Question 9: Do you believe that Rev. 10:1-7 was fulfilled?<br />

Answer: Rev. 10 is not fulfilled yet. As we have seen, it has<br />

no connection to the Church at all. Brother Branham<br />

was the messenger for the last church age<br />

(Rev. 3:14-22), not the seventh trumpet angel. He<br />

referred to Rev. 10 because it is the only Scripture<br />

that talks about seven thunders. But we recognise<br />

the prophetic nature of the two special events,<br />

which nevertheless remain separate from one another.<br />

For example, Matthew showed the fulfilment<br />

of Hosea 11:1 in chapter 2, verse 15, when referring<br />

to Jesus, “Out of Egypt I called my son …”, but<br />

that did not invalidate Ex. 4:22-23, “Israel is My<br />

son, even My firstborn … Let My son go, that he may<br />

serve Me …” Prophetic Scripture allows a dual application,<br />

but each time must be left in the context<br />

where it belongs according to the plan of Salvation.<br />

The actual fulfilment of Rev. 10 was foretold, as we<br />

can see from the following passages that testify of<br />

that special event. Once again we are shown the divine<br />

must that everything has to be founded upon<br />

more than one Scripture.<br />

The first keyword is “roar”.<br />

“He shall roar as a lion!” (Rev. 10:3).<br />

“… the Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his<br />

voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily<br />

roar …” (Jer. 25:30).<br />

“They shall walk after the Lord; he shall roar like<br />

a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall<br />

tremble from the west.” (Hos. 11:10).<br />

“The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his<br />

voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth<br />

shall shake; but the Lord will be the hope of His people<br />

Israel and the strength of the children of Israel.”<br />

(Joel 3:16).<br />
