SEAL.OF.GOD.title  LONG.BEACH.CA  61-0216

Cain slew Abel.

 

HEBREWS.CHAPTER.7.PT.2.CHURCH.ORDER.title  JEFF.IN  HEB  57-0922

You don't have to stick a knife in a man's back to kill him;

you can break his character and kill him,

kill his influence.

Speak against your pastor here,

 say something bad about him, you just might as well have shot him;

told something that wasn't right about him,

well, it'll kill his influence with the people and things like that, and you're guilty of it.

What Jesus said.

 

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

They thought,

 "We don't have to listen to you; we got pastors."

 Sure they didn't have to, but he was their pastor anyhow.

 He was Jezebel's pastor.

 She didn't want... She might've had a different kind, but--but God sent;

 he was.

See?

He was God's sent pastor for her.

She hated him, but he was pastor just the same.

 

MALACHI 4 1-6

1       For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

2    But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

3    And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the LORD of hosts.

4       Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.

5    Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

6    And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

 

1

FLASHING.RED.LIGHT.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-4  63-0623E

Jezebel refused to hear the Word of the Lord.

She wouldn't want to call that old fuzzy-looking preacher,

 Elijah, her pastor;

 but he was her pastor anyhow.

That's right.

 

2

PAINTED.FACE.JEZEBEL.title  CHICAGO.IL  56-1005

Oh,

 she didn't want to call Elijah her pastor,

certainly not.

 She had other formal, dignified men for her pastor.

But God sent Elijah to be her pastor,

no matter how much she hated him.

 

3

LIFE.title  BANGOR.ME  58-0519

Jezebel hated her pastor.

Her pastor was Elijah,

but he told her what was going to happen.

 She had to listen anyhow.

 She wouldn't accept him as the pastor, but God sent him as the pastor

He was God's pastor.

 

4

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

  Jezebel is the type of the modern church today,

 'cause Catholic and Protestants are joined together now.

 Right.

There is no getting around it.

 They're both denominations,

 so it's--so it's just mother and sister. That's all. They fuss and argue with one another, but it's the same thing, both harlots.

 Now, I'm not saying that myself.

 I'm quoting from

THUS SAITH THE LORD.

 All right.

 

5

FAITH.IS.THE.SUBSTANCE.title  OAKLAND.CA  47-0412

He was even Ahab's pastor.

 

6

SEAL.OF.GOD.title  JEFF.IN  V-26 N-4  54-0514

Ahab,

a borderline preacher,

[OH THAT IS STRONG, BROTHER]

or a man who was on and off,

just like a lot of lukewarm church members today, people,

 on and off:

 

7

SUPER.SIGN.title  GRASS.VALLEY.CA  JJ 141  62-0708

Notice what taken place.

They had great men in them days; Joshua, a king; they had David;

they had a Solomon: great men.

But finally it worked around till they got a renegade on the platform,

Ahab,

a lukewarm believer.

[OH THAT IS EVEN STRONGER, BROTHER]

 

“He was even Ahab's pastor”.

8

PAINTED.FACE.JEZEBEL.title  CHICAGO.IL  56-1005

But he was God's pastor to the nation in them days,

Pastor Elijah the Tishbite.

And so they wouldn't listen to him. But they said he was a little off.

 

9

WHY.CRY.SPEAK.title  CLARKSVILLE.IN  59-1004E

He was pastor Elijah

 

(“Elijah was a prophet to all nations”). - FIFTH.SEAL.

 

10

RESPECTS.title  JEFF.IN  V-13 N-4  61-1015E

God let the dogs eat her in the street.

That's right.

Because what?

She disrespected

the message

that Elijah was preaching.

 

11

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

  Notice the very day when this messenger, not when he starts on the,

but when he begins to declare his Message.

 See?

The First Pull, healing; Second Pull, prophesying;

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

-------

And remember the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth

that's been sealed in the Word.

 

12

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

So I've got my mind set on this Message.

That's that Third Pull,

and it's the one I must be loyal and reverent to.

