A voice is calling out loudly: “Hear, O people, every one of you!” Through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the Pentecostal revival broke out at the beginning of the 20th century. Not only in 1906 on Azusa Street in Los Angeles, but believers on all continents experienced the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in special prayer meetings.
During the First and Second World Wars, the words of the Lord in Mt 24 took on special significance. There, Jesus spoke of wars and rumors of wars as well as famines and pestilences in view of the signs of the times. Therefore, the belief in the imminent Return of Christ grew stronger in the revival meetings during the first half of the 20th century. In Lk 21, the Lord also spoke about the times of the end and said, “So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.” (v. 31);
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” (v. 36).
The Second World War, with 60 million victims of war and 6 million murdered Jews, fundamentally changed the world. Germany and Europe were in ruins. The effects of the war were felt all over the world, even in the Pacific, where it was brought to an end by the horrific atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. All Bible believers had the impression that the end of the time of grace was close at hand. But our Lord clearly stated what must happen before the end comes: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Mt 24:14).
Shortly after the Second World War, on May 7, 1946, the American Baptist preacher William Branham, like Paul (Acts 9:1-9), received a heavenly calling. The unassuming preacher had already been told on June 11, 1933, at a baptism in the Ohio River from the supernatural cloud of light, which was visible to about three thousand people who were present: “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, so you are sent with a message that will forerun the Second Coming of Christ.” This was reported in the newspapers, especially by United Press International. The healing revival began through him, especially within the Pentecostal churches, and soon spread over the whole earth. He was a man sent from God with the message of the Word of God, which foreruns the Second Coming of Christ. Endowed with divine authority and the gift of healing, he preached in evangelizations to thousands of people, called sinners to repentance, and asked them to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. Through his preaching, thousands accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. During the prayer for the sick after the sermon, even the blind received their sight, the lame could walk, and many were healed of all kinds of diseases.
I experienced his extraordinary ministry from 1955 to 1965 as an eye- and ear-witness and carry a great responsibility to bear witness all over the world to what God has done in our time. In 1949, as a young man, I first heard about William Branham and the extraordinary things that happened in his ministry. I had the desire to hear this man of God in person. In August 1955, this wish was fulfilled: I witnessed the blessed meetings of Brother Branham in Karlsruhe and got to know him personally. When we first met, he told me, “You are a preacher of the Gospel.” From then on, I wanted to know what this man of God believed and taught. At the great Voice of Healing Conference in Dallas, Texas, USA, in June 1958, I was once again convinced of the divine confirmation of his ministry and had the opportunity to speak with him again. He said to me, “Brother Frank, you will return to Germany with this message.” From then on, I received all of his tape-recorded sermons by mail. At our third meeting on December 3, 1962, Brother Branham confirmed the calling I had received on April 2, 1962, and said, “... the food you are to store in is the promised Word for this time ...”
As the Lord said in the Great Commission, the salvation of the soul and the healing of the body belong to the proclamation of the full Gospel: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name … they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” (Mk 16:17-18). When praying for the sick, the man of God also referred to the words of our Lord in Jn 14:12: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do …”
Today we hear about wars, nuclear threats, the Middle East conflict, global warming, climate change, and natural disasters around the world. Everything is spinning out of control. At the same time, we also remember the words of the Prophet Isaiah, who predicted: “… the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.” (Isa 24:19b-20). We see the signs of the times: The end time is here; His coming is near! But no one knows the day or the hour.
The promised Return of Christ is described to us in many Bible passages. The Savior himself gave the main promise in Jn 14:3: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” All sons and daughters of God can rely on God’s promises. “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” (Heb 9:28).
A voice is calling out loudly: Hearken, O people, every one of you: At the first coming of Christ, more than a hundred prophecies from the Old Testament were fulfilled. Great wonders took place. The Lord Jesus preached, taught, and healed all of the sick who came to Him: “… and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all …” (Mt 12:15b). In order for us to truly experience our preparation, we must respect and believe the promise for our time: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord …” (Mal 4:5). Our Lord repeated this in in Mt 17:11 and Mk 9:12 and confirmed it: “Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.” This is the most important promise that finds its fulfillment before the Return of Christ. Just as Elijah called upon the people of Israel on Mount Carmel to make the decision, now all of those who belong to the Church of God are being urged to make their decision.
Before the Second Coming of Christ, everything in the Church of the Lord must be restored to its original state, as it was in the beginning (Acts 3:18-21). Whether it concerns the personal life, marriage, family, or the spiritual life of the Church, everything is brought back to the divine order as set forth in the Bible. In order to accomplish this, every believer must place himself or herself on the side of God without inner resistance (1 Kgs 18:21-40). All believers who belong to the Church of the living God return with absolute certainty to God, to the Word and Will of God, to the teaching and practice of the original Church in the beginning.
Those who found favor with God always believed every Word of God. In the past five hundred years, there have also always been people who believed the message that was proclaimed in their time. That is how it was during the Pentecostal revival. Even now, all those who find favor with God believe the original biblical message.
