Dedication of Ricardo
Ephraim Ramirez – 11/11/2020
February 27, 2022
This
morning before we go to our teaching we will first have a dedication of little
Ricardo Ephraim Ramirez who was born November 11, 2020 to parents Ricardo and
Angela Ramirez.
This
child represents the fourth generation in the Gatchell and Evans family of Followers
of the Pillar of Fire and Gods end Time Prophet, William Branham, as Little
Ricardo’s great grandfather Russell and Grandmother Isabelle first began this
journey.
The
next generation was little Ricardo’s grandfather Peter and grandmother Diane, and
then his mother Angela and father Ricardo, and now this child, little Ricardo
Ephraim Ramirez will follow in the footsteps of three previous generations,
making him a fourth generation follower of the pillar of Fire. May God’s
present be always with him.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he
will not depart from it.
That
means that is your responsibility to create in your child what you wish for
them to be when they grow up. Your mission as parents in life is but one
objective, to raise up your children so that they will desire what God desires,
and express God’s opinions, Gods values, and God’s judgments.
Then
after you have trained them they will be able to stand on their own two feet
and reflect themselves in their own hearts as true sons and daughters of God.
One of my favorite Scriptures in Isaiah 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of
days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an
hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred
years old shall be accursed.
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them;
and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They
shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are
the days of my people, and mine elect
shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring
forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and
while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Isaiah 65 speaks
of the millennium, where we who have eternal life will be living on earth with
our offspring, and enjoying our eternal lives together. I think there is no
greater aspiration in life than to want that life with your own children to last
forever.
And we have this promise from God
for us and our offspring, if we hear it, recognize it and act upon it.
The apostle Peter mentions this
same promise in Acts
2:37-40 Now when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the
apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the
promise is unto you, and to
your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify
and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
When the Philippians Jailer heard
the promise from the apostle Paul, he was told in Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what
must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the
Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Brother
Branham taught how to make this possible in his sermon The Token 64-0308 P:55 Then when we pray, we must have the Token
to present with our prayers, (that is the Holy Spirit Life
living in us,) as
I said, and now believe for yourself and apply the Token to the whole
family like in Egypt, Jericho, or either in Acts 16:31.
We find out that Paul told the Roman
centurion, say, "Believe
thou, and all thy house shall be saved." Apply it to your family. If
you got a unsaved child, lay the Token right on top of him, say, "Lord
God, I claim him." Stay right there.
If you got a mother or a loved one that's lost, lay that Token on them, say,
"Lord God, I claim it."Move out all the worldly trash out of
your house, get ready for it. Burn up your shorts. Throw your card tables away.
Get rid of your cigarettes. Dump your
unbelief and your church papers in the trash can where they belong. Amen. Then
you're getting ready. Then what do you do? Then apply the Token in
prayer, with real evidence, real faith. Apply it, apply it with
confidence. When you apply the Token, know that you are cleaned up. "If our hearts condemn us not, then we have our request."As long
as you people are doing them things that's wrong, how you going to ask God to
do anything for you when you know you're wrong? That's the reason we just
stagger up and stagger back. I'm not saying this to hurt. I'm saying this to
straighten out, to get things right. How you going to build it upon the chars
of a Sodom and Gomorrah? Come back.
Then when your own life is
committed to God, then commit your children to him. So how do you do that?
Like brother Branham said, make your house a fitting home to
raise him up. Get rid of the distractions of the world, get rid of the TV, the
card games, the worship of materialism, and change the focus of your home.
To Dedicate
your children to God you must first dedicate yourselves to God. That means placing
Him first in your life, above everything else. That means He is number one
above your job, your friends and even your family and friends.
Because if your children do not see
that God is first in your life you will not set an example and pattern for them
to follow after. They will only see you as a hypocrite. And they will learn to
hate and despise hypocrisy as just a bunch of lies. But in creating a Christ centered home, you
will point them in the way that they should go and never want to
depart.
Jesus prayed that God would gives
us his opinions, values and judgments, and he said that would make us one with
God in the same way He and God were one.
Notice what he Jesus says here in John 17, because this is your
example how to do the same with your children. John 17:19-22 And for their sakes I sanctify myself,..
