Question

Brother Branham, would you please explain Mark 13:27? Also, Brother Branham, what about the people in Revelation 20:7 and 9, what…that make war against the saints? Where do they come from? Will there be a carrying over as with—the Noah’s family?

Answer

Revelation 13 or…No. Mark 13:27, Brother Neville. Revelation 20. You got your Bible there, Brother Capps? Revelation 20, and it looks like 7 and 9. I think I, while they’re getting it…Here, he’s got it right here. Revelation, what was it now? Mark 13:27, 13:27. And then shall he send his angels, and...

Question

Brother Branham, when you gave the message on the seventy church weeks…seventy weeks (Pardon me.) of Daniel, I believe that you mentioned that the full—the full last week or last seven years will begin when the Bride was taken in the Rapture.

Answer

No, no, no, no, no, nah, nah, nah! You got that wrong (see?), not the full seven weeks. The—the week started when Jesus came on earth. He said, “The Messiah, Prince, shall come and prophesy, and in the midst of the seven weeks, He’ll be cut off.” And Jesus preached exactly three and a half years, wh...

Question

Since then, it seems like the first three and one half years was fulfilled during the ministry (Well, here you’ve got it right here.) of—of Jesus, but the expression, “midst of the weeks” seems to be applied only to the antichrist breaking his covenant with the…(No, that antichrist breaks his covenant at the end of the last three and one half years. See?) As I understood Daniel tape, the first sixty-nine weeks ended when Jesus rode into Jerusalem A.D. 30, so that three and one half years of His ministry would be included in the sixty-nine weeks; and the full last weeks—and the full last week or seven years would still be fulfilled and would begin at the Rapture. Please clarify this for me.

Answer

You know, brother, sister, ever who it is that’s asked this question. Very fine (see?), but I believe you got a little mixed up on what I said. See? Now, the…When Jesus came into Jerusalem (that is exactly right), that was the end of…See? He went right straight in from there and was crucified. See?...

Question

Very urgent. Brother Branham, knowing that time is ending and eternity setting in, what would be your advice for a couple planning marriage?

Answer

Go right ahead and get married. See? Go right on just like if you was going to live for another hundred years here on earth. Just go right on; keep your heart set on Christ, not your hearts on these things of the world, but on Christ. See? Go right on; get married, children. God bless you in your we...

Question

Question: Brother Branham, where will the Bride be when the earth explodes and burns up? Will It be in a place like the children of Israel were in Goshen when the plagues fell? Will the Bride be on earth while this takes place? If so, where? And will the Bride all be in one place at the time of the Rapture?

Answer

The Bride, when the earth explodes…The time of the Rapture will be the awakening of the dead and the get-togethering of the living, for…with the living, for the Rapture to take place. Now, but the Bride…Now, see, one of them is a Rapture way back here before the Millennium. And when the earth burns...

Question

After the Bride is raptured will any of the foolish virgin be saved or will they all be lost?

Answer

No! See, everything will be finished for the Gentile church when the Bride is taken from the earth. The Spirit of God leaves the earth: “He that’s filthy is filthy still; he that’s righteous is righteous still; he that’s holy is holy still.” In other words the sanctuary becomes smoky, where the—the...

Question

Dear Brother Branham, if a baby is born of a…out of wedlock, can this child ever be saved or go in the Rapture?

Answer

Saved? Why sure, I believe the child could be…The child can’t help what’s been done. That is true. But I…About going in the Rapture…Saved, I’d say, “Yes.” But in the Rapture it’s a predestinated seed that goes in the Rapture. And I can’t believe that adultery was a predestinated seed. You understand...

Question

Brother Branham, is—is it too late to preach to sinners anymore?

Answer

No! No! Don’t get that in your mind, brother. Keep on building on the house. Keep doing everything you can. Just keep on going till you’re called away. See?

Question

Is it too late for jail services and such work for a testimony to try to save souls? Also should one sell all they have now, the Lord is coming so soon?

Answer

Well, how—how do you…I hope I haven’t said anything that would cause you to believe such as that. Have I? If I have, forgive me! I don’t mean…See? Don’t just presume those things. Keep right on going, preaching, having jail service, getting everybody, and don’t… Looky here. The Seventh Day Adventis...

Question

Brother Branham, if a man has been married and divorced (Isn’t that awful, see, so many? Now, I’m not saying nothing against the people; just that’s on the people’s mind. Sure, they’re troubled. The Rapture, people used not to think so much about that; it wasn’t so much of it. But now, it’s just plastered the world. And the people read these things in the Scripture. And people, Elected, out there is coming in to look at it. And they see it, and they’re sincere. They want to know. That’s the reason I want to answer it just as with much sense to it as I can give it you.)—has been married and divorced and then remarried of a woman who has also been married and divorced and then married to him, and these two can—can…married in God’s sight…are they married in God’s sight? How can both or one of them be in the Rapture?

