THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST IS NOT FINISHED YET, contrary to some who teach that the rapture took place in 1963. Some teach that we are now living in the THIRD COMING of CHRIST. I say, we are not. We are still at the CLIMAX of the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. When the rapture takes place, the Bride will have to undergo a "body-change". This corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal flesh must put on immortality. That's a promise in the Bible (1 Cor. 15:52-54; 1 Thes. 4:16-18). Don't let any preacher deprive you of that divine promise.
How could any preacher teach that the rapture already took place in FEBRUARY 28, 1963 (on that ARIZONA CLOUD) when in fact Brother Branham himself was still looking for a true physical body-change or "rapture" even after such an incident on Sunset Mountain, till his death in 1965?
Read Brother Branham's excerpts below to prove my point:
April 12, 1963 - (WORLD'S.FALLING.APART_ ALBQ.NM FRIDAY_ 63-0412M)
"I don't want to hurt you. I want to bless you. Listen. One of these days the rapture will come by, and the Bride will be gone, and you'll know nothing about it. They won't even know a word about it."
July 14, 1963 - (WARNING.THEN.JUDGMENT_ JEFF.IN WEDNESDAY_ 63-0724)
"The Bible through the seven seals has perfectly been revealed, waiting only now for them seven mysteries right at last, on the coming of the Lord and the rapture of the Church that might happen before morning. Oh, my."
August 25, 1963 - (PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0825E)
"We're coming now to the perfection, because the people has to come to this in order for the rapture. That's what's holding it away right now, is waiting for that church to come into that perfect raptured faith. I'm looking for it. It means a lot of shaking down for me; it means a lot for you; but together we'll make it by the grace of God. Amen."
August 25, 1963 - (HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0825M)
"And now, at the coming of the Lord Jesus, those who are really loving His a-coming, that's living for it, when He appears in the sky, the Church that's dead in Christ shall rise and those will be changed in a moment. The rest of them know nothing about it. Remember, appeared to those in the city. See, the--the--the rapture will be like that. We'll see each other, and we'll see them. The rest of the world won't see them. It'll be caught away as a secret going, waiting for that time, then returning back to the earth for that glorious millennium, then the thousand years.
November 27, 1963 - (WORLD.AGAIN.FALLING.APART SHP.LA 63-1127)
"I look for a rapture, for just a handful of people (That's right.), just a handful of people. They'll never be missed in the world. When they go, you'll never know it's gone. That's right. It'll come like a thief in the night."
March 19, 1964 - (CALLING.JESUS.ON.THE.SCENE_ DENHAM 64-0319)
"I'm looking for Him today. If He isn't here today, I'll be looking for Him tomorrow. If He isn't there tomorrow, I'll be looking the next day. If He isn't here this year, I'll be looking next year for Him. I know He's coming. I don't know the minute or the hour. But I know everything's fulfilled, ready for the rapture. The church is called out. It'll be a secret going, just vanish, and that'll be all."

"We're just to wait on the coming of the Lord. Just wait; keep your lamps trimmed, all filled full of oil. Pray up every hour, not every day, every hour. Just keep ready; be ready; be sweet, and watching..."
August 23, 1964 - (QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD 64-0823M)
"Jesus said, "When the Son of man shall appear," why, said, "it'd be like the Light that shines from the east even into the west." The whole thing, there'll be a resurrection, a rapture, and away it'll go. And before it ever go up to meet Him... By faith I believe it in His grace, that we will be among those people that'll be caught up…. These mortal bodies will not see death, but just of a sudden, there'll be like a sweep go over us, and you're changed. You're turned back like Abraham was, from an old man to a young man, from an old woman to a young woman. What's this sudden change? And after while you--you're traveling like a thought, and you can see those then who are already resurrected. Oh, what a hour. Then we'll gather with them and then be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air."
December 4, 1965 - (RAPTURE.THE_ YUMA.AZ SATURDAY_ 65-1204)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOME CONTROVERSIAL TEACHINGS THAT WE MUST BE AWARE OF:
Man-Made Theory # 1: THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST ENDED IN 1963 at the appearing of the MYSTERY-CLOUD on
---------------------------------------------------
I do not believe that the Second Coming of Christ is over.
