1 "Every Scribe which is instructed unto the Kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old" - Matthew 13:52 June 2007 THE THIRD PULL This message was preached by Brother Amos on Sunday, 24th June, 2007, at Bible Faith Tabernacle, Lagos. May God help us as we walk along this way. It is just a few more days to labour and to wait for the coming of the Lord. But all God demands of you and I is faithfulness. May God help us to be faithful to the truth of the Scriptures, not to pick and choose, but to follow Jesus in all of his light. And that is what makes the difference. Because whoever picks and chooses, is nothing but an unbeliever, and a hypocrite. It is better for a man not to have known this way, than after having known it, t o t u r n a w a y f r o m t h e commandment, the holy commandment given. I say that to tell you: You cannot pick and choose. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to follow him in all of his revelation, as he is giving it. And he gives it a revelation at a time. And that is the truth. If you believe in the Ephesian ministry, please believe in the Ephesian ministry. I say that because there is not one woman inside that ministry, for any pastor to have a prophetess in his assembly! You did not hear me. There is not one woman in that Ephesian ministry, for anybody, or for any church, to have a prophetess! There is no prophetess in the New Testament church! And there is no prophetess in the five fold ministry! The five fold ministry is strictly made up of apostles, prophets (male), evangelists, pastors and teachers, and there is not one Ref. No.:

2 Page 2 June 2007 woman preacher in all the folds! But today, we are seeing prophetesses in the message movement broken systems. What a shame! Please note, we can only have sisters with gifts of prophecy, but we cannot have any sister holding a prophetic office. We cannot! It is anti-word! It is heresy! She would only be usurping authority! That would amount to turning back the hand of the clock, and to leading p e o p l e b a c k i n t o denominational bondage, from which the bride have b e e n d e l i v e r e d. Preachers have really turned this message into something else! I want to greet our brothers visiting here for the first time. It is nice to have you, and may the Lord bless you all. I can see a few faces that are not familiar, but God knows all about you. I did not realize until recently, that I had not taken the Third Pull as a message on its own. I thought I had, having dealt with it in various messages in the last two years. So we went through the list of messages I had taken, to get a message on the Third Pull itself, but with no success. And I feel the need to bring out the Third Pull in the Scribe now, before other messages can follow, because the understanding of certain o t h e r t r u t h s, a r e c o n t i n g e n t u p o n a n understanding of the Third Pull. And if people cannot see the Third Pull, then it would be a little difficult for them to see certain other things, because of what it entails and projects. So, we need to go into the Third Pull again this morning. And I pray that God would help me, because the fact that we have taken it over and over, in various messages, the tendency is to overlook little material details, that God's people out there will need, to help them look at the Third Pull, in the right way. So, just pray for me this morning, and I pray that God would help me to touch it in its entirety, so that we can have it as a complete message on its own, once and for all, and put it out there in the Scribe, because it is now due for the Scribe. That is why we have to take it again this morning. We are not doing it for our sakes, but for the sakes of God's people out there. Let us just bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed). We will take a message which we title this morning, The Third Pull. Before I take my text on the Third Pull, I would like to say this: The Third Pull as a terminology, is peculiar to the ministry of Brother Branham. You are not going to open the Bible anywhere, and see the Third Pull written therein, for the Third Pull as a language, as a terminology, is peculiar to the ministry of William Branham. But the Third Pull in its application, is not limited to his ministry. We are going to see all that this morning, God helping us. (There is a blast of music from the Pentecostal church sharing a common wall with BFT church). There is nothing disturbing as wanting to get into a serious message, and all you hear is the blaring of songs from the adjacent church. It drowns our voices and it throws you off. May God help me this morning. The ways of God has always been very humble, and very simple. Moreover, the move of God has always been born in adverse conditions. It has never been easy for God's people. All the letters I get f r o m t h e v a r i o u s m i n i s t e r i n g b r o t h e r s around the world, a people following continuity, are all the same, for they are in the same condition: They are poor, and things are

3 June 2007 hard. But they love the truth, they love the Lord, and they are just following the light, and that is what matters. We will take 1 Corinthians chapter 2, but because of time, we will read just two verses. Verse 6: Howbeit we speak wisdom... When Paul says we speak wisdom, he is talking about the wisdom of Christ. He is talking of the revelation of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 1:30, we are told that Christ has been made unto us, wisdom: But of him... (That means, but of God) are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us... (What?) wisdom, and righteousness, and s a n c t i f i c a t i o n, a n d r e d e m p t i o n : T h a t, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Why is he to glory in the Lord? Because Jesus Christ is our wisdom; he is our righteousness; he is our redemption; he is our sanctification; he is our hope; he is our life; he is our salvation; he is our joy; he is our peace; he is everything to us. So when Paul says in 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verse 6, We speak the wisdom of God, he is talking of the revelation of Jesus Christ which we have received. We take it again: Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect. (Among them that are mature. Mature minds, spiritual minds that can handle it) Yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, (It is secret, it is hidden wisdom) which God ordained before the world unto our glory. But it is hidden! It is a mystery! A mystery that has been hidden in God, but God is revealing it by His apostolic ministry. Saints of God, when we go to Romans chapter 1, Paul said from verse 16: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation, to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein (In that gospel) is the righteousness of God revealed (How?) FROM FAITH TO FAITH: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. But I ask: How does that faith come? It comes from faith to faith. In other words, it is from revelation, to revelation, to revelation, until brothers, we come into the full s t a t u r e, o r t h e f u l l revelatory image of Jesus. Are you with me? So, that Page 3 dealership of the Spirit of God, in the light of the truth of Jesus Christ, does not stop. Because we do not have it in one day! Because it is not given in one day! That is why Paul said, That r e v e l a t i o n, t h a t righteousness, which is revealed in the gospel, is from faith to faith. What does that mean? It is to show us, it is not something that comes in one day, or in one year. And neither is it something you can stop. No! Because, brothers and sisters, as long as we are here in this body of flesh, we still know in part. As long as we are in this flesh, we know in part. So the revelational dealing of God in our lives can only increase, and continue on. That is why Proverbs 4:18 says, But the path of the just (the path of the righteous), is like what? A shining light (a bright light!); It shineth more and more, brighter and brighter, not for ten years, not for twenty years, but, unto that perfect day. That is the resurrection morning! So that lets you know, Until Christ comes to call us home, we can only grow in revelation. But remember what we read in 1 Corinthians chapter 2, of what Paul said: We speak the wisdom of God IN A

4 Page 4 MYSTERY, even the HIDDEN WISDOM that God has ORDAINED FOR OUR GLORY. So there are certain things that are buried in the pages of the Bible, that are for the e d i f i c a t i o n a n d t h e glorification of the true elect bride of Christ. Therefore, there are some things the religious world in general, can understand from the Bible, and there are some things the movement, those who believe in Elijah Only, can also understand from the Bible; but there are certain other things buried in the same Bible, that only the elect bride of Christ will understand. Because God raised the stakes higher, to bring a difference between bride and non-bride! Look at the message we are taking this morning, The Third Pull. It is a mystery! Yet, you cannot go in the Bible and say, Well, bring out the Third Pull, Brother Amos. Where do you have the Third Pull in the Scriptures? It is not there! But have you forgotten what Jesus said in John chapter 16, verses 12-15: I have yet many things to say... Many, not few. But ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He (the Comforter) the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth. That is how the Epistles were written, because they were dealt with by the Spirit of God. But someone might say, Brother Amos, since the epistles have been written, you cannot add to it. But you must also realize there are certain portions of the New Testament Scriptures that we do not yet understand, because the revelation has not been given. So when the revelation of it begins to unfold, brothers, the angel of the Lord, or the Spirit of the Lord, will inspire ministers to use certain words or terminologies, with which to convey a revelation. And that is why this morning, if you are not following a true revelation, you cannot understand the language of the bride. You cannot! And her language can only grow, as she grows in revelation. It is just like talking to denominational people, and you start talking about the eagle anointing, or about the grey horse rider; or of the original sin; or of the serpent seed etc. You will lose them, for they will not understand you! But when you start talking of the fan, or of the two laws of Eden, or of the plot, or of the three scribes, if you are not following the continuity of revelation, although you may be in the movement, you cannot understand. No! No! No! June 2007 We would have to break everything down for them, in order for them to understand the truths concealed in those words or phrases. You would have to take it to the Scriptures to bring out the revelation carried by those words. But if you say Eagle Age, we immediately understand what it means. We know it refers to the Seventh Church Age. It is just like if we say, Wheresoever. Everybody in the continuity light following knows what it means. You know we are talking of the location where the carcase is being served. So, it is a language. If you are not following a revelation, you cannot understand the language of the bride. That is the truth! That is what I am trying to prove! You must be following a revelation to understand the language of the bride. People who are not following the continuity of revelation will be limited in their understanding of the language of the bride, even though they are in the movement. I said there will b e a l i m i t t o t h e i r understanding of the language of the bride, even though they are in the Branham movement. You have to be following continuity, for you to have your language upgraded, as God is adding more

5 June 2007 revelatory words or diction, to the language of the bride. Because a year ago, we did not understand the Wheresoever text, to the extent we now do. We knew the carcase is divine revelation, the fresh kill of t h e W o r d. B u t Wheresoever, was a word that God had not yet shed His light on, and is the keyword that unlocks the revelation of Matthew 24:28. So Wheresoever is now part of our language. And the language of the bride is very different, being strictly revelatory. That is why Paul said, We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. Why did he say t h a t? B e c a u s e t h a t revelation, when it is being expressed, is carried or expressed in a mysterious way. And if you are not following a revelation, you cannot understand it. Why? Because it takes a person following the bride in her revelation, to understand the language of the bride! Because the language of the bride is mysterious, being revelatory (being spiritual), and is radically different from the language of a person who is merely r e l i g i o u s, o r o f a denominational person. In t h o s e w o r d s a n d phraseologies, are buried deep Scriptural truths. It is like going out there in the religious world, and asking them: Do you not know the Third Pull? They do not even know the First Pull, not to talk of the third! Are you with me? You would be like a person speaking Greek to a Zulu man of South Africa! Y e t y o u w o u l d b e expressing the truth. But the truth is carried in the language of the bride, because we are speaking the truth in a mystery! That is what I am trying to prove to you this morning, that it takes a people that are following the revelation of the bride, in the continuity light of Jesus Christ, to have a true understanding of the bride language, because the language of the bride is mysterious. Paul said, We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. And one of those mysteries is the Third Pull. And that is why Jesus said, Howbeit, when the Comforter, the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth, because brothers and sisters, there are things that are ordained for this day in the light of the Word of God, that God is opening up. And as God is opening them up, the language of the bride is being increased. As new truths are coming, it is giving us new light, new revelation, and therefore, there are words and phrases that God uses, to convey such Page 5 revelation to us. So our language is increasing. Our s p i r i t u a l d i c t i o n i s increasing. Are you with me? I say all this to lay a necessary background for my message, because we are speaking about the Third Pull. Remember, I started by saying that the Third Pull as a terminology, is peculiar to the ministry of William Branham, but that the Third Pull in its application, is not limited to the ministry of Brother Branham. As such, I am saying that the Third Pull started with him, but it does not end with him. Now let us consider the Third Pull in detail. In year 1963, something phenomenal happened; something very important. It is a very important year for the bride of Christ, b e c a u s e o f t h e supernatural dealing of the Spirit of God the bride received, and the depth of the revelation that flowed as a result, and the prophetic significance of that year. We will come to it. But prior to 1963, the m i n i s t r y o f B r o t h e r Branham had Two Pulls. The pulls were not even his own language. It was the coinage of the angel of the Lord, which was expressed to him, to convey the revelation of his ministry.

