EXPOSED:
A NEW ORDER OF
APOSTLES,
SEVEN THUNDERS ARE
SEVEN MEN
CHAPTER SEVEN
An apostle is one who is sent by God, and
who is set before a prophet (not the messenger) in the
I Corinthians
A false apostle therefore, is one who
acclaims himself, and usurps such authority without being genuinely called of
God to do so, even to the point of exalting himself above the prophet messenger
of the age.
They may
not openly claim that they are eighth messengers or Christ etc., but they
indicate that they are someone special, and specially gifted to interpret the
Bible and even try to show where certain teachings of the prophet, Brother Branham,
were not inspired, which is borne out in their books and by their teachings. It
is either they are too afraid or pretendingly humble to state their claims as
prophets, Christ, or Son of man revealed; but the essence of their very
ministry, teachings, emblems of dove leading eagle, and other projections,
indicate such self exaltations.
We will
now examine the claims of a self-proclaimed apostle from
This man, who claims to be a believer of
this message, proclaims himself an apostle, and that God called him as a
watchman and an apostle, to restore the apostolic foundation of the sure Word
of God in the church. He said that this was revealed to him in a spiritual
dream. The dream further revealed that his position, ministry and calling would
be “the first prize”, which he interpreted as being a top position in the ministry that he
would hold. He said that the followers of Malachi 4 do not have a proper
foundation, because they have substituted the Word for the quotations of
Brother Branham.
Quote
Richard Gan: “God has reaffirmed my prophetic teaching
ministry, and has called me, as an
apostle, to do the work of ‘restoring’
the apostolic foundation…Right in these last days, many end time Message
churches, too, do not have a proper foundation or have a shattered one at best.
The condition is caused by adding to, or taking away from, the sacred Word and
substituting the statements / quotes of Brother Branham for the Word.” (The
Foundation and the Wall, pages 37, 49).
E.O.D.H.: Comparing this with the Word
of God, neither Paul, Brother Branham nor any of the apostles were ever called
by a dream, but were supernaturally called by a burning bush experience, by
meeting the pillar of fire and being sent and commissioned by God. The foundation
of the early church was laid by the Apostle Paul, the first prophet messenger,
who said, “…as a wise masterbuilder, I have
laid the foundation” (I
Corinthians 3: 10), and that said Word foundation has already been restored by
Brother Branham, the last church age messenger, God’s restoration Elijah,
Malachi 4:5-6, Matthew 17:11, Revelation 10:7, and all the saints that have
gone on are resting on that.
Quote
W.M.B.: Maybe this
ministry that I have tried to take people back to the Word has laid a foundation.
(Seventh Seal page 567).
Quote:
I said, “Then if Paul
makes it, I will too, because I preached the same thing he did, without
compromising on one word. And all them people screamed out, we are resting
assure on that. (Jehovah Jireh Pt.3
After having this dream, he was told by
discernment, by an evangelist from California U.S.A., by the name of Ernest
Hawtin, that he has an apostolic ministry, and the time had come for him to
move. He began his first missionary trip, he said, at the age of 33.
Quote
Richard Gan: “He began to discern the people in the
church…and pointed at me and said, “Brother…you have an apostolic ministry. The time is come for you to move…when the word
of knowledge was given by the Spirit of the Lord, I knew that was my answer
from God.”…“To whom am I sent: I may not be an apostle to some people, but I am
surely one to those true believers, who would receive me, for they are the seal
of my apostleship in the Lord (cf.1 Cor.9:2).” (The Foundation and the Wall,
pages 50, 51).
E.O.D.H.:
There is a way that an
apostle is identified. The scriptures speak of the signs of an apostle:
I Corinthians 12: 12 <Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought
among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.>
An apostle means a sent one. All and every
true apostle that is sent of God must have the signs and vindication of an
apostle, or he is found to be a false apostle that was sent of Satan. This self
proclaimed apostle does not have these vindications and signs working in him,
and clearly states:
Quote
Richard Gan: “The vindication that William Branham had
were vindications to his calling as a church age messenger fulfilling the
scriptures of Mal.4:5-6, Revelation 3:14, Luke 17:30. If another minister has
the same vindications as William Branham then both would have fulfilled the
same calling of the same scriptures. Then we would have two messengers to the
same age.” (Hearing They Hear Not page 31).
E.O.D.H.:
Such poor excuses cannot
explain away John 14:12:
John
Mark 16:17-18
<And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast
out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and
if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on
the sick, and they shall recover.>
Hebrews 13:8 <Jesus Christ the same
yesterday, and to day, and for ever”, but exposes false christs and false
prophets, even as Jannes and Jambres when they could not duplicate the creative
supernatural works of Moses. >
Though
he claims to be a believer of this message, at the same time, he refers to message
believers as “Branhamites”, and teaches his own doctrine, which he formulated,
in direct opposition and contradiction to the messenger and his message. His
teachings and heresies are listed on pages 2 to 7 of this book.
After careful study, and examination, we
found his doctrines to be heretical,
damnable and contrary to the
message of the messenger and the scriptures. We therefore exposed them for what
they are on; “Exposition of Damnable
Heresies Book 2”, Heretical Articles 15 & 16.
Heretical Article Nos. 15, 379 & 380: “As the Word came to the prophets under
the law, so the Word came to the apostles under grace”
E.O.D.H Answer: Amos 3: 7-8 <Surely the Lord GOD will
do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion
hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the

This heresy is
saying that Amos 3:7 is limited to the Old Testament, where God used one
prophet to bring the revelation to a certain age or generation. That Amos 3:7
is limited to the Old Testament where one prophet received the revelation for
the age. It applies only to the Old Testament and not the New Testament. It
states that New Testament order is to bring the Word by a group of apostles to
the church, and not by an Old Testament order of Amos 3:7. The revelation for the apostolic age came to the Church collectively and progressively
over a period of time by several apostles. This is evident by the twenty-six
epistles written in the New Testament by the apostles. As a result of this new
order, gifted apostles can add to the
message of the hour. They can add to the message of Brother Branham
(Malachi 4:5-6, Revelation
For a little
evaluation of this heresy, let us look this heresy in its face. What is it
trying to achieve? What is it trying to bring out? What are the motives and
objectives of this heresy and the heretics that preach such heresy? It is a
complex heresy, deceptive, that has its roots and foundation in the
misinterpretation of Amos 3:7.
This heresy is
presenting to us an order of the New Testament, and to present this New
Testament order of God bringing His spiritual revelation to the church, this
heresy is doing away with God’s Old Testament order - Amos 3:7.
The only way
that this heresy can flourish and make any headway amongst the people of God, amongst
message believers, is first to destroy Amos 3:7. Therefore the
misinterpretation of Amos 3:7 is the foundation
that this heresy is based upon; it is the root. Anybody that is bound by this
heresy must go back to the simplicity of the Bible, the simplicity of the
message and the simplicity of the understanding of Amos 3:7, in order to obtain
their deliverance.
This heresy,
when speaking of the revelation coming to a group of apostles for New Testament
times, evident by twenty-six epistles, looks very convincing and it further
states that there were no prophets in the New Testament system, and God never
called any one of the apostles, “prophets.” So this heresy is attacking the foundational order of the scripture, in God bringing
the revelation by His prophet to the age.
I want you to
clearly understand what this heresy is saying. This heresy is saying that Amos
3:7, where God used one man to bring the revelation for the age, is done away
with, and in the New Testament God used a group of apostles to bring the
revelation to the age in a collective manner, progressively, which means that
the revelation did not come altogether to one man, but it came collectively,
over a period of time, and different apostles got parts of this revelation, and
bringing them together through twenty-six epistles formed a complete
revelation. I defy this heresy! We
defy this heresy! How many say we defy this heresy? [Congregation says,
“Amen!”]
