The God-ordained ministry of Brother Branham remains untouched. The same was of greatest significance for this last part in this last church age and promised in the Holy Scripture. We see fulfilled what he was told on June 11th, 1933, that this message of the revealed Word would forerun the second coming of Christ. As we saw Paul himself making a difference between teachings and knowledge, the same must be applied with Brother Branham. In reference to knowledge, the apostle states, “for we know in part, and we prophesy in part“ (1Cor 13:9). The foundational doctrines about Godhead, Baptism, LORD’s Supper, Resurrection, Rapture etc. are not in part, they are basical teachings in the Church of God. If the apostle speaks about minor things like eating and drinking, the keeping of days etc. he uses the word „knowledge“, but then states, “If any man think that he knoweth anything he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.“ (1Cor 8:2) Knowledge can differ with the greatest men of God because it is in part. The doctrines must for ever be the same at all times with everyone.

In regards to teachings, from the very beginning Brother Branham has laid a clear unchangeable foundation. In reference to knowledge or conviction in certain points, for instance about the 70 weeks of Daniel, he made different statements. He also used Rev. 10:7 which is in the singular almost every time in the plural, perhaps because his ministry as the last messenger was to unveil the many mysteries, starting with the original sin right to the opening of the seals. But the difference remains sky-high between “the Mystery of God“, which is Christ and will come to its completion and be finished, and the many mysteries pertaining to the Kingdom of God (Mt 13:10-11) found in the Word of God which were hidden so long and are now revealed.

Concerning the 70 weeks, I have dealt with the subject having a good conscience before God. Sometimes it is enough to start off with a wrong thought and therefore end up with a wrong result. Haw can it be for instance that one would place the ministry of our LORD into the first part of the seventieth week, when it in reality starts approximately 2,000 years later, after the Rapture? It is true that the Messiah was cut off after the 62 weeks, which were preceded by the 7 weeks. Thus it happened precisely. That part was fulfilled and immediately the time of grace, the day of salvation for the nations began. Right after the Resurrection, our LORD gave the great commission to go into all the world, preach the Gospel and teach all nations etc. Who ever reads without revelation will overlook the fact that the seventieth week did not follow the 62nd week, but applies only now at the end-time for Israel.

The Roman prince will make a covenant with many for one week (Dn 9:27) and in the middle he shall break the same and cause the sacrifice to cease. It is therefore totally impossible to affix the first half of the week to the total of 69 weeks. If the Bible says, that he – the antichrist – shall confirm the covenant for one week, then it has to be so. And if Scripture further states that this covenant will be broken in the middle – that is after the first three and a half years, then it cannot be otherwise. It is THUS SAITH THE LORD by His Holy Word. Who can dare to teach contrary? Maybe we are in need of a God-given teaching ministry, so nothing remains open, but is put into the proper order and perspective.
