The God of Miracles, Signs and Wonders

Deuteronomy 6 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 and thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is ethe head of all principality and power:

We usually call ourselves Christians, but we take on other names from different denominations. This act shows that we are not married to the LORS JESUS and we reject HIS Lordship over our lives. We are Christians because we must be Christ-like. Thus He is the Master and Guide in our lives. That is what makes us Christians.

The Message Of The Hour

25 Notice, Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New Testament. See? He's the same God, just changing his form. Now, someone said the other day, a Baptist minister out in Tucson, "How can you say that Jesus and God would be the same person?" I said, "Well, it's very easy if you just let your own thinking get away and think the Bible terms of it. They are the selfsame being. God is a Spirit; Jesus is the body that He was veiled in. See?" I said, "Like in my home. To my wife, I am her husband. And I have a young daughter, Rebekah, I am her father. And I have a grandson, and his name is Paul, I am his grandfather. I am husband, father, and grandfather. And my wife has no claims on me as father or grandfather, she has claims on me alone as husband. And my daughter has no claims on me as husband or grandfather, she is my child." See? But yet all these three persons is the same person. See? That's God: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, is just the dispensation claim. God is same, the same God.

26 God changed Himself, changed His form. If you notice here in Philippians, He said, "Not thinking it robbery, but took the form of man." Now, the Greek word there for that form, I've been looking at it all day yesterday, trying to think out what it was, I find, come with this word of "en morphe." It's spelled e-n m-o-r-p-h-e. Looking in the Greek to find out what en morphe was... I may pronounce that wrong, but ... reason I spell it, when if the tape is released, the people will (scholars will) know what I mean by it. He... When the en morphe... That means that He changed Himself. He come down. Now, the Greek word there means that something that could not be seen, yet it's there, and then it's changed and the eye can catch it. See?

183 “But in the last day, at the sounding…” Revelation 10:1-7, He said, “The mysteries of God would be finished in the last days, at the sounding of the seventh angel.” Malachi 4, said that He would “Send Elijah before the evil day come upon the earth, when He would burn it like a furnace. And he would restore, and to bring back the—the children to the Faith of the fathers,” The original, apostolic, Pentecostal Faith was promised to be restored. Now, that’s just as plain as Scripture can say it. Now it’s promised. And if we’re in the last days, something has got to happen. See? And it is happening, and we are seeing it.

“The Angel of the Lord looked like a Pillar of Fire,” years ago, before It was ever took; God makes science recognize that It’s Truth. And here, of the prophecy that was given, God make science testify that It’s the Truth.

Then there is Elijah to whom the Word of the Lord came. When he got through preaching the truth and that group back there that is the forerunner of the American Jezebel group would not receive the Word, God called him off the field and plagued that generation for rejecting the prophet and the message that God had given. God called him to the wilderness and he would not come out even for the king. Those who tried to persuade him to do so, died. But God spoke to His faithful prophet by vision. Out of hiding he came and brought back the Word to Israel. Then came John the Baptist, Christ’s faithful forerunner, the mighty prophet for his day. He did not go to his father’s school, nor the school of the Pharisees — he went to no denomination, but out to the wilderness called there by God. There he stayed until the Lord sent him out with the message, crying, “The Messiah is at hand.”

Now I want you to be very careful here and see this. God has promised that at the end time Malachi 4 is going to be fulfilled. It has to be for it is the Spirit-quickened Word of God spoken by the prophet Malachi. Jesus referred to it. It is just before Christ comes the second time. By the time Jesus comes all Scripture must be fulfilled. The Gentile dispensation will be in its last church age when that messenger of Malachi comes. He will be right with the Word. He will take the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. He will start at the serpent’s seed and carry on to the messenger in the latter rain. But he will be rejected by the denominations.

One day at the river, I was baptizing five hundred people at the river, when, all of a sudden, this same Light that come in when I was a little boy. And I had told the people I had been seeing It. They said I was dreaming and it was some kind of a mental conception that I had. But before better than five thousand people, at two o’clock in the afternoon, in 1933, out of the skies come this Cloud coming down, speaking these Words, “As John the Baptist was commissioned to forerun the first coming of Christ, your ministry will forerun the second coming of “ Christ," 64-0419 THE TRIAL

The Israelites displeased the LORD with their constant murmuring, stubbornness and unbelief thus HE was very wrath with them. The Bride of Christ is called into faithfulness, obedience, trust and holiness, set apart for HIS greatness. The LORD is looking for tender hearts that will allow HIM to take absolute preeminence in their lives. By the revealed Word of our generation, the secret message sent through Malachi 4, GOD has sent a love letter to HIS chosen ones. Come and Dine. Eat and drink freely, without money and without price. The LORD has freely given us HIS manna, eat to your fill.

