The single most important thing for the true believers in our time is that God Himself saw to it that now, at the end of the time of grace of the New Testament Church, everything that is part of the Plan of Salvation is included in the proclamation. It is of no benefit to anyone to just speak, preach, or write of what happened at the time of Noah, Moses, Joshua, Elijah, John the Baptist, and in the days of Jesus and the apostles if we do not have the grace to recognize what God is presently doing according to His Word.

At the very beginning, the Church was under the direct leadership of the Holy Spirit. All of the believers were filled with the Spirit and led by the Spirit; they were truly one heart and one soul.

Then there were factions; false brethren arose with false doctrines, and eventually this led to divisions. Even back in his days, the Apostle Paul wrote: “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.” (Rom. 16:17).

This pattern continued: By the time of the Council of Nicaea in the year 325, there were already 128 different orientations – today the World Council of Churches is comprised of 347 Protestant churches and Christian associations. Even within the message of the hour there are different groups, although there is only one God, only one Bible, and only one Church. However, time and again somebody arises with special revelations and draws in disciples to follow him.

This situation must and will come to an end everywhere with all those who are part of the Bride Church. In the short and very last phase, the true believers will once again be one heart and one soul. At that time, the work of God will not be connected to a man, but to God Himself, and the time of the deception and misleading of the believers who are part of the Bride Church will then be over forever.

That we are now living in the final stages of the end time, in fact just before the Return of Jesus Christ, can be recognized and proven by the signs of the time, which our LORD foretold in Mat. 24, in Mk. 13, and in Lk. 21. At the same time, He encouraged us to lift up our heads for our redemption is drawing near. In this exposition we are concerned with the main promise of what has to take place with the Church before the Return of Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:12). In Acts 3 we read about the restoration of all things. “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the LORD; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” (vv. 19-21).

Christ is waiting in heaven until everything within His Church is restored to its original condition. We have already mentioned the promise which was confirmed by our LORD. The Prophet Elijah was the best example; God used him to turn Israel back to the LORD. Then it was John the Baptist, who could present a well-prepared people unto the LORD at His first coming (Lk. 1:16-17). In our time, He used the simple man of God William Branham, who indeed received a direct commission. The religious leaders say, “That is typical; all sects follow a self-appointed prophet or prophetess.”

In this case, however, it is entirely different: We are not a sect; we follow no man and no prophet; we follow Jesus Christ, but we cannot bypass what God has promised and also fulfilled. Likewise, the believers in the Early Church were not followers of Peter and Paul, but followers of Christ. Yet they obeyed what the apostles taught in the Name of the LORD. There was a heavenly calling and commission in the life of William Branham, which we have set forth conclusively in various publications. As we all know, the LORD called the following words out to him from the same supernatural light, which Paul had seen back then as well, when he was baptizing believers in the Ohio River on June 11, 1933: “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so the message that is given to you will forerun the second coming of Christ.” That is THUS SAITH THE LORD.

Paul gave an account of his commission and conversion: “And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.” (Acts 22:9). On June 11, 1933, about four thousand people who were standing on the banks of the Ohio River saw the supernatural light that descended upon Brother Branham – the Associated Press reported on it in the USA and Canada – but the voice and the words spoken, as quoted above, were only addressed to Brother Branham. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!

As we have seen, God has called and sent His prophets and apostles at all times. After a thousand years of the terrible dark ages, John Wycliffe in England came forward and proclaimed loudly, “Only what is written in the Bible is biblical.” Jan Hus in Prague was captured by the same zealousness for the truth, as well as Martin Luther, Huldreich Zwingli, Jean Calvin, and others. Then came John Wesley, whose proclamation brought forth the Methodists, in the next revival William Booth (Salvation Army) spoke up, followed by Menno Simon (Mennonites), John Smith (Baptists), and finally Zinzendorf, Moody, Finney, Charles Price, and Georg Müller. The list could be continued.

At the beginning of the 20th century came the breakthrough of the Pentecostal movement with the restoration of the gifts of the Spirit. After World War II, William Branham came on the scene, initially as an evangelist with a special gift of healing. The LORD Himself sent him and confirmed the proclamation of the original Gospel in an unprecedented way before hundreds of thousands of people. After a supernatural experience on May 7, 1946, when he received specific instructions for his ministry by a heavenly messenger, Brother Branham, who had first been ordained in a Baptist Church, started preaching in interdenominational meetings to bring the biblical message to the people of God. His ministry brought about the restoration of all the things that had originally been in the Church but were lost over time.

The divine, the original message foreruns the second coming of Christ, which is now imminent. All biblical doctrines about Godhead, water baptism, LORD’s Supper, etc., essentially everything was brought back to the beginning by his proclamation. If we knew only what happened two thousand years ago, and not what has to take place today according to the divine Plan of Salvation, then we would deserve to be pitied. What has to happen first, before the Return of Christ, is the calling out of each individual who is part of the Bride Church from all religious bondage and from the Babylonian confusion that is prevalent in all of the denominations. The following Scripture from 2. Cor. 6:17-18 has to be taken very seriously: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the LORD Almighty.”

