Reclaiming Eden: How the Seventh Seal Restores Our Lost Dominion
What if the most profound mystery in Scripture isn't about theological concepts but about reclaiming what humanity lost at the fall? In this revelatory exploration, we uncover how the seven-sealed book of Revelation directly connects to Adam's forfeited dominion.
When God created Adam, He didn't just make another creature—He created "Elohim on earth," a being with spoken word authority who could name animals, command nature, and exercise godship over creation. This extraordinary position wasn't meant to be temporary but was humanity's permanent inheritance. The catastrophic consequences of the fall weren't merely spiritual death but the loss of this divine authority, symbolized by a title deed that returned to the Creator's hands.
The book sealed with seven seals that made John weep is precisely this deed of dominion. Christ, as the worthy Lamb, reclaimed it not to keep for Himself but to restore it to a redeemed humanity. When the Mighty Angel descends in Revelation 10 with the open book, we're witnessing the process of that authority being returned to the Bride.
Brother Branham's ministry as the wave sheaf—the first fruits showing others would follow—demonstrated this restoration beginning. His spoken word miracles weren't meant to be isolated events but precursors to what the mature Bride would manifest. We're now in this Bride age, growing into "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" before the rapture.
The revelation of the Seventh Seal isn't merely knowledge but Christ Himself living in His people, speaking creation back into order. Many believers worldwide are already experiencing glimpses of this spoken word authority, commanding storms, sickness, and circumstances in Jesus' name with remarkable results.

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. God bless you all.
Speaker 1:Thanks for tuning in to the podcast this week, so glad that you're following along. I got some great feedback about some of the shorts that I put together last week little snippets and reels and so forth that I put out. So I was glad that was a blessing and we'll continue to do that. And they got more views than just about any of my videos get initially. So was thankful to see that and our desires to continue to spread the message of the hour and to help believers grow in their faith. That continues to be the purpose and the desire that I have for the ministry and we're going to continue on our subject, the Mystery of God, part 2. And, lord willing, we'll do our best.
Speaker 1:I have a little bit more of a mobile setup now so I can take it with me. I hope the quality is not suffering. I don't think it is suffering too bad, although the audio could be a little bit better. But considering it's a highly mobile setup that will enable me to record just about anywhere, I think it sounds pretty good and with some of the editing processes we have, it all works out just fine. So, just like we say in the intro, prayer, requests, testimonies, questions that you might have. I greatly appreciate all of that. I welcome them, would love to hear from you. You can contact me through my website at jasondemarscom. I'll get an email and I do my best to respond. I am not always perfectly timely, but I do my best to be relatively timely in my contacts, so thank you to those that do. At the end of last time I know I spoke a little bit about marriage and divorce and I do want to review that sometime in the future.
Speaker 1:I believe that addressing marriage and divorce is very important, but I don't believe that God intended marriage and divorce to be something that solves every problem, but rather that gives us direction on how we're supposed to live our life. At some point us parents need to do our job and teach our children. Brother Branham said at the end look it up yourself, go listen to marriage and divorce, teach your children never to do such a thing. And so sinful human nature is going to mandate that there's problems, that there's issues, but the reality is what the Word says about marriage and divorce is there's a man and there's a woman and they're to be together for life. You say there's this situation and this situation, it does provide a remedy. What is that remedy? If your spouse is dead, you can remarry. If your wife committed fraud against you and told you she was a virgin, but later confesses she was not, then in such a situation you actually do have the right to put her away and to marry another. But outside of that scenario, there's no such thing as remarriage. People will ask what about this situation? This happened before. I was a believer. Now I can do this. Now I can do that.
Speaker 1:Marriage is a covenant unique to mankind and it is meant to be for life. What you know about it or don't know about it is basically irrelevant. This is built into the covenant that was made at the very beginning between God and man very beginning between God and man. And when you break that covenant, you are breaking the very basics of God's laws with humanity. And while certainly there's forgiveness but forgiveness doesn't mean that there's no consequences for our actions. You always reap what you sow that there's no consequences for our actions. You always reap what you sow. This is a fact. Even with forgiveness, you will still reap what you sow, amen. So that was a really lighthearted way to get started with the podcast.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, we're trying out some new things. Let us know what you like and what you don't like. There's a few different things, a few different angles that we're going to try to put forward, like this one. I know that's clipping the end of my iPad and my MacBook, but that's okay, we'll be all right, praise the Lord. So all right, let's start looking at the mystery of God. This is from the scripture in Revelation 10.7. I want to tie this back, specifically the mystery of God, to redemption, and show you where this is coming at, or unto, in the age we're now living, now that the seventh seal has been opened, we're being lifted up to a higher level to see how the whole picture ties together. Many times, we look at these topics from a basic and, I would say, immature level and we begin to fight over the details, fighting over this, fighting over that, and this can be a problem that we're facing even today, unfortunately. However, once God lifts you up higher into the seventh seal, into the reality of the seventh seal, and you begin to walk around in this land which you've inherited, it lifts you up to a higher level and you'll be able to connect things from Genesis to Revelation that are really astounding.