30 What a beautiful type of the Holy Spirit, on the day of Pentecost. As God led the Church, natural, through the wilderness, now God’s leading His Church, spiritual. And our manna, our life-sustaining resource comes by the Holy Spirit. And as soon as the apostles had crossed out all the fear and doubt, and gathered in the upper room, God gave them the baptism of the Holy Spirit. When It fell down, that was our Manna coming from God out of heaven, like a rushing mighty wind, filled all the room where they were setting. Cloven tongues set upon them like fire; out of the building they went into the streets, and begin to preach and testify, God working miracles. Is that right? Our Manna. 52-0810A - I Am The Resurrection And The Life

225 Now, the Holy Spirit tells me, the Angel of God Who’s appeared here at this platform, the One Who made His first appearance on the river down here among you people, the One Who is telling me, He’s here now; and He’s proved that He’s arisen from the dead. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Your healing is in God’s hand. He’s already did it. 56-0401M - The Mighty Conqueror

The last-day messenger will appear in God’s appointed time. It is the end time now as all know, for Israel is in the homeland. Any time now he will come according to Malachi. When we see him, he will be dedicated to the Word. He will be indicated (pointed out in the Word, Revelation 10:7), and God will vindicate his ministry. He will preach the truth as did Elijah and be ready for the Mount Zion showdown. Many will misunderstand him because they have been taught Scripture in a certain way which they consider truth. When he comes against that, they will not believe. Even some true ministers will misunderstand the messenger because so much has been called God’s truth by deceivers. But this prophet will come, and as the forerunner to the first coming cried, “Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world,” even so will he no doubt cry out, “Behold the Lamb of God, coming in glory.” He will do this, for even as John was the messenger of truth to the elect, so is this one the last messenger to the elect and Word-born bride.

Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Colossians 2:9-14 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

41 I Timothy 3:16; "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; for G-o-d, Elohim..." Capital G-o-d, in the Bible, refer it back, anybody it refers to in the original, it said, "Elohim. In the beginning, Elohim." See? "And Elohim... Without controversy great is the mystery of Elohim; for Elohim was made flesh, and we handled Him." Elohim veiled in human flesh! The great Jehovah that covered all space, time, and everywhere, was made man. We handled Him, Elohim. "In the beginning, Elohim. And Elohim was made flesh, dwelt among us."

45 This was a part of His way. This is the way He manifests Himself to us, manifests the eternal Word, God, Jehovah made flesh. Like in St. John 1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the... In the beginning was Elohim, and Elohim became the Word, and the Word was Elohim. And the Word was made Elohim." See? It's the same thing, just unfolding.

50 The Holy Ghost, God dividing Himself, making sons and daughters, setting upon, that Pillar of Fire divided Itself, and a Tongue of Fire set upon each one of them, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and begin to speak with other tongues as the Spirit of God give them utterance. There were dwelling in Jerusalem bishops, archbishops, popes, and so forth, great men, all nations under heaven, and when the counsel come together, and they said, “Why, these men are all full of new wine.” 60-1125 - Conference

We are leaving in the last age, the last church age, and if we do not have Christ, all of our efforts such as; going to church, reading the Bible, keeping the laws, trying to be a good person, intelligence, wisdom, education, and everything that we have acquired in this life, It will all be meaningless.

If we do not know Christ Jesus personally, we are lost. Going to church doesn’t save us, even living a righteous life doesn’t save us. It’s part of being a good Christian but that is not salvation. To know Christ, our Lord is to walk in His will by His grace, have a personal revelation of who HE is and what He is doing in your day. Establish a relationship with Him with perpactual fellowship. The Lord has to be the anchor of your soul, it’s not necessarily you having Christ, but it’s Christ having/holding on to you, which gives Him the freedom to fully manifest Himself in your life daily.

So He wasn't even that. He was Elohim, the Eternal. But in Him was thoughts, He wanted to become material. And what did He do? Then He spoke a word, and the Word was materialized.

That's the whole picture from Genesis to Revelation. There's nothing wrong. It's Elohim materializing so He can be touched, felt. And in the millennium there's Elohim sitting on the throne, that's right,

98 Then if that was Christ’s Holy Spirit came on the Day of Pentecost that did those things, it’s Christ’s Holy Spirit been pushed out here, Christ’s Holy Spirit still holding in here, Christ’s Holy Spirit still holding here, on down here unto the end of the world.

