The Last Will and Testament of God

MATTHEW 8:11-12

     11   And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west (Gentiles), and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. (This is bible prophecy, so it cannot fail to come to pass. And so we know that there is going to be a real future great kingdom with real people walking its streets – and heavens and earth may pass away, but this prophecy cannot fail)

     12   But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(We are taught by the message of the hour that this outer darkness is the “tribulation” period of where there will be a time of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. And so we know that many people of whom will make up the citizens of that great kingdom that is to come will first have to go through the purging of a tribulation period of which they will be purged first before they can receive their white robes – and the opening of the 5^th seal shows us that in symbol form)

MATTHEW 22:11-13

     11   And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

     12   And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

     13   Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(Again - this “outer darkness” here is the tribulation period, because this is what separates the wedding garment category people from those who are not in the wedding garment of the gentile bride category – and so this “outer darkness” here does not mean that this is hell and that the person is lost eternally)

REVELATION 7:9-10, 13-15

     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; (These are gentiles – and notice that this group is so big that no man could even number them, let’s just say probably at least 100’s of millions – because the grace of God is far bigger than we could ever have imagined)

     10   And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

_____________

     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 (John is not able to identify this group and category). And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation (These are all the gentile people that are not apart of the gentile bride group but yet will be saved out of the great tribulation period after the rapture), and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

     15   Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them (The King with His queen dwelling among His subjects).

The Last Will and Testament of God

**In our last two services, we have been speaking on the subject of “Stay and Look on This” of which we took the dream of brother Junior Jackson that brother Branham tells us about in the message “Is This the Sign of the End Sir” of how that in Junior Jackson’s dream he saw Brother Branham take a sharp crowbar and wedge off the top of a pyramid type rock to expose this white granite stone of which light had never shone on that portion of truth before. *And so this dream was showing us in symbol form the purpose of Brother Branham’s ministry in that his ministry was sent to shine a light on the word that would open up our understanding to a greater depth of revelation of God’s redemptive love that has never been seen before until this end time age.

**But before that revelation of God could be fully comprehended, as shown by the dream, it required a people that were by prophecy ordained to keep looking at that portion of the rock of which light had not shown on before, and that rock is symbolic for the revelations contained in the message of the hour of which so many have since run away from the truths of the message over the years by various distractions of false ministries and other things.

***And this is why that those of us who have remained and kept looking at and studying this message that God has sent to us in this end time age, of whom have faithfully keep looking at it for all these years, that we are now beginning to see more clearly that the opening of the seven seals is the declaration of the final will and testament of God - in that the message of this hour symbolically declares by name every individual that is ordained to eternal life, and even places them positionally in the future kingdom.

IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E

15-1   And said, "Then you picked up something, like from the air, something like a wrecking bar, or--or a crowbar," wasn't it, brother? Something like that, a wrecking bar, real sharp, and said, "How you done it, I don't know." And said, "You struck the top of that mountain, ripped it around, and lifted the cap of it off. It was in the shape of a pyramid. And you ripped the top of it off." Now, that was months and months and months before the pyramid message was preached. And said, "Beneath that was white stone, granite, and you said, 'The sun, or the light, has never shined on this before. Look in on this. Watch this.'"

And that's right, because in the formation of the world, the world was formed before there was light. We all know that. God moved upon the water, and--and then in the beginning He spoke for light. And naturally, down under there in the age that formation was, that light had never come upon that stone. (Stone is symbolic for revelation – and so this is symbolizing a revelation (or truth) that has never been seen before, but now we have come to a time of when we are in need of this spiritual food in due season to be released to us, and we have been commanded to eat that revelation – to internalize it)

15-3   And he said, "Look upon this. Light has never come upon it before." And when all of them got up, and I told them to watch that, and all of them come up to look in. But he said while they were looking in, he looked out of the corner of his eye, I believe it was, and watched me. I slipped off to one side and started going towards the west, towards the setting of the sun, coming up a hill, going down a hill, coming up a hill, going down a hill, getting smaller and smaller, and went all the way out of sight. (His ministry would decrease, but the revealed word of the hour would increase in clarity for those who would stay and keep watching that white rock, but too many people were only interested in the man and his gift of healing – just like those people who only followed Jesus for the natural benefits that he could provide to them)

And he said then, when I did that... He said, "Then the brethren turned around after while, and said, 'Did he vanish? Where did he go?'" And said, "Some took out that way, some took one way, and some another, but a very few stayed and looked on to what I had told them."

In other words, they were more interested in William Branham (the man) then the opening of the revealed word that his ministry came to introduce to them.

**But there were some of us who have stayed and kept looking at the opening of the word for these past 60 + years (since the opening of the seven seals in 1963), and now we are beginning to see things concerning the title deed of redemption with a clarity that we have never seen before.

PSALM 145:15 was our opening scripture from last week..

     15   The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

*The rock that we have been told to stay and look upon, it is the message of the hour of the complete unveiling of God. And so our “eyes” must “wait upon thee” until the revelation of the food in due season is given out for us to eat – “eat the book John”.

