What are the seven Trumpets?

INTRODUCTION

As the Seven Seals were revealed to Jesus’ Gentile Bride for her deliverance today, there are also Seven Trumpets meant to deliver Israel and to call her back to the Feast of Atonement. These blowing of seven trumpets were first observed in Joshua 6:4-16, but are given again in the Book of Revelation Chapter 8 and 9 for a parallelism to what Israel will do in these last days. Have these seven trumpets sounded already?

The “Feast of Trumpets” is one of the feast days of the Lord as outlined by God through His prophet Moses in the Book of LEVITICUS Chapter 23. This feast comes right after the Feast of Pentecost and just before the Feast of Atonement. The Biblical Israelites never moved without the trumpet sounding. Trumpets are always needed to activate the Jews.

Trumpets had to be sounded to call back the Jews to their homeland in order for them to be able to prepare for the coming “Feast of Atonement” – the revealing of the Messiah to the 144,000 elect Jews.

WHAT THOSE “TRUMPETS” SIGNIFY

A ‘blowing of trumpet” in Israel may signify any of these four things: (1) A Holy Convocation, (2) A call to Assembly and Journey (3) a Call to War or Battle, and (4) A call to a Solemnity or Worship.

1 . A HOLY CONVOCATION
LEVITICUS 23:24 – “Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.”

2. CALLING OF THE ASSEMBLY AND JOURNEYING

NUMBERS 10:2 – “Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.”

3. GOING TO WAR OR BATTLE

NUMBERS 10:9 – “And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.”

4. SOLEMNITY AND WORSHIP

NUMBERS 10:10– “Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I [am] the LORD your God.”

ISRAEL, BLINDED FOR A SEASON

The Bible tells us that Israel has been blinded by God from the true Gospel of Jesus Christ for the Gentile Bride’s sake. God will call a Bride for Jesus Christ out of the Gentile ages to go into the wedding supper of the Lamb before the Gospel can ever come back to Israel again. After this Bride of Christ had been gathered from the seven church ages within a span of almost 2000 years, she will be caught away in the rapture. Israel’s blindness will then be exposed to the truth that Jesus Christ is their true and real Messiah.

Apostle Paul confirms this mystery in ROMANS 11:25-28, “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers’ sakes.”

THE “FEAST OF TRUMPETS” COMES RIGHT AFTER THE “FEAST OF PENTECOST”

Let us take note that the celebration of the Feast of TRUMPETS comes right after the very Feast of PENTECOST. This shows us that after the Seven Church Ages (7 x 7 = 49) will be the 50th or the “Jubillee” for the nation of Israel – a time for the seven trumpet blowing.

Here are some quotes from Reverend William Branham pertaining to this truth:

“Frankly, it was fifty days from the—from the—from the Feast of Pentecost to the Feast of the Atonement, was fifty days. Now, fifty days is exactly seven sabbaths. And seven sabbaths is the seven church years—church ages. Get it?” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS; JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

“And between the feast of Pentecost and the feast of Trumpets there was a long period of time, exactly fifty days between Pentecost and the feast of the Trumpets. And fifty days, which Pentecost means “fifty”; and it was the sheafwaving, or the in-gathering, the firstfruits of the harvest was brought in. And we see that it was in type back there with the natural firstfruits, representing the firstfruits of the Holy Spirit to be poured out upon the people. And we find out then that them fifty days was received by the Gentiles, which God called from the Gentiles a people for His Name—the feast of the Pentecost. And we have been going through that long feast of Pentecost. Now, actually from the fifty days would be exactly seven sabbaths. And seven sabbaths represented the seven church ages to be called in the time of the Pentecostal— feast of Pentecost, to call a people from the Gentiles for His Name. Now, at the end of these seven Sabbaths which has been, there was to be the Day of Atonement, which was the Seven Trumpets. And the Seven Trumpets was to call a day of mourning back for the sacrifice or the atonement. And we find out then that Israel—the Seven Trumpets pertained only to Israel.” (RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY title JEFF.IN V-5 N-1 64-0726M)

“The atonement day followed the trumpet. Now—now, the FIFTY DAYS of the TRUMPETS for us symbolize when the trumpet sounded at PENTECOST, which was fifty days. Now—now—now, after this, the Jews rejected that. Now the Trumpets is to call them back to that atonement (See?), the atonement they rejected. And they rejected, so our eyes could be opened; theirs was closed. And during this time, these Seals opened up and the—the—the Trumpets blowed. And now, in the blowing of the Trumpets, just before the Messiah comes, ‘cause they’ve got to be in Palestine. And you remember God had to harden Pharaoh’s heart to run them out of Egypt; and He hardened Stalin, Mussolini, and all that to get them back into the promised land, where the one hundred and forty-four thousand’s supposed to be. And now, for the first time for thousands of years, twenty-five hundred years, that Israel is a nation with its own flag, own army own—and it—considered in the—in the U.N. First time it’s been… The oldest flag that ever flew on earth, at this time flies again. The five—six-point star of David. He said He’d lift that ensign in the last days, when she’d be coming back. We’re at the end.” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M )

“Now, the Jews has been blinded, waiting all this time, while the Pentecostal firstfruits has been poured out upon the church. And we’ve come down through the martyr ages, and down through the reformer ages, and now in the callingout age, three sections, same Spirit, like Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, same One. See? But seven church ages, being seven sabbaths, exactly seven sabbaths from the—from the Pentecostal jubilee trumpet—a Pentecostal jubilee feast, until—the waving of the sheaf, and then the Pentecostal jubilee. And then from the jubilee to the atonement is seven sabbaths, fifty days. And at the end of the fifty days is—the atonement is made. You get it?” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF “THE SEVEN TRUMPETS”, ACCORDING TO THE TEACHINGS OF REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM

1 . THE SEVEN TRUMPETS SOUNDED UNDER THE SIXTH SEAL

“Notice, the very first trumpet sound, blood, fire, hail, and everything scatter the ground. See? What was He doing? Bringing Israel out of spiritual Egypt (See?) back into his homeland. Now, let me say this right here, that every trumpet that blowed, blowed under the SIXTH SEAL. And we’ll get to it in a few minutes where we caught the seal there. ALL the TRUMPETS sounded under the Sixth Seal, because the Seventh Seal there was silence. No one knew; that was the minute or hour that Christ would come, as He revealed it to us. But every TRUMPET sounded under the Sixth Seal, under the PERSECUTION of the JEWS.” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N- 16 64-0719M)

2. THE SEVEN TRUMPETS PERTAIN TO THE PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS

“And He revealed to me them that SEVEN TRUMPETS sounded under the Sixth Seal, and I’ve done preached it, supernaturally. See? It’s the hand of God, the whole thing. It pertains to Israel; and we picked it up under the Sixth Seal, you all who have that, how the persecution of the Jews…” (RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY title JEFF IN V-5 N-1 640726M)

“Now, they have been scattered, blinded, gathered, and are far into the third day. You see it? They were SCATTERED from Palestine throughout the world. They were BLINDED to reject the Messiah. And now they have been GATHERED in their homeland, ready for the Trumpets to recognize the Atonement. As the Bible said, when they receive it and find Him with the nail scars (after the church is taken), and they say, “Where did You get these scars?” He said, “In the house of My friends.” And He said they would separate, each family, and would cry and weep for days like a family that lost their only son. And remember, that FEAST of Trumpets was to do that—to weep, mourn for the killed Sacrifice; and they had rejected It. They’re in their land. They were scattered, blinded, and now gathered. And it was all under that SIXTH Seal their Seven TRUMPETS sounded to gather them together.” (RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY title JEFF.IN V-5 N-1 64-0726M)

