I have some things I want to deal with which the prophetic preachers out there completely overlook. They look at 1st Thessalonians 5th and say it has nothing to do with the rapture, because they do not believe the rapture will come before the tribulation…

Bro. Allen ended the last edition in Romans 8 speaking about how we are joint heirs with Christ, and also looking at the 144,000. He is picking up here where he left off.

I want to go into something a little different than what I was on this last message. Let me go to Revelation 10:1. “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud…

Bro. Allen ended the last edition of The Contender in the book of Joshua. Joshua challenged the children of Israel to serve God and to enter a covenant with him. Joshua then raised up a stone pillar as a witness of their promise to continue to serve God. Bro. Allen is finishing up looking at the time of Joshua before moving on to look at something the Lord revealed to him concerning Armageddon and the 144,000.

Paul has been speaking of the Holy Ghost: “From whom the whole body fitly joined together.” Fitly, that is a word that carpenters will recognize. If something does not fit, then it is either in the wrong place or it is not cut right…

I was thinking about the Eternal Age and the things that we know about it. We know that the Bride will never relinquish all her authority. Bro. Jackson taught after the thousand-year millennium is over and the eternal age begins, Jesus will become our elder brother and things will revert to what it was like in the Garden of Eden…

I believe with all my heart God is winding things up and getting His church ready to go. I know a lot of what I am saying in this edition and the past one does not have a lot to do with my title subject. But I am going through time so we can understand the relevance of the time we live in, and to understand the judgment that will come when God stops extending mercy to lost mankind. We are in a time when we can see the things spoken of by God come to pass. I can do nothing but praise Him for His wonderful care and kindness that enables us to understand what is happening in the world today. It is getting ready for the time of God’s judgment…

I have some additional scriptures I want to review in connection with this topic. I also want to go back over some of the things I have already looked at. I want to get everything right, I do not want to leave anything that is not tied down.

We are living in a time when evil is rampant. Satan is getting people ready to accept whatever he would dish out to them. Only the saints of God will be able to escape it, and that is not many. I do not want to think about it too much, but God knows what people deserve. Because the wicked do deserve punishment. There are good people, and there are rotten people. Nothing can help the wicked escape what is coming except Jesus Christ…

In the last edition Bro. Allen began to leave his title subject and started to review topics which have been attacked by critics. He finished by looking into Isaiah 4, and in this edition, he picks up looking at the Third Day of Hosea 6 before returning to his subject of Hell Is Not Eternal.

In the last edition of The Contender, Bro. Allen ended reviewing the circumstances present on the earth when the wicked are judged at the return of Christ. In this edition he picks up looking at Christ’s descent to hell after his crucifixion before looking at the parable of Lazarus and the rich man.

In the last edition Bro. Allen examined the conditions that will be present on the earth at the end of the tribulation period when Christ returns to earth. In this edition he starts by looking at the events leading up to the return of Christ, and the judgement of the wicked on earth at the time of his return.

In the last edition, Bro. Allen reviewed scriptures showing that God created hell for the punishment of the fallen angels because they had corrupted the first creation that God had placed on the earth. In this edition, he continues explaining how Satan perverted creation a second time, much the same way that he had perverted the first creation.

The subject I am going to approach in this message is an unusual subject. I have felt to go over this subject for the last few weeks. I remember the first time I ever heard anything like this was in 1961 when Bro. Branham had just preached a sermon where he explained there is no eternal life in hell.

In the last edition Bro. Allen began to leave his topic of Revelation 10. In this edition he closes out the topic by looking at events that began to transpire in the United States following the election of Donald Trump…

Today, I believe that the two prophets are on the scene, they are well and are being acquainted with the conditions of the world without really realizing the call that is upon their lives. I doubt that they really know that now, but they will know it when the time comes. I do not want to crowd things in to mess up the picture. We know there is an order to these events…

The rapture is very close to us. You may say, “Well Paul thought it was close in his day.” Paul did not know the end of it. Then he began to look at the rapture in a different way when he was getting ready to depart from this world. He began to see that it was in the future. In Thessalonians 4:1, he spoke believing he would still be alive. But then when you get to 2^ndTimothy…,

In the last edition, Bro. Allen was going over the scriptures which let us see the rapture of the Bride of Christ will come before the tribulation begins. We are picking up now where he left off. In my last message I touched on something that may not seem to be a part of the message, but really it is. I am looking at the rapture. I have some more scriptures I will go over on this topic. I was thinking about something I heard this week on the television. There was a certain program that came on and Jonathan Cahn was on it. He was talking about a Jewish wedding which is typed in Jesus’ illustration about the marriage supper. As we look at that, I thought I would deal with that a little bit, from the scriptures, to see what is promised for the saints of God in this hour. I am going to start my reading in Matthew 25…

I want to show you this picture of the temple again. Now the water will come out of the temple area, by the side of the eastern door. Then it goes out and will flow down into the Kidron Valley. After you leave the temple area, there will be a cavern in there. The water will flow into that cavern, which it is very shallow at first, but it is a big stream. It will be very swift. Then it will go down into the valley, it mentions a thousand cubits, which will be fifteen hundred feet. Then it is getting deeper the further you get from the temple

In the last edition, Bro Allen began to look beyond Revelation 10 as he went into Ezekiel 45 to look at the working of the priesthood of the temple during the Millennium. He is still reading from the Lamsa translation of the bible. We are picking up where he left off.

I have really gone beyond Revelation 10 now, and I have added a subtitle. Really, I am looking at the Millennium and the Eternal Age now. We are going to look back into the 45^th chapter Ezekiel again. I touched on it a little bit, but we are going to look at the measurements again. Ezekiel 45, 1^st verse.

We live in a special time, and I feel we are in a special place. We are looking at a picture of the sanctuary of the temple and the Holy of Holies. We are inching toward something I believe is getting ready to take place. I feel we need this knowledge. Two prophets are going to come on the scene. Revelation 11:1 talks about measuring the temple and altar and them that worship therein: there is a time just ahead of us when that will be fulfilled. They will measure the part of the temple that is built. God is working progressively toward that very time, that we may be able to look at scriptures and see the time of the two prophets and what they will face, and how much they are going to be able to see in that time.

In our last edition, Bro. Allen began reviewing the dimensions of the Temple Mount as it will be in the millennium. We are picking up where he left off as he continues looking at the dimension and design of the Holy Temple and the city of Jerusalem during the millennium.

According to some of the measurements we read in the book of Ezekiel, we can see that the temple is going to be a tremendous place. The blessings of God are going to be upon Israel in that day, which is going to help finance the construction and beautify the place….[Read More]

I am continuing my message looking at Revelation chapter 10. It has been the hub of this message as we look at the many different scriptures that relate to Revelation 10. I want to continue on with that, but first I wanted to share with you about the trip we took last week…

I was thinking about the scripture I had mentioned in the last sermon, Luke 17:30. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. We know this came about as he was revealed through a message, and it was a message that was to bring the Bride together…

We have come together to worship in spirit and in truth. A lot of people claim they have the spirit, but they have no truth. If you could put spirit and truth in human form, which you cannot, they would be walking hand in hand, because the truth is the living word…

I could not think of any better title for this message than “Revelation 10”, because that is what it is all about. That is going to be the hub of everything I have to say…

This is the last few words of July Issue. When you start out to be something you were not ordained to be, there is always a problem. You can always get followers. I am not after followers. I am after truth…

Jesus said, I will come to you. That is the Spirit inside Him. Jesus is not out to meet everyone that prays, but the Comforter He said He would give is that Comforter: the Holy Ghost that we now have in us…

As I was talking this morning about a few things, it was a few weeks ago Farrakhan was on television, he was making a speech. He said we need to kill them that kill us…

The saying is: Freedom is not free. It does cost something for us to really have freedom. This country has been a land of  freedom up until the last few years…

Brother Allen was talking about the Moses and Elijah prophets that will prophesy in the street s of Jerusalem for three and a half years; and he was saying that they will not be preachers; but prophets, so we pick up right where he was saying: I believe that they are right now…

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Now we get into something here…

“But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, (The only thing that is still there is ruins. There was never another city built back. All you see there, is just ruins of days gone by.) which are exalted unto heaven, (a thriving city, a city where some of the disciples lived…

I have been on this message: this makes part 4, getting ready for the rapture. I started at the beginning of the week. It has had a great success. I know at the beginning of it as we began to put things on the internet, it reached South Africa…

We see things that are going on now, and it lets us know that we are in that time that we have been looking forward to. There are scriptures  being discussed and preached about; by men who might say I don’t know what I am talking about, but I have to say: They do know what they are talking about…

On the News this afternoon: there is a comet out there somewhere, they do not know where it is, but if it hit New York, there would be no more New York. Think of that! If it would hit the heart of this country, it would kill everything close to it. There is a place in Arizona, where we went a few years back, and where a piece of a comet about forty five feet long; hit the earth and made a mushroom three quarters of a mile wide, and a hundred yards deep. That is what it is now. The last big one that hit in Siberia, where there is hardly any population, it laid trees down like sticks, for miles and miles. One hit a glancing blow to Iceland, and they said, if it had come straight down, it would have wiped it out. That was three or four years ago. What does the Bible say? The stars of heaven shall fall to the earth. God has enough junk out there, pieces of rock, granite and so forth. It will come through the sky about forty thousand miles an hour. There will never be an atomic bomb that has that kind of power. We are in the last days saints! We need not expect everything to get back like t used to be. We are fast entering into the days like Genesis, chapter 6 speaks of, the way it was before the flood of Noah’s day, when every thought of man’s heart was only evil continually.

I pray that this message will be of help: and especially that it be of understanding to all.”If, ye serve strange gods, then He will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that He hath done you good.” Some might say, Oh, that is all under the Law. The Law had nothing to do with that. “And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the Lord.” That was the answer he was looking for. He wanted to challenge them. I challenge your faith tonight. I also challenge my faith. As I read there in the 3rd chapter of 1st Corinthians this morning, we are workers together with God, God’s husbandry. We are God’s building. Then he talks about us being the temple of God, a place for God to dwell in. What do we have for Him to dwell in? There is the song, prepare the dwelling place. Only a holy God can dwell in these vessels that we have presented unto Him in holiness and true righteousness. “And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the Lord, to serve Him. And they said, We are witnesses.”

We are still on the same subject; Time is Running Out. What you see in America today, is not something new: the Bible teaches us that nothing is new under heaven. It has always been here; since the fall of man, and it never has left. The fall brought two things. It brought the sons of God and it brought the sons of the evil one. By the time you are a thousand years into it, by the time Enoch comes along, you have already got this mix of serpent seed and the sons of God. Why would God have taken his servant off the scene; the seventh from Adam?

I HAVE ASKED BROTHER DAVID TO READ GEORGE WASHINGTON’S VISION; BEFORE I START ON WHAT I HAVE TO SAY THIS MORNING; SO I ASK THAT EVERYONE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AS OUR BROTHER READS THIS.

It is good to be back home. ( after Israel trip) This is home, but we did appreciate the trip the Lord allowed us to take, to be able to be in the land which soon we are going to be seeing the hand of God move for. I saw this morning, when they were talking to Netanyahu on the News, that they were questioning him about the Iran peace deal our negotiators have made. He did not go for it, and I did not either. They kept questioning him; they would bring a question around concerning what he thought about what Obama had done, then they would go another direction with it: trying to get him to say something against Obama, but he never did take up for him and he let them know it was a bad deal. I thank the Lord for that.

We praise the Lord for His wonderful goodness, for the things He has provided for us in the hour we are living in. I am continuing on this subject; . I have been on. because of the great interest that saints have expressed to me since I started on it…

We are still on the same message, so let me say again, With the voice together shall they sing. This is referring to the God Called Ministry, but as I am talking, I am talking about all of us singing together, We sing together, and when we do, we lift up our voices together, that is the beauty of it…

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions.” We are not looking at buildings. Does not the Bible say that we are the temple of God? This is talking about the new Jerusalem…

Philip has said, Lord, show us the Father, and Jesus answered him, and that is where we are starting. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

Jesus spent a lot of time talking about his Father much of the time. Why would He talk and pray to the Father if He was the Father? That is a greater mystery to me. He prays to the Father, so I ask you, why would He pray to the Father if He is the Father? That makes no sense at all…

The last days are what we are living in, we do not have another generation to be able to say this is the last generation coming up. No, it is already here. The scripture tells us, concerning the fig tree and the trees of the field, Luke 21, how it would be…

When the pope was over there the other day, he called it Palestine. He stood on the other side of the wall there, which is the wailing wall, and standing on the other side of it, while he was on the Palestinian side, he called it Palestine…

My subject is the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. God does not make mistakes. It is we mortals that make mistakes, not God. He said it would rain upon the just and upon the unjust. We know the rain can bring forth many things. It brings forth growth…

I am going to be dealing with the gifts, but I first want to deal with the ministry today. In chapter 12 of 1st Corinthians, I will get to that later, but in this he lists the different gifts. When he listed them, he listed three of the ministry along with the gifts. He said apostles, prophets and teachers, I believe that is the way it was…

We will just start this by saying, wheresoever the fresh Word of God is being presented, there is where the eagles (God’s true children) will be gathered together. These people that think they are going to get by without any further revelation, they are sunk…

When I first started this message, there were only three people that knew what I was going to preach about. As far as I know there was not anyone else, if there was, then forgive me, but the thing about it is, there was a prophecy that came forth by Bro. David North that morning, concerning that…

We have a lot of good scriptures here, and some good evidence of the hour we are living in. We want to honor what the Lord has given us and always lift His name in praise and worship, because He is the one to be lifted up and praised…

I am starting another subject this morning, which I feel could be one of the most important subjects I have ever preached on. I believe we have indications by the Word, that we are living in the last days, and that we are getting very close to that time when the Gentile age shall wrap up…

Peter preached his message to those Jews that day, and they were cut to their hearts. Men and brethren, what must we do? He said, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” I believe the Holy Ghost fell on them that day. I am saying to you now, do what you can now to get your heart right with God…

WE ARE JUST CONTINUING ON FROM WHERE THE NOVEMBER ISSUE LEFT OFF The church world is so out of order today, they would not know how to get back to proper conduct in a worship service. I remember when a preacher or two started wearing blue jeans, their clothes did not coordinate with anything, but now it is like that almost everywhere. It is almost a miracle, to see a preacher on television that is dressed right…

That 47th verse, of Luke 24, says, and that repentance and remission of sins, not sin, sins. That is the things that you have committed in your human body. It may be in your mind, it may be things you have done in your body. Baptism is the important thing, in order for you to be connected unto the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Bridegroom. When you are baptized in His name, and then receive the Holy Ghost, you then become a part of the Bride of Jesus Christ as you produce fruit of the Spirit.

You can see that the waters are getting deeper because it has slowed down. “Afterward he measured a thousand; (that is another eighteen hundred feet) and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.”

Let me tell you what kind of crown you will have. 1st Corinthians 9:25 says we will have an incorruptible crown. Let us read that. Start in verse 24. “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?

This is a subject I want to deal with, and it has a question at the end of it. Sometimes we have traditions that we have lived by, that are not biblical at all. It is a saying that has been passed down and it is put in songs and things, to the point where we think we live by them. Sometimes they are not scriptural, but they become a part of scriptural thinking. I know there have been things on television this week concerning the Catholic Church and the denominational world, which has been hid from people…

We are just continuing on with this grace message. Peter could have taken what Jesus said, the wrong way when Jesus said, “If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me,” but he didn’t. He acknowledged it. I have another scripture today. These things are not for our destruction…

You everyone know how the devil likes to bring up stuff. Well, you always accuse me, no, it is the devil accusing you of somebody letting them use them. I am so glad that God forgives and then forgets…

I have one scripture tonight, that I had Bro. David add on to this list. I thought of it this afternoon, but I did not know if it would be that easy to find, so I thought I would just quote it and go on from there….

Today, as we are looking to the Lord for His love and grace, and for the kindness He shows us, let us be mindful, that the Bible says grow in grace. How do you do that? I thought grace was just grace. But Peter said to grow in grace, and he added something to that…

God had a plan from the foundation of the world. It was not for the mighty or the strong. It was for those of faith, that would willingly follow the truth…

We can carry burdens, sometimes people will heap upon us until it becomes a health problem. There are people that like to see you go through things. I am not talking about saints of God, because they will stand with you…

I know I have said some things that may seem hard to some, but as I said, I am not trying to make anybody feel uncomfortable, I just want us to be right in the sight of God. We are not just playing church: we are learning from the Word of God…

We have come through another year, and it has been a year of promise. We are looking to another year for a year of promise, but not as the government would like to make you think. How can a government really survive, that is so down on the little nation of Israel?

“O death, where is thy sting? (Death, where is thy hurt? Death is a hurtful thing to us now. We weep, we cry, we are in misery over it.) O grave, where is thy victory?” Brothers and sisters, when that change comes, we will have a new body.“The sting of death is sin; (that is what caused it) and the strength of sin is the law…

While they are writing down the scriptures I will say this, The sisters sang “The Lighthouse” this morning. I remember when they used to sing that with Bro. David Brumley, he has been gone for more than six years now. But whenever they sing it, I think of him and what he helped to keep together in East Chicago. I remember three years ago when the group of preachers really protested the stand I had taken on the third day…

As we see God putting this great body together, it is just like a puzzle to the world, but it is not a puzzle to us. That is because we know what is ahead by the scriptures. There is no use of saying I don’t know, we do know. We don’t know everything that is to come between now and the end, but we do know what is just ahead. We thank the Lord for revealing His Word to us. I have an unusual scripture to read and an unusual subject this morning. It is something that I am starting on new, I don’t know how long it will last, maybe one service, or two services, or like some of the rest of them, thirty some.

I have a couple of new scriptures that I want to deal with today. I am not even getting to the ones I have listed here; but I hope to do so before this message is over. I saw something last night: that was very interesting; a Messianic rabbi, that had a man on with him that was acquainted with this preacher: who back in the 1990’s, I think he had less than one hundred people in his congregation then; but somebody prophesied to him; that he would speak to Netanyahu, and that he would warn him not to give up land.

You can find various opinions about the right and wrong of some worship practices, so I want to help you look at time. I want to remind some of the Pentecostal’s who think speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost, that it was not always like that…

I have been asked many questions down through the years, and I have tried never to offend anyone that believes in the old Pentecostal evidence of speaking in tongues. I have felt that one of these days God would give me a message, and I would not just be using Acts 2:4, but I would be using a lot more than that…

THIS IS THE THIRD AND FOURTH MESSAGE BROTHER JACKSON PREACHED ON THIS VERY ENLIGHTENING SUBJECT. HE DEALS WITH GOD’S FOREKNOWLEDGE, ELECTION, PREDESTINATION, SECURITY OF THE TRUE BELIEVER AND MUCH MORE, SO WE WILL GET RIGHT INTO IT.

