Unveiling of God no 187

The Capstone Ministry

December 13^th, 2020

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

This morning I would like to speak from two paragraphs we read some time way back in this series and I would like to bring out a thought here on the Capstone which is the holy Spirit in our midst. And I want to examine how the Holy Spirit that lived itself out in the first born son, is also living itself out in this hour in sons, and The Spirit of Christ is thus capping of his building, which is his body, which is His Elect sons.

From his sermon the Unveiling of God 64-0614M P:61 brother Branham said, “You remember He returned then to Paul after that, and to Peter in the prison, as the Pillar of Fire. You remember that? But in the last days He's supposed to return again, but a Pillar of Fire is supposed to come back again to manifest the Son of man (See?), to show the Word, the Light. The traditions that's been will be wiped away. There's nothing going to bother it; it's going to be done anyhow. God just tear them denominations and traditions down. What kind of a Spirit will He do with it? Like He did in the first place. Look what He done in the days of Elijah, in the days of John. "Don't you think to say within yourself you have Abraham to the father, 'cause God's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham." See? Don't you think, "'Cause I belong to this and I belong to that." See? God tearing off the veil (See?) to show Who He is... See, watch the veil when it rents here now. We find out.

And then from The Unveiling of God 64-0614M P:38 For His acts He changes His form. Then He came the form of Son of man. For the reformers' age, Wesley, Luther, and all down through the... Then we find out that they got it so bundled up, just like the Israelites did, till when He does appear in the last days in the Pentecostal age as the Holy Spirit, they rejected It. They did the same thing Israel did. And what does He do now? Return as Son of man. And then from that, Son of David. See how close we are? Son of man, Son of David, Son of God. He's revealed in the last days as Son of man according to Malachi 4, all the rest of the prophecies pertaining to this hour. No more dealing with the church after He... They put Him out; on the outside, knocking at the door. Some predestinated seed in there yet, He must get to them.

Notice the church has put him out. How? As Son of Man, prophet. They reject the prophet who comes with the Word. Just as Jesus came as Son of Man to His people, Prophet, sign of Messiah. When Jesus performed the sign of Messiah, the woman at the well said, “Sir, I perceive you are a prophet. We know that when Messiah comes He will show us these things…” And he said, “I am He that speaketh to you right now.”

So this woman who represented the church, because the church is always represented in Scripture as a woman, and notice she was a harlot, living with her sixth husband who was not exactly a husband, just a live in partner. So this woman was a harlot and she represented the condition of the church in that hour. And since Alpha has repeated in this Omega hour, we see the same condition of the church when the son of man came again in this hour and used a prophet just like Christ, the Holy Spirit used the vessel of His son in the alpha so he used the vessel of another son in this hour to project Son of Man through the sign of Messiah.

But the church rejects him in this hour. The Word stands outside knowing, the midnight shout is to come out and meet him, the Word, He is standing on the outside of the church.

Now, from his sermon Seventy weeks of Daniel 61-0806 P:70 Brother Branham says, “Now, then after that age lived by, the Wesleyan age, come in the Pentecostal age with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. See, you're shaping up all the time. Now, remember, that Headstone wasn't on it yet, Why? They shaped the church just exactly, or the pyramid in shape to fit the headstone, but the headstone never did come. Oh, you see where I'm at don't you. Now, the ministry from Luther until the ending of Pentecost in that little bitty minority up here... That's the reason the light almost goes out in this age there on the calendar, on the chart. It's the Pentecostal age, the Pentecostal, not the Pentecostal denominations, 'cause they done just exactly like the Laodicean (They are Laodicean)--they did like the Nicolaitanes: organized. But the true church all over the world has shaped down to a place that there's come a ministry among them just exactly like the ministry of Jesus Christ. Now, what they got? They got the thing in condition. Now, what's the next thing? This rejected Stone to the pyramid, cut out of the mountain without what? Without hands. God sent It. Do you see it? The rejected One, the rejected Stone is the head of the, is the head, the Capstone. And the very One that they've rejected through this Gentile age is Christ. And Christ was not cut and put in here as a vicar, or son of God, or some great dignitary in the church. He's the Holy Spirit. And the cap of the pyramid will be Christ coming. Do you see it?

Seventy weeks of Daniel 61-0806 P:71 Now, because that they're in shape... See where I've got this shaped here like the pyramid? The arising of the saints makes the march into glory. You understand it now? Christ the Headstone, the rejected Stone, the all-seeing Eye, coming exactly like the Bible said...

