The Third Pull, what is it,
when will it be and where will it be?
Saturday November 14, 2021
Brian Kocourek, Pastor
This morning we will begin our message by looking at the last time
William Branham spoke in a sermon concerning the third pull. We hear him in his
sermon What is the attraction on the Mountain? Which
he preached 65-0725E P:62 I went up in the canyon, climbed plumb up
where the eagles was flying around. I was watching some deer standing there. I
knelt down to pray, and raised up my hands, and a Sword struck my hand. I looked
around, I thought, "What's that? I'm not beside myself. Here's that Sword
in my hand, bright, shiny, glistening in the sun." I said, "Now,
there's not people in miles of me way up here in this canyon. Where could that
come from?"I heard a Voice, said, "That's the King's Sword."I
said, "A king knights a man with a sword."He, the Voice come back,
said, "Not a king's sword, but 'THE King's Sword,' the Word of the Lord."
Said, Fear not, it's only the Third Pull. It's the vindication of
your ministry."
Notice
God said, “Not a
kings sword but The Kings Sword”, and there is only
One The King
and that is The Eternal, immortal King which
is God Himself.
Now, we find in
the word of God in 1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King
eternal, immortal, invisible, the
only wise God, be honour and glory forever
and ever. Amen.
And
this Immortal King is also the King of Kings, and the King of Glory.
1 Timothy 6:15 Which
in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of
kings, and Lord of lords;
Revelations
19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a
white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on
his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he
himself. 13 And he
was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out
of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations:
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his
thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND
LORD OF LORDS.
So
the Lord of Lords, and the king of Kings has a sword that goeth out of His
Mouth and that sword is the Word of the Lord. And that God
placed His sword in the hand of William Branham and said this is the third pull,
and God pointed out to Him that this Sword or third pull is the Word of God.
Now,
King David knew who this King of Glory was. In fact in the 24h Psalm David speaks of the King of Glory 4 times.
Psalms 24:7 Lift
up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the
King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong
and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift
them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of
hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
We
also see in Scripture that God refers His Word to a two
edged sword, because it cuts coming and going.
Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is alive and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Ephesians 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
From his
sermon Influence 63-1130B P:59 brother
Branham said, “What
was He? He was the Word. St. John 1, "In the beginning
was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Hebrews, the 4th chapter, said, "The
Word of God is quicker, more powerful than a two-edged sword, cutting..." It just don't baby and pat. It cuts coming and going.
See, "Cutting to the marrow of the bone,
and It is a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." That's the Word, the Word made flesh. And here
it was; what did He do? He looked upon them and could perceive their thoughts,
because He was that Word, and the unchangeable Word. And He's still the same. He doesn't change. Now, notice. In this unchangeable Word He looked right
into the woman's face.
And so that unchangeable Word (The Sword of The King) was placed in the hand
of William Branham. Not you, not me, it was placed in the hand of William
Branham God told him that is the third pull.
Now, brother
Branham happened to be with brother Vayle in some store when they saw a sword that looked just like the one that God
had placed in his hand, and brother Branham pointed it out to br. Vayle, so br.
Vayle bought it. I happen to have that sword right here. (show it)
Therefore if we are to understand the third pull, then number one we must
understand that it is The Word of God placed in the hands of Gods prophet. It
is not just something to do with the Word of God, for it is The Word of God.
The third pull
is The Word of God and we see the manifestation of it for it is
a living Word that is very much alive
and active and is always made manifest in a living situation.
From his sermon Anointed ones at end time
65-0725M P:189 brother Branham said, “Notice the very day when this messenger, not
when he starts on the, but when he begins to declare his Message. See? The First Pull, healing;
Second Pull,
prophesying; Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed. There's no more
higher order to reveal the Word than prophets. But the only way the prophet can be
a-vindicated is by the Word.
Now, many do not believe that. They think that the pillar of fire showing
up over the head of William Branham was his vindication. Or they think the
horizontal rainbows was his vindication. Of they think the Pillar of fire
coming down on the Ohio River was his vindication. But he said “the only way the prophet can be a-vindicated is by the
Word.” Therefore, He must stay true to the
Word of God, and that only.
You say no!, no!, no! a prophet has signs and wonders! And you are wrong
if you say that.
Jesus said of John the Baptist that He was more than a prophet.
Matthew 11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say
unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to
see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8 But
what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that
wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 9 But
what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold,
I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you,
Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the
Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater
than he. 12 And from the days of
John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the
violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets
and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which
was for to come. 15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Let
him understand.