Though it is true that the prophet's commission was to forerun the second coming of the Lord, but the Second Coming of the Lord is NOT confined alone to the appearing of the Mystery Cloud in Arizona. We are still, right now, living in the continuation of the Second Coming of the Lord - which is composed of a three-fold event : (1) an ELIJAH-COMING, (2) a BRIDE-COMING, and (3) a CORPORAL-BODY COMING of Jesus Christ.
To really know the time frame of the second coming we must first look at how Christ came the first time. The FIRST COMING of Jesus went through a SEQUENCE of EVENTS from His birth in Betlehem, to the Cross of
We are still in the "Bride-Coming of the Lord" right now. It will be a quick short ministry before the final changing of our bodies.
Would the Bride of Christ have a ministry before the rapture? Sure. That's what's going on right now. See? The BRIDE of Christ... Certainly. It is the Message of the hour (See?), the Bride of Christ. Sure, She's consist of apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. Is that right? That's the Bride of Christ. Sure, She's got a ministry, great ministry; it's the ministry of the hour; it'll be so humble." (William Branham, QA.ON.THE.SEALS. No.22 JEFF.IN 63-0324M)
A BODY-CHANGE FOR THE BRIDE
Just like Abraham and Sarah were turned back to a young man and woman (physically) before the burning of
But the actual coming of the SON ( a type of Isaac) came only after Abraham's BODY and Sarah's BODY were changed (physically). In this same PATTERN, we shall all be changed (physically) in a physical Rapture for the Scripture says that "mortality must put on immortality, and corruption (flesh) must put on incorruption (glorified body) - 1 Corinthians 15:52-54).
During the first coming of the Lord, His first coming went through a SEQUENCE of events which included his birth in Betlehem, his youth days in Galilee, his River Jordan Baptism, his 3 & ½ years of ministry with the apostles, his crucifixion at the Cross of Calvary, His resurrection after three days, and finally his Ascension after 40 days (which that was a physical rapture indeed, like Enoch and Elijah's rapture - they were all physically caught up in the air).
And when our real body-change comes, we will also be "caught up" physically one of these days , just like Jesus, Enoch and Elijah. (How dare some false teachers deny us of such privilege of a "body change" just for a mess of pottage, fame and popularity). All of these events were part of the FIRST COMING of the Lord and will also be fulfilled at the SECOND COMING of the Lord.
The SECOND COMING of the Lord, started in Pentecost where Jesus divided Himself in licks of Fire to fill His Bride with the Holy Ghost. It went through the Seven Church Ages. Jesus, sending His seven spirits, seven stars-messengers to call out the Bride in every age, the wise virgins.
Then came His appearing in these last days though the Pillar of Fire, commissioning His endtime prophet to reveal all the hidden mysteries in the seven seals. His appearing in this last generation came through the birth of William Branham, His prophet, with the halo of Light over his head inside his log cabin.
Then His appearing continued on to the commission of Brother Branham at the Ohio River in 1933 where the Pillar of Fire spoke before hundreds of people saying, "As John the Baptist foreran the first coming of Christ, your MESSAGE shall forerun the second coming of Christ" (a vindication of Malachi 4:5-6).
Then from such events, that Pillar of Fire has been seen again and photographed in Houston in 1950 testifying to the First Pull Ministry of Brother Branham (healing and miracles) up to to his Second Pull ministry (prophesy and discernments). It moved on until the Revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 (the Third Pull), which is the Revelation of the Hidden Mysteries of God (Revelation Chapter 10:1 to 7). Now, the Bride is enjoying those revelations, getting ripened under the SON, by listening to those Messages, getting rapturing faith for the final physical translation.
Did the Second Coming of the Lord end when Brother Branham died? Nope.
UNTIL TODAY, the Message is still "riding its trail again" through tapes, through MP3's and through an anointed 5-fold ministry meant to equip the Bride throughout all the world with the Oil that's necessary for the Wise Virgin's entrance to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in heaven.
