Episode 396: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 362

Episode Summary:

But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. (Zechariah 14:7)

158 So we see the evening Light’s here. And what does it do to have Light, if you don’t have any eyes to see how to get around in It? What is the evening Light? The Light comes on, to reveal something. Is that right? If there’s something here, you feel and you can’t understand what it is, in the darkness, then turn a light on. It’s to reveal! What’s Malachi 4 to do? See? Do the same thing. What was the opening of the Seven Seals to do, where all these denominations staggering around in this…?…Is to reveal, bring out. If you haven’t got any eyes, then what’s the use to reveal? There has to be eyes, first, to see. Is that right? To reveal Malachi 4, reveal Saint Luke 17:30, Saint John 14:12, also John 15:24, 16:13. And to also reveal Revelation 10:1 to 7, the opening of the Seven Seals, and the seventh angel’s Message; to open up, to reveal, when the evening Light’s come. Now if a man…

159 In the Laodicean Age, the people were (what?) “naked.” Are they? “Blind.” What good does Light do to a blind man? If the blind leads the blind, don’t they all fall in the ditch? “Naked, blind, and don’t know it.” Even their mental faculties are gone, their spiritual faculties of mental, spiritual understanding. See?

“Heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, and despisers of those that are good; having a form of godliness, but denying the Power thereof.” The power of revelation; they don’t even believe in it. See? They don’t believe in such things as prophets. And so they don’t believe in it. They believe that—that Malachi 4 is to be a certain church or a certain organization.

When he come the first time, he was a man. When he come the second time, with a double portion, he was a man. When he come in the form of John the Baptist, he was a man. See?

In the last days, when the evening Lights begin to shine, eyes will become open and you’ll see where you’re going. Then the Body is already formed, standing upon its feet, taking motion, moving by the Holy Spirit. What? The same One that moved upon the prophets that wrote the Bible, the same Holy Ghost moving in a Body filled with the Holy Ghost, moved in the Holy Ghost, out of every organization, every kindred, tongue, and people.

160 A little lady here, she don’t belong in this organization, or this organization…belong in this congregation. She comes from somewhere else, and she come in this morning, got a picture there. She was…give it to my son, who was very much astonished. I don’t know whether she ever heard about This or not. I don’t know. She had a picture of this Angel of the Lord that was on the Seven Church Ages, Seven Seals opened, out there, when it did. Said, looked back through there, and she seen that standing in the sky, in a dream. And she looked back through there and seen that, seen somebody in white, marching forward; and behind it, said it looked…Said, “Brother Branham, it was you.” And said, “Marched in there,” said, “behind you, was people of different colors, packing banners; Georgia, Alabama, all different kind of places, marching forward,” coming up into the headship to where Christ was being revealed into the vision. Oh, hallelujah!

161 We’re in the last days, and the last hours of the days. Do you see Him now in His Word, and all of His Word made manifest right here before us? Oh, Church of the living God, get to your feet, believe Him with all that’s in you. Hold to that little Wheel in the middle of the wheel, let It stabilize every move and every motion that you make. Every thought that you have, may it be controlled by this Tower on the inside of you. Because, God is setting right in His Word of this hour, in the evening Light, showing forth the Light.

162 The blindness of a bat! You could turn on a light, and the bat—bat would be so blind he couldn’t fly. A hoot owl, all those night prowlers, and things like that, roaches and things, can’t see in the daytime. They don’t know what it’s all about. They can’t see.

And the evening Lights has come on. Every parable, everywhere we go, to nature, to the Bible, to the—the statues that Melc-…that Daniel saw, and—and the king of that day, all of them saw; and all these things, everybody, every form, every move, every place in the Body, positionally shows us the very hour that we’re living in. Not another move can come above it.

There was a move of the hand; charity, Wesley. There was a move, of foundation; Luther. Charity, there never was a greater; it was called the Wesley move. They sent missionaries to all the world. One of the greatest moves that was made, in the age before that.

Then come the Pentecostal age; then come in the different fingers and things, the Pentecostal age, of tongues, and nose, and so forth.

Now it’s in the eyes. What good will you need eyes, or need light, if that eyes wasn’t there to see? There has to be eyes, first, to see. And then when that come, He opened the Seven Seals and revealed the evening Light, taking all the mysteries that’s been hid down through these church ages, and now revealed them as He promised to do in Revelation 10:1 to 7. Here we are today setting in the midst of the Word, and the Word being revealed to us by Jesus Christ. Then, This is God’s Word.

163 And be His subjects, we must walk close to the Author, to understand It, for It to reveal. “O Lord, what will Thou have to me, to do? If I must go to the fields and preach the Gospel, or must I stay at home? No matter what it is, if I must be a good housewife, if I must be a good mother, if I must do this, that, or the other? Whatever it is, if I must be a farmer, if I…Whatever it is, Lord, what would You have me do?”
