C.W. WOOD'S 7TH SEAL/7 THUNDERS
PROGRAM
Heretical Articles Nos.: 329-338
CHAPTER EIGHT
Elder C. W. Wood from Arkansas seventh seal/seven
thunders program has some popularity in India and Africa, because of
his
publications and other mediums. Although we have given this heretic
brother
his due respect as an elder, his program is Satanic, cunning and
deceptive
and is in opposition and defiance to the program of God in every
respect. He
advocates that the seventh seal/seven thunders were revealed, that
Brother
Branham was the second coming of the Lord Jesus. However the revelation
was
hidden and was progressively revealed within a period of 20 years,
which
accounts for the half an hour silence. He was assisted by others to
catch
the revelation. Although his interpretations and damnable heresies
which
constitute his program were thoroughly exposed on E.O.D.H book 9. It is
necessary to list his heresies and expositions in this work in an
abbreviated form. They are as follows.
Now this is an old man located in Arkansas U.S.A.. His
projection
concerning the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders are as follows: The Seventh
Seal
was revealed to Brother Branham, and preached by him in riddles and
parables, after 1963 unto the time of his departure in 1965, and the
'half
an hour silence' equals twenty years and when that 'half and hour
silence'
passed from 1963 to 1983, then the silence was broken in 1983 and
people
started to get the revelation of the Seventh Seal.
He also states that the revelation that started to come forth
from
1983 came forth progressively. In other words it grew over a period of
time
and various ministers got certain 'revelations' of the Seventh
Seal/Seven
Thunders and it is now coming together. The pieces are now put together
to
make a complete picture and revelation of the Seven Thunders. He states
that
the Seventh Seal is the coming of Christ, but the coming of Christ is
in the
prophet William Branham and that great event took place at the opening
of
the Seventh Seal in 1963. Also that the rapture is in three phases and
the
rapture started in 1963.
"The Capstone is now here, because it is the coming of the Lord
and
it came in 1963, because Christ is the Headstone. The Tent that
Brother
Branham seen in a vision is already past and people don't know it,
beside
that, the Seven Angels that came for the Opening of the Seals are the
seven
theophanies of the 7 church ages messengers, and the little room that
the
Angel said that he would meet Brother Branham in, that has already been
fulfilled when Brother Branham went into a room and stayed for eight
days to
receive the Revelation of the Seals."
All these are heretical articles which were previously exposed
on
the second printing of E.O.D.H. book 9, as heretical article No. 112 to
121-
Questions 109 to 118).
Heretical Article No. 329:
C. W. Wood: "The great seventh seal… was it revealed to
the
Prophet William Branham, and if so, did he preach the mystery of it?
"Yes".
The mystery was preached in riddles, and that the revelation
given to
Brother Branham, in March of 1963 was progressive in that it deepened
until
the time of his departure".
E.O.D.H. Answer: The Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders was
not
revealed in riddles and parables from 1963 to 1965, and even after
1965,
up to the present time. A parable is a group of words put together
wherein
lies a hidden mystery; it needs interpretation. E.g. the parable of the
sower. If you compare that parable with the interpretation, they are
two
different things. One you could understand plainly, and if you do not
know
what is the interpretation, the parable will puzzle you. This
statement of
our elder Brother Wood is saying, that the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders
was
revealed in riddles by our precious Brother Branham from 1963 to 1965.
Also
that such great revelation remained silent for twenty years from 1963,
which
is the half an hour silence.
Nowhere did Brother Branham say at anytime, throughout anyone
of his
messages that the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders was revealed or placed in
his
message in riddles or parables. I challenge Mr. Wood or any
preacher
to produce to me one any such quotation, and if you cannot do that, you
are
propagating a heresy. You are propagating your own opinion, your own
thoughts, your own idea, your own interpretation, your own ism, and
this is
what the Prophet of God warned us not to do, to try to interpret the
Seventh
Seal when it comes.
Brother Branham did not speak in riddles and he did not speak
in
parables when he spoke about the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders, revealed
or
not revealed, in 1963 or the years before his departure.
WHAT THIS GREAT SECRET IS, I DO NOT KNOW
Quote: 567 (1) " 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
said. But I know that it was them seven thunders." (The seventh seal
24/3/63).
