JOSEPH COLEMAN, FATHER OF FALSE THUNDERS

 

 

Many who proclaim a revelation of the seven thunders are not fully aware, if not ignorant, concerning its origin. This booklet is to identify the father of the false thunders. It is a compilation of several articles that were written over a period of several years and previously published on Exposition of Damnable Heresies (E.O.D.H.).

 

For the convenience of message believers and the sheep that are ordained to hear God’s voice, we have gathered all heresies that were previously exposed to ensure that all get a glimpse and fully understand that Pastor Joseph Coleman must be fully credited as the father of the false thunders.

 

In this work, we have condensed a historical background of the false thunders which dates back to 1973, after ten years of silence on that vital subject which pertaineth to the rapture of the Church. Almost all heresies of Mr. Coleman, which were previously exposed on many books of E.O.D.H. are placed together to give a clearer understanding to message believers, and especially to those who never came in contact with this most important exposition of the “thunders” father and his heresies.

 

I am sure that message believers will save much time in researching the subject of the seven thunders, as this work has also condensed almost all the statements of the prophet, Malachi 4: 5 & 6, on the said subject. It will prove to be a most important tool against many heresies, as the doctrine of Mr. Coleman went around the world and is well established since 1974, a period of thirty three years. Added to this satanic destruction of the message, is the multitude of heresies which sprang from the heresies of Mr. Coleman.

 

Thousands of ministers dressed in black, went around the curvature of the earth sowing seeds of discrepancy. Innocent people are ignorant of the origin of the false thunders. This booklet will serve to explain many things that are not fully known or hoped to be explained by propagators of false thunders. E.O.D.H. has made a commitment to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, regardless of who it offends.

           

Like Mr. Coleman, other heretics will have similar exposition. I call it a “package deal” or exposition in a nutshell, which will serve to give a quick and vivid picture of several major heretics around the world. Please understand that since these articles were taken from previous work and from several E.O.D.H. books, there may be small repetitions of certain expositions of heresies.  Nevertheless, it will be simple to read and understand, as we have tried to place it in the best order so that it may be understandable even to the simple in mind.

 

Pastor Joseph Coleman was the first man that came with the idea that the seventh seal/seven thunders was revealed, and claiming to have the revelation of the Seven Thunders. His heresies gained international recognition, and his international influence corrupted the message and thousands of believers internationally, and here in Trinidad, of which we are personal witnesses as ministers and congregations. He is an Afro-American, stationed in New York, USA, ordained by the prophet, like Judas by Jesus, who 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, when Brother Branham said it was not revealed to him (Ref. Pages 564-577 Seals Book). His Thunders revelation was published on several tracts. He highlighted the statement of Brother Branham where he said that there is something about New York.

            After Brother Branham announced that he was going to preach the trail of the serpent, it was reported that this man ambitiously ran ahead and preached Trail of the serpent, which revelation Brother Branham did not endorse. This same self exalted, ambitious and self led attitude that caused him to run ahead of the prophet, again caused him to run ahead of God’s program and plan laid down in the message for the revealing of the Seven Thunders, which resulted in him formulating an ism on the Thunders that the Word of God does not endorse. He claimed that God revealed the thunders to him in order to lift the standard of the black man. With this element of racism, he included African songs and was able to bewitch souls from New York to Africa, and had a great following in Trinidad also.

            This formed the basis for his great Seven Thunders revival, followed by a sealing revival in 1984, which bewitched people internationally. The majority of Seven Thunders preachers throughout the United States, South America and the Caribbean, drew their inspiration, revelations, heresies and standards of morality from this self proclaimed, most fortunate, chosen of God to receive the Seven Thunders revelation, including the Indian Chief authority from the Exodus church in Trinidad, Mr. Vindayal.

            This great ministry flourished and exalted itself for several years as the great Seven Thunders revival, which later produced a sealing revival in 1984, perfecting the Bride for the rapture. It smote and trod under foot all that resisted its preachers and their doctrines. 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.

Many who claimed the seal of God, and two entire congregations with their several ministers, were rescued from such moral degradations, by the ministry of the Word and full adherence to Brother Branham’s message, and are still standing with the infallible Word of God, and in full support of the exposition of such New York heresies, and are living witnesses to the facts that are written in this book, for many were made to believe that they were sealed and ready for the rapture. In contrast, there are two other groups that held fast to the New York Thunders, and are yet upholding such New York heresies, fanaticisms and moral degradations.

 

 

7^TH SEAL/7 THUNDERS – TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT

 

 

Amongst the followers of the message of the hour, there are two schools of thought; and the two schools of thought concerning the seventh seal, and the opening of the seventh seal, is that one school of thought said that it was revealed by Brother Branham in 1963, and they preach a certain revelation that they think was revealed from the seventh seal. The first school of thought says that it is not opened. So here we have discrepancy, here we have division on this seventh seal.

In 1963, the prophet William Branham came to a great junction of his ministry and declared that the seventh seal/seven thunders, holds the second coming of Christ and were not revealed to him, but will be made known about the time of the coming of the Lord (Seals 567-578). Preachers and message believers walked in obedience, reverence and respect to the solemn declaration of the mighty Prophet Elijah, heeding his warning not to make any isms on the seventh seal/seven thunders. Then arose in 1973 the spirit of error and disobedience which anointed this man, a preacher of the message from New York U.S.A., who irreverently and heretically broke ten years of silence on the seventh seal/seven thunders. He became the model impersonator of the greatest revelation reserved for the Bride of Christ in the end time, that has to do with her perfection, final quickening and translation.

Satan’s timing was unique, message believers were hungering and thirsting, the deep was calling to the deep, and they were growing weary of the light bread and manna of the wilderness given them by our Moses. They hungered for the deeper things of God held only in the seven thunders to be revealed at a specific time. Pastor Coleman, anointed and used of Satan, impersonated the greatest revelation and gave the mixed multitude following the message, one of the greatest isms in one of the greatest effort of Satan to keep her earth bound. He formulated one of the greatest impersonations of the seventh seal/seven thunders.

Now this first school of thought that said it is not opened, and it was not opened in 1963 by Brother Branham, was inaugurated in 1963. The second school of thought that says it is opened was inaugurated ten years later in 1973, which proclaimed that it is revealed; and although that second school of thought was opened up in 1973, some enrolled in that school later than 1973, in 1974, 1975, 1980, 1984, 1985, 1990, and the school is still open for enrolment. So now I will say that both schools are open for enrolment.

 

 

ALL ONCE BELONGED TO BROTHER BRANHAM’S SCHOOL

 

 

Now present amongst us are witnesses of this fact that I just proclaimed concerning both schools. Amongst us are ministers and believers old enough to know what I am saying, and had long standing in the message to understand that there was one time, around the world, and around this country, everybody belonged to the first school. Now I am subject to correction, and I pick up this as a challenge to my testimony and my confession, upon the basis of the witness of ministers and believers present here today, that there was one time in the world that all message believers believed that the seventh seal was not opened by Brother Branham in 1963. There were no divisions concerning that. There was no fussing concerning that. There was no ministers’ meeting called where ministers fussed about whether it was opened or whether it was closed. There were no debates.

The next school of thought was opened up in 1973 or 1974. I bear witness of this truth, and humbly challenge the world upon the testimony that I give here, that the first school of thought that said that the seventh seal is not opened, existed from 1963, and it continued until 1973 around the world. All the preachers that ever came to this country from the United States and around the world, never mentioned seventh seal, never mentioned seven thunders, because they all shared the same view. They came from all parts of the world; they preached to me and the ministers, and I preached to them. Not one at any time ever preached on the seventh seal or seven thunders; and when any questions arose, we all had reverence and respect, because we all shared the same view; and the view was very simple that we shared, and that is: the seventh seal was not opened by Brother Branham in 1963.

