Rainbow Covenant Colors

We Would See Jesus  57-0516   E-15 Well, now, how can we see Him? The way we can see Him is by His works. Now, he hasn't come in a corporal body yet, among us. He's here in a spiritual body (You believe that?), a spiritual body called the Holy Spirit. He's in the form of the Holy Spirit. In the beginning God was a Spirit. And all the fountain of goodness and mercy and power, and all the good things of love, God was the center of that fountain. And then the Logos that went out of God in the beginning become what we would call a theophany, or a supernatural body. God is just not like the air, but He's in a body. Moses seen Him pass and said it looked like the back part of a man, and so forth. And then that same theophany was made flesh and dwelled among us. And we beheld Him, the only begotten of the Father: Christ.

 

Life  57-0602   E-22    Let's close our eyes to our imaginations for a few moments and go way back before there was anything. The great fountain of all eternity was that spirit of love, joy, that spirit of honesty, that spirit of trueness in this perfection.

 

Now, to begin we see before God made anything, that He dwelt alone period. And brother Branham points out He was a great fountain, which suggests to us that He contained something, and this something was living as the terminology "fountain" would suggest.  Gensis 1:1    ¶  In the beginning God, "Elohim", the self existent One.

 

so what we find when we begin to the read God's Holy Bible, is that it tells us in the firt few letters that God was alone and in Him was Life. And as He began to bring forth this Life, it first went into His Son, which is His First Offspring, and the word offspring means to spring off from. So we see, God, the great Fountain of Life, began to bring forth His great plan to fulfill Himself, and He began this fulfillment by bringing forth first of all a Son, His First born Son.   

 

We find in John 5:26   "For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;"

 

Therefore we can see what David meant when He described God as the Great Fountain of Life. 

 

Psalms 36:9 "For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.'   

 

Notice that Both David and John saw two main characteristics in  God.

 

#1) Both David and John saw God as a great fountain of Life.

#2) This Life was represented in a great Light.

 

The first time we see this expression of Fountain of Life come forth is when God begins to speak, And what do we see first? We see a little white light that is spoken into existance. And what does that Light bring forth? It brings into manifestation that Life that was in it. The Father giving birth to His Son.

 

Brother Branham spoke of this in his sermon, QA Hebrews Part 3  57-1006  339-Q-74  In the beginning God... We'll go back to our Hebrew teaching just for a few minutes. God was this great big fountain of seven colors. How many knows that? See? … Now, when He, the Logos went out of God, which was God coming from this one big fountain into a body in the form of a man, and it made the Logos, which we call theophany...

 

And from his sermon QA Hebrews Part 2 57-1002   273-385  And so Jesus had a beginning; God had no beginning. See? But the Son was the... Not eternal sonship, but the Son that was with the Father in the beginning was the Logos that went out of God. And it was the Theophany of God that went out, the human form that didn't have eyes like you see: a better eye. It didn't have ears like you hear, but a far more hearing. See? It was a Theophany, that all this rainbow condescended into a Theophany. Moses saw It when It passed through the rock like that. He saw the back parts, said, "It looked like a man."

 

From the Message ATTITUDE AND WHO IS GOD? 50-0815  015 notice that brother Branham tells us this light that came forth from God was a it a little white Light, like a mystic Light, like a Halo. Let's listen to what he says here. "And we're taught in the beginning, that the Logos, or the Son of God went out of God. Now, I do not believe in eternal sonship. That's even radical to even mention such a thing, eternal sonship. How could He had an eternal sonship...?... He had to have a beginning. See?   016   So He first was God, Jehovah. And out of Him... Let's just picture now as a little drama so you can get it. Let's see coming out of space where there's nothing, let's make it a little white Light, like a mystic Light, like a Halo. And that was the Logos that went out of God in the beginning. That was the Son of God that came out of the bosom of the Father. That was what was in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us. In the beginning was God. And then out of God came the Logos, a part of God that went out of God.

 

Now, I want you to understand that brother Branham refers to God as a great seven colored fountain like the seven colors of the rainbow. And when that great fountain of Life began to bring forth sons, the seven colored lights of that seven colored horizontal rainbow formed itself into a theophany that was a white Light that went forth from God. Because white is the summation of all colors.

 

1 Timothy 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

 

I would like to focus our thoughts this morning on this rainbow of light that came forth and condescended into this Theophany. For we know that in Him did all fullness dwell.

 

From Reference.com we read concerning white light the following. White light consists of the visible light colors in the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of waves of different wavelengths.

The seven colors that are visible to humans have different wavelengths. (1)Red has the highest wavelength, then (2)orange, (3)yellow, (4)green, (5)blue, (6)indigo and finally (7)violet, which has the shortest wavelength.

 

Notice there are only seven colors that are visible to humans. Yet there are billions of colors that man has not seen. Now, they will try to sell you one of these new televisions and they will say they have billions of colors, but man is only capable of seeing the seven main colors and variances of them.