Now in getting back to Anointed ones at end
time 65-0725M P:189 brother Branham continued, And remember the Third Pull was the opening
of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in the Word. Do
you see it? It is then, in that day when this thing is to take place that
Jannes and Jambres, the impersonators, will appear again, just like they did
when Moses appeared with the original Word to say it; they appear to
impersonate it. Just exactly right. Now, you see what Matthew 24:24 is? See? Anointed ones.
Notice the
Word is a Sword right? A very sharp two edged Sword. And it was to open the Word which had been
sealed, thus revealing what was inside the Word, which were the mysteries. So
God used a very sharp two edged sword to open up His Word for us to see inside,
and that opening or revealing of the Word and the Seals which were hidden in
the Word God called the third pull.
He said “the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden
Truth that's been sealed in
the Word..” He called it “the opening of the Word and the revealing of
the mysteries,” and it shows how it is the Word of God alive and
active in a living situation. And the Word revelation
means “the manifestation of Divine Truth.” So it reveals what is inside
the word by using a sharp two edged sword to reveal.
Like when you open an envelope, if
you use your finger like I do at the mail box, the envelope gets damaged, but
if you use a sharp two edged envelope opener it leave s very clean edge on the
envelope. I have one that looks like a sword. (show it)
Now, the next quotation we hear William Branham being asked if the third
pull would be used to change our bodies, and I want you to list carefully to
his answer.
From his Questions and answers COD 64-0823M
P:86 248...
“this the third pull and is speaking the Word. It seems entirely possible
for you to speak the word and one would be completely
and fully restored, placed entirely ready for the rapture in the resurrection,
the Son of man. This is so, or is it not? And you would do this if properly
pressed upon. Would you not “escape all these things (it’s got a ditto there) escape all these things and stand before the Son of man”? (Luke 21:36)
Now, that was not brother Branham thoughts there but just a question
someone asked him. Br. Branham was just reading a person’s question. But listen
carefully to how he answers that question, because the answer tells us exactly
what it is.
“Now, my dear
friend. See? Now, I think here that you got a good statement. Yes, sir. Yes,
sir. Now, that would be so. You said, “Brother Branham...” In other words,
here’s what I’m... I don’t think that it’s... I can... I believe, Not polishing
up what you said, but I believe I can make it a little clearer to people.
See? You are believing, because of the Spoken Words and things like that
that He said about. And all of you here witnessed the squirrels and
all these other things that’s been done. But did you notice, that was
Sovereignly given. I never asked Him, “Lord, let me do this, speak
these things in like that, do these things there.” I never asked Him that.
He by His own Divine will came to me and said, “You go do this.” See? I
wasn’t asking one thing about it. Moses never asked to go down in
Egypt, but was God that sent him down to Egypt. See?
So before we go one more second with talking about the third pull, get it out of your head
that at the time of the squeeze the bride will have the third pull and she will
do this or that. She can only do what God wills and does and then we step into
what he is showing us to will and do.
Philippians 2:13 “For it is God working
in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.” Not you good pleasure.
So just get it out of
your mind any thought of how you are going to have the power of the spoken
word to do whatever you want to happen, God has never worked that way. And
never will. For “He changes not.”
Next we see the time when the third pull was used to bring sister
Hattie Wright’s boys to repentance and give them eternal Life.
Unveiling of God 64-0614M
P:35 Look at that Syrophenician woman run to Him and said, “Thou Son of
David, have mercy on me.” He never as much as raised His head. She had no
claims on Him as Son of David; she was a Gentile. No more than my daughter has
claims on me as husband, or my wife as daughter. Yet, she is my daughter and my
wife; she’s my daughter in the Gospel. But earthly she has no rights to call me
a father. See?
Now, notice, this Gentile woman had no
claims on Him as Son of David. But blind Bartimaeus did (See?); he was a Jew.
Now, He came as Son of man. You have to know these words and these things. Look at Hattie
Wright that time when this third pull... You remember it. Of all the
everything, that woman
said the right thing. You’ve got to say that right word, the right thing to God.
Now, the
illustration here with sister Hattie Wright is that he was talking about a few
instances in Scripture when the right words were spoken to Jesus which created
the right atmosphere for him to speak the Word of Life to the person who had created
that right atmosphere by their spoken words. So their speaking the right
words created the atmosphere for the third pull to work. And I
believe that is what brother Branham is talking about when he speaks of the
squeeze and the third pull.
