Portals into Other Worlds
GENESIS 5:22-24
22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Enoch left this earth – he went from this world into another world, and we know that this is our direct type for this age because we are in the astronaut age – we are the real astronauts.
And like the scientists who have discover a power to cause a man to be taken from the earth, so we have also discover a power that will one day take us from the earth.
HEBREWS 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
HEBREWS 11:5
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (The only way to please God is by having faith in his word, and that can only come by having a revelation of who he is for your day)
HEBREWS 11:7
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
(We see that Noah also went into another world, he went from an antediluvian world into a post antediluvian world, and the ark was the portal that he entered into in order to go from one world to the other world.)
Portals into Other Worlds
Notice – That Noah and his group stepped into the ark from one world, and then stepped out of the ark into another world – so the ark was the power and the gateway or portal into another world.
This word portal is a word that is quite often used in either science fiction or fantasy and generally refers to a technological or a magical doorway that connects two distant locations or worlds separated by space and time. It usually consists of a capsule that you enter into and are “teleported”, or an entrance doorway from either end that gives access from one world to the other world, so that an object entering through one doorway will then exit out of other doorway instantaneously.
CS Lewis portrayed this idea very well in the Narnia series of the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe – the wardrobe being the gate way into a new world.
Places that are linked by a portals can include different locations in the same universe – we see how that Philip was “teleported” in Acts chapter 8 from one location to another location – from Gaza to Azotus about 30 miles away.
Jesus also used this type of transportation in his glorified body form when he would travel and appear to his followers.
When the two on the road to Emmaus got back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples that they had seen Jesus, Jesus just appeared there also and he wasted puffy from running 6 miles like the other two were.
LUKE 24:31-36
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
When we talk about portals, there is also the idea of parallel worlds and of inter-dimensional portals that take you from the past or the future (time transportation portals), the same world but a different time.
Brother Branham was often allowed to look through these portals of time into the childhood of a person to see where there trouble came from, or into their future to see them healed – we have many examples of that in the message.
The Hubble space telescope is also effectively a portal that lets scientists see into other times and other worlds.
The space capsule is also a portal that astronauts step into from this world, and then step out of from into another world.
Noah’s ark was also a portal that God provided to take them from one world into another world – they step through a door from one world, and then step out of that door into another world.
Enoch also found a portal that took him to another world.
Brother Branham referred to this word portal in the words of a song that he loved and quoted often called – “there’s a land beyond the river”.
REVELATION.CHAPTER.FOUR.2_ JEFF.IN ROJC 585-643 SUNDAY_ 61-0101
1 So glad to be in again this morning. I was just thinking of how that this snow... Now, and if we were in Colorado, this snow would be real soft and fluffy, and be about forty below zero. And you could [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] blow like that, and go plumb down to the dust. And it'd be like that all winter long. But now, as here, in this, oh, kind of a twixt between zones, then now it gets real wet and sloshy and bad, and it just looks like that I--I wish I could just fly away over in Arizona, and wait till spring come, and then come back.
That's how we all have colds, the germs and things now just lay on the ground, and it'll freeze, and then thaw, and then freeze, and then thaw. And that comes up and we breathe that in, and get sore throats, headaches, and aches, and pains. And, my, my, what a time, what a place. (He is talking about this world of sickness, pain, struggle and death)
But there's a land beyond the river,
That they call that sweet forever,
And we only reach that shore by faith decree;
One by one we gain that portal,
There to dwell with the immortal,
Someday they'll ring those golden bells for you and me.
That's where we go home to stay then, isn't it? That's the day we're looking for.
It is said that the Greek philosopher Plato reflected deeply on the idea of parallel realities, resulting in Platonism, in which the upper reality is perfect while the lower earthly reality is an imperfect shadow of the heavenly. The lower reality is similar but with flaws.
And we know that the bible and the message of the hour teaches that exactly.
Down here in this world there is death, but in that higher world of that reality there is no death
**In this world there is sickness, but over there, there is no sickness or sorrow or pain or struggle.
Here there are negatives, but over there are no negative, there are only positives – like parallel worlds, but one is negative while the other is only positive.
***And so the reality of a negative world proves that there must be a positive world somewhere, there must be another world that this negative was made from like the negative of a picture is made from the positive image.
So if there is death in this world, then that is the negative, but it proves that there must be a world where there is no death, because you can’t have the negative until you first have the positive, and you can’t have death until you first have life.
THE.MASTERPIECE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 SUNDAY_ 64-0705
11 So we--we realize that we're here in a negative form. And as long as there is a negative, there has to be a positive. There cannot be a negative without a positive, see, because it's because of the positive that makes the negative. Like you had a negative picture of some object. There has to be an object somewhere, or to strike, the light strike that lens, or there wouldn't be any--any negative. So when we see that our life here is in the negative, and knowing that we're in the image of some life somewhere, then we know that there is a positive somewhere that the light has struck, and it's reflected something here on earth. And we are only that reflection. The genuine object is somewhere. If that isn't, I'm the worst deceived man in the world; I've spent my life in vain. But I know, beyond a shadow of doubt, that it's there. See? That's why we're here. See?