Now it is no longer about reforming something within Christianity as a whole, not about correcting something in the Pentecostal movement, now the important matter is for all of the Bible believers to experience the total restoration and to be renewed upon the original foundation. The redeemed who now truly believe God’s Word do not remain in the Babylonian confusion, but are sanctified in the Word of Truth: “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” (Jn 17:17).
We have arrived at the most important time period of the Plan of Salvation: The promised Return of Christ is close at hand. Therefore, we urgently need to take more seriously what our Lord said: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (Jn 3:3). This much should be clear to everybody: At the Rapture, only the redeemed who have personally experienced forgiveness through the blood of the New Covenant and have received the new, divine life through the new birth shall be there. The Apostle Peter described the salvation experience of the new birth as “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (1 Pt 1:23; Lk 8:11).
The Return of the Redeemer was one of the main subjects in the time of the apostles. There are many Scriptures in the Bible that address this topic. In 1 Ths 4:13-18, Paul described exactly what and how it will happen. At the end of the 5th chapter, he wrote: “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (v. 23).
Our Lord and Savior referred to Himself also as the Bridegroom and spoke of the wedding supper many times. Those who belong to the Bride Church accept the promised Word for this time, hear the cry: “The Bridegroom cometh!” (Mt 25), and can be made ready for the glorious day. It is predicted in Mt 25:10: “... and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.” In Rev 19:7, we read: “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.”
The Lord has prepared a place for the redeemed: “And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” (Rev 21:27).
A voice is calling out loudly: Hearken, O people, every one of you: The divine message is now going forth as the last call before the Return of Christ. “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (2 Cor 6:16-18).
Now is the time of the calling-out from all error, from all unbiblical traditions. Now is the time of preparation, the time to believe only what the Scripture says. Now, all Bible believers must be baptized by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, just as in the beginning. No believer should reject God’s Plan of Salvation as the scribes did back then (Lk 7:30).
With a view to the ministry of John the Baptist, our Lord asked the crowd, “What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?” He asked once again, “But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? … A prophet?” Jesus answered, “…yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.” (Mt 11:7-10). All prophets had prophesied until John (v. 13); from then on, the kingdom of God was proclaimed.
What did we go out to see? Did we want to hear a preacher of prosperity, a charismatic television personality? No, and no again. We have recognized that, after two thousand years, the whole Counsel of God was once again preached through the man sent from God, William Branham (Acts 20:27). We went out to hear the original message brought forth by a vessel commissioned by God, to hear a man who, on February 28, 1963, in the Sunset Mountains, forty miles from Tucson, Arizona, USA, had received the direct instruction from the supernatural cloud of light to speak in his home church in Jeffersonville about the seven seals in the Book of Revelation. He did that from March 17 to 24, 1963. Science Magazine published the photograph of the cloud on April 19 and Life Magazine on May 17, 1963. And not just the seven seals, but all hidden secrets, every teaching – about Godhead, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, etc. – everything has been proclaimed to us in its original, as the Bible teaches. Even though the prophet was taken home in December 1965, the message has remained with us and has been carried into all the world.
The Church of God is once again the pillar and the foundation of the truth, not a religious building of lies. In the Church of Jesus Christ, there is no interpretation, no false doctrine. Through the last message, which is one hundred percent in accordance with the message as it was in the beginning, the Church has been built on the original foundation. The true Bible believers are promised the seal of God as the confirmation: “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise …” (Eph 1:13). Before this can happen, they all must come out of the confusion of the manifold interpretations, for God will place His seal only on the pure Word-Bride.
Ever since my direct calling on April 2, 1962, I have preached the Word of God, the full Gospel, the pure message for this time all over the world and distributed the spiritual food (Mt 24:45-47). After being able to preach in Kuwait and Bahrain in November 2017, there are now exactly 165 countries that I have visited on my monthly missionary journeys over the past 55 years. I have preached in capitals like Moscow and Beijing, Damascus and Cairo, as well as many other cities all over the world.
Millions of people around the world have been reached through our 30-minute television programs, which have been broadcast in English by 56 television stations, allowing them to hear about the whole Counsel of God. In various different countries, my sermons are broadcast by local TV stations. Our meetings on the first weekend of each month at the Mission Center in Krefeld are heard and watched by thousands of people all over the world, be it live over the Internet or on CD or DVD, which we send out free of charge. God has ensured that the sermons preached on the first weekend of every month here at the Mission Center are translated simultaneously into 15 languages and that the message that foreruns the Second Coming of Christ is further translated into all the languages of the earth.
What God is presently doing is unparalleled on earth. Thus, the everlasting Gospel is being proclaimed to all peoples and tongues as the last message (Rev 14:6; Mt 24:14). All true Bible believers know: The end time is here; His coming is near. They hear what the Spirit says unto the churches through the revealed Word and prepare themselves for the glorious day of the Rapture.
I can testify before God, as Micaiah said in our introduction, that I have passed on only what the Lord has left unto us in His Word.
The Lord says, “Surely, I come quickly!” and all of the truly redeemed call out loudly, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev 22).
A voice is calling out loudly: “Hear, O people, every one of you!” Through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the Pentecostal revival broke out at the beginning of the 20th century.
