EXPOSITION OF DAMNABLE HERESIES

Elder c. W. Wood’s heresies

7^{th seal
/ 7 thunders}

(Questions Nos. 109-118)

We went through the subject of, Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders opened or not open= ed on E.O.D.H. book 5 entitled; “Seventh seal/seven thunders – two schools of thought” and E.O.D.H. book 9, entitled; “Questions and Answers controversies 7thunders, Godhead, deity heresies”. I sent it off to Pastor Michael Nyuma of Sierra Leone, Afric= a, who asked many of the questions related to this most important subject. Whi= le he was studying he said, “I want you to read a book before you publish your book that you could also read and answer the questions.”

The book= was written by a gentleman called C.W. Wood, located in the USA, in a place called De Witt, Arkansas. The name of this book is; ‘Christ Is The Mystery Of The Seventh Seal Revealed’. It is about sixty-four pages and it is trying to prove sev= eral things concerning the Seventh Seal and Seven Thunders, and it is a different version of the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders than what we dealt with in time past.

Heresies itemized

&nb= sp;

Now this is an old man. His projection concerning the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunde= rs are as follows:

<= span style=3D'font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-fa= mily: Symbol'>· The Seventh Seal was revealed in riddles and parables by Brother Branham after 1963 unto the time of his departure in 1965, and that Brother Branham preached the Seventh Seal/= Seven Thunders in riddles.

<= span style=3D'font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-fa= mily: Symbol'>· The ‘half an hour silence’ equals twenty years and when that ‘half and hour silence’ passed from = 1963 to 1983, then the silence was broken in 1983 and people started to get the revelation of the Seventh Seal.

<= span style=3D'font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-fa= mily: Symbol'>· He also stated that the revelation that star= ted to come forth from 1983 came forth progressively. In other words it grew ov= er a period of time and various ministers got certain ‘revelations’ = of the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders and it is now coming together, and the piec= es are now put together to make a complete picture and revelation of the Seven Thunders.

<= span style=3D'font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-fa= mily: Symbol'>· The Seventh Seal is the coming of Christ in = the prophet William Branham, and that great event took place at the opening of = the Seventh Seal in 1963.

<= span style=3D'font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-fa= mily: Symbol'>· The rapture is in three phases and the raptu= re started in 1963. (Now this is not a new doctrine. I heard this as early as 1969.)

<= span style=3D'font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-fa= mily: Symbol'>· The Capstone is now here, because it is the coming of the Lord and it came in 1963, because Christ is the Headstone.

<= span style=3D'font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-fa= mily: Symbol'>· The Tent that Brother Branham seen in a visi= on is already past and people don’t know it.

<= span style=3D'font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-fa= mily: Symbol'>· The Seven Angels that came for the Opening of the Seals are the seven theophanies of the 7 church ages’ messengers.=

<= span style=3D'font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-fa= mily: Symbol'>· The little room that the Angel said that he would meet Brother Branham in, that has already been fulfilled when Brother Branham went into a room and stayed for eight days to receive the Revelatio= n of the Seals.”

&nb= sp;

That is = C.W. Wood’s doctrine that: “the revelation of the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders is now coming to the Church.” He compliments certain ministe= rs who helped him in the early days to get a revelation of the Seventh Seal. H= is book was written in 2002, and he is projecting here that this is more or le= ss all the pieces of the Seventh Seal revelation that came to various ministers that are put together in this little book here to make a picture.

That is = about the content of this little book, and I will start answering these statements and these questions that he answered for himself, and I state here with all respect to Brother Woods as an old man, and as an elder. The Bible said, &#= 8220;Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father.” And may I take this opportunity here to entreat this aged man. I cannot judge his life as I do = not know this man. I cannot judge the man’s sincerity, but I could judge = his teachings by the Word of God and by the message of the hour, and I have alr= eady done so and found the teachings of Brother C. W. Wood to be heretical, to be antichrist, of Satan, the Devil and all that I have read to you concerning the contents of this book are all heresies.

Elder Wo= od’s seventh seal/seven thunders program has some popularity in India and Africa, because of his publications and other mediums. Although I have given this heretic brother his due respect as an elder, his program is Satanic, cunning and deceptive and is in opposition and defiance to the program of God in ev= ery respect. He advocates that the seventh seal/seven thunders were revealed, t= hat Brother Branham was the second coming of the Lord Jesus. However, the revelation was hidden and was progressively revealed within a period of 20 years, which accounts for the half an hour silence. Although his interpretations and damnable heresies which constitute his program were thoroughly exposed on E.O.D.H book 9. It is necessary to list his heresies = and expositions in this work in an abbreviated form. They are as follows:

&nb= sp;

Exposition of heresies

&nb= sp;

I will address these statements or questi= ons that he wrote here in an orderly fashion.

Heretical Article No. 112/329: Qu= ote C. W. Wood: “The questions in the minds of many honest message believers, concerning the great seventh seal. Was it revealed to the Prophet William Branham, and if so, did he preach the mystery of it. Let it be said in the beginning that this writer, is convinced that the answer to both of these questions is a definite “Yes”. We grant that the mystery was preached in riddles, and that the revelation given to Brother Branham, in M= arch of 1963 was progressive in that it deepened until the time of his departure”. “Christ is the mystery of the seventh seal revealed”.

Question # 109: “Was the Se= venth Seal revealed in riddles and parables 1964-1965?”

E.O.D.H. Answer: Our answer to that is, No! The Sev= enth Seal was not revealed in riddles and parables from 1963 to 1965, and even after = 1965 up to the present time. We can sufficiently prove that by the scriptures and the quotations of Brother Branham. I am going to quote Brother Branham and = let my audience judge whether Brother Branham spoke in riddles or parables.

A parabl= e is a group of words put together wherein lies a hidden mystery; it needs interpretation. E.g. the parable of the sower: “A sower went forth to= sow seeds, and some fell by the wayside and some upon a rock and some among tho= rns and some upon good soil.” It needed interpretation.

If you c= ompare the parable with the interpretation, they are two different things. One you could understand plainly, and if you do not know what the interpretation is= , the parable will puzzle you. This statement of our elder Brother Wood is saying, that the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders was revealed in riddles by our precious Brother Branham from 1963 to 1965. Also that such a great revelation remain= ed silent for twenty years from 1963, which is the half an hour silence.

Now Mr. = Wood, I am asking you for one quotation to prove such a statement where Brother Bra= nham said at anytime, throughout anyone of his messages that the Seventh Seal/Se= ven Thunders was revealed or placed in his message in riddles or parables. I challenge Mr. Wood or any preac= her that preaches this message around the world to produce to me any such quotation = to prove that the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders was revealed in riddles and para= bles, and if you cannot do that, you are propagating a heresy. So with all due respect to this elder, Brother Wood, if you cannot produce to us a quotatio= n, then you are propagating your own opinion, your own thoughts, your own idea, your own interpretation, your own ism, and this is what the Prophet of God warned us not to do, to try to interpret the Seventh Seal when it comes.

