"For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their
acceptance be, but the resurrection of a dead people to eternal Life? For if the
firstfruit (Abraham and the patriarchs) is holy, the lump is also holy: and if
the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were
broken off, and you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, were
grafted in among them by the baptism with the Holy Ghost, so now you, too,
receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing with
them the rich nourishment of the root and fatness of the olive tree. Do not
boast against the branches that were broken off. Remember. you are
important only because you are now a branch of God's [Bride] Tree, and that
you don't support the root, but the root supports you."
"You may well say then, 'The branches were broken off, so that I might be
grafted in'."
"Take care, remembering that those Hebrew branches were broken off
because they did not believe in Jesus Messiah, and you are there only
because by grace through faith you do believe. Don't be haughty, but humble
and grateful: for if God did not spare the natural branches in their selfconfident unbelief, He won't spare you either."
"Consider therefore how God is both kind and severe. He is very hard on
those who disbelieve, but very gracious to you if you continue in the faith. But
if you don't, you too will be cut off. On the other hand, if Israel discontinues
their unbelief, they will be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
For if God was willing to take you who were so far away from Him - being part
of a wild olive tree - and graft you into His own cultivated olive tree: how
much more ready will He be to graft Israel back into their original estate?"
"I want you to understand this Divine mystery, brethren, so that you will not
be wise in your own conceits how partial blindness has happened to Israel,
but this will endure only until the last elect Gentile is baptized into the Body.
And then all 144,000 elect Israelites shall be saved: as it is written, 'There
shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from
Jacob: for this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins'
(Jeremiah 31:33-40; Daniel 9:24,27)."
"As you can see they are enemies of the Gospel for your sakes. And their
hatred has resulted in God giving His gifts to you Gentiles. Yet concerning the
election, they are beloved because of His promise to Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. For as you were once
disobedient rebels against God, when Israel refused His gifts, you obtained
mercy through their unbelief: and now they are the rebels, but some day
soon they will share in God's mercy upon you. For God has committed them
all to disobedience, that He might have mercy upon all".
We Gentiles at the end of time are the antitype of Esau who despised
and sold his birthright to Jacob merely to satisfy his immediate lust.
Jacob fled to a far country as Israel has dispersed following the destruction of
Jerusalem. Since Calvary we Gentiles have possessed the birthright but are
trading God's blessing to the self-styled "Jews" by mortgaging the destiny of
our nations to borrow worthless fiat currency to feed worldly lusts. We've
removed the ancient landmark, trodden down constitutions and surrendered
parliamentary governance to "Jewish" judges and lawyers serving the alien
BAR, opening our borders to strangers who despise us and can never
assimilate or contribute. We've mingled our seed with the Serpent and our
the [physically] strong men, and every bondman and free man hid
themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; and say to the
mountains and to the rocks, Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him
that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of
their wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
This Scripture answers to Matthew 24:29-31. As the Sixth Seal opens and the
Seventh Trumpet sounds, the Sun of Righteousness has ceased shining His
heavenly Light, the "whole moon" or apostate churches confederate under
Rome will not reflect His glorious revelation, and the stars fall from heaven as
Satan with his denominational luminaries is cast out (Isaiah 34:4; Revelation
12:8-9; William Branham, An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, 357:1).
When Satan and his demons descend, these great men and churchmen so
terrified by this Supernatural invasion, will seek to conceal themselves from
the face of God and the wrath of the Lamb, and from this present life so
transformed for them into an invasion of the terrible beyond, a beyond they
picture as more endurable in reality than the life they now live.
The Sign of Christ's parousia will appear over Israel in the Eastern
hemisphere as It appeared for us over Arizona at the same latitude in
the Western hemisphere. And although its import is unrecognized by the
world, two prophets will be endued with the portion of Spirit that anointed
Moses and Elijah and commissioned to gather together the elect of Israel from
war and strife and minister atonement by revealing the Seven Trumpet
mysteries. Once the 144,000 have been sealed with the Holy Spirit, the
various classes of the "saved" will mourn, realizing they have missed the
'rapture' and must surrender their lives in martyrdom in order to maintain
their place in the Book of Life.
