We find that in the sacred Scriptures all the way through, that just at the ending of the old age and a new one’s coming in, God sends His messenger.
God's law is to receive a vindicated servant. John 13:20 states, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receives whosoever I send receives me; and he that receives me receives him that sent me.”
We can only serve God as we do and believe the servants that God sends. You can only serve God on earth as God's servants that's sent on earth by Divine inspiration interprets the Word to you. In I Corinthians 14:16. Paul said, “You follow me as I follow
Christ.” Jesus said in Luke 10:16, “He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despises you despises me; and he that despises me despises him that sent me.”That just proves that God speaks His message through His servants. He always has. And as always, every time that a messenger comes, it's always a call back to the Word. Remember that the Bible is the complete revelation of Jesus Christ. There cannot be nothing added to It or taken away from It (Rev 22:18-19).
The Bible is the complete revelation of Jesus Christ. And the only way that we can ever be sure on whether a message is right or wrong, is by comapring it with the Bible, which is God’s Urim Thummin of today. If it is contrary to Biblical revelation, then it’s wrong. It must be back to the Word, and always a calling back to the full Word.
THE WORD COMES TO THE PROPHET
Amos 3:7 states, “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” The reason that God sends prophets is because they have the Word of the Lord. The Word of the Lord comes to the prophets. A prophet himself is a sign. When God sends a prophet, look out, for judgment follows it. It always has, and it always will. And a true prophet never fails to stay right with “Thus Saith the Lord”.Moses stayed with the Word of the Lord. He was a sign to Israel that their day of deliverance was at hand. He was also a sign to Egypt that their end was coming.
All prophets are predestinated. We know that gifts and callings are without repentance. God said to Jeremiah, “before you were even conceived in your mother's wombs, I knew you, and sanctified you and ordained you as a prophet to the nations.” Jesus Christ was the woman's seed as spoken from the garden of Eden. John the Baptist, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born, Isaiah saw him and said, “He's the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare the way of the Lord.” Gifts and callings ain't laying hands on one another. Born from birth, those gifts are right in them when they're born.
God said, “If there be one among you, a prophet or spiritual, I'll speak to him, and what he says comes to pass then hear it.” That's the way the Bible. In the Old Testament,
God said, “If they speak not according to the law and the prophets, it's because they have no Light in them.” That's right. They have to speak according to the law and the prophets.
Prophecy, or anything else, must always be according to the Word. If it isn't, then it's wrong. In order to be a prophet, Moses had to meet God face to face and talk with Him. And another thing, what he said must come to pass or no one else would have believed him. So no man has a right to call himself a prophet until he has talked face to face with God himself.God always deals with an individual messenger. He did in the days of Noah. He did in the days of Moses. He did in the days of Joshua. It's always been an individual, because two men are not alike. Everybody didn't have to be Moses. They just followed
God’s vindicated servant for their age. So it must be today.
God’s end-time promise of the day has arrived. “As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man”.Malachi 4 states, “The righteous shall walk upon the ashes of the wicked.” Yet before such things take place, we have a promise in Malachi 4:5-6 that says, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”
THE SPIRIT OF ELIJAH
Malachi 3 spoke of John the Baptist coming, as Jesus referred to him as “My messenger.” But remember, there’s another one coming in Malachi 4 where God said He'd burn the earth with heat, and the righteous would walk out upon the ashes of the wicked. We know that wasn't John because the burning never happened when John came. But that Elijah is prophesied to come in the end time.The first Elijah of Malachi (John) was to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children which was referring to the old Jewish Orthodox church being introduced to the new Gospel Message of grace at Pentecost. But there’s a conjunction
to tie the verse together, “and” the hearts of the children back to the fathers. This portion refers to the Elijah that was to come in the last days who will take the hearts of the children
(new generation believers) back to the fathers (which is back to the Original Apostolic Faith Message of Pentecost again, as it started).Jesus clearly spoke of John the Baptist as “Elijah” in Matthew 17:12-13, “ But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.”
But Jesus also made mention of another Elijah who was to restore all things as stated in Matthew 17:11-” And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.” John never restored anything but only introduced repentance and water baptism, which is the first step to the New Birth (Acts 2:38). True restoration will only come through the ministry of the seventh angel-messenger of Revelation 10:7 when all the mysteries of God “should be finished”.
This seventh messenger will be an earthly prophet who is set to appear during the seventh church age of Laodicea.
When that seventh angel sounds out every mystery, it's over. All those things, like Rome being the whore, and all the Protestant churches denominating after her has become
her harlots, and all those mysteries that the prophets spoke of will be revealed right here in this last hour when this seventh angel rises in the Laodicean age and begins to sound forth the true trumpet.And because his teachings will be contrary to denominational creeds and traditions, nominal Christians won't believe it. But it'll be an inspired prophet from God. Men are still trying to figure out the trinity and go gray-headed. People still believe that Eve ate an apple. Truly, no one can explain these mysteries in the Bible except for God’s vindicated prophet. It will have to be a Divine-led prophet who will be able to straighten these teachings for the Word of the Lord comes to him with the true interpretation thereof.
Once more God has revealed the truth of the Bible to us today as He did to Paul. In the days of the seventh messenger, in the days of the Laodicean Age, its messenger will reveal the mysteries of God as revealed to Paul. He will speak out, and those who receive that prophet in his own name will receive the beneficent effect of that prophet's ministry.
And they that hear him will be blessed and become part of that Bride of the last day who are mentioned in Revelation 22:17, “The Spirit and the bride say come.” The corn of wheat (the Bride Wheat) that fell into the ground at Nicaea has come back to original Word Grain again. Listen to this authenticated prophet of God who appears in this last age. What he says from God, the Bride will say. The Spirit and the prophet and the Bride will be saying the same thing. And
what they will say will have already been said in the Word. They are saying it now, “Come out from among her (harlot system) now and be ye separate.” The cry has gone out. The cry is going out. How long will the voice cry?We do not know, but one thing we do know, it won't be long, for this is the last age. The church today has received its last sign before the whole world and the Gentile kingdoms are destroyed by fire and by the wrath of God. A prophet is a sign of judgment.
Just as it was in the days of Noah, those that heard, (understood and acted), the message were few.

