Resurrection
Revelation

John 11: 1 Now
a certain man was sick, named
Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he
abode two days still in the same place where he was. 7 Then
after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into
John 11:19 And
many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that
Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still
in the house. 21 Then said Martha unto Jesus,
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22 But
I know, that even now, whatsoever thou
wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
Now, look I want to stop here and point out that this
woman, Martha had a revelation. She knew that Jesus was the Son of God. But
what she was not aware of was just how Jesus and the Father were co inhabiting
the same body. She wasn’t aware that the fullness of the Godhead, God Himself was
dwelling in Jesus. She saw the humanity, she knew the humanity, and she
understood His obedient relationship He had with His Father, but she was not
aware that God Himself was indwelling His Son.
Brother Branham
explained this relationship in his sermon Total deliverance 59-0712 pp. 55-56 55
Jesus was completely, totally man. He could cry like a man, He could eat like a
man; He could become like a man. He was completely, totally man in His physical
being. And in His Spirit, He was completely, totally God, so He made His flesh submissive to the Spirit
that was IN Him. You see, He was tempted in all manners like we are.
He was man, not an Angel. He was a man. He had desires and temptations just
like we do. The Bible said He did. He was a man, not an Angel above temptation.
Hebrews 1 said that He was...
Hebrews 1:4 said He was made lower than the Angels. He was man, completely man, that God took a complete man to bring
total deliverance; and He filled Him
with His Spirit; the Holy Ghost was in Him without measure. And He was
tempted like we were. And He was
completely God. He proved it when He raised the dead, when He stopped
nature, the roaring seas and the mighty winds. When He spoke to the trees, and
so forth, they obeyed Him. He was God
inside. And He could've been man, for He
was Man, but He totally and completely delivered Himself as a Man into the
hands of God for the service of God. And He is our example.
56
We are men and women. We're also Christians. If He's our example, let us completely deliver ourselves into the hands
of the Holy Ghost, that we might be subjects of the
SHOW US THE FATHER
IT'LL SATISFY
56-0422 E-36 Now, it's many times it's been said that
no man can see God at anytime, the Bible said so. But the only begotten of the
Father has declared Him. Philip, here was very inquisitive; he wanted to see
the Father. Says here He said, "I've been so long with you, Philip, and
you don't know Me?" Said, "When you see Me you see My Father." In
other words, you see the Father express Himself through the Son. Him and the
Father were one in the sense that His Father was dwelling in Him, not Him doing
the works; He was a Son, Himself, the immortal, virgin born, Son of God.
And then in Him was dwelling the God the
Father, expressing Himself to the world, His attitude towards the people.
See? Well, that's how Christ and God were one. God was in Christ reconciling
the world to Himself. Now, He said, "When you see Me, you see the Father,
and why do you say, 'Show us the Father?'
JEHOVAJIREH 56-0429 053 "That's the reason people couldn't understand Him.
Sometime it was Christ speaking... or was the Son speaking. Other times it was
the Father speaking. He was a dual Person. He was one Man, the Son. God
was in, which was tabernacling in Him. But what did He do? Did He go around
saying, "I'm the Healer." Very contrary, He said, "I'm not the
Healer." He said, "It isn't Me that doth the works; it's My Father
that dwelleth in Me." And in Saint John the 19th chapter when He was
questioned for passing a whole bunch of crippled, lame, withered, halt, blind
people, healed one man laying on a pallet, the Father showed Him to go there
and heal. Walked away and left the rest of them laying there, they questioned
Him. A man packing his bed on the sabbath. Listen to what He said.
LET US SEE GOD 131 59-1129 …I said, "He
was more than... God was in Him. He was a man, but He was a dual Person.
One, He was a man; the Spirit in Him was God." I said, "God was in
Christ." She said, "Aw, no." I said, "Look, lady, I'll take
your own Scripture. He was a man, but He was a God-man. When He went down to
the grave of Lazarus, He did weep like a man. That's true. But when He stood
there, straightened His little stooped shoulders up, and said, 'Lazarus, come
forth,' and a dead man, that'd been dead four days come to life again, that was
more than a man. Man couldn't do that. That was God in His Son."
So Martha, like Peter had the correct revelation that
Jesus was the Son of God, but what she did not understand was how God Himself,
the very Father of Jesus was also dwelling in Him at that time. And so let’s
return to our story.
23 Jesus
saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise
again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus
said unto her, (Martha, I don’t
believe that you understand whose talking to you…) I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he
were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She
saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God,
which should come into the world.
