FOREWORD
Brother Owen Jorgensen is the author of
the biography of Brother William Marrion Branham (W.M.B.), entitled:
“Supernatural – The Life Of William Branham.” It is a more elaborate and
complete work on the life and ministry of the prophet, than others that were
previously written, namely: “A man sent from God”, “”Footprints on the sands of
time”, “Twentieth century prophet”, “A Prophet visits South Africa” etc. The
message-world welcomes such a work. There were others who made their
contribution and helped by translating and publishing previous books:
“Supernatural - Books 1 to 5.” There is another book entitled, “The 7th
seal – An exposition on the message of the hour”, published in 1982, of which
Jorgensen is also the author.
His
work went well on books 1, 2 and 3 of the biography. However, on books 4, 5 and
6 he injected his heresies on the 7th seal/7 thunders/Tent vision/3rd
pull, which he had previously published on his book entitled: “The 7th
seal – An exposition on the message of the hour.” This work seeks to expose
such heresies. We will add the exposition of the heresies on his 7th
seal book, which were exposed on E.O.D.H. book thirteen in 2005, so that our
readers can compare them with those that were injected into the biography to
see the complete picture.
This man is affiliated with a group and
large network of popular thunder preachers and heretics whose main theme and
intent is to falsely establish, to all message believers, that the seventh
seal/seven thunders were revealed by W.M.B. in 1963, and they are the
revelations contained in the seven seals which, were unnoticed to them for a
decade or more, hiding in the message, until it was revealed to them in the
seventies or early eighties. There are also other aspects of their thunders
doctrine. Doubtless, they had their influence and input into the biography of
the prophet.
A similarity of heretical doctrines like
“The rapture has started, the thunders are the revelations contained in the
seals, blood of the mercy seat, three folds of seventh seal are shout, voice
and trumpet”, can be identified between him and other thunder preachers such as
C.W. Wood, Ronnie Millevo, Joseph Coleman, Brian Kocourek and even Dr. Ewald
Frank, who believes the seven trumpets are under the seventh seal. A list of
their similar heresies can be found on page 59 of this booklet. So the message
world is up against a team of thunder heretics who are linked together. Some of
their heresies have made their way into the biography of the prophet.
Heresies injected into books 4 and 5 of
the prophet’s biography were done in such a cunning manner, that it went
unnoticed by many message believers. Since that time E.O.D.H. had for several
years awaited the publication of book 6, since book five was published seven
years prior, in 2002:
Quote E.O.D.H. book 13: “Question # 431: “Has E.O.D.H. ever
examined his [Jorgensen’s] teachings
on the 7th seal/7 thunders that is on a website of a brother from
E.O.D.H.
Answer: “Yes,
one of our editors did, just recently, after observing doctrinal errors which
were injected into his work, based on the tent vision and Africa/India vision.
A main propagator of heresies based on the thunders (C. W. Woods), gave credit
to Brother Jorgensen for heresies formulated on the 7th seal/7
thunders. I was awaiting Jorgensen’s final publication, which deals with the
period of the life and ministry of Brother Branham, from 1962 unto his death,
which takes in the opening of the seals, before I comment on such errors. Now
that I have sufficient information from such website and several questions, I
will proceed to correct those heresies.”
Jorgensen
stated on his book 6: “... I finished it on April 4, 2004.” The following year; 2005,
E.O.D.H. published the exposition of Jorgensen’s seventh seal/seven thunders
heresies on E.O.D.H. book 13. Why, up to date: October 2009, has his book 6 not
been published? In addition to one possible reason being that his former
publishers and translators being opposed to the heresies injected, I firmly
believe that the long delay in the publication of book 6 was influenced by the
exposition of Jorgensen’s 7th seal/7 thunders heresies on E.O.D.H.
Book 13. Our exposition of his heresies was not in a radical manner, but I
treated him with love and godly consideration and was longsuffering, hoping
that he would see his error and repent. However, he went on to write his book
6, and has injected heresies based on the seventh seal/7 thunders/tent vision
and third pull, in a very cunning manner. We are yet hoping by this effort,
second admonition and the exposition of these heresies that Brother Jorgensen
would repent. May God grant it is our prayer, for should he humble himself, it
would bring great deliverance to thousands of message believers who are
deceived by false thunders, since they think that the prophet revealed the 7th
seal/7 thunders in 1963.
WHAT THIS
GREAT SECRET IS BENEATH THIS 7TH SEAL –
I DO NOT KNOW
– IT ISN’T OPENED
Quote
W.M.B.: 567 (1) So help me, by God I tell the truth, that these are
spiritually discerned to me (See?), discerned by the Holy Spirit… 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." (The Seventh Seal 4/3/63).
Quote: 577 (2) "… this great secret is
so great that God wouldn't even let John write it. It thundered out, but He...
knowing that... promising us that it would be opened, but to this time, it
isn't opened." (The
Seventh Seal 25/3/63).
Quote: 564 (3) "So just remember, the Seventh Seal, the reason
it was not opened (See?), the reason He did not reveal it, no one
should know about it." (The Seventh Seal 4/3/63).

SUPERNATURAL
– THE LIFE OF BRANHAM - BY
OWEN JORGENSEN: - HERESIES INJECTED
CHAPTER ONE
Like a
slow-poison, Brother Jorgensen injected his diabolical heresies into
the biography of Malachi 4: 5-6 – W. M. Branham. Cunningly, cautiously and
sparingly he hinted, indicated and verbally stated enough that can influence
the mind of the reader to accept and believe his heresy to be the teachings of
the prophet.
Some
ministers, believers, translators and publishers were message-wise enough to
identify his subtlety and resist him. He was requested to remove his doctrine
from the manuscript but he refused. This proves how deceived and determined
that Jorgensen is to use the prophet’s biography
for deception and propagation of his heresies. His great work emotionally
moved and stirred up the minds of message believers by the thrilling facts and
experiences of the prophet’s life and teachings, not overlooking Jorgensen’s
unique way of telling such things.
By
his first three books within three years, he captivated the confidence of
message believers, and they being overjoyed and full of confidence in this
mighty biographer, he injected his deadly poison based upon the seven thunder
heresy in his fourth and fifth books. He intends to bring it home in book six.
The Lord provided a copy for E.O.D.H.
before it reaches the public. This is God’s grace to message believers,
that they be warned of Jorgensen’s heresies. He was used of Satan to bewitch
thousands around the world by this cunning strategy employed in books 4 and 5.
He came to them in the name of W. M. Branham, his life story, his teachings and
his ministry.
He
stated openly that from reading the prophet’s message, he had once concluded
that the seventh seal/seven thunders was not revealed to W.M.B. This view he
held for many years. If he did not reject the first school of thought on the
seven thunders and said what the prophet said: “It was not revealed”, what great establishment of the truth that
would have been. We would have hailed him more than a biographer. He mixed his
calling and went off on a limb trying to interpret
the Word without a divine call of God. These heresies prove that he was not
called of God to handle the Word, even like Uzzah who touched the Ark of the
Covenant and died.
Jorgensen has committed even a greater
crime. He cemented thunders heretics to their heresies around the world, and
intends, by his book 6 heresies, to seal their doom. This in turn will
successfully bewitch hundreds of thousands of message believers to be anchored
in the false hope of being raptured by a false conception of the thunders. We
appreciate the biography of W.M.B. but detest the heresies of Jorgensen, and
even moreso, the cunningness he employed for the injection of such heresies.
Jorgensen’s supporters of this his
hideous crime are many, since the majority erroneously proclaim that the seven
thunders are revealed. This means that all his thunder heretic associates have
an input into the prophet’s biography. Message believers are up against a great
satanic force. E.O.D.H. fully supports ministers, believers, translators and
publishers who stand against the insertion of this heresy into the biography of
the prophet. They have done no wrong but are worthy of the highest commendation
for their noble and uncompromising stands.
REMOVE
HERESIES FROM BIOGRAPHY
We: the
ministers, believers, translators and publishers, do sincerely and solemnly,
with godly love for the message and the prophet, call upon Brother Jorgensen to repent of all his heresies, and to
remove them from the biography of the prophet before he delivers book six to
the public. Failing to do so, E.O.D.H. will be left without any other option
than to declare him “a seven thunder heretic.” May the Lord convict you and
grant you repentance Brother Jorgensen. Listen to the godly advice of your
associate ministers, translators and publishers, though you might be offended
by E.O.D.H.’s exposition, even as many who hate the truth.
It is evident that Jorgensen’s mind was
already polluted with many seeds from various thunder cults, before he
undertook the noble task of writing the biography of the prophet-W. M. Branham.
Thus he could not stay with his biography. He wrote a book in 1982, entitled:
“The 7th Seal – An Exposition On The Message Of The Hour”, which
lists many of his heresies. This clearly demonstrates one of his intended purposes in writing the
biography of the prophet, which he started about five years after. This also
explains why he injected several foundation heresies into the prophet’s
biography. He has an established doctrine, all clearly expressed in his seventh
seal book. His beliefs are heretical. They are satanic to say that the blood is
off the mercy seat and there is no more blood covering sinners, but only the
Bride. Then what is the use of the biography to sinners?
The
authors of E.O.D.H. perceived that Jorgensen would climax his work with
heresies in book six. Several of his heresies were exposed on E.O.D.H. book 13.
I am sure that he has knowledge of such exposition, since his 7th
seal book was removed from a South African website after E.O.D.H. sent his
exposition to them. Book six publication was delayed for years. He was afraid
of further exposition. Therefore he carefully injected his seven thunder
heresies into book six. I guess he hoped
to escape the dragnet of E.O.D.H. There is only one way of escape that
exists for any heretic: “Repentance and conforming to the Word.”
Jorgensen
started to inject his heresies in book four, continued on book five and
climaxed on book 6. We would examine and expose each heresy injected into the
prophet’s biography. All such are from his fountain of heresies that were well
established for about nineteen years before the writing of his book 4. No
wonder why he cannot keep the prophet’s biography pure. In quoting the prophet,
he failed to use the prophet’s direct quotations and paraphrased them so he
could splice in his interpretations. We message believers are used to the
direct quotations of the prophet, and will employ the same to counteract
heresies that are injected into the biography. Also, his heresies which were
exposed from his seventh seal book of 1982, will be included in this work. This
is a list of Jorgensen’s heresies:

HERESIES
INJECTED into SUPERNATURAL book 5
Heretical
Article No. 803: “The tent vision is symbolic. It represented the
three pulls of the prophet’s ministry. This was fulfilled when the Shekinah
Glory descended in the prophet’s study room and revealed the seals/third pull
to him.”
Quote
Owen Jorgensen: “...The three parts of the tabernacle represented
many things...The huge tent at the end of the vision also had three parts... He
wondered how much of it was symbolic...” (Supernatural Book 5 pages 101-102).
Quote
Owen Jorgensen: “Likewise, it alludes to the three pulls of Brother
Branham’s ministry. In the vision, the pillar of fire enters that little square
room and the angel said, “I’ll meet you in there.” This was fulfilled exactly,
for in March of 1963, when the seven seals were revealed to Brother Branham, he
said he spent all his time in a little room, and that each day the pillar of
fire appeared to him in that room and opened another seal.” (The Seventh Seal –
An Exposition On The Message Of The Hour).
E.O.D.H. Answer: Jorgensen typed the
tent room to the tabernacle of witness where God met with man. It is obvious,
especially from the last quotation of Jorgensen, from his seventh seal book,
what he had in his mind when writing this biography. It shows the cunningness
and deceptiveness of this biography, and expresses his true motives and
objectives and confirm what I have stated in the introduction and beginning of
this chapter. Let all message believers be warned and beware of such diabolical
move of Satan by a message believer who won the confidence of message believers
worldwide by his former three books, all with the intention of sowing his seeds
of discrepancies and heresies in the latter, with the intention of once and for
all cementing message believers to their heresies of seventh seal/seven
thunders/third pull/tent vision etc.
Jorgensen
is using heretical words to lay a foundation for his damnable heresy on the
tent vision of the prophet. He is using the word “Symbolic” and telling a lie that the prophet indicated that he did
not know how much of the tent vision was symbolic or literal. I challenge this
lie and this satanic interpretation and boldly state that the prophet never
guessed, at any time, if any part of his vision was symbolic or literal. He
treated it only as literal.
Jorgensen,
by explaining away the vision as symbolic, is also explaining away the third pull as symbolic, because they go
hand in hand. Hence he broke down the third pull to mean only the revealed Word
which was fulfilled at the revealing of the seals. This is a hideous lie. It is
true that the revealed Word is the third pull. There is no doubt concerning the
prophet’s teaching on that fact, but he did not isolate it to that meaning. It
is both the revealed Word and the manifestation of the Word. This is evident by
the third pull demonstrations of the prophet: Creation of squirrels, restoring
life to a dead fish, calming the storm, healing of Sister Branham and salvation
to Hattie Wright’s teenage sons. Thus, the prophet said:
THIRD
PULL – WHEN THE SQUEEZE COMES - FULLNESS OF ITS POWER
Quote
W.M.B.: 6-1 So now, I am going to say something to you
now, that I haven't said all along. And that is, the thing that we have looked
forward to for so long, or at least 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 never be any impersonation of that, 'cause it can't be. It
cannot be. Now, it's in existence, and I... am warned of this, that soon, right
at this time now, it's just happened, so it could identify its presence among
you. See? But it will not be used in a great way, until this council begins to
tighten up. And when it does, when that does... The Pentecostals and so forth
can almost impersonate anything could be done, but when that time comes, when
the squeeze comes down, then you'll see what you have seen temporarily, be
manifested in the fullness of its power. (Look Away To Jesus
63-1229E).
Quote: 100 ...Now, notice,
but at the opening of the Seven Seals, Revelations 10, the full Word is to be
borned into manifestation again and vindicated
by the Spirit of God in the full strength, as It was when It was here on
earth, manifested in the same way, doing the same things that It did when It
was here on earth. Amen. Hebrews 13:8 said Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
today, and forever. (Seed Not Heir With Shuck 65-0218).
In
none of the statements of the prophet did he ever indicate or verbally state
that the tent vision may be symbolic. The prophet of God declared that the tent
is a literal tent and firmly stated, after the opening of the seals, that the
vision was not yet fulfilled, and continued to expect a literal fulfilment.
There was only one thing that he was not certain about, and that is whether it
would be a tent or a cathedral. He
looked for a literal fulfilment of his vision and made attempts to get a
literal tent, even up to the time of his departure:
TENT
– THAT HASN’T HAPPENED YET - 1964
Quote
W.M.B.: 138 ...I have never had
but one thing that He ever told me in my life that I know that hasn't happened yet,
that some sort of a building or a tent
where there'd be a little building setting, and I'd have to go into that and
pray for the sick. That hasn't happened yet as far as I know. That's the only
thing that I know. (His Unfailing Words Of Promise 64-0120).
Quote:
"And somehow or
another Lord it maybe that you are
driving us to that tent to make that vision fulfill. So thy will be done" (Ashamed of
Him - 1965 page 18)
Quote:
"I am here to get
the trustees together. I am kind of getting put out off all turning me down of
places to hold a meeting. When I'm feeling led to do it so I think I am going to ask them if we can,
if we just can't get out tent and put it up, and just stay there. And you know
get our there in the ball park, out on the park and move it from place to place
just as the Lord will lead. And I feel that, that's what he's going to do. You
know there's a vision concerning that"
(Trying
to do God a Service - 1965)
Quote: "I now, I want to find out through the elders, I feel led, I've
never had such a hunger in my heart for God in all my life, what I have now. I
want to get my own tent and my... like the Lord gave me a vision too. And I
believe the time is just now at hand. And I want to see while I am here. Why?
We can't get the tent" (Ashamed
of Him - 1965).
We believe the prophet and firmly deny
this heresy. For a full exposition of this heresy see Heretical Article No. 505
& 506 on page 505 and 506 of this booklet.
Though
on book 6 Jorgensen inserted the statement below, it is obvious from the heresy
that follows, what is his express teaching on this subject, which he published
on his seventh seal book:
Quote Owen Jorgensen: “...He asked the board of directors at the Tabernacle to look for a large tent they could buy...
he still thought there might be a literal interpretation to his December 1955 vision of a tent
(or cathedral) and that little room on the platform where miracles occurred.”
(Supernatural Book 5, page 136).
Heretical Article No. 804: “W.M.B. lost
his vision like John when he looked for a literal tent.”
Quote
Owen Jorgensen: “I am aware that in one place after the seals
were opened, Brother Branham mentions he is still looking for a physical tent.
Remember what the voice said on the
E.O.D.H. Answer:
Quote
W.M.B.: 498-4 {255} ... Now, look at John the prophet; he
said, "Go ask Him, is actually He the One?" So humble till that
prophet missed it... Said, "Is He the One, or do we seek for
another?"
...John
was in prison, so he'd been all so scrupled up till I believe as Pember said,
"His eagle eye got filmed over down there. (Question & Answers
63-0324M).
Jorgensen
is using this quotation of the prophet in order to explain away the many
quotations which say that the tent is literal and was not fulfilled at the seals.
In doing so he assumes that he has the correct interpretation of the vision and
the prophet did not, and was scrupled up and confused like John. Only a prophet
is qualified and gifted to interpret visions. From whence came this foolish
biographer with such a devil’s interpretation which places the prophet in such
a category. He is proud, disrespectful and out of place and needs to shut up!
Jorgensen
believes like his student: C. W. WOOD, that the tent was only a spiritual
representation of the third pull which he claimed was fulfilled in the
prophet’s study room at the seals.
To say that the tent is already past is capital NONSENSE. Capital
NONSENSE! Jorgensen, the man who came to the tent on a wheelchair, is he
past too? The woman that was on a stretcher and came out healed, is she past
too? The big line that went down to a city block away, are they past too? You
are talking a bag of nonsense. Unbelief cannot stop the promises of God.
Look how dumb that is. This big tent that Brother Branham had seen in his
vision was supposed to seat 50,000 to 100,000 people, and there was a little
room in it (12x20). Jorgensen 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, that house was pretty big brother. It was pretty big to hold
between 50,000 to 100,000 people. And if that is the room Brother Branham spoke
about, was it 12x20, where was the great crowd going down city blocks from his
house? Maybe to the tabernacle of Brother Branham with sick people waiting for
their healing while he was in the little room? What about the woman on the
stretcher and the man in the wheelchair? Was there any healing taking place
while Brother Branham was in the little room? Absolutely not! Brother Branham
said, “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.”
HERESIES
INJECTED into book 6
Heretical
Article No. 805: “All third pull visions had
their fulfilments at the seals. Therefore the third pull/seventh seal/seven
thunders were revealed by W.M.B. in 1963, because his third pull was the
opening of the seals.”
Quote
Jorgensen: “The seventh seal is
the “3rd pull” of Brother Branham’s ministry. Between pages 561 and 564
of the “the seventh seal”, Brother Branham draws a connection between the
‘King’s Sword’, the ‘Third Pull’, the ‘Tent Vision’ and ‘Revelation 10’,
indicating that each of these pertain to the seventh seal. God said to Brother
Branham specifically that the ‘King’s Sword’ is “The Word”. It’s been placed in
your hand.”
...follow in “The Seventh Seal” as
Brother Branham zeros in on the Seventh Seal itself as the prime constituent of
the 3rd Pull. On the top of page 559, he sums up all he had previously said
about the Seventh Seal by stating flatly, “It is the third pull.” (The seventh
seal – An exposition on the message of the hour).”
E.O.D.H. Answer: On book six
Jorgensen makes a comparison between the third pull/seventh seal, the third
pull vision of fishing for the rainbow trout, tent vision, seven angels
representing the third pull and the sword of the king. This he did with the
intention of cunningly injecting the above heresy into the prophet’s biography.
It is obvious that Jorgensen is injecting
his seventh seal/ seven thunders heresy into the biography of the prophet
and trying to inject heresies into the minds of the readers without saying it
right out, because of fear of further exposition. He is going upon
his statement that God fulfils His Word by bringing it to pass, and leaving it
for the readers to catch his heresy that he is cunningly projecting. E.O.D.H.
has caught on and states positively that this is an error and a damnable
heresy. There is nothing to be inferred or deducted from the related visions of
the prophet other than what he expressively taught that the seventh seal/seven
thunders was not opened, it was not revealed to him and he could not make it
out. To infer anything other than that is to formulate a heresy, add to the
message and make yourself a deceiver of sincere message followers. No man,
woman, boy or girl is bright enough to change the express conclusion of the
prophet on this subject of the seventh seal/seven thunders. To do so, after
confessing for years that it was not
revealed, is to make yourself a false anointed one, a seed sower dressed in
black, sowing seeds of discrepancy on the same grounds as the sower dressed in
white sowed through the ministry of the prophet. Repent or perish!
He
wrote about the same heresy on his 7th seal book in no uncertain
terms stating:
Quote Owen Jorgensen: “The seventh seal is open.
Let that fact be fully established in our minds and souls.” (The
Seventh Seal – An Exposition On The Message Of The Hour).
Why
is he feeling his way through in writing the prophet’s biography? He
is setting a snare like for a bird, by cunningly placing isolated subjects
together. It is dishonest, deceiving and with the intent to hide the truth that
the seventh seal was not revealed. I am sure that Jorgensen is fully conscious
of the multiple statements of the prophet to support this undeniable fact,
since he once believed like the prophet that it was not revealed. Even the
statements which he carefully selected to support his heresy testify against
it.
Jorgensen
failed to state that W. M. Branham altered the seventh seal tape in a motel
room on the following day, removed a portion of the tape, did another recording
as a substitute and repeated that the seventh seal was not revealed to him.
Quote:
“The next day, Monday,
March 25th, 1963, Brother Branham went to the motel room of Brother
Fred Sothman and Brother James McGuire who were at the time in charge of making
tapes. Brother Branham told these brothers, “I don’t want this message sent out the way it is.” After listening
to the tape himself, he instructed the brothers to stop the tape at a certain
point, and at that point—(beginning of paragraph number 261)—recorded a new portion
of approximately twenty minutes in length-(paragraph 377-414)). This new
portion was then used in place of the original ending—(paragraph 261-373). (The seventh
seal 63-0324).
A
full exposition of this heresy can be found on Heretical Article No. 491-492,
494-496: on pages 39 to 47 of this booklet.
Heretical Article No. 806: “W.M.B.
revealed the seventh seal but it was not
completely unfolded.”
Quote Owen
Jorgensen: “Bill explained to his audience, “There are three things that go with this third pull. One of
them unfolded yesterday. The second one unfolded today. The third one I heard in an unknown language, so I couldn’t interpret it.
...He explained that the seventh seal is a threefold mystery. The seven thunders in heaven
will
unfold this mystery right at the coming of Christ.
...Bill added, “...The rest of the seals have unfolded, but this one did not completely unfold.”
(Supernatural Book 6).
The prophet of God never used the word “completely.” Jorgensen added that to be
deceptive. The prophet said, the coming of the Lord is connected to the seventh
seal, the seventh seal is a hidden mystery, it unfolded to the seven thunders,
but the seven thunders which holds the revelation of the seventh seal is not
unfolded:
Quote
W.M.B.: 576-3 {394} Now, there
was some reason that God let this seven voices be thundered, because it must
come (See?), for the... We find that Christ, the Lamb took the Book in His
hand, and He opened that Seventh Seal. But you see, it's a hidden mystery. No
one knows it. But it's right along with what He said: no one would know His
coming; they also would not know about this seven thunder mystery. So you see,
it's connected together.
That
much we have a understanding of it today, because the rest of it is all
unfolded, but this is not unfolded.
But setting in my room, and I... seen it unfold to this seven thunders.
The prophet clearly stated that the mystery of
the seventh seal was held in the seven
thunders, which was not revealed, as it was in an unknown language, also
that the hour is not quite ready for it. He said that he don’t know the
revelation of it, it will be revealed in a future day and hour, to this time it
isn’t opened, and confirmed up to July 1964 that it was not opened. Here are
the vital quotes Jorgensen left out
that expose his heresy:
WE
DON’T KNOW IT – IT WON’T BE KNOWED TILL THAT TIME
Quote
W.M.B.: 575-6 {392} ... Christ
said only God Himself knowed, not even the Angels. No wonder, it wasn't even
written. You see, they hushed; nothing take place then. Angels don't know it;
nobody knows when He's coming. But there'll be a... There'll be seven voices of
these thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time.
So
I believe, to us who... If we don't know it, and we--it won't be knowed till
that time, but it will be revealed in that day, in the hour that it's supposed
to be revealed in. (Seventh Seal 63-0324E).
SEVENTH
SEAL – IT ISN’T OPENED
Quote: 577-1
{400} 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" out of it. The only thing you do, you just continue
serving God, because this great secret is so great that God wouldn't even let
John write it. It thundered out, but He... knowing that... promising us that it
would be opened, but to this time, it isn't opened. (Seventh Seal
63-0324E).
THAT
SEVENTH SEAL HASN’T OPENED YET - 1964
Quote: 26-4 That Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you
know; that's His coming. (Feast Of The Trumpets 64-0719m).
THE
SEVENTH SEAL - IT WAS NOT OPENED – DID NOT REVEAL IT
Quote: 564-2 {301}
Now, I--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 reason it was
not opened (See?), the reason It did not reveal it, no one should know about
it. (Seventh Seal 63-0324E).
Revelation 22:18 <For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy
of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him
the plagues that are written in this book.>
The
scripture warns us not to add or take away from the prophecy of Christ.
Jorgensen has done both: taken away from it and added his heresy. You are
standing on dangerous grounds Brother Jorgensen. Repent! How much more wilfully
blind can these thunder heretics become?
Heretical
Article No. 807: “The 7 thunders was stored up by W.M.B in his
message, to be distributed in the proper season.”
Quote Owen Jorgensen: “Chapter 90 - Sermons Like Thunder - Summer 1963
True to his word, William Branham delivered his major sermon’s in Jeffersonville, where his congregation loved him enough to sit through two, three, and sometimes even four hours of
preaching for one service. Bill would not have preached such lengthy sermons if he wasn’t tape
recording these messages for posterity. He felt compelled to store up spiritual food, believing that God would distribute it in the proper season, according to His master plan.”
(Supernatural Book 6 page 95).
E.O.D.H. Answer: This heresy is similar to another of Jorgensen’s
which states that the seven thunders is laying in the prophet’s message waiting
to be quickened to the Bride. (See Heretical Article No. 500, page 50).
This is the same damnable heresy of
Pastor Coleman, father of the false thunders. The program of Pastor Coleman from
Coleman’s established program of the seventh seal/seven thunders is that the
prophet mysteriously preached the thunders and hid the revelation in the
message. In later years the Bride was caught up in the spiritual dimension of
the thunders, together with him, and caught that revelation. Jorgensen states
that it is laying in the message waiting to be quickened to the Bride.
The
Death Seed
and the Seed of Heresy that Pastor Coleman put into the Message, is that the
seventh seal/seven thunders was mysteriously revealed to Brother Branham; and
he preached it mysteriously, and it is hidden in the message. He claimed that
he was caught up in the heights of the spiritual atmosphere and got the
revelation of the Seven Thunders, approximately ten years after the opening of
the seals. Now, Jorgensen is saying the
same thing, that it was quickened to the Bride many years after the death of
the prophet. He may have denounced Coleman’s doctrine that the thunders are the
virtues, but that seed of Colemanism that “the thunders was preached and is
laying in the message” is yet in him.
Brother Branham never preached the
thunders on any of his messages up to the time of his departure. If he did, I
am challenging Jorgensen to show me
the message, date and time, and to show me the thunders in there. You cannot!
Jorgensen’s
indications are that sermons after the seals in 1963 were storing up the food
of the seven thunders. The food stored up was pertinent to the written mystery,
and not isolated to the seven seals messages. This dream was given way before
the opening of the seals, and the prophet began storing up spiritual food way
before the seals. The seventh seal/seven thunders revelation was not stored up
since it was not revealed. Such revelations were stored up for the Bride to identify the seven thunders when it is
broken to the public. The stored Word is also to identify impersonators of the seven thunders before God sends it to
the public.
Brother Branham could not have stored up the seven thunders
mystery since it was not revealed to him. Even unto the time of his departure
in 1965, he was yet hoping to preach it but did not.
STORE UP FOOD -
1962
Quote W.M.B.: 5-5 So I went back, and the little place where
we'd been out at (a little place called Klondike, about forty miles from any
civilization, one little store for the ranchers and things) looked like it was
at
Quote: 765-102 I'm leaving for these meetings, just
plunging out yonder; I don't aim to teach these great things I teach you people.
You remember what that dream that I got the interpretation was. "Go back
and store up food." Where was the storehouse? This tabernacle. (Taking Sides
With Jesus 62-0601).
TEACHING
THE THUNDERS – COULDN’T GET THE ROOM
Quote W.M.B.:
16 Now, in doing this, I have come here for the
purpose of teaching the last vials, last seven vials, and the last seven
trumpets, and the last seven thunders of the Book of Revelations, tying them
together in this hour that we're now living to follow the opening of the Seven
Seals, the Seven Church Ages. So we couldn't get room to do it (God Of This
Evil Age 65-0801M).
Heretical
Article No. 808: “The 7 thunders are several messages preached
after the seals.”
Quote Owen
Jorgensen: “On July 28, 1963, he delivered his personal masterpiece. Like one of the seven thunders
uttering its voice, he preached, “Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed.”
(Supernatural Book 6 page 98).
E.O.D.H.
Answer: Jorgensen
is indicating that the thunders was revealed, and this message; “Christ Is The
Mystery” was a thunder. Nonsense! The very message: “Christ Is The Mystery”,
stated that it was not revealed:
SEVEN
THUNDERS – THAT’S ONE THING HE HASN’T REVEALED YET
Quote W.M.B.: 17-1 God's great mystery of how... It's a secret.
He kept it a secret. Nobody knowed nothing about it; even the Angels didn't
understand it. See? He didn't reveal it.
That's the reason under our seventh mystery, when the seventh seal was opened, there
was silence.
Jesus,
when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said,
"It's not... Even the Son Himself don't know when it's going to
happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's a secret. And that's the
reason there was silence in heaven for a space of a half hour. And Seven
Thunders uttered their voices, and
John
was even forbidden to write it (See?)--the coming of the Lord.
That's one
thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He
will come, and when He will come. It's a good thing that He doesn't. No. He
has showed or revealed it in every type that's in the Bible. (Christ Is
the Mystery 63-0728).
I
am sure with all the research that this biographer has done, in his seventeen
years of writing the prophet’s biography, this quotation is very familiar to
him and one that he himself used in time past to say what the prophet said and
what we are contending for that the seventh seal was not revealed to W. M. B.
Adding to this, I just quoted the prophet on God of this evil age, where he said
that he did not get the room to teach on the thunders. This proves that no
sermon preached after the seals was the thunders. So this is Jorgensen’s
imagination.
Quote Jorgensen: “During the remainder of that summer, five more outstanding sermons thundered
from his pulpit in Branham Tabernacle: “The Uniting Time and Sign,” “How Can I Overcome?” “Perfect
Faith,” “The Token,” and “Desperation!” (Supernatural Book 6 page 101).
E.O.D.H. Answer: Brother Jorgensen
is saying that these are the thunders that make up the seven thunders? Why did
they not do what is prophesied of the seven thunders? The prophet laid down in
his message, eighth identifications of the thunders ministry, that the Bride
may be able to identify it when it is broken to the public:

come. He said, "It's not... Even the Son Himself don't know when it's
going to happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's a secret. And
that's the reason there was silence in heaven for a space of a half hour. And
Seven Thunders uttered their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it
(See?)--the coming of the Lord. That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come.
It's a good thing that He doesn't. No. He has showed or revealed it in every
type that's in the Bible. (Christ Is The Mystery 63-0728).

right) just waiting for the Seventh

Quote: 33-3
Remember, He hid the 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.

pull. (Question And Answers On The Seals 24/3/63).
Quote: 262 Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed.
There's no more higher order to reveal the Word than prophets. But the only way
the prophet can be a-vindicated is by the Word. And remember the Third Pull was
the opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed
in the Word. (Anointed Ones At The Endtime 65-0725M).
Quote: 284-5 {42}

it will not be used in a great way, until this council begins to tighten up.”
“When the squeeze comes down, then
you'll see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in the fullness of its Power…Then when that time comes, and the press comes to
a place to where you're pressed out, then watch… watch the third pull then.
(Look Away to Jesus,

Quote: 138 “Now, that great gift... Others I tried to
explain and say how it was done. This can't be explained. Just wait. It will
not be in operation so perfectly now. Wait till that council of churches brings on that persecution; that's when it'll

THREE:

the seven thunders…Is this the mystery
of the thunders that will bring back the Headstone? (Sirs Is This The Time?
62-1230).
Quote: 116 The
Dynamics of this church will be a refilling of the Holy Spirit, that we
have worked in a small measure while the
Headstone is coming down to unite with the Body. But when that Head and
Body unites together the full power
of the Holy Ghost would raise Her up (What Shall I Do With Jesus 63-1124M).
Quote:
253-2 {182} The Bride hasn't had a revival yet.
There's been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet.
We're looking for it. It will take
those seven unknown thunders back there to wake her up again. (The Third Seal 63-0320).

Revelations 10, the full Word is to be
borned into manifestation again and vindicated by the Spirit of God in
the full strength, as It was when It was here on earth, manifested in

happened." She said, "I've been paralyzed for twenty years, and

Heretical Article No. 809: “The seventh seal/seven thunders was revealed
because there was a blast of thunder when the seven angels appeared.”
Quote Owen Jorgensen: “Just one burst of thunder preceded the seven angels. That is comparable to Revelation 6:1. When the Lamb opened the first seal, only one thunder preceded the opening of all 7 seals. But in Revelation 10, John heard seven thunders booming one right after the other, like they were spelling out something. Certainly, it is the voice of God speaking to His elect. But what is He saying?”
(Supernatural Book 6 page 83).
E.O.D.H. Answer: Jorgensen is
indicating that the seventh seal was revealed since one thunder sounded. There
are no quotations for this. The seven
thunders are different from the first thunder on the first seal. The prophet said that they sounded consecutively,
seven in a row:
SEVEN
CONSECUTIVE THUNDERS IN A ROW
Quote
W.M.B.: 557-3 {245} ...that's
what the mystery is laying behind those seven
consecutive thunders rolling out.

Now, notice, when the seven angels come forth to sound their trumpets, there
was one thunder. When

to W. M. B. by a voice of a thunder when the King’s sword fell into his hand.”

Owen Jorgensen: “When that pearl-handled sword appeared in his hand, and that voice thundered, “It is the sword of the King,” (Supernatural Book 6 page 83).
E.O.D.H. Answer: When the prophet had this
experience, God’s voice did not thunder (
Quote W.M.B.: 68-6 {11} And while holding it in my hand, a voice from
somewhere said, "That is the King's sword." And then it left me. (The
Breach 63-0317E).
Jorgensen
is trying to identify the thunders in the message. God spoke to Jesus by
thunder and also a voice that did not thunder. Coleman says every voice is a
thunder. That is wrong.
When
the Lord came to Elijah the prophet in scriptures, he was not in the whirlwind,
earthquake or fire, but in a still small voice:
I Kings 19:11-12 <And he said, Go forth,
and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and
a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks
before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an
earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
And
after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the
fire a still small voice.>
Quote
W.M.B.:
E-34 ...When Elijah was back in the cave, there went a thunder by, God; He just
let it pass by. A wind went by; they had rushing mighty winds and everything
else pass by, but God wasn't in it. But when a still, small voice spoke, the
prophet veiled his face and walked out; He spoke. (Queen Of
ADDITIONAL
HERESIES from – “THE SEVENTH SEAL – AN EXPOSITION ON THE MESSAGE OF THE HOUR”
BY
OWEN JORGENSEN
The following
heresies were not those that were injected into the biography of the prophet.
Rather, they are additional seventh seal/seven thunders related heresies of
Owen Jorgensen, that were published on his seventh seal book, which were not
previously exposed by E.O.D.H.:
Heretical Article No. 811: “W.M.B.’s third pull was when he
revealed the thunders at the seals in 1963. It was revealed to him but he did
not say much because of the angel’s warning. It is written in the message and
would come to the Bride by revelation.”
Quote
Owen Jorgensen: “But in the vision... The Angel’s admonition was
very clear: “don’t make the same mistake on the third pull, which is coming up.
Don’t say anything about it.”
When you understand this
point, you can understand why Brother Branham was not more direct when he
preached “The Seventh Seal.” ... You see, he was specifically forbidden by the
Angel of the Lord to explain the third pull (The Seventh Seal). Since he had
failed to keep still on the 1st and 2nd Pull, he was not about to fail God on
this all-important 3rd Pull. For this was going to catch the Bride, and there must
not be any impersonations.
But how will the bride see this seventh seal if her prophet-messenger
does not directly spell it out? A frank question; and one with a simple answer:
by revelation. Not a revelation of something beyond what Brother Branham said,
but a revelation of what is already lying there before our eyes.” (The Seventh
Seal – An Exposition On The Message Of The Hour).
E.O.D.H. Answer: The Lord revealed
certain facts about the seventh seal
to the prophet. The second fold he took with him to his grave. It is true that
he was very precautious and did not say certain things so that the enemy would
not go out and formulate an impersonation, but that does not say that he had
the revelation of the seventh seal and was not saying much about it at the
angels command. This is a heresy and is of the devil! The prophet himself said
that God did not reveal the seventh seal/seven thunders to him. Who should we
believe? The prophet or a dumb biographer who seeks to pervert his message?
Heretical Article No. 812: “The seven
trumpets and seven vials are contained in the seventh seal.”
Quote Owen Jorgensen: “Like a cut and polished diamond, the seventh seal sparkles with the light reflected from
its
many facets. Some facets end the groaning and struggling of this natural world. The seven trumpets and the seven vials are contained in this seventh seal. Other facets usher in the millennium and host the wedding supper. Still
other facets extend all the way to the end of the world, the battle of Armageddon, and the ending of time, as we know it. Revelation 10: 6-7 said that time will run out at
the
end of the seventh seal.”
E.O.D.H.
Answer: This
is a good example of what I previously stated, that Jorgensen failed to use the
prophet’s direct quotations and paraphrased them so he could splice in his
interpretations. We will quote the
prophet’s very words to prove this fact and show what a damnable heresy
Jorgensen has formulated by adding to the message what the prophet never said.
All that the prophet said is that the seventh seal is the end of all things,
and the church ages, trumpets, vials etc. ends on the seventh seal. He never
said they were facets or part of it:
Quote W.M.B.: 555-6 {229} ...this Seventh Seal is the end of time of
all things... it is the end of the struggling world. It's the end of struggling
nature. It's the end of everything.
...Notice,
it's the end of the church age. It's the end of the Seven Seals. It's the end
of the trumpets. It's the end of the vials, and even ends the ushering in of
the millennium; that's on the Seventh Seal.
It's just
like firing a rocket into the air, and that rocket explodes here, and it goes
up, then it explodes again. It puts out five stars. One of those stars explodes
and blows out five stars from it; and then one of them stars explodes, blows
out five stars from it (See?); it fades on out. That's what the Seventh Seal;
it just ends the time for the world. It ends the time for this. It means the
time for that. It ends the time for this. It ends the time... Everything just
ended up on that Seventh Seal. (The Seventh Seal 63-0324E).
Jorgensen, you are coming
in the name of the prophet and his message, trying to deceive sincere
message believers. Woe be unto you! Repent or perish! The seven trumpets are
not contained in the seventh seal. The prophet never taught any such thing nor
was he identified with any such teaching. This is a heresy. This is not the
prophet’s teaching. This is Dr. Ewald
Frank of
The prophet had plans to teach on the seven trumpets and every thing
seemed to have been cut off from him preaching on that subject. He sought the
Lord and the Holy Spirit revealed to him as follows:
· The trumpets
do not apply to this church and age.
· It is to
· Every trumpet
sounded under the sixth seal.
· The trumpets
are the gathering of
· The trumpet
messengers are prophets.
· The Bride
must step out of the way and go up for the two prophets to sound the 7th
trumpet.
· The trumpets
are to sound in Daniel’s seventieth week.
We
are not in the seventieth week of Daniel. Do you know more than the
prophet? To further confirm that, he said they are under the sixth seal, (not
seventh), and the sixth seal is the tribulation period which also occurs in
Daniel’s seventieth week. That ministry belongs to two prophets: Moses and
Elias and the Jews. Where are Moses and Elias? Has the ministry started for the
Jews? Has the seventieth week started? He said they have nothing to do with the
church. You are saying they are under the seventh seal/seven thunders which have
to do with the church.
Are you wiser and more noble in the
scriptures than Malachi 4: 5-6, the prophet messenger for the age?! Or did you
let your intellect get the best of you?
You, doubtlessly, think that you are smarter than the prophet, because you shamelessly,
disrespectfully, hypocritically contradict his words and teachings. Away with
you and your heresy injected into the biography of the prophet! We love the
prophet’s biography but we hate your filthy heresy. Get it out of there and
stop confusing poor people and message believers.