I AM GOING INTO A MESSAGE TODAY, AND I DO NOT EVEN LIKE TO THINK ABOUT IT, BECAUSE I KNOW I WILL BE SAYING SOME THINGS AND BRINGING OUT SOME POINTS THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE SOME OF YOU FEEL BAD. I AM NOT DOING IT FOR THAT REASON: I AM DEALING WITH IT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR IT…

About two weeks ago there was one of the big leaders of the Hamas movement found, he had been killed. Now the Hamas and PA together, have vowed revenge against Israel and Jewish targets. When they say that, that means there is no way that the United States or Canada can escape it…

Brothers and sisters: True holiness is more than just a shell that we put on. True holiness is perfected, when you are inside, what you appear to be on the outside, if what you appear to be on the outside is in harmony with God’s principles of righteousness..

I want to take my text today out of Matthew, chapter 4, starting with the 12th verse. We know that Jesus came upon the scene two thousand years ago. He came to a nation that was supposed to be a religious people, but as it turned out, religion was all most of them had…

These are words the apostle Paul wrote in this letter two thousand years ago, and he was writing to a Gentile congregation of people. We are in the 2nd chapter. The Corinthians were Greek people. It is a shame that even our church world today has lost sight of what Paul was saying here. Let us read the 9th verse. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him…

I am faced with a message, I don’t feel good about in my heart. But I am compelled to deal with it. Some who are not familiar without faith might say, I have never been in a church that does things like that…

THERE ARE STILL MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT YET CONVINCED THAT PROPER WATER BAPTISM IS ALWAYS ADMINISTERED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, SO TODAY, I AM GOING TO DEAL WITH THAT SUBJECT. I AM GOING TO SAY THIS AT THIS TIME, THE MESSAGE TODAY IS MAINLY BECAUSE OF A REQUEST FOR A FRIEND IN NEWFOUNDLAND. HE WROTE A NOTE THAT I AM GOING TO READ TO YOU. IT WILL TELL MORE OR LESS WHAT THE DENOMINATIONAL WORLD HAS DECIDED ABOUT WATER BAPTISM.

This is turning into quite a lengthy subject, but there are yet quite a few points we need to cover while we are dealing with it. I am doing my best, by the grace of God, to present these prophecies in a way that will be meaningful to everyone and I pray that somewhere…

This is a message I preach basically to try to address the Jewish people. Our Contender paper is going into Israel now. I want to say to the Jewish people that might have the opportunity to hear this, You might question a Gentile’s mind of having the ability to know anything about the prophetic picture in the Bible…

e are a people that believe very strongly that we are living in the last days of time. There are too many written scriptures in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, that show us that the human race of people on the earth today are facing a point in time that is destined to bring about drastic changes…

Brothers and sisters, I pray that in our message today, we can say something that will help encourage you. Through the years of time there were many things spoken by the Old Testament prophets, prophesied here and there, and many of those things were prophesied in a certain setting that did not necessarily give you a full, or complete picture of what was going on or how that might be brought about…

When you are dealing with one sovereign God, you are dealing with one sovereign mind that did all the designing Himself, all the planning, and everything. But when He brought the Son into existence, it is by the Son and through the Son, He has been redeeming and reconciling something back to Himself…

We are starting this message in Genesis and we will touch Revelation also before we are finished. Turn with me to Genesis chapter 1. The trinitarians have three scriptures here in Genesis they like to play on…

I remember when Bro. William Branham preached the seals. Shortly after the seals were preached he said, I plan to bring a message on the trumpets next, but when the time came he said the Lord told me it is not time…

We have titled this, “Abominations Bring Tribulations,” and by the help of God, I believe we can learn some things the church world is missing completely. The word abominations is spoken of in Daniel in different places, but I want to emphasize the point, that there are three times the abomination that bringeth desolation is spoken of specifically…

This is a message that God has put in my heart. I had this experience, and I am not going to relate a whole lot about the experience because it is one of those kind that is just very unusual…

Manners and upright principals, they have lost entirely. They have become arrogant and proud, self sufficient and selfish. We are no longer a society that can speak of brotherhood with respect for man and for mankind. At least that is what it is turning into. God is getting just about enough of this scene….

The Advent teaching was started in the years 1831 to 1844 by a Baptist man by the name of William Miller. None of the denominational people at that time, had ever talked about the urgency that man could be approaching the period of time of the soon coming of Christ…

Bro. Jackson ended the last message looking at the completion of redemption at the enteral day. We are picking up where he left off…

There are certain things in the scriptures that I go to bed with them on my mind, I get up with them on my mind. They never leave my mind. They are there constantly, so by the help of the Lord, I want to deal with a little message that I will title, “Salvation Is By Faith.”

WHEN WE ENDED OUR MAY ISSUE, BROTHER JACKSON WAS DESCRIBING THE ERA OF TIME WHEN KNOWLEDGE HAD BEEN INCREASED, FULFILLING THE PROPHECIES IN GOD’S WORD. WE WILL TAKE UP RIGHT THERE AND CONTINUE ON WITH THIS MESSAGE ON SCRIPTURAL DIAGNOSIS.

We will pick up Brother Jackson’s thought right where we stopped in our April issue. He was speaking of the miracle war which is soon to come, which is when Israel takes back all the land God gave to Abraham’s descendants through his son Isaac…

In 1968 when we were on a plane going to Israel, we were all sitting in our seats talking about what our expectations were, how we were eager to see the land and travel where the prophets of old had been…

Sometimes it is necessary to sort of dramatize a subject and put it in a time frame that will bring our focus to bear on it. The one we are on today, to me, is an important message. My title is “Scriptural Diagnosis.”

This subject is on the foolish virgins. I might hit the highlight of this letter as the question is asked. I realize you have heard me preach it before, but many have not….

I greet each of you in the name of the Lord, and ask that He help me as I continue on with this message I thank the Lord for His greatness and His goodness. This morning, I have the testimony here, which you will find in the Psalms, “Who forgive all our iniquities and healeth all our diseases.”

“Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness…

A lot can be said about unity, but do people know what it really is? How will it affect me? What does it do for me? Unity is not a one man idea. Everybody has got to be able to see a season of time that pertains to them, whether man or woman…

Today is the first time I have ever stood to say some of the things I am going to say. There is definitely a time factor that we are faced with; and it is ordained of God. That is this, God is going to have some people that He has put together in unity from believers all over the world…

There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, only one God and Father of all, who is above all, and in you all. But in the 11th verse of the 4th chapter it says, “And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints.”

I want to title this message “The Body of Christ.” There are a lot of things being propagated today about the body of Christ, which is the Church, the Bride, this and that, so I want us to take a scriptural look at what the body of Christ really is. It makes you wonder sometimes, what people think the body of Christ is and what they think it should be like…

Our subject today, is “Showdown at Sundown.” It takes place at the end of the week of Daniel. We are going to be dealing mainly with the short interval of time right in here, in the time leading up to the last week of Daniel…

When this thing does break, there will be some things taking place in the world, especially in the secular world around you, that you are never going to think could possibly be a fact, unless you understand what this Bible lays out for us. I heard it said yesterday morning, There has been a lot of anti-Semitism in France and Europe…

As we continue on with this message, I want to explain the two drawings we have up here. This one is as we see Israel today, established by the U.N. years ago. I have to say, Little did the world, and little did preachers, even I, realize how the word of God runs so true and parallel to world conditions, as we come toward the end time…

Some of you may be wondering what I will speak on today: Well there have been a few things said in recent days concerning what I have said about 2004 ½. I never did say you would be gone in the rapture by 2004 ½. I really think that is all some people listened to it for. I told you how to look at certain things that would transpire, things that would lead to certain other things, which actually means, let us take everything into accountability in the time ahead of us…

We are not here to play like Christians: We are here to learn to conduct ourselves the way God expects of His children. When God saved my soul fifty some years ago, I purposed to live for Him as He gave me grace to do so. There are three kind of people in this world…

In this message you will find Bro. Jackson dealing with things that needed to be corrected. He called the names of of the some of the ones that had been going from here to who knows where, giving their own opinions about things and causing feelings of discontentment…

Zechariah wrote that a day would could when it would be neither clear nor dark. Are you aware of the fact the day he wrote about is fast approaching? We have seen a great right in this generation…

As I stand here today and make remarks like this, please, I want you to know I am not going to walk back and say, Hey you, get out of here, you are not this and you are not that. God never called me to do that. He called me to preach and stand for the truth of His Word…

We both saw our parents on both sides give their hearts to the Lord in the light of the revelation we stand for. Well Bro. Jackson, are they in the Bride?

Instead of God giving them revelation of His word, He is blinding those who have no love for the truth. They are too set on the practice of keeping up on worldly styles and being like everyone else they see on the streets and on TV…

AS WE HAVE BEEN DOING LATELY, WE ARE AGAIN STARTING THIS ISSUE WITH THE LAST FEW WORDS OF OUR LAST ISSUE, WITH BRO. JACKSON SPEAKING OF DENOMINATIONAL FELLOWSHIPS WORLD WIDE, HOW THE ANTICHRIST HAS ACHIEVED HIS PURPOSE IN THEM…

OUR MAY ISSUE ENDED WITH BRO. JACKSON SPEAKING OF THE DENOMINATIONS THAT WERE FORMED FROM THE TRUTH GOD HAD REVEALED TO THE MEN WHO WERE USED OF GOD IN THE REFORMATION, AND HOW THEY HAD JUST RESTED ON THAT ONE PARTICULAR REVEALED TRUTH AND NEVER MOVED ON WITH GOD BEYOND THAT, SO WE WILL INSERT THE LAST FEW LINES OF OUR LAST ISSUE, TO PICK UP THE THOUGHT AND CONTINUE ON…

WE ARE CONTINUING ON WITH THE SEALS MESSAGE, SO WE WILL PRINT THE LAST TWO SENTENCES FROM THE APRIL ISSUE, AND CONTINUE ON FROM THERE, AS WE ARE DEALING WITH THE LITTLE HORN DANIEL SAW RISING UP AMONG THE FIRST TEN HORNS…

IN DEALING WITH THESE SEALS, IT IS HARD TO GET BEYOND THE WHITE HORSE RIDER OF THE FIRST ONE, BECAUSE THAT SPIRIT OF DECEPTION HAS CARRIED RIGHT ON THROUGH TIME AND IS STILL JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS IT EVER HAS BEEN…

WE ENDED THE JANUARY ISSUE DEALING WITH HOW THE CHURCH ASSEMBLY IN ROME ITALY GOT STARTED. WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THERE WERE JEWS FROM ROME IN JERUSALEM TO OBSERVE A FEAST DAY, WHEN THE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DISCIPLES CAME OUT OF THAT UPPER ROOM INTO THE STREETS OF THE CITY SPEAKING IN TONGUES AND GLORIFYING GOD, AFTER THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THE UPPER ROOM THAT DAY. THEREFORE WE WILL INSERT A FEW OF THE LAST LINES FROM OUR JANUARY ISSUE, TO GET STARTED ON THIS ISSUE…

THROUGH THE YEARS I HAVE PREACHED ON THE SEALS OF CHAPTER 6, IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, BUT TODAY I WANT TO START WITH THE FIRST SEAL AND GO RIGHT ON THROUGH. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR EVERYONE WHO IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COMING OF THE LORD, TO SET THEIR GOAL IN THE REMAINING TIME WE HAVE LEFT TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THESE SEALS ACTUALLY PERTAIN TO. IT IS ONE THING JUST TO SKIM OVER THEM AND MAKE A FEW REMARKS, BUT WHAT WE EVERYONE NEED TO DO, IS MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THEY PERTAIN TO AND HOW SOCIETY IN THAT SPECIFIC TIME IS IMPACTED. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO COVER THESE SCRIPTURES THE WAY I FEEL LED TO, BUT WE WILL TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS IS NEEDED TO MAKE EVERYTHING AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE, SO PRAY FOR ME AS WE BEGIN TO LOOK INTO THEM, THAT I MAY HAVE THE LEADING OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD THE ENTIRE TIME IT TAKES TO COVER THEM.

When men will just take something Bro. William Branham said, and use it like some of them have, they present an image of total ignorance, spiritually speaking. Bro. William Branham had a right to read something out of a book and use it for a little illustration…

There is going to be gifts of the Spirit in the true Church of the living God; dreams, visions and all the rest of the gifts we read about in the New Testament. It is true right now, that God is working by His Spirit to get us separated from all the confusion of past traditions we have carried with us from denominational assemblies…

There is going to be a live ministry as the headship of the Bride of Christ, and they are going to exalt Bro. William Branham in the proper way, respecting him and the things he preached, but this entire thing is going to come to its climax…

God sent that man to turn a people back to His (God’s) Word, to become a supernatural Church; not a bunch of dead people, holding quotes, quotes, quotes. You who are called to be in the bride, are to be a reproduction of the same kind of people that knew what it was to talk to a true and living God…

I WANT TO SPEAK ON SOMETHING IN THIS MESSAGE, THAT HAS BEEN ON MY HEART FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE A GREAT DESIRE, THAT WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD, TO BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE MIND OF MANY WHO SEE IN THE SCRIPTURES, INSTANCES WHERE THE WRITER SPEAKS OF A MYSTERY…

THIS MESSAGE IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFERENT THAN MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE DEALT WITH IN THE PAST, BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW FOR SURE WHAT PUTTING ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST REALLY PERTAINS TO. WE ARE ADMONISHED IN THE SCRIPTURES TO DO THAT, SO WE NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO GO ABOUT IT…

Let us not just sit back taking things for granted, like, Well this is just another day like all the others. No. That is not true: Gentiles are standing at the end of the time God has allotted to them. Very soon Jesus will step forth from the mercy seat and there will be no more intercession for anyone: If you have failed to take a stand for God in the time He has allotted, you have a very grim future ahead of you…

My message today has a strange title, “Prelude to the Second Coming of Christ.” What does the word prelude mean? Something that must take place first before the actual event. It is a preface, it can be an opening, and it can be an introductory to events that will follow…

AS WE CONTINUE ON WITH THIS MESSAGE, LET ME SAY ONCE AGAIN, GOD IS THE FINAL JUDGE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE BELIEVES AND DESIRES TO HOLD ON TO. WE ARE LIVING IN AN HOUR WHEN GOD IS GOING TO REVEAL THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SETTLED IT IN THEIR HEART’S TO WALK WITH HIM IN TRUTH AT ANY COST, SO LET US LAY ASIDE OUR TRADITIONAL IDEAS AND TEACHINGS, AND OPEN UP TO WHAT GOD DESIRES TO REVEAL TO US IN THESE CLOSING HOURS OF GENTILE TIME. HE HAS A MINISTRY ON THE SCENE THAT HE IS GOING TO WORK THROUGH; AND THAT MINISTRY WILL BE STANDING FOR THE REVEALED TRUTH IN THIS HOUR OF FINAL PREPARATION OF THE BRIDE OF JESUS CHRIST. NONE OF THESE HAND-ME-DOWN DENOMINATIONAL TRADITIONS WILL HAVE ANY PLACE IN THIS FINAL STAGE OF DRESSING UP IN PROPER ATTIRE FOR THE OCCASION WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO.

IT SEEMS NECESSARY AT A TIME SUCH AS THIS, TO TRY TO ESTABLISH IN THE MIND OF TRUE BELIEVERS, EXACTLY WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY ABOUT CERTAIN CONTROVERSIAL MATTERS THAT HAVE PERMEATED THE RANKS OF CHRISTIANITY. I JUST ASK THAT YOU WOULD PRAY FOR ME AS I GO INTO THIS SUBJECT, BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY DESIRE OR PURPOSE JUST TO HURT OR DEGRADE THOSE WHOM I BELIEVE TO BE IN ERROR. MY EARNEST DESIRE, IS THAT EVERY PERSON WHO CLAIMS TO BE CALLED TO THE MINISTRY, WILL GIVE FIRST PLACE TO THE VINDICATED WORD OF GOD, EVEN AT THE COST OF HAVING TO SAY, “I WAS WRONG!” GOD IS THE FINAL JUDGE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE BELIEVES AND DESIRES TO HOLD ON TO. WE ARE LIVING IN AN HOUR WHEN GOD IS GOING TO REVEAL THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SETTLED IT IN THEIR HEART’S TO WALK WITH HIM AT ANY COST, SO LET US LAY ASIDE OUR TRADITIONAL IDEAS AND TEACHINGS, AND OPEN UP TO WHAT GOD DESIRES TO REVEAL TO US IN THESE CLOSING HOURS OF GENTILE TIME.

When it looked like Polycarp was not going to die, one man picked up a sword and pierced his side: blood came rushing out and almost put the fire out. That is what history declares about this occasion…

Can You See the Picture? That is our title, but it is also a question I am asking, because we are getting close to the time when all the bride should be getting this end time picture straight in their mind. We are dealing with the book of Revelation…

WE ARE GOING TO TRY AND ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AT THIS POINT, BEFORE CONTINUING ON. THIS WILL ENABLE ME TO GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO THOSE POINTS THAT ARE STILL NOT CLEAR TO EVERYONE.

WE ENDED THE FEBRUARY ISSUE DEALING WITH THE 144,000 SERVANTS OF GOD PREACHING THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL TO THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD IN THE LAST HALF OF THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL, SO WE WILL JUST PICK UP RIGHT THERE AND CONTINUE ON.

I SUPPOSE ALL OF YOU REALIZE BY NOW, THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A SHORT SUBJECT WE ARE ON. IN THE LAST 100 PLUS YEARS, MANY THINGS HAVE COME ABOUT THAT JESUS SPOKE OF IN HIS PARABLES, SO WE JUST WANT TO TAKE OUR TIME WITH THIS AND COVER AS MUCH OF IT AS WE CAN. IT WILL DELIVER MANY PEOPLE FROM SPIRITUAL IGNORANCE, IF THEY WILL JUST PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS PRESENTED IN THE TOTAL MESSAGE AND NOT ALLOW THEIR MIND TO RUN AHEAD OF WHAT IS BEING PRESENTED. WE WERE SPEAKING OF BELIEVERS THAT DID NOT AND DO NOT MEASURE UP TO THE STATURE OF THE BRIDE CHURCH, BUT IN REALITY THEY HAVE SOMETHING THE LORD WILL NOT IGNORE. THEY WILL DEFINITELY STAND AMONG THE OTHER IMMORTAL SAINTS AT THE PROPER TIME.

