Dear Virgin Bride,
I have been praying and asking the Lord what He would have me write and say that could somehow be a blessing and an encouragement to you, His Bride. I have no words, and don’t know what to say. I feel so unworthy to even write the few words that I do, but it is the greatest honor of my life to do anything for Him.
I believe the timing of hearing these Seven Seals is so perfect. We can see God’s great plan being revealed and unfolding before us. Message after Message becomes greater Revelation after Revelation. We see Him revealing Himself to us and leading us. We know we are doing exactly what He told us to do, “staying with the Word.” There is no greater way to do that than Press Play.
I feel the calling He has placed on my heart is to keep this Message, His voice, these tapes before you always; to expound to you the importance of listening to the tapes. I know I cannot convey it properly, but I KNOW I am correct in telling you “Press Play,” as it is not my thoughts, my idea, nor my words, but the Words of God Himself speaking through His 7th angel messenger, telling us:
Sometimes when we just read, and, now, be real careful. And when you read, get the tapes, listen to them real close. Because, you’ll get it on the tape, because they’ve been playing them tapes back, and they’re really good and plain. So, you’ll get it clearer there.
As I have said so many times before, I’m not against the ministry or anything that God has placed in His church. That would be going against God’s Word. I believe they are anointed and called of God. But I do believe that listening and placing the very Voice of God before the people has to be the most important thing any God-called man could do.
It’s not enough to say, “I tell my congregation to play the tapes.” If you believe:
- There is no greater anointing than hearing the Voice of God on tape.
- All Revelation must come from that Voice.
- The Rapturing in faith we need will come from what that Voice says.
How could any minister not want to listen to that Voice, with their church, and say AMEN TO EVERY WORD?
Everyone must have something they feel and believe is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing they can do to be the Bride of Christ. Something has to be God’s MOST IMPORTANT and His perfect Will. Is that your pastor’s ministry? Listening to other ministers? Not saying that is wrong, by no means, and that is perfectly fine according to the Word, but do you believe THE MOST IMPORTANT thing is listening to God’s vindicated Voice on tape?
If that is what you believe is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you could do, then why wouldn’t the ministry want to play and listen to that MOST IMPORTANT PERFECT MESSAGE with their congregations?
Ask yourself, or your pastor this question: Do you believe this quote is true, or is this an error and just Brother Branham misunderstanding, or trying to brag on himself?
See, exactly what would take place now! And, to the church, what is It? The incarnate Word made flesh amongst His people again! See? And they just don’t believe It.
If you believe this quote to be true, and to you it is the VOICE OF GOD, the incarnate Word made flesh, then how could anyone not see that there is NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT than hearing that Voice.
Wake up sleeping virgin, you either have this Revelation or you are as he said: “just don’t believe It.”
As the prophet told us, we are the new Book of Acts, that new Branch, His chosen Ones. Thus, many feel that the Holy Spirit is now leading us as individuals or is leading us by the ministry, not by His prophet.
There is much truth in this, BUT the prophet corrected this also, and revealed to us the truth.
Someone was speaking to me here not long ago. Said, “But Brother Branham…” [Brother Branham clears his throat—Ed.] Pardon me. Said, “Not after the Holy Ghost is come, no Angels guide the church, or guides individuals. No, sir.” Said, “It’s the Holy Ghost that guides us.”
That’s misunderstanding between Angel and the Holy Ghost. THAT IS ERROR, The Angels led the Church right on, and still leading the Church. Correctly.
His angel is leading and guiding His Church. We all have our place and calling, but the angel alone is to lead the Bride.
Listen to what God’s prophet said about all other ministries compared to what God had CALLED HIM TO DO,
Just like a man that’s a—a telephone operator, he isn’t exactly an electrician. He might do a little job at it. And like, if a man is a lineman, well, he certainly…A man is a posthole digger, and never did do any line work, he better keep off the line; but he might do a little patch up work or something.
But when the real Thing is to be revealed at the last day, of the last part of the Church, is when God has said that He would send to us, according to the Scriptures. And we’ve searched it through and through, that He predicted that the Spirit of Elijah would return in some person.
When someone tries to fuss and tell you, “it takes more than just listening to the tapes. Brother Branham never said play tapes in church. It will take the ministry to perfect the Bride;” or whatever anyone may say to you, to try and make you doubt, and that listening to God’s vindicated Voice on the tapes in your church is wrong...
Just like some guy start, try to fuss with you; if you know where to stand, know what he believes.
