uted to <strong>God</strong>’s Word. “… if they speak not according to this Word,<br />

it is because there is no light in them.” (Isa. 8:20).<br />

Admittedly, there are difficult statements in <strong>God</strong>’s Word and in<br />

the message as well, statements which we must put into the correct<br />

divine order. For instance, our Lord said back then, “… Ye<br />

shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be<br />

come …” (Mt. 10:23). He also said, “Verily I say unto you, That<br />

there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of<br />

death, till they have seen the Kingdom of <strong>God</strong> come with power.”<br />

(Mk. 9:1). We have to view such statements in the correct context<br />

according to the plan of Salvation and in their fulfilment.<br />

The law and the prophets were until John (Lk. 16:16), from that<br />

time on the Kingdom of <strong>God</strong> was being preached. On the Day of<br />

Pentecost it came down with power, as it had been announced<br />

by John the Baptist in Mt. 3:2 and by our Lord in Mt. 4:17: The<br />

Church was born, received spiritual life, and the glorified Saviour<br />

walked in their midst. In Rev. 1 John saw the Son of man<br />

walking in His glory in the midst of His Church, represented by<br />

the seven golden candlesticks.<br />

The Apostle Paul included himself when he said, “Behold, I show<br />

you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.”<br />

(1. Cor. 15:51). We are now expecting the fulfilment thereof. The<br />

Apostle Peter made the declaration about the Scriptures and the<br />

writings of the Apostle Paul, saying that some things are difficult<br />

to comprehend (2. Pet. 3:15-16). No one should dare to explain<br />

or make a doctrine of what Brother Branham said in the hardto-understand<br />

statements. He said, for instance, “And when the<br />

seals are broken and the mystery is revealed, down comes the Angel,<br />

the messenger, Christ, setting His foot upon the land and upon the sea<br />

with the rainbow over His head. Now, remember, this seventh Angel<br />

is on the earth at the time of this coming.” Brother Branham was<br />

on earth when the “Angel of the Covenant” revealed Himself in<br />

the supernatural cloud. Quote: “That great Angel of the Covenant,<br />

that One Who was with Moses in the wilderness, that One Who come<br />

to Paul on the road to Damascus, that same One permitted His picture<br />

to be taken with us; the same One that was in the picture in the Life<br />
