The Back Part of God’s Mind
GENESIS 1:1
1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
JOHN 1:1
1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Notice that this beginning in John1:1 is a beginning that is before the beginning of Genesis 1:1 – a revelation of before Genesis 1.
PSALM 119:89
89 ¶ For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
In other words, everything that God was going to do was already established and settled in heaven before there was even one speck of stardust created.
HEBREWS 4:3
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest (Those who believe that His word is already settled are those who enter into His rest. Faith in the settled word of God brings you into a rest of the promise of what God has spoken before you ever see it come to pass – in other words, your reality is in His promised word that cannot fail and not in what your sight sees around you), as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: (A revelation of the established word) although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
(Before there was even one speck of created matter, the works of God were already finished in His great mind)
HEBREWS 4:3 Berean Study Bible
Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’ ” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.

104 …There was nothing. It was all darkness. There wasn't no sun, nor no moon, no stars, no nothing, then He was God. As He asked Job, "Where was you when I laid the foundations of the world, see, when the morning stars sang together, the sons of God shouted for joy? See, now, where were you?" See? That was way back before the earth. (Before Genesis 1:1)
105 Now, God had a purpose and a hidden mystery. And that's what I want to speak on to the Church this morning, the hidden mystery of God that He had in His mind before the world ever began, and how that it's unfolded itself right down to this present hour that we're living. See? Then you will understand clearly then, you see, on, I believe, what is being done.
106 God's great mystery of how, it's a secret. He kept it a secret. Nobody knowed nothing about it. Even the Angels didn't understand it. See, He didn't reveal it. That's the reason, under our seventh mystery, when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence. Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said, "It's not... Even the Son Himself don't know when it's going to happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's a secret. And that's the reason there was silence in Heaven for a space of a half hour, and seven thunders utter their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it, see, the Coming of the Lord. That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come. It's a good thing that He doesn't. No.
107 He has showed or revealed it in every type that's in the Bible.
(How did he come to Abraham and Sarah, how did he come to Enoch, how did he come to Noah and his group – He has shown His coming in this hour in every type in the bible) Therefore, the entire Bible is the revelation of God's mystery in Christ. Hum! The entire Bible is an expression of one goal that God had, one purpose He wanted to achieve in the entire Bible. And all the acts of the--of the believers in the Bible has been in type, and expressing what God's great goal is, and now in this last day He has revealed it and shows it. And God's help, well, you'll see it right here this morning, what the Lord has had in His mind all along, and has expressed it. (So if you are familiar with the message of the hour, you can see that he is picking back up again on the subject of the seventh seal of where he left off when he didn’t complete it back on the evening of the 24th of March 1963 four months earlier – remember that the seventh seal continued to open right to the end of his ministry)
***God wrote His great mystery in the first bible of the stars, then he wrote it in the pyramid, then he wrote it in the bible that we have today.
He also wrote it in His creation of nature in the sun rising up in the morning, and the great roar of the lion (the king of the beasts), and the flying eagle, and on right down to the little ant – all of the heavens and all of nature declares this one great person and His great mystery.
***He also wrote His great mystery in the lives of his people down through the ages. “And all the acts of the--of the believers in the Bible has been in type, and expressing what God's great goal is”
**And right now God is also writing the mystery of Himself into your life by the circumstances of what he has planned for your life’s journey - like how he wrote his mystery in the life of Joseph, and like he did in the story of Ruth of how the events of her life was a story that revealed the great plan of redemption of Christ and his bride in Boaz and Ruth.
**So how God dealt with those people in that he was writing the mystery of Himself into their lives unconsciously to them by the circumstances and events that he had ordain for them to go through, this is showing us the same way that he is also dealing with you in your life also in that he is writing that same mystery into your own personal life, but that mystery part is sealed from you until he opens the mystery of your life to yourself – that is why there is nothing that happens by chance in your life, because God is in full control over every detail, because his work in your life was finished in his mind before the foundation of the world.
***The work that he is doing in your life right now by putting you through the trials and tests and allowing difficulties to come across your pathway, all that is necessary for the mystery of Himself to be written in your life, and that is his work that he is performing in your life, and that work was foreordained and settled in His great mind before the first atom was created.
