Seventy weeks of Daniels Prophecy

DANIEL 9:21-27

21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking in prayer, even

the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the visionat the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly,

touched me about the time of the evening

oblation.

22 And he informed [me], and talked with me,

and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give

thee skill and understanding.

23 At the beginning of thy supplications the

commandment came forth, and I am come to

shew [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved:

therefore understand the matter, and consider

the vision.

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy

people and upon thy holy city, to finish the

transgression, and to make an end of sins, and

to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring

in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the

vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most

Holy.

25 Know therefore and understand, [that] from

the going forth of the commandment to restore

and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the

Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore

and two weeks: the street shall be built again,

and the wall, even in troublous times.

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall

Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the

people of the prince that shall come shall

destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end

thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end

of the war desolations are determined.

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many

for one week: and in the midst of the week he

shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to

cease, and for the overspreading of

abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even

until the consummation, and that determinedshall be poured upon the desolate.

REVELATION 11:1-3

1 And there was given me a reed like unto a

rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and

measure the temple of God, and the altar, and

them that worship therein.

2 But the court which is without the temple

leave out, and measure it not; for it is given

unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they

tread under foot forty [and] two months.

3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses,

and they shall prophesy a thousand two

hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in

sackcloth.

1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a

woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under

her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth,

and pained to be delivered.

3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven;

and behold a great red dragon, having seven headsand ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of

heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the

dragon stood before the woman which was ready to

be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was

born.

5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule

all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was

caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she

hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed

her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore

days.

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his

angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon

fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place foundany more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old

serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth

the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and

his angels were cast out with him.

REVELATION 13:1-5

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a

beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and

ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon

his heads the name of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his

mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave

him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to

death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the

world wondered after the beast.

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power

unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast,

saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to

make war with him?

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking

great things and blasphemies; and power was givenunto him to continue forty [and] two months.

E-26 Now, then oft in these visions He showed him just

where the nations would be standing. He showed them

how that there were so many years depended yet on the

Jews. He said the Messiah shall come. He will prophesy in

the seventieth week, which is three and a half years, and

in the midst of it He will be cut off, which is seven years.

Seventy weeks is determined for Thy people, seven years

approximately to the Jews. He said, "And Messiah, the


5/25


Prince shall come and prophesy in the midst of the seven

weeks, seven days, will he be cut off. In the abomination

maketh desolations will stand in its place, and they'll treaddown the walls of Jerusalem, Gentiles, for a time, time,

and dividing of time."

Now, when Messiah come, Jesus, He preached exactly

three and a half years and was cut off for a sacrifice. The

daily obligation was taken away and the desolate, the

abomination that maketh desolation, the Mosque of Omarwas stood today in the place of the holy temple. The

Mosque of Omar stands exactly where the temple stood.

And He said that they would tread down the walls of

Jerusalem, over Jerusalem, until the Gent--Gentile

dispensation be finished. But at the end of the Gentiles,

there would still be three and a half years yet to the Jews.

E-9 Now, many times, people say, "Brother Branham, you

feature Divine healing." No, that is wrong. I feature Jesus

Christ. See? Divine healing is a minor, and you can never

major with a minor. And Christ is our main subject, thenwe believe that Christ, Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that

He died for our sins, and rose again the third day,

according to the Scripture, and now sets at the right hand

of the majesty of God, being a High Priest, to make

intercessions upon our professions.

We--we're waiting, expecting Him to leave glory someday

to return to the earth, to resurrect the dead and to

translate those that are living into a glorified body to be

raptured in the sky, to live with Him for the space of three

and a half years, during the time of the tribulation period,

and to return back to a purified earth to live a thousand

years here on earth with His Church, and forever be with

108 What did he do? To seal up the vision and the

prophecy. Daniel had prophesied these things. He had saw

it in a vision, and the Angel come down to seal the vision

and to seal the prophecy; they can read it, but can't

understand it until the end time. The end time, what is the

end time? The end of the seventieth week, when that

prince, antichrist, will be revealed, at this time, making

himself God. How do we know this is sealed up to the

time? Daniel just got through... This is the last chapter of

Daniel.