The evidence
that is given for this heresy is the twenty-six epistles that were written in
the New Testament which were all written by apostles. Now this is very
diabolical; very cunning. I must take my time and attack this satanic heresy. This is not just
something to hit over the head. Thousands of people are hanging their souls
upon this heresy. This heresy is master of all heresies, because it attacks the
very foundation of the Bible, it attacks the very foundation of every message
that God ever sent in the New Testament, and automatically, it attacks the very message of William
Branham. It attacks the very Bible system, the unchangeable system and order of
God, to bring revelation to mankind.
This heresy has
blatantly and cunningly attacked the message of the hour brought by William
Branham. It cunningly attacked William
Branham himself and his claims to prophethood. This heresy is attacking Malachi
4:5&6, where it is stated; “Behold I send unto you Elijah the prophet.” It
is attacking Revelation 3:14, which states, “Unto the angel of the church of
the Laodiceans.” It is attacking Revelation 10: 7, “But in the days of the
voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound,” (when “HE” shall begin to sound), “the mystery
of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the
prophets.”
It is attacking
Amos 3:7 and trying to do away with Amos 3:7, the very foundation of the Bible,
the very foundation of the message, and the very foundation that William
Branham based his message upon.
This heresy and
the heretics are trying to do away with the very foundation of the entire
Church.
Amos 3:7
<Surely the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth his secrets unto his
servants the prophets.>
We clearly
state here that Amos 3:7 is God’s order. We clearly state that this is God’s
established system for both the Old Testament and the New Testament. We disagree with this heresy that limits
Amos 3:7 to the Old Testament and has formulated a new system and a new order
to bring revelation in the New Testament to the church by a group of men.
The messenger
himself, William Branham, established his message in no uncertain terms, upon
the foundation of Amos 3:7, Malachi 4:5&6, Revelation 3:14 and Revelation
10:7, beyond a shadow of a doubt. I could bring quotations to you here today,
but the quotations that support the statement that I just made are so numerous
that it would take me about five years to quote William Branham concerning Amos
3:7 and God’s order of bringing divine revelation to the church. It’s all
hooked up in Amos 3:7. There is no shadow of a doubt from the Church Age book,
from the Seven Seals book, and there is no shadow of a doubt from all the
messages that William Branham preached, that Amos 3:7 is alive for our day,
alive for our age, and it was applicable both in the Old Testament and the New.
Therefore I will not waste my time and my breath to bring all those quotations,
for if a man could study eleven hundred tapes and so blatantly attack Amos 3:7
and all the various scriptures that support a one-man revelation for the age,
something is wrong with him. He is highly ambitious
like his father Lucifer. There is much ambition that is involved here and
we are about to identify this spirit in the Bible with its ambition.
I clearly state
here that Amos 3:7 is God’s order, His established
order and His established system for both the Old Testament and the New
Testament. The messenger established that in his message in no uncertain terms.
That’s the foundation of the entire Bible, and the foundation of his entire
message.
I quote the
messenger briefly. If the messenger says the same thing a thousand times and I
quote to you once what he says, and there are nine hundred and ninety-nine
other quotes that are saying the same thing, if you are born to be a believer,
that one quotation is sufficient. And if you are born to be an unbeliever,
though I quote the thousand quotations, you will still be an unbeliever, for I
say, “Search the message for in it you think you have eternal life and it is
that which testifies of God’s system.”
I quote William
Branham and I am laying emphasis here upon God’s order, God’s system of Amos
3:7 that is still applicable to the New Testament, applicable in our day and
applicable in our age, verified by William Branham beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Quote W.M.B.: 324-1 It was in the end-time period that
the seven thunders of Jesus came forth. Revelation 10:3-4…What was in those
thunders no one knows. But we need to know. And it will take a prophet to get
the revelation… (
My emphasis
here is not thunders; my emphasis is God’s order.
Quote W.M.B.: …because God has no other way of bringing out His Scriptural revelations except by a
prophet. The Word always came by a prophet and always will. That this is
the law of God is evident by even a casual search of Scripture. The unchanging
God with unchanging ways invariably sent His prophet in every age where the
people had strayed from Divine order. (Church Ages 324).
This quotation alone exposes this
heresy as from the pit of hell and the darkest abyss of Satan, and not to be
recognized as a revelation from God.
Quote
W.M.B.: You can’t go
under a group of men. I defy anytime that it ever went--God ever did use a
group of men. He uses one man (It’s exactly.)… (End time Evangelism
We defy that God
uses groups of men.
Quote
W.M.B.: …He uses one man
(It's exactly.), one man at a time, 'cause two men’s got' two opinions. One
man. It’s exactly right. Notice now every dispensation it's been that way; all
the way down through, it's been that way every time. (The End time Evangelism
Let me
re-emphasize that. The prophet of God now starts speaking about dispensation.
He said, “God uses one man at a time;”
He never did use a group, and then he concluded that in every dispensation it’s
been that way, all down the way through. And if you are not familiar with that
word, dispensation, all that it means is an age; all through the ages, all
through the dispensations. We had a dispensation of Adam, we had a dispensation
of Abel; we had an age or a dispensation of Noah; we had a dispensation of
Abraham; we had a dispensation of Moses. God’s order is to bring revelation to
the age by one man. This is clearly understood from Church Ages page 324, and
it is clearly understood from ‘End Time Evangelism,’ page 27, and there are
many other quotations that I could give here where God does not use groups of
men, but He uses individuals.
Old Testament
examples of God applying this one-man system and applying Amos 3:7 is that God
Himself brought the Word in Eden and Adam was the first prophet, and the Word
of the Lord came to Adam in Eden, and the Word said that: “Thou shall not eat
of this tree; the day you eat of this tree, you shall surely die. Be sure to
tell your wife that.”
The Word of the
Lord came to Adam and by faith Abel offered the right sacrifice. (Hebrews 11).
It was a divine revelation that God gave to Abel of what kind of sacrifice to
bring to the altar, and Cain refused to accept Abel’s revelation because he
thought that he was equal with Abel and God should speak to him personally
also. He failed to listen to the prophet, Abel and he perished. God rejected
his sacrifice.
There arose
another dispensation. That next dispensation was in the days of Noah, and God
found one man, and by that one man He brought a message to that generation and
everybody that did not hear that prophet with that message perished. You were
going to listen to Noah’s message and get into the ark or perish.
Luke 17:26-30
<And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the
Son of man… Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is
revealed.>
One man; and
the world failed to hear that one man called Noah and they perished.
Amos 3:7 is
applied in Adam, applied in Abel, applied in Noah and applied in Abraham. There
were lots of men upon the face of the earth but God spoke to one man and He
said, “Come out of thy father’s house and from amongst thy kindred and I will
show you a land,” and Abraham followed God. He was one man. That’s another
dispensation.
There arose
another man in another dispensation; his name was Moses. Let me linger here a
little while. God called one man, and for over four hundred years,
I want to call
your attention to something here that identifies this heresy and identify this spirit right in your
Bible. Moses led an exodus out of
Numbers 12:2
<And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken
also by us? And the LORD heard it.>
Numbers 16:1-3
<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 Israel,
two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men
of renown: 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?>
Ambitious spirits! That is where this heresy is identified.
