JOSEPH COLEMAN'S 7TH SEAL/7 THUNDERS PROGRAM
Heretical Articles Nos. 406-412


CHAPTER TWELVE

The program of Pastor Coleman from New York, concerning the seventh seal/seven thunders, is one of the earliest and dates back to the early seventies. Out of this heresy many other heretical programs on this subject were born, since contentions, disputes, ranglings and fightings arose among that clan. Many don't recognize him any longer and are ashamed to be identified with him and his thunders program.

His established program of the seventh seal/seven thunders is that the seven thunders is the seven virtues and that revelation was hidden in the pyramid. "The prophet mysteriously preached and hid the revelation in the message. In later years the bride was caught up in the spiritual dimension of the thunders, together with him, and caught that revelation. The revelation of the seven thunders are still coming progressively, because every 'thus saith the Lord' is a thunder." He and his associates made heresies to accommodate the promises of what the seven thunders was supposed to reveal. Such heresies are on the new name, rapturing faith, Revelation 10:1, the super church, the promised bride's revival and the coming of the Lord. Pastor Coleman and his seventh seal/seven thunders program had a severe beating on our publication E.O.D.H. {# 4, 5, 8 & 9}. He, his associates and his program were totally defeated, insomuch that he failed to lift even his little finger to defend his Satanic and diabolical interpretation on that subject. Enough of his heresies which he invented, through his pride and disobedience against the humble advice and instruction of the prophet, will be documented here to make this book a complete collection of all thunders heresies.

The Death Seed and the Seed of Heresy that Pastor Coleman put into the Message, is that the seventh seal/seven thunders was mysteriously revealed to Brother Branham; and he preached it mysteriously, and it is hidden in the message. He claimed that he was caught up in the heights of the spiritual atmosphere and got the revelation of the Seven Thunders, approximately ten years after the opening of the seals. He also said, every 'Thus saith the Lord' is a thunder. Therefore from Genesis to Revelation is only thunders, thunders, thunders, thunders.

When that Seed was sown, automatically it opened up a door for every ambitious preacher to think that he was finding the Revelation of the Thunders, all by himself in the Message. People climbed up their ladders of ambition, self and pride; and that is all that they are filled with: pride, self, ambition, boastful mouths and immorality.

People who never preached the thunders just jumped on the bandwagon. Good preachers just jumped on the bandwagon to save their churches, because when that started to move through the world, if you were not saying, "thunders, thunders, thunders", you were considered unspiritual. So in order for these men to save their churches, they started saying, "Yes, we see the thunders!" and they had their own version of it.

Heretical Article No. 406:

Coleman: "The thunders were preached mysteriously by Brother Branham, and it is in the message."

E.O.D.H. Answer:Brother Branham never indicated that the seventh seal was revealed mysteriously; but concerning the seven trumpets, Brother Branham said that it was preached supernaturally under the sixth seal. Supernaturally is a long way from mysteriously. That is where Pastor Coleman is typing from. He got an idea in his head that the seven thunders were preached mysteriously also. That is a lie.
Any man, who will try to break "the silence" for ten years, is the biggest impersonator that the message world has ever seen. It has corrupted the whole message world.
These super spiritual ministers and their believers no longer practice the moral standards of the message. Their dressings changed to some of the latest styles of New York, high heel shoes, worldly beats; African songs and tempo injected into their music, sports etc. Local preachers began falling in adultery and fornication, and likewise the members of their congregations.
God has a real plan and program for the revelation of the seventh seal seven thunders, which Pastor Coleman tried to mess up. It resulted in the many factions and innumerous heresies, formulated in the past thirty years. True servants of God are faithfully battling to expose such for the deliverance of God's elect, until the seventh seal is broken to the public.

Heretical Article No. 407:

Coleman: "The seven thunders are the seven virtues."

E.O.D.H. Answer:Originally it was established by that satanic movement, that the Seven Thunders are the seven virtues. Doctrinal division brought about many other versions of interpretations on the Thunders throughout the world, which exist up to this date. Mr. Coleman took something out of context from the seventh seal, where Brother Branham said that the mystery is held in the pyramid, and therefore came up with the heresy that the seven thunders are the seven virtues.

I defy the thunders being the seven virtues. It's of the devil! The seven thunders is not the seven virtues, it's the coming of the Lord! It's the event of the opening of the seals. Christ is now standing on earth, believe it or not! And Jesus is yet in heaven, Jesus is still on the altar of sacrifice, but Christ is now on earth. I am not He, and I don't know anybody that is present that is He, but He is on earth.

Mr. Coleman, by his religious ambitions, pride, zeal, and self-exaltation over looked which Pyramid brother Branham made reference to, when he said that the seven thunders is in the pyramid.

There are three pyramids that Brother Branham preached about in his messages. Only two were employed in the preaching of the seals. One pyramid is in Junior Jackson's dream; that's the one that the seven thunders are connected to, because it was the unwritten language in the Capstone that nobody could read. Next is the pyramid of the angels. Each Angel had a seal; therefore the Revelation of the Seals was in the pyramid of the angels. But the seventh one was the Capstone of the pyramid. He held the seventh seal that was not given to Brother Branham. The seventh Angel was the Capstone.

The third pyramid that Brother Branham spoke about is the Stature of a Perfect Man. His thunders ism is based upon this third pyramid, that "the seven thunders are the seven virtues." Quote W.M.B.: 578-1 {405}

Heretical Article No. 408:

Coleman: "The Bride is now a super church by the headstone. Her headstone/7 thunders sealing revival is on."

E.O.D.H. Answer:: When Coleman claimed the seventh seal/seven thunders was revealed, he had to go through the message and justify the promises pertinent to the seven thunders in the message. He had to find an interpretation for the new name, for the Bride's revival. Therefore at that time Coleman Broadcasted that the Bride's revival had started; the latter rain had fallen and a sealing revival started in 1984, perfecting the Bride for the rapture.
Previous heresies that were exposed, stated that the seven thunders, the seven seals message and the Word, are the headstone, and it came in 1963, and is built upon an isolated quotation that Brother Branham made on "Sir, Is this The Time"

Quote: W.M.B.: 47-1 "The pyramid is capped by the seven thunders. You remember the pyramid message? It's the capstone. (Sir's is this time 62-1230E).

Brother Branham did say that the pyramid is capped by the seven thunders, but that has its correct understanding. No heretic can find me a quotation of Brother Branham saying that the headstone came at the opening of the seals, and that it was the seven thunders

It takes the seven thunders to bring again the headstone and stir the Bride for revival.