We had one vision, and the vision was that it will be revealed one of these days; up to 1973 and 1974. That is ten years of silence concerning the seventh seal and the seven thunders. And may I mention here that where we got our facts for ten years, to support that belief and doctrine, was right in brother Branham’s message.

There were ten years of silence where nobody, no minister, no believer internationally, nobody claimed that it was revealed. And where did we get our facts from? We got our facts to support that understanding and doctrine right in the pages of Brother Branham’s message, and more so the seventh seal. And I have asked men around the world, “What broke the silence? After ten years, what broke the silence? Who broke the silence? And by what authority they broke the silence?” I am still waiting for the answers.

I want to announce to you that Brother Branham belonged to the first school (school number one). Brother Branham belonged to the first school, that, “It was not revealed.” But Brother Branham hoped, he prayed, he trusted God, to have received that revelation. That was Brother Branham’s hope. And he was looking in the scripture in Revelation 10:7, and hoping that mystery was going to be revealed to him.

Why wasn’t that mystery revealed to Brother Branham, being Revelation 10:7? All the mysteries were supposed to be revealed to Brother Branham, which is the seventh angel. Why wasn’t it revealed? Because the seventh angel was to reveal the mysteries written inside of the Book; and the seven thunders was not written in the Book. So the scripture is not broken.

 

 

THUNDERS OPINIONS

 

 

The second school of thought was opened up in 1973 to 1974 in New York, U.S.A., ten years later; ten silent years. The basic and popular opinions are that:- The seventh seal was preached by Brother Branham mysteriously, and is hidden in the message. The elect ministers and believers must be caught up into that mysterious dimension by inspiration, and catch the revelation. My beloved, I did not read that in all the quotations that I read in the message that covered the seventh seal in its entirety.

I challenge any man, around the whole world, to come and show me one quotation where Brother Branham said the seventh seal or the seven thunders was revealed mysteriously, and we have to be caught up into a dimension to get it. It is not true.

This school started in 1973 to 1974, and it gained international recognition, and that went through the whole world, but God proved that was wrong. And everybody that preaches thunders and seventh seal are based upon that revelation from New York, directly or indirectly. You say, preacher, I want to ask you one bold question, “Which school do you belong to?” I belong to Brother Branham’s school of thought. The seventh seal was not revealed in 1963 by Brother Branham. There is a specific program, there is a specific time, there is a specific plan, and he did not reveal it. I speak that on the basis of God’s Word and the message of the hour. I belong to that school, and I never changed my school after the ten silent years.

Anybody that wants to support the second school is still going to have to answer me one question, “Who broke the silence? And what is his office?” “Who is he?” And when you point out the man, you will have to tell me about the coming of the Lord, because that is the Major revelation. The major revelation of the opening of the seals was the coming of the Lord that was hidden under the seven thunders.

 

 

MANY DEFECTED FROM FIRST SCHOOL

 

 

In 1973-1974 another school was opened up, and people today around the world who are students of this school don’t even know the Principal. They are going around with a syllabus from the school, and they don’t know who opened the school; they don’t know the name of the school; they don’t know the Principal, but a lot of them have become teachers in that school, and preachers in that school. And I would say better than seventy percent of the people in the message now directly or indirectly belong to that second school of thought, and are preaching from that syllabus that was drawn up in 1973.

Those that once believed the first school of thought that it was not opened, both old and new preachers and students automatically defected from the first school; so they became defectors from the first school, and went over to the second school. Here we have a “Thunders fever” throughout the world and here we have students of that school, preachers of that school, teachers of that school, superintendents of that school, and supervisors of that school, and some of them don’t even know how that school started. 

I am sending out this message to you to help you to understand from faithful witnesses here, where this cult of the second school of thought started from.  I make no apology. I am at liberty to expose the devil and speak the truth. And I will boldly state, as a personal witness, how that school started and who started it. The man called Joseph Coleman in New York was the first man that came with the idea that the seventh seal was revealed and the seven thunders was revealed. And people that follow this “thunder doctrine” throughout the world, although they don’t recognize Coleman and his church, and although they might be against him, their Thunders trace right back to New York in United States. The second school of thought is built upon a heresy and it is a cult. Preachers that respected that thing joined that school and fell for it overnight, like dogs to their vomit, upheld the truth for ten years, and went out following that. Excuse me my brethren, you know that I am not a racist; but there was an element of race that was involved in this second school, and the doctrine that went out is that God was trying to elevate the black man, because he was put down by the white man, therefore God, revealed the Thunders to a black man.  It’s a lie of the devil.

So then the first thing that went out is that God is trying to elevate the black man, and the black people catered to that doctrine openly because they were fooled by that lie. It went into Africa, and they gladly embraced it. It’s a lie of the Devil! God is not a racist. Any man that will try to break the silence for ten years, respect for the Seals, for ten years, is the biggest impersonator that the message world has ever seen. It has corrupted the whole message world. I make no apology for what I am saying, and who are vex please themselves; in America there, Africa, India, China wherever this will go, who are vex please themselves.  This is the Word of the Lord.

 

 

ALL FALSE THUNDERS TRACES BACK TO NEW YORK

 

 

Anytime they attack you with thunders, let me tell you, there is a great weapon: Ask them- where you got your thunders from? And when they say-Tom; you say- Where Tom got it from? They say- Harry; Ask Harry- Where he got it from?  You’re going to find out that Dick gave it to him, yes. Ask Dick, where he got it? And it’s going to trace right back to New York. Now, but some only reached as far as Tom, but they could never understand that it came from New York.

 

 

THE DEATH SEED – THUNDERS REVEALED MYSTERIOUSLY

 

 

The Death Seed; the Seed of Heresy, the Spirit of Error that worketh in the children of disobedience. That man in New York forcibly twisted the message just like Brother Peter writing, an apostle with the keys to the kingdom. He said, “some things that Brother Paul wrote <…in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest…> they forcibly twist it out of context <…As also, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.> (II Peter 3:16).

Anytime you twist the Word out of context, you do it to your own destruction. And Pastor Coleman twisted the Word; and twisted the Opening of the Seals; and twisted the seven thunders, forcibly out of context. I speak the truth in Christ and lie not, the Lord bearing me witness.

And this is the Death seed that Pastor Coleman put into the Message- and that is, he said that the seventh seal and seven thunders was mysteriously revealed to Brother Branham; and Brother Branham preached it mysteriously in the message- That’s the Death Seed. I repeat that- He said Brother Branham mysteriously preached the seventh seal/ seven thunders, and it is hidden in the Message of Brother Branham.  He said, every ‘Thus saith the Lord’ is a thunder. Therefore from Genesis to Revelation are only thunders, thunders, thunders, thunders.

I listen to his tapes to be sure of what I am saying. I listen to Vin’s tapes to be sure of what I am saying. And I listen to these tapes of the heretics to know what I am talking about. I check out these things.

 

 

SEVEN THUNDERS MYSTERIOUSLY REVEALED BY W.M.B., IS A LIE!

 

 

            Brother Branham never indicated that the seventh seal was revealed mysteriously. But concerning the seven trumpets, Brother Branham said it was preached supernaturally under the sixth seal. That is where Pastor Coleman is typing from. He is typing out the seven trumpets, how Brother Branham preached it mysteriously under the sixth seal. He got an idea in his head that the seven thunders was preached mysteriously also. You lie! If that had happened, Brother Branham would say that- but he never said that.