This spirit that wants to say that God is also using groups of men on the same
level and on the same basis as William Branham, our Moses today with the pillar of fire, this is that
same spirit identified in your scriptures. It’s the same spirit that followed
that pillar of fire down there, and later arose against Moses. It’s the same
spirit in this modern generation, in this 21st century, because of
ambition, that is saying, “Hath God only spoken by William Branham? He hath not
only spoken by William Branham, He hath spoken by us, a bunch of apostles also.”
You lying heretic! You have the spirit of Korah, Abiram and Dathan, and the two
hundred and fifty princes upon you. You’re anointed by the same spirit that was
in the wilderness. This is the same spirit that is writing these books called;
“Prophetic Revelation.” This is the same spirit that wants to exalt itself
above the messenger. This is the same spirit that wants to attack the
foundation of the entire Bible. This is the same spirit that wants to attack
the foundation of the very message. This is the same spirit that wants to do
away with Amos 3:7, but Amos 3:7 will live on. It is for today. It was for
every dispensation.
We have
identified this spirit. It’s a spirit of Jannes and Jambres that withstood
Moses. This spirit does not only want to be recognized as adding revelation to
the message or new light to the message. No! This is not the only ambition of
this spirit. This spirit has the same ambition as it had in the wilderness,
which is to contradict Moses. Those spirits that arose in the wilderness did
not only say that they were bringing new light, but were contradicting the
message of Moses. And I state right here, that the contradiction that those
false prophets, ambitious preachers, were bringing was on the promises of the
hour. That is how you identify a heretic today; that is how you identify the
Korahs, the Abirams, the Dathans, and the two hundred and fifty princes. You
identify them when they start confessing unbelief
in entering the Promised Land,
Capstone, Outpouring of the Holy Ghost.
They arose to
stone Moses. They arose in the desert and said that
This heresy is
contrary to Amos 3:7. This heresy is contrary to Malachi 4 and his beliefs.
This spirit is contrary to the Message of the hour. It has totally contradicted
the Message of the hour. It has contradicted the very foundation of the Bible;
contradicted the very Message of the hour; not only add light, (what they are
calling light), but it changed the message. It perverted the message. It
attacked the very foundation of the entire Bible. It attacked the very
foundation of the very message. It has contradicted the teachings of William
Branham who made use of Amos 3:7 throughout his message, thousands of times,
stating that God always uses one man for the age and for the dispensation to
bring a revelation to the people. Therefore, this heresy is from the deepest abyss of hell. The propagators are heretics, false anointed
ones, Korah, Abiram and Dathan in modern times, and false apostles who have
crept into the Message. And if they cannot repent of this doctrine, it proves
who their father is, because they abide not in the truth. And when a man slips
out of the truth of the Message of the hour and you correct him and he fails to
repent, it shows that he is doing the deeds of his father; and the deeds of the
devil is to pervert the Word of God. They cannot continue in the Word of God.
The second part
of this heresy, part “B”, states:
“God uses
groups of apostles, evident by the Epistles.”
It is one thing to believe something, the
next is to prove it, and
especially when heresies come up and challenge your faith, and challenge your
revelation that you took for granted all the time. You’ve got to know where you
are standing.
Now, this
second part of this heresy is very slick, and they are citing twenty-six
epistles to show that God never used a prophet in the New Testament times. In
the apostolic age, all that God used were apostles, therefore the days of
prophets were done away with and God only used apostles, and those apostles
wrote twenty six-epistles: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Romans, Corinthians and
on down. What is your answer, as Ministers, to this heresy? Study the Word to
show thyself approved, a workman rightly dividing the Word of truth. And that
is what we are doing here, we are studying the Word to show ourselves approved,
rightly dividing the Word of God.
This heresy states that Amos 3:7, where God uses one man to
bring the revelation for the age, is an Old Testament order. But then in the
New Testament time, since the New Covenant came into existence, God did away
with Amos 3:7, one man bringing the revelation to the age, and now He is using
a group of apostles and that is his standard; that is His order for the New
Testament. Therefore twenty six epistles were written by the apostles and
brought forth a collective revelation over a period of time.
It also openly
stated that there were no prophets in the New Testament time, and the evidence
of this is that there are five
"ascension gifts" and the first one is an apostle, and the second is
a prophet. So when speaking of the five-fold Ministry and the ascension gifts,
prophets played a secondary role, and the apostles were placed first, therefore
the apostles had the headship as a group of men. Furthermore, when problems
arose in the Church in
Now, I cannot be angry with my brothers and sisters in the Message for being
caught up in a heresy like this, because it is cunning, it is diabolical,
seemingly with plenty of evidence. People
who had not been exposed to the message, hearing a heresy like this for the
first time, and heretics laying that kind of foundation on virgin soil, by the
thousands, and possibly by the millions, people accept that as the teachings of
Brother Branham; accept that as the teachings of the Bible; accept that as
revelation from Christ veiled in human flesh, personified upon the face of the
earth as head of these seven men.
How are these
poor Africans going to distinguish the wrong and the right of it? How are these
poor people in
This heresy says that the New Testament order is that
God uses a group of men, evident by the twenty-six epistles, and none of these
apostles were called prophets, all that they were called were apostles. Proof
and evidence is Ephesians 4:11, I Corinthians 12: Firstly apostles, secondarily
prophets.
This heresy is saying that the New Testament prophets were not
like the Old Testament prophets. They were not the absolute, but rather
secondary prophets, Agabus and others. They were not bringing a message for the
age, but the Message was coming collectively to Peter, James, John, Matthew,
Mark, Luke, John, Paul and Barnabas. It’s a cunningly devised fable, heretical
to the core, deceptive to the core, damaging to our African brothers, to our
European brothers; damaging to the world; attacking the foundation of the very
Bible; attacking the very foundation of the Message; attacking the very
foundation of the Word of God that we preach.
A heresy is a
deceptive thing. The power of that heresy is a damaging thing. It destroys the
souls of mankind.
This heresy concludes that each one of the epistles and each
one of the apostles brought part of the revelation over a period of time, and
when put together it formed a complete revelation for that age. Yet, in doing
that, the Bible was not completed. Yet in
these Apostles bringing parts of revelation to write the Bible in the New
Testament, the Bible was an incomplete book. The proof of it is that the seals
had to be opened. Now that the seals are opened, the Logos himself has come
down, personified in a man, and that Logos personified in a man is greater than
the written Word, for the Logos was first and then the written Word came after.
Therefore this Logos has more power than the written Word. Therefore the Logos
is receiving divine revelation and can bring revelations that can be added to
the message and added to the Bible. You talk about a cunning, diabolical
heretic that can destroy millions of souls by his heresies.
Isn’t that the Pope’s
doctrine? Isn’t that
identified with the Pope’s doctrine that the Pope and the Catholic Church are
above the written Word of God? It is the same spirit that is upon the Pope of
Rome, that built the Catholic Church in 325 AD, which states that the Pope is
above the Word and the Pope is infallible? And it’s not what the Bible says;
it’s what the Church says. That’s the law of the Catholic Church. It’s not what
the Bible says, but what the Pope says. He is the church. It’s what the church
says, not what the Bible says.
And the Pope
and his words were so infallible and so much greater than the written Word that
Catholics are not supposed to read their Bible, and they took away the Bible
from the people for a thousand years, and outlawed the Bible, punishable by
death if one scripture verse was found in your house. Isn’t that the same
spirit? This spirit is saying, “never mind what the message says, never mind what
William Branham said, never mind what the Bible said, it’s what the Logos says.
