In various circular letters I have shown from the Scriptures that the Lord Himself will complete His unusual work (Isa 28:21). Whoever has read the sermons of Bro. Branham knows the great expectation he had to see the final demonstration of God’s power among God’s people. He states, “I saw it unfolding.” The Lord showed him what would take place at the end right before the Return of Jesus Christ, our Lord. He spoke about the “tent vision”, about the “third pull”. Most certainly the Lord will speak at that time and He will have those who pronounce what He spoke and it will happen before our very eyes. Mark 11:23 and John 14:12, both scriptures are in the plural and they can also not be broken.

God will once more move the heavens and the earth (Heb. 12:26-28). At that time the THUS SAITH THE LORD will take place, “And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth” (Hos. 2:21). “Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you” (Hab. 1:5).

Those who will participate in what God is going to do will not only hear about it, they will experience it. Before the rapture, outstanding things will happen within the members of the Bride. Thereby rapturing faith will rise very high. As Bro. Branham saw, there will be missing members of the body restored through direct creative miracles. That coincides precisely with the Holy Scriptures. At the Return of Jesus Christ will be fulfilled what Paul wrote by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. In 1. Thess. 4, he showed us the pattern of the Return of the Lord, and in chapter 5 towards the end he writes, “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” We believe that what God’s Word says here will become a reality during that time. Also the following verse is very comforting, “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”

Not only a few and, as some believe, just seven men will have a special ministry. No, the Lord Himself through the Holy Spirit will move all over the earth and will do the same things wherever those gather who are part of the Bride. Miracles will take place in soul, spirit and body. Many demons will be cast out from the believers who are motivated by evil spirits. Every soul will be delivered from the spiritual prison and taken out to enjoy the glorious liberty of the children of God. It will be as it was in the days of the apostles with Ananias and Sapphira. Nothing wrong will remain in the midst of God’s people. At that time, the Scripture will be fulfilled, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still” (Rev. 22:11). There will be no more false brethren, no false prophecies, no false doctrines during that short period of time within the members of the Bride. Before the total changing of the body of the believers, faith will rise very high by the things which will happen in body, spirit and soul at that time.

The things we expect and preach today will then happen. Because nobody knows exactly the sequence of the things we need to wait until God’s time comes. At that time, there will be a pleasant, a heavenly atmosphere in the midst of God’s people. Now we speak and preach about love and about the things which God should do. At that time we will live it and experience it by the grace of God.

Bro. Branham saw this final, mighty work of God and he brought it into connection with the seven thunders according to his expectation. He had already preached the seven Church ages, then he had the mighty experience of the appearing of the supernatural cloud, about which he said, “The reason that was such a tremendous thing, that He spoke of it here and showed those seven thunders and Look and Life magazin there, packed that circle of cloud of light…” Anyone knows that Science magazine on April, the 19^th, 1963, and Life magazine on May, the 17^th, 1963, did not report about any event connected to Rev. 10. What is the report dealing with? Bro. Branham speaks of it as the seven thunders, but refers to the supernatural light which appeared in the sky on Feb. the 28^th, 1963. He had seen a vision and heard a tremendous blast of seven successive thunder claps. Because of this tremendous experience he frequently connected it to the seven thunders.

He preached about the seals as they were divinely revealed to him, all the time expecting great things to take place. The only thing which according to his understanding remained were the seven thunders.

I’m acquainted with all the quotations he made about the seven thunders and I’m going to use the ones which fit best into the Bible pattern. “Let’s turn to Revelation 10 just a moment, so you’ll get an understanding before we get into it. Now, this is at the end-time, for listen: ‘And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, …’ If you’ll notice that’s Christ, because He in the Old Testament was called the Angel of the Covenant, and He’s directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished” (Seals, pg. 72). Nowhere is our Lord Jesus shown as the Angel of the Covenant or as the lion of the tribe of Judah in connection with the New Testament Church.

“And when the seals are broken and the mystery is revealed, down comes the Angel, the Messenger, Christ, setting His foot upon the land and upon the sea with a rainbow upon His head … And here He returns back in the 10th chapter after the coming time” (Seals, pg. 74-75). That fits perfectly into the time-table.

After William Branham made so many statements about the seven thunders, he says by divine revelation, “… no one would know His coming; they also would not know about this seven thunder mystery” (Seals, pg. 576). Of course this profound biblical statement is totally ignored by those who label any private interpretation as the revelation of the seven thunders. The fact that there are so many of them in existence proves in itself that they are all wrong. Whosoever speaks in the name of the Lord will be silent where the Bible is silent, and will only speak where the Bible speaks (1Cor. 4:6).

Without hesitation, I declare upon the authority of God’s holy Word that the seven thunders of Rev. 10 will utter their voices at the time when the Lord shall come down as the Angel of the Covenant and set one foot on the land and one on the sea “…and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices” (vs. 3). What the seven thunders uttered was not written and therefore did not become part of the Word of God which we should preach.

“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven. And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever…” (v. 5-6).

I further declare upon the authority of God’s holy Word that this event will take place according to Dan. 12:5-7 precisely three and a half years before the very end. “…he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.” The prophet Daniel saw the Angel raising both hands towards heaven and swearing by Him who liveth for ever; John saw the Angel holding the open book in one hand and raising the other one to heaven and swearing by Him that liveth for ever. It is just perfect, as perfect as it can be, because in the days of Daniel, the book was not yet in His hand. He is the original owner, He opened it in chapter 5, and in chapter 10 He comes down with the open book from heaven. It is just wonderful.

No one on earth is entitled to say something that is contrary to the clear statements of God’s holy Word, because the Holy Scriptures is also the final and the absolute in this point. All explanations, all interpretations, all revelations being called “the seven thunders” are herewith declared null and void in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In reference to the seventh seal, applies the same. I declare upon the authority of God’s holy Word, that at the realization of the seventh seal that which is written in Rev. 8 from verse 2 will be fulfilled. There will be about a half an hour of silence in heaven at the moment of the opening of the seventh seal, a holy hush will move through heaven. Verses 2 to 6 inform us precisely of what happens right in connection with the realization of the seventh seal.

Anyone who reads the text will notice, at that time the last prayers of the saints – the elect from the Jews (Dan. 7:18; 7:25; 7:27; Rev. 13:7; 14:12) – will have come before God on the golden altar. Then the censers in which the prayers were brought before God will be filled with fire from the altar and cast upon the earth. The description is very clear. At that time, the mercy seat changes into the judgment seat, for then also the election of the Jews is completed.

Finally I declare that the unchanging God does all things according to the same pattern from the first to the seventh seal inclusive. Anyone who wishes to be informed of what happens in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth seal does not stop by reading only the respective first verse of the seal. No, we continue to read the whole content pertaining to the seal. I find no explanation as to say that Satan, the master-deceiver, has put a veil upon the people to hide this simple truth and deceive them into so-called special revelations etc. Please don’t stop by reading Rev. 8:1, but continue to read in order to find out and to know what will happen at the time of the fulfillment of the seventh seal. Every other explanation, interpretation or revelation called or named “the revelation of the seventh seal” I declare herewith null and void.

The way in which Rev. 10:1-6 will literally be fulfilled in the successive order at the appointed time as described in the Scriptures, the same way applies for the seventh seal. John declared, “And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets…” I believe, what John saw will take place. If anybody sees something else in connection with the seventh seal, he is simply not right, because John saw the right things. If someone adds something to the Scriptures through his own interpretations, he must be aware of the consequences. It seems that the fear of God has left the people. They simply don’t know what they are talking about. People of God, return to the Lord and to the simplicity of His holy Word!
