“Dimensional Living” Part 5 “Our Victory at Armageddon”
JOEL 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. JOEL 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. JOEL 3:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
REVELATION 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. REVELATION 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. REVELATION 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
THE.GREATEST.BATTLE.EVER.FOUGHT_ 62-0311 55-1 See his attack? Watch. His attack is what? Disbelieve God's Word; that's his attack. There, can you see the greatest battle that's ever fought? There's only two forces: Satan and God. And what's Satan's weapon against you? Is to try to get you to disbelieve your Weapon. He disarms you.Let's listen real quiet now, listen. If he can get you to disbelieve, your Weapon is equivalent; if he gets you to believe that your Weapon is not strong enough, he's disarmed you. …He disarms you, when he gets you to disbelieve that Weapon. When you lay That down, that finishes your fight; you're done.
PSALM 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. MATTHEW 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
It’s obvious that these scriptures are comparing man to trees and wilderness. If a man is like a tree then many trees together would be “A Wilderness”. Look at what John the Baptist told the Pharisees when they came to him to seek out the identity of John. John very quickly identified himself in the scripture as the forerunner of the Messiah.
JOHN 1:22-23 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
John the Baptist entered an actual wilderness of solitude and stayed there while God prepared him for his message of the hour. His message sounded for many thousands of Israelites that the Messiah was in their midst. He instituted swift change with three messages in a six month period. What wilderness did John the Baptist enter when he left the natural wilderness of solitude? John left a wilderness of solitude and entered the dimensional “Wilderness of People”.
He began preaching his “Wilderness” message! He wasn’t preaching to trees and rocks, and briars, and animals in some outback wilderness. John was preaching to people who were wondering in the wilderness of unbelief. There are dimensions of principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness in high places, and those dimensions are in the minds of people, the kingdom throne of Satan.
Then Jesus is led “UP” of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. The journey “UP” is where we have been for fifty years. Jesus was forty days fasting and praying and being tempted of the devil. Let’s take a closer look at how that manifested? Was Jesus led into a howling wilderness of the natural? If so then how could he have been tempted in like manner as we are now? He had to be surrounded by the same spirits that we are every day.
He was surrounded by the desires of the flesh and the things of the carnal fleshly realms that flood the mind. Those are the temptations when you walk among people. If The Lord Jesus were in a natural wilderness there wouldn't have been any of those things to tempt him out there. He was in a wilderness of people and all of those temptations were present.
He was not led out somewhere all by himself in a place of solitude and desert as we think of such places as wilderness. It was the Spirit of the Lord in an anointing of consecration that was upon him as he wondered through a different kind of wilderness? It was a wilderness of people with every doctrine, old creed and dogma and Jesus was facing it all in the throngs of people? The traditions of the elders, theologians, scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, lawyers, were all closing in on him and it was a complete barrage of horrible wilderness.
A wilderness of the human carnal spirit that he had to overcome! Overcoming Satan’s influence is the greatest battle ever fought in one’s mind! The wilderness spirits were in the people’s minds and they were telling Jesus what he needed to be, what scriptures he should be fulfilling, how he missed God, and how he was false because he didn’t match their interpretation. When the picture of the wilderness is turned just right it is more like the reality of today isn’t it?
MATTHEW 3:16 – MATTHEW 4:2 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
JOHN 1:32 – JOHN 2:12 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus.
And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him,
Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
And then we read where he meets Nicodemus in the night in John 3 and on his way to Galilee and Samaria he meets the woman at the well in John 4. All of this was happening back to back within a few days and weeks at the start of his ministry. “What kind of a wilderness was he walking through in Matthew when we compare John’s writings to Matthews?” Look at what the devil tempted him with in Matthew and it will help us understand the Wilderness Journey. Jesus was tempted of the devil in the mind to take the Word of the Lord and use it as a “Natural Word”. And it was on three occasions!
The devil in the wilderness of his carnal mind said, “Jesus, turn the stone to bread, jump off the temple pinnacle and the angels will naturally catch you up before you dash your foot against a stone, and bow down to worship me and I will give you all the (natural) kingdoms of the world. These were things in the Wilderness of misinterpreted Messianic Scripture that the carnal mind was throwing at him. They were trying to make him believe that his kingdom was natural and therefore prove himself in the natural. Jesus, prove yourself! Show the people a real kingdom and not one without observation. Then the people will know you.
Wasn’t it his own disciples that said why doesn’t he go to the feast and make himself known? Why doesn’t he set up a natural kingdom! Jesus faced that devil in the wilderness of the disciple’s minds as he was walking with them and converting them to the truths of the Messianic Ministry. Jesus refused the crowning of the lies of a natural kingdom! He knew his Kingdom was not of this dimension. His Kingdom is 6th and 7th dimensional. He didn’t walk around in a desert with some devil floating around in the air hounding him!
