Topic: Israel and the Jews

Question

What did Brother Branham believe would happen when the Lord finishes with the Gentiles?

Answer

If I was God, if they couldn’t take my word for it, that would settle it. But people still don’t take the Word, then signs and wonders are added into the Church, as Jesus Christ promised to do. And to my honest belief, I believe He’s finishing up right now with the Gentiles, and will turn to the Jew...

Question

Where are we to gather ourselves together? And you said to gather yourselves on the Trumpets.

Answer

I believe, pardner, Sister, whoever it is, you’re—you’re wrong there. I never said gather yourselves on the Trumpets. I said Israel gathered on the Trumpets, not the Gentile Bride. No, no! The Trumpets, the sounding of the Seven Trumpets was to gather Israel (how many know that?) from all over the…Y...

Question

Now, Brother Branham, is it true that—that every Jew, born since Christ came, will be saved? And who are the hundred and forty-four thousand? Are they the predestinated ones to be sealed with the Holy Ghost? And what is their mission?

Answer

There’s about three questions in one, there. But, here, first one: Is—is it true that every Jew born since Christ, that came into the world, is to be saved? No. Nothing will be saved, only those whose names were put on the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world, Jew or Gentile. See?...

Question

All right now. Where are the scattered ten lost tribes of Israel (Genesis 44:49), the tribe of Joseph to the many nations? Simeon, Levi, who had no homeland of their own, but are scattered among the other ten tribes…Where are the ten tribes? Can we locate them?

Answer

Yes, sir! They can be located. Geographically they can be located in the Bible. And God tells us there where they will be in the last days and what will be their end. And right now, I just read a book, that down in Israel where the ones was, where he said that one had dipped his feet in oil and ever...

Question

What position will the church be in when the Gospel returns to the Jews?

Answer

Now, the person that did this, was referring here to Luke, the…He—he told me, our brother, that he was referring to where It said, “The—the Gentiles will trod the walls of Jerusalem till the Gentile dispensation would be finished.” That’s in Luke 21:24. Now listen closely and this may get it. Beauti...

It—it’s went through, it’s pushed through on the paper. …to come to pass during the one thousand years of—of Christ rather than that man can live, as do these modern religionists tell us? Yes, sir. Now, just a minute, to get this right. The questio...

Question

What was the difference between Moab and Israel when both offered the same sacrifices to the same God?

Answer

So what was the difference? Now, here you are. Get it. God, if it comes to being fundamental, if that’s all God requires, He would be unjust if He didn’t recognize both of them. That’s right. If Scripturally fundamentalism is all that God requires, Moab was just as fundamental as Israel, offering th...

Question

Will the Jews still have an opportunity to be saved after the Gentile dispensation comes to a close?

Answer

Oh, my, if that ain’t a dandy! We ain’t got time to go into it real good, but let me tell you this. And you take my word, I’ll show you. By…If you’ll take my word (as I explain it) to God, then you go look it up, see, and then you’ll find out. Cause I imagine…I can’t see the clock, but I imagine it’...

Question

Do you believe that the Jews’—Jews’ return to Palestine is a fulfillment of the Bible prophecy? We heard you were going to Palestine, is that true?

Answer

Yes. Yes, sir. Let me tell you something, one of the greatest…If you want to see what time of year it is, look on the calendar. If you want to see what time of night it is, look at the clock. If you want to see what day you’re living in, look where the Jews are. That’s God’s timepiece. And look! Th...

Question

What does the fig tree putting forth buds in Matthew 24 represent?

Answer

And while I was setting out this afternoon reading. I thought…I happened to turn over to Joel, and I thought…The Lord just spoke to me, something about Joel there and that palmerworm, cankerworm, caterpillar, and locust. And how it had stripped the tree. Now, that tree was represented again in Matth...

Question

When did God's people in Egypt become the church of God?

Answer

Now, we have been studying the Book of Exodus. The Exodus is “the calling out, of the children of God.” They were the people of God as long as they were in Egypt. But when they had their exodus, they become the church of God, for the church, word church, means “called out.” And we believe that we’re...

Question

Why did a Pharaoh rise up who did not know Joseph?

Answer

Now, notice. When the time came for Noah to go into the ark, the doors closed; but they would not close until that time came. It came time, one time, for the children of Israel to be delivered from—from the Egyptian bondage. And when the time of the promise drew nigh, there raised up a Pharaoh who d...

Question

According to Brother Branham, why are the nine spiritual gifts being restored to the church?

Answer

And just before God cut off relationship with the Jews, He put nine spiritual gifts into the Church. And just before the Gentile’s age is over, He’s restoring back in the Church those nine spiritual gifts, giving the Gentile church its last call before turning again to Israel. And now tonight, while...
