401 SPOKEN.WORD.ORIGINAL.SEED.title
JEFF.IN V-3 N-2 62-0318E
109-3 144 See now, why I have been so zealous of the kind of seed that
I have planted for the body? The rain's going to fall pretty soon; I mean
the real rain. And it's got to have Seed to fall on. I hope I live to
see it. Do you understand now? It will be the living Word as it was at
the beginning, the spoken Word of God, have His power; for it is in Him
in His own body, working His own way. Look to the promises that God gave
this body.
109-5 145 Now, we're coming to something. We're coming to Mount Zion now.
Let's look what He said to this Body--I mean virgin born.
402 SPOKEN.WORD.ORIGINAL.SEED.title
JEFF.IN V-3 N-2 62-0318E
121-3 178 Like the mighty anointed prophet Moses knew God would use him,
for He had proved Moses to be His servant by his peculiar birth. At the
right time that if--deliverance for Abraham's seed was at time. (Are you
getting it?) Moses never stayed in Egypt and argued his Scriptural points
with them. He never fussed with the priests, but he went to the wilderness
and waited on the Lord until the--until the people was ready to receive
him. He had come to testify of them, but they would not receive him. God
called His prophet to the wilderness. God had testified He had chose him,
but the waiting was not by Moses, but for the people to get ready to receive
Moses. Moses thought the children would understand that he was sent. (I
never wrote it; He did.) So is it now.
121-4 179 Like Elijah, after that mighty vindicated prophet that the Word
of God came to had finished preaching his message to the modern American
groups of the first lady with her bobbed hairs and Jezebel paint groups,
God confirming His prophet; every time he prophesied, it was the Truth...
God had to call him off of the field until He plagued that generation
with mighty plagues for rejecting the message of His prophet and the Word
of God that He'd sent to them.
God sent him into the wilderness in hiding. Not even the king could call
him out. And them that tried to persuade him against the will of God died
for doing so. (Oh, God. Whew. Umph.) But when God spoke to His faithful
prophet by a vision, out of the wilderness he come with THUS SAITH THE
LORD. What did he do? Straight to the Word; back to the Word he went,
brought the twelve stones and rolled them together.
122-2 180 Like John the Baptist, Christ's faithful forerunner, the anointed
prophet, no school of his father, no school of Pharisee, no denomination
could call him from the wilderness where God had sent him until he heard
the Voice of God, the Messiah's Lamb.
Are you listening spiritual mind? What more could I say here? I'm skipping
something here, now.
403 SPOKEN.WORD.ORIGINAL.SEED.title
JEFF.IN V-3 N-2 62-0318E
124-3 189 Remember Moses, born for the work, had to wait on God for the
extra gift for the job. (He had to go back and wait.) And for the time
appointed by God a certain Pharaoh had to be on the throne. And the people
had to be wanting the Bread of Life before God would send him back. Now,
with thousands of sign-workers in this last day has created a generation
of sign-seekers that knows no more, nothing about the true move of God
in His Word in these last days.
404 SPOKEN.WORD.ORIGINAL.SEED.title
JEFF.IN V-3 N-2 62-0318E
125-3 193 As the end time prophecies will repeat, I believe, as the first
forerunner came from the wilderness and cried, "Behold the Lamb of
God," the second forerunner will probably do the same by pointing
the people to a Word born Bride. The Bride of Christ will be pointed to
the skies at the appearing of Jesus, screaming, "Behold the Lamb
of God," will come forth from his lips. God help us to be ready for
this near event.
125-4 194 Now, I better leave it from right here.
405 WISDOM.VERSUS.FAITH.title
JEFF.IN V-3 N-17 62-0401
31-5 083 A Levite was... Nothing but a Levite was supposed to touch that
Ark, and here the Ark was coming right back for a revival, and one outside
of that tried to handle the Word. That goes to show that only the anointed
of God is to touch that Word. These creeds and denominations got no business
tampering with It. Just the Holy Spirit is got a right to that Word; and
it's death for any other to touch It. For to disbelieve any of It or teach
It, the same will be taken, his part, out of the Book of Life. See? Don't
put your hands on It; stay away from It. Listen; believe just what It
said. Don't take nobody else's word; take what It says. Stay right with
the Word. It's death to do anything else to It.
406 QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.title
JEFF.IN COD 62-0527
729-218 084 Now, what must I do? The thing, what must I... Am--am I to
return there? Now, if God is calling me to evangelism, then I cannot be
His seer and evangelist at the same time. You just... it... The offices
won't mix; I'm--I'm just... I'm fighting the wind. If I'm going to be
an evangelist, I'll have to be an evangelist. If I'm going to be His seer,
I'll refrain to the mountains somewhere and stay away: no church, no congregation,
till I hear from the Lord; and stomp out and give it, and stomp back again.
See? One of those things, it's weighing in the balance. Or either it's
over: just has to be one of those three things, to me. The message is
finished or either I got to get one of these two things to do. I don't
know what to do.
407 QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.title
JEFF.IN COD 62-0527
731-228 088 Now, He never said, "You are evangelist," He said,
"Do the work of one." See? Now, has the time come? Shall I continue
on with that or has the time come for something else? That I know not.
408 TAKING.SIDES.WITH.JESUS.title
JEFF.IN COD 62-0601
758-68 040 Now, here we are then, right up here to the end of the time
when... If God did call me (Now listen, this is not to be repeated.),
if He did call me to be His prophet, then I'm certainly not holding the
office of one. Prophets don't evangelize. A prophet hides himself in the
wilderness alone with God, until he gets exactly directly what God wants
him do, and he stomps right out and gives his Message, and back into the
wilderness he goes again. He's not an evangelist, holding meetings and
getting cooperations and all these things like evangelists do. He don't
teach like evangelists. He has THUS SAITH THE LORD, and that's it, and
that's all. He gives it, throws it out, and lets the chips fall where
it will, and then away he goes again. Nobody knows where he's at, and
he's in isolation somewhere.
758-69 041 Now, I cannot... or... If He's called me to be that, I cannot
be an evangelist. And if He's called me to be evangelist, I cannot be
a prophet. Now, you get what I mean? I don't know what to do. I've done
reverently when He told me first, about me holding the people's hand and
praying for them, and then know the secret of their heart, and all these
different things. And brethren, that's infallible. You know that's to
be the truth. Every one of you knows that. See? And how He told me it
would blast across the world. And it's done it, just exactly. Every nation
under the heavens has heard it. Everywhere, newspapers, tape recordings,
everywhere. I don't know how it's ever done it, but throughout all the
world letters coming in and people from way down in Thailand and the Hottentots
back in there, how those missionaries has crowded back in there with those
tapes and given that interpretation of the Word. And now, we hear from
all over the world (See?), around the world. Now they--the church is predestinated
universally, everywhere. Be two in the bed, two in the field. See? Take
one and leave one.
759-70 042 Now, as I have done the work of an evangelist (And here's my
plea.), if that is pleasing to God, and I've done the work all right,
trusting that I've pleased Him, asking forgiveness for all my mistakes,
then He may be calling me from the field of evangelism to be His prophet.
Then if it is, I'll leave evangelism. But if He calls me to be a prophet,
I cannot be an evangelist. If I'm to be evangelist, I cannot be a prophet.
I'm mixing the two offices; that's where I've always fussed about. Standing
on the platform... It's never been good, successful. God has used it,
but I've never thought it was His direct will; it's been His permissive
will. Stand on the platform, a vision or two will knock you out almost.
See? And then if you tell this person how to straighten hisself up and
what to do, and then the next person stands there, he's expecting the
same thing, and you can't tell him 'less Something tells you to tell him.
And then the other people feel like you're a traitor or a backslider or--or
a--a demon or something because you don't tell them what they want to
know. See, that's not the office, the way a prophet operates.
759-71 043 A prophet stays back here till he stomps right into the hospital,
or wherever he's going, with THUS SAITH THE LORD and say it and stomp
back out again. He's no evangelist at all. He don't hold meetings and
discuss things, he's got the Word of the Lord for whoever he's sent to.If
he's sent to the White House, he stomps right up in front of the White
House and it's THUS SAITH THE LORD. If it's to the Governor of the state,
whoever it is, it's THUS SAITH THE LORD. He don't fool around with a group
of churches, trying to get them to come in and take the Word, and preach
these things like evangelists, he's not an evangelist.
So you see, brethren, that's the reason I don't call myself a prophet.
I'm not even in the office of one. See? Now, you understand what I mean?
Now, there'd be a lot go on like that for a long time, but I hope to not
take too much of your time, until I can get a little bit of this Word
I want to read tonight.
409 PATH.OF.LIFE.title
S.GATE.CA 62-0621B
E-1 001 I believe that someday the--the Gentile church will take the message
to the Jew, as the Jew gave it to the Gentiles. I believe that with all
my heart.
And then when that goes back to the Jew in full, you watch, the Gentile
door will close then, and it'll be Jews.
410 JEHOVAH.JIREH.PART.2.title
GRASS.VALLEY.CA JJ 73-106 62-0706
129 058 Now, reading the Bible, It's a love Story that God wrote to His
Church. It's God. God is love. Do you believe that? And the Bible is written
so that the educated and smart can never understand It. You have to be
in love with God to understand It. You have to have God in you. He interprets
Himself to you.
Now, it's just like I got a wife. Oh, how I love her. I love her with
all my heart. And I'll be overseas somewhere and she'll... After she gets
the kiddies to sleep, she'll write me a letter, and say, "Dear Billy,
I'm setting here tonight, I'm thinking of you. I'm writing." See,
I know what she's writing on the paper. But I know her and love her so
much till I just know her nature; I know what she means, so I can read
between the lines. See?
And God wants His Church to read between the lines, not read anything
out of It now You have to read between the lines to see what It's meaning.
Now, watch and see, find out if It doesn't.
411 TESTIMONY.ON.THE.SEA.title
SALEM.OR 62-0720
E-11 011 We're nothing waiting but judgment. Now, you mark that down and
see if Brother Branham's right or not. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. We're
headed for it, and we're going to pay for what we've done. We got too
much glamour in the church, and Hollywood and everything. God's sick and
tired of it. The last one will come in after while, and that'll be it.
E-12 012 I would like to have a time if God permits before the end time,
when I could set up a tent in a certain vicinity, and just come like,
and stay there for about four or five weeks. Just stay there where you
could have a morning session, just with minister brothers, and so that
they could teach their congregation afterwards.
Then stay in there. And someone be prayed for, and then get worse, and
don't know what it is, bring that person back into an instruction room,
and let them know. Examine them over and see what's happened. See? That's
when you--I believe we get a better results on it, like that.
412 TESTIMONY.ON.THE.SEA.title
SALEM.OR 62-0720
E-19 019 Listen, my dear friends, you people here. I'm not here because
of no place to go. I'm here because I felt led to come here. Here sets
the manager with a book full of places, world around. See? But I felt
led to come here. I come here through difficult. The brethren here, as
we was in the meeting the other morning, I hope you caught what was going
on in the breakfast. And there, seeing under difficult, they brought me
here, knowing that even before I left home, by vision seeing it.
And we're here because that God's got something here. This morning, about
eight o'clock this morning, I was caught away in a vision, and seen...
I was worried about the meeting, and I seen a woman come before me and
set down.
And she said, "It's wonderful above anything that we can think."
And I thought, "What is this?"
And I heard Him speak to me, said, "Just keep pressing on. Don't
fear. Keep moving on." So I know. I know beyond any shadow of doubt.
That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. There's something fixing to happen, or going
on here. You're either going to see a great spontaneous revival, or you're
going to see a judgment, or there's somebody that He's seeking for. There's
something. I don't know. But He's pleased with doing what we're doing
right now. Keep pulling every one you can, and try our best. That's all
we know.
413 GOD.HAS.A.PROVIDED.WAY.title
VICTORIA.BC 62-0728
E-4 004 Trying to be back again by next spring, if the Lord willing, and
He wants me to continue on trying in evangelism to--for His glory.
E-5 005 I have promised to me, to start a nice big, new tent, trucks,
trailers, and everything all paid for. Don't even have to take up offerings
for it. Isn't that wonderful? So we, trusting that that... If that's His
Divine will... We always want His will.
Then I aim to do what I've always promised: set the tent in a community
where there's no revivals, and everybody--and everybody cooperating, and
have a morning meeting just for minister brethren, talk to them, an afternoon
meeting for instruction for the healing of the sick, and then the night
service, an evangelistic service. And then let off every Sunday afternoon,
and so forth, where the other churches are having meetings. We won't interrupt
with the regular meeting of the community. And we always wanted to do
that. And then stay for a while. Just... The people don't get the idea
how to be healed. They don't understand it, and just the first time in.
And then if we teach it, and go into it in studies and so forth, I'm sure
it would help us all.
414 PERSEVERANT.title
VICTORIA.BC 62-0729
E-20 020 One of these days, God willing, and if you don't mind, and will,
and--and you'll let me come back, I'd like to come back on the island,
set up a tent somewhere, and stay four or five weeks or something, so
we can just have plenty of time.
415 PRESENT.STAGE.OF.MY.MINISTRY.title
JEFF.IN V-11 N-2 62-0908
15 009 Did you ever notice, and I never noticed it till this last May,
I never read any more of that Scripture until there? That's all I ever
read of it, 'cause that seemed like that it--it was suffices, because
it was telling me to preach the Word and to endure afflictions, and to
be long-suffering, for the time was coming when they would not endure
sound Doctrine, but after their own lusts shall heap teachers, having
itching ears, and would be turned from Truth unto fables. But now, He
never said I was an evangelist. He said, "Do the work of an evangelist,"
Paul telling Timothy. See? Did you notice how it says? He didn't say,
"Now, you have been called to be an evangelist." It said, "Do
the work of an evangelist." See? Now, we notice there then. Now,
if I would say with all my heart and the best of my knowledge, that has
been fulfilled to the letter, just exactly. And that's thirty years ago.
16 010 And so far as I know, that every vision that He's ever give me
has been fulfilled except the one that I'm a change in my ministry to
where I'm to pray for people in a little place like a little room under
a tent, or a big auditorium or something. It looked to me like a tent.
You remember that, two or three years ago? Most all of it was brought
to pass. I was to go down in Mexico, and how it would rain that night
and what would take place down there. And He told me my ministry of the
first pull. Remember about catching the little bitty fish, or missing
it? Second one was a small fish. But then He told me, "On the third
pull, don't fail. See? And don't tell people." I'm always trying
to explain what I'm trying to do. He let me know not to tell people what
you're doing. Just do what He tells me to do and let it alone. See?
416 PRESENT.STAGE.OF.MY.MINISTRY.title
JEFF.IN V-11 N-2 62-0908
120 079 Well, all men has forsaken me, but there's one thing, He stood
by me...?... one thing. I'm not... I wasn't disobedient to the heavenly
vision that's happened down there on the river. I've stayed true to it.
He's been true to me. I'm trusting in Him, someday; I don't know when,
for a crowning of my ministry. I'll stay just as true as I could be. I
don't know what it'll be; I don't know when it'll be. And I... But when
He's ready, I am. Now, look here. I hope He'll crown my ministry with
this, of letting me take the clothes of the Word and dress His Bride in
the clothes of the Word and for His righteousness. I hope He'll crown
me and let me stand there on that day, say, "Behold the Lamb of God
that takes away the sin of the world."
417 GUIDE.A.title
JEFF.IN V-12 N-7 62-1014E
35 027 And the Holy Spirit always speaks of the Word. "I've got many
things to tell you, you cannot understand it now, but when He comes, He'll
guide you to it." That's the reason the coming of the Seals. At the
finishing of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of God should be finished to
know Who God is, what He is, how He lives, His nature, His Being. You're
supposed to be all the way up here by that time (See?), bring us into
the full statue of sons and daughters of God, a Church that's washed in
the Blood of Christ, that's bought without money, is paid for by the Blood
of Jesus Christ.
418 CONVINCED.THEN.CONCERNED.title
SHREVEPORT.LA 62-1125M
E-11 011 And you know, I had a vision not long ago, a few weeks ago that
I was preaching from the sun, and had a great audience. And it will come
to pass. And I was preaching, and my audience was a--a--a cathedral in
the forest. And the sun that I was standing in was shining down on many
places. I had two climaxes to make, and I was showing them about Divine
healing, about visions, and how that God had promised, and everything.
And they was rejoicing.
But then, when I got down to make... My first climax was to tell them
that all these things was the Word. And when I got to say that, everybody
got hungry. I do preach awful long. But they got hungry and wanted to
go get something to eat, and they started going away.
I said, "Wait a minute. You haven't heard. See, I want to tell you
where it comes from. It's the Word, the Word." And when I started
to say it--talk it back about the Word, and how it was done by the Word,
everybody left. Well, that's the way it's happened. And when I was stand
there, the Scriptures come to me... (in the vision setting in a chair,
about nine o'clock one morning at my home.)
E-12 012 And then, you know, our Lord when He was His young ministry,
when He was healing the sick and everything, that young Rabbi from Galilee,
He was a great fellow. But one day He begin to get down on the Word. And
when He got on the Word, the people walked away. The seventy left Him.
And then He turned and said to twelve, "Will you go also?."
See?
Then I happened to think in my vision, "Yes, that's right. See, I
got another climax, a great climax I've got to make. See? But the sun's
a shining bright now. But the evening shadows will be falling after while.
They'll all be coming back again. Then I'll make this other climax. I
raised up my hand, and said, "Glory to God. I won't have to study
no more, because my commission in the beginning was stay with the Word,
and I'll stay with that. And then when I start again, I'll just background
what I said, and then wait for this climax." And I thought, "I
mustn't forget it." And I come out of the vision. I don't know what--what
text I had. But there's another climax coming, just as sure.
419 REMEMBERING.THE.LORD.title
JEFF.IN V-13 N-2 62-1209
16 009 And--and I'd just like to say this. I'm not going to take much
time. But I have many things I ought to say, but I'm not; it would take
too much time. But I'd like to say this; it's something that I cannot
say. There's things everyone understands that you know, and it's in the
Name of the Lord, yet you cannot say it. You see, you've got to keep it
to yourself. See? But a certain event that's moving up, and has been for
some time, that's fixing to take place, that I have been alarmed at watching
the Holy Spirit move among the people to that spot, and them knowing not
one earthly thing (See?), but see the Holy Spirit moving to that. I'll
reveal it, the Lord willing, some convenient time. Now, remember, that
shows God among them.
420 REPROACH.FOR.THE.WORD.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-16 62-1223
5-3 013 This is all still in the vision. It wasn't... See, it's in the
vision. And then all at once, as I realized that I had been... They were
around me. I couldn't see them, but I'd been brought into this constellation
of a pyramid of them, inside this constellation of--of Angels, of five.
And I thought, "Now, a death angel would be one, five would be grace."
I was thinking that; I thought, "Oh, it's the--it's coming with my
message. That's my second climax. They're coming to bring me the message
from the Lord." And I screamed out with all of my might, as loud
as I could, "Oh Jesus, what would You have me do?" And when
I did, it just--just went away from me.
421 REPROACH.FOR.THE.WORD.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-16 62-1223
6-6 017 And I thought... I was just troubled, upset. You don't know how
to think; you can't think. And I said, "Heavenly Father, if that
meant that--that an explosion was going to take me, why, let me know now,
so I won't say anything about it. Let Your glory and power come upon me
again, and lift me up again, or let Your glory come upon me, and then
I'll--I'll know then that it meant--it meant that; and so I can keep it
to myself." And nothing happened. So then I said, "Then, Lord,
if it meant that You're going to send Your messengers for my commission,
then let Thy power come again." It like to took me out of the room.
422 REPROACH.FOR.THE.WORD.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-16 62-1223
7-4 019 I thought, "This may mean now, when this vision leaves me
that I'm going to be killed by an explosion or something." I thought,
"Here I am; I'm lifted up. I'm... See, they're here somewhere. I'm--I'm
in this--this pyramid of Angels here, but I--I don't know. Maybe the Lord
is coming to take me home."
Then I heard Joseph down there saying, "Daddy?"
I thought, "No, if that's it, it would took him too."
Then something said, "You..." Remember, that I'm waiting, watching
for a message that I've always looked forward to--something.
7-7 020 In the vision the other day, you know as I had here not long ago
telling me about what was going to happen, how I was preaching in--from
the sun into this place, and--and then He said, "Now, remember, the
second climax is yet to come."
And I thought, "There'll be a message." You remember my message
here? The opening of that capstone, where those seven voices and Seals
was not even wrote in the Word of God. Remember? And It took me into that
pyramid. And Junie Jackson (if you are here), that dream that you give
me not long ago, I won't tell it this morning, you were so... God was
so perfectly... Excuse me for not giving you the interpretation, 'cause
I seen something moving.
J. T., same thing. See? And I--I--I knew that. And Sister Collins, exactly
the same. See? And six of those leading right straight to the same thing,
and then the vision that I told you all years ago, it happened just the
other day (See?), that would happen. And there it is laying right everything
laying right out there. It's just something moving. I don't know what
it is. God help me, is my prayer. Let us pray.
423 ABSOLUTE.THE.title
JEFF.IN V-3 N-18 62-1230M
35-3 097 Oh, and I remember when He swept down there in that big Light,
standing yonder at the bottom of the river, 1933, in June, when He said,
"As--as John the Baptist was sent forth and forerun the first coming
of Christ, I send you with a Message to the world to forerun the second
coming of Christ." And around the world she's went, when revival
fires had been built for fifteen years on nearly every mountain...?...
Divine healing across the nations, and the power, and restoration... And
now, I believe she's ready to strike that final climax yonder to bring
forth a faith that'll rapture the Church into glory (It's the truth.),
and She's laying in the Messages. We're really at the end time. We've
talked about it and everything, but the thing has moved upon us now. Hear
them. Yes, sir. Here's one. That's right.
424 IS.THIS.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR.title
JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
6-4 021 Now, in the 10th chapter of the Book of the Revelation of Jesus
Christ, I wish to read the first few verses, the first seven verses: 1
to 7. Listen close now and pray for me.
And I saw another mighty... another mighty angel come down from heaven,
clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face as
it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot on
the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
And he cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had
cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write:
and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which
the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
And the angel which I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted
up his hands to heaven,
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heavens, and
the thing that in them are, and the earth, and the things that therein
are, and the sea, and the things which... therein, that there should be
time no longer:
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin
to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to