Do you hear anything like a parable there? Does this sound to
you
like a riddle friends? According to Brother Branham's conclusion in
1963,
when he came to the subject of Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders, opened or
not
opened, He did not speak in riddles or parables, but he spoke plainly.
All
his statements pertinent to this subject are consistent with his
conclusions
of 1963, as above, that it is not opened.
I LOOKED FOR INTERPRETATION, I COULDN'T MAKE IT
OUT,
Quote: 567 (2) "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." (The seventh seal 24/3/63).
Quote: 578 "We don't know what it is as yet, because
it is
not permitted to be broken." (The seventh seal 24/3/63).
Did anybody hear a riddle or parable? This is plain speech? The
Seal
is not revealed. He could not make it out.
HE HID THE 7TH SEAL - HE WOULDN'T PERMIT IT
Quote: 33-3 "Remember, He hid the Seventh Seal from
us…
It was the coming of the Lord.." (Souls in prison now 11/11/63).
Quote: 23-4 076 "Remember the Seven Seals is
finished... One of them He wouldn't permit us to know…The Seventh
Seal,
He wouldn't permit it. (Souls in prison now 11/11/63).
That is 1963, the eleventh month. He is still holding that
vision,
saying
that the seventh seal was not opened, because it was the coming of the
Lord.
That is English.
SEVENTH SEAL HASN'T OPENED YET - THAT'S HIS
COMING
Quote: That Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you know;
that's His coming. (Feast of the Trumpets 19/7/64).
Quote: "The seventh angel was to open the six-seal
mystery." (Proving His Word 16/8/64).
We have examined quotations of the prophet from the opening of
the
seals, after the seals in 1964. We have not heard a riddle or parable
yet.
We have not heard it mysteriously yet. This mysterious thing adds up to
riddle. It equals to parable. It's the same heretical terminology that
says
the revelation of the Seventh Seal is hidden in the message of Brother
Branham in a mysterious form. Elder Wood is only using a different
terminology for the same heresy and same dogma. He is calling it
riddles and
parables.
TEACHING LAST SEVEN THUNDERS - COULDN'T GET ROOM TO DO
IT
Quote: "I have come here for the purpose of teaching
the
last vials… and the last seven thunders… we couldn't get room to do it.
(God
of this evil age 1/8/65).
That is 1965. Brother Branham's last quotation on Seventh
Seal, Seven Thunders he said, "Just wait till we get in to
open…them
seven thunders." (Knoweth.It.Not 65-0815).
Up to 1965 before he left the earth that was the last statement
on
Seven Thunders. Not one place did he say to search for it because it is
in
riddles or parables or mysteriously hidden in the Message. It is
an
'ism'. It is of the Devil. It is Satanic.
Heretical Article No. 330:
C.W. Wood: "There would be about the space of half an
hour of time pass, according to Rev. 8:1, before the revelation
would
start. (Perhaps about 20 years, if one day is a thousand years
with
the Lord.).. Some of our minister brothers began to understand the
Mystery
under the Seventh Seal in about 1983. From 1963 until 1983, is twenty
years
and the silence in Heaven was broken as God began to show the opening
of the
Seal".
E.O.D.H. Answer: There is not a single scripture or
quotation
to support this heresy. Therefore this claim is false. Nowhere did
Brother
Branham interpret the half hour silence to be any period of years. All
that
he said was that the reason there was silence in heaven is that the
secret
of the 7th seal wouldn't be given away to Satan. (The seventh seal
63-0324E).
I challenge those that propagate your heresy, to bring to me
one
single quotation from the Message of the Hour to prove to me that the
half an hour silence under the Seventh Seal is twenty
years
and it started in 1963.
There is nowhere in the Bible where a revelation took any
amount of
years to come to any people. The revelation of each of the others six
seals
took seconds to come to Brother Branham, when God was about to reveal
it.
All the six Seals never took a year, or two years or twenty years; it
took a
matter of seconds.
Mr. Wood said 'After twenty years passed, God opened the Seal
to a
few brothers (In the early 80's). And, twenty more years have passed
and the
Mystery is being revealed to the Bride, in general." So it took 40
years for
the revelation of the Seventh Seal to be brought down to us.
That is not the pattern of the First Seal, Second, Third,
Fourth,
Fifth or Sixth Seal.
