“There wasn't no--wasn't no planes up there”.

 

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

Went west for the blast,

returned back to the east with the Holy Spirit interpreting this unwritten Word.

 Now, if that isn't perfectly the God Almighty, I want you to know what is.

 What am I trying to say this for, friends?

Is to show you we're at the end time.

 

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

Not knowing

(of course, being spiritual, you watch spiritual things)

--not knowing this, God knows it.

 But if you'll turn and look at the clock, it's on the dot 2 o'clock:

 the end of the Second Pull,

the

 Third Pull is at hand.

 

TOKEN.THE.title  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-19  63-0901M

At no other time could this

type of a message ever happen.

 It could not have come in Luther's day,

 couldn't have come in Wesley's day;

 it couldn't even come in Pentecostal day.

 It couldn't do it.

THIS IS AN ACCOUNT OF EVENTS SURROUNDING THE “HIGH MYSTERY CLOUD” THAT APPEARED ON THE 28 FEBRUARY 1963.

 IT HAS CAUSED MUCH CONTROVERSY.

AN EXTRACT FROM THIS REPORT WAS DOCUMENTED FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

Cloud in "Life Magazine" 1963

 

“Now this entire controversy began when some make-believer challenged the idea of Bro. Branham hunting the Javelina in Arizona on Feb. 28, 1963, as was widely preached at that time, and still to this day by some that will not accept Bro. Branham's words.
The challenge was issued because research shows that the hunting season did not open until March 1, 1963; therefore "some prophet you all have, out there hunting illegally."
The only place you will find 02/28/63 is attached to the published photos that would be in Life, Science, and others. We will come back to those later.
The plain facts are that Bro. Branham was NOT hunting out of season, that was not his method, nor would it have been the method of Gene Norman (one of the two hunting partners) who worked at that time in a sporting goods store where hunting licenses were sold.

Most of this that you are reading is printed in Only Believe Magazine, under the title: The Road to Sunset.
And I might add here that when that was printed, it did cause controversy and even outrage in some. One man in particular almost lost his mind over the issue.
Others have quietly continued their opposition but not with any blessing.

To get the full picture, let us focus on Jan, 1963:
Bro. Branham moved his family to Arizona in January 1963, at midterm in the school year. One of the first things he did in Az, was have Billy Paul send out announcements for "preaching the Seven Seals in Jeffersonville, March 17 - 24, 1963".
Later, Bro. Branham promised Bros. Fred Sothman and Gene Norman that he would go Javelina hunting with them at the area of Sunset, north of Wilcox, as soon as possible near the opening of the season.
And then thirdly, Bro. Branham received an invitation from his long-time friend, Raymond Hoekstra (Chaplain Ray) to be present at a prayer meeting in Houston, Texas, on March 4, 1963.

Bro. Branham felt very impressed to accept the invitation. The case was that the man who took the original Halo photo in Houston in 1950, Ted Kipperman, had a nephew and his girlfriend who had been involved in a robbery and a man was murdered. The kids were already found guilty and now they were facing the death penalty and thus the need for a prayer meeting to intervene for them.

So, the pressure was mounting on Bro. Branham with these and other obligations coming in from different directions, at about the same time.

Of at least eight occasions that Bro. Branham tells about the Javelina hunting trip in Arizona in 1963, on
three of those accounts he says, "But first I went to Houston." And we know by the tape catalog that would have been on March 4.

So, Bro. Branham and Bro. Gene Norman rode in one car and Bro. Billy Paul and his wife in another car, and the drove to Houston, Texas, for the Monday night prayer meeting of March 4, 1963. Bro. Billy Paul continued on to Jeffersonville to make sure the church remodeling was on schedule for the upcoming meetings.


Bro.Branham and Bro. Norman left immediately after the service on Monday night and drove all the way back to Tucson, approx. 1,100 miles (one way), putting them home on the afternoon of the 5th of March. On the 6th they would take off early for the area of Sunset Mountain, get their camp set up, and ready for hunting on the 7th.
In the many accounts Bro. Branham says "I already had mine (his Javelina) and so we were hunting for Bro. Fred's (Javelina)." This indicates that they hunted for Bro. Branham's Javelina on the 7th, and now on this hunting day (in question) they were busy looking for one for Bro. Fred, March 8th.

