I consider it necessary to make the following comment at the end of my brief remarks: Unjustifiably, William Branham is accused of many things that he did not say, including a statement that actually comes from Dr. Lee Vayle in his version. The aforementioned author wrote a pamphlet entitled "The Laodicean Church Age" and writes there on page 7: "So I repeat, I sincerely believe and maintain as a private student of the Word, along with divine inspiration that 1977 ought to terminate the world systems and usher in the millennium." Exactly the same wording is found in the book by William Branham "An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages" on page 322, which Lee Vayle edited. Unfortunately also in all the translations in the various languages. So it is completely wrong for anyone to claim, on the basis of this quotation, that it was William Branham who made a prediction which did not come true, namely that the worldly systems would end with the year 1977 and the Millennium would be ushered in. William Branham never said that. This human failure is clearly the fault of Dr Lee Vayle.

I do not want to give further explanations here. In any case, however, it must be pointed out that even now there are various groups who refer to Branham without their proclamation being in agreement with his and with the Holy Scriptures. May the Lord lead His people on the right road for the sake of His name and let us know the promises for this time and share in their fulfilment. May He complete His work with all those who believe and trust in Him. May the Lord make His face to shine upon us and be gracious to us. May the Lord lift up His face upon us and grant us His peace.

I hope to have served many with this explanation. God the Lord has always done what He set out to do. He took whom He wanted and is not accountable to any human being. Blessed are all those who recognise the work of God, which is always in connection with His plan of salvation, in their time, accept it and thus place themselves directly and consciously on God's side. It can be said with certainty that we are now living at the end of the time of grace and that the return of Jesus Christ is really near. The signs of the end times are clearly recognised by all Bible-believing Christians. We may lift up our heads because we know that our redemption is drawing near. May the biblical message entrusted to us serve to call all true believers out of all error and experience their preparation for the glorious day of the return of Jesus Christ.

"And this message of salvation from the kingdom will be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then the end will come" (Matth. 24:14).

"Take heed that ye reject not him that speaketh. For if those who rejected him who made himself known to them on earth did not go unpunished, how much less will we escape if we turn away from him who speaks from heaven" (Heb 12:25).
