Pentecostalism
under the message:
Korah and company
CHAPTER FOUR
<Now
Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the
son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of
Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
And they
rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and
against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the
congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore
then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying,
Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause
him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come
near unto him.
This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the
LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he
shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.> (Number 16:
1-7).
in the spiritual
May the Lord add a blessing to the reading of
His holy Words. We are on the subject again of, “Pentecostalism Under the Message: Korah And Company.”
“How does that fit in
to Pentecostalism, preacher?” You will see in a while. This is not targeting
some petty thing in our little congregation or a little church, although it
will apply. But what is going to be said applies to the entire message-world, every congregation, every preacher, every
believer and every one of us that are present because the Bible said that these
things happened for our examples that we should not fall after the same manner
of unbelief.
I
Corinthians
Hebrews
Brother Branham made a
great statement and we should not forget it. Especially in the endtime here
where God sent us a Moses.
Quote
W.M.B.: 48 We're taking
Now, do you know that
we were promised a Moses in the endtime? The Bible said,
II Timothy 3:8 <Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood
Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate
concerning the faith.>
Now, if we are going
to have Jannes and Jambres in the endtime here, we got to have a Moses. And
that Moses must have the truth and then we will have men resisting the truth.
And when they resist the truth we could identify
the spirit of Jannes and Jambres. And beyond a shadow of a doubt the
religious world resisted the truth that was sent by God through William
Branham. They are in the category of Jannes and Jambres. And there were two men
heading that. They were Oral Roberts and Billy Graham. The prophet of God typed
them out in ‘Spoken Word is the Original
Seed,’ as Jannes and Jambres. In another place he typed them out as the
blinding angels to
Quote W.M.B.: 54-5 The seeds has went forth.
The denominations is sowed; the Word's been sowed. See? And Jannes and Jambres,
…The Bible said these devils would rise up in the last days and would deceive the
people by these miracles and signs that they could perform. How you going to
know the difference? The Word.
(The Spoken Word Is The Original Seed 62-0318).
Quote: E-26 Then the two preachers,
the Angels, modern Billy Graham, Oral Roberts. Preachers... They had a message
for the world. So they looked toward
W.m.b.’s ministry of Moses, Elijah and Christ
Now, the ministry of Moses was repeated today
in the end time, in the ministry of the prophet, Brother Branham. He came with
three different ministries. Everybody should know that in the message: the ministry
of Moses, the ministry of Elijah and the ministry of Christ. People did not
know that very well and they don’t know how to divide that. Even up to today
the followers of the message do not understand how to divide those three
ministries. At one time the prophet of God preached as Moses, and another time
he preached as Elijah and then another time he preached as Christ: “I will ride
this trial again.” Thus they mixed up the three ministries all together not
understanding the difference.
One time Brother Branham was to preach in a
church and a woman arose and prophesied, which was a true prophecy. She said,
“Thus saith the Lord, the spirit of Moses, the spirit of Elijah and the Spirit
of Christ will minister to us within three months time.” He sanctioned that
prophecy.
Quote
W.M.B.: 40 Before that, a little woman stood up in the meeting, a Baptist woman
come over there not knowing what she could do. And she was standing in the
midst of the meeting, and the Holy Spirit fell on her, and she begin to speak
with tongues, a Baptist woman from the First Baptist church at Shreveport; and
then she didn't know what she had did. And then before she could say anything,
the Holy Spirit give the interpretation, said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD,
'Within three months there'll be the Spirit of Moses, Elijah, and Christ,
ministering in this tabernacle.'" There
it happened, perfectly. (The Revelation Of Jesus Christ 60-1204m).
Now, people never understood that. The early
ministry of the prophet was like unto Moses. And then he advanced to another
ministry, which was the Elijah ministry. And then a little later he advanced to
the ministry of Christ, Son of Man revealed. (Luke 17:30). We went through that several years ago. I do not want
to cast my pearls before swine. This is for us.
That is why it is so important today to
identify the journey of the church and its present position. Not
How do we know that was our Moses? Because,
he had a pillar of fire, and a pillar of fire accompanied Moses and the
children of
Prophets are born: gifted with
visions and dreams
Jeremiah 1:5 <Before I formed thee in the
belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified
thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.>
Now, they are born in a certain way, born
with a certain gift and that gift is down in them to see visions, and dream
dreams, and look back into people’s lives, maybe a hundred years, and tell
their house numbers and names. That was why when Saul lost his donkeys he said,
“Isn’t there a prophet around here?” They knew where to go. And he went and met
Samuel. He said, “Where are my father’s donkeys?” He said, “The donkeys are
already found, and your father is worrying about you but I have business for
you. Stay here all night.” (I Samuel
9:6).
He was going to be ordained king. A little
donkey raiser was going to be ordained king and the prophet knew. So, anything
that happened, they always asked for a prophet. They said, “Where is the
prophet?”
Do you remember the three kings that were in
the desert? Three mighty kings were going to fight a battle, and water ran out
and they said, “The Lord brought us here to destroy us. Isn’t there a prophet?”
And one fellow spoke up and said, “There is a man called Elisha. Let him come
forward.” And when the prophet came up there, he was so defiant of Jezebel’s
son that he said, “Were not that I regarded the presence of Jehoshaphat, I
would not even turn to see you.” You are talking about defiant and bold men.
But one said, “Nay prophet, we are begging you. God brought these three kings
with all their armies to kill them. Say something.” He was born that certain
way. A prophet is not a preacher or a joker. He is in direct communication with
Almighty God. And certain ones are born in order to interpret God’s Word and
that is why they are called seers. A
seer means a divine interpreter of the Word of God. Elisha was angry and he
said, “Bring me a minstrel,” which is a singing group. After they started
singing, the Spirit of the Lord came back upon him and he contacted Almighty
God from the seventh heaven. He said, “Thus saith the Lord, dig this valley full
of ditches for I will fill it with water, and that is a small thing: I shall
deliver the army of the Syrians into your hands.” He turned his back and walked
away, back into the wilderness. Not for a prize, not for money, nor anything.
God spoke through him. That’s a prophet. (II
Kings
When
God sent William Branham, he was ordained a prophet before he was formed in his
mother’s womb. God foresaw him and wrote Malachi 4:5&6. And when he came
here people wanted to contend with a man of God like that. You’re mad. God saw
him twenty-four hundred years ago and ordained him a prophet, as Elijah the
prophet. Who is the dog that will rise up to say, “I disagree with Elijah the prophet. I have a better idea. I am
getting more revelation and I could change the Word of God?” You will end up
where Korah ended up. When God sends a prophet upon the earth, every man is
wrong and he alone is right. That’s the way that we understand the Word of God.