He walked among men, among Israel, with a consecrated life of the anointing in continual connection, while facing the devil in the minds wilderness. Just like all of us are facing! We are being told that we are spiritualists and it is a natural kingdom, just as the devil told Jesus. We are naturalists of another dimension as we know that the 6th dimension is literal, natural, substance oriented and real. It is just super–natural compared to this fleshly mess we are walking in today. We’ve conquered the demons in the wilderness of the mind.
We crossed over Jordan and are not wondering in the wilderness of kadeshBarnea, wherein the children of Israel fell in the wilderness to the lie of the elders and the ten spies. Jesus wasn’t in a barren wilderness somewhere wondering around starving to death and drying up from thirst. He was walking in the “Great Wilderness” of many trees called PEOPLE! Thank God we see yet another symbol of forty days fasting and pray in the wilderness while facing the devil. An anointing is upon us from Sunset Mountain! Since the finishing of the Evening Light!
After appearing on Sunset Mountain with our Lord we are continuing our journey on earth in a new day. We are gaining our experiences as we move from glory to glory. We stepped into the wilderness journey of the red dragon and his prostitute religion that is displaying herself in purple scarlet upon a pale horse of death. However, we met our Man Child and he is Christ Himself as we have been caught up to the throne. The unfolding of these dimensional things will continue until the shadows fade away and the dragon with his wife will be annihilated.
We have been led “UP” in this raptured age! We have come through our wilderness of people with every doctrine, old creed and dogma in the throngs of the masses. We broke the traditions of the elders, theologians, scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, and lawyers, as they tried to close in on us with a horrible wilderness from the bloody red dragon! Overcoming man’s influence is the greatest battle ever fought in one’s mind! The wilderness spirits were in the ministries minds and they continue to reject the teachings of the Third Testament. We know what scriptures we are fulfilling, as we realize the wilderness interpretations don’t match the true interpretation of the Word.
God did what he said he would do for that natural nation bringing them together in the last days as an ensign identifying the generation that would receive the coming of the Lord. It is now a generation past and they saw the coming of the Lord just as promised in Malachi 4, Revelation 10 and St. Luke 17:30. Now the Christ and the antichrist are birthed into the world and the Seeds that were planted in that age have come to maturity. That age was the ending the second coming and we are now matured in the third coming of Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
What is the battle of Armageddon that destroyed all things? Many think that it is a battle fought with guns, tanks, canons, bombs, planes, and political nations. The prophet was clear in his message “The Feast of the Trumpets” that all those spirits of military war had now moved over into the ecclesiastical realm and now the battle was on between Michael the archangel and Lucifer. The battle is not carnal men on the battlefields of nations and politics! The Battle is THE CHRIST AND THE ANTICHRIST! It is not nations and political governments!
THE.FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS_64-0719M 206 Notice, while that group is a riding, making themselves ready to stomp out everything that won't agree with them, there is another group being made ready, after while, Revelations 19. The next time the Church is heard, She comes, also, not upon exactly horses, but the Bible said, "He was on a white horse, and the host of Heaven was following Him upon white horses." That right?
While this group down here has got two thousand bond at the river Euphrates, and has been bound for two thousand years, also that church has bound the Holy Ghost for nearly two thousand years, under martyrdom back there, and under the church ages. It's been bound, not at the river Euphrates, but at the door of creeds and dogmas, that the Holy Spirit can't work in the church because of man-made systems. But She is going to be liberated, She is coming back, that's what the Bible said. And those two meet one another on the battlegrounds, Lucifer and Michael again, like in the beginning.
What did the prophet say this battle between the two, Christ and antichrist, was about? The battle is not about nations ruling nations or what political power would take control! The battlefield becomes The Word facing falsehood! Fighting at the door of creeds, dogmas, and man-made systems! There is your Armageddon! Look at what the prophet said above and then look at this quote in “The Fourth Seal”.
THE.FOURTH.SEAL_63-0321 317-3 {278} Notice. What is this all coming to? (Now, we've just got about twelve, fourteen minutes here, I guess.) Look what this is all coming to. What is it? It's going right back the way it did. It started in heaven; it's coming to the end time battle. The first thing in heaven was a battle. Lucifer was kicked out and come to the earth; then he polluted Eden. Then he's been polluting ever since. And now, from the battle in heaven, it's coming to the battle on earth, and it is to be finished at--on earth at the end time in a battle called Armageddon. Now, anyone knows that.
