"Are there seven seals for the gentiles and seven for the Jews? Some are preaching this privately."

Quote: 22-3 "All the mysteries of the entire Bible lays in the Seven Seals…It's the mystery of the entire Book laid in those Seven Seals. (Souls In Prison Now 63-1110m).

"Will Moses and Elijah reveal that second set of seven seals, as some indicate?"

Quote: 24-3 "When these Seven Seals was opened, that opened up the entire Bible. The Seven Seals, it was sealed with Seven Mysteries. And in these Seven Seals, held the entire mystery of it." (Souls In Prison Now 63-1110m).

Quote: 24 "The message of the Seven Seals,…that's the message of the entire Bible. (He That Is In You 63-1110e).

Quote: 432-5 {293} "They opened that Sixth Seal. They have power to do it. Amen.?" (The sixth seal _ 63-0323).

"Are the Trumpets the last set of seven seals to be revealed by Moses and Elias, as indicated on a forum?"

Quote: 36-5 "Now, when is the Gospel returning to the Jews? When the day of the Gentiles is finished. The Gospel is ready to go back to the Jews… As the Jews brought the message to the Gentiles, even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews, and the Rapture will come." (Church ages book).

Quote: 16 "I got the Seven Trumpets, I believe, coming up which ties right in on the Sixth Seal. When the Sixth Seal sounded all Seven Trumpets went off at once." (What Shall I Do With Jesus 63-1124m).

Similar quotations can be found on Recognizing your day 64-0726 and Souls In Prison Now 63-1110m.

The seven Trumpets are not the second set of Seals, as they do not exist. The seven trumpets were opened under the sixth seal. They hold the judgments of God. Therefore there is no room for a second set of Seals.

"Do the seven seals have anything to do with the trail of the serpent seed, which Brother Branham was not allowed to preach, by the Lord? Is it homosexuality, as thunder groups preach?"

The same devil that incarnated itself in the serpent, now will be incarnated in a man, in the end time, yeah, for a one world government. Yes where we will have a one world religion and a one world government, and Satan incarnates himself in that man who is called "the man of sin," the "anti-christ." Yes now in the end-time the world today is afraid of "the anti-christ." They are afraid of "the beast", and they are afraid of the mark beast, but they don't understand where it is coming from. So now that was going to be made pretty clear and bring this thing right down in the end-time to show that, the beast in the beginning was the beast in the end-time.

Through respect to the mighty prophet of God, beloved, I would not entitle a message called "the trail of the serpent." No, the Lord hid that for a certain reason, yes, but by his grace the Lord has given me an understanding of "the trail of the serpent." And this question is asking here "Is the trail of the serpent homosexuality?" In other words anybody that practices homosexuality belong to the serpent's race; the serpent breed. This here is heresy it's nonsensical and if the Prophet of God never said that, nobody has any right to say that The Prophet of God did not identify the trail of the serpent with homosexuality, no. Do you know that brother Paul said that sometimes we, the converts were effeminate, abusers of ourselves with mankind, fornicators, adulterers, but now we are washed now we are cleaned. In other words, as long as a man is here upon earth, he is subject to the passions of the flesh, yes and with out Christ and without the Holy Spirit and a born again nature, he could fall to the degradations of such sins. If you take this doctrine as the seed of the serpent, then a lot of people will be condemned. It is not the trail of the serpent, it's a million miles away from the trail of the serpent, yes. It is not homosexuality.

Where this arose from, I was told by personal witnesses in the United States, is that when the prophet of God announced that he was going to preach "the trail of the serpent"; there was one fellow, with his bright head, who heard the title. He went to his church in New York and he announced that "I am going to preach the trail of the serpent." Anytime you run ahead of the prophet of God, you are full of ambition, full of pride, without reverence, and without respect. Now, that's the same man, friends, who ran ahead of the message of the hour and tried to interpret the Seven Thunders. That same man, in New York tried to interpret the Seven Thunders when the prophet of God said "it is not revealed." So, now this man went ahead and preached, "the trail of the serpent" and he brought it right down showing you that homosexuality was the trail of the serpent and this is how you identified the serpent seed, "rubbish." The trail of the serpent is far greater than that. The prophet of God gave certain hints right in there to give you an understanding, right in the beginning he said "it's the beast in the beginning and the beast in the end-time" that is plenty information.

So, now the question is, "Do the seals relate to the trail of the serpent?" Absolutely! Absolutely! The prophet could not preach "the trail of the serpent" until the seals were opened. So now, what is the seals then? Let us compare what is the seals. Now, the seals is the trail of the serpent. Don't you know the opening of the seals trailed the serpent from the nicolaitan spirit right down to the incarnation of the devil in a human being. So, the trail of the serpent and the seals go hand in hand. What is the opening of the seals? It's the trail of the serpent. The first four horse riders showed you the anti-christ and it showed you how the anti-christ came in to corrupt the truth and corrupt the church, and to conquer the souls of men for two thousand years. Those four horse riders rode from the early days of the gospel and they will end up on the fourth horse called the pale horse. Yes, the devil incarnated in a human being that sits as world ruler. He will be over all religions and he will be over all governments. Does that bring us to the end? Alright, now the prophet of God was going to take that serpent in Genesis and bring him straight to the supper table and then put Judas right there in a human being the devil incarnated in a man and take him from there and bring him down to the end-time.