All the six Seals never took a year, or two years or twenty
years;
it took a matter of seconds even because God had His channel standing
there,
Amos 3:7, His provided way to receive the revelation.
It breaks the entire pattern of the Scriptures and breaks the
program of God in bringing revelation unto His people.
It's not years that brings the revelation. No. It is
the
program of God, His ordained gift to bring the Word of God,
Amos
3:7- 'Surely the Lord God will do nothing but He revealeth His
secrets to
His servants the prophets'. That is how the revelation comes. Not a
matter of time. The revelation of the first Six Seals came immediately
to
Brother Branham and likewise to the elect who heard him. That pattern
would
not be changed for the Seventh Seal, when it is broken to the public.
God uses an individual, not groups of men, is what the
Messenger
said. The revelation was revealed to one man. So revelation does not
come
in a matter of time or progressively, and it does not come as a piece
here
and a piece there and a piece over here and brought together to form a
picture.
Heretical Article No. 331:
C.W. Wood: "The opening of the Seventh Seal was over a
period of time, it was in three stages. The Prophet said, "It's
in a
threefold manner." "When the Seventh Seal was opened to the
Prophet,
there was about one half hour of silence. The public received no
revelation
concerning it. Twenty years passed and God opened the Seal to a few
brothers
(In the early 80's). Now, twenty more years have passed and the Mystery
is
being revealed to the Bride in general."
E.O.D.H. Answer: We have already proven by the
scriptures and
the message of the hour that the Seventh Seal was not revealed
to
Brother Branham in 1963. Also that the half an hour silence is not
twenty
years and that the revelation of the Seventh Seal did not start
coming
to the five fold ministry in 1983, thus this heresy is
automatically
exposed and destroyed by the Word of God.
The three fold manner of the Seventh Seal is not what is
projected
in this heresy. This system which Mr. Wood advocates is contrary
because the
seal was not even opened, therefore it could not have come down to
the
five fold ministry nor the church in general. Here is what the
prophet
said about the three fold manner of the Seventh Seal.
THREEFOLD MANNER - THE MYSTERY LAYING BEHIND SEVEN
THUNDERS
Quote: 557 (4) "I had the revelation that
revealed-it's in
a threefold manner. That, I will speak to you by God's help of a fold
of it…
those seven thunders that he heard thunder and was forbidden to write,
that's what the mystery is laying behind those seven consecutive
thunders
rolling out. (The seventh seal 24/3/63).
He never said, I had the revelation of the Seventh Seal, that
revealed "IT," but "IT'S" in a threefold manner. It was revealed
to
him that the seventh seal is in a threefold manner. People misinterpret
that
statement. He went on to tell us what is the revelation of the first
fold
of the Seventh Seal and said that it is hiding in the seven thunders.
Does
this sound like twenty years silence, Elder Wood, ministers, or
believers?
The humble prophet said he could not go any further. Mr. Wood
is no
greater than the prophet he has lost reverence and fear for the Lord
and his
Word and has made an ism. The prophet further stated that he explained
the
first fold to the church, the second fold he refused to disclose
and
the third fold he could not interpret. It was in an unknown
language. Thus the claims of Mr. Wood second and third fold of a
further
twenty years when he claimed that the revelation started coming to the
ministers in 1983 and in 2003 is now coming to the Bride, is very
irresponsible, presumptuous, mathematically intellectual,
heretical
and of the antichrist. He is guilty of disobeying the prophet and
making an
ism.
MAKE NO ISM-TO THIS TIME IT ISN'T OPENED
Quote: 577 (2) And now, if this tape would happen to
fall
into the hands of some persons somewhere, don't try to make any kind of
an
"ism" out of it…because this great secret is so great that God wouldn't
even
let John write it…but to this time, it isn't opened. (Seals Book
24/3/63).
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INTERPRET, STOP! GO NO FURTHER THAN
THIS
Quote: 559 (3) "I know the next step there, but I
don't
know how to interpret that." (Seals Book 24/3/63).).
ONE THING IN UNKNOWN LANGUAGE, I CANNOT
INTERPRET
Quote: 564 (2) ""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." (Seals Book 24/3/63).