PSALM 119:89
89 ¶ For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
102 Now, God's secret mystery, He had before the world began. Now, back in the back part of God's mind, there was something that He was trying and was going to achieve, and He had a motive in doing it, in order to let Himself be expressed. Because, first, there wasn't even a moon, star, atom, molecule, or anything. He was God. But He exactly wasn't God at that time, because God is an object of worship, and there wasn't nothing to worship Him.
(Notice – he is showing us of a time of when God was not even God. And so this great mystery of himself that was sealed in the Bible was to remain sealed until the days of the Voice of the Seventh Angel, and when he shall begin to sound, the Mystery of God should be finished at that time, and the Mighty God would be fully unveiled at that time, and Christ is the Mystery of God revealed. So these mysteries of the bible were sealed up until the time of the seventh angels sounding.)
103 So, in His great mind, He wanted these attributes to be expressed. And in Him was love; in Him was to be Father; in Him was to be Son; in Him was to be a Saviour; in Him was to be a Healer. And all these great attributes that we see already expressed, they were in God.
***Before the foundation of the world, God knew what each one of us would look like; he knew what kind of nature we would have. He knew what Adam would look like. He knew what Eve would look like. He knew how tall each one of us would be, he know what coloured eyes we would have and how many hairs we would have on our head. He knew how tall a pine tree would be and every single pine needle it would bare during its life. He knew what a fig tree would look like and the taste of its fruit. He knew what an ant would be and what an elephant would be. All of this was settled in the great back part of His mind before the foundation of the world.
*Everything that He was going to create, He had to designed and make an environment and a habitat for it, and He saw it all finished before he was even known as God.
**And so He also knew every one of us then, we had always been in his mind of what we would be and what we would look like, and He even knew which time and season we were to come into the world.
Bro. Branham said, “When He designed you, He gave one blue eyes, He gave one brown eyes.” Every minute detail of you he knew before the world began.
*None of us had a choice of whether we would be male or female, dark or light skinned, what country we would be born into, what time period we would be born into, what family we would be born into, what sort of troubles and trials we would encounter in life.
Everything about us is because God made us that way, and He has raised us up for a specific time and a specific season and for a specific purpose.
GENESIS 1:1-3
1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(Notice that it does not say how God created it, but we know that in Hebrews 11.3 it tells us that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so he created the heaven and the earth by His spoken word – so then the word had to be in existence before this beginning of Genesis 1:1)
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 ¶ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
The light represented the coming of Christ, and the evidence of the light is that it reveals things that were before in darkness, and so light is associated with revelation, and light is also associated with life. That is why the revelation of the word is light and life. He that believeth the word is already passed from death unto life.
JOHN 1:1-3
1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
So we notice that Moses in Geneses 1:1 wrote “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” But in St John 1:1, John writes of a beginning that was before the beginning of Genesis 1:1.
John speaks of the creation in St John 1:3 of that what Moses spoke of in Genesis 1:1, “All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” But John (in St John 1:1) takes us before Genesis 1:1 and says, “In the beginning was the word”.
So this is a beginning that is before the beginning of Genesis 1:1.
JOHN 1:1-2
1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
So the whole plan of redemption of the whole Bible of what He’ll do from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 of the written word of the bible was already in word form then, in other words, the whole book of the bible was already in God’s thoughts when he was all alone their by Himself in the beginning.
***We know that a word is a thought is expressed, so there must have been a thought exist before that word could ever come into existence, so the word was the same identical thought that progressed into a greater form of expression from a thought to a word.
***So Moses takes us to the beginning of the creation in Genesis 1, but then St John takes us before that beginning when there was the word, but then in this last age, a prophet of God takes us back even further than Genesis 1 and St John 1 and begins to tell us about what was in the back part of Gods mind – His thoughts.
THE.SEED.SHALL.NOT.BE.HEIR.WITH.THE.SHUCK_ LA.CA V-18 N-5 THURSDAY_ 65-0429B
32 Like in the beginning, God, God dwelt alone, because He was the Eternal One, see, wasn't even God. God is an "object of worship." And the Logos, as we call It, the Word that went out of God, That, anyone knows that That was the Angel of the Lord, or the Word of the Lord, that followed the Israelites through the wilderness; the Angel of the Covenant, the Logos that went out of God. And then that Logos was made flesh and dwelt among us. Now we're in Saint John 1, "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God." And now, as He gave His life for us, then His Spirit comes back upon us. Jesus said, "At that day you'll know that I'm in the Father, the Father in Me; I in you, and you in Me."
