The Book Returns to Man: How the Bride Becomes God's Voice on Earth
God's original purpose for mankind was to exercise dominion on earth through the spoken word, a position lost through Adam's fall but now being restored to the Bride of Christ. Through redemption, we are regaining our position as "amateur gods" with authority to speak God's word and see His creative power manifest in our families and spheres of influence.
• Adam was "God of the earth" with authority to command nature through the spoken word
• When Adam fell, he lost his godship, sonship, and domain, transferring his authority to Satan
• The book in Revelation 5 represents the title deed to earth that Adam lost
• Christ alone was worthy to take this book and break its seals, restoring what Adam lost
• In Revelation 10, this open book is delivered to John, representing the Bride receiving back authority
• The mystery of God being finished is the restoration of the spoken word authority to believers
• Fathers must first exercise this authority in their families before attempting to lead in ministry
• Marriage is a sacred, unbreakable covenant, with divorce not an option for believers
• We must teach our children to avoid the mistakes of previous generations
Greetings Bible believers and followers of the End Time Message. Welcome to another episode of the Jason DeMars Podcast, the place where we explore the incredible mysteries hidden within the pages of the Bible. I'm your host, jason DeMars. It's time to get started on another journey into the heart of God's Word. If it's your desire to grow in revelation and see the message in the light of the Bible, you're in the right place. Today, brothers and sisters, we delve into the Scripture, guided by the extraordinary revelations that God chose to unveil through Brother William Marion Branham, a messenger with a unique calling to fulfill Malachi 4 and Revelation 10-7 and unlock the secrets of the end time message. Our purpose isn't to have another basic Bible study. We're going to dig deep and peel back the layers of prophecy, decoding the signs and perhaps discovering how the Bible resonates within the very fabric of our present day and time. In this podcast, my purpose is to help you grow in your faith through solid Bible teaching, through the lens of the message of Malachi 4. So grab your Bible, a cup of coffee and let's get started. And remember that your feedback, testimonies, questions and prayer requests are always welcome. Please send them on social media or at jasondemarscom. With that said, let's get into today's podcast. That said, let's get into today's podcast. God bless you everyone.
Speaker 1:I'm Jason DeMars. Welcome to the podcast. It's been a while since I've recorded. I think last time I recorded I was in Egypt in April. We've got a lot of changes going on right now and some adjustments. You probably could see that I'm recording a little bit differently here in my office and that my microphone is a little different here, looking to have a little bit more of a mobile setup as compared to what I had before, something a little bit more efficient. I hope it still accomplishes the purpose that we want, which is to encourage your faith, and that it is not too distracting to where you can't hear and can't pay attention. I got some feedback as well over the last little while, some very positive feedback, people saying they felt spiritually fed and blessed by the podcast, that they listen all the time. If you do that, if you're a person that listens, listens, please would love to get your feedback specifically on each episode regarding the topics, would love to get your likes and subscribes and, if you're listening on Apple Podcasts, if you would give the podcast a review. I would greatly appreciate that. That all helps with the algorithm helps spread the word to others, so I appreciate you doing that.
Speaker 1:I'm going to start on a topic that I want to entitle the Mystery of God. It's always a little hard to reason out what I'm going to do on the podcast versus what I'm going to preach in the church, and I have a message that I'm feeling led of the Lord to preach in the church, but it's also something that I want to present in the podcast. But it's two different ways of presenting things. And, of course, I'm sitting alone in my office at home and so I always pray before I start and ask the Lord to help me and anoint me. But it's not the same as when you're preaching in a service and people are pulling and amening the word and it comes out completely different. Usually in those circumstances We've slowed down a little bit in the travel Up through April.
Speaker 1:In 13 months I had done eight trips, and not only, not to mention trips throughout United States and Canada during that time, and so I really got to the place where I felt quite burnt out under a lot of stress and a lot of pressure. Stresher, I think that means that it was pressure and stress combined into one, and so I've been. I've slowed down, just went up to Edmonton, canada, in June for more, for a break although I preached there as well, brought my family with, and so we're kind of taking things easy right now and ministering in the local church as well as, lord willing, have a trip to Norway in early October. We're also in the process of listing our home and selling our home as well. So keep us and remember us in prayer. There's a number of things on my heart and I'm just praying the Lord helps me to be able to get this out.
Speaker 1:I know, the last time I did a podcast, I titled it you Are Elohim, speaking of Our Inheritance, and went through a number of scriptures, and this subject, in a number of ways, lines up with that. You know, if we look at and the reason why I'm titling it the Mystery of God is because, if you look at, in Revelation 10, verse 7, it says 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 it hath been declared to his servants, the prophets, so the mystery of God should be finished. And so it doesn't say the mystery of God should be revealed, but that the mystery of God was revealed to his servants, the prophets. But it's not so much that it would be revealed, but that this would be finished. So when we're looking at something that's finished, we're understanding that it's been a process through time, and so the mystery of God is a process that God is working on through time. I believe it's connected to his threefold purpose. Christ is the mystery of God revealed, and it's in three parts, as we know. It's God revealed in Christ. This is God's purpose that he had in the back of his mind Since the foundation of the world. God revealed in fullness in Christ. Two, god revealed in fullness in the bride in order to gain preeminence, and a return back to Eden. And so we have those three parts there. And so when we're looking at a return back to Eden, what are we looking at? And I believe that this is where you are. Elohim that we spoke about last time really begins to tie in with this subject. Let's look at Genesis 3, 22 through 24.
