The Wise Shall Understand
DANIEL 12:8-10
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
ROMANS 16:25
25 ¶ Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
The Wise Shall Understand
Over the last few months we’ve been talking on different aspects of the resurrection of the sleeping bride in relation to the seventh seal because the resurrection is the event that is to take place right now at this time – if fact the cycle of it has already begun.
We’ve learnt that resurrection cycle begins with the shout of 1st Thessalonians 4:16, and the shout is the message of the hour that God spoke through his prophet of Malachi 4.
And so we know that the cycle of the rapture has already begun in the earth and will continue on to the consummation of the resurrection of the sleeping saints of 7 church ages to unit with the living saints to meet the Lord in the air.
I CORINTHIANS 15:51-53
51 ¶ Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
This message (shout) is what gathers the bride together unto Him who is the mystery of God unveiled and revealed in this hour – we are living in the literal fulfilment of these things, and we are also a part of it by our identification with the word for this age.
**This prophecy is now putting on flesh in this hour in the form of a people called the bride of Christ.
Opening scripture
DANIEL 12:8-10
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
In this scripture we see that Daniel was hearing the word from that angel but he was not understanding the things that he was hearing, in other words the message was spoken but the understanding remained sealed up to him because the understanding of the word requires the spirit of God to reveal it to you, and that wasn’t the season for that portion of the word to be known, but it was promised that it would be understood at the end time age by an end time bride. (But - none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.) It will be made known to the bride of this end time age.
Notice - The difference is the understanding
In the message “Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed” brother Branham is telling us that when the mysteries of the word are reveal then that is the revealing of Christ – In other words, the revealing of the word is Christ.
That is why the coming of Christ is directly connected with the revealing of the mysteries of the word.
“Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed” or we could say “The Mystery of God Revealed is Christ”. So when these mysteries of the last days are revealed, then that is the coming of Christ.

101 Now for a text I want to take out of there, this for a text, basing it upon the entire Bible, but I want us title this: Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed. Christ being the mystery of God revealed! (Because in each age Christ was the anointed word that came through the messenger by the revealed mystery for that age)
Many people think that they know Christ because they learnt some bible history about a man called Jesus that healed people and walked the shores of Galilee some 2000 years ago, and because that they accept that that happened, they think that that is believing in Christ.
But that is not believing in Christ, that is just believing in history – and believing in history doesn’t save a person.
The word Christ means “the anointed one, or the anointed word”

117 But you see, the Bride's not going to be made up of just what little group's here on earth now. When the seventh watch, when He came, all those virgin raised and trimmed their lamps. All the way back, every one that believed the anointed Word down through the age, come forth. Like the pyramid (the bottom part), and come on... But the Headstone had to come to pick the whole thing up to make it a--a pyramid. See, put it together. Now, the Bride will be made up of all those through the ages, that's believed and has accepted Christ as their Savior.
***So there was a potion of the mystery of the word (Christ) that was revealed and anointed for each church age through the messenger for the age, and to believe that word (the Christ – the anointed word for your day) under your messenger is what qualifies you for the resurrection and the rapture.