3. WILLIAM BRANHAM’S MINISTRY (Malachi 4:5-6 & Rev. 10:7) APPEARS IN BETWEEN THE 6th TRUMPET AND THE 7th TRUMPET

“And BETWEEN the SIXTH Trumpet and the SEVENTH Trumpet, there is a prophet to appear before the Gentiles to call the people back to the original Pentecostal doctrine; and the two witnesses of Revelations 11 appear to the Jews to send them to Jesus, while the Church is being taken up—all of them prophets. Amen.” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

4. THE “SEVENTH TRUMPET” PERTAINS TO THE COMING OF MOSES AND ELIJAH OF REV. 11 BACK FOR THEIR MINISTRY TO THE 144,000 JEWS

“Now, as soon as this Church, the Bride is drawed together, she’s taken up; in that mystery of the Seventh Seal, or the Seventh Seal, the mystery going. And the JEWS is called by the mystery of the SEVENTH TRUMPET, which is TWO PROPHETS, Elijah and Moses. And they come back, and there’s where the Pentecostals is all mixed up. They’re looking for something to happen, and the Church is done gone, and that’s to the Jews.”  (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

“Now, these two prophets, what will they do? It’s Moses and Elijah. They’ll rise on the scene. They’ll tell those Jews their mistake. And out of that Jewish bunch that’s there now to be the 144,000, God will call with these prophets… What is it? The Spirit of Elijah off of this Gentile church will just continue right on into that Jewish church, go right on in and call Moses with him. Hallelujah. You see it? And he’ll preach the same message of Pentecost to those Jews, that they rejected the Messiah. Amen. You see it? It’ll be the same Pentecostal message that these Jews will preach right over to them. And they’ll hate those Jews so bad till they’ll kill them. And they were hated by all nations, and in the midst of the week… Because that they’d raised up a great powerful 144,000… They had the Holy Ghost, and brother, you talk about doing miracles; they did them. They stopped the heavens, and it didn’t rain in the days of their prophecy, smote the earth with plagues as oft they wanted to. They give plagues and everything else. They’ll give them Romans a hard way to go. But finally they’ll be killed. Our God is a terrible God when He’s angry. But remember, that’s over in the seventieth week, and the church in glory. Amen. The wedding supper’s going on. Yes. Now, notice. That’s where we seen her coming back to the millennial temple over here at the end of the Jewish age—the anointed. Here He come riding on a white horse; those followed Him on white horses (horse, powers), dressed in white, blood—or vesture dipped in blood, wrote on Him, “The Word of God.” He cometh, the mighty Conqueror (Yes, sir.) to set up the millennium—coming to the temple. Glory. There He meets that 144,000.”  (SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL title JEFF.IN DA 89-141 61-0806)

5. THE “SIXTH TRUMPET” SOUNDED DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR: IT WAS THE PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS UNDER HITLER, STALIN, AND MUSSOLINNI

“And NOTICE what happens UNDER that SIXTH TRUMPET . They were TURNED LOOSE on the JEWS , the PERSECUTION of the JEWS. Supernatural devils, nearly two thousand years, then LOOSED by STALIN, HITLER, upon the JEWS . You say, “Well, that isn’t Roman.” It’s the same spirit that done the same things it did to the Christians in the old pagan Roman days (Now, watch the natural Israel and the spiritual Church now, as we separate it here.) turned loose on the Jews. You remember, under the Sixth Seal how every one of those martyrs are calling— according to the Word of God receive robes? It was given to them by the grace, because they’re blinded that they can’t see the Gospel, that this people might be called out of the Gentiles for the—the Bride. They were given robes; the Bible said so under that TRUMPET, them JEWS, who absolutely is against Christ and everything. The reason they are, is because the Bible said they’re blinded; and they were blinded for your sake.” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

“Look how God hardened Pharaoh’s heart to run them out and give them the promise. Look how God hardened Hitler’s heart. Look how hardened Stalin’s heart, Mussolini’s heart, running the JEW. And they had no nation. They’d been murdered and beat down. No wonder they said there, “Let His blood be upon us and our children.” It has been, but God will never forget them..” (GREAT COMING REVIVAL title CHICAGO IL 54-0718A)

“This has been the time of Pentecostal feast. The JEWS has laid silent; they rejected it. Now, they’ve got to be called back to the Atonement. We know WHO the ATONEMENT was; they didn’t. And the TRUMPET sound after the Pentecostal Jubilee calls the Jews together. Can’t you see how that TRUMPET of PERSECUTION under HITLER and them blasted, and the JEWS was forced to come together to fulfill the Scriptures? Now, you got it?” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 640719M)

“Notice, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DEMONS turned LOOSE upon those Jews, when they BURNED them, they crucified them; they put bubbles in their veins; they killed them till they had no more GAS to kill them with; and they SHOT them till they had no more bullets to shoot with; and they—and they done everything they could do. They cremated their bodies and everything, and hung them on fences, children and all, innocent people. Because they were JEWS, they were done that way. But God said He give each one of them a robe, undeserving as they was, but His grace to blind them so that we could see.” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M0)

6. TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DEMONS (REV. 9) TURNED LOOSE ON THE JEWS UNDER THE “SIXTH TRUMPET” THROUGH THE U.N. AND THE PAPAL ROMAN CHURCH

“Notice, quickly now, these supernatural DEMONS. Then under the—UNDER the AUSPICES of a UNITED NATIONS, united groups together, eastern and western… Just like the right and left foot of the image that Daniel saw, how they wouldn’t agree and mix with one another..” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS.title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

“Oh, my. Revelations 9:1, under the FIFTH TRUMPET their king… Notice (Revelations 9:1 now) the king of this great group of two hundred thousand horses. They had a king over them, and if we notice, it was a fallen star. “Why art thou fallen from heaven, Oh Lucifer?” … Their king was the king of the bottomless pit, Revelations 17:8- ”And the BEAST that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go into perdition: and they that dwell upon the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life of the—life—from the foundation of the world, when they beheld the beast which was, which is not, and which yet is.” See? Was, one POPE dies, another one ascends—beast which was, which is not, which is, which is not, which is, don’t change its order. Pope, same time, everything— everything has to go in the same system. And it shall come where? To the bottomless pits. And the Bible said here, that the LEADER of these fellows was from the bottomless pits, and that was their KING; and he sets with a TRIPLE CROWN and joining the Protestants with him.” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

7. THE PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS UNDER TITUS, THE ROMAN GENERAL IN A.D. 96, WAS ALREADY PART OF THE SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPETS

“At the Sixth Seal when it—when it opened, the PERSECUTION struck the JEWS in a LITERAL STANDPOINT.. (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

(Note: The SIXTH SEAL or the PERSECUTION of the Jews did not start after the rapture only nor during the tribulation period. Their literal persecution started in the time of General Titus who massacred the Jews in A.D. 70 – Author.) “They’ve been BOUND for two thousand years almost, almost two thousand years. Not exactly two thousand, ‘cause the ROMANS kept on going (that TITUS in A.D. 96 , and on down like that) to KILL the JEWS, the ROMANS. Who was it killed the Jews? Who was TITUS? A Roman general.

