I THESSALONIANS 4:13

  13       But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

 

I THESSALONIANS 4:14

  14    For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

 

I THESSALONIANS 4:15

  15    For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

 

I THESSALONIANS 4:16

  16    For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 

I THESSALONIANS 4:17

  17    Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 

SEED.NOT.HEIR.WITH.SHUCK_  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-4  THURSDAY_  65-0218

  63    That's why the rapture is different and will only be for the Royal Seed of Abraham. It cannot come by the natural, carnal seed of the church. It'll have to be the Royal Seed of the Word of God through Abraham, the Royal Seed. That's why the rapture has to be first, 'cause remember, "we which are alive and remain shall not hinder, prevent those which are asleep. For the trumpet of God shall sound, the dead in Christ shall rise first. We which are alive and remain shall be caught up with them together and meet the Lord in the air." Notice, and again it's written, "And the rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years."

Therefore, they're--they will not be heirs together; they'll not be in the rapture together. There's absolutely a church natural and church spiritual, a church carnal, a church spiritual.

 

TURN.ON.THE.LIGHT_  PHOENIX.AZ  V-22 N-3  SATURDAY_  64-0125

  101    That pyramid is so perfect, if any of you has been there. You can't run a razor blade hardly. The--they had no mortar in it, as far as we know. The architecture of it was so great. Now, they lost the headstone. They don't know where it's at. Now, when that headstone returns, it'll be just like the rest of it; it will blend in with the stone that's left open. If you should put the headstone on it, it'd have to be that way.

And when Jesus returns, He'll find a Church that's washed, without spot or wrinkle, and it'll be the same ministry He had. It'll bring back the Headstone.

 

WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_  SPOKANE.WA  THURSDAY_  62-0712

  E-84    "Sirs, We Would See Jesus." What more would it be, if a man come in here with blood over him, and nail scars, and things... Jesus, when He comes, every eye shall see Him, every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess when the Body of Jesus returns. I believe in His literal coming, corporal body, descending from the heavens with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, the trump of God. The dead in Christ shall rise. But His Spirit is here with us.

And as the church, like the pyramid, comes into a--a point, so has the church in the days of Luther, days of Wesley, days of Pentecostal. And now just before the Headstone comes into it, that church has to be honed so perfect, till the same ministry that He did here, His same Spirit, so predominant, will bring that same Body right into it, and resurrect the whole thing. That's exactly. Amen. Glory to God.

 

STANDING.IN.THE.GAP_  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-7  SUNDAY_  63-0623M

  77    And now, after the Bible had been interpreted completely, then you notice, it opened up the top of the pyramid-like rock (Not pyramid teaching, now, not that, because I... The men who teach that pyramid doctrine... I guess they know what they're talking about. I know nothing about it.). But however, in--it is in the shape of a pyramid. But the cap on the pyramid was never put on. Now, I've been in Cairo and--and in Egypt and--and the cap never did come, because it was a cornerstone, it was a headstone. In the church It was the cornerstone. In the full church, It was the Headstone. So It never did come. It was rejected: Christ. And It will come. And I believe that when It's coming, that the Church will shape into a place from justification under Luther, sanctification under Wesley, and the Pentecostal message; will bring the church to such a minority. And a ministry will be among those people till it'll be exactly the same ministry that Jesus Christ did. That'll bring Jesus and catch the whole thing away.

 

MIGHTY.GOD.UNVEILED_  PHIL.PA  V-3 N-22  MONDAY_  64-0629

  23-1    And notice, Paul said here, "Changing from glory to glory." You see, finally it comes to its--back to its original glory. It's just like a seed of a morning glory. The seed of a flower, it falls into the ground. The seed of corn falls in the ground. What's the first thing? It comes up, and it's a little sprout; then it goes to a tassel. Then from a tassel back to its original grain.

Well, that's exactly what the church has done. It come from Luther, Wesley, and now, back to the original grain, back to its original glory, back to the glory it was at the beginning. The sun that rose in the east is the same sun that's manifesting the same thing in the west, changing from glory to glory.

It changed from the pagan down into Luther, and from Luther down into Wesley, and from Wesley out into Pentecost, and on and on, changing from glory to glory, producing the hidden manna. And now, it's ripe to bring Him back exactly like He was at the beginning, His same ministry, the same Jesus, the same power, the same Holy Ghost. The same One that come down on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Ghost that's manifested today: from glory, into glory, to glory, and back to its original seed with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the same signs, same wonders, same baptism, same kind of people acting the same way, with the same power, the same sensation. It's from glory unto glory. And the next will be changed from this glory into a body like His own glorious Body where we shall see Him. Abraham saw the same.