Isn’t that a catholic spirit? Isn’t that a Pope spirit? Isn’t that a Vicar
spirit? Isn’t that a beast speaking, from the pit of hell? Without any shame,
without any restraint, this heresy and the heretics that believe this,
contradicts Brother Branham, not only in these teachings, but many others that
I cannot bring out. And one of the outstanding teachings is that if a woman is
divorced, and has a living husband, and he is unsaved, she could be remarried.
That is in
direct contradiction to the teachings of Jesus, direct contradiction to the
teachings of William Branham and his message. It is in direct contradiction to
Romans 7:3, which says: “So then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married
to another man, she shall be called an adulteress.”
However, that
is not our subject. Our subject is to shut the mouth of this heretic. Our job
here, my brothers and sisters, is to shut up the mouth of this Cretian prophet.
Brother Paul said their mouths must be stopped, for they subvert whole houses,
they subvert
How are you going to answer this? How are you going to come out of this
tangle if you were those Africans, and Indians, and some Chinese where the
message has gone on now into
I am saying
that the Old Testament order of Amos 3:7 where God uses one man at a time,
bringing forth a revelation to an age still stands for today. And I will give
you up-to-date proof right now. God himself knowing that system would continue
from Genesis to Revelation and be applicable for our day, wrote by Malachi 4:5&6, “Behold I send unto you Elijah the prophet!”
‘A P-R-O-P-H-E-T’ not
‘A-P-O-S-T-L-E-S’. Revelation 10:7
speaks of an individual to bring the Message to the age. That is sufficient for
you and me.
Behold I send
unto you Elijah the prophet. Right there in our Bible it is prophesying that
God will send an absolute in the end time before He burns the earth, and that
absolute for the end time, to bring forth a revelation to turn the heart of the
children back to the Pentecostal fathers, will be a prophet called Elijah the
prophet. God knowing that system still
exists and is still applicable for the New Testament, prophesied by
Malachi, four hundred years before Christ, and stated there, “Behold the day
cometh that shall burn as an oven," and in the fifth and sixth verse,
“Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and
the dreadful day of the Lord."
God knowing
that that system of Amos 3:7 still holds
good for today, even to the end time, He placed there, Malachi 4:5&6.
Then something is definitely wrong with your heresy, Mr. Heretic. And your
heresy has become so anointed of the devil that you shut your eyes to Malachi
4:5&6. Your heresy has taken you out to the deep end, so far that you fail
to come to the simplicity of the scripture that quotes “Behold I will send unto
you Elijah the prophet."
If your system
was right, where God uses groups of men, the scriptures had to read, “Behold I
send unto you groups of apostles, behold I send unto you twelve apostles with
the twelve foundation stones.” But Malachi 4 is in direct contradiction to your
heresy, and your heresy is in direct contradiction to Malachi the prophet. Your
heresy is in direct contradiction to God and His system.
There were many prophets in the New Testament, and also
those who were prophesied to come: (Acts 13:1, Acts
Quote: W.M.B: He (Paul) was not only an apostle, he was a prophet.
(Testimony of William Branham
Quote: In the Bible the prophets, the Word came to the prophets in
the days of old. Now, the prophets were seers, Divine seers. And at the change
of the dispensations from law unto grace, did
not change God sending still, prophets. For in the New Testament we find
prophecy went on just the same. And also prophets went on just the same. (Why
Is It That So Many Christians Find It So Hard To Live The Christian Life
57-0303A).
Your heresy is
in direct contradiction to the entire
Bible and to the Message of the hour because that is the way William
Branham explained Malachi 4:5&6, and he laid emphasis upon the fact
throughout his Message, that Malachi 4:5&6 is not a group of man but a one
man show.
In the days of
William Branham, just before he came, there was a bunch of men that arose, and
they were preaching a doctrine that Elijah the Prophet is a group of men
anointed by the spirit of Elijah. And Brother Branham exposed that as
heretical, satanic and of the devil. And we are not relying only upon what
Brother Branham said, we are relying upon the Bible. Behold I send unto you
Elijah the prophet, not “the apostles”
“the prophet”! And “HE” not them, “HE” shall turn the hearts of the
children back to the fathers. What are we going to do with that?
I defy this
heresy, and the simplicity of the Word is going to destroy this heresy in a
minute. My brothers and sisters, Paul in the ninth chapter of the book of Acts
was called as the light to the Gentiles. And if that is vague Mr. Heretic, let
me state here that Paul was the first messenger to the first church age, and it
is recorded in Revelation 2:1, “Unto the
angel of the
That one scripture put together with Acts 9 has
destroyed your heresy where it stated God uses a group to bring a collective
revelation progressively throughout the ages. That one scripture has defied and
has broken up your heresy into pieces.
You are saying
that in the apostolic age God used a bunch of apostles to bring forth the
revelation for the age, which was the Message of the age. I am proving by the
scriptures, right in your Bible, and it’s not a man saying that, it’s Christ
himself saying that. It was given to one
man, and the man was an angel messenger; the revelation was given to him.
I would further
prove that Paul was the absolute. I will further prove that Brother Paul was
that man with the Message for that hour. It takes a blind man to read the
Church Ages, where it states that Paul was the messenger for the Ephesian
Church Age and then come up with a heresy like that. You have to be twice dead,
plucked up by the roots. You have to be highly
ambitious.
Galatians 1:1
<Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God
the Father, who raised him from the dead.>
You heard the
authority in that voice?
Galatians
1:6-12 <I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into
the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be
some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we,
or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we
have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before,
so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye
have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I
seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of
Christ. But I certify you, brethren...> (This is a certified cheque.)
<...That the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither
received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus
Christ.>
I am proving to
you that Brother Paul, his office, his
ministry was the absolute for that age, that if anybody taught a revelation
contrary to the revelation that was given to Paul, the prophet messenger for
that age, though an angel come down from heaven and contradicted that message,
he was accursed (Anathema and Maranatha,) which means that you were accursed
unto the day of the coming of Christ, if you changed the message of the
messenger of that age. And any man that tries to change the message of William
Branham, making it say what it does not say, is anathema and maranatha.
So, I am
asking, Mr. Heretic, where is your bunch of apostles? Where is your group of
apostles that brought a collective revelation? I am showing you that the
revelation did not come collectively by a bunch of apostles, but it was
addressed to one man, and that man was very defiant about it, in so much that
he said that no man could change that revelation. Not even I nor Barnabas is
able to change that revelation, because the revelation was given to me by Jesus
Christ. Why was the Message given to Paul by Jesus Christ? He was one of the
stars in the hand of God. (Revelation 1:16).
Galatians 2:7-9
<But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was
committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] unto Peter; (For
he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision,
the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) And when James, Cephas, and
John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me,
they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go
unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.>
I Corinthians
3:10-11 <According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise
masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But
let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no
man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.>
Brother Paul
said that he was the wise masterbuilder. Out of all those apostles, Brother
Paul was the wise masterbuilder. He said
I have laid the foundation. The gospel of William Branham is a restoration
of the gospel of Paul the apostle, the first messenger to the church age, and
all of the redeemed are resting on that. When Brother Branham was caught up in
the translation, he said, “I preach exactly what Paul preached”, and the whole
of heaven said, “We are resting on that.” He was the wise master builder.
To prove to you
that there was an absolute, that there was a prophet Messenger, who was
responsible for that age, to bring the revelation for the age, completely,
there were certain apostles that arose and challenged the authority of Brother
Paul. And then Brother Paul said, “I will glory.” He said, “Are they Hebrews?
