21. Brother Branham’s brother Howard Branham dies.
22. Altar of Fire. [Ezekiel 1:26-29] [Appeared in California; during November 1957.]
BE NOT AFRAID IT IS I. LAKEPORT, CA 60-0720

E-5 (…) Looking at this platform, to some of my friends that's here, one of the deacons of our church, or trustees, rather, Brother Sothmann and them... That picture that was taken, was taken right here at this platform the last time I was there. How many's ever seen it? You mean not--only just a few, just the people right from home. Oh, it's one of the outstanding ones. The same Angel of the Lord that's been taken all over Germany and everywhere, was taken standing right here at this pulpit. And I happened to notice these flowers here. There was something like it setting in front here. And the man taking the picture from this side, and there It was just as perfect, our Lord as It could be.


THE MESSIAH. SHREVEPORT, LA 61-0117

E-74 I was preaching the other night on them four living creatures, trying to... And they were--they were not beasts, because the words in... They're living creatures. In Hebrew--in Revelations, 4th chapter, the--the word translated is "zoon: z-o-o-n" which means "living creatures." In Revelation 11 and Revelation 17 that's another name altogether, and it means--it means a "wild untamed beast." But this was living creatures.

What they were, they were cherubims, like was at the gate guarding the holy place. We see them in Ezekiel the 1st chapter, when the amber Light of God, and the rainbow was there, and the glory of God. Which we got a picture of It, the same way that they saw It there. We had a picture taken of It. And there It was, right in the building. Taken a picture of the Light (right), just exactly the way Ezekiel saw It. Ezekiel 1:26 to 28 shows you the picture of It, just like he saw the glory of God.
REVELATION. CHAPTER 4. PART 2.24. ELDERS. JEFF. IN ROJC 61-0101

151 Now, "He was to look upon as jasper and sardius stone." Let's turn back. I get... We got a little time, haven't we? We got about forty minutes yet. Let's notice; let's turn back to Ezekiel 1. Go back in the Bible to the Old Testament, unto Ezekiel, and let's read here where Ezekiel saw Him too, and compare these Scriptures now and see where we're at. Ezekiel the 1st chapter, all right, now let's read for a moment. I'm going to read the first five verses, and then we're going to read, I've got marked out here, from the 26th to 28. But let's read the first verses now of the 1st chapter of Ezekiel the prophet. All right.

And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, and in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month,... I was among the captives--among the captives by the river of Chebar,... (Is that right, Chebar? C-h-e-b-b-r, Chebar)... and the heavens were opened, and I saw a vision of God.

And ... (Now, watch.)... in the fifth day of the month, which is the month that king Jehoiachin's captive,

The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of... Chaldeans by the river of Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was... upon him.

And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north,...

152 Watch this prophet here, five hundred and ninety-five years before the coming of Christ; see how his vision compares with John's.

... a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud,... a fire unfolding itself, and the brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof was the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had a likeness of... man.

Notice the color of the Spirit of God which was above the likeness of these four Creatures, was amber. Amber is yellowish green. Now, watch: yellowish green, amber... Oh, He's the same yesterday... He revealed Hisself to Ezekiel in the midst of Ezekiel's vision. This Light that he saw coming above the four living Creatures was yellowish green. When He come to John, He appeared in the emerald which is also yellowish green. He comes now to the revelator in yellowish green. He comes to us in yellowish green, the Light. Walk in the Light; He is the Light.

Let's go to the 26th verse now, so we can read to the 28th. The 26th verse, "And above the..." Oh, when you get home, I want you to mark that and read every bit of it. Save time...

And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of stone, as the appearance of sardine stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness of the appearance of a man above... it. (That was the Son of man. See? Christ.)

Now, watch how He was--how He was arrayed here.



And I saw as the colors of amber,... (Watch, around this Son of man.)... as the appearance of a fire around about within it,... about within it, in it, from the appearance of his loins...

Listen. Be spiritual; be understanding, and in your own hearts here, I adjure you in Jesus' Name, keep this to yourself. But just remember how blessful. "I..." Let's start again in the 27th verse. Listen, everyone. Be real understanding now.



