The Seventh Seal Secret

Duration:1 hr 50 mins 35 secs

The Seventh Seal Secret

REVELATION 8:1

     1     ¶ And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

All the others previous seals were described in a symbol form, but when he gets to the seventh seal, it just said “there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour”, when something is silent, then that is showing that God had a purpose to keep this seventh seal a secret. “don’t say nothing about it – keep silent

REVELATION 10:7

     7   But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

The Seventh Seal Secret

REVELATION 8:1

     1     ¶ And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

Notice - that with all the other seals, there were pictorial symbols given

First seal – A White horse - bow but no arrows

Second seal – Red horse – peace taken from the earth

Third seal – Black horse - a measure of wheat for a penny

Forth seal – Pale horse – the riders name was death

Fifth seal – souls under the alter - white robes were given unto them

Sixth seal - a great earthquake – moon became as blood

Seventh seal – silence in heaven – no symbol, a total secret.

THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E

532-5 {51} …Then when the Seals were open, God (notice here), He omitted revealing even any symbol of the Seventh one. See? It's a perfect secret with God.

THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E

564-2 {301} …Notice now, for the end-of-time message, this Seal. After all, He--He's revealed all the six Seals, but it don't say nothing about the Seventh. And the end time Seal (he is referring to the seventh seal), when it starts (Notice – this seventh seal is something that starts, so it has to be an event of these last days), will be absolutely a total secret according to the Bible. Before knowing that... And remember, Revelations 10:1, 7 (1-7, chapter 10:1-7) at the end of the seventh angel's message, all the mysteries of God would be known. We're at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.

So the seventh angel is telling us plainly that we are living at the end time when this seventh seal is to be open because all the mysteries are to be known at the sounding of the seventh angel’s message, and so the seventh seal that had remained a total secret up until this time is promised to be opened to a people (the bride) at the sounding of the seventh angels message.

All the other seals symbolised pictorially the events of what the church had already gone through since the first church age, or show what will happen in the future, but the seventh seal is the event that is to take place right now amongst the true bride of Christ at this evening time age (not past or future, but right now in the presentence) – but yet it will be a total secret to the public, but it is known to the bride.

CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728

106     God's great mystery of how, it's a secret. He kept it a secret. Nobody knowed nothing about it. Even the Angels didn't understand it. See, He didn't reveal it. That's the reason, under our seventh mystery, when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence. Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said, "It's not... Even the Son Himself don't know when it's going to happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's a secret. And that's the reason there was silence in Heaven for a space of a half hour, and seven thunders utter their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it, see, the Coming of the Lord. (He is telling us clearly that this “end time seal”, the “seventh seal” is the secret of the coming of the Lord – his first coming as a babe in a manger was a public coming, but his second coming is promised to be a secret coming) That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come (Notice - two things are to be revealed under this seventh seal “how he will come” and “when he will come”). It's a good thing that He doesn't. No.

107     He has showed or revealed it in every type that's in the Bible. (Genesis 1v1-4) Therefore, the entire Bible is the revelation of God's mystery in Christ. Hum! The entire Bible is an expression of one goal that God had, one purpose He wanted to achieve in the entire Bible. And all the acts of the--of the believers in the Bible has been in type, and expressing what God's great goal is, and now in this last day He has revealed it and shows it. And God's help, well, you'll see it right here this morning, what the Lord has had in His mind all along, and has expressed it.

108   Therefore, you can see the great meaning of what it's been to know this, and then try to bring it to the people. See? And then you don't... I haven't went into details to try to explain It as God has revealed it to me. (Remember that he was told by the angel not to try to explain the third pull to the public as he did with the first and second pull)

THE.FIRST.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318

142-3 {171}   …Now, what's under this Seventh Seal, don't--don't go down and tell that, for if I tell John that, then all down through the age the whole plan will be broke: it's a secret." See? He just wants to...

His coming... He said, "I--I... Nobody's going to know when I'm coming; I'm just coming." See, see? That's all. It ain't for my business to know when, I'll just be ready. You see? So...

II PETER 3:10

     10   But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night (a thief comes secretly not publicly – the scripture is telling us that his second coming would be a secret); in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

JOHN 10:10a

     10   The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:

So Christ’s second coming would be as a thief in the night (Christ is not a thief, but it is describing to us the manner of his second coming) – we could paraphrase this by saying that “in the darkness of the Laodicean church age, at that time Christ would come unnoticed and unperceived – his coming would be a secret, it would not be known to the majority”, and according to the scripture, a thief comes to do three things “Steal”, “Kill”, and “Destroy”

First He comes and Steals his bride as Romeo stole Juliet

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD THURSDAY_ 61-0112

582-448 ….He gets a ladder, you know, like... What was that play, Leo, where the man put the ladder up the side of the house? Romeo--Romeo and Juliet. That's right, put the ladder up and stole his bride away.

Now, He's just coming down Jacob's ladder, and say, "Psst, Sweetheart, come here. Psst, psst." See, we're going up to meet Him.