6 Page 6 By this he was made to u n d e r s t a n d t h a t h i s ministry was to have three pulls, and his ministry had three pulls. What are the pulls? The three pulls are nothing other than the three consecutive phases of his ministry: Phase one, Phase two, and Phase three. But remember, as he went further in his ministry, he climbed higher, for each subsequent phase, lifted him higher, for it was an a d v a n c e m e n t o f h i s ministry. The First Pull was nothing other than a sign pull: Healing. He was sent with a gift, for God sent him to carry the gift of healing to the whole world, thereby spearheading the healing and deliverance movement that broke out around the world, after the World War 2 years, when God raised up healing evangelists, to torch the globe. Church, that healing gift was operated by a sign in his hand. He would take people by the hand, and the hand would swell, forming patterns. And by it, he knew what ailment or demon it was, and if the swelling went down, the person was healed or delivered, and he could therefore pronounce the person healed. He would say, Thus saith the Lord, You are healed. It was a sign. That was the First Pull. It was the gift of healing. The Second Pull came later. It was also a s i g n g i f t. I t w a s discernment, knowing the thoughts in the heart of men. And that is what people are impersonating today, and they are crashing with it. Brother Branham could look at you, without your having to speak a word, and he could tell your name, where you came from, and the purpose of your coming to the meeting. This he expressed with humility. He did not do it for show! He did not carry on, trying to i m p r e s s p e o p l e! H e exercised the gifts with total humility, and with simplicity. He did not throw the anointing, as preachers are doing today, telling people: Catch it! Catch it! Catch it! They throw demonic power upon the congregation, and the people fall, tumbling over their chairs. It is demonic! I saw that yesterday on the television, in a ministry that is purportedly following the message. Incredible! I have to say, a lot is happening in this message, a lot is happening! May God have mercy on these p e o p l e. C h u r c h, t h e S e c o n d P u l l w a s discernment, knowing the thoughts of the heart of men. Brother Branham would say, under the June 2007 operation of the gift of discernment: Sister, you are not from here... You are from Germany... You are not even here for yourself... You have a brother... He had a car crash... This and this is his condition... This and this is his name... This is his telephone number... Thus saith the Lord, He is healed. You would see people fainting and crying, for the depth of the discernment, as the Spirit of the Lord revealed the secret of their hearts. And church, that was the Second Pull. But the Third Pull was the climax. It was greater than the first two pulls. It took the prophet's ministry to its highest level. You cannot go higher! You did not hear me. You cannot go higher than the Third Pull! It is divine revelation! That is why the prophet declared at the very beginning of his message on the Seventh Seal, in the evening of 24th March, 1963: I'd like to add this, that, OF ALL THE SERVICES I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE, I BELIEVE THIS WEEK HAS BEEN THE MOST GLORIOUS TIME OF ALL MY LIFE IN SERVICES. No matter what I have... I've seen GR-E-A-T MIRACLES performed, of course, before and HEALING SERVICES (In

7 June 2007 others words, he has also s e e n g r e a t h e a l i n g services), BUT THIS IS B-E-Y-O-N-D THAT. Did you hear that? The Third Pull is beyond miracles and h e a l i n g, h o w e v e r spectacular! Why? It is divine revelation! That is how the anointing of the flying eagle we have received at this end time, is expressed! Look at what he also said in comparing the representation of the Three Pulls, on page 565 (510), paragraph 4 (309):...First bunch of LITTLE BIRDS, feathers all beat down. Do you remember them? A n d t h e y a l l f l e w e a s t w a r d. T h a t represents the First Pull. And the second bunch were brighter, BIGGER BIRDS - looked like doves, pointed wings - they flew eastward. That represents the Second P u l l. T h e p r o p h e t confirmed it, when he a d d e d : F i r s t P u l l, Second Pull. But what of t h e T h i r d P u l l? H e declared: THEN THE NEXT WAS ANGELS! The Third Pull was Angels! That gives us nothing but divine revelation! Nothing beats it, for it gives us access to the deep things of God, giving us the revelation of life, the revelation of Christ, which sets the bride apart, from every other group or body, in the entire religious world. The First Pull: Little birds. The Second Pull: Bigger birds. But the Third Pull was Angels! So the Third Pull was the peak of his ministry, its climax, and that is what we want to see this morning: The Third Pull; not the first two pulls, but the third. And that Third Pull started exactly in 1963, a year when the door to supernatural revelation, divine revelation, was opened up to the bride of Christ. We have to realize, that 1963 is a very important year, in the calendar of the bride, because when we take a look at the Book of Revelation, the heavenly setting (the heavenly events), we see in chapters 4, 5 and 6, are relative to that year! Because that was the year the heavenly prophetic picture pointed to! It was the year Jesus Christ our Lord, broke the first six Seals, on the scroll of Redemption, which he held in his hand, by virtue of his meritship, that is, by virtue of being our Kinsman Redeemer, the one who paid the price for our redemption, even as it is written: After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was Page 7 as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. (Rev. 4:1-2). And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written w i t h i n a n d o n t h e backside, sealed with Seven Seals... (Rev. 5:1-7. That book is actually a s c r o l l, t h e s c r o l l o f Redemption, sealed with Seven Seals). And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse... And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red... And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse... And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse... And when he had opened the fifth

8 Page 8 seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God... And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the m o o n b e c a m e a s blood... (Rev. 6). This heavenly prophetic setting, of the breaking of the first six Seals, point you straight to the year 1963! And it is under the activation of the T h i r d P u l l, t h a t t h e revelation of the first six S e a l s o f R e v e l a t i o n chapter 6, was given to the bride, through the prophet. That makes the Third Pull, a very important subject for the bride of Christ of this end time. We will now consider how God dealt with the prophet on it. When Brother Branham was preaching on the Seven Seals on the 24th of March, 1963, on the last line of page 561 (507, paragraph 284), he stated: In Sabino Canyon, sitting up there that morning, I had my hands up, and the wind had blowed my old black hat down. I was standing there with my hands up, praying. I said, Lord God, what does this mean? I can't understand it, Lord. What am I to do? If it's my going Home time, let me go up here where they'll never find me. I don't want nobody to be mourning around if I'm going. I want just the family to think that I just took a walk, and they won't find me. Hide me away somewhere! If I'm going to go away, why, just let me go. Maybe Joseph will find my Bible laying here someday, and let him use It. See? If I'm going away, let me go, Lord. Why was the prophet praying like this? Because of the spiritual e x p e r i e n c e, t h e supernatural encounter he had! He did not know how to place it! He thought it was probably the end of his ministry. He thought it was probably the end of his life, but no, it was not. It was only the beginning of the Third Pull! Because God was going to lift him higher in his personal experience and walk with the Lord, and in the revelatory dealing of the Spirit of God. Only as at yet, he did not understand it. So, he began to query and question, thinking maybe his time of going home was here. And I had my hands out, and all at once something hit my hand. I don't know. I can't say. Did I go to sleep? - I don't know. Did I go into a trance? - I don't know. June 2007 Was it a vision? - I can't tell you. The only thing I can say is from what I... Just the same thing like them Angels was. AND IT STRUCK MY HAND, AND I LOOKED AND IT WAS A SWORD, AND IT HAD PEARL HANDLES - REAL PRETTY; AND HAD A GUARD OVER IT WITH GOLD, and the blade looked like, something like a chrome, like silver, only it was real shiny. A n d i t w a s s o featheredged sharp, oh my! And I thought, Isn't that the prettiest thing?! - just fit my hand. I thought, That's awful pretty. But I said, Hey, I'm always afraid of them things, - a sword. And I thought, What will I do with that? And just then A VOICE SHOOK DOWN THROUGH THERE THAT ROCKED THE ROCKS! SAID, IT'S THE SWORD OF THE KING! And then I came out of it. (The Sword of the King). Now, if they'd said, A Sword of a King, but it said, The Sword of the King, and there's only one the King, and that's God! And He has one Sword, - that's His Word - what I live by! (Halleluyah!) So help me, God... bring on His holy vesture with this Holy Word laying here. It's the Word. Amen! Oh,

9 June 2007 what a day we're living in - What a great thing. See the mystery and secret? The Third... Standing there, when this left me, something just came to me and said, Don't fear. Now, I didn't hear no voice - like on the inside of me spoke. I just tell you the truth, just exactly w h a t h a p p e n e d. Something hit and said, DON'T FEAR. THIS IS THAT THIRD PULL. Did you hear that? This is that Third Pull! It is God's way of preparing His prophet to enter into the third and final phase of his ministry. Saints of God, the angel of the Lord dealt with him in a supernatural way. He thought it was the end of his life, but it wasn't. Because of the way the experience came, it shook the prophet. While still in Sabino Canyon, praying and seeking the face of God, something hit his hand. When he opened his eyes to look at it, it was a sword, sharp, glittering. It was a double-edged sword, with a golden handle. It fit his hand perfectly, like a sword made just for him. Wow! Yet, he was still in a vision. As he considered the sword in his hand, thinking, What is this?, he heard a voice that shook the mountain! That is the voice of God. That is that deep, baritone voice of God, saying, This is the Sword of the King. He realized, Wow, this is God's Sword! It is the Word of God, because Hebrews chapter 4 verse 12 tells us: The Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged Sword. Is that right? Yes! The prophet said the Sword is what he lives by: The Word of God! For the Word of God is the Sword of the King! It is God's Word! S a i n t s, a s h e w a s considering all these things, Brother Branham heard a voice speak to him, saying categorically, and unambiguously: Don't fear. This is that Third P u l l. S o y o u m u s t understand, and I do not care what other quotes you h a v e, y o u m u s t understand, without any shadow of doubt, that the Third Pull, brothers and sisters, has to do with the Word. The Third Pull has to do with the Word, for it is the divine unveiling of the Word, the revealing of the Scriptures. Because the Third Pull is giving you nothing but supernatural revelation! Come with me to the next paragraph on page 562 (508), as the p r o p h e t c o n t i n u e d. Paragraph 6 (290): The T h i r d P u l l - y o u remember it? He said, Page 9 You've had so many impersonators on this, w h a t y o u t r i e d t o explain. Said, Don't even try this. Do you remember it? How many remembers that vision? Why, it's all over the tapes and everywhere. That's been about six years ago... seven years ago. It's been seven years ago. Said, Don't try to explain that. Said, This is the Third Pull, but I'll meet you in there. Is that right? He said, Don't try... Hold it there, church. The angel said the first and the second pulls were impersonated, and today, it is being impersonated right before our eyes. Why? Because healing is a mere g i f t! T h e d e v i l c a n impersonate it, for he can impersonate any gift. There is no gift of the Spirit the devil cannot impersonate. The discerning of Spirits is a gift; the devil can impersonate it. And no sooner had the prophet started taking people by the h a n d, h e r e c a m e impersonators, carnal preachers, they started their own discernment, until they were creating nothing but confusion and trouble for innocent people. And many times, Brother Branham would come to