 

MODERN.EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY_  SBD.CA  V-7 N-6  MONDAY_  65-1206

  263    Notice now, they had done to Him just exactly what the prophets said they would do, just as they are doing to this very same day in the Laodicean age. If you want to look at it, read Revelations 3: "Blind, naked, and don't know it. Turning Christ..." When He begins to reveal Hisself into the seed form again, the same One that went into the ground come back to be the Bride; just the Bride and the Groom is the same flesh and blood, the same ministry, the same things, doing just exactly what He done; the Spirit...

 

GOD'S.COVENANT.WITH.ABRAHAM_  SIOUX.FALLS.SD  THURSDAY_  56-0223

  E-73    You'll stumble as sure as the world. Let your eyes be set straight on Calvary, and look close. Could you imagine Elisha taking his eyes off of Elijah? Certainly not. He kept his eyes right on him like that. "If you see me when I go away, you'll get what you ask for." He watched him.

And when the chariot of fire come down and picked him up, Elijah took off his mantle and throwed it back, and Elisha took that same mantle and done a double portion with it. Elijah done eight, and he done sixteen (Hallelujah.), a very type of Christ.

He said, "These things that I do, greater than this shall you do, or more than this shall you do, for I go to My Father."

And when God made the covenant with Christ, Christ made it with the Church, and the same Holy Ghost was on Christ will have to be in the Church, or It won't go in the rapture.

 

FAITH_  PRINCE.ALBERT.SK  WEDNESDAY_  56-0815

  E-63    And brother, the only way in the world that the covenant will ever be keeped, or be kept, is when you and I receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost that God tore Christ apart and sent the Holy Ghost down for you and I. The only way we'll be able to go up in the rapture is when that body comes to receive the Spirit again, the raptured people that's in the covenant. And the covenant is the circumcision by the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that's Abraham's seed. Amen. Whew. I feel like shouting myself. My.

God made the promise, and He tore Christ apart at Calvary. And on Pentecost, He sent the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and the Spirit that was in Christ is in you and you're a new creature. "And the works," Christ said, "that I do shall you do also; even to the end of the world I'll be with you." Hallelujah.

Oh, my. Friends, when I think of it to see how perfect it is that the Scripture lays on it. You may think I'm excited, but I'm not excited. If you felt like I did, you'd do the same and act the same.

 

RESTORATION.OF.BRIDE.TREE_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-15  SUNDAY_  62-0422

  76-2    First line, justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, then coming of the Cap. What is it? That Holy Ghost bunch being honed out, so that it can fit with the same kind of ministry He had when He went away; that when He comes back it'll catch the whole thing in the rapture, where they're justified, sanctified, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That pyramid will stand again. The house of God will live again. The Tree of Life is growing again.

 

END.TIME.EVANGELISM_  JEFF.IN  V-10 N-5  SUNDAY_  62-0603

  222    Getting the Bride ready, that's what it is. Now we're going to end right here by saying this. The end-time message is to get the Bride ready and prepared for the rapture. What can it do? According to Malachi 4, is bring them back to the faith that was once delivered to the saints: bring them back to the faith of the fathers, the Pentecostal part, in the restoration time. "I will restore, saith the Lord." That's real event--end-time evangelism.

 

CONVINCED.AND.THEN.CONCERNED_  CHICAGO.IL  MONDAY_  62-0521

  E-31    Now, John was so sure that he was going to see the Messiah, till he said, "He's in our midst now." Now, watch.

Notice. There's a great big difference in the sign of Jesus appearing, and then Jesus coming. There's two different words, means two different things: the appearing of the Lord, and the coming of the Lord.

Now, the appearing of the Lord is now, when He's appearing in His people, His Spirit working among them, proving that it's Him with them, getting them ready for the rapture, for the coming of the Lord to catch away His--the Bride (See?): the appearing and the coming. All right. Now.

Now, the thing we have to do if we can believe it, and be concerned about it, first we've got to be convinced that it is God. Then when we're convinced, then we are concerned. I like that. All right.

 

PERSEVERANCE_  S.PINES.NC  FRIDAY_  62-0608

  E-93    So the church... Now, if the Headstone come in Luther's time, look what a out-of-the-way place it would've been. Look if it come in Wesley's time. It's got--it'll come in its own predestinated time. But the church will be honed in such a condition until the church's ministry will be so close, and be just exactly the same kind of ministry that Jesus had, to make it all fit together for the rapture. Like, the head knows more than the feet. See? The eyes are more use than the feet. The eyes is a prophet of the church. It foresees. See? And all these things come in the head, the head part.

