– The Book of Revelations Pt.46 (Who Is This Lamb) - Samuel Dale
REVELATION 5:1-7
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.
REVELATION 5:2
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
REVELATION 5:3
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
REVELATION 5:4
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
REVELATION 5:5
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
REVELATION 5:6
6 ¶ 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 and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
REVELATION 5:7
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

101-4 {231} Seven horns was the seven churches (See?), the Seven Church Ages, because that was the Lamb's protection. What He protected His rights with on earth was a God-sent group of people that's protected. See, the horn on the Lamb...
Seven eyes are the seven messengers of the Seven Church Ages: seven eyes, seven seers.
MASTERPIECE.THE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 SUNDAY_ 64-0705
68 The foundation was laid by the patriarch, but the body was built by the Word, which was the prophets. And here comes the Head of all of it; Jesus came on the scene. There when this Headpiece was put upon it, we find in Him the entire handiwork of God. We find in Him the perfect reflection of the Word, for He was the Word, the fullness of the Word. Now, again God has the perfect Masterpiece again, as Isaiah said, "Behold My Servant, My Masterpiece that I have portrayed through all the ages of this perfect One coming. And here He stands right before Me, a perfect..." There in His own image reflecting God, for He said in St. John 14, "When you see Me, you see the Father."...
TRIAL.A_ TUCSON.AZ MONDAY_ 64-0427
E-80 And the Scriptural voice that spoke in Moses' bush, and Moses stood pat on it, so was that a Scriptural voice that spoke in the bush at seven years old. I still stand, and say it's the truth. Because Moses seen that Word had to come to pass; I see this Word has to come to pass. The Son of man has to be revealed, exactly what it said. Notice, it promised that: not Son of God, Son of man. See? Son of man, Son of David, and Son of God.
But after the days of the church age, when He's put out, then He reveals Hisself again as Son of man, 'cause we, being dead in Christ, we take on Abraham's seed, and we are his royal seed. How many admit that, that the church is his royal seed? Well, you see, what He did to Abraham, He's doing the same thing?
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 64-0830E
1160-Q-391 391. Brother Branham, have you made statements recently concerning that church age has ended, Laodicea?
No, I never said it's ended. If I did, you misunderstood, or I said it wrong. It is--this is the last church age; it's the end of church ages, the Laodicea. It hasn't ended; when it ends, the church is gone. So as long as the church is here, it hasn't ended. See?
AUDIO.LETTER.TO.LEE.VAYLE_ TUCSON.AZ THURSDAY_ 64-0500
E-22 We find in Ezekiel the 2nd chapter and the 1st verse (I believe it is), that Jehovah Himself called Ezekiel, "son of man." And other prophets were referred to as "son of man." So to make the Scriptures perfect, He had to come a prophet: Son of man.
And now we find that through the church ages, He has been "Son of God." Like God the Spirit, He's in the Holy Spirit; Son of God to the churches. The Laodicea age, He's put out. Then, according to Luke, there He's to reveal Himself again as "Son of man." When the Son of man is revealed (See?), revealing Himself as Son of man again, not Son of God. Son of God was the Holy Spirit, and they grieved It from the Church, put It out, put the Holy Spirit out of their organizations, denominations. And there He is on the outside of the church in Revelations 3, the Laodicea age. Son of God has been put out, and now reveals Hisself back, "Son of man."
You've got some real good words on that in your--in your--already in your manuscript here.
UNVEILING.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0614M
184 Oh, brother, sister, are you catching it? Look. Don't you see? It's been veiled through these ages according to what God said, and It would be opened in the last days; those seven seals would be broke, and the full thing would come into view of the people, what's took place all along. The hour of the seventh angel's message, all the mysteries of God should be made known in that Elijah, in this last hour: how that Christ is put out of His church as Son of God; how He's revealed as Son of man again; how that the church is to be put in order, and everything for the last day, and no creed, no denominations, just absolutely the Word living in the individual. "I'll take one and leave one. I'll take this one and leave that one." See? It's just... There's no strings, no denominations, no bindings or nothing; it's the heart with God and Him alone. See?
FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 SUNDAY_ 64-0719M
14-5 Now, He's been revealed through the church ages (Now, watch.), through the church ages as Son of God. God being a Spirit, the Holy Spirit, He revealed Himself in the church ages as--in the congregation, as the Holy Spirit among the people.
