The
End-Time Depression Judgment Pt. 2
Brian Kocourek
Last
week we spoke on the End-Time Depression judgment that is to come upon the
whole world. Tonight I would like to continue with that message.
We began by reading the
following quotation From PP. 100 of the Message JEZEBEL RELIGION 61-0319, brother Branham said, When God sends forth
a message and tells the people, and they don't receive it, then He withdraws
His servant and sends His plagues: famine, death, spiritually speaking,
physically also. You watch for a
depression, brother. You think you've seen something; you just wait after
while. You haven't seen nothing. You think
you're dying for a good spiritual revival; you wait till after a bit. You just
wait, long and cry to hear the Word of God. The Bible said so. "There'll
be a famine in the last days," said the prophet, "and not for bread
and water alone, but for hearing the true Word of God." But that voice
will be quiet in the wilderness somewhere, hid away. He ordained the ravens, His servants. Bless
them birds, His servants, that kept the voice of--of Elijah alive during the
time of his--his isolation from the church.
We
then took the Scriptures to Daniel and laid out this scene as it was prophesied
to take place at the end time.
We also showed you this
great deception in 2 Thess 2:3-13 and Daniel 11& 12
87-4 HEBREWS CHAPTER
3 57-0901M
18-7 THIS DAY THIS
SCRIPTURE 65-0219 We had a great
nation; but she is now rottening and crumbling and shaking and giving away, and
trying to tax people to get money to send over yonder to buy friendship with our
enemies. They're throwing it back in our face. One world war, two world wars, and still moving on to a third one.
Certainly. Politics is rotten, corrupted, rotten to the bottom.
Now, we know that the
But we know the Jews hold
the paper, but the paper is becoming worthless. But who holds the gold? That is
the key, right there and we know
The problem is that our
entire world economy is based on a paper house that is soon to tumble. Oneness 62-0211 48 031 The
whole world's based on that. The whole
economy of this nation is based upon false conception.
The Supernatural 56-0129
E-37 037 Brother and sister, our great
First Seal {349} And after
the church is taken away,
{350} We can't call
it in. And if we could do it, do you think these whiskey guys and all these
tobacco people with billions times billions of dollars a year and write off all
their income tax for old vulgar pictures and things like that, go out in
Arizona there and buy millions of acres of land--or thousands--and dig them big
wells at fifty thousand dollars and pay it off with income tax? And they'd put
you in jail if you don't pay yours. But they write it off and throw up wells
and send bulldozers in. And what do
they do? They put housing projects in there, and the next turn around with
their money they made (they have got to make an investment) and put houses,
projects in there and sell them for millions of dollars. Do you think them guys is going to compromise to change the currency?
{352} Like this fellow down here, Castro did. He
done the only smart thing he ever did do then, when he destroyed the bonds:
paid them off and destroyed them. Notice, but we can't do that. These guys
won't let us. The rich merchants of the earth hold it, and then there's only
one thing to do: The Catholic church can
pay it off. She's the only one that's got the money; she can do it, and she
will do it. And in doing this to get
it, she'll compromise with the Jews and make a covenant, and when she makes
this covenant with the Jews... Now, remember, I'm taking this from the
Scriptures. And now, when she does this and makes this covenant, we notice in
Daniel 8:23 and 25 he will cause craft to prosper (And craft is
manufacturing.), in his hand.
{354} And he makes
this covenant with the Jews, and in the midst of this three and a half years,
he breaks his covenant as soon as he gets the thing wrapped up and gets the
money of the Jews tied up. And when he does that, oh, my, oh, my, he's
called the antichrist until the end of the church age, for he and his children
are against Christ and the Word. This man's called the antichrist. Now, he's going
to hold the money. And that's where I think he'll come in. Just a minute, while
I say this, then I want to go back to it in a minute. He's called the antichrist and will be called
the antichrist in the sight of God until the end time. Now, but then he'll be
called something else. {359} Now, when
he gets the money all under control, then he'll break this covenant with the
Jews, as Daniel here said he would do it, in the midst of the last half of the
seventy weeks of Daniel.
And then, brother, what will he do? He will have all of the world trade and the commerce, a pact with the
world, 'cause he'll hold the wealth of the world completely. And during that time, them two prophets will
rise on the scene and call that hundred and forty-four thousand. Then what'll
take place? Then the mark of the beast
of Revelations 13 will set in, 'cause he holds all the commerce, trade and
everything of the world. And what will take place then? The mark of the beast
will come in that no man can buy or sell except him that has the mark of the
beast. Thank God, the Church will be enjoying a great three and a half years in
glory. Don't have to go through that.
