I Will Come to You
JOHN 14:16-20
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter (this is not another person, or the third person in the Godhead, but this is the same person in another form and office), that he may abide with you for ever (In spirit form – God is a spirit, before he ever became flesh, he was the eternal spirit);
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive (When the spirit of truth is in a person [which is the Holy Spirit], then that person is able to receive the word for their age – the evidence of the indwelling spirit is always those who can receive the truth for the age that they live in), because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 ¶ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (He is now telling us plainly who this comforter is – it is He Himself)
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more (that is because they crucified him, and so they never saw the man from Galilee any more); but ye see me (you will see me [the same person] in another form, not in the form of the man from Galilee, but in another form that the world cannot see me): because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Read again - 18 ¶ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
I Will Come to You
This is a personal promise from Christ to each believer of the truth that he would come to each of us, and that he would be our comforter and dwell within us.
*We know that God deals with the Jews as a nation on a national level, but with the gentiles, he deals with us as individuals – so this promise “I will come to you” is a promise to each of us personally because we are all to have our own personal experience and walk with the Lord in the light of His word for our day.
*So as believers of this end time message, we want to do a little overview as to the purpose and the direction and the goal that God has call us to in this hour, and that goal is Christ in you the hope of glory, God and man in perfect harmony and oneness again like the relationship that Adam had with God at the beginning, and that is what we can all have in our walk with the Lord right now in this age – that relationship with God is what has been promised to us again in this day because of the opening of the seven seals.
*We are living in a time when the prophet said that all scripture was written for this hour. Why could he say that?
- Because the whole bible is the word of God, and the word of God is a seed that the sower sowed (LUKE 8:11), and harvest time is at the end of the world (MATTHEW 13:39), and so everything that is in the seed (the bible) comes to full manifestation and maturity at harvest time at the end of the world – and that is the time that we are living in now.
- So all the stories of the bible are directly relevant to this age more than any other time.
*Ruth and Boaz at harvest time is a direct prophecy of this age.
*The days of Sodom were a direct foreshadow of this age.
*The days of Lot…
*The days of Noah and his group that went into the ark - a place of comfort in a time of trouble…
*Enoch’s day
*Ester’s day
*Daniel’s day
*Joseph dismissing his wife to the palace and revealing himself in private to his brothers is fulfilled at the revealing of Christ to the Jews at the end of this age.
*Abraham and Sarah being turned back young to receive the promised son is a direct prophecy for this age
*Eliezer and Rebekah and Isaac. …on and on - in the volume of the book it was written of for this day that we are living in, because all these scriptures that were written in seed form in the bible are now to be made manifested at harvest time at the end of the world.
*So as it was in shadow form in the days of Noah and Sodom and Lot and Abraham and all the other stories in the bible, so shall it be at the revealing of the son of man at the harvest time at the end of the world.
So we want to do a kind of review of some of the foundational things that we believe… *why we are not a denomination, *why we believe in a vindicated prophet that God sent in this end time generation, *why we believe that we are in a bride age after the denominational ages have run out.
THE.BREACH.BETWEEN.THE.SEVEN.CHURCH.AGES.AND.THE.SEVEN.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317E
76-2 {54} --this Book (the seven sealed book of redemption) is not revealed until the church ages and denominational ages has run out, and there's time no more. See it? It's only revealed after church ages and denominational ages has run out.
*So if you are in a message church and still have a denominational understanding of the word, then the denominational ages have not yet run out for you at your personal level. We must apply these things personally because God is dealing with us gentiles individually).
***It is the revelation of Jesus Christ to you personally in this hour that takes you out of the denominational ages and puts you into the bride age - and that is the new birth for this hour – and that is his promise for us in this hour “I Will Come to You”.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
234 What is the new Birth then? You'd say, "Well, Brother Branham, what is the new Birth?" It is the revelation of Jesus Christ personally to you. Amen!