Speaker 1:One of the things of feedback that I got from someone was that I needed to look into the camera, that they felt very uncomfortable with me constantly looking down. Well, I'm doing my best. I will try to focus on that, but I have my notes over here so I'm not sure what to do. So I need to refer to the Scriptures and to my notes, but when I'm not doing that, I want to make sure that I'm looking so that it could be. I want to have that connection with you, even though this is a podcast, even though this is a recording, even though I'm not seeing you but you're seeing me. I still want to have that through my eyes, a heart connection with you, through my eyes, a heart connection with you. With that said, once again, man, I appreciate your feedback. You know there's been a lot of feedback on YouTube. Different people have been commenting and I appreciate that. I want to thank you for that. Please keep it coming. It helps me to know what's hitting home, what I need to focus on more, what you'd like to talk about Now.
Speaker 1:Looking up at this whole picture, god's original purpose he made man in his own likeness and in his own image and the image of God, created he him Male and female, created he them. Then he put them into bodies, and we know the process. He first put Adam. He emphasized on Adam's aloneness. He brought the animals before them. Adam then saw his aloneness emphasized because there was two of each kind, male and female, but for him it was just him. And so God said it's not good, the one thing in all of creation that's not good which was man being alone. So I'll make a help meet from him being alone. So I'll make a help meet from him. So he put Adam to sleep, took from Adam's side and made Adam number two, because he called them both Adam, the female Adam and the male Adam together in oneness. He says this shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man. So the definition of the word woman means taken out of man. And so then we understand what God's purpose is is to multiply and replenish the earth.
Speaker 1:In spoken words, the original seed, brother Branham, says that they would have mingled themselves together and brought forth children. That was God's purpose for them. But we also have to remember it wasn't to be by sexual pleasure that they were to be brought forth, but it was supposed to be spoken word. They didn't wait until the time of life was to come, as that spoken word is, the original seed message tells us. They didn't wait until the time of life, but they did it outside of god's timing and purpose, by sexual pleasure, and so in all of that, then we understand that the deception was to eve.
Speaker 1:If you eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you'll be as Elohim, knowing both good and evil. And the amazing part is that they already were like Elohim. In fact, we're told that they were made in the image and likeness of God. Brother Branham talks about this in Questions and Answers on Genesis God unfolding himself. God is a spirit covers all space and time. But then he unfolded himself down into the Logos which went out of God, which is the Son of God, prefiguration of the Son of God, which was to be born on earth, and that Logos then unfolded himself a little further into man, and so part of the unfolding of God, of Elohim, was down into Logos, then down into man.
Speaker 1:So really, when we look at that this is the expression of Elohim on earth was man and woman together, and so they were to take dominion and multiply what? Multiply the image and likeness? By what? Sexual pleasure? No, by the spoken word of God. By the spoken word of God. Those spoken word children coming together would bring forth those children, and so I got to get better at not getting distracted at little notifications that come up. So we praise the Lord for his goodness All right now.
Speaker 1:Genesis 3, 22 through 24. The Lord, god, said so. He drove out the man and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life. So man is driven out of paradise, and I want you to understand this. What ended up happening is Adam is losing his position and that God is separating his presence from earth. That which Adam was before the fall was taken away from him after the fall, and so death ensues and separation ensues. It's not that there is a little wrought iron fence surrounding the Garden of Eden and there's a big gate there and there's a cherubim standing at the gate preventing anyone from entering that. There's no place like that here on earth. And in fact we already know from the book of Revelation that the tree of life is still in the midst of the paradise of God, of the paradise of God. So there's still that division there. But he says I will give to you to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Those are the overcomers. They will get the right to eat from that tree of life. And so critical to understand that and to catch that revelation. So when Adam lost his position, he lost his place.
Speaker 1:The next scripture I want to put in your mind, because this is connected, is Revelation 5.1. And I saw, in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals Amen, amen, all right. Now I want to start tying this all together. In Adoption number four, brother Branham says and now this may just choke you to death, but did you know that the men that are sons of God are amateur gods? How many ever know that? How many knows that? Jesus said so. The Bible said. Jesus said did not your law say itself that you are gods? And if you call them gods which God said in Genesis 2, that they were gods because they had full domain over the dominion of the world. He gave him dominion over all things. And so right, let me keep reading.
