You Shall Know as You Were Known
I CORINTHIANS 13:9-12
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come (Perfect word – the complete word, that is this day under this message – not partial word as in the seven church ages), 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. (When we are new to the message, our understanding of the word is like a child’s level, we maybe thought that God was 3 different people, but as the revelation of the truth becomes established in our hearts our thinking changes and matures, and we realise it’s not three persons but one person in three separate offices of manifestation)
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then (a future time) shall I know even as also I am known.
***The word is foretelling of a future time when we would understand the word with no dark areas anymore, but face to face. And at that time all of the partial understanding of seven church ages is to be done away and the fullness of the word is to be revealed to a people. Then it is also promised that at that time we would also know as we were known by God.
You Shall Know as You Were Known
When you came into this world as a little baby, you didn’t know who you were; you had to learn who you were and who your parents were and all about your family history etc. by the word of what your parents told you.
And so this is also the way it is with who we are as sons and daughters of God, we have to learn who our real Papa is, where we’ve come from, where we originated from, and where we are going back too, because where you came from is where you’re going back too, because redemption is to restore back that which was once before.
We know that the shout, voice and trump of Thessalonians 4:16 are the three things that are happening under the event of the seventh seal of the second coming of the Lord.
(This is what is going on right now)
The shout was the message of the hour that was sounded through the voice of the earthly angel messenger William Branham, and that shout woke up the bride of this age and gather her out of denominations into a third exodus to go back to the promised land of the full word.
The message (which was symbolised as the shout), was the revealing and the unveiling of the son of Man – Christ the word – the MAN.
But the “Voice” is when that same message has come into and has become mature in a many membered body of people called the bride of Christ – the WOMAN.
So this is Man and Woman again, husband and wife together - His word is now in Her, the two have been united as one by the word – and then the trump takes us back to Eden again which is Adam and Eve in Eden, which is Christ and the Bride in the Millennium.
***So the marriage of Lamb (which is the marriage of the Bride to Christ) takes place between the shout and the voice when the word of the hour comes into the bride by the revelation of Christ, this is the marriage of the Lamb that was promised in the scriptures to take place in this hour.
**People miss these great events of God because they are looking for the promised to come to pass in a way of their own imagination, but God is his own interpreter of his own word, and he interprets it by bringing it to pass, and only the elect of God can recognised the word coming to pass for their day.

The--the thing that's the matter with the Message today, is, those who obtain It in their hearts must lay in the Presence of the Son, to get ripened. See? You can pick up the Message, and then let the Son bake all the greenness out of you, see, making matured Christians. (Greenness is immature thinking of a false concept of the word – when I was a child I thought as a child)

190 … We're at the end time. So what does It have to do now? Lay in the presence of the Son, to be ripened, that's exact, the Word to be ripened into your heart, to bring forth and live what we're talking about. Yes, sir.

40 I believe the church is beginning to hear the Message, and beginning to understand It. But friend, listen, we've got to lay in the Presence of the Son, we've got to be ripened. Our--our faith isn't ripe (Your faith is at the same level as the revelation of the word that you have received). Intellectually we're hearing the Message that God has give us, and seeing the signs that He showed us, and proving it by the Bible, it's there, but, oh, how the church needs to lay in His Presence till it tenders up, you know, and gets sweet in the Spirit so that it can bathe down.

285 Now, church, we're teaching now. But, remember, when you leave here, start moving out of the shuck now; you're going into the grain, but lay in the Presence of the Son.

59 … The wheat has come back to the wheat again. The wheat has come back to Its grain. The shuck has pulled away from It. And the wheat must lay in the Presence of the Son, to be ripened.
Ripen is to come to a full maturity in your thinking and revelation of the full word of this hour.
If you are still in the church ages dispensation, then you cannot be laying in the presence of the SON to ripen because the church ages were at night time when the candlesticks gave out the light and candlestick light will not ripen the bride for this hour, we have to be in the daylight of the new morning of the new day – we have to come over into the bride age where the SON has risen by the revelation and the light of the word of the hour.

94 As Christ was the first One to raise, from all the prophets, and so forth; although typed in many places, He was the Firstfruits of those that slept. In the Bride, coming of Christ, coming out of the church, there'll have to be a Sheaf waved again in the last days. Oh, my!
95 Waving of the sheaf! What was the sheaf? The first one that come to mature, the first one that proved it was a wheat, that proved it was a sheaf.
96 Hallelujah! I'm sure you see what I'm talking about. It was waved over the people. And the first time there will come forth, for the Bride age, for a resurrection out of dark denominationalism, will be a Message, that the full maturity of the Word has turned back again in Its full Power, and being waved over the people, by the same signs and wonders that He did back there.

Opening scripture..
I CORINTHIANS 13:9-12
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. (This is talking about the perfect word that has come in this end time age that has done away with the all the candle light of the seven church ages. We are living in the when the SON has risen – Shalom – good morning, it’s the dawning of a brand new day)
11 When I was a child (A child is just an adult in an immature form, they are immature in their thinking), I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child (we thought that Eve ate apples, and hell was eternal, and all these confusions of the night time of the seven church ages under the ministry of candle lights): but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly (candle light, not clear); but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
So this is the time when we are to come into this reality of this scripture of knowing who we are as we were known by God in the beginning.
**So between the revealing of the son of man and the rapture of the church, there is a people on earth that must come into the maturity of the revelation of knowing who they are, and know themselves as they were known by God from before the foundation of the world.
JOB 38:1-4
1 ¶ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4 ¶ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

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.
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.