Speaker 1:I can recall myself when I first came to the message. I began to see, as I studied, different things that came after the opening of the seals. I could start to see how God had an election and serpent seed, the plan of redemption, the seals, the seven thunders, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the token, the blood being the life of the sacrifice, all these different issues. Actually they tie in together and it's incredible how it does. This is what the Lord started showing me.
Speaker 1:On my own, I certainly learned. I had a pastor, I had different things I was studying, but this was what the Lord was showing me as I was looking directly at Brother Branham's sermons, thinking about his doctrines and seeing how they all tied together. But then I began to fellowship with some of the people that had been around the message for a long time and I would say perhaps had a denominational thinking that was attaching itself to the message and that began to bring confusion for me. And I was so young, in my early 20s, and it began to cut me off from that realm of revelation that was taking place in my life. And that was my own fault, my own naivety that I had during that time naivety that I had during that time. But as the Lord has begun to deal with me over the last 10, 12 years, many things start to begin to open up again. I could see how many of these things intertwine and no theologian could connect them together, even Brother Branham himself and no theologian could connect them together. Even Brother Branham himself was a vessel that God used to lift us up higher, like you.
Speaker 1:Look at Revelation 4.1, come up hither and I will show you things that are to come. This message is a call to come up higher to see things that God is opening up in the realms of glory. Then, when you start to see people that, oh, they're struggling with the message, they're struggling to catch the revelation of the message and they're looking at little details, oh, what about this thing? What about Brother Branham making a mistake over here about the type of church that he had? Was he Pentecostal, was he Baptist, was he this, was he that? And you begin to see all of these people and you realize this is just a red squirrel chattering at the eagles. The eagle says, well, okay, watch this. One flap of these wings he's. He's soaring up in the heavenlies. And the squirrels just down there chattering, knows, knows nothing about it. He's just left alone just chattering away. We've all heard these things and so it's important for us to understand and realize and come to a place that we're settled in the revelation of the Word for this day.
Speaker 1:There's many interpretations, there's many people that are bringing their own interpretation, but if we can go and look directly at what the prophet himself was bringing, without trying to bring a magical interpretation ourself, suddenly it all begins to come into view. You have so many things that tie together when you start to look at it. You look at the invisible union, which is tied to the marriage of the Lamb, which is tied to the revealing of the Son of man, which is tied to the coming of the Lord or the presence of the Lord. The Lord descending from heaven with a shout, voice of the archangel, with the trump of God. These are things that are already fulfilled. The mighty angel coming down with an open book is the Lord descending from heaven with a shout, which is the Son of man revealing himself to his bride, bringing the revelation of the open mystery. She'll take that book. What is the book? It's Christ. She eats it. So she's taking Christ into herself and becoming that word. Then when she becomes that word, she can then speak the word, and so so many of these things tie together. But if we misinterpret it or bring our own interpretation to it, we begin to miss the whole picture.
Speaker 1:Brother Branham says that the token is coming into full effect only in the evening time. Right, that's exactly scriptural. That fits the type perfectly. The token comes into effect. You say they didn't have the Holy Ghost throughout the ages. Of course they had the Holy Ghost throughout the ages. That's what the new covenant is. But the full token never comes into display until the very end of the age. What does that mean? Well, it's not until the end of the age that we have it. Go from the baptism of the Holy Ghost to the Holy Ghost himself, when the Holy Ghost himself comes. That Holy Ghost himself is the token, the person Jesus Christ revealed in the form of his bride. That is the token.
Speaker 1:So as we start to look at this, we see that we have a unique time at the end time you know that which has been sealed up. We spoke about it last week and we're going to look at the Scriptures again, we're going to look at the Word again. And so we'll begin to see in this whole process that there's something unique to the last age, the end time, that is different than any other age. Now we look here and we see in Christ is the mystery of God revealed. I want to read this quote, and we're going to look at this rather extensively. This quote and we're going to look at this rather extensively.
Speaker 1:Now, god's great secret mystery he had before the world began. Now, back in the back part of God's mind, there was something that he was trying and was going to achieve, and he had a motive in doing it in order to let himself be expressed, because first there wasn't even a moon, star, atom molecule or anything. He was God, but he exactly wasn't God at that time because God is an object of worship and there was nothing to worship him. So in his great mind he wanted these attributes to be expressed, and in him was love. In him was to be father, in him was to be son. In him was to be savior. In him was to be son. In him was to be savior. In him was to be a healer, and all these great attributes that we see already expressed, they were in God. So my opinion, the first thing that he made was angels, and then they worshipped him and that made him God. And he started from there.
Speaker 1:As in a previous message, I've tried to explain it, break it down. And now then, when angels began to worship him, that was before there was even a molecule in the earth. There was nothing, it was all darkness. There wasn't no sun or no moon, no stars, no, nothing. Then he was God. As he asked Job, where was you when I laid the foundations of the world? See, when the morning stars sang together, the sons of God shouted for joy. See now, where were you? See, that was way back before the earth.