The 144,000 don't appear there. They're over... They

appear, not in the 3rd chapter; they're on over in theScriptures farther. And now, we see that all this stuff was

to take place was over in this time of the seventieth week,

the last week. Now, if they've already had sixty-nine

weeks and lived it exactly the way God said they did, and

it happened exactly the way God said it would do, then

there's one more week promised to the Jews. Now,

brethren, just get ready. See, see? Listen how close we

are. Last week seven--the seventh years...

118 Now, Pentecostal brethren, how can you apply it all

over here in the Laodicean church age? They're--they'resleeping through every one of these ages, waiting. "And

we which are alive (the little remaining bunch over here),

remain alive until the coming of the Lord will not hinder

those which are asleep; for the trumpet of God shall

sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first; and we shall

be caught up together with them (Amen.)--with them

(here we are, meeting right here) to go to meet the Lordin the air. Amen, and there you are. Where we at? Right

here. Where did the Messiah get cut off? Exactly where

the Word said. Where will that seventieth week begin?

Exactly after this church is cut off. Then God returns to the

Jews.

Don't you remember that as soon as the church goes--thechurch goes, then the Jews take hold, come in. But first,

the next thing in order is not a mighty nation on a national

revival amongst the Gentiles. The next thing in order is

the coming of the Kingdom of God, the coming of Christ.

SUNDAY_61-0806

167 Now, you Protestants say, "Well, now that's it." But

just a minute. We find out that the Protestants has an

organization, and makes a confederation of churches--a

image to the beast, and go right with them. And we find

out here that the Jews are called in on this confederation.

Yes, sir. And they agree. And the Bible said they did.

And he makes a covenant with them, and in the midst of

the seventieth week, he breaks--the antichrist breaks his

covenant with the Jews, "thy people." Why? Now, when

you read in Revelations 11 that, "I'll send..." (That's 11;

you're coming over towards 19 now)--that He will send His

two prophets, and they'll prophesy in that time. And then

they'll get angry with these prophets and actually killthem. Is that right? And their dead bodies shall lay in the

spiritual street called Sodom and Gomorrah where our

Lord was crucified: Jerusalem. Is that right? And they'll lay

there for three days and nights. And after three days and

nights, the spirit of life will come into them, and they'll be

raised up and go into glory. A tenth part of the city fell at

that time. Is that right? See? What is that? In the middle ofthis last seventy years.


SUNDAY_61-0806

171 Now, these two prophets, what will they do? It's

Moses and Elijah. They'll rise on the scene. They'll tell

those Jews their mistake. And out of that Jewish bunch

that's there now to be the 144,000, God will call with

these prophets... What is it? The Spirit of Elijah off of this

Gentile church will just continue right on into that Jewish

church, go right on in and call Moses with him. Hallelujah.

You see it? And he'll preach the same message of


10/25

10

The Spoken Word

Pentecost to those Jews, that they rejected the Messiah.

Amen. You see it? It'll be the same Pentecostal messagethat these Jews will preach right over to them. And they'll

hate those Jews so bad till they'll kill them. And they were

hated by all nations, and in the midst of the week...

Because that they'd raised up a great powerful 144,000...

They had the Holy Ghost, and brother, you talk about

doing miracles; they did them. They stopped the heavens,

and it didn't rain in the days of their prophecy, smote the

earth with plagues as oft they wanted to. They give

plagues and everything else. They'll give them Romans a

hard way to go. But finally they'll be killed. Our God is a

terrible God when He's angry. But remember, that's over

in the seventieth week, and the church in glory. Amen.

The wedding supper's going on. Yes.

