The Revelation Contained in the Seven Thunders That John Heard and Was Forbidden to Write

Good morning, kind friends and brethren present, and those who are in different nations, ministers and churches. May the blessings of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon all of you and also upon me. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

For this occasion, let’s read in Revelation chapter 10, verse 1, and on, where it tells us:

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It; may He open the Scriptures, His Word, to us on this occasion. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

“THE REVELATION CONTAINED IN THE SEVEN THUNDERS THAT JOHN HEARD AND WAS FORBIDDEN TO WRITE.”

Why are these Seven Thunders of Revelation chapter 10 so important? First of all, they are the Voice of Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, speaking to His Church; His Church being represented in John the Apostle.

Here, in chapter 10, Christ is speaking like a Lion. It is very important to notice that, because that is consistent with the words of the elder of Revelation chapter 5, verse 1 and on; and above all…

But let’s read it here, so that you can have a clear picture of the importance of the Thunders of Revelation 10. Chapter 5 of Revelation, verse 1 and on, says:

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals,” (this Angel of Revelation chapter 10 comes with that little Book open, which is closed in Revelation chapter 5).

“And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?” (This Angel is asking who is worthy to take that Book and to loose those Seals that are closed.)

“And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.”

In other words, no man was worthy, of those who were alive on Earth, of those who had died and whose bodies were buried, and of those who were in Heaven—none were worthy either. No human being was worthy to take that Book and open the Seals.

This Book is the Title Deed of the Heavens and the Earth, It is the Title Deed of Eternal Life, It is the Lamb’s Book of Life, It is the Book where the names of all those who would form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ are written.

It goes on to say:

“And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

And one of the elders saith unto me…”

And one of the elders appears here.

“And one of the elders saith unto me…”

Remember that John was very sad, he was weeping a lot; because unless someone worthy to open that Book appeared, everything would be lost; and consequently, everything would go back to nothingness, the human race would disappear.

“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not,” (in other words, he knew, he was aware of the Program. John didn’t know It), “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

The Lion of the tribe of Judah is Christ.

In Revelation chapter 22, verse 16, Christ Himself says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”

The Lion of the tribe of Judah is Jesus Christ. He also has the Key of David. Revelation chapter 3, verse 7, says:

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth…”

That is Christ. And as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He has the ability to open with the Key of David; and therefore, He can open the Kingdom of David, He can open It to enter into the Kingdom of David at the relevant time; He can open It for the restoration of the Kingdom of David.

Just as He gave the Key of the Kingdom of Heaven to Peter: the revelation,¹ Christ also has the Key to open the Dispensation of the Kingdom and to open the Kingdom of David, so that they enter into It at the relevant time; for which He also has to take the Seven-Sealed Book.

Let’s continue reading what the elder is saying to John; it says:

“Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.”

The elder told him: “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,” and when John looked, what he saw was a Lamb; He was leaving the Throne of the Father, the Throne of Intercession, where He is the Lamb of God who died on Calvary’s Cross and carried out the Sacrifice of Atonement for the human being; and He also fulfilled the Sacrifice of the Paschal Lamb to preserve the lives of the firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

And therefore, He is the only One worthy to leave the Throne of Intercession when He completes His Church, and therefore, when He has redeemed the very last elect written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

And upon finishing His Work of Intercession, and once all the chosen ones, the elect, written in Heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life, have been reconciled to God: then He leaves the Throne of Intercession, where He is present as the Lamb of God that took away the sin of the world, and as the High Priest making intercession in the heavenly Temple, after the Order of Melchizedek, which was reflected, represented, in the priestly order of Aaron.

And also in one of the Psalms of the Scripture, it tells us (referring to King David, who is a type of Christ) that He is a Priest after the Order of Melchizedek.²

This is because, not only David, but—from Adam to our time—all the prophets reflected Christ and the Work that He would carry out.

For example, in Adam: having a seed of sons and daughters of God; and Christ is the Second Adam, having a seed who are born of Water and of the Spirit by hearing the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, being baptized in water in His Name, and Christ baptizing them with Holy Spirit and Fire, and bringing forth the new birth in them; and thus, they are born, not of the will of man, not of the will of the flesh nor of man, but of God, of the Spirit of God (Saint John chapter 1, verses 10 to 13).

And Christ says to Nicodemus, in chapter 3 of Saint John: “Verily, verily, I say to you, except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God,” in other words, he can’t enter into It and he can’t understand It, he can’t see It.

