Brother Branham, I would like to know about the Millennium. Is it after the Marriage Supper, or—or is it on earth? All about it. I do—don’t understand about it.

Well, Brother or Sister, it’s hard for me to understand it, myself. But only thing I can say is this: that the Marriage Supper comes before the Millennium. Now, see, somebody, I know somewhere in here has got a question on that, that said, “Brother Branham, you’re—you’re wrong on the seventy weeks...

Brother Branham, would the Lord permit you to instruct us on the marriage and divorce question at this time? Question: Can a man marry a woman and be divorced by her and then marry another? If both of them marry another, are they both committing adultery? You mentioned it would tie into serpent’s seed. How so?

Now, here—here is one of the most treacherous questions that we have in these bunches, and it’s the most questioned in the—in the—in the world today. Now, hear me, and I have a reason for this. If I really brought to this church and on this tape this morning, the correct thing about marriage and div...

Why is it that we make so much of a big issue of women’s dress (Oh, oh, I’m getting it on this one, ain’t I?)—big issue of women’s dressing and cutting of hair, and do…nothing said about the hair of the man or the way he dresses?

Well, sister, I’m going to agree with you one thing. First place, the Bible said that a man should not have long hair. And if he had long hair, I’d tell him, just the same as I tell you. He’s wrong. But most men, lot of them’s like me, don’t have any at all. But most men cut their hair, look like me...

For Sunday services: If a woman commits a wrong with a…(Now, wait a minute; I better read this first to myself.

If a woman commits a wrong with a—a married man, repents and makes it right with her husband according to the Scriptures, does she need to go to the wife of the man involved, even if this wife doesn’t know anything of it; or is it the man’s duty to tell her first; or does she need to be hurt at all? How far can we go with this restitution when it is over and done, and when friendship is involved?

Well, my dear Sister, there’s only one thing that you have done which is right. You was involved, I guess, or somebody that you know of was involved, in a wrong act, that you taken another woman’s companion and had a social act. And when you did, there you fell from your grace.
