WHAT THE PROPHET SAID ABOUT THEM.

[PART 2]

The reason I waited till this night... It's the first time I've told it in public. I waited till this night to tell it. God being my helper, they'll never be a human being know this till death sets me free to go home to be with God. I'll never make a show or a public thing of this. It's too sacred for to be given out the way I did the other time...”

MARCH,1956: IN THE REALIZATION OF THE SACREDNESS OF THE THIRD PULL THE PROPHET WAS MADE TO DO THIS: "I WILL HAVE TO KEEP A SECRET THE REST OF MY LIFE."

“VOICE MAGAZINE VOL.IV, NO.2 MARCH,1956”

HERE IS PART OF THE LAST QUOTE:

“... INSIDE THIS FENCE SAT A LITTLE SQUARE WOODEN ROOM. A lady was standing at the gate of the canvas fence taking the name and prayer card of a lady laying on a wheeled stretcher. Behind the stretcher was a man on crutches, and the lady took his name and card also. And a strong man came out and pushed the lady on the stretcher through the gate of the canvas fence and through the door, into THIS LITTLE WOODEN ROOM.

I heard the familiar swishing sound made by the light, that accompanies my ministry; and I saw it go from me to the LITTLE ROOM. The Angel of the Lord was still standing by me in the air. He said to me, “I’LL MEET YOU IN THERE.” I saw His hand point to that LITTLE ROOM. He added, “THIS IS MY THIRD PULL.” I said, “I do not understand this.” And He replied, “IN THERE I WILL MEET YOU.”

I watched and saw the sick lady coming out a door on the opposite side of the LITTLE ROOM. She was off the stretcher pushing it. The lady was there to get her testimony, on a tape recorder; and asked what happened in the LITTLE ROOM, and she answered, “I don’t know.”Then came the man carrying his crutches. The lady asked him what happened in the LITTLE ROOM, And he answered, “I don’t know.”

And the Angel of the Lord said, “this will not be a public show. is it not written in the scriptures, of our lord’s words, “when thou prayest enter into thy closet, and when thou has shut the door pray to thy heavenly father which is in secret and thy father which seeth thee in secret shall reward thee openly. be not as the hypocrites that make their public show of things, but go into your secret closet.” then the angel of the lord and I, descended into the little room. What he said to me there, I will have to keep a secret the rest of my life.”

NOW TELL ME, WHO ELSE WAS GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO RECEIVE WHAT GOD TOLD THE PROPHET TO KEEP IT A SECRET AND DIE WITH IT IN HIS HEART? COME ON NOW YOU WHO WANT TO BE A JANNES AND A JAMBRES OF THE END TIME TO IMPERSONATE THIS SACRED MINISTRY OF THE LORD.

ON APRIL 08^TH 1956: BROTHER BRANHAN IN THE EXCERPT BELOW SAID: "WHEN I LEAVE THIS WORLD, THAT'LL STILL BE IN MY BOSOM"

WHAT IS A VISION. CHI. IL. V2 N9 56 – 04 - 08A

18-6. And just then... Now, here's something. Notice close. There's a difference between the Angel of the Lord and that Light, because I heard something a moving, as it does when it comes here at the platform at night, kinda like a--[Brother Branham makes a sound "whew"--Ed.] and like a fire whipping around--licking blaze. And It left me, and it went right down over the top of that audience and went and stood over the top of that little building, and then settled down on top of it. And then when It did, this One that was standing by me, behind me, the same voice, the Angel's voice, He said, "I'll meet you in there, and this is the third pull, but nobody will know nothing about it."

And I said, "Well, I don't understand why in there. Why there?"

He said, "It will not be a public show this time."

And I said, "I don't understand going into that closet, like that."

And He said, "Is not it written by our Lord, 'when thou prayest, be not like the hypocrites who like to be heard before men, but enter into the secret closet and pray to the Father Who seeth in secret, and He Who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly?'" It's perfectly to the Scripture; every time it is.

And I said, "I understand."

Then He took me to this place and set me down in this room where I was at, and then He told me what to do for the third time.

Now, Christian friends, that'll--when I leave this world, that'll still be in my bosom. When I... But you mark my words what's going to take place when that...

(A). The duration of That ½ Hour Silence has not been given to us anywhere in the message by the Prophet. Anybody’s claim to knowing it is therefore unauthoritative, presumptuous, null, and void. Any such claim could be disastrously misleading and also be anti Christ.