The prophet of God looked forward for the headstone coming to the bride, and in word to Bride, he was moved by the Holy Ghost, and wrote:

Quote W.M.B.: "In these last days the true bride church will come to the headstone, she will be a super church a super race as she nears him… They will be the very manifestation of the word of the living God". (Church Ages-pg 171).

When the headstone comes the evidence is that the Bride will be a super church, a super race. These people who claim that the headstone came in 1963, are they a super church? Are they a super race?

If this prophecy is speaking of a super church and a super race, there must be an example in the Bible.

Quote W.M.B.: "The cap never did come, because it was a cornerstone in the church. In the full church it was the headstone, so it never did come it was rejected Christ and it will come". (Standing in the Gap - 1963).

Heretical Article No. 409:

Coleman: "The bride now has perfect love by the headstone."

E.O.D.H. Answer:This heresy states that "The Bride now has perfect love." "Perfect Love," the "Headstone" and the "Capstone" are all one and the same article. When you claim that the Bride has Perfect Love, you are stating that the Bride has already received the "Headstone." But the Bride has not yet received the "Headstone"; the people don't have "Perfect Love." They don't have the "Capstone." They don't have the "Headstone," because it has not yet come upon the earth for the Bride. But it will be here in its predestinated time.

Brother Branham has taught us that the Headstone is yet to come.

Quote W.M.B.: "…the church has got to get in that condition to receive the Headstone, then take the whole thing in the resurrection, when the Body's raised up." (Looking Unto Jesus, 64-0122, Par. 186)

He was the capstone himself. Glory to God! Jesus was the capstone himself. The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. The capstone came out of the grave and went away in the rapture. If you are going in the rapture you need the capstone. If you want to come out of the grave you need the capstone.

Quote W.M.B.: "…there'll come a sound from heaven that'll take such a baptism of the Holy Spirit into that Bride that'll take Her from the earth in a rapturing grace." (Three kinds of Believers 63-1124E.)

NEW NAME

Our Lord Jesus Christ has a new name that is to be revealed in the end time. It is his conquering name, and complete victory is to be won over hell, death and the grave by that new name. (Revelation 19:11-21).

Since we cannot find the new name written in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, then, where is this new name to be found? It is to be found in something that is not written in the Bible. It is to be found in unwritten things like the seventh seal and seven thunders. It must be found in unwritten mysterious things in Scripture. The thunders were not written in the Bible, and Brother Branham said the thunders holds the mystery of the new name.

NEW NAME REVEALED IN THE THUNDERS

Quote W.M.B.: "Every time a victory is won or something goes on, a name is changed… and Jesus…when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on high, He received a new name… it will be revealed in the thunders." (The First Seal, P. 157-158, 3/18/63)

The new name is a secret. No man knows it. Preachers arose who claim to know the new name. Why? Because they claim to know the seven thunders, and the new name is hidden in the thunders. Since they claim to know the seven thunders they have to say something that they know the new name. They have guessed at it.

NEW NAME - NONE DARE CONJECTURE (GUESS)

"And I will write my New name upon him... What that name is, none dare conjecture. It would have to be a revelation of the Spirit given so conclusively that none would dare deny it. But no doubt He will leave that revelation to the day when he desires to give that Name forth. Suffice it to know that it will be more wonderful than we could ever imagine." (Church Age Book - Page 318).

Heretical Article No. 410:

Coleman: "The new name of the Lord is 'Jesus'".

E.O.D.H. Answer:The quotations below evidently prove that this is contrary to the scriptures and the teachings of the prophet.

Quote W.M.B.: 158-3 {283} "And Jesus, His Name on earth was Redeemer, Jesus…But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on high, He received a new Name." (Seals page 158).

Quote: "When Jesus overcame, His name was changed. And he would reveal that Name, He that would be with him, overcome as he has, he received a New Name; And I'll reveal my New name to him." (Thyatirean Church Age-page 293.)

Heretical Article No. 411:

Coleman: "The new name is 'Jesus by Revelation'".

E.O.D.H. Answer:This theory is based upon Acts 3:16: "And his name, through faith (Revelation) in his name hath made this man strong". If the New Name of Jesus, is 'Jesus by revelation', then the early church had that revelation, according to this scripture. Millions of Christians knew the name of Jesus by revelation and had God's promises fulfilled in their lives by it. Scriptures declare that Jesus had a new name, that no man, but he himself, knew (Revelation 19:12). Therefore, this is a heresy.

This great impersonator from New York, after formulating many of these heresies, and being held in such great admiration and exaltations is seldom heard of anymore, and is a bitter enemy to many of his offspring. Their ministries have now outgrown that one of New York with greater followings, and multitudes of satanic interpretations that have thousands of people bound worldwide.

If that is the thunders, and God's real program, it never would have such confusion, because the thunders is to unite the Bride. But what has the so-called thunders done? Destroyed the unity that we had before 1973. We had oneness. Anything that divides brotherhood in the message, is of the devil. False thunders from New York divides brotherhood. They are pulling swords against one another throughout the world.

People hate the interpreter, separated from him. Those that claimed to be sealed and ready for the rapture, fell in adultery and some of them died from AIDS. That is not what the thunders is suppose to produce. Some claim that there are one or two groups among them that are faithful, preaching the true thunders." Where did they get it? Who interpreted it? Were they able to read the unknown language that Brother Branham could not read?

The worst mental delusion that ever crossed this message is when Coleman said that the thunders was mysteriously revealed and hidden in the message. The seven thunders is under the unknown language. Who is there to read it? There is only one that holds it and that is the seventh Angel and He is a flying Angel who picked up the earthly angel. Before the people go in the rapture, they will have to humble their hearts.

SHOWDOWN AT BAREILLY, INDIA
E.O.D.H VS FALSE THUNDERS COLEMAN ISM DENOUNCED
BETHEL CHURCH
(The House Of God)

The Word of Truth is gaining grounds in India. God is using Bro. Ronald Watson and many other ministers, to defeat heresies of all kinds; especially 7 thunders heresies.

Mr. Coleman has a stronghold in Bombay. Mr. Jerome Desouza and Mr. Royal, are his main agents there, and the main false 7 thunders preachers in India.

Many factions, interpretations, cults and isms were bred from the original false thunders of Mr. Coleman. Many have their own versions, which Exposition of damnable heresies (E.O.D.H.) went out to meet such heretics on the field; including Mr. Gan, (who has a hold in India; one of his agents being Mr. Richard Desouza); Mr. Woods and also Mr. Santiago, who has followings in Africa. Besides this, God has raised up gallant men in India, Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Malawi, Zambia, Cameroon and other Sates), Philippines and Europe, to contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints, and restored today by Malachi 4: 5-6.