Now, notice. That's where we seen her coming back to the

millennial temple over here at the end of the Jewish age--

the anointed. Here He come riding on a white horse; those

followed Him on white horses (horse, powers), dressed in

white, blood--or vesture dipped in blood, wrote on Him,

"The Word of God." He cometh, the mighty Conqueror

(Yes, sir.) to set up the millennium--coming to the temple.

Glory. There He meets that 144,000.

173 Now, after that seventieth week here--the seventieth

week... This goes on during this seventieth week. And the

three in the middle of it, he breaks it, because he kills

those two Pentecostal prophets (Yes, sir.) that smites the

earth. And boy, He curses that church, and He burns herwith fire. And, why, she... We find it out that even the

shipmates standing out for the last laugh, "That great

immortal city of Rome, she come to her end in one hour."

She was blowed to pieces. God knows how to do things.

And one of the Angels looked over and said, "Why, the


11/25


11

blood of every martyr of Christ was found in her," for her

deceiving, going out here and organizing, and making allthis other kind of stuff, and polluting the church, and

brought them things in there, and martyred the very ones

that tried to uphold it and tried to bring them out. Glory.

Oh, I--I don't know. I--I--I feel like traveling on. See?


SUNDAY_61-0806

189 Now, if the sixty-nine weeks hit perfect, and the Jews

are in their homeland now, and the Gentile church age

has hit exactly to the end time, to the Nicolaitane time--or

to the Laodicean time, how close is the coming of the

Lord, the end of all things, the end of this age, and the

rapture? The moment He starts that seventieth week orseven years, the church is gone. Can you see it, friends?

Raise up your hand if you can see it.

See, now let's not be children. Let's not be playful

anymore. We're at the end time. Something's fixing to

happen. We're at the end. Here we are.

191 These sixty-nine weeks hit perfect; the going away ofthe Jews hit perfect; the church age hit perfect. We're at

the end time, the end time, the Laodicean church age, the

end of it. The star messengers all has preached their

message. It's gone out; we're just coasting. The Jews has

been coming back for forty years. They're in their

homeland. What's to happen next? The coming of the

Stone. There we are. What time will it happen? I don't

know. But, brother, that--for me, I want to be ready. I want

to have my clothes all ready.

Now, we just got just a--just a very few minutes, and I

wish you'd listen quietly now just for a minute. The


12/25

12

The Spoken Word

moment He starts the seventieth week, or seven years,

the church is gone. Now, listen. I'm quoting again,requoting, so you won't forget. This is what the Holy Spirit

put upon my pen while I was writing. We are in the

Laodicean age. The Christ is being rejected by His own

church. The star of this age, the Message has gone forth,

and Israel is in her land. You see where we're at? We're at

the end. Now just one or two more comments.


SUNDAY_61-0806

212 Now, then after that, I turned and looked, and I saw

this United States burning like a smolder; rocks had been

blowed up. And it was burning like a--a heap of fire in logs

or something that just set it afire; and looked as far as Icould see and she'd been blown up. And then the vision

left me. Five out of the three has happened--five out of the

seven, rather, has happened.

And here comes around and shows, and then I predicted...

I never said the Lord told me that, but standing that

morning in the church, I said, "The way progress..." I got

back to one end of the wall and run to the other end of the

wall, and I said, "The way progress is going on, I'll predict

that the time (I don't know why I'm saying it.)--but I

predict that that'll all happen between right now, 1933,

and 1977. And not knowing it, God knows my heart, I

never knowed it until yesterday, that 1977 is the jubilee,

and exactly the same amount of time run out that He givewith Israel and everything at the end. So we're at... And

here we are at the end of the age, at the coming in of the

seventieth week. We don't know what time that the

church will be gone. Oh, my. What can we do, friends?

Where are we at?


13/25

214 Do you see where we are now? Do you understand

Daniel's seventieth week now? See now, when we go oninto these Seals and things, breaking these Seals, the first

one comes forth a white horse rider, he's got a bow in his

hand. Watch who that guy is. Watch that pale horse ride

after him. See? Watch who it is, and look how he come in.

