Question

If one is in an association organization by our government, and can speak the dictates of his own heart, or in the last-day’s Truth, will he be termed as one of the “harlots”?

Answer

Let’s see. “If one in the association organization is…?” Well, see, the association organization; the—the organization, it’s given rights by the government, to speak. See, that don’t have anything to do with his heart. See? Now, if he is a real believer, and born of the Spirit of God, sometime or ot...

Question

Brother Branham, greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Please explain who the man, in Matthew 22:11, the man that didn’t have on a wedding garment, wedding garment on. I know this man could—couldn’t get into Heaven without the wedding garment on. This was a guest, I know, not the Bride.

Answer

Yes, that’s right. He would be a…Yeah, he just slipped in. See? Now look. Now, I…It could take a whole sermon on that. Now I got ten minutes, to pray for the sick and finish this up.

Question

Will the Elijah of Malachi 4 be the same as Elijah mentioned in Revelation 11:3? And is the other witnesses se-…Is the other two witnesses separate individuals, separate?

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

After the Rapture has been taken place, will any of the church be saved in the end, who was not taken in the Rapture?

Answer

No. Huh-uh. Cause, the Blood has done left. You see, there be no intercession. The Gentile age is finished. There’ll be no one saved after the Rapture, or none of the church, huh-uh, the church. “Let him that’s filthy, be filthy still; him that’s holy, be holy still.” See? That won’t take place, see...

Question

Would you please explain about Satan being bound a thousand years, and being loosed for the battle of—battle of Revelation 20:8? What relationship does this have with the Battle of Armageddon as mentioned in the Fourth Seal? Will Gog and Magog be gathered from the people of the new earth?

Answer

Well, this is a long one, and I—I’ll just have to hit the spot of it, see. Now, the first thing, “Will…?” Now, maybe I can’t explain it. I’ll do my best. Will you please explain how Satan is bound a thousand years, being loosed again for the battle of Revelation 20:8? That is not the Battle of Arma...

Question

Concerning the sixty-eight million slain by the Roman Catholic church, what time in history did this take place? And over how long a period of time did this take place?

Answer

Take Schmucker’s Glorious Reformation. I guess some of these scholars have that. And it’s the history of the church. And I forget now just what page it’s on, but it taken place from the time of the—the…the thing was produced, or given to the church, by Saint Augustine of Hippo, Africa. That was A.D....

Question

Will the dispensation of grace be over, after you open the Seventh Seal?

Answer

I hope not. No. No. Friends, don’t get that in your mind now, see. You just go right on. Dig the potatoes, and go to church, and right on. If it takes place in the morning, you be found doing just exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. Don’t—don’t start… See, when you do, you twist the very thin...

Question

After the Rapture of the Bride, when does the church, that had to go through the Tribulation period, stand judgment? (It don’t stand judgment…) Is it before or after the Millennium? For “the church.” Oh, I beg your pardon. Pardon me, ever who wrote this. “When does the church that…?” After the Rapture of the Bride, when does the church, that had to go through the Tribulation period, stand at the judgment? Is it after or before…?

Answer

After! “The rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years,” that didn’t go with the Bride. Let’s see:

Question

You have said many times that communism was raised up by God, to serve His purpose, as King Nebuchadnezzar. Now where did the communism fit into the picture that will…it finally…will finally do? How does it wind up? Many scholars believe that in the kingdom of the north, Gog and Magog mentioned in the Scriptures, goes down against Israel in the—in the…(I can’t make out just what that is. Yeah. Yeah.) I believe, of the…some of the tapes taken, said, you said it would finally drop a…that communism would finally destroy Catholicism, or the Vatican, by an explosion. Is this right?

Answer

Yes. Revelation 16, you’ll find it, and Revelation 18:8 and 12. If the person is here, wants to take this piece of paper, on that, you can look it right up. Yeah. See, “Alas, alas, that great city! For in one hour she has come to her end.” You see, the merchants, and everything else, that brought he...

Question

Brother Branham, you said that Rome would take the government of the Jews at the last three and a half years. That is going the—the first three and a half years of the Tribulation, or will it be the last three and a half years? Is this correct?

Answer

It will be the last three and a half years. That’s right. Not the first, ’cause it’s already passed. Got one more after this one:

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

What manner of body will the wicked have in the last resurrection at the Great White Throne Judgment?

Answer

That sinner will rise in the resurrection to be judged in the body that he has committed the sin in. See? He’ll have to stand the Judgment in resurrection. Resurrection is not replacement, it’s “bringing up that that went down.” When Jesus raised from the dead, He was the same body that went down,...

Answer

Well, I think all crucifix are the same, if I’m not…I’d better look that up. But it’s got I-R-N-I which means “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” See? If that’s what it is, I didn’t know they had any other special or something or other. But them letters means “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews....

Question

Let’s see. Brother Branham, what happens to the people that are—are considered the sleeping virgin when they are judged at the judgment?

Answer

Well, the sleeping virgin will be saved of course. She’ll be saved at the judgment. She’ll never be the Bride, but she is a saved group of people that will come in the judgment, that will not be included in the Bride. But as long as they are virgins, they are before God. See? They are to be saved. H...

Question

Will you please explain the “Body of Christ” in First Corinthians 12:27 and the “Bride of Christ” in Revelation 2:9—9. Is the new Jerusalem spiritual here in—spiritual here in Revelation? It—it—is this the spiritual discernment of the Church?

Answer

No! Now, let’s see if I get this first now, First Corinthians, right quick, First Corinthians the 12th chapter, all right, and the 27th verse.

Question

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

Answer

Now, here’s a Scriptural question I’d like to answer you from the Scriptures, ’cause they’ve asked, “Is it in the Scriptures?” I would that you would turn with me to First Peter 3:18 and 20, you that wants to hear It, whether you asked the question or not, so that you won’t have to take someone els...

Question

Now, were the five of the virgins lost?

Answer

I presume that they are asking the question’s, “the five virgins,” the five wise and the five foolish. Now, if you were with us in the last teachings in Revelation, you find out there that those virgins, the—the five foolish virgins were not lost; but they were not permitted to go into the Wedding S...

Question

Will Ezekiel 38 and 39 come to pass before the Rapture?

Answer

Now if you will notice, Ezekiel 38 and 39 deals with Gog and Magog, which is Russia, the north country. Now, I do not say that this is correct, but to my way of teaching it, that, it comes to pass after the Rapture, after the Church is taken up. And God deals with Gog and Magog when they come down b...

Question

The Lord has told us through prophecy to witness unto others of the things which we have heard and seen here, such as the nearness of the Coming, baptism in the Name, in Jesus’ Name, and such things. We have told these things to some who seem to be Christians, yet they don’t seem to believe. What do you think will happen to those people? Will they go in the Rapture?

Answer

Now, I’m glad you said it that way, “What do you think?” Which that wouldn’t make it right because I would think it. I believe that no man can walk in the Light of God until God reveals It to him. And I don’t believe that any man that…All these hidden things are hid from the people, and no man can s...
