The Traps of a mighty hunterThe Trap of “private Interpretation”Part 5 The Third Pull & The “Tent Ministry” EXODUS 40:34-35 & 2 Peter 1:19-21
IF.GOD.BE.WITH.US…THE.MIRACLES 36 Anoted doctor was talking about a miracle that had happened among--a sick person. And he said to me, "Preacher, don't you believe, if you told them people to go touch a tree or a post, the same thing would take place?" I said, "No, sir. Because you cannot have faith in touching a tree or a post." Faith is not that loose. It's got to be based upon some noted fact. You've got to know something about what you are having faith in, before you can have faith in it. So we first must know how and what God's desire is, what God's plan is, and how to approach God by that plan. And then we can walk up boldly to the throne of grace, and plead what the plan is promised us. 61-1231 Traps 5
Questions: • Is there a part of Bro. Branham’s ministry left “undone”? • What was the “tent vision” and has it been fulfilled? • Is he coming back to fulfill that part of the vision before the Bride leaves here? Traps 5
God commanded Moses to build a Tabernacle. (Exodus 25:1-22) • Itwas a moveable “tent of meeting.” • God wanted to dwell among his people, the Israelites, in order to have fellowship with them. (Exodus 25:22) • 21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 25:21-22) Traps 5
EXODUS 19:9-11 9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. 10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai… 22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.

FELLOWSHIP.THROUGH.THE. RECONCILIATION.OF.THE.BLOOD 46 Notice, Israel where ever they was, they had only one place of fellowship. That was under the blood. When a man come to be reconciled to God. The first he had to come into the tabernacle. That was a place where the bodies of the beast was slain. That's where the blood was on the altar and the only meeting place that Jehovah promised to meet the people, under the shed blood: the only place He ever did meet people, and the only place He ever will meet people. 55-0605 Traps 5
TRYING.TO.DO.GOD.A.SERVICE 35 Well, then, in them days, they had only one meeting place where they could meet God, and that was at the ark, under the blood. That's the only meeting place yet, under the Blood. Mercy seat was sprinkled, to give mercy to the worshiper, or the asker, when he come to ask the petition of God. And God had a special routine, the way you had to go about that, and He wouldn't accept anything else. He wouldn't accept any other provision; just the way He fixed it. And we found out, where He put His Name, and that's the only place that He meets the worshiper. Traps 5
And His Name was Jesus Christ. God's Name is Jesus Christ. 37 Jesus said, "I come in My Father's Name." Every son comes in his father's name…. There's only one meeting place that God meets man, and that's when he's in Jesus Christ, only place. And all these old things back here under the Old Testament, typed that. 65-0718 Traps 5
FELLOWSHIP 60 Now listen, Christians... There is no fellowship outside of the body of Jesus Christ. You can't have fellowship with God. No wonder people don't believe in Divine healing… Come in, hear the Word; separates you, washes you. Then come under the blood into the body of Christ, which the tabernacle was the perfect type of Christ. 55-0501 Traps 5
DEDICATION 38 What did God do? Like the ark dropping into its proper sockets for the message of that day, God dropped back into His proper channel, not into a denomination, or into a building made with hands, but into the heart of men. He dropped in His place for the last day, which said the prophet Joel, "It shall come to pass in the last days I'll pour out My Shekinah upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your young men shall dream dreams, and the old men shall see visions." God came to His resting place where He finds rest, not in a building, but in the heart of His people He finds rest. 62-1111 Traps 5
WHY.ARE.PEOPLE.SO.TOSSED.ABOUT 6-3 Then He taken me from there, and I seen a great huge tent. I never seen such a tent. And it was packed and lined everywhere with people. Looked like I was standing above the people, looking down, where I'd just made an altar call; and hundreds and hundreds of people were weeping and rejoicing after they had accepted the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. And I looked, and then heard a man get up and say, "Call the prayer line." And people begin to line up over on this side, the left from where I was looking down towards the platform, and they lined all the way up and down the street for a prayer line. Traps 5