10 Page 10 the pulpit, and would try to explain to the people what this manifestation on his hand was about, and how it operates the gift of healing. And many times he was warned by the angel of the Lord, Don't do it. You can't teach Pentecostal babies spiritual things. But when it came to the Third Pull, the angel said, Don't even try to explain this one. Why? It cannot be impersonated! N o! Y o u c a n n o t impersonate the Third Pull! Nobody can impersonate it, because God will show out your folly to the whole world! Why can it not be impersonated? Because it is not a gift! It is a divine revelation! And you cannot impersonate a divine revelation! You cannot do it! It is absolutely impossible to impersonate it, for you cannot have a divine revelation until and unless God gives it to you! Remember, the Third Pull is related to the Word, the Sword of the King. And the angel of God said, This is that Third Pull, speaking of the Sword in the prophet's hand, which is divine Scriptural revelation. That is, The Third Pull is t h e s u p e r n a t u r a l unveiling of the Word of God. Let us move forward w i t h t h e p r o p h e t ' s projection. Page 563 (508), paragraph 2 (291) states: I was standing with a little baby's shoe, when He told me, said, Now, make your First Pull; and when you do, THE FISH will run after the lure. Said, Then watch your Second Pull, said, because there will only be small fish. He said, THEN THE THIRD PULL WILL GET IT. Halleluyah! Did you hear that? The Third Pull will get it! So, it means this: It is really the Third Pull that gets the bride! Because the first and second pulls are mere signs! And Spirit signs attract every crab, every cockroach, every demon, every scorpion, every reptile, (Are you with me?). It attracts every vulture, every lizard, every spider. Because they are not interested in any truth! They come only because they have a problem they want solved! Brothers, when you have time, on Friday or Saturday, if you have the local cable, turn on your televisions, and tune into Time Television, from 6-8p.m. They call it The Bride Voice. They are purportedly the voice of the bride. Go and see the crowd. The majority of the crowd are not there for any revelation of truth that may be presented. They are there mainly with problems, and they are there for one June 2007 main purpose: Solutions! They are interested more in the prophecy that would minister to their carnal problems, than in the message anybody is preaching. And when they make their phone calls, d u r i n g t h e p h o n e - i n programme on television, they do not ask, Brother, teach us this... They only w a n t t h e s o - c a l l e d prophets to pray for them. The Overseer of the church replies: Ah, you don't want me to pray for you; it is the prophet you want to pray for you. He then retorts: Okay o, prophet, they want you to pray. Then the prophet prays. They have male prophets, and they also have prophetesses. Incredible! But they have no apostles in their camp! And to think they are in the B r a n h a m m o v e m e n t! Church, any of the gifts of t h e S p i r i t c a n b e impersonated! But divine revelation, nobody can impersonate it. You have to realize, the world is beset with a lot of problems. And as such, the world is looking for power that is for deliverance, and for healing, to solve the problems of their lives, giving them a financial breakthrough, or healing. But how many are looking for eternal life? Life comes s t r i c t l y t h r o u g h t h e

11 June 2007 revelation of Jesus Christ. How many are really looking for life? People are only looking for financial or economic breakthrough. They are looking for the god of silver and gold, a god who can heal their sicknesses, and bring deliverance from their torment, but no more. And who doesn't want a b r e a k t h r o u g h? W h o doesn't want it? But after the breakthrough, where will you wind up at the end of your road? That is why the prophet was warned concerning the Third Pull: Don't even try to explain it. The first two pulls had been impersonated, but this third one has no impersonation. I ask again, Why? Because it is divine revelation! And nobody can impersonate that! If God has not given it to you, you cannot have it. You just cannot have it until God gives it. It is that simple. And you cannot give what you do not have. And if God has not given a divine revelation of truth to you, and you try to go into it, to try to explain it, your folly can only be made manifest. It will! Because you cannot give what you do not have! So we see in this our day, even as we are sitting this morning, impersonation of Spirit gifts going on around the world. Sometimes in their prophetic utterances, they get it right, and sometimes, they get it wrong. And when they got it wrong, they try to patch it. But if it is God, even as Brother Branham often declared: Thus Saith the Lord never fails! No, not once! It cannot! But saints of God, divine revelation is what the Third Pull is about. So, the prophet tried to use the first two pulls to catch the fish, but he did not succeed. But the angel told him, The Third will catch it. Why is this so? It is because only God's elect bride are interested in nothing but the true revelation of the Word. Only the elect bride is interested in the pure revelation of the Word. The rest may tell you they are. But they are not! Because the attitude and stand of a man, lets you know what he is interested in, and what he is not! Only elect bride seeds of God are interested in nothing but the truth of the Word. You can raise as many dead as you want, and you can also prophesy until the Moon is turning blue black, according to your word; but as long as you do not have that pure revelation, the true bride elects will not follow you, knowing that the two spirits are so close! T h e y p o s s e s s t h e Page 11 revelation of the False Anointed Ones at the end time of Matthew 24:24: They will show great signs and wonders; insomuch that if it were possible, by virtue of the enormity of their miracles, They will deceive the very elect. That means in essence: It is only the very elects of God, the false anointed ones at the end time will not be able to deceive. Why? Because the very elects are the only ones who will not use signs and wonders to determine the ministry of any man. No, they will not! What will they use? They are going to use nothing but divine wisdom. That is, they are going to use the revelation of Jesus Christ as their exclusive yardstick, for censoring preachers. Saints of God, only the very elects will not be deceived; n o t t h o s e w h o c a l l themselves elects; not those who think they are elects; but only the very elects of God are not going to be deceived by the move of the anti-christ at this evening time. Why is this so? Because they are the only ones following a true revelation! Because all they want, and all they are looking for, is nothing but the pure and wholesome revelation of Jesus Christ! Because in the true

12 Page 12 revelation of Christ is life eternal. Any other thing is deception. You have to accept the bitter fact that a lot of people following this message, are only out to b u i l d a n e m p i r e f o r themselves, and make a name. And saints, all they will do when they make any one a proselyte, is to make him or her a child of hell twice worse than the preachers themselves. Why? Because it is better for you never to have known the way of right, than after knowing it, to turn a w a y f r o m t h e h o l y revelation given to you! I have to ask: Why would G o d c a l l u s o u t o f organized systems of religion, and men in the movement will bind people b a c k i n t o o r g a n i z e d systems they have set-up?! Saints of God, only the true bride cannot be deceived! I ask again: Do you know w h y? B e c a u s e t h e standard she will use to judge the ministry, or to judge an assembly, is not miracles. It is not! She uses a higher standard: The revelation of the Word! And that is precisely why she cannot be deceived. But the rest of the religious world, including the movement, will be deceived, because their yardstick is crooked! They either use quotes, or they use signs, and the truth is, the devil has a lot of that to give, because he can use the quotes of the prophet pervertedly, and he can impersonate any of those gifts! Think seriously about it! A s s u c h, y o u m u s t understand, the revelation of the Word supercedes any spirit manifestation or gift, and that divine revelation, is the only thing t h e d e v i l c a n n o t impersonate. That is why the angel told Brother Branham: Now make your First Pull; and when you do, the fish will run after the lure. Said, T h e n w a t c h y o u r S e c o n d P u l l s a i d, because it'll only be small fish. He said, Then the Third Pull will get it. We will now go to the last paragraph on page 563 (509, paragraph 299): And just then He picked me up. He took me up and sat me way up high to WHERE A MEETING WAS GOING ON - looked like A TENT OR A CATHEDRAL, of some sort. Hold it there. Please note that the tent in the vision here, has nothing to do with the Tent Vision, which the people projecting the erroneous Return Ministry of Brother Branham, hold onto as their basis. Note that. It has nothing to do with the tent June 2007 vision which the movement a r e s a y i n g B r o t h e r Branham must come back to fulfill. The tent here is not about that tent vision. This tent here is strictly about the Third Pull, for it is related strictly to the Third Pull. Listen closely... And just then He PICKED ME UP. He took me up and sat me way up high to where A MEETING was going on - looked like A TENT OR A CATHEDRAL of some sort... And I seen that Light was talking to somebody above me - that Light you see there on the picture. It whirled away from me, like that, and went over to that tent, and said, I'll meet you there. For what? The Third Pull! The angel of the Lord spelt it out, for he declared: This will be the Third Pull, and you won't tell it to nobody! That lets you see without a shadow of doubt, the tent in this vision is tied to the Third Pull! That was why, when the prophet was being dealt with on the Third Pull, the angel told him, I'll meet you in there. Where? A meeting ground! But where was that meeting ground? He said it looked like a tent or a Cathedral! It is just to let you know that God was going to begin to activate the Third Pull, in the gathering of the saints!

13 June 2007 Because the Third Pull has to be projected in church service! Why? Because it is revelation! So, revelation is not to be unveiled in the closet. It may have been unveiled to the prophet himself in a closet, but he will have to take it out of the closet, and lay it out to G o d ' s p e o p l e, i n a message, in open church service! So he said, I'll meet you there! Because that is where the Third Pull will begin to be unveiled to God's people! Remember, he said it was like a tent or a Cathedral. But the tent vision which the Return Ministry projectors are h o l d i n g t o i s n o t a Cathedral at all! The tent vision is a tent vision, where the prophet will carry a tent, literally, and go to a designated spot, as he is led of God, set up that tent, not a Cathedral, and stay there for as long as God would lead him, ministering to people in that tent. And when he was done, he would pack that tent, and move to the next location. That way, he would not need to seek cooperation f r o m d e n o m i n a t i o n a l preachers, who have been hindrances, pulling his ministry here and there. Are you with me? Brother Branham did not fulfil that Tent Vision, but he fulfilled the Third Pull! So this tent is not that tent vision. Do not mix it up with the tent vision. Hence the angel told him, I'll meet you in there. And when he looked in there, it was a meeting place. It looked like a tent or a Cathedral. And the Light (the angel), whirled away from the prophet, and went over that tent. And he said, This will be the Third Pull, and you won't tell it to nobody. Why? Church, the Third Pull is a mystery, for it is divine revelation! It is not about healing, and it is not about discernment. It is about supernatural revelation of the Word! C h u r c h, y o u m u s t understand, prior to 1963, here came the revelation of the Seven Church Ages in W e h a d t h e revelation of the Seventy Weeks of Daniel. We had the revelation of the Original Sin. We also had the revelation of the Serpent Seed, etc. But when it got to 1963, something spectacular took place. What took place? That takes you straight to Revelation chapters 4, 5, and 6, because 1963 is a year that is relative to those three chapters, as earlier laid out. That was the year the revelation of the Seals were given. And God sent the revelation through the ministry of seven angels. Page 13 T h e y c a m e i n a constellation, and they came to deal with the prophet, to open up the door to supernatural revelation, for the Universal bride of Christ.. So, church, the angel told h i m, G o i n t o t h a t meeting, and I'll meet you there. This will be the Third Pull. In other words, This will be the beginning of it. So in 1963, Brother Branham entered the Third Pull, which is the third phase of his ministry, and it is the highest phase, being the peak of his ministry, the climax. It is the crowning glory of his ministry. It is greater and higher than the first and second pulls, yet those are power signs, signs which attract masses of people, being a crowd puller. But when Brother Branham entered into the Third Pull, that was when he lost the balance of the crowd following him. Can I hear Amen?! When Brother Branham stepped into his Third Pull, that was when he lost the balance of the crowd. Why? Because people are not interested in the deep things of God! They are not interested in the deep revelation of truth! What they want is simply this: Give me a simple gospel message, or...just prophesy for me... Pray for