Hi Marty,There will be two prophets of the Lord coming. They are Elijah and Moses. They will be in Israel preaching to Israel for the last 3 1/2 years.
By the time the two witnesses come, the mark is already issued, and most of the christians are persecuted already. They are for Israel. A last testimony against them, not for the other christians.Quote There will be two prophets of the Lord coming. They are Elijah and Moses.

Sister Journey,
This is true, the two witnesses come to Israel and the time of the gentiles is done.

bro. MarlinHi All,
The 7th angel messenger was born in the hills of Kentucky in a crude log cabin, April 6, 1906.
Those present witnessed a strange hazy light hovering over him, although it was before daylight. When he was 3 years old, he told his mother he heard a voice speak to him out of the woods, saying, “You will live near a town called New Albany.” His mother laughed. But amazingly, over a year later, his family moved to a town near New Albany.His first vision occurred when he was seven. While playing on the banks of the Ohio River, he suddenly beheld a bridge rise up and form across the water, as if under construction. As he watched, 16 men fell from that bridge and died in the river. Twenty-two years later, a bridge was built in that exact spot and 16 men fell from it, losing their lives during the construction.
His early life was filled with much hardship and poverty because his father drank heavily. His father also bootlegged whiskey during the Prohibition. One time, he made his son carry water to his still. As he was passing under a poplar tree, he heard the sound of a wind. It puzzled him for the day was calm. Looking up, he saw a strange whirlwind in the branches and a voice spoke out of the whirlwind and said, “Don’t ever drink, smoke or defile your body in any way, for when you get older there’s work for you to do.” It terrified him, and he never forgot that incident.
Several years later, his father called him sissy because he wouldn’t take a drink. Determined to prove himself a “man”, he raised the bottle of whiskey to his lips, but he heard that whirlwind again. Fear gripped him. He dropped the bottle and ran. In like manner, several years later, his friends called him a “sissy” because he wouldn’t smoke. Angered, he grabbed the cigarette, but again that whirlwind stopped him short. Yet, despite these and many more similar experiences, he has not yet known God intimately. While working for the gas company at the age of twenty, he was overcome with gas, became very ill, and had to have an operation. As he lay in the hospital, near death, he had a vision. He saw himself in the vision standing in a forest, and far away he heard the sound of wind rustling leaves – coming closer, and closer. He thought it was death.
Then that voice said again, “Never drink, smoke or defile your body in any way. I called you and you wouldn’t go” (as in Jonah 1:1-3). “Lord,” he cried, “if that is You, let me go back to earth again and I’ll preach your Gospel from the house tops and street corners.” The vision then faded. Miraculously, and he recovered.He made a promise and he set out to keep it. Yet he knew nothing about finding God. Realizing that God dwelt in nature, he wrote a note and tacked it to a tree so God would read it. When that didn’t work, he entered a woodshed and, weeping for his sins, he prayed desperately, “God, I’m no good! Help me!” A cross of light appeared before him then. As he realized that his forgiveness lay in the Blood of Jesus Christ shed upon the cross, the joy of salvation flooded his soul.
THE COMMISSION FROM GOD