Ministers, who represent the truth, are frequently engaged in debates, mainly on the thunders. Several were documented. They prevailed over false thunders ministers and their heresies, with great victory.

The following is another report of the success of E.O.D.H. and the ministry of Christ, and a live debate against seven thunders heresies and heretics. Several more heresies have surfaced under this discussion with Pastor R. Watson, D. Asserwatham and other ministers, contending with Mr. Yunus Massey and Mr. Shalabh Sunny; namely: Divine Love came upon W.M.B., only after the opening of the seals; the message entitled: "False anointed ones," by W.M.B., was only preached for the denominations, and not message followers; Apostle Peter brought the seven thunders (7 virtues), the New Name is "Shalabh Sunny", the sleeping saints are already resurrected, and Revelation 10:1 is now in India; which is nothing new, but an old heresy from the days of Lawrie, who died in an insane institution.

This report is given by Pastors. Watson, and Ravi Lall and confirmed by other faithful ministers from India.



"I am truly privileged by the Lord to write a great, but humble report of the meetings, which took place in Bareilly, near New Delhi, India.

I was invited by a minister Brother and the Pastor of Gaziabad assembly. Accompanied by our precious Bro. Daniel Asserwatham, we arrived on the 25th of June. We had two days of meetings in Gaziabad, starting on Saturday 26th June. The Lord's presence was there mightily.

One Pastor feared earlier concerning the exposition books, but this time he boldly declared in his church that whoever wants to receive the E.O.D.H books, can get them from him. We are not only very happy to hear him confessing that all those books have opened his eyes to the truth, but he also gave us a chance to preach in his church. As a result, some of the ministers and believers came forward and gave their names and addresses to me, to send them E.O.D.H books on a regular basis, and also requested me to send those books to their co-ministers. I had carried with me 55 copies of different volumes of E.O.D.H., and all were distributed there, and there are pending requests, which we are yet to respond to.

They said that E.O.D.H. is an Antivirus for heresies. Some who received earlier E.O.D.H books, testified boldly that they are blessed by the work, and said, "Theses books have come in the right time and right season by the Lord". I heard with my own ear that they are praying for Pastor Bruce and the other ministers.

There were no pre-arrangements for the meetings in Bareilly, which is a very strong fort of the false 7 thunders, belonging to Mr. Joseph Coleman, where the false 7 thunders dominates very strongly. A Few years ago, a pastor, along with 8 believers, came out from that church, after they came to know that their Pastor, Mr. Yunus Massey, was preaching false 7 thunders. That pastor was longing for Preachers of Righteousness to visit Bareilly and preach against the false 7 thunders. He said, "It is the Lord that brought you here." Later, he contacted Pastor Bruce for the help of getting E.O.D.H books, and through Pastor Dalton Bruce, he maintained his contact with me and I am sending him all those E.O.D.H books.

Before we left for Bareilly with him, we were discussing about how to conduct the meeting there. One pastor who knows Mr. Yunus Massey decided to invite him, because this false 7 thunders group of New York was making plans to open a printing press in Bareilly; and not only that; they started to distribute Mr. Coleman's sermons books in the Hindi language.

An invitation was sent to him and his party to attend the meeting, which was organized for the 28th of June. This pastor has his godfathers in Bombay, so they took care to hide my name, as he would have contacted Bombay and the godfathers there would have warned him. He came to the meeting, accompanied by a deacon named Mr. Shalabh Sunny

As the meeting began with songs, I was not there among the saints who came to hear the true Word of God, besides these two false preachers. Everybody thought that Bro. Asserwatham would be preaching. But the time came for the real showdown.

From the prayer room I went to the pulpit to preach. I had prepared another message, but the Lord changed that subject at the last moment, and I borrowed from the subject preached on "Two Great mysteries." I don't want to lie, because one day I have to stand before the Lord. What I am writing is the truth. I lost control of myself. I was fully charged by the Lord and spoke many things, which I could see from the pulpit that the congregation was rejoicing while hearing the truth defeating the heresies of Satan's false 7 thunders, from books 9 and 11. Those both, Mr. Yunus and Mr. Shalabh Sunny, put down their heads throughout the message, while I evidently proved their false 7 thunders is wrong and it is nothing but from hell.

I blasted those two heretics from the pulpit. I said, "The thunders uttered from the mighty angel's mouth and not from Coleman's mouth." The Holy Spirit called Coleman, Gan, and others, "Son's of the devil!" There was an awe in the meeting. People were listening with respectful fear. I am not at all exalting myself; be it far away from me, but I want to address my Lord here. He is the one who gave us great courage.

After the meeting was over, an elderly sister, who earlier suffered under these false 7 thunders preachers, came near to me and said, "The Lord has brought you people here to preach against these false preachers. Today I am fully satisfied." The heretic pastor was about to flee. One of the ministers stopped him and his agent. They were very angry and told him, "How could Bro. Watson call Coleman and thunders followers, 'sons of the devil?' He said, "You can go ask him yourself."

After the meetings, these two, Mr. Yunus and Mr. Shalabh both wanted to have a discussion with me about what I had preached. Mr. Shalabh challenged that he will defeat me with only two quotes. I accepted his challenge and these two were brought to the hotel room. I told him, "You will defeat me, but you cannot defeat the truth, which is of the Lord."

In the hotel room we were all present; we three on God's side and two heretics on Baal's side. The debate started. They were carrying with them no quotes. All their allegations were baseless. When I took out the Exposition book, they were afraid and the boy Shalabh said," No! No! No! No! Don't open that book. Whose book is it?" [Behaving just like the maniac at Gadara when the evil spirits in him cried out.]

Mr. Yunus questioned: "Why did you say "bastard born", and used the word "Dog"?

I answered him: "Even our Lord Jesus Christ also used such words against the Pharisees and Sadducees in His day, because they were heretics. Bro. Asserwatham said, "Our prophet used many such words, so there is nothing strange in it. We altogether said that using "bastard", "stupid" and "dogs" against these heresies and heretics are scriptural.

Mr. Yunus said, "After the 7 seals opened in 1963, Bro. Branham never used such words, because divine love came upon him."

