1Let us bow our heads. Heavenly Father, we truly thank You for

the Psalm, the Word of God. For Thou hast unveiled Your rich trea-sures to us and God we have these in earthen vessels this morning.And Lord Jesus, we thank You for the revelation, which has stimulatedour hearts. God, Thou hast made it real in this age of unbelief. Thouhast so quickened us Lord Jesus, we’re staggering around like drunkpeople. We know, we believe that Thou hast come. For the Word saidthat You’d come with a Shout and a Voice and a Trump of God. AndLord, Thou hast descended down and sent down a Shout. And thisShout has turned our hearts back to the Word of God. And this Wordnow is living in us, moving, having His being in us.

This Word of God is anointed with the Holy Ghost. In thisWord is the Bread of God that is giving us life and giving us a bloodtransfusion. Father, we’re not dead walking around. We’re alive untoGod through the Word of God. Father, quicken Thy sheep this morn-ing. Forgive our sins. Father, may the Holy Spirit brood up over thepeople that when they would go forth from here God, may we be ableto say, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as You come down and spaketo our hearts by the wayside?” Heal all the sick this morning God.Anoint their hearts to believe the Word of God. Anoint Your servant topreach the Word of God. In this hour of unbelief, God, may we standtrue to the Word. Father, may we express from our heart: burns withinus. I can’t help myself. I can’t help but speak the things which I haveseen and heard. And I’ve seen the Word of God because it’s made realin my heart.

Father, make it real to us this morning. Father, heal our spirits,our souls, our minds, our bodies. Make the Word live in our hearts thismorning. Forgive Thy people Lord Jesus. Lift the spirit of oppressionup off the people. God, we pray and ask this in Jesus Christ’s Nameand for His glory. Amen. You may be seated.

We thank God this morning to be here, to be alive. Amen? It’sgood to stand up here again this morning and look out and to see all thesmiling faces this morning, for I thank Brother Dennis for singing thatsong, because we asked him for that song, Sister Coleman and I, for itmeant much to us. And it seems like no matter how many times BrotherDennis sings it, it just means more to me each time. For the words are

2so true, Holy Ghost words. And we thank the Lord to have the testi-mony that we put his trust in Him for our Puerto Rican trip; and theLord brought us all the way through. And that song meant much to methis morning. And I believe that you’ll see that it’ll perhaps dovetail inthe Word of God this morning.

Now we want to greet one and all this morning in the Name ofthe Lord Jesus Christ. We came back last Sunday and the Lord gave usa wonderful spiritual trip. I am positive that the Lord sent us overthere. I know it by the things which happened. And we spoke aboutthese things Wednesday night and it’s on the tape. So we wouldn’twant...if we go into that this morning, then we would never get themessage. But those of you who were here Wednesday night, you heardof the trip. It’s on the tape. But we want to say that we had a tremen-dous trip and God did bless. And as I used the Scriptures, I believe itwas Psalm 119, the testimonies of the Lord. So therefore they werenot my testimonies, they were the testimonies of the Lord. For I haveno testimony but the Word of God. Whatever the Word will do throughme, that’s my testimony. Amen? For we’re alive, we’re alive untoGod and dead to the world. And the only thing that can live is theWord. Amen? Then that is the testimony. All others is wood, stubbleand hay. Amen? Praise God.

So we know that we cannot build on the foundation, anythingelse. So we thank God for that. I want to thank you for all the cardsand letters and prayers most of all. And the letters and cards was a joyto our hearts to be able to go to the post office and to take out a letter orcard from day to day and to always stay in contact with the saints ofGod.

So we had a wonderful time. As a matter of fact, Brother Arvellohanded in a letter this morning written to Sister Elizabeth here. I imaginethat it was written in Spanish. So I thought maybe this more or lessexpresses the trip in short. So I thought I would read it because hetranslated it. Because I believe it was in Spanish. So I feel led to readit. And it’s about the, sum up the trip over in Puerto Rico.

Dear Sister Elizabeth, it says from a sister in the Lord. May theLord...may the Word of the Lord Jesus Christ continue to guide you tothe end. With joy in my heart I am giving answer to your letter, which

3comforted me since I was sorrow...sorrowful at the time because I wasnot able to hear the Word of God through Brother Coleman. But nowI thank God because He heard me and the last night when BrotherColeman was about to say goodbye to the brethren of Puerto Rico, itpleased the Lord, see? She puts the Lord first, to let me hear for thefirst time, through the servant of God, His Word, at Sabena Seca lastFriday.

Of a truth Brother Coleman preached an important messagefor us, which I’ll never forget. The visit of Brother Coleman to PuertoRico has been predestinated by the Lord Himself and has been a greatblessing for me and also edification to the people of God in this island.

Let the glory and honor be the Lord’s. Amen? That I like that.Because it is Him who is illuminating our path and will continue per-fecting our lives till, I say halleluiah, I guess she means here. Youcannot imagine how much I enjoyed it because it is so marvelous theWord, that as the days go by, we feel more close to Him because He isour Father. Amen?

I met a sister from New York and also her parents, Sister RuthRodriguez, and she told me she knows you. It is true what...it is truewhat you say. They are all so humble, so full of the love of God. Icould also meet Sister Coleman, Brother Martinez from New York,Brother Galdona, also Brother Lee Vayle, all which had a wonderfultime in the Lord. That’s a letter from over in Puerto Rico. So we thankthe Lord for it. Amen. So if you was here the other night, then youwould have heard the other part. So we believe that the Lord got theglory. Amen?

And I’m always so happy when God gets the glory. And manhas to keep still. Amen? Who art thou oh men that thou should replyunto God? Amen? That’s the Word of the Lord. That’s just the waythe Lord wants it. Amen? Ah-men. Ah-men. Amen.

We certainly want to thank the Lord for blessing Brother Hunteand Brother Kurt for bringing forth the Word of God, and the deaconsand the brethren and the ushers and all the people, everybody doingwhat the Lord has told them to do. That is wonderful. We see that it’swonderful when you know that the Church of God moves on. It doesn’tneed no one person in particular for anything. It just needs the Holy

4Spirit, consecrated vessels who will give all to God, that the Holy Spiritmight work through man. Amen? That’s wonderful.

Now I see that the Holy Spirit has worked through man. Amen?That is wonderful. The church looks beautiful. Brother Nino and thebrethren are doing a beautiful job. I think there’s a brother in the backfrom Georgia. Is that right brother? Brother King. Right. I askedBrother Hunte, did he recognize him to us, but Brother Hunte didn’tknow him because I met him down in Indiana. He’s from BrotherPalmer’s group down in Georgia. Is that right brother? And so BrotherWillie Ross and Brother Solomon and others, which I met down there.So he’s here. I don’t know how long but he’s sojourning with us andwe’d like to extend ourselves to him, for he’s a brother in the Lord.And he’s here now. But I haven’t spoke with him yet. But I...he sentme a letter over in Puerto Rico, but I...I met him down at the Taber-nacle. So he’s here. It’s wonderful brother, to have you here with us tofellowship as we sojourn here with the Lord.

So now this morning, I have a long message, if you will bearwith me, and quite a few pages. So I have a lot of notes. And if youwant to sit still: if you get tired you can go, it’s all right. I’ll just go onwith the Word of God. For God goes on anyway. Amen? The Word ofthe Lord still goes on whether we stop or whatever we do, the Wordgoes on. Amen. It’ll be all right. It’s all right.

Now turn with me to Revelation 10. I’m gonna read from Rev-elation 10:1 through 7, and Revelation 8, the first verse. And I’mgoing to title this little message, “The Seventh Seal Mystery.” Well I’llread the Scripture first. Revelation 10:1 through 7:

And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven,clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, andhis face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:And he had in his hand a little book open:...We notice two things, the feet, pillar of fire on the earth, the

pillar of fire’s on the earth. And he had in his hand a book open, thebook of redemption is open.

...and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot onthe earth.And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth:...(we see

5again that lion, judgment, he roars in judgment)...and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.Now Seven Thunders spoke out something, because he didn’t

hold it back. It was let go. So it’s out.And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I wasabout to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying untome, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered,and write them not.And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon theearth lifted up his hand to heaven.And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who createdheaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, andthe things that therein are, and the sea, and the things whichare therein, that there should be time no longer.But in the days...(notice now)...in the days of the voice of theseventh angel,...(on the earth)...when he shall begin to sound,...When this seventh angel on the earth now, when he just starts

to sound, when he first starts, see, the mystery of God should finishright then, when he first sounds out. Within a few days, it should beover. Amen?

...as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.And Revelation 8:And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silencein heaven about the space of a half an hour.May the Lord add a blessing to the reading of His Word. Now

this is tremendous Scriptures. Amen? And I myself cannot open thisup. The Holy Spirit has...He has to bring this this morning. So I’m nothere to open up the Word because I cannot open the Word of God up.But we know that He has come down and opened His Word to usthrough a Prophet.

And this tape here, naturally, is for this congregation here, forsometimes the tape gets out, the tapes, they get out and if it should getout, this is what I feel led to preach to our people here. And I have tostand and also be judged for this. And therefore it has to be accordingto the Word of God. And I wouldn’t say anything if it wasn’t in theWord of God and also on the tapes. So if it should go out, people

6understand that I have to stand for this. And I’m not going to sayanything if it’s not in the Word of God and it’s not on the tapes. Amen?

So therefore, it’s been my desire, it seemed like when I wentaway to get closer to God: Sister Coleman and I wanted to rededicateour lives to God. We want to rededicate our lives to one another, to getto know one another closer and the family. For that’s the way Goddoes, see? You get closer together. We’re all a family. See? And sothe Lord did bless us in this. And meanwhile I asked the Lord when Igo back, “What could I say to the people to bring Christ down to thepeople?” See? And so a greater...you can only do this by revelation. Itmust come by revelation. And the Holy Spirit must do it. So we seetoday that people are so confused, they aren’t sure whether the Lorddid come or whether He is to come. Is the Third Pull the SeventhSeal? Is it to be a tent over there or is it a white horse rider? Or is it theSon of Man doctrine? Now these are doctrines, which I’ve heard aboutand they’ve been loosely spoken about and some people believe inthese, because I don’t condemn them.

But if it’s supposed to be the Message, then I believe that youcan mention it. Because it’s not supposed to be in secret. So peopleactually believe that there is to be a Third Pull in a tent and that theProphet of the Lord is to come on a white horse and he’d be the son ofman. Some of the doctrines, they all have variations and so forth. So,we love all the brethren. So, I mean according to the ministry that Godhas given you, so let that man minister.

Therefore I can only minister according to what the Holy Spirittells me. And all I know is the Word. That’s all I can give out is theWord of God. I cannot give out what I think, my own ideas, my ownreasonings, my own desires, my own lusting against the Spirit. I can’tgive that out because God, He cannot quicken that. He quickens HisWord in the Word Age. Amen?

So these things are all fine, white horse riders and son of manand they say there’s no Rapture. That’s all right. And there’s got to bea tent ministry, it must be one. That’s all right because if we are in theWord, well we’ll just go from day to day. The just shall live by faith.Amen? If tomorrow the Word said that there will be a tent, then thejust who’s living by faith today will move right on into the tent. Amen?

7So we don’t take no thought for tomorrow. Amen? We just live fortoday. And He has given us the Bread of Life to live for today. Amen?So it’s with that thought.

So now I just want to take my time. And like I say, I pray theLord that it’ll be not too long but it takes...you have to come around acertain way to get to what you want to say. So now I’m not speakingagainst nobody, against nobody’s tent ministry or white horse riderdoctrine or the son of man doctrine or whatever it is, I’m just speakingfor the Word. See what I mean now? For we are to be witnesses of theWord of God.

And like Peter and them, who walked close with the Word.When they got over and when the press come, see, from the Council.When the press finally did come, well then they had the Word to meetthe press. Amen? So I want to have the Word of God, when this pressby the World Council comes, I want to meet it with the Word. Not inmy own idea, not a son of man doctrine or a white horse rider doctrineor going into a tent ministry and sitting down and watching things.But I must meet that press with the Word of God. Amen? The Wordthat the Prophet delivered. He said it fell on the floor of God’s House.Your servant reporting for duty. It’s there. There’s the Word. It’seagle food in its season. Amen? That’s the only thing that we can liveby.

And then...in Jeremiah, it said that this eagle food is fire in mybones. Amen? I can’t help but speak it. David said that because heheld his peace, he was dumb with silence. It was the Word. Amen.And Peter said that we ought to obey God rather than man. That wasthe Word. Amen? Peter said we can’t help but speak these things thatwe’ve seen and heard. What things? The things which he walkedwith, the Word for three and a half years. That’s what he gave out tothe people, the Word of God that liveth and abideth forever. Amen?

Then that’s all that we can give out today, is the Word of God.So we see then, that when God sends the Word of God in the form of amessage, in the form of His thoughts, His attributes for that people, forthat time, for that Age, this is called a Message of God. And He’s hadmany messages. Noah and all the prophets and Moses and right ondown through John the Baptist and also Peter and them and right on

8down, Luther and Wesley and so forth. All is a message but it’s athought. God’s thought, His mind, what He had in His mind beforethe foundation of the world for that Age.

God wants to express it, see, for the Age. Then that Message,see God is so great that He can get Himself down to the simple-minded.And He don’t want anything hard. Amen? I mean He don’t wantanything that’s gonna put a burden upon anybody. If somebody wasover in Africa, and he sent a message only to America and he had to bein a certain place, that would put a burden on somebody in Africa.Amen? But He don’t do that, see? So He sends the Word of God. AndHe said that my yoke is easy and my burdens are light. You won’t haveto fly in airplanes and go over there and go over here.

