Subject: Thy Word is Truth
========================
--- begin ---

Greetings Brethren,

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. (eph. 1:17,18)

Where does this Wisdom, Revelation, and Understanding come from? The Father of Glory! The Spirit of God revealing and opening the Scriptures to you Himself. No man can do this for you, only God. And remember it's the Scriptures that He always Reveals, not the words of a mere man. Bro. Branham said it well when he said this:

Future Home 64-0802
3-4, I have a very important subject. To me its a very blessful one; I hope it strikes you the same way. If I could only give it in the inspiration I received it in---be wonderful, but that'll be up to God to do that. (William Branham)

In this letter I will try to focus on one of the problems which I believe has caused the many divisions amongst those who profess to believe the Message of William Branham. A false doctrine is trying to be built on The True Foundation of Scripture by not having a correct Revelation of who bro. Branham is and his role in the Fulfillment of Scripture. So what we are now faced with is the same thing every church age was faced with after their Messenger left the Scene. And what may that be? The interpretations of men interpreting the Message of the Messenger. What did this always cause? Divisions, Separations, the building of man made walls saying we are right and you are wrong. We are saved you are lost. This is a Denominational spirit. Of course the Message Churches try to deny that they are a denomination but their fruits testify of this.

But I also believe that there are Sheep out there in those message churches that are hungry and want Sheep Food. Are not the ministers ordained by God to feed them? Are they starving Brethren? Remember this Sheep Food is the Word of God which is not mixed with man made creeds and dogmas.

I would like to now respond to bro. Parnell's email concerning some things he said. As I spoke in my last email to the group I'm only interested in getting to the Truth which will build a Strong Foundation for us to rest on. We must have Foundational Truths by which other Truths can be placed on or we will find that we have built something out of hay and stubble which is man made interpretations of the Word. (ref, 1cor. 3:10-15)

Brother Parnell this brings me to one of the Core problems that many have in understanding the Message of William Branham. It would seem that some think that "everything" he said in his messages when and after he open the Seals were "inspired and thus saith the Lord". This would place his messages as Scripture and of which is a False Foundation for his messages. I spoke of this in my last post.

This is one of the very reasons the followers of William Branham are considered a "cult" by the world. It therefore also brings a reproach to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For the Scriptures are the ONLY Foundation a child of God is to build his house on. Try anything other than this and when the storms come all will be lost.

"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a "WISE" man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a "FOOLISH" man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matt.7:24-27"

If you will notice Jesus speaks of the Wise and the Foolish even as He spoke of the Wise Virgins and the Foolish Virgins. And those Foolish virgins are the ones that are spoken of in Rev. 7: 9-17 that go through the Tribulation Period.

e-mail:--------------------------------------8/26/98
I have a few other admonitions my brother, I hope my rebuke is not overwhelming but you need to drop this false spirit that has taken you over. Set your heart and eyes on the prophet's message and look at the bride's revival through the eyes of the Bride Body, Mal.4, Rev.10. If you will do this you will drop this nonsense you are trying to push on people. You made comment that Revelations 7: as if this multitude was foolish virgin. The prophet wrote to us that this is the Bride.

Brother MacAroy, check your teaching with the prophet and I admonish you to listen to the Lord's words before speaking your own ideas. Look at what the prophet said in "Christ Is The Mystery", and he also said Revelations 7 was the Bride of Christ in "Questions & Answers" 8/30/64 and in the "Exposition of the Seven Church Ages" published in 1965. bro. Don Parnell
e-mail finished:--------------------------8/26/98

You gave some quotes that bro. Branham gave to back up your idea that the foolish virgins were not those of Rev. 7:9-17. Let me give the one that you did not post, for the other quote is on the last email sent out.

1161-Q-394 QA 64-0830E
394. Will the prophet of Malachi 4 be the one to call out the Gentile remnant of Revelation 7:9, even though they go through the tribulation period? No, no! After the--the Revelations 7, is where he seen the 144,000 sealed, and after that he saw coming up, coming back was that great number which no man could number which was the Bride. It will have... The... Malachi 4 will be finished and the Bride taken up, and the-- then the-- this group of--of Elijah and Elisha return back to the earth for... The church to go through the tribulation period, but Elijah and Elisha will not have anything to do with the sleeping virgin (they're Gentiles); they'll be sent only to the Jews. (William Branham)

I don't know what bro. Branham was trying to say, but to me it looks as though he got confused in trying to answer the question. Once you read the following in the 7th Seal you will see he had a very good understanding of who that Gentile remnant was. And besides, is it Elijah and Elisha or Elijah and Moses that is to return? hummmm Which one is it? Could it have been he never had the Revelation that revealed concerning this matter? If you was to search you would see that he never did. For it did not pertain to him, nor who his calling was to. That was for a day and hour yet to come. But that is another subject.