He is right and everybody is wrong. There isn’t a scholar to change what he
said.
Talking about the
Moses ministry. And Brother Branham was given a pillar of fire and two signs.
Moses was given a message; William Branham was given a message. Do you see how
perfect that is? That pillar of fire led Moses and led Brother Branham all the
days of their lives. They were sent with a certain mission, and the mission of
Moses was to lead the people to the Promised Land. The mission of William Branham was to lead the people to a
spiritual land, which is another outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Anybody that
misses that great message on ‘The Token’,
and don’t understand that there is another outpouring of the Holy Ghost to
come, they missed the message of William Branham as
Quote
W.M.B.: E-15 And
I said, "Sir, I could not go. Moses had one sign with his hand."
Yeah.
He
said, "Now, …you take your hand and lay it onto the people. Don't think of
what you're going to say, and It'll call what they have. Then if you'll be real
reverent, humble…He said, "it'll come to pass that you'll know the very
secret of the people's heart." And said then, "If they won't believe
the first sign, they will believe the second. (The Revelation That Was Given To Me 60-0210).
Quote: E-69
How many remembers that in the beginning when I'd have to take the person's
hand and lay it on mine, you'd see those things happening, how many remembers
that? How many remembers that I told you that the Lord told me it would come to
pass if I'd be humble and sincere, that I would… reveal the secrets of the
hearts. If they didn't believe that first sign like they did of Moses, the
second sign would beyond.

The message
That is right through the message. People
don’t study the message, and they don’t put the Word down in their souls, and
when a little uprising comes up in the church, and some heresy arises, they are
gone with it because they never got the Word down in their hearts and they are
troubled.
Now, the mission of Moses was to lead an
exodus out of
So, if we look at our map here: "come
out of
I
Corinthians 10:4 <And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank
of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.>
I like to think about that. People thought
that the rock was bringing the water. It was coming out of Christ’s feet and He
is the fountain of Living Water. It was coming straight out of Christ’s feet
and passing through the rock. Where was that rock going to get so much water?
Behave yourself. The Bible said that Rock was Christ. The water was coming out
of our Lord. Just like He fed five thousand with bread and fish, and crumbs
were taken up, so our Lord stood on that rock, and water kept coming out, and a
great river was created in the desert, and people, and animals and everything
drank. It had to be a big river. That is our God. So now, we are still drinking
from that Rock, and many people are drinking around the message and many of
them are anointed. Many of them are still tasting of the message that Brother
Branham brought to us.
Now, in my humble assessment and opinion, I
believe that the present situation and the present position of all the message
world and message believers, (I have reasons for saying this), that we have
come to the hour of Korah, Abiram and
Dathan, who are now functioning under the message. Think of what I am
saying. So now, you see I am not dealing with some little, petty thing to bring
down somebody in some little church. I am dealing with the whole message world,
I am dealing with the message, I am dealing with the prophet and I am dealing
with spiritual things. We don’t have time with petty things. Who wants to go to
hell, go to hell.
As I often times said, when the Lord said,
“Moses and Aaron, step aside. I will kill all these people with one breath as
one man,” beloved, I don’t know if I have that kind of patience to drop myself
in the middle. I would have said, “Lord, Thy will be done.” Do you know that
got Moses into trouble afterwards? Did you ever hear a man advised God and give
Him a better advice? Hear what Moses said,
Numbers
Now
if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have
heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
Because
the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto
them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
Hear the answer that the Lord gave. He said,
“As I liveth the whole earth shall be filled with My glory.” In other words,
“That would not take away My glory, Moses.” He said, “But in this matter I
hearkened unto you. I will pardon them.”
Numbers
But
as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the
LORD.>
He said, “As I live the earth shall be filled
with My glory.” Brethren, backsliders leaving the House of God don’t stop the
glory of God. If a man gets up, and live like Judas and does the things like
Judas, that don’t stop the glory of God. As the Lord liveth the whole earth
shall be filled with His glory. Yes. I tell you. The Lord only showed me that a
couple of hours ago while reading my Bible. Now, Moses’ idea seemed to have
been a grand idea that the Egyptians shall hear about it. And God rebuked Moses
immediately by this statement. He said, “As I liveth the whole earth shall be
filled with My glory.” In other words, “That
would not hinder me, Moses.
Eventually the world shall know about My
glory.” Thank God for His Word, thank God for His revelation. After reading
the Bible for years, my brethren, I never understood that until today, that God
rebuked Moses. I often thought, but that’s a grand idea of which Moses advised
God. But then I have seen today where God withstood his advice but yet gave him
his way. He said, “I hearkened to you, Moses. Go ahead and do it.” Those same
people got him into trouble. Who God wants to kill, let Him kill. He knows who
should die and who should stay alive, friends. I am but just a man. I know
Moses had to play out that part because he was playing out the part of Christ.
The Bible was being written and the Spirit of Christ was in him, and I know
that has its place. But those same people got him into trouble.
My brothers and sisters, I am persuaded that
we have reached, the church has reached, the followers of Malachi 4:5&6,
those followers of William Branham have reached to the place identified in the
book of Exodus and Numbers: Korah and his company. “How did you arrive to that,
preacher?” I arrived to that because the prophet of God in 1965 preached a
message called, ‘The Anointed Ones at the
End Time’. And he said that false anointed ones shall soon arise after his
ministry.
Quote
W.M.B.: 183-4 {45} Did you know there will be false
christs arise in the last day? It should follow immediately after this great message that this
brother will speak, that will actually come, be anointed in the spirit of
Elijah, immediately. (The
Second Seal 63-0319).
Now, these men that we are looking at were
anointed men but they were false. That was the next thing on the agenda. I will
make reference to a little vision of which all of us are familiar, that the prophet
of God had seen, where a man was dressed in white and went around the earth
sowing seeds. That was the Son of man with the good seed. Immediately after
that, the sower in white turned his back, a man dressed in black came and sowed
seeds wherever the seeds were already sown. That is your false anointed ones.
The prophet of God made use of that same vision in the book called, ‘The Anointed Ones at the Endtime.’
The prophet of God knew exactly what was on
the agenda. Now brethren, if Korah, Abiram and Dathan are on the agenda, is not
Kadesh Barnea on the agenda? And if Kadesh Barnea is on the agenda, is not
taking the Promised Land on the agenda? [Congregation
says, “Amen!”] I am telling you that taking the Promised Land is on the
agenda. What I am preaching must come to pass. Yes. What I am saying is the
truth. That’s the message of the hour. We must
have an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
We are living in the hour of the false
anointed ones. That is why E.O.D.H. (Exposition of Damnable Heresies) went out.