Speaker 1:And he lost his godship, he lost his sonship, he lost his domain and satan took it over. But, brother, we're waiting for the manifestations of the sons of god, who will come back and take it over, waiting for the fullness of time, when the pyramid gets up to the top, when the full sons of God will be manifested, when the power of God will walk out, hallelujah, and will take over, take every power that Satan's got away from him. Yes, sir, it belongs to him. All right. So there he's. He lost his godship, he lost his sonship, he lost his domain. So when he's driven from the Garden of Eden, that is him losing his domain, losing his position. Heaven and earth now are separated from each other. Paradise is another dimension from earth, it's not one anymore. We'll continue reading.
Speaker 1:Brother Branham, in blasphemous name, says but God, especially upon Adam, breathed the breath of eternal life and he become an eternal person with God. He had power like God. He was an amateur God, listen, he was God of the earth, not God of heaven. Now God of the earth. So Adam was God on earth, he was Elohim on earth. And he says. Brother Branham continues and someday the sons of God will again become gods. Jesus said so Is not it written in your law? You are gods. Then if you call those who he called God, who God visited, how can you condemn me, say, when I say I'm the son of God. See, now we're getting into something deep. Now watch this when we drive it down. So Adam lost that position of being Elohim on the earth. God on the earth, god on the earth. So he wasn't merely an amateur God though he was. He wasn't a God, he was God on the earth. Right, that was his position, brother Branham says in the fall, when he was driven from the Garden of Eden, he lost his godship, he lost his sonship and he lost his domain. And that's where Satan took it over and became the prince of the power of the air.
Speaker 1:Psalm 82.6 says I have said this is what Jesus is referencing ye are gods. Now I want to read this verse, because our English term gods means an object of worship. In the Old Testament, the scripture is not meaning the same thing, and we'll read it. I have said you are Elohim and all of you are children of the Most High. And so where do we first see the word Elohim, the very first word of the Bible?
Speaker 1:In the beginning, god Elohim created the heaven and the earth. And so, if we just look at the Strong's Concordance, elohim God's in the ordinary sense, but specifically used, of the Supreme God occasionally applied by way of deference, to magistrates and sometimes, as a superlative, to angels or judges. And so we see that through the scriptures that references a person placed in authority, under the authority of God. Let's put it that way to meet out God's purpose, whether it be a prophet, a priest or a king, he becomes a judge, and when he becomes a judge he actually is resting in the place and the position of Elohim, elohim on the earth temporarily.
Speaker 1:1 Kings 8.23,. And he said Lord, god of Israel, there is no Elohim like thee in heaven above or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart. So there's many Elohim in heaven, there's many Elohim in earth, but there's none like Yahweh Elohim. All right In earth, but there's none like Yahweh Elohim Right.
Speaker 1:Let's keep reading Psalms 89. Let the heavens praise your wonders, o Lord, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones. What does that mean In the assembly of the Elohim? For who in the skies can this is reading from the ESV who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings or the word is literally the sons of El is like the Lord, a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all, who are around him. All right, and so there's a in the Bible.
Speaker 1:We find under the Old Testament, that there are angelic beings who are in a council surrounding the throne of God, and they are called Elohim, or mighty ones, or the hosts of heaven. All right, psalms 88, 4 through 6,. What is man that you are mindful? From the Hebrew to the English. But the Hebrew says For thou hast made him a little lower than the Elohim and hast crowned him with glory and honor. So the angels there, as God's representatives, are referred to as Elohim. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou hast put all things under his feet. So he made man a little lower than the Elohim and gave him dominion over the works of God's hands. And so, even though in the beginning God gave Adam dominion and he lost his godship, he lost his sonship and he lost his domain, and yet still, the only way Satan took that over, he became the prince of the power of the air. But the only way for Satan to establish himself and establish his kingdom on earth was to work in and through man, and so God, even in this process, when he's bringing forth redemption for his chosen ones, what is he doing? How is he doing that? He is working through man, and so when he's working through man, he will call those men many times. He will call them Elohim. Those men, many times he will call them Elohim.
Speaker 1:We referenced this before. And the serpent said unto the woman Genesis 3, 4, and 5, you shall not surely die, for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened and you shall be as Elohim, knowing good and evil. So there again, the devil subtly twists the truth that is already a fact and perverts it so that the deception comes as though God was withholding something good from Eve. So she accepts the lie God is withholding something from me. Instead of saying oh my, that's interesting, let me ask Adam about that. Adam, the serpent, says that God's withholding knowledge from us about good and evil. What should we do? And then Adam could say let's ask God. God's coming in the cool of the evening. We'll take our time and we'll ask God. What should we do? Instead, eve is deceived into thinking that this serpent can pass on hidden knowledge to her, and she takes it and man. Then Adam identifies himself with the sin of his wife, inserts the seed into her in order to save her.
Speaker 1:And then God comes and we see, the rest is history, as they say, exodus 7.1,. And the Lord said unto Moses, see, I have made the Elohim to Pharaoh. So Moses was Elohim to Pharaoh. And Aaron, thy brother, shall be thy prophet. So we see particular men through history given the title conferred upon them as Elohim on earth, and this is for the purpose of redemption.