The same Holy Spirit that filled Paul with the Holy Ghost and the things that he done, will fill this one (Irenaeus) full of the Holy Ghost, fill Martin full of the Holy Ghost, fills the rest of them full of the Holy Ghost, and It filled you and I full of the Holy Ghost, and it’s a Pentecostal Blessings from one church age to the other;

TITLES /NAMES GOD

Alpha and Omega, the End and the Beginning, and All,

Root and Offspring of David, Morning Star,

Rose of Sharon, Lily of the Valley, whatever more,

Father, Son, Holy Ghost,

He that Was, Which Is, and Shall Come, the Alpha, Omega, All, All in All! Oh, my! That would make me sing a song:

Oh, who do you say that I am, (said Jesus) from whence did you say that I came,

Do you know My Father, or can you tell His Name?

He said:

I’m Alpha and Omega, the beginning from the end,

I AM the whole creation, and Jesus is the Name.

I AM that spoke to Moses in a burning bush of fire,

I AM the God of Abraham, the Bright and Morning Star.

(That’s right.)

I AM the Rose of Sharon, and from whence did you say that I came?

I AM the whole creation, but Jesus is the Name. 60-1209 - The Sardisean Church Age

The voice and the person are one and the same. Jesus is the WORD

73 Now the salute. Now, the seven Spirits are…“The seven Spirits and the seven stars.” The Spirits was the angels that went to the stars which were messengers. “Seven Spirits,” seven different times the Holy Spirit would anoint a messenger, which was a star in his day.

A—a Spirit is Eternal, and the star that was made for a purpose to reflect Light in the dark of these church ages where candles and stars are representing. The angel, the Spirit, was the one that went to the star and reflected the Light of the Holy Spirit through this star to that church age. That, you might know…wonder who the seven Spirits are. It’s the seven messengers of the seven church ages. See? Now, and each time that the star came in on the scene, the Holy Spirit came down and anointed that star and kept it just exactly like the first one was. 60-1209 - The Sardisean Church Age

5. In His Right Hand Were Seven Stars “And He had in His right hand seven stars.” Now of course we already know from verse 20 what the seven stars actually are. “And the mystery of the seven stars are the angels (messengers) of the seven churches.” Now we couldn’t make a mistake here on any account, as He interprets it for us.

These seven stars are the messengers to the seven successive church ages. They are not called by name. They are just set forth as seven, one to each age. From the Ephesian Age on down to this Laodicean Age each messenger brought the message of truth to the people, never failing to keep it the Word of God to that particular church age. Each one held to it. They were steadfast in their loyalty to the original light. As each age pulled away from God, His faithful messenger turned that age back to the Word. Their strength was from the Lord or they never could have stemmed the tide. They were safe in His care, for nothing could pluck them out of His hand, and neither could anything separate them from the love of God, let it be sickness, peril, nakedness, famine, sword, life or death.

They were truly yielded to Him and kept by His omnipotence. They were not concerned about the persecution that came their way. Pain and derision was but cause to give glory to God that they were counted worthy to suffer for Him. And in thankfulness for His salvation they burned with the light of His life and reflected His love, patience, meekness, temperance, gentleness, faithfulness. And God backed them up with wonders, signs, and miracles. They were accused of being fanatics, and holy-rollers. They were denounced by organizations and held in mockery, but they kept true to the Word. An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages (2 - The Patmos Vision)

6 I believe, they told me, Brother Hickerson just took this out of the magazine. He put it on my desk back there. That is that constellation of Angels that’s in the magazine that was spoke of. See the pyramid shape? Look at this One on this side, the pointed wing, coming with His chest out like that, on my right-hand side. As I spoke from this same pulpit, months and months and months ago, see, there It is. And Look maga-…Or, Life magazine has It, the—the May issue, May the 17th, I believe it is. That right? May the 17th, issue. Mrs. Wood was telling me today that many called her and asked. That’s in the May issue, May the 17th. 7 It’s a mysterious cloud. The cloud is twenty-six miles high and thirty miles across. And that’s what we were speaking of here. That’s where the Angel of the Lord came down and shook the place. And the whole…It sound louder…63-0630E - Is Your Life Worthy Of The Gospel?

146 Junior Jackson listening in, you remember the dream he had that I interpreted, “going towards the setting of the sun”? And this happened on “Sunset” Mountain. It’s the evening time, sunset time. The sunset Message through a setting of history, a setting of prophecy, rather, being fulfilled. And it shall be Light at the evening time, upon Sunset Mountain in the Coronado Forest, forty miles north of Tucson. Get on the map and see if Sunset Peak there. That’s exactly where it happened. I never know it till the other day.

