Answer: It is quite strange that nearly half the questions are in one way or another related to Revelation, chapter 10. We once again have to pay close attention to what was actually said. When referring to Rev. 10:7, he always spoke in the plural, about the “mysteries”, not about the one “mystery”, which is the “mystery of God”. Brother Branham did that because he was the messenger to the last church age, through whom all the mysteries hidden in the Word were revealed. In his sermon “Sirs, is this the time?” (December 30^th, 1962), he specifically mentioned seventeen of the mysteries that were revealed, starting with “the mystery of the Kingdom of heaven”, and ending with “the mystery: The Pillar of fire returning back.” Jesus Christ is the mystery of God. This we find confirmed in 1. Tim. 3:16, where we read about the “mystery of God” — in the singular form. The Jews did not accept the revelation and manifestation of the one true God in Jesus Christ and they still do not see it until this day, whereas the New Testament Church knew the mystery of God from the beginning (Col. 2:2-3; a. o.).

At the moment when this great mystery of God is finished, the Jews will be included, as it was revealed to His servants, the prophets. When the New Testament Church is being addressed, we read about apostles and prophets (Eph. 3:5; a. o.), because the Church of Jesus Christ is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20). When something is meant for the Jews, then the following especially applies, “… as it was revealed to His servants, the prophets.”

After the announcement in Rev. 10:7, John had to eat the open book and the command was given, “Thou must prophesy again …” In chapter 11 the two prophets to Israel prophesy for forty-two months in Jerusalem, that is for three and a half years. Is that not plain enough?

In chapters 8 and 9 the first six trumpet judgments are described, in chapter 10 the seventh trumpet is announced. The actual fulfilment follows in chapter 11, from verse 15, “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world is become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever.” We must respect the divine order shown to us in God’s Word. Right after the seventh trumpet sounds, we read about the wrath to come and about the time of judgement and also about the reward to be given unto, “… thy servants and prophets and to the saints …” (chapter 11:15‑19).

It is noteworthy that in connection with the seventh seal and the seven trumpet angels the Hebrew word “shofar”, translated as “trumpet”, is used eleven times from chapter 8, verse 2, through chapter 9 and chapter 10, verse 7, to chapter 11, verse 15. The last three trumpets are announced in Rev. 8:13 and are called “voices”, like in Rev. 10:7, “Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels which are yet to sound.”

“But in the days of the voice of the seventh Angel …”
