Evidence from the New Land at Evening Time

GENESIS 8:4-11

     4     ¶ And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. (When God sends a prophet, if his message is rejected then judgment always follows the rejection of that prophet, and so these ones who had believed Noah’s message had been witness to the word of what Noah had preached for 120 years come to pass exactly as God had spoken it. So what we see here is that the ark had come to rest on the mountain top, so for a season they were held between the two worlds)

     5   And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

(The new land was finally coming into their view – just the tips of it, so again, for a period of time they were living in-between these two worlds of the old Antediluvian world and the new world after the judgement – they could see the new world appearing but were not able to go into that world just yet)

     6     ¶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

     7   And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. (He had plenty to eat so he never came back)

     8   Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

     9   But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

(You cannot proceed into the new world without the leadership of the dove – that is what we also required in this hour in association with the prophet that God has sent in this day, we need the leadership of the seventh dove, the Holy Spirit – because it is the dove that leads the eagle into the new land)

     10   And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

     11   And the dove came in to him in the evening (Evening time is harvest time, and harvest time is the end of the world, and that is the time that we are living in now, and in this day we see a prophet of God in the last few weeks of his life on earth tell us that that seventh dove was what he had been looking for his whole life, and when it came to him he knew that he was soon to cross over into another land – you can hear that in the message on the wings of a snow white dove (28th November 1965), and when he saw that seventh dove, then he knew his time of suffering on earth was over, and of course within a months he had crossed over into the new land); and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

** Here we see that a dove comes to Noah and his group with the evidence of that new land at evening time, and when that dove appeared to Noah with the evidence of the olive leaf, then they were able to cross over into the new world.

Evidence from the New Land at Evening Time

When I began to study for this subject, I was unsure as to where this trail in the word would lead to. It’s like hunting a large animal that you’re not sure of how big it is, or like when you’re fishing, you have an idea of the size of the fish by the way it pulls on the end of the line, but you can never be too sure until you get it to the surface.

So I am not expecting to finish this subject in one service – we also want to allow the Holy Spirit to speak into our personal lives through the ministry of his word. We want the word to be fresh and alive to our immediate needs of where we are in life so that we can be led by the leadership of the word.

Noah and his group were led into the new earth by the dove with a sign from above. One of the last messengers that brother Branham preached was leadership – you cannot lead yourself, you have to have a leader to guide you into that new world.

**We know that with all true revelation of the word, it must result in a greater relationship with the Lord and a greater unfolding of Christ who is actually the person of the word, because relationship with God is like any relationship, you cannot know God and relate to him without him first being revealed to you through the revelation of his word that he opens up to your understanding.

*To know Him is life when he reveals himself to you – that is what life actually is, it is a person, it is Christ the light of the word shining into your soul by the reveal word for your day, and he is the great creator who became our saviour, and all God’s fullness dwelleth in him.

*The man Jesus Christ is the invisible God made visible, but we cannot know him by a fleshly encounter, we can only know him by an encounter of his word being revealed to you by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

THIRST_ TUCSON.AZ V-16 N-6 SUNDAY_ 65-0919

121     We always say today, people try to say, "We compare. We've got to compare Bible leaf with Bible leaf, Scripture with Scripture." That isn't the Truth. No, it isn't the Truth. "This Greek word means this, and this means that." The Greeks themself, way back in the Nicaea Council, and them writers back in there, they had different forms. One believed this way, this Greek scholar meant this, and the other one said this one meant it this way. And they fussed over It. We don't need interpretation of Greek scholars or Greek words.

122   "To know Him is Life," the Person, Christ Himself! Not comparing. It's a revelation that God built His Church upon. And if we don't build upon that same Church... The Bible said, "Abel, by faith!" And faith is a Divine revelation. See, faith is a Divine revelation. All right. This whole Thing is built upon the revelation then, and unless this is revealed to you! Jesus said, "I thank Thee, Father, that Thou has hid these things from the wise of this world, and revealed it to babes such as will learn." See, now, the whole thing is built there, you've got to know the Person!

123     And you cannot satisfy that by joining church. You've got to find the Person, God Himself, which is the Word and--and interpretation of Hisself today, the promises that He made today.

**So we want to look into this subject of the evidence from the new land at evening time because we all want to go into that new land of the millennium after the judgement of this world is passed just like we saw in the events of the life of Noah and his group, but before we can be sure that that new land exists, and before we can actually enter into that land, we must receive some evidence of that future land to be brought back from that land into this land - a sign from above, on the wings of a dove, because this was what happen in the days of Noah, and as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days when the son of man is being revealed to his bride through the ministry of a gentile prophet at evening time – and that is the time that we are living in now.