33 See, It's God, all along, God manifesting Himself, working Himself through different ages. So those three, of, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, same God working in three attributes. And we today are one, the Church Itself, an attribute of God's thinking before the foundation of the world, to have a--a Church. So those which are in Christ was in Christ at the beginning, that was His thoughts, and His thoughts is His attributes.
WHO.DO.YOU.SAY.THIS.IS_ PHOENIX.AZ V-6 N-9 SUNDAY_ 64-1227
67 … He was in the beginning by Himself. God dwelt alone with His thoughts. He'll never do that again 'cause His thoughts are being made manifest. And that's why we are right here, this day... is God fellowshipping with His thoughts, being made manifest.
From Thought to Word, to Flesh – 3 stages. Geneses 1 spoke of the creation, Saint John 1 spoke of the word that was before that creation, and in this day a prophet comes along and tells of the thoughts of God that he dwelt with before he was even God or before He even spoke His word.

***So when we look at creation, we see that it was all designed for the purpose to facilitate the plan of God to allow Him to express his great plan of redemption – so redemption is a greater work than creation.
REVELATION 13:8
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
It was what was before the foundation of the world that was the important thing of what was in the back part of God’s mind that God had established – the creation part that came later on was the word that was established in the beginning by the thought of God being made manifest in flesh form.
THE.FIRST.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318
122-1 {33} You see the Book actually was planned and written before the foundation of the world. This Book, the Bible was really written before the foundation of the world. And Christ, being the Lamb, was slain before the foundation of the world. And the--the members of His Bride, their names were put in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world, but it's been sealed up. And now it's being revealed whose names were in there, all about it. What a great thing. And John, when he saw it, he--he said, "Everything in heaven, everything underneath the earth, everything heard him saying, 'Amen, and blessings and honor.'" He just really was having a great time, and--for the Lamb was worthy.
THE.GOD.OF.THIS.EVIL.AGE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-9 SUNDAY_ 65-0801M
67 In God's own thinking; God, the great Spirit. In the beginning, before there was a beginning, He was God, and did you know you were in Him then? If you are a Christian now, you was in Him then.
**Do we really understand that? – What we are now is the manifestation of something that was foreknown by God before the world began. In other words, if you are manifesting a believer in this hour, then that was what God thought of you to be before the world began or you could never be that now. In the back part of God’s mind before there was one speck of stardust, what you are now is what he thought of you to be then.
Back before the beginning when God was not God, it was then that you were chosen in Christ, God knew exactly the time and season to bring you on the earth, and the grace of God put us in this last Age.
Down through the ages they have all longed to know these things that we know in this age, but they lived while the book was sealed.
But God appointed us to live in the Day when the seven seals would be loosed and the book would be opened when all these Secrets in His heart will be shared with us – that is what this bride age is all about.
I CORINTHIANS 13:10
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
You will know your Age.
You will know your Season.
You will know your Time.
You will know your Position.
You will know your Promise.
You will know your Anointing.
You will know who your God is.
You will know where you came from.
You will know where you are going.
You will know why He put you in this Age.
You will know your messenger and the message for your Age
You will know your part to be played out in this Age
All these things you will know because we are now face to face and you know who you are the same way that God knows who you are because you know where you came from and you know where you are going back to.
A.PERSONAL.EXPERIENCE.WITH.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL SATURDAY_ 54-0724
E-27 You notice of a morning when the--the dew... I've watched it many times, when I see the dew fall at night time. Look out there, see the dew fall. And every time when the sun comes up, did you ever notice how happy a little dew drop was? He just sparkles and shines, and sparkles and shines. I was asking one, one morning, talking to nature, which is--was my first Bible. I said, "What makes you sparkle, little dew drop?"
And it seemed like that something in a way spoke back to me, said, "You know last night, I was up there. And I'm--I know I'm going up again, for I belong up there, way beyond this old hot earth, up there where the--the moisture stays. And I was once up there, and I'm happy because the suns a shining on me, and when the sun shines on me, it's making--it'll draw me right up to where I was."
