Every prophecy contained in God’s holy Word must be fulfilled, regardless of the realm it’s assigned to. I. Tim. 4 is no exception, “ … in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron…“ The list of the false teachings could be continued. All those who have come up with their own interpretations are not preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the power of God. Therefore Gal. 1:8, which Paul wrote by inspiration and Brother Branham referred to many times, applies. I challenge every one of them. Nothing stands the Word test. Certainly not, and therefore all these things are under a curse. When Brother Branham was taken beyond the curtain of time into paradise, he saw a great multitude dressed in white, who came to the Lord through his ministry. The One who spoke to him said, that he will be judged before those he preached to, and he asked if Paul will also be judged. The answer was, “He’ll have to be judged with his.” So Brother Branham’s reply was, “I’ve preached exactly the same Word, I taught the same things Paul did, and baptized the same way.” This mighty host shouted, “We’re resting on that.”

My dear friends, what will happen to all of you who are listening to all kinds of teachings which have nothing to do with the original Word of God — the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Many have misconstrued the statements which were taken out of context from the sermons and made their own messages. This need not surprise us, for in apostolic days Scriptures there were those who wrested the words of Paul and the other Scriptures (II. Pet. 3:15-16; Acts 20:29-31).

God’s Word alone is the original seed, and God has sent His servant and prophet for the greatest purpose of all times to bring forth that Word of God which needs to be received with a believing heart and will bring forth after its own kind. I was acquainted directly with the ministry of Brother Branham from 1955-65 and have on file 25 letters from Brother Branham or his office, the first dated 11^th November 1958, the last 30^th September 1965, I am burdened and also responsible before God to emphasize the importance of the original unfailing Word and the promises pertaining to our time.

All the developments of which only some were mentioned bring division among believers and reproach upon the Lord, His Word and His messenger. Perhaps to comfort me in my distress, God, by His grace, has recently drawn my attention to three experiences which I had. Strange or not, maybe divinely appointed, Brother Branham had the same and spoke of them. The day he laid the cornerstone, he saw a vision and was told three times, “When you come out of the vision, read II. Timothy 4.” When I was ministering in Marseille, France, in 1970 I heard the audible voice of the Lord, “Rise and read II. Timothy 4.” I just lingered for a moment, and the voice repeated even louder, “Rise and read II. Timothy 4.” After reading the first five verses, I started again. As I came to the first part of verse 2, “Preach the Word…“, I stopped, laid my Bible on the table, raised my hands to God and said these words, “Lord, only that which is written as the Word can be preached. Those things which are not written will never be preached.” When I looked at my watch, it was 4.55 a.m. I got the answer right then, that whatever the voices of the seven thunders uttered will never be preached, because it was not written. Therefore it has not become part of the Word of God which should be preached. Those things the seven voices uttered will happen in God’s own time without anybody ever talking about it. That is THUS SAITH THE LORD by the authority of His own Word.

Compare this with Rev. 1:3, “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand.” It cannot be made any clearer: we are to read and to hear and to keep those words of the prophecy WHICH ARE WRITTEN. Also in the last chapter our Lord says, “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.” Whether anyone believes it or not, this is precisely what is going to happen. All who add to the written Word of this book of prophecy will go into the great tribulation. The plagues which are mentioned in Revelation will fall upon them. This is again THUS SAITH THE LORD. Please don’t take it lightly, it will become a bitter reality.

The second experience I wish to mention is about the storing of the food. The Lord told Brother Branham to store the food. There were at least ten occasions when he referred to it. The Lord used the same words to tell me about the storing of the food just before sun rise on 2nd April 1962. The two brethren are still alive who were sitting on the back seat, when Brother Branham came to pick me up with his own car. Later they were sitting opposite each other across the table and I sat opposite Brother Branham, when he told me what the Lord had spoken to me. As you may already know, he gave me the answer and told me what was revealed to him.

Some of you have heard of my experience which took place on 1st January 1981. With a great multitude of people dressed in white, I was taken up in the air. I saw those who were near to me and also all the others dressed alike. All were young, all had a glorified expression of joy on their faces, the sisters had long hair which was hanging open, and the brothers had short hair, no one had a beard. But what surprised me so much was that everyone had the natural hair colour. It was quite a sight to behold. Actually, I did not want to mention this detail about all the different hair colours when I first related the experience. Only after reading in the Seven Seals Book, I noticed that Brother Branham mentioned the same thing after he saw those who were in glory (Page 380). I am not looking for experiences, my only desire is to be found in Christ — the Word. But as we read the Bible, we do find that all who received the Word also had most marvellous experiences, and so did Brother Branham.

It is very important that God’s Word as the original seed is not mixed with any interpretation. Because at all other times the lives and the ministries of those whom God had called were ordained of God, so I do believe with all my heart that the present time is no exception. You might hear all kinds of stories and rumours about a servant of God, but you will never hear that he left the Word of God and followed some interpretation. The one who is called to the ministry is duty-bound to the Word of God.

As it has been in the past, so will it be in the future. Those who come up with predictions will find new ones without apologizing for those which did not materialize and will continue to go from one error to the next. I believe that after 1984 ends many of those who were innocently pulled into some of these various strange teachings will come back to believe the Word of God. The folly of the Jannes and Jambres will be made known to all (II. Tim. 3). The shock will come. Sometimes we need disappointments to sober up. God will only permit those things to happen which are helpful and not harmful to His elect.

The past year 1983 has been outstanding in some ways. The meetings in the Far East and Middle East were on new territories. Those in the Asian and African countries were a renewal of old precious fellowship. Even the ones held in the hotel room in Peking should bear their fruit. God’s people are scattered in the many denominations, therefore the doors are opened to reach them.

The contact to the Arab countries came as a direct surprise. Since I ministered there, I can testify that God has precious people there. The invitation to speak in Jordan, Egypt, Syria and even in the camps of Palestinians was a thrill.

In 1984 the developments around Israel will increase. The end- time prophetic plan will come more into view. As the Lord leads, we shall keep you up-to-date by showing happenings in the light of God’s Word.

With gratefulness of heart I remember the last time the Lord spoke on 28th December 1982 at 4.13 a.m., “Gather unto Me My people with whom I made a covenant through sacrifice.” The hour has arrived. God’s people will not gather any longer to hear this brother or that one, but they will come out of the religious prison camps and enjoy the true liberty of the Spirit within the limits of God’s holy Word. the will on a There has to come first love, and the follow automatically. certain doctrine, as a real restoration of all things starting with true fellowship of the believers, and the rest The salvation of our soul does not depend some make it sound. Our salvation happened, when the Lamb of God shed His blood and cried, “It is finished!”

Every prophecy contained in God’s holy Word must be fulfilled, regardless of the realm it’s assigned to. I. Tim. 4 is no exception, “ … in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron…“ The list of the false teachings could be continued.
