WHO IS WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM?
This question is very important for the Message believers. We have many versions or
answers among brethren. Some say Branham is just a prophet, another group confirm that
Branham is God, Christ Himself.
Who is right?
It seems as if there is a kind of confusion among Message Believers upon the real identity
of this man WM Branham.
Unbelievers usually find in this contradiction a reason to reject the Message. They wonder
how a Message from God can have several trends contradicting themselves. Instead of have
the same language, the Message believers are dividing themselves and sometime even
hating themselves.
However this confusing situation should be to a real believer a proof that this Message is
from God. A real revelation of God always bring on such situation.
Remember in the time of Jesus! The Bible says that there were division because of Jesus!
People did not have the same language on the person of Jesus.
“JOHN 7, 40 to 41 :
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard
this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said,
Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh
of the seed of David, and out of the town of
Bethlehem, where David was?
43 SO THERE WAS A DIVISION AMONG THE
PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIM.”
See, even Jesus was not understood! Some was saying He was merely a prophet and
others were considering him to be Christ. Isn’t Jesus-Christ the same yesterday, today and
forever? If that was Christ yesterday, that should be Christ today! For He never change.
This Message is the hidden manna spoken about in revelation 2, 7 :
2
“REVELATION 2, 17 He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him
that overcometh WILL I GIVE TO EAT OF THE HIDDEN
MANNA, AND WILL GIVE HIM A WHITE STONE, AND
IN THE STONE A NEW NAME WRITTEN, WHICH NO
MAN KNOWETH SAVING HE THAT RECEIVETH IT.”
I want to develop step by step from some points to the revelation. Just take time to read
quietly and, once again, may the Holy Spirit open your understanding.
To have a clear understanding of the message, we need to catch one of the biggest principles
of the Word of God.
That principle is that: GOD ALWAYS HIDE HIMSELF.
This is what many Message believers fail to understand!
Since the Garden of Eden, after Adam’s fall, God always hide himself! Yes I repeat it: GOD
HIDE HIMSELF!
Can you just imagine that? The creator of heaven and earth hiding himself!
Let’s take some biblical examples:
1. In the Garden of Eden, after the fall, God put cherubim’s around the tree of life to
guard it from human beings. The angels had the mission of preventing Adam and
Eve to touch and even to eat from that tree of life. And the tree of life is God Himself.
Cherubim’s guarding God!
“GENESIS 3:22 to 23
22 ¶ And the LORD God said, Behold, the man
is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and
now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the
tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from
the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence
he was taken.
24 SO HE DROVE OUT THE MAN; AND HE PLACED
AT THE EAST OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN CHERUBIMS,
AND A FLAMING SWORD WHICH TURNED EVERY
WAY, TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE TREE OF LIFE.”
3
In Isaiah, the Bible says the something. God HIDE HIMSELF.
“ISAISH 45 : 15 VERILY THOU ART A GOD THAT
HIDEST THYSELF, O GOD OF ISRAEL, THE SAVIOUR.”
Also in the book of Proverbs the Bible says that the Gory of God is to conceal things and the
honor of the kings is to search out matter
“PROVERBS 25:2 IT IS THE GLORY OF GOD TO
CONCEAL A THING: BUT THE HONOUR OF KINGS IS
TO SEARCH OUT A MATTER.”
2. In the time of Jesus, God never changed his ways of hiding Himself! He kept doing
it even to the extent that the Lord Jesus praised God for doing so.
“MATTHEW 11: 25 ¶ At that time Jesus answered
and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and
earth, because thou hast hid these things from the
wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto
babes.”
Watch how Jesus forbid the demons even his disciples to make him known
“MARK 3:11 to 12
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell
down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son
of God.
12 And he straitly charged them that they should
not make him known.”
“Marc 8.27 to 30
4
27 ¶ And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into
the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he
asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men
say that I am?
28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but
some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye
that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him,
Thou art the Christ.
30 And he charged them that they should tell no
man of him.”
What was doing Jesus? Being God, He was hiding Himself! Same Principle.
3. Now let’s look in our time in this Message. Brother Branham says God remain the
same in his ways! He never change. In his many quotes, brother Branham clearly
shows us that God is still hiding Himself. Let’s read some of his own quotations :
“THE.UNVEILING.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-1
SUNDAY_ 64-0614M
22 Now, my subject this morning, I trust that God
will reveal this. And each time, if you who take the
tapes and listen, and I hope and trust that--that you
have had a spiritual understanding of what that God
has been trying to get over to the Church WITHOUT
SAYING IT RIGHT OUT. SEE? IT'S A THING,
SOMETIME, WE HAVE TO SAY THINGS IN SUCH A
WAY THAT IT MIGHT THIN DOWN, IT MIGHT BRING
SOME TO GO OUT, SOME TO LEAVE, AND SOME TO-
-TO--TO PONDER OVER. BUT THAT'S DONE
PURPOSELY. IT MUST BE DONE THAT WAY.
23 THEN IT MIGHT BE THAT SOME WOULD SAY,
"YOU MEAN GOD WOULD PURPOSELY DO A THING
LIKE THAT?" HE CERTAINLY DID. HE DOES YET.
24 He said one day, when He had thousands around
Him, He said, "Except you eat of the Flesh of the Son
5
of God, or Son of man, and drink His Blood, you have
no Life in you."
25 What kind of a statement do you think that a
medical doctor or a nurse, or any fine intellectual
person would think of a statement like that, for a
Man that had a ministry like He had? Why, he would
say, "Eat the flesh? That's cannibal! To drink human
blood? It's a vampire! In other words, He wants us
to be cannibals and vampires." And the whole
audience walked away from Him.
26 And there was a ministerial association with
Him, of seventy, that had been chosen. And He
turned to them, and He said, "What will you think
when you see the Son of man ascending up from
where He came from?" Now, He didn't explain that.
He never explained how; Paul did that later on. He
just said It. See? And then when this, He said, "What
will you say," to these ministers, "when you see the
Son of man ascending up from where He come
from?"
27 No doubt them man said, "Now, just a moment.
Oh, we eat with Him. We fish with Him. We sleep
with Him. We--we know where He was born. We
seen the cradle that He--He was rocked in. And how
does this Man... This is a hard saying."
28 And the Bible said, "They didn't walk with Him
anymore." They left Him.
29 Then He had twelve left. He had chose twelve,
and one of them was a devil, He said. So He turned
to them.
AND THERE'S NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN WHAT HE
HAD JUST SAID. "How are they going to eat His Flesh
and drink His Blood? And how did He come down,
when He was born right here on earth?" SEE? THEY
COULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
And then He turned to the apostles, and He said, "Do
you want to go also?"
30 And that's when Apostle Peter made that great
statement, "Lord, to whom would we go?" See? "For
we are satisfied. We know a surely that You, and You
6
alone, have the Word of Life of this hour." See? "And
we are satisfied of that." SEE, THEY COULD NOT
EXPLAIN IT. They...
YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN FAITH. IT'S SOMETHING THAT
YOU BELIEVE, AND IT'S SO SOLID THAT THERE IS
NOTHING ELSE WILL TAKE ITS PLACE.
Therefore, they knowed that the Word that was
written for that age that they were living in, the
Messiah-ic age, that He fit that place exactly. And
what could they do to go back in them cold, formal
churches that they had come out of? Said, "Where
would we go to?" See? "We are fully persuaded that
You have the Word of Life." See? And they--they
couldn't explain It, but they believed It. See?”
“EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY_ JEFF.IN V-12
N-3 SUNDAY_ 65-0801E
28 I said, "I never asked you to argue, but the Bible
does say, 'Come, let us reason together.'"
29 It foretells the Author's doings before He does
it. Therefore, telling that, then that puts every man
and woman, at the Judgment Bar, without any
excuse. If you take what the Methodist say about It,
what the Baptist say about It, what the Catholic
says, what the Pentecostal says, or any other church,
you might find some disappointments at the
Judgment. But if you'll just watch what the Bible
says is going to happen, and when it happens, then
you'll recognize what happens.
30 NOW, IT ISN'T RIGHT OUT IN PLAIN VIEW THAT
ALL PEOPLE CAN SEE IT, FOR JESUS THANKED GOD
FOR HIDING IT FROM THE EYES OF THE WISE AND
PRUDENT, AND WOULD REVEAL IT TO BABES SUCH
AS WOULD LEARN. THINK OF ALMIGHTY GOD
SITTING IN HIS OWN WORD, WITH POWER TO BLIND
THE RICH AND IMPUDENT AND--AND EDUCATED
SCHOLARS, BLIND THEIR EYES SO THEY CAN'T SEE
HIM, AND OPEN THE EYES OF THE POOR AND
ILLITERATE.
7
31 NOTICE THESE PEOPLE FROM EMMAUS, HE
SAID THEIR--THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF HIM WAS
WITHHELD. THEY TALKED TO HIM AND DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW WHO IT WAS, ALL DAY LONG. GOD CAN DO
THAT, FOR HE'S GOD.
32 That's exactly what He done to those priests,
those scribes, because It was written that He had to
do that. GOD BLINDED THEIR EYES SO WE WOULD
HAVE A CHANCE. NOTICE, THEY COULDN'T SEE, NO
MATTER HOW MUCH SCHOLARS, HOW MUCH
PRIESTS THEY WAS, WHAT THEY HAD DONE, THEY
STILL COULD NOT SEE IT, BECAUSE THEY WERE
BLIND. THEIR SIGHT MIGHT BEEN TWENTY-TWENTY,
PHYSICALLY. BUT THEIR SPIRITUAL SIGHT!”
“CHRIST.IS.REVEALED.IN.HIS.OWN.WORD_ JEFF.IN
V-4 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0822M
93 And, notice, "To whom He will reveal It." AND
HE SO DESIGNED THAT HE CAN HIDE HIMSELF IN THE
SCRIPTURE, TO THE SMARTEST THEOLOGIAN THERE
IS. OH, MY! HE CAN JUST HIDE HIMSELF, SET RIGHT
THERE IN THE SCRIPTURE, AND YOU LOOK ALL DAY
LONG AND NEVER SEE IT; LOOK A LIFETIME, AND
NEVER SEE IT. HE CAN JUST HIDE HIMSELF, SETTING
THERE.
94 NOW, PLEASE, EVERYWHERE, LET THAT SOAK
IN. THAT, GOD, IN THE WORD, CAN HIDE HIMSELF
SO IN THE WORD, THAT THERE ISN'T A THEOLOGIAN
OR A SCHOOL IN THE WORLD COULD EVER FIND
HIM, AND YET HE'S SETTING RIGHT THERE.
You say, "Is that right, Brother Branham?"
How about the Pharisees and Sadducees? HOW
ABOUT IN EVERY AGE? He's done it. Sure. He's done
so in every age. Now we could check that. Let's think
about the days of Noah; smart, intellectual age, how
He hid Hisself in His promised Word. In the days of
Moses, how He hid Hisself. In the days of Elijah, how
He hid Hisself. In the days of Jesus, how He hid
Hisself. "He was in the world, and the world was
8
made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came
to His Own; His Own received Him not." See?
95 HE HIDES HIMSELF FROM THE SMARTEST,
INTELLECTUAL MAN THERE IS ON THE EARTH. YOU
SAY, "WELL, THIS IS DR. HOLY FATHER SO-AND-SO."
I DON'T CARE WHO HE IS, GOD HIDES HIMSELF
FROM HIM; AND WILL REVEAL IT TO BABIES SUCH AS
WILL LEARN, SEE, BABIES OF GOD, PREDESTINATED
SEED.
96 Think. The Mighty God, setting in His Own
Words, blinding the smart, educated people of this
present age, and they don't see it. They think it's just
a bunch of fanaticism. LOOK AT HIM STANDING
THERE HIDING, TO PENTECOSTALS, BAPTISTS,
METHODISTS, PRESBYTERIAN. Reveal Himself right
out publicly, and showing all kinds of things, even
putting it in the papers, and things like that, yet they
don't see it. Oh, our God, how great, revealing
Himself to whomever He will.
97 "Oh," you say, "Brother Jones or Brother So-and-
so, he's--he's a great man. He'll see It." Oh, no. He
reveals It to whom He will. Say, "My wife don't see
It, and she's a Christian woman." He reveals Himself
to whom He will. "Well, my pastor is a great man."
That's right, but He reveals Himself to whom He will.
Now, check with what's been revealed, to what's
happening, then you'll... you can quite understand.”
Brother I hope you take your time to reads these statements of brother Branham. God
always hid Himself. God never come in plain view saying: ‘‘I AM GOD’’ Never did it before
and He could not do it now!
We need to let this principle soak in our soul if we want to understand the Message! GOD
HIDE HIMSELF! Always!
Pharisees could not understand Jesus because of that! Jesus never spoke to them clearly.
The message tells us that Jesus never said to them that HE WAS GOD, the creator. He had
just to identify himself to the scriptures and they had to discover the truth by themselves.
Let’s read this:

“MODERN.EVENTS.ARE.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY
_ SBD.CA V-7 N-6 MONDAY_ 65-1206
266 Notice how Jesus sel-... made Hisself known to
these disciples, now, and we'll close. These two
disciples, Caiaphas... Cleopas, rather, and his friend.
Now we're in the resurrection, the morning after the
resurrection, the first resurrection; what a beautiful
morning, Jesus is up from the dead and living among
His people. What a beautiful thought!
267 He's here the same today as He was that day,
because He's the same yesterday, today, and for...
And revealing Hisself more today than He has in any
other age since that day; come through the wheat
and stalk and shuck (is all past now), we're into the
wheat again. See, we're back into the grain.
268 Known as... know... WATCH HOW HE MADE
HISSELF KNOWN TO THESE PEOPLE, NOW,
REMEMBER, AS THEIR MESSIAH (just before we
close) of the promised Word of the age. Notice! He
appeared unto, to the... as He has said He'd do, to
the prophets. Notice, "Fools, and slow of heart to
believe that all the prophets has wrote of Him had
to be fulfilled."
269 WATCH HIM! HE REFERS RIGHT BACK TO THE
WORD OF GOD, HE NEVER COME RIGHT OUT AND
TOLD THEM, "DON'T YOU KNOW ME? I AM THE
MESSIAH THAT'S RESURRECTED." HE NEVER SAID
THAT. SEE, HE JUST GIVE THEM THE SCRIPTURE; LIKE
JOHN DID, AND THE REST OF THEM. SEE? HE JUST...
THEY HAVE TO PICK THAT OUT THEMSELVES. THEY
HAVE TO JUDGE FOR THEIRSELVES. NOW, DON'T GO
TO SLEEP, JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
270 "Fools, slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets has said had to come to pass." What a
rebuke to them that claimed they knew Him. See?