All of these events are significant PARTS of the SECOND COMING OF THE LORD, not just the Arizona Cloud - and which will climax in a PHYSICAL COMING of Jesus Christ, in His own corporal BODY, appearing on the clouds of glory to catch away His Bride in the air (PHYSICALLY).
The
The "Appearing" and the "Coming" are two different things. That's according to Brother Branham himself:
"Notice. There's a great big difference in the sign of Jesus appearing, and then Jesus coming. There's two different words, means two different things: the appearing of the Lord, and the coming of the Lord. Now, the appearing of the Lord is now, when He's appearing in His people, His Spirit working among them, proving that it's Him with them, getting them ready for the rapture, for the coming of the Lord to catch away His--the Bride (See?): the appearing and the coming. All right. Now." [CONVINCED.AND.THEN.CONCERNED_ CHICAGO.IL MONDAY_ 62-0521]
The finality of the Second Coming of Christ will be a "physical event" as stated in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the DEAD in Christ shall RISE first: Then WE which are alive [and] remain shall be CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
ARE YOU IN YOUR GLORIFIED BODY RIGHT NOW?
Don't let false preachers deprive you of a "physical changing" of the Body. Do not let Satan deceive you and tell you that you are already in our own glorified body right now. For a fact, the glorified body does not get sick, does not get old, does not indulge in physical sex, could go through walls and could travel faster than the speed of light. People having their glorified bodies need no funeral services. Can any of those who say they are now in their glorified body manifest such things? No, not yet, because we are not yet glorified in our physical estate yet. In our souls, yes, we have the eighth day rest (spiritually), but in our body, we are still waiting for the time of Romans 8:23,"We ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body."
Some people misplace I CORINTHIANS 15:50 which says that, "flesh and blood cannot inherit the
To a born again Christian, therefore, this scripture applies - I JOHN 3:9 - "Whosoever is born of God doth NOT commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
If the concept that says that "the 2nd Coming is over and that we're in the 3rd coming now" is true, then that would follow that the Bride was left behind the Tribulation Period. We are not in no Tribulation Period. That is not the case for all of us now. The Bride will never go through the Tribulation Period. We will be caught up in a rapture before the Tribulation period sets in and not rot in flesh and blood here on earth. In the Tribulation Period, the Bride should be gone while Moses and Elijah calls out the 144,000 Jews and the AntiChrist purges the Foolish Virgins. Once the Bride is raptured, there will be no more salvation for the Gentiles, and the Tribulation Period purifies the earth with earthquakes and volcanics and weapons of mass destructions. The Bride will be spending her Honeymoon with Jesus in the 7th Dimension during such time and will come back only on earth after the Tribulation Period joining Jesus riding in white horses during the Third Coming - the Armageddon War, then to establish the Millennial Kingdom.
The THIRD COMING has not yet happened today. The true scenario of the THIRD COMING is described in the following Bible verses:
REVELATION 19:11-15
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
How could one say that he is now living in the Third Coming today when in fact, the Bride will be coming from heaven when that Third Coming of Christ takes place, riding in white horses? For a fact, the Third Coming is for
---------------------------------------------------------------
Man-Made Theory No. 2 - WE ARE NOW LIVING IN THE MILLENNIUM.
------------------------------------------------
Some people teach that we are now in the Millennium. But their claims are far from the truth in contrast with the situation that we are experiencing right now. In the true Millennium, the old will be young forever, sickness will fade, there will be no sorrow and death will be no more. That's a far description from real situations that we have right now amongst us. We are still living in a pest house, not in a Millennium. We still need a body change.
Listen to a vindicated prophet preach it:
SHALOM_ SIERRA.VISTA.AZ V-13 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0112
"There will be a Millennium. The old will be young there for ever. Sickness will fade away and death will be no more. And they shall build houses; they will inhabit them. They'll plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof. They'll not plant and another inhabit (his son take it), his son will be living by him. He'll not plant and another eat, die off and somebody else take it; but he will live there. Amen. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... bullock and the lamb shall feed together. And the lion shall eat straw like the bullock, and a child shall lead them around. There'll be--there'll be innocence. There'll be--there'll be--there'll be nothing could hurt. We'll be changed from what we are now, to that glorious image of the Son of God which is immortal. Years can never touch Him; age can never do anything to Him; He's the immortal Son of God. So we know that--that we're at the end time. We're at the junction. All these things thoroughly identified, so will it be identified again."
