the church is already placed in it's rightful position", doctrine of the devil, "Santiago is the covenant angel, Revelation 10; 1, God manifested in human flesh" is a doctrine of the devil, "Lawrie is the tenth incarnation of the Hindu God called Krishna" is a doctrine of the devil, "Mr. Coleman received the thunders first in New York" is a doctrine of the devil, "Vin Dayal is the white horse rider here in Trinidad" is a doctrine of the devil.

Brother John the apostle, Peter, Brother Paul, all those apostles spoke of false seeds creeping in under the message of the hour. Brother Branham came and restored the message of Apostle Paul; he said that he preached exactly what Paul preached. And just as these spirits crept under that first message, here they are creeping under this message and have crept very far and are right up to the supper table. Brother Peter expressed himself in this way:

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of." (II Peter 2:1-2).

All these are prophecies, and master of all prophecies is in Luke 21, and Matthew 24, when Jesus said concerning the sign of his coming, the first sign that he gave them, he said; "And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ. (Luke 21:8) And if you notice around the world and around this message, how many people claim to be Christ and the incarnation of Christ and Revelation 10: 1, you must know that it's prophecy fulfilled.

Jesus said of these false prophets in the end-time: "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many…For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets" (Matthew 24:5, 24).

Now we are living in that day; we are living in that time all the preachers who are preaching this message is not of God. "If they are not of God preacher, who are they?" We have prophecies fulfilled in the end-time, false anointed ones are now carrying this message by the tens of thousand, seducing spirits that Brother Paul prophesied about, false prophets and false teachers who Brother Peter prophesied about, anti-Christ that Brother John spoke about. He said even now in my age, two thousand years ago, there are many false prophets. (1 John 2:18). What is it today? All these prophecies in the end-time are heaped up over here under the message of the hour.

All who preach this message is not of God; all who handle the Word of God are not servants of God. The majority are servants of the devil, false anointed ones, false prophets, false teachers, and antichrists, according to the Bible.

These scriptures were also confirmed by Malachi 4, Brother Branham, by visions and dreams, and I will briefly refer you to one. There was a dream that he interpreted in 1965 from the message call "And knoweth it not". There was a white horse rider and he was riding that white horse, and there was a false prophet upon a black and white horse, who was trying to bump the white horse off the trail.

Quote: 33-1 "Brother Branham,…there you was standing there on a horse, that I never seen anything like it in my life: great white horse… You was dressed like an Indian Chief… I seen this man that called himself a prophet… "He come up on a horse that was mixed with white and black together." And said, "He got up behind this great big horse… he took his little horse, trying to knock your big horse off…You turned around and called the man by name and said, 'Get off of here.' You know that no man can ride this road here, without God be ordained him to do it. Get off of here." (Knoweth It Not 65-0815).

That vision brings out that there will be false prophets and the false anointed ones trying to destroy the message of William Branham in the endtime, and they will come right up to the message and try to bump off the white horse from the trail, but there will come a time when the white horse rider will drive them off the trail. We shall prevail.

There was a vision that the man of God seen that bear witness of the times in which we are living and the unbelief in the hearts of preachers in the endtime, and that was a mamba snake at Jordan, that the church was about ready to cross over to the promise land like in the days of Moses, and the people at that time at Kadesh Barnea disbelieved the promise of God, and the reason that they disbelived the promise of God was because of preachers that went over into the promise land and brought back a lying report, that they could not take the land.

Quote: 56 "And now, in the visions... I was standing on the map of Palestine… And I looked across Jordan, and I said, "Oh, praise God, just on the other side is where all the promises lay. Every promise lays in the promised land… and here come a huge monster snake.. And he crawled up on the highway… it was a mamba…And the snake, of course, represents sin, death." (Paradox 61-1210).

These preachers are right now in the message. There were ten spies back there. There may be about one hundred thousand spies today, around the message, now handling the message, preaching that all is over, preaching that "the third pull is already fulfilled, the tent vision already took place, Brother Branham must be resurrected if anything has to take place; the millennium has already started; there is no physical return of the Lord Jesus." All these are heresies. And most of all, they preach that there cannot be another outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It's the same lies that the spies came with, that we cannot take the Land. But in this very age the Holy Spirit will be crying out today, "We are more than able to take the Land!" And there will be a people today in type of Caleb, that with the revelation of the Holy Spirit and say, "We are more than able to take the Land; all these giants of unbelief, they are bread for us."

Quote: 120-5 "Now, let us stand like Joshua and Caleb as we see the promised land coming in sight. It's nearing the time to be given. "Joshua" in Hebrew means "Saviour" and represents the promised end time leader to take the church over. Caleb represents the true believer who stayed with Joshua. (Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318e).

These devils were prophesied to be here, handling and mishandling the message that was restored by William Branham, as certainly as they mishandled the message that was brought by Brother Paul. Today that message is restored and the same spirits that perverted the message in that early age, is here doing the same. The perversions were so little that Brother Paul said that you cannot even call it another gospel. "Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. (Galatians 1:7). He said, but there are two gospels over here now; "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:8). And that is what we are saying here today from the voice of Bethel. 'If any man tries to change the message of William Branham let him be accursed! As we said before so say we now again! Though we or an Angel come from heaven and try to change the message of William Branham let him be accursed!'