I recogn= ize this as a heresy, and I am about to prove that Brother Branham did not speak in riddles and he did not speak in parables when he spoke about the Seventh Se= al, Seven Thunders, revealed or not revealed, in 1963 or the years before his departure.

WHAT THIS GREAT SECRET IS, I DO NOT KN= OW

Quote W.M.B.: 567 (1) “So help me, by God I tell the truth…Now, what this great secret is that lay= s beneath this Seal, I do not know. I don't know it. I couldn't make it out. I couldn= 't tell it, just what it said. But I know that it was them seven thunders.” (The seventh= seal 24/3/63, New Ed. Page 512 (322-323)).

Do you hear anything l= ike a parable there? Does this sound to you like a riddle friends? Elder Wood, = does this sound to you like a parable and a riddle? If it sounds like that to yo= u, my brother, you better get a head examination. I am stating here according = to Brother Branham’s conclusion in 1963, when he came to the subject of Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders, opened or not opened, Brother Branham did not speak in riddles or parables, but he spoke plainly. All his statements pertinent to this subject are consistent with his conclusions of 1963, as a= bove, that it is not opened.

I LOOKED FOR INTERPRETATION, I COULDN’T MAKE IT OUT,

= &nb= sp; =

Quote W.M.B.: 567 (2) “I looked for the interpretation that flew across the= re, and I couldn't make it out. That's exactly right, friend. See? The hour isn= 't quite yet for it.” (The Seventh Seal 63-0324e)

Quote: 578-2 {407}“We don't know what it is as yet, because it’= ;s not permitted to be broken." (The seventh seal 63-0324E).

Quote: 571-3 {357} “Don't try to interpret the = things…Everybody understand that now?” ((The seventh seal 63-0324E).

Did anybody hear a rid= dle? [Congregation says, “No!̶= 1;] Did anyone hear a parable? [Congreg= ation says, No!] How many says this is plain speech? [Congregation says, “Yes!”] The Seal is not reveale= d. He could not make it out.

HE HID THE 7^TH SEAL – HE WOULDN’T PERMIT IT<= o:p>

&nb= sp; Quote W.M.B.: 33-3 Remember, He hid t= he Seventh Seal from us. He wouldn't do it. When the Angel stood day by day telling it, but then He wouldn't do it on that one. Said, "There's silence in heaven." No one knew. It = was the coming of the Lord. (Souls That Are In Prison Now 63-1110m).

That is = 1963, the eleventh month. He is still holding that vision, saying that the seventh seal was not opened, because it was the coming of the Lord.

THE SEVENTH SEAL, HE WOULDN'T PERMIT IT

Quote W.M.B.: 23-4 076 Now we see these things. Remember the Seven Seals is finis= hed. And when those seven revealed truths... One of them He wouldn't permit us to know. How many was here at the Seven Sea= ls? Just about all of you, I guess. See? The Seventh Seal, He wouldn't permit it. (Souls In Prison Now 63-1110M)= .

&nb= sp;

Unquote.= That is English. Many times Brother Branham said, “When the seven seals was opened,” you know people hold that? But he is correcting himself here. He started to say “seven seals”, and t= hen he checked back, he said, “One of them He wouldn’t permit.̶= 1;

WAITING FOR SEVENTH SEAL TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH COMING OF CHRIST

Quote W.M.B.: 182“This Book's already opened (That's right) just waiting for the Seventh Seal to be identified with the co= ming of Christ. (What Shall I Do With Jesus Called Christ 63-1124M).

= ;

Certainl= y the book is opened; all the written mysteries were revealed by Revelation 10:7, just waiting for the seventh seal to be revealed. When it is, it will ident= ify the second coming of Christ. The following quotation proves this undeniable fact.

SEVENTH SEAL HASN’T OPENED YET – THAT’S HIS COMIN= G

Quote W.M.B.: 26-4 That Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you know; that's His coming. (The Feast= Of The Trumpets 64-0719m).

SEVENTH ANGEL WAS TO OPEN SIX-SEAL MYSTERY

Quote: 270“The seventh angel was to open the six-seal mystery.”= ; (Proving His Word 64-0816).

We have = examined quotations of the prophet from the opening of the seals, and after the seal= s in 1964. We have not heard a riddle yet. We have not heard a parable as yet. We have not heard it mysteriously yet. This mysterious thing adds up to riddle= s. It equals a parable. It’s the same heretical terminology that says the revelation of the Seventh Seal is hidden in the message of Brother Branham = in a mysterious form. Elder Wood is only using a different terminology for the same heresy and same dogma. He is calling it riddles and parables. This doctrine originated in N= ew York, and traveled down to other men, and Elder Wood, you yourself complimented certain men from whom you got this revelation. You said, “This writer will be eternally grateful to one such precious brother, Jinks A. Fussell, who in the early 80's first quickened my mind= to the mystery hidden under this great Seal.” And then you said that you read a book by Owen Jorgenson, saying that the Seventh Seal is revealed.

Elder Wood, you are sa= ying that you started to get the revelation in the early eighties and you got if from these men, and you had no knowledge that the Seal was opened, and you = got the revelation that the Seal was opened and what it is. And you also stated here, right in your foreword, that you now have your independent view point, by taking all these revelations from t= he different men and tying it together with your revelation. Yes my brother, i= t is an independent view point from the Word of God. It is an independent view p= oint from Brother Branham, and from the Message of the Hour. It is an ‘ism’. It’s a h= eresy. It’s an interpretation on the Word of God.

TEACHING LAST SEVEN THUNDERS – COULDN’T GET ROOM TO DO = IT

Quote W.M.B.: 16“I have com= e here for the purpose of teaching the last vials… and the last seven thunders… we couldn't get room to do it. (God Of This Evil Age 65= -0801M).

&nb= sp;

That is = 1965. Brother Branham’s last quotation on the Seventh Seal, Seven Thunders, he said,

Quote W.M.B.: “Ju= st wait till we get in to open…them seven thunders.” (And Know= eth It Not 65-0815).

Up to 1965, befo= re he left the earth, that was the last statement on the Seven Thunders. Not one place did he say to search for it because it is in riddles or parables or mysteriously hidden in the Message. Anybody that says that is saying someth= ing wrong. And with all due respect to you as an old man, I am advising you to = turn from your heresy. It is your viewpoint; mixed up with your teachers’ heresies. Yes. And it forms an ‘ism’. It is of the Devil. It is Satanic.

Heretical Article No. 113/330: Qu= ote C. W. Wood: “There would be ab= out the space of half an hour of time pass, according to Rev. 8:1, before the revelation would start. (Perhaps about 20 years, if one day is a thousand years with the Lord.) If this writer’s memory is correct, so= me of our minister brothers began to understand the Mystery under the Seventh = Seal in about 1983, perhaps a few a little ahead of that. From 1963 until 1983, = is twenty years and the silence in Heaven was broken as God began to show the opening of the Seal.” (Christ is the mystery of the seventh seal revealed).

Question # 110: “Is the half an hour sil= ence 20 years, from 1963 to 1983?”