33-1 089 Notice, each church age had its messenger. We know that. Paul
was the first messenger. And when the first trumpet sounded, and the first
seal was tore loose... Paul was the first messenger as we found. And what
did he do? Declare war. On what? The orthodox church for not believing
the Messiac sign that Jesus had produced to them. Why, they should've
knowed it. They should've knowed Him.
Remember Paul come at the end of the age. All messengers come at the end
of the age. It's at the end-time when these things are--are brought forth.
Paul, knowing the Scriptures, and knowing that Jesus was Messiah, and
he blasted those synagogues from place to place with the Scriptures and
was put out of everyone of them, till finally he shook the dust from his
feet and turned to the Gentiles.
33-5 090 What was it? Sounding of a trumpet, an angel messenger standing
there with the Word. Oh, my. Don't you miss that now. The Word... And
Paul with the unadulterated interpretation of God's Word, blasted every
one of them synagogues. Cost him his life.

37-3 102 Notice, Revelations 5:1. Listen at this now.
And I saw in the right hand of him that set upon the throne a book written
within... (The writing was with inside.)... and on the backside, sealed
with seven seals.
Now, there's writing on the inside of the Book, but the backside had seven
seals on the back of it that wasn't written in the Book. Now, this is
the revelator talking: John. Now, remember, it wasn't written in the Book.
"And in the days of the voice of the seventh angel all this mystery
that's written within should be finished." It should be taken care
of in that day. Now, do you see what I mean? Are you following me?
Then is the time for the seven voices of Revelations 10 to be revealed.
When the Book is finished, there's only one thing left, and that is the
seven mysterious voices of thunder that was wrote on the backside of the
Book that John was forbidden to write. Let me read it.
And I saw an angel--a mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with
a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun,
and his feet like pillars of fire.
And he had in his hand a little book open:... (See, now watch this.)...
and he set his right foot on the sea,... his left on the earth.
And he cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he cried,
seven thunders uttered their voices. (Watch.).
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write:
There was something said. It just wasn't a noise. Something was said.
He was about to write.
... and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me...
38-2 103 Look where the voices was in the thunders, not in heaven, on
earth. The thunders never uttered from the heavens; they uttered from
the earth.
And I was about to write: when I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Seal... (Capital S-e-a-l)... Seal up those things which the seven
thunders uttered, and write them not.
It's on the backside. When a book is complete... Now, He didn't say on
the front side; He said on the backside. After it's all done completed,
then these seven thunder voices is the only thing that is stuck to the
Book, that's not revealed. It's not even written in the Book.

JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
38-2 103 Oh, my. I wish I could get that to the people and could actually...
Don't fail; don't--don't fail, please don't this time. I'm fixing to leave
you. Don't fail. If you ever listened, listen. These seals are on the
backside of the book, and at the time that the seventh angel is sounding,
all the mysteries that are written in the Book is completed. And immediately,
the Book that was open and written and within, is closed. The mysteries
of God is finished; and this is the mysteries of God, the going of the
church, and all these other things. The mysteries is over.
38-5 104 When that seventh angel sounds out every mystery, it's over.
Let him be who he may. Whatever it might be. God's Word can't fail, and
He said,
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin
to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to
his servants the prophets.

JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
39-4 107 Now, there's only one thing left. That is the seven thunders
that we don't know; and it would not have thundered in vain. God don't
do something just to be playing. We play and act silly, but not God. Everything
with God is "yea and nay." He doesn't just fool. He doesn't
kid. He means what He says, and He says nothing 'less there's something
meaning to it.
40-3 108 And seven thunders right in the revelation here of Jesus Christ,
is some mystery. Does not the Bible say that this is the revelation of
Jesus Christ? Why, there's some hidden mystery then of it. What is it?
The seven thunders have it. For John was just about to write, and a voice
came down from heaven, said, "Don't write it. But seal it. Seal it
up. Put it on the backside of the Book." It's got to be revealed.
It's the mysteries.
429 IS.THIS.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR.title
JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
43-2 115 Now, look, when it is time for the seven voices, then it's time
for the seven Voices when the Book is completed of Revelations 10 to be
revealed. Now, notice, listen. Now, I won't keep you too much longer;
I know I'm wearing you out here; its twenty minutes till ten. Listen close
now. I know standing up and you all changing positions and things. I'll
be glad when the church gets fixed so we won't have to be cramped up.
We can take all day to preach it.
Now, notice. Now, note, the seven voices was thunders: blast.
God help us. If I'm wrong, Lord forgive me.
I'm asking you the question. It blasted with thunder when this voice rung
out. Did you notice that when the seven seals, that followed the seven
church ages; when the first seal was opened, that there was a thunder?
The first seals in the Book was opened, there was a thunder. Would not
the first seal on the outside Book open the same way? God doesn't change
His program.
43-5 116 Let's turn over to Revelation 6.
And I saw when the Lamb had opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it
was the noise of a thunder, and one of the four beasts said, Come and
see.
Now, there never was another thunder; and the last seal was opened, there
was space in heaven for a half hour of silence. But the first seal was
opened, there was a blast of thunder.
Oh, church, could it be? Are we that far? Friends, think. Maybe... I hope
it isn't, but what if it is? What was that blast? Before God and this
open Bible, I lie not. Blast that shook the earth, and when the first
seal of the seven that was opened in the Bible, it come forth, just one,
but a blast that shook the whole thing: a thunder. And then, if the seals
that's on the backside would open, would not it be a thunder too? I don't
know. I can't say.
There was a thunder. The first seal... And the seal was a thunder, the
trumpet was opened at that time, and the trumpet was blown at Pentecost,
of course. I won't get into that.
430 IS.THIS.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR.title
JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
44-3 118 Now, is it plain? When the first seal was opened, the seals that
was inside the Book, these mysteries that was sounded forth: justification,
sanctification, Roman Catholic church, Protestants, and when all their
little battles and things left these loose ends in the Word of God, the
seventh angel comes on and gathers them all up and explains them. See?
And then he finishes; seven thunders utter out. John started to write.
He said, "Don't write it, but seal it." And the first seal was
opened of the seals on the inside of the Book; it opened with a thunder.
431 IS.THIS.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR.title
JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
45-1 120 And then if this is a continuation for the sounding of these
last trumpets or these last seven thunders that's coming forth, the mysteries,
the last seals, it will have to compete--or compare with the rest the
Scripture. And if them first ones in there opened with a blast of thunder,
the second ones will too, that's on the backside.
Watch what happens. If the vision was Scripture, then it must be interpreted
by the Scripture, or a continuation of the same Scripture.
45-3 121 Notice, Revelations 3 and 4. Seven thunders--seven thunders and
then notice... (3 and 4). And then what? An oath from that mighty angel
that time was finished. When these thunders (You see?), brought forth
their voices, then the angel... Just think of it. A Angel clothed in a
cloud, and a rainbow covered over His head. Why, you know Who that is.
Put one foot on the land and on the sea and lift up His hand and swore
that when them seven thunders uttered their voices, that time would be
no more. And if the ministry of the mysteries of God is finished... What
if that is them seven mysteries coming forth?
432 IS.THIS.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR.title
JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
46-1 124 Where are we at, sirs? What's all of this about? I'm asking you.
The other angels was messengers, men of the earth. But this Angel... This
said, to the angel of the church of Laodicea; to the angel of the church
of Ephesus, messengers of the earth (See?), men, messengers, prophets,
and so forth to the church. But this One didn't come from the earth; He
come down from heaven, because the mystery's all finished. And when the
mystery's finished, the Angel said, "Time shall be no more,"
and seven thunders throwed their voices out.
What if it is something to let us know how to enter in to the rapturing
faith. Is it? Will we run and leap over walls? Is there something fixing
to happen, and these old marred, vile bodies are going to be changed?
Can I live to see it, O Lord? Is it so close that I'll see it? Is this
the generation? Sirs, my brethren, what time is it? Where are we at?"
433 IS.THIS.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR.title
JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
47-1 126 Time shall be no more. He announces that time is over. What happens?
What happens? Could that be so now, brethren? Seriously think. If it is,
then the pyramid is capped by the seven thunders.
You remember the pyramid message? It's the capstone. What did it do? The
Holy Spirit capped off the individual and sealed it when we added to our
faith, righteousness, and godliness, and faith, and so forth. We kept
adding to it till we got seven things, and the seventh one was Love which
is God. That's how He makes the individual. He caps him and seals him
with the Holy Spirit. Then if that be so, He's got seven church ages that
He's had seven mysteries that's been sounded away and they fought for
to bring back, and now the Headstone comes to cap off the church. Does
the thunders mean that, my brethren? Sirs, is that where we are at?
434 IS.THIS.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR.title
JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
48-5 130 Could it be that? The mighty thunder, or the seventh angel in
the seven constellation, seventh period constellation, the pyramid made
in a form, three on a side, and one on top, and they dropped from eternity.
Could it be? Is this the mystery of the thunders that will bring back
the Headstone?
48-8 131 And you know, the pyramid never was capped. The Headstone's yet
to come. It's been rejected. Could it be, brethren, sisters.
Or is this that third pull that He told me three or four years ago.
The first pull, you remember what happened? I tried to explain it. He
said, "Don't do that."
The second pull, He said, "Don't try..." And I pulled anyhow.
You remember? All of you remember; it's on tape and everything.
And then He said, "Now, there's a third pull coming, but don't try
to explain it."
You see how I approached this tonight? I don't know. But I feel duty bound
to my church to say something. You draw your own conclusion.
435 IS.THIS.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR.title
JEFF V-2 N-11 62-1230E
49-6 133 If this is the third pull, then there's a great ministry lying
ahead. I don't know. I can't say. I--I don't know.
Watch. Third pull. Let's stop on that a minute. In the vision the first
flight was little messenger birds; that was when we first started. It
growed from just taking the person by the hand. And you remember what
He told me: "If you'll be sincere, it'll come to pass that you know
the very secret of their hearts." How many remembers that announced
from here and across the nations? And did it happen? Exactly. Then said,
"Don't fear, I'll be with you." See? And it shall go on.
49-9 134 Now, the first pull was little bitty birds, them flights. They
went on to meet the time, meet the coming of the Lord, the first message.
The second time, the secrets of the heart, from taking a person by the
hand, and just standing there and saying what they had. The next time
it revealed their sins and told them what to do and make... Is that right?
Then that come to pass perfectly just as God said it, and you're witnesses
and so is the world, so is the church.
When I said, "I saw an angel, and it was a emerald fire burning,"
people laughed and said, "Billy, get next to yourself." The
magic scientific eye of the camera took It. I wasn't lying. I was telling
the truth. God vindicated it. I said, "Darkness overshadows; its
death, black; and this is white. One's life, and the other one's death."
There it is on the picture back there. That the... As George J. Lacy said:
"The mechanical eye of this camera won't take psychology." Are
you following me?
50-2 135 Notice, the first little flight: hand. The second was greater,
whiter, doves: Holy Spirit revealing the secrets of the heart. And the
third flight was angels, not birds, angels. And that's the end time. That's
all of it. Will this be the time, brethren? Is this the time?

