Stay and Look on This
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.
(In each church age, there was a specific number of predestinated people that God had had born into each church age for the purpose of having them believe the message sent to them through the messenger of their specific age – because each individual bride member of the seven church ages had to be assigned to the age that was specific to them – of the portion of the word that would birth and quicken them into the bride body of Christ category, and so that was the purpose that they were raised up for, and our age is no different, we have been raised up in this age to believe Malachi 4’s message)
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, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
REVELATION 10:7-11
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
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 (Remember – Eve didn’t eat an apple, and John didn’t eat a book, but what they ate was information – and the knowledge of that information was the thing that caused the events that followed after their eating); 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.
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
The information of the word that was opened up to us through the voice of the seventh angel has now been placed into the hearts and minds of an end time people. And so the message that was given to the prophet of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 has now been transferred into a people, and now it is they who are speaking the same revelation through their voice and ministry and reiterating it out over the World Wide Web before many peoples and nations, and tongues, and kings. And so we have seen this prophecy become history in our day.
Stay and Look on This
I have taken the thought and title of this subject from the dream of brother Junior Jackson that brother Branham tells us about in to us in the message “Is This the Sign of the End Sir” preached on the Sunday evening of the 30th of December 1962. We remember that there were six straight dreams by six different people, and then straight after those dreams came the vision of the seven angels appearing with the revelation of the seven seals.
IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E
15-1 And said, "Then you picked up something, like from the air, something like a wrecking bar, or--or a crowbar," wasn't it, brother? Something like that, a wrecking bar, real sharp, and said, "How you done it, I don't know." And said, "You struck the top of that mountain, ripped it around, and lifted the cap of it off. It was in the shape of a pyramid. And you ripped the top of it off." Now, that was months and months and months before the pyramid message was preached (He is referring to the message of “The Statue of a Perfect Man” preach on the 14th October 1962). And said, "Beneath that was white stone, granite, and you said, 'The sun, or the light, has never shined on this before. Look in on this. Watch this.'"
And that's right, because in the formation of the world, the world was formed before there was light. We all know that. God moved upon the water, and--and then in the beginning He spoke for light. And naturally, down under there in the age that formation was, that light had never come upon that stone. (we know that a stone is symbolic for revelation, and this was a white stone – and so this is symbolizing revelation (or truth) that has never been seen or understood before)
15-3 And he said, "Look upon this. Light has never come upon it before." And when all of them got up, and I told them to watch that, and all of them come up to look in. But he said while they were looking in, he looked out of the corner of his eye, I believe it was, and watched me. I slipped off to one side and started going towards the west, towards the setting of the sun, coming up a hill, going down a hill, coming up a hill, going down a hill, getting smaller and smaller, and went all the way out of sight. (His ministry would decrease because like John the Baptist, he was sent to introduce a greater one than himself – and that was Christ, and so the word increased, but William Branham himself was eventually taken off the scene in December 1965)
And he said then, when I did that... He said, "Then the brethren turned around after while, and said, 'Did he vanish? Where did he go?'" And said, "Some took out that way, some took one way, and some another, but a very few stayed and looked on to what I had told them."
They were more interested in William Branham (the man) then the opening of the revealed word that his ministry came to introduce to us – and this is why that over the years (since the departure of the prophet), many have not stayed and kept looking at the opening of the word of what a prophet of God told us to keep looking at – to stay and look on this. And so they began to run off onto their own ideas of their own little religious psychological programs – and haven’t we seen so much of that over the years.
**And that is why that many portions of these 6 dreams were actually prophecies of future events of the things that would take place in the message world even after the departure of the prophet.
**And this is why that as message believers, it is so important for us to be of those who stay and keep looking at and focusing our attention and thoughts upon the truths of the message that God has laid open before us.
*In other words, we have to be focused and perseverant and persistent with it, and act out the part of the prophecy of those few who stayed and kept looking upon this opening of the word of what light has never shone on before.
PERSEVERANCE_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ 62-0520
E-11 "Perseverance," according to Webster's dictionary, I was--I was just looking, it means to be "persistent, to--in making a goal." You must be fully persuaded and be persistent. Then you're perseverant. And--and now, it's--it's a good word. I like it. I'm very fond of that fine word: perseverant. And I think that's the attitude that all Christians should be in at all times. Be perseverant.
And men through all ages that has faith in what they are trying to achieve, has always been perseverant. All down through the history of time, men that's ever done anything has been men trying to achieve something. And they have to have faith in what they're trying to achieve, and when they do, then they are perseverant.
*In our opening scripture we read of the answer that Jesus gave to the question that His disciples asked him about doing the work of God.
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.
*And so we want to begin this new year of 2026 by reminding ourselves that this is our work and purpose that as believers of this end time message we have been raised up for in this age to do and to achieve.