If they claim to believe, “This Message is the Word. William Marrion Branham is God’s Seventh angel messenger. This Message is their Absolute. This Message is the Son of Man revealing himself in flesh as He promised He would...”
It’s just like taking a rabbit and turning him loose in a pen, and you got every hole stopped up. Just stand at the gate; he’s got to come back. That’s all there is to it. You fenced him in. See? He’ll have to come right back to the gate again, ’cause that’s the only way he can get out. He’ll stick his head through here, and almost break his neck; and go over there, over there. Just stand and watch him, and he’ll come right back. See? That’s all.
Stay with that Tape Teaching. Just say what the tapes say. Don’t change one Word. Don’t add to, or take one Word away. It is God’s Voice to you. It is the Incarnate Word made flesh. It is the Words of infallibility. He is your pastor. His angel is leading you. It’s Thus Saith the Lord.
As long as you’re in that Word, you’re safe.
Come trim your lamps and fill it with Oil this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as God’s chosen angel thunders and breaks The Third Seal 63-0320, and reveals It to His Bride.

Dear New Branch,
It has happened; what all the saints before us have all been waiting for. The Original Tree has now put forth a new branch. We have arrived. We are that New Branch. The Holy Ghost has fell, and the Spirit of God is upon us. The Original, apostolic, Pentecostal Faith has been restored by His 7th angel. Now, His prophet is going from house to house, breaking bread with us. There are great signs, wonders, and Revelation upon Revelation being poured out upon us.
We are keeping our lamps trimmed and full of Oil. We are staying with the Original Word, as He told us to do. Others may want church, but we WANT NOTHING BUT THE ORIGINAL VOICE OF GOD.
Now, just think of that now. Let’s just—just try to soak in what we believe that the Holy Spirit would have us know. Now remember, “Nothing to be revealed; God will do nothing, at all, until first He reveals it to His servants, the prophets.” And before He does anything, He reveals it.
Nothing can be revealed to the Bride; only by His prophet first. If there are any mysteries to be revealed, any new revelation, anything we have need of to be His Bride and make the rapture, It must first come to the prophet and then HE will reveal It to us, His Bride.
Reveal what? The Mystery of The Seven Thunders. What does that mean? It means one of two things. It is either already on tape and will be revealed when it is time to be revealed to us,
But I imagine, when them mysteries begins to come forth, God said, “Hold It back now. Wait a minute. I’ll reveal It in that day. Don’t write It, at all, John, ’cause they’ll stagger over It. Just—just let it go, see. But I’ll reveal It in that day when it has need to be done.”
Or, when He sends His prophet back to earth to introduce us to Him, then His prophet will reveal to us the mystery of The Seven Thunders.
And then there is coming forth seven mysterious Thunders that’s not even written at all. That’s right. And I believe that, through those Seven Thunders, will be revealed in the last days in order to get the Bride together for rapturing faith. Because, what we got right now, we—we wouldn’t be able to do it. There is something. We’ve got to step farther.
It will not be a group of men that reveals that mystery, it will be His 7th angel messenger, William Marrion Branham. That’s not because “I” said so; it’s because THE WORD SAYS SO!!
“Takes the Book and, of Seals, and breaks them,” and shows the seventh angel; for this alone, the mysteries of God, is the ministry of the seventh angel.
It says it all right there. The mysteries of God is the ministry of none other than the seventh angel. The Seven Thunders will get the Bride together and give us rapturing in faith.
If the Thunders is what will get the Bride together, and the mystery of the Thunders has to come from the 7th angel, then there is nothing more important for the Bride to do than PRESS PLAY. That is what will get the Bride together for the Rapture.
Stay with the Original Word on tape. PRESS PLAY.
And the tapes will reveal much of It, as you study.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord! Glory to God! We love that sweet feeling we get from hearing God’s Voice speak to us on the tapes. We just feel the Holy Spirit bathing all around us as we walk around with It. We take It home with us. We hold It on our pillow.
Come listen with us Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as the Holy Spirit comes rushing into our homes and reveals to us all we have need of, as we hear: The Second Seal 63-0319.

Dear Queen of Heaven,
I, your King, am going to Thunder to YOU on Sunday and tell YOU, YOU are My Bride. I have predestinated YOU. I have redeemed YOU. I have justified YOU and placed your names on My Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world. YOU are My sweetheart Queen.
I have waited and waited for YOU so I could restore all that My first Adam lost. All his inheritance that he lost. All his fellowship and right to Life. I had given him complete, supreme control of the earth. He was a god of the earth as I am the God of the universe.