So now it includes the seals, and the seals were opened to help the bride to trail the serpent. On the 21st to the 28th of March 2004 we will trail the serpent one more time to show you how he works and how he behaves, in order that the eyes of the bride will be opened. So the seals have it's connection in the trail of the serpent. May I include here, that brother Branham was not allowed to preach "the trail of the serpent" because there is something very technical there and that is, the serpent had to ride a little more. He had to crawl in a little more out of the organization and get in the message with the false anointed ones. That could only happen after the seals. After the seals, the false anointed ones were loosed to come and pervert the message of the hour. Now the prophet was not allowed to preach it, because Satan must be given allowance to pervert the message, until it comes down to the place where it is properly perverted. Yes and Satan manifests himself as the false anointed one and the false christ in the message. Then, the bride will go out with "the trail of the serpent", to the entire world to show how the serpent crept in under the message. Oh, beloved may I put in one little pebble here again. That ministry, to trail the serpent and to expose the serpent to the rest of the bride around the world was hidden under the seventh seal, that is why the seventh seal was not opened. Oh yes! The Lord reserved the secret weapon. Yes! Oh my! Oh my! Yes, it says "And He shall destroy him by the brightness of His coming. Yes, "He shall destroy him by the brightness of His coming. Yes! Oh my, I tell you, it's so wonderful! Thank God for an ear to hear, eyes to see, and hearts to understand. Yes. "For unto you it is given to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven; but unto them in parables." Oh my! Trail of the serpent! Yes! So if you are looking for that reference at any time;

Quote: 136 "When I go home this time, I'm preaching on the subject, "The Trail of the Serpent": the beast at the beginning, and the beast at the end, and trail him right through the Bible, and show how he heads up.

…And now, just watch how cunning that fellow is... they're just like Judas and Jesus there, both brothers in the tribe, just like Esau and Jacob. And like the crow and the dove setting on the same roost. And everything is a twin and--in this great warfare that we're in. The enemy uses deception, like he did to Eve…Trying to reason it beyond what God said originally…So don't never be deceived by that." (Power of transformation 65-1031m).

Quote: 87 "The Beast at the Beginning and the Beast at the End, Through the Trail of a Serpent. See?... The beast from the beginning, he was the beast at the garden of Eden; he's the beast at the end, and show that he's a religious person and a denomination (that made the denomination); and come right through the trail of it, and prove it to you by the Scriptures that it is. I didn't know that till the Holy Spirit give it to me the other day up there." (Trying To Do God A Service 65-1127b).

God revealed to the prophet, the trail of the serpent, after 1963. Yes. So there we are. So, those are the quotations, and the prophet of God never did preach that message. It was for a good reason. It will be preached when the Bride needs it. Yes! Do you know that is how the Bride, the people of God, the elect of God is delivered? Yes, by identifying falsehood, by identifying a false spirit, false Christ, false doctrine, and false teachings? Then after that, they spring to life and they are delivered. Yes, God has something planned for the deliverance of the rest of the Bride members around the world. Alright!

"Some say, what Brother Branham said after the seals is inspired, but what he said before was not inspired and should be ignored."

Don't you realize friend, that when a man speaks such blasphemies, that "all what the prophet of God said before the Seals were opened, was not inspired," but only those things after 1963 were inspired," don't you know that he is getting rid of the Holiness Message? Now, this here is an old heresy. It may be new to you, but this is an old heresy. This doctrine came up a long time ago. Now, anytime you want to divide the Message in two: one part is not inspired and the next part is inspired, you are trying to get rid of the Holiness Message, and anything that will try to get rid of the Holiness Message, is the Devil, and is Satanic.

Don't you realize that before 1963, the prophet of God came with a Holiness Message? [Congregation says, "Yes!"] Yes, and that holiness message was to clear the way, clear the hearts of the people, also make them ready to see the coming of the Lord, and to see what was hidden under the seals. Yes, just like John the Baptist who was sent as a forerunner, William Branham was sent as a forerunner, and John the Baptist said that he was clearing the way, he was making the path straight. He was telling the people how to live holy, how to act holy, how to be honest with one another, that when the Messiah comes they will be able to see the Messiah.

Anybody who will rise up and preach that kind of doctrine is trying to take the people to hell. It is Holiness or hell, "without Holiness no man shall see the Lord". Don't you realize that when a man says something like that he is saying to put away the Church Age book because the Church Ages was preached in 1960. That is to get rid of Daniel Seventy weeks. Don't you know the church age was preached and Daniel seventy week was preached in order that we understand the seals? So any demon that will arise like that and say "okay that inspiration was not before 1963", he is trying to take you down to hell. He takes away the Holiness message. He takes away the Church Ages. He takes away Daniel seventy weeks and he takes away water baptism in Jesus Christ name. He takes away the Godhead, takes away 'a woman should not preach' I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man (1 Timothy 2 & 12). Scripture for God is one and not a trinity (St John 4:24) Don't you know any demon that will say such things is trying to send you back into the world to wear pants as a woman and cut your hair off? Because all these Holiness standards were established before 1963 and the Prophet fought with organization, fought with the women, fought with the entire world from1933 to 1963 trying to make a way that they will see the opening of the seals. Any man who will arise and say such things is a heretic, anti-Christ, not sent of God, specially born for a certain purpose in the end-time as a false anointed one to deceive the bride. This is a heresy, this is madness.