271 NOTICE HOW HE APPROACHED THE SUBJECT.
HE NEVER COME RIGHT OUT, AS I SAID A FEW
MINUTES AGO, AND SAID, "WELL, DON'T YOU
KNOW I'M YOUR MESSIAH FOR THIS AGE? DON'T
YOU KNOW THAT I'M HE?" THE REAL SERVANT OF
GOD NEVER IDENTIFIES HIMSELF THAT WAY; THE
10
SCRIPTURE IDENTIFIES WHO HE IS. SURE, HE WILL.
BUT CALLED THEIR ATTENTION TO WHAT THE
PROPHETS HAD SAID TO LOOK FOR IN THE
MESSIAH'S AGE. See it? Go right back: "Fools, and
slow of heart, not to believe that all the prophets
said about the Messiah should come to pass."
272 He, as John, let the Word of the Bible identify
Him, what He was to them. That should been made
plain enough. If the Word had identified Him, that
should be plain, who the promise was they was
looking at. They knowed he had... someone had to
come on the scene at that time.
273 Why, He say, "Now let Me show what the
Word says is supposed to happen in this day."
274 AM NOT I, TONIGHT, TRYING TO TELL YOU,
WORD BY WORD (EVEN TO THE POSITION, THE
PLACE, THE NAMES, NUMBERS, EVERYTHING ELSE,
AND ALL THE SIGNS, TIMES, AND EVERYTHING),
THAT WE'RE RIGHT HERE AT THE END TIME? SURELY
YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. SEE?
Look! That's so plain it should need no more
identification. He said, when He was here on earth,
"Search the Scriptures, in them you think you have
Eternal Life, they are what... they testify what I am,
see, who I am."”
This principle is, if not the greatest, but one of the greatest in the world of revelation. We
need to think of it anytime we are dealing with scriptures. We need to understand that the
MESSAGE is ‘‘a between the lines MESSAGE’’
We need to read between the lines so that we can understand and have the revelation of
what brother Branham says without saying it plainly.
“THE PRESENCE OF GOD UNRECOGNIZED
TOPEKA KS 64-0618 83
208 Now there is, no doubt, sick people among
you out there. I don't know you, at all. And to prove
what I was saying a while ago, as the Angel of the
Lord in the days gone by, the days past, by, Jesus
said, "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be at the
11
coming of the Son of man." CAN YOU SEE WHAT I
WAS TALKING ABOUT, THEM NAMES AND
EVERYTHING ELSE POSITIONALLY, THE CHURCH
SITTING RIGHT, CAN YOU SEE IT? NOW I'M SURE
YOU READ BETWEEN THE LINES OF THINGS THAT I
DIDN'T SPEAK, YOU SEE WHAT I MEANT. Now if you
people in here, that are sick and needy, I'm...”
I hope I made myself understood. The Message is for the elect! Only elects will catch the
secret of this message. Daniel said in his days that the wicked ones will never understand
the revelation book.
“DANIEL 12:1 à 10
1 ¶ And at that time shall Michael stand up,
the great prince which standeth for the children of
thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such
as never was since there was a nation even to that
same time: and at that time thy people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be found written in
the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the
earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and
some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament; and they that turn
many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal
the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run
to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 ¶ Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there
stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of
the river, and the other on that side of the bank of
the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which
was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it
be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which
was upon the waters of the river, when he held up
12
his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and
sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for
a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have
accomplished to scatter the power of the holy
people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I,
O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words
are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 MANY SHALL BE PURIFIED, AND MADE
WHITE, AND TRIED; BUT THE WICKED SHALL DO
WICKEDLY: AND NONE OF THE WICKED SHALL
UNDERSTAND; BUT THE WISE SHALL
UNDERSTAND.”
We are right in that prophetic time brother! No wicked can understand this Message for it
the secret for the Bride only.
The Message has two big parts called Climaxes.
Likewise Moses got two signs, Brother Branham had signs to attract elects, those
predestinate seeds.
“EXODUS 4:1 to 9
1 ¶ And Moses answered and said, But, behold,
they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice:
for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto
thee.
2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in
thine hand? And he said, A rod.
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast
it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and
Moses fled from before it.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine
hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his
hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
5 That they may believe that the LORD God of
their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
13
6 And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put
now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand
into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his
hand was leprous as snow.
7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom
again. And he put his hand into his bosom again;
and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was
turned again as his other flesh.
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not
believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first
sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter
sign.
9 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, IF THEY WILL
NOT BELIEVE ALSO THESE TWO SIGNS, neither
hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the
water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and
the water which thou takest out of the river shall
become blood upon the dry land.”
Brother Branham had three signs which he called pulls (meaning attractions). He had two
climaxes or levels in his ministry”
We should understand that this Message has two climaxes and there are three pulls
(attractions) grouped in those two climaxes.
These are the three pulls or attractions
• Branham’s first pull was a gift of the divine healing through vibration on his left hand
• Branham’s second pull or second attractions was the discernments of thoughts
• Branham’s third pull : A silence; the opening of the word
The two first pull are in the first climax of Brother Branham’s Message and the third Pull is
the second, the last and greatest climax.
Many Message believers recognize only the first climax of brother Branham’s Message. They
are many in the world and they are absolutely blind for the second Climax. This group is just
like Pentecostals seeking for miracles, gifts of the spirits—which is not bad – but they fail to
see the revelation of the word made flesh in Branham (the second climax)
Only few, the elects has understood this second climax but they are despised,
underestimate even excommunicated from tabernacles. I am among this group.
The first climax was only a foundation of the second Climax. It was the first and second pull.
Signs and wonders and many loved it. People, even Pentecostals loved Brother Branham.
14
They were inviting him to perform miracles in their congregations. But that was not the
Real Message! It was just a Message of preparation.
The real Message was yet to come: THE THIRD PULL, the SEVENTH SEALS, the CAPSTONE,
THE WHITE GRANIT (STONE), the SILENCE, and the SEVEN THUNDERS!
This second climax is about the deity in William Marrion Branham which makes him CHRIST,
the anointed one.
Brother Branham saw these two climaxes in his vision as we can read below:
“VISION.FROM.THE.LORD_ JEFF.IN TUESDAY_ 62-
1030X
` [There is no audio for this text. Brother William
Marrion Branham received this vision on October 30,
1962, Tuesday morning about five o'clock at his
home in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Later that morning
he went to the Branham Tabernacle office and met
with his son, Brother Billy Paul Branham, and said,
"Paul, I had a vision from the Lord last night, and I
want you to type it out for me like I am going to tell
you, and file this away." He later speaks of it,
November 4, 1962, on Blasphemous Names, for
about three pages--Ed.]
It came to pass while I lay on my bed, this morning
about five o'clock A.M., that this vision appeared to
me, but I do not understand at this time.
IT SEEMED TO ME THAT I SAW MYSELF PREACHING,
AND THAT I WAS STANDING IN THE SUN. I was
preaching to a huge congregation which was seated
in a wooded area where just portions of the sun was
coming through. I was rejoicing deep in my heart, all
thrilled, because of the text that I was preaching
from.
THE SUBJECT WOULD HAVE TWO CLIMAXES. I WAS
LAYING A BACKGROUND FOR MY FIRST CLIMAX,
when all of a sudden I noticed that it was getting
late, near the noon hour, and my congregation
began to get physically hungry. And they started
getting up and walking out, with the intention of
returning, but they must have physical food
15
according to their thinking, AND SOME WERE JUST
GETTING TIRED OF LISTENING.
