Twins - Source- Sons
Brian Kocourek
So far in our study of TWINS we know that Twins is
defined as "Two children born of the same
mother", or as brother Branham said, "Every Revival produces Twins, one which is spiritual and one
which is carnal."
]
This morning we will study of the source of Life for
each Twin, knowing that the Life comes from the male. The female being the
bedding ground only.
In understanding Source: we must acknowledge there is
only One Mother, one church, one
revival, but there may 2 dominant lives
in which both are religious. One can never change into the other.
To begin our study of the source that would produce
two children with two different natures, we must again examine the definition
of TWINS.
TWINS: The main definition of twins is; "two
having been born at the same time, and having the same mother". It
is not necessarily that they have the same father to be twins, but they must
have the same mother. There are cases on record where twins were born of
two different fathers. A case in point was a woman from
Now every Bible student knows that in Scripture, a
woman always represents the church. The church is referred to a Bride or a
Whore, or harlot. Idolatry is always compared to and referred to as a people
committing adultery. And so, the twins we will speak of in this study
will refer to the twins that are given birth by the same mother or church.
Twins always speaks of two, and only two. Twins does not speak of three for
that would be triplets, four is quadruplets, and five is quintuplets. Therefore
we will be speaking of TWO. Not one, Not Three, TWO.
And this two
that we are speaking of in this study are the two different types of believers
who are given birth by each and every revival.
Hearing
Receiving And Acting 60-0607 E-16 So we find out,
that in every revival that's ever been borned in the world, it produces
twins. That's right. Every revival has twins. They have a bunch in there
that's carnal believers and a bunch of spiritual believers. Every
revival produces that: an Esau and Jacob. And as they go along, first thing
you know, the carnal begins to think, "Well, these guys are getting off of
the deep end. I better separate myself from them." They go back to the
intellectual part. They want a pastor that'll speak to them of pleasant things.
They don't want that Spirit-filled pastor, that'll obey the Holy Spirit from
the platform, just preach the Word just like It is. As John said, "Lay the
axe to the root of the tree and let the chips fall where it will." Most of
the churches today will vote that out of their pulpit. That's right. It'll come
a separation, always does that. It did it in the Methodist age; it did it in
the Baptist age; it did it in the Pentecostal age; it'll do it in every age.
Ephesian Chuch
Age 60-1205 113 Now, as I said to begin, 'fore we
start off on this again, every revival produces a pair of twins. One
is a spiritual man; the other one is a natural man of the earth, "I
joined the church; I'm just as good as anybody." And that's what this
revival produced. That's what, every revival. That's what Luther's
produced; that's what Irenaeus' produced; that's what Saint Martin's produced;
that's what Columba's produced; that's what Wesley's produced; and that's what
Pentecost produced. Just exactly. You see how they've gone to seed,
Notice he says, And that's what this revival produced. That's
what, every revival ", and then he names each church age, and
says every revival, so he is speaking of this revival, we call the Message as
well.
Ephesians Church
Age 60-1205 153 Now,
remember, each church has its formals and each church has its spirituals.
That's the twins that's born in every revival and lives in every church.
They started it right in this age and it ends up in this age. And
finally, the formals took it over in the Thyatira age, and Luther pulled it
back out again. And now it's swinging right back in again. Can you see that
formal religion? There's no difference between that and Catholicism. It's all
the same thing. Every organization's butchered right into it. God never did
organize His church. That's exactly what they was trying to do here. And
you watch and see now if that isn't right, just show you how cursed an
organization is. It was foreign to the new church, the New Testament church.
See?
Blind
Barmtimaeus 61-0124 E-49 Every revival
produces twins. The two sons of Jacob--or Isaac is well represented. Every
time there's a revival, there's a Esau born and a Jacob born. One
religious man of the world gets starchy, and takes some seminary
experience; and the other one wants that birthright regardless of how he has
to get it. If he has to be a holy-roller, or anything else, he wants the
birthright, I don't care. That's what's
the matter with the people today. They're afraid of that birthright. Oh, how
that they hate that. But it produces twins. The men of the world,
very religious inclined, do good alms and things, but cares nothing about the
birthright... Those two great factions has been fighting since the world
begin. And they're about ready to come to a head right now, where something
that Jesus said, "they'd
be so close alike they'd deceive the very elected if it was possible." It's true. You see what a deceiving
hour that we're living in. Stay with
the Word, brother. Don't leave that Word. That's right. The Word will speak
for Itself.