And He goes on to tell him… because Nicodemus didn’t understand that matter of the new birth and he thought it was by being born through his mother again; and if she was elderly or had died, this was something impossible.

“And how could…?” Nicodemus tells Him: “And how can…? Can a man, when he is old (meaning, when he is an adult), enter into his mother’s womb again and be born, be born again?” In other words, it’s like what happens with many people: they hear something and give it the wrong interpretation.

He is speaking about the new birth, which is not of the will of man, it is not through the union of a man and a woman; it is through the union of Christ and His Church, from stage to stage, from age to age, bringing forth the new birth in thousands or millions of people who receive Him as their only and sufficient Savior; and that is how one is born into the Kingdom of Christ, how one enters into the Kingdom of God.

In Colossians chapter 1, verse 12 and on, it tells us that God has translated us from the darkness into the Kingdom of His dear Son. And in the spiritual realm, the born-again believers in Christ have entered into the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Christ, which is in the spiritual realm.

That is why Saint Paul tells us in Philippians chapter 3, verses 20 to 21:

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”

In other words, He has the power; the same power He has to subdue all things to Himself; because all power was given to Him in Heaven.

Christ Himself said so in Matthew chapter 28, verse 16, to 20, when He tells His disciples before going up to Heaven, ascending to Heaven, He tells them: “All power is given unto Me in Heaven and on Earth,” and He sends them to preach and to baptize.

He has power in Heaven and on Earth, because He sat at the right hand of God in Heaven, as He said He would.

Saint Matthew chapter 26, verse *64, tells us… chapter 26, verse 64, Christ says, when they ask Him in verse 63:

“But Jesus held his peace…”

This was when He was being judged by the Sanhedrin Council, this was on the night of Passover eve:

“But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”

In other words, Christ didn’t deny that He was the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One, the Son of God, and that He would sit at the right hand of God in Heaven; for which He had to die and resurrect glorified, in order to go to the Presence of God in the heavenly dimension; for which, after resurrecting and being with His disciples for about forty days…

Although the day He rose, He ascended to Heaven, and presented Himself and presented His Blood, His Sacrifice, in the Most Holy Place, in the Intercessory Place there in Heaven, on the Mercy Seat. And then He returned and He was with His disciples, appearing to them, let’s say, every Sunday; because He rose and appeared to His disciples on a Sunday; and then when He appeared to His disciples again, it was eight days later, in other words, it was Sunday again.

If we think that He appeared to them every Sunday, well, that is what Christianity thinks as well: that every Sunday Christ is present in the service, to bless all the believers in Christ who will be worshiping God and hearing His Word; and then Christ will be pouring out His blessings of knowledge, His blessings of joy into the heart of all the believers.

And that is the way it has been: Sunday is Bible school day in all churches, except for those who keep the Sabbath [Saturday].

The disciples made use of the Sabbath by going to the synagogue and preaching, and then on Sunday they gathered privately, in other words, in the services of the churches in different parts of Israel, which had been formed by the believers in Christ of each territory.

And then, when the Gospel went to the Gentiles, there in Asia Minor Saint Paul established churches among the Gentiles, and on Sundays they would gather to hear the preaching of the Gospel of Christ.

And they made use of the Sabbath by going to the synagogues and presenting the Message of Christ there; and many Jews, and even rulers in the synagogues, rabbis, also came to believe in Christ. That’s how it was in those times.

Nowadays, well, the majority of Christianity doesn’t gather on Saturday, only on Sunday.

In the days of the apostles there in Israel, the apostle Peter and all the other Jewish apostles there, they gathered on Sundays, the Sunday service was with the believers, with Christians; but on the Sabbath, as I told you, they would use it to go to the synagogues and present the Gospel of Christ, the Gospel of our salvation.

Nowadays, as I told you, only some churches have services on Saturdays or keep the Sabbath but not Sunday; and others only stick with Sunday, because there are no synagogues to go and preach to; and if there are, well, perhaps they are not welcome there (now, we have to understand… that is to…), they are not welcome to preach Christ.

They may be welcome to be seated and hear everything that is spoken; although they are quite reserved in terms of their services; these services are with Jews and only a few guests that some Jews may bring.

But that is no problem. We cannot be at war with each other. We can already see the cost of the wars among Jews, or of Jews against Christians; and then Christianity against Jews; the cost has been thousands or millions of lives, which have died in those religious wars.