Heretical
Article No. 813: “The rapture has started since the headstone
capped the pyramid in 1963.”
Quote
Owen Jorgensen: “What happened at that time, the coming of that stone? Up
went the Church into glory at the Rapture, (“The Seventy Weeks of Daniel” p.
30). This statement would have been hard to understand, except that God has
revealed... Revelation 8 (rapture is a span
of time, about one-half hour silence in heaven, and a shout on earth the
same).
In his sermon “Rapture”, Brother
Branham lets us know that the Rapture, contrary to denominational
dogma, is a span of time which begins with a shout – that is, his Message.
(The
seventh seal – An exposition on the message of the hour).”
E.O.D.H.
Answer: Jorgensen
falsely established that the headstone came in 1963 and capped the pyramid. He
went on to quote the prophet where he said that at the time of the coming of
the headstone the church went in the rapture. Not having the answer to this
statement, which he said is hard to be understood, he, along with others, like
Brian Kocourek and others, formulated a heresy that the rapture has started.
This is dumb, foolish, nonsensical and unspiritual of Mr. Jorgensen. The
correct conclusion is not that the rapture has started, but that the headstone
did not come in 1963, at the opening of the seals. I challenge Mr. Jorgensen to
prove otherwise. True to the teachings of the prophet, if the headstone had
come in 1963, the rapture would have gone many decades ago.
The rapture
has not yet started. It does not take place over a period of time. The rapture
is a catching away which takes place as the
aftermath of the coming of the Lord.
The rapture
never started up to the time of the death of the prophet. He said in 1965 that
the Bride will be waiting on the revelation of the rapture, and that revelation
was locked up in the seventh seal/seven thunders, which is to produce rapturing
faith, which he firmly established that it was not revealed to him.
RAPTURE
IS A REVELATION – BRIDE WAITING
Quote
W.M.B.:
65 But to the church, the Bride, the
rapture is a revelation to her. It's revealed to her, that the revelation, the
true Bride of Christ will be waiting for that revelation of the rapture. (The
Rapture 65-1204).
SEVEN THUNDERS – RAPTURING FAITH
Quote: 128-2 {75} And then
there's coming forth seven mysterious thunders that's not even written at all.
That's right. And I believe that through those seven thunders will be revealed
in the last days in order to get the Bride together for rapturing faith;
because what we got right now, we wouldn't be able to do it. There's something
we've got to step farther; we can't have enough faith for Divine healing
hardly. We've got to have enough faith
to be changed in a moment and be swept up out of this earth. (The First
Seal 63-0318).
SEVENTH SEAL HASN’T OPENED YET - 1964
Quote: 26-4 ... That Seventh Seal hasn't opened yet, you
know; that's His coming. (Feast Of The
Trumpets 64-0719m).
SEVEN THUNDERS/COMING OF LORD – HE HASN’T REVEALED
YET
Quote: 17-3 Jesus, when He was
on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said, "It's not...
Even the Son Himself don't know when it's going to happen." See, God has
this all to Himself. It's a secret.
And that's the reason
there was silence in heaven for a space of a half hour. And Seven Thunders
uttered their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it (See?)--the
coming of the Lord.
That's one thing He
hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come. (Christ Is The Mystery 63-0728).
Jorgensen said
that the rapture has already started while the prophet was yet alive. Who
should we believe? The prophet never preached that doctrine. You are not more
spiritual than him. You are perverting the scriptures. The Bride has a changed body before she is caught away.
That is God’s order. Now show me, I
demand of you, if you have any light in you, prove to me how the rapture
could start before the changed body, which is in a moment’s time. I can clearly
say that you do not understand that the changed
body is different from the rapture. Away with your nonsense and come to the
Word of God. You are deceiving people. The prophet never even hinted this
nonsensical doctrine in any of his messages. You cannot show anybody that the
rapture has started. To apply that to the
changing of the soul by birth and baptism is wrong. You are misplacing the
scriptures by your misinterpretation of 1 Thessalonians 4: 16.
That
revelation of the rapture that the Bride is waiting for is locked up in the
seven thunders, because the thunders are to produce rapturing faith.
Heretical
Article No. 814: “The headstone has come and capped the pyramid.”
Quote Owen Jorgensen:
“The seventh seal is the headstone capping the
pyramid... and the cap of the pyramid will be Christ
coming...”
... In December
of 1962, Brother Branham experienced one of the most powerful visions... a constellation
of seven angels in the form of a pyramid. ... “...I found myself somewhere
in the corner … And I had my bible open, and I was reading… Romans, The 9th
Chapter, last verse: behold, I lay in sion, a cornerstone, a
stumblingstone...”
...A few months later, when the vision
was literally fulfilled, when those Seven Angels met him in
it could not have been
much plainer. God has interpreted the vision and the event by his own prophetic
word, romans 9:33 – the headstone
capping the pyramid. ” (The seventh seal – An exposition on the message of
the hour).
E.O.D.H.
Answer: Jorgensen
is saying that the headstone came in 1963 and capped the pyramid when the seven
angels appeared for the opening of the seals, and connects it to Revelation 10.
By this heresy and others he deceived and polluted a poor elderly brother by
the name of C. W. Wood who complimented and gave credit to Jorgensen for the
thunders heresy that Wood propagates.
Jorgensen quoted the prophet as saying that the cap of the pyramid will
be Christ coming. This is true, but must be understood in its right context. It
is true that the prophet also said that the seventh seal is the coming of the
Lord. Though the prophet said these things, he never taught that the
headstone came at the opening of the seals nor that the seventh seal was
the headstone. This is a heresy. Neither Jorgensen, nor any heretic can
find me a quotation of Brother Branham saying that the headstone came at the
opening of the seals. I challenge the world, I challenge every heretic, I
challenge all the theologians in the message, I challenge all the computer
brained men, to show me where Brother Branham said that the headstone came at
the opening of the seven seals. The prophet positively declared, after the
opening of the seals, on several occasions that the headstone did not yet come and that the church was yet looking for
it to come and cap the pyramid:
Quote:
"The pyramid will be capped one of these
days". (Standing in the Gap - 1963).
Quote:
"The cap never did
come, because it was a cornerstone in the church. In the full church it was the
headstone, so it never did come it was rejected Christ and it will come". (Standing in
the Gap - 1963).
Quote:
"The headstone is coming". (Turn on the
Light - 1964).
Jorgensen said that the
headstone already came in 1963. In 1964 the prophet is saying, the headstone is
coming. Just the dates alone expose him and his heresy.
Quote:
"The headstone is
coming, crying Abba Father, pretty soon, My God! I believe that with all my
heart". (Turn on the Light - 1964).
The prophet preached the
same doctrine that I am preaching that the headstone is coming.
Quote:
"The headstone is
yet to come" (Questions & Answers - 1964).
Quote:
"We are looking
toward heaven for the coming cap on the pyramid. We are looking forward. We are
looking toward heaven for the coming cap on the pyramid". (Leadership -
1964).
CORNERSTONE - CAPSTONE
Thus to say that the headstone came in 1963 is contrary to the message and
is a damnable heresy.
I am going to prove this scripturally wrong,
by the first coming of the Lord. Jesus came the first time and He preached the
Gospel. He was on earth, and the Cornerstone never did come until the day of Pentecost.
The Cornerstone was an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the coming of the
Lord was in a different category all entirely. 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 outpouring of the Holy Spirit into the Bride of Christ.
It has got to type out with that.
Now, anybody
could have risen up in that time and say, “But Christ is here already so we
have the Cornerstone in us.” No, they were not so foolish. Tarry in
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: II
Thessalonians 1:10, “when He shall
come to be glorified in His saints.”
Jorgensen cannot
divide the coming of the Son of man from the coming of the Cornerstone or the Headstone. How unspiritual is he, and it is
right in the Bible. Jesus came and they never called that the Baptism of the
Holy Ghost, the seal of God, that was coming! Jesus was called the ‘Stone’.
The first coming of the Lord is called the ‘stone’. It only became the
cornerstone when the outpouring came. 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 was only when He was
rejected, He became the Cornerstone.
And what was the Stone? The coming of
the Lord.
At the Opening of the Seals the ‘Stone’ came, and again the
Organizations rejected the Opening of the Seals. It is not the coming of the
Cornerstone because the pyramid went 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 Seven
Church Ages. So the same Cornerstone becomes
the Headstone. It is another outpouring
of the Holy Spirit. 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 glorified in His saints in the fullness of the Godhead.”
I will present to you
the words of Brother Branham that you might understand his teachings on the
headstone. He taught that the headstone was the power of the Spirit that he
came to restore to the church, and that the headstone is the baptism of the
Holy Ghost, the seal of God, the love of God, the capstone, and when the church
comes to that headstone she would be a super church and a super race and she
goes in the rapture.
Quote
W.M.B.: "Zerubabel has laid
the foundation and Zerubabel shall bring the headstone with shouting of Grace,
Grace unto it"
"Zerubabel
has laid the foundation, and will bring the headstone, the seventh angel was to
restore the faith of the fathers; In other words, rebuilt the church again
under power of the spirit, not by might, but by my Holy Spirit, God will bring
forth the church in the last days." (Message of Grace -
1961).
My prophet is saying,
that the headstone is the power of the Holy Ghost that is coming to the church
in the last day. Do you believe Malachi 4? I believe him. Did he say that it
was the message? Did he say it was the seventh seal? Did he say that the
headstone was angels? No, he said that it is the Holy Spirit that is coming
into the church.
Quote:
"When a man possess
this seven virtues then, the capstone
comes down and seals them into the kingdom of God, which is the Holy
Spirit" (Statue of a Perfect Man - 1962).
Capstone and headstone
are the same article. It belongs to
the top and when a man possesses these seven virtues then comes the headstone
to seal him.
Quote:
"When the capstone
comes the Holy Spirit cements it together that's the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
That's why it's so short today" (Blasphemous Names -
4.11.62)
The headstone, which is
the capstone, is the Holy Ghost like the day of Pentecost.
All right, look up at
the pyramid. Do you notice a headstone at the top? What do you see? "Holy
spirit." What do you see inside the cap? “Love." God is Love, and God
is the Holy Spirit. There we are. Did he put message or seventh seal inside of
there? No! Did he put angels inside of there? No! The capstone is the Holy
Spirit. Yes! It is charity, it is Love, it is God.
What
happened to this dumb biographer? You better get your lines straightened out. I
am saying, evidently, the capstone is the Holy Ghost like the day of Pentecost.
Yes! I defy the whole world, I defy all the seven thunders interpreters. I defy
all those heretics telling us that the seventh seal is the headstone, that the
message is the headstone. They are not.
The Prophet of God said the Holy Ghost is the headstone, and it is coming into
the Bride in this last day to give her power. His ministry upon the earth is to
bring back the headstone into the Bride. He has gone home but his message will
do it. That's the purpose of the message.
Quote:
"In these last days
the true bride church will come to the headstone, she will be a super church a
super race as she nears him. They will be the very manifestation of the word of
the living God". (Church Ages-pg 171).
The prophet of God
looked forward for the headstone coming to the Bride. And in the prophecy of
1962 when he preached "Spoken Word
is the Original Seed", he took his pen and was inspired to write:
Quote:
"In these last days
the true bride church, the true bride church will come to the headstone and she will be a super church, a super
race, as she nears him. They will be the very manifestation of the word of the
living God". (Spoken word is the Original Seed).
Beloved, that is where
the headstone comes. The headstone comes into the Bride in the last day. When
the headstone comes it is coming to a people. When the headstone comes the evidence is that she will be a super
church, a super race. That's the evidence. These people who claim that the
headstone came in 1963 are they a super church? Are they a super race? They are
not.
Heretical
Article No. 815: “The seven thunders are the seven seals.”
Quote Owen Jorgensen:
... “Now this messenger of Malachi 4 and revelation 10:7 is going to do two things... He will reveal the mysteries
of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations “contained” in
the seven seals.”
So, the seven thunders of
Revelation 10 are the seven seals, which is the third pull, which is the
revealing of the son of man, which is the king’s sword, which is the Word,
which is Jesus Christ, which is Parousia.”
E.O.D.H.
Answer: This
is a dumb doctrine of people who read the message without a divine revelation.
When the prophet preached on the seven seals he said that the thunders were
different from the seals:
Quote W.M.B.:
75-3 {49} ...These Seven Seals has the Book sealed.
See? The Book is absolutely sealed. Do you see it? The Book is absolutely a
sealed Book until the Seven Seals is broken. It is sealed up with Seven Seals. Now, that's a different from the Seven Thunders. (The Breach
63-0317E).
The seven
thunders are not contained in the seven seals messages preached by the prophet. If I am wrong, I want Jorgensen or
any man on earth to show me the thunders in there. At the opening of the seals
the prophet firmly declared that the thunders holds one mystery, and that is
the coming of the Lord, which he firmly declared that it was not revealed to
him. You are
telling us that it held the revelation contained in the seven seals, which
includes the antichrist in different stages of his ride. The seventh seal was
to reveal Christ, not the antichrist. How much more dumb can you get? Stop
trying to interpret the message. You were not called or gifted of God to do so,
is evident by your gross perversion of the message. Stay in your calling as a biographer and stop
mixing up sincere people. I challenge you to prove this heresy in the light of
what I just said. It is of the devil!
Adding to this the prophet stated that the seventh angel was
to open only six seals.
Quote
W.M.B.: 270
The seventh angel was to open the six-seal mystery. (Proving His
Word 64-0816).
Heretical
Article No. 816: “The seventh seal revealed the written mystery
of Revelation 10: 7.”
Quote Owen Jorgensen: “Let me draw your attention to a few significant
correlations:
...Revelation 10: 7 –
“The Mystery of God should be finished. Notice – Mystery, singular. The seventh
seal has revealed Him (Christ is the mystery of God Revealed; Unveiling of
God.)”
E.O.D.H.
Answer: Jorgensen
is saying that the mystery of Revelation 10: 7 is correlated to the seventh
seal. In other words it is related or connected. He further believes that the
thunders were messages preached after the seals, of which “Christ is the
Mystery of God revealed” is one. It is worth repeating that on the very
message: “Christ Is The Mystery”, the prophet stated that the seventh seal was
not revealed:
SEVEN
THUNDERS – THAT’S ONE THING HE HASN’T REVEALED YET
Quote W.M.B.: 17-1
God's great mystery of how... It's a secret. He kept it a secret. Nobody knowed
nothing about it; even the Angels didn't understand it. See? He didn't reveal it. That's the reason
under our seventh mystery, when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence.
Jesus,
when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said,
"It's not... Even the Son Himself don't know when it's going to
happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's a secret. And that's the
reason there was silence in heaven for a space of a half hour. And Seven
Thunders uttered their voices, and
John
was even forbidden to write it (See?)--the coming of the Lord.
That's one
thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He
will come, and when He will come. It's a good thing that He doesn't. No. He
has showed or revealed it in every type that's in the Bible. (Christ Is
the Mystery 63-0728).
To
say that the mystery of Revelation 10: 7 is correlated to the seventh seal is
contrary to the scriptures and the teachings of the prophet. The prophet taught
us that the mystery of Revelation 10: 7 were the mysteries that were declared
to the prophets and they wrote them down in the Bible. He said, they are the
written mysteries. But after all these written mysteries of Revelation 10: 7
are finished, there is only one thing left that is stuck to the book that is
not revealed, and that is the seven thunders that was not written in the book,
and this thunders mystery is hiding under the seventh seal that was not written
in the Bible. He further taught that the sixth seal finishes the mystery even
before the seventh is opened, and the seventh angel who was the reveal all
written mystery was to reveal six seals:
WHEN WRITTEN MYSTERY FINISHED, THE UNWRITTEN THUNDERS
LEFT TO BE REVEALED
Quote
W.M.B.: Page 37-3 102 "Now, there's writing on the inside of the
Book, but the backside had seven seals on the back of it that wasn't written in
the Book… "And in the days of the voice of the seventh angel all this
mystery that's written within should be finished."… When the Book is
finished, there's only one thing left, and that is the seven mysterious voices
of thunder that was wrote on the backside of the Book that John was forbidden
to write... these seven thunder voices is the only thing that is stuck to the
Book, that's not revealed. It's not even written in the Book." (Sirs is
this the time 30/12/62).
Quote
W.M.B.: 36-3 "The Sixth Seal finishes the mystery--under the
Sixth Seal just before the Seventh opened." (Feast of the trumpets
64-0719M).
Quote:
270 "The seventh angel was to open the six-seal mystery." (Proving
his word 64-0816).
So
those scriptures are not correlated, as Jorgensen is projecting. He has
formulated another heresy.
Heretical
Article No. 817: “Revelation 10: 1; feet as pillars of fire is
correlated to the pillar of fire meeting the prophet in his study at the seals
and revealing the sealed mysteries to him.”
Quote Owen Jorgensen: “Let me draw your attention to a few significant
correlations:
...Revelation 10: 1 –
“His feet as pillars of fire...” For seven consecutive days, the pillar of fire
met Brother Branham in a little room in
E.O.D.H. Answer: I am asking “By what
authority has Jorgensen made a connection between this scripture and that
event?” The prophet never did any such thing. Why should you? You are not wiser
that Malachi 4: 5-6. You need to speak where he has spoken and be silent
concerning your formulation of heresies and perversion of the message. You do
not know what you are talking about, neither will I cast precious pearls before
swine. You need to humble your heart:
Revelation 1: 15 <And his feet like unto fine brass, as
if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.>
Revelation 2:18 <And unto the
angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who
hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine
brass...>
You
have again formulated a heresy.
All the extensive studies and
research of this biographer, never revealed to him the truth of the message,
but instead he has formulated heresies after heresies. May this serve as a
lesson to all message believers. The prophet warned the people to not to make
any ism on the seventh seal; it is not opened. He said do not put any
interpretation least you wind yourself off the beaten track. He said, be humble
and go on with the plain message; if God wants you to know anything He will
send it to you:
DON’T
MAKE ANY ISM – IT ISN’T OPENED
Quote
W.M.B.: 577-1 {400} 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" out of it. The only thing you do, you just continue serving
God, because this great secret is so great that God wouldn't even let John
write it. It thundered out, but He... knowing that... promising us that it
would be opened, but to this time, it isn't opened. (The Seventh
Seal 63-0324E).
DON’T
TRY TO INTERPRET 7TH SEAL - TWIST YOURSELF
OFF
THE BEATEN TRACK
Quote
W.M.B.: 459-5 {16}
...so don't put no interpretation
to anything. See? You just go ahead and just remember what you're told; live a
Christian life. Go to your church, be a real light wherever you are, and just
burn for Christ, and tell the people that how you love Him. And just let your
testimony be with love all the time with the people (See?), 'cause if you don't
you twist yourself out into something there, and then you're off the beaten
track.
See,
every-time you try to do it, you've done that. See? So just don't--don't--don't
try to make no interpretation. And especially tonight, when that Seal becomes up in front of you. See? Just don't try to
interpret it. You just go ahead and just be humble and go right on with the
same plain message. (QA On The
Seals 63-0324M).