From his
sermon Look away to Jesus 63-1229E P:16 Brother
Branham said, “So
now, I am going to say something to you now, that I haven’t said all along. And
that is, the thing
that we have looked forward to for so long, or at least many
years, four or five years or maybe longer, the third pull has now been
vindicated, and I’m sure you all know what it is. Now, remember, there’ll
never be any impersonation of that, ‘cause it can’t be. It cannot be. Now, it’s
in existence, and I am warned of this, that soon, right at this time now,
it’s just happened, so it could identify its presence among you. See? But it will not be used in a great
way, until
this council begins to tighten up. And when it does, when that
does... The Pentecostals and so forth can almost impersonate anything could be
done, but when that time comes, when the squeeze comes
down, then you’ll see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested
in the fullness of its power. See?
So it does not
say anything about the third pull being in the bride, or even used by the
bride. I do not know who started that idea. But it just says when the time
comes and the time will be identified by the council tightening and the squeeze
coming down. Now, get it out of your head that the bride will have the third
pull, because he does not ever say that. He’s talking about the third pull of
His ministry. That is what the angel told him. But it will be for the bride.
Souls in prison now 63-1110M
P:138 In the days of Sodom, the First Pull was to righteous Lot. And the
Bible said, "The
sins of Sodom vexed his righteous soul daily," how them women acted and done.
You remember, "As it
was in the days of Noah..." What was they doing? Eating, drinking, marrying, giving in
marriage: women (See?), women. What was the days of--of Sodom?
Women. And the first message was Lot. They laughed him to scorn. Then He sent
another messengers, two of them, and they went down. That was His Second
Pull for Lot--for Sodom. But look at that one that went last. Just
more and more mercy;
it was all over then, all over at that time. That third
Messenger that went down there, the Third Pull, what was He? What kind of
a ministry did He have? He set with the elected and told them what was
taking place behind Him. Is that right? But when He stepped off into Sodom,
He wanted to find... Even Abraham crying, "If I could find fifty righteous..." on down to ten righteous. God said,
"Yes,
find ten righteous..."
So here he
tells us the third pull in Abrahams day was when mercy was all but over. It
came at a time when God was ready to burn the sodomites. But that third pull to
lot for the righteous but brought destruction to the sodomites. Therefore, look
at the characteristic of the timing.
And also in
that sermon Souls in prison now 63-1110M P:127 brother
Branham says, “You said, "Oh, if we would've lived
back in the time of St. Paul, yeah, I'd have took sides with St. Paul."You
hypocrites, why don't you take the side with his doctrine? (and
what was Paul’s doctrine? One Lord One Faith, one Baptism, and he
preached of the
parousia of Christ, and yet today they deny what he preached and
call it false doctrine. It’s the Same thing brother Branham is talking about.
And he says…) You'd
have done the same thing then you done now, for you're the children of your
fathers, your organizational fathers, Pharisees, Sadducees, and
self-righteous... That's--that's it. I tell you in that hour that we live; I
wonder if this could be the Third Pull. Just a minute now. Jesus said,
"This kind receives greater damnation." See?
So again he tells us when the third pull
will go into effect? When mercy is all but over.
Souls in prison now 63-1110M
P:131 The first three; three is perfection. That's when the ministry
went forth. The Second Pull was the discernment of spirits of prophecy. First
was the healing of the sick; the second was the prophecy that went forth,
that knowed the secret of the thoughts, when the Word Itself was made
manifest, which, that's great. But remember, the seventh is the finish. Could
this be the finish pull? It's all over. Could it be? Think of it now. Just
think where you're at. See? Seven is always the finish--Three Pulls. 132 Jesus' ministry consisted of three pulls. Did you know
that? Notice. Be sincere if you ever was in your life now for a minute, few
minutes. His First Pull was healing the sick. He become a very popular
Man. Everybody believed Him, seemed like. Is that right? When He went forth
healing the sick, everybody wanted Him in their church, but one day He turned
around and started prophesying, for He was the Word. And He was the Prophet
that Moses spoke of. And when He went to tell them, and telling how they was
living and the things they were doing, He become very unpopular. That was
His Second Pull. I wonder if it has typed right back again? Just think a
minute. Could it be? The first, healing everybody, the second... Oh,
"It could be Jesus Only. It could be Beelzebub; it could be..."
That's the same thing they did there. See? Same spirits living in the
same kind of people, condemned people that could never be saved because they
were condemned before... They...
