The Third Pull

Good afternoon, beloved friends and brethren present, and those who are in different nations, and the ministers who are present here. 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 Revelation chapter 5, verse 1 and on, where it tells us:

“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.

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

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

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, Weep not: 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.

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

“THE THIRD PULL.” That is the subject we have for this occasion.

This Title Deed, the Seven-Sealed Book, is the Book of Life, where the names of those who will receive Christ as their only and sufficient Savior are written.

This Book, Title Deed of the Heavens and the Earth, of all Creation, was in Adam’s hands; but because he sinned It was taken away from him, It went back to the right hand of God, meaning, It went back to the original Owner.

And as long as this Title Deed is in the right hand of God, the human being can’t physically live eternally; this Title Deed must return to the human being, to the human race.

And that is why, Jesus Christ as part of the human race, since He was born through a virgin: the virgin Mary, He is, Christ is the only One who can claim that Book, take It, and open It in Heaven, and bring that Book back to Earth, to the human race.

For this reason, He appears in Revelation chapter 5, finishing His Work of Redemption, His Work as Intercessor in Heaven; and that is why when the elder asks and tells John not to weep… because John was weeping a lot, because someone worthy to take that Book and open It in Heaven couldn’t be found, even someone worthy to look at that Book couldn’t be found; that is why John wept so much, because he knew everything would be lost if that Person didn’t come forward. And He wasn’t coming forward!

But suddenly, the elder tells John: “Weep not. Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah.” Behold the Man who can take the Book and open It: that is what this means; because only Jesus Christ is worthy of all glory, of all honor, and therefore, He is worthy to take that Book and open those Seals.

That is why the elder, who knew what it meant and knew about the change of ministry—in Heaven and on Earth—of Christ, and who knew what was happening in Heaven, well, this elder tells John: “Weep not: 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.”

When John looked, he saw a Lamb; because John knew Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God. John is not seeing a literal lamb rather he is seeing Jesus Christ, whom we also find in Saint John, being introduced by John the Baptist to the people; and when he introduces Him to the people, notice what that introduction is like. Chapter 1 of Saint John, verse 25 and on. They ask John who he is. Let’s read from verse 19 of Saint John, chapter 1:

“And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.”

Because the priests, the Sadducees and Pharisees, religious leaders, knew that the Messiah had to come at that time; because it was the time when the seventieth week had begun.

False messiahs, false christs, had come before Jesus, such as Theudas, and Judas, who were proclaimed, they proclaimed themselves to be the promised Messiah, they drew away disciples after them, died, and each of their movements ended.

That is why in the Book of Acts we find that a very important teacher of Israel, who was also a professor of Saul of Tarsus, tells them: “Leave those people alone because before Him, before Jesus, came Theudas and Judas, they drew away disciples after them, they died, and everything ended.”¹ So Gamaliel was a man who knew the things of God, and he advises these religious leaders of Israel to leave the Christians alone, the apostles, and all those who believed in Jesus.

And Gamaliel also became a believer in Christ: he examined the Scriptures and saw that the ministry of Jesus was in accordance with the prophetic Scriptures that spoke of the Coming of the Messiah.

We also have Joseph of Arimathaea, and we have another disciple who came to Jesus by night, who wanted to know plainly who Jesus was: Nicodemus, a teacher in Israel; and Christ spoke to him; from what Christ spoke to him he was able to know that Jesus was the Messiah.² That is why Nicodemus sought the body of Jesus, him and other people, to give Him a holy burial. The burial place of Joseph of Arimathaea was also available for Jesus; He was with the rich in His death.³

These people who lived well and had good opportunities to help in the Work of the Lord, in the ministry of Christ, notice, took care of the burial of Jesus by providing a place that had already been prepared for that purpose.

Now, let’s continue reading the record of John here:

“And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.” (Meaning, not… he tells them: ‘I am not the Christ, I am not the Messiah, I am not the Anointed One.’)

“And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not.”

But he was the Elijah of that time; but they are asking for the Elijah that is in the Scripture, in Malachi 4, who would come at the end, in the end time; and that Elijah was Rev. William Branham.

