PREACHING No.4
Explanation of Revelation 2, 3, 6, 13 and 17
(Preached on Sunday, October 20, 2002 in Locodjro, Abidjan - Ivory Coast)
[...] It should be underlined here that, as the seven seals and the original sin, God has made us know the seven ages by the Ministry of William Branham in the evening time.
Since the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 until the rapture, the Church of nations is divided into seven periods or ages. At such time, the church will look like such assembly ... thus:
Revelation 2:1-7: Age of Ephesus (from 53 to the year 170), the messenger of this age is the apostle Paul. The Church is troubled by false servants of God (2 Peter 2; Jude). A false doctrine is born, the nicolaism – the human wants the place of God. The animal that comes out is the Lion (Rev.4: 7), the Word.
Revelation 2:8-11: Age of Smyrna (from 170 to 312), the messenger of this age is Irenaeus. God had raised several messengers after him but he is the father of the age: The Pagan Rome persecutes the Church. Christians are robbed of their property because of their faith. They are asked to sacrifice to idols under penalty of death. The calf comes out for the sacrifice.
Revelation 2:12-17: Age of Pergamos (from 312 to 606), the messenger of this age is St. Martin. Birth of the catholic church. The Balaamism is the love of money, luxury and idolatry. For those who like to count the messengers of God on earth, the Bible clearly says that in this age, God will use a man faithful to him and that he will be put to death like Antipas. And even the man by whom the 66 books of the Bible are known to us is not named Paul, Wesley, Luther or Branham but Eusebius, and it’s under a divine mandate that a man can do that for the humanity.
Revelation 2:18-29: Age of Thyatira (from 606 to 1520), the messenger of this age is Colomban. God reproaches the church for looking at the catholic church seducing people as well as today we look at the evangelical and protestant churches seducing. During 914 years, illustrious messengers of God have followed one another.
Revelation 3:1-6: Age of Sardis (from 1520 to 1750), the messenger of this age is Martin Luther. The third animal comes out. It’s the age of Martin Luther for the justification by faith and John Calvin for the double predestination.
Revelation 3:7-13: Age of Philadelphia (from 1750 to 1906), the father of this age is John Wesley. This is the beginning of spiritual manifestations. This is the age of John Wesley and George Whitefield. The two parted on predestination.
Revelation 3:14-22: Age of Laodicea (from 1906 to ...), the father of this age, it's brother Branham and this age will end after the persecution of the foolish virgins. The eagle comes out (Revelation 6:7), the Spirit of the Prophet and the Word. The spirit of python also reveals himself as prophet in the churches.
NOTE: The four animals are dispensing the same Spirit of God in the ages. They keep the living Church (Ezekiel 1:4-12). They are the four Gospels guarding the book of Acts of the Apostles or the cherubim guarding the tree of Life (Genesis 3:24) or also the twelve tribes, three on each side, guarding the Ark of the Covenant.
THE SEVEN SEALS OF REVELATION 6 AND 8:1
First seal: It is the lion that calls John to come and see. As Daniel (Daniel 12:4) the thunders, the voice of God (Exodus 19:16 / John 12:28-29) interpreted these things for him but he was forbidden to write them until the end of times (Rev.10:4). The seven thunders are here God's voice explaining the seven seals at the time of restoration of all things (Laodicea). The horseman moves forward with a bow but without arrow. He scares but he cannot do anything. He is, first of all, without any crown because it’s a spirit, a doctrine (Rev.2:6): The nicolaism. But he received the crown when he became a pope, the antichrist. So every president of churches is an antichrist.
Second seal: The four beasts of Joel 1:4 and 2:25 and the four horsemen of Revelation 6 are identical. It’s the same horseman that changes horse, ministry or aspect. This church was white as the true Church but when she started to kill the saints ... the red is the blood of the apostles, protestants, ... 68 million Christians were put to death by the Roman Catholic Church. And the Pope proclaiming himself as the faithful representative of God on earth, the sovereign pontiff between God and men, the patriarch of the apostles. Names of blasphemy (Revelation 13:1). He is the vicar of heaven, earth and the purgatory.
Third seal: This is the period of indulgences. People must give gold and silver to have access to the paradise. People must pay for the forgiveness of sins. Barley and wheat = life. Oil = the Spirit, but God told him not to harm the elect, not to force them to recite "Hail Mary" or pray for the dead or sacrifice to idols. Luther came out with a Message: "The just shall live by faith."
Fourth seal: The Laodicean Age starts, it’s the eagle that comes out to fight against the spirit of divination. The pale color is a mixture of churches and political, religious and economic powers. The regrouping of the first three phases. Three crowns in one, three colors in one, a trinity of colors, horses, ministries: the antichrist, the false prophet and the beast.