We find in Laodicea church age, the last church age, He's put out of the church. And nowhere else was He ever put out in any age, but in the Laodicea age. Because they said, "We're rich and have need of nothing."
"And know it not, that you're miserable, poor, naked, and blind, and don't know it."
He was put out of the church age, and then according to Luke 17, He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Now, He was reading the same Genesis that we read. Notice in Sodom what taken place. What was it in Sodom? Abraham...
DOORS.IN.DOOR_ FLAGSTAFF.AZ V-17 N-3 SATURDAY_ 65-0206
117 "I stand at the door," said Jesus in this Laodicea age, "and knock." Did you notice, the only church age that He was put out of His church? All the other church ages, He was inside the church. Through the Methodists, and Lutherans, and so forth, He was on the inside, church. But here He's outside; our creeds and things had run Him out of the church. But He's standing out there still knocking, "He that will hear and open the door, I'll come in with him, sup with them, and give him healing for his eyes, and--and clothes, and give him the riches of heaven; he that will hear Me knock."
BREACH.THE_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317E
76-2 {54} Notice, and is not revealed until--this Book is not revealed until the church ages and denominational ages has run out, and there's time no more. See it? It's only revealed after church ages and denominational ages has run out. That's the reason the thing is in such a scruple tonight. See? They pick up a little doctrine, and they run off here to one side and say, "This is it." Another one picks up another doctrine, runs off to this side and said, "This is it." And each one builds a denomination under it, until we got hundreds of denominations. But still in all of it to see the confusion; the people are wondering, "What is truth?" If that isn't just the condition today...
WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ SANTA.MARIA.CA WEDNESDAY_ 62-0627
E-71 Now, Jesus said... Now, you said, "What was that man? Who was he?" Abraham ought to know. Abraham called Him "Elohim" (Is that right?), "the self-existing One," God, Himself made flesh. And showing that God in the last days...
He said, "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man," that God, Himself, in the form of the Holy Ghost, would be so into His church, so filled, till He'd be moving and operating in the church: God in human flesh (See?), doing the same thing.
UNVEILING.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0614M
314 Notice, what does it do? It finally returns back to the original Seed again. When He come in the form of Martin Luther, when He come in the form of John Wesley, when He come in the form of the Pentecostal, He's supposed to reveal Himself again like the same Seed went in, the Son of man. He revealed Hisself as Son of God through the stalk age, and so forth, but in this last age He's to reveal Hisself as Son of man again. Get it?
UNVEILING.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0614M
318 Now, to the perfect... After the stalk has been formed, after the tassel's been formed, after the grain has come onto the cob, then it has to come to perfection, back to a regular grain again. And remember, the grain must be germitized. See? If it don't, it won't live. See? None of that was outside of them messages will ever come to Life. It has to be germitized to it. Remember, the same Life that was in the stalk is in the grain. See? It's just maturing itself right back. See? He revealed Hisself what? Son of man, the grain that went into the ground. Get the message?
The Greeks said to Him, "We would see Jesus."
He said, "Except a grain of corn falls into the ground." See? All right.
UNVEILING.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0614M
320 Now, what did He reveal Hisself next? In a different form: stalk, and tassel, and so forth, and all the leaves and everything. He revealed Hisself then what? Same Spirit, but in a different form. See? But what's the last of that corn? It comes back to the original grain. Is that right?
And His ministry comes from them reformations back to the original Word again. The Word comes to a prophet, and He promised it in Malachi 4, and to restore the faith of the people back to the original grain. What went in the ground is here the same. The grain is come up through here. It come up as Son of God; now It reveals Itself here as Son of man, and then It reveals Itself as Son of David (See?) on the throne. See? Them three sons, just exactly. Oh, my, again like the original...
MIGHTY.GOD.UNVEILED_ PHIL.PA V-3 N-22 MONDAY_ 64-0629
21-6 Now, when their tradition veil is--of--of traditions of the elders and the Word is broke through (oh, of course, today), then comes in plain view, we see Him: Deity again veiled in human flesh. Hebrews 1 said so, and also Genesis 18. You remember God was a Man, standing there eating and talking with Abraham, and told what Sarah was doing in the tent behind It. And Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man," Deity veiled again in human flesh.