I NOTICED TO MY RIGHT SIDE SOME YOUNG
MARRIED PEOPLE WERE LEAVING, AND I SCREAMED
OUT TO THEM, "DON'T GO! FOR ALL THESE
WONDERFUL THINGS THAT I HAVE SHOWED YOU,
YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY HAVE COME FROM
OR WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM!" THEN THAT WAS
TO BE MY FIRST CLIMAX. I grabbed my Bible and
screamed, making the climax, "They are found in the
Bible, for I am commissioned to preach only the
Bible!" But the congregation walked on.
I LOOKED TOWARDS THE FOREST CHURCH, AND NO
ONE WAS THERE. Then I turned, and I said that was
the first climax, but in my heart I knew that they
would be back for the evening service, AND ALL I
WOULD HAVE TO DO WOULD BE LAY A LITTLE
BACKGROUND OF MY MORNING SERVICE, THEN I
COULD REACH THAT GREAT CLIMAX FOR THE
EVENING SERVICE. And my heart was so thrilled, as I
turned from my forest cathedral, to wait for the
evening service to begin.
Brother William Marrion Branham” `
“CONVINCED.AND.THEN.CONCERNED_
SHREVEPORT.LA SUNDAY_ 62-1125M
E-11 AND YOU KNOW, I HAD A VISION NOT LONG
AGO, A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT I WAS PREACHING
FROM THE SUN, AND HAD A GREAT AUDIENCE. AND
IT WILL COME TO PASS. And I was preaching, and my
audience was a--a--a cathedral in the forest. AND
THE SUN THAT I WAS STANDING IN WAS SHINING
DOWN ON MANY PLACES. I HAD TWO CLIMAXES TO
MAKE, AND I WAS SHOWING THEM ABOUT DIVINE
HEALING, ABOUT VISIONS, AND HOW THAT GOD
HAD PROMISED, AND EVERYTHING. AND THEY WAS
REJOICING.
BUT THEN, WHEN I GOT DOWN TO MAKE... MY
FIRST CLIMAX WAS TO TELL THEM THAT ALL THESE
THINGS WAS THE WORD. AND WHEN I GOT TO SAY
16
THAT, EVERYBODY GOT HUNGRY. I DO PREACH
AWFUL LONG. BUT THEY GOT HUNGRY AND
WANTED TO GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT, AND THEY
STARTED GOING AWAY.
I SAID, "WAIT A MINUTE. YOU HAVEN'T HEARD. SEE,
I WANT TO TELL YOU WHERE IT COMES FROM. IT'S
THE WORD, THE WORD." AND WHEN I STARTED TO
SAY IT--TALK IT BACK ABOUT THE WORD, AND HOW
IT WAS DONE BY THE WORD, EVERYBODY LEFT.
WELL, THAT'S THE WAY IT'S HAPPENED. AND WHEN
I WAS STAND THERE, THE SCRIPTURES COME TO
ME... (IN THE VISION SETTING IN A CHAIR, ABOUT
NINE O'CLOCK ONE MORNING AT MY HOME.)
E-12 AND THEN, YOU KNOW, OUR LORD WHEN HE
WAS HIS YOUNG MINISTRY, WHEN HE WAS
HEALING THE SICK AND EVERYTHING, THAT YOUNG
RABBI FROM GALILEE, HE WAS A GREAT FELLOW.
BUT ONE DAY HE BEGIN TO GET DOWN ON THE
WORD. AND WHEN HE GOT ON THE WORD, THE
PEOPLE WALKED AWAY. THE SEVENTY LEFT HIM.
AND THEN HE TURNED AND SAID TO TWELVE, "WILL
YOU GO ALSO?." SEE?
THEN I HAPPENED TO THINK IN MY VISION, "YES,
THAT'S RIGHT. SEE, I GOT ANOTHER CLIMAX, A
GREAT CLIMAX I'VE GOT TO MAKE. SEE? BUT THE
SUN'S A SHINING BRIGHT NOW. BUT THE EVENING
SHADOWS WILL BE FALLING AFTER WHILE. THEY'LL
ALL BE COMING BACK AGAIN. THEN I'LL MAKE THIS
OTHER CLIMAX. I RAISED UP MY HAND, AND SAID,
"GLORY TO GOD. I WON'T HAVE TO STUDY NO
MORE, BECAUSE MY COMMISSION IN THE
BEGINNING WAS STAY WITH THE WORD, AND I'LL
STAY WITH THAT. AND THEN WHEN I START AGAIN,
I'LL JUST BACKGROUND WHAT I SAID, AND THEN
WAIT FOR THIS CLIMAX." And I thought, "I mustn't
forget it." And I come out of the vision. I don't know
what--what text I had. BUT THERE'S ANOTHER
CLIMAX COMING, JUST AS SURE.
E-13 I want to say to you all here... I don't get to
see you at the church very much, 'cause our church
is small, and we're jammed in there like I don't know
what, and hundreds waiting, come around, and
17
turned away, and so forth, from different states and
things.
But when the Word begin to come forth, I want to
tell you before... I'm associate pastor here, you
know, before this congregation. When the Word
begin to come forth, you know what Peter said?
"Lord, where would we go?" Stay with the Word.
There was a few stayed.”

4-2 Now, I have had many things to happen in my
life, but I never had anything like that. I went into a
trance. I don't know the interpretation. I've never
had anything like it in my life. But before me, it
seemingly that I realized that it was a vision, and I
was in the vision. But I was talking to my son, Joseph
which he was not in the room at the time. But
somehow, just as it struck me, I was talking to
Joseph.
And I--I looked up, and kind of in the shape of a
pyramid, standing before me, was little small birds,
something like a half-inch long. And they were up at
the top on the limbs, they was a--may say three or
four, and the next--next limb had maybe eight or
ten, and down at the bottom had fifteen or twenty.
They were little warriors, because their feathers was
beaten; and looked like they were trying to talk to
me, saying something.
4-4 And I was in the west, seemingly around
Tucson, Arizona. And the birds were looking east,
and I was listening close to--trying to say... Looked
like they were trying to tell me something. And they
had--little feathers was all been beat up and things.
They were pretty well battle-scarred.
Then all of a sudden, one bird begin to take the other
one's place--jumping like that--and they, the little
birds, swiftly left, flying eastward. And when they
did, from that came a larger bird, more like doves,
with the pointed wings; and--and--and they come in
18
a swarm and swiftly--more swift than what the little
birds was--flew eastward.
4-6 And I, still in my--the two consciouses
together, I knowed I was standing here, and I
knowed I was somewhere else. See? And I thought,
"Now, this is vision, and I must learn what this
means." And no more than the second group of birds
come by, I looked to the west; and it looked like in a
form of a pyramid, like two on each side with one in
the top, came five of the mightiest Angels I ever seen
in my life. Such a terrific speed I never seen... Their
heads back and their pointed wings just sailing
quickly.
And the power of Almighty God struck me in such a
way till it lifted me plumb from the ground, all the
way from the ground up. I could hear Joseph still
speaking. And sound like the sound barrier breaking,
that--that a great roar went off way in the distance
to the south.
AND WHEN I WAS LIFTED UP, AND THERE WAS SUCH
A TERRIFIC SPEED OF THE ANGELS. AND I--I CAN JUST
SEE THEM RIGHT NOW (SEE?), AS--AS THEY WERE
COMING IN THAT SHAPE LIKE THAT, JUST SWEEPING
RIGHT INTO ME. NOW, NOT DREAMING NOW. NO, I
WAS RIGHT THERE WIDE AWAKE AS I AM NOW. SEE?