Watch those 144,000 come in. Watch that sleeping virgin

when she comes up. Then watch all these things take

place, the pouring out of the Vials, the Woes, the three

unclean spirits like frogs; watch those things how they fit

right in those plagues and exactly when they're poured

out. Every time a Seal opened, a plague pours out and a

destruction comes. And watch what takes place right now

at the end.

EVENING.MESSENGER_MESA.AZ V-8 N-5 WEDNESDAY_63-0116

132 Notice, if the Gentile church has to be taken away

first, for the Jews, then the end of the Seventy weeks of

Daniel takes place. The three and a half years Messiah

prophesied, and then He was cut off, the Prince, in the

middle of the seventieth week. And, then, there's threeand a half weeks left yet. And we find out two prophets of

Revelation (He never changes His coat again.), of

Revelations 11, comes down and prophesies to the Jews.

Now, the Church will be taken away at that time.

And we see Israel, the first time for several hundreds of

years, almost over two thousand years is now become anation; her own army, her own money. Israel is in the

homeland; her own nation, own flag, belonging to the

United Nations. She is a nation. Why, it's one of the

greatest signs that we could think of right now: Israel in

her homeland. And Jesus said, "This generation that sees


14/25

14

The Spoken Word

Israel go back to her homeland shall not pass until all has

been fulfilled." See, He spoke of this day.

FIRST.SEAL.THE_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318

149-1 {214} Now, look, Malachi 4. He's a prophet and

restores the original faith of the fathers. At the end time,

when the tribulation period comes... Now, here's a little

thing; we're going to reverse back a minute, where the

three and a half years or Daniel's seventy weeks (the last

half of Daniel's seventy weeks which is three and one-half

years.)... Now, we... How many remembers that from the

church ages? Sure, you see? There's seventy weeks

determined: look how perfect it was; said, "Messiah will

come, and He'll be cut off for a Sacrifice in the midst of

the week, and the obligation will cease."FIRST.SEAL.THE_JEFF.IN MONDAY_63-0318

150-2 {225} Now, just seventy weeks was determined,

perfectly, as Daniel said that Messiah would come and

would be cut off in the midst of the week. And Jesus

prophesied three and a half years. Now, in the middle of

this three and a half years of Daniel, in the middle of it Hewas cut off. And now the last part is the tribulation period

where the Gentile church is... Oh, this is great. Now,

don't...?... The Bride goes in with the Groom, then after

the millennium, walks out upon the ashes of the wicked.

FIRST.SEAL.THE_JEFF.IN MONDAY_63-0318

152-1 {232} During the tribulation period... Here's what I

want you to notice now, a little thing I dropped in here.

During this tribulation period, after the Bride has been

called out, and the church goes through the tribulation

period, the hundred and forty-four thousand is called by

the two witnesses of Revelations 11. Now, look, they'll


15/25


15

prophesy one thousand two hundred and threescore days

clothed in sackcloth.

FIFTH.SEAL.THE_JEFF.IN FRIDAY_63-0322

370-3 {297} Now, notice. These Jews... I have to do this

in order to--to let you see the revelation of this Seal, see

what it is, these souls under the altar and who they are.

Now, notice. In the time of Daniel, now, the second half ofthe seventieth week... Now, remember, Messiah was to be

cut off in the midst. That's the middle. Well, what's half of

seven? Three and a half. How long did Christ preach?

[Congregation answers: "Three and a half."--Ed.] That's

right. Now. But there's determined yet to the people what?

Another three and a half year.

SIXTH.SEAL.THE_ JEFF.IN SATURDAY_ 63-0323

420-1 {196} Oh, my. Do you see that? In there--Not the

Bride, isn't going to be out here laboring in the vineyards.

No, sir. She's the Bride. She's the Queen to the King. It's

the others that labor out there, the nation, not the Bride.

