Now, we had him coming, last night, with his great sword, to kill.

We find out that he gets killed with the sword, too, the sword of the Word. God’s Word, sharp, two-edged sword, slays him, puts him right down. Wait till them Seven Thunders utter Their voices to that group who really can take the Word of God and hand It there, It’ll slice and cut. And they can close the heavens. They can shut this, or do that, whatever they want to. Glory! He’ll be slayed by the Word that proceeds from His mouth, is sharper than a two-edged sword. They could call for a hundred billion tons of flies if they wanted to. Amen. Whatever they say, is going to happen, because It’s the Word of God coming from the mouth of God. Yeah. Amen. God, always, It’s His Word, but He always uses man to work It.

Look what we’ve seen in this day. The Quickening Power has come to us, to open the Seven Seals. What was that, the intelligence of a man? No, the quickening Power of God. See, the quickening Power of God foretold this would take place. See, the quickening Power of God made the world testify to It, it’s the Truth. The Angel of the Lord, I told you, was around, in a Pillar of Fire; quickening Power let the world testify that It’s the Truth. And, in that, they didn’t know what It was; and we knew, just look this a way, and It’s our Lord up there, you see.

He is the One Who opened those Seals. He is those Seals, for the whole Word of God is Christ, and Christ is the Seals that was opened. What is the opening of Seals then? Revealing Christ.

And the very seven Angels, which represented the Seven Churches all completed, and we couldn’t even see It. They did, they took the picture, not us. And there He is, standing there, Supreme Judge; showing that He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. What identification! Quickening Power did that to us.

Quickening Power lets us see His coming. Quickening Power snatched us from death to Life. Quickening Power gives discernment; to know what’s wrong with you, and what to do; what you have done, and what you ought not have done; and what you should have done, and what you will be. Quickening Power, all these things!

Now, a man is made up as a triune being: soul, body, spirit.  Now, the outside is the body. There is five gates to that body, and that's the five senses, of course: see, taste, feel, smell, and hear. The inside, like the seed that's planted, the inside of that is the pulp-like of the seed, which is the soul. There is five gates to that, you enter into: conscience, and memory, and so forth. But then inside of that little compartment is the third compartment, which is the spirit. And that's what controls the rest of it. There's only one avenue through that, and that's self will. You can accept or turn away, and that's the only avenue to that. If you accept the will of God through that spirit, God's Spirit takes His place in your heart and controls the rest of you. And if you do not accept That, then the enemy takes that spot and controls the rest of you.

Now He has come to claim His Own. So, He takes the Book, stands out there before John, and He pulls It back and breaks the Seal. Pulls the Seal down! And when He pulls the Seal down, a Thunder clapped through the place. And when a Thunder clapped, no doubt John might have jumped up in the air, when a Thunder roared.

And then one of the four Beasts said, “Now come, see what It is, what’s revealed beneath here.” Oh, my! “John, write what you seen.” So John goes to look, see what It was. John goes to see what the Thunder said. It’s then that this Creature told John, “Come, see what the mystery is under the First Seal.” [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit four times—Ed.] The Thunder, the Voice of the Creator has uttered It. Now, He ought to know what’s There. See? Oh, my! But, think now, he wrote This.

But when he started to write those other, Seven Thunders, He said, “Don’t write It.” He had been commissioned to write everything he seen. But when these Seven Thunders, over in Revelation 10, uttered, He said, “Don’t write Them, at all.” They are mysteries. We don’t know what they are yet. But, my opinion, they’ll be revealed right away. And when it do, it’ll give faith for that rapturing grace, for that Church to move out. See?

We’ve just moved through everything that we know of, through all the dispensations. We’ve watched everything. We seen the mysteries of God. We seen the appearing of the—of the great gathering together of the Bride in the last days. But, yet, there is something in There that we just can’t lighten ourself with. There is something other.

But I imagine, when them mysteries begins to come forth, God said, “Hold It back now. Wait a minute. I’ll reveal It in that day. Don’t write It, at all, John, ’cause they’ll stagger over It. Just—just let it go, see. But I’ll reveal It in that day when it has need to be done.”

They never uttered for nothing. Remember, like the little drop of ink, everything is for a purpose. Everything is for a cause. But, notice, the Creator uttered. And he—he heard this Voice, and he went to see.

