A Study in “Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed”
LUKE 24:13-27
13 ¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. (Sometimes our eyes can still be closed as to who it is that has been walking along with us in this hour also)
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: (Jesus had told them clearly that this was going to happen to Him, but when it happened, they somehow couldn’t grasp it because they hadn’t really believed it)
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
REVELATION 10:7
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.
A Study in “Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed”
God has been one of the greatest mysteries that there is.
If you are looking for the coming of the Lord to be a man with nail scared hands in this age then you will miss his second coming completely.
Christ IS the MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED.
We know by this verse in Revelation 10:7 that the “Mystery of God” was this seventh’s angel’s ministry, because the first and second pull healing ministry only attracted the attention of the people, because people are attracted to stage performances, but it would be the revealing and the finishing of the “Mystery of God” that was the real work and purpose that God sent this seventh angel into the world to accomplish.

…Then he reveals those things in his day. If you want to read it, there it is: A Revelations 10:1 to--1 to about 4. You'll get it. All right. See?
127-3 {68} Takes the Book and... of Seals and breaks them and shows the seventh angel, for this alone, the mysteries of God, is the ministry of the seventh angel.
****God’s great goal and purpose from the beginning was to be expressed and for that expression to be comprehended and to be fully appreciated by an end time people. God held back that full mystery and revelation of Himself of what His purpose was that was in the back part of his mind until the end time age to then reveal the full mystery of the whole secret of His thoughts to an end time people called his bride – this is the age when the full thoughts of God are being connected to a bride body.
***The understanding of this fully revealed plan and mind of God (that had been expressing itself down through the bible until this last age) was a hidden mystery kept secret for a specific group of people of who He would chose to reveal these things to in the last age.
**So as the recipients of this message of the seventh angel, God has anointed us with a special anointing of the “flying eagle” where we have been given the ability by the anointing of this age to fly higher into the realms of revelation far more than any other age.
*Remember that immediately after the 7 church ages, John was told to come up higher into an age within the Laodicean age (called the “Bride Age”) of a realm of where he would come to understand things that could never be understood by a Lion, Ox, or a Man Age anointing.
**This is why the ministries of this message are called to preach from an eagle age anointing and not from a Lion, Ox, or a Man Age anointing, because none of those other anointings will produce faith enough for a rapture.
___________
**So we have been studying through this message called “Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed” over the last few Wednesday night services. And I thought it would be good for us to talk a little more about this message and try to make it clearer to us by the help of the Lord.
*This message of “Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed” was preached 28th July 1963 just over four months after he preach the Revelation of the Seven seals in March 1963.
**So I want to show you the connection and the continuity between these two messages of “Seventh Seal” message and this message of “Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed” and how they are linked together.

574-1 {377} Will be a good thing that he doesn't know anything about it (he is referring to Satan), because if he did, then he would impersonate that. That's his tricks in doing things. So therefore, God has made it so hid to the whole world, even to heaven, that there is no way of understanding it, only as God will reveal it Himself.
So the second coming event of Christ would be such a great secret and a great mystery, that it would only be revealed as God will reveal it Himself – and so Brother Braham stops there in this quote and doesn’t elaborate any more about it, but when he gets to this message “Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed”, you will see how that Brother Branham picks up where he leaves off from the Seventh Seal and carries on this same thought because God is now walking and talking like when he walk and talked with the two on the road to Emmaus – he is letting the mystery of it out little by little – a bit here in in Christ the Mystery, a bit more in The Invisible union of the Bride to Christ, a bit more in The Mighty God Unveiled before us – on and on.
*And so when He gets to Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed, He begins to open to us the secret of the entire bible of what was in the back part of God’s mind way before there was anything created, and so this is the third pull of Brother Branham’s ministry coming into effect because that is what was promised in Revelation 10:7, and so that is what this message is, it is Christ Himself through this seventh angel’s ministry opening up the entire mystery of the bible to us in this day as we walk with him along the way, and that was the secret of the coming of the Lord to these two on the road to Emmaus – It was Christ that came to them, but their eyes were withheld from knowing that it was He who had come and was walking along with them, but the evidence was that the word of the entire bible was being opened to them, and that’s the same evidence for us in this hour of who is walking with us also – so right here is the seventh seal mystery of His coming revealed in the story of the two on the road to Emmaus – a 6 hour walk of 6 seals being opened and then the 7th seal was Himself being revealed.
*And this is why Brother Branham places this portion of scripture of the two on the road to Emmaus right at the beginning of this message of Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed, because it is also to be repeated at Christ’s second coming after the denominations of this day had crucified Him again, because the secret of the second coming of the Lord was one of the mysteries that would be made known to the elect of this last age of how He would come.
Let’s get that first quote in the seventh seal message again and see how he picks up and continues on with this in Christ is the Mystery.

Now four months latter…

106 …..See, God has this all to Himself. It's a secret. And that's the reason there was silence in Heaven for a space of a half hour, and seven thunders utter their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it, see, the Coming of the Lord. That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come. It's a good thing that He doesn't. No. (Notice that he is saying the same thing he said back in the seventh seal in that he was told not to explain it like he did with the first two pulls because the Devil would try to impersonate it and bring confusion, but that the Elect would come to understand it of how Christ would come in this age – but then he continues)
107 He has showed or revealed it in every type that's in the Bible. Therefore, the entire Bible is the revelation of God's mystery in Christ.
**So he is telling us that the coming of the Lord in this day has been shown or revealed in every type that’s in the bible.
*How Boaz came to Ruth in the field is how Christ has come to us in this day,
*How Rebekah met Eleazar by the well at evening time, and also meet Isaac at evening time is how Christ has met with us in this evening time.
*How God come down in human flesh and reveal Himself to Abraham and Sarah just before the destruction of Sodom is how God has come down in this day and revealed himself to us in human flesh just before the destruction of Sodom in this day.
*How Esther comes into union with the King and then came into full realisation of her position is how we are also coming into full realization of our position in this day.

