EVENING.MESSENGER_ MESA.AZ V-8 N-5 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0116
249 Notice, the end-time messenger, his job will be to get the saints ready, the Bride ready for the Bridegroom. That'll be his Message. Now, you want to learn abc's so you can study algebra later? When these other seals on the back is opened they'll only be revealed to them. That's right. Learn ABC first. What is ABC? "Always Believe Christ," not your creed, Christ. See? Believe what He says, not what somebody else says.
If it's contrary, if a man tells you it's all right for you to cut your hair, women, you know he's lying. The Bible says it's wrong. If he says you can be deacon and still have four or five wives, he's lying. That's contrary to the Word. See? All these other things that we speak of, call it to the Word and see if it's the Word right.
SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-23 SUNDAY_ 61-1224
37-2 Some guy got after me the other day and said, "Why don't you leave them people alone, always hammering at them about the way they dress and the things they do? If you're a prophet..." They said, "People think you're a prophet."
I said, "I know. They've been--said that; I'm not." But I said, "They--they..."
Say--said--said, "Well, they believe you to be, then why don't you teach them how to see visions and walk before God."
I said, "If they don't know abc, how am I going to teach them algebra? If they don't know kindergarten, don't know how to behave themselves, don't know how to look, and act, and dress, and be decent, how you going to teach them prophetic things?"
Jesus said, "If you don't believe the things that's a--here--the earthly things, how you going to believe if I tell you heavenly things?" The things that you can do yourself, stop doing these things. Can't even do that, how are you going to find spiritual things, people. Isn't that right? Yes, sir.
SEVENTH.SEAL.THE_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E
536-2 {75} Now, and we notice this interval now between the 6th and the 7th chapter. Now, the 7th chapter of Revelation here is a--reveals a happening. It's not in here just for nothing. It's not put in between this for nothing. See? It is here for a purpose, and it's a revelation that reveals something.
Notice, how mysterious and how mathematically it fits right into the Scripture (See?), exactly. You believe in God's mathematics? If you don't, you're sure lost in the... You'll sure get lost in the Word. If you start putting a four or six or--or something besides just the mathematical words, running in order, you'll sure have in your scene a cow picking grass in top of a tree somewhere. You'll--you certainly run out, because God does not... His whole Word does run completely in--in--in mathematics. Yes, sir. Perfect, the most perfect... There's no other literature written like It--like It--so perfect in math--mathematics.
327-1 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
Now this messenger of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things. One: According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers. Two: He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the seven seals. It will be these Divinely revealed 'mystery-truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. Exactly so.
328-1 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
But consider this also. This prophet-messenger will be in his nature and manners as were Elijah and John. The people of this prophet-messenger's day will be as they were in Ahab's day, and in John's. And since it is "ONLY THE CHILDREN" whose hearts will be turned, it is only the children who will listen. In the days of Ahab only 7,000 true seed Israelites were found. In the days of John there were also very few. The masses in both ages were in the fornication of idolatry.
PRESUMING_ PHOENIX.AZ WEDNESDAY_ 62-0117
E-36 Our Pentecostal sisters does the same thing, like the world. Someone said the other day, he said, "Brother Branham, people regard you as a prophet. Why in the world don't you teach those people how to get spiritual gifts? Leave off of the way them women dress and those men act. Leave off of it. You got no business saying it. Teach them great, deep, spiritual things."
I said, "How can I teach them algebra, when they don't know ABC's?" How can you give them a college education, and they're not even out of kindergarten? Don't even have common decency to clean yourselves up, and act like Christians, and dress like Christians, and live like Christians, and then talk about spiritual gifts. Come out of kindergarten. They presume that's all right, but it's wrong.
PSALMS 17:1
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips.
PSALMS 17:2
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
ZECHARIAH 14:6
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the light shall not be clear, [nor] dark:
ZECHARIAH 14:7
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening time it shall be light.
MALACHI 4:5
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
MALACHI 4:6
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
JOHN 14:12
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
ROMANS 12:1
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.
TESTIMONY.OF.A.TRUE.WITNESS_ JEFF.IN V-15 N-6 SUNDAY_ 61-1105
230 He said there'd be evening Lights in the last day. The prophet said so. God's true witness said so. There'd be evening Lights. What is an evening Light? The same as the morning Light. The prophet said, "There'll be a day where it wouldn't be night or day," a gloomy time like it is outside today, just enough light to see how to get around. But said, "In the evening time, it shall be Light." What would it be...?... coming back, going back to the early time. "There'd be evening Lights in the last day, shining."
