The People of the Prophecy Pt.4
GENESIS 6:5-6
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Notice - Insanity taking over the minds of the people so that every imagination of their thoughts was continually evil. It’s not normal for human beings to think evil thoughts continually, that’s a sign of mental illness – it was the influence of the advancement of their modern age that was causing the people to lose their minds – because Noah’s day and this day parallel)
6 ¶ And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
GENESIS 6:11-12
11 ¶ The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. (evil thoughts lead to an entire world becoming filled with violence)
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Your way is corrupted when your intelligence becomes corrupted. Man’s intelligence was coming from another source other than from the leadership by the intelligence of the Holy Spirit unfolding His great truth and being to humanity.
The People of the Prophecy Pt.4
*We spoke last week about Artificial intelligence (A,I.), of how that man knows that it is advanced intelligence that is the key to the unlocking of greater things.
Man wants to leave this world and go to another world (Mars), but they know that it will take a greater intelligence to do that.
*And so this scientific advancement is showing us what God is about to do with His people, because the advancement of revelation is the key to greater things for us also that will cause us to be taken off the earth and into another world – that’s what the revelation that God gave to Noah did for him and his group – it took him and his group that believed his message off the earth and over into a new world – a type of the millennium.
**Jesus foretold us that in the last days the people of the world would come into the same condition as the people that lived in the days of Noah.
So everything we see here in Genesis of the condition of the people that lived in Noah’s day would become the same condition of a people in this day – so when we look all around us, we are now witnessing the actual people of this prophecy. The prophecy of Jesus has become in a people that are now alive on the earth.
The mystery of the prophecy is now becoming history in a people.
*There were two distinct groups in Noah’s day, and two distinct intelligence sources.
Noah’s intelligence of his revelation from God led him and his group into an ark that took them off the earth and into another world, while the intelligence of man led the rest of the world into complete destruction and on into the underworld.
*From last week we talked about how that the scriptural prophecy becomes resident in the flesh of people at the time of when the prophecy is to become history.
**The mystery of the prophecy becomes history in a people. The mystery of “a virgin shall conceive” became history in Mary.
**The mystery of the seven church ages of Revelation chapters 2 and 3 became history in the lives of the predestinated people of those ages.
**You cannot have the fulfilment of prophecy without having the people of the prophecy on earth at the time of when the prophecy is required by God to be fulfilled.
**Mary had to be on earth at just the right time to become the fulfilment of Isaiah 7:14 “Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son”.
**William Branham had to be born precisely at 5am on the 6th April 1909 for the prophecy of Malichi 4 to be fulfilled – there had to be certain stars in the heavens that had to be aligned right at the time of his birth.
But then associated with William Branham’s ministry, there must also be a people that God would ordain to be on earth to receive his message because his message was from God to a specific people “behold I send “YOU” Elijah the prophet”.
**So one by one these people that would receive his message would all have to be born into the world at exactly the right time for each one of them also – because it takes the both together, the prophet and the people of whom would receive that prophet’s ministry.
The “YOU” is a people of the prophecy that God has brought each one into the earth in the precise timing of their birth so that this prophecy would be able to become history in the flesh in a predestinated people in this hour.
**So it is both the end time Elijah prophet and his people together that fulfill the complete prophecy of Malichi 4.

This is from “pick up your pen and write”
…The true prophet of God in this last day will proclaim the whole Word. Denominations will hate him. His words may be as harsh as John the Baptist who called them vipers. But the predestinated will hear and be ready for the rapture. The Royal Seed of Abraham, with like faith as Abraham's will hold to the Word with him, for they are predestinated together.
The evidence that you are predestinated together with the messenger for your age is that you will hold to the word of what the messenger taught just as he held to it.
And this will be the same for the 144,000 remnant jews who are predestinate to receive their two prophets Moses and Elijah. They are identified by their receiving of the message by their prophets.
*Picking up from last week - On the cross, Jesus was conscious of the scripture that was being fulfilled concerning the prophecy of himself for that hour.
When He cried, “I thirst,” He knew that that was the scripture for that moment in time.
When they gave him vinegar to drink, He knew that that was the scripture that was required for him to express in his life at that moment of time.
When His bones were exposed, He knew that that was the scripture of what David spoke of in the Psalms that was being fulfilled in His life.
*And so we are to also learn to live our lives with this same level of scriptural awareness, because we know that if the bridegroom fulfilled every scripture concerning himself, then the bride collectively will do the same in this day.
*This is why Brother Branham stood with confidence knowing that every prophecy, and every parable, and every shadow and type in the Bible pertaining to his ministry was to be fulfilled in his life – it was the supernatural power of the prophecy that worked those things into his life.
*He knew his part just like John the Baptist knew the part that he was. That is why the word of prophecy for your age is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway, it is to show you your way of what part of the word that you are called to live out.