In the extensive interview we had with Bro. Norman, it was revealed that on the night of the 7th, they were all three around the fire and Bro. Branham was telling the brothers many things about their families. One item that he mentioned later that did not get put in the story (Road to Sunset): "Bro. Branham told us that the Angels had been there waiting for us for a week."

So, on March 8th, the hunters went off into three directions, promising to come back to camp before 10 am.

 

While they are out there, they all heard a very loud blast. And it is during this time that the entire story takes place as Bro. Branham gives the account many times.
When they came back together, Bro. Branham asked the other two, "Did you guys hear that?" He never asked them if they saw anything. Nothing more was said.

They finished the hunt, went back to Tucson, and then packed up and went to Jeffersonville for the preaching of the Seals.

During the first week of May, 1963, Bro. Norman was visiting at the home of his brother-in-law and he saw the May 17, Life Magazine on the table. While looking through it, he was attracted to the article about the mysterious cloud ring in Arizona. And he asked if he could borrow it. The next Sunday Bro. Branham came by to take the Normans to dinner and he saw the magazine and asked if he could borrow it. This would have been the first time Bro. Branham saw the photograph. On the tape Come, Follow Me, June 1, 1963, is where Bro. Branham mentions the magazine and the photo for the first time.”

Sonic boom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A sonic boom produced by an aircraft moving at twice the speed of sound

 An observer hears the boom when the shock wave, on the edges of the cone, crosses its location

The term sonic boom is commonly used to refer to the shocks caused by the supersonic flight of a military aircraft or passenger transports such as Concorde (Mach 2.03, no longer in service) and the Space Shuttle (up to Mach 27). Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion; typically the shock front may approach 167 megawatts per square meter, and may exceed 200 decibels. Thunder is a type of natural sonic boom, created by the rapid heating and expansion of air in a thunderstorm.

That blast went off.

Rocks rolled from the mountain.

That was predicted six months before it happened.

And rocks rolled off the mountain. And--and like the-

-like a breaker from an airplane,

 or something, and like the sound breaker,

=>that what it was,<=

only fifty times as loud.

There's no planes or nothing.

 Even the paper said there were no planes up that day at all to break that sound,

like that.

IS.THIS.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR.title  JEFF  V-2 N-11  62-1230E

I could see those Angels,

 those shaped-back wings traveling faster than sound could travel.

They come from eternity

=>in a split like a twinkling of an eye,<=

not enough to bat your eye, just a twinkle.

They were there.

 

“There He is with them Angels”.

JOHN 1:1

  1       In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

  2    The same was in the beginning with God.

  3    All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

  4    In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

TOKEN.THE.title  DALLAS.TX  V-19 N-12  64-0308

This could not have come in the days of Luther.

 It could not have come in the days of Wesley.

The days of the Baptists or Methodists in their day, it couldn't have come.

 It has to come now.

Israel has to be a nation.

 The churches has to be like they are now.

 There had to be a third message, a third church age.

 There had to be a Laodicea.

It could not form until Pentecost come

and

shot their wad,

and went out and organized, and did what they did.

 Then it has to come,

Then

=>comes the Lord,<=

when they put Him out of the church.

He is the Word.

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

In--in Revelations 3 we find out the Laodicea church age put Him out.

 Now, see, it didn't back in the other ages, because there was something else yet to be made. It just passed through and went on to another.

 I told you all along, there's no more denominations coming.

We're at the end. And they put Him out, because why?

He--He-

-He's the Word again.

ESCAPE.HITHER.COME.QUICKLY.title  WATERLOO.IA  58-0202

  The next day we were fishing again.

 And we pulled up in a little cove to get some sunfish. And Mr. Wood's brother here Lyle, caught a little sunfish about like that, a little bream, I think you call them here. And the little fellow had swallowed the hook all the way down. So he just got a hold of it like this and just pulled him. He pulled stomach and gills and all out, the big hook, when it come out. He threw him out in the water. Little fish quivered a few times, and he made an expression like this,

 "Little fellow, you shot your wad."