***Only those who have seen that dove bringing back the evidence from that new land in this hour would be the ones who would go over into that new world of where that evidence came from.

**So this is a slightly deeper teaching of the message of the hour that we want to look into – and I pray that we can make it clear enough for even the younger ones among us to understand.

NUMBERS 13:17-18

     17   And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:

     18   And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

     19   And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;

(Notice that before they went into this new land, Moses commands his spies to first check to see if is a good land or not – that is a wise thing to do, you don’t want to put a lot of effort into something that you are unsure of what it will be like when you get there, you want to know that it is going to be a good land. Millions of people put so much effort into a religion that is not a good land when they get there like a land with hardly any fruit in it that cannot sustain life. So you want to have someone of trustworthiness to go over into that land and bring back a report of that land, and also to bring back some evidence that it is a good land)

     20   And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes. (We know that grape harvest is at the very end of the harvest time season of your three harvests of barley, wheat, and vintage – and grapes speak of wine which is the stimulation of the revelation of the word)

     21     ¶ So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

     22   And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

     23   And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs (Three types of fruit – all these fruits speak of a prosperous land).

     24   The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

     25   And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. (Forty speaks of judgement, and we know that they wondered around in the wilderness for forty years, and we also know that it rained for forty days and nights in Noah’s day, and then it was after the forty days that the dove brought back the evidence from the new land at the evening time of Noah’s day, and then we see here that after forty days they also brought back the evidence of the fruit of the land showing that it was a great land of prosperity – so these things cannot be just coincidences in the bible)

     26     ¶ And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land (Remember that these people were a people that were under the leadership of an exodus prophet just as we are in this day, and it was while they were still on their way to that land, and even before they had gone over into that land, that they were shown the evidence on this side from that new land that was on the other side. We think of brother Branham when he went beyond the curtain of time, he was able to bring back information of that land to us back on this side).

     27   And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

     28   Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

*So the good news was that this land where this evidence came from was a very good land of prosperity and wealth and blessing, but the bad news was that it was going to be a hostile environment until the enemy was eradicated from the land. So as a part of possessing the new land, they had to deal with the hostile environment within the land. Let me say that this message land has been a hostile environment.

***So we want to look at this application for the time that we are living in for this hour because we know that all these things in the bible were written for this end time because this is the real harvest time, and this is the real grape harvest where the real wine of the revelation of the word has come into existence of where the real promised land of eternal life of the fruit of the revealed word abides forever, and those of us who have been under the leadership of the exodus prophet of this hour, we have been witnesses to the evidence of these things.

**So we want to know about this land in this day and of what we have seen as the evidence of that land.

As Noah and his group rested in the ark upon the mountain top between the two worlds waiting for that dove to bring the evidence back of the new land, so we are also in this transitional time between the two worlds in this day.

THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_ 65-1125

192     You may say, "What's this all got to do with thanksgiving? What you talking about, Brother Branham? Here it is, quarter to nine. You didn't say nothing about thanksgiving." What a Message for the occasion, to me! Yes, indeed.

193   The pilgrim fathers were very thankful for their new-found way of life, being separated from the old English denominations and creed. They could marry to the new, anointed Word for their age; that's right, the new, anointed Word of their age, for their day.

194   So can we be thankful, as pilgrims, like Abraham, separated ourself from the things of the world, all of our associates. Abraham was a pilgrim. God has separated us from all the dead religions (We know that dead religions is a type of Egypt in this day – God has separated us from that in this hour by an exodus prophet’s message). I'm speaking across the nation now, all the dead creeds. And to what? Separated us, and opened to us a new land, a new Message for this day.

So the new land for this day is the new message at this evening time hour of what God has revealed of his word for this day. Just like we saw how that the Promised Land for Israel was the land of Canaan, and that land had giants in it, and many feared to possess it because of the giants and because they would have to drive out those giants in order to possess that land and enjoy the fruit of that land.

I have been looking at the battles of what it took for the Jewish people to possess the land of Israel again in this evening time age.

The War of Independence (1947–1949)

The Sinai War (1956)

The Six-Day War (1967)

The Yom Kippur War (1973)

And many more… It’s been a rough time for them, and it has also been for us.

