"The rapture's already,

^and

you didn't know it."

MODERN.EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY.title SBD.CA V-7 N-6 65-

The Word always comes to His prophet. So we can't expect It to come to theologians.

We can't expect It to come to denominations. It's got to come God's channeled route that He foretold us about,

and that's the only way

^{It'll ever come}^.

It'll be hated,

despised, rejected.

When It does come,It'll be throwed out to one side

and everything, but God will do it anyhow. It was rejected in Jesus Christ;

it was rejected in John; it was rejected by Jeremiah; it was rejected by Moses.

It's always that way. But God moves right on in the way that He promised He would do it.

Yes, sir.

He never does fail to do it the same way.

“They don't want it.” – “They won't listen to it.”

MATTHEW 3:1-5

1 ¶ In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

IT IS WRITTEN:

The people who took his revelation from God became the living epistles read and known of all men for their generation.

When the Methodists failed, God raised up others and so it has gone on through the years until in this last day there is again another people in the land,

who under their messenger

will be the final voice

the final age.

SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS.title DALLAS.TX V-19 N-8 64-0304

You know,

in all the history of the world, all the history of the church,

there has never been one time, that any reformer, or any man, that ever had a-

-a great ministry to the Gentiles,

that their name ever end in h-a-m,

like A-b-r-a-h-a-m,

until now.

-------

We've had Billy Sunday, Finney, Sankey, Moody, Knox, Calvin, so forth, but never a G-r-a-h-a-m or any ending with a h-a-m,

never before.

GO.WAKE.JESUS.title TUCSON.AZ 63-1103

There's been a Billy Sunday, Sankey, Finney, Knox, Calvin, and Luther, so forth. Not a one of them ever had a name that ended with h-a-m until today, G-r-a-h-a-m. Not another one any time. That's six letters,

where Abraham is A-b-r-a-h-a-m, seven,

perfect.

See?

ZACCHAEUS.THE.BUSINESSMAN.title TUCSON.AZ 63-0121

And so my name is Bran-ham, you know.

Someone said to me, said, "Are... Brother Bran-ham, are you any relation to Abraham?"

I said,

"His son."

Father of nations:

being dead in Christ

we are Abraham's seed and heir with him according to the promise.

That's the Scripture.

ABRAHAM'S.GRACE.COVENANT.title MIDDLETOWN.OH 61-0317

God took Abraham out, and placed the adoption upon him, and changed his name (Glory.)

from Abram to Abraham.

Abraham comes from the word of

"Elohim,"

God's own name.

He associated his name with God's name.

God is Elohim.

How many knows that?

The great Jehovah, Elohim, the all-sufficient One, the self-existing One, Elohim.

And what did He do? He took the H-E-M off of His name and placed it onto Abraham's name, because he was A-bra-ham. God is the Father of all, and Abraham is father of nations.

Glory.

Elohim, Father of all:

Abraham, father of nations.

Placing positionally.

Glory.

CHRIST.IS.IDENTIFIED.THE.SAME.title TAMPA.FL 64-0415

"Ham" does mean "father of nations."

Now, notice.

"Father to the nations..."

JEHOVAH.JIREH.2.title LOUISVILLE.MS 64-0403

Notice,

"ham,"

h-a-m, father,

father of nations.

Look how fitting that is with Malachi 4:

[BRANHAM]

restore the faith back to the fathers,

Abraham's seed be restored back to the kind of faith that father Abraham had,

his royal seed.

SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title JEFF.IN 63-0324E

Now, notice,

Israel

--Israel believes only her prophets, and after they are vindicated.

And nowhere through the church age,

since in the early apostolic church,

has the Protestant church ever had a prophet.

Tell me who it was, and show it to me:

never.

They had in the early apostolic age one called Agabus which was a vindicated prophet. But in--when the Gentiles came in into inheritance of God,

and

Paul turned to the Gentiles after Peter

(as we read last night)

had received from the Lord that he was taking a-

-a people from the Gentiles for His Name,

His Bride,

then there never has been on the pages of history,

a Gentile prophet.