[EXPIRED]

So the little fish laid there on the water, and the wind floated him back into a little cove. About a half hour, I was fishing, and all of a sudden, down through the hollow came the sound of a roar like come here the other night. Sun shining just as pretty as it is now, and when it struck where I was at, I raised up and called to the little fishy. Something said,

"Speak to that dead fish."

WHAT.SHALL.I.DO.WITH.JESUS.title  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-6  63-1124M

Brethren, there's from Genesis to Revelations the same thing.

That's what Israel done.

That's what Pilate done.

 That's what the whole thing done,

 always, from Eve till now, same thing.

They reject the vindicated Word and take a dogma instead.

That forms death, spiritual death:

dead.

The Word's still preached to the dead.

Exactly.

Won't be through the millennium now.

 See, they're--they're already preached to.

May be getting It right now.

 See?

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

And have we now come to the spot that the

Third Pull would return again

to the lost eternally?

 

“It could not form until Pentecost come and shot their wad”.

TOKEN.THE.title  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-19  63-0901M

Every spiritual happening is a sign from God.

 Be careful; notice that.

 See? Watch.

Every spiritual happening, everything that happens is a sign.

We're not here by accident.

 These things just don't happen by accident.

 It's a sign.

 

7

TOKEN.THE.title  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-19  63-0901M

The Message of the hour is a sign. Watch it.

Look what it's doing.

See?

 It's a sign. Everything has a meaning.

At no other time could this

type of a message ever happen.

 It could not have come in Luther's day, couldn't have come in Wesley's day;

 it couldn't even come in Pentecostal day.

 It couldn't do it.

 

8

TOKEN.THE.title  BAKF.CA  V-22 N-8  64-0208

And no other time could this ever be till now.

No other time could this message ever come forth till now.

 Jesus said,

 "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."

The

message

could not be till now.

  • “And in the days that we are now living in, there is a allotted Word, a promise for this age”.
  • 1965 – “It’ll come to pass”. – “You'll notice what them revealed, that great thunder a-coming forth out of the--out of the skies” – “But let's just wait till the time comes” –
  • “it'll be more in season”.

TOKEN.THE.title  BAKF.CA  V-22 N-8  64-0208

They knew nothing about it. The church will go on

thinking souls are being saved and everything else,

and the church is already...

The Bride's sealed away.

Don't know it.

10

RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-1  64-0726M

Remember it'll be a small flock that receives it.

Now, in the homeland waiting for the trumpets. Now, waiting for the going of there Bride so that Revelation 11 can be fulfilled.

The church age has ceased.

The Seals has been opened that prove what they left out in the church age.

 And the

Message

has been given.

 Israel is on the scene (Hallelujah.), ready for the feast of trumpets.

 

11

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.title  JEFF.IN  COD  62-0527

  The seeds will go in newspapers, reading material,

 until

every predestinated seed of God has heard it.

 None of them will come unless the Father's drawed them,

 and everyone the Father has drawed will hear it and come.

 That'll be the predestinated Seed will hear

the Word.

But there was no plane in the district.

The book says so here. They checked it.

13

TRYING.TO.DO.GOD.A.SERVICE.title  SHP.LA  V-7 N-2  65-1127B

And they thought of a plane;

 so they checked all the places, no planes up that day.

 See, they have to, on account of shaking windows and things.

 "There's no planes up."

[28 FEBRUARY 1963]

that they were taking pictures of that,

scientists was,

as the Angels lowered themselves from heaven

to bring

the message.

TRYING.TO.DO.GOD.A.SERVICE.title  SHP.LA  V-7 N-2  65-1127B

  Here it is in "Science" magazine, where they can't understand;

they don't know what It is.

Tucson, at the university, a friend of mine went over the other day and was talking to them about it. Said,

 "We can't understand what..."

I said,

 "Don't say nothing, don't do no good.

