Question

It…Is the seventh angel, as spoken of, of Revelation 10, the same person as Elijah of Malachi 4? Did I answer that? That don’t sound like I answered that.

Answer

Yes, it’s the same person. Revelation 10 is the seventh angel’s Message, which…seventh angel messenger of the Seventh Church Age, which is Malachi 4. Is birth control… I have a lot on that. I just throwed these back, and I—I didn’t want to answer; I’d rather see you privately.

Question

In Malachi 4, this Elijah is to take the hearts of the fathers to the children, and then the hearts of the children to the fathers. Is this the same person?

Question

Brother Branham, is the seventh angel, with the spirit of Elijah, the same man as the Elijah sent to the hundred and forty-four thousand Jews during the three and a half years after the Rapture? Some of us are mixed up, in this.

Answer

No. He isn’t the same. See, it’s two different men. The Elisha that come in the form of Elijah was not Elijah. And the spirit of Elijah who came upon a man called John the Baptist was not Elijah. And the man of the seventh angel messenger, at the end of the Laodicean Age, will not be the literal Eli...

Question

Answer

Yes. The Elijah of Malachi 4 will not be the Elijah of Malachi 3. We went through that, last night. “And is the other witness separate, two of them?” Yes, sir, Moses and Elijah; to our revelation. Now, I don’t want to hold you here too long.

Question

Brother Branham, I understand that Elias must be three times. You tell us that he has been twice already, and will come again. Now, will the person, that the spirit of Elias will be upon, also be of the two witnesses of Moses and Elias over there?

Answer

No. No. He will be a Gentile, see, to the Gentile Church. God sends, always, to his own people, see. “He came to His Own; His Own received Him not.” He always sends His, the Message of the hour. When God was dealing with the Jews, there wasn’t any Gentile prophets come. When God is dealing with the...

Question

My dear brother, will the Malachi 4:5 Elijah go to the wilderness, as First Kings 17 tells us the other Elijah did?

Answer

Well, I wouldn’t exactly say that he would, that he would go to the wilderness. But he’ll be this, you see, he was…Elisha and Elijah, did you notice? Most men like that are men who are away; they, they keep away from the people. They’re very odd. They don’t associate too much with people. You notic...

Question

When God takes a prophet off the earth, what happens to the Spirit that was on him?

Answer

See, always remember this, God takes His man off the earth, but never takes His Spirit; His Spirit comes right back down this way: It come upon Elijah; went off of Elijah onto Elisha; off of Elisha, and come on John the Baptist; off of John the Baptist, is predicted to come again in the last days; t...

Question

When God takes a man from the earth, does He also take the Spirit that was on him?

Answer

Now, if I come to you tonight…Listen closely. If I come to you tonight and said that I had the spirit of—of a criminal, John Dillinger, that John Dillinger’s spirit was upon me, you’d expect me to have big guns and be an outlaw like he was. If I had his spirit, that’s what I would do. You know, God...

Question

When God takes His man from the earth, does He take His Spirit too?

Answer

And now, everyone listen as close as you can, and—and believe with all your heart. Now, I’m not a speaker, and I don’t aim to preach. That’s right. But I just want to speak a few words so that your faith will not fail you now. Now, we’ll talk for a moment about gifts. The gifts of God has always bee...
