The last message is now being proclaimed to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith. As Paul documented it in Rom. 1:1-7, this takes place on the foundation of the prophetic Scriptures. “We have also a more sure word of prophecy …” and no private interpretation is permitted. It is how Peter explained it in his text in which he focused on the Return of Christ (2. Pet. 1:16-21).

Prior to that, the special promise from Mal. 4:5 is fulfilled: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.” This was confirmed by our LORD, and at the same time He emphasized what would thereby take place: “… and restore all things.” (Mat. 17:11; Mk. 9:12). Here we have a double THUS SAITH THE LORD, confirmed by Matthew and Mark. Also this promise is not yes and no, but yes and Amen! However, only those who believe according to the Scripture will receive the revelation thereof, only they will have a part in the fulfilment. What Paul wrote back then is still valid today: “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” (Rom. 11:5).

Time and again we have called attention to the statements in which Brother Branham quotes the exact wording the way it was addressed to him on June 11, 1933, from the lips of the LORD, namely that the message would forerun the second coming of Christ. It was the mighty experience linked to his commission, and it is in direct connection with the plan of Salvation and with the Return of Christ. This Scripture is still valid: “Surely the LORD GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7).

The same Prophet Malachi who prophesied of the preparer of the way, John the Baptist (3:1), also prophesied of the last prophet who would come on the scene at the end of the day of salvation, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes (4:5-6). This is powerful, and our LORD Himself confi rmed it. This promise is yes and Amen as well.

God has taken home His messengers whom He sent in the Old and in the New Testament, but their testimony and their message are left unto us in the Bible. Brother Branham also has fulfi lled his commission in accordance with his divine calling, and everything that God had to say to us has been revealed. From a human point of view, he was recalled suddenly and unexpectedly, just like John the Baptist, but the work which he had to do was completed. The revealed Word, including the mysteries of the Kingdom of God and the opening of the seals, is left unto us. And even after Brother Branham’s departure, the whole counsel of God is being carried on without interruption as the divine message of salvation because of a direct commission. The proclamation includes the evangelistic part as well as the teaching and the prophetic part. Seen from this perspective, the “Full Gospel” of Jesus Christ is now being preached as the last message before the Return of Christ unto all nations for a witness (Mat. 24:14).

It is a wake-up call that is addressed to all of the virgins who are waiting for the coming of the Bridegroom: “Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.” It is the calling out: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing …” (Isa. 52:11; 2. Cor. 6:17-18). Still, only the wise virgins believe this last message in a crystal-clear way, without adding even the slightest interpretation. They are the only ones who believe all things as they are recorded in the Scripture. By divine revelation they are led into the fulfilment. They will be ready and will go with the Bridegroom to the marriage supper (Mat. 25:10).