SECOND.SEAL.THE.title JEFF.IN 63-0319

Now, in the last days we are--it's predicted to us that there will rise a-

-a prophet.

SEVENTH.SEAL.THE.title JEFF.IN 63-0324E

Now, could you imagine when this person comes on the scene

--when he does,

remember,

it'll be so humble and things till the churches

will miss it a long ways.

VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN.title BEAUMONT.TX 64-0313

A prophet himself is a sign.

The Bible said so.

When you see times lapsing, and then see coming...

Take the history of the Bible, study it.

Whenever you seen a long lapse of time, but just...

When you've seen a prophet appear on...

It was a sign of judgment.

HE.THAT.IS.IN.YOU.title JEFF.IN V-6 N-12 63-1110E

This is the last of the world's history. It's closing.

12 INFLUENCE.title NY.NY V-18 N-9 63-1114

And here we are at the end of all things,

end of history,

end of civilization.

THREE.KINDS.OF.BELIEVERS.title JEFF.IN N-3 N-6 63-1124E

And then we're at

the closing of the history of the world

MAN.THAT.CAN.TURN.ON.LIGHT.title JEFF.IN V-6 N-1 63-1229M

Yesterday's sunlight is only a memory,

it's history

We cannot live in yesterday's light.

WHAT.IS.THE.ATTRACTION?.title JEFF.IN V-8 N-8 65-0725E

And the God of heaven promised the evening time would have evening Light.

Three years ago this mystery was a prophecy,

"What time is it, sir?"

But now it's history.

It's passed.

The promise is fulfilled.

MAN.THAT.CAN.TURN.ON.LIGHT.title JEFF.IN V-6 N-1 63-1229M

This is the last age.

And what does the Bible say about this last age?

“There is again another people in the land,

who under their messenger

will be the final voice

the final age.”

IT IS WRITTEN:

Yes sir.

The church is no longer the "mouthpiece" of God.

It is its own mouthpiece.

So God is turning on her.

He will confound her through the prophet

and the bride,

for the voice of God will be in her.

[THE VOICE OF GOD IS EMBEDDED IN THE BRIDE.]

WORLD.AGAIN.FALLING.APART.title SHP.LA V-17 N-4 63-1127

And the

èVoiceç

would speak back and tell you,

"The rapture's already, and you didn't know it."

(“The final voice to the final age.”)

CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.title JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 63-0728

Predestinated...

There's the mystery.

He'...

Before Christ or anything else was ever on earth

(You see His great mystery?)

that He chose the Bride,

knowing Eve would fall from disbelieving the Word, knowing that she would fall,

but He would choose a Bride that would not fall,

that would hold to that

èWordç

[THE THIRD PULL]

regardless of what all the rest of the world had to say about It;

they would hold to that Word.

They are predestinated to stand there.

(“The final voice to the final age.”)

PROVING.HIS.WORD.title JEFF.IN V-9 N-6 64-0816

Now,

I want you to notice;

He does it that way in every age.

He does it every time by the same method.

He has to take believers.

And then, in order to have believers to meet that Word,

He's got to predestinate it to that age.

You see it?

He's got to predestinate this thing to be there to meet the challenge of the age.

Did it get you?

Did you feel it?

Did you see it?

Do you understand it?

TAKING.SIDES.WITH.JESUS.title JEFF.IN COD 62-0601

Remember,

there's a predestinated group to be here when the Lord returns,

and

it might not be over a dozen.

See?

STRAIT.IS.THE.GATE.title JEFF.IN CH 35-66 59-0301M

I doubt whether there'll be a dozen

that'll make the rapture.

Think of it.

I'm telling you what Jesus said here in the Gospel.

Think of it.

FIRST.SEAL.THE.title JEFF.IN 63-0318

Now, the other day I made a statement:

The Bride could go home and you'd never know nothing about it.

That's true.

Somebody said,

"Well, Brother Branham, that would be a mighty small group."

Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah

(Now, you talk to Him about it. See?)

GOD.IN.SIMPLICITY.title JEFF.IN 63-0317M

And wasn't there supposed to be Elias sent to us?