107 He has showed or revealed it in every type that's in the Bible. Therefore, the entire Bible is the revelation of God's mystery in Christ.
***All of these types are showing us of how his coming will be in this day – and when we see that, then we begin to recognise that the shape of our lives match the other half of the Chinese laundry ticket, showing that we are manifesting this part of this great end time bride body because our lives as individuals are the fulfilment of all these things written of in the entire bible.
So you are watching your own life and seeing that God has been writing the same story in your life’s journey.
***In all these stories of the Bible of all the lives of the believers, God was writing the mystery of a future people that were to come at the harvest time, and so these stories held the secret of the names of the elect in this end time age because the names of the elect were secretly written in those stories in mystery form from Genesis to Revelation – so the whole mystery and secret of the entire bible was the revelation of Christ and his elected people, and it was that secret that was sealed up until this end time age of when this seventh angel would come and make these things known.
**So when that seven sealed book is opened and the mystery is made known to an end time people, then we see our names written all over the Bible in all the shadows and types (like the seven mountain peaks that Brother Branham’s name was written all over, but God had to explain that to him), and that was what the seven thunders contained, it contained the mystery of your name written in and all over the bible, and that is what gives you faith for the rapture, when you see your name written in the book.

42 …This Word tells it here, and He's hid it. And these mysteries has been hid now, remember, the Bible said, "Since the foundation of the world, waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God," to display them to the church. Oh, my. You get it?
The sons of God in this end time hour are to display the hidden mysteries of God to the people – to teach and preach them to the people, this is what the third pull ministry is all about – the opening of the word..
ADOPTION.3_ JEFF.IN AD.3 SUNDAY_ 60-0522M
215 …"Father Son, and Holy Ghost" is a false, bogus Catholic dogma, and not a Christian baptism. That's right. Luther brought it from the Catholic church with catechism; Wesley adopted and come on. But this is the day of the manifestation of the sons of God, when the mysteries that been hid since the foundation of the world is to be made known. This is the hour.

303 God had to open up those Seven Seals, not in a denomination. I've always been against it. But, out of denomination, He might take a Bride, not a denominational bride. He couldn't do it. It's against His Own Word. He opened those seven mysteries in there. That shows forth, brings forth those things that's been hid since the foundation of the world, might be revealed in the last days, to sons of God.

142-1 {166} But think, now he wrote this, but when he started to write those other seven thunders, he said, "Don't write it." He'd been commissioned to write everything he seen. But when these seven thunders over in Revelations 10 uttered, he said, "Don't write them at all." They're mysteries. We don't know what they are yet; but my opinion they'll be revealed right away. And when it do, it'll give faith for that rapturing grace for that Church to move out.
**These secret things that were hidden in the word and sealed by seven seals, when they are revealed in this end time age, and are comprehended by an end time people of the sons of God, then that is the consummation and is what will give faith for the rapture to take place, and so that is what is going on right now.

The--the Bride hasn't had a revival yet. See? There's been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet. See? We're looking for it. It will take those seven unknown thunders back there to wake her up again. He will send it. He promised it.
***Remember that the entire Bible was written for this age.
- We are living in the days of Noah again. (As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the Son of Man is revealed)
- We are living in the days of Sodom again.
- We are living in the time of the Exodus again under an Exodus prophet.
- We are living in the days of Ahab and Jezebel and Elijah again.
- We are living in the time of Abraham and Sarah again when God appeared in the form of human flesh and turn his back to the tent and revealed the secrets of Sarah’s heart and Abraham and Sarah were turned back young again to meet the promised son Isaac.
- We’re living in the time when Eliezer has been sent out to get a bride for Isaac
- We are living in the time when Ruth the Gentile is coming into union with Boaz at harvest time and Elimelech’s inheritance is about to be restored back.
- We are living in the time when Jacob had to wait 7 church ages for Rachel.
- We are living in the time when Rahab is applying the Token at the time of judgement and pending destruction.
- We are living in the time of Deborah, a married woman who was under a prophetic anointing and was also a Judge, and she was under the palm tree – a type of the tree of life.
- We are living in the time of Gideon when the 3 powers are gathering and the descending angel has appeared to Gideon to reveal who he really is and build up his faith.
- We are living in the time when Sampson’s 7 locks of hair (revelation) is growing back after the eyes went off the scene and the strength is to return to the body one last time.
- We are living in the time of Esther when Vashti (the Pentecostal Laodicean church) has been dismissed from the presence of the King and a new bride has been chosen.
- We are living in the time when Joseph is about to dismiss his gentile wife to the palace and reveal himself to his brethren.
- We are living in the hour when Abigail’s rich and selfish husband Nabal dies (a type of this Laodicean age, Nabal = "fool") and Abigail is joined with King David in marriage – a type of Christ.
On and on and on we could go, because the entire Bible was written for this harvest time hour.
***That is what the seven seals had sealed up until this time – this was the hidden manna, the bread of life that has been broken to us in this day.
To be continued - the Lord willing.