Amen.All right, notice these messengers now... These

messengers of the Revelations 12, these two prophets,

they're going to preach, "The Kingdom is at hand." See?

The Kingdom of heaven's to be set up. The time, last three

and one-half years of Daniel's seventieth week promised

to the Jews, His people...

Remember now, that to prove that, that this is Daniel's

last part of the seventieth week... I got a question on that

for tomorrow. See? Now, seventy weeks was promised,

which was seven years. And in the midst of the seven

weeks, the Messiah was to be cut off to be made a


16/25

16

The Spoken Word

Sacrifice. He would prophesy three and one-half years,

and then He'd be cut off for a sacrifice for the people, andthere is still a determination, that three and one-half years

is still determined for Israel.

SIXTH.SEAL.THE_JEFF.IN SATURDAY_63-0323

422-3 {210} Notice now, we find out that the time lasts, I

said three and one-half years of Daniel's seventy weeks.

Let me explain that a little closer now, 'cause I see

somebody here that's always watched that now; I want to

try to make myself clear: a teacher. Notice, when the

seventy weeks come in... When Daniel seen the vision of

the time coming and the ending up of the Jews... But he

said there was determined seventy weeks (That's seven

years), in the midst of it, why the Messiah would be here--or--and would be cut off for a sacrifice.

Now, that's exactly what taken place. Then God dealt with

the Gentiles till He took out a people for His Name. As

soon as the Gentile church is taken out, He taken up the

Church. And when He did, the sleeping virgin, the church

itself (The Bride went up.), and the church itself was put

into outer darkness, where there's weeping and wailing

and gnashing of teeth, and the same time the tribulation

falls upon that people.

422-5 {215} And while the tribulation's falling, in there

comes these two prophets of Revelations 11 to preach the

Gospel to them. And they preach a thousand, one hundred

and three score days. See? Well, that's exactly, with thirty

days in the month, like the real calendar has, is exactly

three and one-half years. That's Daniel's seventieth part--

last part of the seventieth week.

424-2 {227} The tribulation period's right at hand,

standing right here, and the Seals being opened, theChurch ready to take her flight in the air, and the

tribulation set in. Then God comes down and pulls the

hundred and forty-four thousand out of there. Amen.

There...

Oh, it's perfect. You see where the Seals bring it out now

(See?), open it up. Now, this is the last three and a halfyears to the people. Also, if you notice, it's the time that

God will call that one hundred and forty-four thousand

Jews in this last three and a half years.

See, He hasn't dealt with them at all. They haven't had a

prophet. They won't believe nothing else but a prophet.

You ain't fooling them. So they're going to hear a prophet(Yes, sir.); and that's all. The God told them that in the

beginning, and they stay right with it.

The Spoken Word

QA.ON.THE.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324M

492-5 {224} 18. When was the covenant of Daniel

9:27 confirmed for a week?

One half of it was confirmed, the covenant, when Jesus

Christ was on earth preaching to the Jews. He never went

to the Gentiles at all. And He told His disciples, "Don't goto the Gentiles"; that was to the Jews alone. See? And He

preached for three and a half years--that's half of the

seventy week, now, as Daniel said He would do.

Now remember, He was firmly a-vindicated to the Jews,

but their eyes were blinded to bring in this space of the

Gentiles. Can't you see the whole program? See? And Heproved Himself a prophet, done just exactly what the

prophet would do, showed them a sign of prophet; which

your own Word said, "If a man says he's spiritual or a

prophet, watch what he says; and if it comes to pass (just

keep on coming to pass, what He said, continually)...

493-2 {227} Like you look in the Bible, it says, "Knock,and it'll be opened, seek, find, ask, be given." Now, if

you'll notice, it's knocketh, just constantly knock [To

illustrate, Brother Branham repeatedly knocks upon the

pulpit--Ed.], stay right there like the unjust judge wouldn't

answer the woman, he just kept knocking on her door.