And the blood rolled out the gates down there, up to the—the… Slaughter them little women, children, and everything. Didn’t Ezekiel 9 say they’d do that? Go through the midst of the city and set a mark upon the people who sigh and cry, the—the Holy Spirit. And the rest of them, the slaughtering man come forth, that would been bound (“Hold ‘em. Hold ‘em.” until they went forth), and slaughtered everything that was in there. Little women—women, children, babies, and everything else, they were all slaughtered. Exactly, here it is again repeating itself. And here is that ecclesiastical system coming right back, smothering out, tramping out everything that’s called God. Oh, they got their systems, and organizations, and denominations, but that don’t have nothing to do with the Bible. They’ll tell you quick they don’t even believe in It.” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

“Now, remember, He was cut off: Messiah. Jews, God ceased to deal with them. They did not go any farther. Then they were SCATTERED by the Roman Empire. And have you noticed on my chart here… I want you to get this now and draw it. You notice here where I got the cross? That’s where they rejected. But the time extended out just a little bit farther on that. See? Why? Thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy—forty years later TITUS the Roman general destroyed Israel—Jerusalem, and scattered the people to all the world. You see, TITUS forty years later… So actually the Jewish time extended till the complete... God wasn’t dealing with them. He only dealt with them UNTIL they rejected Christ. Then when they crucified Christ, they cried, “Let His blood be upon us and our children,” and it’s been ever since. But before they got scattered… Listen. Oh, brother. Before they got all scattered to all the world, it taken God about forty years to tear up the temple and scatter them out to all the world. But God’s failed to deal with them anymore. God failed to deal with them anymore. He went dealing with the Gentile.” (SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL title JEFF.IN DA 89-141 61-0806)

“Now, you see, before Titus united the nations of his armies together, Israel united themselves together and banded themselves, that they would not believe Jesus to be the Messiah. They rejected Him, and turned Him out, and crucified Him. And then, when they rejected the salvation that was sent to them, they unite themselves together to do it. Now, hold that in mind: uniting themselves together to reject the message of the hour. They had to do that. And then when they did that, then the national sign come in. The nations begin to unite themselves together, and Titus brought this great army of Romans and Greeks, and compassed the walls of Jerusalem, penned those people in there now, and they starved to death. They eat the bark from the trees, Josephus, the great historian, tells us. And they eat the grass off the ground. They even boiled one another’s children and eat it (See?); as they were mad people. And then when finally Titus, he was setting back upon the hills, around Jerusalem there, and—and those people in there thought they were doing the will of God when they saw these armies marching in. They had refused to hear that Great Master, Lord Jesus, tell them that.” (UNITING TIME AND SIGN title JEFF.IN V -6 N-10 63-0818)

8. THE THREE WOES (World Wars 1,2,3) WERE A SERIES OF EVENTS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE “SEVEN TRUMPETS”

THE FIRST WORLD WAR TOOK PLACE UNDER THE FIFTH TRUMPET REVELATION 9:12 – One WOE is past; [and], behold, there come TWO WOES more hereafter.

“Now, “On four corners of the earth, holding the four winds.” In other words, here went the “winds blowing” in the wars and strife to come all over the world. When did that ever happen? Never until the FIRST WORLD WAR. “Holding the winds,” and they were striving, going in to take over. And now, here come another One. Now, if you’ll watch and refer that Angel, He’s the same Angel that come out in Ezekiel 9, when the men come from hinder their gates with slaughtering weapons and was going through Jerusalem to slaughter the Jews. You remember? He said, “Hold it. Hold it. Stop it, till you go through the city and put a mark on every forehead that sighs and cries for the abominations done in the city.” Is that right? Then after He did that, then He let them go in and slaughter. That was the persecution under Titus. Now, you see, he’s the same Angel come forth again, coming from the east, from where Jesus shall come, and He has the Seal of the living God. Glory.” (QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS title JEFF.IN COD 54-0103M)

“Now, when the First World War come, it took every Jew; they scattered to all the nations. Like the first Scripture that today was asked, how He would scattered them among all nations; there they all are. And here come the winds coming into Jerusalem, everywhere, a world war. And He said, “Hold. Stop it, until we have seal the servants of our God.” Other words, “We’re ganging them in from all the nations, everywhere, bringing them in, ‘cause we got to get them right in here to seal that hundred and forty-four thousand. Hold it.” Now, He said, “Hold the four winds until (in other words) we seal the servants of our God in their forehead (The servants, the Jews.).” John turned and said, “I seen a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed away.” Now, the winds all started in, and they would’ve covered the earth and the Battle of Armageddon would’ve took place in the First World War, but… And the World War I stopped on the eleventh month of the year, the eleventh day in the month, the eleventh hour in the day, that the eleventh-hour people could come in, the last call for the Jew. And he’s going to receive the same baptism of the Holy Ghost that they got back at the beginning back yonder at Pentecost, be baptized the same way, and everything, the eleventh-hour people moving in. He said, “Hold it now, until we have sealed.” ”How long You going to hold it?” ”Until we have sealed the servants of our God.” Now, we—we’re sealing the Gentiles; they’ve been sealed away, thousands times thousands through these persecutions and tribulations; they’re sealed away. But wait a minute, just a minute. Don’t let the per… Don’t let the time come till we seal these servants.” And he sealed a hundred and forty-four thousand. Then the winds was let loose again. Now, notice, and since the First World War there has constantly been a persecution against the Jew.” (QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS itle JEFF.IN COD 54-0103M)

”Now, the ANGELS were standing on the four corners of the earth, HOLDING the FOUR WINDS.” What does “WINDS” mean in the Bible, any you Bible interpreters here? “WINDS” means “WARS and STRIFE, TROUBLE.” When was the world all together going to WAR? One time since then, one time the whole world was at war; and that was WORLD WAR ONE, when all the NATIONS were marching together. And look what he said upon this world war time. All the angels coming forth, the destroying angel to destroy the world in a war… You get it? The Angels of God with destroying weapons, coming forth to destroy the world… And what did the Holy Spirit say? “HOLD the four winds (HOLD the world war until, this GLOBAL DESTRUCTION,), hold it until we have SEALED the servants of our God in their foreheads.” The Gentile never was a servant; the Jew’s a servant. And John recognized them every one: a hundred and forty-four thousand of the Jews.” (MARK OF CHRIST title LA.CA 55-0312)

“In Revelations the 7th chapter, the Angel went forth to destroy (four of them), and was to bring the whole world to destruction. God said, “Just a minute. HOLD the FOUR WINDS till we SEAL the servants of our God in their forehead.” And He carried the SEAL of the living God. The SEAL of the living God is the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:30 said, “Grieve NOT the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you’re SEALED until the day of your redemption.” Is that right?” (MARK OF THE BEAST title JEFF.IN  56-0715)