Notice
he said, “For their sakes I have separated myself”
from the things of the flesh, from the care so this life, and “have redeeming my time” for their sakes. Why?
Well he tells us why… that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
How
are children ever going to be attracted to Truth if they do not see it in their
parents? So Jesus set his life aside, put all desires he had for having his own
family and other desires, and set it all aside to devote himself to his family
of brothers. And as true parents that means
sacrificing your own desires to make sure your children come first. And he knew
the actions he took with his brethren at that time would have an effect on
their children, and children’s children.
He
said, 20 Neither pray I for
these alone, but for them also which
shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that
the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Notice,
family life is all inclusive, not exclusive. What you do for one you do for
all. One gets ice crème we all get ice crème. And then listen to his next words
for they will show you how it is done.
22 And the glory (and
the doxa, the opinions, values, and judgments) which you
(Father) gave to me I have given to them; that they may be one, even as (or in the same way) we are
one: 23 I (your
manifested Word) in
them, and thou (the Word) in me, that they may be made perfect (fully made
mature) in one;
and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as
thou hast loved me.
And
so why is this great desire to be one in opinions, values, and judgments so
critical? Because you can not live in harmony for an eternity without it.
Notice what his motive is as he tells us in verse 24“Father, I will that they
also, whom thou hast given me, be with
me where I am; that they may behold my glory, (my
doxa, my opinions, values and judgments) which thou hast given
me
(which I got from you, my Father) for thou lovedst me before the foundation
of the world”
And that is how you will ensure
life eternal in you and your children for the promise is unto you and to your
children, and your children’s children and it will bring you to live eternally
in the new heavens and new earth. When you receive the same doxa Jesus received
from the Father God, and passed onto his brethren, and you pass it on to your
children, and they pass it onto their children, then you will spend eternity
with all your offspring who have received the same God-Life which comes from
God’s own Word.
For Jesus said, “My words are spirit and they are life.”
As parents you are the ones who
will instill in your children the opinions, values, and judgments you have
received from Jesus, and they will become your own opinions, values, and
judgments. And therefore those opinions,
values and judgments will express who you are, and when your children express
those same opinions, values, and judgments, they will be expressing the same
life which is in you and was in your Father God to being with.
Deuteronomy 6:1-4 "Hear, O Royal Seed of God, the Lord God is One Lord, - the Only Lord. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind and your heart
first, and with your entire being,
and with all your might. 2 And these words,
which I am commanding you this day, shall be first in your mind and in your own heart; 3 and then
you shall whet and sharpen them, (like
a man sharpens a knife) so as to make them
penetrate, and teach and
impress them diligently upon the minds and hearts of your children, 4 and you
shall talk of them when you sit
in your house, and when you drive down the road, and when you lie
down and when you rise up. And you
shall tie them as a symbol on your hands…
In other words, they will be tied to your actions, in everything you do. “and you
shall bind them upon your forehead." which means they will
encompass your entire mindset. And, remember, your forehead is where your
frontal lobe is and that is where your memory is resident.
When a person has a lobotomy they lose
there memory. But here we see that they are to take the preeminent place of our
thinking. Even as frontlets between our eyes, that all we see is the word of God. As phylacteries that go "boing,
boing, boing" as we walk along, and they bounce off our head. A constant
reminder. And then He continues, " "And you
shall write them upon the door posts of your house and on your gates."
Why? So that whether you are coming or
whether you are going, there will always be a constant reminder set before you
of God's promises to you in this hour.
So you see when we dedicate our
children, really what it is, is that we are in reality dedicating
ourselves. Therefore, if you wish to
create in them a true relationship with God as a son of God, then you yourself
must have that relationship first. For your stewardship to God is how you pass
on to your children what God has given to you as his children. That is your
legacy in life.
For as we read in the Book of Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
1 Samuel 1:27-28 For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition
that I made to him. Therefore I have
lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to
the Lord.” And he
worshiped the Lord there.
Now, if you
will bring forth the child Ricardo Ephraim Ramirez, and we shall lay hands
first upon you while we pray for you, and then on little Ricardo Ephraim
Ramirez as we pray for him.
Let us
pray…
Satan’s
Eden no 33
More
thoughts on 2 Thessalonians 2
Now, I was going
to preach this morning from brother Branham’s sermon Satan’s Eden and read from
paragraph 13
through 15 and then take it to the Scriptures while we
are doing so.