It says when they tell you that, lo, it’s here and lo it’s there,don’t go after them. Amen? For the Kingdom of God is within you. Itcomes not with observation. See what I mean now? But it’s in you.There’s a burning fire in you. Amen. It’s the Word in you. Amen.Praise the Lord.

So we see then that God sends a simple Message, see, to thepeople before He comes. See what I mean now? But if you’re realspiritual, that simple Message actually is Himself hidden. Amen? Allthe time, see, He...the Bible says so. The Spirit of Christ was in Noah.Amen? The Spirit of Christ was in Noah hidden. And they called itfoolish. Amen? So they always stumble over a God hidden Message.It’s been that way in every Age. The Word of the Lord come to theProphet, that’s God in the Prophet. But He’s veiled in flesh, amen?And they never see that. But they look for flowery things and so forth,all the time. Then if it started that way, shouldn’t it be that way in theend time? See?

So God always sends a simple Message to the people beforeHe comes. And this Message actually is Himself hidden in simplicity.Amen? And the smart miss this by a million miles all the time. See?People always had their own interpretation of what Christ was to be inHis first Coming. See? And He come in such a simple way that thewhole Jewish church stumbled over Him. Amen? They all stumbledover Him, see?

So I believe that history has repeated today in His second Com-

9ing, He’s come in such a humble, simple way that the people are stum-bling over His Coming with looking for tents, looking for a white horseriders, and looking for son of man doctrine and all kind of things, they’relooking for these things. To me, I believe that they’re stumbling be-cause the Bible says that the disciples stumbled over John, amen? Johnwas the Elijah of the day and his disciples didn’t know he was Elijah.Though they heard the Word of the Lord from him. Amen? It wasn’teven until three years later that Christ told His disciples: who? Peter,James, and John and them, that they had missed Elijah. He’s alreadycome and you didn’t know it. Amen?

Do we see history repeating today? Well then history, if it wereto repeat, we would have to see with our eyes, see, when God wouldmake this known again, reveal it again, that William Branham’s dis-ciples must stumble over him being Elijah: God hidden, see? Andlook for something else; look for Him to come again in a tent maybe,or as the Son of Man or they would look for his second coming. ButHe didn’t tell us that. He said look for the second Coming of Christ.He pointed us to Jesus, the Word of God. He never pointed him to...usto himself. He always pointed us to the Word of God as any true Prophetwill. Amen?

So we see then that he come in such a simple way that theystumbled over it, see? So we see then that history has repeated againtoday. The disciples stumbled over John. Now since we’re taking ourtime and we’re trying to lay down a bed here, I want to read somethingabout...concerning the tent ministry. Now I’d like to take this right offthe tapes because it’s not what I said, see? It’s what the tape says.

Now this was a tape, “God Hidden In Simplicity,” before hestarted this great ministry. And he says this was concerning St. Mat-thew 17. Now these are his words almost to the letter of the word.

Why do the scribes say Elias must first come? See? This is thescribes speaking back to him. And he’s saying, and the Son of Man isgoing up to Jerusalem, I’m gonna be put into the hands of sinners andthey’re gonna kill the Son of Man, and He’s gonna die the third day.But don’t nobody...but don’t tell nobody the vision. And the third day,He’s gonna rise the third day.

Now His disciples, now think of it, His own disciples, who had

10walked, talked and also eat with John in the wilderness, why does theteachers say Elias must first come? Now, now you must think on that,see? You say you’re going up to the crucifixion because you’re gonnarise and take the Throne. Now why, this is His disciples speakingback. Now why does the scribes, the Scriptures, say, the Scripturesplainly say before Christ comes, Elias will come first? He said, he’salready come and you didn’t know it.

Now who was that? The disciples. I’m gonna hurt here just alittle bit, but don’t mean it. This is Brother Branham’s words. Whythen...why them men who had walked with Christ, John’s own dis-ciples, and didn’t know it...and didn’t even know Him. Why the teacherssay, Elias must first come and restore all things. He did to a half adozen people, that’s all there was...that’s all that was ordained to see it.Jesus said He done what the Scriptures said He would, He restored thething, you all that believes on me. That’s all it was. See? It’s sosimple.

And they did to Him what the Scripture said it would. Are youready? This is what the Prophet said now. He said the Rapture will bethe same way. It will be so simple, no doubt, no doubt, it will belikewise till the Rapture will come one of these days and nobody willknow nothing about it. The Rapture will come in such a simple wayuntil the judgments will fall and they will see the Son of Man and theywill say, “Wasn’t we supposed to have such and such? Wasn’t it sup-posed to be Elias sent to us? Wasn’t there supposed to be a Rapture?”Jesus will say, “It’s already happened and you didn’t know it.” God insimplicity.

The Rapture, it still his words, will be so few go in that Bride,one will leave Jeff., Georgia, Africa, two will be in the bed, the milland the field, everything will move. Now notice these words righthere. Everything will move just as calm as it can be. A fanatic mes-sage will go by, see? A fanatic message will go by and it did. It wenton by, it’s gone, see?

A fanatic message will go by, first thing you know a ministerwent somewhere, people will be missing, grave opening, not your way,see, it will be a secret. He come like a thief in the night. And then thejudgment will strike, sins, plague, sickness, people will cry unto the

11Lord. He’ll say, “It’s already come and you didn’t know it.” Godhiding Himself in simplicity.

Now why don’t believers believe the simple signs of His Com-ing? They’re expecting great signs, moon, stars, it’s already passedand you didn’t know it. Why can’t people believe simple voice of thesign? The sign in St. Luke 17:30. And the voice of Malachi 4. That isthe Word of God. Amen?

Why can’t they believe that? They’re own interpretations theywant, what they want, see? Even the visions, now notice this, Godgives right here at the place, so misunderstood. That’s the reason youhear me on the tapes say, “Say what the tapes say. Say what the visionssay.” Now if you’re wide awake, you’ll see something. I hope I don’thave to hold my hand to show you. It’s here. We’re at the end. Simplevisions revealed in simplicity goes over their heads. See?

John came on the Word. “I’m not the Messiah. I’m the voiceof one crying in the wilderness.” Amen, see? He said, “I’m not. I’mthe voice.” For the Prophet, we just read here, he’s the voice. Amen?In the days of the voice of the seventh angel. See what I mean now?That’s who he was, the voice. But they don’t believe that, see? I hopeand trust that the message will produce what it was intended to do, thatit will get you to a place that you don’t look for flowery things orsomething. See? When you see God in greatness, look how humble itis, then you will see God.

Elijah in the cave, sensations never bothered Elijah because heheard the Word and walked out. Don’t look for great big things be-cause Elijah saw the fire, the great earthquake, whirlwind. That didn’tbother him. He waited till the still small Voice of the Word of God.Amen?

So all these sensations all around here, you’ve got to go here,this is it. I call them all lying vanities. Amen? Jonah called all lyingvanities and he looked to the temple where Solomon had prayed theWord of God that God would help His people in time of trouble if theylooked to the temple. And then therefore Jonah called everything aroundhim lying vanities. Amen? I call it all lying vanities. I look to theWord of God in this hour that I know it’s the hour to deceive me. Iknow that. I’ve been told that. Then I would be deceived if possible,

12if possible. But we cannot be deceived, for you are the purchase of theBlood of Jesus Christ. How can you be deceived when He’s in you? Ablood cell in your heart? The germ of life in your heart and the Life ofGod pumping oxygen through you. Amen? That’s you, the Bride ofJesus Christ. Don’t let the devil deceive you with anything. Amen.

So we see friends then that this was just because I wanted toread it. He says, don’t look for great big things that never come topass. It’ll pass right over you. Be humble, know God, anything wrong,see?

So we thank God for that. Now Christ comes according to HisWord. Amen? But His Word is always contrary to people’s own inter-pretations, all the time. Amen? It’s always contrary to their own ideas,their own reasonings, their own desire. I mean, they want God to comethe way they want Him to come. And then they aren’t satisfied if Hedon’t come that way. See what I mean now?

So therefore, I’m mindful as a minister of God this morningthat the Prophet preached a Message and he said no matter how sin-cere you are, see, you can’t bring up that cart. See what I mean now?There’s five things you must do, see? It must be His time to do it in, bein His season. It must be according to His Word that has been spoken.What’s been spoken? The Shout, already. I call everything else con-trary to the Word of God. I call it all lying vanities, if it’s not accordingto the Shout Message, which has gone forth, dovetailing with the Bible.Amen? Okay.

It must be given according by the person He has chosen to do itby. It must first come to His Prophet, Amos 3:7. The Prophet must bevindicated by the Word of God. Those are the five things. Now we seewhy, when he went off the scene, he knew he’d go off, he’d go off thescene in ’65, and here’s ’66, the year of man. Six is man’s number.But God laid out a foundation for men to build upon for those threeyears and then as soon as the Prophet went off the scene, it didn’t takeno time. Moses went up on the mount, Israel rose up to play. Amen?And right away, they heaped to themselves a teacher, having itchingears. Amen?

They had on golden earrings, which God gave them, allowedthem to get it down in Egypt. He gave them the gold and the silver and

13the raiment in Egypt. And brought them out with it and they broke offthose golden earrings. Is that right? And twisted that until...into agolden calf. Amen? Today, spiritually speaking, we have gold faith,amen? And they’re breaking off the original faith, that the Prophetwasn’t even hardly warm in the grave, cold in the grave, amen?

And they begin to break it off in January. This man say he is inthe Seventh Seal. This man is Joshua. This man is Moses. This manis this here. And I’ll take them over. Then you’ve got to be...you mustgo to this place. And you’ve got to be in the tent ministry otherwiseyou’re out of the Message, and there’s a son of man in here, a whitehorse rider, see?

They broke off the Word faith that the Prophet restored to ourheart; broke it off. And begin to twist it and mold it and shape it into agolden calf. Amen? And shouted and danced around it and worshippedGod in that same doctrine right now. But when it ripened...it all reallysprung up and took...because it must come up. This is now harvestseason. It must be ripened now, therefore it come up in ’66.

But those of you who have stayed with that Word throughoutall that time, you’re being blessed now. Amen? God is watering Hisseed. You took the Word. They took other things, but you took thepure, unadulterated Word of God and God loves that. He wants you toobey His Word. And that’s why the glory of God is shining upon you.That's now. That’s why the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, the shed Bloodis just hanging over you. It’s the canopy of Life that’s over you now.That’s the Blood. But it’s a Spirit, it’s the Presence of the Son, and it’squickened you to the Word of God and you’re living it. Amen.

And people see that now. It’s a manifestation of the Word madeflesh for the hour. Amen? And the Word for this hour is...they say,how can we work the works of God? Believe on Him that was sent.Who, a tent? A white horse rider? No. Malachi 4, with the originalmessage, the original manna. And we have that privilege today, likethose other priests who went in there for a mouthful of the originalmanna, amen? God has given our souls a mouthful of the originalmanna that fell on the Day of Pentecost; the same Word will have thesame manifestation. Amen? That’s your privilege friends.

But enter in to the Third Pull, inside of the most Holy Place.

14Amen? There you’ll see the Glory of God in there. It’s your privilegeto have a mouthful of it for your soul. Amen? A soul full of it. Amen?And it flows in there. Amen. Praise God. Where am I at now?

So we see then friends, that the Bible said that these thingswould come, see? That, we know that He comes by His Word. Nownotices, He said that, in I Thessalonians 4:16, that the Lord Himselfshall descend from heaven with a shout and the voice of the Archangeland the trump of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. Amen?

Now that’s the way...He must come that way. You can’t breakthat. Amen? He must come with a Shout. He said so. And He ain’tgonna break...other words, He said He would come with a Shout. Thatwould be His Coming. But like I told you, He always disguises HisComing in a Prophet, with a message. So then the others were lookingfor something else, something flowery, something over there, over there,over there, they missed it, they stumbled over it. Following me now?

As we’ll get down in the message, I’m laying a backgroundhere, as you’ll see later on why, see? So therefore friends, three thingshappens before the Lord appears, see? Now three things happens be-fore He appears in the sky. But notice now, He cannot appear in thesky until the Seven Seals are broke. Then He can leave the Mercy Seatand descend in the sky. But send down a Shout first as He’s comingdown. He’s on the way down, see, He’s coming up the road. The Arkis coming up the road and He sends down a Shout to get His peopleready. His Prophet had the mouth of God, a mouthpiece. And hedeclared the mysteries of God. It was to get the Bride ready and you’regetting ready, as we’ll see.

He’s still descending. He’s coming down. He sent down theShout first. He’s still on His way down. Amen? And the next thing isa Voice to call the dead in Christ back, amen, to get us ready. Thenwhat are you looking for something flowery for? He’s already comeand you didn’t know it. Amen? The Word of God, see?

So therefore Jesus does all three, see, of them while He’s de-scending. Amen? While He’s descending, He does all three. He sendsa Shout through His Prophet hid in simplicity. Amen? Hid. The blinddon’t see it. It’s not for them. They laugh at it. They scoff at it. Theysay, “Where is the promise of His coming?” The promise of His com-

15ing is Malachi 4. There’s the promise of His coming and it’s here.Amen?