Sometimes we can say – or Rev. William Branham could say: “The Elisha that will come,” because Elisha was Elijah in his ministry; that is why he could say, when he had to say: “The Elisha,” he could say: “Elijah;” and that was also right, because he was the Elijah of that time.

Now, let’s continue seeing here:

“Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?”

Because everyone wants to know from the mouth of John who he is; and that doesn’t mean they want to know to believe. Many times they want to know to then attack him, find faults in him, like what has happened throughout Biblical history.

“He,” (John), “said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.”

Now notice, John didn’t start arguing with them; he told them: “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, as the Prophet Isaiah said.” In other words, he is telling them: “I am the one who is crying in the wilderness.”

So, we find John in the wilderness, people went where John was, to be baptized in areas that were in the wilderness, but people would go there. Just like in the time of Jesus, people would go to the places where Jesus was preaching, whether it was cities, villages, or the wilderness.

“And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?”

And he was a prophet. Why do they tell him: “neither that prophet”? Because the Messiah must be a prophet.

“John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not.”

In other words, John was already coming to know that the One whose way he was preparing had to be on Earth.

“He it is, who coming after me…”

After the forerunner, the next prophet who would appear would be the Messiah.

“He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me…”

How was He before if He came after? And how could Jesus, being born, let’s say, some months after John, be first? Because Christ is before all things: He is before John, not only before John, He is before Abraham, and He is before Adam as well; and He is before or prior to Creation, because it was through Him that God carried out Creation.

“He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

In other words, when he was speaking with the Pharisees, he already knew who the Messiah was: his cousin, according to the flesh; because Mary was the cousin of Elisabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. And surely, when Mary went to see Elisabeth, who was pregnant and was already six months into her pregnancy, (the Angel tells her: “It has been six months already,”) and she goes to visit her and tells her what the Angel told her, when she saluted or greeted Elisabeth, the child John the Baptist leaped in Elisabeth’s womb.⁴

The promise was that John, the Elijah who was to come, the Angel Gabriel told Zacharias the Priest and father of John the Baptist that he would be filled even from his mother’s womb. Filled with what? The Holy Ghost. And if he would be filled with the Holy Ghost, notice, something had to happen. Saint Luke chapter 1, verse 11 and on, says:

“And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.

For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.”

In other words, what happened when Mary saluted her cousin Elisabeth and the child leaped when he was filled with the Holy Spirit, was already promised by God through the Angel Gabriel to the Priest Zacharias. And all the words that the Angel Gabriel spoke to Zacharias and to the virgin Mary⁵ were also fulfilled.

That Angel is a carrier of God’s Word; that is why He told the Prophet Daniel: “I have come to give you skill, understanding,”⁶ and showed him the Gentile kingdom and the trajectory of that kingdom from the time of King Nebuchadnezzar as that statue’s head of gold, until this time in which the Gentile kingdom is in the feet of iron and clay.⁷

And it’s for this end time that there is the promise that from the mountain will come a Stone cut out without hands. And what is that? The Coming of the Lord to His people, to His Church.

The impact will be so great that It will break it to pieces, the feet of iron and clay will be broken to pieces; and from there, the rest of the statue that remains until this time will also be destroyed; and the Stone will grow and a great mountain will be formed: a great Kingdom: the Kingdom of the Messiah.

Therefore, the Gentile kingdom has reached the stage in which it will end; therefore, the Gentile kingdom has no future. That is why you see the economic and political crises that are causing the economic, social, political decline of the Gentile kingdom. Every day it moves backwards, because it began at the head and now it is at the feet.

The Kingdom of God comes to this Earth from the bottom up. The Kingdom of Christ began back then, with the apostles, but also with and from Adam to now; and it has been going up from stage to stage. Later the different Church ages came along; and it’s all moving upward. And then the Golden Age, with which She is crowned, the Church is crowned; the Golden Age, which represents the Most Holy Place of that spiritual Temple of Christ; because the Church is a spiritual Temple, a House of God, where God dwells in Holy Spirit, as was promised by Jesus Christ: “I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.”⁸

So, Christ building the House of God, which is His Church, out of living stones, human beings, notice how far that construction work has come: at the end time it has reached the Most Holy Place, which is being built out of living stones, human beings who hear the Word of God and the faith of Christ is born in their soul, and they receive Him as their Savior; that is how they are cut out with the Word of God to be placed in the spiritual Temple of Christ. God cuts out those stones with the Sword of the Word.