And I saw as the colour of amber... (That's yellowish green.)... as the appearance of fire around about... it,... (fire around the amberish green),... now from the appearance of his loins even upward,... (from his loins upward)... and from the appearance of his loins... downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had the brightness around about. (fire all around)

As the appearance of a bow and the color in the days of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness around about. This was the appearance and the likeness and the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

158 Watch. Are you ready? Listen. Keep this now, just remember, to let you know. (Gene, you can hold this tape.) Listen. (No, I don't have to hold it there; that's all right.) I mean just keep the tape; permit this to the church. Notice this. Now, that you might know that the color of the Light that's with the Lord, and the Lord's Light that follows the Lord, and this is the Lord, is amber, yellowish green. That's the same color of the Light that's with us today, as the scientists has took Its picture: yellowish green, amber.

When a little boy, and I seen It for my first time, you remember, the old-timers here. I always told you before the actual picture was taken, "It was yellowish green, which is amber." Now, to let you know that the Spirit of the Lord...

He said, when he seen it from the loins of the living Creature that stood in his Presence, "From his loins upward was like fire, a Light from his loins downward was covered with Light. And all around was many colors like unto a rainbow." Is that right?

I want you to remember, God still exists in the same colors, "from the loins upward, fire, amber color," shot with a movie camera or with a color camera, "amber from the loins up, from the loins down, and all around, many colors like is in the rainbow in the sky after a rain": Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. The Holy Spirit's still in His power, still in His church in this last day. There you are. Not me, I was just standing there, but it was a picture that was taken. I want you to look at that, just exactly what Ezekiel saw: same colors, the same way, and acted the same way, and flushed the same way, of the living Creatures. What is it? The living Creatures represent the living church, the church that's a living by the power and the resurrection of Christ. Them same amber colors has covered it from the loins upward, from the loins downward.

162 There's no more guessing; science has took the picture. Look at their colors; just look at the colors of fire in there (See?), the rainbow. Look at this yellowish-emerald color. Now, on this camera, it was just a straight photographer's camera. On this camera was color, colored pictures, Kodachrome color. Look at the emerald color in there. If I could get it over a light somewhere where you could see it in the back. Can you see now? "Like unto a rainbow," look at the streaks coming back and forth like the rainbow, every one a different color. We're going to get into that in a few minutes, what are those colors and what do they reflect?

Oh, that just makes my poor heart jump for joy. And to know that in this day that we're living, that Christ... When all other grounds is sinking sands, all other ground... I think, "Why can't I tell that? Why can't I make the world see it?" The world wasn't meant to see it. The world won't see it; they never will see it. But the church is receiving the mightiest shaking it ever had.
23. Joan of Arc, Saint Patrick and Saint Francis not Catholic.
I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK. JEFF. IN 57-1208

E-33 Saint Patrick hated the Catholic church and protested it. But after he was dead, they canonized him a saint. They never knew he was a saint till he was dead and gone.

They never knew that Saint Francis of Assisi was a saint. He protested the Catholic church. He was a walking preacher with a Bible under his arm. Went down to the river to preach and little starlings a hollering, he said, "Little sisters, hold your peace. I'm preaching the Word of God." And they shut up. But they didn't know that till he was dead a long time.

Joan of Arc, who saved France, the girl was a saint. She was spiritual. She saw visions. She was a spiritual woman. She heard Angels speaking to her. She heard the Voice of God. She saw a vision. What did they say? "She's a witch." And the Catholic church drove a stake down and drove her to it and burn her, them priests did, and her screaming for mercy.