He went out and preached, “The Rapture,” tape out there. Hehad to preach it among scoffers. For that’s...he read the Scripture.Scoffers would say, “Where is the promise of His coming?” And that’swhere he preached it right there in Yuma, and they just laughed at it,smoked and banged the dishes around and so forth. And there it was.

I believe it’s said of him, I believe he made this remark, be-cause I ain’t sure that if the Lord would come tonight there wouldn’tbe one ready. See what I mean now? But don’t fear because Elijah, ifhe had Elijah’s nature, he had to say the same thing. Amen? Elijahsaid there’s nobody here but me Lord. I’ve got seven thousand thathave not bowed their knees to Baal. And then God knew He had aBride somewhere. He had a few up in New York, a few over here, afew over there, a few over there who knew: who was here in MarkAuditorium; he said, “I’m a Prophet according to Malachi 4.” Youwere there. You knew it. You heard it with your ears. You seen it withyour eyes and you can’t help but speak that. I don’t care how manylying vanities come to you; you say, “It’s the Word, for I heard it inSodom, New York.” The Prophet stood there bold and declared, “I’ma Prophet according to Malachi 4.” Amen. The sign of the end time.

And the golden Cross flowed into his chest out there, as he sawin a vision. The Cross is a sign of the end time. Brother Samy’s letterfrom the Prophet’s own handwriting. What’s up there then? Sign ofthe end time. Scoffers here in New York don’t even believe it. “It’spossible light, it’s this.” It’s a sign of the end time.

They can’t believe it. They weren’t ordained to believe it. Onlythe Bride can get it for God must give it to Her. Amen? Praise theLord. So we see friends that the Shout brings the Message. Amen? Itgoes first. The Word always goes first. What happened when theycrossed over Jordan? You get back now, amen, and let the Ark go first.Amen? Get behind the Ark because you haven’t been this way before.You know that it’s a secret. Amen? You don’t know anything about it.You haven’t been over here before.

The Seventh Seal is a secret, isn’t it? Get behind the Ark then.Amen? Not behind a man-made doctrine, but the Ark. See what I

16mean now? So the Shout is the Message. It goes forth first. Theliving Bread bringing forth the Bride. Amen? Bringing forth the Bride.The Bread brings forth the Bride, the Bread, not ideas and man’s inter-pretation, but the Bread does that. See what I mean now?

Jesus descends. The first thing is a Shout. A Shout is a Mes-sage to get the Bride ready, get them all together, lamp trimming time.For it’s the seventh watch. And that’s the watch when they’re standingthere, standing alive waiting and watching for the soon coming of theLord. Amen?

It’s just like a story: army bivouac. There’s always sentries onguard duty and the army’s laying out there asleep. Amen? Then all ofa sudden, the general comes into the camp at midnight. The sentriessee him first. You did. Amen? And then he calls it to attention with ashout. Amen? And then the centuries, the watchful, waiting ones inthe third watch see him first. But the general suddenly appears, amen,at midnight and says, “let’s move out of here.” Amen? Then a buglersounds. Amen? The trumpet is blasting. They all rise up. Trim yourlamps. Amen? And then they fall in line, those who are watching andwaiting on guard duty, and those who were sleeping get up, amen, andget in line. And then the general tells them move out. Amen? Forwe’re going to Heaven.

But we must wait for marching orders. We can’t go nowhereuntil we receive the Voice, the marching orders. We’ve seen the Gen-eral in the Camp and He’s walking around and watching everything. Itbetter be ready too. Amen? He’s the general of the army. Amen. He’sin the Camp. The Shout of the King is in the Camp. Amen? He’shere. That’s what you’re feeling now.

He said, “I send down My Anointing.” It’s in here now mov-ing all around you, brooding over you, showing you all these things.Has the Book of the Lamb’s Book opened up to you? All theunsearchable riches of Jesus Christ being made manifest to you. Isaid, the unsearchable riches of Christ, not the world, not a tent minis-try or a son of man doctrine: but the unsearchable riches of Christ, theWord. Amen? That’s what He’s showing. If you want anything else,go ahead and take it. Because Eve did. Amen? But not the Bride, Shewon’t do it. She’s predestinated. Amen?

17Listen, what you are going to do tomorrow and the next week

and the next month, He’s already cleansed you for it. Amen? There-fore, I mean, you can’t fail. The Blood has perfected you already.You’re justified. Amen? From when? Next month? No. Before thefoundation of the world, God has justified you. Amen. Amen? Imean, what are you all nervous about? Huh? What are you fallingdown for? Look up for your redemption draweth nigh. Amen. Is thatright?

When the...over in St. Luke 21, when these signs begin to ap-pear, when the signs begin to appear, amen? They’ll see the face of theLord up in the sky. We saw that. The Seven Seals, seven angels wentinto the face of the Lord. The Prophet walked out there last Easter,’65, turned the picture this way and pointed to it, “Behold the Lamb ofGod.” There it was. He said, when you see that, look up for yourredemption draweth nigh. Amen. Praise God. Amen? That’s what hesaid.

So we’re just trying to...we’re preaching the Shout. Somethingto shout about too. Amen? Praise God. We want to find out where arewe today? Friends, you are walking right into the Resurrection. You’reright there, a hair breath away. It’s only a half an hour. That’s all it is.The Prophet’s gone, almost going into the second year now. Followme now? How close is it then? It’s here, see?

So Jesus, see He can’t trust nobody. So Ezekiel 34, He said, Iwill come down Myself. I’ll get my own sheep. Amen? I’ll take herfrom these false prophets who feed their selves, sheer off the wool.Amen? I’ll take them out of their hands Myself. With what? TheWord, the Sword of the King, The King, not a king, The King. Amen?The pure Sword, the golden Sword. And I’ll take their sword and I’llcut them out of those different denominations, I’ll cut them out of theties over here. I’ll reveal the secrets to their heart, Malachi 4 is here.Trim your lamps, get ready. Amen?

And when they get this revelation, they will renounce the world.They will denounce it. They’ll be like Joshua, who’s on the Lord’sside, come and stand over here. Amen? We’re standing by the Lord’sside, the Word. So I’m standing for the Word this morning, against alllying vanities. For I believe that Christ is at the door. Amen.

18So we see it’s Malachi 4 time, St. Luke 17:30 time, Revelation

10:7 time. See? What is it? A messenger getting the people ready. Hesaid the Bride makes Herself ready. Is that right? By what? TheWord. Then you’re looking for it over there yet or what? Or is it here?Is He already come? See what I mean now?

So first, get the Bride together and then comes the Resurrec-tion of the dead. That’s all he said. He didn’t say anything else. Andthis is going on right now, see? The Trumpet called both groups to thefeast, the Lamb’s Supper.

One, two, three. Amen? This is the Second Coming of theLord according to the Word. Now if they want to say anything else,that’s up to them. For this is what we have to preach here, the Word ofGod.

Now they’re saying that it’s this or you must...we must waitnow and go into a huge tent. That’s all right. I ain’t got anything to sayagainst that. That’s all right if they want to teach it that way, that’s allright, see? But I must follow the teaching of the season, which is thefruit. The fruit is the teaching of the season. And I can only find it onthe tapes and the Word of God and by revelation. Amen?

Okay now, then to me, this is the Second Coming of Christ: theShout, the Voice and the Trumpet. Amen? But here today, we havedifferent, all kind of crazy ideas and so forth. Many doctrines and soforth. But Jesus Christ said over in St. John 7:17:

If any man will do his will, he shall know of thedoctrine,...(Amen?)...whether it be of God, or whether...(it beof myself)...I speak of myself.Amen? But you’ve got to do the will first. Oh, what is His

will? His Word. And who does it come to? The Prophet. Did hebring it? Amen. See what I mean now? He brought it. Then do it.And you’ll know the doctrine. You won’t be tossed to and fro by anywind of other doctrines. Amen? Go here, go there, go over there. No,no, no, no. You’re doing the will of God. You’re working the works ofGod in the season, in the time, according to the Prophet’s Message,who is a vindicated Prophet. Amen? You’re doing all that accordingto the tape; you’re doing God a service in His will. Amen? Praise theLord. Amen? Glory a Dios. Amen. Praise God. Amen. I feel good

19this morning. Amen. Praise the Lord.

So we are doing His will this morning. So why are there somany variations of the Lord’s Second Coming? See? Because nowHis Second Coming is laid out here in I Thessalonians 4:16, and provenby the: I said proven. “The Rapture,” tape said this was the Shout.He’s gone, he said so. See what I mean now? Now here’s why, for thisis a very evil age. It’s the most deceiving age. Is that right? TheProphet posted the Church in St. Matthew 24:24, that false christs wouldgo out and deceive many, see?

The devil at this time is going to deceive the whole world. TheBible says so. And we’ll just skip quickly here. For this is the callingout time for the Bride. And only those names that’s written in theBook can come. Are you following me now? Nobody else can come.And therefore, and He personally reveals that to His Bride, women,children and men. You following me now? It’s a personal revelationof Jesus Christ, the Word living in you day by day according to theBread which went forth from the Prophet. Amen? There’s your Mes-sage. It’s very simple though, they stumble over that. See what I meannow?

So now, why is He doing this? Well in the beginning He had aMessage. Don’t eat...you can eat all the trees in the field, right? Butdon’t eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Don’t eat of thattree. That was the message. Eat of the tree of Life. Amen? But don’teat of that tree. There was the message, see? Because you’ll die. Butthe serpent came and said, “You shall not surely die.” One word.

So Eve had the message, ninety-nine percent right and ninetenths. Are you following me now? See how deceiving it is now?She, a byproduct, had the message, ninety-nine and nine tenths. Butyou’re not a byproduct. You’re the seed. Amen. You have the wholeWord. You are...listen, only the byproducts can be deceived, the blade,the tassel, the husk is part of the Word. But the seed is the originalgrain of corn. Amen. It’s the original grain of corn.

Then women and man by one Spirit, are we all baptized into amale body, which is the seed of God. Therefore that male body cannotbe seduced for it’s not a female body: it’s not a tassel, a chaff, a blade.It’s male and female, we’re one in Christ. And we cannot be deceived.

20That’s the Bride of Jesus Christ, women and men with Christ in them,the hope of Glory.

So how can you be deceived? You can’t be deceived. But theothers will be, the foolish virgins, they will be deceived and the rest ofthem, see? Amen? So then, what’s He doing now? He says, “I’mgoing to have a Bride. The devil beat, he beat me to the bride before,and she fell.” Amen? And the only way he can try us is on the Word.Man will try you on looks, color, genealogy, amen? Oh my. Let it goin now. See what I mean now? But God tries you on the Word of God.He don’t care what you look like. You may look like a big giraffe, Hedon’t care. But as long as you take that Word. God don’t care whereyou come from. Who are you? Where were you when the sons of Godshouted for joy? When the morning stars sang together, where wereyou at? Amen?

But if you were in God, you didn’t look like nothing, you wasin God’s mind. Amen? God don’t care about what you look like downhere. God ain’t interested in man’s genealogy. Paul said, Timothy,charge them, teach no other doctrine. Endless fables and genealogiesand who they are, Jewish, Dan, Benjamin, this and that and so forthand Judah. God don’t care whether you come out of Europe, Africa,Australia, or where you come from, as long as you do the will of God,you’ll know the doctrine. Amen? Praise God.

He’s calling seeds. He’s calling attributes. He’s calling Hispart to Him back there. Amen? And this is Spirit. Amen. And we’llhave His body, a glorious body like unto His body. Amen? So it’ll bea different one. Amen. Praise the Lord. Amen? Praise the Lord. Thatone got home, huh? Amen? Good. Praise the Lord.

Because in all things, get understanding. Amen? So then no-body can be puffed up and think you’re something, see? BecauseGod...as Brother Branham said you’re nothing but a New York clod ofdirt. Amen? That’s all you are. A clod of dirt. That’s what the Prophetsaid. I’m saying what he said. It must be according to what he said.Say what he said, right? Amen? Then I’m all right. Amen.

So God will prove His Bride on the Word. Amen? That noflesh shall glory in the Presence of God. Nobody’s flesh. The ministercan’t glory. Amen? Certain genealogy, people, they can’t glory. Stuffed

21shirts. The Word takes the puff out of them. Amen? We want to seeChrist. We don’t want to see your flesh. We want to see Christ. What’son the inside. The inside man. Amen? The outward man perish dayby day. But the inside man liveth by the Word. Amen? Praise theLord.

So we see friends, then, that He’s trying to...He’s going to provethat Bride. Now how can God prove His Bride on a doctrine of a tentministry? I mean, let’s just make it plain. How can He prove HisBride to hide somewhere, don’t do nothing and wait till the Prophetcomes back and set up a great big tent somewhere and then, there you’regonna be proved? That’s not in the Bible.

How can He prove His Bride on somebody to believe that he’sthe son of man? The Prophet is the son of man? How can you beproved by that? You following me now? But He said He’ll prove HisBride on the Word. Which Word? The Word that Malachi 4 mademanifest. Proved on that Word to see if you’ll stay with it. The Prophet’sgone, the Word is here, Elijah is gone, but the Word of God is here.Amen? The Word is here friends. Okay.

We have to be proved, see, to see therefore, for us to be proved,God must have the Bride come in contact with every Word. Did thathappen? You decide. Following me now? The Bride must come incontact with all the mysteries, amen, and the whole Word of God. Therewas no other age like this Age then.

(Blank spot on tape.)