And now, continuing here in Saint John chapter 1, verse 29 says… He had already said… verse 29 says:

“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

Christ with His Sacrifice on Calvary’s Cross took away the sin of the world; from that point on, people answer for their own sins.

It is in the Scripture that the Savior of the world would come; and it seems like He didn’t save the world: they crucified Him, that is why they said to Him: “Save Yourself,” when He was on the Cross.⁹ But when we search the Scriptures carefully, we find that in those days of Jesus, the world was like in the days of Noah and also like in the days of Lot, because it was a time in which a dispensational overlap was taking place; and a dispensational prophet-messenger appeared there, which was Jesus. And whenever this happens, something great happens on Earth. Jesus is there to do the work, the labor, that He was to do for the salvation of the world.

The world in those days had reached the maximum limit of sin, it was judgment time for the world for its sins; but the Redeemer, the Savior came, and there in Gethsemane He took the sins of the human being, and thus, He was made sin for us, at the expense of His own life.

He said: “Unless the Corn of Wheat falls into the ground and dies, It abides alone,”¹⁰ meaning that the rest of the people would die and then the planet Earth would only be left with one human being. What would Christ look like alone, saying: “This planet Earth is Mine”? And all alone. Whom would He share it with?

Christ took our sins because He could, that is why the Word, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, was made flesh; and He had a very important work of being the Redeemer, the Savior of the world, the Savior of the human being; that is why He died on Calvary’s Cross taking the sins of the human being. And then, when God looks, He sees things through the Blood of Christ, and since the Blood of Christ takes away sin, then He doesn’t see sin: there is a Rainbow around the planet Earth protecting the life of the planet, a covenant: the Divine Covenant in the Blood of Christ.

Once He finishes His Work of Intercession, then there will no longer be an opportunity for people to come to the Feet of Christ and obtain redemption: they will have to go through the Great Tribulation, even if they receive Christ.

And now, we find that everything the Angel Gabriel said was true; and what John says about Jesus here is also true. John was taught well by his father about what the Angel had told him; and therefore, what Mary had spoken with Elisabeth about, surely they made it known to John the Baptist.

So, the forerunner and the One forerun were family, and it is good that way. And everything God will do in His Church will be God’s Family, which is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; that is where the Holy Spirit has been and He has sent His different messengers.

Someday the Church will be completed; and when the last elect comes into the Church—by hearing the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, receiving Him as his Savior, being baptized in water in His Name, and Christ baptizing him with the Holy Spirit and Fire—that is when the Church will be completed; then Christ will be able to leave the Throne of Intercession, where He is High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, He will present Himself as King, He will present Himself as Judge, and He will take that Title Deed.

Now, notice something: before Jesus left the Throne of Intercession, it was already being asked that someone worthy to take that Title Deed, that Book, and open It, should come forward. In other words, the call is made before Jesus finishes His Work of Intercession, before that Book is taken by Christ in Heaven and opened in Heaven, with Christ opening It as Lion, as King, as Judge; and it has to be as King, as Judge, as Lion, because He is the One who has the authority, because He has been ordained to be the Judge of the living and the dead.¹¹

That Title Deed, the Seven-Sealed Book, is the most important Book in Heaven. It is the Book that whoever has It will live eternally; It is the Book that if the first Church age had It, they wouldn’t die, or if any of the seven Church ages had It, they wouldn’t die. That Book will be given to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ when Christ takes It in Heaven and opens It, and that is when He finishes His Work of Intercession.

Thank God Christ is still on the Throne of Intercession as High Priest of the heavenly Temple; but when He finishes that Work, He will take the Book, open It, and make His Claiming Work, He will claim everything He has redeemed with His Blood: people, Kingdom, entire planet Earth; for which, He opens It in Heaven and then brings It to Earth to give It to a man so that he passes It to His Church.