Because our ultimate purpose is to come into a full maturity of understanding and revelation of who we are in this hour – because faith comes to you when you truly know who you are according to the prophecy of this hour.
*There is a power of revelation that comes to us, of what we are given access to by simply sticking with something for the long haul - persevering.
Many things in life take the persistence of hard work in connection with time to then “pay off” as we would say, because things of great worth don’t happen overnight, they take time to come to a maturity, of when they will start to bear fruit – it’s the law of sowing and reaping.
**As human beings, we don’t go from infant to adult in an instant, but it’s a process of experiences and of the growth of the building up of knowledge upon knowledge over many years.
*If you want to learn a trade, or study to become a doctor or an engineer or architect, then these things will require many years of dedication and study.
*If you want to learn a musical instrument or other skills that requires a high level of coordination and fine motor muscle skills, then it is important that we first learn the importance of perseverance, of being able to stay with that thing, and to keep looking upon that subject. We must stay and keep looking on it.
**And so it is with this end time message, when it was first spoken through a prophetic voice of this generation – God had to coincided the voice of that prophet with the lives of an elected people on earth that were ordained to hear that voice and receive the message of God, because it is only by the hearing of the message for your age that will quicken the elect for the age. No other message will do that for you.
*And so the elected bride member of Christ for each age were born into their specific age in order to respond to the voice of God for their day and for their day only, because it is the message for you day that seals you for your age – and so this is why that not one member of the bride for any age will fail to hear the message for their day. Every single bride member cannot fail but to come to a faith and a birth and a sealing under their messenger and message.
**Because like the 144,000 elected Jews that will hear and receive the message of their two prophets Moses and Elijah during the tribulation period, we find that they were perfectly in their tribal order as shown in Revelation Ch:7 – and so it is for each gentile church age, each elected person is in their “tribe” under their messenger.
THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E
551-2 {197} Now, notice in Revelations 7 we read this: twelve thousand of each tribe. Of the elected out of all of it, there's twelve thousand out of each tribe that's elected and are set right here in order. Oh, my. What are they? They're in tribal order. Yet they are not now, but they will be. They're in tribal order. What will be in tribal order? Not the regular Jew; no, but the ones that's the elected, the hundred and forty-four thousand will be set in tribal order.
Oh, my. How I would like to show you. We won't go into it, but that's exactly what the Church has to be: right in order.
***But even though we (as the gentile elected group) were born with an internal ear to hear and understand the message that God has sent for our day, the revelation of that message still requires a process of perseverance and time to mature in us.
**In this last age, we know that the maturity of the bride of Christ is to be a restoration back to the fullness of the word again as understood by Paul and his group of what the early church had before much of it became lost during the darkness of the seven church ages, but then furthermore to that, is that we are promised that our faith in this age would then keep growing beyond that in order to matured into an even great level of the faith of what Adam had in Eden before the fall of man.
**Because in this day, we are at the time of when that title deed of what Adam lost has now been given back to an elected group of people again – the living decedents.
***Because you don’t read out the last will and testament to the dead, but to the living decedents.
**And so the message that has come to us in this hour is connected directly to the title deed of what Adam lost – and it is this that is to be restored back to us again in this day by the reading out of the will by the revelation of this.
***And so the legal power of everything that Adam had before the fall of man has been legally placed back into our possession by the Lamb with the opened book, but for us to come into the maturity and “skill” of that power, we have to stay with the message of what God has sent and keep continuing to look on it - that is that we must keep looking upon the revelation of the teaching of the revealed word for this day, and not to run away by distraction onto other things.
*And this is why it is so important for us to focus on the “message” of the thoughts of God of what He has sent to us - of what He is wanting us to come into the full understanding and maturity of.
*Because many good message ministers (if we are not careful), find that it is easy to fall into the trap of just preaching good moral and good living styled sermons on how to be better Christians and to live good moral lives and how to have good marriages and relationships with our children and fellow man, and how to deal with the problems that the world has been flooded with in this evil age of Satan’s Eden – and there is nothing wrong with those things in themselves.
**But the problem is that a message minister could literally spend 30 years of his ministry doing all that sort of thing, and yet totally fail to keep looking at the white rock of the revealed word that has been uncapped to us in this hour, and then fail to get their people to Christ who is the revealed word of this age.
**And so I think it is a good idea to start this year by reminding ourselves that Christ is “The Mystery of God Revealed”; that is who HE IS in this day – He IS the “Mystery of the Word Revealed”.
In other words – “When the mystery of the word is revealed to you, then that is Christ.
*And so if we want to get our young people (and our older ones) to CHRIST (and not just to church), then that is the important thing to focus on – to ensure that we are ministering the full word of the revelation of God that has ongoingly been unveiled to us through the ministry and voice of Revelation 10:7, because the reality is, that there is nothing else that has the power to keep us in this hour.