Speaker 1:Now, god had a purpose and a hidden mystery, and that's what I want to speak on to the church this morning the hidden mystery of God that he had in his mind before the world ever began and how that it's unfolded itself right down to this present hour that we're living. See, then you will understand clearly, then you see on, I believe, what is done. 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 sun 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 uttered their voices and John was even forbidden to write it. See, the coming of the Lord. What is the seventh seal? It's the coming of the Lord. That's the one thing he hasn't revealed yet of how he will come and when he will come. It's a good thing he doesn't, no.
Speaker 1:So there we get Brother Branham speaking and it looks like he's saying he hasn't revealed it. But then what does he say in the very next thing? He has showed or revealed it in every type. That's in the Bible. Therefore, the entire Bible is the revelation of God's mystery in Christ. The entire Bible is an expression of one goal that God had, one purpose he wanted to achieve. In the entire Bible and all the acts of the believers in the Bible has been in type and expressing of what God's great goal is. And now, in this last days, he has revealed it and shows it. In God's help, we'll see it right here this morning what the Lord has had in his mind all along and has expressed it. Therefore, you can see the great meaning of what it's been to know this and then try to bring it to the people. See, and then you don't. I haven't went into details to try to explain it as God has revealed it to me.
Speaker 1:So there we have, brother Branham telling us that there's a mystery to be revealed only in the end time. Now we know it has to be in the Bible, but it's a secret that has been sealed up there. Daniel 12 tells us that the book was sealed even from ancient times. So, as we spoke last week and I want to speak more again and more clearly that this seven-sealed book is connected to redemption. It is the book of redemption. So if it's connected to redemption and we need it to be open for redemption to be completed and there's seven seals on it, we understand. But Abraham told us over and over and over again, the seven seals have been broken. The Lamb has taken the book and has broken the seals. Right, he said it multiple times, over and over and over again. He said it, and so he tells us us, and he makes this connection back to the book of Genesis, genesis 1.26 through 28. And we know the book is connected to man. Look at that, genesis 1.26,.
Speaker 1:And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle. And Verse 27,. So God created man in his own image and the image of God created he him Male and female, created he them. Verse 28,. Alright, so God's original purpose when he created man? He created man to be a reflection of himself. He made man in his own image and in his own likeness, and so it was God's purpose to reflect himself.
Speaker 1:First, god unfolded himself into the Logos Before there was an atom, before there was anything, before there was air, before there was time, space and matter. Out of God he put a part of himself called the Logos. Out of God came a part of God in order for God to express himself towards what he was about to create. That was the Word. This was God's self-limitation. God's self-revelation was to be through the Word, through the Logos, through a theophany body that he would reveal himself through. So then God began.
Speaker 1:Then, through that Word, god created everything. He said let there be, let there be, let there be, let there be, let there be, let there be, let there be, let there be. And so God spoke. And here came man. So God unfolded him a little bit more, and a part of his life. What did he do? He breathed into Adam the breath of life, and man became a living soul. So the very, very breath is the same as spirit. So God took a portion of his spirit and put it into the flesh body of man, and that became Adam. So you have two parts to it. I want this man to be an expression of myself. He is my image and my likeness, and I want him to multiply that image, fill up the earth with that image, and I want him to subdue it and have dominion over the fish, the fowl, the air and the animals. So man was designed by God to be an expression of his own life and to have dominion over the earth. Right, and so where does this dominion first become manifested?
Speaker 1:God chose us in Genesis 2, 19 through 23. And out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them and whatsoever. Adam called every living creature. That was the name thereof, verse 22,. And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made he a woman and brought it unto the man and Adam said this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She should be called woman because she was taken out of man. So again, adam receives the naming power. So Adam names all the animals. It shows his authority over all the animals. Then he brings before Adam the woman, something taken out of himself, something closely related to him, his help meat, his companion, which is suitable for him, and he calls her woman because she was taken out of the man. So what is Adam's first line of authority? Adam's first line of authority is the spoken word. God committed unto Adam the spoken word so that he would take authority over creation, over creation. So it's first and foremost and primarily spoken word authority over creation.
Speaker 1:Brother Branham speaks about this Adoption number four, which God said in Genesis 2, that they were gods because they were had full domain over the dominion of the world. He gave him dominion over all things, and this is speaking about the fall, at the fall of man, he lost his godship, he lost his sonship, he lost his domain and Satan took over so this dominion that was given unto Adam. He was a god on earth, he was Elohim on earth, continuing from the breach. He was a god of the earth God is the god of the universe everywhere but his son had this earth under his 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, when he fell, 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 tree here be plucked up and planted over here, 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:I'm going to keep reading, just try to establish this more From Blasphemous Names. Brother Branham says and again, you heard these quotes last week, not all of them. You heard some of these quotes last week and we're just trying to. This is part of teaching and growing. I want to get this established in your mind because we're going to take it a little bit, a step further in all of this, and God, especially upon Adam, breathed the breath of eternal life and he became an eternal person with God. He had power. Like God, he was an amateur God. He was God of the earth, not God of heaven, now God of the earth. And someday the sons of God will again become gods. Jesus said so. Is it not written in your laws? You are gods. Then if you call those who he called God, who God visited, how can you condemn me? Say I'm the son of God. See, now we're getting into something deep. Now watch this when we drive it down. All right, that's from blasphemous names. Now I, that's from Blasphemous Names. Now I want to read from the sixth seal.