The main thread that ties all these quotes together is
that in each one, Brother Branham tells us "every revival produces
twins." Therefore, we can
conclude by this that every time there is a revival, and a church formed it produces
two different types of Believer; A True genuine believer, and a false believer
or make believer.
Scripture wise, we can show this phenomenon took place
on earth as far back as the time of Cain and Abel, who both presented sacrifice
God. But God received only one and He
rejected the other.
In dealing with Source we need to go back into the Book of beginnings, which is Genesis. The
Word Genesis comes from the root word genus, which speaks of birth, source,
origin, or generation.
Therefore the Book of Genesis is the Seed
chapter in the Bible. This being so, then it must follow that
every seed that will ever come forth must be found in this Book. For it is the
Book of Seeds.
In
fact he said in his sermon, Seal of God 61-0216
P:17 Jesus said it would be very close together. So close alike. Now,
remember, that it'd be so close that the very elected could be deceived if it
would be possible. Now, we want to find out where they come from. Where did
this all start? As I've told you that every cult and every religion began in Genesis,
everything we have. The Assemblies of God began in Genesis. The Baptist
began in Genesis. I can prove it. Yes, sir. Every cult, even we have, I can
prove it, it begin in Genesis. That's right. Just search Genesis, and then
you got the rest of it you see what kind of seed it is, you see where it's
going to. See? And just watch it, and it'll just vine it's way right
through the Bible. Just exactly. Both of them begin in Genesis. And we find out
that Genesis is the
seed chapter.
Now, a seed is by definition a carrier of life. Therefore, the Book of Genesis,
being the Seed-Book, must also be the Book of Seed-Life, or shall we say the
Book of Life. Therefore, we must go back into this Book of Life,
This Book of Seed-Life, in order to find out more about Source in understanding
this Bible Doctrine of TWINS.
Since we are examining the source of the two seeds
found in the Book of Seeds, (Genesis), it
will be here also that we shall find the law which God placed that will govern
the reproduction of these two forms of seed life.
Genesis 1:11 And
God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the
fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon
the earth: and it was so. 12 And the
earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree
yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw
that it was good.
Now, the first point we must make is this. At this
initial point, in the history of this earth, God set forth, or planted in the
ground, one of every kind of life form that will
ever live on earth. He also set forth a law in order for that
life form to be able to regenerate itself. In each life form, God placed a
mechanism called seed-life, to bring forth others in the same image and with
the same nature. When the
Scripture says every seed will bring forth after
it's kind, the word kind
means nature. Therefore we have a clue as to
the identity of these two sources by examining their nature,
which will tell us what form of life they are, and who their source of
regeneration is.
Therefore we want to find out where the life forms of
these two specific seed life come from since they are of such a nature that
every revival must bring them forth. We
must then find out when the first revival took place that produced the first
set of twins? For if he said, every revival has always produced twins then,
then we must be able to trace back the two seed-life forms back to their
origin.
Now, to understand this we must understand what the word
revival means. The word revival is used in reference to a stirring up of those
who have been indifferent in the faith, and bringing them back into a
meaningful and useful life. The word revival also refers to a bringing
back to life or a bringing back into use. And therefore it deals with
life, or an infusion of life.
Therefore we can say that when a woman brings forth
children there is a life coming forth and a revival in that woman to produce
life once again. Therefore, to type a woman with the church is very fitting
indeed. Especially in the case of child bearing and revival.
Now, the question remains, where did these first set
of earthly twins, Cain and Abel come from. and of course to find out let's hear
what a vindicated prophet had to say.
69-2 Ephesian Church Age - Chapter 3 Now let us be very careful that we are not
confused at this point. Thus we will seek the Word to validate this claim.
Let us go back to the Book of the beginning, Genesis. In the Garden of Eden there were TWO trees. One was
good; one was evil. One produced
Now, brother Branham points out here that Cain came
from a different source than Abel. This is in fact True and can be attested by
what each manifested in his life. Just look at the nature of the two and you
will see some very striking differences.
We see in I John
This declaration is very important for us to
understand if we are to believe the Bible Doctrine of TWINS. For the Scripture
is given to us to establish Doctrine which will fortify us in our walk with
God.