51-5 139 Is it--is it time? Is the minist--the mystery all finished? Has

out something that the little group that He's gathered together will receive
a rapturing faith to go in the rapture when He comes; for we'll be changed
as quick as those Angels come: in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
and shall be caught up together with those that is asleep to meet the
Lord in the air.

be scared. There's nothing to be scared about. If Jesus is coming, it's
a very--it's a moment that the whole world has groaned and cried for.
If it's something breaking forth now, for a--a new coming--a new coming
of a new gift or something, it'll be wonderful. If it's coming time that
the revelation of the seven thunders will be revealed to the church, how
to go, I don't know. I have just stated what I saw.

in the west. I'm going to seek till I find what God wants me to do. If
this year doesn't settle it, then next year, without water or food, I'll
walk out into the desert, and I'll wait till He calls me. I can't go on
like this. You've got to get desperate. You've got to get to the place
where you want to know what's the will of God, and how can you do the
will, if you don't know the will? I'm progging because of that vision
background what you did (See?), going around as missionary and evangelism
until that call come.
Remember the first one when we laid that cornerstone? "Do the work
of an evangelist," He said. He didn't say you was an evangelist,
but do the work of one; perhaps until the time come for something else,
another change of work. Might be something different. I don't know.

own interpretation to it. "It don't mean this. It don't mean that."
See? It does mean that.

Thunders of Revelations 10. If you're marking it down... Let's turn to
Revelations 10 just a moment, so you'll get a understanding before we
get into it. Now, this is at the end time, for listen.
... I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud:
and a rainbow... upon his head,...
If you notice that's Christ (See?), 'cause He in the Old Testament was
called the Angel of the Covenant, and He's directly coming to the Jews
now, for the Church is finished. See? All right.
... and his face... as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
You remember that Angel in Revelations 1? Same thing. Angel is a messenger,
and He's a Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured. See?
Now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.
72-4 {32} 017 Now, watch.
And he had in his hand a little book open:...
Now, here it was closed here, and sealed, and here it's open; it's been
opened. Since that time of the sealing we're getting into tonight, now
the Book's opened. A little Book in His hand--in His... It was opened.

JEFF.IN 63-0317E
73-1 {37} 018 Now, see, the mystery of this seven-sealed Book will be
revealed at the sounding of the seventh church angel's message. See? The
seventh angel begins to sound, and there's the messages wrote out there,
and we got it in tape and book form.
Now, at the beginning of the sounding of the message, the mystery of God
should be finished (See?) at that time. Now, we will notice, the Book
of the mystery of God is not revealed until the seventh angel's message
is sounded.
Now, these points will be important in the Seals; I'm sure, 'cause it
must every bit tie together. Now, it's wrote mysterious, because no man
nowhere knows it: God alone, Jesus Christ. See?
74-1 {39} 019 Now, but it--it is a Book, a mysterious Book. It's a Book
of Redemption. (We'll get into that in a little while.) And now, we know
that this Book of Redemption will not be thoroughly understood: it's probed
at through six church ages, but at the end, when the seventh angel begins
to sound his mystery, he winds up all of the loose ends that these fellows
probed at, and the mysteries comes down from God as the Word of God and
reveals the entire revelation of God. Then the Godhead and everything
else is settled. All the mysteries: serpent's seed and whatevermore is
to be revealed.
74-2 {40} 020 Now, you see, I'm just not making that up. That's what...
It's THUS SAITH THE LORD. I'll read it to you out of the Book: the sounding
of the seventh angel's message, the mystery of God should be finished
that's been declared by His holy prophets. That's the prophets who has
wrote the Word. At the sounding of the seventh church age, the last church
age, all the loose ends that through these church ages have been probed
at, will be wound up together. And when the Seals are broke and the mystery
is revealed, down comes the Angel, the Messenger, Christ, setting His
foot upon the land and upon the sea with a rainbow over His head. Now
remember, this seventh angel is on earth at the time of this coming.