E-26 026 You
see, if Satan has a kingdom, he's got to have a false economy. He's got to have something that he can present to
them to make them think they are living. But it's absolutely on the vice versa
side. It's death in the form of life.
57-1 STATURE OF A
PERFECT MAN 62-1014M this present government now is spending
money for what? For tax money that they'll be collecting forty years from now.
She's done. That's "Life Line" right out of
313-2
For example, right now unless the local ministerial
association approves in many, if not most cities, one cannot rent a building
for religious services. To become chaplains in the armed services, hospitals,
etc., it is now almost mandatory to be recognized as acceptable to the
trinitarian ecumenical groups. As this pressure increases, and it will, it will
be harder to resist, for to resist is to lose privilege. And so many will be
tempted to go along, for they will feel it is better to serve God publicly in
the framework of this organization than not to serve God at all publicly. But
they err. To believe the devil's lie is to serve Satan, even though you may
want to call him Jehovah. But the elect will not be deceived. Furthermore, the elect will not only be kept,
but as this move becomes the "Inage erected to the beast," the saints
will be gone in the rapture. And this little delightful, winsome movement that
started out in fellowship at
Falling Apart of
the World 62-1216 108 084 Now,
anything that pulls you away from That is wrong; that's a false messiah, a
false anointing. Oh, he said, "The brother had such anointing." What
kind of anointing? That's it. Hitler had an anointing too. Khrushchev's got one also. Pope Pius has one also. What
kind of anointing you got? If it's not anointed with this Word
and vindicate every Word to be Truth, leave it alone: wrong. If it don't produce itself, then it isn't germitized. It'll
show its color. Oh, say, "But That was for another age. We..." Leave
that thing alone. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Yes,
sir. So when this world falls apart, we are born into a Kingdom that cannot
fall apart. You believe the world is falling apart?
Its systems are
falling apart. Do you believe that? Do you believe the economical
system's falling apart? The political system's falling apart. The national,
U.N. system is falling apart. The church is falling apart. The denominations are falling apart. Everything is falling apart. But we got a Kingdom that cannot be
moved; It's a eternal
Christ is the Mystery
63-0728 60-3 192. You can have all the ecumenical moves you want to and all
the affiliations. And they're going to bring a persecution on pretty soon and shut up all the churches. You see
that. And churches like this who's not
in denominations, they'll use them for storehouses then. And if any man
goes and offer a prayer for anybody else that don't belong to the economical
movement will be shot on the spot. It's already. That Lutheran minister, the
head of it, said so. It's right here. You can read it right here in your
magazines.
Divine Healing 54-1219M
210 073 Acts 3:19-21 And he shall
send Jesus... which was before preached unto you: Whom the heavens must receive, until the time
of restoration of all things, which
God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world begin.
21st verse of the 3rd chapter, "All the restorations of all things,"
when there'll be a new heavens, a new earth, a new government, a new economy
(oh, my), a new king, a new life, a new beginning with no ending (oh, my), a
new age, a new time, a new people.
Christ is the Mystery 63-0728

like Lucifer's main hold at

Invasion of the
Hear Ye Him 58-0328
E-18 018 They've
never had a juvenile delinquency among the Mennonite people. They've never had
any rock-and-roll teen-age stuff among the Mennonite people. And if they can
produce a crop like that without our modern education, God be with them is my
prayer. I'd rather have my boy in something like that and not even know his
ABC's. I'd rather he'd know Christ, and be borned again, and not know the
difference between split beans and coffee. Right. We need the old fashion
Gospel preached again in the power and the demonstrations of the Holy Ghost. When our nation gets to a place that it
robs us of our constitution, it shows that communist has rottened it to the
core. Exactly right.
First we go this patriot act
that took away constitutional rights of the citizens. And now the Government is
buying up the banks and Insurance companies, all in a guise to protect Us from
ourselves. Brother Branham predicted this nation would go communist and here it
is in all the papers. The word is interpreted by the manifestation thereof.
Q&A 59-0628E 387-124-073 And
now, that church was taken up, and the remnant of the woman's seed who keep the
commandments of God and have faith in Jesus Christ (See?), not the bride, the
remnant of the woman's seed... Then the dragon spurted water out of his mouth
to make war with the remnant of the seed. That's when the Protestant church
under the Federation of Churches, which is the image to the beast, which is now
being formed... And there'll be a
boycott upon all churches like this. Like we're in a great tax gathering
right here now, a dispute, trying to say that we're not a church, and we got
Constitutional rights to say that we are a church. As long as the Constitution
stands there, no amendment to that, then we absolutely have the rights, just as
much right as anybody. Our forefathers stood for that. But what have we done?