 

 

MANY BEGAN TO MISINTERPRET SEVEN THUNDERS - 1973

 

 

When that Seed was sown, automatically it opened up a door for every ambitious preacher to think that he is 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.

 

 

SEVEN THUNDERS IS IN THE PYRAMID – WHICH PYRAMID?

 

 

This impersonator forcibly twisted the truth. When he did that, it opened up a door. He took something out of context from the seventh seal, where Brother Branham said that the mystery is held in the pyramid. He did not even have the understanding to know which Pyramid Brother Branham was speaking about.

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.

 

JUNIOR JACKSON’S DREAM AND ITS INTERPRETATION

 

Quote W.M.B.: 14-15 Brother Jackson." …He said, "I dreamed that there was a great big hill, like out in a field where bluegrass..." And said, "Up on top of this hill, where the water had washed away the soil, there was a top rock up on top of the hill; like the top of the mountain. It was rock, no grass. And where the water had washed down, it had cut some kind of readings on these stones, and you were standing there interpreting this reading on these stones."…"Then you picked up something, like from the air, something like a wrecking bar, or a crowbar,”real sharp”…And said, "You struck the top of that mountain, ripped it around, and lifted the cap of it off. It was in the shape of a pyramid. And you ripped the top of it off." Now, that was months and months and months before the pyramid message was preached. And said, "Beneath that was white stone, granite, and you said, 'The light, has never shined on this before. Look in on this. Watch this." (Sirs is this the time? 30/12/63).

 

IT WASN'T INTERPRETED. THERE WAS NO LETTERS. I DIDN'T INTERPRET THAT

 

            Quote: 47-4    “Junie, I want to take your dream…You notice, the writing that was on the rocks; I was interpreting it for them. They were elated. That's the mystery of God that's been not understood for years. Could that be that? And then notice. In some mysterious way, we picked up out of the air a sharp tool that opened up the top, and in there was white granite, but it wasn't interpreted. There was no letters. I didn't interpret that, Junior. I just looked at it, and said to the brethren, "Look on this," and that's fulfilled tonight. While they were studying that, I slipped towards the west. What for? Maybe to understand the interpretation of what's written in the top of this. Could it be? (Sirs is this the time? 30/12/63).

 

 

SEVEN THUNDERS ARE NOT THE SEVEN VIRTUES

 

 

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.” If the seven virtues are the seven thunders, then Brother Branham preached them in 1962 when he preached the pyramid Message. And if that is so, he could not say in 1963 that it was NOT revealed to him. Mr. Coleman has told the world a lie; and needs to hold on to the cross and beg for mercy; and repent for his dogma and his creed.

That is the man that opened up the second school of thought. And the Death Seed is when that man said that the seven thunders was revealed, preached mysteriously by Brother Branham, and it is in the message.

 

 

OTHER MISINTERPRETATIONS THAT WENT WITH FALSE THUNDERS

 

 

Because of that Death Seed, there are other things that went with it. Now if a man claims that the seven thunders are revealed, everything that pertains to the seven thunders in the message, he has to find an interpretation for it. He has to find an interpretation for the New Name, for the Outpouring; Bride’s Revival. Therefore at that time Coleman broadcasted that the Bride’s Revival had started; and the Latter Rain had fallen. He had to justify all the promises that pertain to the seven thunders. So at that time, they made the new Name, “the Word of God,” and it came out later that the New Name is “Jesus”.  Now, some say that the new Name is “Branham” and the “Word of God”. So when you are going to raise the dead, you have to go over the dead and say, “In the Name of the Word of God.” They are just flat out fanatics!

When he claimed that the seventh seal is opened and the seven thunders is revealed, he had to go right through the message and justify the promises pertinent to the seven thunders. Since the seven thunders is in the capstone, they went out with a doctrine that the capstone already came. You see how it is related? (The capstone is yet to come; it is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.) It’s a seed of discrepancy! It’s a lie of the devil; and the foundation of the second school of thought is built on misinterpretations of the seven thunders. That is the deception of the thunders. That is where it started. That is why you hear all kinds of things about new Name, latter rain and seven thunders/ seven virtues, seven thunders/seven seals, seven thunders/Word of God.

Other interpreters climbed a little higher, and now they say that Pastor Coleman was wrong, it was not seven virtues. It was at the opening of the seals, the full Word of God came, and Christ is the thunders, and in Him has everything. In this Christ is the latter rain, the translation, the rapture, the capstone, the third pull, the new Name, Tent ministry; He has everything in Him, and as long as you accept the message you have everything in you for the rapture; it can take place any day, even that the full Word of God, at the seals is the Joshua commission. Everything is in there: the white horse and the white eagle. They condensed all the promises of God that Brother Branham was expected to fulfill in his lifetime and new ministry, under the term: “The Word is Christ, it is the opening of the seals.” “There is no more outpouring and revival to come, everything is in the Word.” “As long as you believe the Word you are ready for the rapture.” On the other hand, they destroyed the holiness message. The thunders should take them on a higher plain, but they destroyed the holiness message.

By that one door of heresy being opened, many other doctrines arose concerning seventh seal/seven thunders. Out of that doctrine came several Parousia doctrines, eighth messengers. They climbed a little higher and said, “It’s not the Word, it is not the thunders, it’s an eighth messenger, and he has the thunders.” So we have one raise up in the Philippines, hundreds raise up in United States, some raise up in South America. We have others rose up in Africa and South Africa, and the whole world is filled with eighth messengers and all preaching seventh seal/seven thunders.

This heresy that started in New York has different variations, different schools, different branches, tens of thousands of different heresies by different teachers and different preachers. It’s of the devil! Jump high or jump low, it’s of the devil!

 

 

FALSE THUNDERS DIVIDED BROTHERHOOD

 

 

We see the conglomeration of thunders confusion. If that is the thunders, 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. Eighth messengers arose, the seven thunders revival that they claimed ended up in confusion. 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 supposed 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?

 

 

TWO FOLDS OF SEVENTH SEAL REVEALED – THIRD FOLD NOT REVEALED TO W.M.B.

 

 

We believe the facts of the seventh seal. Brother Branham said, about the time, as we move closer to the rapture, the seventh seal will be broken to the public, but it will be going on in secret somewhere, before that time.

That heresy has spread right through the world, and the whole picture is that if you are not preaching the thunders (so-called), you are unspiritual. That is how it is. “You mean at Bethel down there they don’t preach the thunders?” “Boy, we feel sorry for those people. They need deliverance. I think we need to go and tell them about the thunders.” “So I will get on the pulpit and I would say that God revealed it to me. I will quote Brother Branham, “God revealed it to me in a three fold manner.” You lied! You lied! You are taking it out of context.

 

  Quote W.M.B.: 557-3  {245} … 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. (The Seventh Seal 63-0324e).

 

“God revealed to me-it’s in a three fold manner. He revealed two folds to me and the third fold was in an unknown language. One fold I will give you, one fold I will keep and the next fold God will keep.” That’s what it said. That’s what he said. There is a specific time for it to be broken to the public.

The seven thunders was only hiding in one place, and that 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. The worst mental delusion that ever crossed this message is when Coleman said that the thunders was mysteriously revealed and hidden in the message. This is evident by the identifications of the New Ministry of Brother Branham.

We now proceed to examine the claims of Mr. Coleman, by the identifications of the seventh seal/seven thunders and the third pull.