5-3 BUT HERE THEY COME. AND THEY WERE SO
TERRIFICALLY FAST, TILL I THOUGHT WHEN IT LIFTED
UP... I HEARD THAT EXPLOSION LIKE, OR LIKE A
BLAST THAT WENT OUT, LIKE A SOUND BARRIER;
AND WHEN IT DID, I THOUGHT, "WELL, THIS MUST
MEAN THAT I'M FIXING TO BE KILLED (SEE?) IN A
BLAST OF SOME SORT." AND--AND I--AND WHILE I
THOUGHT ON THOSE THINGS, I THOUGHT, "NO, IT
WOULDN'T BE THAT, BECAUSE IF IT WAS A BLAST, IT
WOULD'VE GOT JOSEPH TOO, BECAUSE THERE HE IS
STILL TALKING, THINKING THAT I'M THERE. I CAN
HEAR HIM. IT WASN'T THAT."
THIS IS ALL STILL IN THE VISION. IT WASN'T... SEE,
IT'S IN THE VISION. AND THEN ALL AT ONCE, AS I
REALIZED THAT I HAD BEEN... THEY WERE AROUND
ME. I COULDN'T SEE THEM, BUT I'D BEEN BROUGHT
INTO THIS CONSTELLATION OF A PYRAMID OF
19
THEM, INSIDE THIS CONSTELLATION OF--OF ANGELS,
OF FIVE. AND I THOUGHT, "NOW, A DEATH ANGEL
WOULD BE ONE, FIVE WOULD BE GRACE." I WAS
THINKING THAT; I THOUGHT, "OH, IT'S THE--IT'S
COMING WITH MY MESSAGE. THAT'S MY SECOND
CLIMAX. THEY'RE COMING TO BRING ME THE
MESSAGE FROM THE LORD." AND I SCREAMED OUT
WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT, AS LOUD AS I COULD, "OH
JESUS, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME DO?" AND
WHEN I DID, IT JUST--JUST WENT AWAY FROM ME.”

7-7 IN THE VISION THE OTHER DAY, YOU KNOW AS
I HAD HERE NOT LONG AGO TELLING ME ABOUT
WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, HOW I WAS
PREACHING IN--FROM THE SUN INTO THIS PLACE,
AND--AND THEN HE SAID, "NOW, REMEMBER, THE
SECOND CLIMAX IS YET TO COME."
AND I THOUGHT, "THERE'LL BE A MESSAGE." YOU
REMEMBER MY MESSAGE HERE? THE OPENING OF
THAT CAPSTONE, WHERE THOSE SEVEN VOICES AND
SEALS WAS NOT EVEN WROTE IN THE WORD OF
GOD. REMEMBER? AND IT TOOK ME INTO THAT
PYRAMID. AND JUNIE JACKSON (IF YOU ARE HERE),
THAT DREAM THAT YOU GIVE ME NOT LONG AGO, I
WON'T TELL IT THIS MORNING, YOU WERE SO...
GOD WAS SO PERFECTLY... EXCUSE ME FOR NOT
GIVING YOU THE INTERPRETATION, 'CAUSE I SEEN
SOMETHING MOVING.
J. T., same thing. See? And I--I--I knew that. And
Sister Collins, exactly the same. See? And six of those
leading right straight to the same thing, and then
the vision that I told you all years ago, it happened
just the other day (See?), that would happen. And
there it is laying right everything laying right out
there. It's just something moving. I don't know what
it is. God help me, is my prayer. Let us pray.”

As you surely notice in reading these quotes, people were tired, kind of fed up with the first
climax. They even left instead of waiting the second and greatest climax. They had self-
satisfaction! It was just good and enough for them! That’s what is exactly happening even
now! Message preachers and believers are satisfied with the first climax! They need nothing
more. They have postponed all other promises to the future! Still waiting for the rapture,
waiting for the Second Coming of the Lord; waiting for this and waiting for that!
Before the second climax, which is the fact of seeing and recognizing Brother Branham
preaching from the SUN, and in the SUN. He was not only a star (merely a messenger) but
He was the SUN (CHRIST HIMSELF), people left Him.
In the first climax, brother Branham was just a forerunner of the second coming of Jesus.
Just as John the Baptist was forerunning the first coming of the Lord.
The angel told brother Branham that his MESSAGE, will forerun the second coming of the
Lord just as John the Baptist did for the first coming.
Bro Branham’s MESSAGE must forerun the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus.
Many preachers always emphasize on this: ‘‘THE MESSAGE WILL FORERUN THE SECOND
COMING! ‘’ They say it not brother Braham himself but his Message.
By emphasizing in that these preachers and believers are just trying to respond to
unbelievers who are asking why brother Branham died without introducing the Second
coming just like John the Baptist did which is contrary to his commission ?
For lack of argument, they always answer in saying: ‘‘it’s not brother Branham who is the
forerunner but His Message is!’. They willingly forget that brother Branham says that the
Message and the Messenger are one!
How can you have a message without a messenger? We cannot have a message without a
messenger! The message is the messenger! Let’s me try to make it clear.
Brother Branham explained to us how we get the Message. Where is the Message which
will forerun the Second Coming? We have the Message IN TAPE AND BOOK FORM !
“THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES
AND THE SEVEN SEALS JEFFERSONVILLE IN 63-
0317E 157
73-1 {37} Now, see, the mystery of this seven-
sealed Book will be revealed at the sounding of the
seventh church angel's message. See? The seventh
angel begins to sound, AND THERE'S THE MESSAGES
WROTE OUT THERE, AND WE GOT IT IN TAPE AND
BOOK FORM…”
21
There is no other Message outside of the Tapes and the sermons books of Branham we all
have in our houses!
We already have the Message in the tape and book form! And nothing will be added or
taken away to these Message (Tapes and books)! There is not a new Message coming! The
Message is already here and the Message is complete! See?
The Message (the tapes and the books) not will introduce but are introducing Christ right
now! We just need to listen to tapes and read the sermons books to find out how the
Message is introducing the second coming to us!
Let’s read a portion of the Message (our forerunner) about the coming of Christ.
“THE.BREACH.BETWEEN.THE.SEVEN.CHURCH.AGES.
AND.THE.SEVEN.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-
0317E
74-2 {40} Now, you see, I'm just not making that
up. That's what... It's THUS SAITH THE LORD. I'll read
it to you out of the Book: the sounding of the seventh
angel's message, the mystery of God should be
finished that's been declared by His holy prophets.
That's the prophets who has wrote the Word. At the
sounding of the seventh church age, the last church
age, all the loose ends that through these church
ages have been probed at, will be wound up
together. AND WHEN THE SEALS ARE BROKE AND
THE MYSTERY IS REVEALED, DOWN COMES THE
ANGEL, THE MESSENGER, CHRIST, SETTING HIS FOOT
UPON THE LAND AND UPON THE SEA WITH A
RAINBOW OVER HIS HEAD. NOW REMEMBER, THIS
SEVENTH ANGEL IS ON EARTH AT THE TIME OF THIS
COMING.
74-3 {42} JUST AS JOHN WAS GIVING HIS
MESSAGE, THE SAME TIME THAT MESSIAH COME IN
THE DAYS... JOHN KNEW HE WOULD SEE HIM,
BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO INTRODUCE HIM. And
we realize that in the Scriptures over in Malachi 4,
there's to be a one like John, a--an Elijah, to whom
the Word of God can come to, and he is to reveal by
the Holy Spirit all the mysteries of God and restore
the faith of the children back to the faith of the
apostolic fathers: restore back all these mysteries
that's been probed at through these denominational
22
years. Now, that's what the Word said. I'm just
responsible for what It said. See? It's--it's written is
right. That's what It is.”
