“I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.” (1. Jn. 2:21).

The time has come for the judgment to commence in the House of God. In His Church, God separates light from darkness and truth from lie. The forgeries and misguidance have gotten out of hand. First, we shall address the forgery that was formulated regarding the sending before the second coming of Christ.

What did the voice from the supernatural light really say to Brother Branham on June 11, 1933? In his testimony in San Juan on February 10, 1960, Brother Branham stated, “All -- many peoples up and down the banks of the river ... Newspaper photographers ... And then It said again, ‘Look up.’ And I looked up, and as I looked up, here come that Light coming down. People begin fainting, falling, and a Voice came that shook all around the place there, said, ‘As John, the Baptist, was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, the message that is given you will be a forerunning of the second coming of Christ.’ Not that I would be a forerunner, but the message was the forerunning.”

In at least sixteen different sermons, Brother Branham himself emphasized that the message would forerun the second coming of Christ. In the quote cited above, he placed special emphasis on the fact that not he but the message would be the forerunner. Therefore, the sentence came from his lips once again: “Not that I would be a forerunner, but the message was the forerunning.”

In the forged version it states: “As John was sent to forerun the first coming of the Lord, so you are sent to forerun His second coming.” Here it no longer refers to a message, but all of the attention is placed solely upon the person of Brother Branham. Consequently, the claim is made that everything came to its end with his ministry.

The falsified version is not only written in the book “The Acts of the Prophet,” but was even engraved into the front door of the house that was built for Brother Branham in Tucson; however, it was not completed until he had already gone home to glory.

There is also an inscription of this forged version engraved into his gravestone pyramid.

I could not in good conscience translate the book “The Acts of the Prophet,” mainly because of this quote and other inconsistencies in the text. However, other people were found for that task, and thus it was published in several languages.

In all of the authentic statements by Brother Branham (there are at least 16 of them), we find the word “message.” And the part upon which God placed the actual importance is missing in the forgeries mentioned above. How often did Brother Branham emphasize that with Eve it was only on account of a single word that the enemy succeeded in seducing her! Just as in this case, the omission of the single most important word “message” led to the falsification of the actual meaning. It is so very fateful because all the other forgeries and misguidance originate therein. It even states in the said book: “Some believe that the voice said, ‘Your message will forerun His coming.’ ” Yet, we not only believe it, we also have irrefutable evidence.

The serious question has to be posed: Which is the actual truth – what the supernatural voice said from heaven and what Brother Branham recited with exceptional accuracy, or what was written in a book, on a front door, and on the gravestone pyramid and has subsequently been spread throughout the entire world?

What is valid?

That, what God promised!

That, what the Lord said on June 11, 1933!

That, what Brother Branham confirmed at least sixteen times!

That, what the Lord said on April 2, 1962!

That, what Brother Branham confirmed on December 3, 1962!

That, what the Lord said on September 19, 1976!

That, what has actually been happening worldwide since 1966!

The claim that Brother Branham himself supposedly was the forerunner of the coming of Christ and that the matter is thereby settled is, simply put, misleading and a deliberate lie. On his seven “trips around the world,” as he called them, he only visited twelve countries, and in nine of them he had exclusively evangelistic meetings. After the opening of the Seals in March 1963, the concern was about his doctrinal sermons being recorded on tape, whereby the spiritual food was put in storage, as the Lord had commanded him to do – and me as well – just as he said it in his sermon on April 1, 1962, and just as I was commanded by the Lord on April 2, 1962. Only after he went home to glory was the divine message carried unto the ends of the earth, and it is being served as the spiritual food unto God’s people on the well-prepared table of the Lord.

We see clearly that not “Brother Branham,” but “the message entrusted to him” is forerunning the second coming of Christ. He fulfilled his task as the promised prophet and brought the message through which all things within the Church were restored. Since his departure, 44 years have passed and the Lord has not yet come. The purely biblical message, however, is still going forth, and it shall continue to do so until the Bridegroom comes and takes His Bride home.

Brother Branham once asked, “What is the message?” He immediately gave the answer: “The message is: ‘Back to the Word! Back to the doctrine of the apostles! Back to the beginning!’ ” Whoever carries the veracity of Christ within himself will neither introduce a forgery nor tolerate any falsification. Therefore, nothing may be added to the written, promised, and revealed Word. Everything that Brother Branham taught is scriptural. It just has to be placed correctly within the Scripture. Often enough, he repeated the warning from Rev. 22 that no one may add or take away from the Word.

The many false doctrines are all the more incomprehensible when they come up in the circles of those who refer to Brother Branham. Do the brothers who are under the wrong influence not know that they subject themselves to the curse when they propagate a completely different gospel (Gal. 1:6-9)? The sending of strong delusion is only possible where the truth is rejected and the Bible is literally put aside with irreverence (2. Tim. 4; a. o.). Every biblical teaching is clear, true, and makes sense; every false doctrine is absurd and contrary to a sound mind.