JESUS WAS NOT JUST KILLING TIME WHEN HE SPOKE WHAT WE READ IN THE 24TH AND 25TH CHAPTERS OF MATTHEW. WE WILL SEE AS WE CONTINUE ON IN THIS MESSAGE, THAT WE ARE LIVING IN THE ERA OF TIME WHEN THOSE THINGS ARE BEFORE OUR VERY EYES. THAT IS WHY WE TITLED THIS MESSAGE AS WE DID…

I AM GOING TO START THIS MESSAGE TODAY AND TITLE IT, “THE LAST 100 YEARS-PLUS. I AM ADDING THE WORD PLUS, FOR A CERTAIN PURPOSE. THAT 100 YEARS HAS ALREADY PASSED, AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH OF THIS BIBLE HAS BEEN UNFOLDED IN OUR LIFETIME…

We have this chart I will be using as a point of illustration; and We are going to title this message, “Grace is the Better Covenant.” I have a certain reason for this title, because as we make this study through the scriptures, it is a fact that God called the seed of Abraham…

WE ARE STILL ON THE MESSAGE, “WHAT IS PERFECTION?” THERE COULD BE MANY DEFINITIONS GIVEN FOR IT, BUT I WILL SAY AGAIN, IT IS THE PROCESS OF BRINGING AN OBJECT OR THING TO A REQUIRED STATE, OR LIKENESS. IN THE SENSE OF A PERSON, OBTAINING THE DESIRED QUALITY OR THE EMBODIMENT OF ATTRIBUTES. WE DO KNOW THIS, AS PERTAINING TO THE BRIDE OF CHRIST IT STRICTLY HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT HAS AN EFFECT ON THE ENTIRE BODY OF CHRIST. THE CHURCH IN UNITY, AS SHE OBTAINS MORE AND MORE OF THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULNESS OF CHRIST…

WE HAVE READ MUCH ABOUT BEING PERFECT AND ABOUT PERFECTION ITSELF, BUT VERY LITTLE ABOUT WHAT PERFECTION REALLY IS IN THE EYES OF GOD. THAT IS WHY I FEEL THAT WE SHOULD TAKE SOME TIME TO DEAL WITH THE SUBJECT, SO I PRAY THAT GOD WILL HELP ME AS I GO INTO THE SUBJECT OF PERFECTION; AND ALLOW US TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT HE CALLS PERFECTION.

As I speak to Jewish people, I want them to know this, I am not going to try to convert them to Christianity: At least that is not my reason for speaking to them. They have their God-given rights to live and worship as they choose, but we do want to share with them, something that we know for sure by divine revelation…

Just look at that no good King Herod. He was like the politicians we have in our society today. Let them hear of something that is biblically taking place on the earth and before very long they bring in commandos to tear up the place and destroy everything pertaining to the event…

When we begin to read about the first church, the things that shall be hereafter, keep in mind, John lived in the Ephesian age, which was the first, and he did not carry over into the next age. What he was shown in visionary form, he wrote, and they were the things which shall be hereafter…

remember when America was not like that. You have seen the problem the Boy Scouts have faced lately. Well allow me to read you the words Bro. William Branham spoke. Listen carefully, as I read…

I have an illustration for you this morning. Turn in the songbook to page 336, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” If something does not sound right to you, sing anyway…

WE ENDED LAST ISSUE SPEAKING OF SOME OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAW AND GRACE, SO WE WILL JUST INSERT A FEW WORDS FROM THE END OF THE AUGUST ISSUE AND CONTINUE RIGHT ON.

I WANT TO GO INTO A MESSAGE WE WILL TITLE “LAW V/S GRACE,” BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN VARIOUS GROUPS WHO RECEIVE OUR MESSAGES. NATURALLY WE GENTILES HAVE NEVER LIVED UNDER THE LAW GIVEN TO MOSES, BUT WE DO HAVE RESPECT FOR IT, KNOWING IT EXPRESSES THE MIND OF GOD AS HE WAS DEALING WITH A PEOPLE WHO WERE STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO A DELIVERER.

I covered some of that third parable and then went on to the fourth, but since there are things in the third parable that I did not touch on, I want to go back to Matthew 13:31 and look at some other things that we need to consider. I had an e-mail sent to me awhile back, asking where to find history dealing with the Nicean council…

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WAS ONE OF THE FIRST MESSAGES THE LORD DEALT WITH ME ON. WAY BACK IN 1953, WHEN WE FIRST BEGAN TO GO TO THE BRANHAM TABERNACLE TO HEAR BRO. BRANHAM, THE LORD BEGAN TO DEAL WITH ME ABOUT THE SEVEN PARABLES OF MATTHEW, CHAPTER 13, SO THAT IS WHAT WE WILL BE LOOKING AT AGAIN TODAY…

WE ARE GOING TO PICK UP RIGHT WHERE THE LAST ISSUE ENDED, DEALING WITH THE WOMAN OF REVELATION 12:6, THAT FLEES INTO THE WILDERNESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL…

I AM SURE MOST OF YOU KNOW THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONAL RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WORLD TODAY, BUT I WONDER HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER STOPPED TO THINK, WHY? HOW CAN THE SAME SCRIPTURES LEAD SO MANY PEOPLE IN SO MANY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS? WHERE IS THE PROBLEM?

WE HAVE SAID QUITE A BIT ALREADY ABOUT TRUE “SCRIPTURAL HOLINESS,” AND ALSO ABOUT MANY OF THE IDEAS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT HOLINESS, BUT AS WE CONTINUE ON WITH THE MESSAGE I FEEL THAT THERE ARE YET MANY THINGS TO BE SAID…

This message is going to seem very strange, when you weigh it against traditional beliefs that have been handed down for centuries; and I confess to you that I feel a little nervous in going about it, but the time is right for the truth to be understood.

As we continue on with this message, there is something I want to express and try to demonstrate what we mean. I hope you will listen to what I say. If you do not listen and take heed, somewhere just in front of us, someone is going to lose something and then wish a thousand time they had listened to what I said…

We are giving this message the title “A Healthy Body” because we will endeavor to present a picture to you of what the Body of Christ, the true church of the living God, is going to look like and sound like when she is ready to leave this world…

Adam had a potential when God placed him in the garden of Eden with a commission and a command, he was to replenish the earth…

When you read certain passages of scriptures, they sound like God created all things by or through Jesus Christ. Therefore my main purpose in this portion of the message is to show you, or call your attention to what translators have done to the Bible, which is a real disservice…

Luke came into the picture later on, but when he started his epistle, he said he had perfect understanding from those that had lived in the hour of Christ, and had walked with Him…

THE LAST ISSUE ENDED WITH A REBUKE TO THE LAW MAKERS OF OUR NATION, BECAUSE OF THE PREVAILING SPIRIT OF THIS AGE, THAT HAS ALLOWED THE DEVIL TO INFLUENCE EVERY DECISION THEY MAKE, IGNORING THE PRINCIPLES OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE GUIDED BY. IN THIS ISSUE, WE WANT TO START OUT BY EXPLAINING SOME COMMON SENSE FACTS THAT THE TRUE BELIEVER CAN BE GUIDED BY, TO AVOID FALLING INTO THE SAME T R AP DENOMINATIONAL RELIGIOUS LEADERS ARE LEADING THEIR FOLLOWERS INTO.

WE HAVE USED THIS SAME TITLE BEFORE, BUT I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THE MESSAGE SHOULD BE PUBLISHED AGAIN, RIGHT HERE AT THE END OF THE AGE, WHEN SO MANY ARE GOING AFTER IDEAS THAT ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY SCRIPTURE FROM GOD’S HOLY, INSPIRED WORD. I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT A PERSON WOULD HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ALL ABOUT EVERYTHING WE WILL COVER IN THIS MESSAGE IN ORDER TO SURRENDER THEIR HEART TO THE LORD, BUT I WILL SAY THIS, THERE IS A LOT OF SCRIPTURE THAT YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THAT GOD TESTED HIS ANGELIC HELPERS BY GIVING THEM AN ANIMAL KINGDOM TO RULE OVER AT A TIME PRIOR TO GENESIS 1:2, SO LET US PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT WILL BE BROUGHT OUT.

We have been looking at a wide range of events that naturally precede the end time wrap up and set the stage for Israel’s clean sweep of all Arabs from the land God gave their father Abraham…

This is a prophecy that has lain here in the Bible for centuries with very little attention being paid to it. I am going to begin reading in the 4th verse. I went to the Lord in prayer. I do not like to say very much about how the Lord deals with me at times, when I am in prayer, but I read this chapter and was praying afterward…

We are giving this message a title that should cause everyone to sit up and take notice to what is contained within. We are going to look at what the Bible makes absolutely clear, and show you why there is only one way to read and understand these scriptures…

We have already spoken of how God was to deal with Israel to get her to start coming back into the land. We used the 10th chapter of Zechariah, how Judah would be the believing tribe that would carry on, and would actually be a warrior to fight the early battles. That is what Judah really did. That is what happened in the Six Day War in 1967…

In the past few weeks you have heard the Millennium, the Millennium, the Millennium. What does it mean? Does it mean Jesus is coming when the year 2000 rolls around? No. That event cannot come that soon. Does it mean that the systems of the world will be thrown into chaos? That is a possibility, so let us prayerfully look into the word of God and see what He has said about the time we are living in…

We are going to deal with a message that I hope will wake up some people that are just drifting along as if everything is pointing to a bright future here on this earth…

We are on this subject, “The Eighth Day;” and I realize some of you probably have relatives in the Adventist type of belief, but I feel that we need to deal with it because of so much confusion associated with various teachings…

The only way we should try to answer this question is by examining what the bible has to say about the subject. I am endeavoring to look into the blessed old book and let it do the talking.

WE ARE LIVING RIGHT AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE YEAR 2000 A.D., AND THERE ARE GREAT EXPECTATIONS IN THE MIND’S AND HEART’S OF MANY PROFESSING CHRISTIANS BECAUSE THEY ALL FEEL THAT A GREAT CHANGE IS AT HAND. A GREAT CHANGE IS AT HAND, BUT IT MAY NOT BE WHAT MOST OF THEM EXPECT: THE MILLENNIUM AGE IS NOT GOING TO START IN THE YEAR 2000…

Let us hold what we have learned from the other scriptures we have considered and go right to the 19th chapter of Isaiah, where it tells about Egypt. We see Israel launching out, reclaiming their rightful heritage and the effects of such an event, so notice, as we look further into the consequences…

We are a people that believe very strongly that we are living in the last days of time. There are too many written scriptures in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, that show us that the human race of people on the earth today are facing a point in time that is destined to bring about drastic changes…

Every man that was an apostle in the first age of Christendom fully respected the others God had called to various offices. They might have had their personal differences, but never did they disagree in their understanding of the word of God. They all had the same understanding…

WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME SCRIPTURES, AND SOME PRESENT DAY CONDITIONS, AND LET THE SPIRIT OF GOD TEACH US WHAT PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED TO BE IN THE BRIDE OF CHRIST SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT WHILE THIS BODY OF CALLED OUT BELIEVERS IS BEING PUT TOGETHER. MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO VARIOUS IDEAS OF WHAT THE BODY OF CHRIST SHOULD BE LIKE…

I ASK THAT YOU WOULD ALL THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT WHAT WE ARE PRESENTING TO YOU. WE ARE LIVING IN AN EVIL AGE OF PERVERSION AND UNGODLINESS OF EVERY SORT, AND THINGS ARE NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER UNTIL JESUS AND HIS BRIDE SAINTS RETURN BACK TO EARTH…

I AM GOING TO READ THE DREAM I HAD THE OTHER NIGHT. THE MORE I THINK ON IT, THE MORE CONVINCED I AM OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS A DREAM GIVEN TO ME TO SHOW THAT GOD IS GETTING READY TO DO SOMETHING ON BEHALF OF ISRAEL…

WE ARE DEALING WITH THIS MESSAGE HOPING TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN HIGH PLACES, CONCERNING A NEW WORLD ORDER AND WHETHER THIS THING IS THE BEAST OF REVELATION 13:1, OR WHETHER IT IS JUST A SCARECROW DESIGNED BY SATAN TO THROW RELIGION OFF THE TRAIL…

I HAVE GIVEN THIS MESSAGE THIS TITLE FOR A VERY SIMPLE REASON: IT IS BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISLE, AS WELL AS SUPPOSED-TO-BE SPIRITUAL LEADERS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD ARE ALL SPEAKING OF AN LOOKING TOWARD SOMETHING THAT IS COMPLETELY CONTRARY TO BIBLE PROPHECY.

There appears to be an all seeing eye watching you, on the right side is the seal of the United States government. The point is this, If I take what Bro. William Branham said, and this is not to discredit anything, I say this in respect of the Branham family, relatives, and followers. If you hear what I am saying, I am not ignorant of what the histories prove. I did not study this to disprove Bro. William Branham and what he said about the dollar bill. But when in 1988, I read in the National Geographic magazine that they had found the burial boat that carried the body of the pharaoh or king, whatever they were called in that era, down to be buried there, then they buried the boat, I knew there had to be something more to know than what I knew up until then…

The minute they saw each other they were locked in a battle. They used trick photography to make them look large like dinosaurs. Here they are, locked in battle and rolling head over heels all over the place. It makes everything look like that was exactly the way it took place a million years ago. I am explaining it that way, because as this animal kingdom began to grow and flourish, nothing was going to happen until it had become populated the world over…

Let us open our Bible’s to Ezekiel, chapter 28: I want to bring these parallels along as we go through this. Ezekiel was a prophet who lived in a time when God was bringing certain conditions of judgment on outlying communities and cities in and around the environment of Israel. Off the main coast line of south Lebanon is an island area. There used to be an ancient city there by the name of Tyrus…

WE HAVE DEALT WITH THE TESTING AND FALL OF SATAN FROM TIME TO TIME THROUGH THE YEARS, BUT IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT SOME ARE TEACHING IN THIS HOUR OF TIME, I FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO TAKE SOME TIME AND GET THIS FRESH AGAIN IN OUR MIND’S…

WE ARE CONTINUING ON WITH THE THOUGHT WE WERE ON AT THE END OF OUR MAY ISSUE. WE WERE ILLUSTRATING TO YOU HOW THE ANCIENT ROMAN EMPIRE LEADERSHIP JUST GREW WEAKER AND WEAKER UNTIL THE ROMAN CATHOLIC POPE WAS ABLE TO EXERCISE HIS AUTHORITY ABOVE THE POLITICAL LEADERS, SO THAT IT WAS NO LONGER STATE OVER CHURCH: IT BECAME CHURCH OVER STATE. THE POPE, THE LITTLE HORN THAT PLUCKED UP THREE OF THE FIRST TEN HORNS BECAME THE VOICE OF AUTHORITY OVER THE ROMAN EMPIRE. WE WILL PICK UP WHERE OUR LAST ISSUE ENDED.

WHEN WE GIVE A TITLE LIKE THIS TO A MESSAGE, I AM ALWAYS AWARE THAT THERE WILL BE SOME WHO WILL SAY, OH, I HAVE HEARD THAT ALL MY LIFE AND TIME IS STILL GOING RIGHT ON. YES, THAT IS TRUE, SO HAVE I, HEARD SUCH STATEMENTS, BUT I REALIZE NOW, THAT THOSE WHO MADE THEM WERE NOT BASING THEIR STATEMENTS ON A REVELATION OF PROPHECY THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN FULFILLED. WE ARE LOOKING AT FULFILLED PROPHECY AND LINING IT UP WITH WHAT SURELY WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW IT. THAT IS HOW WE REACH CERTAIN CONCLUSIONS. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT ONE SAYS, UNLESS THERE IS A SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION FOR IT, BUT WHEN WE CAN SHOW FROM THE BIBLE, THAT CERTAIN THINGS ARE AT HAND, IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING IF REVELATED SAINTS WOULD TAKE HEED AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY. WE CAN IN NO WAY FULFILL PROPHECY BEFORE ITS PREDETERMINED TIME OF FULFILLMENT, BUT WHEN THE TIME IS AT HAND FOR SOMETHING TO BE FULFILLED, NEITHER CAN WE DO ANYTHING TO DELAY IT. IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT I AM SAYING IS, GOD IS STILL RUNNING THE SHOW. IT IS HIS PLAN AND PURPOSE THAT IS BEING WORKED OUT RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES; AND ONLY THE TRUE BRIDE CHURCH SITS IN A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN RECOGNIZE IT. ALL OF THOSE PROPHECIES IN DANIEL AND REVELATION, HAVE AN EXACT SPOT THAT THEY FIT INTO IN THE PLAN OF GOD. SOME HAVE BEEN FULFILLED ALREADY;

WHAT ONE THING WAS USED BY CHRIST, HIS APOSTLES AND EARLY CHURCH IN DEFENSE OF THEIR POSITION WHEN CONFRONTED ON CERTAIN ISSUES? HOW WAS SUCH AN EXAMPLE TO AFFECT AN END TIME PEOPLE?

America has become a society that is being overrun by the devil. He has come up in our schools in the past few years with the idea of abolishing all recognition of a Creator from your mind’s. Teachers in the 1940’s and 1950’s that was still holding on to the Biblical story of creation were forced by the high command to make a place for the study of evolution…

I want to take a title “America – Look At Yourself!”, and give you a change to take a fresh look at how America enters into this end time picture…

All of those centuries of spiritual darkness had left the poor Catholic people in almost total ignorance concerning the reality of a sovereign God, and they were left with image worship and rituals of all sorts as the way they were to worship, or acknowledge the Creator. I will just remind our modern preachers of prophecy once again, that the reason those poor souls did it, was because they had been held in darkness…

As the bishop at Constantinople denounced wanting any kind of position of recognition, yet the bishop of Rome wanted to enforce and flourish his image and took opportunity like that. One time it was said, If the world can be ruled by the king or emperor of Rome, then Christianity ought to be ruled by the bishop of Rome…

The true bride saints along with King Jesus, truly will rule the whole world, but some of these scriptures that speak of the whole world are in reality speaking only of the old prophetic world. I realize that many times when the word whole is used in scriptures, it sounds like we take it to a complete end, but when we begin to read these prophetic scriptures…

We were in Ezekiel 25:14. “And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom (Notice this.) by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my anger.” Saints, it is not what Bill Clinton says, nor what any of the world leaders of Europe or the United Nations say, it is what the word of God says that counts. When that hour of time comes, that God wants His temple built and the city of Jerusalem renovated, rebuilt, glorified, getting it ready for the Millennial reign of the Jewish Messiah, He is going to cause the nation of Israel to take such a giant sweep of the Islamic world that it will stagger the mind’s of the whole world. It is going to put a fear, even terror in the hearts of all those Arabs. It is God’s way of ripping out of them, that stubborn, cruel, Islamic, self righteous ego.

THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A STRANGE TITLE FOR A MESSAGE FROM THE BIBLE, BUT I BELIEVE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE CONNECTION AS WE GO ALONG, SO JUST BEAR WITH ME. WHAT WE WANT TO SHOW YOU, IS, AFTER CENTURIES AND DECADES, THE TIMES AND SEASONS ARE DEFINITELY POINTING TO THE SOON RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST FOR HIS BRIDE CHURCH. GOD HAS ALLOWED THE GENTILES TO BE GUARDIANS OF THIS BLESSED OLD BOOK WE CALL “THE BIBLE” FOR ALMOST TWO THOUSAND YEARS; BUT HE WILL SOON RETURN AGAIN TO THE JEWS, TO FINISH OUT THE LAST WEEK OF THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF YEARS OF THE PROPHECY OF DANIEL THAT WE HAVE MENTIONED SO MANY TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS. SOME HAVE ARGUED THAT THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL IS UNIMPORTANT TO US IN THIS DAY AND HOUR; BUT I SEE IT AS A PRECIOUS THING, THAT GOD WOULD ALLOW US TO HAVE THIS REVELATION WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT, ALONG WITH OTHER PROPHECIES, IN ESTABLISHING WHERE WE ARE IN TIME. GOD KNOWS I APPRECIATE IT. WE ARE USING THIS CHART ON THE WALL BEHIND ME TO HELP YOU GET THE PICTURE TOGETHER IN YOUR MIND; AND I HOPE WE CAN ALSO PRINT IT IN THE CONTENDER TO HELP OUR READERS, SO JUST PRAY THAT WE CAN GET EVERYTHING OUT TO YOU THE WAY IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME.

THIS WILL BE THE LAST PART OF THE MESSAGE “TRUTH IN CONFLICT,” WHICH WE STARTED IN OUR MAY ISSUE. IT IS A MESSAGE DEALING WITH THE GODHEAD, AND WITH THE WAY PEOPLE IN GENERAL TREAT TRUTH. NATURALLY THERE IS NO WAY TO GIVE A REVELATION TO THOSE WHO ARE OUTSIDE THE REALM OF THOSE WHOM GOD HAD FOREKNOWN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, BUT TO THOSE WHO TRULY ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, JUST HAVING A FORM OF RELIGION WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO GET YOU OFF THE GROUND WHEN THE RAPTURE TAKES PLACE. THIS IS DEFINITELY PREPARATION TIME FOR THE BRIDE OF CHRIST. SHE MUST BE CLOTHED IN A REVELATION OF THE WORD OF GOD; AND THE TIME LEFT FOR THAT IS VERY SHORT.

WE PRINTED THE BEGINNING OF THIS MESSAGE IN OUR MAY ISSUE, SO WE WILL JUST CONTINUE ON FROM WHERE WE ENDED LAST ISSUE. “TRUTH IN CONFLICT” IS OUR SUBJECT FOR THIS MESSAGE; AND WE WERE JUST GETTING TO THE PLACE WHERE JESUS WAS INVITED TO THE HOUSE OF A PHARISEE NAMED SIMON FOR DINNER AND A CERTAIN WOMAN WASHED JESUS’ FEET WITH HER TEARS AND DRIED THEM WITH THE HAIRS OF HER HEAD.

I AM FORCED BY CIRCUMSTANCES MANY TIMES, TO GO AHEAD AND DO OR SAY SOMETHING I HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY PLANNED TO. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH THE MESSAGE WE WILL BE DEALING WITH TODAY. I HAVE TWO LETTERS HERE, THAT I WANT YOU TO HEAR READ, BECAUSE IT IS THESE TWO LETTERS THAT SET THE STAGE FOR THE MESSAGE I AM GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU. I HAVE PREACHED IT BEFORE; AND THE LAST TIME, I SAID I WOULD NEVER PREACH ON IT AGAIN, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE I SHOULD SHOW YOU WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON IN OTHER AREAS OF THE EARTH. I AM GOING TO ASK BROTHER THOMPSON TO READ THEM IN YOUR HEARING BEFORE I SAY VERY MUCH. WE RECEIVED THE ONE YESTERDAY, FROM SIS. VILLAGONZA, THE WIFE OF BRO. VILLAGONZA IN THE PHILIPPINES. HE HAS STOOD WITH US IN THIS TRUTH THROUGH THE YEARS; AND HE IS STILL STANDING FOR THE TRUTH. ANYHOW, AFTER READING THESE LETTERS I THOUGHT, TRUTH IS REALLY IN A GREAT CONFLICT. THERE IS WARFARE RAGING EVERYWHERE TRUTH IS UPHELD TODAY; AND IT FORCES US TO TAKE A STAND IN DEFENSE OF THE TRUTH WE STAND FOR.

America never has had the desire to conquer the people of other nations and seize their land to enlarge ours. On the contrary, she has always stood ready to help other nations when it seemed right to do so. She has been a leader in bringing the people of other nations together in a healing process. With this in mind, this healing process is how you have to see what world leaders, after WW2 did, especially from the economic standpoint, as well as from the military standpoint, as they worked together with the leaders in Europe…

“For nation shall rise against nation.” That has been a picture ever since WW2. On an October morning, it was a chilly morning, I was on Okinawa. The war was over, (WW2) and we were waiting our turn to come home. A second lieutenant called us out; and we sat down on a grassy knoll. He had an article he wanted to read to us. He said, Boys, I have an article here from the State Department…

I have been very concerned about something that has been going on since the bombing in Oklahoma. I want you to know I have lost several nights of sleep. When we turned the news on last Tuesday morning and saw what a tragedy had been thrust upon those poor people, it was hard to think of anyone being that cruel and heartless….

There came a time in the first Age of Christianity, when a man and his wife had consented to do certain things like the other saints were doing; and a little later they covenanted between themselves to keep back a little bit of what they had pledged for a rainy day. That very thing displeased God and He struck both of them down dead…

As the Lord deals with his bride church in the end time, we are going to experience some things that will be completely new to a lot of people. We are going to see some anointings on various ones that will go beyond anything we have experienced to this point…

I expect that this message is going to be quite lengthy; but I want to cover it from every angle; and especially from the historical standpoint, because I realize the hour we live in, there are many people who are totally ignorant of what God has done and what He will still do. They would not know for sure that God was doing anything because they have failed to become acquainted with what He has done in the past…

Because of the various experiences and manifestations we have witnessed lately, I feel let to start a message we will title, “The Bride’s Anointing”…

When you hear some of this so-called gospel music out here in the Charismatic circles today, you realize those people have become so blinded to true holiness they go out into the world and bring in long haired, hippie looking, rock, “gospel singers” that actually make a mockery of what the true Church stands for…

Denominational preachers are always talking about how doctrines do nothing more than divide Christian people; but I have to proclaim loud and clear, “The true Bible doctrines taught by the Spirit, (the way they are laid out in the Epistles) are the spiritual framework that holds your faith together when you do have an experience of salvation and purpose to walk with God and grow in spiritual stature.”

When I speak of how denominational church people responded to the prophet messenger to this age, I am sure there are some who would say, Bro. Jackson, I just cannot believe that. Well read your Bible. Did the Judaistic leaders of Jesus’ hour not respond the same way? Did they really want God?

In John 16, we find these words spoken by Jesus; and they have to stand as a gauge, no matter what various people want to believe. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth…

For the past several months now, the Holy Spirit has been moving in a special way among our young people and the saints of other assemblies around the world are receiving the same blessing….

HAVING DONE MY BEST TO SHOW YOU THAT THERE ARE EVER SO MANY FALSE WITNESSES IN THE WORLD TODAY, ALL CLAIMING TO BE FOLLOWERS OF THE MESSAGE BROTHER WILLIAM BRANHAM WAS SENT BY GOD TO THIS AGE TO DELIVER, I WILL MAKE A FEW MORE COMMENTS AND THEN TRY TO MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT POINT.

As I have said many times, Sitting there on my couch that cold February morning, I just picked up the Bible and it fell open to the 1st chapter of Luke. I read where Zechariah went into the temple to burn incense, and how the angel Gabriel was seen there at the right hand of the altar of incense…

I FEEL THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE VERY MIXED UP IN THEIR MINDS CONCERNING THIS MYSTERY THE APOSTLE PAUL AND THE APOSTLE JOHN WROTE ABOUT. IT WAS A MYSTERY IN OLD TESTAMENT TIMES; BUT IN THIS HOUR OF TIME WE ARE LIVING IN, THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT TO BE A MYSTERY TO ANY TRUE CHILD OF GOD. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF ALLOWING THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO SPEAK TO YOUR HEART…

HAVING READ THOSE VERSES FROM ISAIAH, CHAPTER 49:11-20, AS WE CLOSED OUT OUR LAST ISSUE, WE CAN PLAINLY SEE THAT THERE ARE YET SOME JEWS LEFT AMONG THE NATIONS THAT MUST BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE LAND OF THEIR FOREFATHERS BEFORE THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL GOES INTO EFFECT, SO LET US CONTINUE ON WITH THAT THOUGHT.

IN OUR APRIL ISSUE, WE STARTED A MESSAGE TITLED “WHEN ISRAEL DOES THIS,” USING MICAH 7:11-17 AS OUR TEXT SCRIPTURE, WHICH DEALS WITH WHAT ISRAEL WILL DO TO FULFILL THESE VARIOUS PROPHECIES SET FORTH IN THE MESSAGE “LOOKING THROUGH WINDOWS OF PROPHECY;” AND WE HAD JUST READ FOUR VERSES FROM THE 12TH CHAPTER OF ZECHARIAH; SO THAT IS WHERE WE WILL CONTINUE ON FROM.

OUR FOCAL SCRIPTURE FOR WHAT WE WANT TO DEAL WITH IS MICAH 7:11-17. I KNOW WE WILL BE GOING BACK TO SOME SCRIPTURES WE HAVE ALREADY USED IN THE WINDOWS OF PROPHECY MESSAGE; BUT I FEEL THE NEED TO DO SO; AND I ASK THE QUESTION, HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE SIX DAY WAR ISRAEL FOUGHT? THAT WAS THE FIRST MAJOR WAR SHE HAD FOUGHT THIS SIDE OF THEM BECOMING A NATION: WHEN THE UNITED NATIONS GRANTED HER THAT CERTAIN PORTION OF LAND.

In Ezekiel 38:9, it says, (speaking of Gog, or Russia) “Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.” When will that take place? When Israel is finally dwelling safely in their unwalled villages…

WE ENDED LAST ISSUE SPEAKING OF THE APPROXIMATE LENGTH OF TIME OF THE GENERATION JESUS SAID WOULD LIVE TO SEE THE END OF ALL WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING OF; SO THAT IS WHERE WE WILL PICK UP TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE MESSAGE.

I BELIEVE WE ARE ALL GOING TO LEARN SOMETHING AS WE LOOK AT THESE VARIOUS PROPHECIES THAT LEAD RIGHT UP TO THE WEEK OF DANIEL WHICH IS YET TO BE FULFILLED. WE ARE USING THIS CHART TO HELP ILLUSTRATE THE PROGRESSION OF TIME; AND EACH OF THESE LITTLE FRAMES REPRESENT THE FRAME OF A WINDOW. TIME MOVES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AS WE DEAL WITH THE MESSAGE AND ENDS UP IN THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL.

We ended the November issue while speaking of the mystery woman of Revelation chapter 12; so that is where this issue will pick up: speaking of how the Jews condemned Jesus to be crucified; and how it was necessary for the Romans to carry it out, rather than the Jews.

WE ARE LIVING CLOSE TO THE END OF THIS GENTILE AGE OF GRACE: AND AMONG CHURCH-GOING PEOPLE YOU CAN HEAR ALL KINDS OF PREDICTIONS AND PROJECTIONS ABOUT THINGS THAT MUST TAKE PLACE BEFORE THE LORD JESUS COMES FOR HIS BRIDE CHURCH…

“Two British scientists say they have concluded with reasonable certainty that Christ died on Friday April 3rd in the year 33. Colin J. Humphries and W.G. Waddington, both of Oxford University said…

I want us to go back, and instead of leaving the Jews in Babylon and hurrying to the 70 weeks of Daniel, pick up the course the Jews followed and see how the ark of the covenant fit into the picture. We need to see what it symbolized.

In the loins of Adam, for the purpose of the reproduction of human life on this planet, was a perfect law. When God does anything in the original it is perfect: it is never imperfect. He does not just throw something together and wait for man to perfect it…

THROUGH THE YEARS, WE HAVE PUBLISHED VARIOUS MESSAGES DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT OF “SERPENT SEED,” AND I AM THANKFUL TO THE LORD FOR ALLOWING US TO SEE THIS VERY IMPORTANT TRUTH…

WE WERE SPEAKING OF HOW THE WORD ANTICHRIST STANDS OUT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS MENTIONED (THE WORD ITSELF) ONLY TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THE BIBLE; AND HOW THE ANTICHRIST MAN HIMSELF WILL END UP WHEN THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL CLOSES OUT; SO LET US CONTINUE ON WITH THAT THOUGHT.

WE HAVE SOME STARTLING THINGS TO READ TO YOU; BUT FIRST I WANT TO SAY THIS, SOMETIMES I SAY THINGS THAT SOUND VERY HARSH. IT IS JUST MY WAY OF EXPRESSION. THEREFORE, TO ANY VIEWER OF A VIDEO OR ANYONE THAT WOULD HEAR THIS ON TAPE OR WOULD READ IT IN THE CONTENDER, I DO NOT WANT PEOPLE TO THINK I AM SOME HEARTLESS CREATURE WITH A WARPED MIND. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO THINK I LOOK DOWN UPON THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE THIS OR THAT OR ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I AM.

WE ARE GOING TO MAKE ALL OF THE VARIOUS POINTS OF THIS MESSAGE AS CLEAR AND PRECISE AS THE LORD WILL ENABLE US TO DO: BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING IN A DECADE WHEN THERE ARE GOING TO BE MANY DRASTIC CHANGES IN BOTH RELIGION AND WORLD GOVERNMENT. NATURALLY, I WILL HAVE TO PUT ENOUGH HISTORY IN WITH MY OWN COMMENTS TO GO WITH ALL THE OTHER MATERIAL WE ARE READING FROM VARIOUS SOURCES DEALING WITH WHAT IS COMING OUT OF THE VATICAN TODAY. WE ARE HEARING MANY THINGS; AND SOME OF THEM WE HAVE HEARD FOR YEARS; BUT WE HAVE NEVER LIVED IN THE YEAR 1992 BEFORE, THE YEAR WHEN CERTAIN THINGS ARE PRESENT TENSE INSTEAD OF SOMETHING FAR OFF IN THE FUTURE. ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS WHAT THAT CERTAIN CATHOLIC WRITER HAS SAID CONCERNING THE PRESENT POPE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH: HOW BY THE END OF THIS DECADE HE WILL BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL OVER EUROPE. THAT IS WHY WE WANT TO BE SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THE SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS ON THAT BEAST OF DANIEL 7 AND REVELATION 13. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO READ THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES ACCURATELY AS VARIOUS THINGS START TO COME INTO FOCUS.

WE WANT TO GET RIGHT BACK INTO THIS MESSAGE WE HAVE TITLED, “THE WOUNDED HEAD;” FOR I AM PERSUADED THAT MUCH OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IN THE MESSAGE IS KNOCKING AT OUR DOORS ALREADY. GENTILE TIME IS SHORT; AND ALL OF THIS WILL HAVE TO MANIFEST BEFORE THE END. I KNOW THAT AS THIS VIDEO GOES OUT TO VARIOUS PLACES IN THE WORLD, THERE WILL BE CATHOLIC PEOPLE FROM TIME TO TIME THAT WILL SEE IT AS WELL AS HEAR THE CASSETTE TAPES AND ALSO READ WHAT WE PRINT IN THE CONTENDER. WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARD ANY INDIVIDUAL PERSON WHO WILL LISTEN TO ME; BUT I AM TALKING ABOUT THE SYSTEM OF RELIGION THAT HAS SO PERVERTED THE SCRIPTURES AND TAKEN INNOCENT SOULS CAPTIVE, THAT GOD WILL NOT TOLERATE IT FOREVER.

FOR YOU WHO ARE LISTENING TO ME ON AUDIO TAPE, AND THOSE OF YOU WHO WILL READ THIS MESSAGE IN THE PAPER, I AM CARRYING A GROCERY BAG FULL OF BOOKS. NO, I AM NOT GOING TO START PREACHING SOMEONE ELSE’S MESSAGES. I AM GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THIS WORLD IN THIS HOUR OF TIME, IN THE REALM OF RELIGION AND POLITICS.

IF WE FAIL TO TAKE HEED TO THAT WHICH THE CREATOR GIVES US A CHANCE TO KNOW ABOUT, OUR FLESH MAY VERY WELL HAVE TO SUFFER THINGS WE MIGHT HAVE OTHERWISE AVOIDED, AS I SAID EARLIER IN THE MESSAGE, THE HOUR IS TOO LATE FOR THE TRUE PEOPLE OF GOD TO JUST BE PLAYING AROUND. IF WE EXPECT TO BE TAKEN UP WITH HIM WHEN JESUS COMES FOR HIS BRIDE CHURCH, WE HAD BETTER BE GETTING OURSELVES DRESSED IN SOMETHING THAT WILL BE ACCEPTABLE TO HIM.

WE WERE SPEAKING OF THE MINISTRY GOD PLACED IN THE CHURCH FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS; AND HOW IT WAS NECESSARY FOR THERE TO BE A MALACHI 4:5-6 MINISTRY UPON EARTH BEFORE THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY COULD BECOME AN END TIME REALITY; SO THAT IS WHERE WE WILL PICK UP AND CONTINUE ON FROM.

We are continuing the thought we were dealing with at the end of last issue. This element of the Branham movement that has disgraced the name of the very man they look to as God, will take Luke 17:30 and try their best to convince you that the Son of man mentioned in that verse is Bro. William Branham….

WE ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH A SUBJECT IN THE LIGHT OF PRESENT DAY EVENTS, A SUBJECT I HAVE NEVER BEEN LED TO DEAL WITH IN THIS WAY BEFORE. THERE HAVE BEEN THINGS GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS THAT ARE NOW BEGINNING TO COME TO THE FOREFRONT, CERTAIN THINGS THAT ACTUALLY PROMPT ME TO DEAL WITH THIS SUBJECT OF THE WISE AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS, SPOKEN OF BY JESUS IN MATTHEW, CHAPTER 24.