*Because the title deed of the power of everything that Adam possessed in Eden has to come back into the possession of man again so that the sons of God can be fully manifested of what they were in the beginning of how God created a man in the image of God to be.

**And so this is the destination that we are still trying to head towards with this series – to build faith for the creative power of the spoken word to be manifested back amongst us again - “if you say to this mountain”. And we have been seeing glimpses of this already in our lives.

****But before we can have the faith to manifest that power of our rightful inheritance, we must first establish very very clearly that we are indeed the end time group that is to be the beneficiary of that power.

**We have looked at how that there are other categories of people that the book of revelation identify that will receive eternal life and have different positions in the great kingdom of heaven that is to come, and we were able to identify these different groups of people in the scriptures by looking at their personal revelation of God by the nature of the words of their songs of worshiped.

*And this is a key that we have also seen down through time with the many hymns that have been written throughout the centuries in that the themes and words of those hymns that were written at different times reflected the revelation that God had released to them for their time and season.

*And so we found out that this was one of the keys that clarified the identification of the different categories of the groups that are spoken of in the book of Revelation - because each time a certain level of a revelation of God was released upon a certain group, they wrote a new song of praise that reflected that revelation.

REVELATION 5:9

     9   And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; (This is the song of the gentile bride after the opening of the Seven Seals – they have a clear revelation of the opened book)

REVELATION 14:3

     3   And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

This is speaking of the song of the 144,000 redeemed Jews after they have received the revelation of Christ as their messiah – and so no one else could understand the true meaning of their song unless they were a part of that group and had the same revelation. And so each group has their own song.

*And this is why that when we get to Revelation chapter 7, these two groups of first Jews and then gentiles that will be saved out of the tribulation period (after the rapture of the gentile bride of 7 church ages has taken place) are both identified by their words of worship.

**It is during the great tribulation period after the rapture that the 144,000 elected Jews are sealed in their foreheads by the revelation of the word that is opened up to their understanding by their two prophets Moses and Elijah of which their message will reveal Christ to them – their seventh trumpet.

**But then also during this time of the tribulation period, there is also this huge number of gentile people from all nations that no man can even number that will receive white robes (perfected human bodies), and that will become subjects and have positions in the great eternal kingdom of heaven that is to be established for all of eternity.

REVELATION 7:9-10

     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. Notice that their song is very limited in revelation – “Salvation to our God” They are saved in the same way like as the Jews under the altar of the fifth seal were saved due to being blinded.

THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E (Brother Branham is speaking about Revelation CH.7)

545-1 {141}   ... First we start now, Israel, and then we see the purged church, not the Bride, the purged church by tribulation (See, see?) coming up here, great number of real sincere hearts that come up out of--of the great tribulation. Not the Church, it's gone on--the Bride. There's the church.

Now, we find out over a little later, Jesus said that the throne would set and how the--they'd stand in the judgment, each one. Now, we find now that these people were sealed with the Seal of the living God (Is that right?), these Jews. What is the Seal of the living God? Now, I'm not calling any--hurt any feelings, I'm just saying it. See? Do you know that reading after many of scholars who write on this, claim that this group here, blood washed, are actually the Bride? Did you know that many scholars also claim that the hundred and forty-four thousand is the Bride? What a... There's something got to fit out here wrong--in here right, 'cause there's something wrong now.

**And so we want to study this a little more on this Revelation Chapter 7, because when the Holy Spirit through Brother Branham first begins to open this seventh seal, he first begins by identifying these two groups in the great tribulation period of Revelation Chapter 7 of the 144,000 elected and sealed Jews under their two prophets Moses and Elijah, and then also this other group that no man could number of a gentile people who are not the bride but will be saved out of the great tribulation period after the rapture has taken place. Because up until this time of when Brother Branham preached on the seventh chapter of Revelation, he had always taught very emphatically that this gentile group of the second part of Revelation chapter seven was the gentile bride – but when the true revelation was opened on the evening of the 24^th of March 1963, it showed that they were not the bride but another gentile group made up of foolish virgins and many other categories of saved people.

*Because when the title deed of the last and final testament of God was opened up by the opening of the seven seals, it had to first clearly identify each of these different groups of who they were and are.

**Because you can’t do anything with the distributing of inheritances until you first reveal and clarify the name of who it is that is to receive the inheritance, because there are many categories of eternal life that will receive different levels of inheritances and rewards and positions within the kingdom of heaven.

MATTHEW 25:32-34

     32   And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

     33   And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

     34   Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

*When a person receives an inheritance, it is usually in connection with the opening up and the reading of the last will and testament of someone of wealth who has recently died.

*And it is this last will and testament that is the final word of what dictates and establishes a person’s future state and position and wealth within the domain of the testator.

**And so this is what has been taking place since the opening of the seven seals, in that it begins to reveal the different categories of who will inherit the earth.

And so the opening of the word (the revealing of the mysteries of the bible) had to first identify and clarify each group and category right down to the symbolic identification of every person that would be in that eternal kingdom, and of what their inheritance and position will be in that future kingdom – and then at this individual level, each person in the kingdom will have their own individual song of worship that is unique to them.