Now, let’s skip forward to when Jesus has met Mary along the way, and He
seeing her weep for her brother shows forth His human side, as we pick up at
verse
John 11:32 Then
when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet,
saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and
the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 34 And
said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him,
Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then
said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 37 And
some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have
caused that even this man should not have died? 38 Jesus
therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a
stone lay upon it. 39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that
was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40 Jesus
saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou
wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 41 Then
they took away the stone from the place where the
dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and
said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And
I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I
said it, that they
may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And
when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth. 44 And he that was dead came
forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with
a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him
go. 45 Then many of the Jews which came to
Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
When Jesus met Mary and saw her great sorrow he as a man could not help
but to feel her sorrow and He entered into that sorrow with her. But when he
stepped in front of that Grave, and said “Lazarus come forth”, that was more
than a man, that was God indwelling His Son.
From his sermon Believest thou this? 50-0716 P:83Brother
Branham said, Oh, my. That's it. "I
am the Resurrection and Life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet
shall he live. Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest
thou this?” She said, "Yea, Lord. I believe..."
Look here. "I believe that You are the Son of God,
that You've been said to be that was to come into the world. I
believe what You said You was. What God has done for You, that's the truth. I
believe every Word of it." "Where have you buried Him?"
Oh, my. Here's where a woman told me not long ago, when I was... She said,
"Jesus wasn't the... divine." Said, "He was a good man, a good
teacher, so forth, be good for people to live by that. Just like with Santa
Claus, stories for the children. But," said, "he wasn't divine."
I said, "Oh, yes He was Divine." Said, "No, he wasn't." I
said, "He was." She said, "Look, I can prove it. When He went down
to the grave of Lazarus, He cried like a man." I said, "Yes. I
believe He was more than a man. I
believe He was a God-man. I believe that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. I believe God lived in His son, dwelled in
His Son, and reconciled the world to Himself by His Son." Do you
believe that? I do with all my heart. And He was more than a man. He was God
the Son here on earth. Everything the
Father had was in Him. And I believe that He was more than a man, He was God-man. And when He went down to the
grave, He cried like a man. That's
true. But when He stood there, held Himself and said, told them to take away
the stone, said, 'Lazarus, come forth.'
When He raised the dead, He was more than a man. He was God. He was a man when
He was crying, but He was God when He raised the dead. That's right. Yes, sir,
He was Divine.
And I want for you to notice that before Jesus ever died and was raised
from the dead by God. And there are 18 verses of Scripture that tells us that
God raised Jesus from the dead. Yet, before this ever happened, that Same God
who was indwelling in His son, gave us a preview of things that were to come.
And from his sermon, Sir would we see Jesus 54-1205 P:21 Look
at Jesus at the grave. You don't whether it was a vision or not. He'd seen it
beforehand. He said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou has already heard Me.
But I say this for those who stand by." Then He pulled His little self
together, and with a Voice that spoke out yonder, when corruption knew its
Master... And a man laying there dead, and the stone rolled away, He said,
"Lazarus, come forth." And a man that'd been dead for four days,
stood on his feet and lived again. Oh, He's still Jesus. Certainly He is. He
lives today. And I say it with humility, and knowing that God will judge me. I
have seen practically, not long dead, but I've seen three people pronounced
dead by doctors, laid out and everything, come to life again by the cause of
the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. He's the same yesterday, today, and
forever.
The Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 5: 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou
that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
And the NIV translation read this way, Ephesians 5:14 for it is light
that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O
sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
We see this promise also in ISAIAH 60:1 ¶ Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover
the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee,
and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3And the Gentiles shall come to thy
light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
In examining these words, we must
know first of all who these ones who are sleeping are: Secondly, we will
examine what this means, “Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead:” And, Thirdly, we will examine this
promise that is made to those who do awake and arise: which promise is, that “Christ shall give thee light.”
Now, brother Branham said in his sermon Believest
thou this? 50-0716 P:85 I can see Him walking down through that
place there then, to the grave. Said, "Take ye away the stone." Look
like if He'd have been a gentleman, He'd have took it away Himself. But He
asked them women to. Why? You've got your part to do. Yes, sir. You've got to
do your part. Said, "Take ye away the stone.” And they took away the stone
and the stink was so bad. And they was about to have suffocated there on
account of that, a dead human body. Then I can see Him straighten His little
self up again; said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hearest Me always.
But for these that stand by..." is why I said He'd already seen the
vision. He knew what was going to happen. Then He cried with a loud voice and
screamed, said, "Lazarus, come forth." I believe, brother, if He
hadn't have called him specifically by the name of Lazarus, I believe the
general resurrection would've took place then. That's what I think about Him.