JOHN 1:9-13
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. (Your life is to be lit up with the light of the revelation of the truth for your age)
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. (this is a paradox – His own people of His own creation didn’t know their own creator walking among them – and so if they could not recognize Him, then they will certainly not recognize the bride in this hour)
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him (You receive Him by receiving the truth of the word that he reveals for the season that you live in), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (the evidence is being able to receive and believe the word (HIM) for your day)
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
*We all think that our birth came by the will of the flesh of a union between mum and dad, but the bible is clear about this in that we came into the earth by the predestinated will of God.
RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.AND.ITS.MESSAGE_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0726M
185 …the Bride has recognized the evening Light, just begin to recognize. … The devil has recognized it's the time that he can wreck women, wreck the church, wreck the people. He's recognized it.
And God has recognized that there is a people on earth that He predestinated to Life. He recognized this is the time to send His Message. He's did it. The people has recognized It, the Bride time has realized the evening Light.
192 …Now I'm going to say something. National force put Israel in her homeland; national force will put the church in the World Council of Churches; but the power of God will put the people in the Bride. The world forces this way, and the world forces that way, but God forces upward. The Spirit of God, which is the Word of God, "My Word is Spirit and Life," will put the Bride in Her place. Cause, She'll recognize Her position in the Word, then She's in Christ, will put Her in Her place. No national force will do it. But the national force did drive Israel to the homeland; the national forces of the Council of Churches will drive every organization into it; but the Power of God will raise the Bride into Glory, out of it.
*God has to raise up the people in each age that he had chosen before the foundation of the world knowing that they would have the ability to receive the word for their age, and with the help of the anointing released on them by God for that age, they would achieve the work of God for their age and fulfill all the prophecies of the word pertaining to their age.
*When Mary (the mother of Jesus). When her parents married and she was conceived in the womb of her mother, that was by the predestinated will of God.
God predestinated her to be the person connected to the prophecy for that season of when certain parts of the word would be fulfilled in her life.
**This is why each one of us are born into a specific age and at an exact time in history and by the exact parents that God by His great foreknowledge had put together – it is mind boggling when you begin to think about the complexity of how God arranges it all.
INFLUENCE_ BEAUMONT.TX SUNDAY_ 64-0315
28 A doctor told me, said, "I cannot believe the story of Christ, because I can't believe the virgin birth." He said, "I don't believe there is such a thing.'"
29 I said, "The natural birth is more mysterious to me than the virgin birth."
30 The natural birth, to see how it happens, and how it's decided, when that's pollened, which egg, when there is thousands of germs and thousands of eggs. Not the first two meets, that settles it, but maybe... You say, "Well, if two in front." Oh, no. See, it'll stand. One maybe will raise up, the germ from the very back of the sperm, on this side, and the middle one of the egg it decides whether it's going to be a girl or a boy, black-headed, red-headed, blue eyes, or whatever it's going to be. Something makes that decision. The rest of them is done away with.
31 It's so mysterious to see the work of God, and then to see people with the little finite mind, like we are, try to deny His great works!
150-1 SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4
See how this works. God always had His thoughts for Adam. Adam, as His thoughts, was yet unexpressed.
Psalms 139:15-16 will give you a little idea of this,
"My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in Thy book were all my members written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."
That, as I said, was not written about Adam but it gives you the idea and knowledge that the thought was there in His mind, and that thought was eternal and had to be expressed. So when Adam was formed of the dust of the earth and his spiritual being created by God, then Adam became God's thought expressed, and those eternal thoughts were now manifested.
Down through the centuries we could go. We find a Moses, a Jeremiah, a John the Baptist, and each one of these were God's eternal thought expressed in its season. Then we come to Jesus the LOGOS. He was the perfect and complete THOUGHT expressed and He became known as the Word. That is what He IS, and forever WILL BE.
Now it says that "He hath chosen us IN HIM (Jesus) before the foundation of the world." That means that we were right there WITH Him in the mind and thoughts of God before the foundation of the world. That gives an ETERNAL quality to the elect. You can't get away from that.
**God has a purpose for you to fulfil a certain portion of the word of His prophecy in your life, and this is why that it looks like God has strange ways of dealing with us in our lives of what our limited intelligence can grasp.
All the bad things that happen to us in life we often misinterpret that God is not caring for us properly. But God has to train you for the job that He has for you to do, and so He has to purify you for that job.
**This is why when you are going through some of the greatest challengers of your life, it is not that God wants to put you out of existence, it is God’s way of purify the gold of what you are, because it is to be His deity reflected in your humanity – the word of God expressing itself in human flesh.
**In the old time when a man takes gold and puts it in the fire, and holds it in the fire, you may think that that is a wicked man for doing that, why is he burning the gold in the fire? But he knows that the fire can’t destroy the gold - he is just purifying the gold.
The fire can’t destroy one ounce of the gold, all the fire does is remove all the dross out of the gold.