And wasn't there supposed to be a rapture?"

Jesus

will say,

"It's already happened,

and you didn't know it."

[THE VOICE OF GOD IS EMBEDDED IN THE BRIDE.]

JESUS.

"Yeshua"

WILL SAY:

è"It's already happened, and you didn't know it." ç

(“The voice of God will be in her”)

“It's got to come God's channeled route that

foretold us about,

and that's the only way

It'll ever come.

It'll be hated,

despised, rejected.

When It does come,

It'll be throwed out to one side

and everything,

but God will do it anyhow.”

[THE VOICE OF GOD IS EMBEDDED IN THE BRIDE.]

THIRD.SEAL.THE.title JEFF.IN 63-0320

And when the real come, they didn't want it;

it was too humble.

QA.ON.THE.SEALS.title JEFF.IN 63-0324M

That's the Bride of Christ.

Sure,

She's got a ministry, great ministry; it's the ministry of the hour;

it'll be so humble...

GOD.OF.THIS.EVIL.AGE.title JEFF.IN V-4 N-9 65-0801M

Now,

the little

--humble little Bride of Christ

just simply believes the Word,

whoever She is;

it's individuals.

THIRD.SEAL.THE.title JEFF.IN 63-0320

We've been through all that and showed how they missed John,

how they missed Elijah,

how they missed Jesus,

how they missed them all the way along,

and they'll do the same thing,

'cause the Bible said they would.

See?

So then,

in that time it'll be very humble.

It'll be so simple.

That'll what'll makes people fall away from it.

It's too simple for them.

(“The final voice to the final age.”)

MASTERPIECE.THE.title JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 64-0705

Now

His Bride

will fulfill everything that's in the New Testament.

MASTERPIECE.THE.title JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 64-0705

Stand alone, like the Bridegroom, rejected of men,

despised and rejected of the churches.

The Bride stands that way.

MASTERPIECE.THE.title JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 64-0705

I fell into a trance.

And when I did, there was somebody with me.

I didn't see the person.

It was just a voice.

And I--I looked. And as I--I looked this way, he said,

"The Bride will come in view

for preview."

Preview:

Anything that gives an advance idea or impression of something to come.

To view or show beforehand or in advance

FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS.title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M

You remember the vision the other day?

Remember the

--the preview of it?

How many remembers Sunday 'fore last?

[64-0705]

How there it was exactly come by;

we seen it exactly, seen that dirty, filthy thing come up called the church

(vulgarity is to the extreme),

and that little Bride of every nation,

each one of them dressed like their nation they come from, just perfectly,

walking before the Lord.

You notice,

è there'll be a time some time when they'll say, ç

"Well, I thought the Church was to go before the persecution.

I thought there's a rapture.

"It's already passed and you knew it not."

That's what He said about John one time, you know.

Said,

"How--why say the prophets that a--the scribes that Elias must first come?"

He said,

"He's already come."

And even the disciples didn't know it.

"They done to him what they listed."

The rapture will be the same way.

(“The final voice to the final age.”)

(“The living epistles read and known of all men for their generation”)

TURN.ON.THE.LIGHT.title PHOENIX.AZ V-22 N-3 64-0125

And John, he said,

"Now I must decrease, my light must go out, because (why?)

I have served my time that's prophesied of me.

Hear ye Him. He's the One. Follow Him."

IT IS WRITTEN:

Though he will not be popular, he will be vindicated by God.

As Jesus authenticated John, and the Holy Ghost authenticated Jesus, we can well expect this man will be first of all authenticated by the Spirit working in his life in acts of power that are indisputable and found nowhere else;

and Jesus Himself,

in returning,

will authenticate him, even as He authenticated John.

John witnessed that Jesus was coming,--and so will this man,

like John,

witness that Jesus is coming.

“To see

Jesus Himself there in the skies,

looking down.”

And the very return of Christ will prove that this man indeed was the forerunner of His second coming.

This is the

final evidence that this indeed is the prophet of Malachi 4,

for the end of the Gentile period will be

Jesus, Himself,

appearing.