We don’t want that to happen again; although according to the prophetic writings, God has shown that it will happen again. How so? He speaks to us about the antichrist; and under the leadership of the antichrist, thousands or millions of lives—of human beings will die; and many for the testimony of Christ, many for holding on tight to Christ; many from Christianity will die; and many from Judaism (Jews) will also die. But we will leave that alone for the moment.

We have already seen that Christ said that He would ascend to Heaven and sit at the right hand of God.

He also says so in Saint Mark. Saint Mark chapter 14, verse 61 and on, says:

“But he held his peace, and answered nothing, Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

And Jesus said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith,

Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.”

God had blinded the religious leaders of that time so they wouldn’t see, so that they wouldn’t understand and wouldn’t believe that Jesus was the Messiah; because there was a Divine Program that had to be carried out, and it was the Sacrifice of Atonement for sin, for the reconciliation of Jews and Gentiles to God; and for that reason, God blinded them.

That is why He says on different occasions that they were blind: blind leaders of the blind.³ And Isaiah also tells us about this happening. And since God blinded them, we won’t bother them, instead, we ask (as Jesus Christ did) that God have mercy on them.

Christ said on the Cross: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”⁴ It was so that God would have mercy on the Gentiles too, who would form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, some from one nation—some from one nation and others from another nation, from which He would seek a people for His Name.⁵

At this end time, in the seventieth week, when that second part of the seventieth week begins or is about to begin, which consists of three and a half years, God will open their spiritual eyes, He will give them a revival; and they will realize later on, when the Messiah appears to them, that the One who came two thousand years ago: Jesus, was the Messiah in His Coming, and He was rejected, but that is how it had to be.

They will also understand all of that under the ministry of the Two Olive Trees as well, which are the ministries of Moses and Elijah. Those are the ministries to Israel at the Last Day, in the second part or last part of the seventieth week of the prophecy of Daniel chapter 9, verse 21 to 27.

And now, let’s move on to the Book of Acts. In the Book of Acts, we have a Scripture there… It should be chapter 7, verse 55, when they were stoning Stephen; he says, the Scripture says:

“Ye who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.”

And if we search the apostolic Letters, the ones of Saint Peter as well as the ones of Saint Paul, we will see that they also show that Christ is at the right hand of God, the right hand power of God; and therefore, all Divine Power that is manifested, all power of God that is manifested, comes through Jesus Christ.

We can see that Christ, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven in Revelation chapter 10, is still in Heaven in His glorified body.

He is still there as the Lamb, as the sacrificial Lamb, with His Blood there in the Most Holy Place, on the Mercy Seat, which is the Seat of God, the Throne of God.

And He is there as High Priest, interceding for every person who receives Him as his Savior; and also for those who are already believers, when they commit a fault or mistake, and ask Christ for forgiveness, recognizing their fault, the person’s fault, and Christ forgives him, and with His Blood He cleanses him from all sin; and that is how He keeps us clean before God.

And when God sees us, He sees us without sin, He sees us through the Blood of Christ, which has taken the sin we have confessed to Him, it has been cast into the Blood of Christ and returned to its original place, which was the devil.

That is what’s represented in the Communion and also in the Feet Washing, which shows us that we are kept clean all the time.

In other words, when we receive Christ: we ask Him for forgiveness, recognizing that we have sinned, that we are sinners, and Christ cleanses us from all sin with His Blood. And if a fault is committed, you don’t have to confess and ask forgiveness again for the sins you committed before converting to Christ, before receiving Christ as your Savior; those sins have already been blotted out.

Afterwards you approach [Him] regarding the problems, faults, mistakes, or sins you commit in your journey as a Christian, as your days in the mystical Body of Christ pass.

There is no other Intercessor in Heaven, but Jesus Christ; there is no other Savior, but Jesus Christ; and there is no one through whom we can approach God, but by Jesus Christ.

He Himself said so when He said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and no man comes to the Father but by Me.” Saint John chapter 14, verse 6.

Therefore, He is our Intercessor. He is my Intercessor between me and God, and between God and me. And He is the Intercessor of whom else? Of each one of you as well.

Never turn away from the Lord Jesus Christ. He who turns away from Christ has turned away from his Intercessor, from his representative in Heaven.

Christ is the Lamb of God who would take away the sin of the world, as John the Baptist introduced Him in Saint John chapter 1, verses 29 to 36, when he said:

“Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.”