147 Everything that…That shall never die. It’s constantly unrolling Itself. From the very thing happening, to the picture being Jesus standing looking at us; and now exactly on Sunset Mountain, and the sunset Light. The evening Light has come, God vindicating Himself. What is it? It is the facts that God and Christ are one. The “white,” how many seen it, the white wig upon Him, as we talked in Revelation 1? See, the Supreme Deity, Supreme Authority; no other voice, no other god, no other nothing! “In Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” The Angels Themselves was His wig. Amen.

148 What’s happened upon Mount Sunset? God confirming His Word. That’s what all this noise is about. Notice, it’s God fulfilling His promised Word again, of Revelation 10:1 to 7, “And in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel’s Message, the mystery of God should be finished.” The hidden mystery of Revelation 10:1 to 7, the last Message to the last church age. Fulfills exactly, in this age, Saint Luke 17:30, “The day when the Son of man shall be revealed.”

150 And the science, all through Tucson yet, they’re writing pieces and put in the paper. Way back over there on Mount Lemmon, them big cameras didn’t see It rising up from where we was standing; drifting on towards the West, showing the time is over. It can’t go but a little piece there; it’s at the West Coast. Judgment struck just in the very way it went. Going right up over Phoenix and right on across, on to Prescott and across the mountains to the West Coast, right on up into…Where was they going? Right on up into Alaska, and she is thundering, heading right that way.

151 And the observatories and all of them in Tucson are still asking, research of science trying to find out what it is. So high they can’t be fog, mist, or nothing up there. “What did it? Where is it at?” They’re just as puzzled of that supernatural Halo hanging yonder in the sky as they was when the Magis come in following a Star, saying, “Where is He that’s born King of the Jews?” What was it? God fulfilling His Word, “And there shall rise a star out of Jacob.”

Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, One like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” There it is. Daniel saw Him with that white hair. He was the Judge opening the books and judging out of them. Daniel saw Him coming in clouds. That is exactly what John saw. They both saw Him exactly the same. They saw the Judge with His judgment girdle over His shoulders, standing pure and holy, full of wisdom, fully qualified to judge the world in righteousness. Hallelujah. An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages (2 - The Patmos Vision)

But what do we have in this our day? Multitudes are working signs until we have a generation of sign seekers that know little or nothing about the Word, or a true move of the Spirit of God. If they see blood, oil and fire they are happy; it matters not what is in the Word. They will support any sign, even unscriptural ones. But God has warned us about that. He said in Matthew 24 that in the last days the two spirits would be so close together that only the very elect could tell them apart, for they alone would not be deceived.

How can you tell the spirits apart? Just give them the Word test. If they don’t speak that Word, they are of the evil one. As the evil one deceived the first two brides, he will try to deceive the bride of this last day, by trying to get her to hybridize herself through creeds, or just plainly turning from the Word to any sign that suits her. But God never placed signs ahead of the Word. Signs follow the Word, as when Elijah told the woman to bake a cake for him first, according to the Word of the Lord. When she did as the Word said, the proper sign came. Come to the Word first and then watch the miracle.

The seed Word is energized by the Spirit. How can any messenger sent from God believe only a part of the Word and deny some of it? The true prophet of God in this last day will proclaim the whole Word. Denominations will hate him. His words may be as harsh as John the Baptist who called them vipers. But the predestinated will hear and be ready for the rapture. The Royal Seed of Abraham, with like faith as Abraham’s will hold to the Word with him, for they are predestinated together.

It is at such a time as this that the messenger of Malachi must come. Then in the latter rain will come a Mount Carmel showdown. Watch this carefully now to see it in the Word. John was the forerunner of Malachi 3. He planted the former rain and was rejected by the organizations of his day. Jesus came and had a Mount Transfiguration showdown. The second forerunner of Christ will sow for the latter rain. Jesus will be the showdown between the denominations and creeds, for He will come to back up His Word and take His bride in the rapture. The first showdown was Mount Carmel; the second was the Mount Transfiguration, and the third will be Mount Zion.

The strange behaviour of Moses, Elijah, and John withdrawing from the people into seclusion left many confused. They did not realize that it was because their messages had been rejected. But the seed had been sown, the planting was over. Judgment was next. They had served their purpose as a sign to the people, so judgment was next. I believe according to Revelation 13:16 that the bride will have to stop preaching for the beast is demanding the mark in the hand or forehead if permission to preach be granted. Denominations will take the mark, or be forced to quit preaching. Then the Lamb will come for His bride and judge the great harlot.