Notice, there came a certain time in Jesus’ ministry where the false anointed
ones had to be exposed. That was before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and
before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit Judas had to be exposed. And as we
come closer to the Promised Land there will be uprisings. So, the false
anointed ones had been in the message and under the message for many years now.
Since the days of the prophet when he was alive they were afraid to move but
then, soon after he turned his back, these false anointed ones came on the
field, and they went sowing their seeds of discrepancies and heresies wherever
the prophet of God had already sown, seven times around the world. That is as
clear as a whistle. And that is why you have divisions in the message and that
is why you have heresies: hence E.O.D.H.
has gone out to expose these heresies and heretics. Somebody’s got to be
standing, and there are true children of God. There is a real fivefold ministry
outside there that is exposing these false anointed ones. So, right now we have
many false anointed ones on the pulpit. We are not talking about one fellow
over here and another fellow over there. I am talking about ninety and five
percent or ninety and nine percent. They have taken over the pulpits, and they are now carrying the message of
the hour; men with nasty hands, men with nasty lives. And sometimes they may
even surface at
JUDATARIAN
GROUP - HUNDREDTH MILLIONTH'S OF A HAIR
Quote
W.M.B.: 103 He'll go along with the Message for a
while, but he just don't want to put his hands too much on it. See them
spirits? Jesus said, "It'll be so close to the real thing, it'll deceive
the very elected," elected, if you'll notice it, "if it was
possible."
…We
got now the Judatarian group, which is far more treacherous, far more
treacherous, coming right up into the very hands of the blessing. Just like in
Hebrews 6 and 10, how he said, "Having once made partakers, and has tasted
the powers of the world to come, and has done all these thing… and then if they
have received the knowledge of the truth, and then if they willfully turn
away"
…he
accepts Jesus as personal Saviour…And he gets sanctified. He can shout, praise
the Lord, and do some things too, go out and do things. Remember, Jesus said
that type would be there at that day. "Many will come and say, 'Lord, have
not I prophesied (preached)? Have not I cast out devils in Your Name?'"
Jesus
said, "I didn't even know you, you worker of iniquity." See, there
they are.
…We're
coming to making the hundredth millionth's of a hair, right down to the sharp
edge of the Gospel. (Hearing
Recognizing Acting On The Word Of God 60-0221).
So now, if you noticed in this journey, they
withstood Moses in
Satan’s
mission: devour souls – deny token
Now, these false anointed ones have one mission in mind and that is to explain away
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The men that arose under Moses had one
mission and that was to explain away the land of promise. Notice that all their
murmurings were: “You have taken us out from the land of milk and honey.
So now, their unbelief was hinged on the
land, and where the unbelief is hinged today is on the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit and that will divide the foolish and the wise virgins. My God! So, Satan
used all the men that arose under Moses to explain away the promise of God,
which was the land. The false anointed ones believe in water baptism, a woman
should not preach and they believe all the fundamental doctrines, but when you
come up to another outpouring of the Holy Spirit they want to claim that they
got that in so-called Pentecost in 1906. They lied! It was the biggest lie ever told, that Pentecost
returned in 1906. When the enemy comes around he has one purpose in mind and
that purpose is, and Jesus told us the purpose of the devil. He said, “The
enemy come not but for to steal, and to kill and to destroy but I have come
that ye have might life and have it more abundantly.”(John 10:10).
O, the Words of the Lord are so gracious.
Satan does not come around to make joke, friends. When you see an uprising in
your little churches there in Africa and in
When you see an uprising in your assemblies
over there in Africa, India and wherever you are hearing this on tapes,
friends, whenever you see confusion, and strifes start to come, and doctrinal
differences, and everything, and you see a man rises up with something, be
aware, be conscious, don’t look at that as some little something. The enemy is
coming to get innocent people involved that don’t have the Word. And when he
gets them involved he is trying to devour their souls, he is trying to get them
to take sides with the wrong thing and lose their first faith. And when they
take sides with that they are devoured. You are going to see this story right
here. Yes. The story is right there. Every message church worldwide is always
under attack. While you are sleeping and everything seems to be peaceful, Satan
is planning. And this is what the prophet of God taught us on, ‘Christ Is the Mystery of God Revealed’.
He said, “Now you are a lovely bunch of people. You love one another and
everything is nice but Satan will not leave it that way. He will send someone
in, and let him sit down in the quietness of things and then he will shoot that
person with some poison stuff.” Hear the advice of the prophet: “Take no sides with it! That poison acid
of malice, and jealousy and hatred will take Christ right out of your life.
Take no sides with it. Stay with you pastor for he is ordained to lead you.”
That’s it.
SATAN WILL
BRING SOME UNBELIEVER IN – SHOOT HIM WITH
SOME POISON
STUFF
Quote
W.M.B.: 12-1 Love one another above everything. Love
one another... No matter what the devil tries to say... Now, you're all one great,
big, sweet group now, but remember my warning. See? Satan won't let that stay
that way. No, sir. He'll shoot everything, if he has to bring somebody in to
make his target. He'll bring some critic or unbeliever in, set him down, and
cause him to fellowship with you under the quietness and things. Then he will
shoot that guy with some kind of poison stuff, and he'll start through the
church with it. Don't you take sides with it. Don't you have nothing to do with
anything else. You stay right loving and sweet and kind to one another. Pray
for that man that he'll be saved too, or that woman, ever who it is. Just pray
for them and stick one with another and stay with your pastor. See? He's the
shepherd and you give him respects. He'll lead you through, ‘cause, he's
ordained of God to do so.
(Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed 63-0728).
Quote: 13-1
That's right. Stay right together. If the brother, you think he's a little
wrong, or the sister, say, "Lord, don't let me ever have the root of
bitterness spring up, 'cause it'll affect him, and it'll take the Christ right
out of my life." That poison acids of malice, and jealousy, and hatred,
that'll just take the Holy Spirit right away from you. It'll run Him from the
Tabernacle here. It'll kill the Spirit of God or drive it away from here, hurt
your pastor; it'll do everything. See? Don't you do that. You just wax that
much closer together. Draw up the... Take the buckle, as the brother testified
(a minister here the other night) about having a buckle (seeing it in a vision)
That buckles on the whole armor of God; just put it on, tighten up, move right
up close to one another. Love one another anyhow. Talk nice about one another.