Souls in prison now 63-1110M
P:134 Jesus' ministry, when He was healing the sick, He was so
wonderful. "That young Prophet of Galilee, why, He makes the blind to
see. He's even raised the dead. We got three cases of it. He actually raised
the dead."But one day He turned around; He said, "You generation of vipers. You make the
outside of the platter clean. You
appear to be holy, but the inside of you, you're nothing but a bunch of snakes."Oh, when
that prophecy went forth, condemning that organization, then it changed. They
turned against Him. That's right. And finally, by rejecting Him, they crucified
Him. But you can't kill the ministry; it lives on. You can put the messenger to
sleep, but you can't put the message. That's right. He lived on.
135 And
notice, when the Third Pull of His ministry come, the First was
healing the sick, the Second was rebuking their organizations and prophesying
what they had done, what they were, and what was coming: what is, what will
come, what was--what is and will come. That's what He done. Is that
right? But His Third
Pull was when He preached to the lost that couldn't be saved no
more. They were down there where them big painted eyes was. Preached to the
souls in hell that did not accept mercy, but were eternally separated from the
Presence of God; yet they had to recognize what He was, because God made
Him there. Wonder if His ministry climbs out the same way in the last days.
As it was, "As the
Father sent Me, so send I you. The works that I do shall you also."
136 Lost, could
never be saved, they had rejected mercy. That was His Third Pull.
Now, is there any question? His First Pull, He healed the sick. Is that
right? His Second Ministry, He was prophesying. His Third Ministry
was preaching to the eternal lost. The three mountains and so forth, the
lost, eternal. 137 Noah's
ministry, all ministries done the same. Noah preached. That is exactly
right. He went into the ark, and when he went into the ark, there was seven
days that nothing happened. His testimony preached to the doomed...
Sodom and Gomorrah, Jesus referred to both them as coming 'fore the coming of the Son of man, so shall it be like the days of Noah, so
shall it be in like it was in the days of Sodom. He referred to
Noah. Noah had Three Pulls, and his third was to the lost
after the door was shut. For God let him set right there where nobody could
enter or go out. They were inside for... On the seventh mountain, the
highest mountain, that's where He settled the ark, mountain. See? That right?
Again we are
seeing brother Branham define the ministry of the third pull, mercy for the
elect and judgment to those who turned down the message of Grace.
From his
sermon Is your life worthy of the Gospel 63-0630E
P:23 br. Branham said, “Now, did you notice, there was three pulls or three
turns of it when they went out first and called to them that were bidden
to come, and they didn't do it. So there went out a healing
campaign, went out to get the blind and halt. And still there
were room, so he went out and compelled the good, bad, and indifferent
that they should come in. Now, you read another parable of this, something on
the order of it, in Matthew 22:1-10, if you'd like to read it later on. But I drew this subject
from there: "Is Your Life Worthy of the Gospel?"
So lets just
read the story in Matthew 22:1-10 to see
these three pulls he is talking about in this parable. And always remember, Br.
Branham taught us that “all the new testament speaks of this hour.”
Shalom 64-0119 P:92
And all the New Testament speaks of
this hour. Jesus Christ speaks of this hour. Who is it then, some
man? It's Jesus Christ, the Son of God manifesting, reflecting the Light on the
Word that He promised for this day.
So let’s see
what Jesus said that speaks of this hour.
Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them
again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, (ok,
so we can see that this is end time scenario here he is speaking of) 3 And sent forth his
servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Notice he said
they would not come, just like we see in Matthew 25 where ten virgins are called to the
wedding supper but the foolish would not come. Oh they came out to see what the
midnight cry which is the message was all about, but refused the Parousia of
the one who was outside knocking. They could not see the difference between the
appearing and coming, They could not see with their hearts that God’s presence
was there and so because they looked past the appearing in favor of the coming
of the physical vessel, they missed the Groom, which is the Holy Spirit who is
in our midst.)
4 Again, he sent forth other servants,
saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things
are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of it, (o that parousia nonsense, it’s a
false doctrine) and
went their ways, (to the
ones who were selling and making merchandise of the Midnight cry) one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and
entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
O
yeah, tell me it’s easy to preach the truth, they don’t want it, and Jesus
foretells us what is to take place in this hour with his true five-fold
ministers.
7 But when
the king heard thereof, he was wroth: (Notice
not a king, but when THE King heard it, He became angry) and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up
their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the
marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the
highways, and gathered together all as
many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with
guests. 11 And when the king came
in to see the guests, he saw there a man
which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest
thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
The
Greek word there means they were muzzled.