Quote: E-104 "That's why we preach the Gospel. We believe it's not us. We're inspired to preach those things, the Holy Spirit speaking through us…it's the inspiration of the Holy Spirit." (Unchangeable God 62-0120).

Who do we believe? I believe the prophet. In 1962, in "Unchangeable God" he said that those things that he was preaching and the church was preaching and other ministers were preaching were inspired of God.

Quote: E-5 "Sometimes you hear me cutting; and really I go home and set down, and sometimes pick up one of those tapes, and say, "Surely, I didn't say that. Surely, I couldn't have said that." And then I think, "Well, what I have said, I have said, and it was--it was under inspiration, as far as I know inspiration." So I'm never ashamed of it. (One of the Meanest Men in Town 61-0429).

Now, I guess this happens to every preacher you hear that is under inspiration, you could say things that you don't want to normally say, and as a result of that I seldom listen to my tapes, my voice sound so rough, it is so cutting, boy I tell you I turn away I say shut it off I don't like to hear that fellow; but then I conclude I say love is corrective, somebody is benefiting. I didn't know that Brother Branham said that, so I get a little more strength. Yeah what I have said, I have said, it was under inspiration and he further said I am not ashamed of it as long as it is in the scripture we are not ashamed of it. So sometimes, in order to tell truth beloved, you become a scapegoat to the world, you become a rejected and hated, despised, criticized person but then what you have said you have said. God have given me that blessing that as long as I know that I speak the truth, say what you want about me, publish me in the papers broadcast me on the net that don't worry Bruce a bit, because he said blessed are ye when all men shall revile you and shall persecute you for my name sake, rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven.

God has given me that, he has given me a forgiving heart, he has taken away the bitterness and the root of bitterness from my heart many years ago, and I believe many of you could testify the same for you. If you are a Christian and you have bitterness and you can't forgive, and you bear malice and hatred and you will carry an offence right down the road for weeks and months and years beware, Christians, that is not the spirit of Christ. The spirit of Christ on the cross; he said forgive them father, for they know not what they do. That spirit came down in another little man called Stephen and what happened at his dying point he said lay not this sin to their charge, now that is Christianity. Now if you have that down in you, Brother.

Some people they have natures that are vindictive. They want to get even with you until you die, on account of that, they will not even cry at your funereal, because your death appeases them. Now that is not a Christian spirit friend. A Christian spirit is ready to forgive, the bible says let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Whether somebody comes and repents to you or not or ask your forgiveness; your duty as a Christian is to lay aside the matter, settle the matter. That is the spirit of Christ, that's the right attitude, yes, my friends and then you could have confidence under those conditions; you could have confidence that you are a Christian, and you know God bears witness to that kind of an attitude that he blesses you in your heart, when you have that kind of attitude. You can't make up that, you can't say I forgive you, and in your heart you bear malice, and you're pinching a fellow from underneath, you know. Well Brother, I forgive you, "one pinch", you take a needle and stick him, yea, it got to be genuine. God must put that in your heart, this root of bitterness that man has in his heart is a terrible thing you know. It only takes God to root that out of there, and when I see that running in a Christian and they can't forgive and they bear malice and they are vindictive, oh my, Brother, they don't like something from the pulpit and they will go out and get together with their family and speak a lot of things. Somebody offends them and the whole household knows. Something is wrong there friends, correct that spirit, Brother, correct that attitude that does not reflect Christ.

So there we are on that question, everything before the first coming of the Lord was inspired, and, after the coming of the Lord, it was also inspired. Brother Paul said that all scripture is given by inspiration, the seals represent the coming of the Lord, everything that the Prophet spoke before that was inspired, and after that was also inspired. And I am saying this in relation to the message, all scripture is given by inspiration of God.

Question#340:

Heretical Article No. 229:

"Some say that Brother Branham said that the seventh seal was not opened, just to throw off the people. Is this true?"

Quote: 567-1 {322} "Now, notice. So help me, by God I tell the truth…Now, what this great secret is that lays beneath this Seal, I do not know. I don't know it. I couldn't make it out. I couldn't tell it, just what it and just what it said. (The Seventh Seal 63-0324e).

Now does that sound like a "throw off" to you? [Congregation says, "No!"] Beloved, that is a man who is deadly honest and he is repeating himself in so many other words to tell you that the seal is not revealed. Now this here is the work of the false anointed ones and these interpreters that were born unto condemnation to misinterpret the truth that came by the seals, so, the only way that they could have their way, is to say that Brother Branham said that the seventh seal was not opened, to "throw off" the people. Brother, if that statement is a "throw off", then the whole message of Brother Branham is a "throw off", and the whole bible is a "throw off", don't you realize that this statement here, the Prophet of God made is just like Jesus, verily, verily, truly, truly, absolutely, absolutely, I say unto you ye must be born again. Hear the words of the Prophet, "so help me by God, I tell the truth". In other words he was speaking to the people in the name of the Lord, actually coming to a place of swearing, but he is saying something under oath, "So help me by God I tell the truth that what is under the seventh seal I do not know! I don't know it, I couldn't make it out, I couldn't tell just what it said." Do you want something better than that? The people that make such statements want to have their own way and say that it is revealed when the Prophet said it is not revealed they have their big brains, intellectualism. They are children of disobedience, following a spirit of error, so they want to say what the Prophet of God said not to do.