13

THEN.JESUS.CAME.title  JEFF.IN  57-0407E

Standing there when that morning star hung yonder on the river,

 twenty something years ago when

 He said,

"The Message

will sweep the world."...

[THIRD PULL IS THE MESSAGE]

 

14

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

Been that way in every age;

every age reject the message before judgment.

Have they done it again?

 

15

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

"As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ,

you're sent to forerun the second."

 

16

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

Now, that's been many, many years ago.

And exactly what It said has come to pass to the dot.

 

17

TRYING.TO.DO.GOD.A.SERVICE.title  JEFF.IN  V-4 N-8  65-0718M

And that's the reason you can't bring the Message to a denomination.

 The Word, the Ark, Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, and all of His identification, you can't bring It to your organization.

They'll never believe It,

because there's no room for It.

Don't the Bible say He was outside the church of the Laodicean age trying to get in?

 

“She disrespected the message that Elijah was preaching”.

“God let the dogs eat her in the street”.

 

18

FLASHING.RED.LIGHT.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-4  63-0623E

Jezebel

refused to hear the Word of the Lord.

[THIRD PULL]

 

19

FLASHING.RED.LIGHT.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-4  63-0623E

Elijah stood alone out there on the mountain.

God said,

"Elijah, don't think that.

I've got seven thousand down there that's honest in heart yet."

That's his second pull,

and the

third one

went back for them.

 

20

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

God said,

 "I'm going to open up one of the Seals and show you something."

 Said,

 "You know, I got seven hundred back there that ain't never bowed a knee or joined any of them creeds yet, denominations.

 There's seven hundred of them ready for the rapture.

 See?"

 Oh, oh, He said to His prophet, who He reveals His Word to

(See?),

through the Scripture,

 "I have seven hundred prepared names yet out of this generation, seven hundred of them. They have not bowed their knee to any

(if I'd say it in this day)

 religious organizations and come creeded up in them."

 

“Cain won't see Me, but you will, Abel."

 

21

SEAL.OF.GOD.title  LONG.BEACH.CA  61-0216

Cain slew Abel.

22

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

But what did you do?

You killed the prophets that I sent to you.

You murdered them.

And the

Messages has been sent to the church today

 has been murdered by their denominational dogmas.

 The Scripture has been murdered by their dogmas.

Jesus said, "If you'd only knowed your day; but it's too far now; it's too late now."

 So is it with the churches.

I do believe with all my heart she's passed redemption. No matter what you want to think about it, it's your own opinion; this is mine. See? You don't have to have my opinion. But I believe she's passed redemption, and has been for the past five or six years. I remember--you remember Chicago. Watch what's happened since then, and watch it keep on happening. See? Remember, my name is before it; it's stuck out there; it's THUS SAITH THE LORD.

See if she hasn't dropped continually.

 

23

HEBREWS.CHAPTER.7.PT.2.CHURCH.ORDER.title  JEFF.IN  HEB  57-0922

Speak against your pastor here,

 say something bad about him,

you just might as well have shot him;

told something that wasn't right about him,

well, it'll kill his influence with the people and things like that,

 and you're guilty of it.

What Jesus said.

 

24

MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE.title  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-13  65-0221M

And I had just got through speaking of a great, powerful, forceful statement that even the overseer (one of the general overseers of the Assemblies of God) stepped down to the platform from up in the balcony where he was setting, and he said,

"I don't believe that Brother Branham meant that."

I said,

"I have to mean it, sir.

It's THUS SAITH THE LORD."

you just might as well have shot him”

25

FIFTH.SEAL.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0322

They realized they'd murdered their Messiah.

 See?

And they didn't know it, but then they realized.

They got--they got murdered back to pay for it, for doing the wrong.

And now, look what a thing they had to do.

See, they was guilty of murder, so they got murdered.

 

“God let the dogs eat her in the street”.

 

“She disrespected the message that Elijah was preaching”.

 

[THE THIRD PULL HANGS OUT THERE BEFORE THEM]

26

ASHAMED.OF.HIM.title  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-9  65-0711

Like the other day on this trip to Africa,

I was so sure that I was moving in the will of God.