Two hundred years later they realized she was a saint. So they done a lot of repentance. They dug up those priests' body who burnt her and throwed them in the river. That's a lot of repentance, of course. But they didn't know her until she had come and gone. Jesus said they could not believe, because Isaiah said they got eyes and can't see, ears and they can't hear.
24. Comments on movie the “Ten Commandments”.
Q & A. ON THE HOLY GHOST. JEFF. IN 59-1219

420-56 Did anybody in here ever see Cecil DeMille's "Ten Commandments"? Did you notice when the commandments was being written? How he caught it, I didn't know. There was two or three things that I seen in it that I really liked. First thing is that emerald light, that's exactly what It looks like. See? Another thing was when the commandment was written, and after it was over, did you notice flying away from that big Pillar of Fire, there was little licks of fire flying away? Did you notice that? Now, that's what I think this was at Pentecost. There appeared unto them, so they could see It. It didn't say, "There fell in them." But there appeared unto them licks (we'll call it), tongues, like tongue like this tongue here [Brother Branham demonstrates--Ed.], shape of the tongue, lick of fire. Now, ear--as I said, ear is ear; finger is finger. Finger don't mean you felt it; it mean it looked like a finger. And if it was a ear, it didn't mean they heard it; it looked like an ear. This was fire that looked like a tongue, not someone speaking, a fire that looked like a tongue.


THIRD EXODUS. JEFF. IN 63-0630M

35-2 Did you see Cecil DeMille's "Ten Commandments"? I guess many of you did. I don't believe in going to picture shows, all this stuff, but I recommend it to the church that anybody that... If they didn't have nothing but that, that wanted to see it. It would be all right if they wanted to see it, because I would not let... First, some of my brethren went; they come telling me. I hadn't been around one for many years; finally, I went down here, when it was at this drive-in; I looked at it. And I seen what it was, and then I said to the church, "If you want to go to see that, it's all right."


1958
1. Change in gift of discernment so as not to make Brother Branham tired.

[This first happened during a meeting in January of 1958 in Chicago.]


NEW MINISTRY WILLIAM BRANHAM. LOS ANGELES, CA 59-0406

E-18 And that night, when I come in, where I called, that woman was about the fourth person in line. Nobody knowed about it yet. And each time, when people comes, and I say to them, "I've never seen you before, have we?" Just find out. When I seen her come to the platform... That's been four years since the vision. But a very attractive little lady, packing the baby, and I thought, "I--I... Seem like I ought to know that lady." And she walked closer to me; she was packing the little one. And I said, "How do you do."

And she said,"Howdy do."

And the vision broke. And I said, "Your name is So-and-something," ever what it was. And said, "Your pastor has advised you to bring the baby, because it's dying."

She said, "That is right, sir."

And I said, "The baby is six months old and weighs three pounds."

She said, "That's right."

And I said, "What you put in the baby, can force into it, it doesn't stay in the baby. And the doctors can't find out what it is."

She said, "That is right, sir."

And I seen the little baby laughing, and jumping, and playing, a little child. I said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, the Lord has healed your baby."

E-19 She broke down to weeping. I thought there's something strange about that woman. And the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "Don't you remember her? the brown coat?" Oh, there it was. The change of ministry, right there.
ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE. CHICAGO, IL 59-0612

E-42 No, it's in my other Bible. When the Lord gave me a vision and said the change will be when a woman will come to the platform, how she'd be dressed, and would have a little baby that was uncurable, wrapped in a little blanket, and the baby would be healed. She'd be wearing a coat suit, and how she'd look, and all like that. And that would be the time that my ministry would change. How many's ever heard me say that? 'Course, for years. How many knows when it happened? Right down here in the Armory, when I was here the last time.

Walking across the floor, my wife, my daughter-in-law, and even Billy, and they were all there. And I seen this little woman a coming. I had a prayer line moving. And this little lady come, and I thought, "Well, I--I don't believe I... There's somewhere I've knowed that woman, but I can't quite place her." See, it'd been so long, five or six years. Though it lingers, yet, it will speak in its day.

Let's see, is the five over there, Billy? Billy? Is the five there? 1 to 5? 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 5--5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. All right.

And so, I looked around to find Billy. He wasn't on the platform. I looked for my wife. And her and Loyce, my daughter-in-law, they were looking some other way. And I seen what it was, it was the little woman. She had the baby. And she brought the baby up, prayed, and the Lord Jesus healed her, made her well--made the baby well. And Rosella, where you at? She was here to witness about the little baby. And so...

