Topic: Moving to be near him

Question

Will there be, or is there now a place for the Bride to gather together to live, like when Moses led the children of Israel?

Answer

I’m going to answer that question for you; it was just revealed to me. I’m going to tell you the truth. Yes, sir! There’s a place for all the Bride to gather. You want to know where it’s at? In Christ. Correct. Just gather in there; we’re all together.

Question

How can we find the will of the Lord? Our—our home to…Should we move our home to Jeffersonville, Indiana? Can a person be a Christian and dislike a colored people? Does God not want them to be treated like us, ’cause they are dark in color? Would you…? What do you suggest in this? Do you believe in integration or segregation?

Answer

I believe in integration. I believe that a man…No matter what his color is or who he is, he’s a man just like I am. That’s exactly. And I believe, if they’d just leave those colored people alone, and them communists didn’t get out there and inspire them… Now, they wanted…Now, the real genuine color...

Question

Do all who go in the Bride have to live within the fifteen hundred miles of the tabernacle (I believe I had that again last Sunday. I’ll just have to pick them up and use them as I can.)—fifteen hundred miles of the tabernacle, as it sounds like on tape number two of the “Future Home of the Bride”? I always thought that the Bride would come out of all parts of the world at the time of the Rapture. Am I wrong?

Answer

No, my dear friend, you are not wrong, you’re right. Now, if I said anything under the tape that would lead you to believe… Now, I haven’t…These are all new to me now, I’ve never looked in—in these here. You see? These are new bunch that I got the other Sunday, and put them back in this envelope, an...

Question

Dearly beloved: (Let’s see.) About the Scripture of Ephesians 4:11 through 13, do we all (Let’s see.)—do we get all the perfecting of saints through the tapes, or should we be here, where the gifts of the Spirit are operating and the different offices of the church, to help perfect us? Our hearts have believed all the Word of the Lord.

Answer

Now this person is from Oregon. Now, my dear…I believe I know who it is. See? It’s…Oh, yes, I do, I certainly do. Your—your boy…If the person’s here, I know you’re…If you’re not, it might’ve been last Sunday. See? This might’ve come in from last Sunday’s. But your—your son flies conservation, see, a...

Question

Brother Branham, we want to be close to your Message as possible. Shall we move to Arizona or Jeffersonville?

Answer

Suit yourself, either one. I sure love you, I don’t care where you go, what you do. But now, as advice, I believe I’d come to Jeffersonville. If you’re going to move anyhow, I’d come to Jeff. I believe I’m here more than I am in Arizona. That’s fine.

Question

Brother Branham, I have some questions I wish to ask—ask you. I have heard people say that you have advised people to sell all their…(Maybe I’d better leave that one alone too. Let’s see. Well, it’s already time to quit. We maybe get this after dinner, but I—I’ll answer this or try my best. I don’t know; it’s just handed to me. See? Billy brought me a handful just there—there at the door. See?) I have heard people say that you have advised people to sell all their homes and follow you to Arizona or—or they would not be in the Rapture. Is this true?

Answer

That’s a lie. See? Uh-huh! …or should we sell our homes, or did you even say this? No, sir! I did not say it! If anything, I’ve advised people not to do it. Uh-huh! Remember, remember Junie Jackson’s dream that time when I went out there? Junie dreamed that he saw this…How many remembers the dream,...

Question

Also, I have heard there is a teaching out, that a book you wrote several years ago about the bread of life…They interpret it that we must all be with you or miss the Rapture.

Answer

Well, the book is wrong. The book of The Bread of Life, I remember that now. That was feed the church universally, everywhere. See, the trouble of it is…Now, now, you people, you’re solid yourself, but you’ve got to have that. That follows every meeting. The—the… I was reading about Martin Luther he...

Question

Also about these families that have sold out and moved to Sierra Vista, Arizona, where they have interpreted from one of your tapes titled (just a minute) Little Bethlehem—Little Bethlehem, the Rapture will take place in Arizona. Did you advise them to go there?

Answer

I certainly did not. When they wrote a letter about that, somebody up here in Connecticut or something, I answered the letter back and said, “You’re making the worst move you ever made in your life. Don’t you do a thing like that.” See, you can’t…Well, you just remember, you people…Now, you all know...

Question

Now, Brother Branham, are we missing out on something? These people claim to believe every word that you say to be true. (But they don’t! They don’t believe it, their own actions prove that they don’t.) Please let me know your straight answer: yes or no (You’ve got it! All right.) about these things, and if it is true, we want to make ready to go join with the rest of them there. Uh-huh. The rest of them…I thank you very much for your answers to these questions, as I will be waiting to hear them this Sunday, if the Lord should tarry.

Answer

Oh, my! Well, brother, sister, I—I hope it’s understood, see, that I did not, do not…Now, if people…Oh, sure, if you want to come out to Arizona to live…And now, I’ll be out in Arizona maybe this first semester. I’ll have to come back here. I’ll have…I—I want to stay there; kids are healthier and ev...

Question

Brother Branham…(There’s another one, different altogether.) Brother Branham, some understood you to say in your message of The Future Home of the Bride and Groom was to be (No, this is different.), be fifteen hundred miles from the tabernacle, square, seven hundred each way (In other words, the tabernacle setting right in the middle would be seven hundred each way, be fifteen hundred miles. Oh!), each way. Is this true? I live outside of this area; should I move into it? (Oh!)

Answer

No, honey, don’t you do that. Look! Now, you see how easy it is for people? How many was here when I preached that message? I said that when I was measuring the New Jerusalem, that it would be fifteen hundred miles square. I said it would reach approximately from Maine to Florida, and six hundred mi...