...right in the season when the mother eagle leaves the sceneand the Prophet eagle left the scene. At that time and season, then youbetter start flying for yourself. Don’t be a lazy hawk, but begin to flyfor yourself. And that’s now, for the seed must stand alone. Amen?As it moves in the Message, it finally stands alone. One person there,one over there, two over there standing alone, ripe and mature, readyfor the Resurrection. That’s the Word of God. Amen? See?

Malachi 4 restored all these things. Now, we’re now makingour choice now. The Holy Spirit is calling out a Bride for Christ. He’sdoing it by vindicating, see, His Word of promise. He’s vindicating

22the Word now. We’re gonna find out what is vindicating, see? Vindi-cating His Word of promise to Her for this Age, now, see? Showingyou that this is Christ the Word, by revelation. Amen? And you knowit’s the Word of God. See what I mean now?

Now, how does He do it? He anoints our eyes. It’s very darkout here. You can’t see where you’re going. But He said He wouldanoint your eyes to see. He sent the evening time Light. Amen? Yougot it right? Well now you can see. Your eyes are anointed, see? AndHe said that He would vindicate the Message to call out a people forthis Age. Right? Now at this time Satan is to come forth with thespirit of error, with the spirit, see, the spirit of error, one word off,that’s all. See? Perversion of the Word. It’s all on the tapes. Amen?

So therefore now, listen. Satan admits it’s the Word. Is thatright? He said it’s the Word. But he puts his own interpretations to it.He said, “You will not surely die.” Amen? Today he says, “No, it’sBrother Branham, but that was popcorn. But he’s coming over here.”You following me now? “And you’ll see him in a tent. He’ll comeback to the earth and it’s gonna be so glorious and he’ll minister overthere and you’ll have to go in there to get the Wedding garment,” andall these kind of things, see? So he put his own interpretation to thisWord.

But the Prophet never taught nobody that, as far as I can see.All I heard him preach was the Word of God. See what I mean? Inever heard him say nothing like that. See? So therefore, Satan’s owninterpretation, through what? I Timothy 4, seducing spirits. See itnow?

Paul said they’ll come in the latter day; they must come. Andthey’ll come and they will seduce many and turn them away. See whatI mean now? Okay. Then these seducing spirits, spirit of error, see,brings a false word and those who are not staying with the Word takethe false word. They still feel they're Sons of God, but they’ve got afalse word. See?

Now Eve never willfully said that she don’t believe the Mes-sage of God. See? It was the error she believed. Amen? So today,many lovely people, sweet people in this Message, believe errors. Theybelieve the prophet. Are you following me now? And they believe

23ninety-nine and nine tenths of the tapes but somewhere in there, a se-ducing spirit deceived them just with one little thing. Amen?

Then this makes a strong delusion to actually believe this thing.A vision, a spirit fall upon you. See what I mean now? To believe a lieand be damned by it. Yeah. See? Now he’s a vindicated Prophet,amen? Okay. What is vindication? Vindication is when a truth isrevealed, then it’s also vindicated. Amen? That’s very simple. Otherwords, William Branham walked out with the Seven Seals, right? Now,there it was. God had to vindicate him. He’s vindicated him straightthrough because the Word was revealed. That was the vindicationright there. Amen? It’s very simple now. Don’t let it go over yourheads. See what I mean now?

Vindication is the Word being revealed; truth being revealed.Therefore it doesn’t need anything else to add to it. It was revealedalready. Malachi 4 was revealed to you. What you gonna add to itthen? Don’t take away. Don’t eat it sodden, amen? Don’t add to itwater. See what I mean? Don’t eat it dry. Burn it with fire. Amen?The Fire of God. Amen? Amen, see? There’s your vindication.

Therefore, before William Branham went forth, he was alreadyvindicated by the Seven Seals. Now do you see why he had to have theSeven Seals first? Because if he didn’t have them first and just comeon the scene and begin to preach, you wouldn’t know who he was.But, went the Seven Seals first, he was vindicated already, then hewent forth. Amen? Because it says right here in Revelation 10:7,when the voice of the seventh angel shall begin to sound, the mysteryof God should be finished. Amen. Then he’ll go forth, waiting for thisseventh Angel to come; the seventh one, as we’ll hit this morning.Amen? Are you still with me? Are you tired? I have a long message.Amen. Praise the Lord.

Now when truth is revealed it’s vindicated. Okay? Now vi-sions comes on the Word, then the vision must be compared with theBible, see, compared with the Bible. See what I mean? No matterwhat you say, but it’s got to be in the Bible. See what I mean now?Now the Seven Seals was revealed at the same time, it was the truthwhen it was revealed because we knew it was the truth.

Now Revelation then brings stimulation. Amen? To the be-

24liever. Amen? For the power of natural wine is to stimulate. Then thePower of Spiritual Wine is to stimulate us by the revelation of thestimulation. Amen? Then the Wine is what stimulated us at the SevenSeals. He saved the new Wine till last, at the end. Amen? And wereceived the new Wine and we’re still drinking on the new Wine, forit’s the Bread that goes forth, it’s still flowing, it’s the Wine, the stimu-lation of the revelation. Amen? It’s the new Wine.

So therefore, the new Wine...wine gives joy, stimulation. Amen?Of the revelation. See what I mean now? It stimulates. When theWord is revealed to you, don’t you feel good? Well you’re being stimu-lated. Amen? Amen, see? Therefore when Peter...when he...whenChrist said, “Who do men say I am?” He said, “Thou art the Christ.”Amen?

So therefore He said, “Flesh and blood has not stimulated you,”amen? “But My Father which is in Heaven has stimulated you.” Amen?“Thou art the Christ.” And then Peter was stimulated again on the Dayof Pentecost. Amen? For there was Joel the Prophet’s word layingthere. Amen? Ten days in the Upper Room. Down come the stimula-tion. Peter, filled with new Wine said, “This is what Joel said vindi-cated right here.” You don’t have to add to it. I’m part of it. Amen?This is it right here. Praise the Lord. Did you get it?

Then when the stimulation comes down, flowing like that tothe Bride, what will it say? “This is what the Prophet was shoutingabout.” Don’t miss that. Amen? It’ll break forth upon the Bride. AVoice on the inside saying, “This is it. This is that, what the Prophetspoke of. This is all of the Word, all of the mysteries. Now I give youpower to speak it out of your mouth.” Amen? Watch that. Amen.Praise the Lord.

So we see friends that stimulation vindicates right on the spot.It’s right there. You don’t have to go look somewhere else for it. It’sright there. Amen Brother Joe? Amen. So now the Bride is beingstimulated now, stimulated right now. Amen? She was stimulatedduring the Seven Seals as she received the Word. Amen? In Spiritform, see? She could say then, when the vindication come, the Bridesays, “I know the white horse rider is the pope.” Amen? And couldnobody tell you otherwise because you were stimulated to see it. You

25saw it. That was vindicated then. So wasn’t the Prophet vindicatedthen by what he stimulated you with? Vindicated. Amen? See it?

I know that that same devil changed horses. He got up on a redone. Amen? I watched that sly spirit change another horse. He’s upona black one. Then he’s on a pale one and he rides them right on intohell, perdition. Well the Bride was stimulated with that. It broughtyou out of your churches. Is that right? You renounced everythingwhen you saw that. It was clear, made manifest, revealed to the Bride.Amen. Praise the Lord. Glory a Dios. Amen. Praise God. Amen.

I’m stimulated now by the Word of God. Amen. So we seethat this same process is going on right now. Amen? Such as what?Shuck, tares, marriage and divorce, all these things. Were you stimu-lated? Amen? All those messages coming forth, “Token,” and thisand that and so forth, “Souls In Prison,” “Choosing A Bride,” the earth-quake over here, you were stimulated by the revelation of these things.Amen?

That’s what has made you grow. That’s what has made you...hasgiven you a vision by the Word. Your eyes are anointed in the EyeAge, but we’re moving into the mind age. And when you get to themind age, you better have the thoughts of God and He brought themHimself through a Shout. You’ve got Him in the heart then brother.They’re there. Then the Anointing of God can anoint it and speak itout. What’s in the heart shall come out. Amen? Then store up theWord of God and let it come into your hearts and receive it. And whenGod anoints it, and His Voice, you’ll speak with His Voice, the Wordthat the Shout put in there. Amen? It’s very simple, isn’t it? TheMessage is always simple. Do you understand it thus far? Amen.

She receives a revelation, which is Faith. Faith is a revelationof the will of God. Amen? Then God has revealed His will for thisAge to the Bride. See? So then this stimulates us, see? This is God’sown interpretation. Now the spirit of error is your own interpretationsof the Word. The stimulation is God’s interpretation. It just reveals itto you. Amen?

So God sent a simple Message and people stumbled over itwith their own interpretations. Now I want to...I better cut out mynotes here because it’s getting late. I’ve got a whole lot of pages here

26left.

Now, just like today, the Prophet said he had a First Pull, whichwas healing, perfection. He had a Second Pull, prophecy and discern-ment of spirits, right? And he said he was to have a Third Pull, andthat was the opening of the Word, and this is on tapes, you see? Hesaid that his Third Pull was the opening of the Word, the Seven Sealsbeing revealed. Right?

Now that needs no interpretation. You cannot interpret that tomean a tent coming, though it was a vision, because visions must checkwith the Word. Amen? That can’t mean that he himself is a son ofman or he’s a white horse rider, all this; that can’t mean that. Thatmeans just what it says, the opening of the Word. That will interpretitself. Amen?

So therefore the revelation, see, is from God and the Kingdomof God is within you. See what I mean now? It doesn’t come with nooutward observation. Not lo here or lo over there. It’s in you, see?Okay. Now watch this now. If God was to send a Message to a back-slidden church that they understood, then it wouldn’t be fresh-killedmeat. Amen? If we all understood the Seven Seals, then it’s not new,that’s not new Wine, it’s old wine. Amen?

So therefore a Message must be new: hidden manna. Amen?But then He sends the thing, floods it out there and then it blinds youfor the Age. Then after you stagger around, see, then you begin tounderstand it by stimulation. Amen? And then you make ready. Seewhat I mean now? Because we know that even after Luther left, hismessage saved millions. Amen?

Wesley left; message saved millions all through the Philadel-phian Age. Amen. See? The Prophet’s gone, the Message is here, it’sthe only thing that will save the Bride. Nothing else will friends. I’vepreached to you Jesus Christ, the Word of God. It’s the only thing...andthe Prophet preached it, gone. But the Message is here to bring salva-tion, to bring life, healing, joy, comfort, Temperance, everything. It’sin the Word.

Now there’s nothing that you can see with your eyes, for thethings which are seen are temporal. Amen. All of these things aroundhere, the pope, this, that, murders, rapes and all the kingdoms of the

27world is temporal. They’ll pass away. But the things, Paul said, whichare not seen, they are eternal. We don’t see the restoration. Amen. Wedon’t see the Power of God as we say it, amen? And we don’t see theResurrection, the Rapture, the New Jerusalem, the Millennial King-dom. But this is eternal! For God said it and the Spoken Word of Godshall not return void.

This is eternal. This riff around here, New York is temporal. Itwill pass away. It will fade away. God will blow it off the scene.Amen? But the Word of God lives and abides forever. Then it’s theunseen things that you must be anointed with, the eyes and the spirit tosee it. That’s eternal. The Word says it. That’s it. The Word is eternal.Amen. Praise...

We like to drive the devil down, see? Amen. So if the Mes-sage is not new, then it’s no new Message. Amen? So it must be a newMessage. Amen? And it only comes to prophets, the Word, the wholeWord. The Third Pull was the opening of the whole Word, the SpokenWord of God. Amen? It had to come to a Prophet, vindicated bySeven Seals already. Amen? A vindicated Prophet. See what I mean?Now.

Because of no revelation, many are changing the Coming ofthe Lord, which we’ve been speaking about all morning here into fables.Is that right? See? Okay. The Prophet said that they would turn fromthe truth. Is that right? II Timothy 4:3 and 4, because the time wouldcome, not enduring sound doctrines. But after their own lust, lust aftertheir own desires, their own reasonings, what they think it should be orwho they think should be saved. After that they’ll heap to themselvesa teacher who will teach them that. Amen?

They’ll find a teacher somewhere who will coincide with theirspirits. And then with this fable and make them feel good for a season.And they’ll live in worldly pleasure for a season. But we, like Moses,we forsake the worldly pleasures. Amen? Which is only temporal.Amen.

But the Kingdom is eternal. It’s within you now coming intoview. Amen. It’s coming into view more and more everyday as theWord’s being made plain. Amen, see? Therefore they’ll heap to them-selves teachers. Who are these teachers? The Prophet, the Voice of

28God said they’re false anointed ones. Amen? That would deceive thevery elect if possible. That’s who the teachers are. And they comewith...right off the Word. “Halleluiah brother, this is the Message.”They come in the Message. See what I mean now?

Paul said, “I have espoused you to Christ.” Amen? And haveyou received another Christ, another man, some man that’s supposedto be God? Amen? Have you received another spirit? What kind: aseducing one. Anointed. Amen? See what I mean now? Have youreceived another Gospel than the Word which the Prophet laid out here,and also Paul?

Brother Branham said, “I preached the same thing Paulpreached.” Amen? “I preached the same Gospel.” See what I meannow? So therefore, are the people receiving another Gospel? I mean,or are we supposed to sit here dead and just wait and go out to a certainplace and wait for a tent or wait for this here? Is that the Gospel thatPaul preached, that Gospel there?

