THE SHOUT,
THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL
AND THE TRUMP OF GOD
(Sᴀᴛᴜʀᴅᴀʏ 27ᴛʜ Oᴄᴛᴏʙᴇʀ, 2018 P.M. Bʀᴏ. Vɪɴ A. Dᴀʏᴀʟ)
BRO. JUAN CEDEÑO (Question): The Shout was clearly an event that Bro. Branham fulfilled.
The Voice of the Archangel and the Trump of God is it something to come or is happening and we are not recognizing it like the men on the road to Emmaus?
What event identifies the Voice of the Archangel?
[
BRO. VIN (Answer): Praise the Lord. God bless you, brothers. You know, these are some… I must say I really appreciate sitting in your midst and hearing the things, such fine exposition by the Ministers, and especially on a subject that is very important if we have to leave this dimension to get to the Seventh Dimension; to be able to go in the Rapture. And this is actually the core of the Message. We are talking about the Seventh Seal, the Coming of the Lord, (the appearing and the Coming,) and the going away of the Bride.
He has appeared. He has been revealed. We are being gathered. We are receiving a faith and this faith is faith for Rapturing Grace. And you know, approaching subjects like these in the Day when the Seals are taken off the Book, it is necessary to take the laws of interpretation, find your Seed in Genesis, and then you go to Revelation. Because if you find the right Seed in Genesis, it will take you all the way to Revelation.
And when we’re talking about the Rapture, then we know that the first Rapture was in Genesis and the Last Rapture is in Revelation. And then we had a Rapture between the Old Testament and the New Testament that Bro. Branham called ‘the keystone’ that ties the first two Raptures with the last two Raptures. So if you take that channel, you’ll find that everything could run smoothly.
You know, sometimes we can read quotations to reinforce the guidelines that were given to us by the Prophet. This is what it is. Bro. Branham didn’t come to explain, Bro. Branham came to reveal. He said, “This Last Day Messenger, he’s not a reformer.”
The Old Testament Prophet Moses wrote the Old Testament.
The New Testament Apostle Paul wrote the New Testament.
Because all the other prophets, they took out of the first five Books that Moses wrote and they developed certain lines of prophecy from those original five Books. Moses
brought all the doctrine in the Old Testament.
Apostle Paul brought all the doctrine in the New Testament.
He was like a Moses. He met the Pillar of Fire. He was caught up into the Third Heaven. He came back with the Word. Think about it.
Matthew wrote one gospel.
Mark wrote one, but he really wasn’t one of the apostles; he was Peter’s nephew, and Peter called him, “My son,” which was like his son in the faith. Because Mark was writing about Jesus was lying down and holding the pillow inside the boat and all these things in the midst of the storm. He couldn’t have known this; somebody had to tell him this. And we realized that the great contention between apostle Paul and Barnabas was over Mark.
Then Luke wrote one gospel and the Book of Acts.
And John wrote one gospel and three epistles. James, the Lord’s brother, and Jude, they wrote one each: the Book of James and the Book of Jude. And Peter wrote 1st Peter and 2nd Peter: two epistles. Do the math; count them.
They all walked with Jesus but they saw things and they heard things from other apostles.
Apostle Paul wrote fourteen (14) epistles to Seven Churches and he never walked with Jesus in the flesh.
So when you look at the Scriptures, apostle Paul brought all this doctrine. He was the one who spoke about the Rapture.
The first epistle he wrote was Thessalonians, and in there is the threefold Secret of the Coming of the Lord.
And in 2nd Thessalonians he continued the same vision. Because after 1st Thessalonians 4, he began to go into exhortation, you know, telling them, “Prove all things. Hold fast that which is good. Don’t despise prophesying;” exhorting them. And when he started, 2nd Thessalonians 1: Jesus appearing with His mighty angels in flaming fire when He comes to take vengeance upon them who obeyed not the Gospel; when His Name is to be glorified in His saints. That’s right.
So, this what we have seen… We have seen Jesus being revealed from Heaven.
Romans chapter 1, verse 18, apostle Paul said, “The wrath of God being revealed from Heaven” – Jesus with His mighty angels in flaming fire.
When the Cloud was photographed and turned to the right, the Angels were the wig, and it was the Judge, the One Who comes to take vengeance on the disobedient who obeyed not the Gospel. That is the wrath being revealed from Heaven.
In Romans 2, Paul said, “God will judge the world by my Gospel.” That is Scripture. Heaven and earth will pass away; It cannot pass away. Paul talked about the appearing of the righteous Judge Who’ll come to judge the quick and the dead. Paul talked about the Blessed and only Potentate, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In His Own time, He will show who this Blessed and only Potentate is.
Apostle John, caught up into the Third Heaven—caught up into the vision rather, and saw Christ and on His vesture was written: “King of Kings and Lord of Lords.”
But apostle Paul talked that over thirty years before apostle John started to see the visions – about the Supreme Judge; about King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
So when we see this one, he was the prophet-messenger like Zerubbabel who laid the foundation stone. And the same Zerubbabel, (because Zerubbabel means Christ,) he would have been the king of Judah.
But because Israel was under Gentile dominion, the Babylonian power, and then the Medes and the Persians, he could not be a king because they were under Gentile dominion. You see? So he was just like a Governor governing Jews: “Go back and build the temple; go and do these things.”
But if you look up the name, it’s really a type of Christ, the One Who laid the foundation stone, and the One Who brought the Headstone with shoutings of grace. And Bro. Branham applied that to apostle Paul and himself: the same one who laid the foundation stone, and the one who has the prophetic capstone ministry to bring the capstone revelation to the Church in the last days.