***This land that we are to possess as message believers under this third exodus prophet is the land of the eternal church age after the opening of the seven seals. It is the land of the bride age dispensation of the opening of the entire mysteries of God when the mysteries would be finished at the time of the seventh angel’s message. This is the spiritual land that the third exodus prophet who called us out of spiritual Egypt (of the slavery of denominations), and has brought us into a new land of the truth of the message of the hour.

THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M

6-4   Now, we are approaching the Seven Seals. We've just finished the seven church ages, and this is a message on teaching that ties the man in that's going to be redeemed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus, and is going to be in that church age--that eternal church age at the end of the Seals.

He also calls this eternal church age the “Bride Age”, it is an age that will continue right on into eternity because it is the mighty God unfolding himself, and that unfolding of God will never have an end to it because He is the eternal God that has no end.

**Remember that that is what Adam fell from, Adam was separated from the fellowship of God unfolding himself to him, he was cut off from that fellowship with God by sin, and so this is the fellowship that has been restored to us by the opening of the seven seals. The mighty God has been unveiled to us in this day, and this is the new land, this is the eternal church age after the seven seals have been opened.

*So let’s go a little deeper with this subject by the help of God.

We know that when Ruth and Naomi left the country of Moab to go back to Bethlehem – it was a rough time for them. And Bethlehem means the house of God’s bread, and the bread of life is Christ the word, so Bethlehem is representing the bride age at this harvest time.

***And Ruth is coming through 4 stages of deciding, serving, resting, and rewarded. She does her deciding while in Moab after the death of her old husband (who is the type of a denominational headship), but she is serving, resting, and rewarded in Bethlehem, and so Moab is the old land, and Bethlehem is the new land.

RUTH 1:6-19

     6     ¶ Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.

     7   Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.

     8   And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

     9   The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.

     10   And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.

   11   And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

     12   Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;

     13   Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

     14   And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

     15   And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. (So here is the first part of Ruth deciding, and this is the first part of her four part stage from Moab to becoming a joint heir with Boaz in the new land)

     16   And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: (So we see here that while she was in Moab, that she had received a revelation through the testimony of Naomi of the true God of that land that she was soon go to dwell in)

     17   Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

     18   When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

     19     ¶ So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?

We all know the story of Rebeca at the evening time by the well of water where she hears the Eleazar call to come over into another land of where Isaac dwells, to be married to a man she had never seen before. And we notice how she received evidence from the hand of Eleazar from that new land at that evening time hour.

PROVING.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-6 SUNDAY_ 64-0816

138   …He said, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord, and make His paths straight!'" Was He preparing the way of the Word then, that the Word could be made manifest? Hallelujah!

139     Don't you see, in shadows? Stop here a minute. In the last days, there's got to be a place prepared for the Word to be made manifest, and we're now living by the evidence of the new Land, amen, the Son of man.

Notice what he is saying here “There's got to be a place prepared for the Word to be made manifest”. The place prepared for the word to be made manifest is in the bride age of where the son of man is being revealed to his bride, but this is 1964 when he is speaking this, right then he was saying that we were living by the evidence of the new land.

***The “evidence” of the new land of the bride age (the eternal church age) was the word that was being open at that time through the seventh angel’s ministry, because that was the time of Ruth deciding just before she went into the new land of Bethlehem a type of the bride age.

***The word that was being preached from 1963 to 1965 didn’t come from a denominational headquarters, it came from Eternity, and that was when Ruth (the gentile bride of this end time hour) was at her deciding stage (in type) after hearing of the evidence of the new land – the truth of the word.

**As individuals, we must also go through these same stages of when we hear the word from the new land calling us to that new land, we must make a decision to go into that new land of the eternal church age where the word keeps unfolding for eternity.

**Remember that that was when the children of Israel made their mistake was at Kadesh barnea when they listened to the false report of the ten spies.

SPEAK.TO.THE.ROCK.AND.IT.SHALL.GIVE.FORTH.HIS.WATER_ LAKEPORT.CA SATURDAY_ 60-0723

E-25   There's where they made their mistake, when they come to the judgment seat and brought back the evidence of a good land. I'm so glad that there was people years ago, who approached through all the formalities and went up and possessed the land and got the evidence and come back, that there's a land beyond the river. Amen. I'm so glad of that.

Now, they made their fatal mistake when they begin to murmur against Moses and against God's servants and against God, and it bypassed them. And remember, every one of them that murmured never went over into the land.

***Those that murmured against the third pull of Brother Branham’s ministry of the word that was being preached from the other land never went over into that land of the bride age to become one in marriage with Boaz.

**Now these are slightly deeper teachings of the message of the hour that we are going into.