Revelation 1:7

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

And the same Voice that was walking in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks also was the same Voice he heard in Heaven, saying, “Come up hither.”

76 John is the—the messenger at that time. Walking in the midst of these seven golden candlesticks was Jesus Christ, the Almighty God. What is He doing? He didn’t say He was walking in one candlestick, He was walking in the midst of all of them. What does that denote? That He is the same God, yesterday, today, and forever, and in every church age to every believer. He comes to…with the Holy Ghost to every age and to every person; same yesterday, today, and forever.

77 “Holding in His right hand.” Right hand means His “authority and power.” Holding in His right hand (under, controlled) the seven messengers to the seven church ages. Oh, I like that. See Him walking around through these church ages, the Christ, making Himself known to His people down through these Dark Ages, down through every age; while the church got formal and pulled out, and some went one way and some another, but that little minority of the church still held on, and Christ worked with them, confirming His Word; winds It right through. 60-1205 - "The Ephesian Church Age"

36 Watch the ministry of the Holy Ghost. Watch it today. When it comes back…The Church has gradually been coming down. When it…The first reformation was Luther. We had a great big wide place: Justification by faith. The Church was shook.

Then come along Wesley, the second big revival. It shook it down to sanctification. The Church become in the minority, greatly in the minority. Then after that come Pentecost, the restoration of the gifts. It shook it down now to just a little thing, like a pyramid coming up. But right at the end time before the capstone can come to the pyramid, what about it? What is it?

Then the Church is really in the minority. As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man, where eight souls was saved by water. Now, the coming of the Son of man, what is it? The Church come from justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and now, both former and latter rain come in, and it is close approaching, as my hand is a shadow it becomes closer, darker, darker, darker, and it becomes hand and shadow is the same.

37 The church and all of its spiritual gifts and lights and so forth, and the great signs that He’s given to the church to look at…There’s the world out there: the fig tree putting forth its buds.

There’s earthquakes in divers places. All these other things are handwriting on the wall to the—to the world. But you see these signs appearing. “The works that I do, shall you also. A little while and the world seeth Me no more; yet ye shall see Me, for I’ll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world.”

These great signs appearing. What is it? The Spirit in the church is becoming so close like Jesus, till the church and the Spirit will unite together, and the resurrection will come. 60-0303 - Former And Latter Rain

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭30‬ ‭

82 I didn’t know at the time, that they were taking pictures of that, scientists was, as the Angels lowered themselves from Heaven, to bring the Message.

And you remember, I said the One on the right side of the constellation had, kind of, His chest back, and His wings. And how that I watched Him?
He was very distinctive from the others.
But here it is, miles above where there could be moisture, and no planes in the district.
It’s thirty miles across it, twenty-six miles high

In the news.

And I didn’t know they were taking a picture of It, ’cause immediately I hurried East.
But going back home to Tucson, there It was all through the papers that had been seen almost nation-wide, or plumb into Mexico, and all the Western States
It was on the Associated Press. “A mysterious cloud in the sky”
And now the Life magazine picked it up.
See the pyramid of the Cloud? I was standing just below this.
And there, see the distinctive Angel on the right-hand side? See the pointed wing of It? Just exactly what was said.
And here it’s in the view of Mexico and different places from where they took the picture. 63-0623M - Standing In The Gap

132 The greatest of all revelations is the Deity, the Supreme Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. You can’t get to first base until you believe that, walk out…That’s what Peter said, “Repent, and then see the Deity. Be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and then you’re ready to go in the Spirit.” The first thing you have to know is the Deity of Christ. “I am Alpha and Omega! I am from A to Z, there’s no more but Me. I was at the beginning, I’ll be at the end. I’m He that was, which is, and shall come, the Almighty.” Think of It! That’s what the trumpet said.

133 Be careful John! You’ve entered into the Spirit, something’s going to be revealed to you. What is it? A trumpet sound, the first thing, “I’m Alpha and Omega.” The first of all revelations. (Oh, sinner, bow, repent now before the time is too late.) “I’m Alpha and Omega.” That’s the first thing that He let him know, who He was. (Who’s this approaching? Is this King Jesus? King God? King Holy Ghost?) He said, “I’m all of It! I’m from A to Z. I’m the beginning and the ending. I’m the Immortal, Eternal One!”