Speaker 1: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 and cosmic light and not even be creation person, nothing else. 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 its original owner, and that was God, the Creator, who made it and he holds it.
Speaker 1:So, looking at this whole picture, the book that we find, a mighty angel bringing down, crying with a loud voice, seven thunders utter their voices. The mystery of God should be finished. Take the book, eat the book, speak the word. We find that that very book is representing the authority of man to have dominion over the earth. And so what Adam lost? He lost his godship and he lost his dominion. Lost. He lost his godship and he lost his dominion, he lost his position.
Speaker 1:Satan then becomes the god of this evil age. He becomes the prince of the power of the air. He becomes the one that takes authority over the earth. Now, he could never take the book, he could never take the spoken word authority. God holds that to himself, and that's why you'd see throughout history that man would be called Elohim from time to time. The judges of Israel were called Elohim, right, the prophets of Israel were called Elohim. Angels themselves would be called in various places Elohim, until we come to the New Testament and we have Elohim in flesh. Once again, god manifests in the flesh. All of them were called Elohim in the flesh because they were in part revealing who God is, but they weren't the fullness of the Godhead bodily, that was only Jesus Christ, they only had a part of it, but yet they were in part manifesting Elohim in the flesh. And so this? But yet God still held the book in His hand All through the ages. He held the book in His hand All through the ages. He held the book in his hand, and so this book represents authority.
Speaker 1:We'll get to that in a moment. I want to read that. Before we get there, though, I want to look at what the oneness of Adam and his bride, because we find that Adam named Eve, his wife, woman because she was taken out of man. But what did God name them? Genesis 5, 1 and 2.
Speaker 1:This is the book of the generations of Adam, and the day that God created man and the likeness of God made he him Male and female. He created he them. So we can say that the man and the woman were Adam right. Jesus and his bride are Christ right. There's a oneness there that's shared between the man and the woman, and the woman takes the name of the man upon herself. So Eve was Adam man upon herself. So Eve was Adam. We can say it that way. But Eve didn't get the name until after the fall. So God says this is Adam. When Adam speaks, he says this is woman because she's taken out of the man right Then, after the fall, when the seed of Adam and the seed of the serpent are sewn together into Eve or into the woman, she's called Eve because she's the mother of all living and doesn't say that Adam was the father of all living, which reminds me.
Speaker 1:This has been a long time in the works, but I've got a book that's on the subject of serpent seed that will be coming out soon. I've just got to work on the process of getting it published through Amazon and then it'll go for sale there. I don't know, I don't. I haven't set a timing for that, but sometime before the end of the year, be releasing a book on Serpent Seed Trust. It will be a blessing and a help to you and it'll be available for sale on Amazon and on my website, jasondemarscom. But looking at this and you see then the oneness. So whatever Christ has wrought, he has worked it for his wife.
Speaker 1:When Adam identified himself with the sin of Eve, adam was the sinner, even though Eve he had to take. Adam had to take responsibility, for whom he had authority over Right. So when Eve sinned, adam took responsibility for her sin. And so we rightly say Adam sinned. Adam sinned and put all of creation into the bondage of corruption. And so when he sinned, what did he do? He lost his dominion.
Speaker 1:Man has only had a what we would say a muted dominion ever since then, and it's oh. Everything that man does out of his dominion is perverted. Why? Because Satan is the prince of the power of the air. When Adam fell, he lost that title. Adam was the prince of the power of the air, he was God on earth. When he fell, he lost that. Satan took over that position, but he could never take the book. He only had a derived right to rule, because Satan himself couldn't create and Satan himself only could work through man to accomplish his purposes on the earth. And so God having made Adam Elohim on earth and giving him that authority to speak the word, adam had the mind of Christ right. Adam didn't have to pray there in Genesis 2 when he named the animals. He could just speak because what he spoke was what the mind of the Father put into Adam's mind. So there was a oneness between Adam and Almighty God, so that when Adam was speaking it was God speaking through him. And again it's always.
Speaker 1:We find even the fall itself comes in when there's a breaking of the submission and surrender to God. When you're submitted and surrendered to God, that is where and when you can then speak with authority. But if you're not submitted and surrendered to God, you're speaking on your own authority. Nothing's going to happen. All right. Revelation 5.1. Let's see how we're doing for time. All right, 30 minutes in. So we're good.
Speaker 1: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, and 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 in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. So here's a book, sealed up with seven seals. It's filled with hidden mysteries. There's writing inside the book, but on the back side of the book it's sealed with seven seals. So God has closed it up. Well, when was it open last? Let's ask the question Was it ever open before? Yes, it was.