Here's how the story started. I went down to pray for the li--for the children that had been hurt in this Catholic school that burned. You remember the case? And remember, the Full Gospel Businessmen had a--a meeting there to offer prayer for the sick, and the sisters and them was in the hospitals.

And this little lady had went to her pastor. Rosella, am I right? Was that the Swedish Covenant church, or something she belonged to. And the doctors here in the city many of them, had give the little baby up. He couldn't live. And her pastor said, "Go see Brother Branham; God will hear his prayer." Now, if that man is present, God bless you, brother, for that, 'cause you did something for that lady. And so, the... If I'm telling the story right, you follow me. And so they... That night when the...

That afternoon, I just made a congregational prayer for the little sick fellows in the hospital and the sisters that was hurt, and I left. And the little lady was crying, because she had to go home. The father was baby-setting with one or two more children. And so, the... I believe Rosella seen her crying, or something. And they said, "Well, why don't Brother Branham..."

She said, "I brought the baby. The... My pastor told me to come have Brother Branham pray for it." And said, "The doctors has give it up." Said, "But he never prayed for the sick."

And she said, "That'll be tonight. That was for the school, today."

And so she said, "But I can't stay."

E-46 And I believe one of the ushers held the baby, or something, while she went and made a call to her husband. Her husband sweetly said, "Well, go ahead, honey, stay."

So Rosella said, "Now, I tell you. Usually, Brother Branham's son, Billy Paul, gives out the cards." Said, "You stand there at the door, and he will tell you were to go." And said, "You tell him you want a card." So Rosella helped her, and Billy gave her a card.

And that night... I don't think she was in the discernment line, she was just coming down along the line. But however, I... When she come in, I seen the little baby, and I thought, "Wait a minute: Dress like that? I know that baby."

Brother Gene Goad, setting here, up in New Hampshire last spring, there was a lady come on the platform packing a baby. Now, he said, "Brother Branham, wasn't that that lady?"

I said, "No, that wasn't her." We'd been looking for about four or five years for her. And I said, "That wasn't her." I said, "Because this woman was a... It had... It was blond headed, and she was tall, and dressed different, the baby was older." And this was a little bitty baby, real, real sick.

And so, when the lady come up, the Holy Spirit begin to move, and said that the--the doctors had give the baby up, begin to tell all the history of the baby, as He usually does, and told her that her little baby couldn't eat anything. Every time it would eat, I believe (Is that right?), it would throw it up. And it was so many months old, and only weighed just two or three pounds, or something. And if it did stay in the stomach, it went right through it as a dysentery. And they... It was in a terrible shape. But the Holy Spirit spoke out, THUS SAITH THE LORD, the baby's healed.

And I looked to see where Billy was; I couldn't see him to make him understand. So I said, "I'll just wait and see how blind they are, if they was as blind as I was." So went on.

And after we started home that night, got in the car. My sis--my daughter-in-law said, "Did you notice that sweet little baby on the platform?" She said, "It was the cutest little thing. And so sick."

Wife said, "I noticed that baby."

And I thought, "Now, they'll name it." I let it go on. They never named it.

Next day, we was going home, and I couldn't get out of Chicago till noon. My car froze up, and I had to get it thawed out. And it was about noon 'fore I got to leave. And going down the road, the wife said, "Billy, did you notice that little baby last night? Wasn't that the sweetest little thing?"

I said, "Yes, it was." and just went on. And she's kept passing by it again. I said, "Honey, did you know anything, any special about that baby and mother?"

Said, "No, I don't think so."

I said, "You remember about five years ago, a little woman to be dressed with a coat suit on."

She said, "That was it?"

I said, "Just exactly. That was it." And my daughter-in-law and son, later we caught up with them and went in to have our--our night's supper; we call it. And so, we went in to have our supper. And the--and Loyce named about the baby again. And I mentioned to her.

And Billy said, "That was right, daddy. That was that baby, wasn't it."

"Yes."