But before we
can get to that, and perhaps we will have to just may postpone that until next
Sunday, which will be our communion Sunday.
Because I would
like to speak first on a question I received from a brother who sent it to me concerning
something I said in Spoken Word is the Original seed preached in February 17,
2008 and compared it to something I said a few weeks ago in Satan’s Eden no
27.
Basically in the
sermon The
Spoken Word is the Original Seed no 7 I read from 2 Thessalonians 2
the Wuest
Translation, where the Apostle Paul said,
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposes and exalts himself
above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that while I was still
with you I kept on telling you these things? And now you know with a positive
assurance that which namely, the
departure of the church, the saints
being assembled together to the Lord, is preventing his being disclosed as to
his true identity, in his strategic, appointed time, for the mystery of the
aforementioned lawlessness is now operating . Only He (the Holy Spirit) who is
holding (the lawlessness down), will
do so until He goes out from the midst (of humanity.)…
And then He tells us that God is holding back all these things,
until He readies his elect and leaves from the midst of humanity with His
Elect. 6 And
now ye know what with holds that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For
the mystery of iniquity doth already work (Paul is saying, look this
spirit of antichrist that exalts itself above Christ the Word is
already at work in the church,
So he is telling them, this is not a new
thing to you that I am telling you, that this
spirit that is now manifesting itself in the church will one day incarnate
itself in a man that will rule as god over the masses of humanity.
Then he says, that God is now allowing
this spirit to manifest itself in a small way in the church, but when God Himself leaves the church and
takes the elect up and out of the midst of humanity, then that which God has
been holding back will suddenly manifest itself in a way that there will be
nothing hidden but all shall be unveiled at that time.
That is what these words,) “only he who now letteth will let, until he
be taken out of the way” mean. 8 And then shall
that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his
mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his Parousia:
Now, in Satan’s Eden no
27 I read this same verse but said,
5 “Remember ye
not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.”
I was showing
the two Parousia’s in 2 Thessalonians
2, the
Parousia of Christ and the Parousia of Satan. and
I said of this verse. “Now, this is where I want to get to this morning, so
that we might understand the next few things the apostle Paul tells us here.
Notice the
words, “And ye know what withholdeth”
and we see that this is a person, and this one who is withholding is not God who is doing the withholding.
For this word withholding is used in the Scriptures of men who hold down
or hold back,
thus suppressing the truth. So we
see the Parousia of this wicked one is the Parousia of the one who is also withholding,
or suppressing the truth. That is also an identifiable characteristic of his
Parousia, is that the truth will be withheld or suppressed.”… Let’s see what Satan is doing and why God does not step in to stop him. And
we will see that the reason God lets him do what he is here to do, is to expose
exactly what and Who Satan and his minions are.
God actually “lets” or allows Satan manifest his
Edenic plan in order to expose his destructive nature. So we see in the next
few verses that God
just lets him withhold.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only He (God) who now letteth will (continue
to) let, until He (God) be taken out
of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked (that transgressor,
those one’s who’ve gone beyond the limits of law, the lawless one’s, one’s who
are without law) be revealed,”
Now, I accept
that this sounds like a total contradiction in my wording, and you have a right
to think that. But the problem lays in the Greek word that was translated as “Witholdeth” the first time and “letteth” the
second time just one verse later. As we see in verses 6 and 7.
6 And now ye know what withholdeth (katecho) that he might be
revealed in his time. (now for the past few verses Paul has been speaking of the anti Christ spirit) 7 For the
mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth (This same Greek word katecho) will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Now, in that the
word Katecho is made up of two words, kat and echo
and the word kat means to
hold down, or suppress,
and we know the word echo
means.
So we see “to suppress the echo”, and we see this same
Greek word that was used for “withhold”
(meaning to hold down fast) was also used
again in verse 7
but this time was translated as the word “letteth”.
Therefore it appears one is withholding and a different one is letting.
Wuest looked at both of these together as Holding down, and in his translation says that
“God is holding back the lawlessness”, and that
sounds good, but that does not then answer the question, why would God letteth
it and withholdeth it at the same time.