Can you see? Brother Branham makes a parallel of his time with the time of John the Baptist!
John the Baptist could not die or quit without introducing the First coming of Jesus.
Otherwise he could not have been called forerunner! It would be a no sense!
Brother Branham says it’s the same way here! The Seventh angel (the forerunner) is on
earth at the time of that coming! Isn’t this clear? That’s the seventh Seal.
It happed just like it did with Joh the Baptist!
“THE SEVENTH SEAL JEFFERSONVILLE IN 63-
0324E 153
564-4 {305} Now, how did I know the other day,
last Sunday, a week ago today, when I was
preaching on "Be humble, be humble; remember
God deals in little things." I didn't realize what it
really was talking about, and now I see it. It is in such
a humble way. YOU'D THINK THAT SOMETHING LIKE
THAT WOULD BE REVEALED TO THE VATICAN, OR,
BUT IT COMES JUST LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST. It
comes like the birth of our Lord in a stable. Glory to
God. So help me, the hour is at hand. We're here. Oh,
my.
Now, do you see it? The Truth of God's vision, the
seven Angels, bringing me from the west. They were
coming from the west, coming back east, bringing
here for this message tonight. Oh, my.”
It comes just like John the Baptist!
Remember, before preaching the seals, Brother Branham started with the sermon entitled
GOD HIDING HIMSELF IN SIMPLICITY, THEN REVEALING HIMSELF! The principle! He was
preparing the folks to understand that it’s all about the biggest secret of the Coming which
is supposed to be secret! The secret coming; He comes as a thief during the night.
The first climax, with the first two pulls, Brother Branham acted as the forerunner which
was merely a foundation of the second climax, the Third Pull, the Seventh Seal: CHRIST!
Now I will show you how it happened with one of the vision of Junior Jackson. It one of the
outstand vision about these two climaxes showing clearly the two dimensions of Brother
Branham’s ministry.
23
In the sermon entitled: ‘‘Is this the sign of the End?” or ‘‘Sirs, what is the time?’’ Bro
Branham gave testimonies of 6 dreams God gave to 6 brothers crowned by a Vision he saw
himself.
And all the dreams spoke of the same thing: the two climaxes in brother Branham’s
Ministry!
As Brother Branham, we will emphasize more on the sixth dream, the one of brother Junior
Jackson. And we will talk about the Vision.
Junior Jackson saw a great big hill with a Rock on the top. Water was coming from that Rock
and made some mysterious writings which brother Branham was interpreting to the people.
None but William Marrion Branham could interprets those writings and he did.
That’s the first climax! The interpretation of the mysterious written words
After having interpreted the written words, Brother Branham took a sharp wrecked bar
from the air truck the top of the Mountain, the Roc, and ripped it around, lifted the cap of
it off and there , inside, there were a mysterious white Rock, a white stone; white granite
with no letters on! Nothing was written on that mysterious Stone. It was just a silence! You
could read or hear nothing from that white granite. That’s the second climax of Brother
Branham Message: dealing with unwritten words.
The second climax is to interpret the invisible or the unwritten! The outside of the Bible. It
was quiet a silence but with a secret inside. The white Stone.
Brother Branham did not interpret that mysterious white stone because nothing was
written on! He just asked the congregation not to move but to stay and keep watching the
Stone until he comes back. Meanwhile he had to go to the west coast and bring back the
interpretation of that mysterious Rock.
As I said, the White Stone was that great a mysterious second climax. People had to stay
there, eyes upon that Rock and wait till they get the interpretation. But they did not! They
left with their own interpretation, some went to the north, some to the east and so on.
Only few remained watching the stone. See? The elects. Only few but others felt satisfied
with the first part, the interpretation of the written words and could not wait any longer for
the unwritten words! Only few stayed with the White Written stone.
Let’s read from brother Branham himself
“IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-
11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E
14-3 Now, I show you, knowing what was going
to happen, Brother Jackson dreamed a dream. He
couldn't get away from it. And I was leaving his
24
church, and he just couldn't stand it. How long ago
has it been Brother Jackson? [Brother Jackson says,
"I had the dream in February of '61."--Ed.]
February of '61 he had the dream. And he come to
me, and he said, "Something is on my heart; I must
tell you, Brother Branham."
I said, "Go on, Brother Jackson."
And he said, "I dreamed a dream," and there it was.
I just set still. And I listened and watched. He said, "I
dreamed that there was a great big hill, like out in a
field where bluegrass, or something was." And said,
"Up on top of this hill, where the water had washed
away the soil, there was a top rock up on top of the
hill; like the--the top of the mountain. It was rock, no
grass. And where the water had washed down, IT
HAD CUT SOME KIND OF READINGS ON THESE
STONES, AND YOU WERE STANDING THERE
INTERPRETING THIS READING ON THESE STONES."
AND SAID, "ALL OF IT..." AND HERE'S THE WAY HE
PUT IT, SAID, "THE BRETHREN FROM GEORGIA, AND
FROM ALL AROUND, WE WERE ALL STANDING
TOGETHER, LISTENING TO YOU INTERPRET THAT
MYSTERIOUS WRITING ON THOSE STONES THAT
MOUNTAIN."
15-1 And said, "Then you picked up something,
like from the air, something like a wrecking bar, or--
or a crowbar," wasn't it, brother? Something like
that, a wrecking bar, real sharp, and said, "How you
done it, I don't know." AND SAID, "YOU STRUCK THE
TOP OF THAT MOUNTAIN, RIPPED IT AROUND, AND
LIFTED THE CAP OF IT OFF. IT WAS IN THE SHAPE OF
A PYRAMID. AND YOU RIPPED THE TOP OF IT OFF."
Now, that was months and months and months
before the pyramid message was preached. AND
SAID, "BENEATH THAT WAS WHITE STONE,
GRANITE, AND YOU SAID, 'THE SUN, OR THE LIGHT,
HAS NEVER SHINED ON THIS BEFORE. LOOK IN ON
THIS. WATCH THIS.'"
And that's right, because in the formation of the
world, the world was formed before there was light.
25
We all know that. God moved upon the water, and-
-and then in the beginning He spoke for light. And
naturally, down under there in the age that
formation was, that light had never come upon that
stone.
15-3 AND HE SAID, "LOOK UPON THIS. LIGHT HAS
NEVER COME UPON IT BEFORE." AND WHEN ALL OF
THEM GOT UP, AND I TOLD THEM TO WATCH THAT,
AND ALL OF THEM COME UP TO LOOK IN. BUT HE
SAID WHILE THEY WERE LOOKING IN, HE LOOKED
OUT OF THE CORNER OF HIS EYE, I BELIEVE IT WAS,
AND WATCHED ME. I slipped off to one side and
started going towards the west, towards the setting
of the sun, coming up a hill, going down a hill,
coming up a hill, going down a hill, getting smaller
and smaller, and went all the way out of sight.
And he said then, when I did that... He said, "Then
the brethren turned around after while, and said,
'Did he vanish? Where did he go?'" And said, "Some
took out that way, some took one way, and some
another, BUT A VERY FEW STAYED AND LOOKED ON
TO WHAT I HAD TOLD THEM."”
“IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-
11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E
47-4 Junie, I want to take your dream. Look, Junior,
before the pyramid was ever preached, months
before it, seen this dream. You say, "What about a
dream."
Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a dream that Daniel
interpreted, told the beginning of the Gentile age,
and when it would leave. And it's done just exactly
that way. Not one bit has failed.
YOU NOTICE, THE WRITING THAT THE--WAS ON THE
ROCKS; I WAS INTERPRETING IT FOR THEM. THEY
WERE ELATED. THAT'S THE MYSTERY OF GOD THAT'S
BEEN NOT UNDERSTOOD FOR YEARS. COULD THAT
BE THAT? AND THEN NOTICE. IN SOME MYSTERIOUS
WAY, WE PICKED UP OUT OF THE AIR A SHARP TOOL
26
THAT OPENED UP THE TOP, AND IN THERE WAS
WHITE GRANITE, BUT IT WASN'T INTERPRETED.
THERE WAS NO LETTERS. I DIDN'T INTERPRET THAT,
JUNIOR. I JUST LOOKED AT IT, AND SAID TO THE
BRETHREN, "LOOK ON THIS," AND THAT'S FULFILLED
TONIGHT. WHILE THEY WERE STUDYING THAT, I
SLIPPED TOWARDS THE WEST. WHAT FOR? MAYBE
TO UNDERSTAND THE INTERPRETATION OF WHAT'S
WRITTEN IN THE TOP OF THIS. COULD IT BE?”
After the sixth dream, brother Branham had a vision. He was on a mountain in Arizona,
Tucson, and saw a constellation of little birds came to him and then fly away eastward; he
saw a second constellation of birds, larger than the first ones, they looked like doves. They
came to him and then fly eastward. These two groups of the birds were representing the
first and the second Pull of WM Branham.
After that, there was a blast that shook all the entire earth. Here came mighty angels from
eternity, in a high speed, a twinkling of an eye and they caught Brother Branham up.
After that vision, brother Branham was really trouble in his mind. He could not understand
the meaning. He thought that was a vision of his death because of the blast! He said no one
could live in such blast.
Brother Branham went in prayers, asking God the meaning of the vision. Firstly he asked
God to give him a sign, to send the power of that vision on him again, if it was about his
death. There was no reaction and no sign. Then brother Branham to send power on him if
it does not mean he was dying but it’s his new ministry coming, and God sent a mighty
power over him. He found himself on a corner with the bible open in roman 9: 33 ‘‘As it is
written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever
believeth on him shall not be ashamed.’’
No, brother Branham was not going to die! The meaning of the constellation of angels is the
laying of a stublingstone, a Rock of offence in Sion, the city of God. The White stone, a
stumbling rock. Brother Branham asked people to stay and watch that stone but people
don’t like it!
“IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-
11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E
26-4 I could see those Angels, those shaped-back
wings traveling faster than sound could travel. They
27
come from eternity in a split like a twinkling of an
eye, not enough to bat your eye, just a twinkle. They
were there. I didn't have time to count. I didn't have
time, no more than just look. Mighty ones, great
powerful Angels, snow white, wings set in head, and
they were "whew wheeew," [Brother Branham
illustrates--Ed.] and when it did, I was caught up into
this pyramid of constellation. And I thought, "Now,
this is it." I was numbed all over, and I said, "Oh, my.
This means that there will be a blast that will kill me.
I'm at the end of my road now. I mustn't tell my
people when this vision leaves. I don't want them to
know about it, but the heavenly Father has let me
know now that my time is finished. I won't tell my
family so they'll worry about me, because He's fixing
to go and these Angels has come for me, and I'll be
killed pretty soon now in some kind of an explosion."
Then it came to me, while I was in this constellation,
"No, that isn't it. If it would've killed you it would've
killed Joseph, and I could hear Joseph calling me."
Well, then I turned again, and I thought, "Lord God,
what does this vision mean?" And I wondered, and
then it come to me, not a voice, just come to me. Oh,
that is the Angels of the Lord coming to give me my
new commission. And when I thought that, I raised
up my hands, and I said, "O Lord Jesus, what will You
have me do?" And the vision left me. For almost an
hour, I couldn't feel.
27-1 Now, you people know what the blessings of
the Lord is. But the power of the Lord is altogether
different. The power of the Lord in them kind of a
places, I felt it many, many times before in vision,
but never like that. It feels like a reverent fear. I was
so scared till I was paralyzed in the presence of these
Beings. I tell the truth. As Paul said, "I lie not." You
never caught me saying anything wrong about
something like that? Something's fixing to happen.
THEN AFTER WHILE I SAID, "LORD JESUS, IF I'M
GOING TO BE KILLED, LET ME KNOW SO I WON'T
TELL MY PEOPLE ABOUT THIS; BUT IF IT'S
SOMETHING ELSE, LET ME KNOW." THE--NOTHING
ANSWERED.
28
AFTER THE SPIRIT LEFT ME FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR
I GUESS OR MORE I SAID, "LORD, IF IT IS THEN THAT
I AM GOING TO BE KILLED, AND YOU'RE FINISHED
WITH ME ON EARTH, AND--AND I'M GOING TO BE
TAKEN HOME NOW, WHICH IF THAT'S IT, THAT'S
FINE. THAT'S ALL RIGHT." SO I SAID, "IF IT IS, LET ME
KNOW. SEND YOUR POWER BACK ON ME AGAIN.
THEN I'LL KNOW NOT TO TELL MY PEOPLE, OR
ANYBODY ABOUT IT, BECAUSE YOU'RE FIXING TO
COME CATCH ME AWAY." AND I... AND NOTHING
HAPPENED. AND I WAITED AWHILE. THEN I SAID,
"LORD JESUS, IF IT DID NOT MEAN THAT, AND IT
MEANS THAT YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR ME TO
DO AND IT'LL BE REVEALED TO ME LATER, THEN
SEND YOUR POWER. AND IT ALMOST TOOK ME
FROM THE ROOM.
27-4 I FOUND MYSELF SOMEWHERE OVER IN A
CORNER. I COULD HEAR MY WIFE SOMEWHERE
TRYING TO SHAKE A DOOR. THE DOOR IN THE
BEDROOM WAS LOCKED. AND I HAD A BIBLE OPEN,
AND IT WAS READING... I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT WAS
IN, I BELIEVE, ROMANS THE 9TH CHAPTER, THE LAST
VERSE: "BEHOLD I LAY IN SION A CORNERSTONE, A
STUMBLING STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE,
AND WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT
BE ASHAMED." AND I THOUGHT, "IT'S STRANGE I'D
BE READING THAT." (SPIRIT STILL PACKING ME IN
THE ROOM.)
And I closed up the Bible and stood there. I went over
to the window (It was about ten o'clock in the day or
better.), and I raised up my hands, and I said, "Lord
God, I don't understand. This is a strange day to me.
And I'm beside myself almost." And I said, "Lord,
what does that mean? Let me read again, if it be
You." Now, this sounds juvenile. And I took up the
Bible, opened it up. There it was again at the same
place: Paul telling the Jews that they tried to--telling
the Romans that the Jews tried to accept it by works,
but it's by faith that we believe it.”
29
The fist climax was the interpretation of the written part of the Bible; then after that comes
the second climax which is the interpretation of the top of the pyramid, the white stone
with no letters on.
The Message members should keep their eyes on that cap stone, the backside of the Book,
until they got brother Branham interpretation.
We all know the first climax: the forerunning ministry, the preparation Message. This is what
many churches Message preaches: The Holy-ghost Baptismal, restoration of gifts,
reestablishment and all about denominations.
