THE.FIRST.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318
130-1 {86} Oh, if you… We’re going to get to the… Let’s just read that piece–start up a little farther–the 3rd verse.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that… (m-a-n)… man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (That’s right.)
Who opposeth and exalts himself above all that’s called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God setteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (remitting sin)
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?… (I’d like to set under some of his teaching. Wouldn’t you?)… And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
Not then (See?), not then, but in his time… See, at the breaking of that Seal we know exactly what it was. Who is this man of iniquity? Who is this man of sin, this fellow that’s a working iniquity, would he be revealed in his time?

130-1 {87} For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:… (deceivers, you see, deceiving the people off into something. See?)… only he… (God)… that… letteth will let, until he… (the Church–Christ, the Bride)… be taken out of the way.

131-1 {93} What a statement. My. After the Bride is taken away, then this man of sin will reveal himself. She, the true Bride of Christ has been elected out of every church age.
Now, the other day I made a statement: The Bride could go home and you’d never know nothing about it. That’s true. Somebody said, “Well, Brother Branham, that would be a mighty small group.”
Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah (Now, you talk to Him about it. See?) wherein eight souls were saved by water, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man.”

71 “One of the great ambitions,” somebody give me the paper just now, this new pope has said, “is to unite the churches together.” They’ll do it just as certain as I’m standing here. And the Protestants fall for it. See? Because, the church… The Bible said, Paul, the prophet of the Lord, said, “That day will not come except there come a falling away, first, and then the… before the man of sin will be revealed. He that setteth in the temple of God, upholding himself, all that’s above God; he, as God,” forgiving sins on the earth, and so forth. How that this thing happened! But it couldn’t happen until the falling away, until the church begin to get away from the spiritual feast, draw itself back and organize itself. And then the revelation didn’t stay with the church.

A great falling away came. The Seals were opened. The man of sin has been revealed. That is what the opening of the Seven Seals done.
It let us see that our persecution comes from the most religious ranks. Message people persecuting other message people. I’ve went through that persecution and know it’s real. And it is so deceiving that the intellectual mind will be confused. It is the hour that we must have that perfect faith, perfect revelation. It is the only thing that will stand against that deception. And what the prophet gave us is the only thing we can cling too. It is that perfect Word that we are standing behind now.
But hell has come to earth and God has raised the standard against it. If the fullness pf the Word is here then it’s here for a reason. It’s to dissolve all doubt and allow us to stand against the persecution.

SOULS.THAT.ARE. IN.PRISON. NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M
370 Could that vision, when I was a little boy, is it the hour? Is this the time when them weary-looking, gloomy; hell being created right here on earth?

379 I–I plead, with all my heart, as we see not only somebody talking, but, the Scripture Itself bringing us to this hour. And that vision, of a little boy, seeing those people in that condition; and now, think, that hell itself, mercy has been blotted from the earth, and now hell itself is here, and the people, Lord, are in this hideous condition.

For a long time I never realized that when he saw that vision of hell that he was seeing a vision what would come to the earth.

The only mercy left is in the fullness of the Word.

365 While you continue singing, I want to ask you something. Is there a spot in your heart that seems to be darkened by sin? If it is, now is the time to get rid of it, right now, if there is mercy left.
366 This, I hope, isn’t so. I hope it isn’t there. But doesn’t it look like it could be? Listen what the Holy Spirit said in the midst of the people, after I got through, “It’s a Voice unto you.”
367 And if there is, if you’ve got any darkness on your life, won’t you come right here around the altar now, while we continue to sing. Right now, if there is a worry, if there is a spot, don’t put it off any longer.
368 Hoping and trusting that this is not so; but it will be, one of these days, and it might be today.

Will anybody recognize it but the Bride? There won’t be a big announcement. Only the interpretation by God and His people catching it.