Because he was aware of a strange call on his life, he went into the ministry by preaching the Gospel. It was a hot day, June 11, 1933. He had just held his first revival and was down in Ohio River baptizing some 130 people in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. As he came to the 17th person, a blazing light appeared in the sky above him and a voice spoke to him from heaven saying, “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Jesus Christ, so are you sent to forerun His Second Coming.” There were 4,000 amazed, frightened witnesses to bear record of this.No one understood then what it meant. Nor could he yet understand his peculiar life. All the ministers he knew told him the visions he so frequently saw were of the devil. However, when they were of a future event, the visions never failed to be fulfilled exactly the way he saw them and they always glorified God by helping God’s children. To make things more confusing, every time he came in contact with a devil-possessed person, such as astrologers or fortune tellers, they would tell him that they see a light following him, that he was born under a sign, and that there was a divine gift in his possession. These incidents troubled him greatly.
On May 7, 1946, as he was coming home from work, a mighty wind started in the top of a maple tree and came rushing down, nearly knocking Brother Branham over. Desperation struck him and he said to his wife, “For over 20 years, I’ve not been able to understand this ministry or myself. I can’t go on like this. Is this of God? Honey, I’m going to go into the woods and seek God with my Bible and prayer and find out, or never come back!”

While working for the gas company at the age of twenty, he was overcome with gas, became very ill, and had to have an operation. As he lay in the hospital, near death, he had a vision. He saw himself in the vision standing in a forest, and far away he heard the sound of wind rustling leaves – coming closer, and closer. He thought it was death.
Then that voice said again, “Never drink, smoke or defile your body in any way. I called you and you wouldn’t go” (as in Jonah 1:1-3). “Lord,” he cried, “if that is You, let me go back to earth again and I’ll preach your Gospel from the house tops and street corners.” The vision then faded. Miraculously, and he recovered.He made a promise and he set out to keep it. Yet he knew nothing about finding God. Realizing that God dwelt in nature, he wrote a note and tacked it to a tree so God would read it. When that didn’t work, he entered a woodshed and, weeping for his sins, he prayed desperately, “God, I’m no good! Help me!” A cross of light appeared before him then. As he realized that his forgiveness lay in the Blood of Jesus Christ shed upon the cross, the joy of salvation flooded his soul.
THE COMMISSION FROM GOD
Because he was aware of a strange call on his life, he went into the ministry by preaching the Gospel. It was a hot day, June 11, 1933. He had just held his first revival and was down in Ohio River baptizing some 130 people in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. As he came to the 17th person, a blazing light appeared in the sky above him and a voice spoke to him from heaven saying, “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Jesus Christ, so are you sent to forerun His Second Coming.” There were 4,000 amazed, frightened witnesses to bear record of this.No one understood then what it meant. Nor could he yet understand his peculiar life. All the ministers he knew told him the visions he so frequently saw were of the devil. However, when they were of a future event, the visions never failed to be fulfilled exactly the way he saw them and they always glorified God by helping God’s children. To make things more confusing, every time he came in contact with a devil-possessed person, such as astrologers or fortune tellers, they would tell him that they see a light following him, that he was born under a sign, and that there was a divine gift in his possession. These incidents troubled him greatly.
On May 7, 1946, as he was coming home from work, a mighty wind started in the top of a maple tree and came rushing down, nearly knocking Brother Branham over. Desperation struck him and he said to his wife, “For over 20 years, I’ve not been able to understand this ministry or myself. I can’t go on like this. Is this of God? Honey, I’m going to go into the woods and seek God with my Bible and prayer and find out, or never come back!”