 

The Bible says in John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

 

John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

 

And 1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

 

But the Apostle Paul told us in

 

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

 

So I guess there is a lot more of God than he has shown us in his Redemptive covenant. and that may be more colors than the seven He chose to use for his contract with us. But we are not here to speculate, so we will stick with what we have by scripture and by the Prophets words for this hour.

 

Now, I think it is very interesting that we are dealing with not only Light and colors, but wavelengths of electromagnetism. Because if you will recall our sermon on the DNA of God we found that our DNA is not only musical, but it is mathematical and also it is organized in the form of a Message.

 

"Scientists at Bell Laboratories conducted studies on the mathematical language in the DNA molecule. And what did they find? Its mathematical pattern is identical to that of conversational language." 


And the article continues, "Concerning DNA, Charles Thaxton states: "A structural identity has been discovered between the genetic message on DNA and the written messages of a human language." (Charles Thaxton, "A New Design Argument," Cosmic Pursuit 1, no. 2, Spring 1998)." 


The article continues, "Hupert Yockey explains: "There is an identity of structure between DNA (and protein) and written linguistic messages. Since we know by experience that intelligence produces written messages, and no other cause is known, the implication, according to the adductive method, is that intelligent cause produced DNA and protein. The significance of this result lies in the security of it, for it is much stronger than if the structures were merely similar. We are not dealing with anything like a superficial resemblance between DNA and a written text.

We are not saying DNA is like a message. Rather, DNA is a message. True design thus returns to biology" (Hubert P. Yockey, "Journal of Theoretical Biology")." 


So not only is the Message and the messenger one, but the Messenger is actually the expression of the message. As Jesus declared, "I and my Father are One, because My father indwells me."

 

To me that was a great discovery to see that God Who gave us our DNA to be so different that no two people are identical in any way, and each has its distinct Message written into it that defines who that person is. Well, this morning we are going to find that God who is that Great seven colored fountain of Life is also expressed in the electromagnetic band length as we will show you shortly.

 

Now we've already shown you that "White light consists of the visible light colors in the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of waves of different wavelengths. The seven colors that are visible to humans have different wavelengths.

 

Now, I would like to continue with the article. "Even though all colors have different wavelengths, they all travel at the same velocity, the speed of light. Due to the difference in wavelength, every time light enters a medium of different density, the colors bend differently and split to form a rainbow pattern. This process of bending when white light moves from one medium into another is called refraction. For example, when white light travelling through air enters either glass (such as a prism) or water (such as rain drops), the violet component bends more than the rest of the colors and red bends the least, thus splitting the light into the seven colors of the rainbow.

Various wavelengths and positions of visible spectrum.

Even though white light can be split into seven colors, only three colors of light are required to combine and give white light. These colors – red, blue and green – are known as the primary colors of light. All other colors can be obtained by combining the primary colors in different proportions.

 

 Our eyes are sensitive to light which lies in a very small region of the electromagnetic spectrum labeled "visible light". This "visible light" corresponds to a wavelength range of 400 - 700 nanometers (nm) and a color range of violet through red. The human eye is not capable of "seeing" radiation with wavelengths outside the visible spectrum.

The visible colors from shortest to longest wavelength are: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Ultraviolet radiation has a shorter wavelength than the visible violet light. Infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than visible red light. The white light is a mixture of the colors of the visible spectrum. Black is a total absence of light.

 

Earth's most important energy source is the Sun. Sunlight consists of the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

 

Now, what does all this have to do with God in that Great Fountain of seven colors?

 

Brother Branham said in his sermon, Hebrews Chapter 1  57-0821 20-124    Now, the diamond when it comes forth, it's just a big smooth, round like piece of glass. There's a blue diamond, black diamond, emerald, and a clear diamond, white diamond. But when it come forth... Then when it's made and put into use there's a part of that diamond has to lose. And it has to lose the chips off of it. Knock little chips, because when it comes in direct light, like that, it makes a sparkle. The chip what makes a sparkle, the way it's cut. It's cut, chipped, and then when it does, it makes a sparkle, and one will go a green light, the other one will go a blue light, and maybe another an emerald light, and a red light, and different lights go from it like a rainbow color. They call it fire in the diamond. Now, each one of those lights represents gifts. But it's only Christ is the Diamond. And He was the One Who came, and was bruised, and wounded, and chipped that He might reflect Himself back as a Light to the world. He's that Master Diamond.