In order for the false anointed ones to have their way, they got to bring up this heresy here and say, "Do you know Brother Branham only said those fifty quotations or sixty quotations from 1963 to 1965 to throw off the people?" They don't know anything about throwing off people. How does a minister throw off people? How the Prophet throws off people? We just read it in Matthew 13; (he speak to them in parables). He spoke to them in parables, in dark sentences. The prophet of God never spoke a parable here friend, no, he spoke plainly. When a Prophet has to throw off somebody, to hide something from you because he doesn't want it to become common or broadcast it, he does not want the wrong people, with the wrong spirit, catch a hold of it and make a cult of it, then he speaks in parables. We just read the lesson from Matthew 13; I speak to them in parables because they have closed their eyes, seeing they see not, hearing they hear not, and they cannot understand. He said, "I will put in a little clause, here lest they be converted. In other words lest they have a change of mind and would start seeking me, I will open their ears and I will open their eyes. This is how the Lord hides something. The person who is making this heresy doesn't understand the basic scriptures of the prophet hiding something from the congregation. I will show you right in the message of Brother Branham certain things, the way he said that to hide them, right there in the message, right along. Give me one instance Brother Bruce where the Prophet of God was trying to hold a vital revelation? When he spoke of the seventh seal he said, "Now let us assume there is a listening post, and inside of that listening post is a crystal. He said, "There are radio voices, and there are angelic voices and all kinds of voices going on here. He said, "You see, it got to hit the crystal here to reflect, the true interpretation, now, that is hiding the revelation. That statement, people never woke up to it until ten years after.

Then you started finding people rising up as eighth messenger, "the man to bring the true interpretation." In 1973, 74, they caught a hold. You got to hit a crystal to bring the correct interpretation, now that's a parable in modern terms. So it hid it even a little more, than Jesus saying a sower went forth to sow seeds and all these kinds of things. The prophet of God used modern, scientific terms to speak his parables. So now when people look for truths to be hidden today in that form of the parable that Jesus spoke, they miss them. A man of God will speak today in the modern terms and it is even more hidden and you sit right there and you want to know what he is talking about, radio? television? I know all about radio and television. You know nothing, there is something hidden inside of there that he is trying to say. So the prophet of God was not saying in the seven seal anything to throw off anybody.

Hear what the Lord allowed the prophet to do. This is where they got this quotation, see if it says anything about seventh seal in here, listen to this carefully.

Quote: 21 "It's a thing sometime... We have to say things in such a way, that it might thin down, it might bring some to go out, some to leave, and some to ponder over. But that's done purposely. It must be done that way. Then it might be that some would say, "You mean God would purposely do a thing like that?" He certainly did. He does yet. He said one day, when He had thousands around Him; He said, "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of God, Son of man, and drink His Blood, you have no Life in you."…And the whole audience walked away from Him… And Jesus said that to weed down His crowd (See?)" (Unveiling of God 64-0614M).

Brethren there is nothing like seventh seal in there. This here is true, that certain things were said by our Lord, by the Apostle Paul and it is yet in the same fashion today he said he does yet, Jesus does that yet and certain things are said in certain ways in order to thin down the crowd, people with the wrong heart, people with the wrong motives, people with the wrong kinds of thinking entirely. Yes, they got vexed and went away, and the elect stayed right there. He does not understand, but he ponders. And he drew the reference of Jesus saying, "Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you". Jesus never stopped to explain that. Now, that is the way a man of God thins down the crowd. The prophet of God thinned down the crowd. He said something that is very hard, that cannot be comprehended by the intellectual mind.

So now, the fellow with the wrong spirit who has not humbled himself to learn will get mad and say, "How could he say that? He should have explained himself." He gets mad and goes out. Then, the seventy preachers left and the big crowd left him, 6th chapter of John, and Jesus turned around and said; would you also go away and leave me? They said, "To whom shall we go for thou has the words of eternal life". In other words, they never understood that statement, but, they knew that if this man was of God and He was the coming of the Lord. "He was the Prophet of the age, he was my pastor that was sent to me, then they accepted that. Later on, the revelation will come but they have confidence in this man of God, this message, this Prophet, this gift, that was sent to me", so now it caused Peter and they to ponder, so they pondered. Later on, they knew what that was and all those intellectuals started talking about "we cannot be cannibals, to eat this man's flesh and drink this man's blood. Think of a nurse standing there! Think, my brother, of a doctor there, think of those intellectual people. "What! This is a cult. I now find out today, that it is a cult. He wants to give me his flesh and blood to eat and drink? I can't make that!" Later on, he said in another scripture, "for my flesh is meat and my blood is drink indeed". So, beloved, all that he was talking about there is the Word that He was preaching and the spirit of God coming upon Him that is all that He was saying. Nothing more, but He said it in such a way, he seen multitudes following Him. He said, "except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you". He closed his bible and said, "Amen". He looked around like that and the Bible said, "And no man followed him". Now he was no chickfeed preacher, to run back and say, "now, now, brethren, this is what I really meant to say, excuse me. I should have explained myself. "No, No let them go. They went out of us because they were not of us, if they were of us they would have continued with us".