262 And, remember, the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals, to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in the Word. Do you see it?
THE.BREACH.BETWEEN.THE.SEVEN.CHURCH.AGES.AND.THE.SEVEN.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317E
73-1 {37} Now, see, the mystery of this seven-sealed Book will be revealed at the sounding of the seventh church angel's message. See? The seventh angel begins to sound, and there's the messages wrote out there, and we got it in tape and book form.
Now, at the beginning of the sounding of the message, the mystery of God should be finished (See?) at that time. Now, we will notice, the Book of the mystery of God is not revealed until the seventh angel's message is sounded.
Now, these points will be important in the Seals; I'm sure, 'cause it must every bit tie together. Now, it's wrote mysterious, because no man nowhere knows it: God alone, Jesus Christ. See?
74-1 {39} Now, but it--it is a Book, a mysterious Book. It's a Book of Redemption. (We'll get into that in a little while.) And now, we know that this Book of Redemption will not be thoroughly understood: it's probed at through six church ages, but at the end, when the seventh angel begins to sound his mystery, he winds up all of the loose ends that these fellows probed at, and the mysteries comes down from God as the Word of God and reveals the entire revelation of God. Then the Godhead and everything else is settled. All the mysteries: serpent's seed and whatevermore is to be revealed.
74-2 {40} Now, you see, I'm just not making that up. That's what... It's THUS SAITH THE LORD. I'll read it to you out of the Book: the sounding of the seventh angel's message, the mystery of God should be finished that's been declared by His holy prophets. That's the prophets who has wrote the Word. At the sounding of the seventh church age, the last church age, all the loose ends that through these church ages have been probed at, will be wound up together. And when the Seals are broke and the mystery is revealed, down comes the Angel, the Messenger, Christ, setting His foot upon the land and upon the sea with a rainbow over His head. Now remember, this seventh angel is on earth at the time of this coming.
***So we see that it is this revealed word that is to be understood in this end time age by this end time bride, and that is the what produces the new birth for this age, because each age had a word that produced the new birth for that age because in order to have a birth you must first have a seed which is a portion of the word of God revealed to you in your soul by a clear understanding by the Holy Ghost.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
240 The new Birth is Christ, is the revelation. God has revealed to you this great mystery, and that's a new Birth.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
397 But God's great mystery, what the Eternal God had as a mystery, has now been unfolded in Jesus Christ, then given right down to His Church. What was once in God's mind is now in the Body of Christ. Jesus making love to the Church, His Bride, whispering secrets to Her.
That's what God, Christ, is doing to the Church. See? He is letting Her know the secrets….
THE.FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 SUNDAY_ 64-0719M
300 Notice what happened (referring to Sarah). Immediately she turned back to a lovely young woman. Showing, in there, portraying what He's going to do to the royal Seed of Abraham, to receive the Son that's been promised. She turned back to a young... (Remember that today; scientists are trying to find the secret to turning a human being back young again – they are trying to find ways to stop the aging process through scientific discoveries)
301 Look, they went down into Gerar. And what happened? Abimelech, the king, fell in love with her, said, "She is fair and beautiful," and was going to marry her. Is that right? Old grandma; and all them other pretty girls down there. Granny, "She is beautiful. She is fair to look upon." See?
302 God changed her body, and turned them back. It's a mystery that's to be revealed now in this day, by the Son of man, see, the evening Message. See? Turned back! And that was the last sign they seen, was (what?) that discernment, before the change of the body come.
303 And before we can ever receive the Son, what happens? "The trumpet of God shall sound; the dead in Christ shall rise first, a new body; and we which alive and remain shall be changed, in a moment, in a twinkle of a eye," hallelujah, "and shall be caught up together, to meet the Lord in the air." The secret has been made known; the Seals are open.
**So notice - the secret of eternal youth and to be changed back young again and the translation to go into the next world has been made known to us by the opening of the seven seals.
IT.IS.THE.RISING.OF.THE.SUN_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-12 SUNDAY_ 65-0418M
12 And so there He spoke to me, and said, "The Seven Seals will be opened. The seven mysteries, seven-fold mystery of the Bible, that's been closed up since the foundation of the world, will be revealed." And we, yet a humble little group, compared with all the world, we've enjoyed these blessings, a hearing those mysteries. Marriage, divorce, serpent's seed, all these different questions, has been completely revealed to us, not by man, but by God, Himself, that's opened those seven mysteries; of what the Church was, how It was in Christ at the beginning, and how It would be revealed in the last day.

GENESIS 5:21-24
21 ¶ And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
HEBREWS 11:5-6
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him (Remember – faith is when the word is revealed to you, a clear understanding – so we know that Enoch must have received a clear revelation from God concerning the change of body and the translation): for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
**Enoch was the seventh from Adam as we are the seventh Church age from Christ the second Adam. And we know that Enoch was turned back young and translated because the mystery of the body change and rapture was revealed to him. And we also know that Enoch built the great pyramid from this same revelation that he had received from God – that is why the pyramid was sealed – it didn’t have a door on the outside because Enoch sealed up that revelation that he had received from God in the Pyramid like the bible was also sealed up with seven seals.