HEBREWS.CHAPTER.4_ JEFF.IN HEB SUNDAY_ 57-0901E
"Jesus knew that He'd fall heir to them in this great millennium, when His Kingdom would come, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." There'll be no more shorts wore. There'll be no more drinking. There'll be no more lust. There'll be no more adultery. There'll be no more death. There'll be no more sorrow. He falls heir to every nation. They are His. That's right. They are His, and He will fall heir; but Satan has them for a space of time, that is, today that we're living."
We can see that Millennium is not our situation right now. We can still see people around us living in sin, it's still a world full of short-wearing women, full of adultery, drinking, lust, sorrow and death. Our situation is still far from what Brother Branham described as a true "Millennium." To think that we are now living in the Millennium is pure hallucination.
Only the Roman Catholic church believes in a present Millennium. Living in a Millennium is actually a Catholic Dogma.Those who follow the pope's teachings will surely believe with him that they are living in the Millennium now. That's what the prophet told us:
208-1 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5
"No wonder the Roman Catholic Church is not looking for the return of the Lord Jesus. They are not millennialists. They have their millennium right here. The pope is reigning right now and God is reigning in him. So when He comes according to them, it has to be when the new heavens and the earth are prepared. But they are wrong. That pope is the head of the false church, and there is going to be a millennium, but while that is going on he won't be in it. He will be somewhere else."
PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE_ JEFF.IN ROJC 229-285 WEDNESDAY_ 60-1207
And that's the reason the Catholic doesn't teach the coming of Jesus to this day. It's all in the church. This is the millennium. The church owns everything. This is it. See, postmillennium (oh, my) without the return of Jesus Christ. This lasted unto the assassination of
------------------------------------------------------------------
Man-Made Theory No. 3 - YOU ARE NOW IN YOUR GLORIFIED BODY. YOU HAVE YOUR THEOPHANY INSIDE OF YOU NOW.
------------------------------------------------------
Brother Branham taught us that when we have responded to the Message-of-the-Hour, that's when we heard from our theophany. He did not say that the theophany went down inside of you. He said that during the physical Rapture of the Bride, that's the time whereby your theophany will come down from the sixth dimension to meet your redeemed body in a physical rapture. Then your mortal body plus your theophany body will turn to a glorified body in a twinkling of an eye.
Listen to Brother Branham preach it:
(WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC.title JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 65-0221E)
"The theophany comes to the earth to pick up the redeemed body. And if you're here in the air, you take the body to meet the theophany (there you are), and caught up and go to meet the Lord in the air."
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0221E
"But you by-passed the theophany and become flesh-man, to be tempted by sin. And then, "If this earthly tabernacle is dissolved, we have one already waiting." We have not yet the bodies."
He said that we have not yet the bodies, and that's in 1965. What bodies was he referring to? Our theophany bodies and our glorified bodies. They will materialize during the actual "rapture", the "catching away" of the Bride.
Though it may be true that we have a quote that says that "your soul is your theophany", but that concept was applied by Brother Branham to a soul before the fall of man, when God created man in His own image in Genesis 1:26, when man was still perfect, with no sin in our soul yet, that soul indeed is your theophany.
"But your souls were made up before the foundation of the world when God created man in His Own image: spirit of man; not a man in His Own image, but man in His Own image. See? And then He made them male and female before He ever had a man in the dust of the earth...He moved down into the earth and how that He made man in His image, and then God turned around and was made in the image of man to redeem man.” (DEMONOLOGY.PHYSICAL.REALM_ CONNERSVILLE.IN 53-0608A)
But when we fell from grace through Adam and Eve, that soul was marred and it had to wait for the "body change" before it can possess back the theophany. The theophany will not dwell inside a mortal body, but inside a glorified body only, a body just like that of our Jesus Christ.