There‌ ‌was‌ ‌no‌ ‌music‌ ‌inside‌ ‌the‌ ‌temple;‌ ‌and‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌not‌ ‌a‌ ‌large‌ ‌building.‌ ‌It‌ ‌did‌ ‌not‌ ‌need‌ ‌to‌ ‌be,‌ ‌since‌ ‌only‌ ‌the‌ ‌priest‌ ‌went‌ ‌inside‌ ‌it.‌ ‌As‌ ‌we‌ ‌said,‌ ‌the‌ ‌people‌ ‌congregated‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌outer‌ ‌court‌ ‌of‌ ‌it;‌ ‌and‌ ‌that‌ ‌is‌ ‌where‌ ‌they‌ ‌would‌ ‌sing,‌ ‌and‌ ‌praise‌ ‌Jehovah.‌ ‌I‌ ‌have‌ ‌read‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌writings‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌historians,‌ ‌how‌ ‌these‌ ‌psalms‌ ‌were‌ ‌sung‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌worshipers‌ ‌as‌ ‌they‌ ‌gathered‌ ‌there.‌..

Israel is working very hard, in an economic way, to make room for all these Russian immigrants that have been coming back. While at one time the census, I believe was a little over three million Jews in Russia, we do not have to believe that all three million have to go back to Israel in order to constitute the fulfillment of whatever God has planned…

Matthew wrote, concerning the time when Jesus was raised up, saying, “Many of them that slept in the earth, (which was the graves) came forth.” We stated, concerning those saints that arose when Jesus came forth, that they had to come forth in immortal bodies, to die no more…

The resurrection of the saints that have died throughout the ages of time has caused much special and debate, but you seldom hear anyone speak from a true revelation on the subject…

esus was crucified, then raised from that tomb of death to fulfill the scriptures the Jews are blinded to. He has been in heaven for almost 2000 years in an immortal body, and what the Jews do not even suspect is that their Messiah, when He reigns in the seat of David, will not be subject to being shot down by an enemy, as their kings of other ages were…

Our text for the beginning of this message will be taken from Matthew 19 where Jesus speaks of the regeneration…

WE INTERRUPTED THIS MESSAGE ON THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY IN OUR FEBRUARY ISSUE; IN ORDER TO INSERT A MESSAGE PREACHED WHILE THE DESERT STORM WAR WAS GOING ON. WHAT WE INSERTED, JUST SORT OF BROUGHT THE MIDDLE EAST PICTURE UP TO DATE PROPHETIC WISE; AND ALLOWS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR READERS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY THE MIDDLE EAST IS IN SUCH A TURMOIL AT THIS PRESENT TIME. WE HAVE SEEN THAT GOD IS CLEARING THE WAY AND GETTING ISRAEL INTO POSITION TO GET THE REST OF HER LAND BACK. SHE HAS TO HAVE IT BACK IN HER CONTROL BEFORE THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL CAN BECOME A FULLING REALITY; BECAUSE THE FIRST HALF OF THAT WEEK OF YEARS WILL BE A TIME OF PEACE; AND THE LAST HALF, ISRAEL (THE WOMAN) WILL BE RUNNING FOR HER LIFE, GETTING AWAY FROM THE WRATH OF THE ANTICHRIST, WHEN HE KILLS THE TWO PROPHETS OF CHAPTER 11, AND DETERMINES TO RID THE EARTH OF JEWS.

WE ENDED OUR LAST ISSUE STILL LOOKING AT THE BEASTS OF THE BIBLE; SO THAT IS WHERE WE WILL BEGIN THIS ISSUE.

WE ENDED OUR JANUARY ISSUE SPEAKING OF HOW ZECHARIAH 10:3-4, IS BEING FULFILLED RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES AS WE SIT WATCHING OUR TELEVISION SETS; SO THAT IS WHERE WE WILL PICK UP.

THE WOMAN OF REVELATION 12:1, HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREAT MYSTERIES OF THE BIBLE; AS FAR AS THE GENTILE CHURCH WORLD IS CONCERNED. THEY HAVE CALLED HER EVERYTHING EXCEPT WHAT, OR WHO SHE REALLY IS. NATURALLY HER TRUE IDENTITY IS SEEN THROUGH EYES THAT HAVE BEEN ENLIGHTENED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT; BUT ONCE YOU SEE IT, EVERYTHING FITS PERFECTLY IN PLACE, AS YOU READ THE FOLLOWING VERSES. THAT OF COURSE, IS ANOTHER THING THAT IS ONLY FOR THE END TIME SAINTS TO UNDERSTAND; BUT WE ARE LIVING IN THAT TIME; SO LET US TAKE SOME TIME AND DEAL WITH THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS CHAPTER.

This 14 chapter of Revelation has been right here for hundreds of years, carried down through the Gentile periods of time; but never understood. Christian people have looked at it with a lot of misgivings; probably thinking it was just another one of those scriptural things they could stick on the wall, to help decorate their theological ideas, not really taking the understanding of it very seriously….

Since the title of this message is The Everlasting Gospel, we must go to Revelation 14:6 to show why we would give it such a title, but before that particular verse can be fulfilled, those verses we have already looked at in chapter 7, will have to come into fulfillment. That of course is when the 144,000 servants of God receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the revelation of Jesus Christ….

We are dealing with this message in light of what we see taking place in the world. I feel to bring it up to date with the day we are living in.

At this point, before we get them out of the garden, there is something I want to take time to explain as clearly as I possibly can. God has already cursed them; and is about to send them from His presence. He has cursed the ground; and commissioned Adam to do his own tilling of the soil; now that he no longer has the serpent to do that for him. He did not curse Adam’s reproductive ability; like He did the woman’s. That in itself, ought to tell anyone something.

People who have a scriptural point they want to make will say, Just give it the WORD test; and of course that is exactly what we should do when we hear something we are not familiar with. However as you have heard me say so many times, Everyone has his own idea as to what the Bible means by what it says. That is why I said earlier, The Baptists fought the Methodists for years over sanctification. They just simply could not see the teaching, how it applied to the individual’s experience and walk with God…

WE ARE DEALING WITH WHAT WE KNOW FROM THE WORD OF GOD CONCERNING HIS DEALINGS WITH THE PLANET EARTH; FROM THE PREHISTORIC ERA RIGHT ON INTO THE ETERNAL AGE. THEREFORE HAVING DEALT WITH THE PREHISTORIC ERA AND THE SIX (SO CALLED) CREATIVE DAYS OF GENESIS, CHAPTER 1, WE NOW COME TO THE PART WHERE GOD BEGAN HIS DEALINGS WITH OUR PROGENITORS ADAM AND EVE.

We are going to do something different beginning with this issue; and I believe it will be of help to many people who have not received all of our previous articles on what we believe to be major subjects. we will use one title, from the beginning, to the end; and run a series of messages beginning with the testing and fall of Satan, on the prehistoric earth, before Genesis 1:2; and end up in the new city; all the way over in revelation, chapters 21 and 22. It may take us a year to finish all of it; but when we do get it finished, we will have a pretty good picture of god’s dealings with this planet; from the time he placed angels on it to rule over a prehistoric” animal kingdom, right on through to the eternal age; if we may call it that. We will make it a continuous story from Genesis 1:1, through revelation 22:21; using the individual sermon titles as sub titles. Then later on, as we get on over into it, we will endeavor to print a little index; to help you find any particular subject, without having to search through many volumes to do so. we have been using some little charts to call attention to our main points; and we will endeavor to include them in the printed editions. therefore you may wonder, what are they doing with worms and bugs on a chart dealing with a subject like this first one we are printing? just give me time; and i will endeavor to clear it up for you. while we were in mexico, I felt we were dealing with a group of people, many of whom have been taught various things in the past 20 some years concerning the ministry of Bro. William Branham

We want to consider all of what John wrote about this city as we go along. Before I begin reading again let me say this, The little drawing you see up here behind me is just an illustrative drawing of how John no doubt looked upon this city as he saw it coming down from God out of heaven…

We have sketches here, of pictures that portray two settings in the Bible. One is of the garden that we read about in Genesis. The other is a city that is different than any other city you have ever heard of…

WE WILL JUST PICK UP RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT OFF, IN PART 1, OF THIS MESSAGE. I HAD JUST SPOKEN OF HOW NECESSARY IT IS, FOR THOSE WHO WOULD WALK WITH THE LORD IN THIS GENERATION, TO HAVE A REVELATION OF THOSE TRUTHS DELIVERED TO THIS AGE BY BRO. BRANHAM; GOD’S PROPHET MESSENGER TO THIS AGE; FOR THOSE WITHOUT SUCH A REVELATION WILL BE LEFT HERE TO FACE THE GREAT TRIBULATION. GOD HAS RESTORED HIS WORD TO THE BRIDE CHURCH IN THESE LAST DAYS TO ENABLE HER TO MAKE HERSELF READY TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM WHEN HE COMES; SO LET US CONTINUE WITH THE MESSAGE WE HAVE TITLED “THIS GENERATION.” ARE WE READING THE SIGNS PROPERLY?

I WANT TO TAKE A TEXT FROM MATTHEW 24, VERSE 34 AND PRESENT A MESSAGE TO YOU THAT I BELIEVE CAN BE VERY MEANINGFUL AT THIS TIME, THE TITLE COMES FROM TWO WORDS IN THE VERSE “THIS GENERATION,” WHICH WILL IMMEDIATELY POINT YOU TOT HE THOUGHT WE ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVING TODAY WHO WERE AWARE OF WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE WHEN ISRAEL EXPERIENCED HER REBIRTH AS A NATION OF PEOPLE; THAT WILL STILL BE ALIVE WHEN JESUS COMES FOR THE RAPTURE OF THE BRIDE CHURCH, MADE UP OF PEOPLE FROM EVERY NATION UNDER HEAVEN. NATURALLY SOME WILL SAY, OH I HAVE HEARD THAT FOR YEARS; AND THE TIME JUST KEEPS MARCHING ON. YES, THAT IS TRUE. I NEVER WOULD HAVE BELIEVED TWENTY YEARS AGO, THAT THE CHURCH WOULD STILL BE HERE TODAY; BUT OUR PERSONAL OPINIONS DO NOT CHANGE THE WORD OF GOD ONE BIT. EVERY PROPHECY WILL COME TO PASS EXACTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN; AND THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION. THERE HAS TO BE PEOPLE ALIVE WHEN JESUS COMES; THAT HAVE WITNESSED THIS THING FROM START TO FINISH; FOR THE WORD OF GOD CANNOT POSSIBLY FAIL. THEREFORE AS WE GO INTO THIS MESSAGE, I HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT SETTING THE DATES FOR IT TO TAKE PLACE, BUT RATHER, JUST POINTING TO THE FACT THAT THE TIME IS AT HAND.

WHEN IT COMES TO A REVELATION OF THE GODHEAD, AND HOW YOU ARE GOING TO HANDLE TRUTH. IT IS ONE THING TO KNOW THE TRUTH; BUT IT IS AN ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT THING, TO TAKE A STAND FOR THAT TRUTH IN THE FACE OF OPPOSITION AND PERSECUTION…

I HAVE CHOSEN THIS TITLE, BECAUSE I FEEL THAT WE SHOULD DEVOTE THE ENTIRE MESSAGE TO DEALING WITH THIS GREAT CONTROVERSY OVER WHETHER GOD IS ONE SPIRIT, TWO PERSONS, THREE PERSONS, OR A HALF DOZEN; AND WHETHER GOD IS A HE, OR A SHE.

There is a point I want to get to; concerning how we are to see that throne. We are to see God in all the demonstration of His majesty and authority and deityship. We have to see that in all the characteristics of what is described here; the position of the throne, and such like…

I believe when we get this message finished, some people are going to realize that they have no time left to just play around with the Bible, nor play around with God. The message of the Bible is clear…

I want to go back to the 17th chapter of the book of revelation, and show you why the Catholic Church will not read it. In 96 A.D., the last patriarch alive was a very old man. We do not know how old he was; but he had walked with Jesus throughout His 3 1/2 years of ministry. He was the last one who was an eye witness of what happened from the very beginning, up until that hour…

My objective, in dealing with this subject, however long it may be, is to try to point us to the reality of what is written in the Bible, and how we should look at it. Not only does it contain a message of salvation, it also contains a message of what God has purposed to do in, and through those who have this salvation…

We will go to the 12th chapter of Hebrews for a text, and the title of our message is, “GOD TRIES US ALL.” Not because He does not like us, but because He does. He does not try us because He does not know what we will do, nor what we are; for He does know. He tries us because He is teaching us certain things that are necessary…

We will begin by reading verses 28 & 29, from the 8th chapter of Romans; and we want to emphasize the fact that the apostle Paul was writing this to Christians in Rome…

IN THIS DAY AND HOUR WHEN SO FEW PEOPLE SEEM TO BE ESTABLISHING THEIR HOMES UPON THE GODLY PRINCIPLES SET FORTH IN THE BIBLE IT IS NO WONDER THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE SO LITTLE PEACE IN THOSE HOMES. NATURALLY, PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE FAMILY OF GOD’S REDEEMED CHILDREN CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO USE THE BIBLE AS A HANDBOOK ON HOW TO HAVE A HAPPY HOME…

Notice in verse 15, not only does this image have the ability to speak, it is already speaking. We can see this from how it is speaking in church systems, and how it is working in political movements. Keep in mind, the end purpose is yet in the future…

I want to deal with the subject written in the 13th chapter of the book of Revelation. I pray that as you read this, God will help us as mortal creatures or recognize the hour in which we live…

During those three years of time Paul had spent out there in the Arabian Desert after his conversion, God gave him a complete revelation of what those Old Testament scrolls meant, as they pointed to the Messiah, and to the redemption of lost mankind; and even sitting there in a Roman jail, he was able to fulfill the office God had called him to minister in…

Let me assure you that there is only one bible faith, and what we are going to call your attention to is all these other so called faiths in the world of religion today are actually against the true faith…

BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING IN THE HOUR OF TIME WHEN MANY PROPHECIES OF THE SCRIPTURES ARE BEING FULFILLED, I FEEL THAT WE SHOULD ONCE AGAIN CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO SOME THINGS THAT ARE SURELY JUST AHEAD. WE ARE TITLING THIS MESSAGE, “JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT WHORE,” AND NATURALLY IT IS THE ONE SPOKEN OF IN REVELATION, CHAPTER 17…

SCATTERED THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT ARE VARIOUS STATEMENTS, THAT TAKEN BY THEMSELVES, LEAVE A QUESTION IN OUR MINDS. THE QUESTION OF HEADSHIP IS ONE OF THE THINGS A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM NEVER TO GET STRAIGHTENED OUT IN THEIR THINKING

We ended part 1 of this message talking about how, to the natural eye, it looks like there are multitudes of Christians in the world today, but close examination reveals that an awful lot of them are just people with a lot of ideas about religion…

WE PRINTED A MESSAGE SOME TIME AGO, TITLED, “CHILDREN OF LIGHT,” IN WHICH WE DEALT WITH THE PROPHECY IN ZECH. 14:6-7, THAT WE ARE GOING TO USE IN THIS MESSAGE ALSO…

The title of this message may sound strange, but if you followed along with us this far, I believe you can see that what we are dealing with really points to the necessity of us getting ourselves cleaned up, spiritually speaking. Your flesh can be perfectly clean, and your inner man be in bad need of cleansing…

“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, EVEN AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, and gave Himself for it; THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY and CLEANSE IT (How?) WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD.”

“Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” We do not have to wait for the Lord to anoint us to obey His word; once we have the revelation of it. For these epistles were written in order that true children of God might know how to live, how to walk, how to conduct ourselves, and how to look at each other, and see the grace of God at work.

let us read verse 17 and see where Paul begins to narrow this thing down. Remember, he is writing to born again believers, and this was before there ever was such a thing as a tare sitting among them; so whatever we see here, was written to the true children of God….

“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”

We ended part one looking at a few verses in John, chapter 17, where Jesus was praying to the Father, as the time drew near for Him to lay down His life for the sins of lost mankind…

The world is full of people who will say, sure I beleive in God. But when you open the Bible and try to present a true revelation of what is recorded therein, they will draw a line, and forbid you to cross it….

“But shun profane and vain babblings, for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” That is verse 16 of 2nd Timothy, chapter 2. Now surely no one would think that he was meaning more ungodliness in the sense that they would drink more, or smoke more, or gamble more. No. He was talking about how that certain kind of mind is always surmising, projecting ideas that are food for thought, like some of the great theologians of our day…

Does God remove names from the Book of Life? People ask these questions when they read the last verses of Revelation 22: Does God remove names from the Book of Life? What does it mean, add to and take aware from the words of this prophecy?

THE TITLE FOR THIS MESSAGE CAME TO ME WHILE I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW EVERYTHING IS RUN BY COMPUTERS IN OUR DAY, AND HOW THOSE COMPUTERS GET MESSED UP AT TIMES. ACTUALLY, COMPUTERS HAVE CREATED A LOT OF LAZY MINDS, TO THE POINT WHERE THOSE WHO PROGRAM THEM SEEM AT TIMES NOT ABLE EVEN TO RATIONALIZE…

I take no particular pleasure in tearing up your golden streets, just for the sake of wrecking something; but for too long people have written songs and painted pictures portraying this city of Revelation, chapters 21 and 22, as such a literal thing; it is time for true saints of God to see it for what it really is…

We come from many walks of life, with all kind of ideas about the bible, mainly as a result of what we have been taught by those religious systems in our former years. But we are rapidly approaching the end of the age, and the true children will have a proper understanding of the scriptures….

We received a letter from a man, a minister that has been on the Contender mailing list for quite some time now. He was here on Sunday morning when I preached a message, and as I now look back over some of the notes the man sent, I realize that there are actually some things in the Bible , that when you begin to preach them, people start to get nervous…

As we deal with this subject on how God reveals Himself, I pray that He will enable me to say these things in a way that young people can understand. Because if Jesus tarries His coming, you young people should be among those walking the earth…

When I started this message I never dreamed it would be so lengthy. But there are so many avenues to cover, it seems like there is just no place to end it,..

We are dealing with this message on the body of Christ and we want to cover every aspect of it. Therefore I will use a number of practical illustrations to make certain points. First we realize the body of Christ is a universal body…

We are on a message dealing with the true body of Christ, what it is, how it functions, who is in it, and where it finally end up…

Brothers and Sisters: I want us to look at some scriptures, and consider some things that are going to affect the Church before she leaves here in the rapture. I have said many times, We have never yet seen the true church of Jesus Christ in action…

IN PART 2 OF THIS MESSAGE, WE REACHED THE POINT WHERE CAIN AND ABEL CAME TO WORSHIP THE LORD GOD. CAIN BROUGHT AN OFFERING FROM THE WORKS OF HIS OWN HANDS, AND GOD REJECTED IT, THE SAME WAY HE REJECTS MAN’S WORKS STILL TODAY. ABEL BROUGHT A LITTLE LAMB…

Let us open our bibles to Genesis 1:2, and read that verse at this time. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” That is a picture of what the earth looked like during the Ice Age, that scientists speak of…

CHRISTIANS ARE ONLY ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS, AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO BE AT THE MERCY OF ANY EVOLUTIONIST, FOR THERE WAS A PREHISTORIC AGE, BEFORE GENESIS 1:2, AND ONLY GOD KNOWS HOW MANY MILLION YEARS ELAPSED BEFORE TIME REACHED THE POINT OF GENESIS 1:2….