They were afraid to speak. I wonder if that isn’t those who heard the midnight
Cry, but stepped away from preaching the Message and resorted to pushing play.
They were muzzled? Why? FEAR? They couldn’t speak in the presence of the King.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away,
and cast him into outer darkness; there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
God in simplicity 63-0317M
P:95 God in the beginning that could've made the sun preach the Gospel, or the
winds preach the Gospel, or an Angel preach the Gospel, but He ordained men
for that purpose, and He never changes it. He never ordained
denominations; He never ordained groups of men; He ordained men to preach the
Gospel, not machinery, mechanical devices, or any angelic being;
it was man. And when He brought deliverance to the people down there, He
sent a simple human being, …
Behold a greater than Solomon
is here 62-0721 P:49 God don't take an idol; He takes a man. And if a man
will prostrate himself in the Presence of God, God puts Hisself in the man,
and the man becomes the living creature that God's a living in, not a
dead idol, but a man. God never used idols. He always used man. God don't
use machinery, mechanical devices. It's... He uses men, individuals.
Excuse me. I didn't mean to holler that loud. Notice. I'm not excited though. I
know right where I am. That's right. I just feel good.
Angel and His commission
47-1102 P:20 God always use man for His
work. Is that right? He don't use organizations, or so
forth, and mechanical devices, but He uses men. The Holy
Spirit fell upon men. That's God's instrument here on earth.
Notice in all
these quotes he says men, plural. Not a machine, not a mechanical device, men.
Not to get off track but we see the parable was showing us the third pull is
always to the totally lost but for the elect.
And in his
sermon Look away to Jesus 63-1229E P:17 Brother
Branham said, ‘Now,
I must continue in evangelism, just as I was commissioned first; I must
continue on. Therefore, you’ve had the Word, and you know what to look for,
how to stand. I must continue on in evangelism. And friends of
mine, keep still and just keep moving on, for the hour is
approaching swiftly (See?), that when something is going to be done. Now,
you might see some little odd things happen from me, nothing sinful, I don’t
mean that, but I mean something odd to what the regular trend, because what I
have reached to now in the ministry, I’m dropping back here, watching that spot
and waiting for the
time to use it. But it’s going to be used. And everyone knows
that for as certain as the first was identified, so has the second
been identified; and if you’ll think real closely, you who are spiritual
(as the Bible said, “Here’s to him who has
wisdom.”) the third is properly identified. See?
We know where it is. So the third pull is here.
The Historian Josephus said that not one Christian died
in the Roman Siege upon Jerusalem. And so in this next quote brother Branham mentions
this. He said in Questions and answers COD -
64-0823M 24 And according to the history, there wasn't one of them that
believed in Jesus and believed the Word but what was watching for that to
happen. And they escaped, and went from Jerusalem into Judaea, and--and fled
for their lives, and not one of them... Because they were warned by their
Shepherd and was watching for that hour to come. When they heard Titus was
coming, they took off, run for their lives, and got out of the city.
So the main thing
is to be ever watchful, and observant what is going on and look to the Word for
your answer on how to deal with it.
Now, before we
read on, notice he was told his ministry was made up of three pulls. The first
one was identified, the outward sign in the hand, the second was identified the
thought of the heart the prophesying and the thoughts of the heart being made
known. And he said the third has been identified as well. Now, where I
disagree with many in this Message is that I do not believe the third pull has
anything to do with the bride speaking the Word and imparting life, or creating
anything. That was his ministry. But it is for us in that it will be used for
us, for our benefit when it is used by him.
Brother
Branham continues here so let’s listen carefully to what he says,
18 It is so sacred that I mustn’t not say much about it, as He told me
in the beginning. Said, “This,
say nothing of it.” You remember that years ago? It speaks for
Itself. See? But I’ve tried to explain the others, and I made a
mistake. This will be the thing that, to my opinion (I don’t say the Lord tells
me this.), this will be the thing that will start the rapturing faith for
the going away. See, see? Now, and that... I must lay quiet for just
a little while. Now, remember (and who’s listening to this tape) you
might see such a change in my ministry right away, dropping back... Not going
up, dropping back... We’re right at the age now, and it can’t go any
further. We have to wait here just a minute until this happens over here to
catch up, then
the time comes. But it’s thoroughly identified.
Now, he tells us what has to happen first in his next statement.