           

 

MEASURING ROD OF IDENTIFICATIONS APPLIED

 

 

Identification No.1: His revelation of the thunders does not compare with what the seven thunders revelation is supposed to be (the coming of the Lord). His claims are that it is the seven virtues, and every “thus saith the Lord” is a thunder; it’s the seven lived voices of the seven church ages, which equals the message and revelation of each church age messenger, which is found to be erroneous, heretical, satanic and totally contrary to the opening of the seals and the promises of God. And though pastor Coleman and other impersonators crowed for several years: “Mighty angel, Revelation 10:1, and the Lord revealed as the son of man,” the true revelation is yet to be broken to the public. So, under no circumstances could they be evangelizing the seventh seal/seven thunders. The seven thunders is a mystery, not written in the Word of God, though it is in every type and shadow of the Scriptures, while, the seven virtues are written in the Scriptures and is not a mystery.

Identification No.2: Coleman, like other impersonators, falsely claimed to be manifesting such acts of the third pull, before the perfect time laid out by the prophet.

Identification No.3: He claimed a Bride’s revival before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the Capstone and the latter rain, and also unlike Peter at Pentecost, without a public declaration of the revelation of Christ’s second coming.

            Identification No.4: Though this man claimed the seven thunders and third pull manifestations, he failed to demonstrate the manifestations of the third pull, in accordance with the example given to us by the five acts of the third pull manifested through Brother Branham.

            Identification No.5: All that he produced as the fruit of his ministry is a carnal bunch of impersonators, who have broken all the holiness standards of the message, demonstrating Pentecostal fanaticism.

 

EVIDENT FRUIT OF HIS MINISTRY - PATTERN FOR EVERY TRUE MINISTER OF GOD

 

Quote W.M.B.: 74-1 “Paul…his manner of ministering set the pattern that all future messengers were to aspire to, and actually sets the pattern for every true minister of God…he had the evident fruit of his God-given ministry…" I Corinthians 9:2, "If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostle-ship are ye in the Lord.” (Ephesian Church Age  -  Church Age Book cpt.3).

 

            The heresies, disunity, variance of doctrines, jealousy and hatred amongst “thunders” people, proves him to be an impersonator. He never had a tent ministry with prayer lines running down a city block, and the sick being miraculously delivered.

            Identification No.6: He never started the rapturing faith, but did all in his power to cause people to depart from the faith that was restored by Malachi 4:5-6, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, and his folly will be made manifested, like Jannes and Jambres, when the real seven thunders is broken to the public, and the coming of the Lord is declared.

            Identification No.7: He perverted the revelation of the new Name of the Lord, heretically proclaiming that it is the revealed Word of God, and his co-impersonators proclaiming that it is “Jesus, J.V.H.U.” etc. He failed to turn such dynamic ministry and power over to Moses and Elias.

            Identification No.8: He falsely claimed that the blood is off the mercy seat in heaven, and has miserably failed to minister to the total lost. But, on the contrary, claims that the mercy seat is in him, and continued to preach repentance. This is idolatry, blasphemy and satanic.

            Pastor Coleman, one of the greatest impersonators after Lawrie, is a soul to be pitied, and much more, the innocent souls who he has lead astray by his thunders ism. Some, who are bewitched, desperately try to defend him by assuming that others are jealous of him and his ministry. But this man has nothing that desirable, or to envy, but has much for his folly to be made manifest when the New Ministry of W.M.B. is broken to the public.

So now this heresy that started in New York has different variations, different schools have opened up, different branches have opened up, so now the second school of thought have tens of thousands of different syllabus, different teachers and different preachers. We don’t belong to it; it’s of the devil! Jump high or jump low it’s of the devil, and I know what I’m talking about, don’t you ever get frightened for me at all. I speak the truth in Christ and lie not. I know what I am talking about. You hang your soul on what I am saying.

 

 

JOSEPH COLEMAN’S 7^TH SEAL/7 THUNDERS PROGRAM

Heretical Articles Nos. 406-412

 

 

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 booklet a complete collection of all his 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. 

 

 

Heretical Article No. 406:

Mr. 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. God has a real plan and program for the revelation of the seventh seal/seven thunders, which Pastor Coleman tried to mess up. It has 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 Articles No. 244 & 407:

 

Mr. Coleman: “The seven thunders are the seven virtues.”

 

Questions # 356: “Is the seven thunders the seven virtues, as Pastor Coleman propagated, throughout the world?”

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: This doctrine of seven thunders/seven virtues is a private interpretation. It’s the spirit of error that worketh in the children of disobedience. Someone is responsible for inventing such an interpretation. Full credit must be given to a super spiritual brother whose name is Pastor Joseph Coleman of New York U.S.A. History proved from 1973 that he was the first to preach and establish that doctrine in United States and has exported it to the rest of the message world.

This doctrine is based upon gross spiritual ignorance of what brother Branham was trying to preach concerning the pyramids. Brother Branham did not preach and establish such erroneous doctrine because of many scriptural reasons. It is also built upon an isolated statement.

 

Quote W.M.B.: “then the pyramid is capped by the seven thunders”. (1962 Is this the sign of the end, sirs).

 

He took something out of context from the seventh seal, where Brother Branham said that the mystery of the seals 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.

The interpreter, by his religious ambitions, pride, zeal and self-exaltation over looked which Pyramid brother Branham made reference to.

            The virtues of Christ are written in the Scriptures, but the seven thunders were not written in the Scriptures. Unlike the virtues, they were always known to the Christian church and the elect aspired to have them manifested in their lives, for seven church ages. Therefore, they were not hiding under the seventh seal in the seven unknown thunders. And they are not the virtues. If they were the seven virtues, he would certainly have expressed that most vital truth, but it is not. Nobody knows anymore about the thunders than the prophet. Therefore, whosoever proclaims that the seven thunders are the seven virtues is wrong, presumptuous and claims to have greater understanding on that subject than the vindicated prophet, Mal. 4:5&6.

The seven thunders is a “Mystery of God” that pertains to the opening of the seven seals. While the seven virtues are not mysteries, but the divine nature of Christ. Those early Christians possessed those virtues and manifested them in their lives. The Bible as well as history documented such manifestations of the divine nature of Christ, in the believers. A perfect example is the deacon Stephen, the first martyr for the Lord, and many millions who followed him in martyrdom while they displayed such character of Christ. They never preached about the thunders for it was a sealed mystery Revelation 10: 4. “Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not”.

The seven thunders are not the seven virtues, which he preached in 1962, or the Prophet would not treat it so secretively in 1963, as to say that he, “feel checked to say no more,” “this is far as we should know and the rest will be revealed about the time of Christ coming” and also that “it was not revealed to him. So don’t make any isms, on the thunders.” (Pages 567- 578).

 He stated hesitantly, with great care, that the seven thunders “holds the coming of the Lord”. Therefore it was not revealed. That revelation is a million miles away from seven-thunders/seven virtues heresy. (Seals Page 576-3pg.)

Mr. Coleman, by his religious ambitions, pride, zeal, and self-exaltation overlooked which Pyramid Brother Branham made reference to, when he said that the seven seals are in the pyramid.

There are three pyramids that Brother Branham, preached about. 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 with because it was “the unwritten language in the Capstone that nobody could read”.

There is another pyramid, and that’s 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 earthly angel of Rev: 3:14, 10:7.

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.” Concerning this pyramid and the seven virtues, he made no mention on the seal book. He was discussing the pyramid of Junior Jackson’s dream, simply because it included the mysterious white rock which was not written on. This represented the seven thunders that was not written in the book. If it was the virtues, Brother Branham could not say that he did not interpret it.

