Topic: Revelation and Daniel

Question

Brother Branham, have you made statements recently concerning that church age has ended, Laodicea?

Answer

No, I never said it’s ended. If I did, you misunderstood, or I said it wrong. It is…This is the last church age; it’s the end of church ages, the Laodicea. It hasn’t ended; when it ends, the Church is gone. So as long as the Church is here, it hasn’t ended. See?

Question

The church age ending and has blacked out, the Bride is called, we have already entered into the tribulation period?

Answer

No, no, no, you’re…I wished that I could just have more time on that. See, see? The Bride, when She’s taken from the church, then the church age will cease. Laodicea goes into chaos; the Bride goes to Glory; and the tribulation period sets in upon the sleeping virgin for three and a half years while...

Question

Have the Seven Thunders which equals seven mysteries already been revealed? Were they revealed in the Seven Seals, but are yet—but are yet not known to us as the Thunders yet?

Answer

No, they were revealed in the Seven Seals; that’s what the Thunders was about. They was to reveal…The Seven Thunders that had uttered their voices and no one could make out what it was…John knew what it was, but he was forbidden to write it. He said, “But the seventh angel, in the days of his soundi...

Question

It…Is the seventh angel, as spoken of, of Revelation 10, the same person as Elijah of Malachi 4? Did I answer that? That don’t sound like I answered that.

Answer

Yes, it’s the same person. Revelation 10 is the seventh angel’s Message, which…seventh angel messenger of the Seventh Church Age, which is Malachi 4. Is birth control… I have a lot on that. I just throwed these back, and I—I didn’t want to answer; I’d rather see you privately.

Question

Now: If time ceases when the Seals were opened, then is…If time ceased (pardon me) when the Seals were opened, then the Millennium is also—then the Millennium is also finished, is it not?

Answer

No, no! Time didn’t cease when the Seals were opened. Misunderstood it. What happened, the mysteries was revealed, not time ceased. See? Just look. Watch real close now, and will play your tape if you got it from a tape. See? Time never ceased until the…This must be a postmillennialist or something...

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

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

According to the opening of the Fifth—Fifth Seal, Moses and Elijah have—have to die. What about Enoch?

Answer

I don’t know. See? I—I…If I don’t know, I’m just going to tell you I don’t know. See? I—I don’t—I don’t know all the answers, folks. I—I don’t know. And if I don’t know, I’m going to tell you I don’t know. If I do know…I won’t tell you till I do know, see. But I—I don’t know. I’ve often wondered ab...

Question

What does “see thou hurt not the oil and the wine” mean, in Revelation 6:6?

Answer

It’s the Holy Spirit. See? We just got through that. Probably somebody, you know, come in a little late for the Message, they…well, for the other tapes, you see. “Hurt not the oil and the wine.” What does the oil and wine mean? The Oil, as we took it in symbol, means the Holy Spirit. See? Wine is t...

Question

Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews, the real man who lived on the earth, or will he be the spirit of Elijah in some other man? Now, that’s, I—I’m afraid to say. I don’t know. See? Let me read that again. Is the Elijah, who comes to preach to the Jews (oh, yes), the real man who lived on earth, or will he be spirit of Elijah in some other man?

Answer

Now, if I could answer that correctly, I could tell you about Enoch, see. But I—I can’t do it, see. Only thing I know is, just, the Scripture says what it will be. And now it might be that the…Now, I—I’m kind of inclined…Now let me say it this way. And I hope the tape, the brethren on the tapes, wil...

Question

Brother Branham, does the first horse rider, First Seal, fulfill Second Thessalonians, “the revelation of the man of sin”?

Answer

Yes. That’s right. That does. That’s easy. That does. That’s the man of sin. The same man just keeps, in stages, riding on till he gets on a pale horse that’s called “Death.” Christ comes on down through, justification, sanctification, to the white horse, and that’s that Life, you see.

Question

Brother Branham, is the seventh angel, with the spirit of Elijah, the same man as the Elijah sent to the hundred and forty-four thousand Jews during the three and a half years after the Rapture? Some of us are mixed up, in this.

Answer

No. He isn’t the same. See, it’s two different men. The Elisha that come in the form of Elijah was not Elijah. And the spirit of Elijah who came upon a man called John the Baptist was not Elijah. And the man of the seventh angel messenger, at the end of the Laodicean Age, will not be the literal Eli...

Question

When was the covenant, of Daniel 9:27, confirmed for a week?

Answer

One half of it was confirmed, the covenant, when Jesus Christ was on earth preaching to the Jews. He never went to the Gentiles, at all. And He told His disciples, “Don’t go to the Gentiles.” That was to the Jews, alone. See? And He preached for three and a half years. That’s half of the seventieth...

Question

In Revelation, verse 5:9, who are these found sing—singing when the Lamb takes the Book out of the—out of the…takes the Book? Are—are these the raptured saints?

Answer

No. Revelation 6…5:9, rather. No. If you notice, these are not the saints. They had…He has never claimed His property yet. See? This is not the saints. If you notice, they’re the elders and the Beasts, and they sing. Let’s read it, so that person…And then I’m going to try…I’ve got about half a doze...

Question

Could you (c-o-n-t-r-o-…) control those given…? Well, control “those given white robes,” of Revelation 6:11, with “those who washed their robes in the Blood of the Lamb?”

Answer

Now let’s see, Revelation 6. I just can’t hurry on this, folks, like this here, see, because it’s going…I’m going to answer something wrong. Now, He didn’t want—He didn’t want me to do that. That’s the truth, so help me. The Holy Spirit of God knows that’s the truth. See? I just…There is something j...

Question

Brother Branham, if all of the godly was taken up in the Rapture, where will the Elijah and Moses come from? Will they be Jews? Or will our Elijah, given to us, be—be with them?

Answer

No. The—the Gentile that’ll be anointed with this spirit, to call out the Gentiles, will be taken away. Cause, you see, the whole Church, all, has been taken up. And these two prophets, of—of the 11th chapter, is brought down. And the day of grace is ended with the Gentile, and been sent to the Jews...

Question

Does the what and wine, or wheat and wine, what does the…of Revelation 6:6? Let’s see what it is, when I get down here now, this here. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts saying, A measure of wheat for a penny, and a measure of barley for a penny;…see that thou hurt not the wine and…oil.

Answer

I guess that’s meaning “the wheat and the wine.” That was one, to the other. Rather, is a symbol, the wine taken at the communion table, of Rev-…of First Corinthians 11:24? “Does the wine—the wine…?” No. One of them is a spiritual symbol, see. And the other one is actually the—the revelation of the...

Question

Could it be that the reason many are sick, because we did not discern the Lord’s Body? (Correct!) …but now revealed by the opening of the Sixth Seal?

Answer

Now, let’s see. Let me just see if I can get that now. It’s not you; it’s me. You didn’t…You wrote it all right; it’s just me. Could it be that the reason many are sick, because we do not discern the Lord’s Body? (That’s got a question mark, the end of that.) Well, the Scripture says, that, “Many a...

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...