Answer

How? I don’t know. I couldn’t tell you. The question is, “Can they be in the Rapture?” Divorced, each one of them divorced, each one of them has a living companion, then they married again, both of them married again. And now, one that…This woman has a living husband; this man has a living wife. And...

Question

Will all borned again believers go in the Rapture?

Answer

No, just the remnant, just the remnant, not all born again believers. The Bible said, “And the rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years,” and then they was raised and separated, the sheep from the goats. Not all borned again will go in the…according to Scripture.

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

Brother Branham, I would like to know about the Millennium. Is it after the Marriage Supper, or—or is it on earth? All about it. I do—don’t understand about it.

Answer

Well, Brother or Sister, it’s hard for me to understand it, myself. But only thing I can say is this: that the Marriage Supper comes before the Millennium. Now, see, somebody, I know somewhere in here has got a question on that, that said, “Brother Branham, you’re—you’re wrong on the seventy weeks...

Question

What does this mean? Matthew 24:19: “Woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!” Strangely, not knowing that, I was going to say this about the woman, and here it is in this time, the first question.

Answer

Now, Matthew 24:19. Jesus had been asked three questions. In these questions was that: When will the time be there won’t be one stone left on another? and, What will be the sign of the coming of the end of the world? and—and three different questions He was—He was asked. And He answers it in three d...

Question

Matthew 24:24: “And there shall rise false prophets, and false christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders.” How shall we recognize them?

Answer

“There shall rise…” In that now you’re coming on down into another age. See? “…raise false christs and false prophets.” A false christ is a false anointed, because Christ is the Anointed. How many knows that the Christ means “the anointed One”? There will be false anointed ones, and they’ll call the...

Question

Matthew 24:26 (next) speaks of a “certain chamber” and “in the desert places.” What does this mean?

Answer

It means that there will be antichrists, anti-anointings, so forth. And what is anti? Anti is “against.” It’ll be these same creatures against the Word. “And they’ll be in the desert and the secret chambers.” Then He said, “Don’t go after it. Stay away from it.” See? Now the fourth question:

Question

Will the Bride be gathered together in one place at the Rapture, and will it be in the West?

Answer

Nope, it don’t have to be there. Yeah, the Bride will be gathered together in one place. That is true, but not until the resurrection. See? “For we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord…” Ephesians, or, Second Thessalonians the 5th chapter, I believe it is. “We which are alive and r...

Question

Brother Branham, here is a question that’s been sort of puzzling to several of us here. One—on—on (pardon me) on some tapes you speak only of the Jews being saved after the Bride is raptured. (And it’s a line across.) Please explain fully about the Gentiles that don’t go in the Rapture. I thought you said that the Gentiles that were left went through the Tribulation and gave their lives for a testimony of Jesus. When He returns from the Gentiles to the Jews…when He turns from the Gentiles to the Jews, then there isn’t any more chance for the Gentiles being saved, just the Gentiles who have been saved, but not received their last day Truth will go in the Tribulation Period and then be saved in the end. Is this right? Please explain, because you said that there would be just a small number go in the Rapture. What about the people that believed in the Lord—believes in the Lord now and the way…and don’t believe the way you preach for this end-time-day Message? Will they be saved? And then the sister signed her name.

Answer

Now, very good question. Now, the first place, the confusion is, is what I have said about the Gentile’s days be done when the Tribulation…in the Tribulation. Now, I do not see the Gentiles in the Bible…The Gentile Bride, Bride, not the Gentile church now, the Gentile church will go through the Trib...

Question

…this the Third Pull and is speaking the Word. It seems entirely possible for you to speak the word and one would be completely and fully restored, placed entirely ready for the Rapture in the resurrection, the Son of man. This is so, or is it not? And you would do this if properly pressed upon, would you not? “Escape all these things (it’s got a ditto there)—escape all these things and stand before the Son of man”? (Luke 21:36)

Answer

Now, my—my dear friend. See? Now, I think here that you—you—you got a—you got a good statement. Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Now, that would be so. You said, “Brother Branham…” In other words, here’s what I’m…I don’t think that it’s…I can…I believe I…Not polishing up what you said, but I believe I can make i...

Question

Could you please explain who the group of Revelation 20:4 is? Are they the part of the Bride of the past or in the future?

Answer

They are the Bride completely, both past and now. They are the Bride complete, because they are living in the Millennium. All right.
