ZECHARIAH 4:1 - 10
1 ¶ And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
ZECHARIAH 4:2
2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [are] upon the top thereof:
ZECHARIAH 4:3
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side] thereof.
ZECHARIAH 4:4
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What [are] these, my lord?
ZECHARIAH 4:5
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
ZECHARIAH 4:6
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
ZECHARIAH 4:7
7 Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.
ZECHARIAH 4:8
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
ZECHARIAH 4:9
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
ZECHARIAH 4:10
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they
shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those
seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole
earth.
MESSAGE.OF.GRACE_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-3 SUNDAY_ 61-0827
48 We are all acquainted with this Scripture, that reads the Bible. We know that this was during the time of the preparation of the restoration of the temple. And Zerubbabel was a great prince amongst the people, who had laid the foundation of the building. Now, you, I want you to put on your spiritual thinking, anointing jacket this morning as we think. And this great prince had determined to rebuild the house of the Lord. And then, when he did, he had laid the foundation stone.
And as we read on farther, we find out that God said, "Zerubbabel has laid the foundation with his hands; he also shall bring forth the headstone." I want you to notice: He never said he shall bring forth the Cornerstone. He shall bring forth the Headstone.
MESSAGE.OF.GRACE_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-3 SUNDAY_ 61-0827
50 And we know that the Scripture says that Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone, and He's also the Headstone. Now, if we will think for a few minutes, that the seventh church messenger was to restore the faith of the children back to the fathers, in other words, rebuild the church again under the power of the Spirit. "Not by power, not by might, but by My Spirit," saith the Lord. Not by organization, not by denomination, but by the Holy Spirit God will bring forth the church in the last days.
MESSAGE.OF.GRACE_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-3 SUNDAY_ 61-0827
51 Zerubbabel, the prince with Joshua, was the one that was to bring forth this headstone. He had laid the foundation; he'd took the people back to the foundation in type.
Which, we all know that these candlesticks and so forth represented both Jewish and church. They were olive branches, the Bible said here. And the olive branch, we are the wild branch that was grafted into the root of the tame olive tree: Gentiles. And out of these two branches come censor pipes, going into the seven golden candlesticks to give Light to the Seven Church Ages.
GOD'S.ONLY.PROVIDED.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ SHP.LA V-7 N-4 SUNDAY_ 65-1128M
262 The Lutherans, under justification, the feet, raised it like that; Wesley, under sanctification. The Pentecostals under the arms, the works and deeds and so forth, had to be Calvinists... or had to be Arminian, had to be legalists. But now we come to the head, the capstone. "Grace. Grace." the capstone cried.
The headstone crying what? "Grace. Grace." Passed from death and creed into a living Word of the living God. God's only provided plan for His age, His sons in the Word age quickened by the Spirit like a spark that's lit off of something to make it alive; and seated now in heavenly places in present tense, already alive and subject to every promise in the Word. Then what does that do? You being a part of God's gene, a part of the Word, other men a part of God's Word, seated together, manifest the entire Body of Christ, because there's no leaven among you. (See what He's talking about, Brother Brown?) No leaven among you, just the Word only, seated in heavenly places in the door where He put His Name: Christ Jesus.
MAN.THAT.CAN.TURN.ON.LIGHT_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-1229M
162 Yesterday's, Luther's manna would not work for Methodists. Methodist manna would not work for Pentecost. Pentecostal manna will not work for today. See what I mean? Every day it come day by day, fresh, and so has it to the church ages. Luther's manna was the message of justification. Wesley's message was the manifestation of sanctification; Pentecostal was the restoration of the gifts. But this is introducing the Headstone, the last day, the Bride Tree. It's contrary to all of it. And yet It's the same Light for the matured, like the same sun shine today will be ripening the grain for the harvest in July. See what I mean? But the Light today won't do any good back there in July. It's stronger; the wheat's more advanced. It's ready to take it. Amen. Certainly it is. It couldn't take it now. It can then. The season wasn't right then; it is now.
You can't go against God's nature. He's got a law. And to contrary that law kills your plant. You've got to go according to God's spoken laws, and His Laws is His Word. Any law is a word spoken. And a word is a thought manifested. See?
Now, we--we know that; that's true. A vision is what? The Word of God, or something foretold or forecast of an event. And a vision that the prophets had, and Jesus had, Paul had, and all of them that tell of this day was a forecast of what would happen. And here we see the forecast being made manifest, and the people don't even recognize it. See what I mean?

217 And the pyra--pyramid being in those foundations, up into the king's chamber. And just before you hit the seventh wall, there's a little introduction plank there, where a messenger comes out to bring you to the king. (The messenger John the Baptist that introduced to the King...) But the Headstone was rejected. And they don't know, the Stone of Scone, or whatever it is, they don't know where it's at, because it's a rejected stone. But that's the stone that caps the whole thing, that makes it the pyramid through the complete seven church ages. Add grace, add this, add this, there's seven adds, the last one is Christ. Add this to your charity, add grace to your grace, add something else, and something else, till it gets up to Christ is the Headstone, "I am the Door."
DEDICATION_ ELIZABETHTOWN.KY SUNDAY_ 62-1111M
E-35 That's when it found its final resting place, the Shekinah Glory that followed those Capping Stone, not the corner, the Capping Stone, the main thing... All other stones was of non effect until then. But this main Stone came in, the Headstone, and took its place positionally for its resting place for that generation. The glory of God filled the place where they were setting, and there was Shekinah Glory upon the whole building. And the glory was so great till the priests couldn't even minister because of the glory.
SPOKEN.WORD.ORIGINAL.SEED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0318E
108-1 God is taking the elect out of that Pentecostal church (that hybrid), pulling it out, and finishing up the Word. And it's got to be so close until the Word Itself will blend with this Word. There comes the Headstone, crying, "Grace, grace, amazing grace." The Headstone, here you are like this (See?), on there. [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] See, how it way wide down here? And it keeps getting closer, closer, closer (the ministry), after while here come... Here's Luther: justification, justified. Here come Wesley: sanctified bunch. Here come Pentecostal: restoration of the gifts.
Now, God's taking from there, honing out a bunch to make a ministry just exactly like that Word there, because it's got to fit with the Word. There's the Bride; take Her up.
WHAT.SHALL.I.DO.WITH.JESUS_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-6 SUNDAY_ 63-1124M
116 Their big church is to be united... The Dynamics of this church will be a refilling of the Holy Spirit, that we have worked in a small measure while the Headstone is coming down to unite with the Body. But when that Head and Body unites together the full power of the Holy Ghost would raise Her up just exactly like... Even the dead, that's dead in Christ for hundreds of years ago, will rise in the beauty of His holiness and take a flight through the skies. The Dynamics is the Holy Spirit.
STANDING.IN.THE.GAP_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0623M
77 And now, after the Bible had been interpreted completely, then you notice, it opened up the top of the pyramid-like rock (Not pyramid teaching, now, not that, because I... The men who teach that pyramid doctrine... I guess they know what they're talking about. I know nothing about it.). But however, in--it is in the shape of a pyramid. But the cap on the pyramid was never put on. Now, I've been in Cairo and--and in Egypt and--and the cap never did come, because it was a cornerstone, it was a headstone. In the church It was the cornerstone. In the full church, It was the Headstone. So It never did come. It was rejected: Christ. And It will come. And I believe that when It's coming, that the Church will shape into a place from justification under Luther, sanctification under Wesley, and the Pentecostal message; will bring the church to such a minority. And a ministry will be among those people till it'll be exactly the same ministry that Jesus Christ did. That'll bring Jesus and catch the whole thing away.
