  277    ... a pillar in the temple of my God,... and I will write upon him the name of my God,...

Now, what's the Name of God? Jesus. If you want to jot this down (We're getting a little late.), "Jesus." Ephesians 3:15 said in heaven and earth all's named Jesus. You see? All right. All right. Now. All right.

... and the name of the city of my God, which is the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: I'll put on him... (Oh, you can see it's all the same Name, if you'd already caught it. See, see?)... I'll put on him the name of the city of my God,...

"The City," He goes ahead and say, "which is the New Jerusalem (See?), the New Jerusalem. I'll put on him the New Jerusalem." Now, the Bride, or the church, is the New Jerusalem. How many knows that? The church itself is the New Jerusalem. You believe that?

  282    Now, I think that's just about pretty near got the last of it, and now we'll close in saying that this... Let's see.

And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God... (Which is all the same: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus: the Bride married to Jesus, makes it Mrs. Jesus, and so forth. See?)

There's some mighty fine women in this building tonight, mighty fine, but there's one of them that's mine; she's got my name. I hope you got that. She's bearing my name; so will His Bride. All right.

 

317-2 PHILADELPHIAN.CHURCH.AGE  -  CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.8

And I will write upon him the Name of My God, and the name of the city of My God. And what is the Name of God? Well, He was God with us, or Emmanuel, but that was not His given name. "Thou shalt call His Name Jesus." Jesus said, "I came in My Father's Name, and you received Me not." Therefore the Name of God is JESUS, for that is the Name He came in. He is LORD JESUS CHRIST. And what name does a woman take when she marries the man? She takes his name. It will be His Name that is given unto the bride when He takes her to Himself.

  101    "In His right hand..." Now, do you find out? It is a Pentecostal church; power, signs, wonders being performed all the way along. Now, we're... Went down through the dark ages where It's almost smothered out. Now, let's take this 2nd verse. Oh, I believe we'll just carry on just a--a little bit with this 1st one yet.

I know Thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

Turn over to the next church here; you find out, "But thou hast not denied My Name." Following church, "Not denied My Name." But in this church, "You have a name." Watch here. This church kept His Name; this church kept His Name; this church kept His Name; and this church went through a dark age and there's nothing said about it; when they come out to the Life on this side, the first little escaped one, when Luther pulled them out, "You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead." Now, what name did they use after they quit using Jesus' Name? Father, Son, Holy Ghost. And there ain't no such a thing. It's a dead--it's a dead theology.

 

211-3 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE  -  CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5

It also says here that He is going to give the overcomer a white stone and in (not on) the stone a new name, which the owner alone knows. Now the idea of a new name is a familiar one. Abram was changed to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, Jacob to Israel, Simon to Peter, and Saul to Paul. These names either brought about a change, or were given because of a change. It was only after Abram and Sarai had their names changed by the Lord that they were made ready to receive the coming son. In Jacob's case, he had to overcome and then he was called a prince. In the case of Simon and Saul, when they had received the Lord, their change came. And today each one of us true believers has had a change in name. We are Christians. It is a name common to all of us. But one day we will have another change; we will of a certainty receive a new name. It could well be that name was our true and original name written in the Lamb's Book of Life from the foundation of the world. He knows the name, but we do not. One day at His good pleasure, we will know also.

  75    What have we got, the Pentecostal people today? Too many Rickies. That word, Elvis and Ricky, you never heard of that in other days. It's a word; it's the name for this day. It goes with this. It means something.

You say, "A name means nothing." Then why did He change Abram's name to Abraham? Why did He change Saul's name to Paul, Simon's name to Peter? Why did He change His Own Name?

Why did He change Jacob to Israel? Not until he wrestled with the Lord, not until he overcome. And when Jesus overcome death, hell and the grave, the Bible said He had a new Name. And when Jacob overcome...

And if the Church can overcome, she'll stop saying, "I'm Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian." When she can overcome her creeds and the world that's drawed her in there, she'll come back to the Bride of Jesus Christ, Miss Jesus Christ. Amen.

What a sad sight, as we see Samson standing there.

  64    There's many fine women in this building tonight, fine, loyal women, but there's one Mrs. William Branham. She's the one goes home with me. She's the one that's my wife.

There's fine people in the world, fine churches, but there's one Miss Jesus Christ, and that's who He's coming for. That's where His Name lays. There's where His worship is, in Her and Her alone. That is true. Oh, yes, sir. We find that to be true.

Now, that's why we--all we do in word or in deed we do it in the Name of Jesus Christ. There is not another Name given under heaven for salvation, but the Name of Jesus Christ. Acts the 2nd chapter says that: "For be it known unto you, there's not another Name given under heaven whereby a man must be saved," only in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. I hope you get it. The Name of Jesus Christ, every highest heaven is named Him. All the family in heaven is named Jesus, the Bible said. And all the family on earth is named Jesus. So that's God's chosen Name and where He's put It. That's His place of worship, is in Jesus Christ.