“Well, the—the TRUMPET sounded, and the—and the “Buy your Bonds,” and so forth, as we all remember it. We’ll go over and have this WORLD WAR, and we’ll settle it. And then they’ll organize. They organized what they called the League of Nations. And then there’s going to be a peace, eternal peace that’s all, no more WAR. In a merely little twenty years, we were right back in there again, just as hot as ever in another world war. See? Wars… Why? It’s greed, jealousy. See? As soon as Kaiser Wilhelm left Germany, then some fellow come in by the name of Adolf Hitler, an Austrian, and got those people’s minds all scattered up (which was demon inspired), that they could whip the world.” (VICTORY DAY title SIERRA VISTA AZ 63-0421)

9. THE “SEVEN TRUMPETS” IS TO CALL THE 144,000 JEWS BACK TO ISRAEL TO RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR TRUE MESSIAH

“I can show something happened in 1919, but that’s when that angel—the third angel’s message struck and the WOE went forth—exactly, but it wasn’t that— that was—when the war stopped in a mysterious way. We get that in the 7th chapter when we get to it—when we get to the 7th chapter. You all have heard me preach that many times, (See?) when the Angel’s message said, “Hold the four winds of the earth till we seal the Jews, the servants.” And now, they kept waiting till all the Gentile age had moved out, then when He come in, then—then He seals the Jews, the 144,000 receives the Holy Ghost. There’s the 144,000 sealed: Revelation 7 .” (GABRIEL’S INSTRUCT TO DANIEL title JEFF IN DA 1-44 61-0730M )

“Watch now. The ATONEMENT followed the TRUMPET sound. See? How beautiful. See? The atonement day followed the trumpet. Now—now, the fifty days of the trumpets for us symbolize when the trumpet sounded at Pentecost, which was fifty days. Now—now—now, after this, the Jews rejected that; now the Trumpets is to call them back to that atonement (See?), the atonement they rejected. And they rejected, so our eyes could be opened; theirs was closed. And DURING THIS TIME, these SEALS OPENED UP and the—the—the TRUMPETS BLOWED. And now, in the blowing of the Trumpets, just before the Messiah comes, ‘cause they’ve got to be in Palestine. And you remember God had to harden Pharaoh’s heart to run them out of Egypt; and He hardened Stalin, Mussolini, and all that to get them back into the promised land, where the one hundred and forty-four thousand’s supposed to be. And now, for the first time for thousands of years, twenty-five hundred years, that Israel is a nation with its own flag, own army own—and it—considered in the—in the U.N. First time it’s been… The oldest flag that ever flew on earth, at this time flies again. The five—six-point star of David. He said He’d lift that ensign in the last days, when she’d be coming back. We’re at the end. There’s just no doubt about it; we’re here.”  (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

10. THE “1ST, 2ND, 3RD AND 4TH TRUMPETS BLOWED & SOUNDED WITHIN THESE LAST 2000 YEARS: IT INCLUDES THE PURGING OF 1/3 OF THE EARTH’S NATURAL RESOURCES THROUGH MAN-MADE DESTRUCTION BY SCIENCE, HYBRID FOOD, NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND POLLUTION

We can read through all of the world’s history and find out that all known high-intensity earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, forest fires, and other epidemics had happened in our generation – the LAST generation. Typhoons, tornados, global warming, floodings, hurricanes, cases of ebola virus, AIDS, bird flu, and other pandemics came to existence only during this last generation. These are the results of the “SOUNDING of the first FOUR TRUMPETS”… WE HAVE ARRIVED.

A SCRIPTURAL ACCOUNT OF THE SEVEN TRUMPETS of REVELATION CHAPTERS 8, 9, and 11.

As I present the following Scriptures, please take note that the sounding of the FIRST “FOUR TRUMPETS” applies to NATURAL DISTURBANCES and CALAMITIES occurring and affecting our ENVIRONMENT ONLY. IT does not touch on HUMAN LIFE being affected. IT only HAMPERED MAN’S SUPPORT SYSTEM and his NATURAL RESOURCES such as the sources of FOOD, VEGETATION, FORESTS, WATER, MARINE LIFE, AIR AND SUNLIGHT. They ONLY AFFECTED “ONE-THIRD” of MAN’S DOMAIN ON EARTH.

But the ”FIFTH and the SIXTH TRUMPETS” pertain TO HUMAN VEXATION, PHYSICAL TORMENTS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESSES IN BOTH NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL ASPECTS OF MEN’S LIVES BROUGHT ABOUT BY DEMONS OF SCIENCE, EDUCATION, DRUGS, AND ALCOHOL … AN AGE OF NEUROSIS.

THE “SEVENTH AND LAST TRUMPET” PERTAINS TO GOD’S WRATH POURED UPON ALL MEN WHO HAD NOT THE “SEAL” OF GOD. IT PERTAINS TO THE “GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD” – THIS IS A TIME OF MAN’S EXTREME TORTURE AND SUFFERING, PHYSICALLY, NATURALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, DUE TO FINAL APOSTASY AND MAN’S REJECTION OF THE GOSPEL. The SEVENTH TRUMPET will sound and take place once RAPTURE IS OVER.

OUTLINING THE SEVEN TRUMPETS:

Here’s a run-down of the seven trumpets as they sound and the resulting effects they bring on earth:

1. 1ST TRUMPET – 1/3 OF VEGETATION AND GREEN LIFE DISTURBED

REVELATION 8:6, 7 –“And the seven angels which had the SEVEN TRUMPETS prepared themselves to sound. The FIRST ANGEL sounded, and there followed HAIL and FIRE mingled with BLOOD, and they were cast upon the EARTH: and the THIRD PART of TREES was BURNT up, and all green GRASS was BURNT up.”

This INITIAL TRIBULATION pertains to the effects of DEFORESTATION, ILLEGAL LOGGING AND CUTTING OF FOREST TREES. It includes the unabated dumping of CHEMICAL WASTE in the environment thereby DESTROYING OUR VEGETATION and natural green life. IT also INCLUDES WILDERNESS FIRES, which start the earth’s deterioration.

2. 2ND TRUMPET – MARINE LIFE DISTURBED

REVELATION 8:8, 9– “And the SECOND ANGEL sounded, and as it were a GREAT MOUNTAIN burning with FIRE was cast into the SEA: and the THIRD PART of the SEA became BLOOD; And the THIRD PART of the CREATURES which were in the SEA, and had life, died; and the third part of the SHIPS were destroyed.”

This INITIAL TRIBULATION pertains to the destruction of our MARINE LIFE and RESOURCES due TO CHEMICAL WASTES, NUCLEAR TESTS AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL WARFARE TESTS IN THE OCEAN. Destruction of sea creatures includes DYNAMITE FISHING, OIL and chemical SPILLAGE IN THE SEA, THEREBY, DESTROYING OUR CORALS AND A HUGE PORTION OF THE EARTH’S RESOURCES OF MARINE LIFE. SHIPS CARRYING HARMFUL CHEMICALS which were destroyed by war contaminate our seas.

3. 3RD TRUMPET – WATER ON EARTH POLLUTED

REVELATION 8:10-11 – “And the THIRD ANGEL sounded, and there fell a great STAR from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of WATERS; And the name of the star is called WORMWOOD: and the THIRD PART of the WATERS became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made BITTER.”