But after we had to lift our eyes and watch the Cap White Stone with no letters? What’s
that means? We need to understand it. And Brother Branham asked up not to move but to
look on it and wait for the interpretation.
This white stone is the seventh seal, a silence.
“REVELATION 8, 1 : AND WHEN HE HAD OPENED
THE SEVENTH SEAL, THERE WAS SILENCE IN HEAVEN
ABOUT THE SPACE OF HALF AN HOUR.”
See? A silence. What does it mean? What’s this Seventh Seal, the Second Climax?
Remember, only few need to know it; only few kept their eyes on that stone.
The large majority don’t care. They are satisfy with the first climax. It’s enough to them.
Brother Branham is only a simple prophet, forerunning the Second coming and that’s all! So
they keep waiting the Second Coming of the Lord until now. 51 years later, after John the
Baptist, still waiting for Jesus! Can you imagine? Strange forerunning ministry!
They fail to wait and see the second climax! The Seventh Seal! The biggest secret!
Remember, in Brother Jackson dream, brother Branham had to go to the west and bring the
revelation of the White stone. The constellation of the seven angels in brother Branham’s
vision was bringing the revelation of that strange stone. BEHOLD, I LAY ON SION A
STUMBLING STONE!
After preaching the sermon ‘‘WHAT TIME IS IT, SIRS?” Branham went to the west and, seven
angels appeared to him has he saw in the vision. These angels came in a terrific speed after
a blast went off and shook all the area!
Let’s read from him
“THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E
566-1 {313} Notice now, to make it sure to you, so
it could be driven down... I'm fixing to leave you again.
I don't know where I go. I must preach the Gospel
other places. But now, that you might say, "I've heard
all that kind of fanaticism." I don't know what. I can't
judge any other man. I only have to answer to God for
30
what I--for--for myself. But has there ever been one
time I ever told you anything in the Name of the Lord
it wasn't right in all these years? Nobody else can say
so, because I always told it just the way He told it.
Now, let me just show you that this is exactly true and
confirm it. Now, remember, "If there be a spiritual...
or a prophet, I, the Lord, will speak to him in visions
and make known to him by dreams," interpreting
dreams. Is that... Joseph, he could interpret dreams
and speak and--and see visions. Is that true?
566-3 {318} Now, notice this--that now, when this
taken place, Junior was standing in a field that had a-
-had a big pyramid to it like that, and there was
something wrote on the rocks, and I was revealing
that to the people. Is that right, Junior? About a year
before it happened...
And notice the next thing now. I took some kind of a
bar and cut it off, and on the inside was white rock
that had nothing wrote on it. And at that time I
started to the west. And I told them all; I said, "Don't
go out west. Stay here and look on this till I return."
WENT WEST FOR THE BLAST, RETURNED BACK TO
THE EAST WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT INTERPRETING
THIS UNWRITTEN WORD. Now, if that isn't perfectly
the God Almighty, I want you to know what is. What
am I trying to say this for, friends? Is to show you
we're at the end time.”
See? The Holy Spirit interpreting this unwritten word. The Second climax. We both know
that the unwritten word is the White Stone, the white granite.
How did the Holy Spirit interpret that white stone? By the seven angels that came in the
terrific speed in a pyramid shape. That was their ministry; they came to interpret that
mysterious Roc, the stumbling stone, the white Stone in the pyramid. Remember the White
Rock was in the Pyramid and the angels came in the shape of a pyramid. Can you see?
Let’s see how these angels interpret this Whit Stone inside the pyramid! May the Lord open
our understanding now!
Let read Branham!
“THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0324E

577-3 {402} The seven Angels... I was in the west.
You remember the little bitty messengers; they went
east. The second messengers, the doves (little bit
larger bird), they went east. And now, I looked...
They was with me all the time. That was that first
and second pull. Now, the third came from the west
sweeping forward with great terrific speed, and they
picked me up. That was coming back east with the
mystery of these Seven Seals, just like it said in--in
Junior Jackson's dream that the Lord let me interpret
for him there.
ON THE INSIDE OF THAT PYRAMID, THERE WAS
WHITE STONE THAT WASN'T WRITTEN ON. THAT'S
THE REASON I HAD TO GO WEST TO CONNECT WITH
THESE ANGEL'S MESSAGE TO COME BACK HERE TO
REVEAL IT TO THE CHURCH. You remember, I said,
"The next things that happen will be here at the
church." That's just exactly.
578-1 {405} Another thing, I want you to notice
what taken place, And if you're listening to the tape
of the "What Time Is It, Sir?" you will notice that one
Angel was very notable to me. The rest of them just
was--seemed ordinarily; but this Angel was a noted
Angel. He was to my left in the constellation in a
form of a pyramid. And you remember, it was in the
pyramid where the mysterious white rock was not
written on. AND THE ANGELS TOOK ME INTO THAT
PYRAMID OF THEMSELVES, THE MYSTERIES OF GOD
KNOWN ONLY TO THEM. AND NOW, THEY WITH THE
MESSENGERS THAT COME TO INTERPRET THAT
PYRAMID OR THAT MESSAGE OF THE SECRET OF
THESE SEVEN SEALS WHICH LAYS WITH INSIDE THE
PYRAMID.
Can you catch something there? The Rock was inside the pyramid and these mighty angels
came in a pyramid shape and caught Brother Branham up into that Pyramid! There was
nothing written on that rock inside the Pyramid but angels took Branham into that place!
See? The Interpretation: a Man placed on the White Stone!
Let’s see in the Old Testament! The Prophet Zechariah talked about a mysterious stone and
God promised to engrave writings himself and the iniquity will be removed. Nothing was
engraved on that rock.
32
“ZECHARIAH 3, 9: FOR BEHOLD THE STONE THAT I
HAVE LAID BEFORE JOSHUA; UPON ONE STONE
SHALL BE SEVEN EYES: BEHOLD, I WILL ENGRAVE THE
GRAVING THEREOF, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS,
AND I WILL REMOVE THE INIQUITY OF THAT LAND IN
ONE DAY.”
The Angels engraved WM Branham on the mysterious stone.
Brother Branham asked us to look at that stone even to have it! To look at it until we can
see a Man being engraved there. That’s the mystery of the Seventh Seal.
In the Book of revelation, the Bible talks about that stone.
“REVELATION 2, 17: He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him
that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden
manna, AND WILL GIVE HIM A WHITE STONE, AND
IN THE STONE A NEW NAME WRITTEN, which no
man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
That’s the second climax, the seventh seal, Christ! God Himself! Only few get this white
stone and can see the name written there.
What’s the Seventh Seal? Let’s read!
“A GUIDE JEFFERSONVILLE
IN 62-1014E 97
35 And the Holy Spirit always speaks of the Word.
"I've got many things to tell you, you cannot
understand it now, but when He comes, He'll guide
you to it." That's the reason the coming of the Seals.
AT THE FINISHING OF THE SEVENTH SEAL, THE
MYSTERY OF GOD SHOULD BE FINISHED TO KNOW
WHO GOD IS, WHAT HE IS, HOW HE LIVES, HIS
NATURE, HIS BEING. You're supposed to be all the
way up here by that time (See?), bring us into the full
statue of sons and daughters of God, a Church that's
washed in the Blood of Christ, that's bought without
money, is paid for by the Blood of Jesus Christ.”
33
The second climax of Brother Branham is Christ Ministry! Christ Branham.
Brother I can be talking like this for long but I will let you study this first and if you have any
question, feel free to ask me!
God bless you!