He will pass It on by preaching It, speaking It. He will receive It as shown in Revelation chapter 10, verses 1 to 11, where the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven clothed with a cloud with a rainbow around… Let’s see it here: Chapter 10 of Revelation:

“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.”

Who is that? It is Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the same One who appeared to Moses to deliver the people from bondage in Egypt.¹²

“And he had in his hand a little book open,” (that little Book open is the Seven-Sealed Book, of Revelation chapter 5, which He took, It is the Title Deed of Eternal Life, the Title Deed of all Creation); “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,” (He is speaking as Lion) “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.”

Therefore, what the Seven Thunders spoke (that is, Christ, the Voice of Christ thundering) was not written, not even a symbol was written there by John the Apostle. What the Seven Thunders uttered will give God’s elect the faith to be changed and raptured at the Last Day; what the Thunders spoke will be revealed at this end time when the Seven-Sealed Book is revealed to His Church. That is for this end time, and that will be the Message of Christ for His Church, to give Her the faith to be changed and raptured. The mystery of the Second Coming of Christ will be revealed to His Church, and everything will revolve around the Lord’s Coming to His Church.

Just as the faith for the salvation, for the redemption of the soul, revolves around the First Coming of Christ, the faith for the transformation of the believers at the Last Day will revolve around the Second Coming of Christ.

And the Scripture shows us that He comes with a new Name; therefore, that will also be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Scripture says regarding the new Name, in Revelation chapter 2, verse 17, it says:

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”

Therefore, the One who will be able to reveal that mystery to us is the One who receives It.

Then in Revelation chapter 3, verse 12, it says:

“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God,” (the Name of God will be written upon the Overcomer), “and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”

When Christ ascended victorious to Heaven, after resurrecting, He received a new Name; so, the faith for the rapture will revolve around His Second Coming and His new Name that He will use for His Second Coming.

It will be a very important, decisive time, for Christianity, for Judaism, and for all religions, and for all nations. Those mysteries will be revealed at this end time when Christ concludes His Intercessory Work in Heaven as High Priest and He becomes the Lion of the tribe of Judah, Judge and King; then the Dispensation of Grace will have closed, the Intercession in Heaven will have finished, and now Christ will be in a new ministerial stage as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords.

And that is why in Revelation chapter 19, verse 11 and on, the Word who is coming has a Name that no one knows, which is: the Word of God. In other words, He is the Word that was made flesh and had a Name: Jesus, in His First Coming. The Word, the Holy Spirit, the Angel of the Covenant, will come again; that will be His Second Coming, with a new Name. And it says that on His vesture… Chapter 19, verse *11 and on, says:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war,” (that is Jesus Christ, the Word).

“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”

That is why in His First Coming He didn’t make the Claim, because that is for this end time where He will reveal Himself as King of kings and Lord of lords, as Lion of the tribe of Judah. In His First Coming He came as the Lamb of God to die on Calvary’s Cross.

At this end time, in the Divine Program the greatest manifestation He has ever had in the midst of His Church is promised; and Rev. William Branham had the privilege to see that stage emerging in the midst of Christianity. And he says on page 119, paragraph 1057 and 1058 [Quotations] [63-1229E – “Look Away To Jesus,” pages 5-7]:

1057 – “[39] …then you’ll see, what you’ve seen temporarily, be manifested in the fullness of its power. See? See? See? See?

40 Now I must continue in evangelism. Just as I was commissioned, first, I must continue on. Therefore, you’ve had the Word, and you know what to look for, how to stand.”

Further down it says: “The Third…” He is referring to the three pulls, and to the Third Pull, he says:

1057 – “[42] The Third is properly identified. See? We know where it is. So, the Third Pull is here.

43 It is so sacred, that, I mustn’t say much about it. As He told me in the beginning, said, ‘This, say nothing of it.’ You remember…?”

And if I had read to you until: “the beginning,” I would have already finished today; because I would have read you this and finished. “I can’t say anything.” But we want to go over what He spoke through Rev. William Branham.