And that is what happened to preserve the lives of the firstborn written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

And now, the Life of the Blood, which is the Holy Spirit, the Life of the Blood of Christ is the Holy Spirit, which comes to the believer in Christ and brings forth the new birth: he has been born into the Kingdom of God; and therefore, he is in the Kingdom of God sitting in heavenly places with Christ Jesus our Lord.⁶

And we still need the physical part, which is the redemption of the body, which is being adopted physically as sons and daughters of God in eternal, immortal, incorruptible, glorified bodies, just like the glorified body that Jesus Christ our Savior; which is very near; and that will take place when Christ the Lamb of God turns into the Lion of the tribe of Judah, in His Claiming Work in Heaven, which is very near.

Then He will take the Title Deed, which is the Seven-Sealed Book, the Lamb’s Book of Life, where our names have been written before the foundation of the world. He will take that Title Deed sealed with Seven Seals and open It in Heaven.

And by opening It in Heaven, He must then carry out the Claiming Work of everything He has redeemed with His Blood. The people He has redeemed with His Blood, who have received Him as their only and sufficient Savior, He will claim them and transform them; and those who died, He will raise them in glorified bodies.

He will also claim the Throne of David, to which He is the only heir; and therefore, He will claim the Kingdom of David, which He will restore. That is the purpose of His Coming with the little Book open in His hand.

Having the little Book open in His hand, that is like in a court when there is a case about an inheritance, a title deed; therefore, when the judge declares who the heir is and he is given the document that the property is his, then comes the claim.

The claim was already made in the… it was requested, it was claimed in the court; and once the court ruling is made in the person’s favor, he then has to carry out the work of the eviction, where they remove the people who are on the property that doesn’t belong to them, who are there illegally.

Likewise, on this Earth, mankind who live here does not have the Title Deed; they are living on this Earth temporarily, they are inhabiting the place of which the Scripture says: “The Earth is God’s, and the fullness thereof.”⁷ The whole planet Earth belongs to God; and the heir to the planet Earth along with everything it has is Jesus Christ.

Here is the Scripture: Hebrews chapter 1, verse 1 and on, says:

“God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake unto the fathers by the prophets…”

Remember it’s through the prophets that God has always spoken to His people. “Surely the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secrets unto His servants, His prophets.” Amos chapter 3, verse 8.

“…hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,” (meaning, by Jesus Christ), “whom he hath appointed heir of all things…”

Who is the heir of all things, of all Creation? The Lord Jesus Christ. It says:

“…by whom also he made the worlds…”

God made the worlds or the universe through Jesus Christ; God through Jesus Christ, in His heavenly body, the theophanic body called the Angel of the Covenant and called the Word, made the universe.

Saint John chapter 1 also tells us about this, when it says:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with

God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”

He brought the whole universe to life. Through the Word, which is Christ, God created all things; through Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, through Christ in His heavenly body, God created all things. Saint John chapter 1, verse 1 to 4.

And Saint John chapter 1, verse 14, says:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,)” (full of grace and virtue), “full of grace and truth.”

In other words, Christ is the Word that was with God and was God, the Angel of the Covenant, the heavenly body of God. That is why He tells the Jews in [John] chapter 8, verses 56 to 58:

“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”

How so? He was the Angel of the Covenant, the Word, the heavenly body of God, He was the image of the living God. He is the heavenly body of God, also called the Angel of the Covenant, and also called the Holy Spirit; because the Holy Spirit is a body from another dimension; because a spirit is a body, but from another dimension.

“God makes His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.” Hebrews chapter 1, verses 5 to 7.

Before Abraham was, Christ was; and He was before all things, Saint Paul says in Ephesians chapter 1, verses 11 to 23. And there we have the mystery of God the Father, and of Christ, according to Colossians chapter 2, verses 2 to 3.

And now, we find that God in all His fullness was in Christ Jesus. The fullness of the Godhead was in Jesus Christ, that is, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Just like our fullness is in you and me: soul, spirit, and body.

In other words, when the human being is in his body of flesh, he is in the fullness of a human being; because he is there in soul, spirit, and body. When his physical body dies, he is no longer in his fullness, he is only in his spiritual, heavenly body, his theophanic body; but he will go back to having a glorified physical body if he is a believer in Christ who has been born in the Kingdom of Christ, born again.