Marlin.Remember constantine; he saw a vision of a cross with the letter P in it,and he heard voice saying ''with this you shall conquer''.
What was the result of this? THE ROMAN CHURCH DECEIVING BILLIONS OF SOULS.
God does not operate that way.
1. He speaks the message to the prophets, every time he has a message for israel.2.God spoke to his son with his message.
3.Now God is speaking to us through his WORD.
4. No one can preach the gospels without understanding the gospels;this is where confusion starts.Whats happening today is, that one only needs to study the gospels for 3weeks,and he is ready to preach.
If one is after a title,he must study theology.(no Holy spirit required),just professors.wakeup.

Brother Wakeup,
I can totally see what you are saying, for many bogus people have come and gone. Even in Jesus day, they said about Jesus, it won't amount to anything, JUST like the bogus ones that had come before Him.
I believe the bogus ones just point to and show that a real one must be there. Just like there are bogus dollar bills, that just points that there has to be a real dollar bills.
My second point would be that if scriptures says one must come, then ONE MUST COME.
Such as Jesus saying that Elijah will come and restore all things.
and Jesus saying that it would become like the days of Lot and the days of Noah 'WHEN the Son of Man was revealed again'.Such as Jesus saying that the mystery of God would be finished when the 7th Angel begins to speak.
Such as God saying, Elijah much come and turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers.
Such as God saying, I will do nothing until I reveal it first to my servants the Prophets.
These are some of the scriptures to say that a prophet would come in the end days.
1.) You said that God speaks with a prophet only to Israel.
Paul was a prophet, not to Israel, but to the Gentiles.I believe the Gentile age started with a prophet and it ends with a prophet.
2.) You are correct, God did speak through Jesus Christ.
3.) God does speak through His written Word,
yet we both know that everybody believes the written Word differently, for each is leaning on his own understanding. I submit to you that it was up to God to bring back the Truth and that it is up to us receive it.4.) I totally agree.
I believe the message that God accepts for any age, was the message for that hour and that message only. Each church age had a message and those that received their message, received Christ.
God Bless
bro. Marlin3 of 5 VISITATION OF AN ANGEL
In a cave in the woods, he cast himself down and cried all his heart out to God. At about 11 o’ clock that night, a star of Light filled the cave. Fear gripped his heart. He heard footsteps. A man, clothed in white, walked out of the Light and said, “Fear not, I am sent from the presence of the Almighty God to tell you that your strange life and misunderstood ways have been to indicate that God has sent you take a gift of Divine Healing to the people of the world. If you will be sincere and can get the people to believe you, nothing shall stand before your prayer, not even cancer.”For half an hour, this angel explained to him about the past and told him of his future. He explained why the ministers couldn’t recognize a gift of God in his life, yet the devil could. It was the same in Jesus’ day: the religious leaders said Jesus had a devil, yet the devils at Gadara recognized Him (Mark 3:22; John 7:20). The angel also told him that, even as Moses was given two signs to prove he was sent from God (Exodus 4:1-8), so he would be given two signs also.
First, he would be able to diagnose diseases by their vibrations, which would cause his hand to swell. If the swelling went down after he prayed upon the person, he could say, “Thus saith the Lord, you are healed.”
The angel said that time would come when he would be able to discern the very secrets of men’s hearts (Heb 4:12; John 2:24-25).
THE PILLAR OF FIRE
The PILLAR OF FIRE above his head was photographed at Houston, Texas, in January of 1950. This Light had accompanied him since his birth in 1909.
And during a 1933 baptismal service at the Ohio River at Jeffersonville, Indiana, this SUPERNATURAL BEING appeared before hundreds of people saying to him, “As John the Baptist foreran the first coming of Christ, you will forerun His second Coming.”
This picture was examined and certified as genuine by Mr. George Lacy, a federal examiner of Questioned Documents in the U.S.