See? That same Quickening Power of God presented in both of these prophets. Look it, their names are almost the same: Elisha, Elijah. See the Bride and the Groom? One of them is Mr. Jesus; the other one is Miss Jesus (See?), almost the same, just--just between the--the He and She. See? Elijah... And look how its represented here.

  313    Now, white rock, he shall have a white rock, this angel shall have. A white stone, that's a rock, isn't it? And a... That's right, purity.

He--He met a man one time and his name was Simon, and He changed his name to Rock, "Peter." Why? He had the keys. Is that right? He changed his name and made him a rock. Is that right? Peter had the keys, because he was the one who had the keys to the Kingdom.

"A new name, a new name written in this rock that nobody knows but he himself." He knows who he is, but he can't tell others. See, see? No one knows but himself. See? Peter knows he had the keys, but you didn't hear him bragging about it. See? These guys who brag about what they are is usually nothing. "A white rock, and in it a new name," not his own name, but he's somebody else (See?) that only he himself knows (he that's got the rock, the name). See, special manna to feed the church, remember.

  33    Did you notice Abraham was called Abram, but when God went to use him, He changed his name to Abraham. S-a-r-r-a was Sarra, but when God was going to use her, He changed her name to S-a-r-r-a-h: Sarah, "princess." Did you notice Jacob? "Jacob" was "supplanter." Esau means "red, hairy and red"; red-headed, and red all over, is Esau. Now, and Jacob was "supplanter." And "supplanter" is a "deceiver." Didn't Esau say, "Isn't his name called Jacob, 'supplanter'?" But when he wrestled with the Lord all night long, and overcome, and was blessed, God changed his name: Jacob, Israel, "a prince with God." Paul was called Saul until he met the Holy Spirit in the form of a Light that shined down upon him; his name was changed from Saul to Paul. Simon, when he met Jesus, He changed his name to Peter. That...

And when Jesus overcome, His Name was changed. And He would reveal that Name, "He that would be with Him, overcome as He has, he received a new name; and I'll reveal My new Name to him." See? And every overcomer, I mean, among such as that, them leaders and so forth. Now, all the children of Israel didn't get their name changed, of course. That's right. But those high leaders, when they overcome, they had received a new name. See how it dovetails in just perfectly?

  16    Now, we've had the church ages now on down until tonight's church age is the sixth church age. Tomorrow night finishing up the church ages, taking one each night, Monday through Sunday... And tonight the church age is called the Philadelphian Church Age. And the star or the--the messenger, angel messenger to that church age, we believe, solemnly, with all of our heart, to be John Wesley.

The church age begin at 1750 when the Lutheran church age went out and lasted up to somewhere in 1900, around 1906 A.D., the Wesleyan church age. And then issued in from that, the Laodicea.

And now, the age is the age of, church age of brotherly love, the great missionary age and the open door age. And the reward was a--a pillar, made a pillar, and the revelation of three Names: the Name of God, the Name of the City of God, and God's New name, is the revelation that was given to this church, this age. And now, the church... This age begins in Revelations 3:7 down to the 13th verse, and the 13th verse inclusive, Revelations 3:7 to 13.

 

318-1 PHILADELPHIAN.CHURCH.AGE  -  CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.8

  "And I will write my NEW Name upon him." My New Name. When ALL becomes new, then He will take upon Him a new Name and that Name will be the Name of the bride also. What that Name is, none dare conjecture. It would have to be a revelation of the Spirit given so conclusively that none would dare deny it. But no doubt He will leave that revelation to the day when He desires to give that Name forth. Suffice it to know that it will be more wonderful than we could ever imagine.

  158-3  {283}    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?

  E-26    And to show him what He was going to do, He changed his name in the 17th chapter. And He changed Sarah's name. That's right. Watch those names, mean something. Why did He change Jacob's name to Israel? Why did He change Saul's name to Paul? Why did He do all those things? After He overcome and entered into glory He said that His Name was changed. In Revelations it's given a promise to those that overcome, He would make known His new Name. That's right. Every time they overcome they was given a new name.

  E-73    "You're name is called Simon; hereafter you'd be called Peter. You was Saul, but you'd called Paul from now on." How about all these names, if they don't mean something?

"Oh," you say, "that's numerology." The Devil's got one (that's right), and God's got one. Everything the Devil's got, he's patterned it off of God. Exactly right. Changed his name...

After Jesus overcome He received a new Name Himself. Every overcomer... The church when it's completely overcome, the revelation of it begins to be real to them... Why was He called that? Why is He a Messenger today, than when the man is... Just like it was in Eden, he destroyed himself by his own knowledge. And today, he's doing the same thing: destroying himself with his own knowledge. Watch now. Just a few minutes before we close. We got... Really got thirty minutes, but we won't have to take it. Look. I want to ask you something.

Now, he went down and preached, them Angels did. This other One stayed behind: Messenger.

  471-3  {98}    4. What is the--the name of the--that'll be on the people of Revelations 3:12?

I--I don't know. Yeah. He said give them a new name. I--I--I don't know what that is. See? It'll be probably made known when we get there, but I--I don't know what it is now. See? See, He is going to do that. See? He give them a new name that--that they just knowed themselves. See?