Now remember, Jesus didn't say, "When the Son of God is being revealed," in Luke the 17 chapter, I believe, and about the 20th, 21st verse, somewhere along there; He said, "And when the Son of man is being revealed," the Son of man back in--in--in the church again, revealed in human beings, not Son of God, but the Son of man again, back in His church again in the last days. We find that He promised that in God's promises.
PROVING.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-6 SUNDAY_ 64-0816
235 Now, we say He's raised from the dead. I didn't say it; the Word here said it. They said, "He raised from the dead." He says He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. You believe that? He promised these things to happen in the last day, that the same Son of man will be made manifest.
Now, remember, that was not Jesus talking to Abraham there, that could discern the thoughts in Sarah's mind behind him. That was not Jesus; He had not yet been born. But it was a Man in human flesh, that Abraham called, "Elohim, the great Almighty," showing... And Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom," now watch close, "in the days of Sodom, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed." Not no more as a church (See?), not no more; the Bride's called. See? "In that day the Son of man will be revealed." What? To join the Church to the Head, unite, the marriage of the Bride.
The Bridegroom call will come right through this, when the Son of man will come down and come in human flesh to unite the two together. The Church has to be the Word; He is the Word, and the two unites together, and to do that it'll take the manifestation of the revealing of the Son of man. Not a clergyman. I--I don't know, I... Do you see what I mean?
See, it's Son of man, Jesus Christ, will come down in human flesh among us, and will make His Word so real that it'll unite the Church and Him as one, the Bride, and then she'll go Home to the wedding supper. Amen. She's already united (See?); we go to the wedding supper, not to the marriage. "Fill your flesh... self, of all the flesh of mighty men, 'cause the marriage of the Lamb has come." But the rapture is going to the wedding supper. When the Word here unites with the person, and they two become one, and then what does it do then? It manifests the Son of man again, not the church theologians, the Son of man. The Word and the Church becomes one. Whatever the Son of man done, He was the Word, the Church does the same thing.
RAPTURE.THE_ YUMA.AZ V-5 N-14 SATURDAY_ 65-1204
117 Now, it's all to be manifested in the grain of wheat at the end. Another come back... Now, if you take Luke the 17th chapter and the 30th verse, He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man begins to reveal Himself." What is reveal? Make His revelation of what He is in this day, revealed out to the people, the Word that's made known for the day, revealed to the people by the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, making that Jesus live among us.
HARVEST.TIME_ PHOENIX.AZ V-18 N-6 SATURDAY_ 64-1212
353 Now, doesn't Malachi 4 teach us, that before the great and terrible day of the Lord shall come, that this will take place? How many knows that? And He will restore the heart of the children to the fathers (Is that right?), the faith of the original Pentecostal fathers."
"And in that day," Luke 17:20, I believe it is, Jesus said, "when the Son of man is being revealed," not man, "The Son of man," not an organization. "The Son of man," the Word living Itself again among the people. See?
The Word, Itself, made flesh in you, you are a reflection of this hour, the Message, reflection of it. See? You live again, live the Life that was in Jesus Christ. You're in the Presence of the Son. Then to the...
What happens to it? What happens to that Church? Finally, listen, that shuck pulls away from that wheat when it begins to be manifested. What happened? The Life that was in the shuck, went on out in the wheat. The Life won't change. The carriers change; they denominate (See?): the blades, the tassel, the shuck. But the wheat can't change. It's got to be a ministry just exactly on the Word like He was on the Word, and like the first Church was on the Word, Spirit filled, Word fed; not denominational fed; Word fed.
THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-5 MONDAY_ 65-0125
48 Could we not, could I not say this if I had just been on my toes (See?); the brother prophesied when he said to me what he did. This day... Watch what He did right after the reading of that Scripture. "In the days when the Son of man," not a man, not a human being, "the Son of man will reveal Hisself among His people again." This day this promise, of this hour that we're now living in is fulfilled before our very eyes. He turned immediately to the congregation, and ten or twelve, whatever people it was out there, unknown; He did the very same thing He did at Sodom. This day has this Scripture been made manifest before you. It's been made true before you.