The angel also told him that, even as Moses was given two signs to prove he was sent from God (Exodus 4:1-8), so he would be given two signs also.First, he would be able to diagnose diseases by their vibrations, which would cause his hand to swell. If the swelling went down after he prayed upon the person, he could say, “Thus saith the Lord, you are healed.” The angel said that time would come when he would be able to discern the very secrets of men’s hearts (Heb 4:12; John 2:24-25).
Millions of people bear record that the words of the angel were fulfilled exactly (as in Acts 27:21-25). As the sign in his hand was manifested, which when seen would raise the people’s faith to be healed, his ministry grew nationwide, then worldwide. Then it came to where the Spirit of Christ would reveal to him the very thoughts of men’s hearts, reveal their needs; reveal unconfessed sins that were not cleansed by the Blood of Jesus Christ; reveal things about their lives that he himself couldn’t possibly know.
Not mindreading or psychology, but rather he would see a vision of it – the things actually enacted before his open eyes (Joel 2:28). An open vision ministry.
And when he spoke under the anointing, out of hundreds of thousands of times all over the world, the words spoken to total strangers never failed to be exactly the truth. And the prophesies — of healing, of future events, small to great, thousands and thousands and thousands of times – not once was one even partly wrong! It was a literal, “THUS SAITH THE LORD!”
Many individuals of public influence, including Congressman Upshaw of the U.S.A. and King George VI of England, were healed as a result of his prayers.