anything, He will send it to you (See?) (QA On The Seals

The
following chapter deals with several other detrimental and diabolical heresies,
based on the seventh seal/seven thunders, which were formulated by this
biographer in direct disobedience to the warnings of the prophet, and which
were previously exposed by E.O.D.H. and published in 2005 on E.O.D.H. book 13.
A BIOGRAPHER'S
MISCONCEPTION OF THE MESSAGE OF MALACHI 4:5&6
Heretical Articles Nos.
491 to 508;
{Questions Nos. 430 to
450}
CHAPTER
TWO
Of recent times
several questions concerning a notable biographer and message follower, by the
name of Brother Owen Jorgensen, were presented to the pastor of Bethel. The
questions in short were: "Who is Owen Jorgensen and are his teachings on
the seventh seal/seven thunders in line with the scriptures and message; and if
not, can these teachings be refuted by E.O.D.H.?
Question # 430: "Do you know Owen
Jorgensen?"
E.O.D.H. Answer: No, not personally. I
only know him as a writer, who gained much popularity, and is known far and
wide for his wonderful work: "The Supernatural", which is a
series of publication of the life and ministry of Brother Branham. In general,
his work is very complimentary. Five books dealt with the life and
ministry of the prophet, from his birth unto 1961. We are not against such
wonderful biography. We read and distribute his books among our congregations,
highly appreciate, respect them, his hard labors, accuracy and invaluable
information made available to message believers by his wonderful work. I am not
this brother's critic but highly esteem him and love him for his work. May such
be understood in my correction of his misconception of the message of Malachi
4:5-6.
Question # 431: "Has E.O.D.H. ever
examined his teachings on the 7th seal/7 thunders that is on a website of a
brother from Cape Town, South Africa?"
E.O.D.H. Answer: Yes, one of our editors
did, just recently, after observing doctrinal errors which were injected into
his work, based on the Tent vision and Africa/India vision. A
main propagator of heresies based on the thunders (C. W. Wood), gave credit to
Brother Jorgensen for heresies he formulated on the 7th seal/7 thunders. I was
awaiting Jorgenson's final publication which deals with the period of the life
and ministry of Brother Branham, from 1962 unto his death, which takes in the
opening of the seals, before I commented on such errors. Now that I have
sufficient information from such website and several questions, I will proceed
to correct those heresies. I had some communication with the pastor who is
responsible for the above mentioned website. He is a
gentleman and one who strives to keep the peace amongst message believers. I
consider him a friend and brother. I am not sure why he has such teaching
advertised in support of Brother Jorgenson. This work is not to discredit him
in anyway.
Question #432: "If
he says that the seventh seal was revealed by Brother Branham, should I accept
that, seeing that he is such a great writer, held in high esteem and ordained by
God to write the biography of Brother Branham? He said:
Heretical Article #491: Quote
Jorgensen: "Then, when I reached the Seventh Seal, I came up against a
very hard question indeed. Bro. Branham makes several statements like this one
on page 576, "...the Seventh Seal is not to be known to the public." In
years past when I came to this part I would breathe a sigh of relief and
think, "Good. The Seventh Seal is not open yet… If the Seventh Seal
was not opened in 1963, then the mystery of God is not finished… The Seventh
Seal IS OPEN; let that fact be fully established in our minds and souls."
E.O.D.H. Answer: I
am not against this brother, knowing that he has done such a wonderful work
that has influenced and blessed message believers, worldwide. However, when he
starts getting doctrinal, that's a different subject. He should stay in
his calling as a biographer and not try to interpret what the prophet never
interpreted. For any man to say that the seventh seal was opened by Brother
Branham, is to inject a damnable heresy into the message and the word of God.
No one, regardless of their affiliation or relationship with the prophet, or
what contribution and sacrifices they may have made for the spreading and
publication of this message or life and ministry of W.M.B., should use their
influence or authority to add or inject error into his message. The danger of
one word added to a pure message can be seen in Genesis. God said, "Ye
shall surely die"; the serpent said, "Ye shall not surely
die." One word added. The prophet said, "The seventh seal is not
opened"; heretics say, "It is opened." One word taken
away.
From his testimony above, this precious brother, like all
other message believers, once walked in respect and obedience to the advice and
declaration of the prophet, which said that "the seventh seal is not
opened; don't make any kind of ism out of this unopened seal." This they
did for ten long years (1963 - 1973), but like mother Eve, grew impatient,
and contrary to their former beliefs, after a period of time, and accepted the
said message with a twist and perversion injected into what the messenger had
taught. You cannot deviate from the teachings of a major prophet and come out
right.
Jorgensen was on a solid foundation, when he
believed that the seventh seal was not opened. He belonged to the first school
of thought like Brother Branham; and the biggest mistake he made was to leave
that school of thought. Either he was sadly deceived by someone else who
was deceived, or by his own ambition and disobedience to the prophet. We write
with the effort, love and concern, that he will be restored to the first school
of thought, and patiently await the loosing of the seventh seal, in obedience
to the prophet. We believe that he loves and respects the prophet; has spoken
more highly of the prophet, and published his supernatural ministry more than
many upon the face of the earth. I do not consider this brother as a
heretic, but one who fell by heresies. A brother can be guilty of heresy and he
should be admonished (Titus 3:10). Thus, these things are not recorded for
radical exposure, but that I may be honest and sincere, and tell the truth to
precious souls that want to know what is wrong or right. To justify this
gallant brother is to deceive the person who asked these questions.
Thus, it behooves me, as a servant of God, to be truthful and honest in all
that I write or preach. I can only deal with his private interpretations for
what they are worth. If it doesn't bear record with the Word and the
message, it is heresy. There is no other name for it. I wish I could label it
differently. This is not to judge this brother or unchristianize him; but to
answer these questions honestly and truthfully.
Therefore, in love and admonition, I plead with this
precious brother, along with all message believers, who have been beguiled like
Eve, with such damnable doctrine, to return to the purity of the message of
Malachi 4: 5-6? Brother Jorgensen, please return to your former belief
on the 7th seal. Believe what the prophet has spoken, that it is not revealed.
You are misled.
Question
# 433: "If the 7th Seal/7 Thunders was not
revealed by Brother Branham in 1963, then is the mystery of God not finished?"
Heretical
Article # 492 : Quote Jorgensen: "If
the Seventh Seal was not opened in 1963, then the mystery of God is not
finished."
E.O.D.H.
Answer: Yes, the mystery can be finished and the seventh
seal not opened. Believe the prophet and deny your thinking. It's wrong. Do not
seek ways to explain away his statements. What will you do with the following
quotations? I hope you will repent.
Quote
W.M.B.: 36-3 "The Sixth Seal finishes the mystery--under the Sixth
Seal just before the Seventh opened." (Feast of the trumpets 64-0719M).
Quote:
270 "The seventh angel was to open the six-seal mystery." (Proving
his word 64-0816).
WHEN WRITTEN MYSTERY FINISHED, THE UNWRITTEN THUNDERS
LEFT TO BE REVEALED
Quote
W.M.B.: Page 37-3 102 "Now, there's writing on the inside of the
Book, but the backside had seven seals on the back of it that wasn't written in
the Book… "And in the days of the voice of the seventh angel all this
mystery that's written within should be finished."… When the Book is
finished, there's only one thing left, and that is the seven mysterious voices
of thunder that was wrote on the backside of the Book that John was forbidden
to write... these seven thunder voices is the only thing that is stuck to the
Book, that's not revealed. It's not even written in the Book." (Sirs is
this the time 30/12/62).
Quote: 564-2
{301}"The Seventh Seal, the reason it was not opened (See?),
the reason It did not reveal it, no one should know about it… He's revealed
all the six Seals, but it don't say nothing about the Seventh. And the
end time Seal, when it starts, will be absolutely a total secret according to
the Bible." (The Seventh Seal 63-0324e).
The
ministry of Revelation 10:7 was to finish the mystery of the written Book. Six
seals were written. The 7th Seal/7 Thunders was not written in the Book;
therefore it was an unwritten mystery that was not to be revealed by the 7th
Angel.

