The Sixth Seal

The elect of natural Israel is God's servant, the Church is His Son. God deals
with all Israel simultaneously as a nation but receives their gifts only in the
place He has chosen to put His Name, Jerusalem, in the Land of their rest.
Outside that Land anyone claiming Moses' Law and the Old Covenant is an
outlaw with no Covenant relationship to God.
God is not the author of confusion. He made a conditional Covenant which
Israel broke. Longsuffering, He persevered with the nation through judges,
kings and prophets, finally sending His Son Whom they killed. When Israel
had crucified Messiah, God turned to we Gentiles to take from us a people for
His Name, a Bride.
Brother Branham said, "From the time God made the promise to Abraham
(Genesis 12:3), to the time of Christ being rejected by the Jews in AD33,
according to Galatians 3:16 and 17, and according to Usher's Chronology of
the Hebrews, the power of God was with the Jews exactly 1954 years. God
dealt with the Jews 1954 years according to the chronology of the Jews and
according to Galatians 3:16 and 17. I have many more Scriptures, but just
give that. Then after they rejected Christ, He turned to the Gentiles to take a
people for His Name. . . Acts 15:14."

"Now, counting the time, we find that we have exactly seventeen

years left, and we will have the same span of time given to us as God
dealing with us in the power of the Holy Spirit since AD33 until 1977,
(mathematically that should be 1987 - Ed.) the same span of time of 1954
years. God deals with us the same as He did with the Jews. See? How about
that?"
"Now, mark down in your book a little Scripture here I want to give you.
Leviticus 25, begin with the 8th verse. God calls a jubilee every forty-ninth
year; the fiftieth year was the jubilee. We know that. We understand that.
From the first jubilee of Leviticus 25:8, 1977 will be the seventieth jubilee,
making exactly 3,430 years. Jubilee means the going up, the release" (William
Branham, The Seventy Weeks of Daniel, 131:195-197).
The Gentile dispensation will close with a cosmic catastrophe at the
end of the Fourth Seal just as the four hundred and eighty-seventh
year of the last 490-years of Israel's dispensation ended with an
upset of nature when they crucified Messiah - a type (Exodus 10:2123; Daniel 9:24-26; Matthew 27:45-51).
When Gentile self-styled Christians "crucify to themselves the Son of God
afresh" upon a Roman cross of creed and tradition, heaven and earth will be
shaken, Los Angeles will sink beneath the Pacific along with 1,500x3-400
miles of California. The mount of Olives will be torn asunder. Once again the
sun and the moon will refuse to shine and there will be no further mercy for
anyone. The 144,000 elect blood Israelites in the Promised Land, are already
redeemed in Christ on Calvary, and they know it not (Acts 3:23; Revelation
22:11; Zechariah 13:7-9).
The Sixth Seal begins its manifestation at the close of the Fourth Seal.
About forty-days after the end of the Gentile dispensation when we who are
alive and remain have manifested that we are the Sons of God, Christ's Bride
of all Ages will be translated (Romans 8:19; I Thessalonians 4:17). Under this
Seal God regrafts Israel into Christ, the root of king David's father Jesse, and
Israel's King in whom the Gentile Bride trusted and found rest (Isaiah 11:116; Romans 15:12; Revelation 22:16).
Romans 11:7-32, "This is the situation: all Israel has not found the favor of
God for which they sought; but an election has obtained it, and the rest were
blinded as it is written, 'God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they
should not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day' (Isaiah
29:10; 6:9-10; Matthew 13:14). King David (a type of Christ) spoke of this
when he said, 'Let their good food and other blessings trap them into thinking
all is well between themselves and God. Let these good things become a
stumbling block to rebound on them. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they
do not see, and let them walk bent-backed forever with a heavy load'."
(In 1963 Brother Branham said, ". . . our gold is. . . We've done spent
it. We're broke. We don't have any money; and we're only living off of
a past reputation."
"That's what the church is doing today: the church, not the Bride. The
church is living off of a past reputation it got back yonder under the
ministry of the Lion time. "We are the church, we are the mother
church; we started. . ." That's right. See? It's living off a
reputation. . ."