That's right. I believe the resurrection of every dead thing that had ever died
would've come out of the grave if He had just said, "Come forth."
Yes, sir. But He called, "Lazarus, come forth." I'm glad today that
my name's on His Book. "One day He will call too, and I will answer,"
said Job.
And from His sermon Revelation chapter 4 pt 1
60-1231 P:76 The same voice that summoned John,
"Come up," the same voice that said to John, "Come up," is
the same voice that'll summons the church someday (Amen.), summons the church. Also,
the same voice that summoned John to come up, is the same voice that summoned
dead Lazarus out of the grave, that same voice of the archangel. Christ is the
voice of the archangel, "voice of the archangel." See? Oh, that
trumpet voice of Christ summoned John to come up, the same voice summoned
Lazarus. Did you notice at the grave of Lazarus, He spoke with a loud voice.
(Not just said, "Lazarus, come forth." [Brother Branham imitates
weakness--Ed.]) "Lazarus, come forth!" It summoned him from the dead.
And he answered, "Here am I." And he come from the dead, after he was
dead and his body rotten.
Rapture
the 65-1204 P:93 Therefore, the Message calls the Bride
together. See? The shout and the trumpet, the same morning with a loud voice He
screamed out with that shout, and voice and woke Lazarus. With a loud voice He
cried, "Lazarus, come forth." See? And the voice wakes up the sleeping Bride, the sleeping dead. And the
trumpet, with the sound of the trumpet, and when it does, it calls... Always a
trumpet called
Rapture
the 65-1204 P:88 No, it's... The first thing is the
sounding--or the first thing is the trumpet and a--or a voice--a shout, and
then a voice, and then a trumpet. Shout, a messenger getting the people
ready... The second is a voice of the resurrection. The same voice that, a loud
voice in
Rapture
the 65-1204 P:96 One rapture is passed. Three's happened in
the Old Testament of them prepared who the Word of the Lord came to. See? The
Word of the Lord came to Enoch. The Word of the Lord came to Elijah. He was a
prophet. See? The Word of the Lord was Jesus. See? Watch in the Old Testament,
them Old Testament saints now when this rapture first taken place. Notice verse
50: His loud voice awakened the Old Testament saints just exactly like the loud
voice wakened Jesus--or wakened Lazarus. See? The loud voice awakened. And the
second is fulfilled in II Thessalonians the 4th chapter. Let's just take a
read--read... We just read it a few minutes ago. See? "I would not have
you ignorant, brethren, concerning those that sleep, that you sorrow not,
even..." That's I Thessalonians 4:12-18. That--that will be the second
rapture. The second rapture will be the catching away of the Bride.
Ephesians
5: 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou
that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Who are these sleepers spoken
of here. By sleep is signified the natural state of man; that deep sleep of the
soul, into which the sinful nature lays dormant; that laziness of spirit, and
stupidity, that insensibility of your real condition, in which every man comes
into the world, and continues till the voice of God awakes him.
MATTHEW 25:1 ¶
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took
their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were
wise, and five [were] foolish. 3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and
took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their
lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at
midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet
him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish
said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the
wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but
go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom
came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door
was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to
us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of
man cometh.
Jesus tells us that two sets
of virgins are awakened. No one else but these two different groups who are
both virgins. One happens to be wise and have not only the Word of God, but
they also have revelation on that Word. The other group has the same lamp, or
the same word, but have no clue how to use it for they have no oil.
Now, we found that the state
or nature of those who sleep through this midnight cry, are those who are in a
state of utter darkness; a state wherein “darkness covers the earth, and gross darkness the people.” As we pointed out last night, These
poor unawakened people, (sinners) have no knowledge of themselves, although
they may have much knowledge of other things:
Because the knowledge of
ourselves comes from the knowledge we receive in Knowing God. In Colossians 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear,
then shall ye also appear with him in glory. This tells us that When Christ Manifests in His true character we shall
do the same. Again we see in 1 John 3: 1-2 the same thing. 1b ¶ therefore the
world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.The world can never
know themselves because they can never know Him. If you do not see the correct
understanding of the Godhead, you will never really know who you are, you can't
know who you are. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it
doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear,
we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
It is the seeing Him as He really is that
allows us to see who we are.
Now that we understand who this is that
Paul admonishes to awake, and who it is that will never awake, let's move on to
the next thought. “Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise up from those who are
among the dead ”
In other words, don't stay there in your
stupor. Don't just lie there. I admit that he told us all that is left for the
bride is to lay in the presence of the sun to ripen. Yes, he did say to lay in
the presence of the Son, But if you lay in the presence of the Son
to ripen and fall asleep, you are going to get burned. “Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise up from those who are
among the dead ” Notice, he never said, awake thou that sleepest and
continue to lay there. He said, awake and get up, arise and get out from among
the dead, those who are still asleep.