  20-126    Could you imagine before there even was a earth, before there was a light, before there was a star, before there was anything? There's a Great Fountain going forth of Spirit, and out of this Fountain came the most pure of love; 'cause there was nothing for it to come from there but love. Now, What we call love today is a perverted love. But just as we get a essence, or a little bit of that love in us, it changes our whole opinion. Then out of there come another stream off of this main Fountain, the Diamond, and it was called righteousness, absolutely righteousness. Now, that's the reason we had to have law. That's the reason law has to have judgment. If judgment doesn't follow law, law doesn't do no good. And when judgment was passed by law, which brings death... And there's no one who could pay the penalty but God Himself. And He paid the penalty of our death, and took our sins upon Him, that we might be the righteousness of God through Him. Now, when these great Lights went out, or great rays of Spirit: love, peace... That's all there was. There wasn't no suffering; there wasn't no hate, nor no malice. It couldn't come from this Fountain. That was Jehovah. That was Jehovah God. And now, as the theologians call it, a theophany went from That, which was called in the Scriptural the Logos, the Logos that went out of God. It's hard to explain, but It was a part of God.

  21-129 Now, here's what happened. Oh... Excuse me; I just get on this... This just gets me right where I love it. See? The Logos, and this great Fountain; this great Fountain of Spirit which had no beginning or no end, this great Spirit begin 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 this Spirit had. And It was a theophany, which means a body, and the body was like a man.

 

Now, we must not confuse God with His Son.  John tells us that God is the Word. Some men would tell you that Jesus, the Son of God is the Word, but that is not entirely accurate. God is the Word. God is the Logos, and out of this great fountain of Logos or Word came forth a Little Logos, or Word expressed, and that was the Son. Brother Branham called Him Little Jehovah

 

Smyrnaean Church Age 60-1206   075 "Now, if there's only one form of Eternal Life, and you get it and we're seeking for it through Jesus Christ; that's God's Life, then when that blood cell was broke on the Son of God, and that little Jehovah that was bottled up on the inside of this man called Jesus…

 

129 Hebrews Chapter 1 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.

 

Let's turn in our Bibles now to the Book of Hebrews to see this in Scripture.  

Hebrews 1: 1-3 ¶  God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,   2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;    Who being the brightness of his (God's) glory, and the express image of his (God's) person, (The expressed image... or the out-raying or etching of God.) and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;  4 ¶  Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?   

 

AMPLIFIED BIBLE  In Many separate revelations, - each of which set forth a portion of the truth, - and in different ways God spoke of old to our forefathers in and by the prophets. But in the last of these days He has spoken to us in the person of a Son, Whom he appointed heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time, - that is, He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order. He is the sole expression of the Glory of God, - the Light-being, the out-raying of the Divine, - and He is the perfect imprint and very image of God's nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, he sat down at the right hand of the Divine Majesty on High. Taking a place and rank by which He, Himself, became as much superior to angels as the glorious Name which  He has inherited is different from and more excellent than theirs.  For which of the angels did God ever say, "You are My Son, today I have begotten you, And Again, I will be to Him a  Father, and he will be to Me a Son."

 

Therefore we are looking at the expressed image of God coming forth in his exact representation. Now, remember, in the beginning God was this Great Fountain of Life and this Life was Light. 

 

John 1:3 In Him was Life, (And where did this Life come from? John 5:26 tells us it came from the Father)  For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; So the Life in Jesus came from the Father who is that great fountain of Life. And remember, it was in God a seven colored fountain but it all came together in one Light and when those seven colors went forth it formed one White Light.

 

But each color has a different electromagnetic characteristic. But all of those characteristics and attributes came together to form one white Light. And yet all seven colors travel at the same speed which is the speed of One, the speed of Light. Now, what went forth from God was the Life of God as we already saw earlier in John 5:26.

 

John 1:4 "In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of man". Therefore it was this Life that was in Him that is the Light of man. And we know according to Genesis 1:11 which tells us that "every seed will bring forth after its kind or nature." This is the law of Life, and when we receive a new birth we receive the Law of Life in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

 

John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

 

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

 

Therefore when we are born again we become light beings, and we are called in scriptures children of the light.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

 

 

John 12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

 

And when we receive that God-Life we receive the very nature, the very attributes and characteristics that are part of that Light and life. And we are now expected to live differently than children of darkness.

 

Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

 

Luke 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

 

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

 

Now, John also said if we walk in that Light as He is in that Light it brings us into fellowship with the same one He is in fellowship with, and it also cleanses us from all sin, from all darkness.  

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

 

So we want to know more about this Great Light that brings fellowship and cleanses.

 

1 John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

 

Now, one attribute we can say is that Light gives us direction and guidance.

 

Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

 

John 12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

 

And if Light brings us direction and guidance then a lack of it brings us into darkness and confusion.

 

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

 

John 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

 

Revelations chapter 4 PT 2 24 Elders  61-0101   181   Jesus, God's accepted covenant surrounding the heavens. And around about Him was a rainbow around about the throne in the sight like a emerald, amberish, green Light around the throne. Praise be to God.

