With gratitude I look back at 54 years of preaching the Gospel and 42 years of being in the international ministry, during which I had the privilege to share the true Word through meetings and via radio and TV broadcasts with millions of people in over 130 countries. Perhaps it helped especially the brothers on the African continent that Brother Branham saw the German eagle flying through Africa. In every country, in every city I introduced the prophet, but I always preached Jesus Christ as Saviour, Who is the same yesterday, today, and for ever, and, of course, I faithfully only taught from the Word of God. I have never dealt with the controversial subjects in public, never mentioned a brother by name who propagates false teachings. However, since the glorification of a man has reached a magnitude that idolatry is being practised with the person of the prophet, with relics like pictures, crucifixes, pieces of fabric, and special sites like the grave, etc., that are being turned into places of pilgrimage, I have no choice but to speak up, whether my voice is going to be heard or not. The final push to deal with these much-debated issues was given to me by a parcel with four CDs and DVDs sent to me by a brother from the USA. It arrived just as I had finished answering these questions, a task I had actually hoped to avoid. The DVDs turned out to be yet further confirmation of the importance and urgency to show some of the controversial things in the light of the everlasting Word of God.

All that it seems to have come to is a Branham-centred message which is no longer in agreement with the everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is being heard over and over, “The Prophet said …”, “The Prophet told me …”, etc., etc. Jesus Christ is not mentioned by these people any more. He no longer has a part in what these brothers are sharing in their testimonies. The concern is the prophet and what he said, but what Jesus Christ said is not taken into consideration. Life stories, hunting stories, tent stories, airplane stories, and so on, are the contents of their testimonies and what Brother Branham said as a man is declared to be Thus saith the Lord. Is this not a complete deviation from the real Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, as it was preached by Paul (Gal. 1), a tragic apostasy that is leading to all kinds of idolatries?

Now, after more than forty years, his life story is being propagated and new versions are emerging. Do we have a life story about John the Baptist, about Peter or Paul? Or do we have the words of life that God spoke through them? William Branham left unto us a crystal-clear proclamation that has brought us back to God. Did not Brother Branham himself say in regard to the human aspects in his sermons, “If eating a cherry pie we just put the seed aside and keep on eating the pie.”? Did he not say, “Eating a chicken you just put the bones aside.”? Precisely those minor things, which are beside the point, are being made the main issues — the “bones” of contention are fiercely being fought over. Today we have to ask, “Which message do you believe? What gospel do you preach?”

In the beginning was the Word, not the interpretation! In the beginning was the unity, not the divisions! A compromise or a commingling is not possible. In the very beginning God separated light from darkness. Thus it remains for ever. Whoever does not unconditionally accept the truth of God’s Word as the only absolute is betraying the truth and thereby condemned to believe the lie and will be judged (2. Thess. 2:10-12). All the difficult general statements Brother Branham made and also the ones in reference to his ministry must be left to God. “The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever …” (Deut. 29:29).

Brothers worldwide have expressed their concern about what is going on in the USA. I am not a judge, but by virtue of the divine commission I would like to clearly state my position: My “headquarters” is not on this earth, it is in heaven. And the “Voice of God” is heard through God’s holy Word, which is being proclaimed worldwide. The following admonition is still valid, “Today, when you hear His Voice harden not your hearts!” (Heb. 3). Just as all the prophets, the Lord, and the apostles in their times had their ministries in different places, so also did our beloved Brother William Branham have his ministry mainly in the Jeffersonville Tabernacle. But no one has to travel to Jerusalem, even though the Word came forth from there (Isa. 2; Acts 2).

I already had all the sermons before Brother Branham was laid to rest and thereby was in possession of the precious spiritual food many years prior to the opening of “Voice of God Recordings” in Jeffersonville. The revealed Word is not placed under any human‘s supervision, instead it is readily available for everybody. As far as I am concerned, the entire Holy Scripture remains valid for ever, which includes the warning, “Seek ye Me, and ye shall live. But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Bersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing. Seek the Lord and ye shall live …” (Amos 5). All of these were special places where God revealed Himself in an extraordinary way, but later they led to the fateful undoing of God’s people. Jerusalem, the city chosen by God Himself, was therefore destroyed several times. On Mount Moriah, which later became the Temple Mountain, the Muslims have built the Al Aksa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. As long as God is present in a certain place through a ministry, that place serves a divine purpose. As soon as the ministry ended, those areas inevitably became pilgrimage destinations for superstition and idolatry. Right to the time of Hezekiah the Israelites worshipped and brought sacrifices to the brasen serpent that Moses put up. Hezekiah had no choice but to beak it to pieces (2. Ki. 18:1-8).

