The Two Great Suppers at the Evening Time
REVELATION 19:7-9
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (Notice – at the time of the marriage there is also a change of garment)
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb (Not “marriage breakfast”, but supper time, evening time at the end of the seven church ages). And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Four things take place here, first the marriage is come, then the wife makes herself ready, then the change of garment, and then the great marriage supper. Shout, voice, trump, supper.
REVELATION 3:20
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice (that is the call of His Voice), and open the door (that’s the door to your heart which is the seat of your desires), I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Not breakfast time, not lunch time, but supper time, at evening time)
Weymouth New Testament - translation
I am now standing at the door and am knocking. If any one listens to My voice and opens the door, I will go in to be with him and will feast with him, and he shall feast with Me.
The Two Great Suppers at the Evening Time
Little bible study before we take the Lord ’s Supper
– we want to show these two great suppers at this evening time age because the first of these great suppers is taking place right now by the revelation of the word that has been opened to us in this day, and the other great supper will be at the marriage supper of the Lamb in that other dimension in the air.
**In order to be at that great supper in the air, we must first become partakers of this great supper now because the one is the forerunner of the other – this great supper prepares you for that one that is to come.
REVELATION 19:9
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb
We know that not everyone is called – not everyone will hear the invitation to this marriage feast, so just too even be called, you are blessed – “Called” = Greek word “Kaleo” = To call in a loud voice… You cannot be called unless you first hear the voice of the one with the invitation.
REVELATION 3:20
“if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Notice -The supper comes after you hear the voice.
Like the two on the road to Emmaus, Christ did not make himself known to them by his bodily appearing, and neither is He making Himself known to us by his bodily appearing in this hour, but notice, he revealed himself to his elect by the breaking of the bread at supper time – by having supper with them, that is how he revealed himself to them.
LUKE 17:30
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
***What revealed the son of man to you in this hour, by the breaking of the bread - it is when he breaks open the mysteries of himself that have been hid from the foundation of the world, and feeds it to you in word form.
327-1 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
It will be these Divinely revealed 'mystery-truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. Exactly so.
*This is what is taken place right now in this evening time feast – “I will sup with you, and you with me”.
***So there is an evening time meal that we have been invited to by hearing the voice of the seventh angel, he is the messenger of this invitation to this supper time feast, and so when we open our hearts to this revelation, then the bread of life is broken, and the word is opened to you personally, and it reveals Christ to you.
Tampa Florida – Thursday 16th April 1964 (Brother Branham preached) AND WHEN THEIR EYES WERE OPENED THEY KNEW HIM
***There is a spiritual food in due season in this hour that has been stored up for the elect of this last age – and that food reveals the person of the word to you, it reveals Christ to you personally.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728 (Brother Branham is praying)
5 … just a while ago, when You showed the vision, the little tabernacle here, about to store up the Food, that there would come a time when this would all be needed. When we seen Brother Sothmann and Brother Woods ready to cross over into another country, to... But You said, "Store up this Food here for the time." Lord, reverently I've tried to do that.
Opening reading…
REVELATION 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
So we have been called in this hour by the invitation of the voice of a servant at supper time, and that is a great privilege and blessing – you are bless just to have heard the call of this voice in this hour. And so as believers of this message, we must realise the importance and the value of this invitation, it should become the supreme thing of all that we have in our lives – it is the pearl of great price that we are to sell out for.
***The marriage of the Lamb is the oneness and the invisible union that is taking place right now between Christ and his bride by this great feast of the word of Christ that we are feeding since the opening of the seven seals – it is the opened word that we are feeding on in this hour, in Revelation 10 it said that he had in his hand a little book opened – that is the book that we are to eat.
LUKE 14:16-20
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time (Notice - A servant (singular) at supper time, that’s evening time – this parable is showing us of a future ministry that God that would send in the last days to call the people to the marriage supper. This servant at supper time we know is the ministry of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7, and so the next part of the parable shows us the attitude of some of the people in this day that would hear the voice of invitation by this servant) And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. (The great supper in this hour is the ministry of the revealing of the son of man by the opening of the word through the message of the hour, Christ the word is the bread of life that came down from heaven in this last age (at evening time it shall be light – light is the revealing of the word of God - it is when the mystery of the word is made clear to you)
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Notice - three things that are very powerful to distract people from the invitation that God has made to us in this hour - Land, Business, and Wive’s or woman.
LUKE 14:24
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men (with these excuses - Land, Business, and Wive’s) which were bidden (these men heard the invitation by the voice of Malachi 4) shall taste of my supper. (No partaking of the supper equates to no revealing of Christ personally to them)
****What hinders some of us from receiving the deeper things of God in this hour is when we place other things of this temporal life at a higher value and of more importance than this great supper of the marriage of the Lamb that has come in this day.
MATTHEW 22:1-13
1 ¶ And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. (Notice – servants now and not servant - this is now the fivefold ministry speaking the same revelation of what the head ministry for the age had already declared)
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. (In other words – “The supper is ready right now, come and eat” – that is where we are living in right now)
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. (This is what too many do to the ministries of this message by their negative talk - the ministries themselves are not perfect, but it is the message that they proclaim, that is what is of great value)
7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. (Again, what disqualified them was that they esteemed their Land, Job, and Wives of greater value and importance above the great supper. Land, Business, and Wives are the blessings of natural life – but it was their attitude that placed these things of greater value then the values of the great evening time supper and marriage - that was the problem)
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: When you come to this evening time supper you are to be furnished with a wedding garment - that is why the revelation of this message is equipped to furnish you with the garment of the Holy Spirit which is the new birth. The garment in this hour is the revelation of Jesus Christ to you personally.