Speaker 1:We just read Brother Branham says this a number of times that Adam had the book and Adam lost the book. So it went from Adam's hand back to the hand of Almighty God. It couldn't go into Satan's hand. It had to go back to the Creator's hand, to the original owner's hand, held in court, let's say held in court, let's say until one who was deemed worthy could come and make the claims. And so we have this book in the right hand of the Father.
Speaker 1:And what's the statement? Who's worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof? No man is worthy. So this book is not meant for Satan. To loose the seals thereof, no man is worthy. So this book is not meant for Satan, it's not meant for angels, it's not meant even for animals. It is meant for man. There has to be a man found worthy, because a man lost it in the beginning Adam.
Speaker 1:Adam lost the book. It went back to the hands of the Creator waiting for another man to come and claim it. And they looked in heaven. Moses was there, paul was there, we could go on and on. Jonah, joseph, abraham, isaac, jacob, isaiah, jeremiah, daniel, all these men were there in heaven. And even the elders were seated around the throne. Not one of them was worthy to take the book or to open the book or to look thereon. And so John wept. Why did John weep? Because all was lost. All was lost. All was lost if no one could take the book. So this book is the title deed to the earth. It is the right to rule over the earth. Why do I say it's the right to rule over the earth? Let's keep reading.
Speaker 1:And one of the elders said unto me Revelation 5, verse 5, weep not. Behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld and lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts and in the midst of the elders, stood a lamb, as it had been slain, having seven horns, seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God. So here he was. The elder said a lion has prevailed. And he turned and looked and it was the lamb, and he came and took the book. So it's showing there's coming a transition from lamb to lion, there's a transition of thrones, from his father's throne to his own throne. So he comes and he takes the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Speaker 1:When he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the lamb, having every one of them harps and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of the saints, and they sung a new song saying Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof, for Thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation, and hast made us unto our God, kings and priests and we worthy to open the book. Why was he found worthy to open the book? It says so. Why is he worthy to take the book and to loose the seals thereof? Because he was slain and has redeemed us to God by his blood. How could he have redeemed us to God by thy blood?
Speaker 1:Because he was not in a fallen state. He came to earth as a mortal. He came to earth as someone that could age, that could get old, that could get sick, but on the inside of the inside, he had no fallen nature, he never sinned. He had the divine nature of God, the DNA of God inside of him, so that it was the very blood of God that was shed for us at Calvary. So for what reason was he worthy? Because he was born without sex. He was born as a begotten son of God in the womb of a virgin that had not known any man. He was untainted by sin. Therefore he could shed his blood, and he did shed his blood. He surrendered himself to God so that he could become our sacrifice.
Speaker 1:And what is he doing when he takes the book? So what would have been blocked? The purpose of redemption would have been blocked. The price was paid at Calvary, but he had never taken possession or given us rights back to what man rightfully owned right. And so Adam lost dominion. So what is the book? When Adam lost the book, it went back to the hands of God. What did Adam lose? Adam lost dominion.
Speaker 1:So what does the seals restore? Verse 10,. And has made us unto our God, kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. So the opening of the seven seals restores to man his position and his dominion. And again, this is in process. This is finalized when we walk out upon the earth in the millennium, but it never can be finalized unless the revelation of the seven seals comes to us now. So, jesus, unlocking this book, opening this book, each seal brought a vision to John. Each seal brought a vision and brought a prophecy. When that's opening up, it's completing the plan of redemption. When it finally is opened up, there's a process that's enacted to bring this dominion back to us and that's what it's doing. When this book is there, the book has to make a transition. It can't even remain merely in the hands of the Lamb of God. It has to come down. Revelation 10, 1 shows us this process.
Speaker 1:And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow was upon his head and his face was, as it were, the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire, and he had. This is obviously speaking of the very presence of Almighty God. Right, this is not speaking of some subsidiary angel. This is Christ the anointing coming down in an angelic form. Why is he coming as an angel? He's coming as a messenger, a spiritual messenger, in order to bring a message to someone upon the earth. So every one of these things is representing the personal presence of God, clothed with a cloud rainbow upon his head, face as the sun, feet as pillars of fire. The cloud, rainbow upon his head, face as the sun, feet as pillars of fire. When that cloud appeared in 1963, that was him coming down with an open book to bring a message to a messenger and deliver it unto us. And he had in his hand a little book open. This is that same book. Now it becomes little. Why? Because we have a mighty angel, a great angel coming that puts his foot upon the sea and his foot upon the earth.
Speaker 1:And verse 3, he cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roared. And when he had cried, seven thundered their voices. So he cries out. So what does it mean to cry out? It's speaking of preaching a message. So he's bringing a message. And when he speaks that message, what does he speak? As when a lion roareth. We read that before the lion of the tribe of Judah has prepared. So what is he coming? He's coming what? As a lion. He's coming as a judge. That's what Brother Branham says. Supreme authority, supreme deity, the judge of heaven and earth, has come down with an open book, and when he cries out, what does that know their voices?