Now, I want to ask you a question. Excuse me, brethren. This may be off the beaten path. But if I'm wrong, you forgive me, and you brothers out there. I believe that the church will have to come to that spot for the rapture to be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. I believe that we're living in that day, that when the church will certainly be in the minority. It'll be a small group.

 

TAKE.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_  SANTA.MARIA.CA  SUNDAY_  62-0701

  E-54    Why, it's so... Them rocks laying up there of hundreds of tons, laying up there, it's so close together without mortar that you can't run a razor blade between them. And when the Headstone comes, Christ comes to His temple, it'll have to fit perfect like the rest of it. And the ministry of the Pentecostal church will have to get so perfect till it'll fit right in with the same ministry that He had here, which will take the whole thing in the rapture, being the church. Right.

Now, "When the enemy comes in like a flood, He raises a standard against it." Now, watch. In Eden He gave them His Word for their Armor, just the Word spoke. Then the enemy came in like a flood, and He took the Word and made it flesh to dwell among us, a little stronger. From up there speaking, here He is walking on earth. Glory. Going to call me a holy-roller anyhow, so you might as well get used to it now.

 

FOURTH.SEAL.THE_  JEFF.IN  THURSDAY_  63-0321

  308-5  {210}    Watch Christ. First coming, He come a mortal to bleed and die. Is that right? That's His first coming. The second coming is the rapture. We meet Him in the skies, immortal. His third coming, He's the incarnate God (Amen. Yeah.), God Emmanuel to reign on earth. That's right. Only three...

Fourth stage of the rider... Watch. The fourth stage of this rider is called death. Death means eternal separation from God. That's what death means: to be eternal separated from God.

Now, if we place this fellow out, class... If we have showed by the Bible who that fellow is... And we even took the hills, the place and everywhere just exactly in detail right on down. And now, he's called by the eagle, death. That's what He calls him.

 

CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-7  SUNDAY_  63-0728

  37-4    The new birth is Christ, is a revelation. God has revealed to you this great mystery, and that's the new birth. Now, what are you going to do when you get all that group together, where the revelation is perfectly in harmony, and God expressing it through His Word by the same actions, the same things that He did, making the Word manifest? Oh, if the Church only knew its position. It will one day. Then, the rapture will go when it knows what it is.

Now, notice. You say, "Brother Branham, but that--that ain't..." Oh, yes, it is, too. It is the Truth.

 

UNITING.TIME.AND.SIGN_  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-10  SUNDAY_  63-0818

  91    God is uniting His Bride. She's coming together from the east and the west, from the north and south. There's a uniting time, and that's on right now. What's She uniting for? The rapture! Amen. God's getting Her ready. Yes, sir, uniting, what's She uniting with? With the Word. "For all heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away." She's uniting Herself with THUS SAITH THE LORD regardless of what any denomination or anybody else says. She's uniting Herself. She's getting ready. Why? She is the Bride. That's right. And She's united Herself with Her Bridegroom (See?), and the Bridegroom is the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us."

 

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.

 

 

WORLD.AGAIN.FALLING.APART_  SHP.LA  V-17 N-4  WEDNESDAY_  63-1127

  146    But the Church of the living God, that Bride moves right on just the same. And She'll go in the rapture by the Word (That's right.); the Word and the Word will come together. If we're a part of Christ, part of It, we have to be His Word, 'cause He is the Word. That's right. Yes, sir.

 

CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-7  SUNDAY_  63-0728

  35-3    Now, watch. He said, "Who do you say I am?" He's asking the Church, His twelve. Out of the millions of that day, He asked twelve, His Church.

In the millions in the days of Noah, He asked eight. See? And He said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man (See?), where eight souls were saved." I don't say going to be eight saved now; now don't get that all wrong. I never said that. I don't know how many's be--going to be saved in that--that--that's--that last moment to rapture that little group. It'll be a small group; I'll tell you that. "For strait is the gate and narrow is the way, but few there'll be that'll find it."

 

SPOKEN.WORD.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-2  SUNDAY_  62-0318E

  127-1    Now, this ministry here has to hone into a place till the very same works that Jesus did... Because when He comes, the Headstone will catch right into it, because they won't... There'll be a rapture come, and they'll be taken, and the rest of the body will come with it; and she'll be gone into heaven. Not a denomination, friends; a church of the Word of God... You believe it? Here's some handkerchiefs here.