Today the Lord would say unto us, “Seek Me and ye shall live.” He cannot say, “Go to Jerusalem or to Jeffersonville.” He cannot say, “Make a pilgrimage to the grave of the prophet, or to Sunset Mountain.”, for He has said unto all of us, “…believe Me, the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father … the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth … God is Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth!” (Jn. 4:19-24). All that our Lord said is still valid today and will be for ever. Amen! Amen!

I, too, knew Brother Branham as a human being, I ate with him at the same table, drove with him in his car. He told me things that only very few people know. I have kept his 21 letters from our correspondence during the years 1958 to 1965. Twice I preached in the Jeffersonville Tabernacle at his direct request. He was the one who asked me to speak in his place to the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship at Clifton’s Cafeteria in Los Angeles. There are many things which I remember with gratitude. He even told me about the brother who paid off the remaining revenue tax debt of 40,000 dollars, so that his passport would be returned to him. I had tea in his home. After he went home to glory, I was allowed to stay in his apartment several times during my visits to Tucson. But what do all these private things have to do with the divine counsel of God?

Even Brother Branham was only human. When he said 700 instead of 7,000, or when he made the statement that Enoch walked with God for 500 years, even though he was only on earth for 365 years, it simply shows how human a slip of the tongue is. And when he said, for example, “The wheat will be burned.”, then he immediately corrected himself, “… the stalks will be burned, but the grain will be gathered into the heavenly garner.” When he stated that Noah preached for 120 years, then he only repeated what other preachers had said. That was the period of a lifetime set forth by God (Gen. 6:3). Noah was 500 years old when his three sons were born (Gen. 5:32) and he was 600 years old when the flood came upon the earth (Gen. 7:6).

There actually are quite a few statements which show that, in spite of his infallible ministry as a prophet, he still remained a normal human being. For instance, as a man he said the following in his sermon “The Rapture”, referring to 1. Thess. 4, which speaks about the Return of Christ, our Lord, “… Three things that has to happen before the Lord Himself appears … a shout, a voice, a trumpet … Jesus does all three of them when He is descending …” Brother Branham obviously meant to say: These three things will happen when Jesus returns. “For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep. For the Lord Himself (not a message) shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we for ever be with the Lord.” (1. Thess. 4:15-17). This will happen on the same day, in the same hour, at the same moment. “Behold, I show you a mystery: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1. Cor. 15:51-52). Brother Branham very clearly stated, “A message comes forth first. Now is lamp-trimming time. Rise and trim your lamps …” That is not 1. Thess 4, that is Matthew 25, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.” Unintentional and incomplete statements are misused for the teaching that since the opening of the Seals Jesus has left the mercy seat, which has already changed into the judgement seat, and is in the process of descending. What a tragic reasoning and heresy!

Many more things should actually be dealt with, but I must stop here for now with the following declaration: During the first 14 years since 1966 there was a wonderful harmony within the fellowships of the message. In 1979 Satan tried to destroy the work of God and kill the influence of this ministry. From that time on, all the wrong teachings and all the various movements took their course. Most of the brethren today do not even know how the new beginning was 40 years ago and the continuation after the passing of Brother Branham. Brother Branham saw that the Bride fell out of step, but he also saw that the Bride was brought back into step with the Word once again.

As long as the sermons were left the way they are, there were no divisions. The splits only happened in the 1980’s, after the brothers gathered the quotes, taking them out of context, and introduced special doctrines with expectations that do not coincide with the Holy Scriptures. The Word takes us into the Promised Land, the interpretation into no man’s land. Looking at the situation now, we must admit that no human being, but only God can resolve the problems within the end-time message. They all say, “The elect cannot be deceived.” — even though they are deceived themselves and are deceiving others. Deception never comes from the outside, but rather from the inside (Acts 20:30) and it is amazingly close to the original. Special doctrines are being called revelations, but they are not confirmed by the written Word. We tragically find repeated in our midst what has already happened with all the denominations, which point to their “prophet” or “prophetess” or their founder. Their confession is, “We believe the Bible and our prophet!”