As certain as God made sure that all who were part of His people returned from the Babylonian captivity to Jerusalem, there is also no doubt that all of the true believers will now return to Jerusalem in the Spirit – back to the beginning. Just as the temple was rebuilt in its original location back then and all vessels were returned from Babylon, so shall it be with the New Testament Church at the end: The pure doctrine and original practice has to be restored to the Church of Jesus Christ. And everything that was not in the Church at the beginning may absolutely not be in her now.

The appeal is now being made: “Gather the people, sanctify the congregation …” (Joel 2:16).

This is the hour of the most important decision for all those who are part of the Church of Jesus Christ, namely to come out of all things that do not originate from God and to enter through the Holy Spirit into all that is from God. The last call is going forth: “Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.”

Paul wanted to present a chaste virgin unto Christ (2. Cor. 11:2). This must and will in all reality take place now. The heavenly Bridegroom will not come to fetch a religious harlot, but the wise virgins who make up His Bride (Mat. 25:1-10). “… and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.” (Mat. 25:10). This is the most important time period in the history of mankind and of the Church: The true, everlasting Gospel of the kingdom of God is now being preached to all nations for a witness (Mat. 24:14), and everyone has to make his decision.

It is true, and it shall stay true: “… so the message that is given to you will be a forerunner of the second coming of Christ.” The LORD has taken home the messenger, like He did with all of the prophets and apostles, but the message is left unto us, and that is what we carry into the entire world.

There will be unprecedented meetings. But we must heed this admonition: “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the LORD. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain.” (Jas. 5:7).

“For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” (Heb. 10:36).

“The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Hag. 2:9).

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Zec. 4:6).

“For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth.” (Rom. 9:28).

The last call, the last message is: Back to God! Back to the Word! Back to the beginning! Everything has to be experienced by every single believer individually, as it was at the beginning. The same ministries, the same gifts of the Spirit – in the end everything will be as it was at the beginning. Only when every member of the body of Christ fully submits to the Head can the perfect Will of God finally take place. The culmination will be the complete restoration and ultimately the Return of Christ, which we can count on in our time. Of course, only God Alone knows the day and the hour. However, the signs of the time indicate that it is imminent.

“For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first …” (1. Ths. 4:15-16).

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew 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 trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1. Cor. 15:50-54).

As a preacher and servant of the LORD, I have only one obligation, and it is to carry out the commission “to preach the Word and to give out the spiritual food” (2. Tim. 4:1-5; Mat. 24:45-47), which the risen LORD gave me with an audible, all-penetrating voice on April 2, 1962, just at the dawning of a new day. I am writing as someone who has personally experienced the grace of God, who knew Brother Branham personally for ten years, and who participated in his meetings in Europe and in the USA. I am an eye and ear witness of what God has done in our time. I have experienced the days of the Bible.

I have obeyed the heavenly calling in the past 49 years and have preached the Word in 155 countries. I have done all things according to the LORD’s command, even followed the instruction not to establish any local churches and not to publish a hymnbook, for those are indeed the tell-tale indicators of a denomination. Each local church is sovereign. Paul already said it back then; the proclamation is now being brought to a close: “Notwithstanding the LORD stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear …” (2. Tim. 4:17). Along with Peter, I can say in all truthfulness: “But the word of the LORD endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” (1. Pt. 1:25).

After all, it is about the everlasting Word, which is the divine seed: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” (1. Pt. 1:23).

The Church that is built by Christ is not a web of lies, but the pillar and the foundation of the truth itself. ”But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” (1. Tim. 3:15).

“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The LORD knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” (2. Tim. 2:19).

THUS SAITH THE LORD: “Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.” (Isa. 28:17).

The moment of truth has arrived: Only God’s Word is the truth. The only valid guideline for the true believers of the Bible is what is being taught and practised in the Holy Scripture. Compromises and private interpretations are not permitted. The fact remains that no lie is of the truth.

“… let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.” (Rom. 3:4).

Just as it was in the beginning, the true children of God are now being called out and baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit (1. Cor. 12:12-13) so that at the end it truly is as it was at the beginning:

“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” (Acts 2:42).

The “Carmel hour” will reveal it. The hearts of the true believers are being turned back to God and His Word. This will be the crowned conclusion – the result of the last message in our time.

THUS SAITH THE LORD to His Own: “He that hath an ear, let him hear!”

“But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.” (Mat. 13:16).

“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.” (1. Ths. 5:23).

May the LORD richly bless all of you who stand behind this ministry with your prayers and gifts and support the worldwide missionary work. May He receive His rightful glory with all of us and finish His work in us and with us.

The single most important thing for the true believers in our time is that God Himself saw to it that now, at the end of the time of grace of the New Testament Church, everything that is part of the Plan of Salvation is included in the proclamation. It is of no benefit to anyone to just speak, preach, or write of what happened at the time of Noah, Moses, Joshua, Elijah, John the Baptist, and in the days of Jesus and the apostles if we do not have the grace to recognize what God is presently doing according to His Word.
