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.

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,...

Question

What likeness will we be in the resurrection?

Answer

As we were when we went down. Exactly, resurrection…Just—just think of this. This book falls to the floor, and I take this book, a different book, and replace it. That isn’t resurrection. Resurrection is “bring up the same one that went down.” Was Jesus resurrected? Did they know Him? Was He standin...

Question

Now, here’s one that’s really a sticker. Question (I think it’s the same person, ’cause it looks like the same handwrite): If a person must have the Holy Ghost to be—have the Holy Ghost to be converted and to go in the rapture, what will be the state of children that have died before the years of accountability? And when will they rise?

I can prove that by God’s Word. Yes, sir, and you’ll be young there forever. Not one hair that’s fel...

Question

Is raising the dead psychology?

Answer

Jesus one time had congregation like that, took a man by the hand and led him outside the city. Is that right? He went into another place where they was all crying and weeping and going on.

Question

In the resurrection, do people come back as angels or as themselves?

Answer

God is a God of variety. And all Christianity is based upon the resurrection. If I drop this letter on the floor…Now, resurrection is not put this one in its place, but resurrection is bring up the same letter that went down in its place again. Is that right? Therefore, Christianity is based on resu...

Answer

And the—the principle of Christianity is based upon resurrection, not reincarnation, resurrection. If this belongs right here, this slip, and I drop that down.

At what age will people come back in the resurrection?

Answer

When a man gets past about twenty-five years old, he finds a few wrinkles under his eyes, and some gray hairs coming in. It’s going to be, ’cause death’s after you.

Question

Why did Joseph not want his bones buried in Egypt?

Answer

Then along come Joseph. He said, “Now, wait.” They put his bones in a coffin. I had my hand on an old lead coffin here, not long ago, they he was supposed to had his bone in.

Look at him there at the river, a big, strong, healthy man, on this side running from God, on the other side a limping prince. Oh, my. How that he said, “Joseph, my son, put your hand on my hip, limping prince, and swear by God that you’ll not bury me down here.” I wonder why? Took him up in Palesti...

Question

Why did the prophets of old want to be buried in Palestine?

Answer

Now watch this. All of the prophets of old, not having any Scripture to go by, as we have, any Divine promise of God, only through the leadership of the Holy Spirit. “Men of old, as they was moved by the Holy Spirit, wrote the Word of God.” Each one of them, when they died, they specified they wante...

Question

How is Divine healing related to the resurrection of the body?

Answer

And if there is no Divine healing now, there is no resurrection of the body. Divine healing is the earnest of our redeemed body. Did you ever think of that?
