The Fullness Yet To Come

By Brother Emmanuel Martey

Knowing how we have been instructed in the message of the forerunner, William Branham, I felt rather to point the promise that God left us through his holy prophets, apostles and the second forerunner.

We know very well that William Branham foreran the SECOND COMING of Christ. And do you know the SECOND COMING of the LORD is in two-folds?

1) He comes as a thief, and this coming was sealed and hidden in the seventh seal, God allowing no one to know anything about it, not even the son himself, leave alone some angel or some man.

✝ Mark 13:32

"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."

✝ Revelation 16:15

"Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."

Naturally, when someone you might have known in your community wants to break into someone property as a thief, how will he enter in so that no one would recognize him? Certainly, he will disguise himself.

Do we ask ourselves how will Jesus Christ  come as a thief? Obviously, when he comes as a thief, surely, he will change his garment and facial appearance to appear differently, so that not even angels will recognize him, and because of that, many will be offended and will denounce him unknowingly.

That is what is happening among the Branhamite believers. As it was among the Jews so is it now.

In trying to fight against false teachers and false prophets, who rose from the message claiming that promise, we ignorantly go overboard to fight and denounce the works of God among us today. Quite serious and contemplative.

Don't forget that William Branham foreran the second coming of Christ, of which we ignorantly look up in the sky, expecting to see Christ coming on the clouds of heaven, which is the second phase of his twofolds coming.

Well, how are you expecting his second appearing? If you miss his appearing as a thief, then you will surely miss him when He appears on the clouds.

As I said earlier on, his coming as a thief is sealed in the seventh seal, God allowing no one to know anything about it, as William Branham testified in the seventh seal sermon, assuring us that it will be known in the appointed time. Here is what he says:

106 God’s great mystery, of how, it’s a secret. He kept it a secret. Nobody knowed nothing about it. Even the Angels didn’t understand it. See, He didn’t reveal it. That’s the reason, under our seventh mystery, when the Seventh Seal was opened, there was silence. Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said, “It’s not…Even the Son Himself don’t know when it’s going to happen.” See, God has this all to Himself. It’s a secret. And that’s the reason there was silence in Heaven for a space of a half hour, and seven thunders utter their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it, see, the Coming of the Lord. That’s one thing He hasn’t revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come. It’s a good thing that He doesn’t. No.

    63-0728 -  Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed, Rev. William Marrion Branham

Is not this quote from Branham's words quite clear? Does it really need any explanation of what it means. No, please. Let us be sincere.

"That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet. Of how He will come and when He will come."

Now, can those claiming that the prophet forerunner exhausted ALL THE MYSTERIES OF GOD tell us how Christ will come? Can they also tell us when He will come?

Because the seventh seal has the mystery of how His second coming will be and when it will. Many claim that he will appear in the clouds... Is that not the sixth seal?

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Mat 24:30

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Rev 1:7

When he comes with the clouds of heaven, every eye shall see him, and that is what the angels meant when they told the disciples of Jesus, as they guessed in the sky as he was taken from them, that he will come the same way he had gone, for the clouds of heaven had received him. But we speaking his coming as a thief according to the seventh seal... Every eye will not see him. No body knows how he comes.

Those who claim that ALL THE  MYSTERIES were revealed through William Branham, let them tell us how and when Christ comes.

✝ Revelation 10:7

"But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

142 Great signs in the heaven above, Angels coming in constellation! And scientists looking off at it, predicted months before it happened. There it was. There it’s in the magazine. Told months before it happened! Seven Angels come down, and said, “The complete revelation of the six-seal mystery of God would be unfolded.” And there it was just exactly like He said, predicted before it happened.

    63-0803E -  Influence, Rev. William Marrion Branham

How clear that is! Branham says that after preaching on the seven-sealed book. Those who have eyes anointed with eyesalve can see how the message and the scriptures dovetail. It is the six seals which were fully revealed, and that is the mystery that God had been unveiling to His prophets since the world began; through Branham, God winds that up. You finish what has been going on, not what has not started. The seventh seal mystery has never been unveiled to any one in any way since the world began, how could Branham finish what had not began?

"The mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to his servant the prophets"

The mystery to be finished by the seventh angel were the six-sealed mystery which were already declared to his servants the prophets to some extent.

The first four seals were declared to Zachariah the prophet, to Daniel, to Isaiah, Jesus himself spoke about them, and other prophets. The seventh angel came to finish their revelation.

The fifth seal was  declared to Daniel the prophet about the alter. The seventh angel came to finish it.

The sixth seal was declared to Isaiah, to Joel the  prophet, Jesus also declared it. The seventh angel came to finish it.

BUT, the seventh seal had not/never been declared to any prophet, not even to the Son of God, so how could Branham finish what had not been started?

The Prophet Branham himself publicly declared that the seven angels that came down from GOD ALMIGHTY had categorically told him how many seals he would finish.

So, Branham was the first person, being so close to the BRIDEGROOM, that God unfolded a small portion of the seventh seal to, leaving the loosed ends to be finished by the LORD HIMSELF when he comes as a thief in the night.

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. Luke 12:37

The Lord comes to gird himself and feed his elect at his second advent. He puts on garments of a servant, and serves us food in due season.

Now, may the good LORD JESUS CHRIST lead  us and give us understanding hearts to comprehend the mysteries surrounding the second coming of JESUS CHRIST as revealed in the opening of the seventh seal, even the END OF TIME SEAL.