JOHN 6:28-29
28 ¶ Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
*So what makes us different from denominations? What has gathered us together that is different from the denominational church gatherings?
- It is because we believe in the message of a 20th century prophet that God has sent to this end time age.
II CHRONICLES 20:20b
20b ¶ Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
And because we have believed whom God has sent for our day, then we have been privileged by the grace of God to have prospered into a much higher realm of revelation and sight (the eagle age) – we are very rich with spiritual insight and revelation.
*We know that after the seven church ages were ended in Revelation CH:3, John who types the bride of this hour is invited by a voice speaking to him to go up higher and to be shown things that are to be – and so this day this scripture is being fulfilled among the believers of this message, that is what has been going on all these years, that is what is going on this morning.
REVELATION 4:1
1 ¶ After this I looked (after the seven church ages. God is not dealing with denominations anymore as a movement, he will deal with and call out individuals from the organisations, but he is no more dealing within the organisation systems themselves), and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
The first voice that Ruth heard in Boaz’s field was the voice of the head reaper introducing her to Boaz. It was the “head reaper” at harvest time that introduced Ruth to Boaz by his Voice (it was a voice that ushered her into a relationship with Boaz – “in the days of the VOICE of the seventh angel” – Boaz himself was the “things thereafter” because from that time on it was Boaz Himself that was being revealed and united to Ruth, and their relationship ended in marriage - oneness.
MALACHI 4:5-6
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children (John the Baptist), and the heart of the children to their fathers (William Branham) So there is 2000 year gap placed in the middle of this verse. The first part was fulfilled by John the Baptist to the Jewish Church, the second part was fulfilled by William Branham to the Gentile Church 2000 years later), lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
LUKE 1:15-17 - This scripture is speaking of John the Baptist
15 For he (John the Baptist) 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.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children… (Notice that nothing is said about John the Baptist turning the hearts of the children to the fathers, that part was reserved for a people of this day)
MATTHEW 17:10-12
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? (Notice that the religious leaders missed the coming of Elias for their day as they have also missed him in this day)
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things (He is speaking of William Branham that God would send to the gentile church at the end of the 7 Church ages).
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already (John the Baptist), and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed (they killed him). Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
*So we know that the whole purpose of God in sending John the Baptist was to identify and introduce who Christ was to the elect for that age, that was his whole mission, and so because of that the elect of John the Baptist day knew clearly who Christ was because John the Baptist introduced him plainly to them – there was no confusion. So outside of the ministry of John, no one would have known the Christ for that day – John’s ministry and message introduce the people to Christ, so to reject John’s message was to cut yourself off from the revealing of Christ.
LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-17 SUNDAY_ 63-1229E
52 And I want to say this. I've never said it before. But according to Scripture, according to what He said thirty years ago; thirty-three years ago on the river down there, in 1933, rather; what He said, everything has happened just exactly. 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, the Message will go on.
So the way that John the Baptist introduced Jesus Christ to the elect of his day is to be an exact parallel of how Brother Branham was to introduce Jesus Christ to the elect of this day – you and I.
***But we will notice that William Branham was not sent to introduce Christ in the form of the man from Galilee as John the Baptist was, because that is what the world saw, but Jesus told us that the world would not see him in that form anymore, but yet we would see him, and that he would come to us.
*The world will not see me, but you shall see ME because I will reveal myself to you by the word spoken in your day.
JOHN 1:1
1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
JOHN 1:4
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (The Light of men is when the word of God is revealed to you, and that is also life – “my words are spirit and life”)
JOHN 1:14a
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,

20-1 My mission, that I believe that God has called me for... I--I have to say some personal things today, because that's what I told you I'd do (See?), and tell the world. My mission, I believe, to the earth is what? Is to forerun the coming Word (See?) the coming Word which is Christ.
LUKE 17:24-30
24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. (The people of Noah’s day could not accept that God would destroy the entire world because of one man’s message, but that was the light for their day, and to reject that light was death, but to receive it was life)
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
So in what form is he “Revealed” in?
**John Introduced him as the man from Galilee – that was to the Jews, and that is why he will revealed himself to the Jews again in like manner for they will ask him where did you get those scares. But when he first appeared to Paul (the first church age messenger), he revealed himself to him in the form of a voice.
THE.PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE_ JEFF.IN ROJC 229-285 WEDNESDAY_ 60-1207
88 …Now, trace that Word, Saint John 1, "In the beginning (way back) was the Word," that created the heavens and earth. Is that right? "And the Word was with God, and the Word was Deity. And Deity was made flesh and dwelled among us." Is that right? "The Word was made flesh and dwelled among us."
And here He is standing here, the One at the beginning, "Say this to the angel of the church of--of Perga--Pergamos. Say this to him, I am the Word of God." Oh, we see Him over in Revelations, coming with His vesture dipped in Blood, crown upon His head, riding on a white horse, and on His thigh was written, "The Word of God." Oh, I like that. He is the Word, the Word of God. So we see this Deity then in the beginning, to introduce Himself, He is the Word.