14 Page 14 my sick wife... Bring deliverance to my little child... But please, I do not need your revelation! And that was why, under the Third Pull, the remaining denominational people, the Catholics, the Baptists, the P r e s b y t e r i a n s, a n d Methodists, when the prophet entered into the Third Pull, the deep unveiling of the Word, they picked their Bibles, and began to walk out thinking: We thought he was a servant of God, we did not know he is a devil. Yes, the same people that sat under his ministry, and were crying, seeing God heal the sick, raise the dead, give eyes, brand new eyeballs, to a little baby that never saw in all her life, walked away from his meetings, when the prophet began the unveiling of the Word. People who were crying, as God was performing signs and wonders, when he started unveiling the Word, they began to leave him, and his crowd thinned out. And when he entered the Third Pull, that was when the angel said, That is when you will catch the fish of God. Halleluyah! Saints of God, the Third Pull was the climax of Brother Branham's ministry, and c h u r c h, i t w a s a phenomenal experience, because in 1963, the bride of Christ was moved up the ladder of revelation, into supernatural revelation: The deep things of God. The revelation that came that year, brothers and sisters, brought a deep gulf between the bride, and the entire religious world, because if you were not a person ordained to follow the light, it was a light you could not follow. 1963, was a p h e n o m e n a l y e a r! Because that was the year when Christ came to fulfill Matthew 25:10 aspect of the Midnight cry: And while they (the foolish virgins) went to buy, the bridegroom CAME; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage (i.e. to the engagement). But prior to that, in verse 6, the Midnight Crier says: "... B e h o l d, t h e bridegroom COMETH" (i.e. is coming)! But in verse 10, the Bible says: "The bridegroom CAME"! (i.e. he has come)! He came in a divine revelation! Church, you have to understand, Jesus came down here, not physically, but by his Spirit, in a divine revelation, through the ministry of seven angels, in Brother Branham's ministry. As Christ in heaven broke the first six Seals, he sent down seven angels to convey the revelation of it to one man. June 2007 That was when Christ came, thereby igniting the Third Pull, that by the Third Pull, a door could be opened up for the end time bride, a door of accessibility to divine revelation, to give us an understanding of the last Book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation, which bears things we never understood, unveiling the deep things of God. Remember, the Book of Revelation dovetails with the Book of Daniel, Books holding things we did not understand through time. And don't forget, brothers and sisters, Paul said, We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which God ordained for our glory. That is why Christians have carried that last Book of the Bible all through time, for almost 1,900 years, and they did not understand it. Why? They carried it even though they did not understand it, because of the kind of d e a l e r s h i p t h e y h a d received under apostle Paul, and under apostle John, preparing them for the prophetic Book. They carried the Book as the last Book of the Bible, yet they t h e m s e l v e s d i d n o t understand the Book they carried. And yet it held such deep, serious, prophetic revelation for the bride of this very end. And we are

15 June 2007 the people that are living in the days of its application. Think about it! Because it is very important! It is a prophetic Book holding truths buried through time. It took God, working through the ministry of the prophet, to take us in, opening up the door of understanding of that Book. That is why in 1960, Brother Branham came with the revelation of the Seven Church Ages, and gave us the seven star messengers. But church, as long as the Seals were not broken, we could only walk within the fringes of that Book. I said we could only move within the fringes of that Book! It took the opening of the Seals in 1963, to open the door to you and me, to enter into that serious Book of prophecy. And saints of God, therein, you see the Third Pull in its beginning. It is the third phase of Brother Branham's ministry. And as I laid out earlier, the Third Pull is a language peculiar to his ministry, but its application is not limited to his ministry. So now we want to see the breakdown of the Third Pull, having laid the necessary background for it. Let me start by saying this categorically: The Third Pull is not about healing the sick, raising the dead, or speaking squirrels into being. Those are mere signs. The Third Pull is s t r i c t l y a b o u t d i v i n e revelation, and it has no impersonation. It is either God gives it, or you do not h a v e i t. P e r i o d! I n considering the breakdown of the Third Pull, we have to turn to page 564 (509), paragraph 2 (299, last line). Brother Branham declared: And in Sabino Canyon, He said, This is the Third Pull. Watch closely: And there's THREE GREAT THINGS (Plural things: Three being the number of perfection). I take it again: There's three great things (Plural) that goes with it. This evidently reveals that the Third Pull has three great things that make it up. I have to recap: And in Sabino Canyon, He said, This is the Third Pull. And there's three great things that goes with it. Watch: And one unfolded today... or yesterday. He corrected himself. He first said one unfolded today, then he corrected himself, for it unfolded yesterday, and he meant to say yesterday. So it means, One unfolded yesterday (the first great thing. Brother Branham continued:) the other one unfolded today, (The second great thing), and Page 15 (Conjunction) there's one thing (One thing: The third thing. He has seen two things, but he is now talking of the third thing, because you are looking at three great things that go with the Third Pull. He said one unfolded yesterday; the other thing unfolded today; but of the third great thing, he said:) And there's one thing that I cannot interpret because it's in an unknown language. (That is, it was given in tongues which the prophet could not decode or interprete). As I stand right there and looked right straight at it, (The Spirit of the Lord said:) And this is the Third Pull C-O-M-I-N-G UP. That is future. That clearly reveals that the third thing, is a future event, for he plainly declared: This is the Third Pull coming up. Hold it there. Saints, the prophet said there are three great things that go with the Third P u l l. O n e u n f o l d e d yesterday, the other one unfolded today, and the third one flew before him in an unknown language. So he saw something displayed before him! It is like when the angel wrote on the wall in Babylon, during the days of King Belshazzar: Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin. But here it was not Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin (Are you

16 Page 16 with me?), but he saw a message, or a writing, pass before him, in an unknown language. He could not interprete it. He could not decode it. But as he was looking at those words going forth before him in an unknown language, he heard a voice: This is the Third Pull COMING UP. The Spirit of the Lord did not say the Third Pull that is here. He said it is the Third Pull coming up! That is future! Hold it. You have to be settled on that, for it is as c l e a r a s d a y, a n d incontestable. Listen again: As I stand right there and looked right straight at it, and this is the Third Pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God... Oh, my! Hold it. Now, watch very closely what he tied it to: THAT'S THE REASON A L L H E AV E N WA S SILENT! What was the reason why heaven was silent? The Third Pull coming up! The future event! And what is that future event? It is heaven being made silent! Where do we see that? In the Seventh Seal of Revelation chapter 8 verse 1! Let us read it: And When he had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. Halleluyah! There was silence in heaven for about thirty minutes! And Brother Branham, when he was talking about the future Third Pull, said, That's the reason all Heaven was silent. What was he doing? He tied the future breaking and unveiling of the Seventh Seal to the Third Pull! The thing he saw fly before him in an unknown language, which makes up the third great thing, he tied it to the Seventh Seal! That lets you know the third great thing of the Third Pull, is the Seventh Seal revelation, because that is one portion of the Third Pull, that is coming up. Why? It is still future! The first six Seals in its breaking and unveiling, is relative to year 1963! That takes us to Revelation chapters 4, 5, and 6! It is relative to 1963! But the Seventh Seal is not! The breaking of the Seventh Seal is still a future event, and it therefore remains unbroken, and unveiled! Don't forget, he was dealing with this issue of the Third Pull and the Seventh Seal, the very day he was preaching on the Seventh Seal, in March 1963! And on that day, he put the breaking and unveiling of the Seventh Seal in the future! Yet, there was a supernatural but c o d e d r e v e l a t i o n h e received by the dealership of the Spirit of God, through the angel, in order to post the bride ahead, to the June 2007 Seventh Seal, that we may know to look forward, knowing it is the third and final dealing of God, and that dealing would complete the application of the Third Pull. Otherwise, we will not know to look forward, or what to expect, if God had not so dealt with the prophet. But church, let us take that quote again: And in Sabino Canyon, He said, This is the Third Pull. AND THERE'S THREE GREAT THINGS THAT GOES WITH IT, and one unfolded yesterday; the other one unfolded today; A N D T H E R E ' S O N E THING THAT I CANNOT INTERPRETE, BECAUSE IT'S IN AN UNKNOWN LANGUAGE. As I stand right there and looked right straight at it, AND THIS IS THE THIRD PULL COMING UP. And the Holy Spirit of God... Oh my! THAT'S THE REASON A L L H E AV E N WA S SILENT! Now, I better stop right here, see. I just feel checked, not to say no more about it. See? So j u s t r e m e m b e r, t h e Seventh Seal, (The Seventh) The reason it was not opened, the reason He did not reveal it, no one should know about it. We will now move to the next paragraph, paragraph 4 of page 564 (304 of page 510): You

17 June 2007 notice. Notice now, for the end of time Message, (this Seal). (Brother Branham is talking of the Seventh Seal) After all... He's revealed all the six Seals, but it don't say nothing about the Seventh. And the end time Seal, WHEN IT STARTS (Future dealing), will be ABSOLUTELY A TOTAL SECRET (That is, it is a revelation known to no one) according to the Bible. That lets you know, the revelation of the Seventh Seal is one message you will not find in any sermon book!!! You would have to follow c o n t i n u i t y t o g e t i t. Therefore, you cannot afford to put a full stop (a period), to the continuity of revelation. If you do, you will not make it in the rapture, for you will definitely not possess the revelation of the Seventh Seal, when it eventually comes, having already closed the door to the continuity of divine revelation! That is a solemn but serious warning. Hold it now, for I have to ask you: What then is the Third Pull? It is nothing but divine revelation! But as we said, it started with the prophet, but it did not end with the prophet. Why do we say that? Because Brother Branham said there are three great things that go with the Third Pull! But now I have to ask: What are the three great things? THE THREE GREAT THINGS ARE NOTHING OTHER T H A N T H E T H R E E PHASES OR STAGES OF THE THIRD PULL! They are three ministry moves of God, through which God is dealing with the bride, in a supernatural revelation, to give the bride of Christ, access to divine revelation, t h e h i d d e n w i s d o m. R e m e m b e r, t h e supernatural revelation of Christ, is her crowning glory. That is God's way of getting her ready to get out of this world. And that dealing is reserved strictly for the true elect bride. Listen closely, as we take a look at the chart (The chart is printed on page 33). The Third Pull started with Elijah's ministry, so, B r o t h e r B r a n h a m ' s ministry, has to be the first phase of the Third Pull, the first great thing. But he said he also saw a third great thing, but that third great thing flew before him in an unknown tongue, and he tied it to Revelation 8:1 Seventh Seal, which the Seven Thunders will reveal to us at that time. But you may ask: How do we know the Seventh Seal will be revealed to us by the Seven Thunders? Well, the prophet also talked about it, Page 17 when he was preaching on the Seventh Seal in On page 567 (512), paragraph 1 (323), he declared:...now, what this great secret is (That is, the secret of the Seventh Seal) that lays beneath this Seal, I DO NOT KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IT. I COULDN'T MAKE IT OUT. I COULDN'T TELL IT, JUST WHAT IT SAID. (Yet he heard something which was coded! But watch:) BUT I KNOW THAT IT WAS THEM S E V E N T H U N D E R S UTTERING THEMSELVES R I G H T C L O S E TOGETHER, just banging seven different times. Hold it and mark what he laid out next. And it unfolded (In other words, the coded message of the Seven Thunders unfolded) into something else that I seen. (What did he see? The third great thing of the Third Pull!). Then when I seen that, I looked for the interpretation that flew across there, (But watch:) and I COULDN'T MAKE IT OUT. Why? Because it flew before him in an unknown tongue! The interpretation was also coded, and the prophet still could not decode it!!! What is that telling you? The unknown tongue coded interpretation he saw, relates to the third great