This mamba at the Jordan, preachers promoted that, and today we have these preachers with unbelief in their souls, perverting the Word of God, damning the people souls, telling them that we cannot go back to Pentecost, when the prophet of God made that very plain on Church Ages page 376 to 380. He said there must have necessity be a return of dynamic power! It will be the harvest rain, the final quickening for the rapture. No power no rapture; no outpouring no rapture.

Quote: 377-2 "The true church would return to being the bride she was at Pentecost, we know that there must of necessity be a return of dynamic power…Thus what was thought to be the restoration and the final quickening unto the rapture had not come… In her will be the fullness of Pentecost for the Spirit will bring the people right back to where they were at the beginning. That is "Thus saith the Lord… Next will come the harvest rain or rapturing faith" (Church Age Book Cpt.10).

This prophesy was brought out in the two sowers, Church Ages pg. 168, a man dressed in white and a man dressed in black.

Quote: 168-1 "I saw in the vision a man dressed in the purest white who went forth into a freshly plowed field and sowed grain… after the sower in white had gone, a man in black came and stealthily sowed some more seed amongst that which the man in white had sown. (Church.Age.Book Cpt.5).

Quote: 16 "Around come a man, he was dressed in black, and he was throwing weed seeds all over it." (Seed.Of.Discrepancy 65-0118).

The man dressed in white was the Son of Man, revealing himself through William Branham, sowing the seeds around the world. The man dressed in black was the false anointed ones. That false anointed one went out sowing his seed when Brother Branham turned his back; that's what the vision said.

So right now we have that fellow dressed in black going around sowing seeds of discrepancy. Seeds of discrepancy are that "Seven Thunders were revealed by Brother Branham, it's a lie of the devil; "the blood is off the mercy seat". That the Seven Trumpets are revealed; the Seven Trumpets were preached by Vin Dayal". It's a lie of the devil! Seeds of discrepancy are that "the millennium started"; seeds of discrepancy are that "we should no longer take communion because Christ has returned; it's until he comes". "There is no physical return of the Lord Jesus, he has only returned in Perousia form, which is His presence". Seeds of discrepancy.

In Type ten spies who went over into Canaan Land and have seen the Word of Power demonstrated by William Branham, tasted of the good Word of God to come and denied the promise of God after that. What do we have handling this message today? We have the false anointed one handling the message, we have the hirelings, we have devils incarnated in human flesh, false prophets, false apostles, false teachers, and in between them right around the world, you have the true shepherds. I am not preaching fanaticism that this church alone has God's people. I believe that God's people are scattered through Africa, scattered through India, and scattered through the whole world. But I believe that in between the people of God are the tares; children of the wicked one, Cain's seed, false anointed ones, have the children of God in bondage.

That was brought out in the House of Hell vision that Brother Branham had. But in that House of Hell vision, there was a time of deliverance.

These false teachers, false prophets, false apostles, black horse rider, mamba snake at the Jordan, and all these kinds of negative spirits of the devil have the children of God in bondage. Right now many children of God are in bondage. We can hear the cries from behind the prison bars.

Quote: 24 "And she said, "Brother Branham, deliver us from this." Said, "This is a house of hell."… I looked over there, and like a great big cellar, or--or big walls, down beneath a great big cave, and great iron bars, eight or ten inches thick. And people, out of their mind, twisted arms and legs, beating their head like that. And she was crying, saying, "Deliver the people, Brother Branham."… So I said, "House of hell, give away to the Name of Jesus Christ." And all the creaking and popping, and the rocks a-rolling, and bars a-falling; and people running, screaming, "Delivered!" and screaming at the top of their voice, and was all delivered." (Works.Is.Faith.Expressed 65-1126).

They kept away the tapes and they kept away the books from the people in order to keep them in bondage. Can you imagine that after many years following the message, ministers would be begging for a 7 Seals book and a Church Ages book and begging for quotations? That is the method that a lot of these false prophets use to keep the people in ignorance in Africa, India, and other poorer countries. But their days are numbered. Their time is coming when the white horse rider, Christ in another apostolic ministry, will drive them off the trail.

Let me say this here in answering this question; the false anointed ones are based in the United States. They are the ones that have exported their heresies, and their wicked spirits to the rest of the world. Now I am speaking this on scriptural grounds and also based on the message of the Prophet. The proudest nation on Earth is America. The most unspiritual nation of the world is America, and she is a cursed nation according to the message of the hour, and she has the world looking up to her as a Christian nation looking up to her as spiritual.

And the preachers of America have the people in the message believing that they are spiritual but they are unspiritual.

The false anointed one is based in the United States. Let me prove that to you right now; Malachi 4:5-6, William Branham, God's servant and prophet, was sent to the land of America to expose Satan. When Satan was exposed there, by the opening of the Seals, that is where he sent his most powerful weapons to combat the opening of the Seals, the message of William Branham and Christ. Revelation10:1, which was fulfilled in the United States. Therefore the antichrist and the false anointed ones had to be in the land of America in order to do battle with Christ! Further proof; America will finally become the seat of the World Council of Churches, and will use her political and religious influence to command the whole world to make an image to the beast, which is to form the World Council of Churches that resembles the Catholic Church. It's a cursed nation. The proudest nation upon Earth is America. God has a handful of people yet in America who are children of God and who are a part of the Bride of Jesus Christ, but the nation itself is cursed.