 

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

 

When the prophet preached the message Stature of a Perfect Man in 1962 he made no mention that the seven virtues are the seven thunders. At the opening of the seals, he made no mention of this doctrine, and needless to say at the preaching of the seventh seal, when the subject of the seven thunders came into view he made no mention that the seven virtues are the seven thunders. On eleven hundred and fifty tapes, he made no mention at any time, that the seven virtues are the seven thunders. The prophet messenger, stayed with the Scriptures. He did not suggest, indicate, preach or establish, on any of his messages that the seven virtues are the seven thunders. He could not have done so, because it is unscriptural and that would have made him a false prophet. Therefore this doctrine of seven thunders/seven virtues, is not Brother Branham’s teaching. It is neither Word nor message- based.

Certain great and dynamic manifestations of power signs and wonders are to accompany the revelation of the seven thunders, to vindicate the coming of the Lord held in the seven thunders, when it is broken to the public. (Seals page 304).

Those who claim to be evangelizing the seven thunders and breaking it to the public are under obligation to produce the promised manifestations of the thunders.

            The interpreters who proclaim that the seven thunders are the seven virtues, and other gross misinterpretations certainly missed the mark of their great claims. They produced corrupt fruits wherever their so-called bride revival went. Ministers and congregations fell into gross immoralities. Those who claimed that they were sealed by a sealing revival in 1984 fell like the oaks of Bashan and cedars of Lebanon. Both ministers and believers returned to wallow in the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah. This is sufficient to help any sincere heart deceived by such falsehood to understand, that such a doctrine is wrong. Therefore their seven-thunders/seven virtues claims are Satanic. This is evident by the fruits they bear worldwide.

 

 

Heretical Article No. 408:

Mr. 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.

 

 

SEALING REVIVAL - EYEWITNESSES ACCOUNTS OF MINISTERS AND BELIEVERS

 

 

This so-called Sealing Revival of the great Seven Thunders started in 1984 in New York while a song was being sung by this fortunate vessel and his congregation. Message believers from all over were summoned and a large convention was held in Pennsylvania for the purpose of imparting the so-called Seal of God to the believers. This gathering included prominent people (Doctors and lawyers) from Nigeria, and other African residents in the United States. Adults and children all lined up in hope and anticipation, while cripples in their wheel chairs sat nearby. As this so-called Seal of God was being imparted by the laying on of hands and by the ministers speaking the word and motioning with their hands, both adults and children fell to the ground as they were slain under the power and pretense of what was being administered. They testified that they became troubled in their minds when they observed that this seal totally lacked the power that accompanied the one mentioned in the Bible, for all the crippled remained unhealed in their wheel chairs and went out in the same condition that they came in. A match was then held by two Holy Ghost Basketball teams made up of message believers. After the match, every one of the team members got sealed, they claimed.

            This revival also came to Trinidad. The groups that were delivered testified and described this “sealing revival” in one of the churches in Port-of-Spain (the capital) as follows: In full African style of the spiritual Baptist, of which we are well acquainted here in Trinidad, and also the Shango religion, which were brought over from Africa and hybridized with Christianity. They are demon-possessed people who deal with witchcraft, worship all night and dance to the beats of the drums of Africa as they perform animal sacrifices. The background of these converts are predominantly Baptist, Shango and so-called Pentecostals, therefore it was not too hard to fall into that so-called sealing revival which revived their old roots and brought again seven other spirits, more wicked than the first, evident by their disgraceful demonstration of dancing, shouting, blood curdling screams, slaying in the spirit, women almost naked on the floor, covered by sheets, one tied by a belt and controlled by several sisters and deacons.

            These put the Baptist to shame, who are always well clad in modest apparel, and who never tried to strip themselves when their African power possesses them, but Seven Thunders women, given the chance, will strip themselves completely naked under the power of the ghost that possess them and under their sealing revival. This reminds me of legion who stripped himself as a demoniac, living in the tombs of Gadara. No wonder why such sealing revival ended up in gross immorality, adulteries, fornications, free love, homosexuality, lesbianism, and immoral dressing as never heard or seen around the message before that time. Such activities of screaming, and demon possessions, attracted the ungodly in the city, who enquired as to what was taking place in the Port of Spain assembly. What a disgrace to the message and the Name of Christ, when they saw men in full embrace rolling on the ground in homosexual style, and women likewise.

            Many years have passed, yet these poor deluded people practice some of these things, fully accepting such demonic demonstrations as the sealing revival. (However, recent information received from the pastor, stated that such was in their baby stage. We accept this on the integrity of his words). To prove that this was not the genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit, these believers testified that almost all backslid who claimed such blessings, and many who did not backslide later renounced that as not being the true seal of God. The gifted leader was contacted for him to give an explanation for the multitudes of backslidings, the imperfection of saints, and the lack of keeping power of the mighty Seven Thunders. His response was that the same things were happening in New York, and seemed not to have the answer. Separations and doctrinal divisions on the thunders were prevalent in New York, South America, Caribbean and wherever this impersonator influenced and bewitched people. 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. This great impersonator after 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.

            About the time that the New York “gifted servant of God” came to Trinidad, a date was set for the rapture in June 1974. The Bride was supposed to be translated by the seven thunders and rapturing faith. This seemingly planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of many believers when it did not come to pass, since they made many sacrifices in preparation for the rapture.

            Take notice that this ministry took the same course as the one from India, which is the exaltation of a man (a false prophet) and his ministry, publishing of literature, tapes also, and songs written to exalt him, his ministry and projections; contradicting and changing of the message of Brother Branham; higher swelling revelations than that which the messenger taught, changing of the moral standards of the message, super spirituality and fanaticisms, evident by a date set for the rapture. This impersonator also came to naught, their date for the rapture failed, and he himself is despised by many whom he deceived. It proves that that was not the Thunders and the ministry of Christ to perfect the Bride, because it ended up in imperfection, divisions, perversion of the message, adulteries, false doctrines of Trail of the serpent is Ham’s Sodomy with Noah, and Seven Thunders are seven Virtues, seven Live voices of the church Ages.  

            The Seven Thunders and the ministry of Christ in the end time is to be a-vindicated by the creative power of God, the Third pull. This impersonator, like all others on the field today, many who are his offsprings, are exposed as heretics and false anointed ones, self proclaimed eighth messengers, evident by a lack of that a-vindication. If you are sitting under an eighth messenger, examine him by the same promise of a-vindication. 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:

Mr. 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 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 hold 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 claimed 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)

 

Quote W.M.B.: "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:

Mr. 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:

Mr. 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 offsprings. 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. 

 

 

Heretical Article No. 60: It was reported from overseas by impersonators under the influence of this model impersonator, that they had seven revelations from God to the bride for the present hour. Reports from India are as follows:

“This incident was preached by Joseph Colman and this is being preached in Bombay by some preachers. I don't believe this. Even I have discussed with some of the believers, that this is untrue. But I am presenting you the contents of the messages hereby:

It happened in Western Kenya 13/8/1994 - Br. Branham came to those brothers in the theophany body and told seven points to them.

1) He did not expect the message to be going the way it is now going.

2) The preachers of the message here changed the message itself.

3) The preachers and believers are quoting the message more than believing what he preached.

4) Many people have gone astray from the message - backsliders.

5) The only thing the preachers have done is to bring people to the church, but not to Christ (baptism of the Holy Ghost).

6) When we had time we wasted it, rather than getting on the fire.

7) These people don't know that God has come down.

           

E.O.D.H. Answer: By a casual examination, of these so-called seven fold revelation of Brother Branham in his theophany, we can observe that this is a fabrication to revive Coleman’s seven thunders isms, heresies and cult, which has lost most of its popularity by rejecters and impersonators, which he produced in numerous numbers since 1974.