He comes from here at this last Seal. He's no more Mediator; He's King
now. And what does He do? If He's a King, He has to have subjects, and
His subjects is them that He has redeemed; and they cannot come before
Him until He takes the rights of redemption. And now, He walks forth from
a Mediator, where death put us in the grave, He comes forth with the rights.
Amen.
And even those who are alive and remain till His coming shall not hinder
them which are asleep, for the trumpet of God shall sound at that last
trumpet, when the last Seal is broke, and when the seventh angel's given
his message; the last trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall
rise, and we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with
them to meet Him in the air. He claims... He's come forth now to claim
His--His possession.
Watch, look at this. My, broke the Seals, revealed the mysteries... Revealed
them where? To the last church age, the only one that's living. The rest
of them's sleeping.
453 BREACH.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0317E
111-2 {299} 146 Talk about a jubilee, talk about a time when that Lamb
walked forth... See, the Book's even sealed in heaven, the mysteries are.
Say, "Is my name there?" I don't know; I hope it is. But if
it is, it was put on the Book before the foundation of the world. But
the first thing that represented that redemption, come the Lamb that had
been slain from the foundation of the world. And He took the Book (Glory.)
opened the Book, and tore off the Seals, and sent it down to the earth
to His seventh angel to reveal it to His people. There you are. Oh, my,
what happened? The screams, the shouts, the hallelujahs, hosannas, the--the
glories, the manifestations...
454 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
126-3 {61} 033 Here's the plan of it: The first thing happens, there is
a--a--an announcement in the heavens first. What happened? A Seal is opened.
What is that? A mystery is unfolded. See? And when a mystery unfolds,
then a trumpet sounds. It declares a war. Or a plague falls, and a church
age opened. See? What is the war part? The angel of the Church catches
the mystery of God, not fully yet revealed, but when he does, he catches
this mystery of God, and then he goes forth to the people (after the mystery
has been given to him), goes forth to the people. What does he do out
there? He begins to proclaim that message, and what does it start? A war,
a spiritual war.
126-5 {65} 034 And then God takes His messenger with the elect of that
age, and lays them away asleep, and then He drops a plague upon them who
rejected it: a temporary judgment. And then, after that is over, then
he goes on, and they denominate, and bring in denominations, and start
off with that man's work like of--of Wesley and all the rest of them,
and then it gets all in a scrapple again; and then another mystery comes
forth. Then what happens? Another messenger arrives on earth for a church
age. See?
Then when he arrives, he--the--the trumpet sounds. He declares war. See?
And then what happens? Finally then he's caught away. And then when he's
laid away, then plague falls destroys them. Spiritual death hits the church
and she's gone, that group. Then He goes on to another one.
Oh, it's a great plan until it comes to that last angel. Now, he has no
certain mystery, but he gathers up all that's been lost in them other
ages, all the truths that wasn't truly revealed yet (See?), as the revelation
come. Then he reveals those things in his day. If you want to read it,
there it is: A Revelations 10:1 to--1 to about 4. You'll get it. All right.
See?
127-3 {68} 035 Takes the Book and... of Seals and breaks them and shows
the seventh angel, for this alone, the mysteries of God, is the ministry
of the seventh angel. Now, we just come through the church ages with even
history and prove that. See? It is the--the angel's message of the seventh
church.
455 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
127-6 {72} 037 And at the end of the Pentecostal age we are supposed to
receive, according to the Word, as God help me tonight to show you through
here, that we are to see--receive a messenger that will take all those
loose ends out there and reveal the whole secret of God for the rapturing
of the Church.
128-2 {75} 038 And then there's coming forth seven mysterious thunders
that's not even written at all. That's right. And I believe that through
those seven thunders will be revealed in the last days in order to get
the Bride together for rapturing faith; because what we got right now,
we--we wouldn't be able to do it. There's something we've got to step
forward; we--we can't have enough faith for Divine healing hardly. We've
got to have enough faith to be changed in a moment and be swept up out
of this earth, and we'll find that after while, the Lord willing, find
where it's written.
456 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
137-4 {139} 065 Now, the Seal. Let's just read it a little bit now. I--I
want to--to get this... Just we'll read it. I get to talking. I...
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals... (What happened?)...
and I heard, as it was the noise of a thunder...
Oh, how I'd like to dwell on that just a few minutes. I hope now that
all the people that know these things and are waiting for the consolation
of the Lord will now study real close, and on the tapes also that you'll
think of this. The first thing happened... When that Lamb broke that First
Seal, a thunder roared.
Now, that's got a significance; it's got--it's--it's a--it's--it's got
a meaning. It's a meaning. Nothing happens without a meaning. All right,
a thunder, a thunder roared. Wonder what that thunder was?
457 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
139-1 {146} 068 When the thunder... Remember, a loud clapping noise of
a thunder is the voice of God. That's what the Bible said (See?), a clap
of thunder. They thought it was a thunder, but it was God. He understood
it, for it was revealed to Him. See? It was a thunder.
And notice, the First Seal opened--the First Seal when it was open in
the symbol form it thundered. Now, what about when it's opened in its
reality form?
458 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
139-6 {152} 071 The voice is a thunder. The voice came from where? From
the throne where the Lamb had just left as Intercessor. Now, He's standing
here to take His position and His claims. But the thunder came from the
inside of the throne, thundered out. And the Lamb was standing out here.
The thunder, where the Lamb had left, left the Father's throne to go to
take His own throne... Glory. Now, now, don't miss it, friends.
459 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
141-5 {165} 076 Now, He's come to claim His Own. So He takes the Book,
stands out there before John, and He pulls it back, and breaks the Seal,
pulls the Seal down; and when He pulls the Seal down, a thunder clapped
through the place. And when a thunder clapped, no doubt John might've
jumped up in the air, when a thunder roared; and then one of the four
beasts said, "Now, come and see what it is, what's revealed beneath
here. (Oh, my.) John, write what you see."
So John goes to look, see what it was. John goes to see what the thunder
said. It's then that this creature told John come and see what the mystery
is under the First Seal. The thunder, the voice of the Creator has uttered
it. Now, He ought to know what's there. Amen. Oh, my.
142-1 {166} 077 But think, now he wrote this, but when he started to write
those other seven thunders, he said, "Don't write it." He'd
been commissioned to write everything he seen. But when these seven thunders
over in Revelations 10 uttered, he said, "Don't write them at all."
They're mysteries. We don't know what they are yet; but my opinion they'll
be revealed right away. And when it do, it'll give faith for that rapturing
grace for that Church to move out. We just move through everything that
we know of; through all the dispensations we've watched everything. We've
seen the mysteries of God. We've seen the appearing of the--of the great
gathering together of the Bride in the last days, but yet there's something
in there that we just can't lighten ourself with. There's something another.
But I imagine when them mysteries begins to come forth... God said, "Hold
it back now. Wait a minute. I'll reveal it in that day. Don't write it
at all, John, 'cause they'll stagger over it. Just let--let it go. (See?)
But I'll reveal it in that day when it has need to done."
460 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
142-3 {171} 078 But now the Lamb is showing John in the symbol of s--of
a--of a church Scripture like, for the church (you know) what to write.
He just show him, said, "Now, don't--don't tell this, just what it
is. Don't go down, John, and say, 'Now, this is just what this is.' Now,
what's under this Seventh Seal, don't--don't go down and tell that, for
if I tell John that, then all down through the age the whole plan will
be broke: it's a secret." See? He just wants to...
His coming... He said, "I--I... Nobody's going to know when I'm coming;
I'm just coming." See, see? That's all. It ain't for my business
to know when, I'll just be ready. You see?
461 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
155-2 {259} 117 Seven thunders of revelation... May He show the Bride
how to prepare for the great translation faith.
462 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
155-4 {262} 118 Now, let us find the symbols. We found out what the thunder
means. That's perfectly; we know that. See? The thunder was the Voice
of God when the Seal opened.
463 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
158-3 {283} 124 And Jesus, His Name on earth was Redeemer, Jesus. When
He was on earth, He was the Redeemer; that's true. But when He conquered
death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on high, He received a
new Name. That's the reason they holler the way they do and don't get
nothing; it'll be revealed in the thunders. See?
464 FIRST.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0318
173-3 {387} 173 Notice, he'll conquer the whole religious world. He'll
conquer--make a covenant with Daniel's people. Here it is, both in the
Gentile and in the Daniel's people, the Jews to the last week, and here
we are, even drawed out on boards, and you see it perfectly, there's where
it is. Thank God. There he is. That organizational system is of the devil.
And that's no punches pulled on it either. (See?) It's exactly. It's a
root of the devil; it's a... And now, not people, not people in there,
them are God's people, many of them. But you know what, when we get over
here till where we get in these trumpets sounding; and the next time I
come by, these trumpets sounding. You remember when them last angels,
that third angel come across, "Come out of her my people."...
When that angel flies at the same time that message drops here for the
last trumpet, last angel's message, last Seal opens. All happens at the
same time. Yes, sir. All seals up and goes over into eternity.
465 SECOND.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0319
222-2 {329} 130 Come believe on Him if you've never... Don't take any
chance. Don't--don't... If there's anything in your life, friend, we're
here... Something is fixing to happen. I don't know why; I don't know
when. I know what's going to happen, but I don't know when it's going
to happen, but it's bound to be, because He is revealing it right now.
He doesn't do anything 'less He makes it known (Amos 3). He makes it known
first, and He promised that these things would come in the last days,
and the seventh church age, at the end of it, when the messenger's arrived,
there it would be.
466 SECOND.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0319
225-6 {350} 137 God, help our unbelief. Take it away from us, Lord. We
want to receive rapturing grace. We want to be able when that mysterious
thunder thunders out yonder, and the Church is taken up, we want to be
ready to receive it, Lord. Grant it. Try us, Lord, by Thy Word. Let us
look into It, and if we see that we have failed...
467 THIRD.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0320
236-1 {46} 024 Then the Lamb turned back again and pulled another Seal
off and here went out a black--a red horse rider. And he had a--given
a sword, and he was going to make war and given great power and take peace
from the earth and kill one another. That was kind of a--still a mysterious
thing, wasn't it when He opened it up? And then goes on and said, in the
day just before these seven thunders, all the mysteries here are revealed.
468 THIRD.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0320
253-2 {182} 072 The--the Bride hasn't had a revival yet. See? There's
been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet.
See? We're looking for it. It will take those seven unknown thunders back
there to wake her up again. He will send it. He promised it. Now, now,
watch. Now, she was--she was dead.
469 FOURTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0321
283-5 {35} 013 And now, these Seven Seals that this Book is sealed with,
and those Seven Seals... Now... And then after these Seven Seals are completed,
we find in Revelations 10 there was seven mysterious thunders that John
was commissioned to write but then forbidden to write those. And at the
time of those thunders, we find Christ, or the Angel come down with a
rainbow, and put His feet on the land and sea and swore that time had
run out at that time.
470 FOURTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0321
284-5 {42} 016 That's the way the church ages and Seals and all the rest
of it. And when anybody thinks that he has those seven thunders, if it
don't compare with the rest of the Word, there's something wrong here.
See? It's got to come THUS SAITH THE LORD, for this is the Book; this
is the revelation of Jesus Christ in its entirety.
471 FOURTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0321
285-1 {45} 018 Then the seven thunders utter their strange voices, and
John was going to write... It was... John knew what it was, but he--he
didn't write it, 'cause he was forbidden to write it. That's absolutely
and altogether a mystery. It's not even in symbol or nothing. We just
know he--it thundered; that's all.
472 FOURTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0321
287-4 {59} 025 And when God tells you anything and says, "You go
do this, and I'll be right with it for this is My Word," and He shows
it in the Bible, then God stands right behind that. And if it's not written
in the Bible, God stands behind it anyhow, if it's God's Word. See? And
then if it's outside of that, it's revealed to prophets. We realize that
all the mysteries of God is made known to prophets and them alone (See?),
Amos 3:7.
473 FOURTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0321
304-1 {179} 072 Now, we had him coming last night with his great sword
to kill. We find out that he gets killed with the Sword too, the sword
of the Word. God's Word, sharp, two-edged sword slays him, puts him right
down. Wait till them seven thunders utter their voices to that group who
really can take the Word of God and hand it there. It'll slice and cut.
And they can close the heavens; they can shut this or do that, whatever
they want to.
474 FIFTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0322
336-3 {24} 011 I believe, (I'm not going to speak it in His Name; I'm
going to speak it in my--in the revelation of my faith), what happened
in Sabino Canyon the other day... I believe that the hour is approaching
when missing limbs will be restored, and the glorious power of the Creator...
I--I believe if He can make a squirrel appear that has no... Here if the
man or woman just got a part missing, and that's complete animal in itself.
Oh, He is God. I--I love Him.
475 SIXTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0323
418-5 {189} 069 Now, I want you to notice, Jesus... (Now, about tomorrow
night on this.) Jesus omitted the teaching of the Seventh Seal. It's not
here. Watch, He goes right on with parables now, after that. And John
omitted the Seventh Seal--the Seven last--the Seventh Seal. That's going
to be a great thing. It's not even written (See?), omitted the Seventh
Seal, both of them did. And the revelator, when... God just said there
was... John said there's just silence in heaven. Jesus never said a word
about it.
476 QA.ON.THE.SEALS.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324M
458-4 {9} 005 And--and then also knowing that right among you, things
are happening (See?) that I--I'm just... I--I know... I know you, that
you don't see it. See? I'm just positive that you don't see it. See? And
you say, "Brother Branham, that's a hard thing for you to say that."
I know it is. But look; let me just say this now. I suppose this is just
tapes for ourselves and so forth. But let me say this (See?), that you--you
don't--you don't get it (See?), and you're not supposed to get it. So
don't try to interpret anything. See? Don't try to put your interpretation
to it. You only--you only get further away.
477 QA.ON.THE.SEALS.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324M
460-4 {23} 010 See, it's got to strike something first to reveal it. See?
Now, do you understand? So just don't interpret nothing. If God wants
you to know anything, He will send it to you (See?); so just be real,
real solid now. Hold still. Something has happened. And now just be real...
You understand what I mean, don't you? And just be...
460-6 {24} 011 Don't try to make yourself odd to be a Christian, because
(You see?), you take yourself away from God and you--you--you... If you
can understand it, this is that third pull. You should've caught that
the other day. See. So then just...
You remember, there'll be no impersonation like there was of the other
two. See? So that's as far as you--you should know. Now just--just remember
that you see now there's something taking place in this room, and there's
something here, there's... There's actual in this room, Angels, voice
of God (See?), but how do you... You can't... If you can't hear the natural
voice without something to send it out, how are you going to hear the
spiritual voice?
478 QA.ON.THE.SEALS.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324M
466-4 {66} 029 Now, we find out the corruption that hits in the seventh
church age... But the Seventh Seal doesn't reveal anything, what's going
to happen to it (See?), because at the end of that church age is to come
a prophetic gift to reveal these things. See? Are you following it? All
right.
479 QA.ON.THE.SEALS.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324M
467-5 {74} 034 And then just look what this little gift of healing has
done, how it confused the church. Everybody had a sensation; everybody
had this. And right down in my heart, God knows it's the truth, I knowed
it wasn't right 'cause He told me so. See? But it's a false impersonation;
it's only, throw the people off. Now, that's right.
468-1 {76} 035 Now, but see, you can't say those things; best to just
leave it alone. And you remember the third pull; it said, "Don't
tell nobody." What did I say was that... How many remembers that?
Oh, sure. Remember standing there trying to lace that eyelet in that little
shoe in the vision? He said, "You can't teach Pentecostal babies
supernatural things."
And I said this will be the third pull and it will not be known, so help
me, by the grace of God. Now, now, we're--we're right down at the end
time now. Won't be too long until mercy seat will be judgment seat.
468-3 {78} 036 Why, if you see these things coming in and these people
coming in, you better come in too if you're not already in. See? Now,
gathered in heavenly places (See?) it also means more than just to be
rejoicing. In heavenly places, if you're really assembled in Christ, it's
a fearful thing.
480 QA.ON.THE.SEALS.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324M
512-2 {332} 159 You know, really, when a person comes like this to--to
preach... I want to ask you something now so that you'll understand. When
the Elijah came from the wilderness he had one message. He stomped right
out of that wilderness, and come right down, and told that king, "The
dew will not even fall from heaven till I call for it." That's the
words he had and stomped right back out and said nothing to nobody. See?
When he had another message, he come right down and said this message,
and turned right back around, went back out into the wilderness. See?
Now, if you'll watch, when I laid the cornerstone under that Tabernacle,
He said, "Do the work of an evangelist"; and now the hour's
coming when that work is separated. There's something else taking place.
Then I'm...?... you see? See, I get here and try to do evangelist and
something else; and see where you're at? See, you're... Oh, I'm expecting
the church to be spiritual enough to understand.
481 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
531-1 {38} 016 Don't try to explain nat--a supernatural; you can't do
it. See? Only thing to do is just go right ahead. And I'll try to make
myself clear as I can; but from henceforth, I think I'll never try it
again. See? You just absolutely believe or not, and now, you'll see a
little later why.
482 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
532-5 {51} 020 Then when the Seals were open, God (notice here), He omitted
revealing even any symbol of the Seventh one. See? It's a perfect secret
with God. Notice, now we're going to read in the Bible in the--the Seventh
Seal. That's found in Revelations the 8th chapter.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about
the space of a half hour. (And that's all we have on it.)
483 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
536-4 {77} 030 Now, the--the 8th chapter only reveals the scene of--the
scene of the Seventh Seal where nothing else is revealed. Now, nothing
is not revealed in the Seventh Seal. Now, has nothing to do with the 7th
chapter of--of Revelation. It's the revealing of the Seventh Seal is perfectly
mute. And if I only had time (I'll try a few places.) to show you all
the way back from Genesis this 7th chapter--this Seventh Seal is--is spoke
of. From the very beginning in Genesis, this seventh--these Seals moved
right up.
Couldn't you remember this morning bringing these things up? And watch
tonight bringing them up, and you find out when it gets to that Seventh
Seal, she cuts off. Just... Jesus Christ, is speaking Himself, told of
the end time and when He got--told all six Seals; when He got to Seventh,
He stopped. There it is. See? It's a great thing.
536-6 {81} 031 Now, now, we're going to speak here now on this 7th chapter
just a minute to--to kinda bridge it in between Sixth and Seventh Seal,
because that's the only material that we have to go on right now, is the
Sixth--between the Sixth and Seventh Seal, is the calling out of Israel.
484 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
548-4 {173} 060 And he shall send forth his angels... (not one, see, two
of them)... with a great sound of a trumpet,...
What is it? When God gets ready to speak, there's a sound of a trumpet.
That's always His voice calling to battle. See? God speaks. These angels
will come forth with the sounding of the trumpet.
And you notice, at the last angel's message the trumpet sound: the first
angel's message, a trumpet sound; second angel's, a trumpet sounded when
he sent it out.
485 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
555-6 {229} 078 Now, we'll turn now to the 8th verse of the--or the 1st
verse, I mean, of the 8th chapter, of Revelations 8:1. (I know you're
tired. Now, just try to listen just for a few minutes now. And God of
heaven help us, is my prayer.)
We must remember that this Seventh Seal is the end of time of all things.
That's right. The things written in the Seven Seal Book (sealed up of
the plan of redemption from before the foundation of the world), it every
bit ends. It is the end; it is the end of the struggling world. It's the
end of struggling nature. It's the end of everything. In there is the
end of the trumpets. It's the end of the vials. It's the end of the earth.
It's the...It's even the end of time. Time runs out; the Bible said so.
Matthew the 7th chapter--I mean Revelations the 7th chap--10th chapter
and the--and 1 to the 7th verse. Time runs out. The angel said, "Time
will be no more," when that--in the days of this great thing to happen.
Everything runs out in this time, the end of the--of the--at the end of
this Seventh Seal.
556-2 {233} 079 Notice, it's the end of the church age. It's the--the
end of the Seven Seals. It's the end of the trumpets. It's the end of
the vials, and even ends the ushering in of the millennium; that's on
the Seventh Seal.
486 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
557-1 {241} 081 No angels singing, no praises, no--no altar service, no
nothing. There was silence, hush, deadly silence in heaven for a half
hour. All the host of heaven was silent for this half hour, when this
Seventh Seal mystery in the Book of Redemption was broke open. Think of
it; but it's broke. The Lamb breaks it. You know what? They were awed
by it, I believe. They didn't know. There it was; they just stopped. Why?
What is it?
487 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
557-3 {245} 082 And now, as certain as I stand in the platform tonight,
I had the revelation that revealed... It's in a threefold manner. That,
I will speak to you by God's help of a fold of it. And then you... Let's
go over there first. Here's the revelation to begin what... I want to
tell you what it is. What happens is that those seven thunders that he
heard thunder and was forbidden to write, that's what the mystery is laying
behind those seven consecutive thunders rolling out.
557-5 {249} 083 Now, why? Let us prove it. Why? It is the secret that
no one knows about. John was forbidding to write about it, even, even
write a symbol about it. Why? This is why there was no active in--activity
in heaven; it might give away the secret. Do you see it now? If it's so
great it must be included, because it's got to happen, but when the seven
thunders...
Now, notice, when the seven angels come forth to sound their trumpets,
there was one thunder. When Israel was gathered, there was a trumpet.
When time shall be no more, the last trumpet... One thunder, but here
is seven straight thunders right in a row: one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, that perfect number. Seven thunders in a row, uttered not...
making just--just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, straight. Then
heavens couldn't write that. Heavens can't know about it, nothing else,
because there's nothing to go on. It's a relaxing time. It was so great
till it's kept secret from the Angels. Now, why?
If Satan should get ahold of it, he might do great damage. There's one
thing he don't know. Now, he can interpret anything he wants to, and impersonate
any kind of a gift (I hope you're learning.), but he can't know this.
It's not even written in the Word. It's a total secret. The Angels, everything
shut up. If they made one move it might give something away, so they just
shut up, quit harping; everything stopped. A...
558-2 {255} 084 Seven, God's perfect number, Seven [Brother Branham knocks
six times on pulpit--Ed.] just right down the row. Seven thunders uttered
straight together like they're spelling out something. Notice, at that
time, John started to write, and He said, "Don't write it."
Jesus never spoke of it. John couldn't write it. Angels know nothing about
it.
What is it? It's the thing that Jesus said even the Angels of heaven didn't
know nothing about it. See, see? He didn't know it Himself, said only
God would know it, but He told us when we begin to see these signs coming
up... (Now, you getting somewhere? All right.) Notice, we can see these
signs coming up. See? If Satan could get a hold of it...
558-4 {258} 085 If you want something to happen... Now, you'll have to
take my word for this. If I'm planning on doing something, I know better
than to tell anybody about it. Not that that person will tell it, but
Satan will hear it. See? He can't get it in my heart there, as long as
God's got it closed up with the Holy Spirit, so it's between me and God.
See? He don't know nothing about it until you speak it, then he hears
it.
And I'll try... I'll people I'll do a certain, certain thing, and watch
the devil cut off every wheel he can to get there (See?), to beat me to
it. But if I can get the revelation from God and just don't say nothing
about it, then it's different.
Remember, Satan will try to impersonate. He will try to impersonate everything
that the Church will do. He's tried to do it. We've noticed it through
the antichrist; but this is one thing he cannot impersonate. There'll
be no mimics to this (See?), 'cause he don't know it. There's no way for
him to know it. It's the third pull. He just knows nothing about it. See?
He doesn't understand it.
559-3 {261} 086 But there's a secret lays beneath that. Glory to God in
the highest. I can never think the same the rest of my life, when I seen...
Now, I don't know what... I know the next step there, but I don't know
what, how to interpret that. It won't be long. I've got wrote down here
when it happened, if you can see here, "STOP! Go no further than
this right here."
I'm not prone to be a fanatic. I'm just telling the truth. But you remember,
the little shoe that I always tried to explain, how that the soul laid
next to so-and-so and the inner conscience and all that kind of stuff,
which it only made a big bunch of impersonations start after it. How you'd
have to take up the hand, and hold the people and have vibration, everybody
had a vibration in their hand. But you remember when He took me up there
and said, "This is that third pull, and no one will know it."
You remember that? Visions never fail. They're perfectly the truth.