Say nice things about one another, and then God will bless you. (Christ Is
The Mystery Of God Revealed 63-0728).
Why
people Wilfully choose the wrong preachers
Now, but people don’t heed those things, they
think they are bright, they want to hear for themselves: “And the pastor is
wrong and the brethren are wrong.” Go ahead, friends, check it out. And people
have different reasons for taking the wrong sides even because they have the
world down in their hearts, and they want an excuse, a legitimate excuse to
leave. Look how many excuses that the people had, who followed Moses. They had
all kinds of uprisings from the
Quote
W.M.B.: 302-78 In this Tabernacle here, when things
go wrong and you men and you women will run and go over somewhere else, or lay
out till the little fuss or the stew is over, there's something wrong with your
experience. That's right.
(Hebrews Chapter Seven 57-0915E).
Church
uprisings
Now, saying that about the people around the
message,
Lucifer and his angels, and Michael and his
angels fought, and God intervened and kicked down Lucifer and all his angels,
and they dropped down in
Quote
W.M.B.: 29-6 Notice, while that group is a-riding,
making themselves ready to stomp out everything that won't agree with them,
there's another group being made ready after while: Revelations 19. The next
time the Church is heard, She comes also, not upon exactly horses,… And those
two meet one another on the battlegrounds: Lucifer and Michael again, like in
the beginning. (Feast of the
Trumpets 64-0719M).
Now, that’s the spirit of the devil. When you
see war breaks out, relax. Do one thing: take sides with Jesus. That’s the
advice of the prophet. He said, “Draw the buckles together and the one who
Satan is using, he will either become one of us or he will go out.”
Quote
W.M.B.: 12-2 Now, do you remember that? The enemy will come. And when he does,
just cling that much closer together. And the one that the devil is using for
an enemy will either get out or come in and be one of you. That's all. (Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed
63-0728).
Simple like that. But people without divine
revelation: “I want to stay out of this confusion.” Yes. You don’t know what
you came to. You were looking for a
social church and you better join the Catholic Church that Satan has fully
taken over. And there are certain assemblies that Satan has fully taken over.
You need to go and join them. Let me tell you something, brethren, you will
always have war in the Christian church. There will be uprisings here again as
we move closer to the token. There were uprisings under Moses, uprisings under
Jesus, uprisings under every prophet of God and every true
I have helped, by the grace of God, many of
them. They said, “Brother Bruce, what to do? What to do about this?” I said, “Do
thus and thus and thus. Preach the Word of God; bring it to a showdown.” “You
mean to say, bring it to a showdown, Brother Bruce? The church might be empty.”
I said, “It is better you get rid of the goats. You might be left with five
sheep but then you will have less work.” They said, “Amen. I am going to kick
out all that unbelief, Brother Bruce.” And they are obedient there in
As we move closer to the token, the token’s
land I will call it so you will understand the type, you will have greater and
greater manifestations until this church here that follows the message reaches
to Kadesh Barnea. And when we reach to Kadesh Barnea we will have the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So now, while you are at rest Satan is plotting
how to devour a few more souls. One soul is worth to the Almighty more than the
world, and he knows how it pains the Almighty, so if he could catch one soul he
rejoices. Yes. And the Lord said,
Luke
For
from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two,
and two against three.
The
father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the
mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in
law against her daughter in law, and the daughter
In
law against her mother in law.>
It will set the family in disarray. You may
say, “I thought that you were supposed to unite our family?” Yes, it’s supposed
to unite the family but all the family may not be elected, all the family may
not mean Life above everything and God will bring it to a showdown. God will
call every person to a showdown. And when He calls for that showdown they will
have to show their colours. It might be your father going, it might be your
mother going, it might be five of the children going and five staying, but the
Lord said, “I have come to put enmity and I have put a sword.” What is He
doing? He is pulling out His elected from that household. He always does.
He sent down two angels, and over here
And some people have these sodomite spirits
upon them: visiting the pubs, secretly going to the dancehalls and sit down
under the Word, under the message. And when these things happen now they get a
chance to say, “You see? It’s a cult.” God will judge you, you hypocrite:
making the House of God a cult to get out of it to fulfill your worldly
ambitions and desires. God will curse you. God knows the hearts of men.
So, we are dealing with Korah and company.
All right! It shocks the little churches, the little assemblies around the
world when somebody rises up, and speaks blasphemy, and just turns back in the world, and even fights the message and calls
William Branham a false prophet. It’s here in your Bibles. That should not
surprise you. These things happened for our examples. Now, look at the position
of Korah. We haven’t seen anything yet. Korah was a man that left
I will like to look at that picture again
when we get over, to see how the waters stood up on both sides. That was a
fantastic miracle. How that ever happened? But I content myself: the God that
holds the moon and the sun without posts since He created them was able to hold
the waters from coming back. And
And this man after he had seen the
Satan’s
tactics – how the devil devours souls
How
does the devil come to devour your soul? He has to have certain people murmuring, and you start hearing their
murmurings and then you agree with the murmurings. The person must have some
influence; they must have some respect from you. This is not a strange thing to
us. This is the way the devil moves. They sat and they heard. What was the
problem? How on earth Korah could have done such a thing: to talk to Moses in
such a manner? How on earth two hundred and fifty princes could have followed
that man? How on earth Abiram, a great priest could have followed him? How on
earth the people could have listened to this man under a prophet, and a church
standing there with the pillar of fire over it and the cloud over it? And when
God wanted to talk to Moses He called him over, and in the sight of all
Hebrews
You are talking about the deceit in the
hearts of men. You are talking about wickedness in the hearts of men. “What was
it that caused that, Brother Bruce? What was it that ever caused such a great
man to backslide, to come up against the message, Brother Bruce? Tell us. Why
was it that after a man had seen all of that he could have actually behaved so
rudely to the prophet?” It bothers people up to now: how a man could rise up in
the little churches and carry away a number of people unto death. First of all, Satan must get upon them, and when
they become demon possessed, they change from one man to the next. It is
written of Judas, “And Satan entered into Judas’ heart.” Because Jesus had
exposed him, he was not willing to repent, and when that happened Satan entered
into the heart of Judas Iscariot. Jesus said, “What thou have to do, do
quickly.”
John
Do you think Jesus was going to cry? Now, He
knew Judas came from hell and was going back to hell, that was why he was
murmuring for three and a half years, and was a thief stealing the money from
the money bag.