ONE FOLD SPOKE, 7 THUNDERS WILL UNFOLD MYSTERY AT
CHRIST'S
COMING
Quote:575 (5) Now, do you notice on the opening of
this
Seventh Seal, it's also in a threefold mystery. This one I have…will
speak
and have spoke, that it is the mystery of the seven thunders. The seven
thunders in heaven will unfold this mystery. It'll be right at the
coming of
Christ, because Christ said no one knew when He would return. (Seals
Book
24/3/63).
So now the Seventh Seal is not progressively coming. And
it is
not coming to various ministers to form a complete picture. Because it
breaks the entire pattern of the Scriptures and breaks the program of
God in
bringing revelation unto His people. The secret things belong unto the
Lord. And He said, He will reveal it to His prophets. And it does not
come
as a piece here and a piece there and a piece over here and brought
together
to form a picture.
The prophet warned you not to make an 'ism', not to make an
interpretation. Who gave you the authority to interpret the half an
hour
silence as twenty years. Where you get that authority from? Where you
get
that authority to say that the revelation is coming progressively, and
it is
coming to many men. You do not even know the ABC of God's Bible. You do
not
even know the ABC's of God's program.
Heretical Article No. 332:
C.W. Wood: "His emphasis was on the fact that Jesus Christ
had
come to earth in the body form of a prophet, to fulfill Luke 17:22-30,
Rev
10:1-3. This coming is now history. Can we see that the prophet clearly
spoke of two comings of the Lord, one before the rapture, in the body
form
of a prophet and one later in the clouds to catch the bride away? The
Son of
Man came down to enter into a son of man, a prophet to prepare his
bride for
rapture."
E.O.D.H. Answer: I agree that the Seventh Seal is the
coming
of the Lord. That was fully declared by the prophet of God, in so many
words. He said that is what was hiding under the Seventh Seal. And he
further stated, that is why we did not get the revelation because it is
the
coming of the Lord. This is the secret under the Seventh Seal. I agree
with
that. Something took place in 1963, and I believe that you are getting
a
little glimpse of the event of the opening of the Seals, but you are
lacking
knowledge, and you are misplacing this great revelation, even because
you
get your head into it.
You don't have any revelation on the Seventh Seal. You
have
no revelation on the 'half an hour silence'. You have no
business
interpreting the 'half an hour silence'. You have no business saying
what
the Seventh Seal is and place Brother Branham into your heresy of the
coming
of the Lord.
This old Brother is not saying that Brother Branham is God. But
he
is saying that Brother Branham fulfilled the coming of the Lord. When
Christ
came He went down into His prophet William Branham and that was the
coming
of the Lord.
I defy that statement. This is the heresy that is becoming
popular
amongst the message followers because it is now dawning upon them after
many
years, that at the opening of the Seals there was a great event that
took
place. And like Mr. Wood here, is misplacing this, that is how the
followers
of the message are now misplacing the coming of the Lord. Now
they
got to misplace it because Brother Branham never revealed it. He only
recognized that it's the coming of the Lord. The Seventh Seal, Seven
Thunders is the coming of the Lord. But it was not revealed to him.
Therefore he never preached
it and never lined it up.
These men think that their brains are so big and they have so
much
revelation. They have so much understanding that they could tell us
now,
about the coming of the Lord. And our precious old man Brother is
saying
here, that the coming of the Lord was in Brother Branham. Let us
examine
that in the message and the Scripture.
In 1933, the voice of Almighty God spoke at the Ohio River and
a
pillar of light came down and said, "As John the Baptist foreran my
first
coming, so shall your message forerun my second coming." Elder Wood,
was
Brother Branham the forerunner, or was he the coming of the
Lord? John the Baptist foreran the first coming of the Lord but he
was
not the coming of the Lord. But there was a spirit in that time that
tried
to ask John if he was the Messiah, and this is the same spirit upon our
precious Brother Wood, that is trying to make Brother Branham both the
forerunner and the coming of the Lord. Brother Branham cannot be both
forerunner and the coming of the Lord, the forerunner is different from
the
coming of the Lord; it is typed unto John the Baptist. John the Baptist
was
the forerunner, Jesus was the coming of the Lord; the forerunner is
different.