We three answered him one by one, that "This is also a heresy. Bro. Branham preached a message called "Indictment," after the 7 seals were opened, and he condemned those, even among the followers of Malachi 4:5-6, who crucified the "Very Effect of the Word. He never preached the love gospel. He cut sin asunder." We asked him where is the quotation that Bro. Branham had received divine love in 1963. They both failed to prove it. Mr. Yunus and Mr. Shalabh both claimed that Bro Branham preached "Anointed Ones At The End Time" only for the denominations, but not for those who follow Malachi 4:5-6.

We refuted this heresy and said, Brother Branham knew that those false prophets and false teachers would arise from the same message of Malachi 4:5-6, to try to deceive the very elect, and Euphrates Devils, by the Millions would possess those message followers; therefore he had the foresight and preached that message. Denominations have no material to deceive the very elect, but those followers of Malachi 4:5-6 have the materials to do this job, and it is also mentioned in Mathew 24:24, because it had to happen when the Son of Man was revealed, and we know that the Son of Man was revealed at the opening of the 7 seals.

Mr. Shalabh Sunny claimed that "The Mighty Angel of Revelation 10:1 is now in India." He quoted from the seven seals book where it was mentioned that "The one with the seventh seal flew towards the east, and Bro. Branham was on the horse with an Indian Chief dress." (And Knoweth It Not 1965.)

We refuted this heresy by E.O.D.H. book 11, Question 350, page 104, and Question 331, Page 70. We silenced them by book 11. They both were afraid. They were in opposition of us opening the E.O.D.H books to disprove their heresies.

Mr. Yunus and Mr. Shalabh Sunny claimed that "Peter brought the 7 virtues of the 7 thunders, therefore this seven thunders revelation was here from since the days of Peter, but it was hidden to us; but in the last days it was revealed to us."

We refuted this doctrine by E.O.D.H book 10, Heretical Article No. 69, Page 14. Our question: You are going after Coleman and his doctrine. You are following him. The thunders proceeded out of the mouth of The Mighty Angel, not Coleman.

Answer of Yunus Massey and Shalabh: We have nothing to do with Coleman and his church. This "thunders" revelation; we have received directly from God.

Mr. Yunus and Mr. Shalabh claimed that Bro. Branham touched the 7 thunders, literally, and he knew what it was.

We asked for the quotations, but they failed to produce them.

They said, "The sleeping saints are already resurrected in us now."

We asked for the quotations, but they failed to produce as much as one. Instead of the quotation, they said that it is a revelation.

Mr. Shalabh Sunny claimed that "The new name will be Shalabh Sunny."

This is a blunder and lie of the devil, and we also asked for a quotation for this statement. He could not produce any. On the contrary, he said that this one should have the revelation. So we defeated them by the power of Almighty God and they could not stand before us with their dirty heresies.

Then finally, the heretic pastor Yunus Massey made a statement, after which it was not considered necessary to continue the debate. His words were as follow: "Even if I go to hell with this doctrine of the thunders, I will not leave this doctrine." See what insanity? This statement indicates that he is in the state in which his ears can be bored. He trampled under foot the blood of Jesus. I hope there is room for them to repent. {Heb. 10:26}. Innocent people are prey to their devilish doctrines.

One victory we got is that after hearing the message, both of these heretics denied Coleman. They said that, "We have nothing to do with Coleman and Bombay." How true that is, only God knows. Probably they were trying to hide themselves. They are still reading Coleman's books. But that was their statement. They never left his doctrine.

There will be a false 7 thunders meeting in New Delhi. But the Lord already took us there before the meetings could take place. Our Lord is gracious.

One minister said, "I wish to express my thanks to Bro. Bruce for acting so promptly and sending us the books and tapes. These books have opened our eyes. After reading your books, the brethren here have taken a stand and they can now face the heretics and their questions. There is one brother here. He was visited by this same person Shalabh Sunny. This boy, Shalabh, told the brother that the thunders are revealed and the 7 virtues are the thunders. The brother here regularly reads your books. He asked questions that "If the thunders are revealed, then tell me when the Lord is coming? What is the interpretation of that unknown tongue? Can you create squirrels? Can you heal your cold? And you talk about rapturing faith?" That boy was answerless. He got angry and spoke evil things about me. So the exposition books are doing their job."

At last we had a wonderful meeting in Shahajapur in U.P., where the Pastor who ministers there, said that his eyes were opened after he received the E.O.D.H books, and told me to send his salutations and regards to Bro. Bruce.

As I noticed, and with me, there are ministers and believers of like faith, witnessing that there are many who will come forward to take these E.O.D.H books, and they want to be delivered from those dirty heresies. Let us pray for them. In the departing prayer, the pastor thanked God for sending a warning. So the doors for "thunders" people were closed there also.

I finally send, all of our ministers and Pastors of the respective churches of like faith, from the Northern and Southern parts of India, all of their love, affections and faithfulness towards the work. They all, with one mind, said that they are praying for Bro. Bruce, and they all would like to see him one day, if the Lord tarries. They said, "The Right time, Right season and Right Man of God to deliver us."

I thank the Lord for all these happenings. I send my thanks and love to each and every saint and minister in Bethel, St Vincent, Grenada and Grace Covenant Church U.S.A, FOR THEIR STEADFAST PRAYERS & SUPPLICATIONS which brought us great victory here. Let the almighty God always guide you and lead you all the days of your life. This is our daily supplications to the Lord. Peace be to you all."

DEFENDERS OF HERETICS SILENCED BY E.O.D.H.

23-05-04 Mpanga Winston Kabwe Zambia. Dear Brother Mpanga Winston,

E.O.D.H. Answer:Greetings in the lovely name of Jesus Christ. Peace be unto you, and unto all the saints in that region. I received your most welcomed letter dated May 2004. Yes, we are fine in the Lord and enjoying his blessings in this part of the world. I am happy that you received nine of our books, and have observed that 90% of our labors are spent on the issue of the seven thunders. You said that you heard our story on the thunders and have expressed on your letter what you had to say on the subject.

You claimed to have gone through my books E.O.D.H. books 1-9. I stand in doubt that you have done so, because of your wild accusations and poor defense against my teachings and your vague quotations to support that the thunders were revealed in 1963. "The prophet said thunders are revealed in the seals".

I noticed you addressed your self as "Brother", and not a minister. If so, by what authority do you venture to correct ministers and scribes of the Lord? The attitude manifested in your letter is typical to intellectual, carnal and high-minded people around the message. They correct, discipline and lead pastors, because they can read, write or are educated in some field of learning, and sound more like parrots than preachers, if you are not a preacher, and have a superior office gift and commissioned by the Lord, you have no business trying to correct servants of God. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand". {Romans 14:4}.