Speaker 1:Psalm 82.1, god Elohim standeth in the congregation of the El. Now in the KJV it says the mighty, but it's the word El which is just another word for God, singular of Elohim. In the ESV it says the divine council. So God standeth, elohim standeth in the congregation of the El. He judges among the Elohim. All right, and that's where we find I said you are Elohim, you're all children of the Most High. We'll read more of that.
Speaker 1:But Exodus 21.6, another verse speaking of Elohim Then his master shall bring him unto the now it's translated into English judges, but the word is then his master shall bring him unto the Elohim. He shall also bring him to the door or unto the doorpost. His master shall bore his ear through with an awl and he shall serve him forever. So when a slave doesn't want to be set free, at the time of Jubilee the master will take the slave unto the judges. They bore a hole in his ear to say you will be a slave continually and this is your master. And so those judges, in this case God refers to them as Elohim. They are meeting out God's purpose, so he calls them Elohim.
Speaker 1:Psalm 8.3,. Defend the poor and fatherless. Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy. Rid them out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are out. Of course I have said ye are Elohim and all of you are the children of the Most High. But ye shall die like men and fall like one of the princes. Arise, o God, judge the earth, for thou shalt inherit the nations. So we see Elohim here Again. It's a title conferred upon men that are in a position of authority. Adoption number one.
Speaker 1:Brother Banham says but in Genesis 2, when he made man, he said I am Y-H-W-H, yahweh Jehovah. What did it mean? I'm the all-existent one who has created something off of myself to be a son of mine or a temporary, or an amateur little one of mine. Glory. Why he gave man Jehovah means that he gave man to be an amateur God because he is Father God and he made a man an amateur God. So he isn't self-existent anymore. He exists with his family, el Ela. He isn't self-existent anymore. He exists with his family, el Elohim. Now he's Jehovah. Jehovah, meaning the one who exists with his family. Now God made man to be the predominant over all the earth. He had dominion and the earth was man's dominion. Is that scripture? Then, if that's his dominion, he was God over the earth.
Speaker 1:So we see Brother Branham saying again this is the second time he says Adam was God over the earth. He could speak, and it would be so. He could speak this and it would be so. Oh, there he is, god Jehovah, the one who once existed in self-existence but now exists with his family and his little ones with him. There you are, exists with his family and his little ones with him. There you are.
Speaker 1:So that's when we're looking at what Adam fell from and we're looking at redemption, remember what we started out with the mystery of God. What is the mystery of God? We're not going to go into details at the moment, but it has to do with redemption, and that redemption has to do with a book. Now again, the book that we find in Revelation 5, of course it's not a literal book, but it's representing something. But the Bible speaks about it as a little book or a little scroll that's sealed with seven seals, and so this means that if it's sealed with seven seals, there's no access. We can't get our hands on it, it's not even ours to take.
Speaker 1:As the Scripture shows, no man was worthy in heaven. So, men that have died and gone off the scene Moses, jeremiah, daniel, ezekiel, adam, jonah, job, david none of them worthy in heaven and us on earth, brother Branham, brother Branham, billy Graham, any of them they could not directly reclaim what Adam lost. They had no rights to it. They were unworthy to do it, because every one of them was sex-born and in a position and a condition that they were fallen Right, and in a position and a condition that they were fallen right. And yet, even in that fallen state for the purposes of redemption. God will even confer what Adam lost upon man for the purposes of redemption.
Speaker 1:So a father and mother taking authority in their home, there to be Elohim in their home, there, to be God in their home. What does that mean? To be God, an object of worship? Their children fall down and worship them. No, not to receive worship, not to forgive sins, but to be God's sins, but to be God's vice regent, to be God's right hand, man and woman, to be the voice of God. How do we redeem our family?
Speaker 1:Spoken word is the original seed. When God created everything, what did he do? He got a scaffolding and he started chiseling something out. No, and God said let there be. And there was. So God made Adam to be God on the earth. He was God in heaven, in the supernatural realms.
Speaker 1:Madam, madam, mr, adam, or Adam as the Bible calls him, adam was God on earth, elohim on earth. He was to be God's manifestation on earth. He's made in the image and likeness of God, adam and Eve together. That's to be the expression of his dominion. How was Adam to take dominion? He was to speak and it was to be so, just like his father. So when we're looking at redemption and this book that's taken. So if we want to think about it this way, what did Adam lose when he lost his godship, his sonship and his dominion? He lost the little book. When Adam lost the book, that book was then sealed up with seven seals, and it's been sealed up ever since then. What did it do? It went back to the right hand of him that sat upon the throne, and no one was worthy to take it None of the prophets, none of the priests, none of the kings, none of the apostles, none of the messengers to the ages. None of them were worthy to take the book or to look thereon, and it remained sealed up with seven seals.