Every organization is cursed for rejecting William Branham and his message. Out of these organizations came the false anointed ones, false prophets and false teachers, who took up the message of William Branham, took up the tapes of William Branham, read two Spoken Word books, made heresies out of it and exported it to Africa, India, Europe and the other countries. They carried their heresies to damn those people, but God has a chosen number, in Africa, India, Japan, China and the rest of the world who have not bowed their knees unto Baal.

Far as America as a nation is concerned, she's a cursed nation. That is why America is against these Exposition books. There is just a handful that adheres to these expositions, even because it's the seat of the devil for the World Council of Churches. The proudest letters that I ever received are from preachers in the United States and I want to further prove by Brother Branham's vision, that the false anointed one who was trying to bump the white horse was not in Africa, not in India, but it was in the land of America. Brother Branham said that he came from towards Canada, and he said that man's name - I know him, Daulton's son in law had a dog by his name.

Quote: 33-2 "This guy run up behind you, came from towards Canada." (And the man lives in Canada.) And he said, "Come back and said he took his little horse, trying to knock your big horse off."

Quote: 35-5"Leo Mercier, coming down with exactly the same dream, about trying to breed a big white stallion to a black mare... Ed Daulton son-in-law had a dog with this name." (Knoweth It Not 65-0815).

There was a brother called Daulton. He said the name of Daulton's son in law's dog - when you come to find what was the name of Daulton's son in law's dog you will know the name of that prophet. He was representing all false anointed ones in America. And to try to hit that white horse off the trail the land of North America must be the place of the false anointed ones to combat Christ the opening of the Seals, and finally the seventh seal when it is broken to the public in power to vindicate the coming of Christ and the third pull in the bride.

They have exported their heresies into Africa and India. That is why all these questions are coming. These false anointed ones from America and from Europe, went to those countries and lied to the people, telling them that they were with Brother Branham, and as long as Brother Branham ordained them, and recognized their ministry they are of God. They are all false prophets! Yes. And the same way they try to control the world through politics, they try to control religion through their heresies. They take advantage of the poor people in Africa and India and the rest of the world on account of their poverty. These false anointed ones and false prophets go over there and buy the people, give them money and sweeten them up with all kinds of gifts. Damn them by the thousands and tens of thousands. False prophets! Preaching to them that Brother Branham is going to resurrect. Preaching to them that all is over. Preaching to them that the 'Tent Vision' is fulfilled. Preach to them that there is no Third Pull Ministry coming. Preach to them that there is no Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. But there shall be an Outpouring of the Holy Spirit! We believe it with all our hearts! How many believe these things? [Congregation says, "Amen!"] I believe, help Thou my unbelief!

"We, as believers, are chastised by ministers for divisions in the Message. I believe the problem is in the ministry. Please correct me; am I wrong?"

Answer:Around the world we hear from the mouth of ministers all the do's and don'ts that the church should obey, but we seldom hear of the do's and the don'ts that the minister should obey, because if these ministers preach these things they will expose themselves. Yes! Their wives rule them around. Their children are unruly in their own homes. Their wives are in tight skirts, some of them in chopped off hair and claim to be born again and have the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They have some of these women writing and explaining the Message and the Bible in their literature. They are in high heel shoes and they are on the sports field. That is why we don't hear of the do's and the don'ts of the ministers. Yes. But these questions will bring out the do's and the don'ts of both the congregation and the ministers. My brother, who get vex please themselves!

Here they blame the congregation for the divisions, because they are not praying enough, because they are not united enough. This person is suggesting; he said, "I believe the problem is in the ministry, please correct me; am I wrong?' No, my brother, you are right!

I could confirm that right now from St. John 10, '… the hireling seeth the wolf coming and he fleeth, and the wolf comes and scatter the sheep.' So, you are not the problem, believers of this Message are not all together the problem, though we have the children of Satan, the tares who are always ready to cater to the false prophet and the hireling. There are people who don't want truth. All they want is to belong to a church. They want membership. We have those kinds of people, three kinds of believers. But the main problem is not with the people. The main problem is with the hirelings. The main problem is with the wolves. The Bible says they are the ones who are scattering the sheep.

And we can put that right back in the Scriptures. The hirelings are fighting with one another for more wages. To get more wages they want more members. They want more sheep. They want more wool. They want more milk. They turn around and blame the sheep for the divisions. The sheep is not causing the divisions.

Quote: 45-3 By lack of this revelation is why we have so many different divisions among us and so much mockery, so much division among us, is because the people lack that revelation. See, they lack that revelation: the teachers." (Christ.Is.The.Mystery 63-0728).

There are five major doctrinal divisions in this Message. It is documented in book 4 "Exposition Of Damnable Heresies' that all the divisions around the world are summed up in five major doctrinal divisions, and we belong to the last division, and the last division says; 'There is another Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, coming and all that God promised through His Prophet, William Branham will be fulfilled in the End-time by the Bride of Christ. We belong to that division.

The wolf is the problem and the hireling is the problem. This hireling and this wolf are against the true shepherd. The true shepherd is a deadly enemy to the hireling and the wolf. The hireling is a fellow that is not called to the service of God. He doesn't have that real love for the sheep. He is there for wages. He is there for a job. He changed offices from the organization and came behind the pulpit to preach the Message. He came over with the same seed, same spirit, and his same seeds of discrepancy from the organizations. That's the man that is causing the problem.

