II KINGS 6:8-20
8 ¶ Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. (He’s planning his battle strategies against Israel with his men of war)
9 And the man of God (Elisha) sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down. (Every time the king of Syria makes his plans, they are thwarted by the prophet telling the king of Israel)
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? (In other words, who is the traitor among us that is leaking our plans to the enemy)
12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. (Elisha is able to hear what the king was saying in his private bedroom tens of miles away)
13 ¶ And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. (When trouble comes along, it pays to be a servant to the man of God for your day)
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
(Notice – Elisha’s sight was not limited to just one world, but he could see into two worlds, but his servant could only see the things that were taking place in this world, but when his servants eyes became opened under the ministry of Elisha, then he also saw into this unseen world - and that was what gave him a knowledge that brought about a peace in his heart in this time of trouble)
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha. (All the Syrian army had become blinded to the reality of what was taking place around them – it was this same spirit of Elisha that opened the eyes of his servant, and that closed the eyes of the understanding of his enemies)
19 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see (It was not that they had all become physically blind, but it was their understanding that was blinded to the surroundings of the world that they were living in – and this is proof that we don’t really see with our eyes, but we see with our minds, our understanding). And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

Andromeda is the nearest large galaxy to our own Milky Way galaxy. Its distance from us is around 2.5 million light-years away, so to get there from earth, we would have to travel at 186,000 miles per second for 2500,000 years. It is said to contain over a trillion stars in contrast to our own galaxy that is estimated to contain between100 - 400 billion stars, and at least that number of planets
Over the last few of decades, the more advanced man has become with his so-called scientific knowledge and wisdom, he has been finding out that many of the things of his discoveries in the past (of what he has been so sure about), and of what he had established as scientific fact, he has since been discovered that some of these so called “facts” have now been proven wrong, or at least partly wrong.
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered certain new galaxies that are apparently too large and mature to have been able to fit into the time frame of being able to be formed in such a short amount of time after the Big Bang.
In other word, galaxies seen only 500-700 million years after the Big Bang are so large that they pose a challenge to the time available for galaxy formation of that size to be formed in such a short time. And so this really messes up with what they thought was the timing of the Big Bang that they had so assuredly come to believe in as fact.
The more man learns about the universe and the complexity of life, he is beginning to realize more and more that the things of creation from the macro to the micro and especially at the quantum level are far more complex and complicated than what he had ever imagined possible. God does things so far advanced to man’s understanding that they are past finding out by man, because man’s intelligence is simply not capable of comprehending it.
JOB 9:10
10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
*Not too long ago, and for over 1,500 years, the accepted astronomical model was that earth was at the center of the universe with the sun and planets revolving around the earth – and you would be considered totally crazy to suggest anything different, because everyone knew that – it was simply a fact. But we’ve since found out that this was very far from the truth.
And the ongoing problem that man seems to be faced with, is that for every scientific question that we think we find the answer to, out of that one answered question arises at least ten more questions that are even more complex.
And so when we think we have completely proven something scientifically to our own satisfaction, then it’s often just a few decades or more down the road that we come to discover that we were completely wrong.
They tell us that we have never seen the world the way it truly is – because everything of what we think is real is really just the perception of the mind.
When we look out at the green grass in the field, we only perceive it to be green with our mind, but what is really the colour green? Because the reality is that it is just an electromagnetic frequency that your eyes interpret and perceive as green – but what it really is, is an electromagnetic wave.
And this is why that our minds can so easily interpret things different to the way that they really are. And this also explains why we are to never doubt the word of God by using our minds to reason things out. If our perception is different to the truth of the word of God, then it is simply our perception that is misleading us – we are blinded like the Syrian army was blinded at the time of the Elisha ministry – it was their perception of reality that was interfered with.
And so if the perception of our minds understanding is different to the word of God, then it simple means that our interpretation and understanding is wrong. And this is why you must never elevate your reasoning above the word of God – you are to cast down your own perception of reasoning.
II CORINTHIANS 10:5
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
You could get 6 people who have all just witnessed the same car accident, and it would not be uncommon for them to all have different interpretations of what they saw – and so this is why you cannot always trust what you see.
It used to be said that seeing is believing, but we are fast coming to understand (especially in this age) that you often can’t always believe what you see.
And this is especially relevant with all this fake AI content that is being created, and of what is only going to get far worse as time goes on.
*In the message “The Masterpiece” Brother Branham speaks about this great slab of a block of marble stone of which there was a masterpiece already existing on the inside of that marble that had yet to be revealed from the unseen world into this seen world.
**In other words, the statue of Moses was already existing in an unseen world, but it would take a man by the name of Michelangelo to catch the inspiration from God in order unlock and reveal what was hidden in that unseen world of that block of stone.
THE.MASTERPIECE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 SUNDAY_ 64-0705
31 But, then, one of the main things that interest me in Forest Lawn, was Michelangelo's, the great sculpture, the--the monument of Moses. It's a--a reproduction there, of course. It isn't the original, but it was such a--a great masterpiece. And as I stood and looked at it, I--I liked that, something that looks like it's (represents) got something to it.
32 I like art, real well. I believe God is in art. I believe God is in music. I believe God is in nature. …
33 But, this, and the masterpiece that Michelangelo had--had made, it--it cost him something to do that--that. He was a great man, and it cost a big part of his life, because he was many, many years in carving out. Just take a rock and of--of marble, and keep carving it. And, see, only the man, the sculptor himself, has in his mind what he's trying to do. He, he is the one. You might walk up and say to him, "What are you pecking on that rock for?" To the outsider, who doesn't know what's in his heart, it's nonsense. But to the man, the sculptor himself, he--he's got a--a vision in his mind, what he's trying to make, and he's trying to reproduce what he has on his mind in the form of a--of a monument. That's the reason he's digging it out of the rocks.
**We notice how that the masterpiece was already in the rock, and that it only required to be “dug” out of the rock by someone who was able to see into the world of where that masterpiece was hidden.
**Now catch this thought – True art is when a man catches the inspiration of the Almighty and is gifted by God in a way that is able to materialize that inspiration into a painting or a poem, or a sculpture, or even a Morris chair of something that already existed in an unseen world.
**We have spoken before about the Morris chair that the prophet saw on the other side – the Morris chair that he saw on that side was the original one of what a man on earth caught the inspiration of to make the one on earth that the prophet had had repossessed on this side.
**Like the famous portrait painting of the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci between 1503 and 1519.
It’s considered by many as one of the greatest portrait masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance. But let me suggest by the revelation of the message, that the Mona Lisa had always existed somewhere before in an unseen realm, but then was allowed by God to be “discovered” into this world by inspiration.
*In other words, God had had a man born on the earth by the name of Leonardo da Vinci that looked into an unseen world and caught the inspiration that resulted in the famous painting of the Mona Lisa.
JOB 32:8
8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
ECCLESIASTES 1:9-10
9 ¶ The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
When the Morris chair was crafted by Mr. Morris back in the late 1800’s, he might have argued that this was a new design of chair, not knowing that they already existed physically in another world that was unseen to him.
HEBREWS 1:1-2
1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
There are many worlds that are seen and unseen.
There is the animal world and of their many unseen habitats. There is the underwater world of sea life. There are worlds that are in other dimensions that exist not 20 feet from were we are now.
These worlds are not make-believe worlds; they are actually real worlds.
*When the prophet went beyond the curtain of time – he said that it was a world that was just as real and physical as this one of where he could feel and see and walk about and talk with real people that were in that world.
HEBREWS 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God (notice – many worlds all of which were framed by the creative word of God), so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