We've broke every Constitutional law that they can break, and soon the
Federation of Churches, which all the churches and denominations are invited
into, and the Devil's got in and making worldliness and everything in local
church members and so forth like that, and great congregations, and class, and
society, when the little old church is still down yonder being born again in a
mess like any birth is, still paying the price, still getting down and dying
out, acting the same way they did when they first got born at the day of
Pentecost, same kind of a church down there... They'll be closed and shut out
under the Federation of Churches. It'll be a boycott like a union or something.
You'll either come in or you'll go out.
074 The mark of the beast is on today, and the Seal of God is the Holy Spirit. To
reject It is the mark of the beast.
Ever who sees the Holy Ghost, that you're supposed to receive It, and
don't do it, automatically you take the mark of the beast; because there's only
two classes to exist: all that didn't have the Seal of God had the mark of the
beast. So to receive the Seal of God is to receive the Holy Ghost. To reject It
is to have the mark of the beast. There's the whole thing. That's exactly
right.
The Comforter 61-1001E
73 032 We are all
American; I think so, in--in the--the church tonight. We're all American
citizens. We're thankful to be American. But yet, what happened to our American
heritage. What was it? We begin to compromise. And as soon as we compromised,
we lost the sacredness of our heritage, because we compromised. We run Presidents four times; that breaks
down the constitution. And we do things today. And we even... To this
little parking meter we have on the street, that's unconstitutional. There's no
such a thing in the constitution. It's against the constitution, yet we do it.
And we do all kinds of things that's
against the principles that this nation was founded upon. We do everything contrary, so we lose our
heritage. Because why? We compromise upon the principles that it was based
upon.
Trumpet Gives an Uncertain Sound 63-0114 E-21
021 We use to could put a lot of
confidence in our democracy, and which I do think it's the best form of
government. But still, our democracy is shaky, because we are... This nation,
our people, we have a constitution and this constitution is--is our ultimate.
But yet in that, our constitution is
shaky because it's already been broken many times. The late Mr. Roosevelt made havoc out of it. So, see, you see it
can be broken. It's not much confidence you can put into it. Politics, oh, my,
how shaky... People just argue, and argue, and argue about politics. And
neighbors will fall out about it, and people that were once good friends...
Some president will raise up, or somebody run for the sheriff, or something,
and the other fellow on the other side of the political fence, and they'll fuss
with one another until they fall out about it. Politics... And I don't... I
hope I don't hurt anybody's feelings, but I think the whole thing's rotten.
Yes, sir. So why would you fuss and fall out about something that ain't no good
anyhow? That's right. It's just awful bad.
Why? 63-0626 84 037 I
wonder tonight, if Christ would come on the scene, or over the nation today, in
drawing this nation to judgment, if that same question wouldn't been asked. Why
is it, is it? Why is it we're doing these things? Why are we fussing in the
government, whether we should read the Bible in public, and, why, if we're
reading all this nonsense? Did not our forefathers set this constitution in
order? Did not this nation be born upon the principles of the Bible? Aren't we
here for freedom of religion, to act in God the way we feel fit to act, the way
that we are convinced is truth? But, you see, we have done something like they
did then. We're just letting everything, politics swallow us up, in the stead
of respecting our faith in our God, and men who has stood for truth. And we are
letting our politics run over that, and voting in such stuff that's polluting
this nation, and why, we are coming to a judgment. God will rise on the scene
someday with a mighty prophet, speak in this generation, and--and tell people,
and they'll see that it's God speaking, but they won't repent. It'll be just
like it was then. He said, "Is there no God in
Now, we wonder that tonight. Why? Is there no Bible? Is
there no God? Is there no difference? If God is going to bring the people to
judgment, He has got to have something to judge them by. There's got to be some
standard. If He's going to judge them by the Catholic church; then if they
judge them by the Roman church, the Greek church is lost, the other Catholic
churches are lost. If He judged it by the Greek, the Roman's lost. If He judged
it by the Lutheran, the Methodist is lost. If He judged it by the Methodist,
the Lutheran's lost. He can't judge it by a church; there's too many different
organizations of it. But God will judge the world, He said, by Jesus Christ.