E.O.D.H. Answer: I address your next statement which says, that= the ‘half an hour silence’ equals twenty years. When you calculated “one day is a thousand years with the Lord”, then 30 minutes divided into 1000 gave you twenty years or half an hour silence.

There is= not a single scripture or quotation to support this heresy. Therefore, this claim= is false. Nowhere did Brother Branham interpret the half hour silence to be any period of years. All that he said was that the reason there was silence in heaven is that the secret of the 7^th seal wouldn’t be given away to Satan. (The seventh seal 63-0324E).

Seeds of discrepancy

&nb= sp;

The prophet did not preach the seventh seal in riddles or mysteriously like Mr. Coleman phrased the same heresy. Your view point is based upon your misunderstanding of Brother Branham’s teachings on the Son of Man. Because of seeds of discrepancy, which were planted in you by Jinks, Jorgenson and others, you have erroneou= sly assumed that the prophet was preaching in riddles the seventh seal, and the coming of the Lord was fulfilled in him, the forerunner; Malachi 4: 5&6. That is gross deception. The teachings of the son of man revelation is in a different category. John the Baptist never preached himself as the son of man, and the coming of the Lor= d. The Pharisees assumed that heresy. However, Jesus was the coming of the Lor= d, a type of Revelation 10:1. (Matthew 16:13-18).

You soun= d to me more like a mathematician than a gifted servant of God. You mean to tell me that Brother Branham was so ignorant that when he came to that Seal he could not say what you are saying? With all th= ose learned men around Brother Branham, if he did not have the education, don’t you think that he would have asked those men to do some mathema= tics for him? So, Elder Wood, stop mixing up people in India, Africa and around the world where your b= ooks go. This lesson here is going out to India to be printed to meet y= our heresy on the field.

&nb= sp;          Elder Wood is saying that the half an hour silence equals twenty years and it sta= rted from 1963 to 1983. Do you understand this heresy? Since the half an hour silence equals twenty years, from 1963 to 1983 God was silent on the Seventh Seal. So after 1983 the revelation started to come out from different ministers in portions. Here, twenty years later from 1983, it brings us to 2003. Now the perfect revelat= ion is written by Elder Wood, because he made a collection from all these bright brothers who started to get the revelation from 1983. He is now sending out this book with his own version= and his own viewpoint of the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders. I say that this is wr= ong! And again I challenge you, Elder Wood, I challenge your agents, I challenge those that propagate your heresy, to bring to me one single quotation from = the Message of the Hour to prove to me that the half an hour silence under the Seventh Seal is twenty years and it started in 1963. If you cannot do that, turn loose of your heresy! I advise all that read these books and all who propagate these heresies to turn loose of them. It is antichrist. It is of = the devil.

He is cl= aiming that the silence was broken in 1983. While in New York, Mr. Coleman claims that the silence was broken in 1973. Elder Wood brought it up to 1983; and said the silence and the revelation of the Seventh Seal started coming out. He cannot produce one quotation or one scripture, even because this heresy is contrar= y to the plan and the program of God.

Elder Wo= od you are telling me that the revelation of the Seventh Seal took 20 years to sta= rt, just to start; and a further 20 years to mature. So it took 40 years for the revelation of the Seventh Seal to be brought down to me on a book called, “Christ Is the Mystery of The Seventh Seal revealed”. This is heresy! This is senili= ty! You need a head examination old man. This has broken the order of Almighty God = in every respect from Genesis to Revelation.&= nbsp;

I want y= ou to show me in the Bible where a revelation took 40 years to come to any people, after it was revealed to a prophet. When God reveals his secret to a prophet the time has come for them to comprehend it.

How long= did it take the First Seal revelation to come to a prophet and God’s people?= It came in seconds. Brother Branham could not figure out the revelation, he was searching all kinds of books. Then he said, ‘The Lord came down and t= here was the revelation. It’s “THUS SAITH THE LORD”. It came to him in seconds. The Sec= ond Seal came to him in seconds on the next day. All the six Seals never took a year, or two years or twenty years, they took a matter of seconds even beca= use God had His channel standing there, Amos 3:7, His provided way to receive the revelation.

&nb= sp;          It’s not years that brings the revelation. No. It is the program of God, His ord= ained gift to bring the Word of God:

Amos 3:7 <Surely the Lord God will = do nothing but He revealeth His secrets to His servants the prophets.>

That is = how the revelation comes. It is not a matter of time. The revelation of the first S= ix Seals came immediately to Brother Branham and likewise to the elect who hea= rd him. That pattern would not be changed for the Seventh Seal, when it is bro= ken to the public.

Nowhere = in scripture when God ever had to reveal His secret unto His people or to His servants d= id it take that course, of years upon= years, to do that. It cannot be found in the Bible. The time has come for the elec= t to hear, recognize and act upon the Word for their respective age when God rev= eals his secret to the Prophet of that age.

When God revealed the revelation of the gospel to Paul, he was a light to the Gentil= es. They understood the first coming of Christ immediately. The same pattern followed in every age. If the last church age messenger received the revela= tion of the seventh seal in 1963, the elect would have had the revelation immediately as they received the first six seals, even though they were a little flock.

It says = here, ‘The revelation came progres= sively to various ministers to form a complete revelation which is now present= ed in this book.” Now, thi= s also is out of the regular pattern of Almighty God. It is outside of the program= of God. It never happened in scripture before. My beloved, God does not use group= s of men.

GOD NEVER DID USE A GROUP OF MEN

= ; Quote W. M. B.: 154 You can't go unde= r a group of men. I defy any time that it ever went--God ever did use a group of men. He uses one man (It's exactly.), one man at a time, 'cause two men's g= ot' 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 62-0603).

Quote: E-16 Now, He can't do it in a group. Y= ou can't do it. It just never has been done. He never did use a group, never d= id. He uses one single person... One person He deals with. He didn't even have a Moses and Elijah the same time. He couldn't have Elijah and Elisha the same time. He couldn't have John and Jesus the same time. He's always got one, because He gets that one person into His Divine will. (The Identified C= hrist Of All Ages 64-0401).

GOD ALWAYS USES A SINGLE PERSON – THAT’S ALWAYS BEEN HIS PROGRAM

Quote: 44 God always uses a single individual, just one, never a organizat= ion, never a denomination. He uses one single person, because we different, all = one from another. There was never two major prophets on the earth at one time: never. See, He doesn't do it, because He just speaks to that one. When that one's gone, He raises another to speak at that time. Remember, that's always been His program. (The Voice Of The Sign 64-0214).

&nb= sp;

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 ma= jor 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 t= ime. And the infinite God never changes His program. He must always stay with wh= at He started with. (The Evening Messenger 63-0116).

Heretical Article 114/331: Quote C. W. Wood: “The o= pening of the Seventh Seal was over a period of time, it was in three stages. The Prophet said, “It’s in a threefold manner.” “When t= he Seventh Seal was opened to the Prophet, there was about one half hour of silence. The public received no revelation concerning it. Twenty years pass= ed and God opened the Seal to a few brothers (In the early 80’s). Now, twenty more years have passed and the Mystery is being revealed to the Brid= e in general. We are looking for the Resurrection of the Dead in Christ! Amen.&#= 8221; (Christ is the mystery of the seventh seal revealed).