"This nation is living off a past reputation of what the forefathers

were (See?), and that's the reason we think we'll be saved. God never
respected Israel on what they was, what they had been; what they
was then. . ." (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 505:6 - 506:3).
Psychology, not fundamentals and reality.
Paul's prophetic Words now also apply to the United States and the once
Christian world rushing headlong into the great tribulation: stumbling blindly
against the God of Israel and the Israel of God to serve their mutual foe, the
non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled "Jews." Whereas Semitic Israel is blinded
for the duration of the Gentile dispensation, once this is fulfilled the self-styled
"Jews" who impersonate them will be left shipwrecked with the rest of the
unconverted Gentiles, having squandered their day of grace.
Did you say, "God bless America!"? I think not. God's Prophet said America
received her last call for national repentance in 1956, the jubilee of the Azusa
Street, Los Angeles, Revival that began the Laodicean Church Age
(Condemnation by Representation, 6:47). If you are a mathematician you
might add one more jubilee to 1956.
While Brother Branham was in Los Angeles for the International Convention of
the Full Gospel Businessmen in April, 1965, he prophesied the earthquake
that will mark the close of the Gentile dispensation, sinking Los Angeles. He
asked his son, Billy Paul Branham, "Where are you standing?"
"In front of the May Company, downtown Los Angeles," replied Billy.
At this Brother Branham made a prophetic statement" "Billy," he said, "I may
not be here, but you won't be an old man until sharks will swim right where
you are standing" (Pearry Green, The Acts of the Prophet, p. 119).
Billy Paul Branham was born on September 13, 1935. A lifespan is 70years, and he is 68 as I speak, so there can't be many moons before
he is "an old man".
In Matthew's Gospel which is addressed to Israelites Jesus prophesied, "The
generation that sees Israel restored to statehood shall not pass until all six
written Seals described in Matthew 24 are fulfilled." He emphasized this point
by adding, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass
away," or change (Matthew 24:34). In Hebrews 10:37, Paul confirms the fact
this time is fixed, "Yet a little while, and He Who shall come will come, and
will not tarry." As the youngest male Hebrew to see Israel restored in
1948 would have been born in the same year as Billy Paul Branham,
Gentile days are numbered, and it is later than many think or dare
imagine).
"Does this mean that God has rejected Israel forever? Certainly not! But
through their fall, and to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the
Gentiles. Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their failure the riches
of the Gentiles; how much greater a blessing the world will share when Israel
also receives Christ? (This will bring Millennium blessings)! For I speak to you
Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I lay great stress on
this and remind the Judeans about it as often as I can so that if possible I
may provoke them to want what you Gentiles have and in that way save
some of them."

"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

material wealth not pledged to Shylock is controlled by the Catholic church of

whom nominal Christianity is Satan's spawn.
The scant buoyancy floating the submersible US dollar will crash-dive when
Los Angeles and Florida sink, taking world trade and the monetary system
into the abyss. And after Russia has invaded mainland United States,
Christendom, like Esau, will sell her birthright to the anti-Christ church of
Rome in order to restore peace. Then church and state will be reunited, and
Rome in covenant with the self-styled "Jews" to refinance the US dollar and
restore international commerce and financial infrastructure to preserve their
material wealth and power, for neither can buy-out the other to attain world
hegemony.
When Jacob was returning to Canaan he feared Esau and tried to buy him off,
sending the animals and servants ahead of his wives and their children. But
Esau like Rome was immensely wealthy and could not be bought so the
brothers came to an accommodation. But before their meeting Jacob had
separated from his entourage as Zechariah foretold Israel will separate from
their carnal and self-styled fellow-travelers. He met God face to face and
prevailed to become a limping prince with God with a new name. as Israel will
prevail with God until 144,000 are regenerated to walk a new walk under their
new name of "Christian".
Wall Street crooks of the City of London antitype Jacob before
conversion while denominational Gentiles under Rome antitype Esau
who despised the Birthright. These "Jews" hold the world's paper wealth fiat money, mortgages, stocks and shares, futures options, bonds, derivatives,
certificates of deposit, reinsurance, securities for commercial and international
loans that will become a liability if world monetary, financial and economic
systems crash. Through Rothschilds, Rome holds the gold of the world.
According to Isaiah 28:18, Daniel 9:27 and this type we see in Jacob and
Esau, Rome and the Edomite self-styled Jews will reach an accommodation
which Rome will break in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week when she
presumes to have the upper hand.
Never ever forget that Satan and his children here on Earth always
control both sides of the Hegelian dialectic. Behind the scenes the same
people control both the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church, Judaism, the apostate
nation of Israel, the Empire of the City of London and Communism. So when
Rome breaks her covenant, forces the mark of the beast and tries to oust the
Moneypower, the "Jews" and the Black Nobility (who are themselves selfstyled Jews) will ally with Communism which is Judaism. They will bomb the
Vatican and United States from the face of the Earth then gather the world for
the slaughter at Armageddon, the third of three major revolutions planned
along with three World Wars to yield world hegemony to Lucifer's children.
And blood will flow to the horse bridles for two hundred miles (Revelation
14:20).
Revelation 6:12-17, "And I looked when Christ opened the Sixth Seal, and
behold, a great earthquake took place; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; and the stars of
heaven fell to the Earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs, when being shaken of
a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll rolled up together; and
every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of
the earth, and the chief captains, and the great men, and the rich men, and

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