He had this earth under his own control. He could speak, he could name, he could stop nature, he could do anything he wanted to. But he lost It all.
Now, as I promised YOU in My Word, I have restored all that he lost and have given it back to YOU. It has been redeemed. All legal possession to all that was lost by Adam is now YOURS. The legal possession to that abstract title deed of Eternal Life, which means that now YOU possess everything that Adam lost.
I became your kinsman Redeemer. I claimed what was Mine. I took the Book of Redemption from My Father’s Hand, tore off the seals from the book and sent it down to My seventh angel messenger to reveal it to YOU. He will restore to YOU the original Bible Faith and he will reveal to YOU all My secrets.
I have proven and vindicated these things to you by My first fully restored Adam; My seventh angel prophet messenger. He could speak and create squirrels, give the life back to a fish, control the atmosphere and send storms back to where they come from. He could speak and raise the dead. I even had MY picture taken with him to show the world, this is My first restored Adam, hear ye him. Now YOU, My Queen, possess all that Adam lost.
Remember, My seventh angel messenger will be on earth at the time of My Coming. He will introduce YOU to Me. That last trump will blast forth and the dead in Christ shall rise. They which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them, to meet Me in the air at the same time that My seventh angel is giving his Message. The last Seal is opened. That last trumpet will sound; I will come forth to claim my possessions, YOU, and then I will take YOU to OUR Wedding Supper.
My dear Queen, come hear Me speak to YOU and reveal to YOU everything you have need of. I have stored up this Food for YOU so YOU could become My Queen. I will be speaking to YOU at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, where I will Thunder to YOU The First Seal 63-0318.

Dear Shouting and Rejoicing Bride,
We’re in the Word and having the greatest time of our lives. Teaching, consecration, and revelation. There is nothing more important than hearing the Voice of God on tape.
This Message is everything to us. It gives us complete satisfaction. The only thing that can quench the thirsting of our soul is hearing God speak to us through His prophet.
Each day He gives us more revelation of Himself and ourselves. A deeper reassurance that, by “pressing play,” we are hearing His Word and are doing just as He commanded us to do. We are His sheep, and sheep cannot lead himself; he has to have a leader. And the Holy Spirit is leading us to Himself, His Voice speaking the Words of infallibility on tape.
We’re not all listening together to these Messages by chance, He chose us to. “The footsteps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord.” There is some reason. We can’t help it. The Message on tape is all the Bride wants. By hearing It, It is giving us the strong hand of Faith to hold on and believe every Word.
Why do we believe it is so important for all who calls themselves “God’s Bride” to hear the tapes?
The Word clearly tells us that the Bible itself was written by the prophets. It was not their thoughts, nor their ideas, but the Holy Spirit moving them to write the Bible. The Bible also tells us that the Lord God will do NOTHING until He reveals His Word to His prophet. Others can speak It and proclaim It, but they can ONLY say what God’s prophet has already said.
If you believe that William Marrion Branham is God’s vindicated 7th angel messenger, then what he said ON TAPE is not his words, but the very thoughts of God Himself expressed. You are resting your Eternal destination on every Word that he spoke on the tapes, as you believe it to be THUS SAITH THE LORD. It cannot be added to or taken away from, nor does it need interpretation; It is the Son of Man speaking through the man He chose to fulfill His Word.
The true Bride knows the importance of hearing the tapes. To us, the tapes are the major and all other ministries are a minor. Everyone must ask theirself if their Eternal destination depends on believing every Word God’s prophet spoke. If I believe it is the Voice of God speaking and calling His Bride, then there is nothing more important than PRESSING PLAY, as I am going to be judged by every Word that GOD’S PROPHET SAID…not by what some man said God’s prophet said.
If you believe you need more than the tapes, then it’s not as important to you to place the emphasis on listening to the tapes, but more importance on the ministry. You can only have one major.
As we listen to the tape this Sunday, God Himself will speak to us and tell us we possess the legal abstract title deed of Eternal Life. We possess everything that Adam and Eve lost. It is going to be brought to us in revelation, and from the Hand of God by vindication.
Then He will tell us what went on in Heaven. How Jesus Himself took the Book, tore off the seal, then sent it to the prophet He chose and told Him to give it to His Bride….talk about shouting!!!! Everything on earth and in Heaven will hear us shout and scream as we see our names written on the Lamb’s Book of Life.
And He took the Book, (glory!) opened the Book, and tore off the Seals; and sent It down to the earth, to His seventh angel, to reveal It to His people! There you are. Oh, my! What happened? The screams, the shouts, the hallelujahs, the anointed, the power, the glory, the manifestation!