Now let me also give you some quotes wherein Bro. Branham reveals the Context of Scripture, not just saying something in a hurry. If you wish to say the 7th Seal is not inspired where will that leave you? Yet I will say this, "not every word he spoke while preaching this 7th Seal was infallible." It is not Scripture.

SEVENTH.SEAL.THE JEFF.IN 63-0324E
536-2 {75} Now, and we notice this interval now between the 6th and the 7th chapter. Now, the 7th chapter of Revelation here is a--reveals a happening. It's not in here just for nothing. It's not put in between this for nothing. See? It is here for a purpose, and it's a revelation that reveals something. Notice, how mysterious and how mathematically it fits right into the Scripture (See?), exactly. You believe in God's mathematics? If you don't, you're sure lost in the... You'll sure get lost in the Word. If you start putting a four or six or--or something besides just the mathematical words, running in order, you'll sure have in your scene a cow picking grass in top of a tree somewhere. You'll--you certainly run out, because God does not... His whole Word does run completely in--in--in mathematics. Yes, sir. Perfect, the most perfect... There's no other literature written like It--like It--so perfect in math--mathematics.

SEVENTH.SEAL.THE JEFF.IN 63-0324E
544-1 {134} Now, there's twelve tribes, twelve thousand out of a tribe. Twelve times twelve is what? Hundred and forty-four thousand. Now, watch, them were all of the tribes of Israel. Now, watch. After this, now here comes another group. Now, the Bride's gone. We know that; but watch this group come up. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations,... kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which setteth upon a throne, and to the Lamb. And all the nations... stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessings,... glory,... wisdom,... thanksgiving,... honour,... power,... might, be to our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders... (Now, he's before the elders here, as we've seen him all through the seals.)... And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these..

SEVENTH.SEAL.THE JEFF.IN 63-0324E
544-2 {137} Now, John, being a Jew, recognized his own people. He seen them in tribal form. Is that right? He recognized and called each one of the tribes. But now, when he sees these, the--he's kind of puzzled. And the elder knows it, so he says, ... Who are these... what... which are arrayed in white robes? and whence cometh they? (John answering now) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest... (John didn't know them. See? All kindreds, tongues, and nations.)... And he said unto me, These are--he said unto me, These are they which came out of great tribulation... (in other words, the great tribulation)... and have washed their robes,... made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and they--he that set upon the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither shall they thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them--sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of water: and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes.

SEVENTH.SEAL.THE JEFF.IN 63-0324E
545-1 {141} Now, we open the--get to the Seal. Did you notice, they were... First we start now, Israel, and then we see the purged church, not the Bride, the purged church by tribulation (See, see?) coming up here, great number of real sincere hearts that come up out of--of the great tribulation. Not the Church, it's gone on--the Bride. There's the church. Now, we find out over a little later, Jesus said that the throne would set and how the--they'd stand in the judgment, each one. Now, we find now that these people were sealed with the Seal of the living God (Is that right?), these Jews. What is the Seal of the living God? Now, I'm not calling any--hurt any feelings, I'm just saying it. See? Do you know that reading after many of scholars who write on this, claim that this group here, blood washed, are actually the Bride? Did you know that many scholars also claim that the hundred and forty-four thousand is the Bride? What a... There's something got to fit out here wrong--in here right, 'cause there's something wrong now.

SEVENTH.SEAL.THE JEFF.IN 63-0324E
555-2 {225} Now, all... When He called them over there, the hundred and forty-four thousand, they were missing. That's right. They're not even numbered in there. And Joseph and Levi is put in the place of Dan and Ephraim. Now, you can look at there; right there it is before you. See? And here's God's promise way back there hundreds and hundreds of years before that. Now, what happened? They were purged during the time of the awful tribulation period. Now, if God's going to purge that's--that virgin that was a good woman, but she just failed to get oil in her lamp, and He's going to purge her through persecution in there, He puts them tribes right in there for the same thing, and purges them during the time of the tribulation period, because it is a purging; it's judgment. But, you see, they, after...

SEVENTH.SEAL.THE JEFF.IN 63-0324E
555-4 {227} And look here. Here comes up the hundred and forty-four thousand after the purging of Israel, and here comes up also... The sleeping virgin comes up purged and has white robes on. See? How perfect, how beautiful that is. Just like Jacob in the time of trouble... See? They... Jacob in the time of trouble, he had done wrong, but he went through the purging time because he had wronged his brother, Esau. See? He deceived to get his birthright. But he went through a purging before he could have his name changed from Jacob to Israel, which was a type of the order of God's type today. (William Branham)

So tell me, which one of these messages are we to believe when some would say All of his messages are spoken in the context of so-called Infallibility from the opening of the Seals to the end of his ministry?