Jesus said, ‘Be One as I and the Father are One.’ Then how will that be? The Word in us will be the anointed Word. That is the Oneness of God. See, the Oneness of God is the Word anointed in you. See? And then you become a Messiah of the age. Hallelujah. 

“Who Do You Say This Is?” Oh, give me a Church that’s so completely surr… anointed with God till their very action, hallelujah, and their move is THUS SAITH THE LORD, walk in that Shekinah Glory, and I’ll show you a Messiah anointed standing on the earth. This is your promise in the Adoption age. Malachi 4 said so. That’s my promise. I’m going to take it. Hallelujah. 

What will it be? It’ll be a reflection. Amen. We’re at the end time. This is… This is Adoption day. Now the Holy Spirit by the restoration of His very Person being in here, amen, forming signs and wonders like He did at the beginning. What will the very Person in the Bride manifest? The manifestation of the sons of God. Hallelujah. The very Person. Amen. 

Do you understand, Church, what hour this is? It’s the Bride Age, Adoption time, Seed time, Spoken Word Bride. This is the dispensation of Adoption. Amen. This is the day of the manifestation of the sons of God, when the mysteries that’s been hid since the foundation of the world is beginning to be made known by the manifested sons of God. Hallelujah.

Now, if you’ll notice the Word, it was not upon Himself, the rock. No, it was up on the spiritual revelation of Himself that was given to Peter. The same thing that took place in Eden. How did Adam… How did—did Abel know that it was a lamb in the stead of fruit of the field? Spiritual revelation. See? It’s always been spiritual revelation. “Upon this rock I’ll build My Church, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it.” Oh, let me say this tonight, Christian. There’s where so many people are failing to see the—the message of God. There’s where so many people are failing to see the truths. The—the Bible becomes a riddle to them.

Now, the Coming of the Lord Jesus is so imminent, the coming of judgment, He’s calling His Elected together in oneness with Himself, with the same kind of a ministry He had. You know how I shaped in the Church Ages, here not long ago, about the—the big tower that was built, called the pyramid, but the headstone was never put on it. Remember how the Lutherans came, then the Wesleys in the minority, and then down to Pentecost. And now what He’s doing, calling from that. What did He do? He called out the Elect, to make the Lutheran; He called out the Elect, out of the Lutheran, to make the Wesleyan; He called out the Elect, out of that, to make the Pentecostals; now He’s calling the Elect pentecostals out, to make the headstone to come into it. A very same kind of a ministry dropping right in on it, calling His children from all denominations and all walks of life.

Notice what harmony. Jesus never did anything until seen of the Father or the Father showed Him first. Harmony between God and Christ. St. John 5:19. Do you know what I’m saying friends? Jesus Christ did nothing except the Father showed Him. The Father showed Him what He wanted Him to do, then He carried out the orders. “Thus saith the Lord.” 

William Marrion Branham: the Father showed him what to do. He carried out the orders. There’s gonna be a Bride that’s gonna move into an atmosphere of St. John 5:19, Amen, where the Father will show us what to do, what to say, how to move, and we’ll do nothing except we see it from the Father. “Thus saith the Lord,” or we’ll keep still.

Oh how we would like for St. John 5:19 to become part of us and we become part of it. Amen? In our lives, the Holy Spirit moving and showing us His Word of Life. Nothing can harm Her, not even death for if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret: The Word is in the Bride. Is it in there tonight? I mean this morning? The Word - this was a prophecy, 1962 prophecy, before the Seven Seals come. He said here is the secret: The Word is in the Bride. And you are vindicating this prophecy because you never even
heard of him then, but he was prophesying about you: The Word is in the Bride. That is the secret. And if Satan could have gotten a hold of the secret, he could have done great damage. But he can’t know this. The Third Pull, he don’t know anything about it: God speaking into His Bride. Praise God.

Here is the secret: The Word is in the Bride and the mind of Christ to know what He wants done with the Word. Do you understand that now? The Word is in. Dynamics is the mind of Christ, Charity, to move the Word. There we are. Amen. To know what He wants done with the Word. She does it in His Name. She has, “Thus saith the Lord,” or She keeps still. Oh what a dominion, huh? Dominion. This is made possible by the revelation of the Seven Seals of Redemption.