18 Page 18 thing of the Third Pull he previously saw! It all relates to the Seven Thunders! Wake up now! Remember the unknown tongue that flew before him earlier, in his quote on page 564 (509), paragraph 2 (300), being the third great thing of the Third Pull, he already tied firmly to the Seventh Seal silence, which the Seven Thunders will reveal! And the Seven Thunders revelation he also later received, in his quote on page 567 (512), paragraphs 2 and 3 (323), was also given to him in a coded language! But the interpretation of the message of the Seven Thunders, though coded, u n f o l d e d t o a n o t h e r unknown tongue message he had seen previously, relating to the Third Pull, thereby tying both events together as one! That is, the third phase, or the third step, of the Third Pull, is tied firmly to the revelation of the Seven Thunders! Wake up saints! Do not forget, he already tied the unknown tongue of the Third Pull to the silence in heaven! As such, it is already tied to the Seventh S e a l! B u t n o w, h e s u b s e q u e n t l y s a w s o m e t h i n g f r o m t h e Thunders, but what he saw was still coded, and he did not have the code, so he could not decode it! But then, he realized that the coded message of the Thunders he saw, unfolded into, and synchronized with, something he had seen before. What did he see before? A message that flew before him in an unknown tongue, relating to the third great thing of the Third Pull! So what does all that tell you? This divine revelation, absolutely ties the Seven Thunders with the Seventh Seal, and with the third great thing of the Third Pull! I now ask: So, what does that tell you, seeing that the prophet tied the Seven Thunders with the Seventh Seal, and with the third great thing of the Third Pull? IN SIMPLE TERMS, IT MEANS THAT THE SEVEN THUNDERS' REVELATION, IS THE THIRD GREAT THING: THAT IS, THE SEVEN THUNDERS MINISTRY, IS THE THIRD PHASE OF T H E T H I R D P U L L. PERIOD! Because he was told: This is the Third Pull coming up! So, if the third great thing coming up is tied to the Seventh Seal, which would be revealed by Seven Thunders, then you must know the revelation of the Seven Thunders is the third phase of the Third Pull. Simple! It is as plain as day! And if you cannot see it, don't worry, it is obvious it June 2007 is not meant for you. It is that simple. But let us finish that paragraph on page 567 (512): Then when I seen that, I looked for the interpretation that flew across there, and I couldn't make it out. That's exactly right. See? Why couldn't he make it out, or decode it? He tells us why, plainly and categorically, sealing it even with Thus Saith the Lord: THE HOUR ISN'T QUITE YET FOR IT, but it's moving into that cycle, see. IT'S COMING UP CLOSE. So the thing for you to do is to R E M E M B E R T H AT I SPEAK TO YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; It is thus saith the Lord: BE PREPARED, for you don't k n o w w h a t t i m e something can happen. To be prepared is to open your heart to the continuity of true divine revelation. Period! That is the only way of not missing this glorious and most important future dealing of God. And then, towards the very end of the n e x t p a r a g r a p h, h e declared: I don't know who's going to... what is going to take place. I do not know. I JUST KNOW THAT THOSE SEVEN T H U N D E R S H O L D S THAT MYSTERY, THAT H E A V E N S W A S QUIETED. Then he

19 June 2007 a s k e d : E v e r y b o d y understand? And I ask you that as well today: Do you also understand? Then it means this, church: When Brother Branham, concerning the Third Pull, declared that there are three great things that goes with it, those three great things, are nothing other than three phases of the Third Pull. Yes, his own ministry had three pulls: The First Pull; the Second Pull; and the Third Pull. But the Third Pull, which his ministry started, is not limited to his own ministry, because the Third Pull has three phases or stages, or as he called it, three great things. H e called i t things, but they are actually phases or stages. He called it things, but to understand those things, you have to look at the ministry! Why do I say ministry? Because he gave us the third one that is coming up, which is the ministry of the Seven Thunders! They will give to us the revelation of the Seventh Seal, that is, they will give us the revelation of the silence in heaven. Therefore, if the Seven Thunders will give us the revelation of the Seventh Seal, which is the third phase, the third great thing, and the Seven Thunders, is a ministry, what are the first two great things? They are also ministries! Moreover, if his own ministry started the Third Pull, and we see that the third phase of the Third Pull pertains to the Seven Thunders, what then is the second phase, or the second great thing of the Third Pull? It is also a ministry! Yes, it is! And that is exactly why I have colour coded the three great things on my chart, to project the three different phases of the Third Pull. The first phase of the Third Pull, which is the first great thing, is E l i j a h ' s r e v e l a t i o n, b e c a u s e B r o t h e r Branham's ministry is the beginning phase of the Third Pull. He started the Third Pull, but the Third Pull is not limited to his ministry. I am telling you this morning, on the authority of his own words, and on the authority of Thus Saith the Lord, which he also gave, and on the basis of the revelation of the Word, he started the Third Pull, but the Third Pull does not stop with him, for it does not stop, until the bride goes up in the rapture! You are not hearing me. The Third Pull Page 19 does not stop, until we go up in the rapture! What does that tell you? Divine revelation does not stop u n t i l w e e n t e r t h e rapture! Divine revelation s t a r t e d w i th William Branham, in the Third Pull, giving us accessibility to the deep things of God, things buried in the pages of the Bible, which no man, and which no ministry, could decode, through time, until there was a prophet on this planet. The Third Pull started with his ministry, but it does not stop with his ministry, because the Third Pull, once started, does not stop, until the bride enters the rapture. Then I ask: You who do not believe in t h e c o n t i n u i t y o f revelation, what are you going to do with these truths? They say, Brother Branham preached it all. It is very obvious they are not even listening to the man! You did not hear me. This movement, these blind people, these people who are nothing but a pack of unbelievers, say there is no more revelation; that B r o t h e r B r a n h a m preached it all. But the same Brother Branham said: The Third Pull is coming up! Be prepared for it! This is thus saith the Lord! The Seven Thunders will reveal that

20 Page 20 revelation at that time! And mark you, the Seven Thunders are not spirit angels! Angels have never come to preach to men, to give the bride a revelation! Yet, angels bear the revelation to men, whom God uses to convey a revelation to His people. So, how are we going to know the revelation of the Seventh Seal? We will know the Seventh Seal, the same way we know the first six Seals: Through the instrumentality of human beings! The last Seal will also definitely come, through the instrumentality of human beings! I said the first six Seals were not brought to us on the platform by an angel! It was brought to us by William Branham, a man! Then the Seventh Seal, being the final Seal, will not come to the bride by an angel either, even though God will send an angel to convey the revelation to the ministry ordained to bear it. But on the platform, it will be men standing to bear the revelation of it to the Universal bride of Jesus Christ. That is why I have to say, church, 1963, was the beginning of the Third Pull. The Shout had been going on before then, because The Shout is the m e s s a g e o f W i l l i a m Branham. The Shout had been going on before then, but 1963, that was the climax, because that was the year he entered into supernatural revelation, the Third Pull, bringing out things buried through time, things that no man had the authority prior to year 1963, to reveal. No man could speak it! It was unspeakable, until 1963! That was the beginning move of God, in giving the bride of Christ, access to supernatural revelations. That was the beginning of the Third Pull, but the Third Pull will not stop until we go in the rapture. But saints, let us look at the three phases of the Third Pull more closely, as we bring our message to a close. The Third Pull started with William Branham, and if his ministry began it, then c h u r c h, y o u m u s t understand, the first great thing of the Third Pull, is his own ministry, that is, E l i j a h ' s r e v e l a t i o n. Brothers and sisters, that gives you and I, looking at the chart, his input, from y e a r t o , because in December 25th, 1965, he passed away, ending the first phase of the Third Pull. That is why I made a loop in the chart, from 1965 June 2007 when he died, and 1966, when the second great thing started (i.e. when the second phase of the Third Pull started). Remember, the first great thing is his ministry input. Church, someone may ask: But Brother Amos, the prophet said three great things go with the Third Pull. And one unfolded yesterday. Are you telling me that that is his ministry? How can it just be unfolding, after having taken six Seals yesterday?! Listen now. Listen to me very carefully. He knew the Third Pull was coming. It had been s p o k e n t o h i m prophetically by the angel of the Lord, years before then. Are you with me? But until that yesterday, until a day before he spoke about this Third Pull breakdown, he did not know the Third Pull would be in three phases! I said, until the time he was dealt with by the Spirit of the Lord, that yesterday, the 23rd March, he did not realize that the promise of God concerning the Third Pull, was going to be in three phases! That is why he said, yesterday. He said there are three great things that go with this Third Pull: One unfolded yesterday. Why? Because that yesterday, 23rd March, was the beginning

21 June 2007 of the breakdown of the Third Pull for the prophet! Then you must understand, what broke forth yesterday, was the revelation of his own input, the first phase of the Third Pull, which his ministry started, but which it does not complete! He had always known the Third Pull had to do with his ministry, for his ministry would have three pulls. But he did not know there were to be three great things that would go with it! He did not know the Third Pull would be in three phases! But here the angel of the Lord came to him in a divine revelation, revealing to him for the very first time, things that were buried only in the mind of God, as God determined to unveil His truth, and His plan, in the way He has designed to unveil it, a step at a time. And we can only follow God in His leadership, by His Spirit, in the light of truth, as He unveils it, a step at a time. You must understand, brothers and sisters, many of the logistics of God's dealing, are buried in His mind! You are not hearing me. I said many of the logistics of the means whereby truth would be carried, is buried in God's mind! That is a fact, which we can take through time, in the Scriptures! And that is why we must have an open heart for the continuity of the revelation of Jesus Christ! That is why we took the text in 1 Corinthians chapter 2, to start this message: We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, because this mystery of the kingdom, or this wisdom or revelation of Christ, is ordained strictly for the glory of the bride, not for everybody. It i s a m y s t e r y o r a supernatural revelation reserved exclusively for the bride! And that is why we started by saying, only the true elect bride will have a true, and perfect, a n d c o m p l e t e, understanding of the message of Jesus Christ, which is the message of the end time. I say that because the end time m e s s a g e i s n o t a mysterious or a new message. It is not! It is the message of Christ! It is therefore not a new message, for you to make it mysterious. It is the message of Jesus Christ, which is contained in the Holy Bible! Why? It is simply because salvation does not come through any other person, other than Jesus Christ! Brother B r a n h a m w a s a messenger of Jesus Christ! He did not bring his Page 21 own message! He brought the message of Jesus Christ our Saviour! In fact, h e w a s C h r i s t ' s ambassador, the forerunner of Jesus Christ! He did not come for himself! So he is not bearing a different message! It is the message of Jesus Christ he brought! And that is why I always say, Until you can see Scripturally, the things B r o t h e r B r a n h a m i s saying, you are not hearing anything, and you are not reading anything, that can be of any blessing to your soul. Instead, you would be worse off for having read it. You have to understand the prophet, strictly by the Scriptures! And until you do that, you are only reading words, and quoting words. So, Brother Branham had always known the Third Pull was his ministry. Yes. And he knew it was coming. And when the time came, a Sword struck his hand. Before that happened, he thought maybe it was his homegoing time. The angel of the Lord had to deal with him on it, to put his mind at peace, and to give him understanding. Therefore, when the Sword of the King, the Word of God, hit his hand, and he heard a voice say, This is that