And then if you saw a man beating the gold, you might say, “Why is he beating the gold like that?” The man knows that the gold will not break with the beating - He is beating it so that he will be able to see himself reflected in the gold.
REVELATION 7:1-14
1 ¶ And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. (these are the Jews that will respond to the message of the two prophets that God will send them – it will be those who accept these prophets and are sealed in the foreheads by the revelation that these prophets teach them, and that will identify them as the people of this prophecy)
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 ¶ And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
316-2 PHILADELPHIAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.8
…Jesus has come. He has sealed the 144,000. He took 12,000 out of each tribe. But there is another group that doesn't belong in this 144,000 who are seen in verses 9-18. Who are they? These are in the bride taken from amongst the Gentiles. (So he is paralleling what will happen to these 144,000 Jews in parallel to what has taken place to an end time gentile people under a gentile prophet. These people taken out from among the Jews (the 144,000), they are identified by receiving the message of their two Jewish prophets, and so this is also showing us the same pattern of a gentile people called the bride of Christ that will be taken out from amongst the gentiles by a gentile prophet - they will identify themselves by receiving the message of a gentile prophet) They are before His throne day and night. They serve Him in the temple. They are the special care of the Lord. They are His bride.
The bride goes wherever the Bridegroom is. She will never be left by Him. She will never leave His side. She will share the throne with Him. She will be crowned with His glory and honor.
THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E
536-6 {81} Now, now, we're going to speak here now on this 7th chapter just a minute to--to kinda bridge it in between Sixth and Seventh Seal, because that's the only material that we have to go on right now, is the Sixth--between the Sixth and Seventh Seal, is the calling out of Israel.
(The mystery of the half hour of silence is sealed up in the seventh chapter of Revelation, because the seventh chapter is a people being revealed by them receiving a prophetic message – and that was also the identification of the people of every church age of being identified under their messenger’s message – so there is both a Jewish group and a gentile group, and both groups will be known by their response to their corresponding prophets. **What the seventh trumpet is to the Jew, the seventh seal is to the bride – so both the Seventh Trumpet and the Seventh Seal is the revealing of Christ through the message of the messengers sent by God to an elected group of people in order to show them who they are in their relationship to Christ)
….Now, notice, Israel--Israel believes only her prophets, and after they are vindicated. (Notice – it is only this 144,000 group that will recognize and receive these prophets – so if you are a jew that is one of these of the 144,000 group, then the qualification (that will reveal you as a part of the people of this prophecy) is by you acting out this portion of the word by receiving the revelation of what is taught through the mouth of these prophets, and that is then the sealing in your forehead, because your forehead is your revelation (THE.TEN.VIRGINS.AND.THE.HUNDRED.AND.FORTY.FOUR.THOUSAND.JEWS_ JEFF.IN ROJC 425-492 SUNDAY_ 60-1211M 250 …Your forehead is your revelation) – so this is showing something of the seventh seal, because the seventh seal reveals Christ to His earthly bride by the revealing of the son of man ministry, but then it also reveals Christ’s body on earth that is in the form of a people called His earthly bride – these are the ones who will prove by their own choosing to be faithful to the message that has come to them by a gentile prophet)
When the first went forth, it was a lion. That was prophet's Word. The next went forth was the work, sacrifice. The next come forth was the cunningness of--of man. But we are promised in the last day that to return to the church again for the benefit of straightening up all that has been misled--misundone--left undone, for it's predicted here that the seventh angel's message would finish the mysteries of God.
…Now, could you imagine when this person comes on the scene--when he does, remember, it'll be so humble and things till the churches will miss it a long ways (He is speaking of protestant gentile denominational churches). And could you imagine the churches, still under the tradition of the reformers, would ever receive a prophet from God who would be firmly against their teachings and organizations?
…I don't care how many tracts that the Gentiles get over there and spread out. I don't care how much you go through Israel with a Bible under your arm proving this, that, or the other; they'll never receive nothing but a prophet. (It will take these two Jewish prophets for these ones to responded to, because that is the prophecy – they will never respond to gentiles trying to convert them to Christianity, because that is not what the prophecy tells us, and it is impossible to change scriptural prophecy) That's exactly right. For a prophet is the only one who could take the Divine Word and put It in Its place and be a vindicated prophet; they'll believe it. That's right.
***So this is why denominational teaching will never reveal Christ to the end time bride no more than it will reveal Christ to the Jews – Christ will only be revealed to the 144,000 through the ministry of their two prophets.
This is why Revelation chapter 7 is showing both groups of elected Jews and an elected gentile bride being called out by their own prophets – it is showing us how the end time bride is identified, because they are the people of the prophecy whose names are sealed under that prophecy, and so the mystery of who these people are has been revealed in the last days by the opening of the seven seals.
**Prophecy is at work in your life – and it is so powerful that nothing will stop it because it is the power of God.
We have in our full possession the evidence that we are the people of the prophecy of an elected people of the bride of Christ of this end time age.