Speaker 1:2 Peter 1.4, whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. So Peter takes two words, theois and physis, and he puts them together Divine nature, theois, physis. Theois means to be godlike. Theos means to be godlike, and so he's given and purposed us believers to be godlike, to go through the process of becoming like God. Then nature that speaks of growth or genus or species or nature. So when we're speaking of nature, we're speaking of a nature that comes from being a species. So through the promises of God, the promise of redemption, we are to become partakers of the God life or the God species, or the genes of God. So when we're looking at the term, the genes of God, there's something in the soul of man that is to be, that is coming from the genes of God, and it comes predestinated by God. And it comes predestinated by God, and so that divine nature is what we're to be partaker of. So the gospel comes to bring the purchase price of redemption. But remember, when there's a purchase price, there has to be a claiming of that purchase. And so at Calvary he paid the purchase price, he became the intercessor, right. But there comes to a place where the intercessory work needs to be finished, completed and done. So then from that place and position he can make his claim upon his property. And so let's look at that, revelation 5, 1 through 9, and I saw, in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and on the backside sealed with seven seals.
Speaker 1:So when Adam lost his ability to speak the word, to enforce his dominion by the spoken word of God when he was separated from the mind of God. See, in the beginning, when God wanted to name the animals upon the earth, he didn't name them himself. What did he do? In fact, he just brought them before Adam to see what Adam would name them. Adam didn't need to pray, he didn't need to say, father, guide me and lead me to know what I should name this particular animal. No, adam was one with the mind of God. So all Adam had to do was speak. And when he spoke, that was a manifestation of the mind of God. And so Adam could speak, and he could move this tree to that place, this mountain to that place, this hill to that place, and whatever he spoke, that would come to pass. And so Adam lost that in the fall.
Speaker 1:And so when he lost that, the book got sealed up with seven seals and went back. It couldn't go to the hand of Satan, because Satan was wicked and evil. Satan couldn't be given that power. And yet, even with a sealed book, for the purposes of redemption throughout history, there were men that were raised up that could take a position and a place and could speak the word. And what was it? It was all foreshadowing the coming one, the coming one who had the right to take the book, who had the right to speak the word, and it would be so right. And it was the coming of a new super race. What was it? What's super race? Those, the God species. Jesus was the first. The true bride of Jesus Christ is the continuation of that.
Speaker 1:And so now, of course, we see from the book of Genesis, god takes that book back into his hand. What is that book? That's the right to rule by the spoken word. So that book is taken back into the right hand of him, that sits on the throne, and it's sealed up with seven seals, in other words, you don't have access to it. In order to gain access to it, someone must break those seals.
Speaker 1:And so, revelation 5.2, I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven nor on earth, neither under the the earth, was able to open that book, neither to look thereon. And so here we have a book where all of creation and I went much, because no man was found worthy to open the book and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And so john, here seeing, uh, the terror of the situation because all would be lost if there was no one that could come and take the book and to loose the seals thereof. But one of the elders came and told him weep not, behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the book and to loose the severed seals thereof. So here comes forth an elder, an Old Testament saint, an elder who comes and says don't worry, the king, the lion, has overcome, he can take the book and he can loose it. And then John turns and looks. He says I beheld it low in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts and in the midst of the elders. So out from the back side of the throne, where he was interceding, came the lamb, came from the midst of the throne and there came forth a lamb, as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth. There came forth a lamb, as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth, and he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. So now we have the second.
Speaker 1:Adam has come to bring redemption. What does he do? He's redeeming the book. He's taking the rights to himself the right to what, the right to be what, the right to rule, the right to be God on earth, to be God manifested on earth. Now it comes back into the hands of a man, because it had to be a man. No man in heaven. Hands of a man. Because it had to be a man. No man in heaven didn't say god could open the seals, because the seals were regarding to man. God had it in keeping, so a man had to be worthy.
Speaker 1:How was he worthy? He was born. He was born outside of sexual pleasure. He was born by the virgin birth, by the spirit of god overshadowing a virgin and creating a little embryo within her womb that he would come forth and be a perfect, sinless Son of God. Praise the Lord. And he would come. And he, instead of establishing his right and instead of establishing his right he would say not my will but thy will be done he would put on display what it would mean for God to be a man upon the earth, and that's his purpose. So he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Speaker 1:So here the book is transferring back. It was in Adam's hands, went back to God's hands. Now it's coming, being taken back into the hands of the God-man, the one who has the supreme deity. He takes the book and when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, and every one of them harps and golden vials of odors, which are the prayers of the saints, and they sung a new song. So a new song is a new revelation. You are worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof, for you are slain and has redeemed us to god by thy blood, out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation. So when he takes that book, that's the book of redemption. When he takes that book, which is of course speaking of the right to rule heaven, rule upon the earth, and it belongs in the hands of man. So now he takes it and everyone falls down in worship, he says you've redeemed us and you've given us the right to rule over the earth by the spoken word again, amen, let's keep going. I have a few more quotes to read from the breach Brother Branham says.
Speaker 1:Now, when Adam sinned by heeding his wife's reasoning instead of holding to God's word, that's what made Adam sin. His wife reasoned with Satan and then produced the product to Adam, and Adam turned loose the word and sold out. He lost also his inheritance when he lost his fellowship and right to life. Remember the day you eat thereof, that day you die. And when he lost his life, he also lost his inheritance in life because he has completely supreme control of the earth. He was a god of the earth. He was a god of the earth God is the god of the universe everywhere. But his son had this earth under his own control. He could speak, he could name, he could say, he could stop nature, he could do anything he wanted to see. But when he did that, he lost his inheritance. Now Adam could say let this mountain here be moved over there, and it would do it. Adam could say, let this mountain here be moved over there, it would do it. Adam could say, let this tree here be plucked up and planted over there. It would do it. See, for he had complete, supreme control as a minor God under God, our Father, because he was a son of God.
