RAYMOND JACKSON’S SEVENTH SEAL/SEVEN THUNDERS PROGRAM

Heretical Articles Nos. 459-462

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

“Apostle” and Pastor Raymond Jackson, regarded as an elder, by message believers, and popularly known as Junior Jackson, circulates a magazine entitled, “The Contender.” He gained great popularity by his dreams, high commendation as a dreamer, and interpretations of few of his dreams by the Prophet. After the departure of the prophet he interpreted his dreams that the Prophet, had already interpreted. (He was declared only a dreamer by the Prophet, not an interpreter of dreams.) He had other dreams which he interpreted. Upon such assumptions of God speaking and instructing him into an apostolic ministry, his seventh seal/seven thunders program was erroneously established. He believes like Richard Gan that seven men are to reveal the seven thunders. Their heresies are similar in nature with certain exceptions. He appointed himself “Joshua” that followed our Moses, the chief apostle to the gentiles, heading the five-fold ministry, and the church.

He used a new dream to further interpret a part of his dream, which the prophet never interpreted. Jackson’s interpretation was that his horse represented the power of the Word, his authority to unveil the scriptures, and his apostolic commission.

By casual examination of Jackson’s white horse rider dream: anyone can understand that the prophet never related or interpreted the dream the way that Apostle Jackson is projecting it. The prophet saw his dream by a vision before he gave the interpretation and never said what Jackson is now saying. The prophet is right and Junior is wrong. Two white horses were in his dream, a large horse which the Prophet was riding, and a smaller horse which Jackson

was riding.

The prophet’s horse rode straight into the sun, but Jackson only tried out his horse, and returned to the earth. Later he had another dream which he used to add more to his interpretation. In that dream the prophet gave him a preacher’s license in the mail. He used that dream to interpret what the prophet was silent about. The prophet never told him the work he had to do, whether good or evil. Why would the prophet not tell him, but rather told him to stay with the Word? This would be clearly understood by the exposition of his heresies.

Another dream he interpreted, was one in which he quoted the prophet as saying that he wanted him to go and speak for him. This the prophet repeated twice and Jackson bluntly refused, and told the prophet that he would only go if he could preach “these”, referring to seven of his own messages. The prophet gave him the permission, as he did with church order.

BASIS OF APOSTLE JACKSON’S INTERPRETATIONS

The foundation of Jackson’s 7^th seal/7 thunders program is based upon 7 sermons of his dreams. He propagated his program for many years and boasted, that none has ever challenged his revelations. E.O.D.H now takes up this challenge on the basis of the written Word and message of the hour. His agent from Lagos, Nigeria is one: Amos Segun Omoboriowo, who fully supports him in his errors and heresies. He is going upon the reputation of a man and not upon the Word of God, or he would have a different testimony.

His ministry climbed up to the seventh seal/seven thunders, like all other impersonators on the field, but is built upon his association with the prophet, and has more weight by using the prophet’s name. His program doesn’t fit the real program of God, therefore it is not of God. Anything that is contrary to the program of God is antichrist. With all due respect to this apostle, dreamer and elder, we must stand for truth. We must not exempt him from this work, though we had not exposed him in time past because of lack of information. Brother Branham said that the thunders must be according to the Word.

HERESIES: CHURCH ORDER, CHIEF APOSTLE, 7 THUNDERS, 7 MEN, JESUS, GOD

Heretical Article No. 459: “Church order is only for Branham Tabernacle and not other message assemblies.”

Quote Raymond Jackson: church order… They played the tape of it at the Tabernacle… but when I went home, I said, Whenever we are at the Tabernacle, I will honor church order there. I will sit there quietly. But I cannot see it in the scriptures. I realize he has a right to make an order to correct a disorder any way he sees fit to do so, but that is not for Faith Assembly. The next Sunday…I… said, People…I have heard the church order… but I cannot and will not put it in here. If God wants gifts to be operated, they will operate in the open, because that is the only way I can see it in the Bible.(The Body of Christ Part 2).