And old John, who had been standing there, our brother, crying! “Why,” he said, “everything in Heaven, everything in the earth, and everything in the sea, heard me holler, ‘Amen! Amen! Blessings, honor, and might, and power, be to Him that lives for ever and ever.’”
Where can you hear this great revelation? ONLY ON THE TAPES. There is just something special to the Bride when they hear God Himself speak through human lips and tell them, “YOU ARE MY SWEETHEART BRIDE.”
Come sit in the presence of the Holy Spirit by Pressing Play, Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear His seventh angel messenger bring: The Breach Between The Seven Church Ages And The Seven Seals 63-0317E.
We will be shouting and rejoicing and saying hallelujah.

Dear Elijah’s Little Flock,
We are a peculiar people, odd and strange to the world, and to many believers, but nevertheless, we are a spiritual priesthood, a royal nation, offering spiritual sacrifices to God, with the fruits of our lips giving praise to His Name. We want to tell the world that we are so happy, so thankful, and so honored to be One Of Them.
We have sold all our other pearls, as He has given us the Pearl of great price, the Revelation of Himself. We see the very Word of God made manifest. The very promise of the last days, the very evening Lights that was to shine.
It has been revealed deep in our hearts that the Voice we hear on tape is the Son of Man revealing Himself. That Voice told us: Stay here, look upon This stored up Food that I have laid in for you on tapes. If you have any questions, refer back to these tapes. It might even be a little puzzling to you, but play the tape back and listen close. If you’re Bride, the Holy Spirit will reveal It to you. Remember, the tapes need no interpretation, just say what is on the tapes. I am your pastor and you are my little flock, stay with the tape teaching.
I know so many don’t understand what we are doing by listening to the same Message all at the same time, but that is okay, they are still our brothers and sisters and we love them and we should never speak against them. Everyone must do as they feel lead of the Lord to do. God works and leads us as individuals.
The prophet told us we must check everything with the Word, and prove it by the Word, just as he did. The Word for today, is and has always been, the Bible. The Bible tells us in the last days He would fully reveal all the mysteries and secrets in His Bible by a prophet He will send. He Himself would speak through this prophet and reveal Himself in flesh just as He did to Abraham. His Word would not be the words of a man, but the very Words of God Himself. It would be THUS SAITH THE LORD, thus the Bible and that Voice would be one and the same.
There is a deep calling to a deep in our hearts to hear that vindicated Voice. We want to hear the Voice of God direct from His chosen prophet. There is such a love in our hearts to hear that Voice and to just relax and know we don’t have to question anything we hear, just have to believe EVERY WORD.
There is no other place we can do that. Not that someone would tell us something wrong or mislead us, as they too have the Holy Spirit, but we know that they could unwillingly tell us something wrong. But when we hear God’s vindicated Voice on tape, even if we don’t understand what is being said, Papa God said we just have to say AMEN, WE BELIEVE EVERY WORD. We cannot do that to any other voice.
We were commanded by that Voice to:
Don’t you listen to me; but listen to what I’ve said. What I said is the Message. Don’t pay any attention to the messenger; watch the Message. Keep your eyes, not on the messenger, but on the Message. What It said, that’s the thing to look to.
What he said IS the Message of the hour. We must keep our eyes on the Message; It is the thing to look to.
He is revealing things to us as never before. Every Message we hear sounds like a new Message we have never heard. Although we have heard them hundreds of times before, we can’t explain it, it is like we are hearing it for the first time and He is giving us more and more Revelation.
We just can’t imagine anyone not wanting to hear these Messages with us. There is such a unity and Oneness with the Bride and His Word. We are fully satisfied like no other time in our lives.
Once again we are under great expectations. It’s as if the Seals are just now being opened. He is going to show us things we have never seen before and bring Light to things we have heard many, many times before; but now, we’ll see It plainly.
We know that everything we have need of for His soon coming Rapture, is that Voice on the tapes.
God sent His prophet by a vision to the backside of the desert in Arizona where he was caught up by seven angels, and then sent back to Jeffersonville to reveal the hidden mysteries of the Seven Seals to the Bride.
Come tune in with us as God speaks to us lip to ear this Sunday at 10:00 A.M., Jeffersonville time, and we will hear: God Hiding Himself In Simplicity, Then Revealing Himself In The Same 63-0317M.
We will begin the Message on paragraph #94, after the dedicational service.