'Cast not your pearls before swine.'"

See?

It's to the church, to the elected,

the called-out.

 See?

 

16

WHAT.SHALL.WE.DO.WITH.JESUS.title  PHOENIX.AZ  V-22 N-4  64-0126

Oh,

sinful man or woman,

who are you that could rise up and say that It's wrong?

When God, with His Holy Spirit and promise Word, interprets It in the face of every one of us, who are we to say that it's wrong?

Oh, sinful person, how could you do that?

 "Sinful, what do you mean by that, Brother Branham?"

Unbelief.

There's only one sin;

that's unbelief.

[THEY DENY HIS COMING – THEY DON’T BELIEVE IT.]

17

WHAT.SHALL.WE.DO.WITH.JESUS.title  PHOENIX.AZ  V-22 N-4  64-0126

He also said in another Scripture that He watched over His Word to perform It: Perform It, reveal It to what?

His elected, to those that is sent to see--that's sent to see It, rather.

He performs It to those who are sent to see--to see It.

He watches over It,

keeps It away from all these foolish carnal interpretations.

 

18

WHY.CRY.SPEAK.title  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-26  63-0714M

Pardon this, but it's just coming up in me.

 I've got to say it.

 It was He that said that day up there on the side that woods,

"You have no game,"

and

 He created three squirrels standing there before us.

+

=>It was He that brought them into existence.<=

It's He.

It's Him.

Oh, my.

It was He that give the vision about a year ago that said we would go over there, and these Seven Seals and how they would be a great thunder that would start it off, and it'd be in the shape of the pyramid. And there the "Look" mag--the "Life" magazine's packed it--hanging on the wall there.

It was He that said that.

 

19

ANOINTED.ONES.AT.END.TIME.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-3  65-0725M

I was only standing there when He appeared.

I'm not the One that performs these things and foretells these things that happens as perfect as they are;

I'm only one that's near when He does it.

I was only a voice that He used to say it.

+

The Son of man is Christ.

 He's the One that you're feeding on. You're not feeding on a man.

 A man,

 his words will fail,

 but you're feeding on the unfailing Body-Word of the Son of man.

 

20

CHRIST.REVEALED.IN.HIS.OWN.WORD.title  JEFF.IN  V-4 N-10  65-0822M

It’ll come to pass.

 See?

 You'll notice what them revealed, that

great thunder

[SONIC BOOM]

a-coming forth out of the--out of the skies.

Now...

Of course, the whole bunch of you, you know that I know what that--what that means. You see? And... But let's just wait till the time comes (You see?) for it to...?... Now...

And it'll be more in season.

 

21

LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS.title  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-17  63-1229E

 It's tightening;

 and then when that time comes,

 and the press comes to a place to where you're pressed out,

then watch

(what I am fixing to tell you in a few minutes)

watch the third pull then.

It'll be absolutely to the total lost, but it-

-it will be for the Bride and the church.

 

22

WHEN.THEIR.EYES.WERE.OPENED.title  TAMPA.FL  64-0416

They knowed the Word as far as the letter was,

 but they didn't understand the Word when It was

literally interpreted.

 That's what it is today.

 Every man's got his own interpretation.

 

SIRS, WHAT IS YOUR INTERPRETATION?

 

23

WHO.DO.YOU.SAY.THIS.IS?.title  PHOENIX.AZ  V-6 N-9  64-1227

See, each had their own interpretation of the Word.

That's what--the reason Israel didn't recognize Moses.

 That's the reason the world didn't recognize Noah.

That's the reason all the prophets wasn't recognized.

They had their

own interpretation of the Word.

24

REPROACH.FOR.THE.WORD.title  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-16  62-1223

"Whoom,"

like a plane when it crosses the sound barrier.

You've heard it happen like that, just like a distant roar.

25

THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE.title  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-8  65-0219

"Today this Scripture is fulfilled,"

 and

they still failed to see It.

What a tragedy that that would be,

but it's happened.

 It's happened many times.

 How could it happen?

 Of course, like it did in other times,

 By

believing

man's interpretation

of the Word.