In I
CORINTHIANS 15:34 Paul said, Awake to
righteousness, and sin not (and
disbelieve no longer); for some have not the
knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame.
Notice Paul tells us we have a purpose in
being awakened, and that is we are to awaken to righteousness. Awaken to
right-wise-ness. Awaken to the Light.
ROMANS 13:11 ¶ And
that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep:
for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is
far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of
darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly,
as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and
wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].
David said, PSALMS
17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face
in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
Notice the words of ISAIAH 60:1 ¶ Arise, shine; for thy light is come,
and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
"Arise and shine", that sounds like a wakeup call. ¶ Arise, shine;
for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For,
behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the
LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light,
and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
There is the answer, that is why we are to
awaken, and get up. It is that the Lord might show forth His glory in us.
Now, if we look closer at this word arise,
it is a command to come forth. This is a resurrection command, the same command Jesus gave to Lazarus when
He called him forth from among the dead.
A person that only wants to lay in bed will never accomplish anything,
and in fact will have a tendency to be poor all his life.
PROVERBS 6:9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when
wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 [Yet] a little sleep, a
little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an
armed man.
Notice in the Book of MALACHI 4:2 we find the Son of Righteousness arise
first and then goes forth to do. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun
of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and
grow up as calves of the stall.
“Awake, thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light;”
Notice there are three things Paul speaks of here.
#1) Awake Thou that
sleepest. First of all we have defined who it is that sleeps.
They are those who are spiritually dead. Those whose spiritual senses are
lacking. Thos who can not exercise there spiritual senses. They have eyes, yet
they can not see, they have ears and yet they do not hear, they have feeling
and ye they can not feel the warming of the spirit of God, they have a tongue
and yet they can not taste and see that the Lord is good. These are those who ony dream they are eating
and yet when they wake up to everlasting condemnation will only know to well
they did not eat, nor did they drink but they only imagined it taking place,
but they never really did eat nor drink.
ISAIAH 29:8 It shall even be as when an hungry [man]
dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as
when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and,
behold, [he is] faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of
all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion. (the Elect)
FUTURE HOME 64-0802 52-3 the daughter of
So we see that those who sleep only dream
that they are eating and only dream that they drink but when they shall awake
at the 2nd resurrection and face the white throne judgment they will
come to know that it was only a dream to them and they did not eat and they did
not drink, and thus they were not filled.
#2) Awake Thou that Sleepest. There is a
call to Awake, a call to come forth from among the dead, a call to come out
from among a the spiritually dead, those who sleep. We have studied who that
group of sleeping people are and have found that only the wise and foolish
virgins awoke and arose when that call came forth to come out to meet him. To
come out from among them and I will be not only God to you, but your Father as
well.
II CORINTHIANS 6:16 And what agreement hath the
Now, God is God to all whether they be
angels or man, and yet it is clear here that only those who have heard this
cry, the midnight cry to come out from among the dead, the cry to come out from
among those who are sleep, only they who hear is He their God and only they who
come out will be the true sons and daughters of God.
MARK 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God
of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. How can those who are dead worship, they can't worship, their senses
are dead. And by definition God is an object, And then if they can not worship
they are dead, and God is not God to them.
He says come out my children, come out to
your Father. 17 Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I
will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
ISAIAH 60:1 ¶ Arise, shine; for thy
light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. ( While the
world is in darkness, I have come to shine forth my doxa in you, II THESSALONIANS 1:10
When he shall
come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe
(because our testimony among you was believed ) in that day.)
ISAIAH 60:1 ¶ Arise, shine; for thy
light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness
shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall
arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3And the Gentiles
shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
#3) Therefore we come to the main point
Paul is making here, Awake, thou that sleepest, and
arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light;” Point number
three is that the whole purpose of awakening from among those who are asleep is
to receive the Light,
and this Light contains the Life of God.
JOHN 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light
of men. 5 ¶ And
the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
JOHN 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is
come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
deeds were evil. 20 For every one that
doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should
be reproved. 21 But he that doeth
truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are
wrought in God.
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.
Now, light is energy, and the the light
gives energy to the believer.
I CORINTHIANS 12:6 And there are diversities of operations,
but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
I CORINTHIANS 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the
selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

JAMES 5:16 Confess [your] faults one to another, and

prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
PHILEMON 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may