Beloved to get a revelation and enter into eternal life you must humble your heart to them that are sent unto you. You must be a sheep willing to be led. That is the only way that you will enter in. The prophet actually said that. Did you see anything like seventh seal in there? He was not relating that to the seventh seal, no, they took that and related it to the seventh seal. When Brother Branham spoke of the seventh seal not being revealed, it was something entirely different. Now, these are old heresies, this sounds new to some of you doesn't it? They didn't rise up yesterday. Friend, these are the heresies that the man called Robert Lambert fought against as one single human being, since the days of the prophet until he was murdered for it. He was murdered for standing against those heresies. Now imagine, since that time how many heresies were formed and how much more they were magnified and spread across the world? These are the things that Brother Lambert fought against. There was only one man that was fighting all this trash of "all is over" and all these heresies. He was the first martyr for the message.

"Brother Branham said that the Bible became a new book. Does that mean that the Bible is now the Spoken Word books?"

I want to lay emphasis on this my brother, absolutely not! There is no book in the whole world that could replace the Bible. The Bible was written by the finger of God, Himself. That is the Book which will judge the whole world. On the Day of Judgment, when the Lord brings up mankind, in the Second Resurrection, He is not going to bring a strange book from somewhere. God is going to bring a book that everybody was familiar with. If He does not do that, then He will be an unjust God.

The Bible is that great Book that would judge the world and, it is blasphemy for anyone to say that the Spoken Word books have become the Bible. For years now, since 1965, 1966, 1967 preachers lay out the Spoken Word books on the pulpit. That is the devil that brings up that heresy to create a wrong impression in the minds of sincere people, they say; here is the Bible, and lay one Spoken Word book after the next. Then they will quote from here, quote from there, like a parrot, without understanding what they are saying. Now what do you think people, in the organization, who hears such trash will think? Do you think that they will be encouraged to come around this message? No. Do you think they could call this the truth, when they hear such nonsense? Now who do you think will do something like that? Do you think a Son of God will do that? No. It is a false-anointed one, crept into the message, born unto condemnation. And, in order to bring up a reproach on the message and reproach on William Branham, the devil does that. The devil does that in order to nasty the name of the message to cause people to brand it as a cult. A son of God would not do such nonsense and even though he has done that, then when his eyes become open, he repents.

A man will now speak about the Spoken Word as the Bible and put aside his Bible. They no longer preach from the bible. The followers of Malachi 4 do not know the scriptures. Brother Branham did not address the majority of the scriptures. He did not have the time. Brother Branham preached a perfect revelation that is contained in the Bible. This revelation is on the Spoken Word books and on the tapes, so automatically he preached the entire bible from Genesis to Revelation, but never addressed every scripture. When you understand the revelation that he brought then you are able to take it from Genesis and bring it right down to Revelation and preach scriptures that he never preached.

When you preach that revelation, you do not contradict his revelation because that revelation came from God. Now those nasty hands, filthy hands, anointed of the devil, heretics and false prophets, which were supposed to have been born in the end time, were sent of the devil to misconstrue the Word of God. After doing that, they lived nasty lives of adultery and fornication. They 'ran away' with a man's wife and defiled the young ladies in the church. They smoked cigarettes and did all the things that the Holiness Message says not to do. They told the people that the Holiness Message was not inspired of God.

Now that is an incarnated devil, friends, sent in amongst the message people to nasty the name of the Message. Those Organizational Preachers love that - in order to secure their members now, they blame it all on the Message and Brother Branham. These Organisational Preachers try to get the people scared by branding this Message as a cult. It is not a cult, this is the truth.

God sent a prophet to the world and the Bible is now opened up. We are hearing things that were kept secret from the foundation of the world. We are thankful. This has transformed our lives from being marijuana smokers. There is a power of God that comes in here that takes away our evil habits. It takes away our bad tempers, it saves the men and women from living in adultery. It puts a nice spirit upon them and fills their hearts with love. My beloved what do they want again?

When you meet people, and they say that you belong to a cult, then ask them what are the cult practices. Just ask them that question and you will see that they shut up, right away. Let them name one or two cult practices. Say to them: I want to invite you, if you have never visited. Come and visit the assembly and for the sake of my deliverance, point out to me the cult practices. You will see those accusers immediately back up and shut up.

I want to know what cult practices that we have here? We come in early and worship our God. We sing and hear music that they do not have in the world. People confess their sins before Almighty God. They do not have to confess that before a priest. We take the Bible and preach directly from it. If someone lives in fornication or adultery, they are disciplined. If someone misbehaves in another way, we discipline them. I want to know what the cult practices are.

It is only a name that the devil has devised for true worshippers of God, to scare the people, like when they called Jesus Beelzebub. If Jesus had turned to them and say, "What is the obeah that I am working? Show me how many candles I burn, show me the witchcraft I have performed. Have you ever found me in the cemetery yet? Show me the obeah book that I am reading. Those people would have backed up right away. It was a nasty name that they tagged upon the Lord. That is the same way today - it is the strategy of the devil. When Brother Branham said that the Bible became a new book, he was not speaking of the Spoken Word book. No friends.