Now the light is being separated from the darkness for the ones who are truly called out (2. Cor. 6:14-18). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and leads into the Word of Truth (Jn. 16:13). “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).

It has to be said with all clarity: As John the Baptist and all men of God completed their ministry, that is how it was with Brother Branham as well. He carried out everything that belonged to his commission one hundred percent. What is now being done with his person is a cult based on a man, and false hopes are being nurtured. We do not need any new books about his life story, nor do we need brothers who cut his suits into little pieces of cloth and bring them to Poland or elsewhere, or someone who claims that Brother Branham supposedly prayed over entire rolls of fabric, tablecloths, and bed linens in November 1965. It is quite odd that he would not remember this until January 2000, more than thirty years later. The pieces of fabric derived therefrom were taken to Haiti, and behold, there was great enthusiasm! All this is the work of the spirit of deception.

Then where is it written that after the departure of Paul his aprons and handkerchiefs were distributed? It is the same spirit if idolatry that God repeatedly had complained about with His people Israel; it is a cult built around a man, and those are false doctrines unlike any previously known. We would have never known that Peter was married if the Lord had not healed his mother-in-law from the fever. What is the difference between all the items of Brother Branham that were made into relics and the relics that are worshipped in all the places of pilgrimage of the Roman Catholic Church? What do such personal things have to do with the divine message, with the everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is now being preached as a witness to all nations? Absolutely nothing! It is idolatry.

We cannot and will not go into detail with all of the unscriptural teachings, namely that the Lord has already come, that seven special men shall appear, that an eighth messenger has to come, that Rev. 10 has already been fulfilled, or with all the parousia and thunder doctrines, etc. Nevertheless, it has to be said very clearly one more time: Only when there is a promise in the Holy Scripture, then there is also a fulfillment! Whatever is not biblical is unbiblical, and what is not true is a lie. The true faith of the true children of God is anchored in the true Word. The Bride Church will be in complete harmony with the Word, for she is a part of the Bridegroom in Whom the Word became flesh. The bride must be joined with the bridegroom, not with the friend of the bridegroom. The friend rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice, but the bride hears it (Jn 3:29). It must be achieved to join God with us and us with God (Rev. 19:7).

With agony of soul it has to be said: The most misleading doctrine sadly comes from Jeffersonville. It is the claim that the voice of the seventh angel in Rev. 10:7 is the Voice of God. It further led to the assertion that everybody needs to hear the original voice of Brother Branham. For that reason, “Spoken Word Publications” was renamed “Voice of God Recordings.”

It is quite unbelievable: When a sermon is translated into other languages, the original voice has to be audible as well, for it is said to be the direct Voice of God! Now one group listens to the translation of this brother, the next group to another brother, and the third group to yet another brother, always with the voice of Brother Branham in the background. The various groups have no fellowship with one another, and they come to completely different conclusions while listening to their translations. One could ask how this is possible, since they are all hearing the “Voice of God.”

Paul would ask again today, “Who has bewitched you?” How else is it possible that these brothers do not notice that Rev. 10:7 does not talk about the Voice of God at all, but instead about the voice of the seventh trumpet angel. No angel in heaven and no messenger of God on earth has the right to change the Mystery of God in Rev. 10:7 into the mysteries. It was Brother Branham’s commission as the last church age messenger to reveal all the mysteries pertaining to the Counsel of God by way of his teaching ministry. It is during the voice of the seventh trumpet angel that the “Mystery of God” will be finished. Amen!

Under the guidance of the Holy Ghost, the Apostle Peter referred to the “dreadful” Day of the Lord (Mal. 4:5) as the “great and notable” Day of the Lord (Acts 2:20). Paul associated the thought of the great day with the Church and described it as the glorious day of the Return of Jesus Christ: “Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1. Cor. 1:8; 2. Cor. 1:4; Phi. 1:6-11). Paul called out to the true believers: “Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” (Phi. 2:16). However, these remarks about the glorious Day of Christ have not invalidated the significance of the “dreadful Day of the Lord,” in which the earth shall be burned up (2. Pt. 3:10). Likewise, Brother Branham did not annul the fulfillment of Rev. 10 through his ministry. Again and again, we see that it is of utmost importance to place all things correctly, especially biblical prophecy, which can have a twofold meaning and fulfillment. Then there is no contradiction, only harmony.

However, this is only discerned by the elect, for they cannot be deceived because they only believe what the Holy Scripture says; all the others will believe what they want anyway. I have a direct responsibility before God for the Bride Church in this time, which has to be a Word-Bride. The Holy Scripture tells us precisely where the seven messages to the seven churches are written, where the seven trumpet angels are to be placed, where the seven angels with the vials of the wrath of God will fulfil their tasks, etc.

“I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.” (1. Jn. 2:21).