And so when we look at apostle Paul’s writings, he put the mystery of the Seventh Seal in there. Jesus never said, “I will come with a Shout, a Voice and a Trump.” Jesus said, “I will come again and I will receive you unto Myself.” But that vision which apostle John saw, which Bro. Branham saw, apostle Paul saw that same vision. 1st Thessalonians 4 and Revelation 10, is the exact same vision.
Listen to this. What apostle John was doing, John was taken up with the description of the Person: “Oh, His eyes are like a flame of fire. Oh, His feet were like fine brass. Oh, His voice,” you know, and he was giving the whole description. But apostle Paul just said, “The Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a Shout.” When he continues the vision in 2nd Thessalonians 1, he said, “Jesus with His mighty angels in flaming fire."
Now think of this. Bro. Branham said in Is This The Sign Of The End, Sirs?, “If the vision is scriptural, it must be interpreted by the Scripture or be a continuation of the same Scripture.” [1962-1230e - para. 28 –Ed.] He said, “Any true prophet, when he gets a vision, he goes to the Bible to interpret his vision.” [1962-1230e -para. 7 –Ed.] Because there’s nothing in God’s plan that is not in the Bible. Everything concerning God’s plan, God put in this Book.
Every Bride who is going to be part of the Bride from the first Age to the last Age, is in the Book. Because where else are you going to see your name? Not in the newspaper; not in a magazine. Your name has to be in the Lamb’s Book of Life. That is not a Book in Heaven; that’s the Bible. In this Day we’re finding out the Bible is called a Title Deed to an inheritance.
When the Prophet said, “The Bible has become a new Book to me,” he started to see, “This is a Seven Sealed Book. There are the family members in Here. It has the inheritance. It has the mystery of the Kinsman. It has the mystery of Elohim, Melchisedec and Jesus – the condescension of God.” (Historical Shift : Most users on English Stack Exchange agree that 'condescension', the word's meaning has shifted over time. Historically (such as in 18th- or 19th-century literature), it used to describe a positive or gracious act where a person of high rank voluntarily treated someone of lower rank as an equal. Today, that polite meaning is obsolete, and it only refers to an insulting display of superiority.)
He started to realize the Bible has two sections. There is a section where the names could be blotted out. It shows you the first birth: “We were in Adam,” and It shows you the New Birth, the Lamb’s section; where the first birth in your earthly journey, you come to a junction when God intervenes in your life like He intervened in prophet Moses’ life, like He intervened in patriarch Abraham’s life; like He intervened in apostle Peter and their lives.
There is a time for all of us, like when He intervened in aposy Paul’s life. They were born on the earth. They didn’t know the Messiah. They had a secular job. Matthew was a tax collector. Peter was a fisherman. They were doing what they were doing. But in the Scripture there was a prophecy of Elijah and the Son of Man, and they happened to be living in the Day when Elijah was going to come on the scene and introduce the Son of Man. And they were going to see this, recognize their day, recognize their Message, and begin to carry that Message of the purpose of the coming of Elijah and the Son of Man. They were even going to be beneficiaries that the God Who was in the Son of Man was going to come into them when it changed from a one man move.
John the Baptist was one man. Jesus was one Man. But what followed them is a many-membered Body. That’s right. There is no more one-man Scripture for Gentiles. In the days of the voice of the Seventh Angel when he: personal pronoun, singular, masculine – one man. In the days of the voice of the Seventh Angel when he, not them, not she; he – one man.
And so, when we look and we see this… Bro. Branham was looking back in the Bible and he preached the message The Rapture. [1965-1204 –Ed.] He didn’t talk about this Rapture alone. He talked about — he said, “There are five Raptures,” and he went to Genesis. What was he doing? Using Bible principle. He’s a Prophet; he must go to the Scripture. He must prove what he was saying by the Word because he came to reveal, and the Rapture is a revelation only for the Bride. Because you have to be born again and then grow up into Christ and be formed in the Word image, and then experience the change to go in the Rapture.
So when we look and see, son of man’s ministry is always Shout, Voice and Trump. Son of man is always Shout, Voice and Trump. Genesis 18-21… Do you agree that Genesis 17 is the Pentecostal Age? I could go back in Genesis earlier and start from Ephesus. Eve was in Adam unexpressed while Adam walked in the Garden. When Jesus walked on the earth, we were in Him unexpressed. We had time and season to be expressed. “It is not good that the Second Adam should be alone; I will make Him an help.”
The same way God took the bride out of the first Adam, God took the Bride out of the Second Adam. And the same way God built the bride from the feet up to the head and then brought her, a Church without spot and without wrinkle, and God performed the marriage between the head (Christ Jesus) and the body (Bride-Church), between the bridegroom and the bride, it’s the same thing happening in this Hour – uniting time and sign.
While God is forming the Bride, He knows the time is going to come for the uniting time when He has Her completed. He can’t marry the feet and the rest of the Bride is missing. He can’t marry the feet and the thighs and the abdomen and rest of the Bride is missing. He has to have the whole Bride. He’s not marrying a piece of the Bride. All the members make up the Body and the Body is the Bride, the true Church, and Christ is the Head of the Body, and we are the members of the Body. And in each Age, a portion of the names that were chosen in Christ were manifested, and then a next Age.
Because no one person lived in Seven Ages. A portion of the names were in each Age. We’re at the last portion of the names. That’s right.