It goes on to say in Hebrews chapter 1:

“…who being the brightness of his glory,” (verse 3), “and the express image of his person…”

The express image of God’s Person is Christ in His heavenly body. That is why when the Angel of the Covenant appeared, which is Christ in His heavenly body, on different occasions throughout the Old Testament, the prophets to whom He appeared, or other people, said they had seen God face to face; but Saint John, chapter 1, verse 18, says: “No man has seen God at any time,” (there is no contradiction there); “the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him,” (meaning, He has made Him known).

God made Himself known through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was making God known. That is why He said: “I do nothing of Myself, the Father who dwells in Me, He does the works.”

And He would speak nothing of Himself, but as He would hear the Father speak, that is what He would speak; and as He would see the Father do, that is what He did.⁸ In other words, He would see Him in a vision (God doing things) in another dimension, in the dimension of God; and then that is the same thing Jesus would speak, would carry out.

That is also how it has been with the different prophets. God would show them—God shows them things in another dimension, and then they speak it in this dimension; they do what they saw Christ do in another dimension, they do the same thing over here; and it is materialized, what they saw happen in that other dimension is materialized.

Do you remember the Angel who would appear to Rev. William Branham? He tells him on one occasion… Page 12 and 13 of the Book of Quotations.⁹ He tells him… let’s read it so that you have a clear picture. From the end of page 12 to the beginning of page 13, it says (I’m going to read a little part). He said:

[97] “…said ‘Just what I told you not to do you did!’ I thought, ‘This is the end of me, now!’

He said: ‘The first time I told you to pull slowly, (remember, He was teaching him how to fish in the vision), and to keep quiet about it, was when I made known to you the diseases of the people when they would put their hands on yours. Your second pull, (or stage), when I told you to pull faster and to keep quiet, (to pull, that is, to tug the fishing line faster, well, to give the fishing line a little pull, a faster pull, and to keep quiet), about it, (and then, He says), was when I gave you visions to know the secrets of people’s hearts, and as you predicted what I told you, (meaning, what He showed him in visions, and what He spoke to him about). I did just what I said to you. Instead of keeping quiet about these things, you got on the platform and made a public show of these Divine gifts. Look what you have caused: a lot of carnal impersonations!’

I started weeping real loud.”

Now notice, the Angel would show him the person and show him the things, the secrets that he had to make known to the people; and He would show him the person’s healing. He would show him all of that; and he would make that known to the person and declare him healed, delivered.

And it would happen, because the Angel was the One who would do the work. He was the One in charge of that work. It was a work from another dimension, which Rev. William Branham would speak, and it would materialize; because Divine Healing is not earthly, it is heavenly. No man can heal, God is the Healer.

Therefore, we can see how it worked. And that is also how Moses and his rod lifted up in the battle with Amalek worked.¹⁰

And you can see throughout Biblical history about the relationship between God through His Holy Spirit and the prophets; and that is the same thing we saw in Rev. William Branham; which we also saw in Moses: when God sent him to Pharaoh, He would tell him—He would show him and tell him: “Say that this plague is coming,” He would show him everything; and then Moses did as God commanded him, and things would happen.

It is good to know these things because we have the promise that the Thunders will bring a revival to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and although we can’t speak much about that, so that God’s Program is not interrupted… this is why not a lot of information will be given, to avoid impersonations.

Remember, the Angel already reprimanded Rev. William Branham for making known how things worked, and then many impersonations emerged; but another revival will come.

Those manifestations of God always emerge in different ages: where God sends a messenger with the Word—that Word from Heaven, which is according to what is written in the Bible—so It is spoken, so things come to pass and God’s blessings come through the Spirit to the Church. The Holy Spirit has always been the One through which God manifests Himself and works through different instruments.

Now, here, in this same vision, it says… a bit further on, it says [Quotations]:

[98] “I was trying to make my feet…”

A bit before that:

98 – “I said, ‘Oh, I’m sorry, Sir, I hadn’t noticed that I was using the wrong end.’”

In other words, he was inserting the shoestring or shoelace of a baby’s shoe, and he was using the thicker part; but it had a very thin part, which could go through the eyelet of the little shoe; but he was using the thicker part, and he couldn’t insert that shoestring or shoelace of the baby’s shoe.

And that baby’s shoe represents the Pentecostal age, the seventh age of the Church, represented in the Laodicean Church of Asia Minor; so that you know this symbolism.

