The message that William Branham proclaimed has brought the true children of God back to the original faith of the apostolic fathers.

The LORD God has kept watch over His everlasting Word. It must be said loudly and clearly: If we knew what God has done in the past but did not know what He has promised and is now doing before the Return of Jesus Christ, what good would that do us? There was a divine calling in our time as well; Brother Branham was able to bear witness to that again and again. Here is just one of his quotes about the event on June 11, 1933, in Jeffersonville: "I heard it say again, “Look up!” And when I looked, here come that same Pillar of Fire that led Israel through the wilderness. Thousands of eyes looking at it coming right down over where I was standing. And said, “As John the Baptist was sent forth to forerun the first coming of Christ, your Message shall cover the earth and forerun the Second Coming of Christ." (April 12, 1964).

This is exactly what happened all over the world after Brother Branham's passing; it has become a divine reality.

Already on June 12, 1958, Brother Branham told me in Dallas, Texas, "Brother Frank, you will return to Germany with this message."

It came to pass. God has done both: HE gave the commission to bring the message and also ensured that it was preached worldwide. Supernatural things happened in the life and ministry of William Branham, not only on June 11, 1933, when he administered his first baptism, but also in his meetings.

The Apostle Paul could testify that the light appeared to him when he received his calling. We are told in Acts 9: "And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, LORD? And the LORD said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest …" (vv. 3-5).

Paul testified before King Agrippa and the most distinguished ones of the people:

"Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And I said, Who art thou, LORD? And he

said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee …" (Acts 26:12-16).

Already in the Old Testament, the supernatural presence of God manifested Itself in a burning bush when Moses received his calling. Moses had to take off his shoes because he was standing on holy ground. There he was commissioned by God Himself (Ex 3).

In the Old Testament, the LORD God revealed Himself in the light of the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire.

In Exodus 13 we read: "And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night …" (v. 21). Isn't that wonderful? The LORD God not only brought His people out of bondage, out of Egypt, but went before His called-out, liberated people, with whom He had made the covenant. HE led and guided them and showed them the way day and night. During the entire forty years of their journey, He was with His people – in the supernatural pillar of cloud by day and in the supernatural pillar of fire at night. "He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people." (v. 22).

This is once again referenced in Psalm 78, verse 14: "In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire."

In Exodus 40 we read: "So Moses finished the work. Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. … For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night …" (vv. 33b-34+38).

When everything that the LORD had commanded Moses to do was accomplished, the supernatural glory of God came into the Most Holy Place, where the Ark of the Covenant was, and testified of God's presence among His people.

The supernatural cloud came down on the Mount of Transfiguration, "… and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear ye him." (Mk 9:7; Mat 17:5). In Isa 4:5 we read what happens when the LORD will have finished His Work on Mount Zion: Then the supernatural cloud will come down again, and the presence of God will appear visibly: "And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence." HE is always the same: yesterday, today, and forever.