William Branham was a man! He was not God or the Manifestation of Jesus Christ in the Flesh! Everything he said in his messages was not Thus Saith the Lord. It is quite obvious he made a mistake when he said what he said in those other two statements. This is not uncommon, as sometimes he would say one thing but would be thinking of something else or vise-a-versa. Need I also to point these things out and show you that he was just a man and was not infallible? Yet he was a prophet sent from God?

Bro. Branham already had a revelation of who those Gentiles were in rev. 7 when he made those other two statements. And one can see by the Scriptures that what he said here in the 7th Seal is the correct revelation of this. And its the Scriptures that are the Foundation, the Written Word of God. Not the tapes of bro. Branham or the books from those tapes. I can't believe I'm even having to go into such a discussion as this with those who call themselves the Bride. Shame on you! Bro. Branham would rebuke you himself if he was here to do it. How can the people that say they follow this man of God take the Revealed Truths that came by this mighty prophet and destroy them in this way? Repent, and come back to the Word!

Brother Don I don't know who has caused you to believe this way, but even as you told me to check my teachings with the prophet William Branham, I also admonish you to listen to the Lord's words before upholding this concept. For this doctrine is very dangerous to the Sheep of God.

e-mail:-------------True Oneness pt.2 Sat, 29 Aug 1998 by bro.don parnell
After the Opening of The Seals the prophet's entire message was the Word of Truth to separate us from ourselves and from the denominational spirit of the devil. When the Angel of the Covenant, of Revelations 10:1 took over the prophet on Sunset mountain, the 7th angel prophet carried the Word of Infallibility. Before the opening of the seals, the revealing of the seven thunders, you could find things which the prophet was mistaken about. You will not find contradictions in his message after the opening of the seals. His ministry was progressive until then and the Angel took over his ministry.

The Angel of the Covenant, Jesus Christ, did not take over bro. Branham. By trying to say this your in essence making bro. Branham Jesus Christ in the Flesh. That somehow the man bro. Branham has now become Infallible in what he says, even as God the Word. You also say that after the opening of the Seven Seals a person could not find anything which he was mistaken about, or any contradictions. That now his ministry was not progressive, that he had the FULL revelation of the ENTIRE Word of God. Of course if a person believed that he was God, that would go without saying, wouldn't it?

I have already proved that he made a mistake in the above passages. So he is not God nor is he infallible. He was a man, and a prophet, which all the way up until his death Grew in the Knowledge of Jesus Christ for he had many progressions of Revelations months After the opening of the Seals.

I will give you another place where we can see this plainly. And two is a Witness. Of course I can give more put this should settle the matter with those that are Seeking the Truth. Here we will plainly see that bro. Branham had the Revelation that revealed the correct process concerning the Millennium and the New Earth. Before he preached this he believed that in the Millennium would come the New Earth Renovation. Surprisingly I know ministries that say they follow the Message of William Branham that still say that. They need to read Future Home. He preached this Revelation in FUTURE.HOME 64-0802. But just a few days before this Revelation he preached about this same subject with the best understanding that he had at the time. And that understanding was wrong. So he did not have infallibility in his messages.

E-62 Just in one case, how many sins was committed in this city last night? Wasn't it better when the coyote howled down through the desert here, and God looked upon it? when the old Hopi, or Navajo, went through here on his travois? Then look at this filth, and just gaum, and--and traditions and politics. And it's a bleeding, nasty mess that stinks in God's nose. He'll... Corrupted before Him... He'll blow it to pieces some of these days. And He'll burst forth the earth as she'll renew herself with volcanic eruption. And there'll come a millennium then, where the righteous will walk out upon the ashes of the wicked, according to Malachi 4. Now remember, before that happens though, there's something takes place. We get a shaking from a messenger before it takes place. All right.

FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 64-0719M
42-2 And in Isaiah 27:12 and 13 is where He sounds that trumpet and all of the nations will recognize Israel's in her homeland, God with her. Then the Bride will come to be with the Bridegroom, and the Bridegroom with the Bride (and then the great millennium, after the whole world is destroyed by atomic power; and there'll be a new heavens and new earth) shall live forever.

FUTURE.HOME JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 64-0802
20-5 Now, perfectly Noah was a type of those carried over. Remember, when Noah come out, Ham was with him. Sin was still in there. Sin went right on over through the ark, unbelief, doubt went over in the ark, carried above the judgment; but Enoch went higher than the ark. He went on into the Presence of God, but Noah went through and come out, and there was still sin: type of the millennium--of the world's condition. The millennium is not the end of it; there'll still be time after the millennium. The millennium is a space of time, but not the new earth. No, indeed. Notice in that; we'll get to it after a bit.