So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they apostles? So am I. And on down
he went. And in II Corinthians
Now when that
first messenger in that first age came up, did you have false apostles claiming
to be the authority of God? Claiming to be a bunch of men that God was using
too? It’s the same spirit today.
The same spirit
that arose under that messenger, claiming that they were a bunch of apostles
bringing higher light and higher revelation,
adding to the message, and claiming to have deeper revelation than
Brother Paul, is the same kind of apostles we have today, and Brother Paul
declared them to be false apostles and deceitful workers transforming
themselves into angels of light.
Now, I am going
to destroy this heresy with the simplicity of the teachings of the church ages.
Every message, for two thousand years now, starting from the days of Brother
Paul as the first messenger, right down to the age that we are living in, every
message to every age was directed to a
singular messenger. I am asking this Mr. Heretic, that said God changed his
system and was using a new system a group of men. Why did Christ have only
seven stars in His hand? Why was He holding seven stars in his hand, and why
did he bring the message to every age to one of those stars? That alone, proves
that the plan and program of God continued from the Old Testament, Amos 3:7,
one man at a time. Yes! And it came over from John the Baptist; that was one
man for the dispensation. It changed over from John to Jesus; one man at a
time. It changed from Jesus to Paul, and it changed to Irenaeus, and it changed
to Martin; it changed to Columba, it changed to Luther, it changed to Wesley,
and Branham is the Messenger for this age. Oh Yes! Seven stars in the right
hand of God. The first star was Paul, and the last star was William Branham,
and that system continued to the day in
which we live, Revelation 3:14 - “Unto
the angel of the church of the Laodiceans." Are we living in the Laodicean
age? Then there was one messenger for the age in which we are living.
This heretic
might say that all these seven stars were apostles, because it does not speak
of prophets, it says angel messenger. I have news for you. When God spoke to
this messenger to the Laodicean age, there was another scripture in the Bible,
to verify that messenger as Elijah the prophet, and that is Malachi 4, showing
you that William Branham was an apostle indeed, but he was also an Old Testament
prophet and a New Testament prophet. And, if this would not stumble you, William Branham was more than a prophet,
for Jesus said of the forerunner, John the Baptist, that he was more than a
prophet. Therefore he was a special messenger, and he was the greatest prophet
born from a woman. And if Jesus said that of John the Baptist he would say even
more about William Branham today, who came to forerun the second coming of
Jesus Christ. He was a special messenger.
I am proving
that it came from John the Baptist, even unto Jesus. From Jesus unto Paul, and
it came right down. You say, what about the apostle Peter? I have news for you
again. The ministry was divided with two
headships, one to the circumcision and the other to the uncircumcision
(Galatians 2:4-10). Is that right? And God himself placed it in such a way, and
all the apostles recognized that the ministry of Paul was to the
uncircumcision, which were to the Gentiles, and the ministry of Peter was to
the Jews, and they all recognized it. He said that’s the grace of God that was
given to me, and the grace of God that was given to Peter. All that it means is
that these were two special ministers, apostles and prophets, and one was to
the Jews and one was to the Gentiles, but they had the exact same revelation. Revelation 3:14, Malachi 4:5&6,
Revelation 10:7 all speaks of an individual to bring the message of the
age. That is sufficient for you and me.
The third part of this heresy: I will just brief you
on it, see how diabolical. The third part of this heresy states that we can add
to the Message, we can add to the Bible because of this “new order,” of a
“collective revelation,” and progressive revelation, and since the days of
William Branham, when he came to the earth as the first apostle, then there are
other apostles who are still bringing forth
the revelation. Therefore, they could
add to the Message and add to the Bible.
I defy this heresy; because the Bible says if you add to it,
the plagues that are written in it shall be added to you, and if you take from
the Word of God then your part shall be taken out of the Book of Life. That is
the scripture.
Now, to show you how diabolical this heresy is,
whenever a man preaches a doctrine like that, brothers and sisters, he leaves
the church without a standard to judge who is right and who is wrong. Don’t you
see it?
How many know
that William Branham laid emphasis on the Word, from Genesis to Revelation, as
being our absolute, and anything contrary to that is the devil? Even because he
looked to the Bible as the standard. Now, but this heretic, by his heresy, has put a sword into the hearts of the
believers that are deceived by him because he has taken away the standard,
which the standard is the Bible; the standard is the Message; the standard is
the revelation by which any prophet is judged, any revelation is judged, and
any heresy is judged.
And when a man would come and say that revelations are
still coming by gifted apostles, and could be added to the message, he has
taken away your standard to judge whether he is a false prophet or a true
prophet, a false apostle or a true apostle. He has taken away that standard.
I am saying that this heresy is a
"heresy of heresies" cunning and diabolical, therefore we conclude
that this heresy came from the darkest abyss of hell, from the throne of Satan
himself, by false anointed ones in the end time, to try to deceive the very
elect; but the elect is built upon the Word of God and she has an antenna down
inside. She will only hear the voice of God, and the voice of God is His Word
and the message of the hour.
Have you ever
seen such a diabolical and cunning heresy like this? My brothers and sisters,
we detest this heresy. Come on; let me hear your voices. [Congregation responds
with shouts of Amen!]
We defy this heresy! This is the deed of the Nicolaitans. We hate this heresy and God hates this
heresy. May God send deliverance by this message to our brothers and sisters in
There is going to be an outpouring of the
Holy Ghost so that even if these messages don’t reach the people, there is
going to be an outpouring of the Holy Ghost very soon. Yes! And they are going
to hear these same things in power and in demonstration of the Holy Spirit.
Paul speaks of the signs of an apostle. He said, but the sign of an apostle was
wrought in me by signs wonders and miracles, the very seal of my apostle-ship
are ye in the Lord. And I am challenging these false apostles that have arisen
under the message; I am challenging them to show the sign of an apostle.
There is a way
that an apostle is identified. There was a way that William Branham, who was an
apostle, was identified. All the claims that you could make as heretical
apostles, yet the signs of the apostles
are not working in you.
All that is
working in you is intellectualism, and that takes you and ties you in with the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and makes the serpent your brother,
that deceived Eve by intellectualism on the message of the hour. Yes!
But the signs
of the apostles must be shown in any apostle that will arise upon the face of
the earth.
In conclusion, I believe that the
world is getting ready to see a bunch of apostles, but that does not change the
fact that we had one Prophet Messenger to the seventh Church Age.
In this age,
the world is getting ready to see a bunch
of New Testament apostles, but not one of them will have their own message.
No! They are going to be based upon the message that William Branham brought.
And let me
clarify the fact of twenty-six epistles being the evidence. Every apostle that wrote any epistle, Jude, Peter, or any of the
rest of them, had to be based upon the message that was given to Brother Paul.
It had to dovetail with the revelation and the message that was given to the
messenger of the age called Brother Paul. And he summarized it in so many
words: “Though we or an angel come from heaven” in other words, I or any of the
other apostles or an angel from heaven come and speak any other revelation unto
you, let him be accursed.
That makes the
revelation of Brother Paul the absolute for the age, and all the Epistles that
were written had to dovetail with the message that Brother Paul was bringing.
And likewise, any preacher that will preach or write any kind of a book, no
matter how many signs and wonders he may show, if it does not dovetail with the
message of William Branham, it is of the devil. That shows that the standard
for the first age is the same for the last age and will continue to the end of
time.
Our absolute is
the Bible and the message of the hour, and we boldly state here that anything
that contradicts the message of William Branham is of the devil. It is
heretical, and is a heresy from hell. And even when the seven thunders are
revealed it must dovetail with the rest of the scriptures.