1057 – “[43] I’ve tried to explain the others,” (the other two pulls: the First and the Second), “and I made a mistake. This will be the thing, that, to my opinion… I don’t say the Lord tells me this. This will be a thing that will start the Rapturing faith, for the going away. (…)

44 I must lay quiet for just a little while. Now remember, and who is listening to this tape, you might see such a change in my ministry right away, dropping back, not going up; dropping back. We’re right at the age now, and it can’t be, can’t go any further. We have to wait just a minute until this happens over here, to catch up, then the time comes. (…)

[49] …and the press comes to a place to where you’re pressed out, then watch what I’m fixing to tell you (…). Watch the Third Pull then, see, and it’ll be absolutely to the total lost, but it—it will be for the Bride and the Church.”

In other words, the Third Pull will impact the whole world, all of Christianity, and the elect, identified by Rev. William Branham as the Virgin-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. The other paragraph says [63-1229E – “Look Away To Jesus,” page 7]:

1058 – “[50] I may be building a platform for somebody else to step on. I may be taken before that time. (…)” (And he was taken.)

“51 But I do believe, that we are so close, that I would never die with old age. Yet, at fifty-four years old, I’ll never die with old age, until He’s here.”

Until the One he has forerun, the One for whom he has prepared the way, he says: “I’ll never die with old age, until He’s here.” How old would he be now? He would be more than 100 years old if He were here with us, because he was born in 1909 and we are in 2013, subtract nine years from the thirteen: that leaves you with… How old would he be? 104 years old.

1058 – “[51] Unless I’m shot, killed, or something other, some way killed, just old age wouldn’t kill me, until He’s come. (…)

[52] I may not do it, but this Message will introduce Jesus Christ to the world. For, ‘As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so is the Message to forerun the second Coming.’ And John said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.’ See? So, it’s, it paralleled it in every way. And I know it will…”

It will be parallel in every way; therefore, that is the mystery of the Seventh Seal that was opened in Heaven and there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour (in chapter 8, verse 1, of Revelation). The angels saw what It was when It was opened in Heaven, but they stayed silent, and they also stopped singing until a certain time; they didn’t start to put – to sing what was happening, in other words, they didn’t sing what was in the Thunders.

When He came down to Earth in chapter 10, He was already coming with the little Book open; He spoke, John heard, but he couldn’t write, he stayed silent; he stayed silent about what the Thunders spoke. Silence for about half an hour when the Seventh Seal was opened in Heaven: it is the mystery of His Coming. The Seventh Seal is the Coming of the Lord, that is what it contains and everything He will be speaking in His Coming to give all the believers in Christ the faith to be changed.

All the believers who are going to be changed: are going to hear, they are going to know what the Thunders spoke; and that is in the Third Pull.

The Third Pull, Rev. William Branham says, is something very sacred, of which the Angel told him not to say anything so that imitations wouldn’t arise. Pages 548 and 549 of the Book The Revelation Of The Seven Seals (of this version), says:

“299 And just then He picked me up. He took me up, and sit me way up high, to where a meeting was going on. Looked like a tent or a cathedral, of some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box, like, little place over in the side. And I seen that Light was talking to somebody, above me,” (above him, above where Brother Branham was), “that Light that you see there on the picture. It whirled away from me, like that, and went over that tent. And said, ‘I’ll meet you there.’ And said, ‘This will be the Third Pull, and you won’t tell It to nobody,’” (he couldn’t explain, make known, the secret of the Third Pull).

“[299] And in Sabino Canyon, He said, ‘This is the Third Pull,’” (that is, when the sword dropped into this hand).

“300 And there’s three great things that goes with It. And one unfolded today, or, yesterday; the other one unfolded today; and there’s one thing that I cannot interpret, because it’s in an unknown language,” (it was not in English). “But I stand right there and looked right straight at It. And this is the Third Pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God…” (in other words, the Holy Spirit will be there, as He was in the First Coming of Jesus Christ).

“[300] Oh, my!

That’s the reason all Heaven was silent.”

That silence of about half an hour of Revelation chapter 8 was caused by the opening of the Seventh Seal; It was opened, and then what It was became known; the angels knew It and they couldn’t speak: there was silence for about half an hour. All of that will be in simplicity.

Rev. William Branham saw because he was in the little room that was inside that Great Tent Cathedral, but he left with that secret. That is going to be revealed to the Church in that Third Pull, which is in a language unknown to those who speak English (either they will learn, or it will be translated for them).