Quote: 77 "But since the opening of those Seven Seals…This has become a new Book. It's the things that's been hid is being revealed as God promised in Revelations 10 He would do it. And we are the privileged…that we might see and understand these things." (God's power to transform 65-0911

Do you understand that it was not that the Bible became the Spoken Word book but rather it was a new understanding that the prophet got? [Congregation says Amen] The Bible became a new book because of the way that he now understood the Bible. Before that time, he understood the Bible in a certain way but now he had more understanding and the Bible became a new book to him. Now we could make the statement, after these last meetings, because we understood things we never understood before. We could have the same testimony, and say, "Man, the Bible has become a new Book to me.

Quote: 42 "And until you come in behind that badger skin, until you get out of your old skin, your old thoughts, your old creeds, and come into the Presence of God; then the Word becomes a living reality to you; then you're awakened to the Shekinah Glory; then the Bible becomes a new Book, then Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever… But you must come in, to behind the veil to see the unveiled God. And God is unveiled; that's His Word made manifest." (Identified Christ Of All Ages 64-0617).

That is how the Bible becomes a new book. When you see God behind the veil the Bible becomes a new book. Something happened at the opening of the seals that the prophet said that "I could never be the same man again, I could never think the same way again." Yes it was the unveiling of God. So mister heretic, don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense about the Bible becoming the spoken word book or any book in the world. Now do you know from normal survey, worldly survey that there is not another book in the world that is written like the Bible and most writers and authorities have confirmed that. That there is not a book so penned like the Bible! There is no author that is able to write a book like the Bible, without contradiction from Genesis to Revelation! One of the mysteries of the Bible is that forty men wrote it in the course of so many thousands of years and they never contradicted one another; never met one another; never taught one another! Isn't that a miracle? I tell you, the Bible is a miracle! My God! I could stop now and talk about the blessed book. Think of the poems in it, think of the way that Job coined his words. Think of the glorious proverbs, that king Solomon wrote. Think of the psalms that David put together, which included prophecy! Think of the wonderful history book it is. It is a book of history, it's a book of knowledge, a book of psychology; yeah it's a book of prophecy way down to the book of revelation. Who could write such a book? There isn't a man in the world that could write such a book. The Bible is yet the number one seller. As bad as man is, he wants a Bible friend! When they are in trouble they go to the Bible. Even to work witchcraft; they want a Bible!

My Lord! Yes. One song writer said "The word of The Lord is like a hammer it breaketh the rock in twain! A sword that hath two edges! A mirror myself to see! Yes it is the book of books the B-I-B-L-E!" Yes it is the book of books, yeah I love it! Yes I love it.

I respect my bible brothers and sisters! I love my bible, I cherish my bible! Nobody should put anything on top my bible! No other book should go on top my bible! I must not hold my bible with nasty hands! I must not pick up my bible without reverence yes; and I must not treat it like an ordinary book when I read it! No! I realize that it represents Gods message to me! It represents salvation to my soul; I must not throw it here and there. Oh my Lord, thank you Saviour.

"Has the last elect for the seventh church age been baptized into the Body of Christ?"

"Is the last member not yet baptized into the Body for the Bride age, but only for the seventh church age?"

I am going to elaborate on this subject, for the edification of his followers and for the edification of those that are deceived by this damnable heresy. He further states that, "There is no physical return of the Lord Jesus Christ for the rapture. He has already come and he only came in his presence Parousia." Parousia just mean the presence of the Lord. So this man made a damnable heresy and explained away the physical return of the Lord the second time (See Question & Answer 322). He divided these baptisms for the seven church ages and that section closed of and this section here opened up now for the bride perfect. You are mixed up in your head my friend, yeah. And you may not want to preach a heresy; but this is damnable heresy! Yes, damnable heresy, it's terrible! Yes.

There is no scripture for a baptism in every age. We want you to show us in history where such baptisms was ever recorded, because history record where an outpouring came on the day of Pentecost, and also when so-called Pentecost received the restoration of the gifts in 1906.

When did the baptism come for the Bride age? Don't be ignorant enough to tell me that it came at the seals, because you yourself are establishing that it was the coming of the Lord. A full baptism, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, follows the coming of the Lord like it did on the day of Pentecost. The Word is not the baptism, and the Bride could not be baptized by the Word. They are two separate events.

Quote: E-5 "It may be that the last member of the body of Christ will be added right here in Louisiana, and then the doors will be closed. We don't know just what, Lord. We're just moving cautiously, watching every move." (Sirs We Would See Jesus 64-0318).

Quote: 49-2 "And when the last member is received into the Body, Christ will come. "

Quote: E-117 "the last member will be caught up one of these days." (God hiding in simplicity 63-0412E).

We want to observe very carefully here, how cunning, deceptive and diabolical that a heresy is, when formulated by Satan himself. All that this deluded brother is trying to prove is that the blood left the mercy seat. To explain away that the Blood is yet on the mercy seat, Christ is still a mediator, and that He leaves the altar of sacrifice, only when the last member is baptized by the Holy Ghost into the Body, prior to the rapture, this spirit of error, explained away the promise of God, propagated that there are seven baptisms for the seven church ages, and a special one for the Bride age. In so doing, Brother Branham's statements are explained away, and this gross heresy is established. But every quotation concerning the last soul going into the Body, before the sacrifice leaves the altar, bears witness against this heresy. Brother Branham specified that when the real revelation happens, he is not a mediator then not in 1963 but when it happens in reality

Quote: 124-5 {51} "when the real revelation happens on the Seals as they begin to break, the Lamb is coming forth from the sanctuary…He's not a Mediator then." (The First Seal 63-0318).