*And that is why as ministers, we have to be in the channel of the word being unfolded to us personally, or he will have no “meat” in due season to feed the sheep that have been entrusted by God into our care.
**A prophet of God told us that revelation is the most powerful thing.
When we speak of psychology – then that is to do with the thoughts of our mind, and the idea is that we can use the thoughts of mind to overcome things with, and that might work in some cases for certain things, and the prophet said that that is ok, but it is often not enough for the bigger things, because psychology will not give you a supernatural faith that will allow you the overcoming power that will overcome the deception of this end time age, but revelation will, and revelation is when the mystery of God for this age is revealed to you.
13-4 THE.REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.1
The importance of revelation by the Spirit to a true believer can never be over emphasized. Revelation means more to you than perhaps you realize. Now I am not talking about this Book of Revelation and you. I am talking about ALL revelation. It is tremendously important to the church.
The bible doesn’t tell us that they overcame the devil by psychology, but that they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the revelation of the word of what they spoke.
REVELATION 12:11
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
Their word of what they testified was the same word of what had been given to them by God through the messenger for their day.
**And so as we go into this new year of 2026, we want to keep this instruction and admonition in our focus, and that is to stay with the message of what God has sent, and to keep looking upon it as we are told by in a dream that Brother Branham tells us about, and also places the telling of this dream in the Seventh Seal on the evening of the 24th of March 1963.
IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E
14-3 Now, I show you, knowing what was going to happen, Brother Jackson dreamed a dream. He couldn't get away from it. And I was leaving his church, and he just couldn't stand it. How long ago has it been Brother Jackson? [Brother Jackson says, "I had the dream in February of '61."--Ed.]
February of '61 he had the dream. And he come to me, and he said, "Something is on my heart; I must tell you, Brother Branham."
I said, "Go on, Brother Jackson."
And he said, "I dreamed a dream," and there it was. I just set still. And I listened and watched. He said, "I dreamed that there was a great big hill, like out in a field where bluegrass, or something was." And said, "Up on top of this hill, where the water had washed away the soil, there was a top rock up on top of the hill; like the--the top of the mountain. It was rock, no grass. And where the water had washed down, it had cut some kind of readings on these stones, and you were standing there interpreting this reading on these stones." And said, "All of it..." And here's the way he put it, said, "The brethren from Georgia, and from all around, we were all standing together, listening to you interpret that mysterious writing on those stones that mountain."
15-1 And said, "Then you picked up something, like from the air, something like a wrecking bar, or--or a crowbar," wasn't it, brother? Something like that, a wrecking bar, real sharp, and said, "How you done it, I don't know." And said, "You struck the top of that mountain, ripped it around, and lifted the cap of it off. It was in the shape of a pyramid. And you ripped the top of it off." Now, that was months and months and months before the pyramid message was preached. And said, "Beneath that was white stone, granite, and you said, 'The sun, or the light, has never shined on this before. Look in on this. Watch this.'"
And that's right, because in the formation of the world, the world was formed before there was light. We all know that. God moved upon the water, and--and then in the beginning He spoke for light. And naturally, down under there in the age that formation was, that light had never come upon that stone.
15-3 And he said, "Look upon this. Light has never come upon it before." And when all of them got up, and I told them to watch that, and all of them come up to look in. But he said while they were looking in, he looked out of the corner of his eye, I believe it was, and watched me. I slipped off to one side and started going towards the west, towards the setting of the sun, coming up a hill, going down a hill, coming up a hill, going down a hill, getting smaller and smaller, and went all the way out of sight.
And he said then, when I did that... He said, "Then the brethren turned around after while, and said, 'Did he vanish? Where did he go?'" And said, "Some took out that way, some took one way, and some another, but a very few stayed and looked on to what I had told them."
THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E
566-3 {318} Now, notice this--that now, when this taken place, Junior was standing in a field that had a--had a big pyramid to it like that, and there was something wrote on the rocks, and I was revealing that to the people. Is that right, Junior? About a year before it happened...
And notice the next thing now. I took some kind of a bar and cut it off, and on the inside was white rock that had nothing wrote on it. And at that time I started to the west. And I told them all; I said, "Don't go out west. Stay here and look on this till I return." Went west for the blast, returned back to the east with the Holy Spirit interpreting this unwritten Word. Now, if that isn't perfectly the God Almighty, I want you to know what is. What am I trying to say this for, friends? Is to show you we're at the end time.
We know that the seventh seal is the opening up of the word (the coming of the Lord in Revealed Word form) and that the purpose for Christ leaving His mediatorial work after the dispensation of the seven church ages has ceased is for the purpose of giving back to the living decedents of Adam, the Title Deed of the lost inheritance of which includes the power of the spoken word that Adam lost after the fall in Eden.
