It has become light at evening time. With every biblically founded doctrine, the supernatural light shines brightly, and we may walk in the light of the revealed Word. “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Cor 4:6). Amen.

The Lord took home His servant and prophet after the completion of his commission, but the revealed Word has been left unto us. It is the message that has reached the ends of the earth. God Himself has taken care of everything, and the Lord will complete His called-out Church unto the day of His Return and present her blameless in his sight (Eph 5:27; Col 1:22; and others).

God granted me the great privilege to attend the meetings of Brother Branham in Germany and in the USA. I am an eye- and ear-witness of the extraordinary ministry. I also know that he expected certain things to still come to pass. Do not worry: Everything that God ordained for the Bride will take place because all promises of God in Him are “yea” and “Amen” (2 Cor 1:18-22). His ministry was worthwhile for all the elect. I am particularly glad that the faithful God allowed me to see Brother Branham being taken up on a cloud at the moment of his passing away on December 24, 1965. I was living in Germany and had not heard anything about his accident on December 18 and also did not know about his passing away on December 24 at that time. Our Lord was also taken up in a cloud (Acts 1:9); at the Rapture, the Bride will be taken up in the clouds to meet the Lord (1 Ths 4:17), and the two prophets will be taken up in a cloud as well (Rev 11:12).

It is known around the world that I was in close contact with Brother Branham and his ministry for 10 years. Many also know what portion God, by His grace, has allotted to me as the carrier of the message. He ordained it in such a way that, after the passing away of the prophet, I was the first one to carry the message to Europe, to Asia and Africa, even into the entire world, because of the divine commission.

Only for information purposes: During Brother Branham’s lifetime, the world had not yet heard anything about the message. Besides the USA, there were only three countries in which brothers played the tapes of Brother Branham’s sermons: in Edmonton, Canada, with Brother Henri Martin, whose address was given to me by Brother Branham; in South Africa with Brother Sydney Jackson; and here in Krefeld. It was Brother Branham himself who told me on June 11, 1958, in Dallas, Texas, “Brother Frank, you will return to Germany with this message.” It was Brother Branham who repeated on December 3, 1962, what the Lord had commanded me on April 2 and then added, “Brother Frank, wait with the giving out of the food until you get the rest of it.” Only after the Lord took His messenger unto Himself could the message forerun the second coming of Christ, because only then all of the food had been stored in.

God took His Prophet Moses; He also took Elijah and Brother Branham. Moses was allowed to see the Land of Promise from Mount Nebo (Deut 32:44-52), but the congregation of Israel entered there under the leadership of Joshua. Most important for Joshua was the Ark of the Covenant because in it was the Word revealed to the prophet. That is how it is for us today: We carry the revealed Word and enter into the Promised Land; all children of promise believe the Word of promise and are sealed with the Spirit of promise (Eph 1:13). Never ever will the true God place His seal of the Holy Spirit upon someone who is in error.

At first, there was only one Church in the message in a given city, until the end of the seventies. Now many cities are home to multiple churches that refer to Brother Branham. Can any of us imagine that “believers” who refuse to have fellowship here on earth, who neither want to be together in a service nor celebrate the Lord’s Supper with one another could then be together at the marriage supper of the Lamb? Most certainly not!

But now, after this exposition, all people here and around the world have the opportunity to correct their attitude and decision. Now it is manifested, as in the days of Moses, whether we are part of the called-out Church or whether we consort with the likes of Dathan and Korah or, as in days of Paul, with Hymenaeus and Philetus (2 Tim 2:15-18). Now it becomes manifest whether the leader of a congregation rejects the ordained man of the hour, as Diotrephes rejected the Apostle John back then, for instance. Just imagine, the leader of a church rejected the Apostle John (3 Jn 9-10)! How many “Diotrepheses” are there today who declare themselves to be pastors but were not instituted by God? Does it not remain forever valid, what our Lord said of those whom He called and sent? “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.” (Jn 13:20). This is thus saith the Lord.

I know that my Redeemer lives; I also know that the Circular Letters that I write are not a private matter, but that they are addressed to the Church by God’s commission. The Lord Himself will see to it that a twofold restoration will take place in the Bride, the way it was with Job (Job 42; Jas 5). The time is at hand. Despite of my human weaknesses and afflictions, I have done everything in my ministry according to the Lord’s command and have complied with what is written in 2 Tim 4:2: “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season …” This Scripture is of special significance for me because the Lord Himself commanded me to read it in 1980 and to preach only what is written in the Word. Brother Branham also placed that same Scripture into the corner stone of the tabernacle in Jeffersonville in 1933.

My testimony is that of Paul: “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” (2 Cor 4:5).

The Return of Christ is very near; the signs of the end time indicate it. Thus Mat 24:14 is also being fulfilled: “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.”

We are now living in the end-time generation, in the last phase before the Return of Christ. Everything that was foretold in Bible prophecy, be it wars, earthquakes, famines, expensive times, natural disasters, etc., is being fulfilled before our eyes. The Lord let us know: “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” (Lk 21:28).

It has become light at evening time.
