THE SEVENTH SEAL  (1963-03-24E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(575-4) {390}  Notice, there is a whole earth is to be purged.  There will be such a thing that the moon, stars, and all nature will be purged.  You see what it is?  The earth is renewing herself, being purged, getting ready for the millennium.  The millennium's coming up.  And see, everything that's got any filth in it is to be purged during the Sixth Seal.

Now, now, do you notice on the opening of this Seventh Seal, it's also in a threefold mystery.  This one I have--will speak and have spoke, that it is the mystery of the seven thunders.  The seven thunders in heaven will unfold this mystery.   It'll be right at the coming of Christ, because Christ said no one knew when He would return.

(575-6) {392}  Did you notice when the Jews asked Him that?  You know when we compared the Scripture here with Matthew 24 with the six Seals, the Seventh Seal was left out; because (You see?), Christ said only God Himself knowed, not even the Angels.  No wonder, it wasn't even written.  You see, they hushed; nothing take place then.  Angels don't know it; nobody knows when He's coming.  But there'll be a...  There'll be seven voices of these thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time.

So I believe, to us who...  If we don't know it, and we--we--it won't be knowed till that time, but it will be revealed in that day, in the hour that it's supposed to be revealed in.  So the thing for us to do is to be reverent before God and serve Him, and do all that we know how to do, and live good Christian lives.

Here now, we find that the Sixth Seal has been opened to us; we see it, and we know that this Seventh Seal cannot be broke to the public until that hour arrives.

(567-3) {325}  Now, when that gets on tape, which it is, that'll probably send ten thousand of my friends away from me, 'cause they're going to say that Brother Branham's trying to put himself and make himself a servant, or a prophet, or something before God.   Let me tell you, my brethren, that is an error.  I'm only telling you what I seen and what has been told to me, and now, you--now, you do whatever you want to.  I don't know who's going to--what's going to take place.  I do not know.  I just know that those seven thunders holds that mystery, that heavens was quieted.  (Everybody understand?)

It may be time.  It may be the hour now, that this great person that we're expecting to rise on the scene may rise on the scene.  Maybe this ministry that I have tried to take people back to the Word has laid a foundation; and if it has, I'll be leaving you for good.  There won't be two of us here the same time.  See?  If it is, he will increase, I'll decrease.  I don't know.  But I have been privileged by God to look and see what it was (See, see?), unfold to that much.  Now, that is the truth.

THE SEVENTH SEAL  (1963-03-24E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(567-1) {322}  Now, notice.  So help me, by God I tell the truth, that these are spiritually discerned to me (See?), discerned by the Holy Spirit.  And by every one of them, has identified his place in the Bible.

Now, what this great secret is that lays beneath this Seal, I do not know.  I don't know it.  I couldn't make it out.  I couldn't tell it, just what it and just what it said.  But I know that it was them seven thunders uttering themselves right close together, just banging seven different times, and it unfolded into something else that I seen.

Then when I seen that, I looked for the interpretation that flew across there, and I couldn't make it out.   That's exactly right, friend.  See?  The hour isn't quite yet for it, but it's moving into that cycle.  See?  It's coming up close.  So the thing for you to do is to remember that I speak to you in the Name of the Lord: Be prepared, for you don't know what time something can happen.
