The Revelation of the Rapture Pt.2
GENESIS 5:14-24
14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. (Notice, …and he died, and he died, and he died.
They all had a birthday and a death day fulfilling what God had said, “the day you eat of that tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that same day of within a 1000 year period you will die. But in this age we know that that tree of life that Adam had access to in Eden has come back again in the form of the revealed word – it’s that same tree in a different form, and if you once eat of this tree, then at the end of this age you will not have to die a physical death)
21 ¶ And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: (Enoch walked with God in agreement with the word for that day as God was unfolding the truth of the revelation of what had been sealed in the Zodiac in mystery form)
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 was a shadow of this age of a people that are walking with God in agreement as God is unfolding the truth of the revelation of what has been sealed in the written bible – and because of this we will also be taken by God without seeing physical death. That is thus saith the scriptures.
The Revelation of the Rapture Pt.2
We want to continue our Study of this message “The Rapture” preached by brother Branham in Yuma Arizona on the 4th of December 1965
*Last week we showed how that scoffers would arise challenging and denying the coming of the Lord in this hour - and that is not so much the people of the unbelieving world because they would hardly even know anything about the second coming of the Lord and a promised rapture, but much of the scoffing is from the religious world and even from within our associates of people who have fallen away or as the bible says, are willingly ignorant of the truth of this hour.
HEBREWS 11:4-6
4 ¶ By faith (Faith is simply a revelation of something that is made known to you of what was previously hidden, in other words, by a revelation of the word and will of God for the season and the time that you are living in) Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain (It was Abel’s revelation that it was a blood sacrifice of a lamb that was required by God for that hour because it had been a blood sin that caused the fall of man – it was that revelation that made all the difference. That is why doing religion without the true revelation of God for your day will result in your sacrifice and religious efforts being rejected by God just as Cain’s religion and works were rejected by God), by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
(His body was dead, but his spirit was still able to speak – just like the souls under the alter who are crying “how long”, their human bodies were in the grave, but their voice is still being heard by God. Abel’s revelation is still speaking to us today)
5 By faith Enoch (Again - by a revelation of something that was revealed to Enoch, he…) 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. (I was nearly going to call this message “Before His Translation He had this Testimony”. Before we are taken, we must also have this same testimony that Enoch had)
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

65 But, to the Church, the Bride, the Rapture is a revelation to Her. It's revealed to Her. That, the revelation, the true Bride of Christ will be waiting for that revelation of the Rapture.

117 And now that's the age that we're living in right now, the seventh church age. Now, it's all to be manifested in the grain of wheat at the end, another come back. Now, if you take Luke the 17th chapter and the 30th verse, He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man begins to reveal Himself." What is reveal? Make His revelation of what He is in this day. Reveal, out to the people, the Word that's made known for the day.
***So we know that Enoch must have caught the revelation of the word for his day or he could have never been raptured – so whatever was revealed to Enoch back then is the same thing that is also to be revealed to us today because Enoch was the shadow that this end time bride cast all the way back there, because in this age we are no shadow to anything.

106 Now, it's the seventh church age that takes the Rapture. All of the other six died. But Enoch was translated, because, "He was not found. God took him." But Enoch, raptured, was a type of all of the rest of them dying. But the--the end-time Bride will be called out of the... The rapturing, without death, will be called out of the seventh church age, which we are now bearing record of that age. Oh, my! Let's dig in now, real deep. See?
107 Now, here, also, a type of the seven church ages, which, in Revelation 10:7, that the great mystery of the Book was to be unfolded by the seventh angel's Message.
Notice that the revelation of the rapture is directly connected to the unfolding of the book by the seventh angel’s Message.
***So from last week we found out that in order for Enoch to write the second bible in the form of the pyramid on earth, he had to first have the bible of what was written in the stars unsealed and opened to him.
So also is the bride of this hour to have the written word of the written bible opened up to us by the seventh angel’s message in order for that word to change its form, not into a pyramid as with Enoch, but into the flesh of a people on earth.
***Remember that when Jesus came, he was what was written word that was in mystery form in the Old Testament become flesh in that hour in the form of Jesus of Nazareth. So the revelation of the word didn’t change, it just changed its form of manifestation from word to flesh.
***So when Enoch built the pyramid, it was the same word of the truth of redemption that was written in mystery form in the stars changing its form and expression from stars to pyramid – from something intangible to the tangible.