Now, call it what you will, but this is the Parousia of Christ he is talking about here. This is Presence of Christ he’s talking about here. And what does he say about it? That is what they reject. The Capstone, the head of the bride church, that which is to cap off the pyramid, has come down and they have rejected the very sign He gave us at the time of the corner stone which was laid, and now that very same Holy Spirit Presence that was in the Son of God came down in this hour to cap his church, and they have rejected it.

That is why I hit so hard about staying away from this YouTube ministers. They are all Trinitarian false prophets, and they have one job and that is to take you away from the capstone teaching of His Presence here vindicated by the sign of Messiah.

Br. Branham continues, “And Daniel said he watched this Gentile age until the Stone come out of the mountain that wasn't cut with hands. They had never put a capstone on that pyramid. It wasn't cut by man's hands. It's God's hands that cut the Stone. You see it? And what did It do? It hit the image right smack in the feet, and broke it to pieces, ground it into powder. Hallelujah. What happened at that time, the coming of that Stone? Up went the church into glory at the rapture, 'cause it ended the Gentile dispensation. God ended it up, the coming of that Stone.

Now, I know that many people see that as a physical stone, like a meteor or some big comet, but I want you to open your eyes. That stone has already come. He is the stone that the builder rejected and the corner has become the head stone. The same Holy Spirit in the alpha that was rejected is here and he’s been rejected as the head stone, the Cap stone. And it’s this cap stone ministry of God which has come down to become the Spiritual head of His Church.

Brother Branham said in his sermon Manifested sons of God 60-0518 P:27 “It's built right up like this to a point. And the stone on the capstone never was found. They never did put a cap on top of the pyramid. I don't know whether you know it or not. The big pyramid of Egypt, it never had a top stone on it. Why? The Capstone was rejected, Christ, the Headstone (See?), was rejected. But as we grow from the Lutheran age, Baptist age, Methodist age, Pentecostal age, we're right up to the Capping Stone now (See?), waiting and longing for that Capping Stone to set down; the building's complete. Have not you read in the Scripture, "the stone was rejected." 'Course, we realize that was talking to the Solomon's temple. "But the rejected Stone has become the Chief of the corner." But I'm saying this only to make a picture to you. Now, and in the Bible, we're living in the last days, the top of the pyramid, the crossed fishes of the cancer age in the zodiac, in the time of the coming of the Leo the lion, in the capping Stone, and in the days of the manifestation of the sons of God in the Bible. See? See where we're at? We're right at the end time.

So brothers it is a spiritual Stone, because it is not cut out with hands, it sis God, he is the Rock of Ages, and our fortress in times of trouble. And when he came down (His parousia) laid out everything, and exposed everything, and crushed the power that every kingdom held over its people. And He which began the work I you is here performing it. “It is God that is working in you both to will and then to do His Good pleasure.”

The same Rock that followed the children of Israel in the first Exodus, if he is the same and changes not, he is here in this third exodus as well.

1 Corinthians 10:4 and they all drank of the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

Can’t you see it? Peter tells us in 1 Peter 2:8 and, “A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.”They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.

The prophet Samuel told us in 1 Samuel 2:2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

And this Rock which Daniel saw come down and crush the nations by His presence, has done exactly that and we set like dumb sheep thinking that is yet to come. It is not yet to come, it has already come.

From his sermon Man that can turn on light 63-1229M P:69 brother Branham says,   “My son Billy Paul, he talks in his sleep, but he doesn't have dreams very often. He had one the other night that shook him up. Said he'd dreamed he was at a church, and they... I hadn't come in yet. Said when I come in, fire was flying out of the eyes. And I said, "The time is here; it's over." And everybody begin screaming, "I can't, my children." And me...My wife said, "I can't get Sarah to ask the blessing at the table," and so forth. And I said... He said, "I've got to go get Loyce and the baby." I said, "Loyce can't come now. The baby's too young to know. Billy the hour is here; we must go." I said, "It's midnight now, before daylight Jesus will be here. If it isn't then I'm a false witness of Christ." And somebody spoke up and said, "No man knows the minute or hour." "I never said minute or hour; I said sometime between now and daylight." I said, "Let's go, Billy. And I said something... I said, "But we're at the time; let's go." And we got in the car and started. And we started up the mountain. And when we did, it was, looked like the light was coming, and the skies were dark upon the earth. He said I pulled off the side of the road, held my hands over like this, fire still flying from my eyes. And he said I said, "Lord, I have did this at Your command. I have did this just because that You told me to do it this a-way. I have did these things according to what You've told me." And I motioned to a big granite mountain, and a--a Light without hands cut a stone out of the mountain weighing hundreds of tons and here it come. I said, "Turn your heads; don't look. It'll be--all be over just in a few minutes." Said, "Then a great holy hush come everywhere as this Stone come towards the place."