And that’s why the Head didn’t appear in Luther’s time. The Head could not appear in Wesley’s time, because the Head is to come and take the Headship over the Body. Because when you come to the Seed, all the Life is in the Seed, the entirety of the Word. It takes the entirety of the Word and the entirety of the Life to make the Seed. And Christ was the Seed. And when the Seed fell in the ground and died and was to bring forth a Harvest, the Husbandman cannot reap it until it comes back in the same image like the first One. So when
Christ is reproduced in His people then He’s going to come. And that’s why the Head appeared.
Shout, Voice and Trump are not like, “Well, Bro. Branham had the Shout; he died and went so the Shout is done.” Who could claim that the Shout is over? What gathered you? You came in the Message after Bro. Branham died because the Shout continues on in the Bride.
Bro. Branham didn’t come to Peru. Which church did Bro. Branham start in Peru? God had men here who went out, who began to preach, and the preaching, is the ‘Shout’ Message. They’re introducing the Prophet, Elijah, the son of man, and these things, without seeing themselves fully (that’s right,) because you’re growing in the Word. And then when you start to see yourself, it begins to move now into another phase. The Shout doesn’t disappear out of you.
When you meet sinners, because they’re elected unto salvation, they get attracted but they haven’t got the New Birth, so you pull the ‘Shout’ out and you begin to show them what God had done in this Day. You begin to say, “Separate from organization. Come out of her, my people!” That’s right. You begin to bring them and let them see who the Messenger was.
When Jesus came, he was preaching who John the Baptist was: “What went you out to see? A reed shaken with the wind? A man in fine raiment?” He said, “I say unto you, this is My messenger I’ve sent before My face.” He began to show to them that this was a prophet and more than a prophet. “He is the greatest man born of a woman.”
Why was Jesus doing that? Because if they didn’t see John the Baptist, they couldn’t understand Him. They had to see John the Baptist first to understand Him. And if they had to go to the Holy Ghost, they had to understand John the Baptist and Jesus, because this is the continuity of the plan of God. You don’t get the Holy Ghost without seeing the Son of Man. And to be certain that is the Son of Man, you have to see Elijah (ministry) who introduced Him.
So the Shout goes on. The Shout is in the Bride because it’s a revelation. As Bro. Branham said, “You don’t say spring stops here and summer starts here. It’s like a lap over. One fades into the next.” Those of us who have come to this realization, we still preach Elijah has come, we still preach where the Son of Man is revealed, but the real emphasis is in the Bride part now, because this is the part they have to recognize.
Because the Shout was Eliezer, the Shout was John the Baptist, the Shout was Jesus, the Son of Man, Isaac. You see? But Rebekah, she knew who Eliezer was; she knew who Isaac was. She knew she was not Eliezer and she was not Isaac. She knew that because Isaac sent Eliezer, she was called. She knew what she was dressed in, Eliezer received that from Isaac. Because Christ gave the Prophet the Word! The Prophet had no Word. The only Revealer of the Word is the Holy Spirit. Only the Holy Spirit reveals the Word. He’s the Spirit of Truth. Let me show you.
Bro. Branham was caught up in the midst of Seven Angels: “Go back and open the Seals for God!” He came back east, set the tabernacle and was going into the Seals. And going to preach The First Seal [1963-0318 –Ed.], he was going to preach, “The White Horse Rider is the Holy Ghost,” after meeting Seven Angels; after the King’s Sword. And the Angel had to come down and say, “You have that wrong. Fix that now.” Do you understand?
You see, we have to read a little closer. We have to get into the experience of the Prophet. We saw the Prophet, but behind the Prophet was the Unseen One – Christ. He was just the mask. The Shout was Christ in the Prophet. Because the Son of Man in this Day is not the corporal body; it’s God in human flesh. Because Genesis 18 was God in a man, not God in Jesus. Jesus wasn’t born yet. And when Jesus was teaching, He pointed them back to the Day of Sodom. “As it was in that Day” – a day like Sodom. We have the setting. Bro. John was explaining just now the pressure, the two angels blinding the people from the door. Christ is the Door. That’s right. And they were blinding them.
And when we look and we see how this Day… Because Son of Man came three times: in the beginning of the Bible, in the middle of the Bible and at the end of the Bible. Son of Man came to Abraham, Son of Man came to Abraham’s natural seed, and Son of Man came to the royal Seed in the last days. That’s what I was preaching this morning: The Son Of Man And His End Time Sign Seed – the Harvest of the sons, the Super Race, the manifested sons, the people in His image; the spoken Seed Word Bride. [2018-1027m –Ed.] This is the Last Day Bride, the one who has received the fullness of the Word, the one who sees the mystery of Her name in the Book.
So when we look and see, Son of Man, when He came to Abraham, when did He come? In Genesis 18. Genesis 18 follows Genesis 17. In Genesis 17, Abram received a new name. God put the ‘H’ – Abraham. It came with circumcision on the eighth day, a type of the New Birth. Because in Genesis 12, Abraham was coming out of Babylon, crossing the river Euphrates like Luther, the water, coming separated from the system and coming over into Canaan.
In Genesis 15 God said, “Kill a three year old heifer, a three year old ram; two turtledoves.” God was confirming the covenant by blood. Sanctification, the message of the Blood. Genesis 17, God gave Abraham the New Birth, circumcision, a type of the Holy Spirit; put the ‘H’ in. ‘H’ in the Hebrew could only be uttered by an outbreathing like “Huh,” and that’s the breath of God coming to Abraham, quickening him. But at the end of the Pentecostal Age, God was coming in the form of a Man with dust on His clothes walking, a Man Who turned His back to the tent and could discern the heart, the Messianic sign – knows the secrets of the heart. That’s right. And that’s the sign.