Quote W.M.B.: And when anybody thinks that he has those
seven thunders, if it don’t compare with the rest of the Word, there’s
something wrong. It’s got to come THUS SAITH THE LORD, for this is the Book;
this is the revelation of Jesus Christ in its entirety. (Seals pg. 284.1963).
It must dovetail with all the scriptures when it comes. It must never contradict
the Bible, and got to dovetail with all the scriptures.
Any Messenger,
any preacher, any lay member that is anointed of God today and is speaking for
God cannot contradict the Message of William Branham. He must dovetail with the
Message of William Branham. Any preaching, any writings, any book that is
written, must dovetail with the Message of William Branham, and if it does not,
we know that it is the devil.
Therefore, my
brothers and sisters, all these prophetic revelations that contradict the
message of William Branham are of Satan, it is of the devil, and wherever you
are throughout the world, have nothing to do with it. Flee for your lives,
because it contradicts the Message of the hour.
Go back to the
simplicity of the Message. Go back to the Message of William Branham; go back
to the church ages and the seven seals book Yes! And stay in the Message of the
hour.
I call you back
to the Message of William Branham if you are caught by this heresy.
Heretical Article No. 16 & 381:“The
seven thunders which were not revealed in 1963 by Brother Branham must now be
revealed by seven chosen men to give the Bride rapturing faith”.
Quote
Richard Gan: “If the seven stars were seven anointed men of god, so will the seven thunders be…
the Seven Thunders represent Seven Men whom the Seven Spirits will identify
with and work through just before the Rapture of the
[VOICES OF HERESIES] [FACELESS HERETICS]
E.O.D.H. Answer: Revelation 10:3-4 - "And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion
roareth: and when he had cried, seven
thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their
voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
"
The inventor of this heresy is an
aggressive, heady, high-minded, unrepentant, self proclaimed apostle, and chief
heretic from
Apostle Richard Gan’s program of the
Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders is Satanic, full of arrogance, hatred, malice and total disrespect to the Prophet, his
Message and Believers. He, together with other prominent faceless men, who assume the office of apostles, advocate that
there are seven men to reveal the
Seven Thunders since there were seven voices of thunders.
His program has changed, altered and
perverted almost every major
doctrine of the Bible and Message of the Prophet. He and his seven faceless men
have totally disregarded established doctrines of the Prophet, proclaiming without
embarrassment that they have a right to stay with the Word and reject what the
Prophet said, as he said to “stay with the Word if he is wrong.”
As a result of this
heresy, Apostle Gan from
He
irreverently and heretically interfered
with the most sacred revelation of the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders, and God’s
program for its’ revealing, in utter disregard to the warnings and pleadings of
the Messenger.
His claims
are that God has changed His program and order from Old Testament times, of
bringing His revelations by way of one prophet at a time, to a new order of a
group of apostles, because a new covenant had been established. Hence, the
revelation and the interpretation of God’s Word for the Apostolic Age came to
the Church collectively and
progressively over a period of time by several apostles, evident by the
twenty-seven epistles written in the New Testament by the apostles.
This doctrine
here is saying that seven men are to receive the seven thunders. That is
plainly understood. Pages 34 and 35 give you that account. Also there are seven
men without any faces and facial features. In one place in this book it is
plainly stated, without any apology and without any shame that the “seven men”
are actually the seven thunders, so each man is a thunder. The scriptural
support that is given is taken from Zechariah 3:8-9
<For behold
the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes:
behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts...>
So this
doctrine states that scripture is being fulfilled today after the Ministry of
Brother Branham, and in Zechariah 3:8-9 the seven eyes upon one stone that is
recorded are seven men, apostles, that will receive the seven thunders
fulfilling the trump of God to bring the dead from the grave.
We disagree. We do not
believe that there is any scriptural
foundation for this heresy. However, I believe that this heresy is partly
correct, and that is how all heresies come. All heresies are mixed with truth,
it is based upon the message of the hour, it is based upon the Bible, but then,
in that heresy there is a death seed. It is like poison; sugar coated right
around in a big ball of sugar. You don’t taste the poison but you taste the
sugar. Give a little child that ball of sugar, he eats the sugar and it tastes
very nice, and it is very palatable but then the poison gets down into the system
and the child dies. That is a heresy,
like the serpent gave to Eve and he sugar coated it, and the Bible said, she
looked upon the fruit and it was pleasant to the eyes and one to be desired,
and she took of the fruit and she did eat. So she took that little ball of
sugar not knowing the unbelief and the heresy that was wrapped up in the little
ball of sugar. It tasted sweet in her mouth but later on it brought death.
We agree that the seven thunders were not revealed in
1963 by Brother Branham. That part of
this heresy is very sweet. The next part of this heresy says that it must be
revealed to give the Bride rapturing faith. All that is correct; that is all
together sugar; we agree. We agree that the seven thunders were not revealed to
Brother Branham in 1963. We also agree that the seven thunders must be revealed
for rapturing faith; there is no doubt about that. That is right through
Brother Branham’s message. The seals, almost anywhere you turn, say that
rapturing faith is going to come by the seven thunders. But we totally disagree
with the conception that seven men are to receive the revelation of the seven
thunders. We totally disagree that these seven men themselves are the seven
thunders, because it is unscriptural.
In attacking a heresy we attack the
foundation. This heresy
is built upon two scriptures Zechariah 3:8-9 and chapter 4:9-10. These seven
men fit themselves in Zechariah 3 and Zechariah 4 as their foundational
scriptures to prove that there were seven men to come after Branham to receive
the revelation of the seven thunders. Attacking the foundation that this heresy
is standing upon, we are more than able to destroy it. So I challenge my
hearers on tape and whoever will probably read our literature; I challenge you
to choose ye this day whom you want to believe. If you want to believe the
interpretation of Zechariah 3rd chapter and 4th chapter
from the vindicated prophet called Malachi 4 William Branham, or you want to
believe some fly-by-night preacher that has arisen and tries to force-fit
himself into the Word of God.
I could take
the scripture and the message and prove that Chapter 4 of Zechariah is not
speaking of seven men to come, but
that they have already come. They came and fulfilled their ministry and have
gone on; and the last one is rocking on his rocking chair.
My words are a
little too weak, but there was a prophet of God sent today to interpret
Scriptures, Malachi 4:5-6. He was
sent unto us today with the facts. He was Revelation 10:7: “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall
begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to
his servants the prophets.” All that was recorded in the Bible, as far as the
mysteries are concerned, was to be loosed by William Branham. We take his word
above every man’s word, and if he will interpret Zechariah 3 and Zechariah 4 in
a different light we will take his word for it.
Revelation 3:1
<These things sayeth he that hath the seven spirits of God and the seven
stars.>
Seven spirits
are identified as seven eyes in Zechariah 4:10.
Quote
W.M.B.: Putting our
scriptural discoveries together, it is evident that the seven spirits of God
referred to the continuous ministry of the same Holy Spirit in the lives of
seven men with whom God identified Himself very closely. They are his eyes,
they are his lamps. Who these men
are can easily be seen because the next phrase calls them seven stars which are
already known to us as the seven
messengers to the seven church ages. How beautiful this is. (Seven Church
Ages - pages 248-249)
Brother Branham
opened up the Book of Revelation and was preaching on the Lamb. He said the
Lamb had seven eyes and He had seven horns. That is Revelation: 5. He opened up
the Bible and said in Rev 3:1 that these were seven spirits before God. Then in Revelation 5 he said there were seven lamps burning before the throne. He said
all these sevens over here, seven eyes, seven spirits of God and seven lamps
are speaking of one thing. They are speaking of seven spirits before Almighty
God. These seven spirits are not seven individual spirits; it is the Spirit of
the Holy Ghost working through seven men throughout the seven church ages and
it’s the seven stars which are the seven messengers to the seven church ages.