Now, most people stop reading it right there and that is where we make our mistake, so let’s read on.

Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.

Psalm 18:31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

So brother Branham continues saying in 70 It may be later than we think. There... See, that's exactly Scriptural (You see?), the Stone without hands cut out of the mountain. And so one of these days it's going to be that way when you're going to scream for something. I said to him, "You've already had that time. God has constantly warned you time after time." Yeah, I said, "Even if it's my own kid or whoever it is, the hour is here. I can only say what He's told me to say, and it'll be here, and it was." And then all of a sudden here He come a Stone cut out of the mountain without hands. Daniel saw that, you know, back many years ago. And Billy knowed nothing about that, but it was a dream sent to him from the Lord. Now, see, they claim to be worshipping that very God that they were making fun of. And the same thing has reversed again today by the same reason, living in a glare instead of the Light. Great Lights has a shine. All right.

So he says that is how they always miss Him, man is always looking to what God will do and seeing what he has done and failing to recognize what he is doing.

We have seen His star 63-1216 P:61 And, listen, they had a master down there. If you want to read it, it's Daniel 2:43. Daniel the prophet was their master when they were down in Babylon. That's exactly. Daniel was their master prophet. And he had taught them all the things of God, 'cause he was a master over them. And he told them that there would be a Stone cut out of the mountain someday (You remember him tell that?) without hands. And it would smash the Gentile kingdoms to the world (See?), all kingdoms, and Itself would grow and cover the earth."

Oh, people don’t you see? That is what is going on right now. The gentiles kingdoms are all becoming dust. They are all being destroyed. There is no truth anywhere. All tables are full of filth. Try to find truth anywhere today, you can’t find it outside this Message. And this Word, this Message has exposed everything until “all things have become manifested by the light.” That’s Ephesians 5:13

America will never be great again? She has sinned away her day of Grace,

Abraham restored 61-0211 P:30 Well then, if God can use a cow and a horse and a sheep and a bird by instinct to flee the wrath that's coming, you'd better get away from these big old walls of Babylon and flee to Jesus Christ, 'cause she's going to crumble and fall one of these days. Remember, there was a Stone cut out of the mountain without hands, come rolling into Babylon and tearing it down wherever it went. And the kingdom of this world will fall just as certain. Every manmade kingdom's got to sink, so the Kingdom of God can take the right of way. Every manmade organization will fall and crumble to the dust, that the power of the Holy Ghost might take the church and rapture it into that place up above. That's right. Yes, sir. They... Everything has served its purpose, but we're at the time, brother, when God is calling His people out. The Stone that was cut out of the mountain without hands is rolling in, crashing down Babylon, moving right on over. Get away from the big walls, friend. Come into Jesus Christ. That's the only Place of safety or refuge I know.

David said in Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

What Holy Ghost was given for 59-1217 P:90 There's only one way to find it. There was a Stone cut out of the mountain without hands that rolled into the world and smashed it out, and it become like wheat--or chaff on the threshing floors. Let that Stone, the Christ Jesus, that Stumbling Stone to the world, a Stone of an offense, a laughing Stone, a Stumbling Block to the church; but a precious and a Lodestone to the believer, a Stone of assurance, a Stone of rest (Oh, my.), resting... I know that I've passed from death unto Life. My soul is at rest. Oh, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and heavy laden, and I'll give you rest to your soul." "A Sign that's to be evil spoken of," said the prophet to Mary. It'll be a Sign. Sure it will. But It'll be an assurance; It'll be a love. It'll be a satisfaction. It'll be something that you know you've passed from death unto Life.

Oneness of unity 58-0128 P:18 Daniel saw the end when the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and it rolled into the kingdoms of the world and crushed them. And they became like trash on the floor, the husk that the winds blew away; but the Stone covered all the earth. That Stone is Christ. There will be... Sometime there'll be one nation, one people, one flag, the old rugged cross. Praise be to the living God. My hope is built on nothing less, Than Jesus' blood with righteousness; When all around my soul gives away,He then is all my hope and stay. For on Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sands. All other ground: churches, denominations, nations, "U.N.'s", whatever it might be, is all sinking sand. It's got to come to an end.

