Question

Brother Branham, did Jesus change the physical mask several times when appearing to the disciples after His resurrection?

Answer

“Did He change His physical mask?” I—I wouldn’t know, because I think what it was, He didn’t change His mask there. The thing He did, He withheld their seeing or knowing Him. Like those who came from Emmaus, they walked with Him all day and it was withholden from them. And they saw a man on the ban...

Question

Some say Brother Branham is the Son of man. I thought the Pillar of Fire was the Son of man. Am I mistaken?

Answer

Well, that’s a good question, very good. But I am not the Son of man, but a son of man. There’s quite a difference. Jesus Christ was the Son of man, the Son of God, the Son of man, the Son of David.

Question

Brother Branham, in Matthew 12:40, it says, “As Jonas was in—three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” How can it be that day that they say…today that they say He was put in the tomb on Friday evening and rose Sunday morning, making it only two nights and one day?

Answer

Now, if you notice, it said, “As it was” (you see?) in the days when Jonah was in the belly three days and three nights. It’s within three days and three nights, within that three days and three nights, because you can’t make the Scripture lie. The prophet said, “I will not suffer my holy One to see...

Question

Some people say that “Christ was in Hades before the resurrection.” Is this…Is there Scripture for this?

Question

Where was Jesus’ Spirit the three days His body was in the tomb? Where was His Spirit?

Now, His spirit, if you’ll follow the Scriptures,…well, we could just bring many places. But, I wonder, who’s got a Bible? Brother Stricker, you got a Bible? All right. Brother Neville, you got one? Get me Psalms 16:10. And who else? Sister Wood, you got a Bible there? Well, Brother Stricker, (all r...

Question

Please explain the trinity. How can the Son set at the right hand of the Father, interceeding for the…to the Father, if they are not two persons?

Answer

Well, beloved friend, that’s a…that’s—that’s a revelation. If Jesus said, “I and My Father are One,” then how can they be two? See? Now, they’re not two. A woman once said to me, and I was explaining that, said, “You and your wife are—are two, yet you’re one.” I said, “But, God and the Son is diff...

Question

Where was Jesus from His…where was Jesus at from His baptism until the three years of His ministry?

All right. Jesus, when He was baptized, went straightway out of the water, and the Spirit led Him into the wilderness for forty days and nights to be tempted of the devil.

Question

Was all of Jesus power taken away from Him and given to the disciples?

Answer

I love Him. I declare to you, my little audience tonight, that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead.

I’ll be with you, even to the end of the...

Question

Does Jesus weeping at the grave of Lazarus show that He was not Divine?

Answer

She referred to Saint John 11. She said, “Going to the grave of Lazarus, He wept.” And said, “That proves that He wasn’t Divine, because He could weep.” I said, “My, my.” I said, “That argument is thinner than the broth made out of a shadow of a chicken that’s starved to death.” I said, “That thing...

Now, when the Jews questioned (the 19th verse), He said, “Verily, verily.” Now, you Catholic, in—in your translation, in the Douay translation, it says, “Amen, amen.” And the real translation in the King James, from the original Greek, it says—it says, “Verily, verily,” means, “Absolutely, absolutel...

What if He was here tonight in a visible Person? Just as sure as He walked on the Sea of Galilee, He’s right here. He promised to be. And what did He do?

Question

What does he say the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel has to do with the Church today?