Speaker 1:Brother Branham met seven angels in the desert, in the Arizona desert. To do what? To bring him the message to preach the seven seals. When the seven thunders had uttered their voices, he was about to write. So they spoke something. They spoke a revelation of the word, and he was about to write it. He heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not. So this is showing us the silence in heaven. For the space of half an hour there was silence. Why? Because it's speaking of what the coming of the Lord. Not even the angels of heaven would know it, neither would they know what the seven thunders uttered. Right Now, it's not even written what they uttered.
Speaker 1:However, we also know that any revelation that comes forth from the Bible must be in line with the Scriptures, and so it's very important to understand that and see that the revelation comes out of the word, not a post-biblical revelation. The canon was closed with the book of Revelation, and so, okay, keep reading, skip over to verse 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 has declared to his servants, the prophets. So what is the mighty angel doing? What is the seven thunders uttering? They're bringing forth the mystery of God to a completion, as he's declared to his servants, the prophets. Remember, brother Branham told us and taught us that Christ is the mystery of God revealed.
Speaker 1:God had one purpose in mind in order to reveal himself. And how does he do it? It's threefold God revealed in Christ. God revealed in fullness in the church, to bring preeminence and a restoration back to Eden. Just like we talked about the opening of the word is to do what? Restore dominion. So the opening of the seven seals, the seventh seal, the mighty angel coming down with an open book, is to do what it's to bring a wave sheaf over the people, to show this one, this first one, has come to maturity. That means there'll be many more that will come to maturity.
Speaker 1:The seventh, the opening of the seventh seal, is to bring the little book down again and first to reveal it. What, in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, the mystery of god, the little book is the mystery of god. And what is the mystery of God? It's that God made man to be a manifestation of himself and invested his authority into that man. To do what? To speak the word as he spoke the word. All right Now, and it is the rising of the sun, brother Branham says, as Christ was the first one to raise from all the prophets and so forth, although typed in many places, he was the first fruits of those that slept In the bride.
Speaker 1:Coming of Christ, coming out of the church, there'll have to be a sheaf waved again in the last days. Oh, my waving of the sheaf. What was that sheaf? The first one that come to mature, the first one that proved it was a wheat, that proved it was a sheaf. Hallelujah, I'm sure you see what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:It was waved over the people, and the first time that will come forth for the bride age, for a resurrection out of dark denominationalism, will be a message that the full maturity of the word has turned back again in its full power and being waved over the people by the same signs and wonders that he did back there Because I live, ye live also, speaking to his wife Because I live, ye live also. What a resurrection that was, and what a resurrection that this is to be quickened from the dead, to be made alive in Christ Jesus by God's quickening power. He was waved to them. The word which he was was waved back to them on the day of Pentecost, the word made manifest. So the seventh messenger, the seventh angel that finishes the mystery of God, is also the one that it becomes the wave sheaf waved over the people. What is it? This is God manifest in the flesh again, with authority over creation to speak squirrels into existence, to speak cancer out of existence, to speak to storms and so forth. These are the things that are showing the wave sheaf, once again, is waved over the people. What is it showing? That there'll be more. This is the first one that's come to full maturity in the Word. Now there has to be more that will come to maturity in the Word. Oh, my goodness, praise the Lord. So what is it?
Speaker 1:Revelation 10, 8 through 11. And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again and said Go and take the little book which was open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. Just a few minutes ago, john was told no man is worthy to take the book, to open the seals, or even to look on the book and read it. Now John is told Grab that book and eat it. So what is it showing us?
Speaker 1:The kinsman, redeemer, christ, jesus Christ had to first take the book. None of us were worthy to go and take that book out of his hands. It had to be redeemed by the goel, by our Boaz, by Christ. He had to be the one that took the book. But his purpose wasn't to take the book and keep it to himself. His purpose was to take the book to change into the form of a mighty angel, to come down with that open book with a shout. What is it? It's the coming of Christ in spirit form, with that open book, to bring a message. The shout, what is the shout? It's the message going forth first the living bread of life, calling forth the bride. We are to take that book. What does it come? It first comes through the church age messenger. That revelation comes through the church age messenger. That revelation comes through the church age messenger. He's the first one to eat the book as a type of John. He eats the book, he becomes into full maturity in the word. He manifests the spoken word, and that's just in part coming into when it's the third pull. The opening of the word is manifested in the fullness of its power into not just one man but into a many-membered body, him being the first.
Speaker 1:Wave sheaf waved over the people and I went unto the angel and said unto him Give me the little book. He said unto me Take it and eat it up and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it up and it was in my mouth sweet as honey. And as soon as I had eaten it my belly was bitter. And he said unto me Thou must prophesy again before many peoples and nations and tongues and kings. This is from spoken word as the original seed.