E.O.D.H. Answer: This dreamer disagreed with the prophet on the teachings of church order, and those who belonged to the Branham Tabernacle, who also disagreed, went down to fellowship at Junior’s church. He allowed people to prophesy, speak in tongues and interpret in the open congregation, though the prophet forbid it, placing all such gifts into a room, to be operated before service, and their messages to be read at the pulpit. Some people, who recognized that, came against him and handled the matter in a wrong manner. The prophet corrected them from the pulpit.

Quote W.M.B.: 1022-124 Somebody made fun of somebody leaving the Tabernacle and went down to Brother Junior Jackson's for a church. Said, "They went down amongst the 'dead birds.'" Aren't you ashamed to make a remark like that? Ever who you are, if you're my kid here in Christ, I'm ashamed of you. Don't do a thing like that. Junior Jackson is my brother

…because when I set the church here in a certain order, when I come back, to see if I could get the manifestation of the gifts, half of them pulled away from it.. If it cannot stand chastisement, then it's a bastard child."… And when the chastisement come, what happened?...

Now, Brother Junior Jackson had a right to disagree with that. That's Brother Junior's troubles; that's up to him. But Junior Jackson believes this Message the same as any of the rest of us does, just like I do… So don't say that about the brethren. (Questions & Answers 64-0823E).

The prophet was gifted with wisdom to handle unscriptural ministers, in a manner to keep the peace, avoid contentions and also keep an open door to get the message to the church. He never condemned them openly, but said enough to let spiritual minded people understand that their teachings were wrong. With the same method, he took up for Jackson, but wisely let the church know that the operation of those gifts was contrary to the Word, and the people who could not stand that chastisement were bastard born and stated: “That’s Jackson’s trouble.”

Jackson capitalized on what the prophet said not understanding the wisdom of the prophet in rebuking him, and concluded that church order is only for the tabernacle. Church order was not only for the Tabernacle, but was the setting in order of spiritual gifts, for the control of gifts in the church, (1 Corinthians chaps. 12 & 14). If that was only for the Tabernacle, then what Paul did was only for the Corinthian Church. It was not. That was Paul’s instructions that the prophet of God broke down. Jackson or any other heretic who disregards

such instructions is bastard born.

His disagreement and disobedience to the prophet and church order started Jackson’s trouble. No one can ignore a prophet and prosper with God. “…believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” (II Chronicles 20:20).

E.O.D.H boldly and valiantly takes up the challenge of the heretic Jackson and will now prove that his seventh seal/seven thunders program is Satanic. We challenge the foundation of his heretical claim by the exposition of his seven messages. Since both chief apostles are established on the same heresies, the answer to some of Jackson’s heresies will be referred to the answers given to Gan’s heresies. We trust that after such exposition, that Elder Jackson will repent.

Heretical Article No. 460: “Jackson is the chief apostle of the five-fold ministry.”

E.O.D.H. Answer: Both apostles: Richard Gan and Junior Jackson built their ministries upon Dreams and experiences. Gan’s dream revealed and placed him as having the first prize, as the chief apostle and likewise Jackson claims to be the chief apostle. Two male rats are living in the same hole and will have wars. Both men preach the same heresies with much variation, and are fighting over the first prize “chief apostleship”. The five-fold ministry is not yet positionally placed, though it exists. This was evidently proven in E.O.D.H. book ten, pages 66-91….. The sons of God are not yet manifested.

Heretical Article No. 461: “Rev. 10:3 says that Seven Thunders uttered T-H-E-I-R V-O-I-C-E-S. Those seven thunders will be the voices of 7 men; full of the Holy Ghost. They may live thousands of miles apart, but they will all hear and speak the same.”

E.O.D.H. Answer: For a complete exposition of this heresy, see heretical article no. 355; pages 172-175 of E.O.D.H. Book 12. However chief apostle Jackson struck an important note to expose both himself and Gan. Both men vary on heresies and are fighting for the chief apostleship. They are both disqualified even for the last prize, because according to Jackson’s doctrine, they must hear, see and speak the same, and they are not, therefore, it’s antichrist, full of pride and self instead of the Holy Ghost. They are exposed by their own words, attitude and claims.

Heretical Article No. 462: “Jesus only became God after his experience on the banks of Jordan.”

E.O.D.H. Answer: He was born the Emmanuel. The Word is God. (See book 9: Heretical Article No. 87, question # 35; pages 89-90, for a full exposition of this heresy).