Question # 111: “Was the Se= venth Seal revealed progressively and then given to several minister brothers ove= r a period of time and then the Bride in general? Does such teaching account for the three-fold manner of the Seventh Seal?”

E.O.D.H. Answer: We have already = proven by the scriptures and the message of the hour that the Seventh Seal was not revealed to Brother Branham in 1963. Also that the half an hour silence is = not twenty years and that the revelation of the Seventh Seal did not start comi= ng to the five fold ministry in 1983, thus this heresy is automatically exposed and destroyed by the Word of God.

I will f= urther prove for the convenience of Mr. Wood and for the deliverance of many souls from this diabolical heresy, that the three fold manner of the Seventh Seal= is not what is projected in this heresy, which states that “twenty years= is the half an hour silence. The public received no revelation in that period = of time until another twenty years within which time the ministers first recei= ved the revelation, which is now coming to the Bride.”

This sys= tem which Mr. Wood advocates is contrary because the seal was not even opened, therefore it could not have come down to the five fold ministry nor the chu= rch in general. Here is what the prophet said about the three fold manner of the Seventh Seal.

&nb= sp;

I HAD THE REVELATION THAT REVEALED—IT’S IN A THREEFOLD MANNER

THE MYSTERY LAYING BEHIND SEVEN THUNDERS

Quote= W.M.B.: 557 (4) “I had the revelation that revealed—it's in a threefold man= ner. That, I will speak to you by God's help of a fold of it… those seven thunders that he heard thunder and was forbidden to write, that's what the mystery is laying behind those seven consecutive thunders rolling out. = (The Seventh Seal 63-0324E, New Ed. Page 503 (248).

He never said, “I had the revelation of the Seventh Seal, that revealed ‘IT’”, but “IT’S”= ; in a threefold manner. It was revealed to him that the seventh seal is in a threefold manner. People misinterpret that statement.

He went = on to tell us what was the revelation of the first fold of the Seventh Seal and s= aid that it is hiding in the seven thunders.&n= bsp;

Does thi= s sound like twenty years silence, Elder Wood, ministers or believers?

The humb= le prophet said that he could not go any further. Mr. Wood is not greater than= the prophet. He has lost reverence and fear for the Lord and his Word, and has = made an "ism."

The prop= het further stated that he explained the first fold to the church, the second f= old he refused to disclose and the third fold he could not interpret. It was in= an unknown language. Thus the claims of Mr. Wood’s second and third fold= of a further twenty years, when he claimed that the revelation started coming = to the ministers in 1983, and now in 2003 it is now coming to the Bride, is ve= ry irresponsible, presumptuous, mathe= matically intellectual, heretical and of the antichrist. He is guilty of disobeyi= ng the prophet and making an "ism."

MAKE NO ISM – TO THIS TIME IT ISN’T OPENED

Quote W.M.B.: 577 (2) And now, if this tape would happen to fall into the hands of some persons somewhere, don't try to make any kind of an "ism" ou= t of it…because this great secret is so great that God wouldn't even let J= ohn write it…but to this time, it isn't opened. (The Seventh Seal 63-= 0324E, New Ed. Pages 521 (400)).

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO INTERPRET, STOP! GO NO FURTHER THAN THIS=

Quote: 559 (3) Now, I don't know what... I know the next step there, but I don't know how to interpret that. It won't be long. I've got it wrote down here when it happened, if you can see here, "STOP! Go no further than this right here." I'm not prone t= o be a fanatic-just telling the truth. (The Seventh Seal 63-0324E, New Ed. P= age 504 (261)).

ONE THING IN UNKNOWN LANGUAGE, I CANNOT INTERPRET

Quote: 564 (2) And in Sa= bino Canyon, He said, "This is the third pull." And there's three great things that goes with it, and one unfolded today, or yesterday, the other one unfolded today, and there's one thing that I cannot interpret, because it's in an unknown language. But I was standing right there and looked right straight at it, a= nd this is the third pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God... Oh, my. Tha= t's the reason all heaven was silent. (The Seventh Seal 63-0324E 3, New Ed. Page 509 (299-300)).

CHECKED TO STOP, REASON SEVENTH SEAL NOT REVEALED

Quote: 564 (301) Now, I'd better stop right here. See? I just feel checked= not to say no more about it. See? So just remember, the Seventh Seal, the reaso= n it was not opened (See?), the reason He did not reveal it, no one should know about it. (The Seventh Seal 63-0324E, New Ed. Page 509 (301-302)).

ONE FOLD SPOKEN, SEVEN THUNDERS WILL UNFOLD MYSTERY AT CHRIST’= ;S COMING

Quote W.M.B.: 575-4 {390 } Now, do you notice on the opening of t= his Seventh Seal, it's also in a threefold mystery. This one I have…will speak and have spoke, that it is the mystery of the seven thunders. The sev= en thunders in heaven will unfold this mystery. It'll be right at the coming of Christ, because Christ said no one knew when He would return. (The Seve= nth Seal 63-0324E, New Ed. Page 520(391).

God uses= an individual. That is what the Messenger said. Elder Wood, you are telling me that this revelation came in a matter of time, progressively. And it came in parts to various ministers and it is now condensed to form the perfect revelation. That is not the patter= n of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth or Sixth Seal. It is not the pattern of the Churc= h Ages either. The revelation was revealed to one man. And God does not use groups= of men, he uses an individual. Now this is a very popular heresy around the message, where they say that the Seventh Seal revelation came progressively= .

Brothers= , did the First Seal come progressively to the followers of the message? No! Seco= nd, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth? No! It came in a certain pattern. Yes! And now= here can they show you that Brother Branham opened the Seventh Seal and hid the revelation in riddles and parables, and what they call, ‘mysteriously hidden in the message’.

So now t= he Seventh Seal is not progressively = coming, and it is not coming to various mi= nisters to form a complete picture, because it breaks the entire pattern of the scr= iptures and breaks the program of God in bringing revelation unto His people. The secret things belong unto the Lord. And He said, He will reveal it to His prophets. Now, if revelations used to come progressively, from the day of Pentecost until now, they would have had the revelation of the Seals. But a= ll the Seals waited for the last day to be revealed. So revelation does not co= me in a matter of time or progressively and it does not come as a piece here a= nd a piece there and a piece over here and brought together to form a picture.
Elder Wo= od, with all respect to you, you are talking nonsense, real nonsense. And anybody th= at believes you believes nonsense= . You do not even know the ABC of God’s Bible. You do not even know the ABC= of God’s program. Why did you interfere with this seal? You are taking t= oo much upon yourself, as Korah, Abiram and Dathan. Moses told them, “Ye take too much upon yourselves.”

