Brother Branham is back at Denham Springs High School this evening to preach a familiar sermon: “The Voice Of The Sign.” This is the third time we have heard Brother Branham preach this message this year, and each time, he uses the Scripture in Exodus where the Lord commissions Moses with two signs to get the attention of the people. It is important to note that during this service Brother Branham said, “And every true sign, every true sign, that's sent from God, the... has a voice behind it. Now don't fail. This is my last lesson on this, see.” This is the last time Brother Branham ever preached a sermon with that title.
He also mentioned the 18th birthday of his daughter, Rebekah. Since we are playing the sermons one day later, Sister Rebekah’s birthday was yesterday, March 21. She would be 68 years old if the Lord had not taken her Home in November, 2006.
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.
And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
We believe that every Christian ought to have a--a home church that they go to. Every Christian ought to meet somewhere with believers. And wherever you meet, that's the church.
You hear so much today about it being, God being a good God. He is a good God, but remember He is a God of holiness, a God that cannot overlook sin. The penalty has been paid for, and you've got to accept it on His grounds. And remember, He is a God of anger, a God of wrath. And you'll stand before an angry God, not just a God of goodness and mercy. Tonight He is your Saviour; that Day He is your Judge.
So be sure that you don't leave one thing undone, friend. It--it won't... It don't pay. Don't--don't just haphazardly go at it. Be sure, double sure, 'cause you don't get another chance. This is your only chance, while you're here on earth.
Everything travels in a three, with God. God is perfected in a three. First coming of Christ, to redeem His Bride; second coming of Christ, to receive His Bride; third coming of Christ, with His Bride, to rule in the Millennium. Everything runs in a three.
Now, there has been, there will be, three exoduses. One of them, God brought them in the ark, for an exodus, a ride above the earth. The next time, God brought them out of--of Egypt. And the next time, God takes them up. In, out, up! The next exodus is going up. We are facing one now, the going-up time.
Just like He is doing now, going to bring a Bride out of a church, leaving the remnant of the woman's seed. The Elected will be brought out of the church. The church natural will stay here through the tribulation.
There is only one form of Eternal Life. If you've got Eternal Life, then you yourself was in God's thinking before the world was created. You're an attribute of His thinking, 'cause Eternal never did begin or never can end. You're a part of God's economy, always.
But if it's of God, you'll stand by that Word, regardless, because you were born to stand by it.
And every true sign, every true sign, that's sent from God, the... has a voice behind it. Now don't fail. This is my last lesson on this, see. Every true sign... Now we have signs that's not from God; Satan can almost impersonate anything that there is. But a true sign, sent from God, has the voice of God behind it.
God gives signs to attract the attention of His people. Signs are to attract the attention of God's people, God's signs is.
Now God is going to speak by His promised Word. He must send His prophet, for the Word comes to the prophet. The Bible said, God said, Himself, that, "He does nothing until He reveals it to His servants the prophets first." See? And then the sign is given. And the Scripture is identified, that's the Voice of the sign.
Again, the coming of a prophet is a sign. Did you know that? The coming of a prophet, to the age, is a sign.
Now, I don't mean a Doctor of Divinity. I don't mean some loyal pastor, some good person. Them is fine. Them is God's servants.
But a prophet is a sign. The Bible says so here. And what's the sign of? It's a sign that His Word is fixing to fulfill, be fulfilled by the voice of this prophet's sign.
Notice, the coming of a prophet is a warning sign of judgment at hand. Did you know that? Judgment is ready to strike if there is a prophet in the land.
What is the elected ready for? When they see a God-sent sign, they look back in the Scripture and see if that's supposed to be there. "Yeah, here it is." What is it? Pending judgment. Then the elected listens to the voice.
You know what ABC means? Always believe Christ.
God will build His Church upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, and that's the Bible. Outside of that, all other grounds is sinking sands. God doesn't change. His nature doesn't change.
If you can see the Scriptures, also, Luke 17 is the sign, and Malachi 4 is the Voice. The sign was like God manifested in flesh, knowing the secrets of the heart; and the Voice of Malachi 4 was turning the people away from their creeds, back to the Faith of the fathers. That's the sign.
Believe that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, has, is not dead. He is alive. He is in humility, humble. He always dwelt like that. The way up is down. Humble yourselves, get away from your starchy ideas, and believe the Lord Jesus. See the sign, then believe the Voice. Return, O dispersed, to your own!