I AM FORCED, BY CIRCUMSTANCES, TO TRY TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS THAT SEEM TO BE CAUSING SOME FOLKS A LOT OF TROUBLE. WHO IS THE SON OF MAN, THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT? DOES THAT TITLE BELONG ONLY TO JESUS THE CHRIST, OR COULD IT BE RIGHTLY APPLIED TO BRO. WILLIAM BRANHAM ALSO? WHY DO SOME SAY THAT BRO. BRANHAM WAS GOD?

Billy Graham published a book on this subject a few montsh ago. Your great bible scholars of the day take it upon themselves to teach this subject, but I have news for them. God already has a program scheduled, and is the exact opposite of what their picture says…

IN PART ONE OF THIS MESSAGE WE WERE ENDEAVORING TO TIE TOGETHER THE CHAIN OF EVENTS THAT WILL FOLLOW THE FULFILLING OF CHAPTER 10, THE CHAPTER FROM WHICH WE TOOK OUR TEXT, AND WE GOT OVER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL, WHERE THE FOURTH TRUMPET ANGEL SOUNDED HIS TRUMPET, SO WE WILL PICK UP RIGHT THERE, AND CONTINUE. BUT FIRST, LET ME REMIND YOU, THAT THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO DEAL WITH THE MYSTERY OF GOD MENTIONED IN OUR TEXT. WHAT IS IT?

AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER WE HAVE ALL HEARD SOMEONE MENTION THE MYSTERY OF GOD, AND MOST OF THE TIME IT HAS BEEN IN RELATION TO REVELATION 10:7, A VERY CONTROVERSIAL VERSE OF SCRIPTURE AMONG THE RANKS OF PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THE TEACHING OF THE LAODICEAN CHURCH AGE MESSENGER, BRO. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM…

IT IS NOT MY PURPOSE TO UNCHRISTIANIZE ANYONE, NOR TAKE AWAY FROM ANYONE, ANYTHING THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE LORD, BUT TO HELP EVERY TRUE CHILD OF GOD GET A VISION OF GOD’S FINISHED PRODUCT, STRICTLY FROM A BIBLE STANDPOINT.

IN THE LIGHT OF CURRENT EVENTS, AND THE REALIZATION THAT THEY DEFINITELY ARE POINTING TO THE END OF THE AGE, I WANT TO TAKE THE 12TH CHAPTER OF DANIEL FOR A TEXT, AND DEAL WITH A MESSAGE THAT WE WILL TITLE FROM A PHRASE FOUND IN THAT CHAPTER, “THE WISE SHALL UNDERSTAND.” THIS WAS WRITTEN MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE THE FIRST ADVENT OF CHRIST, AND IT IS SPEAKING OF A PERIOD IN TIME THAT WOULD BE MORE THAN 2,500 YEARS IN THE FUTURE. BUT IT JUST SHOWS HOW PRECISE GOD IS, IN THESE THINGS, FOR SIX HUNDRED AND SOME YEARS LATER, HE HAD THE APOSTLE JOHN WRITE SOME MORE, DEALING WITH THIS SAME SUBJECT, AND MENTIONING THE SAME ANGEL, AND THAT IS FOUND IN THE 12TH CHAPTER OF REVELATION, WHICH WE WILL ALSO LOOK AT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MESSAGE

Open your Bibles to the 16th chapter of Matthew, and let us read one of the most controversial questions that has ever been asked of those professing to be believers, a question Jesus put to His disciples one day, and a question that can only be answered properly by a person who has a genuine revelation in their spirit…

WE HAVE TRIED TO TAKE TIME ENOUGH TO FILL IN MANY OF THE DETAILS THAT A FIRST TIME READER OF A MESSAGE LIKE THIS WILL NEED; THEREFORE WE JUST PRAY THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN BORING TO YOU WHO MAY HAVE ALREADY KNOWN MOST OF THE BASIC FACTS WE HAVE PRESENTED. BUT WE FEEL THAT THE TIME IS SHORT, AND THAT EVERY TRUE CHILD OF GOD SHOULD BE ARMED WITH A GENUINE REVELATION…

Before Satan could lead the church off into darkness, there were three main doctrines he had to get away from them, the one God revelation, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and the Lord’s supper. All of those saints in the first age had a true revelation of these great doctrines of the New Testament church, and that is why it took Satan so many centuries to pervert them…

Let me take you back to the 7th chapter of Daniel and review a little of what we published last issue and then I will read some excerpts from history to back up what I have been saying to you about the Catholic Church and especially about the popes that have ruled that Antichrist system for centuries…

Let us read our text now and then we will go back to the prophecy of Daniel to begin our message. “And the beast was taken, (not the man, but the world system over which the man rules) and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshiped his image…

We are still on the subject of divine healing, endeavoring to present enough scriptural evidence to convince true Bible believers that there is no doctrine of divine healing taught in the Bible. There are many examples of divine healing to be found in the scriptures, and we know that God is a healer, but what we need to get settled in our mind, is that He cannot be forced to honor any man’s doctrine on the subject…

We ended part one of this message dealing with Jeremiah 8:22, where the Lord is figuratively speaking of the nation of Israel as though she is physically sick, and inquires of them, “Is there no balm in Gilead, is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?” That verse alone should be enough for us to realize that God is not against physicians and medicine…

Realizing that there is much controversy among the various divisions of religious beliefs on the subject of divine healing, and realizing also there is a bible answer that should settle minds of every true believer, i feel compelled to deal with the subject, using all the amplifier scriptures, and using others that are seldom considered, and I pray that in doing so, we can establish once and for all what divine healing is, and what it is not.

As we have pointed out many times before, Bro. William Branham was the prophet messenger to this age of Laodicea, therefore he had to feed both elements of believers, truth for the genuine believers, and something else for the make believers to feed upon. That is the only way you can reconcile dual statements made upon the same subject, when one statement will always line up perfectly with the word of God.

This is an open letter in rebuttal to a booklet submitted by Mr. A.W. Post and Mr. Tom Marshall entitled, “Branhamism, Fact or Fiction”. I am writing in defense of Bro. William Marrion Branham, who is deceased and gone on to be with the Lord

I DO NOT EXPECT EVERYONE WHO MAY HEAR OR READ THIS MESSAGE TO BE OVERJOYED BY WHAT WE WILL SAY, BUT I FEEL THAT AFTER 18 YEARS OF UTTER CONFUSION AMONG PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE FOLLOWING A MESSAGE OF TRUTH, SOMEONE NEEDS TO SAY SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP ESTABLISH THOSE WHO DO DESIRE TO FOLLOW A TRUE REVELATION. THEREFORE I COVET THE PRAYERS OF GOD’S TRUE CHILDREN, AS I ONCE AGAIN OPEN MY BIBLE TO MALACHI 4:5-6, TO READ A VERY FAMILIAR TEXT AS A FOUNDATION FOR WHAT WILL BE SAID. NATURALLY YOU WILL HEAR ME SAY MANY THINGS THAT I HAVE SAID BEFORE, BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, I BELIEVE YOU WILL HEAR SOME THINGS THAT WILL CAUSE YOU TO EXAMINE YOURSELVES, TO SEE IF YOU TRULY ARE FOLLOWING THE MESSAGE OF GOD’S 7TH CHURCH AGE MESSENGER.

WE HAVE ALREADY PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE DEALING WITH THE HUMANITY AND THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST, AND WE HAVE TESTIMONY THAT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN A GREAT BLESSING TO MANY PEOPLE BUT SOMEHOW I FEEL THAT WE CAN APPROACH THIS SUBJECT FROM A LITTLE DIFFERENT ANGLE AND OPEN UP A MUCH DEEPER REVELATION. I BELIEVE WE CAN TAKE VARIOUS SCRIPTURES, AND ALLOW THE HOLY GHOST TO PLACE THEM IN THEIR PROPER ORDER OF UNDERSTANDING TO THE POINT WHERE WE WILL GET RIGHT TO THE VERY HEART OF THIS GODHEAD REVELATION.

WE WERE JUST BARELY GETTING INTO THE PHILADELPHIA LETTER IN OUR THREE PART SERIES ON THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF ASIA WHEN HE RAN OUT OF SPACE, FOR PART 2. THEREFORE WE WILL START RIGHT OUT IN REVELATION 3:7, WHERE WE FIND JOHN WRITING TO THE SIXTH CHURCH OF THESE SEVEN CHURCHES. THIS WAS THE CHURCH THAT HAD CONDITIONS IN IT IN 96 A.D. THAT WOULD TYPE CONDITIONS IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN THE 6TH CHURCH AGE, THE AGE OF BROTHERLY LOVE. THIS, OF COURSE, WAS THE WESLEY AGE, AND THAT IS THE LAST ONE THAT HAS THE CHURCH AGE MESSENGER RECORDED IN HISTORY. BUT FOR THE LAODICEAN AGE WE DO NOT NEED HISTORY, FOR WE HAVE LIVING WITNESSES AS TO WHO THE CHURCH AGE MESSENGER WAS. THE MESSENGER HAS PASSED FROM THE SCENE, AND ENTERED INTO HIS REST, BUT THE AGE OF LAODICEA IS STILL RUNNING ITS COURSE, AND THE MESSAGE DELIVERED TO IT BY THE STAR MESSENGER WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM, IS STILL RINGING LOUD AND CLEAR TO THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR. WE DEALT WITH LUTHER’S AGE IN PART 2, BUT DID NOT READ THE PARABLE FROM MATTHEW 13:44, THAT PREVIEWED IT, SO WE WILL READ THAT ONE VERSE OF SCRIPTURE BEFORE ENTERING OUR STUDY OF THE PHILADELPHIA CHURCH, AND THE AGE IT TYPED. REMEMBER NOW, THE APPLICATION OF THIS PARABLE IS COMING RIGHT OUT OF THE DARK AGES, WHEN CATHOLICISM HAD SWALLOWED UP EVERY APOSTOLIC DOCTRINE TAUGHT BY THE EARLY CHURCH, AND HAD SUBSTITUTED THEIR MAN MADE DOCTRINES IN PLACE OF THEM.

BROTHERS ANS SISTERS: WE ARE TRULY A PRIVILEGED PEOPLE. TO BE LIVING IN THIS HOUR OF TIME, AND TO HAVE THIS PRECIOUS WORD OF GOD REVEALED TO US AS MUCH AS IT IS, IS SOMETHING THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY. WE ARE TRULY FEASTING UPON THE MANNA THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN…

SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS WE HAVE STARTED ON A SERIES OF MESSAGES, TO DEAL WITH ALL SEVEN CHURCHES OF REVELATION CHAPTERS 2 & 3, BUT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, WE NEVER SEEMED TO BE ABLE TO COVER THEM ALL WITHOUT GETTING STOPPED…

THE HUMANITY AND THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST IS A SUBJECT OF SUCH A VAST SCOPE, WE COULD EASILY FILL A HALF DOZEN ISSUES OF THE CONTENDER AND STILL NOT SAY ALL THAT COULD BE SAID ON THE SUBJECT, BUT WE WILL ENDEAVOR TO SAY ENOUGH IN TWO ISSUES TO HELP ALL THOSE WHO LOVE TRUTH, AND DESIRE TO HAVE THEIR REVELATION LINE UP WITH THE SCRIPTURES.

SAINTS: I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS TO SORT OF PROVOKE YOUR THINKING, BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GO INTO THIS VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO DEAL WITH. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE GODHEAD? DO YOU KNOW WHY JESUS HAD TO BE PERFECT MAN, IN ORDER TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE UPON EARTH?

SAINTS: I WANT TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION BEFORE I EVEN START TO DEAL WITH OUR ANNOUNCED SUBJECT. IN WHAT WAY ARE YOU, AS AN INDIVIDUAL BELIEVER, WATCHING FOR THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH? THIS SUBJECT IS VERY MUCH TALKED ABOUT IN OUR DAY, BUT SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE BORN AGAIN COME UP WITH, CAUSES ME TO WONDER IF THEY KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT IT. EVEN SOME WHO YOU KNOW SHOULD KNOW BETTER, STILL SPEAK OF IT AS SOMETHING THAT COULD TAKE PLACE JUST ANY MOMENT. IT IS MAINLY FOR THIS REASON THAT I FEEL LED TO DEAL WITH IT AT THIS TIME.

WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY WHEN THE TERM, “BORN AGAIN,” IS SO COMMONLY USED, THAT IT IS TAKEN VERY LIGHTLY AMONG MOST CIRCLES, YET TO BE SCRIPTURALLY BORN AGAIN, IS TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND THAT BRINGS UP ANOTHER CONTROVERSY…

We ended part three looking at the things that began to transpire when Bro. Branham died among the people who claim to follow his teachings. I consider it my God appointed responsibility to speak out against error and false doctrine some have came up with…

As I sat and listened to Bro. Branham preach, I became completely convinced that a person would absolutely have to have the Holy Ghost in order to understand what he was saying, and why….

Having brought our story of the life and ministry of Bro. William Marrion Branham through the World War 2 years and into the year 1946 in our last issue, we want to pick up in that same year, and continue from there as the great healing revival begins…

Every man that played a major role in the reformation has been given a place in the history books so mankind could read what they did, but Bro. William M. Branham, God’s prophet to this age, has not. Most of what the world has heard comes from the mouth of a bunch of fanatical preachers. In this message we are going to share the truth about him…

I HAVE PREACHED ON THIS BEFORE, AND WE HAVE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF IT IN PRINT, BUT IF THE LORD WILL ENABLE ME TO SAY TO YOU, WHAT I SEE HERE, I BELIEVE IT WILL PUT A PICTURE TOGETHER THAT WILL HELP YOU SEE WHAT IS SHORTLY TO COME TO PASS, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I WANT TO USE THE LAST FIVE VERSES OF THE 39TH CHAPTER OF EZEKIEL FOR A TEXT, AND TITLE THE MESSAGE “WHEN GOD IS SANCTIFIED.” NOT THAT GOD HAS ANY NEED TO BE SANCTIFIED IN THE SENSE THAT WE THINK OF SANCTIFICATION, BUT HE IS THE ONE THAT WILL BE SET APART, IN THE SIGHT OF MANY NATIONS…

As we go into this part of our message, we want to show how the author of life dwelling int eh lives of believers actually caused them to exemplify Jesus Christ in their daily lives…

Have you ever stopped to wonder why theologians from various denominations have so many different versions of the word of God? Have you ever considered the fact that none of their theology has ever produced a genuine revelation from God’s word? Do you know what actually got the human family off course?

We are living in a day when the judgement of God is putting a huge question mark in the minds of many people. Tradition has always held that judgement was only for the ungodly sinners, but by the help of God, we are going to show some of the ways that God’s judgement happens even among those of his own house…

As we continue our search for Eden. Let me remind each and every one of you, that this Bible is a very important book. There are any answers to be found, they will be found right there, within its pages. That is why the devil tries so hard to get people out of it…

I want to say a few words before I actually start dealing with our subject for this message. Much of what you will read in this article, you have read before in other messages, but I have purposed to approach these various points from a little different standpoint, in order to give every Christian person who reads it, a chance to question their own thinking…

IN PART 1 OF THIS MESSAGE WE TRIED TO GIVE A LITTLE PROFILE ON ALL THAT IS SHOWN ON THE CHARTS, ON PAGE 4 & 5, KNOWING THAT WE COULD NOT POSSIBLY GO INTO A LOT OF DETAILS AND STILL HAVE ROOM FOR THE CHARTS

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS IN REALITY A LOVE LETTER TO THE BRIDE OF JESUS CHRIST? ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE WHO ALWAYS SAY, I DO NOT BELIEVE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND THAT BOOK OF REVELATION?

HAVE YOUR EVER WONDERED WHAT JESUS MEANT WHEN HE SAID, THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN: SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS PREACHED, AND EVERY MAN PRESSETH INTO IT? HAVE YOU WONDERED HOW A PROPHET WITH AN OLD TESTAMENT ANOINTING COULD FIT SCRIPTURALLY INTO THIS AGE? I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE; THEREFORE, BY THE HELP OF GOD WE WILL TRY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, AND HELP YOU TO SEE GOD’S PURPOSE IN IT ALL….

WHAT ARE YOUR CONVICTIONS CONCERNING HOLINESS? DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS JUST FOLLOWING A SET OF MANMADE RULES, OR IS IT A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EVERY INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIAN AND GOD? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN SOMEONE MENTIONS HOLINESS?

IN THIS LITTLE MESSAGE WE WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND ALSO THE GIFTED MEN THAT GOD HAS SET IN THE CHURCH FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE LIVING ELEMENT OF HIS BODY IN THESE LAST DAYS.

THIS IS A SHORT LITTLE MESSAGE, BUT I FEEL THAT IT CAN BE VERY MEANINGFUL TO SOME WHO HAVE NOT YET CAUGHT A REVELATED VISION OF THE VARIOUS POINTS WE WILL COVER.

Open your Bibles to the 17th chapter of Revelation, where we will begin reading with verse 8. Maybe we should read three verses from chapter 13, to get the setting. This is the aged apostle John, writing these words. Verse 1, “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns…

In part 1 of this message we concentrated on the first human vessel that Satan used in fulfilling the abomination that maketh desolate. In this issue we will continue our examination of the expired years and the second human vessel that Satan used to fulfill that abomination…

You all know the story, how this Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus, in about the 12th year of his reign, suddenly got the idea to levy an extra tax on the whole world, and how that caused Joseph and Mary to be in Bethlehem, waiting to pay their taxes, when Jesus was born. God did not have to say, “Now, Augustus, there is a certain portion of my word that must be fulfilled, so you do thus and so.” No! That is not the way God fulfills His word. When time comes for a certain prophecy to be fulfilled, God just withdraws His restraining hand and allows greedy politicians and ruthless radicals to bring about circumstances that move right into the stream of fulfilling prophecy…

SINCE NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY NOR THE HOUR WHEN JESUS WILL COME AGAIN, LET US TAKE THE WORD OF GOD AND ESTABLISH THE SEASON THAT HE WILL COME IN. THE BIBLE GIVES US THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES THAT WE ARE TO LOOK FOR, IF WE WANT TO KNOW THE APPROXIMATE TIME, AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO CONCENTRATE ON IN THIS MESSAGE…

WE HAVE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THE DAY AND HOUR WE ARE LIVING IN. I BELIEVE IT WILL HELP ANSWER MANY QUESTIONS IN THE MINDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE AWARE OF THE GREAT ECUMENICAL AND CHARISMATIC MOVE IN THE WORLD OF RELIGION.