E-38 …"Why, this is--this is Zacharias' son. So I tell you what we'll do. We'll... I tell you what we'll do. We'll make him a great man among us like this, because his father was a great man. We'll give him his education, and his Ph.D., and all like this."
John knowed if he ever got that injected into him, he'd lose the real value of his call. So he goes into the wilderness and wait, because he knew that he was to introduce the Messiah. He knew then the same thing that we're supposed to be knowing today, that the coming of the Messiah was at hand, as we believe today.
How could the people of John the Baptist’s day ever know who Christ was unless John had introduced him to them – Jesus Christ first came to them through the introduction by the ministry of John, and so it must repeat the same in this day.
*Outside of this message of Malachi 4 you will never know who Christ is for this day – that is God’s pattern that he has laid out for this time.
“I will COME to YOU” - For Christ to come to you in this hour, he will have to follow the exact same pattern because he never changes his patterns.
THE.MASTERPIECE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 SUNDAY_ 64-0705
67 … And the greatest of all of them was John. The Bible said so. Jesus said it. "There is not a man, ever born of a woman, as great as John the Baptist," for he was the one that could introduce the Word.
***Remember that when Christ first came to the Jews he came in the form of the man from Galilee, and so when he comes back again to the Jews at the end of this age, he will also come back in that same form. But to us gentiles, he does not come to us in that form, but he is reveal to us in this age by the voice of his word.
ZACCHAEUS.THE.BUSINESSMAN_ TUCSON.AZ MONDAY_ 63-0121
228 Israel is in her homeland, the great calendar of God. She is returning back, looking, "Where is the Messiah?"
229 We know that when Joseph made hisself known to his brothers, that he dismissed the Gentiles from the courts. His wife and children were in the palace. There must be a taking away of the Gentile, that Israel might be made known. Then there'll come a time of a wailing and screaming and crying, "Where did You get those scars?"
230 He said, "In the hands of My friend. From My friends I have got these scars in My hand," in the house where He was really should be accepted, when He makes Hisself known to Israel again.
***Look how Christ revealed himself to Paul (the first Church age messenger) on the road to Damascus – by a light and a voice. **So God cannot break that pattern when he appears to the last gentile church age messenger in 1933 when that light came down while he was baptizing and a voice spoke out of that Light and said.
**As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, so will your message forerun his second coming”.
MATTHEW 3:11-15
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
13 ¶ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
*Jesus came to John in the form of his corporal body when John was baptizing in the water – maybe it was the seventeenth person?
*****But when Jesus came to the two on the road to Emmaus – Notice carefully, he came to them in the same form of a man that he came to John in the water, but it wasn’t his corporal body that revelled who he was to them, it was the opening of the word and in the way he broke the bread, that is what revealed him to them – and that is the only way he will be revealed to you and I in this day, by the opening of the word – that is why he has taken the seals off the word in this hour, it is to reveal Christ to you – “I will come to you”.
***So when William Branham introduces Jesus Christ to the bride of this age, there is no corporal body required because that is not how he reveals himself to gentile individuals – Christ is Revealed by his Own Word.
MATTHEW 24:36-42
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Christ was in the form of the ark in that day, but only Noah and his group knew that that was Christ by the revelation of the word for their day)
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (This is again dealing with individuals, so this is Gentiles and not Jews, so this is a Gentile people in the end time season of the rapture)
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (***This is not necessarily at the literal rapture at the changing of our bodies, but this is dealing with individuals during the rapture cycle when the elected bride are one by one are being caught up into the revelation of Christ by the voice of the word of this hour, “come up higher John”, one shall be taken up into the revelation of Christ and the other left – this takes place within this message)
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
These scriptures pertain to this time and to this message, it is dealing with the coming of the Lord.
“I WILL COME TO YOU” – that is the seventh seal himself talking, the one who opened the previous 6 seals.
“I will be with you in the form of the voice of the seventh angel, but then my word will be in you”.
He could not be in us in the form of Jesus of Nazareth, he can only dwell in us in the form of his revealed word which is the spirit of truth.
The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and THAY ARE LIFE JOHN 6:63
***As Jesus Christ was the word dwelling in flesh for his day (and John identified him), now that same word has come into a people called the bride of Christ, and the messenger of this hour has identified her.
***He is now dwelling in his bride in the form of the word that a prophet has restored to us in this hour. So now Christ is being revealed in a many membered body called the bride of Christ – she is now bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh – she is him, she is the eternal word of God made flesh for this day – the bride coming of Christ - Jesus Christ has appeared in the flesh of his many membered bride – the world won’t see me, but ye shall see me.
I JOHN 4:2-4
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

448 Now notice, God making Hisself known. Not, we're not suppose to make converts to Christianity by a government; but by the revelation, the Christ in you, as God was in Christ. As God was in Christ, Christ in you! When, what God did in Christ, Christ does in you! What signs did God in Christ, Christ does in you! Oh, isn't that beautiful? Uh! Oh, my! I like that.
449 Jesus said, "At that day," that's this day. "At that day," when this revelation is made known, "you will know that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me; I in you, and you in Me." When the revelation is made manifest, "At that day ye shall know that I and the Father are One; I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me." Then when the revelation comes forth, then it's, "I in you, and you in Me."
**We become the word by receiving the word – Eat up the little book John... eat the message of this hour.
*Christ is not revealed to you personally in this day by the appearing of the physical man from Galilee. ***Christ is – THE MYTERY OF GOD REVEALED. ***When this voice of the word of this hour is revealed to you, then that IS CHRIST, that is the revealing of the son of man – “I will come to YOU” - by personally revealing to you my word for your day.

**These are profound truths that we must not lose the vision of in this hour.

He has kept His promise to us in this age…