The Prophet, he preached the same Gospel. So therefore, havewe received another Gospel? And Paul said that you bear with thesemen too. Is that what he said? He said that you allow these men to dothese things to you. He says, “Why?” Then he goes on to speak abouthow that he didn’t take any money and how he said thus and so forth;is the prophets life laid right out there. He said these are false proph-ets, angels of light, amen? Same thing today. See what I mean now?They have their own message, see?

A teacher must teach his message. A Baptist teacher must teachhis Baptist message and be anointed by the Holy Ghost. A Pentecostalteacher must teach his Pentecostal message. Amen? Then he’s anointedwith a Pentecostal message, mixed with healing and so forth. Youknow? And then therefore a brother rising up in this Message but notgetting a revelation, the stimulation of it, must rise up and don’t get it,see? He can’t figure it out. But therefore his own mind, his owninterpretation, he figures it out and he says, “Well it must be this overhere.” And then he’s anointed with that spirit and he begins to teach it.And right in...right among the Bride, leading them away. Amen?

Therefore God at this time, knowing this would be the fruitseason. See what I mean now? The fruit’s in the top. The root, the

29bark, the leaves and the fruit in the top. So therefore the fruit mustcome out then. So therefore the Prophet went off the scene and sixcome, number six come, out come the fruit. Amen? Now you stayedwith the fruit of the season, the teaching of the Prophet. For God said,“I’ll plant you by the rivers of living water. I’ll plant you there myselfand you’ll bear fruit in your season.” And you’re bearing it now. Amen?The teaching of the Prophet of God.

Therefore we reject all these others, right? Therefore, thoughthey come humble and sweet; are you following me now? Look atHananiah, Jeremiah said you’ll be down in seventy years. Hananiah, aprophet of God, Israel, he said, “Yes, you’ll go down there. There’sthe Word. That’s the Message, but you’ll be back in two years.” OffWord. Get it now? “Yes I believe the Message. Sure it’ll be a tent...”See? Following me now? It’s the Word. What did he say? He said itmust be according to the tapes. Don’t change it. Amen? You got it.Praise the Lord. Amen.

Now these men are anointed with a devil, a religious spirit, aseducing devil. John said, “Don’t believe all of them. But try them bythe Word.” Amen. Try them all, I don’t care who they are. They’revery deceiving now. Try them all by the Word John. That’s what Johnsaid, beloved, see? Try them all by the Word, see?

Now, but watch what God did. God anointed the Bride withthe Word. Therefore the Bride can’t help but teach the Word. Amen?For She’s anointed with the Spirit of the Word. Amen. Praise God.The Bride is anointed with the Word. And a man from the Bride, thatis teaching, he will preach the Word, for he’s anointed with the Word,not some kind of a crazy doctrine, but the Word. The Word anointed.And then the messenger and the Message is one.

And we see the Word of God. Amen? You see a Baptist man,he’s a Baptist. Is that right? Pentecostal. He believes in this and soforth and so on. Amen? So we’re anointed with the Word of God.Okay friends then, we see then that everything else is all lying vanities.Amen?

Now, let me cut off here. And all the tapes, I never heard theProphet teaching all of these strange doctrines, you see? But like Isaid, he taught the Word of God. Now, we understand that at this hour

30now, many people, they are being deceived by many different things.And so that’s why I just feel so inspired to just lay out this message,because it’s a little long for you but if you just bear with me. Amen?

Now William Branham told us to look for Jesus Christ. Hepreached a message back over here, he says, all things are ready, let thefire fall. Is that right? End up with, “The Rapture,” tape. He said theShout has gone forth. Next thing is the Resurrection. That’s what hesaid. And the Voice is to awaken the sleeping Bride. The waked Brideis awake now. She will stand there on guard duty when the Generalwalks in the Camp. For She’s already awake. Amen? Well the Voicewhich cries out is to wake them up. Now is there in this time is to bea great tent ministry or all these going to Africa and all these kind ofthings, it’ll be. But I ain’t worrying about it because I’ll go right intoit. Amen?

That’s why I don’t say anything. Let them go on, see? If that isthe interpretation of the Voice of God, that there’s to be a tent ministryand go to Africa and go around the world, all like this here, then thatwill be interpreted by God. Let it alone. See what I mean now?

If God’s with it, you can’t fight God. Amen? It’s not of God,it’ll come to naught. So therefore why fight it? Amen? Just go on andsoak in the Word. Let the Shout go into your heart. Amen? Praise theLord. It’ll come up in the Resurrection. So now we see then that thatis so, then we...also he said that when the dead in Christ rise, that thatwould be a sign to the Bride that the Rapture is at hand. Yes sir. TheRapture is at hand friends. So therefore this Message is a revelation tothe Bride, see? The rest of them are blinded by veils. Now, (Bro.Coleman speaks to the tape man: “Is there much left on the tape there?Okay good.)

Now the rest of the people without a revelation is blinded byveils. See? Now, Malachi 4 unveils the heart and turns the heart of thechildren back to the Word, not fables, but back to the Word. Amen?Now either he turned us back to the Word or told us to look for an-other. Amen? He didn’t tell us that. See what I mean now? He turnedus...he said he...and then if Malachi 4 did not turn our hearts back, thenwe deny the Power of that Word. And it said over here in II Timothythat they deny the Power of the Word. Amen? I’m not gonna deny the

31Power of the Word, for the Word of God is Power. But it’s in a powderform. Amen? It needs a fire to touch the powder and that will loosethe power of the powder. Amen? And you’ll see the Power of thisWord in action. It’s coming. Wait till the press come, you’ll see it.Same Third Pull. It’s the same Third Pull.

John had...he had a message. His message was not fulfilleduntil he was dead and in the Upper Room. Amen? Therefore theprophet’s message is still here. It’s his Message, the Word. Otherwords, it’s not...it’s the Word...it goes on into eternity. Amen? And inthe season, God does this and that, whatever it’s supposed to be by Hisown interpretation. Amen? Praise the Lord.

So we see friends then that the veil, denominations, lust of theworld, of the flesh, of the eye, and the pride of life, see? Money, popu-larity and all the supernatural, white horses and things. See what Imean now? Looseness in the law, all these are veils. See what I meannow?

Now God is holy, without no man shall see the Lord. God is aholy God friends. Don’t let no preacher ever tell you that you can slidein because you can’t. See what I mean? Without, no man shall seeGod. See what I mean now?

Now, see, when God rent the veil in Jerusalem, the Templethere in Jerusalem, those Jews thought they had the ark back there. Isthat right? The Mercy Seat back there, see? But they saw that He wasnot behind that veil. See what I mean now? Jesus, the Word, theMercy Seat, was in full view on the cross. Amen? Okay.

Today, God has rent all veils, amen? All denominations, lustof the world and pride and everything. White horses, all kind of things,He rent them all: the Word. If they’ll pull that veil back, they won’tfind the Word in there. See what I mean now? They’ll find the Wordin the Malachi 4 Message in plain view. In here in plain view is all theglories of God hid in the Word. Amen? We’ll prove it, see? He’s inplain view now. I just told you He descended with a Shout, didn’t He?Isn’t He in plain view? That’s the Word.

He descended and sent down the Shout and it’s in plain viewnow. See what I mean now? And it’s on the tapes, it’s in book form,it’s not in crazy ideas now, certain doctrines. You see what I mean

32now? For God descended in His Word for this Age according to IThessalonians 4:16, with a Shout, the Message. He’s in the Word.Amen?

Now our type is Moses. Moses had a natural veil over his facecoming down from the Presence of God. Amen? He come down withthe Word, see? Now watch this very carefully now. Moses in thePresence of God come off the mount, see, anointed with the Word.Amen? He’s gonna speak something. See what I mean now? Not justspeaking in tongues, I mean, he’s gonna speak the Word. Not just aholler and a scream and a shout. Amen? Not a gift. The Word. Amen.To live by for the Age. Here he comes now. He’s just God Himself.Him and His Message was one. Ready, anointed, powerful, the gloryof God there ready to be spoken. So much glory it had to be veiledover his face, it would blind them. Amen? I hope you get that. Seewhat I’m talking about now? It would blind them.

And there was Moses. He and the message was one. The lawready for the whole Age, for the Jews now. He got it now, see? Got itfor the whole Age. And it ain’t got nothing to do with going over thereand over there. Amen? If they’ll live by that law, they’ll die. Amen?They’ll die. Unless they don’t...they take one word away from thatlaw, they don’t add anything to it. But he had it ready for...ready tomake it known for the Age. Amen? But he had to veil Himself. Moseshad to veil His face until the Word was made known for the Age. Andwhen that Word was made known for the Age, Moses was Moses. Butthere, that was God hid there. You following me now? In simplicity.There it was in full power, full glory.

But now it’s not great according to man’s sight. Man wouldjust stumble over that, see? That’s an old man with long, white whis-kers. That was God hid behind that. Behind that veil was God Him-self. Amen? But to them it was an old man with white whiskers, anold man, see? You following me now?

“Today a Kentucky Prophet? What are you talking about?”God hid behind there with the Shout for the Age. Amen? See it? See?But they stumble over it. “It must be a white horse rider over theresomewhere. It must be a tent or this...” No. It was God with a Shout,descending down with a Shout. There it was. Amen? Moses had to

33veil himself. All right?

We see then the Third Pull, the Seventh Seal is the same. Seewhat I mean now? God had to veil...now watch this now. God had toveil Himself until the Word, the Message, the Shout, see, was madeknown for the Age. What Age? The Bride Age. Amen? Until thatWord is made known, see what I mean now? There’s God hid behindhuman skin. You following me now?

Then - watch this now - this Word was the Word for the Age.Now there’ll be many impersonations come, but as we’ll find out in alittle while, there’ll be no mimics to this though. It’ll be the Word.Amen? See what I mean now? It’ll be the full Word. Now remember,Moses was Moses again after he delivered the message. Amen? Andthe Word that God give us upon the Mount was made known for theAge. Right? Okay?

Brother Branham gave out the Word for this Age, right? Thatwas Christ unveiled behind human skin with a Shout, the Voice ofGod, made known for the Age. Many ran away in ’63, he hadn’t madeit known yet. Where are you going? In ’64, he’s still making it known,’65, still making it known. It was made known in December of ’65,for the Age. Then ’66, he just wants to see who’s gonna stand on it,that’s all. This way, that way, this way, that way.

There’s the Word laying right there on tapes, books, everythingelse. Made known for the Age by God Himself with a Shout! I mean,there’ll be no interpretations to this, there’ll be no mimics to this, “I’lldo it Myself. I will descend with a Shout Message.” And you can’tchange it, you can’t take it away. It don’t mean the tent over there. Itmeans what it said. Say what the tapes said. Amen. Say what I said.Say what I made known before you say that. Five things you must do.Amen? Can’t break that, see?

Now Brother Branham was not God, see? See, the spiritualveil hides this from you. Now many sit reading the Word of God to-day, they’re blinded, see, by the God of this evil age. But if they turntheir hearts to the Message, amen, and let God lift that veil away fromtheir hearts, amen? If the Jews who read the law of Moses, if theywould only turn to Christ, the Word, they could be set free. But they’reordained to it.

34Gentiles, the churches and all around here, read this same Word,

preach it, amen, but they preach their Baptist, Methodist or whatever,message, teach it, amen? But if they’ll turn to that Word that wasmade known for the Bride Age, God would lift the veil from theirhearts and they’ll see into the Glory of God. Amen?

But if, He said, “Oh Jerusalem, only if you would, but youwouldn’t, but you would not.” That’s what he said. “You would not.”He stood up there and looked out but they would not. They just...theylaughed, they scoffed, they think it’s funny. “What the Word, I don’thave to do all this over here, church order, this and that, no, I don’thave to do all that.” Word made known for the Age. Amen?

Church order was only setting you in order, that’s all I wasdoing. Getting all, get everything in order. That’s all. Israel had to getin order. So therefore the Prophet said that He’ll get His Bride in orderfor the last days. Get them in order, see? Get everything, you know,amen? Amen.

So they sit reading the Word of God. If they would only turn tothe Message of the hour made known already. The Prophet’s gone,see? He would lift the veil away. Just like the Jews, if they turn fromthat law and look at Christ, the Word, see?

Now to eyes natural, to Israel’s natural eye, what they can seewith, see, because the Old Testament is natural. New, this is spiritual,see? God blessed over there with natural things, cattle and sons andchildren and wives, all natural. But on this side it’s all spiritual. You’rebringing forth a spiritual Son, Jesus Christ. Amen? So therefore, don’ttry to figure natural over to the spiritual because you’re mixing it upthen, see? You’re getting your blessings mixed up. So don’t mix upyour blessings because Melchisedec has unmixed blessings. Amen?Praise His Name.

So we see friends then that the Word of God, amen. Now no-tice, to eyes natural. See what I mean now? To eyes natural. Israel’snatural eye; you have many natural-minded people today. Just likeEsau, lusting around for things in the flesh. They’re natural-mindedpeople. See they...that line comes down through there. Voom, down itcome and it laid out spiritual and natural. It’s there. You can’t changethat. It’s there. But just line up straight with it. Amen?

35The line is there, see? Now eyes natural, see? Now watch this

now. Eyes natural, Israel, could not see the Most Holy Place nor theHoly Place. They couldn’t see because it was veiled behind badger’sskins. Is that right? And in there was the Mercy Seat, the Ark, theShekinah Glory, the Shewbread, the Candlestick. They couldn’t see it.Amen? Okay.