The third trumpet pertains to THE SHORTAGE ON CLEAN AND PURE WATER ON EARTH DUE TO WATER POLLUTANTS DUMPED IN OUR RIVERS AND LAKES – This MILD TRIBULATION HAS triggered the ADVENT OF THE BOTTLED/ MINERAL/ DISTILLED WATER INDUSTRIES

4. 4TH TRUMPET – GLOBAL WARMING

REVELATION 8:12, 13 – “And the FOURTH ANGEL sounded, and the third part of the SUN was smitten, and the third part of the MOON, and the third part of the STARS; so as the third part of them was DARKENED, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!”

This INITIALLY pertains to GLOBAL WARMING or the GREEHOUSE EFFECT WHICH WILL FINALLY RESULT TO the BURNING OF THE EARTH by A NUCLEAR BLAST. The fourth trumpet also refers to the MAJOR ECLIPSES OF THE MOON, and recent ALIGNMENT OF PLANETS. CITIES are darkened due to AIR POLLUTION caused by FACTORY WASTES, CAR EMISSIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN THE AIR ALONG WITH OTHER HARMFUL CHEMICALS emitted by MACHINERIES AND FACTORIES.

5. 5TH TRUMPET – FIFTH DIMENSION DISEASES

REVELATION 9:1-12: 1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the BOTTOMLESS PIT.

• 2. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the SUN and the air were DARKENED by reason of the SMOKE of the pit.
• 3. And there came out of the smoke LOCUSTS upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the SCORPIONS of the earth have power.
• 4. And it was commanded them that they should NOT hurt the GRASS of the earth, neither any GREEN thing, neither any TREE; but only those MEN which have NOT the SEAL of God in their foreheads.
• 5. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be TORMENTED five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
• 6. And in those days shall men SEEK DEATH, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and DEATH shall flee from them.
• 7. And the shapes of the LOCUSTS [were] like unto HORSES prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their FACES [were] as the faces of MEN.
• 8. And they had hair as the HAIR of women, and their TEETH were as [the teeth] of LIONS.
• 9. And they had BREASTPLATES, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their WINGS [was] as the sound of CHARIOTS of many horses running to battle.
• 10. And they had TAILS like unto SCORPIONS, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men five months.
• 11. And they had a KING over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] ABADDON, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name APOLLYON.
• 12.One WOE is past; [and], behold, there come TWO WOES more hereafter.

[ Note: It was the League of Nations that stopped the First WOE (1st World War )]

The Bottomless pit is opened here in the fifth trumpet and it releases demons of torment through incurable diseases and psychological disturbances. Physical corruption of men’s mind brought about by hybrid food, abuse of drugs, use of sedatives and alcohol will have resulted to horrendous hallucinations and appalling psychological distress. Some people will resort to Euthanasia or MercyKilling (legalized suicide) just because they will not be able to tolerate pain and sufferings brought about by these tormenting demons in both physical and spiritual realms.

Here are some quotes from God’s prophet pertaining to these events:

“Did you read this here—this month’s “Reader’s Digest” that men and women of this day, little girls from twenty or twenty-five years old is in menopause; that you go through the change of life in the middle-age of life, according to science, between twenty and twenty-five. It used to be around thirty or thirty-five in my age; in my mother’s age, a woman never struck menopause till she was forty or forty-five. What is it? It’s through science, and the food, the hybrids that’s perverted the whole human body till we become a bunch of—of a mass of corruption. Well, if the physical being is corrupted, isn’t the brain cell in that physical being? Now, watch the spirit following it. There’ll come a time in the Name of the Lord, that people will go completely insane. The Bible said so. They’ll scream and holler: great hideous things in their imaginary mind… The radios and things, or television programs are producing it. There’ll be such things as ants raise up on the earth that’ll be as high as fourteen trees. There’ll be… A bird will fly across the earth with wings four or five miles across, and people seeing them; they’ll scream and holler and cry for mercy; but it’ll be the plague. Wait till I preach on those plagues opening up.”(KNOWETH IT NOT title JEFF.IN V -2 N-10 65-0815)

“The whole human race is rotten. Well, if them physical beings of our body is tearing down like that from eating hybrid foods, tensions, that rotten it, does not that also rot the brain cell? Then we can see how women can get on the street naked. We can see how they can speed through the—the streets at a hundred and twenty miles an hour, all these things. It’s come to a place where the whole nation, the whole world, not only this nation, but everywhere, mentally gone.” (CHRIST REVEALED IN HIS OWN WORD; JEFF.IN V-4 N-10 65-0822M)

“And then when we open up those, the Lord willing, on those Seven Vials and show those hideous things… Men will be so insane after while, till they’ll imagine they’re seeing ants the size of a mountain. They’ll be tormenting women, be locusts come upon the earth with long hair to torment women who cut theirs off, hair like women hanging down, and long teeth like a lion, stingers in their tail like a scorpion, and so forth, to torment men upon the earth. But then it’ll be too late to do anything about it. You get right now. See? Tormenting…” (CHRIST REVEALED IN HIS OWN WORD; JEFF.IN V-4 N-10 65-0822M)

“Education, and the educational system, science, and civilization is of the devil. It’s the devil’s civilization. The Bible said so. And our civilization that’s coming on will have nothing to do with this civilization at all. It’s nothing of it at all. It’ll be a different civilization. Into this civilization and this scientific world we got… More science—scientific we get, further we go into death, things, traps to kill, and everything. In that new civilization there’ll be no death, no sickness, sorrow, or no pain. See? There won’t be none in there. So this civilization will have to be destroyed, because it’s of the We find out that in Genesis 4 that Cain’s people started civilization, building towns, and cities, and so forth, and instruments of music, and become in science. And the people got further away from God, yet religious.” (RAPTURE THE.title YUMA AZ V-5 N-14 65-1204)

“The Tree of Knowledge produced clever men; men of renown. But their ways are the ways of death. God’s people are simple but spiritual minded, leaning toward God and nature, calmly tilling the soil, caring for truth rather than wealth. The seed of the serpent has brought tremendous commerce, wonderful inventions, but with it all comes death. Their gunpowder and atomic bombs kill in war; and in peace time their mechanical inventions, such as the car, kill even more in a time of peace than do the inventions of war destroy in times of trouble. Death and destruction are the fruits of her labors.” (107-2 EPHESIAN CHURCH AGE – CHURCH AGE BOOK CPT.3)

“Well now, it is strange; but in this age of plenty and opportunity, when everyone has so much and there is so much more to be had, what with all the inventions to do our work and so many things to give us pleasure, SUDDENLY, we find mental illness taking such a toll as to alarm the nation. When everybody ought to be happy, with really nothing to be unhappy about, millions are taking sedatives at night, pep pills in the morning, rushing to doctors, entering institutions, and trying to drown out unknown fears by alcohol. Yes, this age boasts of its tremendous stores of worldly goods, but the people are less happy than ever. This age boasts of its spiritual attainments, but the people are less sure of themselves than ever. This age boasts of better moral values and it is more corrupt than any age since the flood. It talks about its knowledge and science, but it is fighting a losing battle in all fields, for the human mind and soul and spirit cannot comprehend or keep abreast with all the changes that have come upon the earth. In one generation we have gone all the way from the horse and buggy age to the space age, and we are proud and boastful about it; but inside is a dark void cavern that is crying out in torment, and WITHOUT A KNOWN REASON men’s hearts are failing for fear and the world is so darkened that this age could well be called the age of neurotics. It boasts, but it cannot back it up. It cries peace, and there is no peace. It cries that it has a great amplitude of all things, but it keeps burning with desire like an unsatisfied fire! “There is no peace,” saith my God, “to the wicked”. (346-1 LAODICEAN CHURCH AGE – CHURCH AGE BOOK CPT.9)