 

27

ASHAMED.OF.HIM.title  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-9  65-0711

And so I, when I started to go over, I'm telling you, I never had so much trouble in all my life of trying to get there. And then at the very last minute, very last minute to go, here was wrote across my visa,

"Cannot anticipate in any kind of religious service; can only come hunting."

 

28

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

And I've been trying for nine years to get back,

but on the account of the organizations and so forth they won't let me back.

So I wrote them a letter recently and said,

"Then let the blood of those lost souls be on you and not on me."

 For I believe that God was--been wanting to use my ministry over there for those people for some time.

And by their denominational difference

they won't let me come back.

 

you just might as well have shot him”

29

ASHAMED.OF.HIM.title  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-9  65-0711

And so I wrote them a letter back, and told them that.

 I said,

"Remember,

 at the day of the judgment,

let them boney hands reach out of the smoke, condemn you.

 Their blood be upon you, not on me,

'cause I've tried for about ten years to get back."

 

“God let the dogs eat her in the street”.

 

“She disrespected the message that Elijah was preaching”.

 

30

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

"Lord,

 why is this judgment upon us when You said that there'd be a rapture first?"

He will say,

"It's already come,

and you didn't know it.":

 

31

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

But you remember when He took me up there and said,

"This is that third pull,

and no one will

know it."

You remember that?

Visions never fail.

They're perfectly the truth.

 

32

SPIRITUAL.FOOD.IN.DUE.SEASON.title  JEFF.IN  V-8 N-7  65-0718E

But the Lord gave me what I should do in my Message.

But then He said,

 "Do the work of an evangelist; make full proof of your ministry, for the hour will arrive when they will not endure sound doctrine."

 If that hasn't come now!

Every church denomination has turned me down,

they wouldn't endure sound doctrine.

 

“Cain slew Abel”.

 

33

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

And now,

 on persons like ourselves,

we're going to be cut out of all that altogether.

 That's exactly,

 because they won't be able to do it.

 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.

 

34

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

The third pull has now been vindicated,

and I'm sure you all know what it is.

“Cain won't see Me, but you will, Abel."

35

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

Now,

 remember,

there'll never be any impersonation of that,

 'cause it can't be. It cannot be.

Now, it's in existence,

 and I have--I am warned of this, that soon, right at this time now,

 it's just happened,

so it could identify its presence among you.

See?

But it will not be used in a great way,

 until this council begins to tighten up.

And when it does, when that does...

 The Pentecostals and so forth can almost impersonate anything could be done,

but when that time comes,

when the squeeze comes down,

then you'll see what you have seen temporarily,

be manifested in the

fullness of its power.

 

 

36

THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE.title  PHOENIX.AZ  V-19 N-5  65-0125

  And we know how peculiar that Scripture reading was,

 because He just took a portion of the 1st and 2nd verses of Isaiah 61:1 and 2.

 But He read down this far, where, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me to bind up the broken-hearted, and to--to give--heal the sick, and to open the blinded eyes, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord," and then He stopped.

For the next was to bring judgment; that would apply to

His second coming,

not His first coming.

 

37

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

Day before, I took a rock and throwed it up in the air, and said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, The hour is here;

judgments will start into the earth.

Earthquakes and everything will be taking place.

38

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

  Notice the Scripture so accurately gives it. Watch what this... to show the...

them who wants to believe,

them who wants to see.

 Remember Jesus stopped in the middle of a Scripture,

 'cause part of it was fulfilled then, the rest for His Second Coming?

"To preach the acceptable year of the Lord, bind up the brokenhearted,"

 and stopped;

not

"bring judgment to the Gentile"

 until His Second Coming.

 

when the squeeze comes down,

then you'll see what you have seen temporarily,

be manifested in the fullness of its power”.

[JUDGMENT]

 

Behold,

I will send unto you Elijah the prophet before the coming of that great and dreadful day of the LORD:...

(Just before that day, the return of the Lord,

Elijah will come first.)

 

THANKS BE UNTO TO GOD FOR PASTOR ELIJAH!

 

 

AMEN.