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil"{Romans 13:1-4}. Is this the way you handle your pastor and ministers who are set over you? If so you act like a goat. It would have been be so much better and acceptable if your pastor had written such a letter.

The poet said "fools rushed in where angels fear to tread". The greatest heretic and perverter of the seven thunders from New York is Mr. Coleman, who received our books, and fear to attack our work of E.O.D.H, likewise Mr. Santiago and Vin Dayal, with many others who were exposed. Who are you?! Those heretics are sure about the accuracy of their exposition, supported by the word and countless quotations of the prophet to prove that the seven thunders were not revealed in 1963 by WMB. Gan from Singapore tried with all his might to disprove the word of truth, and was silenced with the sword of the king. You have arrived many years too late on a lame donkey with a vague quotation against approximately 60 quotations of Brother Branham which have established that the seventh seal/seven thunders was not revealed in 1963.

The quotations that you have written to prove that the seven church ages was a work of Brother Branham, is irrelevant. I believe every one of them. Also, your questions where the prophet claimed ownership of the book: "Do you believe…three kinds of believers…which of the three is your group;" and your statement; Quote: "I will pray that the Lord open your understanding as regards the seven thunders. May I know if the above quotations from message books are true or not." Your questions and statements are rude, and you are strictly out of place to challenge our work without answering our most important question. I now challenge you with the heretics you support, be it whosoever, to answer the main question that dominates my writings of E.O.D.H., on the subject seventh seal/ seven thunders.

E.O.D.H. Question: When was the unknown language of the seven thunders revealed, where and on what tape that released the revelation of the seven thunders? I will now refer you to the forty-plus facts of the prophet, document on E.O.D.H. book 5, that verifies that the seventh seal/seven thunders was not revealed in 1963 to him, nor the church. Do you believe them? It will tell you who are the unbeliever now, and which group you belong to. I demand of you to tell me what you are going to do with such quotations, in comparison to what you read on the church ages book (pages 324-327)?

You said that you gave both schools of thought a chance to see what they believe and live, and you have given a report by the witness of God concerning the unholiness of such believers, and asked the following questions.

Mpanga's Question: "If what is teaching that thunders are not revealed, is of God, why can't the same spirit teach these believers about the Holiness of God, because he is the spirit of truth?"

THIRD PULL, ONE THING IN UNKNOWN LANGUAGE, I CANNOT INTERPRET

Quote W.M.B.: 564 (2) "And in Sabino Canyon, He said, "This is the third pull." And there's three great things that goes with it, and one unfolded today, or yesterday, the other one unfolded today, and there's one thing that I cannot interpret, because it's in an unknown language. But I was standing right there and looked right straight at it, and this is the third pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God... Oh, my. That's the reason all heaven was silent. (New Ed. Page 509 (299-300)).

CHECKED TO STOP, REASON SEVENTH SEAL NOT REVEALED

Quote: 564 (3) Now, I'd better stop right here. See? I just feel checked not to say no more about it. See? So just remember, the Seventh Seal, the reason it was not opened (See?), the reason He did not reveal it, no one should know about it. (New Ed. Page 509 (301-302)).

WHAT THIS GREAT SECRET IS, I DO NOT KNOW. I KNOW IT'S THEM 7 THUNDERS

Quote: 567 (1) Now, notice. So help me, by God I tell the truth, that these are spiritually discerned to me (See?), discerned by the Holy Spirit. And by every one of them, has identified his place in the Bible. 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 said. But I know that it was them seven thunders uttering themselves right close together, just banging seven different times, and it unfolded into something else that I seen. (The seventh seal 24/3/63).

I LOOKED FOR INTERPRETATION, I COULDN'T MAKE IT OUT, HOUR ISN'T QUITE YET FOR IT

Quote: 567 (2) Then when I seen that, I looked for the interpretation that flew across there, and I couldn't make it out. That's exactly right, friend. See? The hour isn't quite yet for it, but it's moving into that cycle. See? It's coming up close. So the thing for you to do is to remember that I speak to you in the Name of the Lord: Be prepared, for you don't know what time something can happen. (New Ed. Page 510 (323-324)).

Answer: I took notice that you have itemized the gross unholiness of such people to justify that the thunders are revealed, instead of quoting the word and message of the prophet. Who are these people you are referring to? I guess they are isolated to your little corner of the world. In what way do they believe that the thunders are not revealed? Is it according to the doctrines of Ewald Frank, who believes that the thunders are not even for the bride? How can you judge the rest of the message world by what is going on in your corner? I know and I am acquainted with thousands in the Western world, India, Germany, and some places in Africa, who believe like Brother Branham, that the seventh seal/seven thunders is not revealed. These people live the Holiness message to the letter. The holiness standards are complimented, even by heretics who believe that the seven thunders were revealed in 1963. Yet, I have refrained from using that as the measuring rod to prove that the seven thunders were not revealed in 1963.

I have proven all thunderisms to be Satanic and from the pit of Hell, by the word of God and quotations of the prophet, and in addition, have given a countdown of such heretics and their followers' departure from the Holiness standards of the message.

It is a total impossibility for you to have read E.O.D.H (nine books) and yet come up with your foolish questions, and wild accusations, saying that I do not accept the teachings of the seven church ages book. What I said about the church ages book is very clear, that it was inspired, but statements on the thunders are inconsistent to the teachings of Brother Branham and cannot be found on the tapes. {E.O.D.H. Book 9 page 27-31}. How dare you falsely accuse me of such a heresy? This is a beam in your own eye, and with that beam you try to take out the splinter in other people's eyes in your little corner! You read my books with a made up mind in support of the heretics which you catered too, or you would not tell such a lie.

I demand of you, to answer my question: "When and who revealed the unknown language, for the revelation of the seven thunders?" If you actually studied my books, you will see how great men, with a wonderful spirit on them, and a blessed attitude, unlike yours, were unable to answer this question. If you think that you have more revelation than the authors of this heresy, I demand of you to answer that question; and if you cannot, I command you to hold your peace, find your place, if you are a sheep, and beg God to have mercy upon you, that he may humble your pride. I am waiting on the answer to this question, as I may possibly have this letter published, with that answer, on some of my literature. The thunders that you prayed that my understanding be opened to, is not the thunders of God, but of Satan, and from the pit of hell, so you better stop praying for me, and beg God to deliver you from the biggest satanic delusion, that started in New York. I anticipate your soon reply. May the Lord bless you with eyesalve.

Pastor of Bethel and Editor of E.O.D.H.