The Lord bless you, Brother Watson, if you
are tuned in. Brother Asserwathan, Brother Nissan, Brother Solomon Burt, my
precious Brother Kenny Mc Gahee and all there in G.C.C., our brethren in
The
And that bothers the church how a minister
could stand behind the pulpit, and preach and then fall in adultery. How he
could turn around and blaspheme and turn down the message. How they could rise
up and say Brother Branham was wrong here and wrong there. If the Lord gives me
grace, I will preach another message on something like that. There are certain
men that have risen up to correct the
message, to correct the "errors" in the message, to extend the
message and to reveal what Brother Branham did not reveal. They are a bunch of
heretics and liars. They think that they are equal with Brother Branham.
What turned those people, friends; and it was
not him alone. He was carrying down a lot with him; thousands of people
followed this man. He was a ringleader. And if you notice that when God was
speaking, He was speaking of Korah because he was the ringleader, a man of
influence, a false anointed one like we have today behind the pulpits: false
anointed ones in the endtime. So, this man was anointed, he was a priest, he
was a gifted man and he had a position in
Friends, whatever
is in our lives, we ought to have laid it on the altar when we got baptized. This man ought to have left all those
things in
Sometimes we look at
things on the surface, but then the real problem is unbelief. They do not
actually believe. You preach something in the Word and people do not care
anything about fulfilling that. Why? You say, “How that brother could have
behaved like that? You called him by the deacons, you disciplined the man.”
Yes, but the thing is unbelief. He does not believe this promise is coming. He
does not believe all the Bible. He does not believe all the message but he
would not confess that through his mouth. Yes. Brother Branham said, “You do
those things because you do not believe.”
Quote
W.M.B.: 63 And what is sin? I'd like to stop here
just a moment. Many people think smoking cigarettes is a sin. It isn't. Many
people think that lying is a sin. It isn't. Committing adultery, that isn't
sin. That's the attributes of unbelief. The reason you do those things is
because you are an unbeliever. (Oncoming
Storm 60-0229).
Yes! You are an unbeliever. Oh yes! How on
earth these princes could have let a man arise, and influence their minds? How
the people could have allowed Korah to influence them? How Abiram and Dathan
could have allowed such a thing after seeing what they seen? After they heard a
man spoke for God. After they heard him bring the Commandments. After this man
was the meekest man upon the earth, and God sanctioned that, and God said, “I
do not talk to Moses like ordinary prophets. No! No! No!” He said, “I speak to
him, lip to ear,” and they knew that. How on earth could that have happened?
Cherish wrong habits in life
Brethren, unbelief in people. How these
princes could have allowed such a thing? What kind of tactics that Korah really
used to convince Abiram and Dathan, poor fellows, against Moses? It had to be a
terrible kind of tactics. He had to use lies. Maybe he went talking to Miriam.
Oh yes! Maybe he went talking to people and telling them that they were not
justified, because Moses leaned on his staff and judged
So now, when the enemy comes to destroy and
to kill, he employs lies because he is the father of lies. That is the way that
he fights. Yes, that is the way he fights. Now brethren, let us get down to it.
The only way that Korah could have gotten a following, was that after all what
the people had seen, they cherished many things of the world in their hearts.
Listen to that properly, brethren. And some of them thought that they should
have been better used by Moses, and they had that in their "craws"
from
Now, when you cherish things in your lives, friends, certain
things will rise up in the church, and you will have to make a decision what
you are doing with them, because you will hear the Word of God calling for it,
and the more you refuse to give that up is the more your heart will be
hardened, and when your heart becomes hardened the devil is going to come to
destroy, he is going to come and kill, he is coming to steal souls. O yes! Then
if that does not work, the devil is going to raise up somebody to talk to you.
He will use a mouth to talk to you.
So now, the only way
that this great company could have followed Moses; they were a bunch of
dissatisfied people with the ministry of Moses. And people came under the
message but they are dissatisfied with the holiness message, and the holiness
standards lay down by William Branham, yes, because they want the things of the
world, and they want the things that they used to follow in so-called
Pentecost.
So first of all, when
they heard the message they disagreed with certain things. “Well, I do not see
anything in sports.” And they will go out and play sports. “I do not see
anything in wearing a tight dress. I do not see anything with a television. I
do not see anything in this, and I do not see anything in that high heeled
shoes, after all it is not so high.” Now, tell me if that is not the picture
today? It is the very same thing. Why would the prophet command all these
things in the holiness message, and why people have broken the Word in such a
defiant way? They have broken the Word of God in that defiant way because they never accepted it. It is their
unbelief.
They do not even believe that there is another
Outpouring of the Spirit. No, they do not want an Outpouring because they want
to enjoy the world. There are people that wish that the Rapture does not take
place in a hurry. Because they want to spend out the money that they made, and
enjoy the new house and they want to complete their university education. So,
not everybody that is under the message is yearning for an Outpouring and the
Rapture. No. They figure that they are going to lose out; they want to get that
girl and marry her in three months.
So friends, this
message is saying, whatever is in your
heart you better get rid of it otherwise you will end up with Korah and his
company. So now, since the people did not want to adjust to all the message of
William Branham, the false anointed ones were sent out by Satan to lead those
dissatisfied people. So, you have thousands of assemblies around the world and
who ever is dissatisfied with the holiness message, then you have a preacher to
shepherd them, to keep that kind of flock, and that is what is going on.
So, these people had to be dissatisfied. They
had unbelief down in the heart. Some of them had skepticism against Moses. Yes.
Some were speaking evil of Moses already. Some did not like Aaron and they were
jealous of his position. So now, Korah came in as a pretended deliverer. And he
came in as a pretended deliverer; from a cult. In other words, “We followed a
cult. We followed a heretic.” That was the summary. “We followed a cult. I do
not know how I got my family into this, Brother Abiram. Brother Dathan, I am
the one that talked you into leaving
How could those princes turn? They were
dissatisfied with the Word of God; they were dissatisfied with the ministry and they were borderline believers,
towing the line. Yes. Sceptics, talking about the message when they went home,
of what they disagreed with and what they agreed with, and what they did not
like. Yes, friends. And what the ministry should have done, and the decision
they should have taken and how they should have treated Miriam. They were a
"bright" people. Oh yes. I could go into a long something here but
you could imagine the rest. But this man was using his influence, this man
became demon possessed, this man was being used of the devil to swallow and
devour souls. He must have come as a deliverer, like Satan in the Garden of
Eden, bringing more knowledge, bringing more understanding. What were the
tactics that he used to persuade these people? It was not an easy thing to
persuade people under a prophet. No. People with these things in their lives
were going to hear it; they were going to accept it. They were looking for
something like that. Yes! Their hearts were bad hearts. They were wicked in
their hearts and they had unbelief in their hearts. These people were wicked
people, fussing and finding fault with Moses, yes, did not like Moses’
decision. The meekest man on earth and some of them hated the man.
