Sometime the Capstone will return, the head of all of it, and receive
the Bride unto Himself;
Tonight I would like to focus on this thought here of "Sometime
the Capstone will return, which the Capstone is the head of all of it, and It
will return in order to receive the Bride to Himself;"
Now, there is an awful lot that is said here! But by
God's Grace I would like to break this down and examine this thoroughly. He said, "Sometime the Capstone will return, the
head of all of it, and receive the Bride unto Himself;"
And we find that this statement consists of 5 points.
I) Brother Branham begins by
saying, "Sometime" - so we are looking at a specific time or
season for something to happen, and that something is...
II)
"The Cap Stone shall
return"
III) "In order to receive Something" and that something is called ...
IV)
"The Bride"
and where is this Bride going to be received?
V) "To Himself" And
that is the focus of the Message. "To Declare Him, that He is Here!"
So let's begin with our first point in tonight,...
I)
The word... "Sometime", He said, "Sometime", In
other words, we are looking at a specific time or
season for something to happen.
[ Ecclesiastes 3: 1] "to everything
there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven:" but we are not interested in every time for
everything. More specifically, we are interested in a specific thing with a specific
time or season. So then, the season must have earmarks or marks of distinction.
Like we see in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Each
of these seasons have earmarks or specific
characteristics that we are aware of and that we know and of which we use to
identify the season we are in. So we see, that the
characteristics identify the season.
[ 1 Peter 1: 5
- 13] You who are kept by the power of God [ Romans
Now, the season is very important to us, and we must
know and understand what season we are in, because each season has specific
earmarks, identifiable characteristics, or what we shall call fruits. Each season has specific fruits that will
come forth and you must know what season you are in so that you will know what
fruits to expect. Strawberries are harvested in June, so if you were to look
for them in October, you will miss out on the strawberry harvest. Just the same
as Apples are best harvested in September or October and if you look for them
in June you will not be too satisfied with the fruit that you find. You must know what fruits
are to accompany each season and then you plant accordingly and you also
harvest the same manner.
[ Psalms 1: 1 - 4 ] Blessed is the
man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the
Word of the Lord; and in His Word does he meditate day and night. And he shall
be like a tree that is planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the
chaff which the wind driveth away."
You'll notice here that the
scripture tells us we are to have the right fruit for the right season. We see this also in
[ Matthew 7: 16 - 20 ] Ye shall know
them by their fruits! Do men gather grapes off of thorns, or figs from
thistles? Even so, every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corruptible tree [ see 1 Peter
From [ Anointed Ones at the
End - Time pg. 15 ] Brother Branham said, when referring to Matthew 7, "What is the fruit? It is the teaching
of the season."
So we see then, that the season is all important as to
what fruit is to be manifested. And since the fruit is the teaching of the
season, then the teaching will identify the season as well. Right?
So we see that the season has characteristics which identify it. And these
characteristics that we are looking at here, is the fruit or teachings that are
being presented to the people. So then, we must ask ourselves what identifiable characteristics is Brother Branham speaking of
here, when he says, "Some time".
Some time, what? And we follow this up with ...
Point # 2) "Some time the Cap Stone shall return." So then, we
are looking at the season when the Cap Stone shall return. OK! Good - now what
is the Cap Stone you ask? I'm glad you
asked that question, because that is a very important question to ask. Now we
do not find this word Cap Stone even used in the Scriptures. So we must ask ourselves, what he means by
the word cap. He has already told us that the foundation stone was laid in us
before the worlds were even framed, and we found that was Christ.
But if you will notice how Brother Branham used this
word Cap Stone, right after he used it, he immediately qualified the use of
this word by saying, " the Head
of it all." Let's just read it together now, "Some time the Cap Stone
shall return, the
Head of it all." And as I
said, we do not find anywhere in scripture the word capstone but we do find the
word headstone, and that is what he is referring to here as he ties the cap
with the head. And actually, that is where you wear a cap. On
your head. You do not where it around your waste, nor do you wear it on your arms or legs,
or hands or feet. But on your head. So we see that a
cap is for the head. And as I said, we do find the scripture speaking of the
Headstone.
[ Zechariah 4 : 4-7] Then the angel
that talked to me answered and said unto me, 'knowest thou not what these be?' And I said, 'No, My Lord.' Then he answered and spake
unto me, saying, 'This is the Word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by
might, nor by power, but by My Spirit' saith the Lord of Hosts. Who art thou, O
great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring
forth the headstone thereof with Shoutings, crying Grace, Grace unto it!' So we see here that the scripture speaks of
the Cap Stone as the headstone and we find a very peculiar thing about the time
or season of
the Head Stone. The people will be involved in a SHOUT! And their cry will go
forth as an echo of the Shout crying, "Grace, Grace unto It!" Grace,
Grace unto what? Unto It! Unto the Head Stone!