Then after stealing away his bride like a thief in the night…

Then He “kills” with spiritual separation those who have rejected His message of grace.

And then after that He brings judgement upon the earth and “destroys” those who have destroyed the earth by their scientific knowledge of perversion and pollution because this is the great day of his vengeance when he will destroy man from off the face of the earth as it was in Noah’s day and in Lot’s day.

I THESSALONIANS 5:1-7

     1     ¶ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

     2   For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. (The second coming will not be a public coming as the denominational people think, his third coming with his bride will be public, but his second coming is a secret only known to the bride herself)

     3   For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (The end time judgement of this age will be global and cataclysmic, so you will not be able to escape just as it was in Noah’s day, because only Noah and his group escaped the judgment at that time, and only Branham and his group will escape the judgment at this time)

     4   But ye, brethren, are not in darkness (remember - darkness in the bible is spiritual ignorance of your day and its message), that that day should overtake you as a thief. (What day? – The day of Christ’s second coming and the vengeance of our God – there will be a people in this age that will come out of darkness and into the evening time light. “it shall be light about the evening time, the path to glory, you will surely find”)

     5   Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

     6     ¶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others (sleep is to be in an unconscious condition of what is going on around you); but let us watch and be sober.

     7   For they that sleep sleep in (Laodicea) the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

**So the bible is telling us that the true bride of Christ will not be in the ignorance of the people of Laodicea.

***Because what puts you in the spiritual condition of Laodicea is because you are in the dark when it comes to the revelation and light of this hour. When you are ignorant of what God is doing in this day, then that is what identifies you with Laodicea, and so that is why God sent you a prophet, to take you out of the ignorance of the Laodicean age and into the revelation of this hour which is the bride age – from darkness to light – God separating light from darkness as he did in Genesis 1.

**The age you are in is to do with your revelation.

There was a revelation for each age, and that is what identifies the people of that age, so in this age if you are in the ignorance of the denominations, then that identifies you with the Laodicean age, but if you are in the revelation of the word of the hour as spoken by Malachi 4, then that puts you in the bride age.

I.HAVE.HEARD.BUT.NOW.I.SEE_ SHREVEPORT.LA V-7 N-3 SATURDAY_ 65-1127E

187 …This is not a Pentecostal age. This is the latter-day age. This is the Bride age. This is the evening Light. This is when Malachi 4 must be fulfilled, to follow God's pattern. This is Luke 17:30, to be fulfill. This is the second...

MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-13 SUNDAY_ 65-0221M

80     We have also two thoughts of this Marriage And Divorce. Now, that, our Lord has opened the Seven-Seal mystery of His Word to us, in this last days. Now, many of you, this might be Greek to you, but my church understands. By what? And you've heard of the visions and what taken place. And the question is a Bible question, we are invited here to believe there must be a true answer to the whole hidden secret that's been hid since the foundation of the world. And the Bible prophesies and says that in this day these secrets would be made known. Revelations 10, "And at the sounding of the seventh angel, the Laodicea messenger, the mysteries of God would be made known." And this is the last age, which is Laodicea.

**So what takes you out of the Laodicean age is when the mysteries of this hour are revealed to you.

THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E 564-2 {301}   …After all, He--He's revealed all the six Seals, but it don't say nothing about the Seventh. And the end time Seal (notice that he calls the seventh seal the “end time Seal”), when it starts, will be absolutely a total secret according to the Bible. (what was to remain a total secret according to the Bible until this hour? – the secret of His coming - MARK 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father) Before knowing that... And remember, Revelations 10:1, 7 (1-7, chapter 10:1-7) at the end of the seventh angel's message, all the mysteries of God would be known. We're at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.

**So the opening of the seventh seal (the secret of Christ’s second coming) will be a total secret to the public, but it will be revealed to the bride according to Revelation 10 verse 1-7.

THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0324E

576-5 {397}   Now, we have in the completion here now, by the grace of God, all the mysteries of the six Seals that's been sealed up, and we understand and know here that the Seventh Seal is not to be known to the public.

Now, His coming, and the hour of His coming, when the destruction of the earth... You know, he said there, "What will be the sign of the coming of the end of the world?" In Matthew 24, there where they asked Him that question, He went down to that. He told about Israel being gathered as a nation in the 31st verse of Matthew 24:31. But then He started off on parables. See? Then, you see there, "Learn a parable of the fig tree. When you see it putting forth its buds, why, you know spring's nigh." And then, "When you see this coming to pass, then know the time is nigh."

GOD.HIDING.HIMSELF.IN.SIMPLICITY_ ALBQ.NM FRIDAY_ 63-0412E

305     No good teacher believes that the Church, the Bride... The church goes through the Tribulation, but not the Bride. The church goes through, for purification, sure, under the sixth seal. (Remember that each seal is identified with a group of people.