Is this sign of the end sir 62-1230E P:126 It might be closer than you think it is. It's got me scared. Oh, I haven't done enough. Where are we at? “Time shall be no more.” He announces that time is over. What happens? What happens? Could that be so now, brethren? Seriously think. If it is, then the pyramid is capped by the seven thunders. You remember the pyramid message? It's the capstone. What did it do? The Holy Spirit capped off the individual and sealed it when we added to our faith, righteousness, and godliness, and faith, and so forth. We kept adding to it till we got seven things, and the seventh one was Love which is God. That's how He makes the individual. He caps him and seals him with the Holy Spirit. Then if that be so, He's got seven church ages that He's had seven mysteries that's been sounded away and they fought for to bring back, and now the Headstone comes to cap off the church. Does the thunders mean that, my brethren? Sirs, is that where we are at?

Now, I know that many brethren are misguided and are looking for the Thunders to ye be revealed, but the thunders were the opening of the seals. And all the seals have been revealed. And those thunders were the opening of those seven seals.

Questions and answers COD 64-0830E P:49 395. Have the seven thunders which equals seven mysteries already been revealed? Were they revealed in the seven Seals, but are yet not known to us as the thunders yet? No, they were revealed in the seven Seals; that's what the thunders was about. They was to reveal... The seven thunders that had uttered their voices and no one could make out what it was... John knew what it was, but he was forbidden to write it. He said, "But the seventh angel, in the days of his sounding, the seven mysteries of the seven thunders would be revealed." And the seventh angel is a messenger of the seventh church age. See?

You see, its already happened and they knew it not. That is why Br. Branham said “You are standing before the white throne now. Why? Because the Judge is here? And people go on with their fussing and attitudes not even aware that the Judge of all the earth is here. Just like Abraham’s wife, she lied to the Judge of all the earth and God would have stricken her dead except that was His friend Abraham’s wife.

Unveiling of God 64-0614M P:137 Now, someone has been, many has been saying to me, and theologians said, "Brother Branham, if the Lord God..." Said, "If with your experience that the Lord has given you for His people," humbly saying this, said, "you'd be eligible to write-a Bible yourself, your Word that God has manifested."I said, "That might be true." See, he was trying to catch me. See? And I said, "But, you see, I couldn't do that."He said, "Why couldn't? You have all the qualifications."I said, "But, you look, one word cannot be added or taken away." See? And he said, "Well then, them seven thunders (You see?)," said, "wouldn't them seven thunders blasting out, won't that be a revelation be give to some man?"I said, "No, sir, it would be adding something to It or taking something from It." It's all revealed in there, and the seven seals opened up the revelation of what that was. See? He's still in the Word. You see, you can't get out of that Word. It won't leave the Word. And God's Spirit will never leave that Word. It'll stay right with the Word, blinding some and open the eyes of others. It'll always do that.

Breach the 63-0317E P:16 This seven-sealed Book is revealed at the time of the Seven Thunders of Revelations 10. If you're marking it down... Let's turn to Revelations 10 just a moment, so you'll get a understanding before we get into it. Now, this is at the end time, for listen.... I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow... upon his head,...If you notice that's Christ (See?), 'cause He in the Old Testament was called the Angel of the Covenant, and He's directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right.... and his face... as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: You remember that Angel in Revelations 1? Same thing. Angel is a messenger, and He's a Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured. See? Now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.

Seven Church Ages 54-0512 223 But listen, another Scripture comes to me. Daniel said... When He said, "Close..." When he seen this Angel come down with a rainbow over His head, put one foot on the land, and one on the sea, and held up His hands, and swore by Him that lives from ever and ever. When those seven voices uttered their, the Seven Thunders uttered their voices, He said, "Seal it; not known until the last day." He said. "But the time this mystery of God should be finished, when these will be revealed to the Church; and He swore by Him that lives forever and forever, that time should be no more." Listen what He said there then. He said, "Go thy way, Daniel; shut up the Book." See? "For thou shall rest, and you shall stand in the last days in your lot. But many of those who turn many to righteousness shall outshine the stars forever and forever." There you are, "stars," those seven ministers, seven ministers, through Seven Church Ages, which consists of two thousand years.

Now, I do not know if you are aware but there are a bunch of ministers who claim to be preaching the Message but who actually have no clue what the Message is even about because they are looking for seven men to raise up and speak those thunders. Why can’t they believe what God’s prophet just told us, that was the seven Messengers were to the seven church ages over the past two thousand years.