II Timothy
John said Cain was of the wicked one. Therefore he
could not have been from Adam, for Adam was a son of God. Therefore we must be
able to see that Cain
manifested something in him that was not manifested by Adam or Adam's children.
We then need to look
into the source of Cain's manifestation to identify his nature and thus his
source.
Now, both of these
children were religious, and we can in fact find out that all
the way down through the ages both twins were always religious, we must then
ask ourselves this question, "If every seed
must come forth after its kind," or nature, then it must
stand to reason that the source of the two different seeds were in themselves
both religious.
Jesus Himself makes this distinction in John
Now, watch what Jesus says next. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell [you] the truth,
ye believe me not. 46 ¶ Which of you
convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He
that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye
are not of God.
We see here that Jesus brought these men back to their origin by
identifying their behavior with the source of that behavior.
Again we see in Matthew
The word Jesus used here when He said, Fill ye up the measure of your fathers, is a
Greek word pleroo, which means; to carry into effect,
or bring forth into realization or manifestation. And what are
the things Jesus is speaking of being brought into realization? It is the measure of their
fathers, which is a Greek word metron,
which means; the rule or standard of judgment. Therefore Jesus is saying, "bring forth into realization and carry into effect the standard of judgment that
your fathers used."
He said, you make out like you love the prophets by garnishing their
tombs, but you are the children of those who put them in their.
Notice also that Jesus tells them that inwardly they
are full of iniquity. This further speaks of their source, and in these words
we have the necessary clue to find the source for these men.
Now, to trace back this nature we must go back to the
first bringing forth of Life. For we know that God is a Father, and the life is
in the male. In the next few verses of
scripture we will see how that God, who is the Word, is the great fountain of
Life.
John 1:1
¶ In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was God…. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not
any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light
of men.
John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Psalms 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life:
in thy light shall we see light.
21-129 Hebrews Chapter 57-0821 "This Great
Fountain of Spirit which had no beginning or no end. This Great Spirit
began to form in the creation, and the Logos that went out from It was the
Son of God. It was the only visible form that the Spirit had. And It was a
theophany, which means a body, and the body was like a man.
I John 1:1 ¶ That which was from the beginning, which
we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and
our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2 For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear
witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father,
and was manifested unto us; 3 That which we have seen and heard declare
we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our
fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
John 6:63 It is
the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I
speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the
word of God.
I Peter
Marl
Now, we see where Life comes from, it comes from God.
But where did that nature come from that that kills and lies and commits
adultery and shows forth a standard of judgment that is wicked and evil?
Notice, Jesus Himself them called them serpent seed.
But even before the serpent, we find the source of iniquity actually up in
heaven in an archangel called Lucifer.
Ezekiel 28:12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in
beauty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious
stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond,
the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire,
the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the
workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day
that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that
covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy
Now, let's stop for a moment and break down the
attributes of this created being.
Thou sealest up the sum… sealest = chattham meaning to affix a
seal. Brother Branham said the seal could not be
placed until the item was full. Therefore he
filled up the sum. so what
is this sum that he filled up? SUM = Hebrew "tokniyth"
from the root word, it is pronounced "To'-ken",
and it means the pattern. so
we see this one who had been in
The next attribute we will
examine is it says he was full of wisdom … FULL = male' pronounced, maw-lay which means fullness…. Wisdom comes from Hebrew word chokmah but pronounced hok-mah,
and it means, wisdom in administration,
and comes from the root word chakam
pronounced hawk-ham and it
means to teach wisdom. So we see
he was a leader in the administration and a teacher in the worship of God.
Seal of the Antichrist 55-0311 E-18 The
right hand man of Almighty God was Lucifer, the son of the morning. The first, God
granted him almost co-workers with Him; he was a co-worker, partly equal with
Him; only Satan could not create. God is the only Creator, but Satan
took something that God created and perverted it back into something else, evil.
And now notice, when Cain and Abel, a very beautiful picture of it... Cain and
Abel was nothing more than the prefigure of Judas and Jesus.
Marriage And Divorce 65-0221M 17-5 Did
you know Satan was coequal with God one day? Sure was, all but a creator; he
was everything, stood at the right hand of God in the heavens, a great
leading cherubim.