I believe a
blind man should see that. I believe a blind man should understand that.
Therefore I am saying that the inventor of this heresy that was built upon
Zechariah 4, his prop is knocked off by the major prophet called William
Branham. Whereas he is putting Zechariah the 3rd and 4th
Chapter after William Branham, Brother Branham applied them to the seven church
age messengers.
Quote
W.M.B.: 102-2 {236} Zechariah 3:8 and 9…upon one stone
shall be seven eyes…Zechariah
Brother Branham
interpreting what Zechariah 3:8:9, and
<A man that
is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject.... for he is
condemned of himself. >
That is the
scriptural order to deal with a heretic. You don’t go begging, and pushing and
pulling a heretic day after day, month after month, and year after year, asking
him to repent. If you had Brother Paul here and he had to deal with a heretic,
Brother Paul would make plain the scripture once, and he would make the
Scripture plain a second time. After that is made plain and that man cannot see
that, Brother Paul would know that the election is off, and he would reject
him. That is scriptural order.
And after the
Word of God is made plain, and people sit and hear the exposition of such
inventions of false doctrines and interpretations on the Thunders and they
cannot accept the simplicity and the plainness of the Message of William
Branham, something is definitely wrong
with their desires. Jesus said, “This is the condemnation that light is
come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light because their
deeds were evil.” (John 3:19). And if
you have a pastor that allows you to commit adultery and live in fornication
and be a thief, a vagabond and do unscriptural things and your deeds are evil,
you would love that kind of a preacher because he allows you to wallow in your
sins, and Jesus said that would be your condemnation.
And after the
Word of God has come and explained Zechariah 3:9, Zechariah 4:10 by the mighty
Elijah, the prophet on Church Age, pg. 249, and on the Seals Book, page 102…
Let’s say that you did not know how the Prophet interpreted those Scriptures.
Here you have a preacher showing you the Word of God. Something has to be wrong
with a person to deny the words of Malachi 4, William Branham, who was sent of
God, inspired of God as a major prophet of the age, and to take another man’s
word. Something has to be wrong with his
desire.
If you got tied up in my
explanation, all that I am saying is, Brother Branham took Zechariah the 3rd
chapter and Zechariah the 4th chapter and 10th verse and
he applied them to the seven messengers of the Seven Church Ages. I defy this
heresy upon the basis of the words of the anointed Elijah that took Zechariah
Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 and applied it to the seven men in the Seven Church
Ages, bringing the Seven Church Ages messages. Therefore this heresy has no
foundation to stand upon; I defy it as heretical, hell oriented and satanic and
call the heretic to repentance, and also all that follow him to repentance. I
call all the congregations to repentance, and to turn loose of this heresy!
Observe that only two scriptures were given here to
support this heresy that “There are seven men to reveal the Seven Thunders.” No
quotations were given, and that is simply because there are none. There is no quotation from any of the eleven
hundred tapes to prove that seven men are to receive the Revelation of the
Seven Thunders, otherwise these heretics would certainly make use of it.
The only way
they could force fit themselves into the Word of God, is to bring up another
interpretation of Zechariah 3rd and 4th chapters. No
quotations were given, absolutely none, because there is none. In eleven hundred tapes there is none to
prove that there are seven men to receive the revelation of the seven thunders,
not even to indicate such a plan of God for the opening of the Seventh Seal or
Seven Thunders.
One heresy
leads to another, and this heresy has its foundation upon other heresies. These
men are saying that Amos 3:7 only applies to the Old Testament and it is not
applied to the New Testament. Another heresy that this is resting upon is that
“in the New Testament, God has a different order in bringing revelation and
that is by a bunch of apostles. Since he used several apostles in the New
Testament, the revelation and the message are still coming after the death of
William Branham. He was only one apostle but we got to have a bunch of apostles
in the end time. Those apostles that are arising now could add to the message,
new revelations. You don’t have to find
it in the Bible, you don't have to find it in Brother Branham’s message because
New Testament order is that one apostle gets a revelation, and another gets a
revelation to form the picture.”
I defy these
teachings. They are heretical, totally unscriptural and unfounded in the
message of Malachi 4: 5-6. This heresy
is based upon those heresies which seek to destroy the foundation of the
scriptures and message of Malachi 4. Amos 3:7 is the very foundation of the
Bible and the very foundation of the message of William Branham. Anything that
would try to destroy the foundation of the Bible and the foundation of the
message of William Branham is hell
oriented, is satanic, and should
be recognized only as that.
In all the
prophet’s teachings, the foundation for his message to the end time bride is
Amos 3:7, Malachi 4:5, Revelation 10:7 and Revelation 3:14, since God’s divine
order is to bring revelation to the church by one Messenger for each Age. All
messages were addressed to the Angel/Messenger to the respective Ages. The message for each Age was addressed only
to one, not seven.
In all the
written Word from Genesis to Revelation, God never used a group of men to bring
a message to the Church, neither did he ever use a group of men because he had
seven or more revelations to the Age. I challenge any heretic to prove
differently. No where in the Bible did
God ever use a group of men, and if God was bringing seven revelations or more
to a particular age, he did not need seven or eight men, because it was several
revelations. No! The only way that an
heretic can force-fit seven men into the message for receiving the Revelation
of the Seven Thunders is to pervert Amos 3:7 and Revelation 10:3.
Mathematically
it’s right: seven voices, seven revelations, seven men, seven thunders.
Mathematically, working it out from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
So they are saying seven voices equal seven revelations, seven revelations
equal seven men, and seven men equal seven thunders. But give it the Word test;
give this heresy the Word test by God’s mathematics of the Bible.
Revelation 10:1-4 plus Amos 3:7 equal one
revelator. Let us hear
God’s mathematics by God’s mathematics of the Bible: Revelation 10:1-4 plus
Amos 3:7 (God reveals His secrets to His Prophets) equal one revelator,
Revelation 10:1. You can’t find that in
the colleges? No. They cannot understand
these mathematics.
If you want to
know if the answer is correct, and your little teacher cannot correct the
lesson, you have to go to the Principal of the age. Let me quote him here from
Church Ages, Page 324.
Quote W.M.B.: 324-1 It was in the end-time period that the seven thunders
of Jesus came forth. Revelation 10:3-4…What was in those thunders no one knows.
But we need to know. And it will take a prophet to get the revelation, because
God has no other way of bringing out His
Scriptural revelations except by a
prophet. The Word always came by a prophet and always will. That this is
the law of God is evident by even a casual search of Scripture. (
I am saying
that Revelation 10:1-4 plus Amos 3:7 equals one revelation and revelator, “Christ,” and it proves the other sum wrong,
of seven voices equals seven revelations, equals seven men, equals seven
thunders, equals seven apostles today. I
say that sum is wrong. Put an ‘X’ on
that sum, because the prophet corrected this sum. I am checking my lesson
with what the Prophet of God said in Church Ages page 324. When this goes out
there and meets you, you do what you want. I am just quoting the Prophet of
God! And I tell you right here and I declare right now in this Assembly, to all
that will hear this tape and to all that will read our literature, that I am
not that one! I make myself abundantly clear. I want you to bear me
witness. [Congregation says, “Amen!”]