Unveiling of God pp. 174 But now as Revelation 10 is revealed, the mysteries of God is made manifest, known, as the seven-sealed Book promised. Now, let your faith in Him Who is the Word... 'Cause in Revelations 10 it says, or in Revelations 19, rather... I had it wrote down here, Revelations 10, to go to it; but it ain't 10, it's 19. When He comes, He's going to be called the Word of God, riding upon a white horse, and the followers of heaven will be behind Him. Break the denominational veil of education. Break the denominational veil of tradition. Break those veils that's hiding Him from you. Break those veils of pride, you women; you're a King's daughters; act like it; live like it. Break every veil. No matter what Ph.D. and LL.D. says; if it's contrary to that Bible, break through that veil; for we've crossed the riven veil. We're on the other side now, on the other side. And you will see, if you'll just do that, break those old traditions and things and come to Him, you'll see Him standing the Mighty Conqueror, the Word of promise for this age made manifest. You'll see the mighty God unveiled, see Him right among us here, unveiled, the mighty God, unconquered by traditions.

From Brother Branham’s sermon 256 God’s Only Provided Place of Worship 65-1128.1M  he said,  “Sometime the Capstone will return, the head of all of it, and receive the Bride unto Himself;”  

And that sometime is already here. The Capstone, the great Holy Spirit Himself is here. We showed you where Jesus preached His Parousia and Paul preached it and Peter and James and John. They all spoke of His Parousia and I’ve shown you that 79 of the 94 things he is to do has already taken place, and so has this great Stone cut out without hands, the Cap STONE has come and when it was rejected since that time it has set about destroying all the Gentile kingdoms and bringing them to an end.

You will never make America great again, it turned down the sign of Messiah, the Presence of the Lord Himself. The great cap stone that would have capped this nation with a thousand years of glory had it received it, but thus they did not, and are under judgment.

Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44  And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

So you either dash yourself upon His Cap stone and become humbled into His image or else it will fall on you and completely destroy you.

But that great stone cut out without hands on the one hand is destroying the Gentile Kingdoms, while on the other hand is gathering his precious stones, his jewels to build His kingdom with,

Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; (and what is a jewel? It is a precious stone, and stone of great value) and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Now, as I said,  there is an awful lot that is said here! But by God's Grace we broke this down and took it to the scriptures.  Notice these stones are sons.

Isaiah 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5  And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

We would see Jesus 61-0409 P:32 And John the Baptist, the Elijah that was coming, that he would be some great fellow, because the mountains would skip like rams, and the leaves was to clap their hands, and the high places made low, and the low places high. Well, they expected some great outstanding something to shake the nation. But when he came what was he? He was a man with a piece of sheepskin draped around him, with beard all over his face, lives off of locust and wild honey, and came forth preaching on the muddy banks of Jordan, and shaking the churches to repentance. When he seen many come into his baptism, he said, "Generation of vipers, who's warned you to flee from the wrath? Think not to say within yourself, 'We have Abraham to our father,' for I say unto you, that God's able of these stones to rise children of Abraham."Also, "The axe is laid to the root of the tree. Every tree that bringeth forth not good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire." So you see, it was altogether different. They couldn't receive Him. When Jesus came, He came with a illegitimate name, came as a Child born out of holy wedlock. Never went to any seminary school, or anything else, that we have any record of in the Bible, or history, that He ever attended one day of school. But He astounded the priests, because He was sent of God; He had the wisdom and power of God to back up everything that He said. And He astounded them at His doctrine. For He didn't teach like a scribe, He taught as One Who had the Word of the Lord.We seen His teaching was altogether different than what the churches had it of His day. Perhaps, it'd be a lot different today if He was here.

Isaiah 51:1 “ Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

We are little chips off the old block so to speak. And that’s the words we use when we see a son who is just like his Father. That is why Jesus said, Peter thou art a stone, and upon Revelation of Who my Father is, upon that stone, I will build my church.

Remember, in Deuteronomy 32:4 He tells us God is our rock, and in verse 1-2 he tells us God’s Word is His Doctrine.

Deuteronomy 32:1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2  My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

And we are His Jewels, his precious stones. Hallelujah.

Brother Branham  said, "Sometime the Capstone will return, the head of all of it, and receive the Bride unto Himself;" And in this statement consists 5 points.

I)   Brother Branham began by saying, "Sometime" - and so we found ourselves looking at this to mean a specific time or season for something to happen,  "some...time'''  at some time...and that something to happen is... 

II)  "The Cap Stone shall return"

III)  "In order to receive Something" and that something is called ...   

IV)   "The Bride"  and where is this Bride going to be received?

V) "To Himself" And that is the focus of the Message. "To Declare Him, that He is Here!"

So let's look at these 5 points for the next few minutes before we close.   