Speaker 1:Now, couldn't we stop here just a minute and get a real sermon, see? Oh then, if the blood has cleansed it back, what about now? See, look what that son of God, the second Adam, did. The works that I do shall you do also? Adam lost his inheritance the earth. Now it passed from his hand to the one he sold out to Satan. He sold his faith in God to Satan's reasoning. Therefore, his eternal life is right to the tree of life, is right to. The earth belonged to him and he forfeited every bit to the hands of Satan. He passed it from his hand to Satan. Therefore, now it has been returned, it has been polluted and the seed of Adam has destroyed the inheritance that Adam should have had. That's the earth. That's right. See, the seed of Adam. All right. So this is wonderful.
Speaker 1:The book is taken back, the rights to the spoken word is taken back. It's in the hands of the Lamb, the Lord, jesus Christ. The God-man has it once again. But that's not the end of the traveling of the book. Next you find a mighty angel, christ himself, mother.
Speaker 1:A mighty angel comes down from heaven clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was upon his head, his face was, as it were, the sun, his feet as pillars of fire. Through who? And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. The seven thunders revealed the great mysteries Through who, through what verse 7 says. Now, 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. And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again and said Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which stands upon the sea and upon the earth. My goodness. So John, being a witness there in heaven, in chapter 5, no man was worthy to take the book. So, in other words. But now we see that the book is being delivered to John, john being a type of the true bride of Jesus Christ. Now this book is being delivered to John, once he was totally unworthy to even look at it, to read it or even touch it. Now, because the Lamb has taken it, now he's coming down to deliver it into the hands of man.
Speaker 1:Why, so what Adam lost would be restored back to him? Amen, we're in preparation for that now. That's why we must take it and eat it up and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth as sweet as honey. So the revelation of it is sweet to us. So what is this book? It is the mystery of God. The book itself is the mystery of God. What is that mystery? It's a threefold mystery God revealed fully in Christ, god revealed fully in the bride to gain preeminence, and a restoration back to Eden condition. What is it? When we think of restoration to Eden, we're thinking like heaven is coming back to earth. That's not what it's speaking of. What it's speaking of is what the prophet is saying here is Adam lost the right to take dominion and the right to the spoken word? When that book comes back to us and we eat it and we take it in, and it makes our belly bitter, that's the change that's taking place. And then what does he say from there? Thou must prophesy again before many peoples and nations and tongues and king. You must take the word that's spoken and revealed by the seventh church age messenger, word that's spoken and revealed by the seventh church age messenger that's revealing what's in that open book. You must take that word and speak it Now. What Adam has lost has restored back to us. How is it? We have the mind of Christ. That's the secret that the bride has. The mind of Christ is restored back to her so that when she speaks it's him speaking. Amen, she has his mind so she can speak what he says.
Speaker 1:Let's read from the sixth seal Compare the scriptures of this great event that we see that this great secret or mystery that was under the sixth seal of the book of redemption. Now remember, these are hidden mysteries and the six seals all together is one great big book, just six scrolls rolled together, and it unwinds the whole book of redemption. That's how the earth was redeemed. That's the reason John wept, because if no one could get that book, all creation, everything was gone. She would just simply turn back to atoms and molecules and so forth, the cosmic light, and not even be creation person, nothing else.
Speaker 1:Because Adam lost the rights of that book. He forfeited it when he listened to his wife and she listened to Satan's reasoning instead of the word of God. See, it was forfeited Then it couldn't go back into the dirty hands of Satan who tempted her out of the way. So therefore it went back to its original owner, like any abstract deed would do. See, it goes right back to the original owner and that was God, the Creator, who made it and he holds it.
Speaker 1:And there's a price, and that's redemption. There's some price for redemption. There was nobody could do it. So he said he made His laws, his own laws, of a kinsman redeemer. And they could find nobody. Every man was born of sex, born after sexual desire. He was in the original sin Satan and Eve. So he was in the original sin satan and eve. So he could not do it. There's nothing in him. No holy pope, priest, doctor, divinity, whoever he might be, would he would nobody worthy. And he couldn't be an angel because I had to be a kinsman, he had to be a man.
Speaker 1:Then god himself become a kinsman by taking on human flesh through the virgin birth, and he shed his blood. That wasn't the blood of a jew, it wasn't the blood of a gentile, it was't the blood of a Gentile, it was the blood of God. See Bible said we're saved through the blood of God, in the fundamental foundation for our faith. Now Adam could speak to the winds and it would stop. He could speak to the trees and they would obey him. He could speak to the wildlife, it would obey him. He could speak to the waters. Ever what it was, everything obeyed Adam. Now, that is the beginning of man. That's what God give him power over everything on earth. Now, through the fall, he lost that power. Then he become unconscious of the fact after losing his relationship and friendship, fellowship with the Father. Then he lost that and all of his great channels become clogged up and he couldn't get through.