The prop= het warned you not to make an ‘ism’, and not to make an interpretat= ion. Who gave you the authority to interpret the half an hour silence as twenty years? Where did you get that authority from? Where did you get that author= ity to say that the revelation is coming progressively, and it is coming to many men?

Heretical Article No. 11= 5/332: Quote C. W. Wood: “His emphasis was on t= he fact that Jesus Christ had come to earth in the body form of a prophet, to fulfill Luke 17:22-30, Rev. 10:1-3, and other related scriptures. This comi= ng is now history, as we look back and see what God has done. In Luke 17:24, t= he Lord Jesus did come as the lightening. Can we see that the prophet clearly spoke of two comings of the Lord, one before the rapture, in the body form = of a prophet and one later in the clouds to catch the bride away? The Son of Man came down to enter into a son of man, a prophet to prepare his bride for rapture. (Christ is the mystery of the seventh seal revealed.)

Question # 112: “Is Brother Branham Malachi 4:5 & 6, the forerunner or the second coming of Jesus Christ in a bodily form?”

E.O.D.H. Answer: All right, let us deal with this. You have a very good point here; I = must compliment you, though I admonish you and entreat you as a father, because = you are an elder. You say here; “The Seventh Seal revelation is a coming = of Christ, and that coming of Christ was in the prophet William Branham.”= ;

I agree that the Seventh Seal is the coming of t= he Lord. That was fully declared by the prophet of God in so many words. He sa= id that is what was hiding under the Seventh Seal, and he further stated that = we did not get the revelation because it is the coming of the Lord. This is the secret under the Seventh Seal. I agree with that. Something took place in 1= 963, and I believe that you are getting a little glimpse of the event of the ope= ning of the Seals. But you are lacking knowledge and you are misplacing this gre= at revelation, even because you got your head into it.

C= oming of Christ misplaced

You don’t have any revelation on the Seventh Seal. You have no revelation on the ‘half = an hour silence’. You have no business interpreting the ‘half an h= our silence’. You have no busin= ess saying what the Seventh Seal is and place Brother Branham into your heresy = of a coming of the Lord.

Now catc= h this line here. This old Brother is not saying that Brother Branham is God. He h= as a good line on it. But he is saying that Brother Branham fulfilled the coming= of the Lord. “When Christ came He went down into His prophet William Bra= nham and that was the coming of the Lord.” I defy that statement.

This is = a heresy that is becoming popular amongst message followers because it is now dawning upon them, after many years, that at the opening of the Seals there was a g= reat event that took place. And like Mr. Wood here is misplacing it, they, the f= ollowers of the message, are now misplacing= the coming of the Lord. Now they have got to misplace it because Brother Branham never revealed it. He only recognized that it’s the coming of the Lor= d. The Seventh Seal, Seven Thunders is the coming of the Lord. But it was not reve= aled to him. Therefore he never preached it and never lined it up.

These me= n think that their brains are so big and that they have so much revelation, and they have so much understanding that they could now tell us about the coming of = the Lord. And our precious old man Brother is saying here that the coming of th= e Lord was in Brother Branham. Let us examine that in the message. Let us examine = that in the scripture.

In 1933,= the voice of Almighty God spoke at the Ohio River and a pillar of light came do= wn and said, “As John the Baptist foreran my first coming, so shall your message forerun my second coming.” Elder Wood, was Brother Branham th= e forerunner, or was he the coming of the Lord? And the Lord= in His mercy, for us not to miss this revelation, He called John the Baptist’s name. To show you how it was supposed to be let us go back = to the type.

Brothers= and Sisters, John the Baptist foreran the first coming of the Lord but he was n= ot the coming of the Lord. But there= was a spirit in that time that tried to ask John if he was the Messiah, and this = is the same spirit upon our precious Brother Woods, that is trying to make Bro= ther Branham both the forerunner and the coming of the Lord. Brother Branham can= not be both forerunner and the coming of the Lord. The forerunner is different = from the coming of the Lord. He is typed unto John the Baptist. John the Baptist= was the forerunner, Jesus was the coming of the Lord; the forerunner is differe= nt.

Now, if the forerunner is the coming of= the Lord, then Brother Branham foreran himself. When you forerun somebody, you = are introducing them. John the Baptist introduced the Messiah, “behold the Lamb of God that taketh awa= y the sin of the world”. How a man could introduce himself? No. You have misplaced that. With all the little understanding that you have that the co= ming of the Lord is under the Seventh Seal, you are mixing up yourself here frie= nd, to state that the coming of the Lord was in Brother Branham. He could not be the forerunner, and the coming of the Lord. You break every scripture in th= e Bible; you break every type in the Bible.

How on earth Eleazer could be Isaac? Our Eleazer today sent by Abraham, who types God, was sent out to find a Bride = for Isaac. Eleazer went down there by the guidance of an Angel, to find the Bri= de, and when he brought the Bride, Isaac was a different man, he was the bridegroom, a type of the Son of Man, the revealed Word of God, the Lord Je= sus Christ.

If Brother Branham was the coming of the Lord, then my friend, how could it say in Mathew 25:6, “Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him̶= 1;. One fellow here who was the forerunner was calling out to the virgins, and saying, “Look, the Bridegroom is coming down there, you leave from he= re, leave me now and go down there to meet the Bridegroom”.

Brother Branham could not be the foreru= nner, and the coming of the Lord. The coming of the Lord is the Word of God. The coming of the Lord is the Son of Man. Oh this is sweet. Do you see how plain this is? Look at the other scripture, friends, “Behold the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud and all that do wickedly shall be stubble and the day that cometh sha= ll burn them up sayeth the Lord of host,” “but behold I send unto you Elijah the prophet, before the great and= the dreadful day of the Lord”. Malachi 4 was sent before the coming of the Lord. Anytime you take the forerunner, and make him the Messiah at t= he same time, there is a spirit upon you, this is the same spirit that was upon the people there that went to John the Baptist, and Brother Branham verified this in the Church age, and on Questions and Answers he said that = got to be, because that is the ministry of Elijah, and there will be a spirit in this hour that cause people to think that this Elijah, is the Christ. And Brother Branham denied that in many places, he said “I am not the anointed one, I am not the Messiah”, = and John the Baptist said that, “= I am not him, I am not even worthy to loose his shoe latchet, but he is coming a= fter me”.

A SPIRIT= IN THE END TIME WILL SEDUCE THEM AND MAKE THEM BELIEVE THAT

&n= bsp;         Q= uote W.M.B.: 328-2 I want to make one more comparison between the Laodicean prophet-messenger and John, the prophet-messenger who preceded Jesus' first coming. The people in John's day mistook him for the Messiah. John 1:19-20,= … And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ."=

&nb= sp;          Now this last day prophet-messenger will have such power before the Lord that t= here will be those who mistake him for the Lord Jesus. (There will be a spiri= t in the world at the end time that will seduce some and make them believe th= is.