What is the Holy Ghost? What will He do for the believer? How can he dwell in a believer? Do you have to speak in tongues to receive the Holy Ghost?

TRADITION HAS BLINDED THE EYES OF A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO STAND DESPERATELY IN NEED OF AN ANSWER FROM THE WORD OF GOD ON THIS SUBJECT: THEREFORE I PRAY THAT I CAN SAY EXACTLY WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD HAS LED ME TO SEE IN THE SCRIPTURES.

SOMEONE HANDED ME AN ARTICLE FROM A READERS DIGEST MAGAZINE LAST SUNDAY AND AS I READ THAT ARTICLE, IT JUST KINDLY SET MY MIND TO THINKING. WE LIVE IN AN INTELLECTUAL AGE WHEN SCIENTISTS AND ARCHAEOLOGISTS AND A WHOLE HOST OF OTHERS ARE TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER A THEORY THAT WILL EXPLAIN THE FOSSIL BONES, TEETH AND SKELETONS OF PREHISTORIC ANIMALS THEY ARE FINDING IN VARIOUS PLACES ON THE FACE OF THIS OLD PLANET. OF COURSE THOSE PEOPLE WILL NEVER ACCEPT ANYTHING THAT A PERSON SUCH AS YOU AND I MIGHT SAY, AND EVEN A LOT OF CHRISTIANS WOULD MAINTAIN THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH PRESUMPTION INVOLVED IN WHAT WE SAY ON THE SUBJECT.

A message on the resurrection seems to be right in order for the day we are living in, for I believe it is close at hand…

WE ARE LIVING IN AN AGE WHEN WOMEN ARE PUSHING THEMSELVES AHEAD OF MEN IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE. THEY CALL IT EQUAL RIGHTS, BUT I ASK YOU, IS IT THAT? HAS IT STOPPED WITH EQUAL RIGHTS, OR DO THEY NOW HAVE THE UPPER HAND? LET ME ASK YOU ANOTHER QUESTION; WHERE IN THE BIBLE DO YOU FIND GOD GIVING WOMEN EQUAL RIGHTS WITH MEN? WE WILL SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THIS AS WE GET INTO THE MESSAGE, BUT OUR MAIN GOAL IN PRINTING THIS ARTICLE IS TO HELP OUR SISTERS IN CHRIST FIND THEIR GOD ORDAINED PLACE IN THE CHURCH, IN THE HOME, AND EVEN IN SOCIETY IF YOU WILL PAY CLOSE ATTENTION. WE WILL USE SCRIPTURE FOR WHATEVER WE SAY. IT WILL NOT BE JUST MY OPINION, BUT RATHER, WHAT THE WORD OF GOD HAS TO SAY ABOUT THESE THINGS. TUNE YOUR SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING AND WE WILL START THE MESSAGE.

IN PART ONE OF THIS MESSAGE WE GAVE PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE IDENTIFYING OF VOICE, VOICES, TRUMPET, TRUMPETS, THUNDER AND THUNDERS FOR THESE WORDS HOLD THE KEY AS TO WHO IS DOING THE SPEAKING. WE ALSO PLACED SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE FACT THAT THEIR VOICES, AS FOUND IN REVELATION 10:3, DEFINITELY POINTS TO THE VOICES OF MORE THAN ONE, AND THE FACT THAT IT IS THUNDERS, UTTERING THEIR VOICES, LETS US KNOW THAT THE VOICES ARE SPEAKING ON THE BEHALF OF GOD.

DEAR READERS: PLEASE DO NOT MISTAKE THIS MESSAGE AS JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF THE SEVEN THUNDERS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE FUSSING ABOUT. IT IS NOT THAT AT ALL. IF YOU WILL BEAR WITH ME, I INTEND, BY THE HELP OF GOD, TO SHOW YOU THAT IT IS SCRIPTURALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE SEVEN THUNDERS OF REVELATION 10:3, TO HAVE UTTERED THEIR VOICES SIXTEEN YEARS AGO, OR ANY TIME SINCE FOR THAT MATTER. YOU READ THIS ARTICLE WITH AN OPEN MIND, AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO BE TROUBLED WITH THUNDERS ANYMORE. TAKE HEED NOW AND YOU WILL BE IN A BETTER POSITION TO HEAR THEM WHEN THEY DO SOUND T-H-E-I-R V-O-I-C-E-S. A WORD TO THE WISE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT.

AS WE CONTINUE IN THIS MESSAGE, PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT OUR SOLE PURPOSE IN DEALING WITH THIS SUBJECT IS TO HELP THOSE WHO DESIRE TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES WHICH DEAL WITH THE GODHEAD. THERE HAS BEEN A GREAT CONTROVERSY AMONG PEOPLE OF THE CHURCH WORLD AS TO WHETHER GOD IS ONE OR WHETHER GOD IS THREE PERSONS CO-EXISTING, EQUAL IN AUTHORITY AND EACH ONE OF THE THREE PROPERLY REFERRED TO AS GOD…

WE ARE APPROACHING THIS SUBJECT DEALING WITH THE ONENESS OF GOD IN AN EFFORT TO TRY AND HELP THE LARGE NUMBER OF SINCERE BELIEVERS WHO DESIRE TO KNOW THE TRUTH, BUT IF GOD SHOULD SO DESIRE TO USE THIS ARTICLE TO PUT TO SILENCE THOSE WHO WILLINGLY TEACH THE DEVIL’S PERVERTED VERSION OF THE GOSPEL, THAT IS ALRIGHT WITH ME…

We are going to deal with a subject that has generated quite a bit of controversy, especially in the Pentecostal circles, ever since Bro. William Branham made the statement that he did not believe that hell is eternal…

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO VISUALIZE A CITY FOURSQUARE, MEASURING TWELVE THOUSAND FURLONGS, AND DESCENDING TO EARTH FROM OUT OF HEAVEN? IF YOU HAVE, I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND THIS MESSAGE TO BE VERY ENLIGHTENING. WE HAVE TAKEN IT VERSE BY VERSE, AND TRIED TO SHOW THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CITY DESCRIBED BY THE APOSTLE JOHN IN REVELATION, CHAPTERS 21 & 22. PLEASE READ IT PRAYERFULLY, AND STUDY THE SCRIPTURE VERSES USED, FROM YOUR OWN BIBLE, AND THEN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR COMMENTS, WE WILL BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU.

WE ARE PRESENTING THIS MESSAGE TO YOU IN AN ATTEMPT TO CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION, SOME THINGS IN BIBLE PROPHECY THAT MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS WE WILL DEAL WITH THE LAND, THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS, THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES, GOD BEING SANCTIFIED IN THE EYES OF THE HEATHEN, AND MANY OTHER INTERESTING EVENTS THAT ARE JUST AHEAD…

THE WOMAN IN REVELATION CHAPTER 12 HAS BEEN A GREAT MYSTERY TO SAINTS OF EVERY AGE, AND THIS LAST AGE SEEMS TO BE NO EXCEPTION. VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THAT WOMAN AS THE NATION OF ISRAEL, BUT IF YOU WILL READ THIS MESSAGE, I BELIEVE THE PICTURE WILL CLEAR UP SOMEWHAT FOR YOU. WE WILL SHOW YOU WHAT THE SUN REPRESENTS, THAT SHE IS CLOTHED WITH, ALSO THE MOON THAT IS UNDER HER FEET.

It has always been the devil’s business to take the things of God, pervert them, and cause mass confusion among mankind with the perversions. That is what has happened with Malachi 4:5-6. God truly did send us a prophet with the spirit of Elijah to turn us back to the word of God…

MARK 16:14-20 WE ARE PUBLISHING THIS MESSAGE, WITH THE SINCERE HOPE THAT IT WILL HELP SOME OF YOU TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND WHERE YOU STAND. WILL YOU STAND FOR THE WORD OF TRUTH, OR MUST YOU HAVE THE SIGNS AND MIRACLES, EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF SACRIFICING TRUTH IN ORDER TO BE WHERE THEY ARE? READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE CHARISMATICS, THE FOOLISH VIRGINS, THE ACTIONS THAT FOLLOW GENUINE FAITH, AND WHAT WORLD RELIGION IS DESTINED TO DO. THEN, IF YOU FEEL THAT THE BIBLE TEACHES DIFFERENT FROM THIS, WE WOULD BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU. WE FEEL THAT THOSE WHO DISAGREE OUGHT TO HAVE SUFFICIENT SCRIPTURE TO ESTABLISH THEIR DISAGREEMENT, AND NOT JUST AN OPINION. DO ALL ROADS REALLY LEAD TO ROME? IS GLOSSOLALIA, ONE OF THOSE ROAD BUILDERS, AND WHERE DOES MR. PENTECOST FIT INTO THE PICTURE? THEN, LASTLY, JUST WHAT IS GOD OBLIGATED TO CONFIRM? YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWERS IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES.

We have just finished printing the message dealing with the tree of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and now we would like to devote this message to the 144,000 men who are sealed in their foreheads during the first half of the 70th week of Daniel…

INTRODUCTION WHAT WAS MAN’S ORIGINAL SIN? WHAT PART DOES THE TREES IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN PLAY IN IT? WHO WAS THE FIRST MURDERER? WHAT WAS THE SERPENT? DO YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS? IF YOU DO NOT KNOW, THEN READ THIS ARTICLE PRAYERFULLY FOR THE ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS, AND THE MANY OTHERS THAT ARE ANSWERED AS WE DEAL WITH THE SUBJECT OF THE TWO TREES WHICH WERE IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN. WE WILL ALSO SPEAK OF THE NATURAL PROCESS OF EVOLUTION, THE NEW BIRTH, THE SONS OF GOD, AND THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN, CHROMOSOMES, THE INHERITED NATURE OF MAN-KIND AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE FEEL WILL BE OF INTEREST AND HELP TO YOU WHO READ THE ARTICLE.

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT THE STATEMENT MADE BY THE APOSTLE PAUL IN 2ND CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER 12, VERSE 7, WHERE HE SPOKE OF A THORN IN HIS FLESH? WE WILL TRY TO ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT MAY HAVE COME TO YOUR MIND ABOUT THIS SCRIPTURE AS WE DEAL WITH THIS MESSAGE. WE WILL JUST LET THE BIBLE SPEAK FOR ITSELF, AND TRUST GOD TO LEAD US TO THE SCRIPTURES THAT WILL MAKE THIS STUDY MEANINGFUL TO EACH OF YOU…

What is Divine Love? The world has plenty to say about love. It has become the main theme of many people, yet they seem to have no biblical understanding of what love really is. Their concept of love is based solely upon human emotions, rather than the nature of the Spirit of God. They forget that Jesus said “If you love me, keep my commandments.” With the help of God, we will clear up some misconceptions that some have of the word LOVE.

In a day when so many preachers and individuals are saying that we no longer have any need for the Old Testament part of the Bible, I still find many beautiful types set forth in it that pertain to the Gentile bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. One of which, I would like for us to look at together at this time…

We are entering into the 3rd part of our message, hoping that we can say something that will help clear up much of the misunderstanding that is associated with the late ministry of God’s prophet messenger to this age, Bro. William Marrion Branham. In the 1st part, we established, by the scriptures, that this age of grace to the Gentiles started with apostles, and certainly, the scriptures will testify to the fact that it will end with the apostolic ministry that God has set in the church for the perfecting of the saints, in the lead…

Since we are publishing this message in a three part series, we have held this second part to dealing with the faith of the apostolic fathers. We have attempted to show what they believed, hot they came to believe it, how they conducted themselves in their day, and what has happened to the truth that they stood for…

We are publishing this article, primarily, for the purpose of establishing the office of an apostle, what it is, what it is for, what it has been in the past, and what it is in our day…

There is much controversy as to where Israel fits into the world picture. It is our aim in this message to draw your attention to the fact that Israel is the key to future world conditions…

A question that came to me recently has caused me to search the scriptures concerning the verse that read, IF WE SIN WILFULLY….. You will find in the letter to the Hebrews the scripture for our thought today…

There will come a day when the bride will have seen enough that she will begin to look up, knowing that the time is at hand for her to take her flight…

We can say that this book was the last revelation, prophetic wise, ever given to the church the universal church of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. The last revelation they had ever received up until a few years ago. After this book was written in letter form and sent to the seven churches, it later was recopied and sent to other churches, then later it was added to the chronology of the sacred writings…

IN GENESIS 3:15, WE HEAR GOD SPEAKING TO THE SERPENT LIKE THIS, AND I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND THE WOMAN, AND BE TREES THY SEED AND HER SEED. HE SHALL BRUISE THY HEAD, AND THOU SHALT BRUISE HIS HEEL…

Turn to Revelation 13 where we will study the final drastic results of the last system of numbers on this earth. Those numbers are three digits, 666…

What is the mystery of God that should be finished spoken of in Revelation 10:7? Who does this mystery involve, who does this mystery affect, and what is the key that unlocks the mystery? These and other questions we will attempt to answer while studying together Revelation 10:7

Oftimes when people are approached and questioned concerning their lukewarm condition dealing with their relationship toward God and asked if they don’t realize they should not grow cold and indifferent, immediately one of these many excuses begin to be given…

Choosing our text from Luke 17:26, we hear Christ declaring, as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man. They did eat. They drank. They married wives. They were given in marriage until the day Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all. Verse 28, Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built. But the same day Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all…

There are all kind of teachings in the world today concerning salvation. And certain scriptures always seem to be more appealing than others to certain people. The Bible has the answer but the important thing is, we must examine the word in its correct setting.

Christ was born sometime in the early fall months in Bethlehem of Judaea, a small town approximately six miles from Jerusalem, which is approximately 105 miles from Nazareth the hometown of the Virgin Mary who bore Christ…

For ages, Christianity as well as the Old Testament Jewish saints have all believed that someday there would be a resurrection of the dead, but not until Paul’s revelation unto the church was it known the order of the resurrection and that God intended to have a translation (or catching away) of the living saints who were pleasing unto him…

Christ’s mission on earth had been to present the Father’s word to chosen apostles who were elected to carry on in His stead in the grace age and a prayer of blessing is given in their behalf in John 17. Christ permitted the chosen apostles to take His revelation and present it to the hungry multitudes who would believe on Him through “THEIR WORD”. Satan slowly through the years, worked his way into the church fellowship changing “THEIR WORD” over to his (the devil’s word), and through the antichrist led the church into the dark ages. Through the more than 400 year Reformation Period, God, by degrees restored “THEIR WORD” back among the believers. However, it was not until the end of the age when God sent the spirit of Elijah into the earth that all the restored teachings of the Reformation, which was the framework of the revelation of apostolic faith, should be taken out of denominational settings and all restored truth of ‘THEIR WORD” placed correctly and scripturally into one message and given unto a people at the end of the age. Thus, we examine the event of “THEIR WORD” which opened the age as well as closing it out.

Turning into the book of Amos 3:7 you will find the basis for our thought today. All of us, I am sure have one desire or goal in mind and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ! We can not merit that desire through our own good works. it is only by the grace of God can we achieve. Only then are we able to yield ourselves to him in order to allow Him to plant His revelation in and through our lives. Then and only then will we grow in the knowledge and stature of the Lord Jests Christ.

How often we read over something, never once laying any importance on some certain word (such as woe) when that may be the very word which holds the key to unlock the hidden mystery. The word WOE found in Rev. 8:12-13 under the fourth trumpet has something important for us to understand…

In Matt. 13:36-41, Jesus has dispersed the multitude at the Sea of Galilee and entered into a house. His disciples puzzled over the parable of the tares In the field asked him to explain it…

Winding up his third missionary journey, Paul, having stopped off at Corinth, Greece, was visiting the European churches he had founded on his second journey in that area when he writes the letter to the church at Rome expressing his desire to visit them and also in Rom. 11:25-27 shares with the church at Rome, made up partially of Jews, a most startling revelation. Rom. 11:25-27 declares – would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery (uncovered secret). What mystery is Paul referring to?

For the basis of our study today we are discussing one of Christ ‘s most profound and puzzling parables recorded in Matt. 13:36. Isn’t it strange that no other parable of this segment of seven recorded here ever puzzled the disciples as did this second one concerning the wheat and tares growing together.

No other nation in the history of the world can open an inspired book such as the Bible and see their history from beginning to end, their victories, their failures, sins and problems as can this one little nation, Israel, which today is the hotspot of the world. Israel’s history is recorded in the Word of God! Gentiles have often looked upon the Jewish race with great amazement wondering how it was possible they could have overlooked Christ’s first coming seeing there were so many signs pointing to that first event. never once taking into accountability that we gentiles are faced with the same situation in respect to Christ’s second coming.

What are the seven parables of Matthew 13? Why has Jesus listed them in this order and why are only seven parables listed here? This great chapter in Matthew consists of only seven small parables yet in order to understand them in the light our Lord projected them we must first get the thought he had in mind…

Because the nature of this article will be controversial, whatever is taught we desire it to be stated in connection with the light of the Biblical picture presented in God’s Word. Much to day is being propagated in the way of liberation for women, sexual equality in all phases of life. But I ask you one question, is such a goal scriptural? Is it in the will of God that women be_equal with men in all these aspects, in other words, can a woman be equal with man and be in the will of God? WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURES?

In the light of all kinds of Gentile Christianity today, turn with me into the Bible and let us allow the word of God to present a picture of something and secondly let us closely examine that picture, not as so many people do today who try to interpret something out of scripture strictly on the basis of what they see going on in the religious world today. No, you don’t interpret the Bible in the light of what you see going on! You do , just the opposite-you interpret what you see going on by the Bible to know whether it is correct or not.

Let us study this passage of scripture together and see if we can’t recognize our day to be the time period Paul spoke of when Satan would deceive and mislead something. What is that something which will be deceived? Understand, it is not the world being misled or deceived…

Last month, we concluded Part 1 of IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS NOT SO with the teachings of Christ being presented unto Israel a nation of believers subject to the law and discovered no new teaching or revelation on the subject had been given, instead Christ simply verified the teaching of Moses…

When Jesus stated, “in the beginning it was not so”, it must be remembered Christ was by no means trying to establish that a man himself must return to things as they were in the beginning before sin entered into the picture….

WHAT WERE THE THINGS OF CHRIST WHICH WERE FIRST IN GOD AND LATER PLACED BY THE SPIRIT INTO CHRIST’S MYSTICAL BODY ENABLING THEM TO DO GREATER WORKS THAN CHRIST IN HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY?