304 That shows It’s from God, for, see, It fits exactly in the promises of God, from the end of the—the Message. You notice. Notice now, for the end-of-time Message, this Seal. After all, He—He has revealed all the six Seals, but He don’t say nothing about the Seventh. And the end-time Seal, when It starts, will be absolutely a total secret, according to the Bible, before knowing That. And remember, Revelation 10:1-7, 1 to 7, chapter 10:1 to 7, “At the end of the seventh angel’s Message, all the mysteries of God would be known.” We’re at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.

    63-0324E -  The Seventh Seal, Rev. William Marrion Branham

You can see from the quote above the seventh seal holds the mysteries of the second coming of JESUS CHRIST, so there was no way Bro Branham could open it, and he sincerely confessed it, that God did not unfold it to him, but our clergy and message  expositors, with no revelation at all, are trying their best to put words in the mouth of the prophet. Woe to them!

397 Now, we have, in the completion here now, by the grace of God, all the mysteries of the six Seals that’s been sealed up, and we understand and know here that the Seventh Seal is not to be known to the public. 398 Now, His Coming, at the hour of His Coming, when the destruction of the earth, you know. He said there, “What will be the sign of the coming of the end of the world?” In Matthew 24, there where they asked Him that question. He went down to that. He told about Israel being gathered as a nation, in the 31st verse, of Matthew 24:31. But then He started off on parables, see. Then you see the…“Learn a parable of the fig tree. When you see it putting forth its buds, why, you know spring is nigh. And then when you see this coming to pass, then know the time is nigh.” See, Israel gathering in its own homeland. But, you notice, He omitted the revelation of this Seventh Seal. 399 And here, when the Seventh Seal, when He opened It, He also omitted It again, see. So we see that It is a complete mystery, therefore the hour is not yet for the mystery to be known. Therefore, we’re this far, and the rest of It will be known right around about the time that Jesus appears on earth again, for His Bride, or whatever takes place at that time. Now, until that time, let’s just all pray, live good, straight, Christian lives, looking forward for His Coming.

    63-0324E -  The Seventh Seal, Rev. William Marrion Branham

Brother, notice the words of the prophet carefully, the mystery's in the seventh seal will be known round about the time when JESUS appears on the earth again! Not in heaven, but on earth!

Now let us begin to search his appearing on the earth again, and if we can prove it scripturally, then it means that JESUS has appeared and is loosing the seventh seal by the PROMISED THIRD PULL MINISTRY.

In Isaiah 61 verse two, we saw that HE (JESUS) was anointed to do TWO MAJOR WORKS.

1) TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD AND

2) THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD AND TO COMFORT ALL THAT MOURN.

In His first coming according to Luke 4:16-19, He came to fulfilled  Isaiah 61:2a. Before His first coming, John the Baptist foreran that ministry according to Malachi 3:1-5, and Matthew 11:7-11.

In fact,  John had a two-fold ministry:

He climaxed the Old Testament. In other words, he (John the Baptist) winded up the Old Testament dispensation, whose ministry is the SHADOW of the New Testament, which also is the earnest (IMAGE/PICTURE)  of the TRUE/PERFECT TESTAMENT TO BE REVEALED  FROM THE SEVENTH SEAL.

John the Baptist second ministry of his two folds was the introduction of JESUS CHRIST as the SAVIOR OF MANKIND, which opened the way for the New Testament dispensation.

We will focus our attention on the New Testament dispensation and the forerunner's ministry which prepared the way for the second coming of JESUS CHRIST, whose coming is in TWOFOLDS.

In His first coming, He came to give the New Testament saints HOPE OF SALVATION  OR EARNEST SALVATION.

✝ 1 Peter 1:3

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,"

You can see clearly from saint Peter's testimony that the new Testament church/saints were all begotten/saved unto a lively hope, and all the new Testament saints were kept by the power of God unto SALVATION ready  to  be revealed in  the last time.

You can read from verses 3-5

✝ Romans 8:24-25

"For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?"

✝ Romans 8:25

"But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."

In the mouths of two or three witnesses, let every WORD OF GOD BE ESTABLISHED.

Because the New Testament believes were saved by hope of salvation or by earnest salvation, first the apostles were sealed and given the earnest of the HOLY SPIRIT with gifts.

✝ 2 Corinthians 1:22

"Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."

If all the apostles were given the earnest of the HOLY SPIRIT, then what gospel did they preached? EARNEST GOSPEL!

What will be the reward of those who would hear their gospel? EARNEST REWARD/SALVATION!

✝ Ephesians 1:13

"In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,"

✝ Ephesians 1:13

"In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,"

✝ Ephesians 1:14

"Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory."

✝ Matthew 10:41

"He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward."

Brother, if the apostles received earnest of the HOLY SPIRIT, what will be the revelation of the WORD OF TRUTH to them?

Same thing! They received an earnest revelation of the WORD!

So, from the four gospels through the ACTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE APOSTLES (ACTS OF THE APOSTLES),  to the EPISTLES OF THE APOSTLES LIKE PAUL, JAMES, PETER, JOHN THE DIVINE AND JUDE. All that was revealed to them was in EARNEST FORM, HENCE THE PERFECTION THAT ALL THE NEW TESTAMENT SAINTS RECEIVED  from the revelation of ALL the books in the NEW TESTAMENT DISPENSATION is an earnest, not fullness.

The book of Revelation is NOT PART of the the earnest TESTAMENT please. It is a prophecy of the final work of perfection.

 Now, as John the Baptist was the fullness of the OLD (SHADOW) TESTAMENT AND THE FORERUNNER of the NEW  (EARNEST)  TESTAMENT, SO IS BRANHAM, THE FULLNESS of the NEW (EARNEST) TESTAMENT, AND THE FORERUNNER OF THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST, whose coming brings in the fullness of things.

Of this SECOND COMING, we have much to talk about in our next discussion. Shalom.