19 There’s coming a time upon, in this nation, to where this nation is going to exercise all the power that the beast had before (which was pagan Rome, when it become papal Rome. See?) that this nation will do that. Revelations 13 plainly explains it. The lamb came up out of the earth. The other beast came up out of water, thickness and multitudes of people. This lamb came up where there was no people. A lamb represents religion—the Lamb of God. And remember, it spoke like a lamb; it was a lamb, and then after while it received power and spoke like a dragon, and exercised all the power the—the dragon—power the dragon had before him; and the dragon is Rome always. So don’t you see, Roman denomination, a marked Protestant denomination, an image unto the beast, making a power that’ll force all Protestants like a union. You’ll have to be into this council of churches, or you won’t be able to have fellowship or to... Well, it’s practically that way now. You can’t go to a church and preach, ‘less you have a fellowship card or some identification.
Hmmmm!!! And what is a fellowship card? It’s a
card that allows you to fellowship, or some identification he said.” So I
ask the question. Could that be the “vaccine passport”? You have to have it to
attend church? Have we already seen this scene taking place? Is it later than
we think?
Notice he says
what we are waiting on for this to happen, and he says it is for the USA to
take its role in Revelation 13 and speak for the Dragon
which is Rome. So it won’t be Rome speaking, but the image of
the beast which is the USA Politics that is pushing all the countries into this
germ warfare submission. Whatever the CDC says, and the NIAH and the WHO which
used to be funded by the USA until Trump and then the Gates foundation became
its greatest funder. And I think under Biden the USA is back to funding it.
Again we must
go back to what brother Branham said in Jezebel Religion to see that they can’t
get it done through religion, so they must turn to politics and there they will
get it done, and when they do they bring on the boycott and the mark of the
beast.
Jezebel religion 61-0319 P:64
Then
one day after sin had took its toll, and God has brought His people to their
knees... Jezebel took everything; she wiped it all up; and she'll do it again.
That's THUS SAITH GOD'S HOLY BIBLE. She'll do it again. She's right on the
throne now, behind the figurehead, twisting it anyway she wants to; and
nobody's going to stop her. Certainly, nobody's going to stop her now,
because what they couldn't get in the religious circles they cut it, cut it all into
politics, and there
they done it. Uh-huh, that's exactly what they done. Which the political will be a boycott
just exactly back to
the mark of the beast, as sure as I'm standing here. See? And
the Bible said it.
And of course
the Bible said it in Revelations 13. Notice
he says that
is what we are waiting on to happen before the Third pull will be used in its full
power. And we are there my friends, so the only thing we need to
be looking for is the resurrection so our prophet and his third pull may become
manifested in its full power. It’s not you and me using the third pull, it his
third pull. You and I have not even had a first and second pull so how are we
going to have a third pull? It’s his ministry, and His third pull, and not
ours. But it will be used for us.
Now paragraph 20 of Look away to
Jesus 63-1229E “And now, on persons like ourselves, we’re going
to be cut out of all that altogether. That’s exactly, because they won’t
be able to do it. It’s tightening; and then when that time
comes, and the press
comes to a place to where you’re pressed out, then watch
(what I am fixing to tell you in a few minutes) watch the third pull then. It’ll be
absolutely to the total lost, but it will be for the Bride and the
church. Now, we’re closer than it seems to be. I don’t know when, but
it’s real, real, close. I may be building a platform for somebody else to
step on. I may be taken before that time. I don’t know. And that time
may be this coming week that the Holy Spirit will come with, and bring Christ
Jesus. He may come this next week. He may come yet tonight. I don’t know when
He will come. He doesn’t tell us that. But I do believe that we are so close,
that I would never die with old age. Yet at fifty-four years old, I’d never die
with old age until He’s here. See? Unless I am shot, killed, or something,
or other, some way killed; just old age wouldn’t kill me, until He’s come. And
I believe that... And I want to say this; I have never said it before, but according
to Scripture, according to what He said thirty years ago, thirty-three
years ago on the river down there (in 1933, rather), what He said, everything
has happened just exactly. I may not do it, but this message will introduce
Jesus Christ to the world. “For as John
the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so is the message to forerun
the second coming.” And John said, “Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.” See? So it paralleled it in every way, and I know
it will. The message will go on.
Now, brethren,
Jesus Christ the Word has manifested to us, the Son of Man has appeared.
Remember there is an appearing before the coming, and we have already witnessed
the appearing of the Lord which is the Parousia of Christ and of the 84 signs
and events which constitute that appearing we have already witnessed 79 of
them, so it is later than you think.