            I firmly state that we do not need Brother Branham to appear in his theophany to the church or to reiterate the things that he has already taught in his message and which were clearly expressed for years concerning the falling away from the faith of Malachi 4:5-6. This claim also reflects some of the ressurectionists’ ideologies of the resurrection heresy, which is popular and prevalent amongst prominent men hiding in the shadows, who are too afraid, to openly make known their doctrine, except by indicating their beliefs by saying that all promises of the message must be fulfilled by Brother Branham. Brother Branham said, “If you see someone after they die they are in Hell.”

Joseph Coleman is the biggest impersonator that the message world has ever seen.

 

 

DEFENDERS OF FALSE THUNDERS

 

 

So now that our Exposition books have gone out, tracts and some tapes, they are arising from every secret chamber, arising from every secret closet, and some are coming out of their dens. Those books exposed their false thunders and told them that they are a cult; so different ones are arising who followed this thing from 1973 up to date. 

Twenty-nine years the false anointed ones had to sow their seeds and over night Exposition books went out and are causing some trouble. The last one, the response that we got from it, is that it is the greatest book ever written and it’s a masterpiece- Five Doctrinal Divisions Message Believers- showing that all the people that follow the message in the world fit into one of these five categories and only one category is right.

The demands for that book are great. They want them by the stacks and it is causing a stir, but it is causing “thunders” men, “thunders” heroes, “thunders” teachers, “thunders” preachers to come out of their holes like zandolees [Lizards. Ed.] to attack the Word of God. They want to know, “Who is this little fellow?” Who are these people? I am inside there fighting the battle.  It’s letters after letters, fax after fax. I’m fighting the strong bulls of Bashan, and the oaks of Lebanon are falling. I am not saying this boastfully: not one of them is able to withstand the Word of God. In every angle they came they were whipped. Everyone that claimed the thunders, there is only one question that I’m asking them: “Who interpreted the unknown language? Who interpreted the unknown language to you to get the seven thunders?” They jump like a rabbit here and there. I said, “Come back to the question.” Two letters…three letters. I said, “Come back right here. Who interpreted the unknown language to you to get the seven thunders? What is the coming of the Lord? It is hiding under the seven thunders. How He came? Where He came? You got to tell me that.” Oh it’s too much! 

So one fellow got some of our books. He wrote me a letter and he sent me two books here- “Seven Seals are Opened”; “Seven Thunders are Revealed”. He put no name on his bullets.  He put no address where I could reach him. He told me the next book I write, to write a book of corrections. I am doing that right now sir, but to you. And if these two books are heretical and you have no name on it and address, I will have to put a name and an address. The author is a heretic and the address is hell (The regions of the lost). That shows that you are a coward! I put my name and my ministers put their names on our books and gave you our addresses. If you could defend your perversion of Brother Branham’s message and there is no name and no address on your books, you are a coward. I don’t know if you are a man or a woman. It looks to me like a woman, and if you are a man you have on a dress.

So, I will read Mr. Heretic’s book addressed from hell (The regions of the lost).

 

 

“AN ANSWER TO EXPOSITION OF DAMNABLE HERESIES”

Author: Mr. Heretic – Regions of the lost.

 

            Mr. Heretic: “It is a sad day when the Truth of the Message is called a damnable Heresy.  You need to check all of the Quotes on a subject before printing man’s interpretation of certain subjects. 

            On Page 55 Heretical article 11, “the thunders were revealed by Bro. Branham.” They were! Where have you been for the past 35 Years? The quotes by the prophet says they were. Can’t you Accept his words?

            On Page 30, the statement was made: “the 7^’th Seal was not Opened by Bro. Branham.” Such a false statement, when all the 7 Seals were opened.  They are mysteries, and every mystery was revealed by the 7’th angel of Rev.10:7.”  Read These quotes I send, and then print another book of Correction.  The Word always corrects the error!”

 

E.O.D.H.: This is subtle isn’t it? Let me answer you here sir because, you said to answer you in another book.

 

Mr. Heretic: “…It is a sad day when the truth of the message is called a damnable heresy.”

 

E.O.D.H.: We are not calling the message a damnable heresy. We are calling the cult of the thunders that started in New York with a death seed (you have your navel string buried down there), we call that a heresy. 

 

Mr. Heretic: “You need to check all of the quotes on a subject before printing man’s interpretation of certain things.” 

 

E.O.D.H.: You are guilty of that. You gave me quotations and you jump like a rabbit from beginning to end. I have fulfilled your request on Sunday. I have checked all the quotations from 1962 to 1965 and you will get this book also. 

 

Mr. Heretic: “On page 55 Heretical article 11, “the thunders were revealed by Brother Branham.” They were! Where have you been for the past 35 Years.  The Quotes by the prophet says they were. Can’t you Accept his words?” 

 

E.O.D.H.: Yes, I could accept his words but I refuse to accept your dogma. Where have I been for the thirty five years? In school number one. I have been going to school in school number one (Brother Branham’s school), and I am asking you, “Since when did you join school number two?”

 

Mr. Heretic: “…the 7 Seals were opened. They are mysteries, and every mystery was revealed by the 7’th angel of Rev.10:7.” 

 

E.O.D.H.: One was not revealed, sir! According to the facts of the seventh seal, he said one was not revealed to him, and that one which was not revealed was outside of the book. You are mixing up two different things. The mystery inside of the book was revealed by Revelation 10:7, and all were revealed; but there is a mystery outside of the book and there is a flying Angel holding that one-mystery. You are mixing up the flying angel with the walking angel. 

 

Mr. Heretic: “Read these quotes I send, and then print another book of Correction.”

 

E.O.D.H.: We are doing that now sir and I hope you could read it.

 

Mr. Heretic: “The Word always corrects the error!”

 

E.O.D.H.: Amen! And this is what the Word is going to do right now. I am on the subject of seventh seal Misinterpretation, therefore I bring your subject under consideration before many hundreds of people, and you are stating here, on a twenty-four-page book, that the seventh seal was revealed, and you have a five-page book that the seven thunders was revealed. The very reason you have a five-page book on the thunders revealed is that you are force fitting your doctrine into the message. I am preaching that the seventh seal is not revealed and I can’t finish up until now. Sunday was two and three-quarter hours and tonight might be three hours and we aren’t finished yet. Oh yes, I will pick you up on the subtitle that you have here, Mr. whosoever you are, man or woman, and you quote a scripture here to prove that the seventh seal was opened. The scripture you are quoting Revelation 8:1: “And when he had opened the seventh seal there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”

Brothers and sisters, we as third world people, put these intellectual giants from the first world to shame. They cannot read their own Bibles. They cannot understand English. Don’t make a third world country man teach you how to read your Bible, sir. Anybody could have read that in the days of Martin Luther in Revelation 8:1 when he translated the Bible- “And when he had opened the seventh seal” and claim the same thing that the seventh seal was opened in the days of Luther. So your scripture has no foundation.  Brother Branham read this same scripture in Rev. 8:1 and concluded that it was not revealed; so your scripture cannot stand up. You are misplacing the Word of God. Now hear this. We quoted him just like he said it. He is giving me a quotation from the seventh seal to prove that the seal was opened; and that is what they do. They take out quotations here and there from the seventh seal and picking like white fowls, but they would not eat much of it, and when they write their books and come to the pulpit they say, “Here you see, he said it is open. Here he said it is open.” But they pull it and twist it subtly and wrest the scripture and take it out of its scriptural context to make it say what it did not say.

The way I will counteract this misquotation is by the quotation of Brother Branham and reading it in its own context.