22 Page 22 Third Pull, and he was shown a Cathedral, and then, the angel of the Lord whirled up, and went right up above him to speak with somebody above him, and again the angel called out to him, saying I'll m e e t y o u i n t h a t meeting, and this will be the Third Pull. That settled the matter for the prophet. But church, something later happened. Subsequently, he had an experience, on the day he preached the sixth Seal, as the angel of the Lord dealt with him, to let him understand, the Third Pull is going to have three phases, and each of these phases are great phases. Saints of God, this is the crowning of the bride! Divine revelation is the crowning of the bride! It is strictly the food of the bride, Eagle food! Fresh carcase! Church, divine revelation is not for every Tom, Dick, and Harry! It is strictly for the bride of Christ! But I know, some would definitely say: But Brother Amos, if your ministry is true, why are there no miraculous signs going forth? I will simply t e l l y o u : G o t o t h e Synagogue Church of All Nations! There they have miracles galore! Go there and sit under the ministry of Temitope Joshua! I have to say that because God never called any man to manufacture signs! And neither did He ask anyone that would preach the Word to use sorcery! Moreover, you must know t h a t t h e g r e a t e s t vindication any man can have, is the vindication of the truth. I have to say that, knowing it is an absolute fact, and knowing also that John the Baptist did not do any sign or wonder! He did not even heal a headache! But he had the revelation of God for his day! He had it! We are not told Isaiah healed even a toothache! But he bore the truth for his day, and they sawed him asunder for the hardness of his message! True signs are of God, but we follow only divine wisdom, not signs. We do not follow signs. We follow only the truth of Christ. But that wisdom, also has signs. B u t y o u m u s t a l s o understand that God gives it at His own time, and for his own purpose, for God h a s a t i m e a n d a n objective to everything! Do you know, church, if signs should break forth in this place today, we would not have the space to occupy the people that would come as a result. Because the world is loaded with a lot of problems! People June 2007 have problems! And signs and wonders pull the crowd! And then, when all sorts are here, and the church is full of tadpoles, and cockroaches, and scorpions, and turtles, and reptiles, all with familiar spirits that we see on television, how are we going to get ourselves dressed and ready for the coming of the Lord? How is your soul going to be washed and dressed? Everyday, we will have to be preaching on the new birth, or on water baptism, etc, elementary principles of faith! You are not going to go anywhere, because you are not going to grow spiritually, having an assembly that is made up of a crowd, full of the world! That is why I warn you, when we have Convention, please do not j u s t i n v i t e y o u r d e n o m i n a t i o n a l o r u n b e l i e v i n g f a m i l y members, if they are not interested in following this way (i.e. the message). Let them stay home, but love them, and pray for them, because they do not have to come and be a h i n d r a n c e, a n d a s t u m b l i n g, a n d a n aggravation! Because here they come, with all their breasts open, and with all their painted faces and lips like Jezebel. And it

23 June 2007 is supposed to be a gathering of eagles, and you are bringing vultures. You just have to remove sentiment, and realize that God is preparing a bride! T h i s i s a n h o u r o f perfection! Let me tell you now, you must understand the day we are living in. This is certainly not the day of mass conversion. Harvest has its peak. T h e r e h a s t o b e a terminating point for harvest, when harvest goes forth, if you truly believe we are in harvest time, according to the r e v e l a t i o n o f t h e Scriptures. Consider this: There is a time when a man, a mortal farmer, harvests his crop. But there is also a gleaning time, after the main harvest has been done. That is obviously the season we are in now. In such an hour, it is only one seed here, and one seed there, that missed the harvesters, and that will follow truth. Even the gleaning exercise has its terminating point! It does! We are living in the last days of the gleaning period. That is why today, you can only get one here, and one there, who is really interested in truth, and is willing to pay the price. The rest who come, more often than not, go back to where they came from, for they are really not interested in any truth. Why? Because we do not preach a material gospel, and also because we do n o t h a v e t h e s e Jahjahora prophets here, who would tell them their life's problems! You know, Nigeria, just like the rest of the world, is laden with problems. They are looking for either bodily healing, deliverance, or financial breakthrough. T h i s i s t h e i r s o l e motivation, or their main motivation for coming to church. It is about their carnal needs, and all they want is a carnal gospel. And we are not interested in that either. We are only interested in the divine revelation of Jesus Christ, because we want to leave this world. We want to go home, and as such, we want to get ready for the coming of the Lord. We want to leave this horrible world, where, as in Nigeria, we have no l e a d e r s h i p, e p i l e p t i c electricity, no water, no houses for the people, no good roads, a nation where the Government has nothing for anybody, but yet, they will increase their Vat, increase their tax, increase the price of petrol, and expect us to use our blood to pay for it! I Page 23 am tired of it all! We want to go home! Church, that is why God has put a cap on the explosion of the miraculous. You have to see what God is doing. Because if He does not, this place will be filled, more by the world, than by seeds of God, and there is no preparation you will be able to do in a mixed multitude. I said there can be no preparation in a mixed multitude! That is why God made sure before the Jews crossed over to Canaan land, every mixed multitude, every non-seed among them, had to die out. But remember, the adults were carriers of the message. And a lot of them in this message movement are carriers of the message. And that also applies to a lot of men following continuity. They are carriers! They will help to s p r e a d t h e f a c t o f c o n t i n u i t y, b u t t h e y themselves are going nowhere. That is obvious. So you must understand there has to be a line drawn, to wrap up harvest. There is a time when even gleaning must stop. Why? So that seeds that have been brought in, may be brought to maturity! You must know that God is not going to bring some to maturity, while others are

24 Page 24 starting from A-B-C! Remember, we are not going in the rapture, leaving behind somebody ordained of God to be in it, but who has not attained the stature of Jesus Christ. We all, whether a hundred fold, a sixty fold, or a thirty fold Christian, are all going to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. I am talking of the Universal bride attaining perfection! You must understand there has got to be a time slot, when that becomes a reality. If that is to be a reality, then God cannot continue adding forever! There has got to be a time when the line is drawn, and the door is shut, and there is no more adding; the bride is shut in, and the world is shut out, to allow for perfection. That is most crucial! Matthew 25:10 "door " of access to divine revelation has to be shut one of these days, even as it is written therein. That is why we do not believe in m a s s c o n v e r s i o n anymore, because all it gives you at this end time of harvest, is nothing but a church full of the world. You would not be perfecting anybody, because the people coming in would not be interested in all that. They will be pulling down what you are trying to build up, because they are not interested in truth; they are not interested in a holy walk, nor in perfection. They have problems, and they are simply looking for solutions. Period! Like I said before, they need a healer, a deliverer, or a person that can give them financial breakthrough, no matter the anointing, whether it is wizardry, sorcery, or magic. As long as there is a false prophet who can prophesy to their carnal situations, that is all they care about. They are more like people who go to palm readers, fortune tellers, or witch doctors (herbalists or native doctors), for a Check Me Out session. It is a check me out spirit they have, not a spirit that is earnestly seeking true redemption. And that is what they are giving them today out there in the religious world, even on television. And the same spirit has taken over this movement. We will now return to the m a i n f o c u s o f o u r message. Church, the Third Pull s tarted w i t h William Branham, but it did not end with him. That is why I said, Only the bride are going to have a true understanding, a perfect, a n d a c o m p l e t e understanding, because June 2007 the revelation of the bride will not be complete until they enter the ministry of the Seven Thunders. Remember that! Because whatever balance of divine revelation remains, it is the Seven Thunders that will give it to the bride. As such, Brother Branham was dealt with by the angel of the Lord, to let him know, the Third Pull is coming, but when the hour came, he was dealt with a day before he took the Seventh Seal, to let him know the Third Pull is in three phases. Now, those are my words, but Brother Branham said three great things. And he tied the third great thing to the Seven Thunders. And if the Seven Thunders are ministries, and his own ministry started the Third Pull, then you must know the three great things are n o t h i n g b u t t h r e e ministries. Full stop! That is common sense, except you are not interested in truth! And I ask now, if the first phase is Elijah's r e v e l a t i o n, W i l l i a m Branham's revelation, and the third phase is the revelation of the Seven Thunders, what then is the second phase? You have to see the apostolic revelation! You have got to! That is the second great thing! Because, do

25 June 2007 not forget, Malachi 4:6b Elijah, laid a foundation of faith, which restores us back to our fathers, our apostolic fathers. So, that meant, he was going to hand over to a father of the end time, the successive standard bearer, who would be the beginning fold of the Ephesian m i n i s t r y, a n d t h e beginning office of that fold, which is the office of the chief apostle of this e n d t i m e, R a y m o n d Jackson, for we also had to have end time apostolic fathers! That is what they do not want to hear today in the movement, because they do not want headship! You know why? They have their own empire to establish! They chorus, Five fold ministry, five fold ministry, without a foundation! Five fold ministry, without headship! Five fold ministry, without a standard bearer! Five fold ministry, without the continuity of revelation! Five fold ministry, without live apostles, for they deny live apostles! They want apostles only on paper! Five fold ministry, without Scriptural unity! Five fold ministry, where every man does what he likes, and teaches what he likes! Five fold ministry, that denies the beginning o ff i c e o f t h e e n t i r e Ephesian ministry, which is the ministry of the chief apostle! Saints, you have to realize, when people talk like that, just know they have their own a g e n d a. T h e y a r e definitely not interested in following God's plan. They are not! They just have their own empire to build! And yet these same preachers, want people to follow them! They say they believe in the five fold ministry, yet in the midst of their so-called five fold ministry, somebody makes himself an Overseer, ruling other ministries, and projecting prophetesses in their ministry! Incredible! You are not hearing me. I said, they say they believe in the five fold ministry, and they do not believe in a one-man ministry, yet, they project every prophet with the spirit of divination! They have a truck load of p r o p h e t s a n d prophetesses, without any apostle! And in Bible Faith Tabernacle, we do not believe in a one-man show either. And neither do we have a one-man ministry here. Amen! We have two local pastors in this church: Brother Victor Cole-Showers and myself. And we also have a lot of men standing for this continuity truth around the world. But if believing in Page 25 the five fold ministry is to allow every cockroach in the message movement to minister on our pulpit, then we definitely will not be in that kind of five fold ministry! For we do not believe in confusion, and n e i t h e r d o w e w a n t confusion! We don't! So, do not ever think there is going to come a time, when we will call every preacher in the Branham movement, to preach on our pulpit, in the name of the five fold ministry: Bring in John Ogu, bring in Moses Alu, and then invite Vincent Ehindero to take the podium. Impossible! I say that with respect to these men, but that is not how the five fold ministry is constituted! You do not know what you are talking about, if you think like that! That would be confusion, for we do not believe the same thing, and are not standing for the same thing! We are not walking the same road! So, if we are not in the five fold ministry, simply because we are not following their warped and confused ministry projection, praise God! Let us not be in it! But we are in God's own ministry, because we are following God's revealed plan! We are following the plot! We are following God's blueprint! Because