Interesting.
What's his name?William Branham who died in 1965. No different than the Mormons who believe in Joseph Smith.
Jesus said there would be some who would decieve many. No other name given among men but the name of Jesus. If one cannot get revalation from Paul through the Word, then they will fall for another gospel.4 of 5 THE MINISTRY
Over the next ten years he circled the globe seven times, holding some of the largest meetings in history.Some 100,000 people heard him in Durban, South Africa. Seven truckloads of crutches, wheelchairs, canes, etc.. were hauled away after the healing services.
One healed was a poor deformed beggar, who had never in his life been able to walk erect, but walk all bent over on both hands and feet. This beggar was widely known, because those who cared for him exhibited him as a curiosity, putting a collar and chain on him and having him dance like an animal in the streets.
He saw a vision of this man standing upright, so he challenged the people and they agreed that if this man was healed in Jesus’ Name, Jesus was indeed God. As soon as he prayed, the man stood erect, (as in Luke 13:11-13). Is it any wonder that 30,000 people surrendered their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ that night?
Once, God showed him a vision of a little boy being raised from the dead. He told the vision to 2,000 of people, describing the scenes, and telling them to write it down for it was “Thus saith the LORD!”
Two years later, while they were on a campaign in Finland, they came a across a car accident in the mountains. And a little boy lay on the road, crushed, bloody, having been dead for half an hour. It was the boy of the vision.
He faced the crowd standing around and said, “ If that little boy isn’t on his feet in five minutes, you can run me out of Finland as a false prophet. But if he is, you owe your lives to the Lord Jesus Christ!” As he prayed, life came back into that dead boy (as in Luke 7:11-16).
While preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Portland, Oregon, a huge, demonpossessed man strode to the platform, calling him a fake, an imposter, a deceiver, threatening to break every bone in his body.
As the man drew near to execute his threats, he said softly, “Satan, because you have challenged the servant of God – in the Name of Jesus Christ, you shall fall at my feet.” The powerful man struggled to come nearer, but couldn’t. He sank to the floor and had to be carried out by ushers because he fell on his face in front of God’s vindicated servant.
In Bombay, India, where some 400,000 came to hear the Gospel, there was a blind beggar brought before him for prayer. In a vision, he saw who this beggar was, where he lived, and that he had become blind by staring at the sun, which he worshipped as God.
Then he challenged the various heathen Indian priests in turn saying, “If your god be God, then come up here at the platform and have him open this man’s eyes and we’ll fall down and worship your god.” None moved.
“But if my God, the Lord Jesus Christ, be God and opens this man’s eyes, will you forsake your powerless gods and accept Jesus as your Saviour?”
To this they agreed. The reason for this prophet’s fearless confidence was because he had already seen the man healed in a vision, and these visions never failed him. When the beggar’s eyes came open that he could already see all the people in that meeting, all pandemonium broke loose as those poor people were touched by the power of God.
It was in Mexico that the simple faith of a woman caused God to work a mighty miracle. The doctor wrote out a sworn statement that her baby had died at 9:00 in the morning of pneumonia, but because she had seen God give a blind man back his sight in his meetings the night before, she carried her dead baby around all day, believing that if she could just get her baby to him, God would raise it up.
That night, where he was having a meeting, he saw a vision of a Mexican baby being cuddled by her mother, alive. There he prayed in Jesus’ Name and laid hands on the baby. Immediately the infant began to cry and was restored back to life. The news packed the article and the doctor who issued the death certificate could not believe what had transpired.
There was a time when he stopped his sermon, looked at a man in a wheelchair and said, “Sir, I perceive you have faith to be healed.
Rise up and walk,” (as in Acts 3:2 10). And Congressman Upshaw who had been confined to a wheelchair for over 60 years, rose up and walked down the aisle praising Jesus Christ.
Returning to Washington, D.C., Congressman Upshaw was not ashamed to declare him to be a prophet of God to the 20th century.

It all looks good and convincing,but the prophets are untill John.
We must be observant,because,2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is TRANSFORMED into an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be TANSFORMED as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
In the days of jesus there were many miracle workers,also claiming to be the messiah.
Cunning satan can copy miracles,but can not copy knowledge.The truth is not in him.
We can not worship God with our eyes,but with faith.
The eyes can be deceiving.
It is with the spiritual eye that we must see.wakeup.

Hi Brother Wakeup,
After John came Jesus, the God Prophet, Paul was a Prophet, Peter was a Prophet.
Did not Jesus also say, a house divided against its self can not stand. If satan cast out satan, he can not stand.
Jesus also said that if you can not believe my Words, then believe the works, the dead are raised, the blind see, the death hear, the very thoughts and intents of the heart are known.
100's of thousands giving their hearts to the LORD.Taking the people back to Christ, turning the hearts of the CHILDREN (US) back to the FATHERS (book of Acts).
Even Nicodemus said, we know you come from God for ONLY God can do what you have done.
Jesus was foretold to come and MOST all the people MISSED HIM.
The Prophet of this last church age was foretold to come and staying true to form, MOST all the people MISSED HIM.