I say this again in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ: The correct standpoint is to respect God’s Word and to acknowledge Its sole validity. Just like every denomination misunderstood and misinterpreted one single Scripture that was especially important to them and whereupon they built their church and denomination, the same also happened within the message with Revelation, chapter 10. Every wrong teaching within the message of the hour came forth in one way or another because Revelation 10 was misunderstood, misinterpreted, taken out of context and incorrectly placed.

Brother Branham has reintroduced us to the basic and fundamental teachings of the Scriptures. They are in complete harmony with the entire Word of God. We do not believe blindly, but we search the Scriptures to verify whether things are so (Acts 17:11). We have to correctly place Brother Branham according to Malachi 4 as the promised prophet. He was the messenger for the last church age. Amen.

It is my desire to serve the Lord in such a way that all who are part of the Bride Church of Jesus Christ are brought into the unity of the faith. Forty years have passed since Brother Bran-ham was taken to glory and we are now expecting a turnabout — along with the mightiest work of God that ever happened on earth.

Job is an example for us in the Bible — he endured all things until he received a double portion of all that he once had. Satan had destroyed everything around him. Even his wife turned against him and said, “Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse God, and die.” (2:9). His closest friends rebuked him and did not believe him. But then came the moment when God Himself spoke to Job and that changed the entire situation. Job prayed for his friends and received twice as much as he had before (Job 42:10‑17). This experience is left unto us as a promise in connection with the early and the latter rain and also the final work of God before the Return of Christ. At the moment Job received the answer, everything that Mrs. Job and his friends had said was forgotten. That is how it will be in our case as well. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord … Ye have heard of the patience of Job …” (Jas. 5:7-11).

The second example is Joseph, who was thrown into the pit by his own brothers and who was unjustly imprisoned because of a woman — those were the valleys he had to go through before he could give out the food to his brothers during the time of the famine. He never made an allegation towards them, on the contrary, he said, “Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: For God did send me before you to preserve life … So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God …” (Gen. 45).

If it had not been for Job, we would never have known about the twofold restoration. If there would not have been a Joseph, we would not have an example for the giving-out of the food in the time of famine. If the ministry of John the Baptist would not have happened, the way of the Lord could not have been prepared. If there would have been no Apostle Paul, the gentile nations would have never heard the Gospel. If the ministry of William Branham would not have been, we would have no end-time message. And some say, if Brother Frank would not have received a direct commission, the world would have never come to know about the message. In all these cases we are not dealing with ministries in a local church, but rather with ministries that are directly connected to the realisation of the divine plan of Salvation.

In accordance with the Scripture quoted at the very beginning of this brochure, I have written this exposition with a good conscience. I sincerely wish that all would free themselves from any snare of the devil and no longer remain captive in the interpretations to do his will. As certain as the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and guides us into all truth (Jn. 16:13), there most certainly are seducing spirits in all the heretical doctrines which originate with devils (1. Tim. 4:1). The jubilee has come and divine liberty is being proclaimed for all (Lk. 4:17-21). Everyone can return to the Lord and to His Word and receive the promise according to the Will of God (Heb. 10:35-38).

By God’s grace I shall bear my cross — but no longer the weight of the misunderstandings and misinterpretations — until I receive the crown of life. I have to bear the reproach of Christ, the reproach of Brother Branham, and especially my own reproach until I shall reach Glory. It was not given to me to live above reproach, as was the case with most of God’s servants. That even increases my desire to serve God’s people with a faultless proclamation of God’s whole counsel. May God grant it until my last breath. Just as my Lord and Saviour said of Himself, “… for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice.” (Jn. 18:37), I, like every true servant of God, can say this, “I am born again by the same Word and the same Holy Spirit unto a living hope to testify about the truth.” I can say before God, as the Apostle John did, that no lie is of the truth (1. Jn. 2:21) and that, “… he that knoweth God heareth us … “ (1. Jn. 4:6). “… he that is of God heareth God’s words …” (Jn. 8:47). In the beginning was the Word — the same Word is now, at the end. Every interpretation is a poisoned illusion of the devil, who always presents himself as the angel of light.