Quote: "Christ has to stay on the Mediatorial seat back there as an intercessor until that last one comes in at the last age." (Seals Book 18-24/3/63 Pg.132).

Quote: 92 "Now, is the day of mercy…And the reason today that there is mercy, is because the mercy seat is sprinkled with an atonement: Blood. And as long as Blood is on the judgment seat then it is not judgment no more; it's mercy…But when the church is raptured, the mercy seat becomes a judgment seat. (Rev.Chap.4.Pt.3.Throne.Mercy 61-0108).

The prophet never specified Laodicean age, because he said that the rapture will take place after. So he could not be speaking about the Laodicean church age, because the rapture didn't take place then. But he specified "last age", and the seventh church age is not the last age but the bride age

Quote: "When the Lamb Leaves the Throne yonder and his days of mediatorial work and takes the book of Redemption and walks forth every, knee will bow." (Seals Book 18-24/3/63 Pg.152-153).

Every knee never bowed in 1963.

Quote: "God caught it up into Heaven and he sat on his throne. That is where Christ is now till the time appointed." (Seals Book 18-24/3/63 Pg.166).

Quote: E-2 "the great ivory throne of God. There as we see the Blood of the Lord Jesus laying there upon the altar to make sure that our request is answered." (Greater than Solomon is Here Now 63-0605).

Quote: E-2 "Your great altar where His Blood is there speaking for us in our behalf." (When Their Eyes Were Opened 64-0416).

Quote: 211 "I'm bringing them to that altar… where between us and Great Jehovah is the Blood of His Son, Jesus." (Masterpiece 64-0705).

After the seals, Brother Branham is emphatically stating, that the Blood is there, now, upon the altar. He specified altar and not 'Word', nor 'hearts of preachers.' This deluded brother is saying it is not there. Who are we to believe him or the prophet? Even at the opening of the seals, the prophet said "Christ is upon the altar now.

Other projections, which can be found on 'Believers' Newsletter #005', are that "the rapture started in 1963 (see question & answers 354), John the divine is the Bride, Christ is a mediator only while the Bible was sealed, they had a part Word, birth in the seven church ages, but part Word cannot give the new birth after seals." Does a woman conceive by part of the male germ? 1 Peter 1: 23, being born again of the incorruptible seed. Is this speaking of part Word or the full Word?

Similar quotations can be found on: Perseverant 63-0802, Investments 62-1124, The First Seal 63-0318, The Second Seal 63-0319."

This is in direct contradiction to the message there is a last age and that age is called the bride age, and it is called the eternal age and Christ must stay on the altar of sacrifice until that last one comes for the last age.

When people fail to repent, it proves that they are not children of God. I hope that this brother is not in this category. Repent precious brother while the blood is yet on the mercy seat!

"After the preaching of the seals, in many places Brother Branham said that "he opened the seven seals"; did he mean that he opened all seven seals in 1963?"

"Remember the Seven Seals is finished and when those Seven truths, oh one of them he wouldn't permit us to know." (Souls in Prison-1963)

"The seven seal has perfectly been revealed." Unquote.

This is what the intellectual will think. The seven seals has perfectly been revealed. The intellectual will take that and run and leave the rest. But we are quoting the rest.

"Waiting now for the seven mysteries right at the last, at the coming of the Lord and the rapture of the church-it might happen before morning." (Warning then Judgment-1963)

26-4 "That Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you know; that's His coming." (Feast of the trumpets 64-0719M).

On feast of the trumpets, souls in prisons and different quotations, he could not say emphatically on the seven seals, that it was not revealed, it is not revealed and say that right through until he died, and when he said seven seals was opened the other day contradict himself, no he could not do that, so he knew what he was talking about and when he caught himself he would say you know one of them he hid from us. Brother Branham was a common man, and we are common people, we understand one another by our common language, we communicate with one another in a simple and a common way, now when these great intellectual giants will come and try and put grammar in there, and put in this in there and you know analyze the message, by some kind of a scientific means. Then they twist the message, so the false anointed ones come in there with his great intellectual mind and twist it from the simplicity that is in Christ , you know brother Paul spoke of that he said, "There are certain men who have explained away the simplicity of Christ," and they make the gospel so complicated to understand you have to pay when you did, you have to pay for the dedication of the babies, you have to buy prayers. How much money you pay, that is the kind of burial you will have. Yes, you have to pay money after you die; your family must pay money after you die to take you out of Hell. Yes!

"Many preach that Brother Branham fulfilled Revelation 10:1-7, is this so?"

Quote: 74-2 {40} "And when the Seals are broke and the mystery is revealed, down comes the Angel, the Messenger, Christ, setting His foot upon the land and upon the sea with a rainbow over His head. Now remember, this seventh angel is on earth at the time of this coming." (The Breach 63-0317E).

Quote: 45-7 "45-6 "That Angel coming and said, "…your message…will introduce the Messiah just before His coming."…notice, the mighty Angel swore with an oath, that time would be no more… This Angel come down from heaven… He isn't a man from the earth as the messengers to the church ages…But this Angel brings the next announcement…It was Christ." (Is This the Sign of the End Sir 62-1230e).