E-52 …Enoch built that--that pyramid or in his days. They can't figure it out.
Now, they got all kinds of religions on it, like they have on the zodiac. But everything in... God wrote three Bibles. The first one was in the heavens; the second one was in the pyramid; the third one's on the earth (referring to the written bible), and every one of them agree with one another.
***Three things that were unique about Enoch.
1- He walked with God by the agreement of his understanding of the word that was being opened to him and made known to him of the revelations contained in the Zodiac concerning God and the mysteries of redemption.
2- And because of this He pleased God, because without a revelation of the word current for your day, it is impossible to please God or to have true fellowship with God in the age that you live in.
3- And he had had fellowship with the first Adam.

91 …And the Body of Jesus Christ, the Bride, will be part of His Body. Which will... He was the Word, and the Bride will have to be the Word; Word added to Word, add to Word. Luther's justification, Wesley's sanctification, Pentecostal’s baptism of the Holy Spirit, restoration of the gifts, and all the rest of It, goes with It. See? It's got to be Word on top of Word, germ on top of germ, Life on top of Life, to bring out the full statue of the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, remember, you was an attribute.
92 And now, the thing of it is, after we find out these things, that Christ is Coming for His Bride, now how do we get into that Bride? That's the question.
Many say, "Join our congregation." One of them wants a certain type of baptism. One wants to do this or that. One said, "You must speak with tongues, or you haven't got It." The other one said, "You don't have to speak with tongues." This one says, "You must dance in the spirit." This says, "You must shout." This, "Got a sensation." It's all all right, and then, still, it's all wrong.
How could a man that's... or a woman, or a child of God, that's born of the Spirit of God, deny the Word of God? When, God Himself interpret It and say, "This is It. I promised It. Here It is," showing It just as plain as It can. Why, they're bound to see It. See? How could Christ deny His Own Word? And if Christ is in you, It can't deny His Own Word.
***Notice what he is saying - When the word was revealed to Enoch for his day, he couldn’t deny it – that is the real secret to it. “My sheep hear my word for their day” said Jesus. Remember that he is answering this question of how do we get into that Bride, and then he gives us a clear answer - you get into the Bride by receiving the word of the message of God for this hour just as Enoch did.

106 Now, it's the seventh church age that takes the Rapture. All of the other six died. But Enoch was translated, because, "He was not found. God took him."

107 Now, here, also, a type of the seven church ages, which, in Revelation 10:7, that the great mystery of the Book was to be unfolded by the seventh angel's Message.
The bible has been opened to this end time bride by the seventh’s angels Message just as the mystery of the Zodiac had been opened and made known to Enoch.
***So notice what takes place at these raptures of the Bible of what brother Branham is showing us in this message of the rapture.
- In Enoch’s time at the end of the Antediluvian age - we see that the word of God change its form from the Zodiac to the Pyramid – from word to flesh, from the mystery word written in the stars to become flesh on earth in the form of the pyramid. That was in Genesis at the beginning of the Bible.
- Then in the middle of the bible and at the end of the Old Testament – Jesus was all of that Old Testament revelation of the word changing its form from word to flesh again.
- Then at the end of the bible and at the end of the Gentile dispensation, we see that the entire mystery of God is opened to an end time people who are predestinated to receive that mystery of the word – and then that word changes its form from word to flesh again in this age in the form of the Bride of Christ.

85 Now, so were you in, if you've got Eternal Life, you were a... in God before there ever was a world. You are a part, a son of God, an attribute of God. He knowed the very age you were coming. He predestinated you to that age, to take that place, and no one else can take it; care how many impersonations and things. You've got to be there, because He knew you would be there. Now you are made manifest. Now you can fellowship with Him, and that's what He wants. He's longing for fellowship, to be worshipped.
***Christ and his end time bride are joined together in this age thus making up the completed pyramid.
That was the revelation that Enoch had. Enoch had left the capstone off of his pyramid because that was not the age of the marriage of the Lamb, but our pyramid of this age has the capstone on and the pyramid of Christ and his bride has been completed in this age.
***The revelation that Enoch had that caused him to be translated is the same revelation that we have and are a part of in this hour, it is by our possession of this revelation that we are able to please God. Without revelation, it is impossible to please God.
So this will be our testimony before we are translated, is that we are in possession of this same understanding of redemption that Enoch held in his heart. It was that revelation that caused him to walk with God and please God so that he was translated and God took him.
*So we can be absolutely certain that if God took Enoch, then he will take us also – that is the revelation of the rapture – it is when the word of this age is revealed to you.
The Shout is the message of Malachi 4
The Voice is the same message at a more advanced stage and maturity, it is the voice of the resurrection of this message that has called our names in this hour and has also revealed the names of the bride through seven church ages to be resurrected as a part of the first resurrection – in the days of the voice…
And the Trump gathers us all to meet the Lord in the air. He does all three as he descends…
