After the stern rebuke from this morning's service, Brother Branham changes his subject a bit and shows us how to recognize a true prophet of God. Here are a few highlights from the evening Jubilee sermon, "What Is The Attraction On The Mountain" preached 50 years ago:
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
There is going to be a certain amount of people that’s predestinated to hear that Message, and they’ll follow It. Those ignore the crowds. They ignore the criticism of the unbeliever. They_they have no argument with them. They’ve got one thing to do, that’s believe and to get every bit of It they can...
God, then, what was He doing? What is that attraction up there on the hill? It’s God making history, and God fulfilling prophecy. And that always causes an attraction. It brings all the critics up, the vultures (of this morning’s Message), and the eagles also.
And if scribe, preachers, ministers, spiritual man (so-called), anointed ones, would only read the Bible, they wouldn’t be wondering what’s taking place, they would know what It is. God fulfilling His Word!
What was that attraction? It was God fixing to vindicate His prophet to be right. It was God fulfilling prophecy. God also making history, fulfilling the Word.
And here the very prophecy that went forth, of all the different prophets, was being fulfilled on Mount Calvary. What’s the attraction on Mount Calvary? God fulfilling His Word.
That’s what the attraction is. The predestinated Seed of God who can’t do nothing else but follow It, means more than life to us. Take our lives, but you don’t take That.
“It shall be Light about the evening time,” same prophet. And the people is blind!
You that’s been kicked out, and these arks carried on new carts, get out of there ’fore death strikes you. God has confirmed It. It shall be so.
That’s what the denominations has done to the Word of God, made the Word of God of no effect by their traditions. That’s THUS SAITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD.
But it shall be Light,” when she grows beyond organization. When she gets out past organization, it blooms out again, she’ll put forth oranges like she was when she went into the ground, and then it shall be Light.
He, the Voice, come back, said, “Not a king’s sword, but, ‘The King’s Sword,’ the Word of the Lord.” Said, “Fear not. It’s only the Third Pull. It’s the vindication of your ministry.”
He’s Alpha and Omega; He’s the First and the Last; He is the Supreme Judge of all Eternity, standing there to confirm the Message of this hour. And there shall be Light about the evening time!
And this happened on “Sunset” Mountain. It’s the evening time, sunset time. The sunset Message through a setting of history, a setting of prophecy, rather, being fulfilled.
What’s happened upon Mount Sunset? God confirming His Word. That’s what all this noise is about. Notice, it’s God fulfilling His promised Word again, of Revelation 10:1 to 7, “And in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel’s Message, the mystery of God should be finished.”
Three years ago this mystery was a prophecy, “What time is it, Sir?” But now it’s history. It’s passed. The promise is fulfilled. What time is it, sir, and what’s this attraction? God fulfilling His Word! He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.
To speak a word, is a man; confirm a word, is God. To say something, is one thing; God to do it, is another thing. God don’t need any interpreter; He does His Own interpretation.