I noticed to my left, which would've been to my right if I was on the platform, a little wooden building. And I seen that Light, they have the picture of, you know, that's always in the meetings; I seen that Light leave me, and go to that building, and go in that building; and a Voice said to me, "I'll meet you in there; that'll be the third pull." • I said, "Why?“ He said, "Well, it won't be a public show like the other."And I came to. • 56-0101 Traps 5
What Is the “Third Pull?” ANOINTED.ONES.AT.THE.END.TIME 262 ...Not when he (the Messenger) starts, but when he begins to declare his Message.The First Pull, healing; Second Pull, prophesying; Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed. No more, there is no more higher order to reveal the Word, than prophets. But the only way the prophet can be vindicated is by the Word. And, remember, the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals, to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in the Word. Do you see it? 65-0725 Traps 5
Can Prophets prophecy something they didn’t always understand? Example 1: ZECHARIAH 4:1-5 1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, 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: 3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 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. Traps 5
Example 2: REVELATION 7:13 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Traps 5
LIFTING.HIM.UP.OUT.OF.HISTORY 6 And now, and I'm hoping and trusting to God, that sometime during this week, that I want to use this little room over here for a prayer room, and to take the sick and afflicted in, and see if He will meet me and start at the Tabernacle again on a new ministry. I would sure love to see it done. I do not know what it is, my friend. I do not have any idea what it will be, but He Who listens now, I trust that it'll be something more to help His poor, sick, suffering children of this day. I promised Him that I'll be faithful, loyal, and try to be more loyal than I was with the other gifts that He has given. And if it shall come to pass, it'll be just as real as the others has been. • 58-1001 Traps 5
Is there a Bible pattern for a command being given to one person and another fulfils it? Examples: Isaiah 49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. LUKE 2:32 (Simeon) A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Jesus refused to go to the Gentiles. Traps 5
ACTS 13:46-48 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. 48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. The light bearer was Paul; the light was Christ… in Paul. Traps 5
I KINGS 19:15 - 17 God commands Elijah to do three things. 1 …when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: 2 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: 3 and Elisha the son of Shaphatof Abelmeholahshalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. I KINGS 19:19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha… Elijahfulfills command #1 Traps 5
The Fulfillment of these Commands: 1. II Kings 8:7 – 13 Elisha goes to Damascus to Hazael who is to be king over Syria. 2. II Kings 9:1 – 3 Elisha sends one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu as King over Israel. 3. II Kings 2:9-13 Elisha is anointed by Elijah. Traps 5
Scriptural examples of prophets who had to return after death to complete their ministries: Traps 5
SPEAK.TO.THE.ROCK 14 Just think all the things that's mysterious now, when our eyes close and we wake with Him, it'll not be mysterious then. All the great mysteries that we don't understand, will just be there when we--when we leave this earth. Won't it be wonderful? 53-1115 Traps 5
I.KNOW.MY.REDEEMER.LIVETH 10 Now we want to draw this first into our mind, that there is not one thing that can destroy us until the purpose of He Who created us has been fulfilled. There could be nothing. We are made for a purpose. 58-0406 Traps 5
TESTIMONY 35 And the baby had a sunstroke, I guess, 'cause about eleven in the day; he was out in the harvest field with his daddy, begin to cry, "My head." They sent him in and he laid on his mothers lap, and died about dinner time. Elijah had a little room. She'd built Elijah a little room on the side where he could pass by: had a bed in there and a stool, a water pitcher. She took him and put him on the prophet's bed. Good place to put him, wasn't it? 53-0510 Traps 5
PRESENT.STAGE.OF.MY.MINISTRY 16 And so far as I know, that every vision that He's ever give me has been fulfilled, except the one that I'm a change in my ministry, to where I'm to pray for people in a little place like a little room under a tent, or a big auditorium or something. It looked, to me, like a tent. You remember that, two or three years ago? Most all of it was brought to pass… And He told me my ministry of the First Pull. Remember about catching the little bitty fish, or missing it? Second one was a small fish. But then He told me, "On the Third Pull, don't fail. And don't tell people." I'm always trying to explain what I'm trying to do. He let me know not to tell people what you're doing. Just do what He tells me to do and let it alone. 62-0908 Traps 5