And then the Voice of the sign: “Shall I hide from Abraham what I’m about to do?” It was the time of the investigation judgment: “I’ve heard the cries; I am come down.” What was that? The appearing of the Angels, the revealing of the Judge. He said, “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” Because Abraham began to understand. He was a prophet and he began to understand what was happening, that this was investigation. Judgment is on the way following the Seventh Age, the Pentecostal Age. That’s right. And this was the Person. Abraham called Him, “Elohim.”
First we saw the sign then the Voice of the sign. And He revealed to Abraham, under the Sixth Seal, He will turn Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes. The Gentile world will be burnt with fire. But He revealed to Abraham a mystery: “According to the time of life, I will return; I, Who am here right now. Sarah will have a visitation. This visitation will cause you all to begin to put on your Eden beauty – a transformation; a change.” Because He called Abraham by the new name and He called Sarah by the new name and that’s why Abraham caught something. “Abraham,” (He didn’t say, Abram,) “where is your wife, Sarah.” He didn’t say Sarai.
So they knew who this One was. Just like we knew this One Who came and turned His back and discerned the heart; this One out of Whose mouth: the mystery of the change, the mystery of the burning of the Gentile world; the mystery of the Coming of the promised Son. All of these were the Mysteries. When? Through the coming of the Angels, the appearing of the Judge. That’s right.
And so when we look and we see this in Genesis, Shout, He was opening up the Mysteries. They knew the Gentile world was about to be burnt. That’s the Sixth Seal – the fire will come from Heaven, the wrath of God. And Abraham went into desperation. He said, “No, You can’t do it yet. Would You do it if You find fifty? What about forty or thirty?” And he began to intercede, standing in the gap. The mercy seat was in Abraham, and God coming as the Judge, because Abraham had the Life of God and he was standing in the gap for his family.
Just like Rahab under the token, “Give me a sure token; my family,” in a hour of judgment when the church came back in the Ephesians under the message of the exodus prophet who called them out of and brought them into the land of the fathers, (that’s right!) when the iniquity of the Amorites was full, when redemption and judgment were moving together – the mystery of the Seals and the Vials. That’s right. Redemption for the Elect and judgment for the others.
Just like Ezekiel 9, a Sealing Angel was sealing them up. Just like the Book of Acts, the Sealing Angel, the Holy Ghost, the Angel of God, was directing Peter, directing Philip; directing Paul and the Sperm was coming through the Body to multiply and replenish before Titus, the slaughtering angels were let loose; going from city to city getting the Elect out quickly. That’s right.
So when we see the plan… So watch Son of Man back there: Shout, Voice and Trump. They were changed and the promised Son came on the scene. Watch in the middle of the Bible, Matthew 24, the opening of the Seals. Is Matthew 24 the opening of the Seals? Is Matthew 13 the Seven Church Ages? Is it?
The record of the Church is likened to the wheat plant. It started off with the seed that fell in the ground and died; came out through stalk, tassel, and shuck. When it comes into the Grain: “I’ll send My Angel to separate. I’ll gather My Wheat and bind the tares for the burning.” That’s what is happening now.
So when you look in the middle of the Bible, Matthew 24, the Lamb was on the mountain and they asked Him three questions at the setting of the sun. In the morning time they were down in the city, then they went up on the Mount of Olives in the afternoon. And then they came and they asked, “What do You mean about not one stone will remain standing?” And He began to open the Seals answering three questions: “When shall these things be? What is the sign of Thy Coming, and the end of the world?” And then when He came to Matthew 4:36, He began to go into parables. He said, “No man knows the day or the hour; the Father has it shut up.”
And from there, it was parable after parable after parable, and every one of those parables is the mystery of His Coming; from Matthew 24:36 to Matthew 25:13. Because Matthew 25:1-13 is the parable of the ten virgins, and this is the one that was put last – the midnight cry, a Voice seeing the Bridegroom coming; catching a vision of the Coming of the Bridegroom (that’s right) and began to announce the Coming of the Bridegroom. And that Message woke up the sleeping virgins.
And there were two classes: one with Oil, and one without Oil. They had gone out to meet the Bridegroom. Out from where? From the whore and the harlots. Because Christianity, the great Catholic Church, the great whore, the daughters, the Protestant churches, are harlots. But these ten are virgins. They are not whore or harlots; they are virgins. The whore and the harlots are to be burnt in the ecumenical move. They are the tares.
But the foolish virgins, they will go through the Tribulation. They do not have part in the First Resurrection because though they heard the announcement and saw the Messenger, they are without the Holy Spirit. And by one Spirit you’re baptized in the Body. And the Resurrection is for those in Christ, not outside of Christ.
Because ‘outside of Christ’ means, you’re not converted. And if you’re not converted, you cannot know the Word in the present tense. You praise God for what He did in the past, you praise Him for what He’s going to do in the future, and you can’t recognize what is happening. That’s right. Because it takes the Holy Spirit in you to guide you into the Truth; to teach you the Truth. You are led by the Spirit to quicken the part of the Word that you are, that the Spirit points out to you.
As Bro. Ever [Montalvan –Ed.] was saying, “You see your part.” The Spirit tells you, “That’s you.” You look in the Mirror. The Spirit says, “Wave in the Mirror.” He says, “What are you seeing?”
“I’m seeing myself waving back.”
He said, “Scratch your head” – second confirmation.
“Roll up your sleeve” – third confirmation.
An oath of confirmation is an end of all strife. Everything is established by the mouth of two or three witnesses to be the truth. So he knew. He said, “Mama, that’s me.” He woke up to realize his election, his calling; the identification of the Holy Spirit. When he comes there now, he’s in a definite part of the Word. He’s in the part of the Word that is to continue from the Shout. He’s awakened, he’s quickened and he comes to the realization that he’s part of a Body of believers, that by and through the members of the Bride, God will finish His work.