The devil arose with
gifted men, like the false anointed ones today, and these are the men that are
causing the trouble around the world in the message. People do not realize it,
and then they are so dumb, they say, “Do not preach against anybody. All of us are one.” You are a dumb
preacher. The prophet preached, ‘Anointed
Ones In The Endtime.’ Where are the false anointed ones? They are behind
the pulpits today; and your love gospel is covering-up the false anointed ones,
and shading the false anointed ones but E.O.D.H. is exposing them, therefore we
are of God.
I John 4:6 <We are of God: he that knoweth
God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit
of truth, and the spirit of error.>
Now friend, Korah finalized in his mind,
after contemplations and not believing that the Outpouring was going to come, the
Token’s Land, and he concluded that “I have followed a cult.” He became a
sceptic of the Word. When he believed that he followed a cult, the man started
thinking of Moses as a man who lifted up himself. And Korah went out with such
influence to convince the people that Moses was wrong, that there was no Token
coming, there was no Outpouring coming, no land we are going to get. Yes! It
was unbelief. Maybe he consulted Miriam. She had a little grouse against her
brother. And after they heard one or two things from the mouth of Korah, it
opened up their minds to be more observant to Moses. In other words, “Korah, I
really seen what you are saying. I had full confidence in that Moses until you
spoke to me. I really see how he is partial. Can you think his own sister does
not respect him? And you know we heard the story of this black woman that he
married? That was a terrible thing. And do you know how that story went,
Abiram? Everybody looked at Moses as a holy man; the whole congregation is
holy. That man committed a terrible crime in time past. He went to fight down
in
Miriam picked up that
too. She spoke evil of Moses because of the Ethiopian woman, which was the
Cushite woman. She was a Negro woman. Blind guides forgot to realize that, that
marriage took place before Moses was saved and God winked at his ignorance. But
she found it fit to bring up the man’s past, for her own convenience. It was
jealousy. She became possessive of her brother, possessive of her brother’s family.
She wanted to be like a tabret in their sight, and be in their house every day,
and if she could not get that kind of a pampering and petting, then she was
going to stand off, and influence her brother. That is how the devil moves,
children. You should know all of that already. Yes. They went back in history
and picked up these things.
Bedding ground before a fall
So now, when he anointed Korah, little did
they know that when they started listening to Korah, friend, that anointing
from that demon was falling on them, changing their vision and changing their
understanding of Moses. But do not forget, they had a bedding ground for it.
You got to have a bedding ground before you turn against the Word. You got to
have a bedding ground before you come against God’s servant. You have to be an
unbeliever, a skeptic; you have to be a nasty man and a nasty woman. You’ve got
to be full of hatred and malice, and ungrateful for what God has brought you
to. That is the only way it could happen. You got to have secret sins in your
life, so, you are happy for a man like Korah. “Yes, Brother Korah, I remember
the day that Moses stood up on the pulpit and rebuked me. Boy, that hurt me.”
Yes. “Sister, I was just looking and I felt so sorry for you.” You Absalom,
devil you.
The seals are opened
today. “You know what I will do, Brother Korah? Do you think this is a wise
idea? I will leave off certain days of service. I used to be a slave under that
church. I never missed one service. You know what I will do? I have a wedding
to go to on Sunday and my husband wanted to take me out on the beach. What I
think is that I got a little brainwashed.” “Ahh! Sister, you caught the
revelation. Moses has brainwashed the people.” The same man that was saying the
people were brainwashed. He was brainwashing them away from the Word of God.
Yes. Brainwashing.
You want to call
deliverance out of
“So, I will leave off
one or two days of service there, Brother Korah, because I had been a slave to
that church. Anything that Moses told me I just ran and did. Yes. I never
understood these things until you spoke to me last week.” This was a build up
you know. It was building up to a showdown. So now, Korah was working like a
serpent in-between, and he was gathering support. So, he got a man with him
called Abiram; he got a man called Dathan. Oh my! Their alliance was getting
great, and then they persuaded two hundred and fifty princes, renowned men, the
Bible said. Men of renown. And after they got them, friends, they started
getting the people, thousands of them, tens of thousands of them, and they
brought them together, and everybody had one voice, and they came under that
influence that, “We followed a cult.
We should have stayed over in
So, the influence
spreaded. See? Is not that the same spirit, children? Is not that how it works?
[Congregation says, “Amen!”] The
seals are opened today. I am preaching seals revelation over here in the Book
of Exodus. These things do not fool us. We are a people that understand the
opening of the seals. This should not alarm us, friend. No! We are prepared.
Yes sir! "Brainwashed."
So, you had a bunch of
skeptics now that were going to follow Korah. Abiram went and influenced his
congregation that he led under Moses. He went over there, my brother, to take
them out because he was the one that led them under the message. But he was not
able to do it. A lot of people brought you here, but they cannot take you out.
God used them as vessels of dishonour and then broke the vessels. You cannot tell
God what to do. There are vessels of honour and vessels of dishonour.
II Timothy
And those that brought you here cannot take
you out, unless you love the world or you love the things of the world, and you
are hearing some kind of a skeptic or you are hearing some kind of a cult talk
somewhere. It will possess your soul. Yes, the devil.
So, Korah was anointed.
And there were three great men: Korah, Abiram and Dathan, and they were
talking. Oh yes! Nobody had seen them talking but they were getting ready for
Moses, and they were pretending to be deliverers amongst the people. Oh yes!
They persuaded many people against the man called Moses; picking on his life,
picking on this, picking on that. Certain people were getting wroth against
Moses. They had a murmuring habit in any case. So, they started murmuring, and
when he had a good gathering, men of influence, princes, singers, priests,
Levites, he felt strong. Yes. The rest of the congregation did not know what
was going on but there was a faction,
there was a division going on, yes, Satan was moving by his tale and he was
going to pull down a third of the stars.
So, they yielded to
the spirit of Satan. Why? Because of unbelief, because of sins in their lives.
Yes, hate. They hated Moses, hated Moses’ family and were jealous of Moses’
family. They were upset with correction
that took place long before. They had a stand off, they did not like the
strictness of Moses, and then when Korah arose they thought that they got a
chance back at Moses. They thought they were going to make Moses ashamed. “We
will show Moses that he needs some correction too.” Oh my!