559-5 {264} 087 Notice, there was only one great burst of thunder, and
seven Angels appeared. Is that right? One burst of thunder, seven Angels
appeared.
And I saw the Lamb when He had opened the First Seal, and I heard as it
was a voice of a thunder, and one of the four beasts said, Come and see.
Notice, one thunder, seven messages that's been sealed up and cannot be
revealed until the last day, at this age. See what I mean?
489 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
560-4 {275} 090 And did you notice that one Angel, I said in there, was
a strange Angel? He looked more to me than any of the rest of them. You
remember that? They were in a constellation--three on a side and one on
top. And the one right next to me here, counting from the left to the
right, would've been the seventh Angel. He was brighter, meant more to
me than the rest of them. You remember, I said he had his chest out like
that, and was flying eastward. You remember like that? And I said, "It
picked me up, lifted me up." Do you remember that?
561-1 {276} 091 Here it is. The one with the Seventh Seal, the thing that
I've wondered all my life. Amen. Them other Seals meant a lot to me, of
course, but, oh, you don't know what this has meant.
490 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
562-1 {284} 094 Now, if it said, "a Sword of a King..." but
it said, "The Sword of the King," and there's only one "the
King," and that's God. and He has one Sword; that's His Word, what
I live by. And so help me, God, standing over His holy desk here with
this holy Word laying here, It's the Word. Amen.
562-4 {288} 095 Oh, what a day we're living in, what a great thing. See
the mystery and secret? The third... Standing there, when this left me,
something just come to me and said, "Don't fear." Now, I didn't
hear no voice, like on the inside of me spoke. I just tell you the truth,
just exactly what happened. Something hit and said, "Don't fear.
This is that third pull."
Third pull, you remember it? He said, "You've had so many impersonators
on this, what you tried to explain." But said, "Don't even try
this." Do you remember it? How many remembers that vision? Why, it's
all over the tape and everywhere. That's been about six years ago--seven
years ago: been seven years ago. Said, "Don't try to explain that."
Said, "This is the third pull, but I'll meet you in there."
That right? He said, "Don't try..."
563-1 {291} 096 I was standing with a--a little baby's shoe when He told
me, there, "Make your first pull; and when you do, the fish will
run after the lure." Said, "Then watch your second pull"
said, "because there'll only be small fish." He said, "Then
the third pull will get it."
And all them ministers got around me, said, "Brother Branham, we
know you can do it. Hallelujah, Brother Branham." (That's where I
always get tied up--with a bunch of preachers. See? I love people; they
want you to explain everything, this, that.)
563-3 {293} 097 And I said, "Well, oh, all...?..." I said, "I--I
don't know." I said, "I've understand fishing." I--I said,
"Now, the first thing you do... Here's the way it's done. You see
all the fish around; you got to jerk the lure." (Well, that's exactly
the tactics of fishing.) So I said, "Jerk the lure." Now, you
see when I jerked the lure the first time, now the fish takes out after
it, but they were little ones. That's just like they were catching. So
then I--I said, "Then you'll--you'll set..." and I jerked it
out on the bank and I had a fish, but it looked like a skin over the lure;
it just--he was so little. And then I was standing there and something
said, "I told you not to do that." And I started crying.
All the line was tangled around me like this, and I had--was standing
there crying with my head down like that. I said, "God, oh, I...
Forgive me. I'm a stupid person. Lord, don't... Forgive me." And
I had this line and that, what I had in my hand, was a little baby's shoe,
about that long. And I had... That string was about as big around as my
finger, about a half inch, like. And the eyelet in this shoe was just
about the size of a--littler than one-sixteenth, probably, of an inch
of the eyelet. And I was trying to lace this little shoe up with this
great big inch cord. And a voice come, said, "You can't teach Pentecostal
babies supernatural things." Said, "Now, let them alone."
563-5 {299} 098 And just then He picked me up. And He took me up and set
me way up high to where a meeting was going on, looked like a tent or
a cathedral of some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box-like,
little place over in the side. And I seen that Light was talking to somebody
above me, that Light that you see there on the picture. It whirled away
from me, like that, and went over to that tent, and said, "I'll meet
you there." And said, "This will be the third pull, and you
won't tell it to nobody."
And in Sabino Canyon, He said, "This is the third pull." And
there's three great things that goes with it, and one unfolded today,
or yesterday, the other one unfolded today, and there's one thing that
I cannot interpret, because it's in an unknown language. But I was standing
right there and looked right straight at it, and this is the third pull
coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God... Oh, my. That's the reason all
heaven was silent.
564-2 {301} 099 Now, I--I'd better stop right here. See? I just--I just
feel checked not to say no more about it. See? So just remember, the Seventh
Seal, the reason it was not opened (See?), the reason It did not reveal
it, no one should know about it. And I want you to know before I even
knowed any word about that, that vision come years ago. You remember that?
And here it is just as this other has--slides right straight into the
Word exactly where it was. And God knows my heart; I never one time thought
of such a thing as that, and here it was. It's later than we think.
Oh, my. Just shows it's from God, for (See?), it fits exactly in the promises
of God from the end of the--the message.
You notice. Notice now, for the end of time message this Seal, after all...
He--He's revealed all the six Seals, but it don't say nothing about the
Seventh. And the end time Seal, when it starts, will be absolutely a total
secret according to the Bible. Before knowing that... And remember, Revelations
10:1, 7 (1-7, chapter 10:1-7) at the end of the seventh angel's message,
all the mysteries of God would be known. We're at the end time, the opening
of the Seventh Seal.
491 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
565-2 {307} 101 Remember, the seventh messenger was... The seven messengers
was... The noted one to me, the seventh Angel, it seemed more to me than
any. Now, see, they were standing like this (Now, we just want you to
notice.), and I was standing here, and I was watching those other... See,
one... First bunch of little birds, feathers all beat down. You remember
them? and they all flew eastward. And the second bunch were brighter,
bigger birds, looked like doves, pointed wings; they flew eastward: first
pull, second pull. Then the next was Angels.
565-4 {310} 102 And as--I was standing right there, and this explosion
left, and I was looking this way, towards the west, and they come and
just picked me up in there, and I went plumb out of my knowing. And the
one of them coming was the one that looked so strange to me, was the one
on my, be to left where I entered the constellation at, but counting from
the left to the right, it would've been the seventh Angel (See?), coming
across.
492 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
566-1 {313} 103 Notice now, to make it sure to you, so it could be driven
down... I'm fixing to leave you again. I don't know where I go. I must
preach the Gospel other places. But now, that you might say, "I've
heard all that kind of fanaticism." I don't know what. I can't judge
any other man. I only have to answer to God for what I--for--for myself.
But has there ever been one time I ever told you anything in the Name
of the Lord it wasn't right in all these years? Nobody else can say so,
because I always told it just the way He told it.
Now, let me just show you that this is exactly true and confirm it. Now,
remember, "If there be a spiritual... or a prophet, I, the Lord,
will speak to him in visions and make known to him by dreams," interpreting
dreams. Is that... Joseph, he could interpret dreams and speak and--and
see visions. Is that true?
566-3 {318} 104 Now, notice this--that now, when this taken place, Junior
was standing in a field that had a--had a big pyramid to it like that,
and there was something wrote on the rocks, and I was revealing that to
the people. Is that right, Junior? About a year before it happened...
And notice the next thing now. I took some kind of a bar and cut it off,
and on the inside was white rock that had nothing wrote on it. And at
that time I started to the west. And I told them all; I said, "Don't
go out west. Stay here and look on this till I return." Went west
for the blast, returned back to the east with the Holy Spirit interpreting
this unwritten Word. Now, if that isn't perfectly the God Almighty, I
want you to know what is. What am I trying to say this for, friends? Is
to show you we're at the end time.
566-5 {320} 105 Now, if them others is perfectly on the dot with the Word,
so is this perfectly on the dot with the Word. We are here. We're at the
end, friend. Soon it shall be time run out. Millions will lose their lives.
Millions will be--that now believe that they are saved will be counted
fodder for the atomic age.
493 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
567-1 {322} 106 Now, notice. So help me, by God I tell the truth, that
these are spiritually discerned to me (See?), discerned by the Holy Spirit.
And by every one of them, has identified his place in the Bible.
Now, what this great secret is that lays beneath this Seal, I do not know.
I don't know it. I couldn't make it out. I couldn't tell it, just what
it and just what it said. But I know that it was them seven thunders uttering
themselves right close together, just banging seven different times, and
it unfolded into something else that I seen.
Then when I seen that, I looked for the interpretation that flew across
there, and I couldn't make it out. That's exactly right, friend. See?
The hour isn't quite yet for it, but it's moving into that cycle. See?
It's coming up close. So the thing for you to do is to remember that I
speak to you in the Name of the Lord: Be prepared, for you don't know
what time something can happen.
567-3 {325} 107 Now, when that gets on tape, which it is, that'll probably
send ten thousand of my friends away from me, 'cause they're going to
say that Brother Branham's trying to put himself and make himself a servant,
or a prophet, or something before God. Let me tell you, my brethren, that
is an error. I'm only telling you what I seen and what has been told to
me, and now, you--now, you do whatever you want to. I don't know who's
going to--what's going to take place. I do not know. I just know that
those seven thunders holds that mystery, that heavens was quieted. (Everybody
understand?)
494 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
567-5 {329} 108 Can't you see, Methodist ministers, how that your message
of sanctification was above that which Luther preached? You Pentecostals,
can't you see your message of the baptism is beyond that which Methodists
preached? You know what I mean? Oh, we've had a lot of things go forth,
and that's right. And if there's anybody that despises wrong and people
saying something that's actually lies and not the truth, I hate that;
but I--I do love the solid truth. No matter how much it interrupts this
way or that way, if it's Truth, God will finally show that it's Truth.
And if He doesn't do that, one of these days soon, then my vision wasn't
right. Now, you see where I just laid myself.
568-2 {335} 109 "When will it be, Brother Branham?" I cannot
tell you. I do not know. But one of these days, if we never meet again
on this earth, we're going to meet yonder at the--at the judgment seat
of Christ. And you'll find out that in that room, the revelation coming
from God (just like all the rest of them has), that them... One of the
mystery of that Seal, the reason it wasn't revealed, it was seven thunders
that uttered their voices, and there it is perfectly, because nothing
knows anything about it; wasn't even written. So we're at the end time;
we are here.
495 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
574-1 {377} 124 Will be a good thing that he doesn't know anything about
it, because if he did, then he would impersonate that. That's his tricks
in doing things. So therefore, God has made it so hid to the whole world,
even to heaven, that there is no way of understanding it, only as God
will reveal it Himself.
496 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
575-4 {390} 129 Now, now, do you notice on the opening of this Seventh
Seal, it's also in a threefold mystery. This one I have--will speak and
have spoke, that it is the mystery of the seven thunders. The seven thunders
in heaven will unfold this mystery. It'll be right at the coming of Christ,
because Christ said no one knew when He would return.
575-6 {392} 130 Did you notice when the Jews asked Him that? You know
when we compared the Scripture here with Matthew 24 with the six Seals,
the Seventh Seal was left out; because (You see?), Christ said only God
Himself knowed, not even the Angels. No wonder, it wasn't even written.
You see, they hushed; nothing take place then. Angels don't know it; nobody
knows when He's coming. But there'll be a... There'll be seven voices
of these thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time.
497 SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title
JEFF.IN 63-0324E
575-6 {392} 130 So I believe, to us who... If we don't know it, and we--we--it
won't be knowed till that time, but it will be revealed in that day, in
the hour that it's supposed to be revealed in. So the thing for us to
do is to be reverent before God and serve Him, and do all that we know
how to do, and live good Christian lives.
Here now, we find that the Sixth Seal has been opened to us; we see it,
and we know that this Seventh Seal cannot be broke to the public until
that hour arrives.
576-3 {394} 131 Now, there was some reason that God let this seven voices
be thundered, because it must come (See?), for the... We find that Christ,
the Lamb took the--the Book in His hand, and He opened that Seventh Seal.
But you see, it's a hidden mystery. No one knows it. But it--it's right
along with what He said: no one would know His coming; they also would
not know about this seven thunder mystery. So you see, it's connected
together.
That much we have a understanding of it today, because the rest of it
is all unfolded, but this is not unfolded. But setting in my room, and
I heard this--or not heard it, rather, but seen it unfold to this seven
thunders. Now, that's as far as we can go right there. And now I trust
that each and every one of you will serve God, and do that which is right,
and love Him all your life and serve Him, and God will take care of the
rest.
576-5 {397} 132 Now, we have in the completion here now, by the grace
of God, all the mysteries of the six Seals that's been sealed up, and
we understand and know here that the Seventh Seal is not to be known to
the public.
Now, His coming, and the hour of His coming, when the destruction of the
earth... You know, he said there, "What will be the sign of the coming
of the end of the world?" In Matthew 24, there where they asked Him
that question, He went down to that. He told about Israel being gathered
as a nation in the 31st verse of Matthew 24:31. But then He started off
on parables. See? Then, you see there, "Learn a parable of the fig
tree. When you see it putting forth its buds, why, you know spring's nigh."
And then, "When you see this coming to pass, then know the time is
nigh."
576-7 {398} 133 See Israel's gathering in its own homeland. But you notice,
He omitted the revelation of this Seventh Seal. And here when the Seventh
Seal, when He opened it, He also omitted it again. See? So we see that
it is a complete mystery, therefore, the hour is not yet for this mystery
to be known, therefore, we're this far and the rest of it will be known
right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again for His
Bride, or whatever takes place at that time.
Now, until that time, let's just all pray and live good straight Christian
lives, looking forward for His coming.
577-1 {400} 134 And now, if this tape would happen to fall into the hands
of some persons somewhere, don't try to make any kind of an "ism"
out of it. The only thing you do, you just continue serving God, because
this great secret is so great that God wouldn't even let John write it.
It thundered out, but He... knowing that... promising us that it would
be opened, but to this time, it isn't opened.

578-2 {407} 138 Now, the Angel was to my left, would really be the last,
or seventh Angel, if we would count them from left to right, because he
was on my left, me looking to him towards the west, him coming towards
the east would be on the left side, so that would be the last angel's
message: very notable. You remember how I said he had his--kind of his
head back, and his great sharp wings, and how he flew right to me. Now,
that is this Seventh Seal. It's still is a notable thing. And we are...
We don't know what it is as yet, because it's not permitted to be broken.

68 053 I said the people... I've never regarded myself... Anybody knowing
this... But people have said, "Brother Branham, the Lord called you
to be His prophet." Well, I--I've never regarded myself as that,
but I begin to get to the time that I was about ready to do it: to think,
"Well, maybe I am. If I am, I'll live back in the wilderness. And
if I live back in the wilderness, then I'll--I'll--I'll be His prophet."
See? And then if He wants to send me somewhere... And while He's not using
me, then I'll sure to catch some fine fish and--and do some things."
'Course that was kind of a selfish attitude (See?), because I wanted to
do that. Now, it isn't just exactly the thing that--to do. And now, I
had that made up in my mind to do that.