Revelation chapter seven is in parenthesis. It describes the sealing of
the 144,000 after the martyrdom and public resurrection of their
prophets (Revelation 11:7-19). As in Revelation 10:1 where Christ placed
judgment on the beast and his image and prevented their union until the
translation of the Bride (II Thessalonians 2:6-8), the imprecationary prayers
of the martyred Fifth Seal Israelites against the beast from the Earth, the
beast from the sea and all unsealed people although heard can not be
answered until the 144,000 are sealed with the Spirit (Revelation 7:1-3).
Armageddon follows.
After this preview, John who represents Christ's end-time Bride
throughout the Book of Revelation has the consolation of seeing the
Bride of all Ages already before the throne of God, clothed in His
righteousness, joyously waving palm leaves emblematic of victory
and saying, "Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the
Lamb" (Revelation 7:10-12; 12:10; 20:4). This antitypes Christ's entry
into Jerusalem amidst the palm-bearing multitude at the beginning of the
wheat harvest. Palm fronds were waved at the feast of Tabernacles when
Israel gave thanks to God for the ingathered fruits at harvest end. Whereas
the original typical feast was to commemorate Israel's 40-years dwelling in
booths or tabernacles in her wilderness pilgrimage before she was gathered
into Canaan, here it signifies the completed harvest ingathering of elect souls
for the Millennium through six thousand years in which man has labored
against sin.
The 144,000 once born-again will be martyred under the Sixth Seal.
The church will suffer the tribulation for a purification, her reprobates killing
those who refuse the mark of the beast (Rome's Trinity dogma) as reprobate
Jews slew the early Christians. But the Bride who has endured tribulation
through all Ages is exempt from the judgments of God's wrath under the Sixth
Seal as Israel in Goshen was exempted from the plagues that befell Egypt.
And as John foresaw in the vision, she will resurrect and is translated under
the Sixth Seal almost three and a half years before Israel is sealed. Christ's
Bride does not go through the tribulation.
The Sixth Seal is the judgment Seal in which the foolish virgin and
other classes of the "saved" will be sifted, proven and purged through
martyrdom. And the elect 144,000 Israelites purified in "Jacob's
Trouble" following reconfirmation of God's new covenant by their two
witnesses of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11.
The sin for which Israel must be punished is summed-up in Isaiah 50 which
prophesies how "the Lord came to His own and His own received Him not"
(John 1:11). It was as if a stranger with no rights had come. The servants
each went their own way; He called and no one answered Him (Isaiah 65:12;
66:4). But His coming in the form of a servant was no justification for Israel to
reject Him as weak and powerless. Here seven hundred years prior to His
advent He declares that He is still able to do at that time what He did when He
appeared in majesty before the eyes of Israel, when the nation did not dare to
refuse Him. "At My rebuke I dry up the sea . . . and I clothe the heavens with
blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering" referring to the black cloud
over mount Sinai that veiled God from the people. (Sackcloth of hair or
Cilesian cloth (cilicium) was a dark, coarse fabric made of the "hair" of Cilician
goats and used for tent-making by men such as Paul, a Cilician himself. It was
also worn in mourning or humiliation).
All nature is to be purified, and the cosmic balance upset since the time of the
Flood restored for the Millennium. Lava will burst forth and melt the
mountains, destroying all trace of man's past, burning the wicked with
unquenchable fire and leaving them neither root nor branch (Malachi 4:1-3;
Matthew 3:12; Revelation 19:20). The increasing frequency and severity of
earthquakes today are the birth pains of Earth in travail for renewal. Earth will
be cleansed by tribulation in the wrath of Almighty God (Isaiah 13:6-11).
"And we know that the time is near at hand. We see the world in a quivering,
shaking condition, knowing that the atoms will soon be burning, and "the
heavens will be on fire" - as the apostle Peter said - "and will burn with
fervent heat". The atoms of the earth will catch fire soon. There'll be a relay,
and there'll be not even dust left of the people" (William Branham, Conference
with God, #61-0410). nl302.htm