I)   The word... "Sometime", He said, "Sometime",

In other words, we are looking at a specific time or  season for something to happen. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us "to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven:" 

But we were not interested in every time for everything. More specifically, we are interested  in knowing the specific thing or a specific time or season. So then, we found that the season must have earmarks or marks of distinction. Like we see in the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Each of these seasons has earmarks or specific characteristics that we are aware of and that we know and of which we use to identify the season we are in. So we see that the characteristics identify the season.

And so we find in 1 Peter 1:5-13 that there would come an season which is epochal and strategic in it's nature according to the Wuest Translation].

In verse 13 we read  "Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the Grace that is to be revealed unto You at the Revelation of Jesus Christ."  

Notice here, we see that a season of Grace is to come at the time of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. And what does this Grace do? It identifies the Revelation of Jesus Christ! Grace, then will be an earmark of this Message or this Revealing of Christ.  

Now, the season is very important to us, and we must know and understand what season we are in, because each season has specific earmarks, identifiable characteristics, or what we call fruits.  Each season has specific fruits that will come forth and you must know what season you are in so that you will know what fruits to expect. Strawberries are harvested in June, so if you were to look for them in October, you will miss out on the strawberry harvest. Just the same as Apples are best harvested in September or October and if you look for them in June you will not be too satisfied with the fruit you find. You must know what fruits are to accompany what season and then you plant accordingly and your harvest will be successful.

In examining  Psalms 1:1-4 we find that God likens man to a tree that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; but it also tells us that the ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away."

The scripture tells us we must have the right fruit for the right season.

In Matthew 7:16-20 Jesus tells us Ye shall know them by their fruits!. 

And what are these fruits Jesus is talking about?  Well, we know that Jesus said, " As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he, and out from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" 

Therefore as a man is so shall he think and speak. Therefore his fruits show what He is just as an apple hanging on a tree shows what type of tree it is. When Jesus told His disciples to beware the leaven of the Pharisees, they thought he was speaking of bread, but he was not speaking of bread, he was speaking of Doctrine.

And so a man's doctrine will declare what that man is in his heart. `

From Anointed Ones at the End - Time pg. 15 Brother Branham said, when referring to Matthew 7, "What is the fruit? It is the teaching of the season." 

So we see then, that the season is all important as to what fruit is to be manifested. And since the fruit is the teaching of the season, then the teaching will identify the season as well. Right? So we see that the season has characteristics which identify itself. And these characteristics that we are looking at here, is the fruit or teachings that are being presented to the people.

So then, we must ask ourselves what identifiable characteristics is Brother Branham speaking of here, when he says, "Some time". Some time, what? And we follow this up with ...

Point # 2) "Some time the Cap Stone shall return."  So then, we are looking at the season when the Cap Stone shall return.

And the Cap Stone is referred to in Scripture by the word Head Stone. And of course we have already shown you He is here, capping hi building, his church, his elect sons.

In the book of Zechariah 4:4-7 we read, “Then the angel that talked to me answered and said unto me, 'knowest thou not what these be?' And I said, 'No, My Lord.' Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, 'This is the Word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit' saith the Lord of Hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with Shoutings, crying Grace, Grace unto it!'

So the Headstone is to be brought with a Shout, which we know is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 which is the Message. So the Message is the fruit showing forth that the headstone is here. Therefore the Shout He came down with His Parousia is the fruit of His ministry, and it shows the capstone has come shouting Grace, Grace unto it.

This a very peculiar thing about the time or season  of the Head Stone. The people will be involved in the SHOUT! And their cry will go forth as an echo of the Shout crying, "Grace, Grace unto It!" Grace, Grace unto what? Unto It! Unto the Head Stone! He’s here to seal us in.

From Jesus keeps all of His Appointments pg. 21  brother Branham says, "As it gets closer and closer, the negative and positive are coming together, until they both become the same thing. And that's exactly when the church and the Word has to be One, like Jesus and God was One, just exactly. "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself." And so will Christ have to be in the church, the anointed of the Word, to make everything fulfilled. And that's the Capstone that comes upon the last church age. 

From The Paradox  pp. 149 brother Branham said,  “watch, Luther - Wesley - Pentecost and the Cap Stone, when the church and Word becomes the Same. Same thing, exactly, perfectly."  

So we see the time of the Cap Stone will be marked by certain characteristics - and these characteristics will bring forth a Shout in the people crying, "Grace, Grace unto the It!" 

Now, remember, Grace will be an earmark or an identifiable characteristic of the Cap Stone season.

1 Peter 1:13  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the Grace that us to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."