We are in a very important time. In order to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, we are required to know, to hear, what the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10 spoke; it is the revelation of His Coming.

Therefore, we must locate where that event is going to take place, so that from there, even if it’s by telephone or by internet or by satellite, however it may be, each minister may keep his people updated by receiving the revealed Word for our time. That is how the whole world can be covered with the news of the Seventh Seal being opened, being revealed to His Church, to obtain the faith to be changed and raptured.

For the First Coming of Christ and for the opening of the mystery of His First Coming as Lamb dying on Calvary’s Cross, there were struggles; the main religion of His time rose against that revelation that gave them the faith to receive salvation and Eternal Life, to receive that inner transformation, to receive the redemption of the soul.

In order to receive the redemption, the adoption, the redemption of the body, we will be hearing what the Thunders have spoken and we will be obtaining the faith to be changed and raptured. Others will attack all the revelation and everything God will be doing. But those who will hear and believe will be blessed, because they will be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

The Third Pull will be fulfilled there: in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision.

Therefore, the Church of the Lord needs the Third Pull. Everything will be based on the Word of God which has been brought by the Holy Spirit through His different prophets, including Rev. William Branham, who was the greatest prophet that has ever appeared in North America; he was the messenger for the seventh age. Therefore, he was that Elijah of Malachi chapter 4, who would come to restore the heart of the children to the apostolic fathers for the restoration of the Church.

Therefore, it is important to be aware of all these things and understand why God is blessing us. Everything that will be done by God in this time is a blessing to the believers.

When the Seventh Seal is opened, when that mystery that the Thunders spoke is opened, then we will understand the trajectory of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ after the seventh Church age; we will understand much better. Although some will say, when they see everything and hear everything pertaining to the Third Pull, some will say: “I suspected it.” Others will say: “I knew it, I was sure; I was sure it was like that.”

Remember that it’s all in the Word, and what we don’t understand at the moment, we will understand later. Others will say: “Now I really understand.” Others will say: “Maybe I didn’t understand much, but I believed it.” Others will say as Thomas did: “Now I see and I believe,” like Thomas: if he didn’t see, he wouldn’t believe. And others will say: “I see it, but I don’t believe it.”

But there will be those who will say: “I see it, but I don’t believe it!,” out of joy; like it was when Jesus rose: out of joy they couldn’t believe it, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing, it was unbelievable, but it was the truth.

Others will say: “I don’t believe.” they will say they don’t believe because they are unbelievers. Others will say out of joy: “What we are seeing is unbelievable.”

But it is God’s promise for us, for all the believers in Christ, for all those who are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life. The identification for people, that they are written in the section of the Lamb’s Book of Life, is that they will believe in the Word of God pertaining to the Last Day, just like in each age the believers relevant to each stage of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ believed.

“THE THIRD PULL.”

We can’t speak too much about It. I have spoken only what is necessary; and I always recommend that there be no fanaticism, because Rev. William Branham said fanaticism ruins everything.¹³

Hold on to the Word but without fanaticism; that is how God said it would be and that is how it will be. Don’t try to get ahead either; because sometimes there are people who, like a boy in a house where there are other boys, he tries to make it seem like he is the one who knows a lot and he is the fastest at doing things. But it’s better to be prudent and wait until all of that is working, and then our eyes will see what God promised becoming a reality in the Third Pull which is promised to be manifested; that Third Pull, where God’s glory will be in the midst of His Church.

“THE THIRD PULL.”

May God bless you and keep you, and may He help us; may He help us to receive that great blessing He has promised for His Church at this end time.

Remember, in the Third Pull also comes the Word being spoken opening these Divine mysteries.

We are in a very important time in the Divine Program, a time in which every person must prepare well for what is coming from God, he must consecrate his life to God, prepare himself for the great blessing that is coming from God. It’s like when Joshua was going to cross the Jordan with the people, God told him: “Sanctify the people.”¹⁴

I leave with you each minister in each country, and here Rev. José Benjamín Pérez. May you all continue having a joyful afternoon, filled with the blessings of Christ our Savior.

“THE THIRD PULL.”