Now if the forerunner is the coming of the Lord, then Brother
Branham did forerun himself. When you forerun somebody, you are
introducing
them. John the Baptist, introduced the Messiah, "Behold the Lamb of
God
that taketh away the sin of the world." How could a man introduce
himself? You are mixing up yourself here friend, to state that the
coming of
the Lord was in Brother Branham. He could not be the forerunner, and
the
coming of the Lord. You break every Scripture and type in the Bible;
you
break every type in the Bible. How on earth Eleazer could be Isaac.
If Brother Branham is the coming of the Lord, then my friend,
how in
Mathew 25:6 could it say, Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to
meet
him. One fellow here who was the forerunner was calling out to the
virgins, and saying, "Look the bridegroom is coming down there, you
leave
from here, leave me now and go down there to meet the bridegroom."
"Behold I send unto you Elijah the prophet, before the great
and
the dreadful day of the Lord." Malachi 4 was sent before the coming
of
the Lord. Anytime you take the forerunner, and you make him the
Messiah
at the same time, there is a spirit upon you. This is the same
spirit
that was upon the people there that went to John the Baptist, and
Brother
Branham verified this in the Church age, and on Questions and Answers,
he
said that got to be, and there will be a spirit in this hour that cause
people to think that this Elijah, is the Christ. And Brother Branham
denied
that in many places, he said "I am not the anointed one, I am not the
Messiah, and John the Baptist said that, I am not him, I am not even
worthy
to loose his shoe latchet, he say he is coming after me."
Malachi 4 then is the forerunner; he is the anointed Elijah,
and
Revelation 10:1 is the coming of the Lord; the mighty angel that came
down
from Heaven. (1 Thessalonians 4:16). Therefore this
understanding is
wrong, it is of the antichrist.
Heretical Article No. 333:
C.W. Wood: "THE OPENING OF THE SEVENTH SEAL WAS THE COMING OF
THE
HEADSTONE TO CAP THE PYRAMID. It was the Stone cut out of the
mountain
with out hands. When the Lord Jesus Christ came on Sunset Mountain, He
was
the Headstone that the Prophet declared would come and cap the Pyramid.
He
had been rejected in the days of His Ministry 2000 years ago, by all
except
His Elect Bride, and today, when He came again as the Headstone to cap
the
Pyramid, He was rejected by all except His Bride."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Mr. Wood believes, that the coming of
Christ
was in Brother Branham, then Mr. Wood, is saying that the headstone
came
because Christ is the Head of the Church, so the head stone did come,
in
1963.
I am going to prove this scripturally wrong, by the first
coming of
the Lord. Jesus came the first time and he preached the Gospel, he was
on
earth, and the Cornerstone never did come until the day of Pentecost.
The
Cornerstone was an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the coming of the
Lord
was in a different category all entirely. The opening of the Seals
brings
Christ in the word form; Son of Man, Theophany, down to the earth here,
but
the headstone is the coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit into the
bride of
Christ.
It got to type out with that, now anybody could have risen up
in
that time and say but Christ is here already so we have the
Cornerstone in us, no, they was not so foolish, tarry in
Jerusalem
until you receive the Cornerstone in you, then shall you receive power
to be
my witnesses.
The opening of the Seals brought Christ, the Word to the earth,
the
second coming of Jesus Christ, but that is phase one. Jesus is yet on
the
altar of sacrifice and will appear at the rapture of the church. Now he
is
coming into His bride, to be glorified in the end time of 2
Thessalonians
1:10, "when He shall come to be glorified in His saints".
People cannot divide the coming of the Son of man, from the
coming
of the Cornerstone or the Headstone. How unspiritual they are,
and it
is right in the Bible. Jesus came and they never called that the
Baptism of
the Holy Ghost, the seal of God, that was coming! Jesus was called the
'Stone'.
The first coming of the Lord is called the 'stone'. It only
became
the cornerstone when the outpouring came. The Stone which the builders
have
rejected has become the Head of the corner and this is marvelous in our
eyes. Jesus came as the Stone. It is only when He was rejected,
he
became the Cornerstone. And what was the Stone? The coming of the Lord.
At the Opening of the Seals the 'Stone' came, and again
the
Organizations rejected the Opening of the Seals. It is not the coming
of the
Cornerstone because the pyramid went up, so it is coming as the
Headstone.
