Dear Branham Tabernacle,
How blessed are our eyes; for they see. How blessed are our ears; for they hear. Prophets and righteous men desired to both see and hear the things which we have seen and heard, but they did not. We have BOTH SEEN AND HEARD THE VOICE OF GOD.
God Himself chose to write His Bible by His prophets. God Himself also chose to reveal all His secrets in this end time to His Bride through His prophet. It is His attributes, His expressed Word, making It all a part of Him.
When our age arrived, He had His prophet arrive at the same time. He inspired him and spoke through him. It was His predestinated and provided way of doing it. Like the Bible, It is the Word of God, and not the word of man.
We must have an Absolute, an ultimate; the final Word. Some men say the Bible is their Absolute, not what is said on the tapes; as if they say something different. It is so wonderful how God has hid the true Revelation of His Word from so many, but has revealed It and made It so clear to His Bride. Others simply can’t help it, they are blinded and don’t have the complete Revelation of God’s revealed Word.
God spoke in His Word (Bible) through His prophet and told us, “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets”. Thus, God’s prophets wrote the Bible. It wasn’t them, but God speaking through them.
He said in our day He would send His Spirit of truth to us to guide us into all truths. He will not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew us things to come.
The Message on the tapes is God’s truths revealed. It doesn’t need any interpretation. It is God interpreting His Word Himself as He speaks It on the tapes.
There is no continuity in what other men speak, only what God speaks. What is said on the tapes is the only Voice that will NEVER CHANGE. Men change, ideas change, interpretations change; God’s Word never changes. It is the Bride’s Absolute.
The prophet gives us an example of an umpire being an absolute at a ballgame. His word is final. You cannot question it. What he says, that’s it, period. Now the umpire has a rule book he must go by. It tells him where the zones are for a ball or a strike, when you're safe and when you’re out; what the rules are for a ballgame.
He reads and studies that book so when he speaks, and makes his ruling, that is the law, that is the final word. You must stay with what he says, no question, no argument, whatever he says, that is the way it has to be and cannot be changed. Glory.
Brother Branham didn’t say you shouldn’t preach, or teach; on the contrary, he said to preach, and to listen to your pastors, but the Voice of God on the tapes has to be your Absolute.
There has to be a tie post; in other words, an ultimate. Everyone must have that ultimate. It is the last word. God has provided only one place to get that, the Voice of God on the tapes. It is the divine interpretation of God’s Word. It is the FINAL WORD, THE AMEN, THE THUS SAITH THE LORD.
Jesus Himself said we call them “gods,” who spoke His Word; and they were gods. He said when the prophets were anointed with the Spirit of God, they brought exactly the Word of God. It was God’s Word speaking through them.
That’s why our prophet was so bold. He was moved by the Holy Ghost to speak the infallible Word of God. God had selected him for our age. He selected the Message he would speak, even the nature of our prophet and what would go over in our age.
The Words he spoke, the way he acted, blind others, but open our eyes. He even dressed him in the type of dress that he wore. His nature, his ambition, everything just the way he had to be. He was perfectly selected for us, God’s Bride.
That is why, when WE COME TOGETHER, It is the Voice we want to place FIRST to hear. We believe we are hearing the Pure Word spoken from God’s chosen and selected messenger.
We know others can’t see or understand that, but he said he was speaking to his congregation only. He was not responsible for what God gave others to shepherd; he was only responsible for what kind of Food he feeds us.
That’s why we say we are the Branham Tabernacle, because he said the Message was only to his people in the Tabernacle, the little flock that wanted to get and listen to the tapes. He was speaking to what God had given to him to lead.
He said, “if people wants to hybreed food and stuff out there, get the revelation from God and do what God tells you to do. I’ll do the same thing. But these Messages, on the tapes, are to this church only.”
How truly simple He has made It for His Bride to see and hear the Voice of God and to follow His instructions.
If you’d like to join us to hear that Voice, we will be listening all at the same time this Sunday at 12:00 P.M, Jeffersonville time, to: 65-0822M - "Christ Is Revealed In His Own Word".
If you can’t join us, I encourage you to listen to this Message whenever you can.
Bro. Joseph Branham