I believe in
verse 3-6
and half way into verse 7, the Apostle Paul is speaking of the antichrist
Spirit that has already been working its way into the church. And he says the one that is “withholding will do so until he be revealed,”
and he is still talking about the
parousia of Satan.
But then He says
halfway through verse 7, “and God is letting this happen, and will do so until He
God is taken out from the midst of humanity.”
Again we read in
verse 6
“and we know what withholdeth” and notice that Paul is not
speaking so much of a person as the spirit of antichrist, for he uses the word
“what withholdeth”, and the spirit of
antichrist is what
Paul has been speaking of in verses 5-6, So he
does not use the word “he that withholdeth,”
because it is a spirit of antichrist in the church that is “withholding” or “holding
back” the truth.
Notice Pau’s
words, he does not say “and he that withholdeth”,
which is a personal pronoun, but “what withholdeth”,
and the word “what” is not even in the Greek
text at all, but simply it says, “and ye know (eido “aware of”) withholdeth,
(or the holding down) that he might be
revealed n his time.”
So to understand
who is to be revealed in his time would tell us who this one is that is
withholding. Is Paul speaking of the antichrist who will
exalt himself above all that is called God or is He speaking of
God who will be revealed in his time. Well, to find out for sure let’s see what
God’s prophet said about that.
And in The First seal the 63-0318 P:43 brother Branham tells
us exactly who is to be revealed here that the apostle Paul is speaking
of. “Let's just read that piece, start up a little farther, the
3rd verse. Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that... (m-a-n)... man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (That's right.) Who
opposeth and exalts himself above all that's called God, or that is worshipped;
so that he as God setteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (remitting sin)Remember ye
not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?... (I'd like to set under some of his teaching. Wouldn't
you?)... And now ye know what withholdeth that
he might be revealed in his time. Not then
(See?), not then, but in his time... See, at the breaking of that
Seal we know exactly what it was. Who is this man of iniquity?Who is this man of sin, this fellow that's a working
iniquity, would he be revealed in his time?
Let’s
just read from verse 3-7A 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first,
and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;
So Paul is not
talking about the Holy Spirit here, Paul is talking about that man
of sin who will be revealed.
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God.
Again He is not
talking about the Holy Spirit here, but that man of sin who will exalt himself
above all that is called God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these
things? Again Paul has not changed the subject matter
and therefore is not talking about the Holy Spirit here, but continues talking
about that man of sin who will be revealed.
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be
revealed in his time. Again Paul is not talking about the Holy Spirit
here, he is talking about when the that man of sin will be revealed as he has for
the past several verse. And to be revealed we know that is to totally manifest
himself to mankind for what he is. So if
the subject is concerning the spirit of Anti Christ in the man of sin, then why
would we assume the withholding is God that is withholding. It does not make sense to me since the very
next verse the Apostle Paul says, that God is letting things take their course
and not withholding.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: Again He is not
talking about the Holy Spirit here, he is speaking of the mystery of iniquity,
which is the spirit of antichrist. And then
Paul says, “Only He who now letteth will let.”
The only way
that this could make sense that it is God withholding is for the word katecho to mean withholding
in both verse 6 and verse 7. So let’s read it that way and see
how that comes out.
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he (the one who is
withholding)
might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:
Only He who now withholdeth will let until he be taken out
from the midst of humanity.
Now, the words “will let” also are not in the Greek so it
should read, Only He who now withholdeth will do so, until
he be taken out from the midst of humanity.
But brother
Branham did not read it that way. He read it as these next few quotes will
attest to.
First seal the 63-0318 P:163 Then in Revelations 13, he sets the
mark down. See, when
He that letteth--only now Christianity is left on the earth in its
purity is because Him that
letteth. You remember back here in that--in Thessalonians? Setting upon the temple of God, calling
himself God;
forgiving sins on earth, and that'll go on, and iniquity shall abound and on,
'cause it won't be known yet until his time to be revealed is called. And then
the Church will be caught away. And when it's caught away, then he
changes hisself from an antichrist now. Oh, my, the church, the great
church and... Now, he becomes the beast. Hm. I wished I could
make people see that.