Date: 13-07-04 Greetings Brother & Minister Mpanga,

E.O.D.H. Answer: Thank you for your response, to the reply of your letter dated 10th June 2004. I have noted the contents and considered your concerns. You requested that your letter be placed side by side, if I publish your letter on my literature. I am sorry to say that it is unfit to take that place, because it is full of expressions of lies, hypocrisy, smack judgments, false accusations of me as a "racist" and a minister with the wrong attitude. Your letter was so written to cover up your false accusation of me about not believing the seven church ages book as a work of Brother Branham. Quote Letter 10-06-2004

Mpanga: "I had questions to ask for an explanation, you call me a goat and a fool. In my asking you questions I was not judging your work as you"

"I found your statements needed explanation concerning the book in question {seven church age book}All I requested from you was to confirm whether the book in question was brother Branham's work".

"Would you side with a man who calls believers who ask for clarification Goats? I never meant to judge or correct under look your work."
"You have again refused to accept the exposition of the seven church age book, saying that it was not the prophet who wrote the book. Sure he didn't write himself but he employed some one to write what he wanted to write. This is what the prophet said about the seven church age book"

E.O.D.H. Answer: You went on and try to convince me by the quotations of brother Branham on the rest of your letter that the church age book was Brother Branham's. Five quotations were given: Revelation of Jesus Christ 1960, Laodicean Church age 1960, Leadership 1965, Door in Door 1965, Harvest Time 1964, Trying to do God a service 1965 and you made the following statements.
Minister Mpanga, I perceived in you a lying spirit, evident by your own words! On your first letter you vehemently accused me of not accepting the seven church age book. On your second letter, you said that "you were just enquiring". You continued with your sarcastic remarks and judgmental attitudes as follow:

Mpanga: "This is more than enough to let a believer believe that the exposition of the seven church age book is of the Holy Ghost in the prophet Mal 4:5-6. The prophet claimed ownership of the seven church book do you believe There three kinds of believers my friends believer, a make believer and unbeliever which of the three is your group?"
"I pray that the Lord will open your understanding as regards the seven thunders"
"This is all for now. May I know if the above quotations from the message books are true or not."

E.O.D.H. Answer: Is this an enquiry? You told a lie, evident by your own letters! At this juncture, I remarked that you are rude and out of place. I yet maintain that, because I am a firm believer in the revelation of the prophet from the seven church ages.

When these statements are placed in my literature, even a blind man could observe your hypocrisy, by comparison of both your letters! Such attitude that you manifest, when challenged by my letter is a spirit that I am familiar with. Many in our region who believes the false thunders when cornered by the word, literally lies saying that they did not mean that, but something else. I was very surprise to see that same spirit in you, and you recommended your letters as humble, yet you run down the believers in your small corner to justify that the seven thunders are revealed instead of using the word and message of WMB.

Sir Mpanga, we are mortal men and we misunderstand things. The humble thing for you to have done, was to say that you misunderstood my projections concerning the seven church ages E.O.D.H. book 9 page 27-31. I would respect that more than all the lies you told and even now I forgive you for all your lies and false accusation against me. Please change that attitude. We hope to spend eternity together.

I never called you a goat, or a fool. I said "if so you act like a goat, also the poet said "fools rush in where angels fear to tread". You placed it in such a context, as if you were sincerely and humbly seeking clarification and I treated you as I treated other believers, calling you a goat and fool. Isn't that gross hypocrisy?

You weep about the words "Goat and Fool" like a crying baby. Didn't Jesus say "ye fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken? Didn't Paul say oh foolish Galatians. You need more training in the word before you address yourself as a minister.

I Dealt with thousands of questions and answers, locally and overseas and never displayed such attitude

I must also mention a major deceit which you expressed. You refused to answer my question, demanding of you to say when was the unknown language interpreted by Brother Branham and on what tape. You dodged this issue instead of saying that you cannot answer it. That is gross dishonesty. No man was able to answer that question worldwide and you cannot! I further challenge you to do so if you can, since you declared that the thunders were revealed.

RACIST SPIRIT

Mpanga: "I know why you are said little corner of the world, it is because I am writing from Africa. It shows how even you a pastor would follow the worldly people in looking down on Africans that is a racist spirit and not the spirit of Christ. I thank God I was ordained to be born in a small corner of Africa and Zambia in particular"

E.O.D.H. Answer: Your discernment and carnal assessment of me as a "racist" is off the devil. You base your assumption on my statement of saying you in your little corner.

The same spirit that gave you this carnal understanding is the same one that is misinterpreting the bible and message of Brother Branham to say that the thunders are revealed when fifty quotations declares that it is not. Now minister Mpanga, who has the wrong attitude, spirit and judgmental attitude? It's you!! By your own words are you justified or condemned. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh! If your thinking was right as a Christian, you could not carry my statement that far, but you would understand when I said "small corner" that I meant you are only speaking about what you are seeing in your area and have a knowledge only of non seven thunders people around you. To prove the meaning of what I said, I continued to say there are those that I know who lives the life and holiness standards.

Associate Ministers, and Friends will laugh you to scorn in Africa and Zambia, because of our mutual love, fellowship and respect to our nationality!

You said that my life is expressed in my language, and was offensive than corrective, too carnal than spiritual. Are you saying that Jesus Life and his manner of preaching and correcting was unscriptural when he told Peter get thee behind me Satan, and in Matthew 23, when he addressed the scribes and Pharisees, Lawyers and priest etc, as hypocrites with a host of other condemnations, or are you saying when Jude addressed those who were perverting the word, evil beast ordained to condemnation, creeps, raging waves etc. etc, that he had a bad attitude? How do you read your bible Minister Mpanga? I guess you preach a soft and dotty Gospel that is called the "Love gospel". What do you think of the Apostle Paul in Galatians 1:8 &9? Did he have a bad spirit, or Apostle Peter in 2nd Peter second chapter or Brother John in his epistles. You have declared yourself as a minister, but you sound to me more like a parrot!

You said you are humble, were enquiring, not meant to correct my work, but throwed my letter in the dustbin and the books will follow. You are a BIG hypocrite, throwing the scriptures of the bible, and quotations of the prophet with the truth explained! You will account to God! Is that a humble spirit or the spirit of the devil? All these things you do on the basis of your soft and dotty spirit, that cannot contend for the faith like Jude commanded. I further challenge you to show me in the scriptures and the message, your vision of preaching the message without rebukes, condemnation of sin, heresies and false prophets.

My advice to you is to get that deceitful attitude and spirit out of you if you plan to go in the rapture. May the Lord bless you with Eye salve.