134 Just a little later we watch Him in His sevenfold personage, watch what He is then. “I am the beginning and the end. I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. I was before there was a first; and after there’s no more last, I’ll still be there,” in other words. “The first and the last!” 60-1204E - The Patmos Vision

142 And the other day, standing there, turned the picture to the right, and there is Jesus as He was in the Seven Church Ages, the white wig on, showing Supreme Deity. He’s Alpha and Omega; He’s the First and the Last; He is the Supreme Judge of all Eternity, standing there to confirm the Message of this hour. And there shall be Light about the evening time! What’s it all about? What was it? 65-0725E - What Is The Attraction On The Mountain?

44 Now, we would appreciate, if you—if you like to—to hear the Message, The Third Exodus. Now, we’ve had many exoduses, but we can definitely put our hand on the place, time, of three exoduses that God, in the form of a Pillar of Fire, has come down to call and separate people. And now it’s separating a people.

45 And we find out that, when He called His first exodus, He went before them in a Pillar of Fire, and led them to…leading them to a land where later He appeared before them, in the form of a Man called Jesus Christ. He come from God, and went to God. And the…then He was rejected. And He come then to call a people out of a—out of a formal condition that they had got into, like they had down in Egypt, had give way to sin and to the—the ways of the Egyptians. And God called them out.

59 Something, some kind of an excuse. “It’s too hot. I’m too tired. I will, tomorrow.” Just some kind of an excuse, that’s all they do. By rejecting the day of visitation, it separates you from God.

60 Now, we notice. And, in the Old Testament, they had what they called the jubilee year. That was when all the people, that was slaves, could go free when the jubilee sounded. And then if a man did not go out, if there was some excuse that he could give, that he didn’t want to return to his land, then he had to be marked in the ear, with an awl, by the post in the temple. And then no matter how many jubilees come along, that man was sold out. He could never no more come back as a citizen in Israel, no more. What did he do? He rejected his invitation. He didn’t have to pay nothing. The debt of his slavery was over. His family was free. He could go right back to his homeland and get his own possession. But if he refused to do it, then he wasn’t lotted no more with Israel, and his possession was give to another.

61 Now, the same thing in the natural applies to the spiritual. That, if we, as inheritance of Eternal Life, and we hear the Gospel and know that It’s true, and we reject It, and refuse to do it or to listen to It, we take on the mark of the beast. 63-0707M - The Indictment

The Lord Jesus Christ is the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY and Saviour of all mankind from whom all things have been created and consist. God is currently establishing His Eternal Kingdom here on earth through the preaching of the Infallible Word of God by which whosoever believes and is baptized in Name of Jesus Christ and receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit is born again into the Body of Christ becomes the Bride of Christ

Like the attribute, see, it is in God. An attribute is your thought. God in the beginning, the Eternal, He wasn't even a God. He was the Eternal. He wasn't even God, God is an object of worship, or something. See? So He wasn't even that. He was Elohim, the Eternal. But in Him was thoughts, He wanted to become material. And what did He do? Then He spoke a word, and the Word was materialized. That's the whole picture from Genesis to Revelation. There's nothing wrong. It's Elohim materializing so He can be touched, felt. And in the millennium there's Elohim sitting on the throne, that's right,

He has to be for that is history repeating itself from the time of Ahab. Israel’s history under Ahab is happening right here in America where the prophet of Malachi appears. As Israel left Egypt to worship in freedom, pushed out the natives, raised up a nation with great leaders like David, etcetera, and then put an Ahab on the throne with a Jezebel behind him to direct, so have we done the very same in America. Our forefathers left for this land to worship and live in freedom. They pushed back the natives and took over the land. Mighty men like Washington and Lincoln were raised up but after awhile other men of such poor caliber succeeded these worthy men that soon an Ahab was set in the presidential chair with a Jezebel behind him to direct him.

But some day those feet of brass will stand upon the earth. And the Judge of all the earth He shall be, and with equity and perfection will He judge mankind. And there will be no evading that judgment. No turning of that justice. There will be no tempering of it. He that is unjust will be unjust still; he that is filthy will be filthy still. The Unchanging One will not change then, for He never has and never will. Those feet of brass will crush the enemy. They will destroy the antichrist, the beast and the image and all that is vile in His sight. He will destroy the church systems that have taken His Name only to corrupt its brilliance and crush them along with the antichrist.

All the wicked, the atheists, the agnostics, the modernists, the liberals, will all be there. Death, hell, and the grave will be there. Yes they will. For when He comes, the books will be opened. That is when even the lukewarm church and the five foolish virgins will appear. He will separate the sheep from the goats.

When He comes He will take over the kingdom, for it is His, and with Him will be the thousands times ten thousands, His Bride, who come to minister to Him. Glory! Oh, it is now or never. Repent before it is too late. Wake up from amongst the dead and seek God to be filled with His Spirit or you will miss eternal life. Do it now while there is time.