Fifth Seal: For each seal, they are the seven thunders that interpret the mysteries contained therein. For example, for a child, W, D, å, and Y are things that are sealed (hidden). But the voice that reads or "interprets" these four letters is the seven thunders. The thunders are the voice of God. Jn.12:28-29 says: "... There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again. The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him. " You see? And Ex.19:16-17 also says it. The people hears thunders but the prophet hears words. What does Rev.10: 4 say:"And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write: and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Seal the things which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not." You see? The thunders are the voice of God.
So when the first seal was broken, the seven thunders revealed the contents. When the second seal was broken, the seven thunders explained the symbols of this seal. It was the same thing until the sixth seal. The souls underneath the altar were the Jews killed by Germany, Italy, France, USSR, ... They don’t know anything other than the law that is why they ask for justice instead of forgiving. The law: eye for eye, tooth for tooth. They are not saved here as Jews but as elect of nations.
Sixth Seal: The darkening of the sky announces the imminent redemption of the Jews as in Egypt. This seal takes place in Rev.11 with Elijah and Moses who are the two lamps. Matth.24:4-5 (1st seal), Matth.24: 6 (2nd seal), Matth.24: 7 (3rd seal), Matth.24:9-13 (4th and 5th seal), Matth.24: 29:30 (6th seal), Matth.24: 36 (7th seal).
Seventh Seal: By Matth.24:36 and Rev.8:1, we understand that when the 7th seal was broken, the seven thunders kept silent. For mysteries of which the day of arrival should not be known. It’s this seal that contained the unknown language. It was opened in the evening time but his revelation might end with the message of the hour which is nothing other than the interpretation of the unknown language that had been left aside. And the messenger of the evening said that it is behind this unknown language that the 3rd Pull was.
The sea or the waters mean the peoples, nations, languages, tribes according to Rev.17:15. The beast with seven heads and ten horns is the Roman Empire which is the 4th beast of Daniel 7:2 and 12, that’s why we find in it the imprint of the three other beasts that it swallowed. Daniel 7:4 is the Babylonian empire which is the lion, the v.5 is the Media and Persia Empire which is the bear, the v.6 is the Greek world empire which is the leopard. The ten horns are ten kingdoms or ten nations. In Rev.13:3, it is Christianity which was not far from destroying it, but it became religious and reconquered the earth. The pagan empire became a worldwide church giving power to a man having names of blasphemy: "representative of the son of God on the earth [vicariv's filii dei], the sovereign pontiff, the forerunner of Jesus Christ, the universal patriarch, prince of the Apostles, successor of St. Peter ..." making himself infallible as God. These names are as blasphemous as: methodist, baptist, pentecostal, ...
In Rev.13, the beast of v.11 rises from the earth, from a country dominating the world like Rome and it’s the USA. Both these horns are the political, economic power and the religious power. Like a lamb, this country is religious, swears on the Bible but imposes itself as a dragon by making use of vetoes here, declaring embargoes there, bombing without the UN’s approval. It makes fire come down from heaven: the bombings since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It’s from it that arose the image of the Catholic Church that is to say, the protestant and evangelical churches. A mark is a spirit. On the forehead it is: to accept, on the right hand, it is to work in these churches. Verse 17: If someone does not work in the same spirit as the U.S., he is subject to veto or embargo as Cuba, Libya, he cannot buy or sell anything to another country. This spirit of veto and embargo dates from the first empires. The Bible speaks of it in 2 Kings 6:24-25. Naturally, this embargo begat a famine because they could neither buy nor sell. Let’s read that: "And it came to pass after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. And there was a great famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was worth eighty silver-pieces, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung five silver-pieces. " and 2 Kings 17:4-5 says that the Assyrian Empire, world power in that time, declared an embargo of three years on Samaria. Let’s read the verse 5: "And the king of Assyria overran the whole land, and went up against Samaria, and besieged it three years". We see that again in 2 Kings 25:1-7, the embargo of the Babylonian empire against Jerusalem. No one could neither buy nor sell and the verse 3 says this: "On the ninth of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land". And this spirit had acted through the Roman Empire up to destroy Jerusalem in the year 70 and this spirit acted through the Roman Catholic church and now he acts through the United States. First we talked of siege then we talked of ban and now we talk of embargo. For example, in the fourteenth century, Pope John XXII laid a ban on Germany for insubordination and bad behaviour of Louis IV of Bavaria regarding the papacy. And in 1347, Louis of Bavaria yields because Germany was weakened by 25 years of ban, being able neither to buy nor sell.
