The People of the Prophecy
ESTHER 4:10-14
10 Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai; (Esther had just received the news through the ministry of Hatach of the pending death of her Jewish people by the decree of Haman. *If the Jews were wiped out, then there could be no 144,000 at the end of the Gentile dispensation to fulfill the prophecy of scripture – this is why Satan works so hard to try to destroy the people of God – that’s why Cain killed Abel, it’s Satan trying to stop prophecy. It’s the same thing with an end time the gentile bride – if he can somehow wipe out the believers of this last day message, then he thinks that he will be able to stop the prophecies concerning an end time gentile bride of Christ. But what he doesn’t know, is that it is impossible to stop prophecy, because heavens and earth will pass away before one jot or tittle of the word could ever fail)
11 All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
(Esther had been married to the king for around seven or so years at this point)
12 And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
All that way down through the bible, there were people that God raised up in each season of time for the purpose of certain prophecies of the word of God to become history in their lives. And so Mordecai knew that this could be the purpose of why Esther had come into the position that she held – that maybe God had raised her up and positioned her in that position of marriage to the king in order to be used by God to bring a resurrection for her people.
And so this was where Esther struggled with this thought under the ministry of Mordecai and Hatach - she wanted to run and hide from this responsibility.
REVELATION 7:1-3
1 ¶ And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
These four angles are commanded to hold back any war that would destroy Israel until these 144,000 of the people of the prophecy have been sealed by the revelation that will come to them by their two Jewish prophets – Moses and Elijah.
These 144,000 elected Jew will be identified by hearing and receiving the message of their two prophets that will reveal Jesus as their Messiah – they will be the people of this prophecy.
The People of the Prophecy
The Devil is always trying to destroy the people of the prophecy – that is what is going on now with the Israeli conflict.
*There is a mystery of Deity in humanity that has been going on right from the beginning of the creation of man.
Yet this expression of God fulfilling His word in the lives of people down through history, God has never made this into a public show of some great supernatural performance that all the world will see and recognize, yet this is the realm of where the supernatural operates in the world and in your life.
*The mystery of God that is interpreted and revealed in a person’s life may only manifest itself in one small event in their entire life, or it may be spread out over many years of their life, and so the fulfilment of the prophecy of the word can often be very hard to see when it takes place in a person’s life.
**God will do a little thing in one place in your life at a certain time, and then God will do another little event in another place over here in your life, and then you will make a decision at another point in your life, and all these things will add up to what God is achieving of His word being expressed and lived out and interpreted in your life.
**And this is why you can be the person of a certain prophecy, yet to the outside world, they cannot see it because it is lived out in such a humble and spread-out way in your life that no one can connect your life to the fulfilment of scripture.
**Look at the prophecy of Malichi 4 of an Elijah ministry that would come in the last days to restore the faith of the children to the fathers – there was a literal person of that prophecy that lived out the fulfilment of that prophecy in this age, but even with all the supernatural events that surrounded his ministry, the religious world still missed it completely.
*And so if the religious world were able to completely missed such a great event of all the scriptures and prophecies that applied to the ministry that God gave to His prophet William Branham, how much more will they fail to see the people of the prophecy of the word concerning an end time bride of Christ.
But we are called in this hour to see these things.
All your life, God is training you by the events and the circumstances of your life – all your ups and downs and failures are for a purpose.

252 …' Why does the scribes say that--that, 'Elias must first come'?" They said to Jesus.
253 He said, "Elias has already come and you didn't know it." See? He did just exactly what the Scriptures said was to happen to Him. See? "So must the Son of man suffer. Under..." They didn't recognize Him. Yet, they were all in the church.
**So at the time when the prophecy of the scriptures is becoming history in a people, the world will never be able to recognize it because of the humble and simple and unrecognized way that God will do it. But yet this is how God fulfils His word in people’s lives. This is how Deity is reflected in humanity.
SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ NEWARK.NJ WEDNESDAY_ 57-1211
E-57 …So we're at the end time. We're right in the shadows of His coming right now. I'm so thankful to see that He's come down to prove His Word if it's before a dozen, or before a million. But it'll pass right through the people, and millions will never know about it. It always has been that way, and it always will be that way.

20-1 {111} …God will hide Himself in something so simple that'll cause the wise to miss it a million miles and then turn right back around in that, some simple thing in the simplicity of His way of working and reveal Hisself right out again.
..." It's so simple. And we know that God is so great, till we expect it to be some great something, and we miss the simple things. We stumble over simplicity. That's how we miss God, is by stumbling over simplicity.
… Miss Him by the way that He reveals Himself, for He is so great, yet hides Himself in simplicity to make Hisself known to the least.
**This is why we stumble over the simplicity of how God fulfills the prophecy of His word in our own lives of us being a part of His end time bride. It seems almost too fantastic for us to think of it.
**We will all look at our own mistakes and failings and wonder if we could really be the people of this great prophecy of an end time bride of Christ – a people that the word promised would not see mortal death, but that would be changed from mortal to immortality – all these great prophecies that pertain to a specific people of this end time hour.
***God is able to fulfil the prophecy of His word in such a humble way that it will seem like just common and natural events in our lives. And so because of this humility of how God brings His word to pass in our lives, we personally fail to see ourselves as the people of the prophecy of the prophetic word of God because we stumble at what seems like the simplicity of it of how God brings his word to pass in our lives.
THE.FOURTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN THURSDAY_ 63-0321
322-4 {314} And He's got wrote, "Life," riding on a white horse, and here's a man with three different powers mixed up, called death, gathering his earthbound delegates, and Christ is gathering His heaven-born subjects, saints.
He's got death wrote on him; Christ's got Life wrote on Him. Those with Him are on white horses also, and they are called "the chosen before the foundation of the world," (Amen.) and they are faithful to the Word. Amen. Whew. I like that one. Called, chosen before the foundation of the world, and then faithful to the Word by their choosing…
*By your choosing to be faithful to the word for this hour, that is the evidence that you were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world because you can only choose to be faithful if you have first been chosen.
**Every person’s life - the actions and the choices they make in their life, when we look at the accumulated events of a person’s life, it shows us of what part of the prophecy for their age and season that they lived out.
REVELATION 10:8-10
8 ¶ And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
**The actions and expressions of a person’s life comes out of the things that they have ingested of their belief by the teaching and the world view of what they have been exposed to. It depends on the fruit of the tree you are eating from.
This is why the true bride of Christ must be exposed to the teaching of the voice of the spirit of God for this hour because you express out of your life the word that you have ingested.

THE FINAL ADMONITION TO THE AGE
Revelation 3:13,
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches."…
Oh, there are so many voices in the world--so many problems and needs crying for attention; but there will never be a voice so important and so worth attending as the voice of the Spirit. So, "He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches."
As believers in this end time age, there will never be a voice so important and worth attending as the voice of the Spirit of the word that has come to us by the message of the hour.
**It is very important for us to know what age we are living in along with knowing the prophecy of the word for the age we live in, or we will be walking blind like the rest of the world. Brother Branham preached a message called “Recognizing Your Day and its Message” - 26th of July 1964.
***We must recognize what part of the word that the bride is to manifest for this age, because the word prophesied for the age can only come to pass in the people predestinated to that position by the supernatural act of God’s providence and purpose for their personal lives.