DESPERATIONS 177 Now watch this week, and when you come back again, watch what's happened. 178 I suppose, by the next time I get back, the Lord willing, I'll be running the prayer line through one of these rooms, in that little room that I'm to take them to, you see.I believe it's unfolding now, you see, the hour. 179 I want to come to where I can bring the people one at a time, deal individually with them, until I search it out and find it, and then go ahead like that, until I stay right with them at that time. 63-0901 Traps 5
GOD.IS.HIS.OWN.INTERPRETER 12 “I was speaking here not long ago in a meeting a man said to me, he said, "Bro. Branham, you have the wrong interpretation. You don't interpret That right." 13 They go to the Methodist, and they say "The Baptist don't interpret right." The Baptist say, "The Pentecostals don't." The Pentecostal says that "The Oneness don't...” And each one says the other one don't. 14 God is His Own Interpreter! He don't need anybody to interpret for Him. He does His Own interpreting. Who is the man that can interpret God? God is His Own Interpreter. 64-0205 Traps 5
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS.ON.THE.SEALS 23 Let me show you something. Did you know there's ten thousands of voices in this room right now, literally voices of people that's coming through the electronic waves of radio? Why don't you hear them…? Well, why don't you see them? They're here, actual voices, like my voice. See, it's got to strike something first to reveal it. Now, do you understand? So just don't interpret nothing. If God wants you to know anything, He will send it to you; so just be real, real solid now. Hold still. Something has happened. 63-0324 Traps 5
CHRIST.IS.REVEALED.IN.HIS.OWN.WORD 136 And again we read, in Rev. 22:18-19, "If any man will add one word to This, or take one Word from It, God will take his part out of the Book of Life.”God will take his part, though he be a minister, whatever he may be... his name is wrote on the Book of Life. God said, "I'll just rub it right off, if he adds one thing to It, or takes one Word from It." That's how infallible God has made His Word. Traps 5
137 You can add to the church, or take from the church. Don't you add to that Word, or take from It, 'cause God will take your name right off the Book of Life. It needs no interpreter, for the Bible said that God does His Own interpreting of the Bible. "It's of no private interpretation.” And all the Scripture is Divinely given, Divinely set in order, and the whole thing is the revelation of Jesus Christ. 65-0822 Traps 5
What Does Bro. Branham Tell Us to Look For? JESUS.CHRIST.THE.SAME 37 …We haven't got time for fifteen years of schooling. The message is urgent. The world's at the end. The time is at hand. These very things that you'll see through this meeting proves that the next move is the coming of the Lord, the translation of the Church: Scriptural. 61-0516 Traps 5
61-0423 ABRAHAM.AND.HIS.SEED.AFTER.HIM …And the gifts of God, the manifestation of God amongst His people, doing the same thing that Jesus Christ did has swept the world across now. She's ready. Now, the next thing is the change and to be caught up in the air to meet Him. 64-0726 RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY 123 …Now, He was in the name, through the Pentecostal Age, in the Holy Spirit, Son of God. Now, the next thing is the Millennium, the Son of David. Traps 5
WHO.IS.THIS 34 Who is this? Not just a man, not just a prophet, but Emmanuel, God with us. Then not only with us, but in us, through us, God in the midst of us. Then, if that is true, a supernatural God cannot change His nature to fit people's nature. People has to change their nature to fit God's supernatural plan. And that's why people cry, "Who is this?" It's God in the midst of His people. They don't understand it. God will never come to your level; you'll have to come to His. Traps 5
God will not come to your requirement; you have to come to God's. And then when that requirement is met upon a promise that God made to redeem the people. If that requirement has met, your entire being changes; your thinking changes. Your habits change. Everything about you changes. Your desires change. Your living changes. Your habits change. You change. Everything about you changes, 'cause there's a new life in you. 59-1004 Traps 5