And She ( Bride) knows it is He in Her fulfilling His Own Word that He left for this time. And She has THUS SAITH THE LORD or keeps still, showing that it is Christ having the preeminence in Her. There is no self-will here. She’s a prisoner to the will of God, bound in the chains of the Word, that Christ is living through Her because She knows it is He in Her. Greater is He that is in you.
So when we see the middle of the Bible, the Shout is the opening of the Seals. Then we had the rejection: What shall I do with this Jesus called Christ, the vindicated Word? They washed their hands of it. He said, “Pilate’s judgment hall, that was the rejection of the vindicated Word, the leadership of Eternal Life.” He said, “But Calvary was the public crucifixion.” He said, “We are moving from the rejection to the public crucifixion.” And when He came on the Cross, He cried with a loud voice. And the Prophet said, “Watch the Shout and the Voice here,” on The Rapture. He said, “Watch the Shout and the Voice there, and watch it over here in today.”
Did we have a Son of Man with a Message? Did the Sadducees, Pharisees, Herodians, Baptists, Pentecostals, Methodists, they joined together though they all disagreed and gave their support to the Roman power to crucify, to reject the ministry of the Son of Man, the vindicated Word? That’s what they did. They went to Pilate. They said, “We have no king but Caesar.”
And they aligned themselves with the Roman power because they couldn’t kill Him because they were under Roman government and Rome had to do that. And Bro. Branham was bringing this to us to show, with the rejection comes the public crucifixion.
When were the Seals opened, Matthew 24? In 1963. Go on your Sixth Seal [1963-0323 –Ed.], he said, “Tonight we’ll do something different.” First, he was opening The First Seal [1963-0318 –Ed.], Second Seal [1963-0319 –Ed.], out of Revelation 6. But when he came there on The Sixth Seal, he said, “Let me show you all these Seals.” And he went to Matthew 24, he said, “Here are the Seals in written form. Revelation 6, here are the Seals in symbol form.” And he compared them and showed it’s the same. You see?
Because he was coming now and when he came to the Seventh, nothing was written. And he said, “Look, John couldn’t write anything. He was forbidden.” So then he said, “Jesus wouldn’t speak anything about it.” He began to talk in parables. And he took those two Scriptures and he said, “So by this, I am not permitted to tell you also because if Satan gets ahold of this, he’ll do great damage. Don’t try to interpret anything.”
And he started to talk about transmission and receiving. Because like all the appliances in the house: you have a stove, you have a refrigerator, you have a vacuum cleaner, you have a washing machine, you have a dryer, that’s a purchased possession. There is an owner of all of this. He purchased it.
And he has a television inside of there too, but this fellow is a little different to the others because this fellow could pick up things from the unseen realm. All those images and voices are passing through the house, and the refrigerator says, “Whoa, I feel something,” but he isn’t seeing anything. You know, the vacuum cleaner is making a bunch of noise and dust is flying everywhere, but poor fellow, he isn’t seeing anything.
The microwave, he could heat up little things, but he isn’t seeing anything. But the television, brother, is catching those things and bringing them out from the unseen world.
And so Bro. Branham was showing us: “The world will not see Me, but you will see Me. I will come to you. I will make My abode with you. I will manifest Myself to you. I’ll bring back the things to your remembrance. I will teach you all things. I’ll show you the things to come.”
One of the brothers I think was speaking, or the brother who asked the question first tonight about Mary hearing the voice. Mary heard the Voice. She didn’t know who He was but she knew Him by the voice. The men on the road to Emmaus was looking at Him: “Art Thou a stranger in Jerusalem here? Haven’t You heard?” And they didn’t even know who He was. But He had a way He used to break the bread, and He did that personally for them, and when He did it, their eyes opened. They said, “The Lord is risen!”
Then Peter and John and they, He left them and let them go back on the Sea of Tiberias. Because the Sea of Tiberias and the Lake Gennesaret are the same thing; just two different names because where it is located, there are different sides of the country. So on one side, if you live on that side, they call it ‘Lake Gennesaret’. If you live on the other side, they call it ‘Sea of Galilee’. That was where He met them the first time. He said, “Let down your nets here.” So He came and did the same thing He did with them before. This teaches us, He deals with each one of us in our own unique personal way, and there’s a way we are able to identify when He comes to us. Because He purposely does that so nobody can impersonate you.
So when we look and see, we had Shout, opening of the Seals, Son of Man in the middle of the Bible, then we had the Voice crying out. There were two voices. I’m sure you picked that up. There are two loud voices of the smitten Masterpiece. First there was darkness on the land when He was rejected in Pilate’s judgment hall.
And at the sixth hour, darkness covered everything; gross darkness on the earth and on the peoples.
And at the ninth hour, the time of the evening sacrifice, something happened. The darkness began to move back and He cried out with a loud voice. And when He cried out, the Old Testament saints awoke, the overcomers, the ones who — by faith Abel, by faith Enoch, by faith Noah, by faith Abraham, by faith Isaac, by faith Jacob; these who had overcome. And they knew these all died in faith. So this was a great thing.
And so, watch the ministry of the Son of Man. It always ends with an earthquake, a preaching to the lost and a resurrection. Elohim went down into Sodom for the Last Pull to preach to the eternal lost. That’s right. Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed completely. That’s right. They went down into the Dead Sea where there are all those minerals, all these different things today; one of the wealthiest places in the world; all the chemicals and these things. Then after the preaching to the lost, was the raising up of the overcomers, and then they began to appear to those in the city.