FUTURE.HOME JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 64-0802
35-4 Now... Or after time has been fulfilled... All sin is gone--taken away at the millennium, at the great white throne judgment: a type of the Holy Ghost. After the world is on fire and baptized, its baptism of holy fire from heaven; all sin is gone; all germs is gone; all devils is gone; all temptations is gone; all evil is gone (type now). (William Branham)

So Brethren if some you believe this concept of the Infallibility of bro. Branhams messages please reconsider this in the Light of the Scriptures and by what Bro. Branham said about himself.

AUDIO.LETTER.TO.LEE.VAYLE TUCSON.AZ 64-0500
E-30 This earthquake here when the... I'm saying something now I oughtn't to be saying. But like up there on the mountain the other day when we was up there. And that rock, when the air come down and started the whirlwind, little did they know that went straight on that way, going north and went right there and struck. That's what caused that place, that to happen in Alaska here not long ago. And there's three claps of it, and there's three things to happen, the rocks, the place, and up there against the wall, and then on into Alaska. And that ended it, because it was a judgment saying. See? And many times, people don't get the... They just come say... It's just... It--it's just... You just have to follow It. You have to... You have to be with It to watch the thing, and to see the infallibility of it: perfect, not the man, but the work that's done. See? (William Branham)

I can certainly understand not understanding doctrines and discussing those doctrines to gain enlightenment by the Word. That is what I Seek myself. But how can we come to the Truth of the Gospel if the people are led to believe that they can just look anywhere into the messages of William Branham from the opening of the Seals and they will have the correct understanding of a subject? And even worse is that it would be the same as Scripture? Wouldn't that also be a convenient way for some to put forth false doctrine because they could simple say, "See he said it right here"? Would that not give them a False Foundation because it would not be teaching the Sheep to look only to the Scriptures as the Word of God? Instead this doctrine would turn them from the Scriptures as a Foundation unto the messages of William Branham, and that with a False Foundation of who he is and how to look at what he said. O how subtle of a trick.

Of course we know of this practice from of old. It is called a Nicolaitane spirit. Means to conquer the laity. To take the Holy Spirit out of the church and give it all to one holy man. The system was set up with a man as the infallible prophet. He had infallibility because it was said he and Christ became one. The congregation was not to look to the Scriptures themselves for leadership by inspiration and Revelation of the Holy Spirit. For it was told that God would not speak to them personally. But instead they was told the Word was only revealed to certain ministers ordained to this holy trust and they only could reveal the divine truths proclaimed from the infallible prophet. A select priesthood where Christians themselves can't receive Revelation from God Himself by reading the Scriptures, it must come through that System and that part of the holy body. Only to those special holy ones that say they have the correct revelation and without them you of course would be lost.

Need I remind you of these things Brethren? Flee from such a thing when you hear and see this going on!

I'm not saying that your doing this bro. Parnell but I know it's being done.

INDICTMENT.THE JEFF.IN V-3 N-19 63-0707
10-3 Brings it back to the original organization of the Catholic church, which the Catholic church believes that God is in His church, and the Word has nothing to do with it, and God is in His church. And we Protestants, as we find in Revelations 17, that all of them heaped up together, and that the Catholic church was the mother of all organizations. And we see that the Protestant organization, yet blindly, blindly, has the same nature of the Catholic church. The Bible calls the Catholic church a whore and calls the Protestant church harlots: said that the whore was the mother of harlots. And that is, people, that's a ill-famed woman, who doesn't live true to her marriage vows. And we all claim to be the Bride of Christ, and yet so untrue. What would make the untrueness? By living contrary to the--the discipline that God has laid out for His Bride to live by (That's my own opinion.), the Bible. And It is the infallible Word of God, I believe. And therefore, we find out that the Protestant church, in order to have an organization, separates itself even from the Scriptures to make its organization. (William Branham)

Christians please heed what I say; place your heart, faith, trust, on Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ is the Word of God, the Scriptures. Look to the Prophet William Branham according to the Authority given him in the Scriptures, not according to the Authority given him by man. Search the Scriptures, and Search the Messages of William Branham for the Revelation of the Word as it was revealed to him also. But don't lean to the Messages of bro. Branham, Lean to the Scriptures and the Lord will guide you in all Truth. The Prophet William Branham is not here, so don't place your trust in someone as though they speak for him by quoting his messages, and therefore are using his Authority; look for yourself. If you do these things you will stay on the straight and narrow. Seek Christ, and always remember He is in His Word! Never in a church or in some group!

The Lord bless you all with the Spirit of Revelation in the Knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Don't hate me Brethren for what I said. I love you all and don't want to see you be devoured by wolves. If you think I'm wrong, pray for me. But I must blow the Trumpet when I believe I see the enemy.

Lord willing I will speak on the rivial of the Bride, soon.....