That's 1 Thessalonians 3:13 where it states that “He will establish our hearts unblameable and in holiness in the Presence of God, even our Father, at the Parousia of our Lord Jesus Christ." 

So we see our holiness does not come from anything that we can do, but simply from what He said about you.  

Notice how Brother Branham was speaking of "the time when the Cap Stone would return." And we know what he told us this Cap Stone would do. He said, "The anointed Word which is Christ would come amongst the Bride and even enter into the Bride making her One with the Father."  

We find this in ...  2 Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

And we have the picture right there on my right which is your left showing the fulfillment of this scripture.

And then as we read further in 2 Thessalonians 1:10-12 “And to you who are troubled, rest with us when the lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, ...When He shall come to be glorified in His Saints, That word is endoxazo which means when his doxa shall be mamifested and magnified in our Zoe or life.

Therefore, I want you to notice how He comes  in the saints. This is when the very mind of God comes into the saints.

Point #3)  Which is the "Receiving or reception We get from Him."  And we know that this receiving us is already taking place as He is gathering us unto Him according to Scripture.

2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

Matthew 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

So we see that the fan is in his hand driving out the chaff by every wind of doctrine. Yes they are falling for the doctrines of devils while the bride of Christ is gathering unto HIM who is the Word.

Now, remember, the churches reception of Him was not good. He was rejected and put out of the church and He is standing at the door knocking trying to get back in.  He said there is a certain season in which the Cap Stone Himself shall return and receive or gather a Bride to Himself.

This is what we are striving for. This is what it is all about. And how does He receive us? By bringing forth in us His manifested Word. We are gathered unto Him and He is the Word.

Now let’s look further at what he says in pp. 256 as we shall read... "Sometime the Capstone will return, the head of all of it, and receive the Bride unto Himself; which the woman is took from the man, a part of the man. Every... Genes of the man is in the woman, that's what makes the woman. And that's the way the Word of God is in the Church, what makes the Church the Bride."

Now as we look at this statement, I want you to notice closely that brother Branham is giving us a little Biology lesson here. He’s typing the natural with the Spiritual as he often did. And he’s focusing our minds upon this thought of the Genes of God.

He says, the woman is taken from the man, because she’s actually part of the man. Then he qualifies this by saying "Genes of the man is in the woman,” and he again qualifies this by saying, “that's what makes the woman”... or in  other words, "that's what makes up the woman."

Now, he also said in his sermon Jesus keeps all of His Appointments pg. "As it gets closer and closer, the negative and positive are coming together, until they both become the same thing. And that's exactly when the church and the Word has to be One, like Jesus and God was One,  just exactly. "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself." And so will Christ have to be in the church, the anointed of the Word, to make everything fulfilled. And that's the Capstone that comes upon the last church age. 

And from The Paradox  pp. 149 He said, “watch, Luther - Wesley - Pentecost and the Cap Stone when the church and Word becomes the Same. Same thing, exactly, perfectly."

So we see that he’s letting us know in order for the Bride and the Word to be One, if the Word was in God and the Word is God, then we must have the same Genes as God in order to be One with Him.  And we find this in the scripture as we examine 1 Peter 2:6-9

1 Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a Chief Corner Stone, Elect, Precious: And He that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. 

Shall not be confused. Because we know according to 1 Corinthians 2 that no man can understand the things of God except the Holy Ghost be in him. And if you understand the things of God you will not be confused or confounded. Attributes of them who are born again.

Now notice first that this Cap Stone or Head Stone was the Corner Stone that was rejected in the Alpha ministry. And also those who are Elect will not be confounded or confused. And that is because they will understand. And if they will understand the Message, and He said, "My ministry is to declare Him, that He is here," Then they will have to understand Godhead, and Vindication in order to know who is here. Therefore they will know Who it is that has come down.

1 Peter 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe, He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the Stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the Head of the Corner,

Now if you will notice here, He did not say He is made the Corner, but He is made the Head of the Corner. Jesus the Man came in the Alpha, and He is the Lamb that will be at the top of the Holy Mountain New Jerusalem. But above Him will be the Pillar of Fire which will show forth God’s Presence. And it is that Same Spirit of God that was in Jesus reconciling the world to Himself that has come back as the Cap Stone or Headstone at this hour.

And notice Peter says, To those who believe, He is precious.. And if He is Precious then for Him to be here, is precious, because how can you say He is precious and then deny His Parousia-Presence and call it false doctrine. If He is precious, then the very thoughts of Him being here ought to make you rejoice with a joy unspeakable and full of Glory.

