As sure as the Lord God promised to send a prophet like Elijah before the terrible day of the Lord (Mal 4:5; Mt 17:11), He certainly has fulfilled this promise in our day. Just as the spiritually blind scribes did not recognize the fulfillment of the promises in Isa 40:3 and Mal 3:1 back then, the Christian leaders of today do not recognize the fulfillment of the most important promise for our time. With the utmost respect for God and God’s Word, we believe the testimony of the commission given to William Branham on June 11, 1933.

Whosoever does not respect what the Lord has done in our time is bypassing what God is presently doing. Eighty-five years have passed since 1933. On June 11, at about 2:00 pm, when the young evangelist William Branham was baptizing converts, the supernatural cloud, visible to all those present, came down upon the man of God, who was standing in the Ohio River and was about to baptize the seventeenth person. With a mighty rushing sound, which all of the bystanders heard, these words were addressed to him: “As I sent John the Baptist to forerun the first coming of Christ, your message shall forerun the second coming to all the world.” That is how Brother Branham reported it on July 14, 1963.

In the sermon on December 29, 1963, he said, “I may not do it, but this message will introduce Jesus Christ to the world. ‘For as John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so is the message to forerun the second coming.’ … I know it will. The message will go on.”

And a third quote: “A Voice said, ‘As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, your message shall forerun His second coming into all the world.’ ” (February 19, 1965).

Every statement is supposed to be based on two or three witnesses (2 Cor 13:1). That is why we have recited the three quotes from the various statements by Brother Branham himself, as he recalled hearing them from the supernatural cloud. It is about the accurate wording of the divine commission, namely to bring the message based solely on the Holy Scriptures.

Once again, we compare these to the falsified U.S. version, in which the word “message” is missing: “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so you are sent to forerun the second coming of Christ.”

Brother Branham referred to Rev 22:18-21 more than 80 times, emphasizing that no one may take away or add a single word. It was just one word that the old serpent added in Gen 3:1 to what the Lord God had said in Gen 2:16 – namely the word “not.” And that is how the fall came about. Whoever believes the falsified version and refers to it is equally as seduced as Eve was and likewise entangled in arguments. In them is fulfilled what Paul wrote in 2 Cor 11: “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” (v. 3).

Bother Branham’s passing on December 24, 1965, marked the end of a chapter in the Plan of Salvation, namely to bring the message to this church age. He brought the message, but did not carry it into another country, let alone to the ends of the earth. It was not until after Brother Branham’s departure that the original message was carried to all countries and languages around the world, as promised in the second part of the commission on June 11, 1933, and left unto us by Brother Branham as the “Thus saith the Lord.”

The self-appointed “message scholars” sat in the prophet’s chair and introduced one heresy after another, derived from misunderstood quotes. It started with the doctrine that everything would be over in 1977, and it has not ceased even to this day.

It should be noted that there is no mention in the Bible of a ministry in a tent that the prophet is supposed to complete after the resurrection in a 30-day time frame before the Rapture.

There is nothing written in the Word of God about the various seven thunders doctrines, nor about the teaching that seven special men will speak with thundering voices.

Nowhere does it state in the Holy Scripture that when the Seals were opened in March 1963, the Lamb left the mercy seat and descended in order to lay claim to the Redeemed. That is absolutely not true. In every church age, the Lord has His elect, the overcomers who will forever live in glory. That is how it is written seven times in Rev 2 and 3 in the seven messages. Amen. “He that overcometh ...” Amen.

The last promise applies to us: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” (Rev 3:21).

It is not true that Rev 10 has already been fulfilled and that the Lord has come down as the Angel of the Covenant, surrounded by the rainbow.

When He comes as the Angel of the Covenant, He sets His feet upon the sea and on the earth and swears that time shall be no more. When that happens, there are only 3 ½ years left, as Daniel saw and heard it in chap. 12:7: “… that it shall be for a time, times, and an half …”

It is written that He shall come to the Jews as the Angel of the Covenant. That is also the time when Mal 3:1b will be fulfilled: “… and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.” We thank God for the clarity in the Word of God and the certainty that every promise written in the Word of God finds its fulfillment at the appointed time.

All those who believe according to the falsified version, namely that Brother Branham was the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ, believe their own interpretations. And the list of heresies could be continued. However, Peter wrote with divine authority that no prophecy of the Scripture allows for any private interpretation (2 Pt 1:20). None of the chosen ones will believe a heresy. Those who were chosen before the foundation of the world cannot be deceived. They see and experience that the message is still forerunning the Second Coming, as the Lord said it would. They have been brought back to the Word and believe only what is written in the Word. Amen.