First seal the 63-0318 P:44 For the mystery of iniquity doth already
work:... (deceivers, you see, deceiving the people off
into something. See?)... only
he... (God)... that... letteth will let, until he... (the Church--Christ, the Bride)...
be taken out of the
way. And
then shall the Wicked one be revealed... (at the breaking of the Seal, at his
time. Paul said, "Not in my time, but in the time when he'll be
revealed. See?)... whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth... (We're going to
get to that after while.)... the
spirit of his mouth... (Watch what that is.)... and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan... (him, him,
a man)... whose
working is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying
wonders. (See?)And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness... (deceiving
people by unrighteousness)... in
them that perish;... (not this Bride, in them that's looking
for such a thing)... because
they received not the love of the truth... (And Christ is the Truth, and Christ is
the Word, but they'd rather have a creed.),... that they might be saved. And for this
cause God has sent them strong delusion, that they should believe a--a lie:... (It should be translated there,
as I looked in the Lexicon, "the lie," not "a lie";
"the lie," same one he told Eve.) That they... might be damned who believed not the truth,
but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
plagues to
break the economy and backbone of Egypt, and so We are in this for a little
while longer I am afraid.
Sixfold purpose Gabriel visit
Daniel 61-0730E P:67 II
Thessalonians the 2nd chapter and the 12th verse. Let's see.
Let's begin above that, the 7th
verse. For
the mystery of iniquity does already work:... (This is Paul
speaking by the Holy Ghost.)... only he whom now letteth will
let, until he be taken out of the way. (Who's "he" here,
does anybody know? The Holy Ghost, He that letteth.)And then shall that Wicked one be revealed,... (When? Just at the time the Holy Ghost
is being taken out, which is fixing to leave right now. What's He
leaving for? Taking the
Church with Him.)... revealed... (Paul speaking under the inspiration.)... whom the Lord shall consume with the
spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (The wicked
one, of course.)Even him,
whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying
wonders,... ("We are the greatest church." "We
have this; we have this. All of you consolidate together." See? "We
are the greatest.")... lying
wonders,
So I can
understand why Wuest saw it the way
he did, and since We know God will not allow the devil to come to full
manifestation until God takes out His bride.
We can read this
as God it is withholding back the force of Satan, but I can also see it based
on what brother Branham is saying that Satan is the one who is withholding or
suppressing the truth and God is allowing, “He that
letting will let” until God manifests His Parousia and takes
away his Elect.
I can see the
argument could go both ways, but it does not change the fact that God is in
Control and will get the Bride out of here before the man of sin will be fully
revealed. And that won’t happen until the spirit of anti Christ is about to
incarnates that evil man of sin. The one thing throughout all of this is that God is in Control, and we should be
thankful for that.
So do not worry
about Russia, God’s prophet told us that before one bomb strikes the earth we
will be in the arms of Christ.
Now, I want
you to place your thinking caps on your head this morning. We know that the
planed pandemic has just about run its course. The Vatican motivated
Globalists, thought they could break the world economies and the US dollar
using the pandemics, but it did not work.
It did weaken the nations, but if you recall, the first time the Pillar
of Fire came for an Exodus, it took ten
I think it is
interesting that brother Branham said every plague Moses called for the
Egyptians magicians made as well, and I do not know if you keep up with the
lunatic UN resolutions, but they are calling for humans to be allowed only 14
grams of meat per day, (about one bite) and then supplement your need for
protein by eating bugs.

The ten plagues of Egypt were 1. Blood in the
water, 2. Frogs out of the water and filled the land, 3. Gnats so many that man
had to cover their faced to breathe. and
then 4. Lice that were so plentiful that it affected mens skin. 5 then flies that brought with it disease, 6. Then
diseased livestock which affected the food supply, 7. Then boils that afflicted
men, and 8. then hail stones that destroyed the infrastructure of Egypt, 9.
then locusts which ate up the rest of the food supplies, and finally 10. darkness and the death of the
firstborn.
Therefore, I
think we do not have time this morning to get into these plagues, but If you
recall the first plague affected the water supplies, blood in the water. The
second plague was frogs and this is a common occurrence when there are large
scale earth quakes. This was immediately after the blood in the water. We see
that plagues affected the water, the air, the skin, and food chain, and
infrastructure of Egypt. And if you read Dueteronomy
28 you will see all those things are part of the curse for rejecting
God, and not putting him first.