1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown or rejoicing of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His Parousia?" " Unto you therefore which believe, He is precious:

(which is a Greek word, ti’me’ which means “He is highly valued”, or you place the highest value upon”  “but unto them which be disobedient, the Stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the Head of the Corner”. 

Now let's see what the attitude of those who are called by scripture as “disobedient”, or “children of disobedience”.

Now let's read a couple of scriptures that speak of these children of disobedience and I want you to look for earmarks or identifiable characteristics.

Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

And that spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience is not the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

So we see that these children have one thing in common. A false anointing from the devil that brings deception. And how does it come? By vain words. Useless words. Words which mean nothing. Which is their own words, and not God’s words which are “Thus Saith the Lord”.

Therefore if the two main doctrines that Jesus brought forth were Godhead and Presence, which is vindication, then other thoughts that would go contrary to these would have to be considered vain and useless.   

But as we see here by these scriptures,  1 Peter 2: 7 “Unto you therefore which believe, He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient,”

And according to the next verse he tells us 1 Peter 2:8 He has become  “a Stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the Word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” 

Now these children of disobedience are serpent seed, so they cannot be the Seed of God. In fact as we read further in the next verse we will find this out for sure. But notice that to the elect this Headstone or Capstone ministry of His Appearing is precious to us, it is considered the most valuable thing we know, but to the other Seed, it is considered a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.

Now if we really get into this and look at the definition of the word offense, we shall find that it means, something that causes resentment and anger, the act of attacking and assaulting. And that is why they say, "It's not so much their doctrine that we hate, it's their Spirit." They say we have a wrong Spirit. And that is why they could not buy into what Jesus had to say either. He came at them with a two edged sword and they did not like it either. So it became a Rock of Offense and a stumbling stone to them which stumble at the Word because they are children of disobedience, as they were appointed to be from before the world was even framed.

So what we are looking at here is twins. Both religious, yet one is the Seed of God and the other is the seed of the Devil. And what we are finding is that the key to understanding this is that only those who are in the Election will not stumble at the Word.  But those who are not God's Seed will stumble at the 2 major doctrines that have come forth at every exodus God has come as the Pillar of Fire.  Godhead and vindication.

Now, I want you to read this next verse very carefully.

1 Peter 2:9  “But ye are a chosen generation,” - the word here is genos which we get the word gene  from and which refers to Lineage, seed  or offspring and I want you to notice what the attributes of this gene seed are. He says,  they are:   “an Holy nation, a peculiar people”.

Now this is not peculiar in our sense of the word which means strange, but it comes from a Greek word which actually means a purchased people, or a people who have been bought with a price, which then means a redeemed people.  “that ye should show forth the praises of Him Who hath called you out of darkness unto His marvelous light:” 

Now if we are to show forth the praises of Him, then we are to say the same thing He said. We won't add to it, and we won't take from it. Jesus said, "If you confess me before men, I will confess you before my father." And Brother Branham taught us that the word confess means to say the same thing, because it is made up of two Greek words, "Homo" which means the same as, and "Logos" which is the very thoughts of God manifested or expressed. So we see that to confess Him is to say the same things He said about Himself. Then you have got to understand what he said in order to repeat it correctly. 

The Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child I spake as a child, because I understood as a child, and I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish thinking."

How many times you’ve heard your children or grandchildren speak in muddled sentences, which don’t make any sense to you, but it does to them. So you see, that without an understanding, many of the things we think about just do not come out right. We must have a mature mind, to think mature thoughts. And God has come down to give us His Mind in this hour. And we must have a spiritually mature mind in order to receive God's thoughts. And that is the trouble we have in this message today. Men are still living by the glare of another day. And they have not come to the place where they have let go of their own thoughts. Look, you do not have the capacity to hold onto your own thoughts and also receive the thoughts of God.  And so, when we hear Brother Branham make the  statement, "which the woman is took from the man, a part of the man.  Every... Genes of the man is in the woman, that's what makes the woman. And that's the way the Word of God is in the Church, what makes the Church the Bride." We find men who are not ordained to handle this word taking these words and making them into some sort of contorted Female attributes of God and a sort of Female part of God or some strange Female Holy Ghost doctrine. It just goes to show that these men do not understand the Doctrine of Godhead, Father Son and sons, and therefore they cannot understand Vindication either.

2 Timothy 3:13-14, 16-17 Paul speaks of the importance of, “Knowing of whom you are taught,” because the Word of God is actually instructions in righteousness, and it takes a right word to be rightly wise.   

Let's bow our heads and pray.