In Genesis, Abraham and Sarah were changed; came back young. Isaac, the promised son, came on the scene. Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed. In the middle of the Bible, watch the ministry of the Son of Man: Shout, Voice, Trump. The Old Testament overcomers came up after the preaching to the lost. And Bro. Branham said, “Watch it over there and watch it over here.” Because Son of Man comes three times: in the beginning of the Bible, in the middle of the Bible and at the end of the Bible.
So when we come to the last days, what foreruns the Shout? The healing revival; the written Mysteries. That’s right. Because the signs were to get their attention. He said, “The healing never hit the spot,” because many came for bread and fish. They were only interested in Divine healing. They weren’t interested in the Word. He said, “It never hit the spot.” He said, “And all the years under the healing ministry, I looked for a Message because of what He said on the river: “As John was sent to forerun the First Coming, so shall your Message forerun the Second Coming.” He knew there was a Message to come; that Elijah was to restore lost things; that there were hidden Secrets in the Bible.
God told Daniel, “Shut up the Words, Daniel. Fall into your lot and sleep. It’s not for your time. It’s for many days.” Do you think He could have explained to Daniel what this Age is like? They were driving around a little chariot on the walls of Babylon and they were in that kind of civilization. And here we’re in a space Age; astronauts in outer space. That’s right. Here we have a different kind of civilization – so far advanced and we have communication networks that bring the whole world into a global village.
We have the opening of the fourth dimension. You can sit in your room with a plastic card, go into Japan through the fourth dimension, go into Toyota’s parking lot, look at a few cars, choose one, pay for it right there – electronic banking; arrange shipment, arrange with your broker all the fees, your import taxes, and they bring it to your door. Daniel couldn’t understand this. They didn’t do business like that. Jet travel; travel around the world so fast? He said, “You fall asleep, Daniel. Knowledge shall increase in the last days and if I go to explain this to you, you wouldn’t understand.”
So there was Word that was revealed but not understood. Daniel was seeking God for understanding of the vision. Then John heard something to write. Here with Daniel, we have unrevealed Word. With John, he goes to write it. He said, “Don’t write it.” We have unwritten Word. Unrevealed Word and unwritten Word – Mysteries sealed up.
But in the days of the Voice of the Seventh Angel, all this unrevealed Word and all this unwritten Word will be brought out and we will know, when God was not God, all the way into future Home, (that’s right), from Eternity to Eternity; the whole Mystery. We will know our names in the Book. We will know the five Raptures. We will know the three comings of the Son of Man, and every time Son of Man comes is Shout, Voice and Trump.
Then in this Day we’ve had a Shout, the opening of the Seven Seals. Not just Matthew 24; the whole Bible (hallelujah!): when He was Elohim, when everything was settled in His Mind before the foundation of the world, all the way into a New Heaven and a New Earth; that the Bible is the expression of one goal and one purpose that God had in the back-part of His Mind that angels nobody knew. And all the lives and acts of believers were expressing this one goal and one purpose. I’m quoting from the sermon entitled Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed. [1963-0728 –Ed.]
So in this Day when a man was preaching, the Scroll was unrolled; it was an open vision. He saw all the way. And Bro. Branham said, “And today I will tell you how it unfolded down to this present time,” to his time, the Seventh Angel, when God was not God all the way down to his hour. And he was telling us now what God had in the back-part of His Mind that angels didn’t know.
Seventh Seal: “Threefold mystery but it’s not permitted” – March the 24th, 1963. July the 28th, four months after: “I’ll tell you today what God had in the back-part of His Mind.” What is Christ, The Mystery Of God Revealed? A threefold Secret of Adam, Eve and Eden. Then in 1965, December the 4th, The Rapture.
First time from April the 6th, 1909, from when apostle Paul wrote Thessalonians about Shout, Voice and Trump,
December the 4th, 1965, is the first time a human being on earth could tell you what the Shout is, what the Voice is and what the Trump is. No commentary, no commentator, no minister ever knew that.
[ Shout , the ministry of one man ; Voice , the five - fold ministry consists of many men fulfilling the call as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers; Trump , the ministry of seven men called Thunders, ]
And what is The Rapture? A threefold mystery. Seventh Seal, threefold mystery: “I’ll tell you a fold of it.Seven Thunders banging out, thundering out. That’s the first fold.” He said, “One fold unfolded today.” That’s those Seven Thunders. He said, “One fold unfolded yesterday.”
For years I tried to understand that and one day the Spirit just talked to me: “Go back on your Sixth Seal. There’s something there.” Oh my! Right now I feel like I — you can’t imagine what is happening to me now because this is the thing that God showed me years ago. I went back on The Sixth Seal. That’s where the Trumpets sounded Supernaturally – under The Sixth Seal.
When he came on The Sixth Seal, he said, “Tonight we’ll do something different.” He was sealing up things. He was coming down in Revelation 6. But now he went to Matthew 24 and he was taking his First Seal: “And many shall be deceived, and then wars and rumors of wars, and then famine, and then pestilence, and then the Jews being killed, hated for My Name’s sake.”
And then on The Sixth Seal, he comes to the Tribulation… First, he came to the tribulation of those days. He said, “That was the time of amateur tribulation under Eichmann and Hitler and they. But Great Tribulation…” We are living right now between the Second Woe and the Third Woe. We are living between amateur tribulation and Great Tribulation. We are living between the six Trumpets that sounded, the Feast of Trumpets that gathered the Jews back in their homeland, and before Joseph’s brothers recognize Joseph under the Seventh Trumpet.