God's Servant Job 55-0223 E-12 As soon as Satan... You know the
old--the argument is: why couldn't God have by-passed all this, and not had any
of it? But God putting Satan almost coequal with Him, Satan taking the
things of God and perverted them into the evil thoughts, and through there
began to pervert things into evil instead of good. And God, as soon as the
first thing was done, out of His great treasure chest of love, He had a plan of
redemption, that quick.
Let Your Light so Shine Before Men 61-0903 Do you know what caused the first battle in
heaven, was when Lucifer set up a greater class of people, got a better
class of angels, he thought, big a bigger kingdom, a more brighter, shinier kingdom
than Michael had. And he was kicked out of heaven. See where class comes
from? Stay away from class. The hungry don't want class; the hungry wants
food. Yes, sir.
Now, let's look at the next attribute, it says he was perfect in beauty = perfect kaw-leel and
means entire or whole, complete,
Only One Way Provided By God V-21 N-2
63-0731 56 I'll say
something here, maybe I oughtn't to say, but yet I believe I ought to say it. If
you noticed, Lucifer is exactly doing the same thing today that he did at the
beginning. See? Lucifer, at the beginning, wanted to build himself a
kingdom which was greater and more beautiful than Michael's Kingdom, Christ. He
want... That was his ambitions to achieve something like that. And what did
he get to do it by? He took fallen angels who had lost their first estate.
He took that to do it with. And today Lucifer has got into the church, and
taken away the Word, and injected denominations, and he's building a church,
the ecumenical move that's going on now, to unite all the Protestants together,
and altogether come into Catholic. And this pope they got in now, to do the
same thing, exactly what the Scripture said it would do. And what's he doing it
by? He's doing it by men of those great ecumenical moves, who does not know
God; and the many of them in the Pentecostals, 'cause they're doing the same.
What is it? He's doing it with fallen angels, fallen Lutherans, fallen
Methodists, fallen Pentecostals, that lost their original estate from the Word
of God, and going right back in to make a great big ecumenical move. Fallen
messengers, messengers who once stayed with the Word, but sold out their
birthrights and joined in with the world... The same thing, it's at the
last day. And Lucifer is achieving today by men with those spirits in them,
that he did with angels at the beginning, fallen angels who kept not their
first estate to obey God. And he's doing the same thing today.
God of This Evil Age 65-0801M 79
Now, you said, "Satan's son?" Show me one place in the Bible
that Cain was ever called Adam's son. The Bible said he was the son of that evil one: serpent's seed. No, the cover's
been took off now, brother. The pyramid has been opened as the revelation
showed. Notice what he will do, his thoughts. He thought God dwelled in worldly
beauty. He did that in heaven. Sin never begin in the garden of Eden; it
begin in heaven when Lucifer, the son of the morning, exalted himself in beauty
and wanted a more beautiful kingdom than that of Michael. And he thought that
God dwelled in beauty. And notice Cain. He didn't want no blood
sacrifice. He come down and offered the fruit or the fields of beauty upon his
altar. Very religious, done everything that just exactly like Abel done,
offered a sacrifice, fell down before God in worship, obedient in every way, but without the revelation of
the Word. And the Word was from the beginning, God's plan. But
God revealed by revelation the very thing that He vindicated and punctuated that
that was right: not religion, not an altar, not belonging to church, not making
a sacrifice, not being sincere, but by the revelation of the Word of God, God
revealing to him what--that it--his mother did not take a apple that a
snake give her, but she had a sexual affair with the person of Satan in the
form of the beast, not a reptile, but the most smartest, subtlest of all the
field, the image of man, only thing that the seed would mix in. Now, science is
trying to find him. And they never will find him, because every bone in his
body's changed. But the Bible declares it to be so.
Thou art
the anointed cherub that covereth Notice, He was the anointed or consecrated cherub that covereth = cakak to overshadow
or lay over…. and I have
set thee [so]… God made him this way. God created him to
bring forth the fall. God created him to lead in the worship with Michael and he made him that he would fall.
Serpent's Seed 58-0928E 13-5 Which is the strongest, as I said, the
Saviour or sinner? Which has got the most strength? Then the stronger had to
permit the lesser. And He only does it for His glory. When He made Lucifer,
He knowed he would be the devil. And He had to let it be there to show that He
was the Saviour, the Christ. He had to let it happen that way. Now, don't
the Bible say all things work together for good to them that love God? So what
are you scared about?