Interesting, tell me, what vindication did Joseph Smith have?
Other then him writing a new bible, which breaks the Word, adding too or taking from.Also just about everybody has a different interpretation of what Paul said, so do you think they are all correct?

bro. Marlin5 of 5 PROPHETIC MINISTRY
These are but a few (and by no means the most outstanding) of the miracles God used to vindicate His servant. Space fails us to record the hundreds of thousands of times that “THUS SAITH THE LORD” has been manifested in our generation without one flaw!
Did not Jesus say that, “if you can’t believe Me simply because the Words I speak are the truth, then believe Me for the very works’ sake, because they testify of who I am.” (John 10:37-38).
The same is true of every prophet of God. Is not the same true of William Branham? He had to be sent of God, “for no man can do these miracles except God be with him” (John 3:2). Why then is not William Branham widely acclaimed today? No true prophet was ever accepted by the majority of people in their day.
Yet a true prophet strikes against the corruption of their day, and people don’t like to change from their carnal ways. Only a few will know and believe, just as it was in the days of John the Baptist.
Notice this: as long as Jesus Christ (who was the God-Prophet) was healing the sick, multitudes swarmed to Him. But when he began to bring forth strong doctrine, rebuking the Saducees and Pharisees, the Bible records: “From that time many of His disciples went back and walked no more with Him,” (John 6:48-68).
Likewise, as long as God used Brother Branham to heal the sick and afflicted, millions followed his ministry. But when God through His prophet began to restore the WORD, most people loved the miracles but hated the Word.
Howbeit, that the Word had to be restored before Jesus Christ could take His Bride, for she must be a pure Word Bride, and the true meaning of the Word of God has been so distorted down through the centuries until today;
as Jesus said, “In vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men … making the Word of God of none effect through your traditions” (Mark 7:6,7,13).
As it was in the day of Noah, so shall it be when the son of man is revealed.
Now think on this, Noah’s message was so contrary to the people’s understanding, they just couldn’t believe it was correct. He told them over and over and over, yet they wouldn’t believe. ONLY THOSE THAT RECEIVED NOAH’S MESSAGE LIVED, everyone else DIED.
Briefly I have showed you a sketch of his life, and briefly his vindication. Yet, this has not even touched yet on the Message which he brought forth, even though it is that Message that is most important.
Now it is up to you to dig on these treasures. Books and tapes are available upon request, but you must be sincere to check it out, weigh the evidence, examine the Word, and then pray it through. If it is the Truth, God requires you to believe it.

Marlin1.We should never contradict Jesus words: he said: the prophets are untill John.
The apostles are not called prophets,but they have the undestanding of prophesies.
I have watched the video of the spoken word church,and I think its a dead church.
I dont like the pyramid picture on the wall,and also the satanic sign he made with his left hand,while singing.
satanic sign;the two fingers,thumb and little finger up, and the two midle fingers down.In my opinion.

Thanks Brother Wakeup,
You are entitled to your opinion, just as anyone is. There are many message churches that are wrong. The people in those churches are following the pastor of that church. That is not what I ask you to check out. I ask you to check out the message. The message came to show people how to get back to Christ and Christ is the Word. So he was to bring the truth of the Word back to us and that is what he did and God vindicated that truth.
There is nothing wrong with the scripture where Jesus said the Law and the Prophets ended with John. But there is much wrong with your understanding of it.
For every Sabbath day they read from the Law and the Prophets.
The law(old testament) and the Prophets (old testament) ended with John.If there be a Prophet (seer) among you, let him bring forth what the Lord has showed him.
We are not talking about a prophet (preacher), we here are talking about an old testament Prophet (seer) in the new testament.
Jesus himself was a PROPHET (JOHN 5:19)(son of man)
Peter also had visions, He was a Prophet. Yes he was an Apostle, but he also was a Prophet.
Paul was a Apostle(one sent) to the gentiles and he was a Prophet.
John was a Prophet, for it was given by vision and is true, or else you had better quit reading Revelations.
The person speaking to John in Revelations was also a Prophet. REV 22:9
ACTS 15:32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets
So there is the gift of prophecy and there are prophets.
Jesus prophesied that he would come again as a son of man and he did.
God Bless you brother.