396-Q-82 82. Is there more than one world?
Yes, there's worlds of worlds, Hebrews the 1st chapter the 2nd verse, Hebrews the 11th chapter and the 3rd verse. There's worlds of worlds. God created the worlds, w-o-r-l-d-s, worlds.
*There are many worlds that exist of which we cannot perceive with our natural eyes, but we still know for sure that they are very real worlds because of how we can see the effects of these unseen worlds upon this world.
For example - take radio waves. We cannot physically see them, but we know that they exist because we can turn on a radio receiver and tune in and hear voices from an unseen place. Or a television set that brings an unseen world into this seen world.
In fact, everything in this world that we can see around us is constantly being affected by these other many worlds that are not seen.
**There is another type of unseen world, and that is the world of the fallen nature of man, and this is something that exists in an unseen world of the spirit realm of a man’s soul that is invisible to the natural eye.
But it is this unseen spirit world that is none the less very visible and is seen in our everyday life of the events that we get to witness in this seen world.
*All the troubles and sorrows and wars and violence and broken homes and all corruption that is in this world that we physically live in is coming from this realm of this unseen world of a man’s fallen nature.
And this is why there are so many troubles in the world today – domestic troubles, national troubles, political troubles, religious troubles, economic troubles, moral troubles, health troubles.
This is the time of trouble that Danial spoke of in DANIEL 12:1
1 ¶ And at that time shall Michael stand up (Michael is Christ – He is standing with His right foot upon the sea and His left foot on the land, Rome and America – that’s Revelation 10:2 ), the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
From WW1 on, we have been caught up in a time of trouble on a global scale such as the world has not known before. Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitance of the earth. WW1, WW2, and WW3, the 5th, 6th, and 7th Trumpet.
**All these things that we are seeing on earth are coming from an unseen world of another dimension.
II CHRONICLES 18:10-22
10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed. (big stage performances impress and influence people)
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.
13 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. (Big stage show performances weren’t going to influence him into agreeing with the crowds)
14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?
16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. (notice – he is seeing into another word that is an unseen world to the others)
19 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?
21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.
22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.
**What was taking place of the events that were happening in this world was the direct result of events that had been taking place in another world of an unseen realm.

E-94 ... What happened just now? I went into another world. It's an unseen world. We become so conscious of looking at one another like this. But there's a unseen world; and you... It's greater than anything you can see.