Oh, there was a great company of people that left Egypt land. They were in one accord. They had one vision, and that vision was to go to a Land flowing with milk and honey. One vision under Moses. Beloved, the people had one vision under William Branham today and that is another revival, a Third Pull Ministry and another Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which is a type of that "Land'. Look and see if it was the people's problem or whose problem it was under Moses as they journeyed to that Promised Land. It was not the millions of people that followed Moses that was causing the problem. My brother, there was a jealous Abiram, a jealous Korah and a next fellow called Dathan, and two hundred and fifty princes. Everybody wanted to be a Moses. They wanted a bigger position than what they had and they were filled with unbelief. Yes. Who was causing the division? Who was crying out 'let us stone him with stones'? Korah, Abiram and Dathan were the men behind all of that throughout the wilderness. Who were the ones that deceived them at Kadesh Barnea? Not the ten spies that went over into Canaan's Land? When they went into Canaan's Land those were the people that said, 'we are not able to take the land". And do you notice what happened, after they killed those ten spies, do you realize that the people were ready to go up and take the Land after they got rid of those preachers? My brother, the Lord is coming with a mighty ministry. He is coming to drive that false prophet off the trail! He is coming again, my brother, to destroy those Ten Spies. He is coming to expose the False Anointed Ones by the Ministry of the Seventh Seal. That is why God reserved the opening of the Seventh Seal to the public, even because in that Ministry is the exposition of the False Anointed One to the Bride around the world. It is coming, and it is coming in power. They are not going to hear the Seventh Seal in public without the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The Seventh Seal must go to the world in power, yes a type of the Day of Pentecost. In type, Brother Peter broke the Seventh Seal on the Day of Pentecost, only after the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. You say, "How do you type that preacher?" After the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit Peter walked out there, the man with the Keys to the Kingdom. He said, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." (Acts 2:36), in type, the Seventh Seal was opened; from under the Roman seal the resurrected Christ came forth.

Oh yes. Chastising believers. It's the day when these False Anointed Ones are taking advantage of the children of God, giving them hog food to eat, garbage, keep the books away from them, keep vital quotations away from them, keep away the Seals book from them, keep away the Church Ages. But brothers and sisters let us join together and make sure that the people of God have all the quotations that they want. It is going out on these Exposition of Damnable Heresies. How many are with me? [Congregation says, "Amen!"] Give Him a praise offering.

Yes my brothers and sister across the seas, you are not the problem that is causing the divisions. It's not the lack of prayer; it's not the lack of unity. But Brother Paul said that there are heresies among you and if there be heresies among you there are also divisions among you. (1 Corinthians 11: 18-19). It's the heresies that are causing the divisions. False Anointed Ones are causing the division. The man on the black and white horse is causing the division. The man dressed in black sowing seeds of discrepancy, he is causing the divisions. False spirits, they are causing the divisions. Yes my beloved, let us appreciate the things that we are hearing.

They are not the problem. Who was the problem amongst the Apostles and their unity? The Bible said that the Apostles were carried away by a dissension of Judas. He was the one that caused the sheep to be scattered. Smite the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered. That hireling, Judas the Hireling. The False Anointed. The wolf in sheep clothing. He was so clothed with the wool that none of the Apostles could pick out the deceiver and the betrayer. They preferred to have blamed their own selves and ask the Lord "is it I?"

That false anointed one is slick my brother. He's full of fruits, he is full of nice words, yes. He speaks in such a way that it could even deceive the elect if it were possible.

Who were the ones causing the division? Was it the people or was it false brethren in the days of Brother Paul? False brethren came in to spy out the liberty of the church. (Galatians 2:4). Those were the ones that were causing the divisions. Not you people in Africa, not you people in India, not you people around the world. It's the False Anointed Ones; it's the Hireling and the wolf that come in there and scatter the sheep.

Peter met them in his day, John met them in his day, Jude met them in his day and let them have it. He said, "Certain men have crept in unawares… ordained to this condemnation", (Jude 1:4) seeds of the serpent, False Anointed Ones. Certain men: False Anointed Ones under the Message. Certain men dressed in black sowing corruptible seeds. Certain men: seducers, perverters of the Message. Certain men crept in under the Message today riding on black and white horses. Heretics! Yes my friends.

Then chastise the sheep. You hireling! Beat the sheep into subjection. Telling them that they are the problem. You are the problem you False Prophet! God is coming to curse you by the Ministry of the Seventh Seal that would be broken to the public!

Answer:Yes my beloved I will help. The most unspiritual preachers of the Message of Malachi 4 are in United States. Those people don't study the books, many of them don't study the tapes. I know of one church in the whole of United States that is versed in the Message and that is in Connecticut, U.S.A. Only one church that I know, that dress morally and have the Spirit of God among them. And I believe that God is going to use that church one of these days to bring condemnation to all false prophets, false teachers and seeds of the serpent, in the U.S.A

To say "seed of the serpent" on the pulpit is 'bad manners' you know. But hear Brother Jude, he said certain men have crept in unawares. Yes, they came in there like a cat, unawares, ordained to this condemnation. He said, "Contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints. (Jude1:3-4) Fight; do battle for the faith that was once delivered unto us by William Branham through the Son of Man. We are doing battle, we are fighting, we are exposing, the devil.