(B). The reason for the silence is to give no clue to Satan. He would do great harm if he knows it.

(C). The Third Pull cannot be explained, and he, the Prophet was commanded not to try to explain it.

(D).The Third Pull is  “The King’s Sword, which is The Opening of The Word. That is God’s revelation of His Word.

(E). The coming of the Lord is a total secret known only to God alone, [Spirit] The Son, Angels, man, do not know.

(F). BUT It will be known at the time the Lord comes to take His Bride Away. [It will be like Juliet & Romeo story]

THESE ARE THINGS WHICH THE VOICES OF THE 7 THUNDERS ARE CONNECTED TO. THIS MUCH IS WHAT WE ARE GIVEN TO KNOW. AND I BELIEVE GOD DEEMS THIS TO BE ENOUGH FOR US. THE REST IS GOD’S. WHY CAN’T WE BE CONTENTED WITH THIS?

SOULS IN PRISON NOW. JEFF. IN. V2 N22, 63 - 11 - 10M

23-4. Now we see these things. Remember the Seven Seals is finished. And when those seven revealed truths... One of them He wouldn't permit us to know. We... How many was here at the Seven Seals? Just about all of you, I guess. See? The Seventh Seal, He wouldn't permit it. He stood right there in the room and revealed every one of them, and if I ever preached anything in my life was inspired, it was that. And it ought to be true to you, stand here and tell you that it's going to happen, and go right there, and even science and everything else, the scientific research and everything--mystery to the people, proved that it happened right there; and come back and hear it unfold and make every word exactly right.

SOULS IN PRISON NOW. JEFF. IN. V2 N22, 63 - 11 - 10M

23-5. What day are we living? Where we at? And remember, in that Sixth Seal, where all Seven Trumpets sounds under that sixth Seal... When we get to that, you'll see that. Every Seven Trumpet took place in that Sixth Seal. The seven is always a mystery. Watch that seven; that's the finish. That was the coming of the Lord. Heaven was quiet, silent. Nobody moved, because Jesus said Himself, "Not even an Angel of heaven knows when I will return. I don't even know it Myself, what time. The Father has put that in His mind. God alone knows it: the Spirit. But I didn't know it."

Please take note! By NOVEMBER, 10^TH, 1963, while preaching “Souls in Prison”, the prophet still maintained: “...I didn't know it." This is 8 months after preaching all the 7 seals.

GOD IN SIMPLICITY. JEFF. IN. 63 - 03 - 17M

... May the Lord help us to open the Seventh Seal, where there's just a short verse, and it says this: "There was silence in heaven for a half hour," by that silence...

GOD IN SIMPLICITY. JEFF. IN. 63 - 03 - 17M

4-2. (23) Now, I don't know what these Seals mean. I am just as much at the end of my wits to them as perhaps some of you are this morning. We have ecclesiastical ideas that have been presented by man, but that will never touch it. And if you'll see, it has to come by inspiration. It must be; God Himself is the only One Who can do it, the Lamb, and tonight is that Book of Redemption.

BREACH THE JEFF. IN. 63 – 03 - 17E

98-8. (208). Here come a Lamb, still bloody. John... There wasn't nothing there, all the celebrity was standing around, but there was none of them could do it. So here come the Lamb now. His intercessory days is over, the mediatorial days. That's when this Angel's going to stand there (You wait till we get in the Seals.) and time shall be no more. That's right.

That half hour of silence; watch what takes place in that half hour of silence on that Seventh Seal next Sunday night, Lord willing.

[63-03-17M] PLEASE, TAKE ANOTHER NOTE: ON THIS DAY, HE PREACHED “GOD IN SIMPLICITY” IN THE MORNING AND “THE BREACH BETWEEN SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND SEVEN SEALS” IN THE EVENING. AT THAT TIME SAID: “Now, I don't know what these Seals mean.”

THE SIXTH SEAL. JEFF. IN. 63 – 03 - 23

406-5 {109}. Now, look how close. Why couldn't this be before? Because it hadn't happened before. Now you can see it. You see? See the great Holy Spirit seeing those things coming down through the--the ages and times, and now, it's being revealed, and then you look there and see that's the truth. There's where it's at.

Now, it was the martyrs in the tribulation of the pre-tribulation of Eichmann. Now, they only type the martyrs of the hundred and forty-four thousand, which we're entering into between the Sixth and Seventh Seal (See?); and the Seventh Seal is just one thing; that's all; and it was silence in heaven for a space of a half hour. And now, only God can reveal that. It's not even symbolized nowhere. That's tomorrow night. Pray for me. See?

THE SEVENTH SEAL. JEFF. IN. 63-03-24E

532-5. (51). And now, we find out that that... Also we... The Lord let us take the Scripture, the Holy Scripture, what Jesus said would take place. And how would we have ever found that? And here it comes over and reveals and bring it just exactly (His sermon there) answering that, brings out exactly to the point, six of the Seals, but He omitted the Seventh. See?

Then when the Seals were open, God (notice here), He omitted revealing even any symbol of the Seventh one. See? It's a perfect secret with God. Notice, now we're going to read in the Bible in the--the Seventh Seal. That's found in Revelations the 8th chapter.

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of a half hour.” (And that's all we have on it.)

THE SEVENTH SEAL. JEFF. IN. 63-03-24E

556-4. (236). Now, how is He going to do it? That's what we don't know, isn't it? We don't know. It's even the time for all these things, and the ushering in of the millennium.

Notice, the breaking of this Seal was so great that heaven was hushed by it in silence for the space of a half hour. Now, is it great? What is it? It was hushed: heaven. There wasn't a thing moved for a half hour.

Now, a half hour might not be long if you're having a good time, but in the suspense of between death and life, it seemed like a millennium. It was so great, Jesus never mentioned it: none of the rest of them. John couldn't even write of it. No, he was forbidden to write here. See, He didn't write, but it's just is silence.

THE SEVENTH SEAL. JEFF. IN. 63-03-24E

557-1. (241). And the four and twenty elders that stood before God there harping with their harps, they quit playing their harps. The Angels hushed their singing in heaven. Think the holy Cherubims and Seraphims, that Isaiah saw it in the temple with six sets... or three sets of wings, three on--two over his face and two over his feet, and flying. And he's day and night they're before God, saying, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty." And even when they walked in, or come into the temple, the posts of the temple moved with their--their presence. And these holy Seraphims hushed up. Angels quit singing. (Whew.) Flying in the Presence of God, singing, "Holy, holy, holy..." they shut up.

No angels singing, no praises, no altar service, no nothing. There was silence, hush, deadly silence in heaven for a half hour. All the host of heaven was silent for this half hour, when this Seventh Seal mystery in the Book of Redemption was broke open. Think of it; but it's broke. The Lamb breaks it. You know what? They were awed by it, I believe. They didn't know. There it was; they just stopped. Why? What is it?

THE SEVENTH SEAL. JEFF. IN. 63-03-24E

557-3. (245). Now, none of us know; but I'M GOING TO TELL YOU MY REVELATION OF IT. And now, I am not prone to be a fanatic. If I am, I'm ignorant of it. See? I am not given away to such as "leerious" or carry-ons and imaginary things. I've said some things might been kind of strange to some people, but when God comes around behind it and vindicates it and says it's the Truth, then that's God's Word. It may seem strange that way. See?

And now, as certain as I stand in the platform tonight, I had the revelation that revealed...

IT'S IN A THREEFOLD MANNER. That, I will speak to you by God's help of a fold of it. And then you... Let's go over there first. Here's the revelation to begin what...

I want to tell you what it is. What happens is that those seven thunders that he heard thunder and was forbidden to write, that's what the mystery is laying behind those seven consecutive thunders rolling out.

THE SEVENTH SEAL. JEFF. IN. 63-03-24E

557-5. (249). NOW, WHY? Let us prove it. WHY? It is the secret that no one knows about. John was forbidding to write about it, even, even write a symbol about it. WHY? This is why there was no activity in heaven; it might give away the secret. DO YOU SEE IT NOW? If it's so great it must be included, because it's got to happen, but when the seven thunders...

Now, notice, when the seven angels come forth to sound their trumpets, there was one thunder. When Israel was gathered, there was a trumpet. When time shall be no more, the last trumpet... One thunder, But here IS SEVEN STRAIGHT THUNDERS right in a row: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, that perfect number. Seven thunders in a row, uttered just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, straight. Then heavens couldn't write that. Heavens can't know about it, NOTHING ELSE, because there's nothing to go on. It's a relaxing time. It was so great till IT'S KEPT SECRET FROM THE ANGELS. Now, WHY?

IF SATAN SHOULD GET A HOLD OF IT, HE MIGHT DO GREAT DAMAGE.[Pg. 503, Para. 253] THERE'S ONE THING HE DON'T KNOW. Now, he can interpret anything he wants to, and impersonate any kind of a gift (I hope you're learning.), BUT HE CAN'T KNOW THIS. It's NOT EVEN WRITTEN IN THE WORD. It's A TOTAL SECRET. The Angels, everything shut up. IF THEY MADE ONE MOVE IT MIGHT GIVE SOMETHING AWAY, so they just shut up, quit harping; everything stopped.

(1). Remember, First Pull was Little Bitty Birds, Miracles, Healing etc.

(2). Second Pull Bigger Birds: Discernment of secrets of the heart, thoughts, and intentions.

(3). Third Pull was Angels: [The Opening of the Word, one Angel for each seal each day.]

(4). But when it came to THOSE 7 THUNDERS, [EVEN THOSE ANGELS],] who were INVOLVED IN THE OPENING OF THE WORD, KNEW NOTHING. THEY ALL, hushed and shut up. EVEN Moses, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Micaiah Nathan, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Amos, Zechariah, NONE WAS WORTHY TO TAKE THE BOOK, AND TO OPEN IT. JOHN saw it but was forbidden to write it. BROTHER BRANHAM said he saw it but he said, I WILL TAKE IT WITH ME WHEN I LEAVE THIS EARTH. SO, BOTH JOHN AND BROTHER BRANHAM WENT OUT OF THIS EARTH WITH IT IN THEIR HEARTS. SO, BESIDES THESE TWO MEN, WHO WERE FORBIDDEN TO WRITE OT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOBODY ON EARTH KNOWS WHAT THOSE VOICES ARE UNTIL THE DAY JESUS ARRIVES TO TAKE "HIS JULIET" AWAY! THAT WILL BE THE DAY, HOUR, IT WILL BE MANIFESTED.

THE SEVENTH SEAL. JEFF. IN. 63-03-24E

558-2 {255}. Seven, God's perfect number, Seven [Brother Branham knocks six times on pulpit--Ed.] just right down the row. SEVEN THUNDERS uttered straight together like they're spelling out something. Notice, at that time, JOHN started to write, and He said, "DON'T WRITE IT." JESUS never spoke of it. JOHN couldn't write it. ANGELS know nothing about it.

WHAT IS IT? IT'S THE THING that JESUS said even the ANGELS OF HEAVEN didn't know nothing about it. See, see? HE didn't know it himself, said ONLY GOD would know it, but He told us when we begin to see these signs coming up... (Now, you getting somewhere? All right.) Notice, we can see these signs coming up. See? IF SATAN COULD GET A HOLD OF IT...

THE SEVENTH SEAL. JEFF. IN. 63-03-24E

558-4. (258). If you want something to happen... Now, you'll have to take my word for this. IF I'M PLANNING ON DOING SOMETHING, I KNOW BETTER THAN TO TELL ANYBODY ABOUT IT. Not that that person will tell it, BUT SATAN will hear it. See? HE [SATAN], can't get it in my heart there, as long as God's got it closed up with the holy spirit, so it's between me and God. See? HE [SATAN], don't know nothing about it until you speak it, then he hears it. And I'LL TRY DO A CERTAIN, CERTAIN THING, AND WATCH THE DEVIL cut off every wheel he can to get there (see?), to beat me to it. BUT IF I CAN GET THE REVELATION FROM GOD AND JUST DON'T SAY NOTHING ABOUT IT, then it's different. Remember, Satan will try to impersonate. He will try to impersonate everything that the Church will do. HE'S TRIED TO DO IT. We've noticed it through the antichrist; BUT THIS IS ONE THING HE CANNOT IMPERSONATE. THERE'LL BE NO MIMICS TO THIS (See?), 'cause HE DON'T KNOW IT. THERE'S NO WAY FOR HIM TO KNOW IT. IT'S THE THIRD PULL. HE JUST KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT. See? HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

(1). If the Holy Spirit has closed and sealed the Prophet’s Heart, till he cannot speak it, then where do the claimers of those various contradictory revelations get it from? Did they hear what the Prophet said?

(2). “Then He took me to this place and set me down in this room where I was at, and THEN HE TOLD ME WHAT TO DO FOR THE THIRD TIME.

NOW, CHRISTIAN FRIENDS, that'll--WHEN I LEAVE THIS WORLD, THAT'LL STILL BE IN MY BOSOM..”