Pastor of Bethel, Dalton Bruce.

TWO ID'S - DEFENDER OF HERETICS
MICHAEL VAN DONGEN/ASINUS AUREUS

4th June 2004 Dear Brother Michiel Van Dongen,

E.O.D.H. Answer: I do greet you in the precious name of our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for your most welcomed letter without a signature. I noted the contents and your concerns about errors, which you think you found in our work.

I noticed in your short address, that you strain at a gnat and swallow a camel, even as our Lord said of the Pharisees; 1) as you quoted me saying, "I have not a message." That should help you to understand that I am straight on Brother Branham's message, if you did not swallow a camel. There is only one messenger and one message in each age. Every preacher doesn't have a message for the age, so you are talking nonsense, in your desperation to defend a personality and a heretic from New York.

As the old saying goes: "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." You have taken up a challenge that your heretic fathers: Coleman and Gan, whose names you mentioned on this letter, did not touch with their little finger. Are you a greater heretic than they? It seems so. I will now address some of your nonsense that you call 'mistakes in my book', but I must remind you that I do not waste pen and ink, and you may very well see some of your folly published. Many are afraid to challenge my teachings, because of this fact

  • About fools rush in where fallen angels fear to tread.
  • "Melchisedec met Abraham": You have no scripture to prove that it was only a one time meeting. My writings were suggestive, just like any other suggestions Brother Branham made on all the characters of the Bible. With that spirit, you will find faults with Brother Branham's statements

    Dongen: "Page 108 book nine "We is wrong, that must, be "they" shall build houses and inhabit them. Not we, 'but' 'they', the sheep nations will build houses and inhabit them and the bride will rule of them that live in those houses. The bride of Jesus Christ will be with Him in Jerusalem and they will not build those houses ....so you're wrong on that explanation."

    E.O.D.H. Answer: This is the dumbest doctrine I ever heard, that here you cannot separate the elect from the nations in the millennium. The Bible said that they that build houses are the elect (Isaiah 65:22). Maybe you meant to say not "you". But this is a promise for we, the elected children of God. We are included. Brother Branham said, "We shall build houses." Are you trying to correct him also? It seems as though you have your own message.

    Quote W.M.B.: E-52 "Then along came the greatest Warrior of them all, Jesus. And He said that God has prepared a place where there's no death (Amen.), where we can live forever, build houses and inhabit them, plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them, and we'll not leave them for somebody else. Amen." (Greater than Solomon is here 62-0725).

    There are thousands of places, where Brother Branham partially quoted the scriptures inaccurately. Do you want to correct him and his message, or you strain at a gnat and swallow a camel?

    Dongen: "page 111 book nine, You call the creator 'the highest creature in the whole universe is God."

    E.O.D.H. Answer: You are taking things out of context. Your whole aim is to defend a heretic and heretics. Man was made in the image of God, and he is a creature.

    Dongen: "Before you are correcting others and call them doctrines of them heresies, why you don't correct yourself first."

    E.O.D.H. Answer: I don't mind being corrected. But if I have a man like you, who are defending a personality, and cannot prove to me where I am wrong, I will never be corrected. You are a poor example in your efforts. Seems like you are afraid to sign your name. It shows a lack of faith in what you are saying. A man who cannot correct his grammar should not venture to correct scriptures.

    If you had studied my work before trying to correct me, you would understand what is wrong with these men. You have proven, by your question, that you have challenged something that you have not thoroughly studied. Go back and study Exposition Book 8, Book 2, Book 5, Book 6 and Book 11, and you would have a better idea. Then, if you are willing to continue this challenge that you have taken up, you can do so. If you, as a follower of this message, can support what Coleman and Gan teaches, you are a heretic yourself, and I call you to repentance. Many people follow a personality, and not the message of William Branham. I trust that you would change your course after this. However, my earnest prayer is that we spend eternity together.

    Your servant for Christ sake, Bro. Dalton Bruce

    Date: 15-06-04 Dear Brother Asinus Aureus,

    Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for your most welcomed letter and challenge on our books E.O.D.H. I noticed that there is a remarkable change in your second letter from hostility to expressions of brotherly love. Your first letter started off abruptly accusing me for saying that I have no message of my own but only preaches the prophet message; you took offence in that statement and you were shut up by the word and dropped that argument. You stated that you found many mistakes on E.O.D.H book 9 and my other books. On your second letter, you stated that you do not have my books. Isn't that a lie?

    You stated that you wanted to find out about the wrong doctrine of the heretics you mentioned in a defensive manner, stating that I should correct myself before correcting others.
    Now you tell me on your second letter that you don't believe them. Are you speaking the truth, is the big question?
    If you did not tell the truth about my books, how can I believe you onthis matter? I am giving you my website address where all our books are free to download.

    On your second letter you gave me a name, which you did not give on your first letter. Again an expression of your hostility! Is that really your name?What these names represents in your email address?

    I now address your second letter, in which you said, that you took up my challenge, others did not take them up, because they are too many errors to correct. You stated that you can even correct Brother Branham. What is your office gift? I noticed that you stated "brother"! What is your calling, is it to correct the message? What is your subject under discussion? You went off prattling about attitude, unkindness in speech, church age book, Dr. Vayle, endeavoring to prove that the church age book is not brother Branham's book but Dr. Vayle's, spoke about Perry Green and other unrelated issues, not forgetting, your strange and foolish heresy, that the foolish virgin will be in the Millennium. Will you also correct the prophet {WMB} on his teaching that the foolish virgin is not resurrected until after the thousand years?

    I firmly believe that the church age book were authorized by Brother Branham and contains what he preached on the tapes, with the exception of a few items that was misconstrued. You dumped the whole book as Lee Vayle's book, you are talking nonsense and don't even know the value that Brother Branham himself placed on that book. You search out the quotes. That is not our subject. E.O.D.H. is our subject No wonder why you cannot stand the quotations of the prophet, because you know more than him. Anybody that knows more than a prophet knows more than God. Who are you to correct the word of God and the major prophet, even if you holds an office, you are out of place with your senseless challenge. A lay-member without an office has no place in correcting a minister on doctrines, he needs to shut up. It does not matter how intellectual he is.