COUNTDOWN_ JEFF.IN V-11 N-3 SUNDAY_ 62-0909M
31 …And I believe, that in there, that everything on earth reflects heaven. I believe that because that you see everything struggling for life is because that there is a life that it's reflected from. And I believe that when God made the man, He started reflecting the smaller things such as the animal life, and then the next thing He created was something different. That's just exactly the way the Bible says He did it. He made first the trees and the botany life, and He made man. And then the last thing that ever come from the earth in the form of creation was a man, nothing higher ever come. Because why? It was a perfect reflection of the highest in heaven, which, God is a Man. See? God is a Man; so therefore, it proves it. And when God came down to dwell among us, He was a Man. See? A Man, so it shows that the perfection of evolution was God, which is a Man.
33 And then you take a tree (you take the grass and so forth), take a tree, it reflects the Tree of Life which is in heaven. All these things are struggling for perfection. And everything in the natural, as Hebrews says here, was made of things which do not appear. Other words, they are supernatural. And the supernatural is reflecting the natural. See? Now, then the natural was eternal, or is to be everlasting with the supernatural, but sin perverted the natural. So and if that is so, which I believe it is, then everything that's happening on earth is a type of spiritual things that's happening. See? It's got to reflect something, the achievement of man.

228 You see a tree struggling trying to live, that means there's a tree that don't die. You see a man struggling for life, it shows that there is a tabernacle waiting somewhere that don't die. "If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved we have one already waiting." The good Heavenly Father permitted me to walk behind that curtain one day and see it. How many heard the...?... See? Looking a-pass the curtain of time. There it was just the same as I'm preaching to you all, there they stood. Souls under the altar crying, "How long?" Not just a myth, somebody who had intelligence: "How long, Lord?" See? While we feel that now, as our age, like Brother Bill Dauch setting here at ninety-three. There's something longing for that young man again.
We know that God took brother Branham through some kind of portal beyond this curtain of time and into another world – he was an astronaut, and when he got there, that world was filled with trees and grass and beautiful birds of paradise flying from tree to tree, and people, and his horse and dog were there, and there were fields and hills, and all that he ever loved and that ever loved him were there.
And there was no old age or death there, and there was no sorrow because it was all joy forevermore.
***How did he enter that land, that higher world that was just as real as this one – that is what we want to know? How did Enoch find that portal and leave this world and entered into another world? How did Noah leave one world and enter into another world.
II PETER 1:11
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
An entrance has to be made known to you - ministered to you, a doorway that you enter in from this end and come out into that new world on the other side of the portal.
**So by the experience of the Prophet and by the teaching of the message we have been allowed a glimpse into that other world like scientists looking at the moon through a telescope, but the message of this day it is not just a viewing window that we can look through to let us see into that world, but it is to advance into a portal that will one day allow us access to physically go to that world.
***So the Hubble space telescope is like the message of the hour, it is a visual portal that lets them see into other worlds, it is allowing them to receive information that is ministering an entrance into those worlds.
*Why is it that everyone seems to want to go to Mars – why is that? Because this is the anointing that is also on the bride, and that anointing is to leave this world and go to another one.
REVELATION 9:1-2
1 ¶ And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; (**Remember - Revelation 10 is the opening of the word to release information to an elected people to minister an entrance to them in order to take them and transport them into another world like Enoch, but Revelation 9 is the opening of the bottomless pit that also releases information by the advancement of technology to take this generation of people into other worlds of sin and darkness and deception) and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
We know that the fifth dimension (which is hell), the access to that has been opened up in this hour by this key of the technology and by the advancement of the knowledge of good and evil, this is what has given the people access into these realms, and so by the increase of man’s intelligence and by the invention of the television screen and by the discovery of the fourth dimension of radio waves, this has enabled the invention of the video screen to become a portal that lets you look into these other worlds like the Hubble space telescope lets us see other worlds in space.
***So by people viewing over into these other worlds, this is a ministering spirit that is opening to them a portal into the kingdom of that world first in their minds.
II CORINTHIANS 3:18
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Berean Literal Bible
And we all having been unveiled in face (in other words, our faces have been uncovered so that we can see clearly), beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Our spirits are changed into the revelation that has been unveiled to us and that we are beholding.
***People are so deceived in this day – there are so many portals ministering entrances into other worlds, and then taking people to those worlds that are places that are destinations of deception.
*People will get so upset when they think that the moon landing was faked by the Americans, - oh how shocked they become to think that maybe they along with the rest of the whole world has been tricked into thinking that the Americans landed on the moon when maybe it was all a big lie. Yet they won’t give one thought about the fact that they have been totally deceived by the devil in this age and have missed recognizing one of the greatest prophets that God has sent into the world to minister to them an entrance to transport them into a world of perfect truth.
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.
(Weymouth New Testament - For just as the lightning, when it flashes, shines from one part of the horizon to the opposite part, so will the Son of Man be on His day.)
25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. (That is a compound scripture that also apply to this day because he has also suffered many things and has also been rejected in this day – his last rejection will be in the form of the bride)
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
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.
Let’s go back quickly to the days of Noah to see what took the elect out of that condition and transported them over into the new world.
GENESIS 6:10-18
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 ¶ The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 ¶ And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Notice - An entrance was being ministered to Noah and his group.
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
GENESIS 7:1
1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the (Portal) ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
**There was a portal provided them for that hour, because when they stepped out of that ark, they were in another world.
**Enoch was transported into another world without seeing death, showing what is also promised for us in this hour.
***Noah’s group that believed his message for that day, an entrance was ministered unto them into that portal of the door of the ark for that hour, and that was what transported them from one world into another world, and so that same pattern will repeat itself again at this end time age when the Son of Man is being revealed by a prophetic ministry, that is our promise.