That's why the prophet said we "by-passed our theophany", it was left in heaven for a while when we were born sinners in this world. But we will be meeting our theophany in the air during rapture time, after we have been born-again, and that's during the "body change". Truly we have heard from our theophany when we heard the Message-of-the-Hour and we have been quickened to the Word by it, because the theophany is our Body-Word indeed, a Spoken Word-Body, created by God before the foundation of the world.
--------------------------------------------------
Man-Made Theory No. 4 - WE ARE NOW LIVING IN ETERNITY, THE "EIGHTH DAY"
-----------------------------------------------------
Most people misplaces the idea of an "Eighth Day". Some believe that we are now living in the Eighth Day spiritually, while others apply the "Eight Day" physically. Let us try to get the true revelation of the "Eighth day" so that we don't get confused of the word.
"Eighth Day" literally means THREE things. It has THREE MEANINGS. You have to be very specific as to which one you apply to yourself:
(1) "Eighth Day" in Leviticus 23:36 refers to a Holy Convocation/ A Sabbath Day to
LEVITICUS 23:36 - " Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work [therein]."
(2) "Eighth Day" with regards to TIME ELEMENT refers to "Eternity". It's back to the First Day, since there are only seven days in a week, so eighth day pertains to "back to the beginning" - back to the first Day, back to Eternity - a New Heaven and the New Earth (that's after the Millennium Kingdom of Jesus of 1000 years)
REVELATION 21:1 - "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." This is the true "Eternity" spoken of in the Bible.
SATAN'S.EDEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-20 SUNDAY_ 65-0829
And I said, "There is an eighth day festival." So the seventh day would be the last; that would be the millennium. But there is an eighth day festival, which if it was the eighth, and there's only seven days, would make it the first day again--come right back to the first day. Then after the millennium is over, then there will be an established
FUTURE.HOME_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0802
"See, eight cannot be counted with the week. See, it cannot be counted, eight days in a week; you can't do it (See?), because there's only seven days in a week. Count it any way you want to; Sunday's the first day of the week. See? You count seven, and you got to go back in and start over again. Count seven and come back and go over again. See, and we live through all these types in here, but when you hit the eighth you go on into eternity."
(3) "Eighth Day" also refers to an Spiritual estate of being, which means "Eternal Rest" or "Sabbath to the Soul"
Only Jesus can give you this type of "Eighth Day"...
MATTHEW 11:28 - "Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Number 3 should apply to you and me, real born-again believers. We have entered into our Sabbath, the Eighth Day, the "rest" to our souls, a spiritual estate of being at rest with God.
But Numbers 1 and 2, do not yet apply to us. This is where many are mislead and mistaken.
To try to apply Eighth Day #2 which is the literal physical time of the "Eternity" into our local time (2009) and say that we are now living physically in the Millennium or in the New Heaven and Earth, is a misplacement of the Word. Such thinking and application is unscriptural, impractical and deceiving.
We (our physical bodies) are still living in a "time element", not yet in eternity. Physical Eternity will be spent in the "New Jerusalem", the New Heaven and Earth of Revelation 21 and 22.
"Eighth Day" should be applied for now to a soul who has been born again under the End Time Message, but not to our physical bodies yet. You can say that your soul is now eternal, yes, that is the eighth day condition of your spiritual being now..
Yet, though you have entered into that "Eighth Day" in your soul, our physical bodies are still living in the Laodicean Age for there is no such thing as an Eighth Church Age; only seven.
You may say, "Oh, no. You're mistaken in there." But Brother Branham said that when the Laodicean Age ceases, the church should be gone in the rapture. The Bride have been taken out of the Laodicean lukewarm condition, yes, but our bodies are still living within the Laodicean Church Age, the seventh church age, a time element. That's because God will not deal with the Jew and the Gentile at the same time. So we are still living under a Gentile Dispensation right now.