These false prophets are the ones who cause all these problems. "We feel compelled to believe ministers who come to us from the U.S.A." They are the most unspiritual preachers denying the Promise of God. Explaining away the Promises of God. Sit down in their dead condition awaiting Brother Branham's resurrection. Preaching that all is over and make books and they send it through the world and, send it through the internet. Yes, it's only unbelief that you could find from their mouths; it's a cursed nation. Yes sir! you don't have to feel compelled to believe those ministers who come to you from the United States. Why "Because they know the Message?" They don't know nothing about the Message! If they knew about the Message they would not be preaching that all is over, they'll be preaching an Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Yes. They would not sit down and wait for Brother Branham's resurrection. Let that fit where it will! From the Branham Tabernacle come right up to California wherever that fits! All who sit and wait for the resurrection of Brother Branham are idolaters! Yes sir! Idolaters.

They know the Message, and because they met the Prophet, Is that a credential to prove that you are a true servant of God? They forgot that Judas met the Prophet Jesus? They forgot that two million met the Prophet Moses in the wilderness? What happened to these people? They're very forgetful. Judas was right up at the Supper Table and he was the devil incarnated in human flesh. Came from hell and went back to hell. Because they met the Prophet? Seventy others met the Prophet and could not take the revelation of the Son of Man and walked with him no more. (St. John 6:53-66).

So when they bring these "credentials" to you in the Caribbean here or there in Africa, India, wherever you are, and they boast themselves of meeting the Prophet, tell them that Esau met a prophet too onetime, and he was a fornicator, not only met the Prophet, but he was the son of a prophet. Not because you're are a son of a prophet you're a child of God. You could be an incarnated devil like Esau and seek repentance and no repentance given you. Rightly divide the Word of God.

Met the Prophet? You could be a son of a prophet and be a devil. Wasn't Ishmael the son of Abraham, and he was the son of the bondwoman and not heir to the Promise of God?

And it says, "Because they are the five-fold ministry". That's a mouthful. They are the five-fold ministry? Which five-fold ministry? There are two five-fold ministries. One of the devil and one of God. And anyone who preaches these heresies that comes from America, comes from Germany and comes from all those industrialized countries, my beloved, are false prophets. Anything that preaches those things is the devil's five-fold ministry. I make no apology. And as I go along in this lesson I am going to challenge the "five-fold ministry". Yes! Let me send out a challenge right here around the world. I want somebody to show me the five-fold ministry set in order. You cannot show me that. Show me the five-fold ministry set in their respective order and position. You cannot do that. So much for that until I pick it up a little later.

That interpretation is wrong and it's a heresy. Preachers of the United States are the most unspiritual in the world and the proudest in the world! They belong to a cursed nation from where the Spirit of God has taken His flight and has gone into your countries, into Africa and India seeking souls. Brother Branham said that, "The Holy Spirit has taken flight from United States and has gone to foreign lands seeking souls."

Quote: E-56 "The Holy Spirit flew away from us, and She's gone overseas hunting lambs to dwell in." (Making The Valley Full Of Ditches 56-0728).

All you Africans who are fighting to come to America to live, you don't know what you are doing. You are in the best place spiritually. God has a great harvest in Africa, as well as India. And for you to leave Africa because of poverty and want to come to America for better living, you are selling your birthright. Stay right there and hold on to the Message of the Hour. The Lord has poverty in India and Africa in order to soften the people's heart, that when the Seventh Seal is broken to the public and the Ministry goes out that they might receive the revelation, because the heaviness of the heart makes the heart better.

The U.S.A is the seat of the World Council of Churches. Many of these people in the United States don't know anything about the Presence of God, know nothing about the Spirit of God. They have never experienced the Presence of God; the Holy Spirit fled from that nation and went into other nations.

Answer:: No! The divisions are because of the wolves. The divisions are because of the hireling. The divisions are because of the true shepherd separating the sheep from the goat and standing for what is right. That is why we are a hated people here at Bethel. It's not a matter of lack of "growth" is a matter of lack of "birth". Before you grow you got to be born, and the False Anointed One cannot be born again. The rider on the black and white horse cannot be born again. The false prophet cannot be born again if he is born unto condemnation. They are all born from a corruptible seed. They can only grow into more heresy. They can only produce more heretics, but they cannot grow up into the stature of a perfect man.

No! The answer is no! The divisions and contentions in the message are not because of a lack of growth! It's a lack of birth; and many of those preachers who are preaching to those people are not born again. They were born in organization from a corruptible seed. They were born from New York from a corruptible seed. They were born from a corruptible seed that all is over, born from a corruptible seed that there is no more power coming to the bride. They got their birth from a cursed nation over there in America; they got their birth from the false anointed ones. They will never be born again, as long as they are bad seeds.

Are you telling me that Judas failures were because of a lack of growth? Come on preachers; are you telling me the dissension that Judas caused among the apostles was because of a lack of growth. No, it was a lack of birth. And because he was not born again he did not go up to Pentecost because he could not get the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. O yes! That is a heresy.

"Lack of growth."! That's another invention of the love gospel, another invention of Satan to hide the hireling; another invention of Satan to hide the wolf. They try to make it look like "there are divisions on the message, because the people are just a little different in the message and because they didn't get spiritual enough, so it is just a matter of a lack or growth". It is a lack of birth! O yes.

"Lack of growth."! That's another invention of the love gospel, another invention of Satan to hide the hireling; another invention of Satan to hide the wolf. They try to make it look like "there are divisions on the message, because the people are just a little different in the message and because they didn't get spiritual enough, so it is just a matter of a lack or growth". It is a lack of birth! O yes. There is no birth for the false anointed ones, no birth for the children of the wicked one. No spiritual birth for Judas. In all the years that Judas followed the son of man and the message of that hour he was never born again. The reason for his dissension, the reason that he betrayed our Lord Jesus, the reason that he led him to his death is simply because he was not born again. He never went up to Pentecost to receive the token, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit the fullness of God. Judas was false but he was anointed. And somebody may say, "Preacher, these people are anointed." I don't doubt it, but they are false. Look and see what they are preaching. They are false. Jesus said, "You shall know them by their fruits". See the life that they are living, see the condition of their homes, see the condition of their church, check their motives, check their objectives, we see the motives and objectives of Judas!

What was the motive and objective of Judas? Money! He wanted pay for preaching, and it was not coming fast enough, so he stole it from the moneybag. That proves that he was a hireling? He passed being hireling. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Some thinks that Satan does not have a five-fold ministry, only God does. Can you identify such in the scriptures?"

Answer:This is contrary to the Word of God, because we believe that Satan does have a five-fold ministry, as certain as God has a five-fold ministry. To make such statement is heresy and to be working for the kingdom of Satan.

When we go about saying that Satan does not have a five-fold ministry then we allow his servants to stand behind the pulpit and be identified also as God's servants. Therefore this is contrary to the Word of God. The answer to this question is: No! That is not correct. But yes, Satan does have a five-fold ministry in operation in religious circles, organizations and presently around the Message of the Hour.

This is confirmed by scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. Since the dawn of creation of man, there was always a negative and a positive. It started off in the Garden of Eden with two trees; one of Life, the other of Death. Creation itself started off with darkness and then the Lord said, "Let there be light." As certain as there is light there is darkness.

Everything that God does Satan impersonates. In the line of gifts, prophetic gifts, apostolic gifts, pastors, teachers, evangelists, also the five-fold ministry, Satan impersonates that. And right in the Garden of Eden we could see that we had two preachers; one false and one true. God was the first preacher who came there and preached the law unto Adam and Eve. He said, "the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die." (Genesis 2:17). He set laws and commandments. The first gospel of our Lord, he pointed out the negative and the positive. He warned about the Evil Tree and he spoke of the Good Tree that was in the Garden of Eden.

God was the first preacher and Satan was the evil one. I believe that Satan himself has a five-fold ministry in him. Just as the Lord Jesus when he came, he had a five-fold ministry in him. Satan impersonated that five-fold ministry in the New Testament. Definitely there is a five-fold ministry of Satan and a five-fold ministry of the Lord. And right there we could examine what is a good preacher. A good preacher will always point out the Evil Tree. And in the Lord's first sermon to mankind he made sure and he exposed the heretic and his heresy. So from the Garden of Eden we had an exposition of damnable heresies and we had a heretic in the Garden of Eden. Nobody could doubt that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was Satan himself, and the Tree of Life was the Lord Jesus Christ.

So there is a five-fold ministry of Satan and a five-fold ministry of the Lord. The Five-fold ministry of Satan can be identified in the scriptures. In a broad sense and term, our Lord spoke of that in many places in the New Testament. There is no question about the false and the true; there is no question about it. He spoke of the wheat and the tares. The wheat have ministers of God leading them and the tares have the ministers of Satan leading them because they are all children of the devil.

Satan does not only have a five-fold ministry but he has a church, and in Revelation chapter 2 it is called, "Satan's synagogue". So he has a five-fold ministry as well as he has a church, and it can be identified in the scriptures. Matthew 24:24, it was prophesied to be here.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and… if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

On a broad term we have here a ministry of Satan in the end-time. Call them what you want: prophets, apostles, teachers, evangelists, pastors, cardinals, popes, bishops, reverends. It does not matter who they are and what are the credentials behind their names; they are in Satan's service. On a broad scale Matthew 24:24 includes Satan's five-fold ministry. Then we can identify the false apostles in II Corinthians 11:13:

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ." We are all familiar with these scriptures. So we identify false apostles in the scriptures and the five-fold ministry starts first with "false apostles, deceitful workers."

Then we can identify false prophets and teachers:

II Peter 2:1 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies."

We see in 1 John 4:1, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 2:18 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists."

Now anti-Christ is anybody that perverts the Word of God. That takes in your five-fold ministry of Satan in no uncertain terms.

So there are many scriptures that identify this five-fold ministry of Satan, and to bring it down to our understanding; anything that is contrary to the Word of God, any preacher, any lay member, any prophet, any apostle, any teacher, any evangelist, who preaches contrary to the Bible after knowing the truth is a false prophet, false teacher, false evangelist and false pastor. They have filled the radios, they have filled the television, and they have filled the churches.

Anyone who baptizes in Father, Son and Holy Ghost titles is wrong. Anyone who preaches a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost is a false prophet. Anyone who believes in bible school is deceived of the devil. There is no place in the scriptures for bible school. Anyone who believes in preacher's licence is of the devil. Any preacher who stands behind the pulpit and allows the women to wear pants, shorts, mini-skirts, bob their hair and walk on high-heeled shoes belongs to the devil's five-fold ministry. Anyone that preaches on the radio and gives their bank account number and begs the unsaved man for money is a money-Satan, and a Judas. Judas was the first one to start stealing the money from the church. So there is a Devil's five-fold ministry in the scripture that is identified, and you can further identify the true and the false ministers throughout the New Testament.

John the Baptist did battle with them and he called them, "a generation of vipers." (Matthew 3:7). Jesus did battle with them, he said, "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers. Ye are of your father the devil." (Matthew 23:33, John 8:44). Those were the men who formed organizations. Brother Paul fought against them in his day and he called them all kinds of names. But he was speaking about the devil's five-fold ministry, and he is the one that said, "Such are false apostles, deceitful workers".

"Some say that none can identify which minister is false or true in the message, so none should be critical but show love to all?"

Answer:If we cannot identify the false from the true, we are all lost. But the Lord has given us a way to identify the true from the false. So this is a heresy. To say such a thing is a heresy. It is protecting Satan's servants. When a man rises up and says, "Don't be critical of nobody who preaches the message", he is protecting the false anointed ones. He is protecting the servants of Satan, and any man who makes that kind of statement, he himself might be a servant of Satan to protect his own self. That statement is wrong, contrary to the scripture. It's contrary to the written Word of God

There is a way to identify the false from the true. And we as Christians are called to identify these false servants, false five-fold ministry, Satan's servants from the servants of God. The Lord gave us a measuring rod. Jesus himself gave us a measuring rod to identify these servants of the devil. And He said in Matthew 7:15-16, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits." This heresy is saying that, "you cannot know them so then we should not be critical and we should not speak against them; we should wait and see who goes in the Rapture." If we wait and see who goes in the Rapture we are not going anywhere! We must measure every man by what the Lord gave us here - "Ye shall know them by their fruits." This is very simple. Now, He did not only give us a measuring rod to measure the false. No. Hear what He's saying:

"Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." (Matthew 7:15-20).

After he stressed on how to identify the false from the true he reconfirmed it and told us, "Ye shall know them by their fruits."

Now, the priest wants to interpret these fruits as wearing a white gown, not being married, walking softly like a lamb, tell everybody "good morning", speak with a certain voice on the pulpit, sing in Latin, play with babies and charge for burying the dead. These are not the fruits that Jesus was speaking about. If those were the fruits we will all be deceived by the Pope, as he kisses the ground and he lifts his hands and proclaim "peace" upon everybody. These fruits are not good behaviour, although good behaviour is included. But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Now who has a wool coat greater than the Pope and all the former popes through the Seven Church Ages? Their names were "Pope Innocent". That fellow killed more Christians than anybody else. So the coat starts even from their names, then their gowns and then their speech. Sheep's clothing, but inwardly the Popes were ravening wolves, full of murder, full of adultery. The encyclopedias record that without any blush.

So now the fruits that they were bearing were murderous fruits. But then always remember that Jesus said, "They come to you in sheep's clothing." Don't ever be fooled by their personalities, their soft speeches and smiles, because all of it is the "wool coat." The "sheep coat." The gown is the "sheep coat". Those nice talks that the Pope gives and also those priests are actually the "sheep coat." So don't be fooled into thinking that such are the fruits that Jesus was speaking about

The fruits, first of all, start with the Word. It is either that servant of God who is coming to you has the Word of God or he don't have the Word. The fruit is that he would be preaching the Word of God correctly from Genesis to Revelation. Brother John said:

"If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into you house, neither bid him God speed". (2 John 1:10).

"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).

In the Old Testament, they had a way to discern these false prophets and false teachers; that was the Law of Moses. If they were contrary to the Law and the prophets, they could smile how much they could, they could walk how softly they wanted too, they were false.

In the New Testament, these are the guidelines that Brother Paul gave us to discern even an angel from heaven. Brother Paul capitalized upon Jesus measuring rod, (Beware of false prophets). Jesus spoke of false prophets. Paul went on to include the angels from heaven.

Galatians 1:8-9 "But though we…" That includes himself and all the apostles, "…though we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." He was so sure about what he was saying that he said, "As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed".

How do you know the false prophets today from the true prophets? It is laid out in the Scriptures that they would preach contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and they would reject the message of the hour. Why would they reject the message of the hour? They've got to reject the message of the hour, because the message of the hour is contrary to the false doctrine that they are preaching. So we could know them; the Bible said we could know them by their fruits and most importantly is the doctrine that they preach would be contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Perverters of the message of Malachi 4:5-6 identify with it but try to destroy it.

I'm going to use briefly the gospel of Brother Paul to identify false prophets. False prophets baptize in Father, Son and Holy Ghost. You say, "I will have you to know that millions of them right now in the full gospel circles, baptize in father, son and Holy Ghost, preacher, how can you say such a thing that all of them are false?" Every one of them is false. As long as they baptize contrary to the Word of God, they are false. They baptize contrary and they believe in three gods. Anything that believes in a Trinity is heathenism. There is not one Word in the Bible as a Trinity.

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD." (Deuteronomy 6:4),

1 Timothy 3-16, "… great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh." (Jesus Christ).

St John 1:1, 14, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us".

In the dispensations of time, and he was made a man called the Lord Jesus. One God.

The trinity is of the devil. That takes in all organizations that built their doctrine upon the trinity that they got from the pope. Any man who proclaims such is not of God. Anything that builds a bible school, anything that has a preacher's licence, anything that allow a woman to preach, contrary to the scriptures and contrary to the teaching of apostle Paul is of the devil. Brother Paul said in 1 Timothy 2:12, she should not preach; 1 Corinthian 14: 34, he said that she should keep silent in the church. We believe the gospel.