Speaker 1:Notice what harmony. Jesus never did anything until he's seen of the Father, or the Father showed him first. Harmony between God and Christ, see John 5.19. So will the bride, and he shows her his word of life. He shows her and she receives it. She never doubts it. Nothing can harm her, not even death. For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Amen, then I, for if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Amen, then I got a great big hallelujah.
Speaker 1:Here's the secret the word is in the bride and the mind of christ to know what he wants done with the word. And she does it in his name. She has thus saith the lord. Then it's germatized, so the holy spirit waters it until it is grown and serves its purpose. They do only his will. Amen. I believe it. No one can persuade them different. They have thus saith the Lord, or they keep still, then they will do the works of God, for it is himself in them, continuing his word to fulfill, as he did complete in his days all things when he was here. He did not complete all when he was here, for it was not time yet. He did not complete all when he was here, for it was not time yet. There's harmony. There's a harmony between Christ and the bride. She has the mind of Christ, she does what he says. She has thus saith the Lord, she has the spoken word. That's what she's to have. That's just. As the first one that came to maturity had that, so must the bride of Jesus Christ, the fullness of the bride, have that same maturity and look away to Jesus. Brother Branham says and that is the thing that we have looked for for so long, for at least many years, four or five or maybe longer.
Speaker 1:The third pull has now been vindicated, and I'm sure you all know what it is. Now, remember, there will never be an impersonation of that, because it can't be see, it cannot be Now. It's in existence. I'm warned of this that soon, right at this time now it's just happened so it could identify its presence among you, see, but it will not be used in a great way until this council begins to tighten up, and when it does, when that does, pentecostals and so forth can almost impersonate. Anything can be done. But when that time comes, when the squeeze comes down, then you'll see what you've seen temporarily be manifested in the fullness of its power. See, amen. So the wave sheaf is waved over the people and it will come again to full manifestation in the bride at a later time. Is what he's saying.
Speaker 1:I don't want to get into the details on that. I also don't want to say that it hasn't been manifested. I personally have experienced in my own life one time when the storms were keeping coming and my father-in-law's house was my father-in-law's house was flooding. He said, jason, go speak to the storm. I went upstairs, I went outside to his backyard, I looked up at the heavens and I spoke. I rebuked the storm in the name of Jesus Christ and I told it to go away. And it did it dissipated. Even my own parents called me, said it was strange. There was a storm coming right for the area and it just vanished just before it got to us. So I'm not trying to build myself up or anything, but I'm trying to say there's many testimonies like this. I have brothers from around the world that have spoken and God has brought it to pass. I'm not trying to say I'm trying to say that this is happening now. The bride is coming to maturity in the Word now. She has the spoken Word capabilities now, but it will only increase. Amen.
Speaker 1:In Adoption no 4, brother Branham says Go right back to Genesis, to the original. What is it Now? The world and nature is groaning, crying, everything's moving. What For the manifestation of the sons of God when true sons born, sons, filled sons, speak and their word is backed? I believe we're on the border of it right now. Yes, sir, say to this mountain. Let it be so, brother. I desire so, and so a certain thing done.
Speaker 1:I'm a believer in Jesus Christ. I give it to you in the name of the Lord, jesus Christ, amen. There's a manifestation. Oh brother, my crops are burning out. Yonder, I haven't had any rain. I'll send you a raining in the name of the Lord. Look at that. Brother Banham isn't saying oh. He went off and he prayed and he said Father, send them rain. He them rain. He said sons of God will say I'll send you a raining in the name of the Lord, there shall come. Oh, waiting, groaning, all nature waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Speaker 1:God ordained it at the beginning. He gave man the domain. What did Adam lose? He lost his domain. He lost his godship. That is typed or symbolized by losing the title deed of redemption. It goes back to the original hand.
Speaker 1:So when Christ comes, the second Adam takes the book, opens the seals, comes down in theophonic form, seven thunders out of their voices. The seventh messenger finishes the mystery of God. Then the bride is told come and eat the book. And then prophesy again. So what are we seeing here? Restoration of that dominion. The restoration of that dominion for the bride comes before the rapture, amen. It comes through the revelation of the seventh seal into the heart of the people. She receives that authority to speak the word when she receives that open book. Because the open book revelation to her heart, what does it restore? It restores dominion. Now we will reign on the earth and ultimately it takes its training and characteristics that are happening now. But what will it take us into the millennium, amen. That's ultimately where the manifestation of the sons of God will be fulfilled when creation is set free from its groaning. But it comes in part, as we mature, as we enter into the adoption walk, that we're in preparations for the rapture for now.
Speaker 1:So Brother Branham was the first one, first wave sheaf to come to maturity, meaning that there's a whole crop after that. Hallelujah. I want to be one of them that come to maturity after that, and this is the coming of the Lord, when the mighty angel comes down with an open book, what does it mean? The mighty angel comes down with a revelation of himself. The mighty angel comes down with a revelation of himself. Seven thunders utter their voices.