And Jesus Christ is the Word, and the Word is God. And He'll judge them by this
Bible, for this is the Word. That is God's Standard. We must measure up to what
the Bible says. And we wonder why we got so much confusion, so many
organizations, so much differences, separating brotherhood, and--and
everything. It's because there is no Balm in

they wouldn't perish. If
And the church has
turned from God to that, to the seminary, and experience, and so forth, instead
of the Word. Don't even recognize Him in their meetings, in their schools, or
nothing anymore.
What Hearest Thou? 59-0609
E-16 016 And we
wonder sometimes when we preached, and prayed, and fasted, and cried, and then
seen the results of a revival. Then to see the wicked cities just turn their
back and make fun of it. Newspapers blast it as fanaticism. Don't think it's
strange, because it's happened all through the ages. Go away and say some great
vulgar name about them, or call them some kind of a name that they should not
be called. Just something to make light of the works of God. So the reason I
say this, that men and women who believe God, and has seen the working of God;
and we wonder why Chicago don't have a revival; that's the answer.

ROMANS 7: 1 ¶ Know ye not,
brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath
dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which
hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but
if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband. :3 So then if, while
[her] husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an
adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she
is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become
dead to the law by the body of Christ; that
ye should be married to another, [even]
to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto
God.
Paul is telling us the law
that governs the marriage contract is the same law which governs God and His
People. Paul said,
(2) For the woman
which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he
liveth. 3 So
then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall
be called an adulteress:
Therefore, if she be called
an adulterous, there is also a law that deals with the punishment of an
adulterous woman. And since
To begin this study, we must
examine this covenant between God and this nation. This covenant that I am
talking about is not the Constitution of the
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become
dead to the law by the body of Christ; that
ye should be married to another, [even]
to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto

their desire for this Nation to be divorced from the King of England and his
form of government and to come under the ruler-ship and governance and
authority of God’s law.

or the right of the people peaceably to

AMENDMENT II A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a
Let’s first begin now to
look into God’s Word to see what God thinks of adultery. When He gave the 10 commandments in Exodus
20, the sixth commandment He gave to man was “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
Now, I do not think it is a strange thing that this is the sixth
commandment when the number 6 is the number of man for man was created on the
sixth day of Creation. And man is now
ending the first six thousand years of his existence here on earth, in which we
know that a thousand years to man is but a day to God. Therefore, he that was
created on the sixth day also had six days to live out his time here and it is
then fitting that the destruction of man will come at the end of the sixth day.
In Leviticus 20:10 God said, “And the man that committeth adultery with [another] man's
wife, [even he] that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall
surely be put to death.
Therefore we see by the Word
of God, that death is the punishment for adultery.
PROVERBS 6:32 [But] Whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth
it destroyeth his own soul. Therefore, there
must first be a spiritual death take place first where a person loses any
understanding they might have had.
PROVERBS 30:20 Such
[is] the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and
saith, I have done no wickedness.
EZEKIEL 16:32 [But
as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which] taketh strangers instead of her
husband!
REVELATION 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit
adultery with her into great tribulation,
except they repent of their deeds.
Therefore we see tribulation
and death are her punishment.
II PETER 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from
sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous
practices; cursed children:
Therefore the curse is upon
them.
MARK 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words
in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be
ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
JAMES 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a
friend of the world is the enemy of God.
E-62 CONFIRMATION AND
EVIDENCE 62-0621E Now, let me tell
you, friend. That God of Moses Who could take them in the ark, could take them
away from them walls. And if God by instinct in a bird, could call it from
danger, how much more ought it to call
human beings, who are inspired by the Holy Ghost? What an evil thing. What an
adulterous generation. What an evil place that we're living in. What a sinful,
ungodly nation that we have: God forsaken, God-hating, sign seekers, bandwagon riders, impersonators, carnal
comparisons. Led up with a bunch of nothing, coming to the end of the road. I
speak that in the Name of the Lord. Once more I'll call. It's up to you to
answer. All right.
135 PRESENCE OF GOD UNRECOGNIZED 64-0618 Like in the days of
Jesus, same thing. Watch Him standing here now. He said, "As it was in the
days of Jonas, in Jonah; for as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days
and nights, so must the Son of man."
He said, "A wicked and an adulterous generation will seek after a
sign." Now, you know what I think He was doing? He was prophesying,
"A wicked and adulterous generation..." I wonder if any man in his
right mind could deny that we are not living in a weak and an adulterous
generation, when homosexuals, perversion. And the divorce rates in
E-31 BELIEVEST THOU THIS 53-0906A. God always makes a preparation for things. Don't you
believe that? I want you to listen close. I believe today with all my heart...
