07-14-13 AM John 5:39. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Malachi 4:5-6 Behold, I will send you ELIJAH THE PROPHET 2 Peter 1 16. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost The Message of William Branham Examine it. Test it.

THE ABSOLUTE THE CRUELTY OF SIN AND THE PENALTY THAT IT COST TO RID SIN FROM OUR LIVES_ JEFF IN FRIDAY_ 53-0403 Now, when this man, when He put him in his five senses... And then, the man, he was lonesome, so He made him a wife, a helpmate, taken from his side a rib and made a woman. A beautiful type there, all in type, of God taking from the side of Christ, the Bride. See? God opened up Adam's side, taken a rib; which, a man has one less rib than a woman in the structure of the body. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS_ JEFF IN COD THURSDAY_ 61-0112 I believe the hour will come when they'll actually find out that the world don't even run. I believe that with all my heart. I don't believe--how much they scientifically prove it or anything more. They done a lot of scientific proving they had to take back. See? God said the world stopped. I mean the sun stopped instead of the world (See?), the sun. I actually don't believe the sun does what they say it does. I know the moon travels, and I believe the sun runs also. See? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS_ JEFF IN COD THURSDAY_ 61-0112 Now, the star does not reflect its own light. The star reflects the light of the sun. Is that right? [A brother says, "No."] Huh? [In a sense. The moon does; the stars reflect their own light.] Yeah, the moon, I really mean that the moon reflects just the light. Now, if a star reflecting its light, then its light would have to come from God, because it is a glacier of some sort. Isn't it? [The brother says, "Sun..] Huh? A sun of itself, off of the sun. [The suns farther away than our sun.] Yeah. We're told that those suns come from the big sun. The sun throwed these missiles off and they're little burning missiles like the sun. So they're amateur suns to us. Is that right? Amateur lights. ["Some are... Most of them are bigger than our sun.] QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

I was watching Brother Demos Shakarian over there, when they was having hybreeding cattle, watch the test tubes, and so forth, being taken in by doctors, and watching these things. In the literal discharge of the male, there's somewhat a million germs comes forth from the male at each time. And somewhat a million eggs comes from the female at the same time THE FIRST SEAL_ JEFF IN MONDAY_ 63-0318 You know, Noah watched Enoch, for when Enoch come up missing, he knowed judgment was at hand. On 18 November 1302, Pope Boniface VIII issued the Papal bull Unam sanctam. This lays down dogmatic propositions on the unity of the Catholic Church, the necessity of belonging to it for eternal salvation, the position of the pope as supreme head of the Church, and the duty thence arising of submission to the pope in order to belong to the Church and thus to attain salvation. Consequently, all who wish to belong to the fold of Christ are placed under the dominion of Peter and his successors. Most significantly, the bull proclaimed, "outside of her (the Church) there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins. It declares that those who resist the Roman Pontiff are resisting God's ordination.The bull also declared that the Church must be united, that the Pope was the sole and absolute head of the Church: We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal. Thus, it was concluded, the temporal authorities must submit to the spiritual authorities, not merely on matters concerning doctrine and morality: Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff. Papal infallibility is a dogma of the Catholic Church which states that, in virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error when, in the exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians, in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole Church. Brother Fred Sothmann With his own eyes, he saw thousands of miracles. The blind received their sight. The lame walked. He saw demons run like scared rabbits. Like Peter, James, and John, he stood on top of the mountain to witness the glory of the Lord. He heard the thunder of the Seven Seals shake the country. He saw the Supernatural Cloud in the Arizona sky. He was there when squirrels were created. In the wilderness of Colorado, he saw the storm flee at the words of the prophet. For years, he served as Brother Branham’s trustee in his church. He continued on, becoming one of the first employees at Voice Of God Recordings, and again saw prophecy fulfilled as Brother Branham’s tapes circled the globe. With all that his eyes saw and all that was accomplished through his hands, what would Brother Fred Sothmann consider his greatest achievement in life? He was the prophets’ friend. Early this morning, our old friend went to be with the Lord. He was 98 years old. Brother Fred’s familiar “Amen” that Brother Branham liked so much is now being heard beyond the curtain of time. He’s reunited with his friends, his wife – He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a Martha, and his beloved prophet in the loving care of the prophet shall receive a prophet's reward... Lord Jesus. Genesis 20:3. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. 4. But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? 5. Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. 6. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. 7. Now therefore restore the man his wife; FOR HE IS A PROPHET, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. Numbers 12 1. And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2. And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it. 8. .... wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? WHAT SHOULD WE DO??? Matthew 24 4. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 1 John 4 1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 Thessalonians 5 21. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Revelation 2 2. I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: Luke 24 45. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: Acts 17 2. And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, 3. Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. 10. And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Revelation 2:15. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. MINISTRY Ephesians 4:11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: While administering the Mass he began to doubt whether the bread and the wine were actually being changed into the flesh and blood of Christ. First he considered these thoughts the whisperings of Satan; but he was unable to free himself through sighings, prayers, and confessings." After he had been tormented for about two years by his doubts he finally turned to the Bible and searched it for help on his problem. "I did not get very far in it before I saw that we had been deceived. In the Scriptures he found certainty regarding the Lord's Supper. He found that the view, which interprets the meaning of the Lord's Supper as being symbolic, was the Biblical one. Now he was torn between two authorities: the Bible and the church. Thus far he had avoided the use of the Bible, for he saw that the Bible had taken Luther, Zwingli, and others out of the Catholic Church; now he was on the same path. Which of the two authorities would win? He wanted to be loyal to both. In the meantime he found help by reading certain writings of Luther, who taught him that the Scriptures should have the first place. Luther also taught him that if violations of the tradition of the Catholic Church have a Biblical basis they can not lead to eternal death. Thus he began to place the Scriptures above the authority of the church.The thought of believers' baptism was now constantly in his mind. He "searched the Scriptures diligently and considered the question seriously but could find nothing about infant baptism." He also consulted his colleagues, the Church Fathers, Luther. In their writings he found various reasons given for infant baptism, in which "each one followed only his own mind." He saw himself deceived by all on the question of baptism. The Scriptures, in which he found no definite reference to infant baptism, convinced him that believers' baptism was the true Christian practice.