E-50 And from that, the thing's changed. Everybody... I can bring here, haul them up and pray for them. That doesn't matter. And every one... Sometime along the line, the Holy Spirit will stop me, and say, "Talk to this one." And then usually, if I've had discernment on one, I couldn't have no more. Every time I met a person, it'd be the same thing. But now it isn't. See? I can have, maybe, go along, and something has to be, I see somebody look like they're going to need it, the Holy Spirit will sometimes talk, stop, speak to them. Then maybe It'll leave me completely. And maybe It'll go way on down somewhere else, maybe somebody else, maybe discouraged or something; It'll stop, tell them. Then completely leave me.



And I rest up between those times (You see?), so I can make an altar call. Oh, it's--it's way different than it used to be. That way, I can pray for every one of them, every person. And my meeting has been revolutionized, because the thing the people here thought, "There's not enough gets prayed for." Well, I couldn't help it. When I'd have discernment for one, He'd bounce right to another, and then I just couldn't come away from It. But now It does. It just leaves me, and goes on (You see?), 'cause God takes a notion to say something. Oh, that's much better.
2. Going home of Brother Bosworth. [January 1958]
WHO IS THIS. JEFF. IN 59-0510E

E-18 And what caused me to say that, I was speaking of Brother Bosworth. When I went to see that old saint, when we heard he was dying, eighty-something years old... The wife and I going down to--there to see him before he died, I just had to say something to him. I like to watch saints when they're entering glory. And I had to see him. And we burnt the tires off of the car.

But when I got there and rushed into the door, in the little corner laid that old patriarch. He raised his head up when he seen me coming, his old feeble arms hung out with the flesh hanging down, and he reached his arms for me. And I grabbed him around the neck and screamed, "My Father, my Father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof." For he was a sainted godly man.

And I said, "Brother Bosworth, I want to ask you something. Do you believe that you'll get well?"

He said, "Why, I'm not even sick."

I said, "Well, what's the matter?"

He said, "I'm going home." He said, "I'm tired, and I'm wore out; and I just want to go home."

I said, "Then you realize you're dying?" I said, "I want to ask you something. Back down through the seventy-some-odd years of ministry, what has been your most glorious minute? Could you speak to me, sir, and tell me what experience you had down along the line that you could count your greatest hour?"

E-19 If I shall live to see his age, I'd never forget, as those dark eyes caught me over the top of those glasses. He said, "My dear brother, this is the greatest moment of my life. I can't think of any time that was any more glorious than right now."

I looked him in the face, and I said, "Sir, do you still know that you're dying?"

He said, "Brother Branham, I'm laying here waiting every minute for Him to open that door and come take me home with Him."

That's the way to die. That's the way to go. And as you know, that about two hours before he died, he was--been laying in a coma for over two days. And when he come to himself, he raised up in the room, and begin to speak to his wife. Then all of a sudden, he seemed to be transparent. And he was--shook hands for a solid hour or more, with friends who's been dead for forty or fifty years, who was his converts in his church, shook hands with his mother and with his daddy until he was--life was left his body. Laid down on the pillow and went to sleep in the arms of the Lord Jesus. There's nothing like serving Him, expecting Him.

And as I talked to this man about this, and told that experience, I said this; I said, "Sir, oh, won't it be glorious when we see Him? Oh, if He would come today."

He said, "Brother Branham, don't scare the people like that."

I said, "What do you mean?"

He said, "Oh, don't try to tell people that the world's coming, or Christ is coming. It wearies them."

"Oh," I said, "no, I beg your pardon. To those who are looking for Him, it's the most glorious news that they could hear, that Jesus is just about to break through and to take His Church."

Old age will be changed for you. Joy will be given in the stead of gloom. Life will be given in the stead of death. Immortality for morality will be exchanged. Oh, what a moment to know that He shall come.


WHAT WENT YE OUT TO SEE. UTICA, IN 59-1001

E-5 I just heard the testimony Brother Graham give about Brother Busty. That's Brother Roger, Sister Creech's father. He's operated a few days ago, and they found cancer, and they just sewed him up. So let's continually pray for him.