Speaker 1:Now what Adam was in God, god christ has redeemed us back to the now. A redeemer. To redeem anything is to bring it back to its origin again. All right. So the lamb comes, takes the book, changes form. From lamb form goes to become a mighty angel, comes down with an open book, the seventh church age messenger finishes, preaches and finishes the mystery of God. Then that same mighty angel says John, take the book and eat it and prophesy against Take the book and eat it. It will be sweet in your mouth, but when it gets into your body it will be bitter, because you realize the change and transformation that has to take place in your life and then speak that which was lost to Adam is restored back to us. How do we redeem our families? How do we redeem our children? How are those around us redeemed?
Speaker 1:In this hour? It's by the spoken word that comes through the bride. Now we have the mind of God and we can simply speak and God will bring it to pass, not speaking our own carnal mind. One day, when these new bodies come, there won't be a carnal mind and a heavenly mind, there'll just be a heavenly mind. But now there's the mind of Christ and there's the mind of man operating in the same person. One day the two natures, the fallen nature, will be done away with and this gene of God in the soul that's in, that's within our soul, that becomes quickened by the, the word of god and the spirit of god, that quickening power that comes upon us in this age, now that there is an open book, now that it's been delivered back into the hands of man, that which Adam lost, christ has redeemed, brought it back down to us and told us to eat it and then to speak. We are in the process of growing into what? The mind of Christ speaking, the word, the maturity of the word.
Speaker 1:If you look at it, creation. For the sons of God to be fully manifested, creation needs to be set free from its vanity. What has to happen? First, the rapture takes place, the great tribulation period. Christ and the saints come back to earth to establish the kingdom upon this earth. And how do we rule? With the breath of our lips, the wicked I think it's in Isaiah 11, the wicked is slain by the breath of the Messiah's lips. So Christ, jesus, christ and His bride will return back to earth. And how will they rule? By the spoken word. How do we lead our families? How are we changed and transformed in the image of Christ in this day? By the spoken word. It's the word spoken that will quicken the souls. All right In Christ, is the mystery of God revealed. The body quicken the souls All right In Christ, is the mystery of God revealed. The body must follow the head, as the wife follows the husband.
Speaker 1:Being that Adam was not deceived, he walked out with Eve. Eve was deceived. She was in the transgression, or the entire resurrection of the whole body would have come forth at the day of the Lord Jesus when he come forth from the grave. But he had to redeem her, which is his body. She has to be redeemed in order to come to him. Do you see it? Oh, my see, it couldn't have happened then the redemption is going on. So, in other words, it's going on now, now that the seals have been opened, redemption is going on.
Speaker 1:Now, you see the seals, brother Branham says when he's in his mediatorial work back there, redeeming, but someday he comes forth to get this book that he's redeemed and all that's in this book would be him, for that's the believer, the words in the book and the word is him and all that's in that he'd come forth for this book of redemption, whose names are written on the book, before the foundation of the world, when he was slain as the Lamb. All right. And so think about this Again the mystery of God should be finished. You know, all of the book of Revelation is a book of symbols, and so when we're talking about the seven seals, it's a book of symbols. And so there seals, it's a book of symbols. And so this they're, they're, they're that which adam lost, right.
Speaker 1:Christ paid the price of redemption to get the right to the book, right, and the book represents the title. Deed To what? For the right to rule. Because immediately when the new song comes forth, what is it? You've redeemed us to God and made us kings and priests Right. So what is the opening of the book? That's the full restoration of man back to his original position.
Speaker 1:We have the right to rule by the spoken word. When we take the book and eat it, then we're told to prophesy again. We don't understand. Somehow we have spiritual amnesia. We miss the fact that God has given us the right to rule by the spoken word. That doesn't mean we're going to suddenly become president of every nation. It means first to rule over this earth, this body, and then, secondarily, to take the authority that God has given us, and that would be in measure in the bride body, whether you be part of the fivefold ministry, whether you be a believer that has gifted, in whatever capacity you've been gifted. But ultimately for fathers to take authority Because, remember, adam never had a church, adam never had a tabernacle, adam had a family, and even what God spoke to Abraham, it was Abraham leading his family, not leading a church.
Speaker 1:And so, primarily, our first line of authority as husbands and wives is our family. And so the men that are gifted to lead their families are also gifted to lead the local church. Because if you are unable to rule your own home by the spoken word not the angry word, but the authority of the word of God, having the mind of Christ and that mind of Christ coming forth and being manifested in your life, that's the rulership that we have in our family. Then, if you're gifted to do that secondarily now you can lead the local church. But if you can't lead your family by the spoken word, how can you lead the church by the spoken word, how can you be a missionary by the spoken word? How can you be an evangelist by the spoken word?