26 Page 26 you must understand, no mortal charted this course, God did! Therefore, you can only walk this way, God's way. You can only walk it, God's way! There is no other way that will lead to heaven! So I ask you this: If the first phase of the Third Pull is Brother Branham's ministry, and the third phase is the ministry of the Seven Thunders, what is the second phase? It has got to be another ministry! You cannot make the second phase of the Third Pull abracadabra! If you make it abracadabra, the first phase must also be abracadabra, and the last phase must also be abracadabra! They must be abracadabra, because they are spoken of in the same context, by the same prophet, under the same inspiration, by the same Spirit! So let us consider the breakdown. In year 1963, the Third Pull started, but that was not when The Shout started, but that was the climax of the truth that would make The Shout. You must understand that. C a n I h e a r A m e n?! Because he died, two and a half years later, in December But here came 1966, when God anointed the chief apostle, Raymond Jackson. That started the second phase, the apostolic ministry phase, giving us the apostolic revelation input of the Third Pull! That gives us the second phase, or the second great thing. And church, for almost four decades, for thirty nine solid years, from 1966 to December 2004, Raymond Jackson was used to give us that apostolic revelation, which gives us, not only the input that makes up the major part of the second phase, of the Third Pull, it gives us the major revelatory input in the entire phases of the Third Pull! But in December 2004, he passed away. In 2005, here came the ministry of John. Church, apostle John's revelation input does not give you a third phase. It is still continuing that apostolic i n p u t, b e c a u s e t h e apostolic input, which gives us the second phase of the Third Pull, does not stop, until the time the T h u n d e r s s t a r t. S o, Brother Jackson's ministry started in year 1966, because in 1966, the baton was passed from W i l l i a m B r a n h a m t o Raymond Jackson, being the chief apostle, whose ministry is the first ministry p r o d u c e o f E l i j a h ' s ministry. Because Brother June 2007 Branham was to restore us back, not even to the faith of our fathers, although it includes their faith, but it is first to our fathers, because it will take the fathers of the end time, to take the truths of William Branham, and use it to lay a true, and solid, and immovable foundation of faith, for the true elect bride of Christ, and give us a true understanding of the prophet's ministry. That was why, until Brother Jackson came on the scene, we did not truly understand the message. We thought we did! But here we were fighting one another with dual s t a t e m e n t s, c o u n t e r quotes! We did not know what to do with it, or how to relate to it, or how to look at it. It took one man, to look at Matthew 3:12, the Fan in Christ's Hand, and show us, how Brother Branham's ministry, of all men God used through time, in the Grace Age, was the only ministry, that spoke in duality, and why. Because in his ministry, the separation process of God revealed in Matthew 3:12, was activated at the end time. He brought out the revelation of the Fan in Christ's Hand. Then for the first time, we really knew how to handle those quotes, knowing that

27 June 2007 whatever quote is not Biblical, we lay it on the shelf. Such quotes were designed by God, to lead off those that are nonseeds. And those quotes that have a Bible base, anchor true seeds in the truth, because God sent him to restore us back to the truth. But God knows tares have no respect for the Word of God, so God feeds them with wind, to blow them off from the solid ground of truth. And because they are nothing but chaff, very light, and very fickle minded, when the wind or fan blows, which is nothing other than statements that lead away from the Word of God (the Bible), they are blown away from the foundation of truth. It took the chief a p o s t l e, R a y m o n d J a c k s o n, a s t h e foundation layer, to take the truths of William Branham, and with it, lay a serious, and solid platform of truth, and to give us a true understanding of W i l l i a m B r a n h a m ' s ministry and message, to give us a basis, a true foundation, by which we can move on, in the light, because there could be no moving on, when we ourselves were confused as to the truth. Are you with me? There is no moving on, when we are not truly established in the light of truth. We only thought we knew, but we did not know. T h a t i s w h y i n t h e movement, when they hold their Conventions, you see them carrying their bags of quotes. As one preacher is leaving the pulpit, another one is taking over, to tear down what the other one has just s a i d. A n d w h e n h e finishes, another one is coming with his own bag of quotes. And when he comes, he is coming to whack the last preacher on the head. And by the time they finish the Convention, w h a t b a b e l, w h a t confusion! Yet, they all believe the prophet, and they all quote the prophet, but they all take the same prophet to the north, south, east, west, southwest, north-east! Are you with me? So you know something is wrong! It took the chief apostle, Raymond Jackson, to show the way forward, and dispel the cloud of confusion prevailing in the movement, for the true seeds of God. As such, when the Third Pull started, it gave us strictly divine revelation. And it did not stop, because by divine revelation, we have access into the inner chamber, the Rock of Revealed Truth, where Page 27 Christ begins to reveal himself to the bride of Christ, in a serious divine revelation, that we may have a deep knowledge of Christ, and hence an e x c l u s i v e, i n t i m a t e relationship with him. That was why, in that chamber, came another voice, when the prophet passed away. Brother Branham passed away in December, 1965, but here came another voice in Saints, the subsequent voice, the chief apostolic voice, took us to the same Book of Genesis, and he took us all the way through the Bible, to the Book of Revelation. Halleluyah! By divine inspiration, he led us further and further in the light. Brothers and sisters, the stakes were raised up, because God used him to lift us higher, as we moved deeper in the Word, through time, in the continuity of revelation. But in December 2004, he died, but divine revelation did not stop. God called home the vessel, but Christ is still here, for the Spirit of truth is still here; the eagle anointing is still here, because the eagle anointing, don't forget, is the anointing of a flying eagle! It is always in motion! That lets you understand, that God is continuously dealing in

28 Page 28 time, with the bride, in divine revelation, for once that eagle anointing was released on the bride at the end time, God will continuously move the bride on, revelatorily. Divine revelation does not stop! As such, one vessel goes, another comes. So i n y e a r , G o d activated the ministry of John, the standard bearer for today. How do we know that? Look in your Bible! Apostle John took over from the chief apostle, Paul, in the first church age, just as Brother Branham also confirmed on page 76 of The Seven Church Ages Book: At the time of the giving of the Revelation (i.e. g i v i n g t h e B o o k o f Revelation), according to tradition, Paul had already died a martyr, B U T J O H N W A S CARRYING ON IN HIS STEAD EXACTLY AS PAUL HAD DONE IN THE D A Y S O F H I S MINISTRY. Absolutely! But remember this, the input of John still gives you nothing other than apostolic revelation. Are you with me? Because his ministry's revelatory input, is a continuation of the second phase of the Third Pull! But, if you want to talk of vessel phases, of the Third Pull, that is a different thing altogether, for you would then have to look at the breakdown of the Third Pull differently. Right now, we are strictly considering the three phases of the Third Pull, as the Spirit of the Lord dealt with the prophet. Thus far, we have been looking strictly at offices, or ministries, because you have Elijah, the apostles, and then, the Seven Thunders. But if you are looking at vessels, or vessel phases, then we will say we have four vessels, or four vessel p h a s e s : B r a n h a m, Jackson, John, and the T h u n d e r s. A r e y o u listening to me? If you want to look at the vessel phases, that gives you four vessels, because it gives you William Branham h i m s e l f, R a y m o n d Jackson, John, and the Thunders. But if you look at it strictly in the light of the dealership of the angel of the Lord, as the angel broke the Third Pull down, in the ministry of Brother Branham, it gives you only three phases. The first p h a s e i s E l i j a h ' s revelation. The second p h a s e i s a p o s t o l i c revelation, which gives y o u t h e i n p u t o f Raymond Jackson, and that of John of today. June 2007 And the third and final phase, is the Seven Thunders' revelation. Saints of God, the Third Pull therefore, is divine revelation, which comes in t h r e e g r e a t m i n i s t r y p h a s e s : E l i j a h ' s r e v e l a t i o n, a p o s t o l i c revelation (giving you the input of the chief apostle, Raymond Jackson, and that of John ), and the S e v e n T h u n d e r s ' revelation, which gives you the ministry of seven men, bearing a divine supernatural revelation, which is strictly unwritten r e v e l a t i o n, a b s o l u t e secrets, that will complete the Third Pull. Do not ever forget, the Third Pull is not complete, until we receive the unwritten revelation which the Seven Thunders will bear. Remember, the Thunders do not give us written revelation. They give us unwritten truths; total secrets buried in God's mind. Please pay close attention, as I wrap up. The first two phases, which are the first two great things of the Third Pull, Elijah, and the apostles, give us nothing but the revelation of those things which are written. That lets you know, brothers and sisters, in this current second phase,

29 June 2007 which is nothing other than apostolic revelation, we are going to appropriate every balance of written revelation that remains in this Scripture. Every S c r i p t u r a l n u g g e t remaining, will be unveiled to the bride of Christ. That is why I believe, today, before we move into the Thunders, we are going to know the particular specie of snake, that make up the Serpent family, in his present state, that is, his present identity within the reptile family. He has been in this state since he was judged, and transformed into a reptile. I say that b e c a u s e w e k n o w everything about the Serpent except that! We know his father, Satan. We know his seed, Cain. We know what he did in the Garden of Eden, and whom he impregnated, Eve. We even know whom he married, his half-sister, one of the daughters of Eve. I said he married his half-sister! We even know he was judged, and transformed precisely into a snake. We also know he was transformed along with his wife, Mrs. Serpent, in view of the fact that the Serpent will also be in the Millennium, in his present state, according to Isaiah 65:25! You have to realize, i t w o u l d h a v e b e e n impossible for him to be in the Millennium, if he could not reproduce himself, right from the day he was judged! Hence, you must k n o w, h i s w i f e w a s transformed along with him, to enable him to bring forth after his own kind! We know all that about the Serpent, except one thing: We do not know his present identity! We do not know the particular reptile specie that makes up the Serpent. Remember, the Serpent still remains out there, as one of the reptile families. Which one? We do not know. But I believe with all my heart, before we enter into unwritten truths, we will have that identity revealed. You know why? Because it forms a part of the balance of unrevealed written truth! Can I hear Amen?! But someone might still say: Oh Brother Amos, I don't think we are going to understand that one. I will also ask you: Why would God give us to understand everything about the Serpent, except just that one thing? Why would God even let us know his former profile, as God took the prophet in a spiritual vision, to see him stand in the Garden of Eden, on two feet, as an upright creature, if his present identity will forever remain Page 29 a m y s t e r y?! G o d ' s supernatural dealing with the prophet was how Brother Branham was able to come out with the revelation of the Serpent, that he was an upright creature in the beginning! I ask again: Why would God let us know his former identity, his former profile, and also know every other thing concerning him, e x c e p t h i s p r e s e n t identity? Yet, we know his present profile, for he is now a snake, but which one of the reptile family is the Serpent? That is the point! We even know that h e w i l l b e i n t h e Millennium, but he will not b e c h a n g e d b a c k, because he will still be eating food from the dust, i n t h e M i l l e n n i u m, according to Isaiah's prophecy! God will not restore him to his former estate, because of what he did! But church, the truth is, we do not know which particular specie of snake in the reptile family the old Serpent is. That is a fact! I believe with all my heart, that this is the day we are going to know it. How do you know that, Brother Amos? Because that is what the Third Pull is all about! It is about divine r e v e l a t i o n! I t i s supernatural revelation! It is the revelation of things