Anybody that hears this quotation, do what you want with it. I am not fitting myself into that quotation;
I am just stating truth. That is the order of God’s Bible from Genesis to
Revelation.
Notice on this
same page, Brother Vayle documented the expectations of Brother Branham to
receive the Revelation of the seven thunders, but at the Seals in 1963, Brother
Branham concluded that it was not revealed. So, this idea of seven prophets,
seven apostles is condemned by Brother Branham from the Church Ages page 324,
it cannot stand up in the message and it cannot stand up in the Word.
Quote
W.M.B.: He could’ve
chosen the sun to preach the gospel, but God always deals with one individual who will listen to Him
Word by Word. (Seals page 184 &
298).
Quote:
God uses man and man
only. God doesn’t use machinery. God doesn’t use groups men. God doesn’t use
organizations. God uses individuals
always. (Perfect Faith 63-0825E pg. 9).
Quote:
God never did deal with a
group nowhere in the scriptures. He
deals with one individual because every man is different from the other. He
gets one man till he can get him perfectly in harmony, till he can become that
word. (Voice of the Sign 64-0313, par 40).
Quote:
It can’t come to a group never did, one man, that’s what God promised. (Trying to Do God A Service,
65-1127, par. 219).
Quote:
Tell me when God ever used a group to lead. You won’t find it in the Bible. One man, the Word came to Moses. Korah we all know that he got himself, and
complained about God not being just to do a thing, like that to make one man with the message.
And remember, Jude speaks the same thing in the last day. (Why It Had To Be
Shepherds, 64-1221, par. 153).
Quote:
You can’t go under a
group of men. I defy anytime that it
ever went, God ever did use a group of
man. He uses one man. Exactly. One man at a time, cause two men’s got two
opinions. One man! Exactly right. Notice now, every dispensation it’s been that
way, all the way down through. (The End Time Evangelism 62-0603. page 27).
Quote:
Each time he appeared on
the earth at the end of an age, He always sent a man and anointed him with the
Holy Ghost, Christ … Now He can’t do it in a group. You can’t do it. It just never has been done. He never did use a group, never did. He uses one single person. (The Identified
Christ of all Ages.
Quote: 85 Now, God always uses a prophet, a man. If you use a bunch
of men, you get different ideas (See?); each man, two men. Never did He have
two major prophets on the earth at one time. He takes one, so the other one can
take its place for another day, another message. He never has two; He has one
at a time. (The Evening Messenger 63-0116).
That is
sufficient to help us to understand that the prophet’s understanding was that
right through the Bible, God never did use a group of men. God always used an
individual. This heresy is completely contrary to the entire program of God.
More light may come upon the message of the Age, but it cannot contradict the
Revelation that was previously given by God to His messenger. And that is
simply proven.
The reformer,
Martin Luther, came with justification, then Wesley came with a higher
revelation, but he never contradicted Martin Luther’s revelation. William
Branham came and opened up all the mysteries of God and never contradicted the
revelation of justification and sanctification, neither did he contradict what
happened at
This heresy has
broken every type and shadow of the scriptures and blatantly contradicted the
foundational teachings of the Bible and message of Brother Branham. Therefore,
it is of the Antichrist.
This heresy
changed the divine interpretations of Zechariah 3:8:9 and
This slick, subtle, cunning and silver
tongued perverter and impersonator, fully conscious that the New Ministry of
W.M.B./seven thunders/seventh seal and third pull, must be confirmed by
manifestations of the third pull in creative acts of power (Mark 11:23), has
evaded, dodged and explained away the promised vindication of this super
ministry by assuming that he is manifesting the third pull temporarily.
Gan’s heresy of
the thunders cannot hold up in God’s Word. His dogma is that seven men are to
reveal the seven thunders, and these men are the very thunders. Is he brighter
than the messenger to invent such a heresy? Seven men are not the seven thunders. The seven thunders hold the
secret of the second coming of Christ, which the prophet of God said that it
will take a prophet, not seven men, to get the revelation (Ages page 324).
Therefore his doctrine is erroneous, heretical, satanic and totally contrary to
the Word of God, the opening of the seals and the messenger’s message.
Seven thunders
ministers will certainly agree with the exposition of this heresy of seven men
for the Revelation of the seven thunders. While we are grateful for their
support, may I state that they are caught in the same net, since many of them
claim to be receiving the revelation of the seven thunders collectively and
progressively since 1974, ten years after the opening of the seals, when
Brother Branham stated in 1963 that the seventh seal or thunders was not
revealed (Seals, page 567-576). As certainly as these seven men have violated
the laws of God to force fit themselves as revelators of the thunders, those
seven hundred and seventy-seven thunders ministers, plus, have done the same to their hurt and dishonour. Why
only after ten years? Somebody is acting super-spiritual. The answer to that
question is a greater diabolical heresy than to say seven men are to reveal the
seven thunders. For they claim seven hundred and seventy seven, plus.
Efforts proved futile to reconcile this
impersonator from the error of his ways. Such efforts, through letters, are
documented on Exposition of Damnable Heresies – Book 4. This slick, subtle,
cunning and silver tongued perverter and impersonator, fully conscious that the
New Ministry of W.M.B./seven thunders/seventh seal and third pull must be
confirmed by manifestations of the third pull in creative acts of power (Mark
11:23), has evaded, dodged and explained away the promised a-vindication of
this super ministry by assuming that he is manifesting the third pull
temporarily. Also, that he don’t have to follow in line with the identification
of the five acts of the third pull manifestations. The true identification of
this ministry promised to the Church of Jesus Christ, will further expose this
cunning impersonator to be nothing less than a heretic.
MEASURING ROD OF IDENTIFICATIONS OF SEVEN
THUNDERS MINISTRY APPLIED
Identification
No.1: His revelation of
the thunders cannot hold up in God’s Word. His dogma is that seven men reveal
the seven thunders, and these men are the very thunders. Is he brighter than
the messenger to invent such a heresy? Seven men are not the seven thunders.
The seven thunders holds the secret of the second coming of Christ, which the
prophet of God said that it will take a prophet, not seven men, to get the
revelation (Ages page 324). Therefore his doctrine is erroneous, heretical,
satanic and totally contrary to the Word of God, the opening of the seals and
the messenger’s message.
Identification
No.2: His claim is
contrary to the teachings of the message which says that the next time the
third pull manifestations are used is at the boycott of the Church. He falsely
claims that he is manifesting the third pull temporarily. This was already done
by Brother Branham. So he is out of time, out of place, and he is imitating the
Prophet’s ministry.
Identification
No.3: We are living in
the age of the Capstone, and he claims that he is now laying the foundation. He
is living in the glare of another age, since the foundation was already laid
again by the wise master builder, William Branham.
Identification No.4: His so-called
false claims of third pull temporal manifestation does not fit the
identification.
Identification No.5: He is based on intellectualism and the
letter is destroying him and all who believe him. He is subtle as the serpent
and is no less than these dead organizations which believe that the days of
miracles are past, for he by his intellectualism is explaining away the power
of God. He is in direct contradiction to
Identification No.6: He never started
the rapturing faith, but did all in his power to cause people to depart from
the faith that was restored by Malachi 4:5-6, giving heed to seducing spirits
and doctrines of devils and given a chance, he will completely destroy the
message and all that the prophet labored for.
Identification
No.7: He claims to be
manifesting the third pull, yet he lacks the revelation of the new Name. Such
powers are invested in the new Name.
Identification
No.8: He is a million
miles away from this identification, and is waiting for his folly to be made
manifest by the fullness of the power of the third pull.