Saying, "I'm on your hand." Not seek, say, "Lord, I'd like to

have this. Amen." That's not it; stay right there till you getit. You know it's going to come. So He promised it, so just

stay right there till you hold onto it. See?

Now, now, in the last part, the seventieth week, the last

part of it will be during the time of the tribulation period,

after the rapture of the Church. Then there is the three


19/25


19

and a half years here that it will be confirmed to them

again by prophets (See?), Moses and Elijah: Revelations11.

518-3 {368} 46 Brother Branham, you said that

Rome would take the government of the Jews at the

last three and a half years. That is going... The--the

first three and one-half years of the tribulation or

will it be the last three and a half years? Is this

correct?

It will be the last three and one-half years (That's right.),

not the first, 'cause it's already passed. (Got one more

after this one.)

SEVENTH.SEAL.THE_JEFF.IN SUNDAY_63-0324E

536-6 {81} Now, now, we're going to speak here now on

this 7th chapter just a minute to--to kinda bridge it in

between Sixth and Seventh Seal, because that's the only

material that we have to go on right now, is the Sixth--

between the Sixth and Seventh Seal, is the calling out of

Israel.

Now, I have many fine Jehovah Witness friends sittinghere. It's all... Or have been. Maybe some of them's still

Jehovah Witness. But they've always applied (Mr. Russell

did.) this hundred and forty-four thousand to be in the

supernatural Bride of Christ. See? They... It's not. It has

nothing to do in the church age at all. They're absolutely

Israel. (Now, we're going to read in a few minutes.) Now,

this interval between the sixth--the Seals is a calling and

sealing of the hundred and forty-four thousand Jews called

in the tribulation period after the Church is gone. See? It

has nothing to do with the church age at all. Oh, called in

perfectly in harmony with the Scripture, Daniel's last three


21/25


21

and one half weeks allotted to Daniel's people. See? Not

the Gentiles, to Daniel's people, and Daniel was a Jew.

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 64-

0823M

952-Q-247 247 Brother Branham, here is a question that's

been sort of puzzling to several of us here. One on--on

(pardon me) on some tapes you speak only of the Jews

being saved after the Bride is raptured. (And it's a line

across.) Please explain fully about the Gentiles that don't

go in the rapture. I thought you said that the Gentiles that

were left went through the tribulation and gave their lives

for a testimony of Jesus. When He returns from the

Gentiles to the Jews--when He turns from the Gentiles to

the Jews, then there isn't any more chance for theGentiles being saved, just the Gentiles who have been

saved, but not received their last day truth will go in the

tribulation period and then be saved in the end. Is this

right? Please explain, because you said that there would

be just a small number go in the rapture. What about the

people that believed in the Lord--believes in the Lord now

and the way--and don't believe the way you preach forthis end-time-day Message? Will they be saved? And then

the sister signed her name.

Now, very good question. Now, the first place, the

confusion is, is what I have said about the Gentile's days

be done when the tribulation--in the tribulation. Now, I do

not see the Gentiles in the Bible... The Gentile Bride,Bride, not the Gentile church now, the Gentile church will

go through the tribulation period (See?), but not for their...

See, the Bride is the elected; they go through nothing but

the rapture. They're just changed and taken out of the

world. See? Now, I'll explain that in a further question

here, bringing it from Luther up, and you'll see then what

it means; it's the maturing of the body. See?

Now notice. Now, the Jews that's left is the one who will be

preached to by the two prophets, Elijah and Moses.

952-147 Now, this is my own thoughts, minister brethren,

in my own way that I feel the Holy Spirit has revealed to

me.

Now, the next thing is to happen is the Jewish--or the

Gentile elected Bride to be caught up with the rest of the

Gentile elected Bride that's been down through the ages--

be caught up in the Presence of Christ in the heavens. The

dead raises; the ones that's alive and remain is changed;

and they're caught up together in the air to meet the Lord.

Then, because...