Here’s a better description of our age, as one anonymous writer puts it:

We have taller buildings but shorter tempers;
Wider freeways but narrower viewpoints;
We spend more but still have less;
We buy more but enjoy it less;
Some have bigger houses yet smaller families;
Some have smaller houses but very big families;
We have more conveniences, yet less time;
We have more degrees but less sensibilities; We have more knowledge but less judgment;
We have more experts, yet more problems;
We have more gadgets but less satisfaction; More medicine, yet less wellness; We take more vitamins but see fewer results.
People drink too much; smoke too much; drive too fast; Get too angry quickly; watch too much TV, but pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values; We sign more contracts only to realize fewer profits; We talk too much; love too seldom and lie too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; We’ve added years to life, not life to years.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; We’ve done larger things, but not better things; We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul;
We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice;
We write more, but learn less;
Plan more, but accomplish less;
We learned to rush, but not to wait;
We have more weapons, but less peace;
Higher incomes, but lower morals; More acquaintances, but fewer friends; More effort, but less success.
We’ve become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; Tall men, but short character;
Steep in profits, but shallow relationships.
These are times of world peace, but domestic warfare;
More leisure and less fun;
Higher postage, but slower mail; More kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorces; These are times of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, cartridge living,

Throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies and pills that do everything from cheer, to prevent, quiet or kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stock room. Indeed, we are in neurotic times!

6. 6TH TRUMPET – THE TORMENT OF 200,000 THOUSAND DEVILS

REVELATION 9:13-21 – 13 “And the SIXTH ANGEL sounded, and I heard a voice from the FOUR HORNS of the golden altar which is before God, 14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, LOOSE the FOUR ANGELS which are bound in the great river EUPHRATES. 15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to SLAY the third part of MEN. 16 And the number of the ARMY of the HORSEMEN [were] TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the HORSES in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses [were] as the HEADS of LIONS; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three was the third part of MEN killed, by the FIRE, and by the SMOKE, and by the BRIMSTONE, which issued out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails [were] like unto SERPENTS, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these PLAGUES yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not WORSHIP devils, and IDOLS of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their MURDERS, nor of their SORCERIES, nor of their FORNICATION, nor of their THEFTS”.

200,000  THOUSAND HORSEMEN, according to Brother Branham, ARE NOT LITERAL HORSEMEN. These ARE SUPERNATURAL DEVILS OF PERSECUTION set LOOSED to PERSECUTE the JEWS under the INFLUENCE of the OLD ROMAN Pagan Empire THEN through Hitler, Mussolinni, Stalin during World War 2… AND NOW – these destroying spirits are riding through PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS and MUSLIM EXTREMISTS going all the way to the Battle of Armagedon to persecute the JEWS.

“Note, in Revelations the 9th chapter and the 13th verse (Now notice real close.), under the Sixth Trumpet (Revelations 9:13), under the Sixth Trumpet, note, there was two hundred thousand horsemen that had been bound in the river of Euphrates was turned loose under the Sixth Trumpet. Now, there’s not two hundred thousand horsemen in the world, but there was two hundred thousand horsemen. Notice it. (I want you just jot it down, so you can read it.) They wasn’t natural horses. They breathed fire, and they had breastplates of jasper, and—and they had tails, and the end of the tail looked like a serpent, a snake’s head on the end of it, stinging. See? It was spiritual horses, spiritual devils, chargers, that had been bound in Euphrates all these years, supernatural devils. What was it? The old Roman Empire being revived, the persecution of the Jews. And they’d been bound for nearly two thousand years at the river Euphrates, can’t cross to the promise, a religious sect that was trying to get to the other side. Euphrates, you know, come through Eden. But they were bound there, two hundred thousand devils of persecution.” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

“And notice what happens under that Sixth Trumpet. They were turned loose on the Jews, the persecution of the Jews. Supernatural devils, nearly two thousand years, then loosed by Stalin, Hitler, upon the Jews. You say, “Well, that isn’t Roman.” It’s the same spirit that done the same things it did to the Christians in the old pagan Roman days (THE DARK INQUISITION)  (Now, watch the natural Israel and the spiritual Church now, as we separate it here.) turned loose on the Jews.” (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS title JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

7. THE 7TH TRUMPET – THE COMING OF MOSES AND ELIJAH BACK TO ISRAEL TO RESTORE THE 144,000 JEWS BACK TO THE GOSPEL

REVELATION 11:3-14 – 3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 14 The SECOND WOE is past; [and], behold, the THIRD WOE cometh quickly.”

This event pertains to the coming of Moses and Elijah back to Israel to call out the 144,000 Jews (12,000 from each of the 12 tribes) back to the Atonement – Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. This seventh trumpet will sound during the Great Tribulation Period. Notice that the second woe (World War 2) is past, and behold the third woe (World War 3) cometh quickly. It is a time between now and the Great Tribulation period. This event will transpire after the Bride is gone in the rapture and the Tribulation period sets in so that the 144,000  Jews will be called out by these two prophets. They will all be purged by the AntiChrist Beast of Rome for their martyrdom. The great earthquake will also take place during this time and will cause the Mount of Olives to be pushed up by a volcanic eruption so that the Temple of the Lord can be established on top of that mountain comes the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ and His Bride.

Quotes from Brother Branham:

“Now, as soon as this Church, the Bride is drawed together, she’s taken up; in that mystery of the Seventh Seal, or the Seventh Seal, the mystery going. And the JEWS is called by the mystery of the SEVENTH TRUMPET, which is TWO PROPHETS, Elijah and Moses. And they come back, and there’s where the Pentecostals is all mixed up. They’re looking for something to happen, and the Church is done gone, and that’s to the Jews.”  (FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M)

“Now, these two prophets, what will they do? It’s Moses and Elijah. They’ll rise on the scene. They’ll tell those Jews their mistake. And out of that Jewish bunch that’s there now to be the 144,000, God will call with these prophets… What is it? The Spirit of Elijah off of this Gentile church will just continue right on into that Jewish church, go right on in and call Moses with him. Hallelujah. You see it? And he’ll preach the same message of Pentecost to those Jews, that they rejected the Messiah. Amen. You see it? It’ll be the same Pentecostal message that these Jews will preach right over to them. And they’ll hate those Jews so bad till they’ll kill them. And they were hated by all nations, and in the midst of the week… Because that they’d raised up a great powerful 144,000… They had the Holy Ghost, and brother, you talk about doing miracles; they did them. They stopped the heavens, and it didn’t rain in the days of their prophecy, smote the earth with plagues as oft they wanted to. They give plagues and everything else. They’ll give them Romans a hard way to go. But finally they’ll be killed. Our God is a terrible God when He’s angry. But remember, that’s over in the seventieth week, and the church in glory. Amen. The wedding supper’s going on. Yes. Now, notice. That’s where we seen her coming back to the millennial temple over here at the end of the Jewish age—the anointed. Here He come riding on a white horse; those followed Him on white horses (horse, powers), dressed in white, blood—or vesture dipped in blood, wrote on Him, “The Word of God.” He cometh, the mighty Conqueror (Yes, sir.) to set up the millennium—coming to the temple. Glory. There He meets that 144,000.” (SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL title JEFF.IN DA 89-141 61-0806)