Take it from the prophet of God, in the Question and Answers sermon in 1964: QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.4_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 64-0830E
Question 391. Brother Branham, have you made statements recently concerning that church age has ended,
"No, I never said it's ended. If I did, you misunderstood, or I said it wrong. It is--this is the last church age; it's the end of church ages, the
As far as our "PHYSICAL BODIES" right NOW, therefore, is concerned, we are still far from eternity or "Eighth Day condition". We still get sick, we still feel hungry, we still feel pain, and our faces still grow wrinkles. I even know of one pastor who claims that he is now living in the Millennium yet His wife died and was buried recently. It's a shame to claim such teachings of living in a physical "Eternity" now or even in a "Millennium" when people see your church members still grow old, are getting sick once in a while and some gets buried in the grave.
In the true Millennium, there is supposed-to-be no death. In the physical Eighth Day, there is no growing old. In the Millennium, the animals are tamed. (Can anyone of these "Millennialist" believers prove so by going into a lion's cage without them being ravaged by such an animal?) No. Not yet. It is indeed far from reality. To say that we are now living in the Millennium, is just presuming, venturing without authority. It is a dogma, a man-made addition to the unadulterated Word. Our body is not in the "Eighth Day" condition yet. So let us not confuse the SOUL condition with the BODY condition. The soul has already been redeemed and our spirit has already been changed from earthly to heavenly, yes. But NOT the body yet. The prophet even said that "William Branham" is his greatest hindrance in serving the Lord. He was speaking about his human carnal nature.
The New Heaven and the New Earth - that will be the real "Eighth day", physically speaking. Let us not confuse the natural with the spiritual and deceive the hearers of the Word. We are still waiting for the REDEMPTION OF THE BODY, the final frontier.
"The Bride, when she's taken from the church, then the church age will cease.

Man-Made Theory No. 5 - JESUS' FLESH IS A SERPENT SINCE THE BIBLE CALLS HIM THE "BRAZEN SERPENT". AND ADAM'S BODY IS A SERPENT AS WELL SINCE HE WAS THE ONE WHO INTRODUCED SEX REPRODUCTION TO EVE.
-------------------------------------------------------
Then goes the teaching today that says that "The Body of Jesus is a serpent because he represents the "Brazen Serpent". They say that Adam's body was also a serpent since he was the one who introduced sexual reproduction to Eve.
I say such teachings are blasphemy to the core. Where did such concepts come from? I say, it's from hell. Satan truly hates the Book of Genesis and the Book of Revelation. These two books expose Satan and tell us where he came from and where he is destined to go. These two books also applaud God's two Spoken Word Sons - Adam and Jesus.
We see that in Genesis, Adam, God's son was introduced as an heir and as an amateur god. In the Book of Revelation, Jesus is proclaimed as the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. Satan hates these proclamations.
In the Book of Genesis, Satan, the serpent was cursed to the ground. And in the Book of Revelation, Satan, the old serpent, the Dragon, the Devil, was also cast into the
So here, he comes up with a tactic that will show that Jesus and Adam were one of his kind - a serpent. Can't we see that the propagation of such a teaching is to defame and to spearhead a smear campaign against the very Spoken Word Sons of God and to grab them of their power and honor? Satan is now wanting to claim and affiliate with Adam and Jesus in term of specie. Satan, the serpent, wanted to teach the Bride now that Jesus and Adam were his relatives and were one of his kindred, thereby destroying the reputation and credibility of these two original Sons of God. These are nothing but enticing spirits motivating some end-time preachers to teach people with damnable heresies.
Jesus is the Blood of God, not of any animal blood.
"It wasn't the blood of a Jew. It was the Blood of God that saved us, not the blood of a Jew. He wasn't no man's Blood. He was the creative Blood of Jehovah God, Who created the Blood cell. He wasn't neither Jew not Gentile by Blood. He was God. God's Blood saved us." (WITNESSES PHOENIX.AZ WEDNESDAY 54-0303)
Adam was taken from the dust of the earth, not from any animal race.
"And the next one to the human being was the serpent. The Bible said he was the most subtle of all the beast of the field. Smarter, he--he--he'd almost had a soul. He had a place for a soul, but what did he do? He sold out to Satan to deceive God, try to... Satan, the serpent, almost had a soul." (QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 64-0830M)
The serpent has no soul. Adam and Jesus did have souls.