From his
sermon Souls in prison now 63-1110M P:160 brother
Branham said, “Tape people, that’s you that’s listening to this tape,
I wish you could look at this congregation at this time. I hope you’re feeling
the same way. What if it is? Look at the Scriptures piled in here.
Could it be? Is the Third Pull to preach to the eternal doomed that’s
rejected the message of salvation? “Why,” you say, “the church is going...”Yeah,
they will. They’ll go right on just the same. But remember, all this time Noah
was in the Ark. The Bride is sealed in with Christ. The last
member has been redeemed. Sixth Seal has produced itself. The Seventh Seal
brings Him back to earth. The Lamb come and took the Book out of the right hand
of Him and set down and claimed what He owned, what He had redeemed. That
right? It’s always been that Third Pull.
Now, he asks
the question, to the Tape people,. Those listening to the tapes.
Is the preaching on those tapes going to be to the totally lost? Remember, in Matthew 25 the foolish virgin listened to the midnight cry,
they heard the invitation come out of her my people, and they came out
of their denominational system along with the bride, but when they went out to
meet the bride Groom they were looking for the wrong thing. They
were not taught to get their eyes off the vessel. And so they missed the Groom
who is the Word who was standing there knocking. And so they looked for a
vessel and did not see the Appearing was before the coming, and so they missed
the invisible Parousia of Christ and went to seek the oil in order to see the
visible coming of the bride Groom, But He is the Word, and they were looking
for a vessel and they missed the invitation because they did not understand it,
or they just did not believe it. The Invitation was “Behold he is Here,
come out to meet Him.” And instead of looking for the Word which they would have known to look for
if they had really heard, and recognized what the prophet was talking about,
but they rejected the Unveiling of God, and they rejected the Mighty God
revealed and they rejected the hidden
Christ, and they rejected the Invisible Union, and they rejected Christ
Revealed in his own Word, and so The King became the Rejected King, by them who
went to those who were selling. They looked for the physical body and therefore
because they looked for the vessel they did not see nor understand who was in
their midst, which was the mighty God unveiled. Because God is Spirit and He is
here just as real as He was when he was in the body of His Son, but they missed
it and went to them that sell, and rejected the invisible Union and so they
were left to the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth which is the
tribulation period.
From his Audio letter to Lee Vayle 64-0500 P:68 brother
Branham said, “And
so when I was setting there, all at once, a voice begin to speak to me. Said, “Well,
where do you think that your visions come from?” See? “Were they included by the atonement?” See? And I begin to answer back, not thinking. And all at
once, I kinda come to myself that I was talking to Somebody there in the woods.
And there was nobody around me. And I thought, “What was that?”And then just a
few minutes I thought, “Well, I’m not sure. I’m not beside myself.”In a few
minutes, here it was again, talking to me. It said, “You have been given power for this.” See? And Lee, you don’t have to put this. It was
leading up to the third pull. You see? So you know what I mean. So but, It
said, “You’ve been given power for this. This
is bringing the third pull.”And I said, “Well,
there’s no sick people here.” See? And so He said, “But you’re hunting, and you’re in need of squirrels.”
He said, “Just say where they’ll be, and
which a way they’ll come, and they’ll be there.”So I thought, “My.” I studied a little bit.
Now, this
story he tells here pertains to when He was told to speak the squirrels. He
wasn’t asking God for them, but God just told him to do it. So in this next quote we get another indicator
of when the third pull will be used, he says when the hour of persecution begins.
From his
sermon Shalom 64-0112 P:116 Brother
Branham says, “And we all know that the identification, we
know what the third pull is, we all understand that. Now, you’ll have the
tape. You see? And it’s... Now, I think it’ll just lay dormant for a little
while, until the great
hour of persecution comes on. That’s when It’ll speak. It’ll be manifested.
Just like the five straight signs without failure, perfectly.
Ok, so the
when he is talking about is when the persecution comes on. We won’t see it
until then.
And from his
sermon Shalom 64-0112 P:76 brother
Branham lets us know that the third pull will come after John 14:12, for it will be the greater works that
follows the works of John 14:12. It will
be the greater works that Jesus speaks of in John
14:12. He says, “Then one time He said about the Third Pull, how it would come by this
one way, then by knowing the heart, and then the spoken Word. Jesus said, "Greater things than this will you do; for I go to My Father." John 14, "The works that I do, shall you do also; greater than this,
for I go unto My Father." Just as I
said awhile ago, when Mary tried to identify Him as Joseph's son, He corrected
her. His Words cannot fail. He said so, "Heavens and earth will fail, but My Words will not."When we hear the symphony beating, changing, fixing to
change, it's a junction time. We notice as He begin to beat, and we
seen, "The works that I do, shall you do
also, and greater shall you do."