But one of the sweetest things. Brother Creech had called me to go and to see him, and I didn't know he was in the hospital. And when I went in the room, he said, "Brother Bill," he said, "I've often heard you all speak about laying hands on somebody."

And I said, "Yes, Busty." I called him Busty; it's a nickname that... Really his name is Everett. And I said, "Yes."

He said, "I just know why I come in here." He said, "He's been with me ever since I come in." He said, "And Something laid Its hands on me awhile ago." And over in the corner, he saw a rainbow. Right then you'd know that Something's moving up close to the hour.

But the grace of God to that... I'm not saying this because it's Sister Creech's father, but he's a fine man. I think I baptized him years ago into the Name of the Lord Jesus. But he never did become that real consecrated borned again experience that we like to see, Brother Graham. But that's when it happened, there in the hospital. He's a changed man. The grace of God Who--Who ordained him to Eternal Life gave a rainbow, and a rainbow's a covenant, keeping His covenant with him. And he's ready to go. So happy for that. He's a veteran of the First World War.

And awhile ago, or this morning, rather, I was called to an old friend. I didn't... had a hard time finding her. Many of you remember Mrs. Morse downtown. Brother Ruddell just visit there awhile ago. And she's been unconscious for several days, and she's just calling all the time. And when I got in there, she's called my name when I went in. Said, "Billy's a good boy." Said, "He had a hard time." Said, "I--I wanted to see him before I go." And she'd wait just a minute and say, "I... Have you ever seen him yet? I--I want to see Billy." In a few minutes, she spoke to her husband that was gone on, oh, forty, fifty years ago. Talked to him, and begin to talk to her loved ones. You know what that means, that it's just near the gate.

And isn't that strange? Even blind as she can be; she's in a world of darkness. She's ninety years old, right at ninety, about eighty-nine and something. And now, yet, her eyes is so close to the other side, till she can see the--the objects on the other side, and can't see them on this side. Did you ever think of that, watch a loved one when they come down to the end of the road, watch them.

Old Brother Bosworth, an old associate of mine. I rushed down to Florida to see him, Meda and I, about two years ago when he was dying, nearly ni... eighty something, eighty-four I believe. He'd just come from Africa with me on a meeting. There laid this godly old man in a little corner. I walked in. I... Them little old arms reached out for me, an old veteran of about seventy years of preaching. And I got him in my arms like that and I screamed, "My Father, my Father, the chariots of Israel, and the horsemen thereof." And I set down on the side of the bed with him, put his head over on my shoulder, and I.

He come and was patting me, and he said, "Son," said, "don't fail. Hit them fields quickly, 'cause we haven't got much time."

I said, "You realize you're going?"

Said, "Yes, I'm going. Just pretty soon." And he said, "I want to tell you something, Brother Branham. This is the happiest time of all my life."

And I said, "Why would you say that, Brother Bosworth, and you--you're dying."

"Why," he said, "any minute, I'm looking for Him to come in the door to get me, the One that I've loved all these years."

I... We left him, wife and I. And then when we went back... About a hour or two before he died, he was sleeping. And he woke up, looked in the room; he said, "Dad." Raised up in his strength and shook hands with his daddy, with his mother. He said, "Here's Brother John. He was converted in my meeting fifty years ago. Here's So-and-so." Shook hands with his converts that had been gone for years and years.

E-9 What happens then, friends? I think that we don't realize just what this is all about. Sometimes I wonder, even if when we come to meeting to worship, if we haven't got the... kind of a wrong impression, to think that we come merely to meet together as... That's good. It has its purpose. Or to rejoice and have a good time, that has its purpose. But we're in a preparation. We're preparing for something.

And I've said this several times, that might be good to make it again. As I begin to get older, and begin to see that my days is shortening, I begin to think of this life in a way, Brother Graham, like it was--it was a nightmare I been having. Many of us here has dreamed, and got in a serious dream. You try to fight yourself. Many of you's done that. I've done it many a time, trying to wake yourself up. Somehow you know that you are asleep.

And I feel that's about like life is. Just about time we think we're straightened out and everything's going to be fine, then something comes along and knocks it out again.