So we see
there is much more to come. How many of them come after we are gone, I just do
not know, but I know there are more plagues and diseases coming because the
germ warfare has just begun with the covidsars2. We still know by
Scripture there will be further germ warfare as we are aware of Zechariah 14:12
that tells us men rot in their flesh and brother Branham spoke of this as well.
Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the
LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh
shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall
consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their
mouth.
In the book of Revelations the seven angels have seven vials and each
vial contains a plague or a woe. Brother Branham makes it very clear that the
end time plagues or woes, are not just diseases, but says in his sermon…

smaller tactical weapons. But hydrogen bombs are to end war with a huge
interruption of all life.
3. sickness and 4. diseases, 5. germ warfare... O God, and
everything the way it is, knowing that the Bible said that “man would actually rot in their flesh”... But that
Angel was given commission, "Don't you touch any of those! Don't you come near those who has the
wine and the oil. Don't touch those who has the seal of God upon their forehead." And we
realize that the baptism of the Holy Ghost is the seal of God. For it is
written in Ephesians
4:30 "Grieve not the holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed until the
day of your redemption." Lord God, seal this church tonight.
Those who are wanting the seal of the Holy Spirit, kiss away every fear,
Lord, and seal them with Thy Seal of the Spirit in their hearts, that they'll
come forth as newborn babes, crying, "Abba, Father". Grant it, Lord. I commit them to Thee in the
Name of Jesus, Thy Son.
So we see there are to be many different forms of plagues that are yet to
come, and brother Branham just named a handful of what is coming in that one
quote, but in other quotes he names more.
From his
sermon Israel at the red sea 2 53-0327 P:33 brother
Branham said, Now,
we're coming down to the last plague, last thing. God said, "I'm tired fooling now. I'm going to give the last plague." Now, I want you to notice; the last plague was
death. Now, we've had 6. earthquakes; we've had 7. wars and rumors of wars; we've had 8. tidal waves, as Jesus said would be, the sea a-roaring, 9. man's heart failing, more heart trouble (number one
disease), fear, perplex of time, distress between the nations, horseless
carriages in the broad ways, all these things fulfilled. But the last plague is
10.
death, not physically speaking, but spiritually speaking, death,
spiritually in the church. You notice it was amongst the sons: spiritual death.
The church has got more members than it ever had, thriving better than it ever
did, and yet the weakest in spirit that it ever was. That's true. That's just
like it was in Egypt.
So just
remember, what we have seen with the first plague many people thought, “This is
it” But don’t worry brothers and sisters, these plagues are not for you, they
are for this world in judgment.
Now, I am not
saying we have not seen believers die during these times, but just like
prostate cancer, the doctors say not one person dies from the prostate cancer,
they die with prostate cancer. But they invent treatments like prostate
biopsies that if you have prostate cancer when they take a biopsy. They plunge
that tube up your back side and push the plunger and it sends 12 spikes into
your prostate to take a sample. Then it returns into your rectum where some of
that cancer spreads and now you have it in your colon and then from their your
stomach. That is how brother Vayle died. He had the biopsy and it spread his
prostate cancer into his colon and up to his stomach. And he told me very
emphatically, Never ,never ,ever let them talk you into a prostate biopsy,
it’ll kill you.
It is fear
that is killing the people. But if you have the holy Spirit Paul told us, “God has not given
you a Spirit of Fear of a spirit of love and a sound mind.”
So if you have
friends or acquaintances that have died during this first plague, I do not
believe they died from the plague, I believe many of them died from a panicked
medical profession who did not know how to treat disease.
Western
Medicine is the worst in the world for treating disease, I know first hand when
I came home from a missionary trip 21 years ago with African Sleeping sickness,
and the treatment itself is what almost destroyed my liver. Dr. Kash told me to
get off that stuff immediately, it would kill me. Once I got off that and
zapped myself which is alternative medicine, and used colloidal silver which is
ancient medicine, I was healed. But the
Bible warned us about believing the lies of the Pharmaceutical industry and
called their products sorceries. And said they deceived the whole world with
their sorceries.
So believe God
and live. Enjoy the rest of your life here on earth, for our names are written
in the palm of His Hand and he has even numbered the hairs of our head.