JEFF.IN V-6 N-7 63-0623M
72 056 Well, the interpretation of that, of course, was given here at
the church before it come to pass... That the--the time is now, that I
believe that the full revelation through the age of Luther, Wesley, and
John Smith, Alexander Campbell, and different ones that preached on the
Bible... And then we got over in the Bible and showed that there would
be a--a seventh angel's Message. And at the sounding of the seventh angel's
Message, all the mysteries of God would be made known. Then come seven
mysterious thunders.

I--I was told that--that You'd call me to be a--a prophet, and I want
to live in the wilderness like the prophet." But I was using my own
excuse so I could hunt: my own good.
And He said, "But that was the prophets of the Old Testament. You've
been called to be there in a much higher office than that." He said,
"You have more gifts besides that; you was called to pray for the
sick and to preach the Gospel in--in the apostolic forms, you know of--of
greater things, many great gifts."

I waited a few minutes. And just then... I looked over to see Billy. He
was asleep.
And He said, "I'll give you an everlasting sign," again. He
said, "Look westward from where you're at."
And I turned my head like this in the truck to look (slowed down, you
know)... And oh, my, the Spirit of the Lord... I felt like I could scream
and cry. I looked, and I just saw a mountain with white caps on it. I
said, "I don't know--see no everlasting sign about that."
He said, "Your name is wrote all over it."
506 STANDING.IN.THE.GAP.title
JEFF.IN V-6 N-7 63-0623M
148 094 I stopped and looked up on the mountain, and I seen those seven
hills. Now, here if you want to see something. There was seven peaks on
top of a mountain, one mountain, that run for several miles. The last
mountain before you go into the other country, no more mountains after
that. And it was running from east to the west, the mountain set. And
it was snowcapped on top.
The first two small peaks, and then a large peak... And then another small
peak, and then a larger peak... And then a small peak, and then a great,
large, long, snowcapped mountain. And I said, "Lord, I do not understand
what that means."
He said, "How many peaks are there?"
I said, "There's seven."
"How many letters is in your name?" B-r-a-n-h-a-m, M-a-r-r-i-o-n,
B-r-a-n-h-a-m.
153 095 And there was three outstanding peaks. He said, "Those three
peaks are the first, second, and third pull. The first one was your first
part of your ministry: small hill; then your first pull, pretty high.
(You know, sign in the hand.)" Then there's a little interval in
there, the time that I was taken off from being too tired. Many of you
remember it. And then come the discernment, the second pull. Now, I've
had another, about few years here of just kinda little peaks (See?), back
like my ministry wasn't just... And then come the third one.
Three is a number of completion (See?), the third one. The next peak was
five, number of grace. And the next peak was seven, a number of--of perfection:
the end. "Six days shall ye labor; the seventh is the Sabbath, the
end of the week, the end of time." See? And I stopped and I showed
it to Billy. And I looked at them. And He said, "That... Let that
stand. If there's ever a doubt in your mind, remember this place; come
back here."
156 096 And Billy punched me on the shoulder, he said, "Daddy, look
eastward." And how it ever happened I don't know, but there on the
east side of the road was that burning dump. Miles and miles from any
kind of a city, an old rubbish heap dump laying there on the left hand
side of the road.
I am returning to the field. Amen. Old or young, live or die, I'll obey
God until death shall set me free.

141 082 Jezebel refused to hear the Word of the Lord. She wouldn't want
to call that old fuzzy-looking preacher, Elijah, her pastor; but he was
her pastor anyhow. That's right. God sent him, and he bellowed out his
message. Though uneducated, they won't know where he come from or where
he went to. He came on the scene with the Word of the Lord. He sent his
message, and he preached and he condemned everything there was called
sin. And that modern Jezebel had switched and bewitched the people under
the witchcraft of her powers until the whole nation was corrupted, and
Elijah stood alone out there on the mountain. God said, "Elijah,
don't think that. I've got seven thousand down there that's honest in
heart yet." That's his second pull, and the third one went back for
them.

HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-9 63-0627
28 013 So to do this... And many of you people probably has never been
in a meeting before, and many of you is not acquainted with the ministry.
Some of you remember when I was here the first time in Arkansas. It was
predicted, you remember. I would take ahold of the people's hand, and
I'd just hold their hand there a few moments, and then the Lord would
speak and would just say what they had. Then I told you that He told me
when He met me, that, "You, if you'd be sincere, that it would step
up again and you'd know the very secret of their hearts." How many
ever heard me say that before it happened? Well, it went to that. Now
it's gone more, just keeps... The Lord keeps blessing, and we're just
thankful for that.
509 LORD.JUST.ONCE.MORE.title
HOT.SPRINGS.AR V-20 N-10 63-0628A
201 073 We've got the members, but they're weak. They love things of the
world better than they do the things... You say, "No." Oh? Look
upon the churches and find out. Don't try to deny it. Your actions speaks
more than your words does. Oh, yeah, got more members, bigger muscles,
but where is the strength of the Lord? Your big muscles won't meet the
challenge of this hour, the rapturing faith to take the Church out of
this thing before judgment strikes the earth.
510 THIRD.EXODUS.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-21 63-0630M
7-1 021 Heavenly Father, we--we by faith look towards the future. I'm
looking now by faith towards the coming something, Lord, upon the earth,
that's going to draw Thy people together.
5-5 016 Then if the Lord tarries, and I move on, you'll see that the things
that I've said in the Name of the Lord will be--come to pass just as it
was said. Never has failed yet, and some of it has to happen later.
511 THIRD.EXODUS.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-21 63-0630M
14-6 042 The spiritual mind can look down in Egypt and see that persecution
rise, can see Joseph taken away in order that the persecution could rise,
and then see God with His wheel in the wheels, everything moving around
just perfectly. See Potiphar reject Joseph. See that lie told and see
Joseph in the prison and his beard's growed out, excommunicated from his
brethren; but then all of a sudden God moved in.
512 THIRD.EXODUS.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-21 63-0630M
24-5 073 Then there's a persecution coming upon all those who won't unite
with it, and a boycott. It'll be too late then; you've already took the
mark. Don't say, "I'll do it then." You better do it now. Raamses
was growing.
But remember while Raamses was growing in the power in Egypt, God had
Moses in the wilderness. He was growing too. Raamses had a political system.
God had a spiritual system under a prophet ready to come down and speak
to the people. They're both growing again. It'll be a showdown one of
these days. The time ain't far off when there'll come a showdown.
513 THIRD.EXODUS.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-21 63-0630M
40-3 118 That's what He brought His first exodus. His second exodus...
God always goes in threes. He's perfect in threes. You all notice my preaching;
it's always threes and sevens. Seven is a complete; threes is His perfection.
First, Second, and Third Pull and oh, all, everything. See? Justification,
sanctification, Baptism of the Holy Ghost; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
everything. See?
514 IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY.title
JEFF.IN V-5 N-5 63-0630E
31 022 Now, turn in your Bibles to the--the Book of St. Luke, and we'll
start at the 14th chapter and the 16th verse to read some Scripture for
a basis, for a background for this that we're going to try to 'lot about
thirty to forty minutes on. Now, the 16th verse of the 14th chapter of
St. Luke...
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bid many:
And sent his servants at supper time to say to them that were bidden,
Come; for--for all things are now ready.
And they all with one accord begin to make excuses.
The first said unto him, I... bought a piece of ground, and I must need
go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of ox, and I go to prove them:
I pray thee have me excused.
... another said, I've married a wife,... therefore I cannot come.
So the servant came, and shewed his lord all these things. Then the master
of the house being angry said to his servant,... (Notice, it's not servants--servant!)...
Go out quickly into the streets and lane and of the city and bring in
hither the poor, and the maim, and the halt, and the blind.
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet
there is room.
... the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges,
and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste
of my supper.
32 023 Now, did you notice, there was three pulls or three turns of it
when they went out first and called to them that were bidden to come,
and they didn't do it. So there went out a healing campaign, went out
to get the blind and halt. And still there were room, so he went out and
compelled the good, bad, and indifferent that they should come in.
515 IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY.title
JEFF.IN V-5 N-5 63-0630E
50 032 He bid three times. Three times He sent out, and they did not listen
to the feast. Then He sent again, and He said, "Go and compel those
people to come." The table's got to be set. The table's ready; there's
still room. And I believe that maybe--maybe within the next few months
or something, or year, or whatever it is, God's going to send another
shaking across the country, for there's somebody still out there somewhere
that's a predestinated seed, that the Light has to fall on somewhere,
somewhere in the world. The nation itself is gone.
516 INDICTMENT.THE.title
JEFF.IN V-3 N-19 63-0707
61-6 152 I pray that You'll save every one, Lord. May there come forth
a revival of the just and a great power come among the church just before
Its going. It's not hard to pray that, because You promised it. And we're
looking, Lord, for that third pull that we know that'll do great things
for us in our midst.
517 WHY.CRY.SPEAK.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-26 63-0714M
10-7 021 Just as we know now, as a man asked me a few moments ago about
the coming and the rapture. We know we've lived the time out. The time
of the rapture is at hand. And we're looking for a rapturing faith that
can pull the churches together and give it some supernatural strength
that can change these bodies that we live in. We see a God that can raise
the dead off the floor, or out in the yard, and bring him back to life
again, and present him before us. When we see a God who can take a cancer
that's eat a man to a shadow, and raise him up to a strong healthy man,
that ought to give rapturing faith to the people. That when that Light
flashes from the sky, and the trumpet sounds, the Body of Christ will
be quickly gathered together, and changed in a moment, and taken into
the heavens.
518 WHY.CRY.SPEAK.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-26 63-0714M
38-2 082 Here he was standing there. See? Knowed that the Scriptures said
that that was the hour and day for that to happen, and knowed that God
had met him in a Pillar of Fire. And it went right down before the people
and performed these miracles, and everything he said, it come to pass,
even to bring things into creation, doing the things that only God could
do, showing that his voice was God's voice. And here was the circumstances
with that people that he was raising up, bringing on to the promised land,
and then was standing crying, "What must I do?"
519 WHY.CRY.SPEAK.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-26 63-0714M
39-1 084 Oh, I like that. "What are you crying to Me about? Just
speak to the people and go forward to your objective." Whatever it
is, if it's sickness, or whatever, whether it's to raise the dead or whatever
it is, speak. I proved it. Speak to the people."
39-3 085 What a lesson. What a lesson. Oh, my. At this stage of the journey
where we're standing, look where we're at now (Yes, sir.), at the third
pull. Notice, we're right here at the door of the coming of the Lord.
He was anointed for the job and still waiting for THUS SAITH THE LORD.
God must've just got enough of it. He said, "Don't cry anymore; speak.
I sent you."
520 WHY.CRY.SPEAK.title
JEFF.IN V-2 N-26 63-0714M
51-1 110 God, give me courage to take that Sword of the Word that He put
in my hand about thirty-three years ago and hold it and march forward
to the third pull is my prayer. Let's bow our heads.
521 HUMBLE.THYSELF.title
JEFF.IN V-21 N-1 63-0714E
20 009 But I want to run down the bank now and persuade them, "Come
on back." See, I've got to have that feeling (See?), 'cause I know
there's somebody out there that hasn't come in yet. And I'm--I'm going
to fish till... He said...?... the last fish is caught. And I--I want
to do that.
Now. And now, in order to do this, I'm expecting something to happen in
a prayer meeting, something... And many of you remember the vision of
the--of the last Pull, that Third Pull, rather. You remember, there was
something happened just before that: I seen that Light come and go down
into that place, and said, "I'll meet you there." Now, I--I'm
looking for something to happen.
522 HUMBLE.THYSELF.title
JEFF.IN V-21 N-1 63-0714E
23 010 Then He told me a vision, "One time you'll meet a lady that
will come to you, wearing a brown suit, and she'll be packing a little
baby in a blanket, and from that time on, you'll have strength to endure
stronger." Well, I told you all that. And in Chicago it happened
that night when the little Presbyterian lady, when her own pastor sent
her down there with the baby.
25 011 And I believe it was his brother, or one of them, was a--a doctor.
He said, "There's not a hope for the baby unless Almighty God touches
him." He went...
She went and told her pastor. Her pastor said, "I--I am--I am not
qualified," he said, "to--to act upon this Divine healing, because
I don't--just don't have it within me, the faith that it takes to do it."
Now, that--now, that--that's being honest about it. See? He said, "I
don't just have it in me." He said, "But I was at one of Brother
Branham's meetings, and I'd advise you take the baby to--to Brother Branham."
And the doctor had give it up, and it was going to die.
27 012 And the little lady walked in there where I was having a--some
sort of a--a service for them little Catholic children that had got burnt
up in that school up there, you know. You remember when it was. We was
having that service, and coming right down the platform comes that little
lady with the brown suit on. My wife and them was setting there, and I
said--turned and looked, and looked all around, and see if they was standing
there. And happened to be, that just before I come up, I believe Billy
Paul and them had been talking, or the wife or some of them to the lady
with the little baby. And the lady walked up to the platform; the Holy
Spirit revealed the whole thing, and healed the baby there.
I walked away, and since then I just don't get tired. See, it don't bother
me, and now, I just go right on and on.
29 013 Now, I'm looking for something to happen, to start that Third Pull
into march (See?), and may be the next Sunday morning healing service
maybe produce that. I don't know.
523 HUMBLE.THYSELF_
JEFF.IN V-21 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-0714E
29 I believe He'll do wonders if we'll just believe Him. See? But we got
to believe Him for that now, with all of our heart. And I think that the
great hour has arrived that when God, in so much as we was speaking this
morning, has showed us so much, and brought us to a certain--just up to
a spot. Just to push over that little hill, and that's all you need then,
then away it goes (See?) a--a going just like it was, the same thing,
with the discernment, same thing by the prophetic, to watch...
524 HUMBLE.THYSELF_
JEFF.IN V-21 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-0714E
73 I was thinking here of one little illustration to back up what he said.
Now, we look at this watch to find out what time it is. Unless that every
instrument in that watch is coordinating one with the other, we'll never
know the correct time. Is that right? And that takes all of us, all together,
if we want to see the Third Pull really do something for God, and coordination
with every one of us together to humble ourselves before God and confess
our wrong, and pray, and believe God for these things.
525 WARNING.THEN.JUDGMENT_
JEFF.IN V-8 N-3 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0724
112 Now, when he speaks of his vision, whether it's wrath or whether it's
healing, it may linger, but it's got to come to pass if he speaks it in
the Name of the Lord. See? It might be a blessing that he speaks for you.
He might tell you a certain thing, and you can't see it at all. You say,
"How can it be? Why, it's a... I--I--I... He told me, 'THUS SAITH
THE LORD, this is going to happen, and that was going to happen,' and
it--it ain't happened. The man's wrong." Now you'll be judged for
disbelieving It, but it's going to happen anyhow. See? It's got to happen.
"Though it linger," the Bible said, "yet will it speak
in its season." It'll come to pass.
114 The prophet's only looking off and seeing something. He's talking
about what he's looking at. He ain't thinking about here and what you
look like now; he's looking what it's going to be. And when he speaks
that, if it's in the Word of the Lord, it's already been spoke, and there's
nothing in the world can stop it (You see? That's right.) only God Himself.
Notice, now we find that when He--he speaks his vision, the prophet does...
Now, sometimes he speaks good things; he speaks of your healing. All right,
you might think, "It just can't happen; I haven't got any better."
Then what does that do? That just brings the judgments of God upon you.
That's right. See? Jesus promised to save you if you'd believe it; if
you don't believe it, it won't--it won't happen to you. You've got to
accept it; you've got to believe it. See? And you got to know from where
it comes from, that gives your faith in God or your prophet. See? You've
got to believe it.
526 WARNING.THEN.JUDGMENT_
JEFF.IN V-8 N-3 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0724
193 Don't you love Him? Think of what we are. Look how far up the road
we are, friend. Just look back down the road from way down yonder in the
days of Luther and Wesley, on down through the ages. Look here where we're
at: right here at the top of the pyramid, right here where God has proved
it, that the Bible through the seven seals has perfectly been revealed,
waiting only now for them seven mysteries right at last, on the coming
of the Lord and the rapture of the Church that might happen before morning.
Oh, my.
527 CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_
JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
17-1 God's great mystery of how... It's a secret. He kept it a secret.
Nobody knowed nothing about it; even the Angels didn't understand it.
See? He didn't reveal it. That's the reason under our seventh mystery,
when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence.
17-3 Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come.
He said, "It's not... Even the Son Himself don't know when it's going
to happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's a secret. And
that's the reason there was silence in heaven for a space of a half hour.
And Seven Thunders uttered their voices, and John was even forbidden to
write it (See?)--the coming of the Lord.
That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when
He will come. It's a good thing that He doesn't. No. He has showed or
revealed it in every type that's in the Bible.
528 CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_
JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
59-2 Look it. Having the revelation of this secret made known to them
by His grace. Look, when this great revelation--revealed mystery is made
known to you, then you denounce all the things of the world.
Now, I'm going to come back once again. I was not going to say it; I'm
pointing to it; the tape's sake. And those that are going across... This
tape goes across the world.
529 CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_
JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
68-2 This is God's great mystery of love expressed, that God and man became
one. See? The whole thing is God and man one. God and man was one there,
and God and man is one here. See? What is it? Being filled with His Spirit,
Him having the preeminences. That was God's achievement. That's God purpose
to do that, that He might be in Christ and Christ in us, and all of us
together one. The Holy Spirit, same thing that revealed it to Christ reveals
it here, the supernatural, creative power. Oh, my.
530 CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_
JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
94-1 Not knowing (of course, being spiritual, you watch spiritual things)--not
knowing this, God knows it. But if you'll turn and look at the clock,
it's on the dot 2 o'clock: the end of the Second Pull, the Third Pull
is at hand.
At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in heaven we'll crown Him,
When our journey is complete.
Precious name... (Second Pull has been made manifested.)
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
94-2 Did you notice the Spirit take the same song and picked it up an
octave higher like that? The next Pull is at hand.
531 CALLING.JESUS.ON.THE.SCENE_
CHICAGO.IL V-21 N-8 SUNDAY_ 63-0804E
76 They were something like us today, those disciples out there on that
ship that night, after the revival, was feasting on the results.
Now, maybe between the revivals now, we are looking for another stir,
where there's got to be something happen now that'll gather the Church
together. There'll have to be some kind of a press. God always does it
that way to run His people together. I believe that it's already being
formed, that will shut out everything that won't agree with them, and
then it's going to run the Church together. And we're waiting for that
to happen, and we're living on the results of the great revival that we've
just passed, and He's resting.
78 He was resting then like He did when He completed His work in Genesis.
The Bible said, "And the seventh day God rested from all of His works."
And now, Jesus had completed that day, and He was resting from the works
that He had did that day, resting for the--a greater work to begin tomorrow
(See?), taking a little rest.
And that's what I think He's doing now. The stir's not among the people.
You can't see the enthusiasm that once we had about ten or fifteen years
ago when the revival started, one of the longest-lasting revivals we've
ever had. And history only shows a revival only lasts not over three years
at the most. And we had one in this last day now, for about fifteen years
that revival fires struck across the--the world.
532 HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_
JEFF.IN V-4 N-12 SUNDAY_ 63-0825M
31 Now, if you know any peoples around anywhere that's sick and wants
to be prayed for, you bring them here tonight. See? Now, if you have to
bring them any way, get them here. See? That's the main thing is bring
them here tonight. We all meet together. That way, it's hard to make calls
going place after place; then you leave off somebody and there's a hard
feeling. But if I can get them all in one place, then I can pray for them.
Now, if you--if the people wants to be prayed for, they... You say, "Will
they?" Oh, certainly. They'll be prayed for. Bring them on in, Lord
willing we'll be here pray for everybody, 'cause I feel that that third
pull is beginning to move. You see? It's within me, and I--I want to pray
for everybody.
533 PERFECT.FAITH_
JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E
148 Now, when the same God comes to you, and is pleased to dwell in you,
pleased to honor your word, what your decision is... What was Joshua's
decision? "Stand still, sun." And it stood there. Amen. Sure.
What was Moses' decision? Held his stick over the--a river like that,
then called for it to open. And it opened. See, whatever you ask. "And
if you say to this mountain, 'Be moved,' and don't doubt (see, in your
heart), but believe that what you've said will come to pass, you can have
what you say." That puts you back in the Word. Now, that's not skim
milk. See? It puts you back. I know it's going to jump just over top of
you maybe (See?), because It can't anchor; but real, genuine faith catches
that right now.
150 I've seen it, friends. Here's this Bible laying open before me. I've
seen it happen, and I know it's the truth. I know. God in heaven knows,
that I might not live through to finish this message, but I--I know that
it happened. I've seen it myself. I'm a witness of that Word being fulfilled,
and I know it is the truth: say it, and stand there and see the Creator
bring a living creature into existence right in presence of your eyes;
shake your head and wonder; and then look around and seen Him bring another
one just exactly like it, because you said so; and turn over here and
say, "There'll be another one there," and look, and there it
is. Now, that's the truth.
151 Oh, where should we be? There's perfect faith. No vision, "Just
speak the Word," never saw the squirrel. He just said this Scripture,
what it was, and "Speak it, and don't doubt it; but what you say,
it'll be there." And I took God at His Word, and it was there. That's
right. That's just as powerful... And friend, as your pastor, that's just
as powerful as it was when Joshua stopped the sun; because the sun was
already there; the elements was moving, and he stopped the movement. But
this, He brought something there that wasn't there; He created. I'm so
glad to be acquainted with the God that can take this dust of the earth,
someday without anything and call me back to life again that's...?...
after I been planted in the grave. Oh, my.
534 PERFECT.FAITH_
JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E
184 This is coming into that Third Pull! I--I'm believing it. And I want
to ask you a sincere question, you that passed through the prayer line.
Can you actually believe and feel now, that there is something happened
in you since you've had hands laid on you? Raise your hand. There it is.
This is what we've waited for. Now, this is not... This is just starting
to bloom now (See?), just started to bloom. I did this for a purpose.
I did this for a purpose. I'm working out something; it's taking this
charge of faith and going right back to begin and come in (See?) to kinda
raise faith in a bracket where you've never noticed it that way before.
Not a faith, but a perfect faith, built it up in here. And watch a perfect
God, with a perfect heart, keep a perfect promise, by His perfect Word,
which is sharper than a two-edged sword and a Discerner of the thoughts
of the heart. What? We're coming now to the perfection, because the people
has to come to this in order for the rapture. That's what's holding it
away right now, is waiting for that church to come into that perfect raptured
faith. I'm looking for it. It means a lot of shaking down for me; it means
a lot for you; but together we'll make it by the grace of God. Amen.
535 DESPERATION_
JEFF.IN V-4 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-0901E
32 Now, God, the Creator, can make a set of lungs. I--I truly believe
that we're on the--the verge of one of the most mightiest things that
ever struck the earth since the days...?... See? But now, we can only
be known as... It'll be so humble. See? See, what man calls mighty, God
calls abomination. But what man calls foolish, God calls mighty. See?
But now watch it (See?); it'll be so humble that you'll never miss--that
you'll miss it if you've not got the Token there to examine it. You see?
See?
536 DESPERATION_
JEFF.IN V-4 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-0901E
176 And I suppose by the next time I get back, the Lord willing, I'll
be running the prayer line through one of these rooms in that little room
that I'm to take them to. You see? I believe it's unfolding now (You see?)
the hour...
537 SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW_
JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M
17-4 And wife come up and I said, "Just let me alone a minute, honey."
I said, "If you don't mind, I want to go home."
She said, "Are you sick?"
I said, "No, just go ahead, honey, if you've got any shopping to
do."
She said, "No, I'm finished."
And I said, "Let me take you by the arm." See? I walked out.
She said, "What's the matter?"
I said, "Meda, I--I--I...?... Something happened up there."
And while I was under that, I thought this: "What day are we living
in? Could this be the Third Pull?" Now, I've got some notes here.