It was called Cornerstone down there because the churches foundation
was
laid and there was only one place to fit the Stone and that is at the
corner, of the building. It was the outpouring. But now the building
went up
through Seven Church Ages. So the same Cornerstone becomes the
Headstone. It is another outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It is
the
same article, of Pentecost that the church is now going to receive
under the
title of the Capstone or the Headstone; Christ coming to be glorified
in his
saints in the fullness of the Godhead.
Heretical Article No. 334:
C. W. Wood: "The first stage of the Rapture is in progress,
and
has been so since the Seals were opened. We must be very near to the
second
stage, which will be the Voice to call the dead Bride from the graves.
We
are showing that the Rapture is being brought to pass in three stages,
over
a period of time."
E.O.D.H. Answer: You are telling me that the rapture
started
in 1963. What is the rapture? It's the mysterious catching away of the
elected bride after her body change or translation like Enoch or Jesus.
The Bible did not say that we shall be changed in
thirty
years or forty years, from 1963 to 2003. We shall be changed in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump! And the last
trump has not yet sounded. The body change comes, in a moment, and
in
the twinkling of an eye when the last trump is sounded. The rapture
follows
that mysterious event.
Only the Shout and the Voice went out in 1963, waiting for the
Trumpet and the dead in Christ shall rise. So all this is nonsense
around
the world about the rapture has already started.
It's a heresy and it is of the Devil. The rapture comes after
the
translation and we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye,
at the last trump. There is not a scripture or quotation of the prophet
to
prove such a heresy.
Heretical Article No. 335:
C.W. WOOD: "Brother Branham, himself, apparently did not
understand the full meaning of the vision for quite a long time. He
truly
thought he would minister in a huge tent before his ministry was over.
The
Tent was only a spiritual representation of the
Third
Pull Ministry. It apparently represented meetings that the Prophet
would
have where Jesus Christ in him, would re-enact His own Ministry of 2000
years ago, which was the Third Pull Ministry. We are aware of at least
three
places where Brother Branham stated, after the Seals were opened, that
he
was expecting to preach under the huge Tent he had seen in the vision.
Brother Branham had misinterpreted the vision about the Tent. I refer
to the
part about the Tent being a literal canvas structure. We do well to
remember
that the Prophet was a man who had thoughts of his own, just as we do,
some
of which were right and some wrong! I believe this line of people
represented the Bride who was also to pass through the little room, in
a
spiritual sense, and receive the same revelations that Brother Branham
did
in Jeffersonville in the room there. The revelations that came from the
opening of the Seals gave them new faith.
E.O.D.H. Answer He says the "tent" is already past. That
is,
capital NONSENSE. Capital NONSENSE, Elder Wood! The "tent" is
already
past. The man that came to the tent on a wheelchair, did he passed too?
The
woman that was on a stretcher and came out healed, did she pass too?
The big
line that went down to a city block away, did they pass too? You are
talking
a bag of nonsense. Unbelief cannot stop the promises of God.
Heretical Article No. 336:
C.W. Wood: "It seems to this writer that the little room,
or
closet, represented the deep secret that veiled the Third Pull Ministry
of
the Prophet. I can see where the meeting in the Little Room, or closet,
between Brother Branham and the Angel of the Lord, was fulfilled. He
was
told that the Angel would meet him in the room. That happened when the
Prophet went back to Jeffersonville and spent several days in a room by
himself, where the Seven Seals were revealed to him one day at a time.
That
part of the vision was fulfilled exactly.
E.O.D.H. Answer: Look how dumb that is. This big tent
that
Brother Branham had seen in his vision was supposed to seat 50,000 to
100,000 people, and there was a little room in it (12x20). Our Brother
Wood
is saying that the little room was the room in Brother Branham's house
where
he was waiting on the revelation of the Seven Seals. Then, Brother
Branham's
house was pretty big brother. It was pretty big to hold between 50,000
to
100,000 people. And if that is that room, Brother Branham spoke about,
was
it 12x20, where was the great crowd going down city blocks from his
house,
maybe to the tabernacle of Brother Branham with sick people waiting for
their healing while he was in the little room? What about the woman on
the
stretcher and the man in the wheelchair. Was there any healing taking
place
while Brother Branham was in the little room? Absolutely not! Brother
Branham said, "I cannot get into divine healing during this period of
time,
my heart is now set on the Opening of the Seals, therefore we will
suspend
all healing meetings."
