In reference to the combine, I once again testify before God: I saw a very large, overripe wheat field, which had already been scorched by the sun. The next moment I saw a brand-new combine to my left. A mighty voice said, “My servant, the combine is destined for you to bring in the harvest …” As I walked towards the combine, I looked up to my right and saw the heavens turning dark. Fear came over me, as though a terrible catastrophe would strike the earth. Then I said, “Dear LORD, it is too late to bring in the harvest, the judgements are ready to fall.” In the next instant I saw a large opening in the clouds and the sun was shining down much brighter than usual. Then the LORD spoke again with a commanding voice, “My servant, bring in the harvest!” Immediately I saw myself climbing up the combine and set the same in motion, starting at the left side of the wheat field. When I had finished the last row, the opening closed, darkness set in, thunder claps began to sound and lightning crossed the sky. It was a doomsday’s atmosphere, but the harvest was brought in.

Brother Branham speaks several times about the combine in connection with the harvest, and always in a positive sense. Once again it is a single statement in the English manuscript that the enemy misused to put a negative spin on the matter, because of wrong punctuation. This is the statement as it is in the sermon “Harvest time”, Phoenix, December 12th, 1964:

“I hear the coming of the combine, the World Council She’ll separate it.”

“I hear the coming of the combine. The World Council, she’ll separate it.” That is the statement as it should be.

On account of the incorrect punctuation, with ill motives the interpretation is being passed on that the man on the combine is the antichrist and the deceiver of the Bride. The one who was mainly used to sow the seed of the revealed Word and who has a large part in the collection of the harvest is declared to be the antichrist, with whom no one should fellowship, as he is the deceiver in the service of the World Council of Churches. Such a deception is not to be ascribed to any woman or man; it is a direct work of Satan. How many times did we hear Brother Branham say, it only took one word being added in the Garden of Eden to cause the fall to happen! What Satan so cunningly presented to Eve seemed very enlightening, but was the deadly bite of the poisonous snake. The mother of all the living caused the death of all the living because she opened herself to the influence of Satan. May the LORD God grant grace, that the eyes and hearts of all those who are ordained to eternal life might be opened, so they would be placed under the direct influence of God and disconnect themselves from anything and everything that Satan has said and done. There is only one remedy: Just as those who were bitten by the serpents had to look at the brazen serpent, likewise now all those who have been bitten must look upon Jesus Christ, Who bruised the Serpent’s head. Only then will all true believers be united with God, and nothing can separate us from the love of God as well as from each other.

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

In spite of all destructive manoeuvres of the enemy, God’s end-time plan will take its course right to the completion — the ministry of Brother Branham with the calling-out and also the continuation with the going-in. For God and those truly born-again, everything the messenger was entrusted with is valid, including everything that was to be preached through the message which precedes the second coming of Christ. Gifts and callings are without repentance. What God says shall be for ever established. According to Rom. 9, extraordinary things will take place. “For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth.” This is in agreement with Hag. 2. The LORD God will shake the heaven and the earth once again. We also find this promise in Heb. 12:26, “Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.”

Brother Branham mentioned the spoken word ministry, which will have to happen before we are taken to Glory. All who claim to believe God’s message should take this to heart: Those who want to partake in the last move of the Holy Spirit have to first find their place in God’s Kingdom. If someone should be of the opinion that all the various groups, who rival each other and are divided into many different camps, will all make it into the rapture, that individual should realise that this is the biggest self-deception a human being can fall prey to. As it was at the very beginning in apostolic days, the Church of the LORD Jesus Christ will be one heart and one soul. The first love will be manifested as the true fruit of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the believers, for only perfect love enters there. Everything must be restored and brought back into the original state. Only then shall we have part in what God does through the promised ministry.

The end-time message now reaches the ends of the earth. The Bride Church is being called out and prepared to meet the heavenly Bridegroom on that glorious day of His Return. By the unadulterated Word of God, the Bride is brought back into step and placed back under God’s influence. All who believe the message of the hour may lift up their heads, for our redemption is drawing near. The calling-out and the time of the temptations are followed by the going-in. We believe that all who were misled but are true children of God will come to know the truth and line up with the plan of Salvation.

Whoever found grace with God will be thankful for the calling-out, will weather all the temptations we encounter through the walk in the wilderness, and, by God’s grace, will be found in obedience and faith and thereby be ready to partake in what God does according to His promised Word. Our calling-out and all the supernatural workings of God in the past will only be crowned with success if we are now walking into the fulfilment of the promised Word. We have to take part in what God is presently doing, right until the return of Christ, when we shall come from believing to seeing.