Revelation 10, the Seventh Seal, the threefold
mystery of the Coming, is the same vision as 1st
Thessalonians 4. It’s exactly what Jesus said: “I will
come again.” It’s exactly what Peter said: “The grace that is to be brought to us at the appearing of Jesus Christ.” Paul talked about in Titus, “The grace that bringeth salvation which was given us before the world began.”
Paul was writing in Hebrews 9, how Jesus appeared in the flesh to put away sin, then He appeared in Heaven in the heavenly sanctuary to be a High Priest, an Intercessor for us, and to them that look for Him a second time, He’ll appear without sin. Hebrews 9:24-28, three appearings: God appeared in human flesh to become the Sacrifice to put away sin, then He passed into the heavens as our great High Priest to appear in Heaven as a Mediator, an Intercessor, and then, to them that look for Him a second time.
He was describing what happened on the Day of Atonement. The Day of Atonement represents two thousand years. First thing, on the Day of Atonement, the Lamb was killed at the brass altar bearing our judgment. That was Jesus on Calvary: “Upon Him was laid the iniquity of us all.” Then after the lamb is killed, the priest takes the blood; he goes through the veil. The lamb is killed in the outer court where everybody can see him.
Everybody saw Jesus die on Calvary, but when He ascended and they were looking for Him: “But He has disappeared; I’m not seeing Him. Are you seeing Him, John? Andrew, do you see Him? Matthew, did you notice where He went?” And those two angels, (I don’t want to confuse you), Moses and Elijah; Moses and Elijah, they appeared on the mountain as part of the drama. Both of them were types of Christ. They appeared at the resurrection. They appeared.
Because right there on your Sixth Seal, on your Sixth Seal when the earthquake takes place, (and the Sixth Seal opens with a great earthquake, and we’re on the earth for about forty days and then we are taken up,) right there is where the Gospel goes back to the Jews. Right there at Calvary, is the scene.
Look Bro. Branham… You might remember this, you Ministers. On The Sixth Seal, “God delivering His son in Egypt, a slain lamb. Darkness, death, but the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. An exodus prophet took them out. Plagues filled up the land.” Then he said now, “God delivering His Son at the Cross and darkness came on the land. And He was crying out, the Lamb bleating in unknown tongues and the sun refused to shine, and the moon went down, and nature took a tumble. God delivering His Son.”
And he was showing to us that scene that is coming back. Because right at the Cross, he said the Law ended right there when the veil was rent in twain. And simultaneously when God rented the veil from top to bottom of the natural temple, the Roman soldier put the spear on the True Temple and rented the veil. And apostle Paul picked that up and said, “We’re coming through the veil by a new and living way through the Blood.” Because Jesus told them, “Destroy this temple.” In Hebrews, apostle Paul talked about the Tabernacle that the Lord pitched and not man. Because Jesus was the Lamb. He was the High Priest. Is that right? He was the Tabernacle.
In the Old Testament they had the tabernacle, the temple. They had a high priest, Aaron. They had a lamb, an animal. It was given in this way to reveal to us the achievement of God. But all of that becomes one. The Bride is the City. The Bride is the Temple. She is the Vessels. The temple, the tabernacle with Moses types Christ. The temple with Solomon types the Bride. It’s cut out all over the world in pieces and brought and put together. That’s right.
So when we look and see, every stone was cut out. Every stone had its own place according to the pattern, typing the Bride, the Church, that comes from around the world; stones cut out, lively stones; cedars, trees, men that God cut to precision according to a pattern to become the habitation. We are lively stones building up a spiritual house. We are a royal priesthood. We are a spiritual house. House is family. That is a symbol of the family, of the Bride. All that God was, He poured in Christ. The Glory that was in Moses’ tabernacle is the same Glory that came in Solomon’s tabernacle for a further unfolding of the mystery of God.
So when we look and see… Watch the Seals. Watch that Sixth Seal. He said, “Something happened. One fold unfolded yesterday and another fold flew pass me in unknown tongues.” It’s not strange. It’s a principle. There’s a key. It’s encrypted and there’s a key to decrypt the encrypted things.
That’s why I started to say in Genesis, Genesis 1:2, the earth was void and with darkness. On God’s Power To Transform [1965-0911 –Ed.], on Shalom, Bro. Branham said, “This is the condition of the world today: gross darkness on the earth and upon the peoples.” He said, “It’s time for the Spirit of God to move again like He did in Genesis.” He said, “This Seventh Seal started in Genesis in the very beginning” – Genesis 1:2 all the way to Genesis 2:25. What is from Genesis 1:2 to Genesis 2:25? That is your Seventh Seal.
Let me show you. From the darkness, that is the first move of God. That is the rising of the sun. That’s the Quickening Power that is bringing up every seed that had life to be brought out in that Hour to become part of an Eden, part of a kingdom. And at the end, Adam, (who was Adam? Christ.) a bride was taken out of him and formed and married to him. Who was that? Eve, the bride. And then they had dominion over the kingdom. A faith civilization: no sickness, no old age; no death and they had dominion. It’s a type of Christ.
The Bride is built in Seven Church Ages when God put Adam to sleep and He took part of the Bridegroom to make the Bride. And when She is completely made, they are joined in Marriage where they are no longer twain; they are one. And they are in oneness with God. Adam, Eve and Eden; Shout, Voice and Trump; Son of Man, Son of God, Son of David in Eden in Genesis 1:2 to Genesis 2:25. The Seventh Seal began at the very beginning.
Then when we came to Abraham at the end of the Pentecostal Age, I showed you Shout, Voice and Trump. And when we came to the middle of the Bible, I showed you Shout, Voice and Trump. And when we come to the last days, I showed you Shout, Voice and Trump.