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! …He is the Word that was revealed to you.
***The first garment that you are to put on is the garment of the revelation of Jesus Christ the word on your soul; that is the garment that he is looking for in this hour - Then at the trump of God, your glorified body forms around that soul that is cloth with the revelation of the word.
***The first robe is on your soul, the second robe is the change of body – the two robes at evening time, the first robe is require before the second robe.
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither (into the message of the hour) not having a wedding garment? (In other words - You are in the message, you are at the wedding, but you do not yet have on the correct and required garment of the revelation of Jesus Christ) And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
This is the tribulation period – without the change of garment upon the soul by the revelation of the word of this hour, you cannot put on the new body and be a part of the wedding supper in the air – this robe makes a way for that robe of the glorified body and to be at that great supper time in the other dimension in the air.
The Two Great Suppers at the Evening Time
I THESSALONIANS 4:16-17
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. ***That is when we will gather there at the great supper in that other dimension as we have already gathered here at this great supper in this dimension. There is first a gathering here by the voice of the messenger before we are gathered together there – we who are gathered here will also be gathered there.
**Notice, four things – shout, voice, trump, supper.
THE.RAPTURE_ YUMA.AZ V-5 N-14 SATURDAY_ 65-1204
130 …A shout, what is the shout? It's the Message going forth, first, the living Bread of Life bringing forth the Bride.
131 Now, God has a way of doing things. And He never changes His policy. He never changes His po-... He's the unchanging God
THE.RAPTURE_ YUMA.AZ V-5 N-14 SATURDAY_ 65-1204
141 The first thing comes, when He starts descending from the Heaven, there's a shout. What is it? Is a Message, to get the people together (on this side first – we are gathered together on this side first before we are gathered together on that side).
THE.RAPTURE_ YUMA.AZ V-5 N-14 SATURDAY_ 65-1204
164 Therefore, the Message calls the Bride together, see, the shout.
And the trumpet...
The same One, He, with a loud voice, He screamed out with that shout and a voice, and woke Lazarus. With a loud voice He cried, "Lazarus, come forth." See? And the voice wakes up--wakes up the sleeping Bride, the sleeping dead.
165 And the trumpet, "with the sound of a trumpet." And, when it does, it calls. Always, a trumpet called Israel to the feast of the trumpets. See? Which, was a pentecostal Feast, the great Feast in the sky; and the feast of the trumpets. And, now, a trumpet denounced a calling together, "Come to the Feast." And now that is the--the Lamb's Supper in the sky.
Notice how brother Branham refers to the shout, voice, trump and supper, and then he links this with the story of Lazarus.
JOHN 11:25-29 (this is Jesus talking with Martha)
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. (What was that? - the message of His coming, that is the shout right there because the shout gathers the people together before the resurrection can take place)
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
***It was the message of that hour that caused Mary to come out of the condition that was holding her in a denominational condition, not “the Master is coming” message, but “the Master is come and calleth for thee” message. It is the message that “the Master is COME” that raises you up and gathers you for the resurrection.
JOHN 11:43-44
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. (The shout which is the message of the hour gathers the people, now this is the voice of the resurrection to awaken the sleeping saints)
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. (**Shout, Voice, Trump - A change of garment - a new body, why did Lazarus need a new body? - Because his old body was already in corruption)
JOHN 12:1-2
1 ¶ Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
We will also sit at the table with him.
Shout, Voice, Trump, then the Great Supper.
_______________
*The 3 parables of Luke 15 also show us in order the shout, voice, and trump, and the great supper.
LUKE 15:4 – is the SHOUT
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? Notice – a gathering of the lost sheep by the great shepherd of the sheep himself at his coming, he is seeking the last one to gather them to his fold, what is that, that is the shout of the message to gather the lost sheep of his elect together.
LUKE 15:8 – is the VOICE
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? Notice – a woman, a bride making herself ready for her husband.
The voice of the message that is in the bride is what makes her ready, because the same revelation that was in the messenger is now coming into the bride by the voice, and then she becomes the final voice to the final age.
LUKE 15:17-24 is the 3rd parable which is the TRUMP and the great SUPPER
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! (Notice that this event was taking place at a time when the world was in a great economic famine)
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe (what is the best robe, a change of garment, a type of the new body – the putting on of the glorified body - SHOUT, VOICE, TRUMP), and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
- The great supper time after the body change.
SHOUT, VOICE, TRUMP, and then the great SUPPER.
***To be a partaker of that great supper, we must first be a partaker of this great supper now of the revealing of the son of man – we must partake first of this one here in order to go to that one there.
At evening time – at supper time, it shall be light

269 … The Son of man is Christ; He is the One that you're feeding on. You're not feeding on a man; a man, his words will fail. But you're feeding on the unfailing Body-Word of the Son of man.
270 If you haven't fed fully on every Word, to give yourself strength to fly above all these denominations and things of the world, will you at this time do it, while we pray?