Speaker 1:So again, the first priority is family. Why? Because God first made the family and then, for the purpose of redemption, he continues the same thing, but he added unto that the tabernacle. What came first? The family or the tabernacle of Moses? Of course the family came first. After that came the tabernacle. And so, ruling by the spoken word, teach your family, teach your children, teach them the message.
Speaker 1:Simple question does your daughters know what the three sacred trusts of women are? Do your sons know, so they know to look for the right type of wife? Do your sons know the purpose and the function of a man? Does your family know what the seventh seal is all about? Do they know what the seal is, what the open book means. Do they know the basic teaching about the Godhead? Do they know the teaching where it is in the scriptures, about modesty and holiness? Or are we just leaving that up to someone else to do? The experts to do it? Well, the Bible doesn't give you that right. Read Ephesians 6.4.
Speaker 1:Fathers are designated to be teachers and instructors and correctors of their family. That job is not to be left to the pastor of their family. That job is not to be left to the pastor. We, as fathers and mothers, must take that authority by the spoken word, to teach it and establish it in our homes and our families. Amen. Well, I think we'll finish it up there. I hope that makes sense to you. The mystery of God I hope that makes sense to you. The mystery of God is three parts and you're a part of that. It's how God came down to reveal himself in Christ, then in his bride, to gain the preeminence and give her his mind. And then, once she has his mind, then she's in the position where she can bring forth the spoken word Amen, amen, where she can bring forth the spoken word Amen.
Speaker 1:We've had another number of feedback and comments from different people and we greatly appreciate that. I want to see if I can get here on my channel and look at some of the comments that have gotten back. I do remember recently I got a question from someone regarding marriage and divorce and it's a situation where someone was married and had children and got a divorce before they became a believer. Now they're a believer and they want to get married. Many of these things and my it's so difficult. You look at these situations and you wonder can we make an exception for this, an exception here? Make an exception for this, an exception here? Unfortunately, if you look at these different things, there's not as many exceptions as man would like to do it and we would like to. All would like to out God, god, but the fact is that the Lord himself many times doesn't allow these things to happen and marriage is a sacred thing. I actually want to talk about that. In fact, maybe that's a good thing to go into and now that I've brought it up, perhaps just mention it quickly.
Speaker 1:We look at marriage and divorce as a message in the scriptures that it's going to fix all the problems, but I believe that we're coming into an hour where it's not about fixing the problems, but it's about never getting into the problems in the first place. And at the end of the marriage and divorce sermon, brother Branham says now God grants you mercy and stay as you are and teach your children to never do what you've done. But I want to know did you teach your children not to do what Brother Branham said you shouldn't do, or did you forget to do it? And now we're in the same trouble again. Many times we're in the same trouble again because we refuse to teach. Like Brother Branham said, we should teach. So, instead of being in this position where we're all in confusion, actually just do what Brother Branham said to do.
Speaker 1:Don't get a divorce If what God has joined together, let man not put asunder. Marriage is an unbreakable union, that you've made a vow before god. There's one reason that you can can break that, according to the scripture, if that that be for the cause of fornication, and that's if the woman has committed fornication. If the man has married his wife and he comes to her and finds out that she's not a virgin, he has the right to put her away, right If she comes and confesses after the fact she didn't confess beforehand, but she confessed after the fact and he comes and finds that she's not a virgin, that she committed fornication before she got married, then he can put her away and remarry. But it's not just oh, she committed fornication before she got married, then he can put her away and remarry. But it's not just oh, she committed adultery after they're married. Now we can go ahead and I can divorce her and get remarried.
Speaker 1:Many times that man has driven that woman to adultery because he doesn't care for her, he doesn't love her, he doesn't minister to her spirit, and so she's going and looking for satisfaction from somewhere else. That's her sin, but it's also his sin and driving her to that. In that case it wouldn't give him an out to go and get remarried and do the same mistake all over again. Marriage and divorce, if we understand it is, it's meant to be a man and a woman for life, and if the spouse dies, be it man or woman, if your sister, if your husband dies, you can remarry. Brother, if your wife dies, you can remarry, right. But what about this situation? What if, before I was married, before I came to the message? What if I made a mistake? Wow, this is a commitment for life. Your spoken word binds you to that person for life, don't live in such a way that divorce is out of the question For my wife and I.
Speaker 1:We were taught divorce is not an option for Christians. We don't get divorce. We go through many hard things but we work through it. We do everything we can. We get counseling. We get someone to come help us. Whatever we need to do, we do what it takes to stay in oneness. We're not looking for an out. The weakness of the flesh and the fact that people don't believe the Word takes them in the position where they're getting a divorce. So that's that subject I think would be wonderful to speak about, because there's so much typology and old things to look at through the New Testament and through the Old Testament Beautiful subject and very important for us. So, with that said, we'll bring it to an end.
Speaker 1:I'd like to read some feedback from people. I don't have any in front of me this time. In the future I will do that. Please send me your feedback, send me your thoughts, your questions, prayer requests, and I will always take time to read those and get to that. Thank you again. God richly bless you, pray for me and I greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord go with you and be with you in all things.