Then all of the Glory of God was hid from their natural eyes.Amen? By a veil. Amen? Badger skin veils. Well then, the samething today. Eye spiritual. Are you following me now? People’s eyesare veiled with Baptist teaching, Pentecostal teaching, they’re veiled.So therefore when they look for the Glory of God, the Glory of God ishid behind human skins. It was hid behind human skin.

Now it’s on tape and in the book form. See what I mean now?But it was hid behind human skin. Now behind that human skin wasthe Word and in the Word was the Most Holy Place, the secret place,Shekinah Glory, Ark, Mercy Seat, Shewbread, amen? Candlestick washid in that Message and it was in a Kentucky Prophet. He had it.Except you believe that I am he, you’ll die in your sins. Who was that?That wasn’t him. That was the Voice, the Shout speaking out of therelike that! You’ll die in your sins. No you won’t die right now. Seewhat I mean now? The death angel goes throughout the land since ’63taking out those who won’t believe it. They’re dead while they’reliving right now and don’t know it. They’re already dead now. Hetakes them out. See? Because the Bride was already predestinated tobe under the shed Blood when the King come forth. When He left theMercy Seat, it was smoky up there. The Sanctuary’s smoky. He comeforth but the Bride, thanks be to God, it was before the foundation ofthe world. Brother, for if it wasn’t, she would not be under the Blood.But the Blood was already there. Amen.

So when He come forth, the shed Blood was there for you al-ready. But many got scared. See what I mean now? And there theLion come forth but He had a Word to make known for the Age. Hewanted to prove His Bride. Amen? He wanted to prove Her for awhile. See what I mean now? He...then He allowed seducing spiritsto move in against it. But She spoke: she’s Word anointed, stayingwith the Word of God. She can’t help but speak the Word for it’s a fire

36in Her soul. Amen? She speaks the Word of God. She’s...and Heknows it; He just sits back and He’s just happy. Like that woman backthere in Proverbs, amen? He’s happy. See what I mean now? BecauseShe’s doing the things that He loves without telling Her. Amen? With-out beating Her; without saying, “Do it,” while watching Her. Sheloves to do it. It’s His wife. He gave Her the Word. Amen? She’slooking for it. And She would be looking for it. Amen?

So all the Glory of God was hid behind Malachi 4, and theylaughed and they scoffed and they thought it was funny. They thoughtit was something else. See? And there it was right there. So therefore,during that time, the death angel moved, seducing devils, just movingthroughout the land, grab this one here and grab this one over here andgrab this over here and they’re still there. Still sitting there. See whatI mean now? But they’re dead while they’re living. A chaff, dry, thelife is gone out of it, see, into the seed. Seed is taking all the life.Pulling away. See what I mean now?

Now, therefore eyes spiritual. Cannot see this, because theireyes is anointed with another spirit. But if they will let God anointtheir eyes, amen, with the Spirit of the Lord; see what I’m talking aboutnow? Then they’ll see it. Anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see in this eye age, that you can see it. Amen? Praise God.

And in that Word that they laughed at, Malachi 4 Shout Mes-sage, is the Mercy Seat. That’s why you’ll have mercy right now, foryou received the Prophet and he had the mercy seat in him, the germ ofLife. There was the Mercy Seat, the Blood was in the Word, a BloodyLamb was slain, fresh-killed meat and you’re taking up that Blood inthat Word right now. It was made known. And we’re drinking thatBlood now, it’s got Life in it. Amen?

Jehovah witness, they might get mad but we’re still drinking it.Amen? We’re still drinking it. Yes sir. They don’t like that, see? It’sall right. That Blood is Life, Spirit. Amen. It makes us alive untoGod. All the other spirits are anointed with some other crazy teachingout here. There’s sodomite spirits and they...that’s a sign and that signhas a voice, the world’s voice, the filth of the world. There’s yoursodomite spirit. Amen? There’s the anointed ones spirit, see? It hasthe voice of false teaching. The pope and the rest of them, see, because

37he heads them up. Amen? But the Bride is anointed with the Word,friends. That’s why it’s the Word. That’s why it’s not speaking intongues. It’s the Word. Because the devil can imitate; there’ll be nomimics to the Word. You can speak and shout, see, but no mimic tothe Word, not how you feel, “Halleluiah.” Oh no. The Word. Godsaid let it be thus. Amen?

And I feel like Mary. Mary was carrying Christ. They said thatthat was a child by another man. It was not Joseph’s son. Is that right?I mean, his child, right? But Mary said, “Be it unto me according toThy Word.” So therefore today, they said, “Because you believe it theway you believe it.” That’s not Christ in there. You’re false seed. ButI say, “Be it unto me according to the Word.” Amen. I know who thisis in here. Amen? Just like Mary knew the Angel revealed it to her.Amen? She received the Angel’s message in season and the rest ofthem thought it was another kind of a doctrine. You know, they laughed,they laughed. Amen? Let them go on laughing.

For it’s been revealed, so Mary was stimulated. She just stoodthere praising God. Amen? It’s all right. God bless you. Love thebrethren, go on. Love covers a multitude of sins. See that love. Shewas anointed with the Word. Amen? She knew what was in her.Though they called it something else, we know what this is; this isEternal Life. She had it in her, Christ. We’ve got it in us, Christ.Amen. Praise God. So, whew, already... boy.

God came in full view with a Shout to turn the hearts of thechildren back to Him, the Word. Is that what He did? Or did He turnyou back to something else? Turn you back to the Word. Amen? Nowsee? In Christ’s Resurrection, many thought Jesus was the...Marythought that Jesus was you know, was the gardener. She asked Himfor the body of the Lord. Is that right? She thought that He was thegardener. It said so in St. John 20. Is that right? And she was lookingfor the Lord and He was standing right in front of her, she says, “I’mlooking for, you know, the Lord, for His body and so forth. Have youseen Him?” You know?

And she was asking the Lord for the body of the Lord. And shedidn’t know that He was the Lord. She thought it was the gardener.The Bible says so. Amen? Just like today. Amen? But He said,

38“Mary.” He called her by name. Amen? Then she knew.

So therefore today, unless your name’s in the Lamb’s Book ofLife, you won’t know it. You think He’s the gardener. You’ll thinkit’s, you know, the white horse rider or something else, you know. Youwon’t know it’s the Word, see, so, but it’s the Word. Amen? And ifyou could only...He says, “My sheep hear my Shout Voice and I callthem with an open Book as I stand on the earth.” Here’s your names inthe Book there. This is the Seventh Seal Redemptive Book. You fol-lowing me now? The Redemptive Book is...the Book is the Book ofRedemption, with the names in there, the Lamb’s Book. That’s theone He stands there open with, with your names in there. He’s callingyou to Him. Amen?

“Mary, Lazarus,” you know, they come by name. Amen? ThenChrist come too by name. The living come by name, the dead in Christcome by name. All of His sheep by His Name. Then God has called usall here. The Name, the Word can...don’t you take out one jot nor onetittle. Don’t you add, don’t you take away from it. For you might takeout your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Amen. Praise God.

So we see friends then that today they think he’s everythingelse but the Third Pull or the Seventh Seal. Is that right? Third Pull ishere, see? So we see friends then that, Jesus descended with a Shout,with an open Book calling His sheep by their name.

Now, we finally got here. The Seventh Seal, I may have tobring this, maybe next week and so forth, but I want to hit a couple ofthings in here because I feel that at this time, we’ll be drawing backupon this and back and forth and back and forth, see? I just feel led todo that. But I wanted to lay this out and I want to draw back upon it incase I don’t get finished today. (Bro. Coleman speaks to the tape man,“I already have about how much left there? About 20 minutes? Ohokay.”)

So now the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Seal is the mystery Seal,see? And the Seventh Seal is a three-fold mystery. Now two of themysteries of the Seventh Seal came by vision to God’s Prophet. I canprove all this because it’s on the original “Seventh Seal.”

Now I wasn’t gonna read it but maybe I can read it next week,see? And, because I’ll just go through with it now, see? And we’ll

39come back and also prove that because it’s getting late.

Now two mysteries came by vision to the Prophet. One un-folded, he said, Saturday, March 23rd, and the other one unfolded March24th, Sunday. Now the Seventh Seal, see, there’ nothing written thereat all. When he opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence. There wasno symbols, no nothing. But the other Seals, they all had words andsymbols there. Is that right? See? Okay now. I hate to rush this but Ihave to.

What is a seal? It’s a finished work. Secret, something thathas been done, right? Okay. It designates a finished work. Okay.Take apples and watermelons, when they put them into the boxcar, it’ssealed up. And you’re not to touch it until it gets to its destination. Isthat right? And in there is the contents. And when it gets over there,they can open it up and see what’s on the inside. Amen? See, it’s afinished work, it’s already finished already and it’s sealed. And that’swhy we’re sealed with the Holy Ghost until the day of our redemption.Can’t nobody touch it. The express goes straight into the Day of Re-demption. Amen? And when it gets there you’ll see what’s on theinside, it’s Christ, you see? Which the world hates that though, see?

Okay now, when the Seal’s broken, then what is inside is re-vealed or manifested on that day, when you break the Seal. Amen?Okay. Then when the Seal is broken, then the contents are shown,see? Now, I have to hurry. The Seven Seals was the Book of Redemp-tion. See? And as the Prophet explained it to us, it was tied up inscrolls and so forth and on the back side it was sealed. And there wasa seal there and it was a mystery. Therefore seven mysteries and soforth, see? Okay.

Now, it was...other words, then if it was a Book of Redemp-tion, it was then seven works of Redemption. Amen? There was sevenworks of Redemption. And the only way you could find out what wasredeemed, pull the seal back. And you find out how, when, where andwho. Amen? See it now? Okay.

Now the First to the Fourth Seal showed how Satan took overthe church. Amen? By antichrist spirit. See? Then a pope, see? Andhe was crowned and so forth because you all know this. See? Thiswas all explained before. Then this was explained and he did it by four

40horse riders. Is that right? A white horse rider, a red, a black and a palehorse rider and four, and he rode on out into eternity, see...I mean intohell. See? Okay?

Then when the Lamb pulled that Seal back, the Lamb showedthose...the four horse riders went through there wreaking havoc andeverything, havoc and so forth. But he showed that He did a work ofRedemption in there. Amen? And He showed how He sent forth aLion spirit, an ox spirit, amen, a man spirit and an eagle spirit. And Heshowed His work of Redemption in those four Seals. Amen?

And number four: we know that the Church is raptured up inthe fourth chapter and so forth. But He showed a work of Redemptionin each one of those Seals. Are you with me so far? Amen. Okay?

Now when he pulled back the Fifth Seal, he showed anotherwork of Redemption, the Jews. Amen? That were slain back inEichman’s time and all the way down through there and those that is tobe slain later on. They must rest for a little season, see? Because theirbrethren must be slain also. See what I mean now?

Now watch, Revelation 1:8 says: I’m Alpha and Omega. Isthat right? The beginning and the end, which was, which is, and whichis to come. Therefore that’s Christ. Therefore He was through the firstfive Seals and also part of it to be revealed over here. He is now theSeventh Seal. And He is to come the Sixth Seal. Are you followingme now? He was, He showed what He did back here from First throughthe five Seals. He is now doing it in secret, the Seventh Seal. He isand He is to come, what He’s gonna do by judgment, by purging in theSixth Seal, when it breaks. Are you following me so far? He was, Heis, and what He is to be. Amen? Alpha and Omega, beginning and theend, see? Okay.

Now we find then that...we understand that the Book of Re-demption, the title abstract deed was in Adam’s hand and also Adamlost it. Is that right? And therefore God took it over into His hand andSatan, he tried to get it but he couldn’t get it. God had it. The originalone, it goes back by default, right? Okay.

Then could nobody redeem nothing till you had a kinsman re-deemer, right? We all know the story, because I have to hurry. Okay.Until way down in the Seventh Seal, there was a Kinsman Redeemer.

41John wept because he didn’t think that nobody could do it. But therewas the Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world. Hecould redeem by His own Blood. And so therefore, who come for-ward? The Lamb came forward and opened up the Seals. Is that right?

And then John saw his name in that Book and John cried andshouted and screamed and hollered for his name was there. You fol-lowing me now? All right. Why? The Book was opened. Get it now?He saw his name in there, see? In the Voice there, when He comesforward. Amen? So okay.

Then, now the Lamb must get up and that’s what scared every-body because He got up in ’63. He come forward, see? Because if Hedidn’t come forward, we couldn’t be redeemed. So therefore He fin-ished His mediatorial work. It was finished with. The last name hadto be worked for and He did that. Then He comes forward, now Hecomes forward to claim what He worked for, His subjects. Is thatright?

Then why get scared? He’s coming to claim you. But howdoes He do it? He comes with a Shout, the Word. Amen? He makesyour names known. This settles the people down, okay?

Now the mediatorial work was finished. The Seven Seal Bookof Redemption shows how He redeemed the Bride and the Jews, right?And the Lamb leaves the Mercy Seat, see? Now then the Seals revealthat, how Christ sent four spirits, the lion, the ox, and the man andwhich now is the eagle, which has come. Amen?

The Fifth Seal shows God’s grace for His Jews, and to thosewho are to come after, right? The Sixth Seal is man’s number, see?Man’s number; it’s the judgment Seal. And when that breaks overthere in the tribulation period, right, it’ll show that He’ll purge 144,000,the foolish virgins and the earth. That’s three-fold also. See what Imean now?