He said there'd be a prophet rise in the last days (Malachi 4), giving the signs of the days of Lot, so forth, also prophesying for the people to return back, turn back to the faith of the first Pentecostal fathers. Turn back to the original. Turn back to the Bible. Get away from organization and denomination and go back to the first. Go back to the original Pentecost, to the original filling of the Holy Ghost, to the original power of God. The Word testifies that that'll happen.
It shall be Light in the evening time,
The path to glory you will surely find;
In the water way, is the Light today,
Buried in the precious Name of Jesus.
Young and old, repent of all your sins,
The Holy Ghost will surely enter in;
The evening Lights have come,
It is the facts that God and Christ are one.
TRUE.SIGN.THAT'S.OVERLOOKED_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-2 SUNDAY_ 61-1112
219 Now, Jezebel and Ahab... Yes, sir. Why? Why do they do it? Why does them women do, keep their hair bobbed off, and wear makeup, and go out and put on shorts when mans are coming by and things like that. Their husbands do it? Because they haven't got a true prophet in their pulpit to tell them the truth. They tell them, "Well, that's no different. That's all right. You don't have to do with that."
You... It is the Word of the Lord. The Bible said any woman that'll put on a garment pertains to a man is an abomination before God. God don't change. How can He change and be God? He's infinite.
TRUE.SIGN.THAT'S.OVERLOOKED_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-2 SUNDAY_ 61-1112
221 They need a true prophet that tells them that that is a sign of the end. The Bible said they would do it. Isaiah the 5th chapter said the women would do that in the last days. Exactly. So there they are.
But they say they got a prophet in the pulpit. Afraid of the Word of God, not... He's afraid of the congregation. Let's pray for God to send us that latter Light, them Evening Light, send us the one that He promised to do to the elected Church that'll tell them what's truth, stand on the Word of God. Let the Jezebels and Ahabs... Then it'll separate them. That's exactly.
RESTORATION.OF.BRIDE.TREE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-15 SUNDAY_ 62-0422
73-5 The evening Lights, the Bible said, would shine in the last day. The evening Light is the same Light in the west, that was the same Light that was in the east. And the same Light that shined in the east, that brought forth the first church that the Romans cut down by their--their pagan worship, and so forth; in the evening Light is the same Light. Now, notice, the same Light...
And what's the evening Light come out for? What is the evening Light for? To restore. Whew. You get it? The evening Light is for the same purpose the morning Light was for: to restore what was cut down by the dark ages through Rome, God is going to restore by shining forth the evening Light. What? Restore the whole Word of God again, the full manifestation of Christ in His church. Everything that He did, just exactly the way He did, would be again in the evening Light. See what I mean? Oh, isn't that wonderful? And to know we're living right here to see It.
RESTORATION.OF.BRIDE.TREE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-15 SUNDAY_ 62-0422
77-1 Restore all the signs, the sign of Lot at the end time. We've went through that. How that Lot... This Angel of Jehovah made flesh among the people, set with His back turned to the tent and said, "Where is Sarah, thy wife?"
"In the tent behind You."
He said, "I'm going to visit you." And Sarah laughed. He said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" Her in the tent... Amen.
Jesus said it'll be the same thing at the coming. Oh, then the evening Light of Malachi 4 comes shining through the darkness (Amen.) to bring the evening Light on the predestinated Word. Hallelujah.
RESTORATION.OF.BRIDE.TREE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-15 SUNDAY_ 62-0422
82-4 Oh, Lord, the Word's been gone out here now; let the evening Light shine, Lord. Make It live. Through Jesus Christ's Name I pray. Amen.
Now, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I take every spirit in here under my control for His glory.
I look down this prayer line. There isn't one person in that prayer line that I know. They're every one strangers to me. All you in that prayer line, that's strangers to me and I don't know nothing about you, your troubles or nothing, raise up your hands, everyone along in the prayer line. How many in the audience is strangers to me, and I don't know nothing about you? You have the same authority out there, as these do here, only I'm singling them out one person at a time.
Here. Let me take this around here, just a minute. Can you hear now with this?
