People ask questions, God answers by His Word

Answer: Whoever carefully reads or listens to what Brother Branham said will find that he always read the complete text pertaining to each of the first six seals. The only exception is the seventh seal, where he just read the first verse of chapter 8, about the half an hour silence in heaven (March 24^th, 1963). He connected the seventh seal to a number of different events. He spoke about the end of the church age, the end of the trumpets, the end of the vials, right to the end of all these things. Anyone who reads the text in Rev. 8, from verse 2, will find out about the contents of the seventh seal, especially about the seven angels, who are getting prepared to sound the seven trumpets.

There are seven angels for the seven churches (Rev., chapters 1-3).

Then there are the seven trumpet angels (Rev., chapters 8-11).

And there are the seven angels pouring out the vials of wrath (Rev., chapters 15-16). All of them are placed in their divine order.

Quote: “The first three chapters of the Book of Revelation reveal all the happenings unto the Church. Then from the 3^rd chapter unto the 19^th chapter of Revelation there is no more seen of the Church. The Church goes up at the 4^th chapter of Revelations and returns back at the 19^th chapter of Revelations, the Bride and the Groom together coming to the earth. And then, from the 19^th chapter to the conclusive of the 22^nd chapter, it’s all on the Millennium and what will be in the years that is to follow. During the 4^th to the 19^th, God is dealing with Israel.” (Feast of the trumpets, pgs. 6+7). Brother Bran-ham emphasised that repeatedly. Please, make a note of this in capital letters, “Chapters 4 to 19 include chapters 8, 9, 10, and 11.”There is nothing in those four chapters that pertains to or deals with the Church, as Brother Branham said several times.

When the mercy seat changes into the judgement seat according to the seventh seal (Rev. 8:2-5), there is no longer a mediator, no advocate to receive the prayers of the saints. Then the fire from the golden altar is cast upon the earth. Thereupon follow the thunderclaps and lightning, etc. (v. 5). Brother Bran-ham was told that the seven trumpets do not pertain to the time period of the church age.

Quote: “… Immediately after that the angels of the Lord appeared and told me about the seven trumpets — or the seven seals. … It was there that the Holy Spirit opened up this to show me the reason it is not profitable even for the Church at this time, because it has nothing to do with the Church at all. … The gathering of Israel is the trumpets. The trumpets are to Israel. … Remember, every trumpet sounded under the sixth seal. … How perfect then the seventh trumpet and the seventh seal.” (Feast of the trumpets, July 19^th, 1964, pg. 8).