Brother Branham confirming over here that Revelation 10:1 is not man of the earth; but he is a heavenly angel, and that confirms the ministry of Brother Branham when he descended upon the earth. Alright.

"Is William Branham to return for the last seal and seven thunders? Some preach this doctrine."

Immediately after the death and even before he was buried, there arose rumors and speculations that Brother Branham will arise from the dead to fulfill his unfinished ministry. These rumors and speculations conceived, and were propagated by several people. Some expected his resurrection in three days, others in forty days and some on Easter Sunday of 1966, and in the years that followed, especially 1977, and continued up to date.

This heresy is known as "the return ministry", but it is a resurrection cult. Of recent times, it was widely debated and appeared frequently on a popular forum "William Branham groups". Popular men who support this heresy are Brother Jones, Travis, and others. This heresy was exposed in an elaborate manner on Exposition book 4, "five major doctrinal divisions". I sent out a challenge for any resurrectionist to prove by the Word and message that Brother Branham will come up in any kind of resurrection to complete his ministry. Many resurrectionist went into their holes, but a "fool rushes in where angels fear to tread", of who is Dale Ketch who identified his cult organization by the title "The search for truth" of Sharpsville IN USA, who accepted this challenge. His defense is a typographical error, which he found in our book, which states that "Elijah died, instead of "translated" He laughed himself like a clown. "Wow, ha ha, only a novice can come up with such a revelation like this". He said this was never meant to be a doctrine but simply a typographical error. When a heretic will make an issue of such a typographical error, he exposes himself as having no scriptures or revelation of the message to support his heresy. Exposition book 4 was revised and the typographical error was corrected, but this man's spirit is unchanged. He fully expressed the spirit of America "hey haw, hey haw", which Brother Branham described as a "Hey haw" spirit

Quote: E-38 "You come into America, you find a big "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." That's what it is. See? That's the American spirit. Somebody tell a dirty joke on the radio and everybody laugh at it... cracking jokes…that's American spirit." (Victory Day 63-0421).

Brother Branham even related that to a Hybrid mule, this heretic brays like a mule and sent me a big package of quotations, in which Brother Branham spoke of the promises of God.

Quote: 123 "Just reminds me of some hybrid Christians, so called. You can try to tell an old mule something, he'll stand with his ears up and go "Haw. Haw. Haw." See? All he knows is bray and carry on. You can't tell him truth and teach him nothing. That's the way these people: tell them about Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, "Haw. Haw. The days of miracles is passed," a braying of some seminary that we learned. It's a hybrid" (Lord Just Once More 63-0628A).

This does not address my challenge and I am yet challenging him, and any other resurrectionist to produce to me one Scripture or a single quotation, that says Brother Branham will return in a resurrection to complete his ministry. It takes a clown to believe such a heresy, for which there are no Scriptures or quotations. This man tried to fabricate some scriptural support and even claimed that John will come back to carry out his commission and ride the trail again in the Millennium {Revelation 10:11}. There is no scripture to prove such nonsense! He even offered $10,000 reward for any to prove that the white horse vision will not be fulfilled. If I had a million dollars I could do the same in sending out that challenge, because I firmly believe that the white horse vision will be fulfilled! "I will ride this trail again". This subtle, heretical spirit would not accept a challenge for a million dollars to produce one Scripture or direct quotation of the prophet which states that he will return to complete his ministry. On the contrary Brother Branham said "if I leave you, I will be leaving you for good"{seals page 567}; because he is yet searching for truth. This is a dead doctrine of the dead, and all who are possessed of such spirits are not born again. There is no end to such debates, because such a man cannot see further than the grave. He acted like a hero, but is a big coward; afraid to take God at his Word. It takes another outpouring of the spirit for the bride to become the super church, to declare the seventh seal/seven thunders, and the coming of the Lord to the public. All the promises of God through Christ and the prophet Brother Branham will be fulfilled in the endtime bride.

Quote: "He did not complete all His work while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and through the bride. She knows that, for it was not yet time for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But He will now fulfill through the bride that work which He left for this specific time."(Church Age Book. Page 172)

"Some are saying that Brother William Branham preached the seven seals from Larkin's doctrine in 1963. Is this right?"

So he did not use Larkin doctrine to preach the seals. Otherwise he would not contradict Larkin

Quote: 7-1 "Not knowing what the Seals was. I had my own idea, as every minister does… I'd read Mr. Larkin; I'd read oh, so many different ones of their commentaries on this. But somehow or other, I thought I had a little view of it myself that might places different…Immediately after that, the Angels of the Lord appeared... The Bible become a new Bible. There It opened up and revealed all the things that the reformers and things had left out. It was the complete revelation of Jesus Christ, altogether new to us." (Feast Of The Trumpets 64-0719m).

Quote: 578-1 {405} "And the Angels took me into that pyramid of themselves, the mysteries of God known only to them. And now, they with the messengers that come to interpret that pyramid or that message of the secret of these Seven Seals." (The Seventh Seal 63-0324e)

Quote: 405-6 {103} "In last night's service also, the great mystery opened with this Seal, which was absolutely contrary to my former understanding." The Sixth Seal 63-0323).

Similar quotation can be found on: Standing In the Gap 63-0623 and The First Seal 63-0318