“He said, ‘You can’t teach babies supernatural things without causing carnal comparisons!’” (or impersonations).

“Then I felt myself go into another still higher dimension,” (it’s always going up, just as we go up from age to age). “I was stand­ing in the air in the largest tent I have ever seen in my life. I was above the people with the platform down below me. I had just finished preach­ing and had made the altar call. There were hundreds times hundreds of people standing with their hands up in the air, weeping. I was trying to make my feet go down to where they were…”

Because he was standing in the air; which shows that he had already departed and he is in the sixth dimension; because the sixth dimension starts at twelve feet,¹¹ and from there they can see over here. At twelve feet high we have the sixth dimension, which is Paradise, where all the saints are, the dead in Christ, who are gathered, each one with their relevant messenger, and in the relevant territory of that dimension.

“…but I remained up in the air.

A real kind-hearted, pleasant-looking man stepped out before the people and said, ‘Dear Friends, while our Brother Branham is taking a moment’s rest from this marvelous altar call, we will form the prayer line to the right.’ A prayer line formed completely around the inside of the tent, out into the street, and down the street as far as I could see.

Inside the tent, I saw a canvas stretched about four feet high, with a gate in this canvas fence. Inside this fence sat a little, square wooden room. A lady was standing at the gate of the canvas fence, taking the name and prayer card of a lady lying on a wheeled stretcher. Behind the stretcher was a man on crutches, and the lady took his name and card also. A strong man came out and pushed the lady on the stretcher through the gate of the canvas fence and through a door into this little wooden room.

I heard the familiar swishing sound…”

In other words, when the Pillar of Fire appeared to him, he would hear the whooshing of His Presence; even though other people couldn’t hear it, he could hear it.

“I heard the familiar swishing sound made by the light that accompanies my ministry, and I saw it go from me to the little room. […] He added, ‘This is the third pull!’” (or Third Stage). “I said, ‘I do not understand this.’ He replied, ‘In there, I will meet you!’

I watched and saw the sick lady coming out a door on the opposite side of the little room. She was off the stretcher, pushing it. A lady was there to get her testimony on a tape recorder and asked what happened in the little room. She answered, ‘I don’t know!’ Then came the man out, carrying his crutches. The lady asked him what happened in the little room, and he answered, ‘I don’t know!’

The Angel of The Lord said: ‘This will not be a public show! Is not it written in the Scripture of Our Lord’s words, “When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly?” Be not as the hypocrites that make their public show of things, but go into your secret closet!’

Then The Angel of The Lord and I descended into the little room. What he said to me there I will have to keep a secret the rest of my life!”

In other words, he saw things there that, if he were to say them, many people, preachers, would come out impersonating what will happen in that place.

On one occasion the Angel tells him: “Remember the Name that you were looking for when you had the vision?”¹² So, there is a Name there; and It must be important for It to be there and for Rev. William Branham to be looking for It, and for the Angel to remind him about It. So, It has to do with the things that will be fulfilled in the Third Pull, in a Great Tent Cathedral that will arise among the believers in Christ; and, based on what has been shown, they will be believers in Christ who know Rev. William Branham and who are believers in the Message of Rev. William Branham.

That is for us to see whom that Great Tent Cathedral will arise with, which will be a blessing for all of Christianity; because that is where that Third Stage or Third Pull will be manifested, as a blessing to the Church; and that is where the Seven Thunders of Revelation will be revealed.

In other words, what the Seven Thunders spoke will be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, because John is a type and figure of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ who heard what the Thunders spoke. And that will be the Voice of the Alpha and Omega, the Voice of Christ at the Last Day in the midst of His Church, speaking consecutively to Her in a new age.

After the time of Rev. William Branham’s ministry, there will come another time, another spiritual awakening, another revival in the midst of Christianity; which Rev. William Branham spoke about.

And let’s see what that revival will produce, for which the Thunders are very important; what the Thunders spoke is very important for all these people who will be enjoying that revival that God will pour out upon His people.

It says on page 243 of Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals:

“183 The—the Bride hasn’t had a revival yet,” (and he is preaching this in 1963); “[…] no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet. See? We’re looking for it now. It’ll take those seven unknown Thunders back there, to wake Her up again, see. Yeah. He’ll send it. He promised it.”

In other words, what will bring forth that revival, will be what? The Voice of Christ, the Mighty Angel, speaking to His Church at the Last Day, just as He spoke to His Church in past ages through the Holy Spirit through the different messengers.

