William Branham Quote of the Day

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy and did run to bring his disciples word. (Matthew 28:1-8)

God settled the sin problem there at Calvary; that’s where the debt was paid. When this Adam, Second Adam died, He paid the debt of sin for the human race.

And the world put Him in a tomb, and sealed Him up in that tomb. And they would do the same today. They are trying to do the same today. I don’t want you to miss this. The world is trying (and will get worse all the time) to seal Christ back in the tomb again. They’re trying to make Him a historical God, One that walked in days [past], and give power to disciples to heal the sick, and to cast out devils.

But what did they do? As soon as they thought they had got rid of Him, just like Cain did when he thought he got rid of Abel, they sealed Him in a tomb and put Him in there. And today they’re trying to keep Christ in a tomb. But, oh, what an Easter morning did. An Easter morning ruined all of their theology. And when an Easter morning came for a people, a Church here, nineteen hundred years later, and it ruined their theology. He’s not dead; He’s alive forevermore.

They cannot keep Him in no tomb. You can put Him in a Methodist tomb, or a Baptist tomb, or a Presbyterian tomb, or whatever you to. But He raised out of that tomb and is alive today. I had a Baptist tomb, and you might’ve had a Methodist tomb, but one day Jesus rose from there, from a historical God to a living, present God, alive forevermore.

Something has taken place on that Easter morning. It was a Seal, a satisfied Seal. They took Him and put Him in the tomb, and put a Roman seal up on top of it, but when that hour arose when that hour come. He stayed there for a while; it’s true.

He stayed there for those three days and nights. But on that set time which the Scripture said (Hallelujah.), on the time when He said, “Destroy this body, and on the third day I’ll raise it up,” Then there’s nothing can stop that Scripture; it’s got to come to pass. And that seal was broken, and He rose up, the same Jesus, alive again forevermore.