17 So, you see, if you were in the foreknowledge of God, then you are becoming a part of God. And the only way you can be a son of God or a daughter of God, you had to be a part of God, and God isn't complete without you. Has to be. That's right, 'cause there is One, only one resource of Eternal Life, and that is God, and Him alone has Eternal Life. See? Now, and you were a part of Him, insomuch that you're an attribute, or in His thinking in the beginning. And that, because He thought of you in the beginning, it gives that little tug towards Him. That's what has to be quickened. Some of them will never be quickened; they just don't have it, that's all.
18 Just like if you would put a grain of corn in the ground, didn't have... Ever how pretty it was, if it didn't have the germ of life in it, it can never be quickened. But the germ of life has to be there first.
19 And I got that little story about that eagle, walking with the hens and the chickens because he was hatched out and born there, but he never did feel just like them chickens. And, you know, when his mammy come by and hollered, he heard a voice that sounded awful good to him, because, remember, he was an eagle, to begin with. He just had to come to find himself, to find his place.
20 And that's the way every believer is. You wasn't born for this world. You was created in the image of God, to be a son of God. And you don't belong in this chicken yard out here. You're a eagle.

129 Now, "In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." The three stages. It was a attribute first, was in God, that He thought of Himself as being human; and that transmitted Him down to be Jesus; and now, if you'll ever be There, you was with Him then. For, there's only one form of Eternal Life, that's God; and you had to be a part of God at the beginning, not what you just chose down here. He chose you. "All the Father has given Me will come."
***If you have come to this word in this hour, then that can only mean that you were a part of that word in the beginning.
GENESIS 24:1-9
1 ¶ And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
Thigh - HEBREW = yarek {yaw-rake'} 1) thigh, side, loin, base
1a2) loins (as the seat of procreative power)
The thigh was considered the source of posterity in the ancient world – where a man’s seed resides, or more properly known as the “loins”.
The phrase “under the thigh” is a euphemism for “on the loins.” By placing his hand there, the servant of Abraham made a solemn oath concerning the blessed progeny of Abraham.
We know that brother Branham was the anti-type of this servant, because he was the one who was commissioned in this age by the Father to go and get his Son a bride, and we are the antitype of Rebekah that has heard the Eliezer call of this servant of the master.
And so we know that there is a connection with this servant and the heavenly father’s loins where His eternal thought attribute seeds reside, because you and I were in the loins of God which was His great mind before the world began.

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.
THE.GOD.OF.THIS.EVIL.AGE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-9 SUNDAY_ 65-0801M
64 Did you know, you, your beginning, I can prove by God's Word that you, any person in here, was alive in your great-grandfather. And your great-grandfather, you were produced down to your grandfather, then to your father, and then to you. You know that?
The Bible said, I believe it's Hebrews 7, that, Melchisedec, when Abraham returned from the slaughter of the kings, "Abraham paid Melchisedec tithing of all the spoils." And here is Paul saying now, that, "Levi, who received tithes, was yet... He paid tithes, for he was yet in the loins of Abraham when he met Melchisedec." So whatever that Abraham did, then we find that Levi was then in Abraham, which was his great-grandfather. Abraham begot Isaac; Isaac begot Jacob; Jacob begot the patriarchs, Levi.
Now, then, you see, here comes into perfect view, predestination.
65 Now, in these Messages, I want to--to--to emphasize the things that I have told you in the Message, of this evening Light that God said would come upon the earth.
66 And notice, then, "The beast that was to come upon the earth, would deceive all whose names were not put in the Lamb's Book of Life, slain before the foundation of the world."
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.
And then, if that be so, the whole Godhead bodily shaped up in the Person of Jesus Christ. And then when Jesus died at the cross, I died with Him, for I was in Him then; for He was the fullness of the Word, manifested, knowing that we would be manifested later. And we was at Calvary with Him. We went in the grave with Him. And we raised with Him and His resurrection. And now we've ascended, by His Spirit, to the Throne of grace, sitting together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Always!
68 For as the germ of natural life is brought down, germitized from father to father, to father, to father, so is the Life of Christ germatized.
That's the reason God uses Elijah's Spirit five different times. What is it? It's the handing down.
69 Just as your natural life and traits is handed down from the natural breeding of your father, so is the Spirit of God, that was predestinated before the foundation of the world.
And when the entire Word of God, in complete, was headed up in a human body called Jesus Christ, in there God made me pay for my sins, in Him there. Then He rose me, raised me up with Him, in the resurrection. And now we are seated with Him, with power and authority over every devil. Oh, if you could only believe what God has given!
You Shall Know as You Were Known
How did God know you? – because you were always in his thinking but yet unexpressed, but now you’ve been expressed on the earth, then in this age you are to come into this same knowing of who you are the way that he knew you before the foundation of the world.
This is the season that we are living in now. This is the season when the bride is individually and collectively coming into this revelation of who she is in Christ.
LEADERSHIP_ COVINA.CA V-7 N-7 TUESDAY_ 65-1207
119 There's only one form of Eternal Life, and that comes from God. And He foreordained every creature that would ever have It. Just as you were the gene in your father, you was a gene in God; one of His attributes to begin with, or you'll never be There. You come forth in the bedding ground of your mother; your father didn't know you, you were in his loins. And when you come forth in the bedding ground of the mother, then you become a human being and are made in the image of your father, now you can fellowship with him. And the same thing by God, if you got Eternal Life.
120 The life that you come in, the natural life, physical life, that was by your father. And the only way you can come born again, is the only way, is it has to be from your Heavenly Father, His attributes. "All the Father has given Me will come to Me." See?
121 You are here because your name was placed on the Lamb's Book of Life before there was even a foundation of the world. That's exactly right. You're a gene, a spiritual gene out of your Heavenly Father, a part of God's Word. That be so, as I've said, then you was with Jesus when He was here because He was the Word: you suffered with Him, died with Him, buried with Him, and rose with Him, and now setting in Heavenly places in Him!