 

Revelations chapter 4 PT 2 24 Elders   61-0101  152    Watch this prophet here, five hundred and ninety-five years before the coming of Christ; see how his vision compares with John's. ... a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud,... a fire unfolding itself, and the brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof was the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had a likeness of... man. Notice the color of the Spirit of God which was above the likeness of these four Creatures, was amber. Amber is yellowish green. Now, watch: yellowish green, amber... Oh, He's the same yesterday... He revealed Hisself to Ezekiel in the midst of Ezekiel's vision. This Light that he saw coming above the four living Creatures was yellowish green. When He come to John, He appeared in the emerald which is also yellowish greenHe comes now to the revelator in yellowish green. He comes to us in yellowish green, the Light. Walk in the Light; He is the Light.

 

Therefore we know that in God was a great fountain of Life and as we know there are many attributes which distinguish the difference between different forms of Life. This particular fountain of Life had seven colors which reflect the seven  major attributes of this Life. 

Now, we have already shown that God Is Life and He is the Light of men. In the beginning when God brought forth a manifestation in which to dwell and to manifest, he spoke and a light was brought forth to give manifestation to himself. That was in Genesis 1:3 and God said, let there be light and there was light, and God called the Light Day.  Now, remember in verse 14 and 15 God then creates the sun, moon and stars.

 

QA on Genesis COD 53-0729 P:13 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 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, 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 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...

 

He called this white Light, this other Being, His Son and in this Son dwelled the fullness of God. All the seven colors came together to form a white Light. Not another God, but every attribute and characteristic of God came forth into an image, which He called His Son. For in Him it pleased the Father to dwell.

 

In Malachi 4:2, The Lord is spoken of as "the sun of righteousness",

 

Peter called Him the Bright and Morning Star.

 

John called Him the Light of the world. And also tells us if we walk in this Light as he is in this light, it brings, fellowship, healing and forgiveness of sins.

 

In nature, clouds are formed when the sun shines upon the rivers, lakes and oceans, and causes evaporation of the waters to go up. As the waters gather together, they form the clouds. During their ascent, a purifying process takes place and that which was many becomes one as we in also become one in fellowship. The clouds become white as snow.

 

John in the Isle of Patmos hears the question in Revelations 7:13, "What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?" The answer: "These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. "

 

Just as we have clouds that bring storms and others that produce life-giving rain, so it is be in the spiritual.  Several places in the new Testament we are told that when God returns he will come in the clouds with His Holy angels.  

 

Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power (dunamis = miracle working power) and glory (doxa = opinion, values, and judgments). In other words it will be a Word ministry. A Message.

 

Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Great Glory, a great Message.

 

Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

 

Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

 

Now, it is also interesting that the clouds are associated with rain as we see in.

 

Luke 12:54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

 

And we also see in Luke 9:35 There is a Message that came out from the clouds. "And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him."

 

In Isaiah. 19:1, "Behold Yahweh rideth upon a swift cloud,… " 

 

We also find in Deuteronomy 32:1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.  My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

 

Now, remember, when light is cast upon the rain it must being forth the colors of the rainbow. And if light is cast upon the doctrine it will bring forth the different attributes that are in that light.

 

White light encompasses seven colors, and when you see that white light through a rain drop you will see the seven attributes and characteristics of God. And if the Doctrine does not produce that, then it is a false rain. It i no rain at all.

 

Now, earlier we read here brother Branham associated those seven colors with seven gifts of the Spirit, Love, joy, peace, etc. and there are seven fruits of the Spirit according to Galatians

 

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is (1)love, (2)joy, (3)peace, (4)longsuffering, (5)gentleness, (6)goodness, (7) faith,

 

And this same apostle Paul who spoke of seven fruits of the Spirit also spoke in terms tells us where these seven attributes and characteristics are found. Notice in Ephesians 5:9 notice in (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all (1)goodness and (2)righteousness and (3)truth;)

 

Now, Paul is not telling us here that the goodness, righteousness and truth are fruits of the Spirit, but the fruits of the spirit will be found in these three.

 

Br. Bill Venga from Congo DRC came across a nice quote from brother Vayle a couple days ago where brother Vayle said, in his sermon...

 

Questions and Answers – Pastors – Lee Vayle Jan 24, 1988 … "I'm doing my best to teach what I believe to be correctly identified saying the same thing as the prophet's revelation. I cannot prove it. But up to date I've seen it change people's lives brother/ sister. Change spirit in the church entirely. And when men have listened to me in the congregation there's been changes made, and radical changes. I'm not saying it couldn't be done to somebody else, I'm just saying that's what I'm looking at. I'm looking at a fruitage, I'm seeing it.

 

And if the doctrine, the rain does not bring forth fruit then there is no seed life. And when the light strikes the threefold body, Body, Soul and Spirit, if there is no reflection of the seven colors and attributes of God then there is no seed life.

 

Let us pray...