…But don't you believe it. He is not Jesus Christ. He is not the Son of G= od. HE IS ONE OF THE BRETHREN, A PROPHET, A MESSENGER, A SERVANT OF GOD. He nee= ds no greater honor bestowed upon him than that which John received when he was the voice that cried, "I am not He, BUT HE IS COMING AFTER ME." (Laodicean Church Age - Church Age Book Cpt.9).<= /o:p>

John the Baptist, Malachi 3, the foreru= nner was not the Son of Man, the coming of Christ. Now, how on earth could he ma= ke such a mistake?

Alright, Malachi 4 then is the forerunn= er, he is the anointed Elijah, but Revelation 10:1 is the coming of the Lord. Ther= e we are; separate these two ministries. Malachi 4, represents Brother Branham, = the forerunner, but does not represent the coming of the Lord. He is the foreru= nner to forerun the coming of the Lord. Malachi 4 foreran Revelation 10:1, the mighty Angel that came down from Heaven: And the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a Shout and the Voice of th= e Archangel, and the Trumpet of God. And about th= at time when that happens, the dead in Christ is about to rise, therefore this understanding, this revelation is wrong, brother. It is of the antichrist; = it is heresy.

How on earth can you make the forerunne= r the coming of Christ? How can you make John the Baptist Jesus? It is craziness.= How on earth can you make Eleazer, Isaac? Impossible! John the Baptist is John = the Baptist, Jesus is Jesus, and we believe that Jesus is the coming of the Lor= d.

Mr. Wood said that Luke 17: 22-30 is now history, because Christ came into Brother Branham on Sunset Mountain as the lightning. Matthew 24: 27 declares that Christ comes from the East. = Sunset Mountain is in Arizona, Western United States. Brother Branham was born under the sign of = the western stars and his ministry prospered fully in the west. He went there f= or the opening of the seals according to prophecy. Mr. Wood seems to lack knowledge of the cardinal points as much as he lacks revelation on the mess= age and ministry of Malachi 4:5-6.

Heretical Article 116/333: Quote = C. W. Wood: The opening of the seven= th seal was the coming of the headstone to cap the pyramid. It was the Stone c= ut out of the mountain without hands. When the Lord Jesus Christ came on Sunset Mountain, He was the Headstone that the Prophet declared would come and cap the Pyram= id. He had been rejected in the days of His Ministry 2000 years ago, by all exc= ept His Elect Bride, and today, when He came again as the Headstone to cap the Pyramid, He was rejected by all except His Bride. (Christ is the mystery of= the seventh seal revealed).=

Question # 113: “Is the coming of the Lo= rd the headstone in His first coming or His second coming, hidden in Brother Branham?”

=

=

Headstone and cornerstone

=

E.O.D= .H. Answer: Mr. Wood believes that the co= ming of Christ was in Brother Branham, then Mr. Wood, is saying that the head= stone came because Christ is the Head of the Church, so the headstone did com= e in 1963. Now that’s a popular doctrine which we dealt with before. I am going to prove this scripturally wrong, by the first coming of the Lord.

Now, what they are banking on is that s= ince the Lord is the Head of the church, and He is here, then He is the headston= e. That’s wrong. Jesus came the first time and He preached the Gospel, He was on eart= h, and the Cornerstone never did come until the day of Pentecost. The Cornerst= one was an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the coming of the Lord was in a different category all entirely, but the Cornerstone did come on the day of Pentecost. The opening of the Seals brings Christ in the Word form; Son of = Man, Theophany, down to the earth here, but the headstone is the coming outpouri= ng of the Holy Spirit into the Bride of Christ. Isn’t that plain? [Congregation says “Amen!”= ] It has got to type out with that.

Now, anybody could have risen up in tha= t time and say, “But Christ is here already so we have the Cornerstone in us= .” No, they were not so foolish. “Tarry in Jerusalem until you receive the Corners= tone in you, then shall you receive power to be my witnesses.”<= /span>

The opening of the Seals brought Christ= , the Word to the earth, the second coming of Jesus Christ, but that is phase one. Jesus is yet on the altar of sacrifice and will appear at the rapture of the church. Now, He is coming into His Bride, to be glorified in the end time. =

2 Thessalonians 1:10 <When He shall come to be glorified in His saints… ><= /o:p>

He never came here to stay in one ma= n and be glorified in one man. He came here with the intention to come into H= is end time Bride. When He comes into the end time Bride the Seventh Seal is broken to the public. Then everybody will know that the second coming of Ch= rist took place in 1963. It will be a public declaration.

All righ= t, let me show you that in the Word quickly. Christ was on earth. He was there for three and a half years. He was crucified, died, buried and resurrected. The Cornerstone had come but the coming of Christ was not broken to the public yet by the Bride. When the Cornerstone came, Brother Peter came outside and then broke the Seal, the Seventh Seal, the coming of the Lord to the public. He said, “Let the whole house of Israel = know that this same Jesus, whom you have crucified God had made him both Lord and Christ”. It was a p= ublic declaration, a type of the Seventh Seal. One day before Peter made that pub= lic declaration, the Seventh Seal was going on in secret, and certain people ha= d known it on the earth. But when He stood out there, he broke it to the public. Oh glory to God!

Brother Branham said when the Seventh Seal starts, it will start in secret somewher= e, and will then be broken to the public. How do you interpret that Brother Br= uce? I don’t interpret. No, I just preach, what the prophet of God said and what the Word of God declared. What the message says. But I know what I bel= ieve too, in my heart.

Now, do you see how clear this doctrine= is? [Congregation says, “Amen!= 221;] You have not followed cunningly devised fables, but you have followed a sure wo= rd of prophesy that shineth more and more to the perfect day. You think anybod= y is able to refute what I am saying? You think anybody is able to tear up by th= e message and the Word of God the things that I teach you? [Congregation says, “No!”] It is a total impossibility! And I challenge every false prophet around the world, I challenge Elder Wood, I challenge h= is agents, I challenge Santiago, I challenge all the false prophets around the world: come tear up what I am saying. It is a total impossibility. What I am saying is “Thus saith = the Lord!”

Why are you saying it is “Thus saith the Lord?” All the Words of God are “Th= us saith the Lord”, and I am so confident that I speak the Words of God = that I could boldly say, “Thus saith the Lord”, what I preach is the= Word of God.

Now, do you know that the Word of God in the Bible is more sure than if a brother will rise up and prophesy and say, “Thus saith the Lord”. He co= uld say ‘Thus saith the Lord’ and it may not be the Word. But when = you take the Word of God and say ‘Thus saith the Lord’, it is surely ‘Thus saith the Lord’ because “forever Oh Lord thy word is settled in heaven”. You better know where you= are standing before you say that though.

Mr. Wood should not say that about his heresies. It’s blasphemy. You can only say so, when you see that revelation into a certain place that you know, that = what you are saying is ‘Thus saith the Lord’.

I am not afraid of a false prophet. I am not afr= aid of a false anointed one. I am not afraid of a heresy, or anything that shall rise. If you are able to challenge my words, challenge it in India, challenge it in Africa. Yes sir. ‘Who has more corn, feed more fowls!’ Yes sir. This is= the Word of the Lord. I will say it this way: “Who has more carcass, feed more eagles!” [Congregation rejoices.]