23-4 Now we see these things. Remember the Seven Seals is finished. And
when those seven revealed truths... One of them He wouldn't permit us
to know. We... How many was here at the Seven Seals? Just about all of
you, I guess. See? The--the Seventh Seal, He wouldn't permit it. He stood
right there in the room and revealed every one of them, and if I ever
preached anything in my life was inspired, it was that. And it ought to
be true to you, stand here and tell you that it's going to happen, and
go right there, and even science and everything else, the scientific research
and everything--mystery to the people, proved that it happened right there;
and come back and hear it unfold and make every word exactly right.

32-5 That's what the prophet said: St. Paul. The woman that lives in this
worldly condition is dead while she is living. And if she rejects mercy,
she can cross the separating line where there's no place for her no more.
And then where's she at with her painted eyes, her cut hair? And she's
across the line with no way to come back, and there's got to be a ministry
preached to her. But remember, at that time, it's all over. It's done--just
a haunting...
32-7 There'll be a ministry that'll show great wonders (Joel said so),
but there'll be no time for redemption. It's all over. The Lamb's done
took His Book, and redeemed is over. As Jesus first preached and was rejected
and then went and haunted those that were in there, preached to them that
were in prison and could not repent, no time for salvation, that same
ministry will have to repeat again. What if that could be the Third Pull
to the eternal lost? What if it is there? I hope it's not. What if it
is? Think of it just a minute now. What if it is? God forbid, I got children.
See? But it sure looks pretty close here.

"Either America will receive it this year, or she won't receive it
at all." See where she's gone? See? Now, I wonder if the Third Pull
could be? Oh, God, may it be far from it. Is that what the Third Pull
is for? Could that be? Oh, oh my, think of it, friends, think of it. I
don't like to. Jesus said, "This kind of hypocrisy..." (If you
want to put that down, Matthew 23:7, I--I got here, "Read that,"
but you can see), "You blind Pharisees...?..."

Paul, yeah, I'd have took sides with St. Paul."
You hypocrites, why don't you take the side with his doctrine? You'd have
done the same thing then you done now, for you're the children of your
fathers, your organizational fathers, Pharisees, Sadducees, and self-righteous...
That's--that's it. I tell you in that hour that we live; I wonder if this
could be the Third Pull. Just a minute now. Jesus said, "This kind
receives greater damnation." See?
40-4 Remember, at Tucson, the seven Angels, what the message was? The
finishing of the mystery of God. Immediately after that, coming down the
range... You all have heard about the mountains. Notice. Brother Fred
got some pictures of it, and Brother Tom, and I got some pictures, some
movies. (I think we're going to show you here someday, show you just where
it was at.)
You all know the story. Watch--the three peaks. He said, "There's
your First, Second, and Third..."
41-1 And Brother Fred got an outstanding picture of it when he and Sister
Martha passed: The clouds had come up from the moisture of the ground
and had hid all the rest of them, and just showing the three pulls, one
here, one here, and one there. See? The seven... Watch.
41-2 The first three; three is perfection. That's when the ministry went
forth. The Second Pull was the discernment of spirits of prophecy. First
was the healing of the sick; the second was the prophecy that went forth,
that knowed the secret of the thoughts, when the Word Itself was made
manifest, which, that's grace. But remember, the seventh is the finish.
Could this be the finish pull? It's all over. Could it be? Think of it
now. Just think where you're at. See? Seven is always the finish--Three
Pulls.
41-3 Jesus' ministry consisted of three pulls. Did you know that? Notice.
Be sincere if you ever was in your life now for a minute, few minutes.
His First Pull was healing the sick. He become a very popular Man. Everybody
believed Him, seemed like. Is that right? When He went forth healing the
sick, everybody wanted Him in their church, but one day He turned around
and started prophesying, for He was the Word. And He was the Prophet that
Moses spoke of.
And when He went to tell them, and telling how they was living and the
things they were doing, He become very unpopular. That was His Second
Pull. I wonder if it has typed right back again? Just think a minute.
Could it be? The first, healing everybody, the second... Oh, "It
could be Jesus Only. It could be Beelzebub; it could be..." That's
the same thing they did there. See? Same spirits living in the same kind
of people, condemned people that could never be saved because they were
condemned before... They...
41-5 Like Judas Iscariot, born of the son of perdition. You say, "Judas?"
Sure. Remember, he was very religious. But he couldn't go all the way
with the message. He could take part of it; but the rest of it, he couldn't
stomach. They can take healing and things like that, but when it comes
to God speaking squirrels into existence, then that's too deep for them:
"Can't be." That was Judas. His spirit can live right up to
that spot. He can't go it after that. See?
542 SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW_
JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M
42-3 And notice, when the Third Pull of His ministry come, the First was
healing the sick, the Second was rebuking their organizations and prophesying
what they had done, what they were, and what was coming: what is, what
is--will come, what was--what is and will come. That's what He done. Is
that right? But His Third Pull was when He preached to the lost that couldn't
be saved no more. They were down there where them big painted eyes was.
Preached to the souls in hell that did not accept mercy, but were eternally
separated from the Presence of God; yet they had to recognize it; what
He was, because God made Him there. Wonder if His ministry climbs out
the same way in the last days. As it was, "As the Father sent Me,
so send I you. The works that I do shall you also."
42-4 Lost, could never be saved, they had rejected mercy. That was His
Third Pull. Now, is there any question? His First Pull, He healed the
sick. Is that right? His Second Ministry, He was prophesying. His Third
Ministry was preaching to the eternal lost. The three mountains and so
forth--the lost, eternal.
42-5 Noah's ministry, all ministries done the same. Noah preached. That
is exactly right. He went into the ark, and when he went into the ark,
there was seven days that nothing happened. His testimony preached to
the doomed... Sodom and Gomorrah, Jesus referred to both them as coming
'fore the coming of the Son of man, so shall it be like the days of Noah,
so shall it be in like it was in the days of Sodom.
He referred to Noah. Noah had Three Pulls, and his third was to the lost
after the door was shut. For God let him set right there where nobody
could enter or go out. They were inside for... On the seventh mountain,
the highest mountain, that's where He settled the ark, mountain. See?
That right?
43-2 In the days of Sodom, the First Pull was to righteous Lot. And the
Bible said, "The sins of Sodom vexed his righteous soul daily,"
how them women acted and done. You remember, "As it was in the days
of Noah..." What was they doing? Eating, drinking, marrying, giving
in marriage: women (See?), women. What was the days of--of Sodom? Women.
And the first message was Lot. They laughed him to scorn.
Then He sent another messengers, two of them, and they went down. That
was His Second Pull for Lot--for Sodom. But look at that one that went
last. Just more and more mercy; it was all over then--all over at that
time. That third Messenger that went down there, the Third Pull, what
was He? What kind of a ministry did He have? He set with the elected and
told them what was taking place behind Him. Is that right? But when He
stepped off into Babylon--or into Sodom, He wanted to find... Even Abraham
crying, "If I could find fifty righteous..." on down to ten
righteous.
God said, "Yes, find ten righteous..."