 That's what caused it.

 

26

WHO.DO.YOU.SAY.THIS.IS?.title  PHOENIX.AZ  V-6 N-9  64-1227

And they should've seen that.

But you see, their-

-their church world had so added here and taken away here and--and so forth,

until it was so messed up till they-

-they trusted in their church in the stead of

--of the Word.

Could it be?

 Is this the mystery of the thunders

that will bring back the Headstone?

 

 [1965]

 

“There He is

with them Angels”.

 

SIRS, WHAT IS YOUR INTERPRETATION?

[You would be right if you said what the tapes say]

28

EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY.title  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-3  65-0801E

Now,

remember,

the Bible predicted this ecclesiastical age of this Laodicean age was

blind.

 

29

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

All of a sudden,

I thought somebody shot me.

I never heard such a blast,

it shook the whole country.

And,

when it did,

standing before me was

seven Angels

in a cluster.

“I could see those Angels, those shaped-back wings travelling

 faster than sound could travel.

They come from eternity

 

30

EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY.title  JEFF.IN  V-12 N-3  65-0801E

God's predestinated that certain thing to happen and there's not another thing can take its place.

Don't care what it is,

 how many manmade achievements;

nothing can take its place.

 

31

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

In Hebrews 1:1, God in sundry times wrote the Bible by His own chosen way.

 He never wrote It by theologians; neither does He interpret by theologians.

 There never was a time that--that the theologians ever had an interpretation of the Word of God.

The interpretation comes only to a prophet.

And the only way we're ever going to get out of this mess is for God to send us that prophet; just exactly, the only way it's going to be done.

It's been believed, watched for, and the fulfillment...

See?

 It was not wrote by men, but It was wrote by God.

It's not a man's Book. It's not a theologian's Book.

 It's the Book of God, which is a Book of prophecy wrote by the prophets and interpreted by the prophets.

 The Bible said,

"The Word of the Lord comes to the prophets."

Exactly.

 

32

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

 Now, listen, don't miss this.

 The wisdom of Satan is exalted to the throne of worship in man

 Above

 the vindicated Word of God for the hour.

Our churches proves that by their--their seminaries, schools of learning,

 that's learnt more than God's Word knows about it,

 they think.

33

LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS.title  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-17  63-1229E

The third pull has now been vindicated.

 

 34

GOD.IS.HIS.OWN.INTERPRETER.title  BAKF.CA  V-8 N-6  64-0205

That's what's the matter in any age.

The Word of God is foreign to people;

 

35

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

"There's silence in heaven."

 No one knew.

It was the coming of the Lord.

"Oh,"

 you say,

"it can't be."

[You would be right if you said what the tapes say]

36

WHY.LITTLE.BETHLEHEM.title  PHOENIX.AZ  V-9 N-9  63-1214

Now, you say,

"That can't be."

Well, if you believe the Bible, it is.

 

38

WHY.LITTLE.BETHLEHEM.title  PHOENIX.AZ  V-9 N-9  63-1214

The Bible said, in the Laodicean church age,

 that Christ was on the outside of the church, knocking,

 trying to get back in His own church.

A fugitive is something refused, rejected.

And

the Word

[THIRD PULL]

and the Holy Spirit is rejected.

That's right.

 You can't get in there. If you ever receive Him, you got to get out of there to get Him.

 You got to go out to Him.

 He can't get in.

They're so set on their creeds that they--they won't let you preach them things;

 they won't let you believe those things.

MATTHEW 25:6

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

 

39

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

  I heard a Voice, said,

"That's the King's Sword."

I said,

"A king knights a man with a sword."

He, the Voice come back, said,

"Not a king's sword, but 'THE King's Sword,'

the

Word of the Lord."

Said,

Fear not,

 it's only the Third Pull.

It's the vindication of your ministry."

 

40

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

  You don't need a denomination to back you up.

You need the Word to take the rapture with It.

 [THIRD PULL]

 

41

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

That's what you're needing,

His Word.

 

 

Remember:

“Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed”.

Amen.