And this spirit will act in the churches, for, to benefit from official or international favors, it’s necessary to be a member of the Federation of Churches or the National or World Council of Protestant and evangelical churches. According to verse 8, we see that it is "[every one] whose name had not been written from [the] founding of [the] world in the book of life of the Lamb" who will remain forever in these Catholic, Protestant, evangelical churches, missions and ministries including the whole of the branhamists. In verse 10 it is said: "If any one [leads] into captivity..." baptists, branhamists and others who evangelize. Outside of what God is doing, all the rest leads into captivity. While we trying to deliver people of these religious prisons, others try to send them there. While we burn Tob and Louis Segond bibles, they distribute some. You see?
Generally, in the prophetic expression, a woman represents a church. In Revelation 17:1, this woman is a prostitute, she has received seeds of several lovers. The Bible says in the verse 15 that she is implanted everywhere in nations, languages, peoples, villages, countrysides ... The presidents and kings, the ministers and princes fraternize with this church. She is sat on seven mountains: Capitol, Palentina, Caelius, Esquiline, Aventine, Quirinal and Viminal, the verses 9 and 12. The verse 4 reveals her wealth. The verse 5 says that she is the mother of a multitude of churches prostitutes: the lutheran church, the zwinglian church, the calvinist church, the presbyterian church with John Knox, the Anglican church which was the official church of England in the sixteenth century after the breaking of Henry VIII from Rome, a sort of compromise between the catholicism and the calvinism. Then the puritans, and then the Methodist church in the Moravian revival, then the one hand the church of christ with Alexander Campbell, the Baptist church with John Smith, who rejected the baptism of children and the sprinkling, ... On the other hand, from a series of Methodist churches, it came out the Nazarene Church then the church of the Pilgrims of the sanctity then the Pentecostal church then the church of the assemblies of the gods which is a branch of the division that took place between Pentecostals in 1906. It was first called "General Council" then "assembly of gods". Each of these churches has a multitude of branches as we see today with the branhamists.
John Smith was a Congregationalist, he had left the Anglican Church and had baptised himself by sprinkling. He is the father of all baptist churches.
He did not believe that there should be an original sin and declared the children sinless. In fact when John Smith died, it’s his disciple Thomas Helwys who founded the first Baptist church. I do not forget Menno Simons, this former Catholic priest who is the founder of the order of Mennonites and restorer of the anabaptist church. You must know all these things before you join a church. When the beginning of a church is false or if her fonder is false, no matter what you will do therein, it’s in vain, you will go to hell. It's like this woman soothsayer named Aimee Semple McPherson, who founded the Foursquare Church in 1922, a Canadian who came and settled in Los Angeles.
Well! The spirit of divination tells people that a woman and waters it’s the mermaid of waters. It is a distraction from Satan. The only book that mentions "Mermaid of Waters" is the book of Enoch in chapter 9 verse 2. But this book is not recognized in the Jewish canon, so it is a book that is from the devil ... A prostitute is a woman who has not one precise husband but lovers. These churches have no precise priests or pastors. One comes, goes. Another one comes, goes. And a bastard child is named after his mother: "I'm Catholic, Baptist, brother of the message (branhamist), ..." The verse 6: This church was drunk with the blood of the saints, millions of Christians killed and John was astonished at the fact that a church could do that. The verse 8 shows that these churches rise from the abyss, through their holy spirits rising from rivers and creeks and the depths of the sea to go to hell and the death and the Hades * accompany them. Being in these rivers, creeks and others, they protected some tribes, some peoples, some villages, some families, ... What is it? They were cherubim protectors that were cast out from heaven in the past. And now they are the same cherubim protectors under the name of Jesus Christ. Each church, mission and ministry has a cherub at her head: the presidents of churches, the Osborn, Benny Hinn, Yonggi Cho... And all those who preached under their ministry are the angels that their tail drew in the great battle with Michael the Archangel according to Rev.12.the angels that have been seduced in the heaven.
Well, what does the verse 16 say: "And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire; ...". And these ten kingdoms that are ... England, Portugal, France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Italy, Poland, Russia and others raised spiritual beasts that are the Lutheran Church, the Nazarene Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church, the Calvinist Church and the Presbyterian Church which emptied the Catholic church from her members and made her desolate. They ate the flesh of the Catholic Church. You see? And now, the ten horns are all evangelical and branhamist churches.
Let’s come back to the verse 10, he who is there is Caesar, he who is coming is Nero who has had six months of cruel reign. Those who are in these churches will be surprised but we know that they will go to hell. The 8th is the succession of popes. Verse 12: They are presidents, so without crown: Hitler, Staline, Mussolini, ... They have a same mind with the Catholic church, one killed Christians, the other killed Jews. The city is the Vatican city.