Thou was
perfect in all thy ways, = complete, whole, entire, sound, finished off, in all thy course
of life, Until iniquity was found in
thee Now this word iniquity is a Hebrew Word (e'vel) which actually means unrighteousness, or un-right-wise-ness. To act wrongfully or to deviate from. So we find that this one deviated from the
truth, and he is the progenitor of all those who deviate from the truth. he
is the source of their nature.
Jesus tells us how these two forms of life came to be
that they would grow up side by side with one another in his parable of the
wheat and tares. We will examine this parable in depth later when we deal with
Seed.
Matthew 13:24 ¶ Another parable put he forth unto them,
saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in
his field: 25 But while men slept,
his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the
tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,
Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then, hath it
tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto
him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest
while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both
grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the
reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to
burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
But the question is who planted those tares? What is their source. We find our answer also
in Jesus breaking down of the parable.
Matthew
Jesus is called by the title
Son of Man more times that any other title in the scripture. This title, Son of
Man, signifies a prophet. Therefore we see that a Prophet will come forth
sewing seed.
38 The field is
the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the
tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed
them is the devil;
Brother Branham further enlightens us on this parable
in the 70-1
Notice he tells us they both took nourishment from the
same sun (light) and rain (doctrine) and we know that in the beginning
God first gave birth to His Son Jesus. He was not God the Son, but He was the Son of God. Then immediately this
Son of God, Who came forth like a little light, began to be used by God in
bringing forth the creation of God.
In continuing with Q and A
pp. 26 brother Branham went on to say, Now,
"No man has seen the Father at anytime." No man can see God in the
bodily form, because God is not in body form; God is a Spirit. See? All
right. "No man has seen the Father, but the
only begotten of the Father hath declared Him,"
I John... See? Now, but notice now, there's nothing; there's just space.
There's no light; there's no dark; there's no nothing; it's just seems nothing.
But in there is a great supernatural Being, Jehovah God, PP. 28 Now,
notice. Then after while I begin to see a little sacred Light begin to form,
like a little halo or something; you could only see it by spiritual eyes to
look now, while we're looking, the whole church now. We're standing on a great
big banister, watching what God's doing. And we'll get right down to this
question here and you'll see how He brings it in.
"Now, no one has seen God. And now, the
next thing we begin to see, by eyes of supernatural looking, we see a little
white Light forming out there. What is that? That was called, by Bible
readers, "Logos," or "the anointed," or "the
anointing," or the--as I was going to say, the--the part of God
begin to develop into something so human beings could have some type of an idea
what It was: it was a little, low--a little Light moving. He... That was the
Word of God. Now, God
gave Himself birth to this Son which was before there was even an atom in
the--or air to make an atom. That was... See, Jesus said, "Glorify Me,
Father, with the glory that We had before the foundation of the world."
See, way back in yonder..."
Notice that brother Branham points out to us that it was
a part of God which came forth in a birthing process and brought forth a
As Brother Branham continued in Q & A on Genesis, in
pp. 32 he goes on to say, "Now, in
So we see then, that when God
gave birth to Himself a Son, it was a part of God coming forth, the very Life
of God coming into his Son. Just listen to the word from ...
Proverbs 8: 22-36 NIV 22 "The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,
before his deeds of old; 23 I was appointed from eternity, from the
beginning, before the world began. 24 When there were no oceans, I was given
birth, when there were no springs
abounding with water; 25
before the mountains
were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, 26 before
he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. 27 I was there when he set the heavens in
place, when he marked out the horizon
on the face of the deep,
28 when he
established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, 29 when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the
foundations of the earth. 30 Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was
filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, 31 rejoicing
in his whole world and delighting in mankind. 32 "Now then, my
sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. 33 Listen to my
instruction and be wise; do not ignore it. 34 Blessed is the man who
listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. 35 For
whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.
We'll close here by saying so far we've seen God and
how He began his Creation by first birthing His Son as a part of the Logos Life
that came forth from God. Wednesday night we will begin to look at the next
thing God created which were the angels, but they did not come in the image of
the father, and they were not born or birthed as the Son of God was. They were
created, but had no God-Life.
Let us
pray...