E-13 After a hundred billions of years a clinker flew off of it, was a star. And we watch it falling. It fell for several million years, and He stopped it. Another one fell; He stopped it. What's He doing? He's writing His first Bible.
We've had three Bible's written. One of them is in the heavens above, the Zodiac. Starts off with the virgin, ends up with Leo the lion, the first coming and the second coming of the Lord Jesus, down through the different ages.
Then we find it, till Enoch wrote one and put it in the pyramid. The third is put on paper.
Everything in the Word travels in a trinity. There's three coming's of Christ. He came first to redeem His Bride. He come second to receive His Bride. He comes the third time with His Bride. There, everything in a trinity, moving in the Bible, the three's, the three's in one...
So to Enoch was revealed the secret of how to go from this present world into the next world to where God is without seeing death.
Remember also, that the revelation that Noah and his group receive by God in his day was also the mystery revealed to them of how to go from one world and into another world.
So when Enoch built the great pyramid, he sealed up this mystery of what God had revealed to him in the pyramid – he sealed it and hid it in the secret passages of the pyramid.
Seal it up Enoch
Seal it up Daniel
Seal it up Paul
Seal it up John
REVELATION 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God (the secret that was sealed up – the secret of eternal youth and immortality, the secret of life after death, the secret of the translation, the mystery of God… all these great things) should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants (Enoch, Daniel, Paul, John.) the prophets.

128 That during the days of Luther, we lived by justification. During the days of Wesley, we lived by sanctification, the church become in the minority. In the days of Pentecost we've lived down through the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the restoration of the gifts. Now, we're really in the minority, the coming of the Son of God. Here they believed by faith; here they shouted under sanctification; here they spoke in tongues as a gift; but now the negative and positive, and the--the cap's coming on the pyramid; and it's the end time, when the Christ and His Church is so much alike till it's going to call the dead from the Methodist, Lutheran, and all those back there, and there'll be a resurrection. Them that fell asleep in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh watch, will arise one of these days to meet Jesus in the skies. The hour has arrived, friends, the coming of the Lord is at hand.
What was sealed up in the Pyramid?
The Grand gallery which represented the seven church ages
The Queen’s chamber
The King’s chamber
All these details revealed in these secret passages within the pyramid that was sealed until this end time.
Then at the very last there is an empty tomb – what is the empty tomb? It is the revelation of the resurrection showing that Enoch had a revelation of the resurrection and the translation - the shout voice and trump.
***All these things Enoch understood because God had opened the mystery of the word to him – and it was this understanding that cause his body to changed and be translated without seeing death.
**And that same revelation that Enoch had was promised to be given to an end time bride in the last days.

578-1 {405} Another thing, I want you to notice what taken place, And if you're listening to the tape of the "What Time Is It, Sir?" you will notice that one Angel was very notable to me. The rest of them just was--seemed ordinarily; but this Angel was a noted Angel. He was to my left in the constellation in a form of a pyramid. And you remember, it was in the pyramid where the mysterious white rock was not written on. And the Angels took me into that pyramid of themselves, the mysteries of God known only to them. And now, they with the messengers that come to interpret that pyramid or that message of the secret of these Seven Seals which lays with inside the pyramid.

50 Now, all these things are in there. And we find... Sometime I'd like to come to Shreveport where we just have about two or three weeks just to take thirty minutes a night and just on a teaching, see, just stay right in the Word, these secret passages, see, where we could find out just how to get in. (Notice - He is talking pyramid language)
STANDING.IN.THE.GAP_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0623M
77 ….I've been in Cairo and--and in Egypt, and--and the cap never did come, because it was a cornerstone, it was a headstone. In the church It was the cornerstone. In the full Church, It was the headstone. So It never did come. It was rejected, Christ. And It will come. And I believe that when It's coming, that the Church will shape into a place, from justification under Luther, sanctification under Wesley, and the Pentecostal message will bring the Church to such a minority, and a ministry will be among those people till it'll be exactly the same ministry that Jesus Christ did. That'll bring Jesus and catch the whole thing away.

74 The Book of the Revelations is the last Book of the Bible. It's sealed to unbelievers. In there, the Bible says, in 22nd chapter, "Whosoever shall take one Word from It, or add one word to It, I'll take his part from the Book of Life." We realize that, then, it was altogether given for believers. And It opens the Book of Revelations and reveals Who the Author of this entire Book is. "He is to look upon as Alpha and Omega," from Genesis to Revelations, Jesus Christ just the same, right straight through. And reveals His complete mystery of Himself, and His plans for His church ages that's to come, and was sealed in there by Seven Seals.
75 Now, the Book was written, but then, remember, It was sealed with Seven Seals. And these Seven Seals was not to be opened (Revelations 10) until the sounding of the last earthly angel on earth, Revelations 10:7. See? "And in the days of the sounding of the last angel's Message, seventh angel, the mystery of God should be finished in that age." That, and that's the age that we're living in.
DANIEL 12:8-10
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? (In this day we now understand the end of these things because of the message of the hour – because of the opening of the seven seals)
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