    Your letters does not indicate intellectualism as I can hardly understand from your writing what you are trying to say, and as for revelation you indicate that you have none. Your challenge is senseless, without proper foundation and a waste of time! You should beat upon your breast and beg God for mercy for judging the truth by your heretical conceptions. E.O.D.H books is unchallengeable by the biggest brains around the message. Who are you? You sound so cheap and common, when you speak about attitude and unkind words. Are you saying that Jesus attitude was wrong, in Matthew 23? Maybe you never read it, also Stephen, Acts 7, Jude 1, and thousands of places in the scriptures where servants of God had to correct people? You are talking nonsense and don't even know what subject that you want to discuss. Here you are saying that you don't have my books, but one and have taken up a challenge against my work. Isn't that dumb? "A fool rageth and is confident".

    You stated that I and other ministers take all the tithes for ourselves, because Brother Branham said it belongs to the priest. How dare can you pass such judgment on me? Do you know our church financial affairs? Do you know what my ministers receive, and other ministers around the world? Do you know about what portion of tithes and offerings that the people receive at Bethel the House of God, and other associated churches? You are RUDE and out of place, and you are telling a lie!

    You re-quoted my statement about swallowing a Carmel, and you called it unkind. Are you saying Jesus was unkind with a wrong attitude? Or are you ignorant of the simple gospel that he preached, to the Pharisee straining at little doctrines and swallowing heresies that damns the soul.

    "Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess." (Matthew 23:24-25).

    I will now set you right on your damnable heresy that the foolish virgins will be in the Millennium. May this help you to understand your poor understanding, lack of revelation and spirit of God and under which conditions you volunteered to correct E.O.D.H. and even the teachings of Malachi 4:5:6. I outlined the teaching of the prophet on the subject as follows:

    Heretical Article No. 412:

    Asinus Aureus: "The foolish virgins will reign a thousand years worldwide as kings on the earth after they have been resurrected before the millennium. See Revelation 20:4."

    "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." (Revelation 20:4).

    E.O.D.H. Answer: The millennium is a period of one thousand years. During this time the foolish virgins, a saved group of people will be:

    a. In the grave during the millennium
    b. She will not be in the bride.
    c. She will not rise in the first resurrection but in the general resurrection at the end of the millennium.
    d. She will go through the tribulation because she is a professed believer and did not enter the wedding supper.
    e. She suffered persecution and was martyred. She had to go through a purification process.
    f. Christ and the Bride will set in judgment to judge the foolish virgins for their complacency. This judgment is after the one thousand years are past.

    Quote W.M.B.: "The church, the lukewarm, the anything outside of the elected Bride will go through the tribulation period. They will not raise in the first resurrection: "The rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years," just the foreordained, predestinated, elected Bride, God's own elections. "Who is it, Brother Branham?" I don't know? I can't tell you who it is, but I know it's going to be there, 'cause the Lord said they would. See? They are the ones that'll go up from the tribulation, but the rest of them will go through the tribulation, go down, and everything will be killed before the millennium. Then the--the righteous shall come out in the millennium and live a thousand years." (Questions and answers COD 64-0823E P:117)

    Quote: "Now, just a minute. "Will the foolish virgin be saved." No. Whatever happens she--happens now. After that time she's in the state... Now, she will have to go through the tribulation period. And the reason of it is, is because she has rejected the Atonement in Its fullness. She is a believer, a professed believer, but she will have to go through the tribulation period." (Questions and answers COD 64-0823E P:88)

    Quote: "It's too late now." You remember, they didn't know it until the day they entered into the ark, and then it was too late. The foolish virgin didn't know until she come back and found the wise virgin gone. Then she was left for the tribulation period. No good teacher believes that the church, the bride... The church goes through the tribulation, but not the bride." (God hiding Himself in simplicity 63-0412E P:116).

    Quote: "Where are the foolish virgins during the millennium? In the millennium they're in the grave. "The rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years." ( Questions and answers COD 64-0830E P:67)

    Quote: "When the millennium starts, how will the unbelievers be taken off of the earth?The unbelievers will go down in the tribulation period with the sleeping virgin, and all those others (unbelievers, and sleeping virgin), and the remnant of Israel that's to be taken out." (Questions and answers COD 64-0830E P:61).

    Quote: "Now, were the five of the virgins lost? I presume that they are asking the question, "the five virgins," the five wise and the five foolish. Now, if you were with us in the last teachings in Revelation, you find out there that those virgins, the--the five foolish virgins were not lost; but they were not permitted to go into the wedding supper, but they suffered persecution, and was martyred, and raised again at the general resurrection in the last day. Those are the people where He separated the sheep from the goats (See?); they stood before judgment." (QA God being misunderstood COD 61-0723E P:26)

    Quote: "Let's see, Brother Branham, what happens to the people that are--are considered the sleeping virgin when they are judged at the judgment? Well, the sleeping virgin will be saved of course. She'll be saved at the judgment. She'll never be the Bride, but she is a saved group of people that will come in the judgment, that will not be included in the Bride. But as long as they are virgins, they are before God. See? They are to be saved. He separates... They'll be the sheep on His right side. And the unsaved will be the goats on His left at the great white throne judgment." (Questions and answers COD 61-1015M P:91)

    Quote: "After the rapture of the Bride, when does the church that had to go through the tribulation period stand at the judgment? Is it after or before? After. The rest of the dead live not for a thousand years that didn't go with the Bride." (QA on the seals 63-0324M P:174)

    Quote: "What happened to the born again believers who are in the various denominations but not in the Bride of Christ? What happens to them? Well, I think we explained that awhile ago. See? They go into the tribulation. They are martyred in the tribulation, come up in the last after the millennium for their judgment (See?), because the Bible said that the rest of the living... the rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years was expired. Then there was a resurrection, and then come forth the both just and unjust and was judged by Christ and the Bride. He came to the earth with ten thousands times ten thousands of His saints (Is that right?), His Bride. Judgment was set, the books was open... Books were open, and another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life. He separated from there the goats from the sheep. Is that right? That had nothing to do with the Bride. She was standing right there in judgment with her Queen--the Queen and King together." (QA on the seals 63-0324M P:94)

    Seeing the characteristics of the foolish virgins and that she will be in the grave during the millennium, she will rise during the general resurrection at the end of the millennium and given life at the White Throne Judgment. The question is, how could she be reigning for one thousand years during the millennium?

    This is my final letter. I don't waste time on nonsense and a man that do not have a calling to handle the scriptures. As promised this may possibly appear on one of my books. I admonish you to repent of your folly, humble your heart, especially after you consider the teachings of the prophet above on the foolish virgin. If that don't open your eyes, it will take much more to do it. I trust to spend eternity with you and if we do, you will certainly have a change of doctrine and attitude to the truth. May the Lord bless you with eyesalve is my prayer.

    Your Servant for Christ Sake Dalton Bruce.