The first seal revealed the early church under the lion anointing, the second seal shows the martyr group, the third seal deals with the man age group, the forth seal is identified with the Pentecostal group, the fifth seal shows the souls under the alter group, the sixth seal deals with the church group that is purified, and so what seal is identified with the end time bride group? – it is the seventh seal that is identified with the end time bride right now, because this is the time and season of the second coming of Christ) Right. Israel does the same thing, for the hundred and forty-four thousand, but not the Bride. There's... (Don’t explain this..)

306   The Bride is forgiven. She goes straight to Glory, in a Rapture. That's right. She, my opinion, the last member will be caught up, one of these days. It might come, and you wouldn't know nothing about it. Remember, it's a secret, secret catching away. "He'll come in an hour that you think not." You won't know nothing about it. (What is he saying? He’s not talking about the bride not knowing anything about it, it is the public that will not know anything about it, but the bride will know all about it because that is what is promised to the bride under this end time Malachi 4 and Revelation 10 ministry, it won’t be a secret to her) She'll be gone; be too late then.

This great secret of the coming of the Lord is known only to the bride just like in Noah’s day it was known only to Noah and his group under that message of that hour.

MATTHEW 24:27-37

     27   For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

     28   For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

___________

**Expound – When brother Branham preached the seventh seal in Jeffersonville on the 24th of March 1963, when he finished preaching that sermon we must understand that the seventh seal was only beginning to open (the revelation of it), and because it wasn’t meant for the public he just had to stop like the spirit had warned him to in previous visions, he was forbidden to try to explain the third pull like he had with the others, and so he couldn’t explain it like he had done with the other 6 previous seals. And so what happened was that the mystery of the seventh seal continued to open from that night that he preached the seventh seal right on until the last message of Communion that he preached in 1965, but it was opened by God in such a way that He would hide it from the wise and the prudent and “reveal” it unto babes that were willing to learn.

***And that is why some people in the message still think that the seventh seal is closed because of the way that God chose to reveal it – he doesn’t say it right out plain so you can learn it like going to school and learning 1+1=2, it is not an intellectual something that you can learn like a history lesson, it is something that is revealed and is present tense – so he had to keep it hidden from the public, because the public can learn something but they cannot receive spiritual revelation.

    

And so in Mathew 24 which is also the seven seals, once he gets to the seventh seal it looks like it remains closed, but as you continue to go along he is revealing the secret of it.

MATTHEW 24:36-44

36   But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. (That’s the seventh seal – the coming of the Lord, but it looks like it is final “NO Man knows the day or the hour” and many stop there, but the scripture doesn’t stop there, he begins to open the seventh seal secret of his coming little by little as he goes along from this point on just like he did from 1963 to 1965)

     37   But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

     38   For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

     39   And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away (The scripture is telling us that it wasn’t known to the public in Noah’s day – it was only known and revealed to Noah and his group); so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

     40   Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Why was Noah and his group taken and the all the others left behind for the judgement of that time? The only difference was that this seventh seal secret of the coming of the Lord and the judgement was revealed to Noah and his group and not to the others.

     41   Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

     42   Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. (The public don’t know it, but Noah and his group knew it, he is showing what the difference is between those who are going and those who are not going)

     43   But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. (Notice again - it was because he didn’t know it – that was what made all the difference)

     44   Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh (The seventh seal over and over again continuing).

MATTHEW 25:1-13

     1     ¶ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

     2   And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

     3   They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

     4   But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

     5   While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

     6   And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. (Notice carefully – a voice at midnight revealing the coming of the Lord – there is your Seventh Seal being revealed again)

     7   Then all those virgins (the ones that heard this voice in the midnight hour) arose (they all came out of denominational systems when they heard that voice), and trimmed their lamps. (These are not denominational harlots, these are virgin message believers who have come out of the harlot system, they are all virgins to the word of this hour)

     8   And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. (So this request of the foolish virgins to the wise virgins is taking place between the announcement of the Lords coming by the opening of the seven seals in 1963, and the going into the marriage supper of the Lamb at the rapture - Between that time)

     9   But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. (It costs you something to get the oil in this hour – there is a cost and an effort involve because the bride makes herself ready by putting on the clothing of the revealed word of the hour)

     10   And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

     11   Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. (Something was opened to the wise that wasn’t open to the foolish, and by the time the foolish virgins realised it, it was too late.

*The wise virgins had already been walking in light while the others had remained in ignorance and darkness. The wise could see while the others could not see.

What made the difference between them was that the wise understood because it was revealed to them and that gave them light to walk in, but the foolish remained in darkness concerning and truth and secret of this hour, sure they came out of the denominations and they were virgins, but they never went into Christ the word – and all this is taking place right now under this message)

     12   But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you (to the foolish virgins), I know you not.

(He knew them not because without faith (which is the revelation of the hour), it is impossible to please God. God is not pleased with a trinity doctrine faith, and God is not pleased with “the seventh seal is not opened” faith either, he doesn’t know that faith, God only knows and recognises His own revelation for this hour in the heart of the true believer)

     13   Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

The Seventh Seal Secret

If we know these things, then it is the grace of God to us…