In 1957, God again set the stage for a photograph of His Supernatural Light at the Lakeport, California, Fairground. A photographer with excellent equipment took two color shots of Brother Branham while he was preaching. The first picture was normal as shown at left. BUT the other photo was quite different in it's appearance - a definite manifestation of the supernatural.

The second picture, from the same location, also contained the details seen in the first, but it was not a normal picture. This picture contains much additional detail that was not seen by those present. Behind Brother Branham, and looking down over him is a perfect profile of a face that can only be described as that of Jesus Christ. A supernatural altar and the seven licks of fire which are spoken of in Revelation as the "seven Spirits of God" which are "before the throne" are also present in the picture. The lilies which appeared normal in the first picture, now, seem to have grown to a large size; they now extend above Brother Branham's head in the picture (Christ, the Lily of the valley). The Angel of the Lord is also seen in the picture with a train of fire proceeding from Him. This "train of fire" seems to envelop Brother Branham. The Angel has licks of fire protruding from His fingertips.

A Careful examination reveals that the Angel resembles Brother Branham. (Later, when the constellation of seven Angels appeared in 1963, Brother Branham commented that the Angel on the lower left of the 'cloud picture' was the one that always appeared to him, for he seemed to recognize this one. Not so unusual when you consider that these seven messengers, seven spirits, seven stars, being the seven church age messengers would naturally resemble the men to whom each was sent.) In Ezekiel 1:26-28 we find an exact description of what we see in the second picture - "The appearance of fire from his loins downward and the appearance of fire from his loins upward, even as the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain - the likeness of the glory of the Lord." A tremendous vindication by God of His servant and Prophet.

61 And I thought, if... I've always been ashamed of my faith. But people, as good as the Lord has been, He has showed things, told visions; everything has been perfect. You people know that. It's not a individual. It's not a man. It's God that does it. And this picture here, how it's went over the world. The ones in Germany... And here a few weeks ago (Maybe a stranger is here never seen it.), they caught another one. I got it at home. It's the profile of the Lord Jesus standing right behind where I was standing. And His hands are out and tongues of fire are flying off from His hands, while I was speaking on the subject, "Say To This Mountain Be Moved And Don't Doubt In Your Heart, But Believe."

And we've got it. It's in Techni--Kodachrome colors. And we've got it at the home now. And they're making... It's been examined now by science and so forth in laboratories. It'll be out pretty soon. Another one, which makes about six of them now in different places that's been took. This is the most outstanding of all of them.

62 Never seen... There's His--His beard, His face, His profile, His arms hanging out. And I was standing right in like this and where He's got His arms, you can't even see a place of Him like that. My head, then my feet down at the floor; just head and feet, that's all there was left. See?

And He--He's standing with His arms right like this, and I've got my hands out like this a preaching, saying, "Say to this mountain." And about that time something took place, and they snapped the picture of it like that. And there it was behind. All in colors. And a big...

So as God does arrange a big basket of calla lilies setting close: He's the Lily of the Valley. And where do you get opium? Out of lilies. That's right. What is the opium God has? Peace. Opium just makes you forget all about your troubles. Opium smokers, that's how they kill themselves with that opium. God has an opium. Amen. He eases every pain, heals all sickness, takes every weary away. As long as we're breathing into His opium, we're at peace. And the big basket of lilies was sitting right in front where I'm a speaking on the platform. 58-1130 WATCHMAN.WHAT.OF.THE.NIGHT

Here also was the answer to Matthew 7:21-23, “Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father Which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils? and in Thy Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.” Jesus does not deny that they did the mighty works that only the Holy Ghost can accomplish by way of men.

But He did deny ever knowing them. These weren’t backsliders. These were wicked, unregenerate, reprobates. These were the seed of Satan. And there it is. You CAN’T claim that manifestation is the evidence of being Spirit-born, Spirit-filled. No sir. I will admit that true manifestation is the evidence of the Holy Spirit doing mighty acts, but it is NOT the evidence of the individual being Spirit-filled, even though that individual has an abundance of those manifestations. The evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost today is just the same as it was back in the day of our Lord. It is receiving the Word of truth for the day in which you live. Jesus never did stress the importance of the Works as He did the Word. He knew that if the people got the WORD the works would follow. That is Bible. An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages - 5 - The Pergamean Church Age

2 Peter 1:1-10 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

When a man or woman possess this, then the Capstone comes down and seals them into the Kingdom of God, which is the Holy Ghost. And their life is dead and hid in Christ, through God, and sealed in there by the Holy Ghost. First Corinthians 12. That's right. See? You reckon yourself dead, then you're born of faith. Then virtue and these other things is added to you till you're a perfect, living image of God.