Nowhere do I read in my Bible where it even says that Adam ate dust nor crawled on the ground. Neither did my Jesus. So that never proved that both of them are serpents. It is clearly stipulated in the Bible that the serpent is another separate specie from a man - a creature that's between man and animal. It was the missing link. Only that it's the only creature whose blood can mix with man. The serpent's race was lost because it was cursed and it was turned into a reptile (not a mammal anymore). Human beings are mammals and not reptiles.
Brazen serpent means "sin judged on the cross". It is only a symbol of sin judged but does not signify a direct literal hereditary gene as if Jesus came from the blood of a "serpent'. Are we saved by the blood of a serpent or by the Blood of God?
Jesus was God's own BLOOD. It's a grave blasphemy to call Jesus a serpent. It's treading where angels fear to trod. It's making God's blood as if it was an unholy thing. Beware of such a doctrine. It will make God spue you out of His mouth.

Man-Made Theory No. 6 - THE "LAKE OF FIRE" IS GOD HIMSELF SINCE THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD IS A "CONSUMING FIRE"
-----------------------------------------------------
Another strange teaching that's coming out in the open states that there is no literal "Lake of Fire" anymore. The "
Well, there is this another crazy teaching that took off of Satan's conception. He wanted to abolish the very pits of hell where he is destined to go. I can see the devil and his angels having a good time celebrating and thanking the preacher or whoever conceptualized such an idea. The devil will be so happy for this kind of doctrine since they will no longer undergo punishment in hell for their rebellion.
Aside from such resulting fact, this doctrine will likely give people the license to commit sin and to commit evil without having the feeling of any guilt. This is no different from the Catholic Church's doctrine of selling indulgences during the Dark Ages. To believe this doctrine is for people to be free of guilt and shame to commit all types of adultery, murder, robbery, whatmore, it will be hell turned loose again on earth. This is another deception that has creeped into the churches. Far be it from this doctrine to pollute your assembly. Believing this doctrine is worse than living a life of an unbeliever. Yet on the other hand, churches with this kind of teaching will be getting full-packed attendance because this kind of doctrine is what people who are unholy, lukewarm, lax and complacent looks for in a church.
If the "Lake of Fire" is indeed God as some claim to be, and if sinners and devils will be thrown in the lake of Fire which is God Himself, a consuming fire, according to the teaching, then it follows that all the wicked and all the demons in hell will receive eternal life as well. Could you imagine spending eternity with the Devil and his angels and all the wicked in the new heaven and earth? That would be an unending chaos and confusion. But our God is a "God of Order". He is not a God of confusion. There will be a literal "
How can anyone teach that there will be no more "
REVELATION 20:10-14
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
REVELATION 19: 20 -
"And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

APOSTLE PAUL'S ADMONITION
---------------------------------------------
Finally, Apostle Paul (a type of the prophet) admonishes Timothy (a type of the five-fold ministry) to take note of the following advice:
II TIMOTHY 4:2-4 - "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will NOT endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away [their] ears from the TRUTH, and shall be turned unto FABLES."
And in the book of Acts, it say, ACTS 20:29-30- "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them."
GALATIANS 1:8-9- "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
Rev. William Branham as well, the messenger of this age, cautioned us against false teaching saying, "No matter how sincere, how educated, how smart, how true it sounds, how reasonable it sounds, if it's contrary to the Word of this hour, God will have nothing to do with it." (ANOINTED ONES AT END TIME JEFF.IN 65-0725M)
Let us not, therefore, be guilty of such perversions. Shalom!

"UNTIL TODAY, the Message is still "riding its trail again" through tapes, through MP3's and through an anointed 5-fold ministry meant to equip the Bride throughout all the world"
ReplyDeleteNowhere did Bro Branham ride the trail in his entire ministry via tapes and mp3's. It was through demonstration of the Holy Ghost. So we are looking for another one mightier than the first one the third pull ministry.
I haven't seen a five fold ministry in operation. Show us one Apostle, Prophet Evangelist Teacher under the message of Malachi 4, just like the book of Acts.