In St John the 10th chapter, 11th verse, our Lord took His time and laid out the qualities of the good shepherd and then he laid out the qualities of the hireling. If you want more knowledge on how to divide these hired preachers, from the true shepherd, then read St John the 10th chapter. Do you think Jesus was wasting time or just felt to talk or something? No! He was laying out something that you and I could follow, to show us how to distinguish the good shepherd from the hireling. And this is worthy of repeating here that the hireling in himself, that's a tricky fellow. There is a shepherd who is a good shepherd and there is a hireling out there in the middle and you have over here the wolf, and Jesus is speaking in Mathew 7-15 of the wolf coming to you in sheep's clothing. But now the hireling is a fellow like Judas, right up here sitting at the supper table. Now we usually pass off this fellow, the hireling, as just false, but if you look at the context, we have a fellow that is radical, which is the wolf, that is on one side, one extreme out here, the wolf, and then we have on this extreme here, the good shepherd, but then in the middle out here, this hireling is a make believer. He is into the gospel for the wool of the sheep, for the milk of the sheep, but he doesn't love the sheep.

You could hear these hirelings on the radio and on the television, and if you doubt me, take St John 10 and examine the radio and television preachers, and examine the preachers from organization. All that they can do is beg for money. 'Hire', you hear that word, 'hire'. He is a hire-ling, and he is working for hire, that is why he begs for money on the radio, he wants his hire.

I heard one man in Woodford Square, Port of Spain one time; a big crowd was gathered, and he said, "If I don't get money I'm not going to preach". And one fellow took a cent, threw it towards him and it fell down and went amongst the people. He went down on his knees and crept in search of the cent, all between the people legs until he found it, and he had a tin cup in which he put it. He preached for a couple minutes and he said he wants more money otherwise he's not preaching. Now that is what you call a real hireling. He preaches for hire without any shame. All the organizations are filled with hirelings, and there are preachers right now handling this message, who are hireling shepherds.

Now notice that this hireling was amongst the sheep, because when the wolf came, he left the sheep and ran. So the sheep were entrusted in his hands, but the wolf was not with the sheep there. The wolf was out there and came and tried to steal the sheep. Yes, but because this hireling is not called of God, as a true shepherd, born again nor filled with the Holy Ghost and don't love the sheep, he went out to save his own life. And that is all that those preachers are concerned with: money and good living. They save there own lives. And Jesus said, "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." (Matthew 16:25). O my, that hireling is a wicked fellow, and Jesus pointed him out.

Now this hireling, by leaving the sheep and standing away from them, he leaves the sheep to the mercy of the wolf. He is a compromiser on the Word of God; compromises the standard of the message, compromises the truths of the message, and compromises the doctrines of the message. That is what we have in the message today. This hireling compromises the message and says that it is okay for sports to enter the church, for the women to wear high-heeled shoes, and these sacks that came out in about 1962 in Trinidad.

When those sacks came out as a fashion in this country, the unsaved people condemned that to the highest, when unsaved people put on those slim skirts and caused it to hug their bodies and where you seen all the movements of the women. In that time, ungodly people condemned that as disgraceful, hypocritical, nasty and considered people who wore those things as prostitutes. And that is what the people in the message have taken up and are now wearing. Brought back a style called the sack from way back in 1962 and even earlier in U.S.A. They are now wearing it as an official Christian dress.

If it was disgraceful then, it is disgraceful now. If it was disgraceful for the unsaved people, it is disgraceful for a Christian so many more times. That's the general wearing of the people in the message and the hirelings, because of his hire, he allows them to bring it in, and compromises with it. So he is a compromiser, and compromised the life of the sheep.

Quote: E-29 "No wonder women are wearing sack dresses and shorts and things like that; they got preachers and deacons like that. It's a meal ticket, in the stead of a commission from God then." (Sign Of The Time 58-0520).

He is a compromiser. Oh, some of you preachers get up and beat him to death. Yes. I have a vengeance for that fellow, since I seen who he is in the scripture in our last message. I did not identify him all the time. I just passed him off without even thinking. I thought he was some kind of a coward preacher or something, but he is a dead hypocrite like Judas. That's the Judas in the message, who changes the holiness standards and everything that goes with it. Qualities of the shepherd and the hireling are clearly seen in the 10th chapter of St. John, and the wolf in sheep clothing in Matthew 7: 15-20. Therefore it is contrary to say that we cannot identify who is true and who is false.

I believe these people's testimony, who say that they cannot identify who is true and who is false. But don't mix up the church of Jesus Christ in it. Anytime a church or a minister cannot identify who is true or false by the Word of God, he is deceived of the devil already. So the confession of their heresy may be correct for them, and they are afraid to say who is false and who is true because they have no revelation, they are not born again, they are void of the Spirit of God, and they are sitting under hirelings that have them blinded.

If you sit under a hireling he would preach the love gospel to you, and say, "Don't be critical, because we don't know who is who yet. We've got to wait and see who goes in the rapture". By the time you wait to see who goes in the rapture, you'll find yourself in the tribulation, friend. You'd better know who is who here.

How could a man say such a thing? Every prophet that was sent upon earth, beginning from the first preacher in the Garden of Eden, was to point out the false. And the very reason that God sent William Branham was to show us how to identify which is false and which is true. This is madness! This has got to be an invention of a hireling to protect his own self. It's got to be an invention from the pit of hell. Yes. It's got to be an item of the love gospel.