And friends, we have
heretics around the message, that follow the message, and they turned against
the message but they use the name of Brother Branham. Yes. Even because they
want the world. They have become like organizations and they want the money instead
of the salvation of the sheep. Now, little did this bunch know that was
listening to Korah and thinking they were getting revelation…? Yes. It was a
great company. Secret meetings were going on in their tents. They were moving
by night. They were dodging Moses, and one contacted the next, and the next one
contacted the next, yes, and all those dissatisfied people they said, “Didn’t
you hear this? You know Moses is a backslidden man that we are following, and
he really thinks that he is somebody and he is like a lord over God’s people?”
Yes. “Korah. I tell you. God raised up Korah to deliver us. Yes. Korah is an
anointed preacher, he is a great man, and you know who said that? The princes
you know, two hundred and fifty princes.” Friends, these people were getting
ready to pay with their souls for being influenced by Korah, Abiram, and
Dathan. They were going to pay with
their bodies and pay with their souls. Yes. I will like to read that again.
So, when Korah and his company now, going on for month’s maybe… Turn back to
Numbers 16, it is beautiful. God could say it better than I could ever. It is
so fantastic. After he had them all influenced and set up now, a day came,
friend that he was going to attack Moses. You are going to see the disrespect
to Moses. You are going to see when a demon gets upon men and gets upon people,
how they behave. They thought they had it all set. So now, let us look at the
Word.
Showdown tomorrow
Numbers 16:1 <Now Korah, the son of Izhar,
the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab,
and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men.>
The men that they took were already
influenced. The spirit of the devil had already jumped from these Korah, Abiram
and Dathan, and jumped upon these people. They were fully influenced.
Numbers
16:2 < And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of
When the devil moves, he moves with mighty
men, spiritual men, gifted men, preachers, priests.
Numbers 16:3 <And they gathered themselves together against Moses
and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you…>
“Moses, you. You, you Moses.” Let me
demonstrate that. Don’t think they went over like lambs. Can you picture them?
These leaders were in front, two hundred and fifty princes surrounded them, and
the people, my brother, were standing behind by the thousands and this man was
anointed enough. This man who could not even look upon Moses’ face one time, he
was so anointed now, and he could have walked to Moses. He said, “Moses, you
take too much upon yourself.” Yes. In other words, “You are showing off now. You are a dictator. You are ruling over
us, you are a dictator. Yes. You think you know everything and nobody don’t
know anything.”
Numbers
16:3 <Ye take too much upon you…>
“Every one of us, all the backsliders, all
the black birds, they are holy. There is not an unspiritual man that is
following.
<…every
one of them, and the LORD is among them.>
The Spirit of the Lord was there because
Moses was there...
< …
wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?>
Now, when Moses seen that spirit manifested, and
the disrespect and their argument, Moses knew what was going to follow next.
Numbers 16:4 <And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face.>
He knew that wrath would have come. Whenever people rise up against God’s
servant, that is trying to be sincere and honest and follow the Word, wrath is
determined, souls are going to be destroyed and Satan is ready to devour souls.
Numbers
16:5 < And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to
morrow the LORD will shew who are his…>
Moses was even doing this to deliver the
people.
<…and
who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath
chosen will he cause to come near unto him.>
Yes! Tomorrow, yes, God is going to have a
showdown. Do what you want today. God has a showdown. He said, “I will tell you
what to do. Bring up your revelation, take your censer, bring up all your
interpretations and bring up all your heresies.”
Numbers
16:6-7 <This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
And
put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it
shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too
much upon you, ye sons of Levi.>
These men were Levites, brethren, not the
ordinary priests. They used to carry the
Numbers
16:8 <And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
Seemeth
it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from
the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of
the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister
unto them?>
They were jealous.
They wanted a higher position. They
were not satisfied; they were murmuring against Moses, yes, they wanted to be interpreters
too, like the heretics around the world. They are not satisfied just to be
ministers. They want, my brother, to be interpreters of the Word. They want to
show you where Brother Branham was wrong. Yes. That is a devil’s spirit. They
want to come against the prophet, and say the prophet should not have said
this, and the prophet should not have said that and the prophet should not have
done this. You shut your mouth. When God sends a prophet, he is right and everybody is wrong. When God sent Moses, he alone
was right and everybody was wrong. When God sent Moses, he alone was right and
Korah was wrong, Abiram was wrong and Dathan was wrong.
Nobody has a right to the interpretation of
the Word of God. I do not care what university you came from. I do not care
what devil is talking to you. You say anything contrary to that Word and
contradict the message of William Branham; your father is the devil. If the prophet of God said, “take your
moustache off,” off it goes. Yes sir! If he said a man should not wear a dress
and a skirt, it stands that way. Yes. If he said that our children should not
marry unsaved men and women that stands that way. If you do contrary to that,
you are an unbeliever in the message of the hour. I do not care what great
position that you have as a minister. Yes. That is what the Bible said.
Friends, little did these people know that Satan was coming for their souls.
They were very jubilant. They thought that they had the victory today over
Moses. Now, they were going to "do for" Moses. “Let us get together
and crush Moses once and for all. He
has exalted himself above the congregation for too long.”
Numbers
Hear this, brothers and sisters. Watch this demon.
Numbers
Disrespect and defiance to god’s
servant
Brethren, you see the defiance? You see the
disrespect? You see how a man could turn from a lovely minister and a priest,
from one night to the next? “We are not coming up there; you are not God to
call us when you want. Who are you? I am not obligated to you. Every one of us
is holy. Every one of us is hearing from God. God spoke to me last night.” You
devil! God is coming to show who are His.
Numbers
16:12-13 < …We will not come up:
Is
it a small thing that thou hast brought us up…>
(They are talking.)
<…out of
a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except
thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?>
“I was happy. I was happy in my sins. I was
happy in my organization. I had the Holy Spirit. I had truth. I received the Token
there. What they had on the Day of Pentecost, I received it in there.” You liar
you. Yes sir! “It was the land of milk and honey.
Numbers 16:14 <Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth
with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou
put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.>
“We are not coming to talk it over. There
isn’t any Token coming. There isn’t any Outpouring coming. You fooled the
people, making them look for an Outpouring and a Token to come. Now you are
calling us up again. We will not come up.” Yes.
Numbers
16:15 <And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou
their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of
them.>
You see the servant of God? You see that,
friends? Now, he could have leaned back on that. He said, “I have never even
taken a donkey from them.” Yes. He said, “I have never hurt one of them in all
my journey, and these men treat me like an enemy.
Numbers
16:16-18 <And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the
LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
And
take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the
LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron,
each of you his censer.