Now that is sufficient friends. People cannot divide the coming of the Son of m= an from the coming of the Cornerstone= or the Headstone. How unspiritual they are, and it is right in the Bible. Jesus came and they never called that the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, the se= al of God. That was His coming! Jesus was called the ‘Stone’. The first coming of the Lord is called = the ‘stone’. It only became the cornerstone when the outpouring cam= e. The Stone which the builders have rejected has become the Head of the corner and this is marvelous in our eyes. Jesus came as the Stone. It is only when= He was rejected, he became the Cornerstone. And what was the Sto= ne? The coming of the Lord.

At the Opening of the Seals the ‘Stone’ came. And again the Organizations rejected the Open= ing of the Seals. It is not the coming of the Cornerstone because the pyramid w= ent up, so it is coming as the Headstone. It was called Cornerstone down there because the church’s foundation was laid and there was only one place to fit the Stone and that is at the corner = of the building. It was the outpouring. But now the building went up through S= even Church Ages, so the same Cornerstone becomes the Headstone. It is another outpouring of the Holy Sp= irit. It is the same article of Pentecost that the church is now going to receive under the title of the Capstone or the Headstone; Christ coming to be glori= fied in his saints in the fullness of the Godhead.

Heretical Article 117/334: = Quote C. W. Wood: &#= 8220;The first stage of the Rapture is in progress, and has been so since the Seals = were opened. We must be very near to the second stage, which will be the Voice to call the dead Bride from the graves. We are showing that the Rapture is bei= ng brought to pass in three stages, over a period of time.” (Christ is t= he mystery of the seventh seal revealed).

&nb= sp;

Question # 114: “Has the raptu= re started since 1963? Are there three stages?”

E.O.D.H. Answer: Elder Wood is saying that the rapture is in progress and there are th= ree stages. I am going to dish up that in a few minutes. You are telling me that the rapture started in 1963. = What is the rapture? It’s the mysterious catching away of the elected Bride after her body change or translation like Enoch or Jesus.

The Bible says that we shall be changed in thirty years? [Congregation says, “N= o!”]. Forty years? [Congregation says, &#= 8220;No!”] From 1963 to 2003, we shall be changed in forty years [Congregation says, “No!”]. In other words, we shal= l be changed in forty years. [Congregati= on says, “No!”]. We shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump! And the last trump has not y= et sounded. The body change comes in a moment and in the twinkling of an eye w= hen the last trump is sounded. The rapture follows that mysterious event. =

Only the Shout and the Voice went out in 1963, waiting for the Trumpet, and the = dead in Christ shall rise. So all this is nonsense around the world about the rapture has already started. They have that dogma down there in India; that dogma in Africa, that the rapture has already started since 1963, and we are being raptured. It’s a heresy and it is of the devil. The rapture comes after the translation and we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye= , at the last trump. There is not a scripture or quotation of the prophet to pro= ve such a heresy.

Heretical Article No. 118/335: Qu= ote C. W. Wood: “Brother Branha= m, himself, apparently did not understand the full meaning of the vision for quite a long time. He truly thought he would minister in a huge tent before his ministry was over. A number of statements he made b= acks this up, although it never became a reality. But, if what the Voice told hi= m be true (and we know it was), then the Tent was only a spiritual representation of the Third Pull Ministry. It apparently represented meetings that the Prophet would have where Jesus Chr= ist in him, would re-enact His own Ministry of 2000 years ago, which was the Th= ird Pull Ministry. We are aware of= at least three places where Brother Branham stated, after the Seals were opene= d, that he was expecting to preach under the huge Tent he had seen in the visi= on. Brother Branham had misinterpreted the vision about the Tent. I refer to the part about the Tent being a literal canvas structure. We do well to remember that the Prophet was a man who had thoughts of his own, just as we do, some= of which were right and some wrong! I believe this line of people represented = the Bride who was also to pass through the little room, in a spiritual sense, a= nd receive the same revelations that Brother Branham did in Jeffersonville in the room there. The revelations that came from the opening of the Seals gave them new faith. (Christ is the mystery of the seventh s= eal revealed).

Question # 115: “Is the Tent vision fulfilled? Did Brother Branham misinterpret the vision and does Mr. = Wood have the right interpretation?”

E.O.D.H. Answer: He says that the “tent” is already past. That is, capital NONSENSE. Capital NONSENSE, Elder Wood! “The tent is already p= ast.”

The man that came to the tent on a wheelchair, i= s he already past too? The woman that was on a stretcher and came out healed, is= she already past too? The big line that went down to a city block away, is that already past too? You are talking a bag of nonsense. Unbelief cannot stop t= he promises of God.

All your unbelief in India, Africa and the rest of the world, down in Europe there, where your day of revival is past… All your unbelief in America= , your day of revival is past; you cannot stop the promises of God. It is going to= be here as sure as the world.

Can you stop the sun from shining in the morning= ? It will shine in any case. Regardless of the black clouds of unbelief, they ca= nnot stop the promises of God. He is faithful that promised.

Heretical Article No. 119/336: Quo= te C. W. Wood. “It seems to this writer that the little room or closet, represented the deep secret that veiled the Third Pull Ministry of the Prop= het. I can see where the meeting in the Little Room, or closet, between Brother Branham and the Angel of the Lord, was fulfilled. He was told that the Angel would meet him in the room. That happened when the Prophet went back to Jeffersonville an= d spent several days in a room by himself, where the Seven Seals were revealed to h= im one day at a time. That part of the vision was fulfilled exactly.” (Christ is the mystery of the seventh seal revealed).

Question # 116: “Was the lit= tle room of the great tent vision fulfilled in Brother Branham’s house, w= here he waited on the Lord for the Revelation of the Seals in 1963?” =

E.O.D.H. Answer: Elder Wood said that the little room that Brother Branham was in when= he waited on the seven seals revelation is the “little room” in the “tent”. Look how dumb that is.

This big tent that Brother Branham had seen in h= is vision was supposed to seat 50,000 to 100,000 people, and there was a little room in it (12 feet x 20 feet). Our Brother Wood is saying that the little = room was the room in Brother Branham’s house where he was waiting on the revelation of the Seven Seals. Then, Brother Branham’s house was pret= ty big, brother. It was pretty big to hold between 50,000 to 100,000 people. A= nd if that is that room that Brother Branham spoke about, was it 12 feet x 20 feet? Where was the great crowd going down city blocks from his house, mayb= e to the tabernacle of Brother Branham, with sick people waiting for their heali= ng while he was in the little room? What about the woman on the stretcher and = the man in the wheelchair? Were there any healings taking place while Brother Branham was in the little room? Absolutely not! Brother Branham said, ̶= 0;I cannot get into divine healing during this period of time, my heart is now = set on the Opening of the Seals, therefore we will suspend all healing meetings.” So no= w, this point is not even sensible to argue my brethren.