"Greater," He promised it. We wondered how it could be.
Now, here it is very plain that brother Branham is referring the third pull to the greater works.
Some would have you to believe that is the sign of Messiah is the greater
works, but the greater works was creating by the spoken word the squirrels, and
by the spoken word the Life coming back into the fish, just like Jesus Third
pull was by the Spoken Word calling Lazarus from the grave having been dead for
four days and corruption had already set in.
Therefore outside
of the Seals being revealed which he said was by the third pull, and the Sword
which represented the Word, showing us a symbol for the Spoken Word, besides
those symbols, we see there were three out right manifestations of the third
pull given to us,.
1)
The most famous is the three squirrels spoken
into existence
2)
The dead fish resurrected and given life
3)
Hattie Wrights boys given eternal life
Notice that all three things involve the Spoken Word and the three
things they have in common is upon the spoken Word there was an imparting of
life to each of them. Now, he also spoke to us about the tent ministry and the
little box, where the angel said watch the resurrection in there. So let’s
examine that next.
Now, we have already looked at the timing, the signs
or indicators for the season that it will be used, and we know the
third pull will come into its full effect at the time when
the council of churches begins to tighten,
and at the time when the Squeeze is in full
force, and the time when the persecution begins,
and also at the time when the USA takes over doing
the dirty work for Rome as he pointed out that
the beast in Revelations
13 will execute the plan for the beast of Revelations 17. So this further confirms the quote from Jezebel
Religion where brother Branham taught us “it will move from
religion to politics, and then it will get done, the boycott and mark of the
beast..”
Now in The
Seventh seal 63-0324E P:98 Brother Branham tells us the
place, where the third pull will be manifested in its fullness. We have already looked at the what it is,
and the when
it will be, And now we will look at the where it will take place.
The Seventh seal 63-0324E
P:98 “And just then He picked me up. And He took me up and set me way up high
to where a meeting was going on, looked like a tent or a cathedral of
some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box-like, little place
over in the side. And I seen that Light was talking to somebody above me,
that Light that you see there on the picture. It whirled away from me, like
that, and went over to that tent, and said, "I'll meet you there." And
said, "This
will be the third pull, and you won't tell it to nobody."And in
Sabino Canyon, He said, "This
is the third pull." And there's three great things that
goes with it, and one unfolded today, or yesterday, the other one
unfolded today, and there's one thing that I cannot interpret, because it's in
an unknown language. But I was standing right there and looked right straight
at it, and this is the third pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of
God... Oh, my. That's the reason all heaven was silent.
And we can read
also from his sermon Why are people so tossed about
56-0101 P:18 where he said, “Then He taken me from there, and I seen a great huge tent.
I never seen such a
tent.
Now, remember
in is day tents were like the old fashioned circus tent, straight sides and a
sloping roof where there were poles that held it up in the middle and it kind
of hung down and loped to the sides. But the tents today look more like a
cathedral and are supported by air huge compressors, and are rounded at the
corners, and roof bulging out and not in like the old tents. But made from the
same kind of material. And I saw that tent in detail back in 2011 in a dream
and I described it to br. Billy Paul and he got very excited when I told
him.
And brother
Branham continues, “And it was packed and lined everywhere with people. And I
walked out to the... Looked like I was standing above the people, looking
down, where I'd just made an altar call; and hundreds and hundreds of
people were weeping and rejoicing after they had accepted the Lord Jesus as
their Savior. And I looked, and then heard a man get up and say, "Call the
prayer line." And people begin to line up over on this side, the left from
where I was looking down towards the platform, and they lined all the way up
and down the street for a prayer line. I noticed to my left, which would've
been to my right if I was on the platform, a little wooden building. And
I seen that Light, that they have the picture of, you know, that's always in
the meetings; I seen that Light leave me, and go to that building, and go
in that building; and a Voice said to me, "I'll meet you in there; that'll be the third pull."I said, "Why?"He said, "Well, it
won't be a public show like they had it." And I came to.
So
my brethren, we have a lot to look forward to, but just remember, this is his third
pull of his ministry not ours, but it will be for us, who are the bride of
Christ. So do not try to rush God, just be patient and wait until all these
factors fall into place, which we can see them shaping up now, so be patient,
and pray that you will be a partaker of that when the resurrection meetings
begin.
Let
us pray