 

  Quote: 557-2 “No angels singing, no praises, no--no altar service, no nothing. There was silence, hush, deadly silence in heaven for a half hour. All the host of heaven was silent for this half hour, when this Seventh Seal mystery in the Book of Redemption was broke open. Think of it; but it's broke. The Lamb breaks it…You know what? They were awed by it, I believe. They didn't know. There it was; they just stopped. Why? What is it?” (Seventh Seal 24/3/63).

 

This man is using page 557 to show where Brother Branham said the seventh seal was broken. You know what he done, he took out just a little part from the context of it and even stopped abruptly in the paragraph to just make Brother Branham say what he did not want to say.  I will prove you a liar right now.  That is exactly what the serpent done in the Garden of Eden.  Oh yes.  He said, “Ye shall not surely die”.  I am going to read it to this congregation and we are all familiar with it and I am going to show you that you are a liar and you are misinterpreting the Word of God. 

I will continue to read the quotation of the prophet in its right context.

 

Quote W.M.B.: 557-3 “Now, none of us know; but I'm--I'm going to tell you my revelation of it. And now, I am not prone to be a fanatic. If I am, I'm ignorant of it. See? I am--I'm not given away to such as "leerious" or carry-ons and imaginary things. I've said some things might been kind of strange to some people, but when God comes around behind it and vindicates it and says it's the Truth, then that's God's Word. It may seem strange that way. See?

557(4) And now, as certain as I stand in the platform tonight, 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. And then you... Let's go over there first. Here's the revelation to begin what... I want to tell you what it is. What happens is that 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.

  557-5 Now, why? Let us prove it. Why? It is the secret that no one knows about.” (The Seventh Seal 24/3/63).

 

This man is failing to quote all the words of the prophet, Brother Branham. In what this man is quoting here, Brother Branham is speaking of what was going on in heaven, about that time when the Bible said, “And He took the Book and opened the seals…and there was a hush in heaven.” So he is painting that picture back there of what John had seen, where it read there that when he had taken the book and opened the first Seal unto to the seventh seal, and when he came to the seventh seal everything hushed. But then Brother Branham continued to speak now, and he said, “We don’t know that revelation”.

All right, this man tried to find quotations…and I don’t have time with his nonsense! You will get the facts of the Seventh Seal, and you’d better check over your heresy and dogma with Brother Branham’s words and quotations. All right. This man has run straight out of quotations until he had to quote directly from the seventh seal and contradict his own self. Now the name of his book is “Seven Seals Revealed” – the subtitle is “seven seals opened”, and hear what this man put in his book:

 

 “One of the mystery of that Seal, the reason it wasn't revealed, it was seven thunders that uttered their voices, and there it is perfectly, because nothing knows anything about it; wasn't even written. So we're at the end time; we are here.” (568-2{335} The Seventh Seal 63-0324e).

 

That is my quotation. That is Brother Branham’s quotation. God made you contradict your own self. This is page 17 I am quoting from sir, if you forgot your book. And then on the same page I am quoting:

 

“… Now, what this great secret is that lays beneath this Seal, I do not know. I don't know it. I couldn't make it out. I couldn't tell it, just what it and just what it said. 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. (567-1 {322} The Seventh Seal 63-0324e  Pg. 17).

 

This is my quotation. This is what I am resting on. You are confused. The name of your book is “Seven Seals Revealed” and you put quotations to prove that one was not revealed.

Your subtitle says, “Seven seals opened” and you put quotations in here to prove it was not revealed and Brother Branham did not know anything about it. Next quotation (three in a row).

 

“That much we have a understanding of it today, because the rest of it is all unfolded, but this is not unfolded. But setting in my room, and I heard this--or not heard it, rather, but seen it unfold to this seven thunders. Now, that's as far as we can go right there. (576-3 {394} The Seventh Seal 63-0324e Pg. 17).

 

I use these quotations to prove my subject that you put it here, so this is very helpful to me.

 

“...We find that Christ, the Lamb took the--the Book in His hand, and He opened that Seventh Seal. But you see, it's a hidden mystery. No one knows it. But it--it's right along with what He said: no one would know His coming; they also would not know about this seven thunder mystery. So you see, it's connected together. (576-3  {394} The Seventh Seal 63-0324e Pg. 14).

 

“Now, we have in the completion here now, by the grace of God, all the mysteries of the six Seals that's been sealed up, and we understand and know here that the Seventh Seal is not to be known to the public. (576-5 {397} The Seventh Seal  63-0324e  Pg. 14).

           

            “No wonder, it wasn't even written. You see, they hushed; nothing take place then. Angels don't know it; nobody knows when He's coming. But there'll be a... There'll be seven voices of these thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time. So I believe, to us who... If we don't know it, and we--we--it won't be knowed till that time, but it will be revealed in that day, in the hour that it's supposed to be revealed in. (575-6 {392} The Seventh Seal 63-0324e”  Pg. 16).

 

“Remember the Seven Seals is finished. And when those seven revealed truths... One of them He wouldn't permit us to know. We... How many was here at the Seven Seals? Just about all of you, I guess. See? The--the Seventh Seal, He wouldn't permit it.  (23-4 Souls In Prison Now 63-1110m Pg. 22).

 

  “That Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you know; that's His coming. (26-4   Feast Of The Trumpets 64-0719m Pg. 22).

 

 

REVELATION 10: 7 HOLDS NOT SECRET OF 7^TH SEAL, BUT THE FLYING ANGEL DOES

 

 

This man is very supportive to “Exposition of Damnable Heresies.”  So I have to say with all respect

Sir, you are talking nonsense, and you have shamed the third world country people. It looks like you are from the first world, filled with all that American pride and pomp, that caused you all to interpret the words of the prophet and try to damn the rest of the world. Oh yes!

Now on page 11, this Angel that held the Seventh Seal, you are making Him Revelation 10:7, and it’s a lie of the devil. The one that held the 7^th Seal is a flying Angel, and He flew away with it, and He was the one with the rest of the angels who picked up the earthly angel, so you are definitely confused and you have taken these things out of context. I am going to read this here; this is your book page 10:

 

 “And the end time Seal, when it starts, will be absolutely a total secret according to the Bible. Before knowing that... And remember, Revelations 10:1, 7 (1-7, chapter 10:1-7) at the end of the seventh angel's message, all the mysteries of God would be known. We're at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal. 564-2 {301} SEVENTH.SEAL.THE_  JEFF.IN  SUNDAY  63-0324E

 

He is trying to show that all the revelation was supposed to have been revealed to Revelation 10:7, therefore he opened the Seventh Seal.  I am going to give you it in its right context. The Seventh Seal, page 564 (4).

 

564 (4)“…Notice now, for the end of time message this Seal, after all... He--He's revealed all the six Seals, but it don't say nothing about the Seventh…” 

 

Unquote sir; you left that part out and you are forcefully twisting the Word of God, and you are wresting the scriptures to your own destruction.

 

“…but it don't say nothing about the Seventh. And the end time Seal, when it starts, will be absolutely a total secret according to the Bible. Before knowing that... And remember, Revelations 10:1, 7 (1-7, chapter 10:1-7) at the end of the seventh angel's message, all the mysteries of God would be known. We're at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.”

 

We believe all of that. Brother Branham looked forward for the opening of the seventh seal, right through his life, but then he understood differently, and he emphasized that six seals were revealed.

He also twisted another quotation, right here on page 564 paragraph two, in the very same manner. I don’t have time with you. You are trying to prove that seven seals were opened. Now this is the proof, that was used in this book, and that is basically what they use around the world.