Now, this is unbelief. This is unbelief that has heaped up to the skies. This bo= ok, “Christ Is The Mystery Of The Seventh Seal Revealed”- It’= s title was forged from a message that Br= other Branham preached, “Christ is The Mystery of God Revealed”= ;. Elder Wood, instead of putting “God revealed”, he put “Seventh Seal Revealed”. He perverted even the title of Brother Branham, and right on the message called “Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed”, Brother Branham said “that is one thing, he has not revealed yet, and that is how he would come, when he will come”. It is under the Seven Thunders. Mr. Wood, y= ou are even perverting the very title of the prophet’s message. Behave yourself Brother.

With all due respect, let me entreat you to turn from your heresy. One place on = your book you said you don’t want any kind of debates. The very reason tha= t you don’t want any debates, I believe is because you are conscious that y= our nonsense cannot hold up in the Word nor the message, so you are afraid of a debate. = But it is going to meet you in any case.

This is high-class nonsense! Go around and tell all those people that you have no authority to interpret the Seventh Seal. Write another book and send it out if you love your soul.= Tell the people around the world that you are wrong and you got heady or mixed u= p in the head and you are going to the doctor for a head examination.=

Heretical Article No. 120/337: Quote C. W. Wood. “Was the third pull ministry completed, was it finished before the prophet was taken up, we bel= ieve that we have proved in previous chapters of this book that the prophet̵= 7;s ministry was finished when he left.” (Christ is the mystery of the seventh seal revealed).

Question # 117: “Was the third pull ministry completed by Brother Branh= am and the opening of the seals?”

E.O.D.H. Answer: The answer to this question is “No”, because the third p= ull ministry was not only for the prophet, according to Mark 11:23. It is also for the church, when they come to perfect faith.

Let us compare Mr. Wood’s teaching with quotations of Brother Branham.

Quote W.M.B.: “I believe that the church of the living God is moving into a sphere now that's going to shake the whole world.” “Oh, it's go= ing to come to pass pretty soon…that that anointing will strike the whole church of the living God, and she'll rise to her feet like a mighty marching army. The sick will be healed by a word; the blind will see; the deaf will hear; the dead will be raised up; and the power of God will shake the world with the church of the living God.”&= nbsp; (Speak To This Mountain, 59-1123, Par. E-62 and E-65).

&nb= sp;

Quote: E-38 “That very same thing that I'm speaking of will be done. There'll be a Power put= into the Church, and now is coming in, that the Holy Spirit will so anoint the people, till they'll speak the Word and It'll create Itself right there. We haven't seen Power like's coming into the Church now. I know it for a fact. “̵= 6;Say unto this mountain be moved. = Don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you've said shall come to pass, = you can have what you have said’-The placing of the Church in position, w= here the Fulness of the Power of the Holy Ghost comes into the Church… it'= ll be here.” (Hear Ye = Him, 60-0213).

Quote: 6-1 The thing that we have looked forward to for so long, or at lea= st many years, four or five years or maybe longer, the third pull has now been vindicated, and I'm sure you all know what it is.” “Now, remember, there'll nev= er be any impersonation of that, 'cause it can't be. It cannot be. Now, it's in existence….R= 21; “Now, it's just happened, so it could identify its presence among you. See?

Heretical Article No. 121/338: Qu= ote C. W. Wood. “From Sunset Mountain, Brother Branham was sent back to Jeffersonville to= have the Seven Mysterious Thunders revealed to him. Each day for seven days one = of the seven angelic beings (Men) entered the room at Jeffersonville with the Prophet, and ga= ve him the revelation to be preached that night, starting with the First Church Age Messenger, the Apostle Paul. On the day that the Seventh Seal was to be preached that night, Brother Branham’s own theophany body appeared to= him and opened the great and mysterious Seventh Seal. The Prophet knew it from = that time on, but the public did not, neither did very many if any, of the Messa= ge Believers catch the revelation at that time”. But, now that the Great Mystery is being revealed to more and more of= the Bride, we see another proof of the nearness of the Rapture.” (Christ = is the mystery of the seventh seal revealed).

Quest= ion # 118: “Did the Theophany= of Brother Branham reveal the seventh seal/seven thunders to him in March 1963, and Paul the Apostle reveal the first seal to him? Were the seven angels who came for the opening of the seals seven theophanies of the seven church age messenger?”

E.O.D.H. Answer: Mr. Wood is assuming that the theophany of the prophet revealed to h= im the seventh seal on the night before Brother Branham spoke on the subject of the seventh seal. There is not one single quotation to support such a ho= rrible lie! If Mr. Wood is speaking the truth then Brother Branham lied on that Sunday Morning when he stated beyond a shadow of a doubt that the seventh s= eal was not revealed to him. Brother Branham said he spoke the truth by God.

WHAT THIS GREAT SECRET IS, I DO NOT K= NOW

Quote W.M.B.: 567 (1) Now, notice. So help me, by God I tell the truth, that these are spiritually discerned to me (See?), discerned by the Holy Spirit. And by every one of them, has identified his place in the Bible. Now, what this great secret is that lays beneath this Seal, I do not know. I don't know it. I couldn't make it out. I couldn't tell it, just what it said. But I know that it was them seven thun= ders uttering themselves right close together, just banging seven different time= s, and it unfolded into something else that I seen.

I call you to repentance

Pastor Michael, I excuse Brother Wood because of his age= . Who do you believe is telling a lie between Mr. Wood and Brother Branham? Y= ou are a young man and for you to accept such dogma and heresies you are worst= off than this old man. Turn loose of this heresy. This is no evidence to prove that the Seventh Seal was revealed.

As for this nonsense that the seven angels are s= even theophanies, I have already proven that wrong. You are a young man and don’t be fooled with such heresies. You need to turn loose from these heresies. All that Mr. Wood said are heresies and that is no defense whatso= ever for what I have preached and sent to you and which is in Book nine occupying the very first place. And for you to accept such dogma is to sink deeper and deeper into heresy. I call you to repentance. I call Brother Wood to repent= ance and I call the whole world to repentance. I call all preachers who propagate that doctrine to repentance. It is of the devil. It is heresy. Turn loose f= rom it, I admonish you!

Neither Paul’s nor Brother Branham’s theophany was employed in the opening of the seals. They were earthly angel= s (men) and not flying angels. Seven heavenly beings flew from eternity by the bat = of an eye and came to the earthly messenger Malachi 4:5&6.

The scripture proves that men are not a= ngels. Angles and sons of God are different beings all entirely:

Hebrews 1:1-4 <God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time p= ast unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by= his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtain= ed a more excellent name than they.>

The scri= pture is plainly dividing here that the son is greater than the angels. And unto the= son he said, sit upon my right hand, and the Lord made the son so much better t= han the angels. That is the scripture that the son is made better than the angl= es, and he never spoke to an angel at anytime to sit upon His right hand. If our theophanies are angels, then God= made a mistake when He told Jesus to sit upon his right hand, because He was an angel. But Jesus is not an angel. No, He was a son. Jesu= s has an angel, but He is not an angel. Likewise the seven Church Ages Messengers= are not heavenl