Every true child of God desires to be perfected in the ways of the Lord. However, because of human weaknesses, human desires, selfishness, and sin, we end up being far from perfection in our Christian walk. Although the Lord has paid the price of redemption to bring us back to Himself yet, we hinder ourselves daily by allowing Satan to talk us out of salvation, peace, rest, righteousness, and God is well. But if we can humble ourselves to let the Holy Spirit perfect us and give us all these virtues that are needed and absolutely necessary, God is more than able and is willing to perfect us into the stature of the perfect man. My desire is to be like Christ, if I can get myself out of the way and give him full control, that HE alone can have pre-eminence in my life, then He can change it to how He desires it to be, that I can be like him fully and come into perfection with all these seven virtues. Then the LORD, the Chief Capstone can seal me in Himself and fulfil His purpose in my life.

There is seven qualifications to make the stature of God

Faith does the rest. So you must have faith for a foundation. All Christianity, all you are, all you'll ever be, is based upon faith in the Word. That's the reason I believe the Word. First, you must be born again. And then when you're born again, you have faith; you believe the Word. Until you're born again, you'll argue against It.

Virtue, Faith alone won't do it. Peter said, "Then add virtue to your faith." You must have virtue, in order to add it to your faith …. Virtue is strength, power

Knowledge, that don't mean worldly knowledge, 'cause that's foolishness to God; but knowledge to judge, judge what? Right from wrong.

Temperance doesn't mean, "stop drinking alcohol," here, either. No, no. Temperance doesn't mean alcoholic cure, not in this case. That's just one of the lusts of the flesh. This is Bible temperance, Holy Spirit temperance that we're talking about. That means, how to control your tongue, not be a tattler; how to control your temper,

Patience. Man’s biggest problem is to manufacture something before God moved on the scene. God tests us to see if we will wait for His solution or whether we will rush forward to solve the problems in our own wisdom.

Godliness means "to be like God." Godliness means putting God’s will before our own selfish wills. The key lesson concerning godliness is to wait on God rather than rushing in to ask for the advice or help of man. We cannot be godly until God runs and controls our lives.

Brotherly kindness of Jesus Christ, and the love of God, which is Jesus Christ. He's the Head and controls you. And your feet is the foundation, faith. Amen! Controlled by the Head. There you are. There is the perfect man of God, when he possesses these virtues.

Love or Charity The Holy Ghost, Christ in the person of the Holy Ghost, comes upon you, in the true baptism of the Holy Ghost, and you got all these virtues sealed in you. Then, God lives in a Tabernacle, called the Building, the living Tabernacle of the living God's dwelling place.

Resting In The LORD JESUS CHRIST

31 The Christian experience is based solemnly and wholly upon rest. “Come unto Me all ye that labor and heavy laden, I’ll give you rest.” We’re tossed about with everything until you come to Christ, then it’s all finished. Resting in Christ, perfectly. No matter what comes or goes, nothing can touch us without it comes over the Shepherd. He has to permit it.

The Bible said, “All things work together for good to them that love the Lord.” Has to come over Shepherd first. Said, “I’m the door. No man can come in without Me accepting it.” Let me—let me tell you that when God permits anything, it’s working to your good. So would sickness be the same thing? Certainly, that God might heal you to show a great testimony, give you a little something to move on for. “All things work together for good.” 56-0212 - "Fellowship"

The GOD of all Creation desires for His people to find rest in HIM but as humans, we often chose the contary ways. We burden ourselves with much wories and cares to the point of absolute exhaustion and frustration. However, for those that have learned these secret of trusting and having complete faith in the LORD JESUS CHRIST, they find rest for their souls and the cares of this World.

Colossians 2

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

He is coming soon. The Alpha and Omega, the Prophet, Priest and King, the All-in-All, Lord God of Hosts, is coming soon. Even so Lord Jesus, the One and Only True God, come quickly!An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages - 1 - The Revelation Of Jesus Christ

“They think you have to belong to that certain church or you cannot go to Heaven. That’s wrong. To believe that, is antichrist. I’ll say this: if you believe such a spirit, you’re lost. That’s a good sign you are lost, because it’s taking away from what God did. God never put His Name in any church. He put It in His Son, Christ Jesus, when He and His Son became One. That’s the genuine place of worship. No other foundations was laid, no other rock.” 65 – 2 20 GOD’S CHOSEN PLACE OF WORSHIP