Now, this is just Brother Branham speaking. You see? I believe that the things that you see are taking place now, is a
preparation. God is preparing something just before a climax. God always
warns the world, and then if they won't--will not receive warning, then there's
only one thing left; that's judgment.
Noah warned the world, and they would not receive it. And all through
the age, God's always warned. He sends mercy, and if they spurn mercy, there's
nothing else left but judgment. But the merciful Father will send mercy first.
E-33 PREPARATION 53-1111 Now, God in His preparation. Back when God
was going to destroy the world. Before He destroyed the world, He sent forth a
preparation for the saving of the people that desired to be saved. He always
does it. He shows mercy before judgment.
And if men spurn mercy, there's only one thing left and that is
judgment. And God don't judge you; you judge yourself. That's true.
As long as you're under this spray of blood that's around
the world, you have a--a right for mercy. God's... The Blood of Christ keeps
God from killing you, or He'd kill you just as soon as you sinned. But that's
still holding God from you, from your death.
But when... You're a free moral agent now. But when you die and your
spirit goes beyond that, then your already judged. You don't have to wait for
judgment; you're judged already. God done said, "The day you eat thereof,
the day you die." And that settles it
Notice,
He said, god doesn't judge you, you judge yourself. And how do we do that? By
reaping what we sow. And what does that have to do with an End-Time depression
Judgment? It has all to do with it.
If
we examine the Book of 2 Laws, Deuter-onomy we
shall see the law of blessing and cursing.
In this book, especially chapter 28 we see that if we pay attention to
and obey the Word of God, His Law, we shall be blessed so much that the
blessings will come upon us and overtake us. This is like in a race where you
are not aware that the one coming up behind you has a greater speed than you
have and by the time you are aware that he has come upon you, he is already
surpassing you and has taken over the lead in your race.
DEUTERONOMY 28:1 ¶ And
it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of
the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all his commandments which I
command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all
nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on
thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD
thy God.
But
what if you don't hearken to the Voice of the Lord your God, then what? Then
the opposite will take place as we see in verse , and this is the curse.
DEUTERONOMY 28:15 ¶ But
it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD
thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I
command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and
overtake thee:
Now,
if you will observe closely to what God is telling them in the book of
Deuteronomy, He is saying that what is a blessing becomes a curse depending on
your response to God's Word, and the blessings and cursing come in two major
arena's of life. These deal with economic blessings and cursings, or else

Now,
compare the blessings of health and good economics to the cursing which deal
with poor health and poor economy. It is one thing for God to bless you with
good health. He can say your health will be good. But when he curses you with
poor health He gets very specific and names the different plagues and diseases
that will come upon those under the curse.
55 RESPECTS 61-1015E Let's
take Noah for a moment. Now, Noah had a revelation from God, yet it was contrary
to anything that science would prove to be true. But yet he had spoke to God,
and God had spake to him. And he went about preparing an ark, where the
scoffers and mockers (as the Bible said that they would be in the last days
like they was in them days), that those scoffers scoffed at Noah. Why, they
thought that he was out of his head because he was building an ark. So but God
brought judgment upon them scoffers because they would not listen to the
messenger of God and come into that ark under his preaching, then God sent His
Divine judgments on the earth. First He made a preparation for all
who would receive it, to escape it, and then if they did not escape it, there's
only one thing left. If they won't take God's preparation of escape, then
there's only one thing left, that's Divine judgment.
E-17 WHY 62-0622E When God makes a way of escape for the
people, and the people refuse that escape, then God asks the question,
"Why?" I think He has a right to. If God does all that He can for the
people, and the people refuse to receive His help, then He has a right to ask
why they didn't do it. I believe it'll be that way at the judgment. When God
has made every preparation that could be made for the church and for the people
and then they refuse it, God's going to ask us why we didn't receive it. I
believe that.
71 LOOKING UNTO JESUS 64- We find out here, there was another man looked by the name
of Noah. He looked and saw the just judgment of God upon a wicked Word-denying
generation, was being poured out. In his vision, as Noah was a prophet, God had
give him a vision of how to build the ark, and instructed him how to make the
construction, how it must be built. In this, how could Noah, unless this vision
being the Word of God, when he seen this wrath and making a way of
preparation... Always, before coming judgment, there is a
preparation made. It always is the Word of God.