Also on page 151, paragraph 283, of this Book of The Seals, it says:

“283 And, Jesus, His Name on earth was ‘Redeemer,’ Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer, that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on High, He received a new Name. That’s the reason you holler the way they do, and they don’t get nothing.

284 It’ll be revealed in the Thunders.”

See why the Thunders of Revelation chapter 10 are so important? (Which is the Voice of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.)

And He will be speaking to His Church in that Third Pull; and that Third Pull will be fulfilled in a Great Tent Cathedral. And therefore, the whole mystery of the new Name of the Lord, of the rapturing faith, the faith to be changed and raptured… because the rapturing faith is in the Thunders.

Page 148 of this same Book, The Seals, says:

“[258] Seven Thunders, of Revelation, may He show the Bride how to prepare for the great translation faith!” (in other words, the rapturing faith).

In other words, the Thunders, which are the Voice of Christ speaking to His Church at the Last Day, in a new age (not the Lutheran, nor Wesleyan, nor Pentecostal age, but in an Eternal Age, in a Golden Age): the Age of the Cornerstone, the age where these promises will be fulfilled: the Tent Vision will be fulfilled, the rapturing faith will be fulfilled through the Divine Revelation contained in the Seven Thunders of Revelation; which John was forbidden to write, because it wasn’t for him to know that mystery at that time; because the Thunders reveal the Seventh Seal, the Thunders reveal the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

That entire mystery will be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The mystery of the Coming of Christ as a Lion at the Last Day, crying as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices; that entire mystery will be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and that will give Her the faith, the revelation, to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

The Third Pull will be for the Church-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, to give them the faith to be changed.

It will also be for the foolish virgins, or sleeping virgins, who didn’t have Oil: that is Christianity, Christians, who didn’t have Oil in their lamps, who didn’t have the Holy Spirit, but who are very good people and love the Lord, and who will give their lives in the Great Tribulation because the antichrist will persecute them and kill them. But the revelation that will be given under the Third Pull will strengthen them to go through that difficult stage they must go through, just as Christians went through other difficult stages.

And the Jews will also see that Third Pull where Christ will be manifested, and they will say: “This is, or this Man is, or this is, what we are waiting for.” But He isn’t coming for them, He is coming for His Church.

The Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven is the Messenger to Israel, the Angel of the Covenant, Christ, the Holy Spirit; and He comes for His Church, to give Her—to speak to Her. And that is Christ speaking to Her and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices and giving Her the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

That Third Pull will also reach the lost, to those who no longer have an opportunity for salvation, because their time for redemption will have already passed, their time to receive Christ will have passed, their time to be cleansed with the Blood of Christ will have passed; because He will have already left the Throne of Intercession in Heaven, and He will be among His Church with the revelation contained in the Seven-Sealed Book; and He will be speaking as the Lion and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices; which we shouldn’t explain much about so that there is no impersonation of what God is going to do.

Rev. William Branham was forbidden to explain the entire mystery of how the First Pull and Second Pull worked; and he was told not to say anything about the Third Pull, not to reveal the mystery; therefore, it can’t be revealed for the time being, either.

In the fulfillment of the Third Pull, which will be in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, is where all these things will be opened to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which will be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Therefore, it is important to be aware of all these things that will happen under the Third Pull, which will be fulfilled in a Great Tent Cathedral; and where, what we saw manifested in Rev. William Branham, in terms of God’s manifestation in Rev. William Branham, was the sample of what God will do in fullness among His Church.

Back then was the sample. He says: “What you’ve seen manifested in part, you will see manifested in all its fullness when the squeeze comes down.”¹³

Therefore, a squeeze will come down as well; as it happened in the time of the apostles there in Israel, and as it happened in the time of the Apostle Paul among the Gentiles; there was a great squeeze and a great persecution in those times, and a great squeeze and persecution will return at this end time.

But there will be a vision: the Tent Vision, that will be fulfilled at the Last Day, at this time; and we will be hearing Christ, the Mighty Angel, who comes for His Church in Revelation chapter 10; of whom Rev. William Branham said in the Book of The Seals, pages 69 to 70:

“29 This Seven-Seal Book is revealed at the time of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10, now, if you’re marking it down. Let’s turn to Revelation 10, just a moment, so you’ll get an understanding before we get into it. Now, this is at the end time. For, listen:

…I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow…upon his head,…

30 If you notice, that’s Christ, see. Cause, He, in the Old Testament, was called the Angel of the Covenant. And He is directly coming to the Jews now, for the Church is finished. See? All right.”