Speaker 1:Brother Branham gets the revelation from the seven angels, comes back, he preaches the seven seals, he tells us that the seventh seal is in three parts. It is the revealing of the Son of man. That's already fulfilled. That didn't happen in any other age, that didn't happen for the early church. Even Jesus says you shall desire to see. Speaking to his apostles, you desire to see one of the days of the Son of man. But you shall not see it. But then he gives them signs of when they would see it. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the would see it. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. As it was in the days of Noah, the days of Lot, so shall it be in the day when the Son of man is being revealed. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming or the presence of the Son of man. And so that's already been fulfilled.
Speaker 1:The Lord came down through the ministry of William Branham. That was the coming of the Son of man. To do what? To reveal himself to his bride. For what purpose? To become one with his bride. For what purpose? So that bride would grow into maturity and be able to take the position of dominion again. What is it? Dominion was lost by Adam. Dominion is restored by Christ. So this open book represents dominion coming back to the hands of Christ. It can't come directly to us, it has to come back to the hands of Christ. But when Christ receives that dominion again, what does he do? He brings it down to his bride and he tells her eat this book. What is it representing? You shall reign upon the earth as kings and priests. So it's God manifest in the flesh again, to foreshadow that more are coming.
Speaker 1:The bride is entering this place. We have this testimony. Many have testimonies of the spoken word being manifested in their life in this day. Very humble, simple people, myself included, a humble and simple person. But there's an adoption walk that we're entering now, before the rapture that the bride is growing into, that maturity of the word Ephesians 4, 13 through 15. Till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man under the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Speaker 1:This is what we have to get to before the rapture. How are we going to get to it when we're tossed about by every wind of doctrine. This one has a doctrine, this one has his doctrine, this one has that doctrine. There's only one doctrine. That's the reality of the revelation of the seventh seal in this day. And the seventh seal is not knowledge. The seventh seal is a person living inside of other people, right? So there's three parts to the seventh seal. There's the coming of the Son of man, there's the uttering of the seven voices, of the seven thunders, and there's the third part, which the prophet couldn't make out. And the third part can never be impersonated. What could that be? That would be the bride becoming the final voice to the final age. She takes the book, she eats the book, she becomes the book and she receives the spoken word. It cannot be impersonated. The spoken word is the very thing that can never be impersonated by Satan. He can impersonate tongues, he can impersonate interpretation, he can impersonate all the rest of it, but he can never impersonate the bride growing into the character of Christ and, out of that character of Christ and mind of Christ, the ability to speak the word again.
Speaker 1:I'll give you that reign. I give you your healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, it's in the name of Jesus Christ. We don't give people healing in the name of Jason DeMars or in the name of Brother So-and-so. It only comes by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I give you your rain in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I give you your sunshine in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I give you your reign in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I give you your sunshine in the name of Jesus Christ. When we have the mind of Christ to speak it.
Speaker 1:Amen Verse 14, that we be henceforth no more children tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the slight of men and cunning craftiness whereby they lie and wait to deceive, but speaking the truth, again, the spoken word. The bride has the spoken word. She has a secret, she has the mind of Christ and she won't move until she has the say of the Lord. She speaks the word, speaking the truth in love, in agape may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. So we're to grow up into Christ, we're to become Christ, made manifest in the flesh, with the maturity of the word and the ability to speak it. Out of that maturity of the word and the faith to speak it, because we've seen the word always does what it's sent for Amen. So in many ways it's like a repeat of last week, but from a little different angle, a little different approach, and I'm going to keep trying to lay this in as the Lord leads. And I'm going to keep trying to lay this in as the Lord leads.
Speaker 1:As I said, I want to continue to try to do my podcasts every week and we'll do some of the smaller reels that will take portions of the podcast and break it down kind of in smaller bite-sized elements for people and hopefully attract them to more of the Word in this day. But I believe that we're entering into something great and I believe that the opening of the seven seals speaks of something great Dominion restored Amen, spoken Word restored. Adam had it, he lost it. It's been lost, even though it's manifested in part throughout the ages. But it comes to its fullness not in the first church age, second, third, fourth, seventh, but at the end of the seventh. And we're called out of that seventh into the bride age, not the Pentecostal age but the bride age, and we're manifesting the word the seventh seal in the bride age. Let's come up a little higher. Amen, that's my desire. I want to come up a little higher and be shown the things that God has for us in this day.
Speaker 1:Again, any questions, prayer requests, testimonies. Please remember me in prayer. I have some travel coming up. I appreciate that, and also I have a number of things in the works that I'm looking at doing. I'm wanting to do some different types of videos, shorter videos for teaching and that perhaps would even help parents be able to teach their children. I think that's a huge thing. I've been going back and creating some PowerPoints to go through with my girls to my daughters, to teach them about the three sacred virtues and to teach them about what the Scripture says in Titus 2, and also beginning to go through the seven seals to break that down for them and help them to understand it on their level. I believe this is the duty of fathers to do. If you'd like help with that, if you'd like to talk about that with me, please reach out jasondemarscom. I'm always ready to speak more about that and there's much for us to enter into in this hour. There's more maturity. We have to take our position in Christ. Amen, god bless.