44-6 Noah shut up, was a testimony. God shut the door after his Third
Pull. After the Third Pull at Sodom, the doors was shut. There was no
more mercy. The ten couldn't be found. And the lost had the Gospel preached
that could not be saved, because it was yet... Been that way in every
age; every age reject the message before judgment. Have they done it again?
Is that appearing of that Pillar of Fire down yonder on the river? Is
that appearing alone in the message of cutting the women, and throwing
the places where it should be, and rebuking those ministers who takes
the place with the denomination instead of staying on the Word, when God's
thoroughly a-vindicated that it's Him and not some poor ignorant unlearned
thing like a man. It's God. And have we now come to the spot that the
Third Pull would return again to the lost eternally?
45-2 Was that what that vision was give me as a little bitty boy out yonder?
And I have went West, and there's the golden Cross of the Gospel shining
down and has declared the sign from heaven just exactly. You remember,
the Cross was in a panoramic like a--like a pyramid also, built. Could
it be that it's the Head part where it's ended and started and here come
up to the Headship, like the pyramid come up through Luther, Wesley, Pentecost,
and them there... Capping of the stone, could it be that? If that's it,
where are we at?
45-3 This might... I hope it isn't, but it's got to be. It's going to
be. Just remember, them ministries has to... They always dovetail just
the same with the other one. It had to come then; God don't change. Think
of it. Bite your conscience with your spiritual teeth and find out where
we're at. What if it is, and you're still the way you are? Then you just
might as well walk... You're finished. Them that's outside, after the
Book is taken by the Lamb, the Sixth Seal is revealed and all the seals,
it's over. It could be. I hope it isn't; it could be.
45-4 All right. Now, is that why this Third Pull has lingered so long?
You notice the First Pull and the Second Pull went from one to the other.
I predicted, you remember, when I first started about the First, and I
said, "There'll come a time that I'll even know the secrets of the
heart." You remember. How many... Why, all of you remember that in
my meetings around. And one night I'd just walked into Regina, up there,
and walked on the platform, Brother Baxter there, several thousand people,
and a man walked up on the platform, and there it was. And from that it's
been the same.

46-4 If the First and Second Pull is without question... Is there a question
in your mind about the First and Second Pull? Did it come to pass just
like He said? Then why question the Third? Why would you question... The
first two was identified by the Scripture. I've proved to you this morning
that the Third's identified by the Scripture too. Look upon the world
and see where she's at. Look how they have rejected the truth, and how
it's been properly identified, the prophecy part. Now, where are we at?
Oh God, be merciful. Now, that makes my heart bleed on the inside. What
about it? Where we at?

not another peak beyond that; it's on the Continental Divide. It goes
right into the deserts from there on: eternity sets in. Seven peaks, right
on the Continental Divide, that's the right, between right and wrong.
And at the end of that, the Third Pull was the last pull of the range.

did in the days of Jesus. That right? Even the Jews, after Jesus told

more. You're finished."

did he come..."

He was Messiah. He was the living Word made manifest. And a man that's

the message of salvation? "Why," you say, "the church is
going..."
Yeah, they will. They'll go right on just the same. But remember, all
this time Noah was in the Ark. The Bride is sealed in with Christ. The
last member has been redeemed. Sixth Seal has produced itself. The Seventh
Seal brings Him back to earth. The Lamb come and took the Book out of
the right hand of Him and set down and claimed what He owned, what He
had redeemed. That right? It's always been that Third Pull.

Message will go to the totally lost, just like it did in the days of Noah,

one time, but what told you exactly what was wrong with you. I told you
then that... He told me that day, that, "There would be a time that
when you know the very secret of the heart," not knowing that the

58 But God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. They're past
finding out to the carnal mind. They never catch a glimpse of it. And
as I walked back up and--and set down, setting there thinking on God.
"Wonder why I come back." I thought, "My, time I get to
the bottom of the hill, that storm getting more terrific all the time,
closing in, you couldn't see very far ahead of you." And now...
60 If you do not have to believe this, but this is true. A Voice spoke
to me, and said, "I am the Lord God. I created the heavens and the
earth. Nature obeys Me."
And then I set there a little bit, jerked off my hat. And that Voice,
somewhere, I couldn't see It. Only thing, I could hear It. It was around
there in them trees somewhere. I thought. Usually you see that Light that
all of you know about, usually It's there, but I looked everywhere and
I couldn't see the Light. I said, "Where are You, O God, my Creator?"
I looked around. I couldn't hear It no more, hear His Voice. I waited
a few minutes.
He said, "I am the Lord God that had you to speak those squirrels
into existence." And all of you know about that. And so help me,
with this Bible before me on this Thanksgiving morning, if that isn't
true, God may strike me dead at the platform now. See, it's true. He's
still just as much Creator, a God--a God that could provide a ram for
Abraham, can provide... He's still Jehovah-Jireh. The Lord can provide.
63 Where'd Abraham get that ram? Look, a three-day's journey from civilization,
up on top the mountain, where there's no water or nothing. And he had
need of a ram, and there was a ram hooked in the wilderness by its horns.
And Abraham had went around and picked up rock, all around there to make
this altar; but God still remained Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord will provide
for Himself.
Whatever He's promised, that He's able to do. That's that Word in Matthew
there, I think, Mark 11:22, "If you say to this mountain..."
I--I never could understand that. You know the story about that.
And so help me, that's true. He said, "I am the One that provided
that--them squirrels," He said. Now, when... I listened again, to
see what He would say. Nothing stopped; wind just howling, going on. I--I
have to bite myself, 'cause...
66 Let me tell you something. Real spiritual minds is one step from insanity.
Did you know that? A scientific research will tell you that. Here you
are down here slow and slumpy; and then you come up a little more spiritual;
then you're about like this; then you go to like a dull axe; and then
to a honed razor. Now you know which side you would fall on there. If
a man tries to lift hisself up there, he's sure to go on the wrong side.
If God lifts him up there, he's far above the average person. There's
where visions and things break through. There's where the Kingdom of God
is. Poets, prophets, and all were considered neurotics.
67 Jesus, Himself, was called a crazy man. Said, "We know you're
mad and got a devil." "Mad" means "crazy." Look
at all the poets and prophets through the ages, had been considered that,
that extremely try--cry... If you try to pull yourself up there, you're
gone, you'll never make it. It takes a hand reaching down from glory,
to hold you on that edge there, between the right and wrong things. And
standing on them edges is where you look across into Beulah land.
Then on that very hour, It spoke again, to that very same time, setting
up there. He said, "I am the One that stood on the ship that night
and made the winds and the waves to cease." Said, "Rise up on
your feet and rebuke this storm, and it'll obey exactly what you say."
That's been that third stage of the ministry coming. It's been moving
up for years. And I--look like there's something that keeps worried, I
think, "Oh, don't..." But that's exactly what He done. And this
is Him again; it's just exactly His Spirit again, just exactly.

168 Look. Paul... The early church started in the east; it went from there,
jumped across the--the--the--the sea over into Germany. And it's made
three pulls. Looky. From Asia down in--in Palestine it jumped across the
ocean to Germany. That was Luther. And it jumped from Luther across the
English Channel over into England by Wesley. And from Wesley she's jumped
to the west coast to the United States. And this, if you go any further,
it's coming back east again. This is the evening time.

6-1 So now, I am going to say something to you now, that I haven't said
all along. And that is, the thing that we have looked forward to for so
long, or at least many years, four or five years or maybe longer, the
third pull has now been vindicated, and I'm sure you all know what it
is.
Now, remember, there'll never be any impersonation of that, 'cause it
can't be. It cannot be. Now, it's in existence, and I have--I am warned
of this, that soon, right at this time now, it's just happened, so it
could identify its presence among you. See? But it will not be used in
a great way, until this council begins to tighten up. And when it does,
when that does... The Pentecostals and so forth can almost impersonate
anything could be done, but when that time comes, when the squeeze comes
down, then you'll see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in
the fullness of its power. See...?... see?
6-3 Now, I must continue in evangelism, just as I was commissioned first;
I must continue on. Therefore, you've had the Word, and you know what
to look for, how to stand. I must continue on in evangelism. And friends
of mine, keep still and just keep moving on, for the hour is approaching
swiftly (See?), that when something is going to be done.
Now, you might see some little odd things happen from me, nothing sinful,
I don't mean that, but I mean something odd to what the regular trend,
because what I have reached to now in the ministry, I'm dropping back
here, watching that spot and waiting for the time to use it. But it's
going to be used. And everyone knows that for as certain as the first
was identified, so has the second been identified; and if you'll think
real closely, you who are spiritual (as the Bible said, "Here's to
him who has wisdom.") the third is properly identified. See? We know
where it is. So the third pull is here.
6-5 It is so sacred that I mustn't not say much about it, as He told me
in the beginning. Said, "This, say nothing of it." You remember
that years ago? It speaks for Itself. See? But to... I've tried to explain
the others, and I made a mistake. This will be the thing that, to my opinion
(I don't say the Lord tells me this.)--this will be the thing that will
start the rapturing faith for the going away. See, see? Now, and that...
I must lay quiet for just a little while.
Now, remember (and who's listening to this tape) you might see such a
change in my ministry right away, dropping back... Not going up, dropping
back... We're right at the age now, and it be--can't go any further. We
have to wait here just a minute until this happens over here to catch
up, then the time comes. But it's thoroughly identified.
7-2 There's coming a time upon--in this nation, to where this nation is
going to exercise all the power that the beast had before (which was pagan
Rome, when it become papal Rome. See?) that this nation will do that.
Revelations 13 plainly explains it. The lamb came up out of the earth.
The other beast came up out of water, thickness and multitudes of people.
This lamb came up where there was no people.
A lamb represents religion--the Lamb of God. And remember, it spoke like
a lamb; it was a lamb, and then after while it received power and spoke
like a dragon, and exercised all the power the--the dragon--power the
dragon had before him; and the dragon is Rome always. So don't you see,
Roman denomination, a marked Protestant denomination, an image unto the
beast, making a power that'll force all Protestants like a union. You'll
have to be into this council of churches, or you won't be able to have
fellowship or to--to... Well, it's--it's practically that way now. You
can't go to a church and preach, 'less you have a fellowship card or some
identification.
7-4 And now, on persons like ourselves, we're going to be cut out of all
that altogether. That's exactly, because they won't be able to do it.
It's tightening; and then when that time comes, and the press comes to
a place to where you're pressed out, then watch (what I am fixing to tell
you in a few minutes) watch the third pull then. It'll be absolutely to
the total lost, but it--it will be for the Bride and the church.
Now, we're closer than it seems to be. I don't know when, but it's real,
real, close. I may be building a platform for somebody else to step on.
I may be taken before that time. I don't know. And that time may be this
coming week that the Holy Spirit will come with--and bring Christ Jesus.
He may come this next week. He may come yet tonight. I don't know when
He will come. He doesn't tell us that. But I do believe that we are so
close, that I would never die with old age. Yet at fifty-four years old,
I'd never die with old age until He's here. See? Unless I am shot, killed,
or something, or other, some way killed; just old age wouldn't kill me,
until He's come. And I believe that... And I want to say this; I have
never said it before, but according to Scripture, according to what He
said thirty years ago, thirty-three years ago on the river down there
(in 1933, rather), what He said, everything has happened just exactly.
I may not do it, but this message will introduce Jesus Christ to the world.
"For as John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so
is the message to forerun the second coming." And John said, "Behold
the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." See? So it--it
paralleled it in every way, and I know it will. The message will go on.

12-3 Just when Abraham needed a ram, God provided that ram. And He provided
the squirrels. He could speak a squirrel into existence, because He's
creator, just the same as He could speak the ram. Abraham never asked
for it. He was just simply going on to do it, but it showed that Jehovah
Jireh was there. When I said that, a humble little woman, for the first
time this ever happened (the third pull) upon a human being was a little
humble woman that making about two hundred dollars a year for a living;
all she got out of her little farm (her husband dead, two children that
had turned kinda wild) and come and donated twenty dollars of that to
the building of this tabernacle. And Meda had give me some money that
morning for groceries (twenty dollars), and I was going to give it back
to her that day, while I was down there, so she wouldn't have to pay it,
but she wouldn't take it. And when... She was setting back in the corner,
and when I said, "Only thing I know that He's still Jehovah Jireh,"
and little Hattie said the right word.

21-3 That's the fifth time. Five is the number of grace, a number of f-a-i-t-h
too. There's no more doubt in my mind. I know what the third pull is,
and I know what it does. Now, be reverent; just keep quiet. The hour will
soon arrive, where God is going to do some great things for us.
21-7 Now, let us bow our heads for a word of prayer. Lord Jesus, I have
seen it upon other people, but when it come to my own precious wife, it
was in my home then, Lord. I looked at it with my own eyes, felt it with
my own hands, and I... Fif--sixteen years before that it was also, Lord,
known and revealed by You. When anything is spoken, it must be done. You
were showing me, Lord, then that my confidence in what You done for the
people, and would let me know, so I could help them. You brought it to
pass in my own home. That was the first pull. And now the third pull confirmed
the first pull.

22-2 Now, Father, I pray that You'll help me; and in this third pull,
may, O Lord, as You have been speaking for the last couple of years about
it, showing it on marking on mountains, and so forth, and bringing it
on up. Now, I was watching to see what it was until it was completely
confirmed. Now, I pray, Father, that You'll help me to be more reverent
with this than it was before. And may You get glory, as right over this
same pulpit, where the first was said, the second, and now the third.
And what You have said has come to pass; exactly what You said. We believe
You, Lord God.

39-1 From henceforth, Lord... And I made a statement before this, and
I truly said these things from my heart about the pulls and You have told
me; and now, as mysterious as it may seem, if we could only pinch our
inner conscience, and see that those things could not be foretold perfectly
as they are, unless it did come from God...
39-3 How could we see that first thing take place? How could the second
take place? How could the third take place? How could we stand here months
before it happened, and tell what would take place in Tucson, that would
open up the Seven Seals, and bring back the mystery, and reveal the hidden
things of God that's been hid since the beginning of time; and to see
it both testified, witnessed, scientifically proven.

39-5 Lord, we are at the end time. I see the doors will soon be closed,
the doors of opportunity; and while it is daylight, and I can still get
into some of these places, Lord, help me to go.
I'm getting old; give me strength; renew my youth, Lord. Help me that
I might do something out there now that I'm waiting for this great time
to come, that will be here. Help me, Lord, as I go out, that I might be
able under some way to catch that last predestinated Seed that will bring
back the Lord Jesus. Help, oh God.
569 LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS_
JEFF.IN V-2 N-17 SUNDAY_ 63-1229E
41-4 Now, let's bow our heads. Oh, friends, now what? Now, where are we
at? Now we're at the--the end. We're at the time where something has to
be done, said, "Yes," or "No." God's got to be found
right or wrong.