Question # 434: |
Heretical
Article No. 493: |
"Concerning
your answer on the written and unwritten mysteries, a message believer once
told me that Brother Branham said that we will find where the thunders are
written after a while. Doesn't that make it a written mystery? Also, I read
where Brother Branham said that 'the thunders would not be a revelation given
to any man. It's part of the written Word.'"
Quote
W.M.B.: 128-2 {75} And then there's coming forth seven mysterious thunders
that's not even written at all… and we'll find that after a while, the Lord
willing, find where it's written. (The First Seal 63-0318).
Quote: 274
"… theologians said, "Brother Branham, with your experience
that the Lord has given you for His people, …you'd be eligible to write a Bible
yourself, your Word that God has manifested."…See, he was trying
to catch me. See? And I said, "But, you see, I couldn't do that."
He said, "Why couldn't? You have all the qualifications." I said,
"But, you look, one word cannot be added or taken away." See?
And he said, "Well then, them seven thunders (You see?)," said,
"wouldn't them seven thunders blasting out, won't that be a
revelation be give to some man?" I said, "No, sir, it would be adding
something to It or taking something from It." It's all revealed in there,
and the seven seals opened up the revelation of what that was. See? He's
still in the Word. You see, you can't get out of that Word." (Unveiling of
God 64-0614M).
E.O.D.H.
Answer: No one should use an isolated quotation, or
statement of the prophet, to establish a heresy, contrary to what he taught and
established, in no uncertain terms, that the seven thunders/seventh Seal was
not revealed. When this quotation is viewed in its entirety and taken in its
correct context, the prophet, in wisdom, was answering a theologian who was
trying to catch him in his words. The Answer to your question of finding where
the thunders are written; every revelation, though not written in the Bible,
must dovetail with the Bible. Jesus, in His first coming, after He arose
from under the Roman seal, spoke of the things concerning Himself in all
the scriptures. This is in type of Christ coming from under the 7th Seal, after
being crucified afresh today. The same way, that revelation, though not written
in scriptures, can be preached in the entire Bible, as it was written in types
and shadows from Genesis to Revelation.
Quote
W.M.B.: 17-3 "Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know
when He would come. He said, "It's not... Even the Son Himself don't know
when it's going to happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's a
secret. And that's the reason there was silence in heaven for a space of a half
hour. And Seven Thunders uttered their voices, and John was even forbidden to
write it (See?)--the coming of the Lord. That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet,
of how He will come, and when He will come. It's a good thing that He doesn't.
No. He has showed or revealed it in every type that's in the
Bible." (Christ Is The Mystery 63-0728).
There
are many things that were not written in the Bible: "smoking, drinking,
etc.", but the revelation of it is in the Bible. The seven thunders are
not written in the letter, but it is written by revelation in types and
shadows, from Genesis to Revelation. Though all written mysteries were in the
Bible, it took Revelation 10:7 to reveal it. And though we will find where the
thunders are written after a while, it still has to come by Amos 3:7. This does
not make it a part of the written mysteries or written book, or Brother Branham
would have said so.
If
what I am saying is not right, I challenge any man to show me where it
is written. They should not come with their nonsense that it is the seven
virtues, written in the book, because Brother Branham preached the virtues in 1960.
In 1963 he said that the thunders were in an unknown language, he could not
interpret it and it was not revealed to him. If they were the virtues, he could
have read it.
Question
#435: "Brother Jorgensen supplied quotations
where Brother Branham said that all seven seals have been opened. What did the
prophet mean, seeing that in other places he said that only six seals were
revealed in 1963?"
Heretical
Article No. 494: Quote Jorgensen: "Then
I began to find place after place in Bro. Branham's sermons where he says
clearly that the Seventh Seal is open… ("Rapture" p.32) "But now
He's promised us a full square meal, the full seven course menu, for all the
seven seals are opened and everything is ready for the Word of God, for those
who can receive"
E.O.D.H.
Answer: The prophet could not use the above words to
mean that the seventh seal was opened and revealed. If he meant it that way, he
would have contradicted himself on more than forty quotations that specified
that it was not revealed. He was simply speaking about what is promised to the
Bride: the opening of the seven seals.
"The
seven seals are revealed" was a statement used by the prophet on many
messages to refer to the event of the loosing of the seals in 1963. He
withdrew that statement and corrected himself by exemption of the
seventh seal:
Quote
W.M.B.: "Remember the Seven Seals is finished. And when those
seven revealed truths... One of them He wouldn't permit us to know… The Seventh
Seal, He wouldn't permit it." (Souls in Prison 11/11/63).
Quote: "The
seven seals has perfectly been revealed, waiting only now for them seven
mysteries right at last, on the coming of the Lord and the rapture of the
Church that might happen before morning." (Warning then Judgment-1963).
He
referred to the conclusion of 1963 that the seventh seal/seven thunders were
not revealed.
No
sir, you are not finding place after place where he said that the
seventh seal is opened. You and I can find many places where he said, "The
seven seals are revealed", without specifying that the seventh seal is
revealed. When our aim is set a fraction off the bull's-eye, the bullet will go
off target by many yards. Jorgensen made his fatal mistake when he assumed that
the seventh seal was indeed revealed in 1963, although the prophet said that it
was not revealed. He has missed the target completely. He is formulating heresy
after heresy, from place to place in the message.
Question
#436 : "Could it be that the 7th Seal is opened
and is yet a secret as Brother Jorgensen taught."
Heretical
Article No. 495: Quote Jorgensen: The Seventh Seal
is open; let that fact be fully established in our minds and souls. What then
do we do with such statements as this one: "Remember the Seven Seals is
finished... one of them He wouldn't permit us to know... The Seventh Seal; He
wouldn't permit it. He stood right there in the room and revealed every one of
Them..." ("Souls in Prison" p. 23)
At
first glance the above statement appears to contradict itself. But it does not.
The reason is on page 564 of "The Seventh Seal", where Bro. Branham
lets us know that the Seventh Seal is in 3 parts. It WAS opened and Bro.
Branham saw all 3 parts, but the last part was in an unknown language… That is
how the Seventh Seal can be opened and yet still a secret. God showed the 3rd
part to Bro. Branham in an unknown language. "He didn't reveal it. That's
the reason under our seventh mystery, when the seventh seal was opened, there
was silence..." ("Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed" p. 17)
You see, the Seventh Seal IS open; yet the 3rd part of it is still a secret.
And since Bro. Branham let us know in the sermon "Rapture" that the 3
parts are the shout (1), the voice (2) and the trumpet (3) of 1 Thes. 4:16,
then we know it is the trumpet that is open, yet still a secret. On page 32 of
"Rapture" Bro. Branham said the trumpet calls the Bride to the Lamb's
supper in the sky. So the secret is the actual moment and circumstance of our
physical catching away."
E.O.D.H.
Answer: To establish in the minds of message believers
that the seventh seal is open is contrary to the message of the prophet.
Therefore it is a heresy.
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…
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." (The seventh seal 4/3/63).
Quote: 577
(2) "… this great secret is so great that God wouldn't even let John
write it. It thundered out, but He... knowing that... promising us that it
would be opened, but to this time, it isn't opened." (The seventh
seal 25/3/63).
Quote: 564
(3) "So just remember, the Seventh Seal, the reason it was not
opened (See?), the reason He did not reveal it, no one should know
about it." (The seventh seal 4/3/63).
"Not
opened" means not revealed. Something "opened"
reveals the contents of it, so it's no longer a secret. When the seals are
opened, the mysteries are revealed.
Quote W.M.B.: 78-4 {70}
"…until the day that Seal is broken, then it's revealed what's on the
inside of it…when the seal is broken and the door is open, we see into it then
and see exactly what's in there." (The Breach 63-0317E).
It
is true that the revelation starts in secret. But still, it is revealed at that
time. Jorgenson is taking quotations out of context. The quotation he used is
self-sufficient and establishes that God revealed every one of the seals except
the seventh, which He wouldn't permit to be known. That is what that quotation
is saying. How can something be revealed to you and you don't know it? The fold
that the prophet preached was a revelation about the 7th seal, and not
the revelation itself. The apostles had many revelations about the coming of
the Lord: (Mt. 25- a cry would introduce him; Acts 1- He is to return in like
manner as he went away: Revelation 1-He cometh in clouds; Luke 17:30- He comes
as the son of man, 2 Thessalonians 1:7- He comes with his mighty angels); but
the revelation of his coming was hid under the 7th seal, reserved for the end
time.
"When
the seventh seal was opened" was perverted by excepting the rest of it,
which says God has not revealed it how and when he would come, but only in
types of the bible.
After
speaking of the folds of the seals, W.M.B. concluded that the 7th seal was not
opened and not revealed.
Quote
W.M.B.: 568 (2) "One of the mysteries of that Seal,
the reason it wasn't revealed, it was seven thunders that uttered
their voices, and there it is perfectly, because nothing knows anything about
it; it wasn't even written." (The seventh seal 24/3/63).
Quote: 576
(1) "So I believe... If we don't know it, and it won't be known
'til that time, but it will be revealed in that day, in the hour that it's
supposed to be revealed in." (The seventh seal 25/3/63).
Question
#437 : "Brother Jorgensen said that the quotation
on 'Feast of the Trumpets' is being misinterpreted to say that the 7th seal is
not opened. Is he right?"
Heretical
Article # 496: Quote Jorgensen: "But
what about the place on page 26 of "Feast of the Trumpets", where
Bro. Branham says, "The Seventh Seal is not open yet."? Good
question. If you will read the context, you will find he is talking there about
the Fifth Seal, the souls under the altar killed under Hitler. Which, of
course, is true - in 1938 - 1945 the Seventh Seal was not open yet. It was
opened in March of 1963."
E.O.D.H.
Answer:
Quote
W.M.B.: 26-2 "Under that Sixth Seal, these two hundred thousand
spiritual demons, started in Rome, Germany-Hitler… turned loose upon those
Jews…They cremated their bodies and everything, and hung them on fences,
children and all, innocent people. Because they were Jews, they were done that
way. But God said He give each one of them a robe, undeserving as they was, but
His grace to blind them so that we could see...That Seventh Seal hasn't
opened yet, you know; that's His coming." (Feast of the trumpets
64-0719M).
Brother
Jorgensen is misrepresenting the above quotation, and making it of non-effect.
The quotation needs no interpretation. The prophet is plainly saying, that the
7th Seal is not revealed. It cannot be taken in any other context. To do
so is to formulate a heresy. It was not opened in 1963, 1964 or 1965, and is
yet to be broken to the public. All quotations from Seals pages 567-578 are
consistent with the above statement, saying that the 7th Seal/ 7 Thunders was
not revealed in 1963.
Question
#438 : "Is Mercy over since 1963 for all those who
were ignorant of the truth - the message of Malachi 4, and the opening of the
seals?"
Heretical
Article # 497: Quote Jorgensen: "As I
progressed through "The Breach", I next came up against a really
tough part. Bro. Branham makes it very clear that when the Lamb takes the Book
and opens the Seven Seals, he is no longer a mediator… I was much troubled
until I read in "The Breach" on page 97, "Notice where It (the
Lamb) came forth - where did It come from? It came from the Father's Throne
where He had been seated since He had been slain and raised again. He raised up
and sat on the right hand of God - ever living to make intercessions. Amen.
Raised there today as an Intercessor with His Own Blood to make intercessions
upon the ignorance of the people". Ignorance? (That was the clue.) He is no
longer in that mediatorial position, interceding for His people's ignorance.
With the Seven Seals open, the Bride is no longer ignorant… Please don't
misunderstand. I am not saying there is no more Blood. What I am saying is that
there is no more Blood covering the sins of anyone outside of the revealed Word
- for the revealed Word is Christ. the blood of Christ is still in effect but
only for the bride. When the Seven Seals were opened, God turned a corner.
There was a change in dispensations. Christ left that mediatorial position (as
Rev. 5 proves). Ignorance is no longer excused… He is no longer in heaven
interceding on behalf of men's ignorance."
E.O.D.H.
Answer: This is very ignorant of Jorgensen to formulate
a heresy on the word, "Ignorance". To say what he thinks is a great
revelation and clue to the Lamb taking the Book, is a seed of discrepancy; a
heresy. That is not what the prophet is saying. He is off the bull's-eye. The
prophet established that the Blood is yet upon the mercy seat since the seals,
in the following quotations.
Quote
W.M.B.: 1105-Q-348 348. 'Brother Branham, some say mercy is over and
no one can be saved. Now, is this true? We watch the prayer lines, and it seems
some are still finding mercy. "Is mercy over?" Don't never think
that. See?... "We notice in the prayer line some's finds mercy."
Sure. Mercy's--the doors are open. See?... just continuing right on.
Mercy is always open. See?" (Questions
And Answers 64-0830m).
Quote: 125-6
{59} "Now, the Lamb in the time of intercessory back here, He knew that
there were names in there that was put in there from the foundation of the
world, and as long as them names have never been manifested on earth as yet, He
had to stay there as Intercessor…
Therefore
as long as there was one name hadn't never yet been declared in earth, Christ
had to stay there as an Intercessor to take care of that name. But as soon as
that final name had been splashed in that Clorox or bleach, then His
intercessory days was over. "Let him that's filthy be filthy still.
Let him that's holy, he's holy still." See? And he leaves the sanctuary,
and then it becomes a judgment seat. Woe unto those outside of Christ
then" (The first seal
63-0318).
Mercy
is not over. The Blood is still on the Mercy seat, and must remain there until
the last elected is saved and baptized into the Body of Christ, and also for
the redemption of the 144,000 Jews:
"In
that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to
the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness." (Zechariah
13:1.)
The
foundation of this heresy is based on a parousia heresy. Message believers
cannot reconcile statements of the prophet with the written Word. Christ
descending at the seals never removed the blood from the mercy seat. He
descended with the open Book of Redemption, to reveal the plan of Redemption.
Redemption is by the Blood. The plan of Redemption is of no use without the
Blood being on the mercy seat, for it becomes a judgment seat then.
In
essence, Jorgensen is saying that only the Bride is covered by the Blood.
Therefore all humanity outside of the Bride is lost. Impossible! That's a
damnable heresy. God is yet saving the foolish virgins and other people. Repent
for such blasphemy.
Many
Bride members were yet in their ignorance, and were yet outside of Christ in
1963, and a great amount were not even born. Is this brother saying that there
is no mercy for these precious souls? What about, the prophet's children and
others who were yet small and ignorant; also the 300, 000 in India and those in
Africa and Japan? This heresy does not even sound like common sense. It is
ignorant to formulate a heresy upon the word "ignorance"
Question
# 439: "Is the silent in heaven as a result of The
Lord not being there, since He descended at the seals?"
Heretical
Article # 498: Quote Jorgensen: "…in
Rev. 8:1, when the Seventh Seal is opened, there is silence in heaven. Why?
Simple. The Lord is not there. He has descended with a shout to call his bride."
E.O.D.H.
Answer: This is a private opinion. Malachi 4 said that
the silence in heaven was that the secret of the 7th Seal would not be given
away. He also stated that it was not only the Lamb that was silent, but
everything shut up: the angels, the harpers, the elders etc. We want to ask,
"Did all of them descend also?" "Is heaven empty?" The
answer is "No".
Question
# 440: "Is the third fold of the seventh seal
holding the secret of the actual moment and circumstance of the physical
catching away of the Bride."
Heretical
Article #499: Quote Jorgensen: The Seventh
Seal is in 3 parts… it's in a threefold manner… In the sermon
"Rapture" on pages 29-31, Bro. Branham tells us precisely that these
three parts are the 'shout', 'voice' and 'trumpet' of I Thes. 4:16… It WAS
opened and Bro. Branham saw all 3 parts, but the last part was in an unknown
language… the Seventh Seal IS open; yet the 3rd part of it is still a secret.
And since Bro. Branham let us know in the sermon "Rapture" that the 3
parts are the shout (1), the voice (2) and the trumpet (3) of 1 Thes. 4:16,
then we know it is the trumpet that is open, yet still a secret. On page 32 of
"Rapture" Bro. Branham said the trumpet calls the Bride to the Lamb's
supper in the sky. So the secret is the actual moment and circumstance of our
physical catching away."
E.O.D.H.
Answer: Jorgenson assumes, to know more than the prophet
by this heresy. The prophet said that God did not reveal the 3rd fold to him;
it was in an unknown language, which he could not interpret. When was it
revealed to this biographer?
Quote
W.M.B.: 17-3 "Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know
when He would come. He said, "It's not... Even the Son Himself don't know
when it's going to happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's
a secret. And that's the reason there was silence in heaven for a space of a
half hour. And Seven Thunders uttered their voices, and John was even forbidden
to write it (See?)--the coming of the Lord. That's one thing He hasn't revealed
yet, of how He will come, and when He will come." (Christ Is The Mystery 63-0728).
Nowhere
can he show where the prophet stated that the first fold is the shout;
and the prophet never spoke one word about what the second fold held.
And God never revealed what the third fold was to the prophet. W.M.B. said that
God has this secret all to himself. So this is very presumptuous of our
brother. It would do him well to be silent where the prophet and the Lord were
silent, and speak where they spoke. The prophet emphatically stated that God
did not reveal how and when he will come. Humble your heart Brother Jorgenson.
Return to your first school of thought. The 7th seal is not opened.
Quote W.M.B.: 19-2 {105} "…if you're
taking it on tapes or anything, then you stay right with that tape teaching.
Don't say nothing but what that tape says. Just say just exactly what
the tape says (See?), now because some of those things... We're going to
understand a whole lot about this now, why it's misunderstood. See? And you be
sure to say just what the tape says. Don't say nothing else (See?), 'cause... I
don't say that of my own. It's Him that says it. You see? And... So many
times confusion, people will raise up and say, "Well, so-and-so said it
meant so-and-so." Let's just leave it just the way it is. (God In Simplicity 63-0317m).
If
message followers had heeded the above advice of the Holy Spirit and the
prophet, to say only what the tapes said and not make any isms of the unopened
seventh seal, they would not be in the spiritual condition they are in today:
off the beaten track and walking in darkness upon the message and the word of
God, after the greatest light of all ages came by the opening of the seals. No
man could say only what the seals tapes say and come up with the understanding
that the seventh seal was revealed to W.M.B. I send forth this challenge to all
interpreters worldwide. It is sad that after Jorgenson produced such
magnificent biography of the prophet's life and ministry, he is now perverting
the message of the prophet. I am sure that by his influence that he has
gained by his authorship that many will be deceived by his heresies.
Question
# 441: "Is the seventh seal laying in the prophet's
message, to be quickened to the Bride?"
Heretical
Article No. 500: Quote Jorgensen: "If we
need to know what this Seventh Seal is, and the revelation can only come
through a prophet, then the revelation of the Seventh Seal has to be laying in
the prophet's messages waiting for Christ to quicken it to His Bride.
E.O.D.H.
Answer: This heresy was first formulated in New York by
Pastor Coleman. No where did the prophet say any such thing. It's a heresy. The
7th Seal is not laying in the prophet's message. His message was to forerun the
coming of Christ. So there is no 7th Seal in there for Christ to quicken to
anybody. But there are facts about the 7th Seal in the message that need
to be quickened, but the 7th seal is not opened.
FACTS ABOUT THE
SEVENTH SEAL IN THE MESSAGE
Quote
W.M.B.: "Mystery Laying Behind Seven Thunders; I Don't Know How
To Interpret; Seventh Angel With Seventh Seal; One Thing In Unknown Language, I
Cannot Interpret; Seventh Seal Not Revealed; He Revealed All Six Seals, Say
Nothing About Seventh Seal; It Starts In Secret; What This Great Secret Is, I
Do Not Know; I Looked For Interpretation, I Couldn't Make It Out; Hour Isn't
Quite Yet For It; One Mystery Of Seal Not Revealed, Reason Is, It's The Seven
Thunders; I Do Not Know When It Will Be; Don't Try To Interpret It; Seven
Thunders Will Unfold Mystery At Christ's Coming; We Don't Know It, But It Will
Be Revealed In That Time, Hour, Day; Sixth Seal Opened, Seventh Seal Cannot Be