Then it will be too late for those who have rejected him.

“There He is with them Angels.”

33 SCRIPTURAL.SIGNS.OF.THE.TIME.title BIRMINGHAM.AL 64-0410

What's a sign given for?

It's to attract attention. A sign is to attract attention.

Then if the sign doesn't have any voice, then the sign's not right.

And if the sign gives the same old ecclesiastical voice,

that sign isn't from God.

If that voice hasn't got a change...

And that change must be Scriptural sign, must be Scriptural voice.

Say, for instance,

the denominational voice followed a certain sign.

God never sent that.

We've had denomination all these years.

èIt's got to be something different. ç

It's got to be

THUS SAITH THE LORD

in the Scripture.

INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.title SHP.LA V-2 N-15 65-1125

The Word that fell on the day of Pentecost will not work this day.

No, sir, that was for Pentecost.

This is for the Bride:

going home of the Bride.

We got something different.

SEED.NOT.HEIR.WITH.SHUCK.title JEFF.IN V-6 N-4 65-0218

That's why the

rapture is different

and will only be for the Royal Seed of Abraham.

RAPTURE.THE.title YUMA.AZ V-5 N-14 65-1204

But to the church,

the Bride,

the rapture is a revelation to her.

(“The final voice to the final age.”)

WORKS.IS.FAITH.EXPRESSED.title SHREVEPORT.LA V-7 N-1 65-1126

And then you turn that picture sideways,

if you've got "Look" magazine or "Life" magazine.

Turn it sideways.

There He is,

just perfectly Hofmann's Head of Christ, looking right down where I was standing; there It is in the magazine.

How many's ever seen It? '

Course, you've all seen.

There, looking right back, proved exactly the revelation was correct.

Why wigged?

Why, the old English judges, the Jewish judges, used to wear a wig, they do yet in England; when he's...

That's supreme authority; he wears a wig.

And that showed Him standing there wigged by Angels' wings;

He is the Alpha and Omega.

He is the supreme Judge, and none other but Him.

He is to look upon as Alpha and Omega.

And there He was a young Man, no more... thirty years old, wearing a wig of white, showing that He was supreme,

God,

"The Father hath committed all judgment unto the hands of the Son."

Hallelujah.

The revelation is never wrong.

Speak it anyhow,

no matter what it sounds like:

goes right with the Word.

IT IS WRITTEN

“Once more the world will hear direct from God

as at Pentecost;

but of course that

Word Bride

will be repudiated as in the first age.”

INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.title SHP.LA V-2 N-15 65-1125

We’re entering the raptured age.

---------------------

That's the Truth.

That's

THUS SAITH THE LORD.

“This Laodicean Age ends in a blackout of the Word.”

“We have a

final repudiation of the Word

the World Church system.”

FOURTH.SEAL.THE.title JEFF.IN 63-0321

The antichrist refuses the true Bride doctrine.

(“The final voice to the final age.”)

HARVEST.TIME.title PHOENIX.AZ V-18 N-6 64-1212

He's coming for it, a Word-vindicated Bride.

Oh, she'll be such a little bitty group.

HARVEST.TIME.title PHOENIX.AZ V-18 N-6 64-1212

The secret coming of the Lord Jesus,

She'll be taken away.

And the rest of them go right ahead preaching, just like it was in the days of Noah,

"Glory to God, we got It (Hallelujah.)"

and

sealed to their death.

That's what the Bible says, and It can't fail.

"The rapture's already,

^and

you didn't know it."

“They don't want it.” – “They won't listen to it.”

(“The final voice to the final age.”)

SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW.title JEFF.IN. V-2 N-22 63-1110M

The Third Pull was the last pull of the range.

Is that right?

HIS.UNFAILING.WORDS.OF.PROMISE.title PHOENIX.AZ V-15 N-3 64-0120

This is the great and final pull

“Now we can see again why the devil hates the Books of Genesis and Revelation.

He hates the truth.

He knows the truth will prevail.

He knows what his end will be.

How he fights that.

But we are on the winning side.

(I mean the believers of His Word, only)

are on the Amen side.”