“And have power over the waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with plagues as oft as they will... What is it? What can bring these things but the Word? They can do nature anyway they want to. Here it is. They’re the one who brings on this Sixth Seal. They uncover and open it up. It’s the power of God to interrupt nature. See, the Sixth Seal, is completely an interruption of nature. Do you get it now? There’s your Seal. Who does it? It’s the prophets the other side of the rapture. With the power of God, the Word of God, they just condemn nature. They can send earthquakes, turn the moon into blood, the sun can go down or anything at their command. Amen. There you are. There you are. See? See how the Seals opened down there in the church age, how it showed the martyrs? And now here’s these two prophets standing here with the Word of God to do anything to nature they want to, and they shake the earth. And it shows exactly who does it. It’s Moses and Elijah, ‘cause there’s their ministry reimpersonated again: both men. Oh, my. Do you see it now?
See what the Sixth Seal is? It’s those prophets.” (SIXTH SEAL THE.title JEFF.IN  63-0323)

RELATED SCRIPTURE: THE SIXTH SEAL

REVELATION 6:12-17-  12 “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”

MORE QUOTES ON THE “SIXTH SEAL” FROM REV. WILLIAM BRANHAM:

“Now, we find out also in this that the Sixth Seal now being opened, it was for a threefold purpose. Now, here was the purposes: The first thing was that the sleeping virgins had to go through the tribulation period for purification. She had to be purged of her sins of unbelief and rejecting the message. This she was done in the tribulation period. We see they wind up over here in Revelations 7, between the 6 th and 7th chapter here, that she had been purged, and she’d been given her robes. Now, she’s not the Bride, but it’s the church, the pure people that—that—that didn’t have the opportunity, maybe, to receive the message, or in some way that they were blinded by these false prophets, and they—they didn’t get a chance, and yet they’re really sincere in heart, and God knows their heart, and here they’re purged during this time. You notice that another purging time; that’s for Israel when she gathers. That’s the second fold. God purges Israel in the tribulation period. Out of the millions that’ll gather there, there’ll be a selected one hundred and forty-four thousand, and they will be purged also. God’s purging Israel. Notice, there is a whole earth is to be purged. There will be such a thing that the moon, stars, and all nature will be purged. You see what it is? The earth is renewing herself, being purged, getting ready for the millennium. The millennium’s coming up. And see, everything that’s got any filth in it is to be purged during the Sixth Seal.” (SEVENTH SEAL THE title JEFF.IN 63-0324E)

“Look what taken place, the—the earth quaked; the sun went black; and the moon wouldn’t give its light; and the stars shook and fell; and, why, everything happened (See?) right at the time of the opening of this Sixth Seal. That’s when it takes place, right immediately after the announcing of those martyrs. See? The martyrs had been finished. Now, you see, we’re right close into that hour now. It could be at any time (See?), because the Church is just about ready to take its flight. But remember, when these things happen, the Bride won’t be here. Just remember, the Bride’s gone. She don’t have to go through any of it. This is a time of tribulation of purification of the—of the church. It’s put upon her for her to go through it, not the Bride; He takes His sweetheart out of the way. Yes, sir. She’s… done redeemed Her. See it’s kind of a… That’s His own selection, His own choice, like any man takes his bride. See?” (SIXTH SEAL THE title JEFF.IN 63-0323)

“The Bride, when she’s taken from the church, then the church age will cease. Laodicea goes into chaos; the Bride goes to glory; and the tribulation period sets in upon the sleeping virgin for three and a half years while Israel is getting its prophecy; then tribulation sets in upon Israel; and then comes the battle of Armageddon which destroys all things. And then, the Bride returns back with the Groom for a thousand years, the millennium reign; after that comes the white throne judgment; after that comes the new heavens and new earth and the new city coming down from God out of heaven. Eternity and time blends together.” (QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS title JEFF.IN COD 64-0830E)

Q&A 16. What happened to the born again believers who are in the various denominations but not in the Bride of Christ? What happens to them?

“Well, I think we explained that awhile ago. See? They go into the tribulation. They are martyred in the tribulation, come up in the last after the millennium for their judgment (See?), because the Bible said that the rest of the living… the rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years was expired. Then there was a resurrection, and then come forth the both just and unjust and was judged by Christ and the Bride. He came to the earth with ten thousands times ten thousands of His saints (Is that right?), His Bride. Judgment was set, the books was open… Books was open, and another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life. He separated from there the goats from the sheep. Is that right? That had nothing to do with the Bride. She was standing right there in judgment with her Queen—the Queen and King together.” (QA ON THE.SEALS title JEFF.IN 63-0324M)
“The church, the lukewarm, the anything outside of the elected Bride will go through the tribulation period. They will not raise in the first resurrection: “The rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years,” just the foreordained, predestinated, elected Bride, God’s own elections. “Who is it, Brother Branham?” I don’t know? I can’t tell you who it is, but I know it’s going to be there, ‘cause the Lord said they would. See? They are the ones that’ll go up from the tribulation, but the rest of them will go through the tribulation, go down, and everything will be killed before the millennium. Then the—the righteous shall come out in the millennium and live a thousand years. And after the thousand years, then the great white throne judgment comes, and then the dead, both right and wrong is raised. And the books are opened, and the Book of Life was open; and the saints, the Wife and the Husband, set and judge the world. And there it comes to pass the saying: “And He’ll judge all nations with a rod of iron.” All nations shall stand before Him there, and He’ll judge them with the rod of iron. He’ll separate the sheep from the goats and say to the goats, “Depart,” and the sheeps, “Come, ye blessed of My Father.” (QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.title JEFF.IN COD 64-0823E)

“It’s going to be awful on that morning, all the screams and cries that you ever hear, rich man throwing their money on the streets, rainbows flickering in the skies, lighting a flashing, thunders a roaring, the moon turning into blood and dripping out like drops—dark blood falling, the sun refusing to shine, the rocks a roaring, atoms exploding everywhere, fire falling...Huh-uh. I don’t want no trouble then. I want to be sure of it. I want to make sure right now, ‘cause you know, this might be the last hour that I be here, you, either one. It’s all over then. The way the tree leans, that’s the way it falls.” (BLIND BARTIMAEUS title SAN FERNANDO.CA  55-1115)

A SUMMARY OF WORLD HISTORY RELATED TO THE “SEVEN TRUMPETS”

For 1900 years since the rejection of Jesus Christ by the Jews, Palestine has been conquered by the Ottoman/Turkish army and was under the hands of the Moslems.

The twentieth century was a time in God’s plan for the Jews to come back to Palestine for the Feast of the Atonement. But there’s no way they could do it since the land of Israel was captured by the Moslems. WAR was needed to recapture back Jerusalem. By God’s sovereign will, He used a British general by the name of General Allenby to conquer Palestine during the First World War and defeated the Turkish army in the socalled Battle of Megiddo in 1918. General Allenby took Jerusalem back from the hands of the Moslems and that made way for Israel to be able to make plans of getting back to their homeland.