In other words, the One who comes to the Jews is this Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven; but notice, but since the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is under the New Covenant, He has to come to His Church first. Let’s see this; it says:

“[30] See? All right.

…and his face…as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

31 You remember that Angel in Revelation 1? Same thing. Angel is a ‘messenger.’ And He’s the Messenger to Israel. See? The Church has been raptured, see, now, or fixing to be raptured. He comes for His Church.”

In other words, the One whom Israel will receive comes for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ first; therefore, He will be seen among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ first: He will have a great manifestation in that Third Pull that will impact and shake the whole world.

From what we have seen, I think that we have enough to understand the importance of the Seven-Sealed Book and the importance of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10, and therefore, the importance of the Mighty Angel, who is Christ coming down from Heaven with the little Book open in His hand, and crying as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices.

We have seen the importance of Revelation chapter 10, the importance of the Mighty Angel, of Christ, who comes down from Heaven as Lion and Judge; and the importance of His Voice speaking to His Church, which is the Voice of the Seven Thunders that John heard; and he was forbidden to write what he heard, because that is to be revealed at this end time to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Third Pull promised for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We have seen that the different stages of the Church have already passed, and now we are higher than the seven ages: we are in the Age of the Cornerstone, the age pertaining to the Second Coming of Christ; because He has promised to come to His Church, and at this end time, in the Age of the Cornerstone, in when He will come to His Church according to His promises.

“THE REVELATION CONTAINED IN THE SEVEN THUNDERS THAT JOHN HEARD AND WAS FORBIDDEN TO WRITE.”

The Seven Thunders are the Voice of Christ as a Lion speaking to His Church; just like the Voice of Christ as a Lamb in Holy Spirit among His Church, and as High Priest, was the Voice of the Holy Spirit through His different messengers in their different stages of the Church. It’s as simple as that.

It is simpler than we can imagine. Remember that the promise is that everything will be in simplicity.

The elect will hear the Voice of Christ, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, the Voice of the Holy Spirit. “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Holy Spirit says unto the Churches.”¹⁴

Such was the Message for each stage of the Church: it was the Holy Spirit speaking through each messenger. And at the Last Day, the Holy Spirit, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, will be speaking to His Church; and he who has ears to hear will hear the Voice of Christ crying as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices.

We will be hearing the Voice of the Mighty Angel, what the Voice of the Mighty Angel said when He cried and Seven Thunders uttered their Voices; we will be hearing and understanding the content of those Seven Thunders, the content of what Christ, the Mighty Angel, spoke when He came down with the little Book open in His hand, which is still in the future, but will be fulfilled very soon.

When Christ takes the little Book in the hand of the One who is sitting in Heaven, then He changes from Lamb to Lion, He changes from High Priest to Judge, to King.

That change there is very important; and we are going to see that change, because that is where He carries out the Claiming Work for our transformation and for the resurrection of the dead in Christ in glorified bodies.

“THE REVELATION CONTAINED IN THE SEVEN THUNDERS THAT JOHN HEARD AND WAS FORBIDDEN TO WRITE.”

We have seen the importance of the Seven Thunders of Revelation chapter 10; because those Seven Thunders are the Voice of Christ speaking to His Church at the Last Day, in the Third Pull, Christ speaking as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Claiming Work.

He will be revealing to us His Coming at the Last Day. That mystery of the Second Coming of Christ will be revealed by the Voice of Christ, the Mighty Angel, crying as when a lion roars and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices, which He will be doing in the midst of His Church at this end time.

And we are waiting for the revelation of the Seven Thunders that will be given; with which we will come to have the faith, not only for Divine Healing, but to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

The transformation will be the greatest Divine healing, because with the change of body, there will be no more sicknesses that our body can have. Sicknesses attack the physical body, but it won’t be able to attack the glorified body; because by then, death will be overcome; that is in First Corinthians chapter 15, verses 49 to 58.

Well, continue having a happy afternoon, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior. I will leave Rev. José Benjamín Pérez with you to conclude today.

“THE REVELATION CONTAINED IN THE SEVEN THUNDERS THAT JOHN HEARD AND WAS FORBIDDEN TO WRITE.”