FOLLOWING THE RESURRECTION, CHRIST APPEARED UNTO HIS DISCIPLES TO PRESENT HIS GREAT COMMISSION. WAS IT PRESENTED IN ONE SESSION OR DID IT REQUIRE MANY? WAS HE PRESENTING ONLY ONE COMMISSION OR SEVERAL? WHERE DID JESUS DECLARE THE FIRST PLACE THIS GOSPEL MUST BE FULFILLED? READ THE AMAZING STORY IN WHICH GOD HID THE TRUTH IN THE WRITINGS OF FOUR MEN!

Bro. Raymond Jackson continues sharing his eyewitness account of the ministry of Bro. William Branham during the 1950s.

Accurate testimonies of what early believers saw and heard produced a new faith to the world. End-time believers also saw and heard something in the ministry of William Branham. What has it produced?

WHAT ASTOUNDING CLUE, REVEALED IN REVELATION 11:2, DEALING WITH A PRECISE, ALLOTTED 42 MONTHS PERIOD, INDICATES WHEN ISRAEL’S 3RD TEMPLE SHOULD BE ERECTED? FURTHERMORE, WHAT DID GOD REVEAL THROUGH ZECHARIAH & HAGGAI, HIS TWO (2ND) TEMPLE RESTORATION PROPHETS IN 512 B.C. CONCERNING A LATTER HOUSE AS WELL AS TWO MIGHTY PROPHETS BEING ON THE SCENE WHEN ISRAEL REBUILDS HER TEMPLE?

Does the Bible teach everyone who professes to love the Lord will be in the Bride of Christ? If so, why does Matt. 25 teach at the end of the age there will be a group of converted, clean, virtuous people referred to as FOOLISH?

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LATTER PART OF THIS PRESENT LUKEWARM CHURCH AGE WHICH POSITIVELY IDENTIFIES THE AGE WITH THE SPIRIT RULING OVER THE LAODICEAN CHURCH OF ASIA MINOR SOME 40 YEARS AFTER ITS BIRTH?

Turn with me to Revelation 2 where we shall endeavor to teach a subject concerning a certain influential church called Ephesus, which was founded in the first Gentile age on Paul’s third missionary journey. Here it was that God lit Himself a spiritual candle which shined throughout all Asia for three years…

THE DAY OF THE LORD IS A BRIEF GLOBAL AFFAIR EXPRESSING GOD’S WRATH IN VARIOUS FORMS UPON SINNERS TO THEIR DESTRUCTION! IT IS A DAY WHEN SINNERS ARE SO FRIGHTENED BEG FOR ROCKS AND MOUNTAINS TO FALL UPON THEM IN ORDER TO HIDE THEM FROM GOD’S WRATH…

HOW DID THE LORD OF GLORY BECOME THE SECOND ADAM THROUGH BIRTH OF WOMAN AND RETAIN A SINLESS BLOODSTREAM NEEDED FOR SACRIFICE? HOW DOES HIS FIRST AND SECOND ADVENT FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION GIVEN UNTO THE FIRST ADAM AND HIS BRIDE IN GEN. 1:27?

Odd as it may appear, I would like to speak upon the subject FROM HIS SIDE HE TOOK EVE. What does such a subject teach us? Furthermore, what can we hope to learn from such a topic? To get our setting we should turn first into the letter to the Ephesians…

A STORY OF TWO GENERATIONS AND WHAT EACH REAPED BECAUSE OF THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARD GOD. ONE A PATHETIC GENERATION OF UN-BELIEVERS WHO, AFTER WITNESSING THE MIRACULOUS POWER OF GOD, FAILED THROUGH FEAR AND UNBELIEF, THUS BEING OVERTHROWN IN THE WILDERNESS ONLY TO HAVE BECOME AN EXAMPLE UNTO ALL WHO WALK CONTRARY TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (II Cor. 10:6-11, Hebrews 3:7-19). THE YOUNGER GENERATION, SEEING THE MISTAKE OF THE FIRST, PROSPERS GREATLY AND DOES THE IMPOSSIBLE. HOW DOES THE NATURAL CONQUERING OF JERICHO ON THE 7TH DAY APPLY SPIRITUALLY TO THE HOUR IN WHICH WE LIVE? WHAT DOES THE LONG BLAST OF THE RAMS HORN ON THAT 7TH DAY IMPLY?

LITTLE IS EVER STATED ABOUT DANIEL 9:26. HOWEVER THIS VERSE HOLDS THE KEY TO VERSE 27. LINKING TWO MYSTERIOUS CHARACTERS TOGETHER AND CONNECTS BOTH VERSES TO ROME. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Of all prophets, John alone referred to an object in Christ’s hand called the fan. What is it and to what purpose is it used? What generations shall feel its blowing effects?

WHAT HAPPENED IN NIMROD’S REBELLIOUS, ANCIENT KINGDOM OF BABYLON, WHICH HE FOUNDED, THAT CAUSED ALMIGHTY GOD TO TAKE DRASTIC STEPS SCATTERING ALL THE PEOPLE AND CONFUSING THEIR LANGUAGE AFTER HAVING BLESSED MANKIND?

For centuries, men had toiled under the harsh rule of the Church to win salvation by good works. One day the Word of God as revealed through Saint Paul found audience in the devout heart of a young monk named Martin Luther…

HOW DOES THE FIVEFOLD MINISTRY IN EPHESIANS 4:11 LINK WITH CHRIST AND HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY? WHAT MINISTRY DID GOD PREDESTINATE AND ORDAIN TO GUIDE, PROTECT AND PERFECT THE BODY OF CHRIST? HOW LONG WAS THIS MINISTRY TO BE EFFECTIVE?

CHRIST STANDING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GRACE AGE AS RECORDED IN MATT: 24, PEERS THROUGH THE AGE UNTO THE VERY END AND PROPHECIES EVENTS WHICH ARE SIGNS POINTING TO THE CLOSING OUT OF THE AGE IN RELIGION AS WELL AS THE WORLD. HUNDREDS OF SERMONS HAVE PORTRAYED THESE SIGNS CONCERNING WORLD EVENTS…

What does such a subject teach us? Furthermore, what can we hope to learn from such a topic? To get our setting we should turn first into the letter to the Ephesians. Actually if Ephesians Chapter 1 is looked at correctly it could easily be the Genesis of the New Testament…

Who is the author of sex? Was it originally God’s plan or introduced later? How was the commission of Genesis 1:28 originally to be carried out? What was God’s original purpose in woman? Why was Christ born of a virgin woman? Rev. Raymond Jackson looks at the answers to these questions in this edition of The Contender.

SEVEN THINGS TO TRANSPIRE WITHIN THE 70TH WEEK ARE AS FOLLOW—(1). ISRAEL’S MANY WARS ALREADY FOUGHT SINCE 1948 UNTIL THE 70TH WEEK BEGINS FORCES HER THROUGH ECONOMICAL PRESSURES TO SIGN WORLD PEACE TREATY WITH ANTI-CHRIST. (2). THAT POLITICAL JEW (NOT ORTHODOX) BECAUSE OF POLITICAL PRESSURE WILL SELL THEIR NATION DOWN THE DRAIN. (3). BECAUSE THE WORLD CRYING FOR PEACE IN THAT HOUR WILL CAUSE ISRAEL TO FOLLOW SUIT TO KEEP FROM BEING A BLACK SHEEP AMONG THE NATIONS AND BOYCOTTED. (4). ISRAEL’S TWO PROPHETS APPEAR ON THE SCENE PROPHESYING FOR 1260 DAYS THUS BEGINNING THE SOUNDING OF SEVEN TRUMPETS IN REV. 8 & 9 (trumpets sound because of Israel’s disobedience). (5). WORLD CHURCH WILL BECOME COMPLETELY APOSTATIZED BEING FILLED WITH ALL WORLDLINESS AND SATANIC POWER. (6). MIDDLE OF PROPHETIC WEEK FALSE PEACEMAKER BREAKS COVENANT WITH ISRAEL, KILLS HER PROPHETS OF REV. 11 AND DESTROYS ALTAR SACRIFICE AND TEMPLE WORSHIP (Dan. 9:27) CAUSING JERUSALEM TO BECOME AN INTERNATIONALLY CONTROLLED CITY FULFILLING REV. 13:4. (7). TRUMPETS AND VIALS BEGIN TO SOUND SETTING STAGE FOR THE LORD’S RETURN.

In case you may feel this title a bit catchy, allow me to say, it is no more catchy than when John the Revelator spoke of the beast which was, is not, and yet is! Or again when he stated the 8th head is of the 7th and what about Daniel’s language concerning his vision of the same beast when he said, out of the 10 horns came another little horn, yet there still remain only 10 horns on the beast…

INTRODUCTION–THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL—ARE THEY TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS LITERAL WEEKS OR A PROPHETIC PERIOD OF TIME WHEREIN GOD HAS DESIGNATED TO USE ISRAEL? HAVE ALL SEVENTY WEEKS REACHED FULFILLMENT, IF NOT WHAT PERIOD IS LEFT REMAINING? WHAT ARE THEIR MR IMPORTANCE? HOW DOES ONE DETERMINE THE BEGINNING POINT FOR THESE SEVENTY WEEKS? WHAT ROLE DID THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE PLAY IN THESE WEEKS AND HOW DOES THIS REBUILT TEMPLE DIFFER WITH THE ONE SPOKEN OF IN JOHN 2? WHAT ROLE DID NEHEMIAH PLAY IN THESE WEEKS? THE MESSIAH, WAS HE CUT OFF AT THE CLOSING OF THE 69TH OR 69 1/2 OR FULL 70TH WEEK? THE prince WHO BREAKS THE COVENANT WITH MANY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 70TH WEEK, ARE WE TO UNDERSTAND THIS TO BE THE TRUE CHRIST OR THE ANTI-CHRIST WHO OFFERS PEACE TO ISRAEL? WHAT TWO INDISPUTABLE REASONS MAKES IT TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIGURE PROPHETIC TIME BY THE JULIAN CALENDAR? WHAT STARTLING DISCOVERY WAS MADE IN THE 16TH CENTURY BY CHRONOLOGISTS THAT UPSET THE TIME OF THE BIRTH OF CHRIST AND THREW B.C. AND A.D. TIME OFF 4-6 YEARS? HERE IS AN UNFORGETTABLE SUBJECT TO DETERMINE HOW MANY LITERAL YEARS ACTUALLY FELL BETWEEN THE REBUILDING OF THE CITY OF JERUSALEM AND THE CUTTING OFF OF THE MESSIAH. THE DISCOVERY OF TILE YEARS BETWEEN THESE TWO PERIODS WILL INDISPUTABLY DISTINGUISH TILE TRUE PROPHETIC WEEKS USED UNTIL THE TIME OF THE DEATH OF CHRIST.

WHAT THREE THINGS MUST BE FOUND IN THEIR PROPER SETTING BEFORE ARMAGEDDON CAN BE FOUGHT? WHAT DOES GOD MEAN BY THE PHRASE “PREPARE WAR” SEEING RECORDED HISTORY OF THE WORLD SHOWS ONLY 8 PERCENT OF PEACETIME? WHAT TWO POWERFUL FORCES SHALL BE PRE-EMINENT IN THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON?

WHAT THREE STEPS CONSTITUTES THE PREPARATION FOR A WEDDING? WHAT IS THE WEDDING GARMENT AND HOW, WHEN, AND WHERE DOES THE BRIDE RECEIVE IT? WHAT CONNECTION DID THE PROPHET MESSENGER OFFICE OF MALACHI 4:5-6 AND REVELATION 10:7 HAVE WITH THE BRIDE AND HER GARMENT?

Closely examining Luke 1:17 and Matthew 17:10-13, one discovers John the Baptist fulfills the first phase of Malachi 4:5-6. Who will fulfill the second part? What is meant by turning the hearts of the children to the fathers?

MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD, WHEN, WHERE AND HOW HAS BEEN A TOPIC MUCH DISCUSSED BY HOLY GHOST BELIEVERS THROUGHOUT THIS TWENTIETH CENTURY. WILL SOME MIRACULOUS END-TIME REVIVAL, ACCOMPANIED BY POWERFUL DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, PRODUCE THESE SONS, AS TAUGHT BY CERTAIN TEACHERS? THE 144,000 OF REVELATION 7 AND 14. ARE THESE THOSE MANIFESTED SONS? IF NOT, WHO DOES THE SCRIPTURE PROCLAIM TO BE THESE MANIFESTED SONS? WHAT ROLE DOES ADOPTION, THE HOLY SPIRIT, RESURRECTION, TRANSLATION PLAY IN THIS MAGNIFICENT ROLE OF GOD IN PRODUCING THESE SONS?

I want to deal with a thought we shall entitle, “The Shaking of All Things”. Only a few people realize that God is actually going to shake everything. In this message I want to deal on everything being shaken that can be, and it is important you realize in what degree, or in what sense everything is to be shaken…

WHY DID CHRIST USE A GRAIN OF WHEAT IN ILLUSTRATING THE GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN? Matt. 13:24-30, Mark 4:26-29. WHAT DOES THE SEED, THE BLADE. THE HUSK, THE POLLINATION PERIOD AND THE REPRODUCED WHEAT TEACH US CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

Daniel 9:24 – Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

ALTHOUGH THIS ENTIRE PARABLE IS DISCUSSED, THE MAIN EMPHASIS CENTERS AROUND A MAN INVITED TO A WEDDING WHO REFUSED TO ATTEND IN PROPER ATTIRE. FOR CENTURIES MANY QUESTIONS HAVE ARISEN CONCERNING THIS INDIVIDUAL: 1. WHO DOES THIS INDIVIDUAL REPRESENT? 2. HOW DID THIS PERSON GAIN ENTRANCE WITHOUT THE PROPER WEDDING GARMENT? 3. WHY WAS HE INSPECTED? 4. WHERE WAS HE WHEN INSPECTED? 5. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM AFTER INSPECTION? DOES THIS PARABLE HOLD ANY APPLICATION FOR US TODAY? WE RECOMMEND TWO PREVIOUS ISSUES OF THE CONTENDER TO SHED MORE LIGHT ON THIS TIMELY SUBJECT–“THE GARMENT OF THE BRIDE, FOOLISH VIRGIN AND JEW” and “THE MYSTERY OF ELIJAH’

WHY DID CHRISTIANS OBSERVE THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK AND NOT THE JEWISH SABBATH THE LAST DAY OF THE WEEK AS THE DAY OF REST AND WORSHIP? To go into this we would definitely need some reason for trying to discover why they did so—what motivated it and why does it exist as it is today?

MALACHI 4:5, 6 -FOR MILLENNIA HAS REMAINED A MYSTERY. WAS MALACHI REFERRING TO THE LITERAL RETURN OF THE PROPHET ELIJAH OR MERELY HIS SPIRIT? HOW WAS IT BELIEVED? HOW WAS IT FULFILLED? WHY WOULD AN ANGEL REFUSE TO QUOTE THIS ENTIRE VERSE? WHO ARE THE FATHER AND THE CHILDREN SPOKEN OF HERE?

WHAT CONNECTION DOES EASTER HAVE WITH THE TRUE PASSOVER SEASON AND THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST? WHAT PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE DID THE ALMIGHTY HAVE IN CHOOSING THE 14TH DAY FOR THE PASSOVER?

THE SPIRITUAL CLOTHING OF THE BRIDE, FOOLISH VIRGINS AND THE JEW. WHEN AND HOW WAS THIS SPIRITUAL CLOTHING RECEIVED? WHAT MATERIAL DOES THE APOSTLE PAUL COMMAND THE CHURCH TO WEAR? WHAT PART DOES THE OVERCOMER PORTRAY IN THE BRIDE OF CHRIST?

WHAT DOES THE STORY OF HOSEA PORTRAY IN THE LIGHT OF ISRAEL’S FUTURE? HOW COULD THE DESTINY OF A NATION HINGE ON A MARRIAGE? READ HOW THE BIRTH OF THREE CHILDREN AFFECTED A NATION. WHICH PART OF HOSEA’S MESSAGE DID H. W. ARMSTRONG, EDITOR OF THE PLAIN TRUTH, AND OTHER BRITISH ISRAELITE TEACHERS FAIL TO RECOGNIZE?

Israel has witnessed Miraculous miracles over her past 21 years history surviving three wars that sought her utter destruction. Why has God befriended Israel while Satan has sought desperately to destroy her? What miraculous event is prophesied to occur shortly in Israel which shall affect them religiously?

Strange doctrines float through the Christian realm—One such teaching disturbing the people striving to be Bride material finds its roots in Rev. 12. This group teaches this mysterious women in Rev. 12 is the church and the man child born unto her is the supernatural element within the church who is going to be used to bring about a world wide revival with supernatural signs and wonders. According to this teaching these people are looking for a great world sweeping revival — according to this latter rain teaching, This man-child is supposed to be the element of an ever-coming part of the church more or less like a core from within the apple.

Translators today have used many expressions in attempt to describe the Greek word for regeneration used by the King James translators in Matt. 19 : 28—”…In the regeneration.” These expression range from age of the new creation, age of the new order of life to when the world is born anew…

A REVELATION THAT HAS CAUSED MUCH MISUNDERSTANDING. DID THE FIRST RESURRECTION TRANSPIRE IN ONE, TWO OR THREE PHASES? YOU WILL BE SURPRISED TO LEARN THESE FACTS CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE. FACTS YOU MAY NEVER HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BUT INFORMATION YOUR BIBLE HAS ALWAYS CONTAINED…

IF THE OLD TESTAMENT DECLARES SATAN TO HAVE BEEN CREATED PERFECT IN THE DAY OF HIS CREATION AND REMAINED SO UNTIL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN HIM—WHAT WAS THAT INIQUITY? HOW DID IT GET THERE? WHAT RELATIONSHIP DID IT BEAR TO THE REFERENCE OF CHRIST, “I BEHELD SATAN FALL FROM HEAVEN”? HOW DOES IT BEAR REFERENCE WITH CHRIST ACCUSING SATAN OF BEING A LIAR AND MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING? READ THIS AMAZING STORY OF HOW INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN LUCIFER AND WHAT IT CAUSED!

READ THE AMAZING STORY OF HOW ONE ACT OF SIN CURSED THE ENTIRE LIFE OF ONE AND CHANGED THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY. The word Eden as referred to in Genesis 2, must be understood as to where man had his origin of beginning in God’s created plan. Reading from Genesis 2:7-9…

I am going to read the thirteenth and the fourteenth verses of Daniel 7. These are the verses that actually are the center, I don’t mean it is placed center within the chapter, which strategically, they are; but I mean they are the center verses that show forth the key to the chapter.