Heretical Article No. 337:
C.W. Wood: "Was the third pull ministry completed, was it
finished before the prophet was taken up, we believe that we have
proved in
previous chapters of this book that the prophet's ministry was finished
when
he left.
E.O.D.H. Answer: The third pull ministry was not only for
the
prophet, according to Mark 11:23. It is also for the church, when they
come
to perfect faith. Let us compare Mr. Wood's teaching with quotations of
Brother Branham.
Quote W.M.B.: "I believe that the church of the living
God
is moving into a sphere now that's going to shake the whole world."
"Oh,
it's going to come to pass pretty soon…that that anointing will strike
the
whole church of the living God, and she'll rise to her feet like a
mighty
marching army. The sick will be healed by a word; the blind will see;
the
deaf will hear; the dead will be raised up; and the power of God will
shake
the world with the church of the living God." (Speak To This Mountain,
59-1123, Par. E-62 and E-65)
Quote: "That very same thing that I'm speaking of will
be
done. There'll be a Power put into the Church, and now is coming in,
that
the Holy Spirit will so anoint the people, till they'll speak the Word
and
It'll create Itself right there. We haven't seen Power like's coming
into
the Church now. I know it for a fact. "'Say unto this mountain be
moved.
Don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you've said shall come
to
pass, you can have what you have said'-The placing of the Church in
position, where the Fullness of the Power of the Holy Ghost comes into
the
Church… it'll be here." (Hear Ye Him, 60-0213, Par. E-38)
Quote: 6-1 The third pull…When the squeeze comes
down,
then you'll see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in the
fullness of its Power." (Look Away to Jesus, 63-1229E)
Heretical Article No. 338:
C.W. Wood: "From Sunset Mountain, Brother Branham was sent
back
to Jeffersonville to have the Seven Mysterious Thunders revealed to
him.
Each day for seven days one of the seven angelic beings (Men)
entered
the room at Jeffersonville with the Prophet, and gave him the
revelation to be preached that night, starting with the First
Church
Age Messenger, the Apostle Paul. On the day that the Seventh
Seal
was to be preached that night, Brother Branham's own theophany body
appeared to him and opened the great and mysterious Seventh Seal.
The
Prophet knew it from that time on, but the public did not, neither did
very
many if any, of the Message Believers catch the revelation at that
time".
But, now that the Great Mystery is being revealed to more and more of
the
Bride, we see another proof of the nearness of the Rapture.
E.O.D.H. Answer: Mr. Wood is assuming that the theophany
of
the prophet revealed to him the seventh seal on the night before
Brother
Branham spoke on the subject of the seventh seal. There is not one
single
quotation to support such a horrible lie! If Mr. Wood is speaking the
truth
then Brother Branham lied on that Sunday Morning when he stated, beyond
a
shadow of a doubt, that the seventh seal was not revealed to him.
(Seals
Book pages 564 onwards).
Paul's nor Branham's theophany were employed in the opening of
the
seals; they were earthly angels men and not flying angels. Seven
heavenly
beings flew from eternity by the bat of an eye and came to the earthly
messenger Malachi 4:5&6.
If our theophanies are angels, then God made a mistake when he
told
Jesus to sit upon his right hand, because he was an angel. But Jesus is
not
an angel. No, he was a son. (Hebrews 1:1-4, 1:13-14). Jesus
has an
angel, but He is not an angel. Likewise the seven Church Ages
Messengers are
not heavenly, winged angels.
Quote: "You will never be an angel. God made Angels,
but
God made man." (Hebrews Book 1957, chap 5-6, page 175).
The seven church age messengers will never be angels.
They
will be man. And if you take the seven angels, who picked up Brother
Branham, and are calling them the theophanies, right there you make
them
man. You will never be an angel, you will be man, and angels will be
your
servants. Angels are not theophanies.
ANGELS ARE NOT THEOPHANIES
Quote: "We all know beyond any mistake that was not
an
angel. It was God himself. It was a theophany. Abraham called him
Elohim, God. (Conference with God - 1960).
Angels are not theophanies, so, the seven angels that came down
from
heaven and picked up brother Branham are not theophanies. This
conception is
satanic. It's a heresy, a dogma and a creed that has blighted a lot of
people, around the world.