What God has set out to do will come to pass with the Bride Church worldwide: She will come forth prepared to meet the Bridegroom when He comes. I claim before God every soul that was foreordained to be part of the Bride Church, and call the elect to come out of all confusion, to line up with the Word of God and to come into the unity of the faith. I declare that no man has the right to keep them captive in all the different camps any longer and therein enslave them to believe various interpretations, so that they forthwith may be free to believe only what the Scriptures say. Amen!

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely …

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Rev. 22:17-21).

With gratitude I look back at 54 years of preaching the Gospel and 42 years of being in the international ministry, during which I had the privilege to share the true Word through meetings and via radio and TV broadcasts with millions of people in over 130 countries. Perhaps it helped especially the brothers on the African continent that Brother Branham saw the German eagle flying through Africa. In every country, in every city I introduced the prophet, but I always preached Jesus Christ as Saviour, Who is the same yesterday, today, and for ever, and, of course, I faithfully only taught from the Word of God. I have never dealt with the controversial subjects in public, never mentioned a brother by name who propagates false teachings. However, since the glorification of a man has reached a magnitude that idolatry is being practised with the person of the prophet, with relics like pictures, crucifixes, pieces of fabric, and special sites like the grave, etc., that are being turned into places of pilgrimage, I have no choice but to speak up, whether my voice is going to be heard or not. The final push to deal with these much-debated issues was given to me by a parcel with four CDs and DVDs sent to me by a brother from the USA. It arrived just as I had finished answering these questions, a task I had actually hoped to avoid. The DVDs turned out to be yet further confirmation of the importance and urgency to show some of the controversial things in the light of the everlasting Word of God.

All that it seems to have come to is a Branham-centred message which is no longer in agreement with the everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is being heard over and over, “The Prophet said …”, “The Prophet told me …”, etc., etc. Jesus Christ is not mentioned by these people any more. He no longer has a part in what these brothers are sharing in their testimonies. The concern is the prophet and what he said, but what Jesus Christ said is not taken into consideration. Life stories, hunting stories, tent stories, airplane stories, and so on, are the contents of their testimonies and what Brother Branham said as a man is declared to be Thus saith the Lord. Is this not a complete deviation from the real Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, as it was preached by Paul (Gal. 1), a tragic apostasy that is leading to all kinds of idolatries?

Did he not say, “Eating a chicken you just put the bones aside.”? Precisely those minor things, which are beside the point, are being made the main issues — the “bones” of contention are fiercely being fought over. Today we have to ask, “Which message do you believe? What gospel do you preach?”

In the beginning was the Word, not the interpretation! In the beginning was the unity, not the divisions! A compromise or a commingling is not possible. In the very beginning God separated light from darkness. Thus it remains for ever.

By God’s grace I shall bear my cross — but no longer the weight of the misunderstandings and misinterpretations — until I receive the crown of life. I have to bear the reproach of Christ, the reproach of Brother Branham, and especially my own reproach until I shall reach Glory. It was not given to me to live above reproach, as was the case with most of God’s servants. That even increases my desire to serve God’s people with a faultless proclamation of God’s whole counsel. May God grant it until my last breath. Just as my Lord and Saviour said of Himself, “… for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice.” (Jn. 18:37), I, like every true servant of God, can say this, “I am born again by the same Word and the same Holy Spirit unto a living hope to testify about the truth.” I can say before God, as the Apostle John did, that no lie is of the truth (1. Jn. 2:21) and that, “… he that knoweth God heareth us … “ (1. Jn. 4:6). “… he that is of God heareth God’s words …” (Jn. 8:47). In the beginning was the Word — the same Word is now, at the end. Every interpretation is a poisoned illusion of the devil, who always presents himself as the angel of light.

What God has set out to do will come to pass with the Bride Church worldwide: She will come forth prepared to meet the Bridegroom when He comes. I claim before God every soul that was foreordained to be part of the Bride Church, and call the elect to come out of all confusion, to line up with the Word of God and to come into the unity of the faith. I declare that no man has the right to keep them captive in all the different camps any longer and therein enslave them to believe various interpretations, so that they forthwith may be free to believe only what the Scriptures say. Amen!

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely …

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Rev. 22:17-21).