The First World War (first woe) was a permissive will of God in order to open the Land of Palestine for the Israelites to be able to come back to their promise land. The first world war ended with the British occupying the territory that was to become Iraq, Palestine, Trans-Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. With the Ottoman Empire destroyed, Russia paralysed by foreign intervention and civil war, Britain’s military success made her the dominant power in the region of the Middle East.

Yet the First World War was not enough force to bring the Jews back since majority of them were enjoying successful lives in the whole of Europe and Russia. God needed another world war, the 2 nd World War, to press the Jews to come out of these foreign countries. Just as God hardened Pharaoh’s heart to drive away the Jews from Egypt to the Promised Land in the time of the Exodus, God did the same thing and raised up the “Four Winds” to blow from the four corners of the earth.

God once again ordained the Second World War (second woe) to commence and hardened Hitler’s heart (Germany – West wind), Mussolinni’s heart ( Italy – South Wind), Stalin’s hearts (Russia – North Wind) and Hirohito’s heart ( East Wind) to persecute and annihilate the Jews occupying their territories, thereby, driving them away back to their homeland, the land of Israel. These four dictators formed what was known to be as the “Axis Powers” during World War 2.

This was still the hand of God working according to His soveriegn plan. Another significant factor which God ordained to be part of this “calling out” of the Jews was the shortage of food and the releasing of epidemics, which was under the first FOUR TRUMPETS. Shortage in food causes a nation to attack and conquer other nations in order to scavenge for additional resources. Diseases and epidemics as well can trigger nations to seek out for medical resources and remedies that other territories might have. The sounding of the first four trumpets just did these. One-third of the environment along with its life supports have been destroyed and depleted through pollution, chemical wastes and nuclear warfare, forcing nations to go to WAR because of the scarcity of natural resources and life support system. But God’s main purpose really was to press the Jews all over the world to go back to Palestine by way of these “four trumpeting” plagues. In parallelism to this, Egypt (the world) in the time of the Exodus suffered and experienced the plagues of God while the chosen people, the Israelites, were being taken out by God’s mighty hand to go to the Promised Land. So, while it is TRUE that these trumpets pertained only to the Jews, yet the Gentile world was still gravely affected and involved.

Another end-time consideration wherein God began to manifest Himself in these endtime is the year 1906. It was in year 1906 that the Laodicean Age started. It was also in the same year of 1906 that the restoration of the gifts of the Holy Spirit came down in Asuza Street when God re-appeared through the Pillar of Fire to His Pentecostal people.
Three years after that, in 1909, the Pillar of Fire appeared during the birth of William Branham, a symbol of the fufillment of Malachi 4:5-6, “Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord… and he will turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers.”

The 20th century was also a sign that the end time began – Israel being called out by God to be brought back into Palestine. When Israel was proclaimed as a nation in 1948, It was also on the same day that the Angel of the Lord appeared to William Branham in a cave, giving him the commission and the gifts of healing and discernment to serve as the first pull and the second pull to call out a Gentile Bride for Jesus Christ.

I can therefore say that though God deals with the Gentile and the Jew at different times and covenants, we can see here that while God was calling out a Gentile Bride in the Laodicean Age through His prophet, He was also calling-out the Jews back to the Promised Land to prepare for the coming of Moses and Elijah. Once the 144,000 has been all completed in the Land of Israel, that will also be the time of the going home of the Bride in the rapture. How close are we?

Another significant turn in the 20th Century was the Industrial Revolution. It was only in the 20th Century that science and technology had tremendously advanced. The radio, the television, the rockets, the bullet trains, the fast cars, the superhighways, the global internet – all of these technology came in only during the turn of the last century, the 20th Century.

After the 1st World War, every nation began to be afraid of one another. They saw that they are vulnerable to attacks if they did not have the ability and capacity to defend themselves. So they formed the “League of Nations” to agree on global peace, a peace which was superficial. Every nation saw the need of reinforcing their own armies which then lead to the invention of armaments and war crafts in preparation for any new war that may arise between them. Warfare technology has began along with the Industrial Revolution. The invention of tear gas, mustard gas, firepower, powerful aircraft, U-boats, tanks, machine guns, and flamethrowers were developed. But when the 2nd World war came, all of these weapons by smaller nations were nothing compared to the Atomic Bomb that America has dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Now, nations have turned to the invention of nuclear weapons, especially the communist nations. Every nation has purposed in themselves to develop more advanced and highly-technological weapons to match that of America’s firepower, in preparation for the Third World War (third woe).

The third world war, which is the Battle of Armageddon, will commence between Israel (Isaac’s lineage) against the Arab nations (Ishmael’s lineage) . America, Russia, China, Europe, and all other keyplayers in war will be caught up in this web of global conflict within the Middle East – and because of each one’s personal interest in the OIL, which is known as “Black Gold”, each one of these nations will strategically side with either Israel or the Arabs, to safeguard their own national interests. We’re nearing that time of the end. Israel and Iran are on the brink of war. America is sending its naval troops in the gulf to support Israel. UN is coming up with sanctions versus Iran. Russia is supplying the arms to Iran. It’s later than we think.

REVISITING THE NAZI HOLOCAUST

The primary goal of the Nazi Holocaust was the extermination of all the Jews in Europe. This purpose was nearly fulfilled. Out of an estimated 8.3 million Jews living in German-occupied Europe after 1939, about 6 million were killed. Although they were the chief targets, Jews were not the only ones. Gypsies, Slavs, and homosexuals were also singled out for special treatment. It is believed that an additional 16 million Poles and Russians were killed during this five-year orgy of slaughter.

Holocaust as a term has normally been used to describe the fate of Europe’s Jews. While the Nazis had little trouble in disposing of people whom they considered inferior, the policy aimed at Jews was the most deliberate and well calculated. The policy found eager support in other European nations as well, where centuries of deeply ingrained Christian anti-Semitism erupted into violence under cover of war. Only in Denmark were heroic national efforts made to save the Jewish population in spite of the German occupation. Most Danish Jews were sent to neutral Sweden to live out the war. Other efforts to save the Jews were made by individuals, such as the Swedish businessman Raoul Wallenberg, and by institutions.

Adolf Hitler’s persecution of Jews began as soon as the Nazis came to power in 1933. A strident anti-Semitism had always been part of his party platform. Jewish businesses were boycotted and vandalized. Jews were driven from their jobs in government and universities. By the Nuremberg laws of 1935 they lost their citizenship and were forbidden to intermarry with other Germans. They became nonpersons in their own country with no claim to rights of any kind. Many fled to other European nations or to the United States. Most, however, stayed behind, convinced that as fully integrated German citizens they were safe. In so doing they failed to understand the seriousness of their predicament.

Nazi intentions should have become clear on Nov. 9-10, 1938, the Night of Broken Glass (Kristallnacht in German), when nearly every synagogue in Germany was destroyed along with many other Jewish institutions. There followed the rounding up of thousands of Jews to be imprisoned in concentration camps. Their wealth and property were confiscated.

Although these outrages were reported around the world, the response to them was generally rather mild. Italy, Romania, Hungary, and other European countries were beginning to follow Germany’s lead in persecuting their Jewish minorities. There was almost no organized opposition to what was happening, even on the part of most churches. This silence meant, to Hitler, tacit approval of his policies.
By late 1941, after the invasion of the Soviet