Then, my brother, sister, delegates, ministers, whatever we are here, children of God, how close are we to His coming then? If we're now seeing the Scripture that He promised just before the fire fell in Sodom to burn it up, and likened this day to it, and seeing that Scripture right before our eyes be fulfilled, how close are we to the coming of the Son of God then? How close is the manifestation of the Scriptures, like He did through Abraham, bringing the church up in type, which He was the promise to the church. And now we find out, Abraham's natural seed, how they failed. But the royal seed of Abraham, which is by faith in the promised Word, is now being manifested on the earth today. We are at the end time, my brother, sisters. We are at the end.
RISING.OF.THE.SUN_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-12 SUNDAY_ 65-0418M
15-2 Now, Who is this Son of man? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." And of all the teaching that we have and confirmation of the Word of God, by Word of God, by signs, by wonders, we see today (that in the Book of--of Luke here, that as we just quoted from the--the--Luke the 17th chapter and 30th verse, and Malachi 4, and the different Scriptures that we are acquainted with,) that that Word again is waved over the people, that the dead traditions of man is dead and the Son of God is alive again with the baptism of the Holy Spirit right among us and is giving us Life.

238 Say, the man setting right back here has got that growth on his back. Do you believe that God will take that growth off your back, sir? You believe that God will make you well? Young fellow looking at me, he thought he was going to get passed by. Raise your hand up, sir. That's right. You believe with all your heart, God will take it off for you.
Hallelujah. I challenge this whole audience, in the Name of Jesus Christ. If you could, if... Your conscience, don't let it be seared with unbelief; don't let it be flusterated. Can't you see the Son of man, the Son of man in the form of prophetic Message, returning back again in His church in prophecy, revealing Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever? It's never been done through the age till this time. See? There's the proof of it.
ANOINTED.ONES.AT.END.TIME_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-3 SUNDAY_ 65-0725M
258 Notice, compare them together now when you get home. Notice, Matthew 24:24, Jesus speaking, Paul, II Timothy 3:8, many others.
And now compare that, and then put another Scripture, Luke 17:30, Malachi 4: As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, the anointed Word of the hour, so will these men, not man, men, anointed ones, resist the Truth.
In the very day that the Son of man is revealed, Revelations 10:1-7, read it when you get home... The seventh angel's Message, opening up the Seals... What is it? Not the angel is the Son of man, but the messenger is revealing the Son of man. Can you get it separated now? That's where it seems to be so hard for you. You see? Not the Son of man Himself, but the seventh angel, the seventh messenger, is revealing to the public the Son of man, because it's left the shuck. He can't organize it; it's the Grain itself again. "And in that day Jannes and Jambres will withstand--anointed ones, make-believers, and unbelievers, the church formal and the Pentecostals--stand up against the true Grain. But let them alone; their folly will be made manifest as theirs was." You understand now?
ANOINTED.ONES.AT.END.TIME_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-3 SUNDAY_ 65-0725M
269 Now, I want you to know this is sure. And you that listen to this tape, you might have thought today that I was trying to say that about myself, being that I was packing this Message. I have no more to do with it than nothing, no more than just a voice. And my voice, even against my better judgment... I wanted to be a trapper. But it's the will of my Father that I declare to do, and determined to do. I wasn't the One that appeared down on the river; I was only standing there when He appeared. I'm not the One that performs these things and foretells these things that happens as perfect as they are; I'm only one that's near when He does it. I was only a voice that He used to say it. It wasn't what I knew; it's what I just surrendered myself to, that He spoke through. It isn't me. It wasn't the seventh angel, oh, no; it was a manifestation of the Son of man. It wasn't the angel, his Message; it was the mystery that God unfolded. It's not a man; it's God. The angel was not the Son of man; he was a messenger from the Son of man. The Son of man is Christ. He's the One that you're feeding on. You're not feeding on a man. A man, his words will fail, but you're feeding on the unfailing Body-Word of the Son of man.
If you haven't fed fully on every Word to give yourself strength to fly above all these denominations and things of the world, will you at this time do it, while we pray?

264 No leaven among you, that brings the entire Fulness of the Godhead bodily among you. Couldn't do it in Luther's age, couldn't do it in Wesley's age, couldn't do it in the Pentecostal age; but in the day when the Son of man will be manifested, revealed, brought back the church together with the entire Deity of God amongst His people, showing the same visible signs, manifesting Himself like He did at the beginning when He was manifested on earth in a form of a Prophet God (Oh, Glory.) promised by Malachi 4, promised by the rest of the Scriptures. Where you worship at? The house of God, seated, in present tense.