RESTORATION.OF.BRIDE.TREE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-15 SUNDAY_ 62-0422
82f If I be stranger to you, I profess that the evening Lights have come. And the evening Light would be the same as the morning Light. It would reveal the same mysterious fruits of God, spiritually speaking. That is right. I'm only talking to you like He did that woman at the well. He said, "Bring Me a drink." See? I'm saying the same thing. Now, it's not me; it's Him. But if He will reveal to me what you're standing there for (See?), if He will reveal to me what you're there for, then you'll know that He does know all about your life. If He would tell you something that has been (See?), you know whether that's right or not. Then if He knows what has been, can tell you that, you can surely believe Him then for what will be, if He had already what you've done back here. Surely that would reveal the front of it, the back of it, and 'fore of them, all of it, make it right. Will the congregation believe on Him? All right. I believe you'd believe whether He did it or not. You'd still believe it. But here's where He clamps it down.
END.TIME.EVANGELISM_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-5 SUNDAY_ 62-0603
107 See, we're at the end time. But, you see, we've changed dispensations from the old church age of back here where that dismal day was, just join church and put your name on the book; until the evening Light, the restoration, the return again of the Holy Spirit upon the earth; another Pentecost, another sign, another thing was to take place. And the people doesn't believe It, because they're so set like they was in the days of Jesus. See? He told of this day when He was here on earth. He come exactly according to Scripture, then He foretold of this day coming.
END.TIME.EVANGELISM_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-5 SUNDAY_ 62-0603
108 Now, now, we want to think of another one here. I got... If you want to read some of it, Matthew 24. Jesus told of this day; He said the Jews would gather again at the last day. He said, "When you see the, fig tree putting forth its buds, then know the time is at hand. He said, "There'll be "perplexity of time, distress between nations, the sea a-roaring; man failing of heart trouble, constantly," not among the women, now, it's amongst the men. Jesus never said the women, men. Look at the plague. And in that day what would come to pass... That would be the end-time sign, "Hearts failing, fear, perplexed." Revelations, when It spoke, the prophet speaking of this day, he said that there would come a time that the church would be lukewarm, the Laodicean church age in the last day. See? What is it? It's Jesus (the last age) predicting the end of this age.
PRESUMING_ S.PINES.NC SUNDAY_ 62-0610M
E-75 Now, look. He said there would be Light in the evening time. That's to ripen in the evening. The fruits can only ripen by the light. We know that. And that's the top of the tree, the evening light. All the rest of it...
But way back there, that predestinated Word of God, it stayed there all the time because God spoke it. "I will restore it." He will do it, no matter how many organizations and things He has to prune off. There'll be a church without spot or wrinkle, "For I will restore, saith the Lord." It's got to what? All the years that the cankerworm's eaten, all the years that the caterpillar's eaten, all the years that the denominations and suckers and things on the tree took its fruit away, took its vines away, took its bark away, took the life out of it.
But "I will restore, for the root and offspring of David to get...?... I will restore saith the Lord." What is it? He said so. He predestinated it. His Word lays here. Therefore, look. Just exactly the way He done it the first time... He took John, justification. Jesus sanctified the church with His own Blood, and then the Holy Ghost came.
YOU.MUST.BE.BORN.AGAIN_ JEFF.IN V-11 N-5 SUNDAY_ 61-1231M
122 Someone said not long ago (I believe I quoted it here before, I don't know.), said, "Why in the world don't you leave them women and men alone," to me. Said, "Why, then, the people believe you to be a prophet."
I said, "I am not."
"But the people believe you to be. Why don't you teach them how to receive visions, how to do the works of God like that?"
I said, "How can I teach them algebra when they don't know their abc's?" See, see? How can you take a child out of kindergarten and give him a college education today, teach him square root measure? How can you do it when he don't know what abc means? You know what abc means? Always Believe Christ. That's right. Don't believe the church; don't believe their creed; don't believe their doctrine; believe Christ. Why? "To know Him, to know Him is Life." Is that right? Not know His creed, not... He ain't got no creeds. Not to even know His Word, not to know His Word; you got to know Him, know Him as your Saviour in new birth. Like Jesus said to Nicodemus, "If you can't believe earthly things that I tell you, how could you believe heavenly things?" How you going to believe spiritual things that enter into the Spirit, and knowing and seeing visions and things like that to set a school in order like that, when they don't even believe earthly things, can't even believe to wear clothes right, can't even believe to quit their smoking, and quit their lying, lay their temper aside, and all them things, do all these things, or quit lusting? How can you teach people to enter into the Spirit when they got all those things still hanging on them? Yes. Oh, my.