And then watch something. Revelation 10 between the Sixth and Seventh Trumpets, the Seventh Seal (I’m finished), the Coming of the Lord, do you know what happens there? The last part, Moses and Elijah who were dead, were raised up. The fifth Rapture is a Rapture of Moses and Elijah – the resurrected saints with the living saints – the translated saints. And they went up in a Cloud and a Cloud received them.
And if you take that same Word, it’s what took up Elijah; what took up Enoch. A Cloud received Jesus out of their sight. A Cloud appeared in this Day until we find out it’s Christ in a mystery: “When you see the Son of Man coming in a Cloud with power and great glory.”
Even the Prophet had the picture and didn’t even know it was Christ. He said, “Well, that’s the Angels, you know. That’s how they look and they were materializing themselves.” And then one day God said, “You’re looking at it from the wrong angle. You’re only knowing in part, you’re only seeing in part, but when you get the right angle, you will see the whole thing you are supposed to see.” And when he turned it to the right, it was Christ in the form of the Head.
Watch the Prophet’s life, from the Pillar of Fire coming through the window over the newborn baby on April the 6th 1909, 5 a.m. in the morning, to Seven Angels in the form of a Head – Christ coming, the last form, the Supreme Authority, to show He is God Himself. He is everything in the form of the Headship, to show that the Bride has been called and is being made ready.
And Bro. Branham preached Uniting Time And Sign [1963-0818 –Ed.], Invisible Union [1965-1125 –Ed.] showing to us, when this comes and He lifts Her off, the plan of Redemption for Adam and Eve, Christ and the Bride, is complete. And as She nears the Headstone, She’s coming in His Own image. She will be a Super Race, a Super Church. She knows it is He in Her.
Now we’ve come back to what Bro. Ever was saying. It’s not just what time, and this and that. After we see the time and season, we have to look in our lives.
First Seal, White Horse – realm of religion. That Rider started to ride from Genesis and goes all the way to Revelation. When He comes to Revelation, we have a one world religion. He went forth conquering and to conquer: conquering Jews, conquering Islam, conquering Hindus, conquering Buddhists; not just Christians; conquering all of them to make a one world religion.
Second Seal, Red Horse. Blood was shed when Cain killed Abel. After the bride was deceived under the First Seal, Eve, (the Serpent beguiled her) then the two vines. Then Cain killed Abel; war and bloodshed. Then it rides all the way. Lamech invented the sword; first time you see sword in the Bible, Lamech, when Cain had changed the world from agriculture to industry. And industrial power is where the bombs, all these things came from. It produced the weapons (that’s right) so you can fight for resources to control economics. That Second Seal goes all the way to the realm of politics, the military power: to seize, to kill and possess. We came to a one world government.
And when that Black Horse began to ride all the way to the end, we came to a one world economy in the Bible because nobody could buy or sell except they have the mark.
And then your Fourth Seal unites the whole world. That’s right. A global village, the information revolution. From agriculture to industry, to information where they could weaponize space when the earth was filled with violence. Violence is war. Woe, woe. God said, “Man has corrupted the earth. Violence has filled the earth.
Now the end of all flesh is coming.” Woe, woe. Third Woe, Armageddon – that antediluvian civilization passed away. So there were three woes back there.
Then you could go to Genesis 14 to 19, you have three woes in the days of Lot. And we are living in the days of Lot again: “As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be.”
First war: fighting for resources. Second war: Abraham was going for his kinsman to save him from complete annihilation from the Gentile powers, and he brought back his kinsman.
What is the big thing about World War II? God saved the Jews from complete annihilation. Hitler had a plan – ‘the final solution’. It was the Catholic Church working through the dictators, who let loose the power. That’s right. And the Third Woe… The Second Woe is past. The Third Woe: the Gentile world burns with fire; turns to ashes.
And after World War II… What was the great thing after the Second Woe? Genesis 14, Melchisedec came down. Heaven is opened. The Angel appeared to the Prophet after World War II. An Eternal Man from Heaven came down. Hallelujah! And Abraham began to understand ‘epiphaneia’, ‘theophany’, ‘the appearing of a Man’; that there is another civilization. From that time he began to look for a City Whose Builder and Maker is God.
Then at the end of the Pentecostal Age… The Pentecostals were from 1906 to 1909. In three years they organized. In 1946 after World War II, a one man move at the end of the Pentecostal Age. After World War II with the advancement of science, they became the Laodiceans. They got rich and increased with goods – big multimillion dollar buildings, went into politics. They came into Sodom.
But during that time, the Angels were coming with the Mysteries to Abraham before the Gentile world was burnt with fire between the Second Woe and the Third Woe. The Son of Man, the same Melchisedec in human flesh, was coming down to open the Mysteries; coming down as the Judge of all the earth in the investigation judgment.
Few things; I trust they made sense. But Son of Man’s ministry is always Shout, Voice and Trump. Shout, Voice and Trump started in Genesis 1 as I showed you and goes all way. It is not a random thing.
I didn’t bother to go back on St. John 11: “The Master is here and calleth for you” – a threefold secret. St. John has twenty-one chapters. John started with Elohim Who became Melchisedec, Who became Jesus. St. John 3, the New Birth. You don’t find it in any other gospel. St. John 14, the theophany: “In My Father’s house are many mansions.” St. John 20, the glorified body: Jesus moved through the clothing; the whole mystery. And chapter 11 ties the first ten chapters and the last ten chapters and that is the threefold mystery of the Coming of the Lord. That’s right.
So all of that is free. God bless you all.