30 Page 30 you would not have known, except by divine dealership! You are not hearing me. That is precisely why the Third Pull is the climax of B r o t h e r B r a n h a m ' s ministry! You cannot go higher, because nothing beats divine revelation! That was why, in 1 Kings chapter 19, when Elijah the Tishbite was on the mount, the Bible says, the Lord came with a wind that broke the rocks, but the Bible also says, God was not in the wind. And again, the Spirit of the Lord came with fire, but God was not in the fire. The Bible says, Elijah did not even move for the supernatural fire. Then here came an earthquake. But the Bible also says, God was not in the earthquake! Yet all of those were manifestations of God's presence! But God is not a wind, nor a fire, nor an earthquake! But when Elijah heard the still small voice, which is divine revelation, then he bowed! But today, let somebody fall under any kind of anointing, and the people go berserk! They follow any sensation, any sign, any wonder. Men today are telling the world, they have the commission to anoint any gift, any socalled dormant gift in people's lives. They are inviting the world, telling the world, Come with your gifts. If your spirit gift has gone down, or something has covered it, we will pray for you, and instantly, it will come forth! That is what they say God has sent them to do! Where do you see that in the Ephesian Ministry?! And to think that t h e s e a r e p e o p l e supposedly following the message! Even Brother Branham did not say that, that God sent him to be anointing all sorts of spirit gifts to come forth! But church, the truth is that the elect bride, are the only ones that are following a true revelation. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying. It is most obvious, we need apostles to show the way, in this message. We do! It is most crucial to have them on the ground. Brethren, that is why I said, in this apostolic phase, this second phase of the Third P u l l, i s w h e n e v e r y revelation of truth that is written, which still remains to be unveiled, will be unveiled, because it will be unveiled before we move to unwritten truths. We will not have a balance of written truths that have not been appropriated, and then we s i m p l y m o v e t o t h e unwritten revelation of the June 2007 Thunders. That cannot be, for God is not wishy-washy! Before God would begin to teach you Algebra, you must know your 1, 2, 3's! One plus one, equals two; two plus two, equals four. If you do not know one plus one, then how can you learn Algebra? How are you going to do it? When you do not know one plus one, and they give you algebra equations, how are you going to solve it? You know, those equation signs do not have any meaning to a person like me. I do not understand those things. I do not know the meaning of all those signs! I tried it in High School, and I had a full result, the highest level of failure: F9, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. I had it in Mathematics, F9! My mother beat me so much for it, when I was a kid. The more she beat me, the more I failed it, because it just wasn't there in me! Are you with me?! It just wasn't there! I say all that to say this: Before we can move to unwritten truths, we will finish appropriating every balance of written truths, o r d a i n e d f o r o u r understanding and spiritual growth! And brothers, there is a balance of written truths we are yet to understand, particularly when you look at the Book

31 June 2007 of Revelation. Because there are some aspects of the Book of Revelation we have touched only in a measure. Who would ever have imagined that in Matthew 24:28, there was still something in there, a truth, that had not been t o u c h e d u p o n? Ye t, everybody in the message movement love quoting it: W h e r e s o e v e r t h e carcase is... We all know the quote. Even if you wake people in the Branham movement from the dead, they will say it. That is merely figurative! But look at the Wheresoever in that text. All through time, that was not decoded, until s o m e m o n t h s b a c k, towards the last quarter of 2006! Now we know there is Wheresoever. It has an application! Now we understand that verse in its prophetic depth, like we have never done before. And yet, brothers, it looked like we already knew all that was to be known in that chapter! Let me tell you this, and it should make you humble: Until God deals with you on something, it is easy to think you have it all. You do not! Don't ever limit God's Spirit. Just be humble. Open your heart. Follow the light, because church, every balance of written truths that remain, in this second phase, we will have it through John. And once that happens, o n c e t h a t i s f u l l y appropriated, we will then move into the third and final phase, of the Third Pull, and that third phase, gives you nothing other than unwritten revelation, things that are buried only in the mind of the Almighty God, things that Jesus said, Even the Son doesn't know; not even angels; only my Father knows. Brothers and sisters, when the time comes for the bride to enter into the third phase of the Third Pull, which is the climax of the Third Pull, God will anoint seven apostles, strictly with a prophetic anointing, to bear a prophetic revelation. Halleluyah! No, they are not seven prophets coming, they are seven apostles! If written truths did not come by any other fold of ministry in the New Testament, other than apostles, it is not unwritten truths that will come by a lesser fold. Let that soak in! For the Seven Thunders, God will choose seven men from among the apostles of today, to make it up. What does that show you? You will have more t h a n s e v e n m e n a s apostles, because it is a Universal ministry, to lead and instruct the Universal bride Ephesian ministry, Page 31 because they lead the way for the bride ministry! Saints of God, they are going to criss-cross this globe, as they deal revelatorily with the bride Universal, and also give direction and focus, to the Universal ministry of the bride. Amen. As such, they are going to be more than seven men. I ask, How many Continents do we have in the world? Seven Continents! Therefore, for the ministry of apostles to deal effectively with the Universal bride, you have to realize there will be more than seven apostles. Except you want to say God will choose one apostle from each Continent. And what a work for one man to handle, if we think, for example, in terms of the whole of Africa! Are you with me? Do you get my point? Alright. And I am n o t s a y i n g w e w i l l necessarily have more than one apostle from each Continent, because people have a way of extending statements! I am only showing you the picture of the bride world, in her geographical extent, to let you know we are going to have more than seven apostles! Period! They had more than seven apostles in the first church age! So it is not strange, if I say there will be more than seven apostles. Nevertheless, God alone knows how many

32 Page 32 He will have. But out of those apostles, we will have seven men that will make up the Seven Thunders. Full stop! They are seven men God has dependence upon, faithful men that God will use, to lead us into the T h u n d e r s ' u n w r i t t e n revelation. And once the revelation of the Thunders are given, we will go in the rapture. Church, with their message, we go in the rapture. So ask me now, When will the third phase of the Third Pull ignite? That is in year 2000 plus! We honestly do not know when. But when we look at Hosea 6:2 Two days, and Matthew 24:32-34 Fig tree, we know time is short. Remember, the revelation of the Fig tree, is the Nation of Israel. And when we see the on-goings today in the Middle East, and we know Israel is God's time piece, we know it is later than you think. But our translation will be in this h o u r, b e c a u s e t h i s Millennium belongs to Jesus Christ and his bride. In year 2000 and something, God will anoint the Seven Thunders. But you must also understand, the ministry of the Seven Thunders, is strictly for a very short space of time. Whatever time it is, that is what relates to the thirty minutes silence in heaven. That is what it translates to. It could translate to three months; it could translate to six months; I do not know, and it is not for me to know. That is buried in God's mind. But church, when the Thunders come on the scene, one thing we know for sure is, We will know certain things that no man has ever known through time, except one man. And that one man went to the grave with that revelation in his soul, and that man is John the beloved apostle. H a l l e l u y a h! C h u r c h, remember, the Third Pull s tarted w i th B r o ther Branham, but it did not end with him. It ends in the Thunders. And with the revelation of the Thunders, the revelation of the bride will be complete. Amen. And with that revelation, brothers and sisters, we will go up to heaven in the rapture. Therefore, I warn you, do not put a stop to revelation. Brother Branham did not preach it all. If he did, he would not have pointed us forward. He said, Because t h e r e i s s o m e t h i n g coming up close, so the thing for you to do, is remember, I speak to you in the name of the Lord, be prepared. Seven voices are coming with the revelation of the Seventh seal. What is he trying to tell you? Open your heart to continuity revelation, June 2007 b e c a u s e u n w r i t t e n revelation is even coming, beyond written revelation. Yet, after the prophet's input in the Third Pull, the second great thing, the second phase input, gives you apostolic revelation for today. Open your heart, and follow the light, for divine revelation continues. We are living in the days of the second great thing of the Third Pull. The days of the apostles are here, for apostles are already on the ground. And without the headship of apostles, without their revelatory input, nobody is going a n y w h e r e, a n d t h e movement will end up in a wreck! There will be no perfection! And neither will anyone appropriate the unwritten revelation input of the Thunders, for the Seven Thunders still give you nothing but seven apostles! That shows you, from the days of the chief apostle, Raymond Jackson, which began in 1966, until the rapture, it is the apostles leading the way, all through. I say again: These are days of apostles. Let us bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed). May the Lord bless you. Amen.

34 Page 34 June 2007 Testimonies on THE SCRIBE The following are a few excerpts from comments about the Scribe received from saints around the world. Hello my Brother, Just wanted to take a moment to say Hello and God Bless. Thank you so much for the Scribe Magazine. It is wonderful... I wanted to tell you thank you for the Scribe... It's meat in due season. Love you. Bro. Clarence Hester U.S.A. Dearest Brother, I perceive that something amazingly revelational is going on. The type of preaching coming from our pulpit these days at Restored Faith Assembly here in Port Harcourt, and again going by what I read of late from 'The Scribe' publications (I happen to come across them by chance), very much tells me that great things are happening in the Spirit realm. I would want to catch up on this continuity ministry of the hour and the ministry of John as it relates to the African race (the tabernacle of Ham). To this effect I would very much appreciate it if you could avail me with past copies of 'The Scribe magazine, and those wonderful books written by your amiable pastor (Bro. Amos Omoboriowo). Bro. Dim Amechi Port Harcourt, Nigeria Text Message (SMS): Dear Brother Amos, Every Truth seeking brother or sister would truly appreciate your ministry and the Scribe Magazines. The messages of continuity are made plain just as it was with the Contender in the days of Bro. Jackson. I am grateful to God for making me see this truth and with assurance now I can say I am one of the blessed of the Lord. Pastor Victor Cole-Showers Lagos, Nigeria

35 June 2007 Page 35 Dear Brother Amos, I've been receiving several copies of the Scribe in different titles as of late. Those that I was able to read I find edifying, but some of my other copies I was not able to read and are lost because some have taken it without my knowledge. When others see I have it but couldn't give to them, I would reluctantly seem selfish myself but since it is only one copy I couldn't give them away. Those who said they will just borrow, most often don't return them to me... It is for this reason I would like to ask for around 50 to 100 copies of each title so that I could also distribute to many of our ministering brethren churches up to the provinces. If 100 would be so burdensome, then please send just 50 each. I believe a small box could house all 7 titles of them 7 x 50 = 350 COPIES. Pastor Francis Chan Philippines Text Message (SMS): Perfect! Perfect, Bro. Amos! With this, we know that there is no VACCUM. May God keep you for us little flock. God bless you and your family richly, and the saints for a wonderful job. Bro. Marvellous Oguamalam Maiduguri, Nigeria Hello Bro. Amos, Glad to hear from you. Bro. Amos, I just want to send this letter to show my appreciation to you, and for work you are doing. May the Lord bless you. I want to thank God especially for The Scribe Magazine. In there I can just see how GOD is using you to unveil the Scriptures to us. After the death of Bro. Raymond Jackson, I thought that there are not gonna be leadership over the bride, because I have heard that people in the continuity have said that we have enough, we don't need anything anymore, we must just stick with what Bro. Raymond have said. But God have proved them wrong. I thank GOD for raising you up to take leadership over His Bride, and to feed her fresh manna for now. It's flying eagle time. GOD is in control. So I just want to thank GOD for The Scribe Magazine. Keep up the good work. May the LORD bless you. Pastor Ernest Scotsman South Africa Please write and let us know how the Lord is using the Scribe to bless your soul. We would love to hear from you.