And
they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon,
and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and
Aaron.>
Beloved, there is coming a showdown tomorrow, and this
showdown is going to show who are the five-fold ministry and who are not the
five-fold ministry and who are ordained, brethren, to burn incense in that
certain court. The big thing was that they wanted to burn incense where Aaron
was burning incense, and God said, “It does not appertain to you.” A man got
leprosy one time for that. Yes. They wanted to burn incense where the high
priest was burning incense. They were not satisfied. They were full of pride
and ambition, and Moses said, “Come, bring your censers, bring it, and burn
your incense. Let us see who God will honour.” And there is coming a day, just
tomorrow, everybody will bring their revelations together, and God will show
who are His ministers and who are not His ministers.
Numbers
Saints, the glory of the Lord will appear
soon, by another Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Yes.
Numbers
saying,
Separate
yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
And
they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all
flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?>
Brethren, one man sinned: Korah, and mixed up
all of those people, and God became so angry that He said, “I will kill
everybody.” About two million people. “I will kill every one of them.” Talking
about when God becomes angry.
Leave the tents of the false
anointed ones – death is imminent
Numbers
Speak
unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah,
Dathan, and Abiram.>
And let me say this to the world today: come out of the tabernacle of the false
anointed ones. Come out of the tabernacle of Korah, Abiram and Dathan, for
God is getting ready to destroy these heretics and unbelievers. Yes. Get up out
of the tabernacle of Korah, Abiram and Dathan.
Numbers
16:25-26 <And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders
of
And
he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of
these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their
sins.>
Yes. So, the people
who were deceived, friends. When they heard the preaching of the gospel some of
them came to their senses. Yes, and he said, “If you want to be saved, get away
from these wicked men’s tents.” Come out of their churches. If you want to be
saved, leave the false anointed ones’ churches. Leave these heretics. Put down
their literatures. Put down their books. Yes. Stop studying their heresies,
wherever you are.
Numbers 16:27 <So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan,
and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the
door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little
children.>
Think of that, friends, what a father could
cause his family, by following the wrong thing, and having the wrong assessment. Their wives,
brethren, their children, brethren, their little ones, their grandchildren,
their little ones: pretty teenagers, nice girls, nice boys. They had no
revelation. They did not understand what was going on but they wanted to side
with daddy. They wanted the flesh support: mummy.
Numbers 16:28-29 <And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD
hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own
mind.
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they
be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.>
That was a prophet talking. Yes sir!
Numbers
16:30 <But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and
swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into
the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD>
When you come up against
the message, you come up against the Word. You want to change what William
Branham brought to us. You want to call his name in defiance. You want to speak disrespectfully. In days of
Brother Branham hundreds of people died. I met personal witnesses. Brother
Branham never spoke of it on tape very much. But I met preachers that said, “I
could show you hundreds of graves of people that came up against Brother
Branham and they are dead and buried today.” Witnesses I am talking about. Yes.
These men provoked the Lord. They never provoked Moses, they provoked the Lord.
Numbers 16:31-35 <And it came to pass, as he had made an end of
speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
And
the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all
the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
They,
and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth
closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
And
all
And
there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men
that offered incense.>
And there came out a
fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered
incense. Yes friend, these heretics will die with the revelation when that
Outpouring of the Holy Ghost comes, and when that
<And there came out a fire
from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered
incense.>
To follow a heretic is death
It is a terrible
thing to follow a heretic. Terrible thing, my brethren, to follow anybody
that speaks evil against the message of the hour, that tries to change the Word
of God and will become defiant. Take no sides with that and the command is:
"separate yourselves from the tents of these wicked men," and that is
my message today. Any uprising in Bethel, any uprising in India, any uprising
over there in Africa, the Philippines, around the world in the message,
separate yourselves from the tents of these wicked men. Korah, Abiram and
Dathan are right now functioning under this message and that is the present
situation of the church. There is a little more to this message. We have to
bring it down to Kadesh Barnea, to show you before they entered that Land, how
damnable it got before they hit that Land, and the church will travel the same
journey. Yes. It will come down to the place where they take our houses, and
take our lands and call for our very lives. And there will be betrayers right
among us that will rise up like Judas and give us a kiss of betrayal.
But today we are
giving him a sop, to identify Judas, and the sop is identifying Judas. When
people hear the Words of Life and know what the prophet of God, Brother Branham
said, and friend, they want to walk contrary to that, there will arise
something to take them away, but the elect will stand firm. There were those
that stood with Moses. The elders stood with him, and friends, the people stood
with him, and they were right behind Moses and they stood firm. That is the
group that we belong to. Yes. We are following this message down to the letter.
Be careful with any
mouth that speaks evil concerning the Bible, concerning the message, concerning
the ministry and concerning a man of God. It
is death. Yes. The bad thing with that, brethren, was that those people,
their bodies did not only die, they went to hell. My God! Those little
children; I hope the Lord saved them somehow. Jesus confirmed that. He said,
“Your fathers did eat manner in the wilderness, and they are everyone dead.” (John 6:49) The prophet of God said
that, “That means eternal separation from God.”
Quote
W.M.B.: 178 And God never did forgive them. He
destroyed them right there in the wilderness. And Jesus said, Himself,
"They'll never come; there's none of them saved." Jesus said...
They
said, "Our fathers eat manna in the wilderness for forty years."
He
said, "They're every one dead (eternally separated from God). They're
every one dead." Certainly. Because they listened to an error. When Moses
a-vindicated of God and a leader to show them the way to the promised land, and
they had come so far all right, but then they wouldn't go along with him. (Modern Events Are Made Clear By Prophecy
65-1206).
They died and they went to hell. Those people
that went to hell, their souls have been in prison for those thousands of years
awaiting the White Throne Judgement to be cast into the lake of fire. It does
not pay off, brethren.
Humble your souls before god
Let us humble
our hearts, humble our minds, brethren, humble our souls, brethren. Yes. Put
down these things of the world, brethren. Put down your malice, put down your
hatred, put down your enmity, brethren, put down your fusses, put down your
murmurings, brethren, put down the things that you love and you cherish. God is
going to call for it. If it is sodomy, He is going to call for it. If it is
adultery, He will call for it. Fornication, He will call for it, friend. And if
you love those things more than Life and the Word, you will put up a fuss. You
will want to kill the minister. You will want to put him in jail. You will run
down his name. You will tell lies, beloved, throughout the country. That is
what you will do. Yes, all because you want to safeguard the things that you
love, because wheresoever a man’s treasure is, there will his heart be also,
and if you treasure the wrong things, that is where your heart is going to be.
Yes. And the Lord could never come down and bless you.