From [ Jesus keeps all of
His Appointments pg. 21] brother
Branham says, " As it gets closer and closer, the negative and positive are
coming together, until they both become the same thing. And that's exactly when
the church and the Word has to be One, like Jesus and God was One, just
exactly. "God was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself." And so will Christ have to be in the
church, the anointed of the Word, to make everything fulfilled. And that's the
Capstone that comes upon the last church age. Not
And from [ The Paradox pp. 149 ] He said, watch, Luther - Wesley - Pentecost and the
Cap Stone, when the church and Word becomes the Same. Same
thing, exactly, perfectly." So
we see the time of the Cap Stone will be marked by certain characteristics -
and these characteristics will bring forth a shout in the people crying, "Grace,
Grace unto the It!"
Now, remember, Grace will be an earmark or an
identifiable characteristic of the Cap Stone season.
[ 1 Peter 1: 13
] Wherefore
gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the [Grace]
that us to be brought unto you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ." Now, if you will notice the admonition in
verses [14 - 16] As obedient children, not fashioning
yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as He which
hath called you is Holy, so be ye Holy in all manner of conversation [manner of life ], Because it is written, "Be
Ye holy for I am holy."
Now, we are told here to be holy even as He is holy, yet we know that [ Romans
[ Romans 4: 7 - 8] " Saying, Blessed
are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is
the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin." So we find then, the identifiable
characteristic of the Cap Stone season is that the people will be caught up
into the Revelation of Jesus Christ as spoken in [ 1 Peter 1: 13 ] and as in this Revelation breaks, we'll
understand the Grace that comes with it, bringing us into the same mindset so
that we might all cry out in One accord,
" Grace, Grace, unto It!" which we find in the following scripture...
[ 1 Corinthians
1; 3 - 10] Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ. I thank My God always on your behalf, for the [Grace] of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
that in every thing you are to be enriched [ this Grace brings on a maturity like fertilizer] by Him, in all utterance [Logos] and in all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Jesus Christ was
confirmed in you: [ This is the same as in 2 Thessalonians 1: 10 ] And the reason fort this is so that you will not come behind in no gift
[Charisma which is a spiritual endowment];
waiting for the Apokalupsis [
Revealing or unveiling] of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in
the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. [ Ephesians 1: 3-4 & 1 Thessalonians 3: 13]. God is faithful, by Whom
ye were called unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I
beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak
the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be
perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
Now, I want you to notice that the Grace here, lies in
the fact that He gives you a special endowment to be able to understand and
perceive the Unveiling of Christ when it comes among us.
Jesus said in [ Matthew
[ 1 Peter 2: 6] Wherefore also
it is contained in the scripture, " Behold, I lay in
[1 Peter 2: 7]
Unto you therefore which believe, He is
precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the Stone which the builders
disallowed, the same is made the Head of the Corner, Now if you will notice here, He did not say He is made the Corner, but
He is made the Head of the Corner. Jesus the Man came in the Alpha,
and He is the Lamb that will be at the top of the
[1 Peter 2: 8]
And a Stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense,
even to them which stumble at the Word, being disobedient: whereunto also they
were appointed. The key here is that
only those who are in the Election will not stumble at the Word.
[1 Peter 2: 9] But ye
are a chosen generation, [ the word here is genos
which we get the word gene from and which
refers to Lineage, seed or offspring ] an Holy nation, a peculiar people: that ye should show forth the
praises of Him Who hath called you out of darkness unto His marvelous light:
Which in times past [ a previous time or season] were not a people, but are now
the people of God: which had not obtained Mercy, but now have obtained Mercy.
Notice how Brother Branham was speaking of "a
time when the Cap Stone would return." And we know what he told us
this Cap Stone would do. He said, "The anointed Word which is Christ
would come amongst the Bride and even enter into the Bride making her One with
the Father." We find this in ...
[ 2
Thessalonians 1: 7, 10 - 12] And to you who are troubled, rest with us
when the lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,
...When He shall come to be glorified in His Saints, and to be admired in all
them that believe, because our testimony among you was believed in that day. Where also we pray
always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill
all the good pleasure of His goodness, and work of Faith with power. That the name of the Lord Jesus Christ be Glorified in you, and ye
in Him, according to the [Grace] of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice how He comes to be [ endoxad in the
saints. This is when the very mind of God comes into the saints.]
[ 1 Corinthians
13: 10] When that which is perfect is come then that which is in part shall be
done away. And the COD book, pg. 1005 Brother Branham quoted this scripture
and then added,
"and
we have today by God's help, the perfect interpretation of the Word with Divine
vindication. Then that which is in part is done away with. " And if this is true and we believe that it
is, then notice the relationship between the Word and the Bride. We find in [ 1 Corinthians
point #3) Which is the
"Receiving or reception We get from Him." And we know that this receiving us is already
taking place as He is gathering us unto Him according to [ 2 Thessalonians 2: 1 & Matthew
So now, he said there is a certain season in which the
Cap Stone Himself shall return and receive or gather a Bride to Himself. This
is what we are striving for. This is what it is all about. And how does He
receive us? By bringing forth in us the manifested Word.
[ 1 Corinthians
2: 14 ] So therefore, those who do see it, can cry
out only one thing, " Grace, Grace, unto
It!"
[ John 16: 12 - 15] (read) That is why no man
can come unto the Father but through Him.
[ John 13: 20 ] (read) Let's just bow our hearts in
prayer....