After the wedding ceremony in glory, Jesus--after that has

caught up into the skies, Jesus returns onto the earth and

makes Hisself known to His people in the type of like

Joseph made hisself known to his brothers. And his wife,

no Gentile was present, nobody but Joseph alone, when he

made hisself known to his brethren. All understand thatnow?

953-150 He sent... Even his wife was in the palace, the

type that the Bride will be in the palace in glory at that

time. Then Jesus makes Hisself known to the Jews (See?)

after the wedding ceremony, the 3 1/2 years, and--and--

and Jacob's trouble, that 3 1/2 years, the end of theseventieth week of Daniel. The Messiah's to be cut off in

the midst of the... And He prophesied 3 1/2 years and was

cut off. Then there's 3 1/2 years left yet for the prophets

Moses and Elijah, and then at the end of their seventy

days as yet determined upon the people, as Daniel said;


23/25


23

then at the end of that seventy days, Jesus is to make

Hisself known to them. He's that Prince that should cometo the Jews. See?

953-151 Now, and then at that time... See, the Gentile

Bride is in heaven, and the sleeping virgin, the Gentile

virgin, is not to be saved during that time; she's already

been saved, but has been rejected in the Bride. And she

only goes through the tribulation period for the time ofpurification, because she has rejected Christ, the Word, for

her purification. Then she has to suffer for her deeds, but

the Bride who has become the Word, a complete

atonement was made of Christ, 'cause He is the Word.

That body was rended, and when that body was rended,

the Bride was in that body, because It's all the Word.

Amen. You see it?

No, no, no, you're... I wished that I could just have more

the church, then the church age will cease. Laodicea goes

into chaos; the Bride goes to glory; and the tribulation

period sets in upon the sleeping virgin for three and a half

167 Now, dear God, surely we're not a bunch of hybrid

Christians, we shouldn't be somebody that has to be

petted and babied. You don't have that kind, Lord. You

have rugged believers. The very Presence of God sets a

man's heart on fire. Like Abraham, he believed God. You

made Yourself known to him, then You appeared to him

and performed a sign, and he believed You. You turned his

body back to a young man, and also his wife, which, his

wife was part of his own body. Then come forth the new

child, the promised son.168 God, You promised that it'd be the same thing in this

day. I pray that You'll confirm this Word. And we'll deal

right on that one promise there, that it will be like it was in

Sodom, just before Sodom was burnt and judgment struck

Sodom, the Gentile world. So judgment is fixing to strike

the Gentile world, and the Jews got three and a half more

years through the period of Tribulation, Jacob's trouble,

the continuing of the seventy weeks of Daniel. But the

Gentiles' are numbered, it's time to go. And You give that

Now where will the Gentile Church be while Jesus is

making Himself known to His brethren? Remember that

the bride of Joseph with the two children were in the


25/25


25

palace, for Joseph had commanded, "Let everyone leave

me; put them all out from before me." So the Gentile bridewas hidden in the palace of Joseph. Where will the Gentile

Church go in the rapture? Into the palace. The bride will

be taken off the earth. She will be caught up before the

great tribulation to meet her Lord in the air. For three and

one-half years while the retributive wrath of God is poured

out, she will be in the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Then will He return, leaving His bride in "His Father's

house," while he makes Himself known to His brethren. At

this very time, the antichrist covenant that the Jews have

made with Rome will be broken. Rome and her allies then

send their troops to destroy all the God-fearing, Word-

abiding Jews. But as they come against the city to destroy

it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the coming

of the Son of Man with His mighty armies to destroy them

who have been destroying the earth. With the enemy

repulsed, Jesus then comes and presents Himself to the

144,000. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they

have come to know His power. But also seeing His wounds

and knowing that they had rejected Him even to that

moment, causes them to cry out in the agony of terrorand fear, even as did their brethren of old when they

stood before Joseph, being sore afraid that they would be

killed. But as Joseph said, "Don't be angry with yourselves.

It is all right. God was in it all. He did it to preserve life."

Even so will Jesus speak peace and love to them.