Now...then the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and SixthSeal show a redemption work. Is that right? Well then shouldn’t theSeventh Seal show the same thing? Amen? A finished, completedwork on a living Bride? Amen. Do you understand this now? Butbeing done in secret because there’ll be no more mimics to this for thedevil will try to, you know, fool Eve, but he won’t do it this time be-

42cause won’t nobody know it. Amen?

So therefore the Seventh Seal should show it. It should show acompleted, finished work of redemption. Is that right? Okay now,watch this. All the Seals, see, now the redemptive work is alwayssecret. Aaron hid from prying eyes inside the Most Holy Place. No-body saw him go in there. He was the only one to go in there andnobody saw Christ go in there. He did it. Well then how can they seewhat He’s doing now? Amen. It’s a secret. It’s a secret. It’s hid. It’sinside the Third Pull in there, way on the inside there. Where theycan’t see it in there. Hid in the heart. And they stumble around at it.We’ll find out, see?

Now notice now, all the Seals show a complete work. TheSeventh Seal must reveal a finished Bride, when it’s opened for publicinspection. Amen. When expressed, when the Word, Malachi , Shoutexpressed, zooms into the Resurrection, they break that Seal on thereand they’ll see the Bride coming out of there in step. The last Germanone in step. Amen? They’re all in step and they march out of thatboxcar. Amen? They’ll see the glory of...the treasures of Jesus Christunveiled, the Bride, amen? They’ll think it’s a white horse rider maybe.Amen? They’ll think it’s a tent ministry.

But I believe it’ll be the Word of God with a Voice, the SpokenWord in the Bride of Jesus Christ. While they’re looking for signs,supernaturals and everything else. Amen? Okay.

Now, then notice this here. Notice. Each Seal shows - watchthis now - each Seal shows the Word and these Seals here had it insymbols and so forth, right? The Word or Age and history and a vi-sion. Four things, you must have for the Seal. I’ll let it think in now.It must show something written here right? What it says here, symbolform or whatever it says about the souls under the altar, right? It musthave a history, a time lapse. In other words, it wouldn’t be a mystery.What would be the mystery if you knew what was in there?

And it must have an age, a Church Age, or history from thistime to this time. Following me now? Something that’s written there,okay? We see then that the Word history and the Age and the visionmust all blend together. It must say the same thing. Amen? So there-fore the Sixth Seal has an age also, the tribulation Age. It’ll be history

43from...it’ll be history for three and a half years. Are you following menow? If you are say “Amen.” Because I don’t want to go above yourheads, see what I mean now? If you understand that, then you’re gonnaunderstand this. You see what I mean now?

And therefore then the history, the Age and the Word will slideinto the vision and dovetail and say the same thing. Amen? Okay?Then the First to the Fourth Seal had a history, it had an age, the ChurchAges, amen? That’s what it had. The Fifth Seal had an age also, allthose Jews all down through there. Is that right? The Sixth Seal hasone to come. Is that right? The tribulation period. Right? Okay?

Then if they all had that, shouldn’t the Seventh Seal have anage, history, a vision, a Word? Come on now. Well then how could theSeventh Seal be made known to the Bride when it didn’t have an ageyet? When it didn’t have a history yet? How could it be? Come on.Amen?

So it could not be shown to you in ’63. For there was no age.And the age is the Bride Age. Amen? Which hadn’t even come yet,which is coming up, he said. The Third Pull’s coming up. The BrideAge is coming up. Amen? So it had to have an age. It also had to havehistory. And we’ve had history, ’63, four, five, six, seven, so far. Amen?There’s three and a half years of the tribulation period according to theWord. That’s all. That’s all it is. You see?

This Age here in the Seventh Seal, we don’t know how longit’s gonna be, but I feel, I’m looking for Christ today. That’s...I’mlooking for Him today. See what I mean now? So therefore, did yousee that? Amen? Okay.

Now the Word, which went forth in secret; you following menow? It could not be known because it wasn’t written. There was nosymbol, nothing there at all. Well then how could you know it? Huh?It wasn’t even in the...I mean he left it out of Matthew 24; he left it outof Revelation 8. Then how could He tell you? Then how can anybodytell you that they know it’s supposed to be a tent and be so dogmatic?How can they do it? Watch it now. How can they do that when theProphet’s vision on all those tapes, the, “Visions And The Prophecy,”“The Inner Rest” tape, and you name them all, he said this is the ThirdPull and won’t nobody know it. Is that what he said? He said won’t

44nobody know it. And on “Visions And Prophecy,” he said that thisAngel of the Lord took him into that Place and told him what to say forthe Third Pull. Now watch that also.

Told the Prophet how to speak to people who want to find outsomething. Told him what to say; tell them what they want to hear.But they won’t know it. He said I’ll take it in my bosom to the graveand won’t nobody know it. Amen?

Now I don’t have the time to read it but on, “The Original SevenSeals,” I can prove all of this. For he said there was his vision of sevenor eight years ago. Here it is now, he said, I never even thought that myvision, it would say, don’t tell nobody nothing. I never thought thatit’d be in the Word and there it was, Revelation 8. And when he openedit, nothing, silence.

So the vision said, “Silence.” The vision of the Prophet said,“Silence.” Tell nobody nothing. For it’ll be a total secret. Won’tnobody know it. Your family can’t know it. Your ministering friendscan’t know it, though they sit with you for breakfast, dinner and sup-per. They won’t know it because you are duty bound to God. Youcan’t tell them, it’s a secret. Why? He said there’ll be no mimics tothis. There’ll be no impersonations to this. It’s the Third Pull comingup, amen? Now the vision said, “Silence.” The Word, the vision dove-tailing with the Word: silence. You can’t break that. Now you breakthat. There’s the Word. You open it up: silence. Matthew 24: silence.Said nothing. The angels don’t know it. How can you know it?

I tell you what they are doing though. Do you know what they’redoing now? The reformers, the great teachers, all the people probed atit. Let it sink now. Amen. They probed at it. “I think it’s this. I thinkit’s that.” Reasoning. Lusting against the Spirit of God. Amen? Sotherefore if they probed down through the Church Ages, shouldn’t theyprobe with the Seven Seals, tent ministry or son of man? They’reprobing. Don’t probe. It’s silence. Half an hour of silence.

But I’ll break the silence with the Voice of the Archangel andthe Bride, she’ll hear that direct telephone line. Amen? I’ll speak overthat line in your bosom. The Prophet said it was in here. It’s in there.They can’t get it. The Bride’s got it in the bosom. And then the Voiceon the inside speaks it out. Amen?

45So shouldn’t the Seventh Seal have vision, word, history and a

Bride Age to dovetail? It’s got to have the same thing. All the rest hadit. Showing the redemption work. Amen? There was two visions.There was three visions. There was the original vision showing abouta tent ministry, which he himself said on “The Original Seventh Seal,”that it slides, here’s the other half sliding into the Word. And the Wordis Revelation 8:1. It dovetails right into the Word. Silence. Amen?All right?

He had another vision Saturday, March 23rd and Sunday, March24th. And both of those visions of the Seventh Seal told him, “Don’tsay anything. Silence.” So therefore three visions say silence. There’sthe Word of God says silence. How can the Prophet tell anybody?Therefore nobody knows it friends. You don’t have to worry over it inNew York or Puerto Rico or over there. Don’t nobody know it, theWord says so. The Prophet said so. That what we preach must beaccording to what he said. I’m saying what he said. Amen? That’s allI’m saying. Did you get that? Amen. That’s what I told the peopledown in Puerto Rico and they’re all so happy.

So you don’t have to come to New York or go to Tucson andJeff. Stay where you are. If God told you to stay there, you were bornthere, then stay right there. Unless you get the Word of the Lord tomove, that’s a little different. But you stay there for He wants to mani-fest you there where He predestinated you to be at, so stand there.Amen? Praise the Lord.

So we see it now? All right. The Word has gone forth. Thehistory has gone forth. The Bride Age is here. But a vision, don’t missit, will come to the Bride to understand the whole thing. And I’ll proveit. For in the Resurrection comes the mind age to open up the Scrip-tures, which went forth. Amen? To open up the Message, that Goddescended with a Shout and made known. “I’ll open it up in the Res-urrection, open your minds up.” St. Luke 24. Amen? Do you under-stand that now? I’ll open it up. Don’t probe at it. Don’t try to figureit out. I’ll make it a short work. Back there it took a thousand years, isthat right? Six days, six thousand years to make man in the world andso forth. “I rested on the seventh day in Genesis and I’ll rest on theSeventh Seal over in Revelation.” You following me now?

46And I’ll make it a short work, cut short in righteousness. It’ll

be so short. Amen? It’ll be shorter than the other one over here. Well,that other one over there is three and a half years. So we don’t knowwhat this one is yet. See? But it’s moving into three and a half yearsso far. We don’t know. See what I mean now? But that we know. Didyou get that?

Then the Word, through the Prophet made known for the Age.It finished up in ’65 in December. There was the Word made known.There’s the Word. Now take that. That’s God Himself with a Shout,brother, making it known. Now you have a history and you have anAge, the Bride Age. And then will come the great vision. Without avision we perish. Amen? It’s coming friends. It’ll so stimulate us.Amen? My God, it’ll just...it’ll be the Eagle Message.

Now Brother Branham got a lot of people excited. He said,“I’ll ride the trail one more time.” Didn’t the God, the Shout, ride thetrail through your hearts? Won’t the same God descend and also ridethe same trail with a Voice right through your hearts? Amen? Speak-ing what He put in there? “I the Lord shall plant.” Amen. “I the Lordshall come and water. I’ll ride it again.” Amen?

The Prophet said that God will ride that trail for He descendedwith a Shout and rode the trail all over the world for His Bride, onehere, two over there, pull them out. He’s coming again friends. He’scoming again. First He brings the promise, just like Brother Branham’sstory about that rich fellow over in Chicago and that poor little girl outwest out there. He brought her the...he said, “I will return.” Amen? “Iwill come again and I’ll receive you into myself.” He’s coming again.Yes He is.

He’s already descending, see? And He’s coming with the Voiceand only the Bride will hear the Voice. See what I mean now? Andthen when the Seal is open, it reveals a Message. Now I had to leaveoff a lot of things which I’ll hit next week and so forth because I wasspeaking about the Thunders and so forth, which we want to show itbecause it’s almost finished here now.

So then He showed His Prophet the mystery and it was hid tothe public but made known to the Prophet. But he said that it was thatthird mystery that holds the secret of the Seven Thunders. That he

47could not see for it was unknown. That’s on the tape. I’ll just let itsink in, see? And we’ll come back next week and speak about it per-haps.

Then how could God reveal the Seventh Seal, make it knownto the public when you didn’t have an age, you didn’t have a historyyet and you...and the Word wasn’t made known yet. The Word mustbe made known first, then you get the understanding on what He madeknown. But when He’s making it known, receive, open up the beaksand receive all of it, while He’s making it known!

Then He comes back upon it and explains the whole thing toyou. Amen? Opening things pertaining to the Kingdom of God bymany infallible proofs. See, He’s doing it in the Resurrection. Is thatright? Many infallible proofs and speaking things with a Voice per-taining to the Kingdom of God. Amen.

Therefore God has made it known to us friends, and so we seethat this mystery has gone forth. The reformers probed at it. Thepeople are probing at the Seven Seals today. Is that right? (Bro.Coleman speaks to the tape man, “About how many more minutes?Oh okay, good.”) Then today, we see then that the people probed atthis Seventh Seal mystery. They call it everything else, but to me, it’sthe Third Pull, it’s the Word. Amen? So, and the Prophet’s visionmust be according to the Word. And we see then that he himself saidon, “The Original Seventh Seal,” that here is that same vision slidinginto the Word, dovetailing. He said I never thought of that. There itwas, Revelation 8, silence. There was the vision. Silence, don’t tellnobody. Don’t say nothing. Just go ahead.

Now this might choke somebody but it says that he thunderedout something. See? The seventh angel descended on earth sometimebetween ’63 and ’65. Christ has already come on the earth. But thatcoming is already interpreted by the Scriptures. And we’ll see whatthe Lord will do about that. His coming is already made known. Butit’s according to the Word of God He comes. Is that right?

So if the Third Pull is here, it’s a total secret, see? Because ifSatan knew what it was all about, he would wreck you. But he won’tknow it. See what I mean now? So there’ll be no mimics to this, yousee? So I believe that by grace God takes us beyond all of our veils

48and rents them for us, amen? Turns our hearts back to the Word, anointsour eyes and we enter into the Most Holy Place by stimulation. Amen?And see the glories of God. Amen. That’s shining up over the seed inthe hearts. Amen. It’s a hidden mystery now. God always hides andthen He manifests. He hid - listen - He descended three times beforeyou know?

He come down, went down into hell and also paradise. He hada message for the Bride and He had to preach to the eternal lost. Comeup in the Resurrection, which is coming. It’s a Message first and wereceived the Message this time. Watch it. The Message first, Resur-rection, Rapture. Message, Resurrection, Rapture. Same Third Pull.You can’t break that. Amen? You can’t break it. One is hidden. One,the Message was hidden under the bowels of the earth. Nobody saw it.But the third day, they arose. Amen? The Prophet saw two things butthe third thing was hidden. See? It’s always number three. See whatI mean now?

Then when that work, that Message, brought them up and theywalked around Jerusalem. Amen? The Message has brought us out.And it brings them up...brings them back, rather. Amen? Bring themback and we’ll be together. It’ll be a sign of the Rapture at hand.Amen? Okay. Hidden.