Question
# 442: "Is riding the trail again the Elijah
ministry to the Jews?"
Heretical
Article No. 501: Quote Jorgensen: How then
can we explain Bro. Branham's statements that there will be "one more
ride"?... I believe he was referring to the SPIRIT OF ELIJAH. It had been
four times upon the earth and there will be one more time for it to manifest
itself - one of the two witnesses to the Jews in Rev. 11. I am not adamant on this
point, but it does fit the scriptures.
E.O.D.H.
Answer: No, it is not the ministry of Elijah to the
Jews. He is not adamant on this point because he is not sure where he is
standing. Unlike this brother, we have no explanation other than what the
prophet gave. The prophet connected the white horse rider to a revival for the
church of God. Possibly, I can persuade Brother Jorgenson against his
unscriptural assumption. When the prophet rode the trail, it was amongst the
Gentiles not the Jews. If the trail must be ridden again, it must be amongst
the Gentiles again, not the Jews. Elijah's ministry to the Jews fulfils
the prophecy of Revelation 11, and Moses accompanies him.
Quote
W.M.B.: 4 "I was getting pretty old, and I thought, "Will
I... Will there be another revival, I'll see another time?" And
just remember, from the west will come a white horse rider. We'll ride
this trail again. That's right. Soon as we get ready. It's a promise."
(God's Only Provided Place Of
Worship 65-1128M).
Therefore
this is a promise for the Gentiles. The same God that manifested a mighty
revival in William Branham will be in a many membered body, doing the same
signs and wonders and greater, by speak the word power. The name of Elijah
Branham will ring again in Africa and India and the rest of the world.
Quote
W.M.B.: 91 "We're near the thing, brother. Listen tonight. I
believe this, in the Name of the Lord, that the things that we have done are
little minor things to what God's fixing to do right now. You're going
to hear of great things." (Israel In The Homeland 53-0329).
The
"I" that rode the trail was Christ in the prophet. He will ride the
trail again in a many membered body; the manifested sons of God. This never
happened in the church ages.
Quote
W.M.B.: "Tell me, my brother, tell me, my sister, when was the
time that the Sons of God was ever to be manifested outside of this time now?
When were there ever a time in the history, this that manifest the time to
deliver all nature?... It had to wait till this time. Now, all things has been
brought, coming, shaping up to a headstone, to the manifestation of Sons
of God coming back, and the Spirit of God coming into these men, so perfectly,
until their ministry will be so close like Christ's, till it'll join Him and
His Church together." (Adoption,
60-0522E, Par. 18-19).
Quote: "Now
the world and nature is groaning, crying, everything's a moving. What? For the
manifestations of the Sons of God when true sons, born sons, filled
sons, speak and their word is backed. I believe we're on the border of it right
now. Yes, sir. Say to this mountain, let it be so. 'Brother, I desire so and
so, a certain thing done. I'm a believer in Jesus Christ.' 'I give it to you in
the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.' Amen. There's a manifestation. 'Oh, Brother,
my crops are burning up out yonder. I haven't had rain.' 'I'll send you a
rain in the Name of the Lord God…. Oh! Waiting, groaning all nature waiting
for the manifestations of the Sons of God. God ordained it all at the beginning.
He gave man the domain. He gave Jesus Christ, and Jesus gave it in His Name,
with this assurance, "Ask the Father anything in My Name, and I'll do it.
"Waiting
for the manifestations of the sons of God…"God, let me live to see it,
is my prayer, so close till I can just feel it with my hands almost. It's right
there. That's what I've longed to see, waiting for the time when, walk
down the street; there lays a cripple, laying there from his mother's womb,
'Silver and gold have I none...?...' Oh, waiting for the manifestations of the
Sons of God, (Hallelujah.), when God will make Hisself known, when they'll stop
sickness, they'll stop cancer, they'll stop diseases." (Adoption, 60-0522E).
Question
# 443: "I understand that Jorgenson teaches that
because the King sword is the full word, the shout and the 7th seal is
revealed. Is this true?"
Heretical
Article No. 502: Quote Jorgensen: The Seventh
Seal is the 'King's Sword'… the 'King's Sword' is, "The Word… the full
Word, the complete Word, the finished mystery of God, the Lord Jesus Christ
Himself descending with a shout, fully manifested - that which is perfect… I
Corinthians 13.
E.O.D.H.
Answer: I can agree with Jorgenson on the fact that the
full word was at the seals. It's the King's sword, the finished mystery, the
descending of the Lord etc., but not the 7th seal revelation, because of those
items. Like in the first coming of Christ; Christ was the full Word born upon
the earth, but His coming was made known and revealed 30 years after. The full
Word could be here by his coming but not fully revealed. That does not disannul
the fact that he is the Word. (John 1:1, 14). When he spoke to his disciples in
parables, with withholding the revelation under the seals, He was the word and
nothing else.
Question
# 444: "Does the second coming of Christ include
His physical return with His Bride?"
Heretical
Article No. 503: Quote Jorgensen: The first
coming of Jesus Christ was not an instantaneous event. It lasted 33 years;… Is
it any surprise that the second coming of the Lord Jesus is not a single,
instantaneous event, but rather a span of time composed of many inter-related
events; including: Christ, in a physical body, returning to this earth with His
Bride, His feet once more touching the mount of Olives (reveals Himself to the
144,000 Jewish remnant)
E.O.D.H.
Answer: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 prophesied about the phases
of Christ 2nd coming. The prophet confirmed this on his message "The
Rapture". However he never ruled out the physical coming of the Lord in
his 2nd coming and placed it in his coming the 3rd time with his bride.
Therefore this is a heresy. The prophet said Christ comes 3 times. The coming
of Christ upon the Mount of Olives is His third coming and not the second.
Quote
W.M.B.: E-13 "Everything in the Word travels in a trinity.
There's three coming's of Christ. He came first to redeem His Bride. He come
second to receive His Bride. He comes the third time with His
Bride. There, everything in a trinity, moving in the Bible." (I Will Restore 54-0809A).
Quote: 43-1
"We believe in the second coming of Christ, the visible corporal
body of the Lord, not spirit, but the corporal body of the Lord Jesus coming
again in glory." (Serpent
seed 58-0928E).
Question
#445 : "Is this quotation saying that Brother
Branham is the messenger of the seventh seal and the seventh seal is his
message?"
Heretical
Article No. 504: Quote Jorgensen: "In
"Feast of the Trumpets" Bro. Branham said… , "Notice Revelations
10:1 to 7, all the mysteries are to be revealed to the Bride by the messenger
of the Laodicea church… From the seventh angel's (messenger of the Seventh
Seal) Message (and Revelations 10 Was the Seventh Seal)" (p. 39)…
He
said that he is the messenger of the Seventh Seal. He said that the Seventh
Seal Is His Message… He Said That The Seventh Seal Is Revelation 10. He Said
That His Message Is Revelation 10. He does not just mean the seventh verse of
Revelation chapter 10. He means verses' 1 to 6 as well."
E.O.D.H.
Answer: The above quotation is not saying what Jorgenson
says it is. His addition to the quotation makes it appear, that it supports his
heresy, that the 7th seal is the prophet's message. He could not say or mean
that because he had concluded that the 7th seal/7 thunders were not revealed
{seals Pg. 567-578}. He also warned not to make any ism of it. Many isms were
formulated and this is one of them.
Question
# 446: "Is the seventh seal the tent vision as
Bro. Jorgensen stated?"
Heretical
Article No. 505: Quote Jorgensen: "The
Seventh Seal is the Tent Vision… Since Bro. Branham connects the 'King's
Sword', the 3rd Pull, Rev. 10, the Tent Vision and the Seventh Seal, we
understand that all these things are various aspects and different angles of
the self-same thing."
E.O.D.H.
Answer: No it is not, although it has its
connection, when the ministry is broken to the public, with vindication of
signs, wonders and miracles.
Our
brother, by this heresy, seeks to spiritualize the Tent vision of Brother
Branham. No one can show me anywhere where he ever said that. He plainly stated
that the tent vision was not yet fulfilled and that it was a natural tent, and
sought to borrow $100,000.00 to purchase that tent. To assume otherwise is very
self-willed and presumptuous. Many message ministers think that they are wiser
than Malachi 4, and are more qualified to interpret the prophet's vision than
he himself. A prophet and not a biographer, is called of God to interpret a
vision. Therefore the prophet is right and all who speak contrary are wrong,
regardless of who they are.
Question
# 447: "What do you think of Jorgenson's idea of
the tent vision of the prophet?"
Heretical
Article No. 506: Quote Jorgensen: Does the
'tent' or 'cathedral' in the Tent Vision represent the world? It certainly will
be a world-wide Bride, each with the same revelation of Christ… If the 'tent'
does represent the world, this would fit easily, for the translation will be
made up of a living Bride and resurrected Bride, those saints who have fallen
asleep down through the seven church ages
E.O.D.H.
Answer: This question on the tent vision and the
suggestion of brother Jorgenson that it is the worldwide bride, has left room
for me to reach him. Therefore I admonish him to rethink his suggestion.
Brother
Jorgenson, the prophet in his vision saw a literal tent or cathedral. He never spiritualized
it but referred to it throughout his message as literal, even unto his
departure. Neither you nor I should interpret that vision and spiritualize it.
That is to assume an office higher than the prophet. We are to wait and see if
it is a tent or cathedral, since that is the only thing the prophet was
uncertain about. He was positive about it, insomuch that he was about to borrow
$100,000 to purchase a tent. There are several items in that vision that cannot
fit the misconception of it being a worldwide bride. Where will you fit the
little room, the man and woman that were healed, the prayer line a city block
long and above all, speak the word Power by which they were healed. The bride
does not possess that power. Let us humble our hearts. If you don't, you will
cast a negative shadow upon your most wonderful biography of the prophet.
Please do not destroy such great work by your heresies. Repent sir, it is not
too late. Admit that they are all your suggestions and denounce them. You mixed
up elder C.W. Wood. Tell him you are wrong. Let us deliver the old brother from
such damnation of Hell.
Question
# 448: "Is the seventh seal and the rapture a span
of time - the half an hour silence?"
Heretical
Article: Quote Jorgensen: 2. The Seventh Seal is
a span of time. "And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was
silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."… In his sermon
"Rapture" Bro. Branham lets us know that the rapture, contrary to
denominational dogma, is a span of time which begins with a shout - that
is, his Message…Rev. 8 (rapture is a span of time; about ½ hour of silence in
heaven, and a shout on earth the same).
E.O.D.H.
Answer: This heresy was already exposed as heretical
article No. 330 E.O.D.H. book 12. Elder C.W. Wood drew his inspiration from
Jorgenson. Thus I will repeat the answer to his heresy, which I gave to C. W.
Wood. Though it varies a little, the context is the same.
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 7th seal wouldn't be given away to Satan. (The
seventh seal 63-0324E).
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.
There
is no record in the Bible where a revelation took any amount of years to come
to any people. The revelation of each of the other six seals took seconds to
come to Brother Branham, when God was about to reveal it. None of the six Seals
took a year, or two years or twenty years; it took a matter of seconds.
Mr.
Wood said, 'After twenty years passed, God opened the Seal to a few brothers
(In the early 80's), and, twenty more years have passed and the Mystery is
being revealed to the Bride, in general." So it took 40 years for the
revelation of the Seventh Seal to be brought down to us.
That
is not the pattern of the First Seal, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth or Sixth
Seal.
The
six Seals never took a year, or two years or twenty years; it took a matter of
seconds even because God had His channel standing there, Amos 3:7, His provided
way to receive the revelation.
It
breaks the entire pattern of the Scriptures and breaks the program of God in
bringing revelation unto His people.
It's
not years that brings the revelation. No. It is the program of God,
His ordained 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. Not a matter of time. The
revelation of the first Six Seals came immediately to Brother Branham and
likewise to the elect who heard him. That pattern will not be changed for the
Seventh Seal, when it is broken to the public.
God
uses an individual, not groups of men, is what the Messenger said. The
revelation was revealed to one man. So revelation does not come in a matter of
time or progressively, and it does not come as a piece here and a piece there
and a piece over here and brought together to form a picture.
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 did not say that we shall be changed in thirty years or
forty years, from 1963 to 2003. We shall be changed in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trump! And the last trump has not yet sounded.
The body change comes, in a moment, and in the twinkling of an eye when 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 that the rapture
has already started.
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 prove such a heresy.
Question
#449 : "Are the seven angels which came at the
seals, the seven spirits of God?"
Heretical
Article No. 507: Quote Jorgensen: Those Seven
Angels, which Bro. Branham met in 1963, delivering to him the revelation of the
Seven Seals---those Seven Angels are the seven spirits of God.
E.O.D.H.
Answer:
Quote
W.M.B.: 248-5 "…the seven Spirits of God mean it is the
one and same Spirit coming forth in a sevenfold way… the continuous
ministry of the same Holy Spirit in the lives of seven men with whom God
identifies Himself very closely…Who these seven men are can easily be seen
because the next phrase calls them the seven stars which are already known to
us as the seven messengers to the seven ages… So we see that the
Seven Spirits actually refer to the One Spirit of God working out the will and
Word of God in different generations." (Sardisean Church Age - Church Age Book Cpt.7).
The
prophet of God, who was called of God to interpret the scriptures, declared
that the seven spirits are not seven separate spirits, but seven manifestation
of one Spirit of God, in the lives of the seven Church Ages messengers. But the
seven angels at the seals were seven individual spirits. So this is a
heresy. Our brother's interpretation of the scripture is wrong, and he would do
well to stay in his calling as a biographer, by which he earned high respect.
He should desist from such folly.
"Dead
flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so
doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour."
(Ecclesiastes 10:1).
Question
# 450: "Is it true that each fact and revelation
within the edited church ages is correct?"
Heretical
Article No. 508: Quote Jorgensen: It is also important
to note that the book, An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages, was edited by
Bro. Branham and printed AFTER the Seven Seals were opened, so that each fact
and revelation within is correct; however it is written from the standpoint of
its correct chronological position, BEFORE the opening of the Seven Seals.
E.O.D.H.
Answer: I believe that the Church Ages book written by
Dr. Vayle was inspired. However there are several statements that are
inconsistent with Brother Branham's message. The prophet never made such
erroneous statements on the Church Ages tapes. He taught entirely different to
such doctrines that were injected into the church ages.
Brother
Jorgenson clings to the main error of the church ages, because it supports his
heresies that the 7th seal/7 thunders is revealed. The church ages were a
different subject from the 7th seal and the prophet kept it separate. He never
highlighted it on his church age messages and in his proof-reading never
injected the teaching of the seals, because he had already concluded at the
event of the seals in 1963, that it was not revealed and maintained that
teaching until he departed. Brother Jorgenson is guilty of another heresy which
can baffle the minds of the simple. He has no authority to say what he is saying.
Therefore, I admonish him to repent for this and all other heresies, which he
has formulated. E.O.D.H. will deal with the subject of the seven church ages in
a subsequent article, since there are several heresies which have surfaced
concerning it of recent times.
The
erroneous teachings of Brother Jorgensen were made public on a website. I
therefore deem it proper that this exposition of his heresies should also be
made public for the deliverance and edification of message believers. I trust
that this exposition would help Brother Jorgensen to denounce such heresies and
return to the prophet's first school of thought that the seventh seal/seven
thunders was not revealed. Amen!
My
tongue gives thanks unto our Lord. Let all be gladly notified, that our
Pastor and friend of South Africa, having Jorgenson's book on his website,
-reference Question # 431-, after asking for his response to this article, has
decided to have the book removed. This precious pastor has proven himself more
faithful, to the purity of the message, than I ever anticipated. I hereby
publicly thank him for his loyalty to the correction of errors on the message.
This should clear his character from the gross errors of Brother
Jorgenson's heresies.”
Jorgensen’s seventh seal book, which
contains many heresies that were exposed above, was also published on the
website (http//www.endtimemessage.info) of a popular man from the Philippines
by the name of Ron Millevo, who is
associated with many thunder preachers and attends yearly conventions with
them. He also teaches many heresies which are also published on his website,
several based on the seventh seal/seven thunders. He teaches as follows:
RON MILLEVO’S HERESIES
·
The thunders
were written in the Bible but were missed back there.
·
Brother Branham cannot add to the Bible by
introducing any new thunders doctrine.
·
The seventh seal was revealed by Brother
Branham.
·
The seven thunders are the seven seals.
·
Each seal was a thunder.
·
The first thunder is the white horse, second,
the red horse, third, the black horse etc.
·
The seventh thunder revealed a mighty angel
coming down with an open book, which event was fulfilled in the ministry of
W.M.B., the Mighty Angel, fulfilling in the flesh-body of the prophet of God
(Hebrews 13:8).
·
The seventh thunder held the coming of the Lord.
·
The seven thunders were hidden mysteries that
were revealed by W.M.B. when the seals were opened. There was silence in heaven
because Christ was on earth.
·
There are six raptures in the Bible.
All these and more of his heresies will
be exposed on a subsequent article. This is one example and proves what I said
at the beginning of this book, that Jorgensen
belongs to a thunder team, with other thunder heretics, with similar
heretical doctrines, and they are in support of
him including their thunder heresies into the prophet’s biography.
Below is a
list of Jorgensen heresies, which are similar in nature to those of other
thunder preachers and heretics listed in brackets:
