The essence of things preached by William Branham in the Church Angel Messages, and Seals, remained hidden to a degree, awaiting the opening of the ‘Trumpets and Plagues.’ Which testimonies place the Messages and Seals in their order.
The 5th Seal:
I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a season, until their fellow servants and brethren, should be killed as they were… (Revelation 6:9-11)
The 5th Church Angel Message:
Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before God. If you shall not watch, I will come upon you as a thief… You have a few who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; (Revelation 3:1-5)
Jesus Gospel Witness
(Matthew 24:9-10) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another
The multitudes of Ephraim (Israel)
In the 7th Chapter of the Book of Revelation, two seeds separate the Church Angel Messages and Seals from the Trumpets and Plagues. Firstly, Twelve Tribes are named, which Tribes are sealed with the ‘Fathers name’ upon their foreheads in the 14th Chapter. They believe JESUS is the Father. And are the first-fruits purchased by the blood of the Lamb who reside within the borders of JESUS promise. Whose blood and testimony is sufficient for their salvation.
You will notice Ephraim is not named in these Tribes.
Secondly, we see a vast multitude gathered from all nations, who having come out of great tribulation, are clothed in white robes washed in the blood of the Lamb. Which tribulation is reaped from that religious error declared in the Church Angel Messages and Seals. Whose garments are washed white in the blood of the Lamb because they defiled JESUS Gospel and clothed themselves with their own works. And who went beyond the borders of JESUS Salvation.
These are saved by grace purified.
In them we see the ‘Kings’ and ‘Nations’ Almighty God promised Abraham. Whose Spirit in Jacob foretold Ephraim would become a ‘Multitude of Nations,’ when he blessed Joseph’s son’s born in Egypt. And further conferred upon Ephraim, his name Israel. So in the Twelve Tribes who bear the Fathers name we see the line of kings promised Abraham. And in the Multitudes gathered from all nations, we find Ephraim. They are both of them the Israel of God, who descend from the Spirit of Prophecy, which Spirit is the Testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 19:10)
And so the souls of those under the altar, slain for Gods Testimony are those under grace, who have preached their church versions of Jesus Testimony. Whose works and gospels are not perfect, but who, in the many persecutions of God’s church in the nations through the ages, have willingly laid down their lives.
And yet, Christian’s are blind to their being Ephraim’s Multitudes, because they look at the flesh, and not the Spirit. Nor understand the ‘Israel of God,’ shall not inherit those lands promised Abraham upon this earth, but rather the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus preached. Who before his crucifixion said; “from henceforth my kingdom is not of this world.”
The 6th Seal:
Lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;… And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (Revelation 6:12-17)
The 6th Church Angel Message:
These things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth…. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take thy crown. (Revelation 3:7-12)
Jesus Gospel Witness
(Matthew 24: 11-14) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come.
Christ’s Covenant falling away
The 6th Church Angel Message speaks of the ‘Key of David,’ which key Peter declared at Pentecost, saying: JESUS is both LORD and Christ. That is; JESUS is both the Existing One and the Anointed One. And in this truth abide twelve tribes, who believe; ‘God is One LORD.’ Which Commandment Moses said, would be a sign upon the ‘forehead and right hands’ of an Israel born of God.
This Faith ‘marks’ God’s children.
Then, this same Messenger reveals the perversion of this very truth, in those who say they are Jews, but are not. That is; they say they bear Gods Testimony, yet deny JESUS is both the Father and Son. Like the trinitarian hordes who have devoured God’s Word; “with Eden before them, and a desolate wilderness after.” (Joel 2:3)
Their church beliefs mark them.
The 6th Seal reveals the ‘sun’ becoming black, the ‘moon’ turning to blood, and the stars falling to earth. Of these lights the Prophet Jeremiah, when speaking of the ‘New Covenant,’ whereby the Existing One would dwell in his people, said; ‘Thus saith the LORD which gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night. If those ordinances depart from before me, says the LORD, then the seed of Israel shall cease from being a nation before me forever.’ (Jeremiah 31:31-36)
For the Sun and the Moon, are the testimonies of JESUS Gospel and Moses Law; the Songs of the Lamb and Moses. Just as the stars refer to God Almighty’s promise to Abraham; ‘that his seed would be as the stars of heaven in their multitude.’ And these stars falling to earth, and the Fig tree casting down its fruit, both speak of JESUS Testimony falling away in those vast numbers of Christians, the multitudes of Ephraim in the nations. And finally in this 6th Seal we hear of great men, bond and free hiding in the dens and rocks of the mountains who hide from the wrath of the Lamb. Which dens and rocks, are those church teachings men hide behind, when JESUS Gospel is preached in Spirit and in truth
Concerning this Seal. When Jeremiah spoke of the New Covenant, and the ordinances of the sun, the moon and the stars, he pointed to JESUS promise to dwell in us, saying: ‘I shall not leave you comfortless, I shall come to you, and shall be in you.’ And this promise was fulfilled in those who believed at Pentecost, and still believe today; JESUS is both the Existing One and Christ. Of this, the Apostle Paul speaks to an Israel born of the Spirit, to examine their faith, and to know that JESUS dwells in us.
This brethren, is the Faith of JESUS.
So we see in the Church Angels Messages, Seals, Trumpets and Plagues, an Israel born of God emerge. Yet above all this Seal speaks of the falling away of Gods Testimony in His people. And from their corruption of JESUS Gospel and Commandments come great tribulation. Which affliction is foretold in Gods Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And which prophecy foresaw their seed would go into bondage, and be greatly afflicted, before being delivered from their captivity.
And this affliction was not only evident in Moses day but in the days when Israel and Judah were taken captive into Assyria and Babylon. And this same captivity and tribulation has repeated in every age of Jesus Church in the nations, as they have cast Jesus Testimony down, and bowed to their own creeds. And having sown the wind, they reap the whirlwind.
So as we come to the 7th Seal in Revelation, we come also to that place in Matthew, Mark and Luke, where JESUS spoke of the ‘Abomination of Desolation,’ as seen by Daniel the Prophet, which abomination is their teachings and creeds. And from their rebellion, desolation.
The Messages and Seals confirm it. To leave our first love is to forsake JESUS Gospel. To partake of Balaam’s idolatry is to sit in Moses Seat; to accuse and judge one another. The sacrifice and fornication of Jezebel is to bow to another gospel. Can you not see, that JESUS Angel in revealing the root cause of ancient Israel’s carrying away into Babylon, is speaking to an Israel born in the Nations. Which seed in Revelation is taken into the wilderness on the wings of an eagle.
In the ‘4th Part of the Four Winds,’ I will share on the ‘7th Seal,’ and that portion of JESUS ‘end times’ message, that follows the abomination seen by Daniel. For in the Messages and Seals we have seen the sowing of Ephraim’s rebellion found in our religious systems. And following Daniel’s prophecy, shall come an Israel from the four winds, that have reaped great tribulation. Which things we find in the Trumpets and Plagues.
I pray the one Isaiah called the Everlasting Father, even the Son of Promise, named JESUS Christ, bless this sharing in your heart and mind. In JESUS consecrated glory I pray, Amen.