Now as we’re waiting, we’re changing from glory to glory.Amen? As we stay in the Presence of the Son. The blade, tassel, husk,seed, changes. Amen? And we change day by day. See? Okay. Ibelieve that Christ has left the Mediatorial work seat, that He broke theSeals and He showed it to His Prophet. He’s come forth for His Bride,His Queen. He comes to claim His Queen, His Bride. He shows Herthe Word with a Shout. He shows it to Her. She receives all of theWord. Then She is proven in this short Bride Age to Satan that She’lltake that Word and not the tree of knowledge of good and evil and allkind of crazy doctrines and so forth. You understand?

And so therefore He comes down and stands with one foothere and one foot there, and thunders out, “Time shall be no longer.”And He did that already. It’s already happened. See what I mean now?And it’s already happened. He said but as he stands there, I’ve got amessage, see? It thundered out of the Scriptures. He said I’ve got a

49message to make known. See? Those Thunders went out one, two,three, four, five, six, seven. So therefore he spelled out something.And then this thing, what he spelled out was spelled out in the Wordthrough the Prophet, I believe, in this Age. For Christ come on theearth with a Shout, it’s already proven, see? The Prophet said overhere in ’63 that it was vindicated. Vindicated is also made known. It’son a tape, “Look Away To Jesus.” See? It’s just been recently vindi-cated. That’s what he said in December of ’63, see?

So therefore Christ is come. Many stumble over it. They don’tunderstand it. But I pray to God that this morning, that you understandit. That Jesus has descended with the open Book and your names wasin there and you’re making ready.

Now the Open Book is for the living and it’s for the dead. It’sfor both parties. Two. Is that right? He’s coming to be King. He hasthe abstract, title deed in His hand. Amen? He’s got it in His hand,see? He calls and reveals this to His Bride and He becomes a Lion tothe world for judgment. He preaches to the eternal lost while this isgoing on, right now. You see? Calling His Queen to live by His Wordand not sensations and so forth, tents and horses and supernatural. Weunderstand that, right?

I believe when the Voice breaks the silence of one half an hour,the Seventh Seal is revealed to the public. The Door, Christ, it’ll openup and we can look in there and see what was in there, and you’ll see ahidden work. I believe you’ll see the Bride coming out of there. Amen?I believe that, see, it’ll be broken to the public and it’ll show the Brideready with the Wedding Garment. What is the Wedding Garment?The Word. The Bride makes Herself ready. She’s got to have a time ofspace, a half an hour. Amen. It’s a quick time, She gets dressed in ahurry. Amen? It’s a quick work. This Bride is so happy; She puts thatWedding Garment on quick. Amen? And She’s ready. So when Hepulls back that Seal, you’ll see history, you’ll see also a Bride Age andyou’ll see the Word, which is the Wedding Garment, which is the righ-teousness of Jesus Christ. And there She can stand, not in her oldfilthy rags but in the righteousness of Jesus Christ in the Resurrection.To me, that is...that’s what I understand, according to the Word. That’snot my own interpretation. I said what the Word said.

50So we see then that...why did He do it that way? Because if He

didn’t do it through the Word, Satan could imitate it like he did thetongues and the shouts and everything else. Because I believe Satanbelieves. Following me now? You’ve got to have a life. See what Imean now? “I believe the Message.” He believes it also. It must be alife. And the life is the Word. Therefore he just brought Word byWord. You say, “What kind of word?” All right. Word like, “Ques-tions And Answers,” ’64. Word like, “Marriage And Divorce.” Yousay, “What kind of word?” Word like where the Word reached behindthe Blood if you had committed adultery. That kind of word. That’swhat he brought.

Who could know that there? The devil had everybody trapped,because I don’t mean everybody, but he had a whole lot of peopletrapped, is that right, with adultery way back here some time ago, be-fore they were saved. God only reached behind the Blood for onething, adultery. Nothing else, adultery. And what did Brother Branhamsay when he went down to hell? “Lord, I’ve been a good boy, I nevercommitted adultery.” That’s the one thing from the beginning. Andthat’s it. And if the devil could have gotten a Bride to commit spiritualfornication with something in the world out here, but the Word of Godwashed Her according to Ephesians 5:26. For by the water of the Word.Amen? Washed Her with fuller soap, amen, according to the Word ofGod.

And if She washed Herself and She put on Jesus: put you onthe Lord Jesus Christ. She put Him on by revelation, by the stimula-tion of the revelation as to Who He was. And that Message was God.Malachi 4 Shout has come friends. I don’t want to be running over andscreaming over there, “I thought Elias was supposed...” He’s alreadycome. I receive him now. Amen? You receive the Malachi 4 Messagenow. See?

So I believe that there’ll be...there was no mimics to this. Theycouldn’t mimic this. They tried. They probed at it. They didn’t knowwhat it was. See? It’s finished. See what I mean now? You’re justripening now. Just ripening and you have to ripen because it’s a seed.The sun is ripening you, the Word’s here. He got that Message out.See, it fell on the floor of God’s House. It’s there. He...it’s on the

51tapes, it’s in your hearts. It’s in your mouths. It’s all over you. It’s theWord. You’re anointed with the Word. Amen?

So I believe then that the Seventh Seal will show a finishedwork of a living Bride. A living Bride by a Shout. Did you get that?See look, the others, they’re already redeemed. They were sealed wayback there till the day of their redemption. Amen. But He had to doa...it had do be a work of His Word. Something had to be finishedthere but He couldn’t let Satan see it. Amen? So He did it by theShout, the Word.

And then when the Voice comes, there it is. Seal breaks, yousee the Bride with the Wedding Garment on now. Amen? And it also,it shall reveal history like I said, and the age and so forth. The Bridewill be vindicated by the Voice, a Word-born Bride - just one momentin closing. A Word-born Bride begotten by the Word. Amen? TheWord come in ’63, begotten by that germatized cell, that germ of life.Malachi 4 was the germ of life that God hid in the womb of Laodicea.Hid it in there. Is that right? And in due season brought it forth in ’63.

And that was the germ that fell in there. I believe that. Voicewent in there, rent the veil. Amen? Then God added Word, tent min-istry? No Word, Word, Word; son of man? No, no. Word, Word,Word. Amen? Natural man, cell on cell. Spiritual man, Word onWord. Noah’s Ark, Word on Word. Amen? God’s Bride, Word onWord, hidden from the devil. There’ll be no mimics to this, it’s theThird Pull. They say, oh. He said that watch when that press comes.Thanks be to God, the Shout had to come first because when the presscomes, you won’t have nothing. The devil’s gonna kill everybodydown here, if the Shout didn’t go forth first.

The only people in the world who will stand, the Bride. Thinkon that now. Because the Shout went forth first. Amen? Nothingmaterial, but eternal. Can’t see it. But things eternal, that’s the thing.Things that you don’t see is eternal. So don’t let these fleshy eyes lookaround here at some man. It ain’t no man. Ain’t no Joshua, this kindof man, it ain’t no tent. It’s God Himself, working in you, the hope ofglory. Don’t look to no man. You look to Jesus Christ. Amen. PraiseGod.

I’ve got so many other things to say but we have to close off

52sometimes. Amen? Word on Word, see? Hid in secrecy in the wombof God so Satan couldn’t mimic it. He can’t mimic that Word. He can,“halleluiah,” but he can’t understand it. He can’t live it. He tried - hetried to live it, see, but he can’t do it. You know why? His spirit canonly go up just before the Resurrection: made known. Did you getthat?

That spirit that mimics, interprets it, spirit of error, comes sofar, just like Judas, but God’s law makes it known before Resurrection,for it’s not life. Get that now? It’s not life. And only the Word is life.So only the Word shall resurrect there, in that sense. You following menow? Therefore Judas, that spirit today, those make-believers, thatchaff, they are drying up now. They can’t figure it out. The deathangel has moved through the land, see, taking them out, taking themout, taking them out, taking them out. And there’s a Bride standingalone holding to the unchanging hand of God, the Word. Amen. PraiseGod.

So now the Bride holds the Shout dear to Her heart, ponders itlike Mary. Ponders it in her heart, amen? It’s restored in there andShe...unless She tells somebody, they might snatch at it. “Give me thatthere.” “I ain’t got nothing myself. Go to those who sell it.” Amen?“Go to them, I have nothing myself.” Is that right? She holds it rightthere, lest the devil should get a hold of it. He’d mimic it. See? But hecan’t because God put a direct telephone line in there with Him. Hespeaks over that line with a Voice, the Word. Amen?

And then we see then that they probe at it, see? They’re prob-ing now at the Seventh Seal with fables, ideas, genealogies. It must bea certain kind of people, it must be this here. It’s not that. It’s theWord. See now? It’s secret. They don’t know it. See what I meannow?

But it’ll be revealed, finished in God’s season and also God’stime according to the Malachi 4 Message by a vindicated Prophet.Amen? This will be the Eagle Message that the seed has matured,ripened with signs following it; Resurrection, power restored. Amen?The Word cut short in righteousness, see? Now Christ is now hidingin His Word giving us strength. Amen? As we mature, He is dispens-ing mercy through the Prophet’s Message. That’s all. Because it hides

53the glories of God. Amen?

No Mercy Seat, see? There’s no Mercy now. See? It’s in theWord. The Word now is preaching to the eternal lost, doomed, see?The sanctuary’s smoky, see? As we take the Word, we receive help,mercy veiled in the Word. If this means a tent ministry that we are tolook forward to; if this means a son of man doctrine or if this means awhite horse rider; we don’t say anything against this here, well thatwill be interpreted in the Resurrection. I ain’t fighting that. But I haveto stand with the Message, what the Prophet said. I didn’t never heardhim teach that. He taught the Word. Former and latter rain comingover together according to...all of his visions according to the Word.Amen? That’s what he taught.

And all those visions have been interpreted by itself, his vi-sions of forty years ago, I mean more than that. When he was in hell,the sign was that women with the bushed-up hair and the eyes; that’smade known. You see it. Therefore there it is right there. That needsno interpretation.

The other one he had with the golden cross flowing into him.That happened. It was the Third Pull. That needs no interpretation.Therefore his vision about a tent, according to what he said in the Word,it needs no interpretation. It’s the Word, the Third Pull. It’s madeknown itself. Amen?

So we see then friends that, I believe God will ride the sametrail one more time. Do you believe that there? Amen, praise theLord. The Word which Christ has planted in our hearts with the Shout,see, with a Shout will be manifested through the Bride’s lips by theVoice of the Spoken Word. Amen? He’ll manifest what He put inthere Himself. He’ll speak it out. He’ll take out what’s in there. Fromthe heart comes the abundance through the mouth comes the abun-dance of the heart. Well what He put in there, it just flows, rivers ofliving water. Amen?

So but, He’s got a Voice to speak it, a mouth, the Bride, themouthpiece. Spirit say come. Malachi 4, Bride say come. Amen?Scripture. She’s got on her Wedding Garment. See? Then this greattent ministry where it’s supposed to be a change in a little room, Iknow the Bible says in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye we shall be

54changed. I know the dead in Christ will...that they’ll get back headsand arms and legs and everything else. I know that. If that’s the way -I don’t know. But the Bible says that we’ll be changed in a moment, inthe twinkling of an eye. And people who lost their heads and eyes andso forth, they’ll get it back in the Resurrection. If that’s what He means,I don’t...I wouldn’t interpret that because I let the Word do it. Amen?

So therefore I see that Christ comes two, for a witness. Now Isaid Christ comes two. Not man, Christ. So the Bible says the LordHimself descended with a Shout, that’s one, and with a Voice, that’stwo. Amen? That’s two witnesses. Through the Prophet, son of man,in the Prophet, through the Prophet, son of man in the Bride makingHimself known for a witness. Now why? For a wicked and adulterousgeneration seek a sign. And they’ll get no sign but the sign of theResurrection. Amen?

And this is the most wicked and adulterous generation. Andthey got a sign, Malachi 4. Amen? Christ, the same yesterday, todayand forever and they’ll get another sign, the Bride of Jesus Christ. Hecan say, “Satan, there’s the Bride.” Ah. “There She is. Word born,Word on Word, cell on cell.” Every Word of God, Brother Ben. Amen.Praise God. Do you believe that there?

Then together with the dead in Christ, will come another Voicefor a confirmation. Amen? A trumpet shall blow. Amen. And thedead in Christ shall fall in line with those who are living and togetherwith the family, shall go up into the air to meet the Lord who has leftthe Mercy Seat already and is descending with a Shout and a Voice.And there we’ll be called to the Wedding Supper. Amen? Whereyou’ll go on up there, like Brother Branham said, both wives togetherand go up for their crown and everything else and so, and the Prophetsaid; we didn’t understand this, that he’ll face every one of you forwhat he preached. Amen. I want to meet him. I want to meet him.Amen. Speaking five things you must do minister. I want to meet theProphet. I preached those five things. I mean, I stayed within that. Ispoke what’s on the tapes and I said what’s in the Word. Amen?

55Bible said that we shall be together, see, the Prophet said so. We’llknow one another there. Like we know one another here. Amen? Iwant to go up. Amen. Praise God. Do you love Him?

Well I know I kept you long but that was upon my heart. There’sstill more there, see? But I...amen, but because that was there. Seewhat I mean now? And therefore let us sing this old song, because I’llkeep you a little bit longer because this song was on my heart. 114.Because it’s here. You see what I mean now? Do you love Him?Eternal God?