Big Pharmacia
the bible calls sorceries, uses their billions to feed fear into the population
through a bought out media and these scare tactics keep the people from using
common sense. Instead it lures them into their poisoning industry with chemical
treatments that are experimental and change your DNA. So stay away from all of
it.
They want you
to believe that the ancient cures and 7 decade long cures are no longer safe,
and no longer work, but instead they want to sell you their so called miracle
drug which is not a miracle, but a death trap. But medicines that have been
used for 70 years by 3-4 billion people the media tells you are not safe, yet
for 7 decades they have been safely
used. But its all a money grab. And they use their money to buy the
media into calling them conspiracy theories. And it is now being found out in
many countries that many of the political ruling class have financial reasons for pushing these
wrong medical protocols, and so they’ve used their political clout to force
doctors to either submit or lose their jobs.
So this war
with Russia, it is a small thing for now for most of the world, but one day it
will escalate. And remember God raised up Russia to bring vengeance against the
Catholic church who murdered 66 million Christians throughout the ages.
Serpent's seed 58-0928E P:12 That's the
reason God has raised up Russia yonder with an atomic bomb to wipe her off
like the antediluvian flood was, when He raised the clouds. Sure He has,
and the Bible says so. Russia, the atheiotic country that they are (atheistic),
has absolutely playing just exactly in the hands of Almighty God. Just as
King Nebuchadnezzar was to destroy Israel because they failed to walk with God,
Russia's raising right up to avenge the saints of the Catholic church of
the blood that she's shed of the saints.
The Bible said so. It's going to take the whole thing.
We would see Jesus 59-0422
P:41 And Russia, and other places with missiles, atomic bombs
that could strike and blow a hole in the ground a hundred and seventy-five feet
deep for a hundred miles square. And thousands of those... I was in a...
There's a man setting right here now, a Chaplain out of the army, was just a
few weeks ago in Los Angeles where they was talking it over. You can read in
Look Magazine where that great general said, the next war will just be
minutes. Some fanatic's going to blow his top one of these days, as we call
it, and he's going to pull off one of those bombs. And submarines will be
rising up out of the ocean, and other nations where they've got these
atomic missiles planted and there'll be whirling one way, and the other... The
world can't stand it. We're at the end time. We're here at the end.
El Shaddai 59-0416 P:57 Now listen what
Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom..." Oh, let it sink in.
"As it
was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of God." The
Spirit of God in human flesh, in His Church, revealing and making manifest
the sign of the Messiah as He did in that day, as He did in the days of
Christ, as He is at the end of the Gentile dispensation, just a few hours
before the bombs fall, before the world will be destroyed...Great men,
scientists, generals, and so forth, are saying that the next war will only
last about three minutes. Russia's got them timed right for Hollywood and
Vine. He's got them timed for Lakeside Drive in Chicago, and for New York City,
and for everywhere. Them bombs are setting ready. We got it timed right on Moscow
and different places. It just takes one person to make a mistake to pull one of
them off sometime. And what happens? The Bible's fulfilled then.
That's the only thing that's left. Can't you see what God is doing, friends?
Can't you pinch your... not your hands, but pinch your spirit with the Word of
God and believe it.
Sign of the time 58-0520 P:44
By
this time tomorrow night (hear me), there's not a thing, not one thing, that
would keep shipload after shipload, plane load after plane load of Russian soldiers
right out here, grabbing these women, and ravishing them in the street, and
doing what they want to. Come in, and if they like your house, kick you out of
it, and that's it. What are you going to do? Ungodly, barbarous men who doesn't
know nothing about God and cares that much less... You say, "God does
that?" He certainly does, according to His Bible. He has a punishing whip
when His people won't obey. There's not a thing. What would our Pentagon do, if
Russia did such a thing, and say, "Now, surrender, or go to ashes." We'd
have to surrender, only sensible thing to do would be surrender. They're up
there: we can't bring them down. They've got their guns on us. Just about three
or four of them bombs, and that settles the whole thing. Oh, she's all shook
up, brother, sister. The nations that are such a tremendous nervous condition
tonight, till they don't know what to do. A great writer said the other day,
there's one little...?... between the smartest of us and total insanity.
End Time Evangelism 62-0603
P:45 Now, just before
the antediluvian destruction and the flood time, well, we find
out that they had a greater civilization than we have today. I believe that they had control of atomic power.
I think that's what shook the world from its orbit. I've stood in the British
ice fields; dig down five hundred feet, bring out palms, where there used to be
palms there, and many hundreds of years ago. And we're taught and know that the
world stood upright. But--and they had such mechanical and
such science till they could build a pyramid, sphinx, so forth,
that we couldn't reproduce today. We have no machinery to lift those blocks
that far (See?), 'less
it would be atomic; gasoline power won't do it, and electrical
powers won't do it. But it was another age much smarter than our age.
Revelation chapter 4 pt 3
throne mercy 61-0108 P:35 And we found even the city that descends from God
out of heaven... After the earth is exploded and all gone to pieces and
nothing left on the earth but volcanic ashes (That's all will be left.), there'll
be no more sea. The sea will dry up. As I was speaking last night to
someone, or yesterday, in somewhere, the earth once stood up like this, right,
around the sun, equal heat all the way up and down. Up in British ice fields,
you can blast down there five hundred feet and find palms. It come suddenly,
froze them like refrigeration now. Like your dehydrating, and so forth,
and your freeze and deep freezes that keep strawberries and things for years
and years and years to come. See? That's the same way it was in that time.
Quickly there come an antediluvian destruction and flooded the whole earth
over. And when it did, atomic powers rocked it out of its orbits, and it froze
over and there she laid. See? Dig down and can find them, up around the arctic
zones and things, palm trees and so forth. Showed that it was once inhabited,
beautifully set up. And now it's shook back.
Sixth seal the 63-0323 P:103 I could say
something awful good right here, but I guess I'll hold it till tomorrow night.
See? All right.... and have power over the waters to turn them to blood
and to smite the earth with plagues as oft as they will. What is it? What
can bring these things but the Word? They can do nature anyway they want
to. Here it is. They're the one who brings on this Sixth Seal. They
uncover and open it up. It's the power of God to interrupt nature. See, the
Sixth Seal, is completely an interruption of nature. Do you get it now? There's
your Seal. Who does it? It's the prophets the other side of the rapture.
With the power of God, the Word of God, they just condemn nature. They
can send earthquakes, turn the moon into blood, the sun can go down or anything at
their command. Amen.
Revelation chapter 4 pt 2 24
elders 61-0101 P:29 Now, "as it was in the days of Noah," smart men, smart men with their
atomic powers and everything, could build pyramids and sphinx and so forth.
"As it
was in that day, so will it be."
But the work's to be cut short in this
day, 'cause there's to be a raptured people taken out. Like Enoch,
there's to be a people carried over. We're in that class this morning, the
people that's carried over like Noah was through the flood. But remember,
before... Don't forget this. Before one drop of rain fell, before there was one
thing in the sky, before Noah ever--ever had the ark completed, Enoch was taken
home. Enoch was raptured without death, just started walking one day, and--and
he--gravitation lost its hold on him. And he found one foot a little higher,
and the other foot a little higher, and another foot a little higher, and first
thing you know, he said, "Farewell, world," just walked on up into
glory. And when Noah looked around and couldn't find Enoch anywhere, he looked
around, and he didn't know where Enoch went, then he said, "It's time to
get to building the ark now." See? And he went to work on the ark to carry
over the remnant.
God's provided way 53-1201
P:49 Oh, my, too late to pray then. Now, the first thing you know, begin to
look around. I can hear the little boy say, "Daddy, did the Word say that
the elder son was going to be killed in the
home?""Yes.""Well, daddy, what about our home?""Son, we're just
as safe as we can be.""How do you know we are safe?""We've obeyed
God's Word. We got... We're under the blood."I can
hear him say, just a little later, after while, I look out the window, little
boy does, look, there comes two big black wings moving through the air. That's
death. And if there's any time that the black wings is struck the country
today, we've had earthquakes; we've had pestilence; we've had all kinds of
things that could come to this land, and all like they did in Egypt. But the
last plague that hit Egypt before destruction was death. And the last plague
that's hit the church is a spiritual death. Right. That's the last thing.
Let us pray.