 

 

“SEVEN SEALS REVEALED” TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT

 

 

Now everywhere that Brother Branham said, “The seven seals were revealed the other day,” “You remember when He opened the seven seals?”, “You remember when I preached the seven seals?” I will give you a few of their quotations. Some of it, my brother, is taken from “The Rising of the Sun,” “Standing in the Gap,” “Souls in Prison,” “Invisible Union,” “Marriage and Divorce,” “What is the Attraction on the Mountain?” “Seed not Heir with the Shuck,” and a few others here showing you that the Book is opened. So now these intellectual giants, they went on, and when the prophet of God is speaking and says, “You remember when the seven seals were opened the other day”; they went through all his tapes and picked out all of that and said, “You see where the prophet said that the seven seals (not six), seven seals were opened. Don’t you believe the prophet?” Forcibly twisting the Word of God out of context.

All right, Brother Bruce how do you account for that? Brother Bruce, in defending “Exposition of Damnable Heresies,” how do we stand against these Goliaths of America and these giants of America, against all these heresies that they try to push down our throats? Let them know from the seven seals that Brother Branham said that six seals were revealed and one was not revealed, and when Brother Branham said on his tapes and books, “The other day when the seven seals were opened,” he is not referring to seven individual seals, but he is referring to the event of 1963, and he is referring to the seven-sealed Book. He is referring to the seven- sealed Book – the Book that was sealed with seven seals. I have the proof right here for you brethren, and I am going to quote it.

 

Quote W.M.B.: 33-3   “The Lamb took His Book when the Seventh Seal, just ready for it to be opened--the Sixth Seal. Remember, He hid the Seventh Seal from us. He wouldn't do it. When the Angel stood day by day telling it, but then He wouldn't do it on that one. Said, "There's silence in heaven." No one knew. It was the coming of the Lord.” (Souls in prison now 11/11/63).

 

Brother Branham started to say seven seals, but when he caught himself, he thinks that somebody is understanding that all seven are opened, and then he said, “I mean the six seals.” And he explained now, he said, “Remember one of them He would not reveal.” That is 1963 the eleventh month. I will read another one:

 

Quote W.M.B.: 23-4 076 “Now we see these things. Remember the Seven Seals is finished. And when those seven revealed truths... One of them He wouldn't permit us to know. How many was here at the Seven Seals? Just about all of you, I guess. See? The Seventh Seal, He wouldn't permit it.” (Souls in prison now 11/11/63).

 

I am proving to you that it was a terminology that Brother Branham used, a phraseology that Brother Branham used about 1963, when the seven seals were opened, and it was not seven individual seals he was talking about. He was talking about the event of 1963, not the “mysterious event”, but the preaching of the seals. And then, when he caught himself saying, “seven seals were opened”, he would stop and explain; he said, “one of them remember he wouldn’t permit it.” So it was a terminology and a phraseology that the Prophet used by saying “Seven Seals were revealed.” Doubt it anybody! You can’t! I challenge the world.

 

Quote W.M.B.: “This Book's already opened (That's right) just waiting for the Seventh Seal to be identified with the coming of Christ.” (What shall I do with Jesus 24/11/63).

 

The book is open but we are still waiting on something, and that is when the coming of the Lord is understood it will identify the seventh seal.

 

Quote W.M.B.: “That Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you know; that's His coming.” (Feast of the Trumpets 19/7/64).

 

Where were you for the past fifty years, friend? What school are you going to? Didn’t you read that in “Feast of the Trumpet.” Excuse the loudness; but something stirs up on the inside when I hear foolishness; big men talking foolishness, intellectual, smart, subtle.

           

Quote W.M.B.: “You think that little noise out here in Tucson was something, when He opened the six seals, that shook the country around about and caused the talk, wait till this earth receives her baptism!” (Future Home 2/8/64).

 

            How many seals he said were opened? [Congregation says, “Six”]. Six.

 

Quote W.M.B.: “The seventh angel was to open the six-seal mystery. It's all to be gathered up in the Son of man, His fullness of time has come to the Fullness of His Word to manifest the fullness of His Body.” (Proving His Word 16/8/64).

 

Do you have the seventh seal? Are you manifesting the fullness of the Word? Do you have the seven thunders? Is the body manifesting the fullness of this word? Have we gone back to Pentecost?  Absolutely not! Now that is 1964.

 

Quote W.M.B.: “Just wait till we get in to open those plagues and seals and them seven thunders. Watch what takes place. Oh, brother, you better get to Goshen while there's time to get to Goshen. Don't pay any attention to this outside.” (Knoweth it not 15/8/65).

 

You know what that is? Goshen is the only place that judgment won’t be falling. The thunders have to do with the judgments of God, so you’d better run down to Goshen before it comes to the public.

 

Quote W.M.B.: 140 “There it's in the magazine. Told months before it happened. Seven Angels come down, and said the complete revelation of the six-seal mystery of God would be unfolded. And there it was just exactly like He said, predicted before it happened.” (Influence 3/8/63).

           

Seven angels came down and told him that the six-seal mystery will be unfolded and it happened exactly the way that he said it. The six seals were supposed to be opened before the seventh. Six seals were to be opened first and then the seventh seal was to follow. Now who could doubt that? I’ll read this again.

 

Quote W.M.B.: 23-4 “Remember the Seven Seals is finished. And when those seven revealed truths... One of them He wouldn't permit us to know. We... How many was here at the Seven Seals? Just about all of you, I guess. See? The--the Seventh Seal, He wouldn't permit it. He stood right there in the room and revealed every one of them, and if I ever preached anything in my life was inspired, it was that…And remember, in that Sixth Seal, where all Seven Trumpets sounds under that Sixth Seal... When we get to that, you'll see that. Every Seven Trumpet took place in that Sixth Seal. The seven is always a mystery. Watch that seven; that's the finish. That was the coming of the Lord. Heaven was quiet, silent. Nobody moved, because Jesus said Himself, "Not even an Angel of heaven knows when I will return. I don't even know it myself, what time. The Father has put that in His mind. God alone knows it: the Spirit. But I didn't know it." See, it wasn't revealed when that Seventh Trumpet sounded, or the Seventh Angel or--Seal was opened, then there was silence in the heaven: See? It wasn't give away, what would take place.” (Souls in prison 10/11/63).

 

These two books… the gentleman, whoever you are, man or woman… you have no backbone, or you would put your name and address to it and you would let me know who you are so that we can make war. You have misinterpreted the Word of God and you better trace back the seed from where you were born.

 

 

 

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 have 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, “These 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 seven thunders dominate 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 him, 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."

 

 

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

 

 

4^th 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 thread.” 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 thread.

• “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 is 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 those 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 teach, 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 preach the prophet’s 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 doctrines of the heretics you mentioned of 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 on this 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 do these names represent 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 ages book, Dr. Vayle, endeavoring to prove that the church ages book is not Brother Branham’s book but Dr. Vayle’s, spoke about Pearry Green and other unrelated issues, not forgetting, your strange and foolish heresy, that the foolish virgins will be in the Millennium. Will you also correct the prophet {WMB} on his teaching that the foolish virgins are not resurrected until after the thousand years?

I firmly believe that the church ages book was authorized by Brother Branham and contains what he preached on the tapes, with the exception of a few items that were 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 hold 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 do 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 are 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 camel, 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 damn 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:

1. In the grave  during the millennium
2. She will not be in the Bride.
3. She will not rise in the first resurrection but in the general resurrection at the end of the millennium.
4. She will go through the tribulation because she is a professed believer and did not enter the wedding supper.
5. She suffered persecution and was martyred. She had to go through a purification process.
6. 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 be 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 does 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 virgins. 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.