318-5 {285} Now, the battle started in heaven. It'll be finished on earth in the form of Armageddon. Now, let's watch and see it unfold. And maybe we can unfold it if the Lord help us right now to do this now. Watch it unfold. The mysterious rider (Watch what he does now.) opposed, refused to repent and to go back to the original blood Word. The Word became blood and flesh (See?); he refused to go back to It.
Is antichrist... The true Word Bride is the... He's opposed to the true Word Bride. Takes his own bride (He opposes this true Bride too.), and he takes his own bride and brings her to him in a form of religion called creeds and dogmas. See? And now, seeing the holy Bride, he is against her, but he forms his own bride called antichrist by antichrist teaching, which is contrary to Christ. See how shrewd he is? And now, instead of having a unity of love controlling worship under Blood, he's got a denomination. Instead of having the Word, he took creeds, dogmas, and so forth.
Everyone is looking for some huge battle on earth of the greatest nations on earth and how they will come against Israel and other nations. It may well happen but that is not Armageddon and those teachings are pointing to some fictitious future happening that is not our concern or enemy. Our enemy in this great battle of Armageddon, it is the falsehood, the man-made creeds, dogmas and systems that would pervert the word of God and destroy the purity of Christ and His Wife.
The antichrist are those who oppose the Word of God and there is a terrific battle raging now called the battle of Armageddon! Christ the Word against creed and dogma in the ecclesiastical message churches and denominations. This battle destroys all things! As it was in the days of Noah, as it was in the days of Sodom, there is a great battle and Christ emerged to destroy all things.
Those who entered the ark of God were those who accepted Christ the Word in their day and they passed through the judgments. Abraham and his Seed were never deceived by the worldliness of Sodom and were protected from the filth that plunged all of Sodom into the Eternal vengeance of God. AND NOW, what about our day! Christ, in our prophet William Branham, stood before the antichrist pope and refused to bow before him defeating the antichrist spirit of the age. We were called into the Cloud with him at Sunset Mountain and we lifted above the judgments of God as the hand of the Lord destroyed all things outside of the Word.
Many say, “Oh, but I expected the world to be set on fire by this big battle between nations and men”! The battle is “The Word” against “The AntiWord”. John and Jesus knew that the battle at the end of the Old Testament was not going to be the Romans against Israel or the Greeks and political nations against them. Look at the battle that John described! John said, “When he comes he will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and “FIRE” and the fan is in his hand and he will thoroughly “PURGE” the floor and “BURN” the chaff with an “unquenchable fire” and take the wheat into the garner.
It is “THE MESSAGE” that is the FIRE! The Message is the PURGING, the message does the BURNING, the Message is an unquenchable fire! What is an unquenchable fire? An unquenchable fire is an ETERNAL FIRE!John and Jesus burned off the earth and started a new day, a new message, a dispensation called “The Church Ages”. The prophet came and burned off the earth and started a new day, a new message, a dispensation called “The Fullness of Time”! And we are those who accepted and entered the Ark, the Cloud, and passed through the judgment of Armageddon and have entered into Eternity. Every thing outside the Ark of God is destroyed.
Again, I know this may sound very strange to some but we have given you the prophet’s message all the way through. These things happened. Denomination is dead, done, over. God’s life moved forward and all who stayed behind were destroyed! They may still be walking around on earth but God has changed his dwelling place and they have been destroyed because they would not move forward with the prophet.
There was still a nation called Egypt when Moses was finished with them and had delivered Israel! However, Egypt was destroyed by a prophet sent from God!
THE.FOURTH.SEAL_63-0321 327-3 {356} Now, if you want to see their bodies, let's turn over here to Revelations 19 after--after the Word slays them. Now, the Word's going to kill them. You know that. All right now, you just watch and see what happens when Christ coming in Revelations 19, beginning with the 17th verse. And I saw an angel standing in the sun;... Now, that's right after... Look above here. "And his vesture was dipped with blood, and he's called King of king and Lord of lords."
(In the 13th verse, He's called the Word of God. See? Now, here He is King of kings and Lord of lords.) And I saw an angel... (Now, watch. He goes forth.) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations:...(Out of His mouth, like from God's mouth to Moses' mouth. See?) ... and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and... tread the winepress--press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture (a name)... on his thigh a name written, KING OF KING, and LORD of LORDS. And I saw an angel... (Now, watch, now He comes forth smiting. Who's He smiting? Jezebel and her Ahab, false prophet.)
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls of the air in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God; He feeds them to the beasts and birds. Now, watch over here in the other chapter here of the Book of Revelations. And... (Just a minute.) "Kill with the sword and death and beasts of the earth." See? The Jezebel church, her actually body, is to be eaten by fowls and beasts of the earth. Just exactly like Ahab and Jezebel was in the natural, so are they to be in the spiritual form a church.
