Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ, dear Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen,  

This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. We have these sermons in a number of different countries to share the precious Word of God with as many as possible. I do realize that the time of grace began and it also will end, and I believe that we are now very close to the Return of Christ, and therefore, it has become our main topic. We preach and we teach about the second Coming of Christ, about the calling out, the preparation time, to line up with God and His Word and come back to the true Bible pattern and teachings, as they were in the beginning.

In Titus, the first chapter, we read in the 1^st and 2^nd verse, “Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness, in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began …” I said it many times: you can only live eternally, if you do have eternal life. There is absolutely no scripture which would say that man, that man has a soul that will never die. The Holy Scripture says, “Every soul that sinneth shall die.” And if we had eternal life without salvation, then why did Christ even come, why was the blood shed? So, Friends, the Holy Scripture declares in 1 John, chapter 5, 11+12, “… He that hath the Son of God hath eternal life; and he that hath not the Son hath not eternal life.” So, Friends, we have to face reality and acknowledge God’s Word to be true in every aspect. 

We could share with you many, many scriptures, like John, chapter 17, speaking about eternal life, about the Lord. It says here in John 17, verse 3, “And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent.” But I hope we understand that to live eternally we must receive eternal life. There is only one Eternal, who never began and never ends. That is God Almighty, who dwelled in His fullness of Spirit, light and life throughout all eternity (1 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 17; 1 Timothy 6, verse 16), who could not be seen of anyone, but dwelling in His light. 

In the beginning He came out of eternity into time, and therefore the Bible speaks of “the beginning”: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” He was the invisible, becoming visible, taking on a shape that could be seen and could be heard. 

My beloved Friends, I believe in the oneness of God. I believe there is only one God. He can be and is the Creator, He is the King, He is the Saviour, He is the Judge. And in the Old Testament, even if you go to Exodus, chapter 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, He revealed Himself in one experience supernaturally as “Angel of the Lord”, as “Lord”, as “God”. And if you go throughout the Old Testament, men of God had experiences, like in Genesis 18 the Lord and two angels came to visit Abraham, sitting down, eating with Abraham under the oak of Mamre. My beloved Friends, throughout the Old Testament God had made Himself known – but not yet revealed as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Not a single time through the period of 4,000 years did anyone on earth address God in heaven as “Heavenly Father”, not a single time! Not a single time through the four thousand year period did anybody speak about a “Son of God”. That was totally impossible, because God had not yet revealed Himself as Father in heaven and in His only begotten Son on earth. But over 6,000 times throughout the Old Testament He revealed Himself as “Elohim”, “Yahwe”, “God”, “the Lord”, speaking from the very, very beginning. 

But then He made promises, He made promises throughout the Old Testament according to His Plan of Redemption. The first promise is in Genesis 3: 15, that the seed of God would come through the woman to bruise the serpent’s head and give us deliverance. And then if you go into all the other promises: Isaiah, chapter 7: 14: “A virgin willll conceive.” Psalms 2: 7: “Today have I begotten Thee.” 2 Samuel, chapter 7, verse 14: “I will be Father unto Him, and He will be Son unto Me.” – all these promises throughout the Old Testament, right to Psalms 110. Friends, the scripture from Psalms 110 was mentioned sixteen times in the New Testament. Sixteen times! And, Friends, I am always so grateful to Almighty God that the writers of the New Testament went back to the Old Testament and showed how the promises were fulfilled and how God’s Plan of Salvation became a reality. 

So at the beginning of the New Testament something very, very special happened: The Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary, and you know in Matthew and in Luke especially what the Angel Gabriel said and how things came to pass: “The Holy Ghost will overshadow you and the power of the Most High will come upon you and that which is born of you will be called the Son of God.” What was God doing? He manifested Himself in a visible form in a body of flesh. “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” But, Friends, if you go to John, chapter 1, and if you look it up in the dictionary, there you find the Hebrew word “dabar”. There is one to speak, before you have the word, somebody must speak it. And so we understand: our Lord was the One who spoke all things into existence. You just continue to read in John, chapter 1: “By Him all things were made, and through Him, and for Him.” So it’s not only the Word – He that spoke that word personally was with us, who could say, “I am. Before Abraham was, I am.” – the One who did the speaking at the very beginning. 

So, dear Friends, we have written a number of books, a number of books and we cannot share all these things in a few minutes. But I want you to understand: at this time God brings us back to His holy Word that we can place the Old Testament, the New Testament, that we can see God’s Plan of Salvation very clearly. In Christ, the Son of God, we were placed as sons and daughters of God. Therefore it was necessary for the Lord of Glory to come into a body of flesh, because we had sinned. Adam and Eve sinned in the body of flesh. Right from the beginning every person born into this world was born in the original sin and we all were lost. And therefore the Lord Himself had to come. And, Friends, please pay attention: If the Holy Scripture says “Lord”, leave it “Lord”; if it says “Son”, leave it “Son”; if it says “God”, leave it “God”! Leave every Word how and where it is, because that is where it should be and how it should be. 

For instance, in Luke chapter 2, verse 11, we read: “Today Christ is born in the city of David, who is the Lord.” The Lord! There it doesn’t say “Son”, because He was born as son. But the Son was the Lord Himself manifested in a body of flesh. And this we have to understand. Therefore, when the Scripture says in 1 Corinthians, chapter 12, “No one can say that Christ is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit” (verse 3b), we understand. Why “Lord”? Why “Son”? Why “Firstborn”? Why all these descriptions? And, Friends, the time has come when we have to place all things in the right connection and in the right way according to the Plan of Salvation. 

As I said in my last sermon: Since the third century everything was changed. And to be honest, in the church that came up in the Roman Empire not a single Bible teaching was left the way it was. Absolutely everthing was changed: every doctrine, every action, everything. There is nothing, absolutely nothing in the church that came into existence in the Roman Empire since the days of Constantine that is in agreement with the Word of God. And, Friends, I showed you the last time: even especially the teaching about the Godhead. Can you imagine for one moment: They started to teach: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost. And then they said, “God the Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, the Holy Ghost is eternal.”, and making all these formulations. What for? Do you ever find a single time the term “eternal Son”? Not a single time! Not once! Not in the Bible! Do you find in the Holy Scriptures the term “God the Son”? Not a single time! Not in the Word of God! 

And, Friends, I tell you the truth: I believe with all my heart according to this holy Word of God, that the Almighty for our salvation revealed Himself as our Father in heaven, in His only begotten Son on earth: “Immanuel – God with us”, our Lord and Saviour. And through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit God dwells in us. God above us in the Fatherhood, God with us in the Sonship, God in us by the Holy Spirit! But there is only one God forever and ever! And, Friends, everyone in the church that came up in the 3^rd century, if they start any function they say, “In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, in the name of the Holy Ghost.” Such a formula was never, never, never, not a single time used in Bible days! It’s not a single time found in the Holy Scriptures to be and have been administered! 

The misunderstanding Satan has thrown upon these people, especially in the Council of Nicea, was about Matthew 28: 19. But in Matthew 28: 19 our Lord spoke about the name: “… teach all nations, baptizing them into the name of Father, Son and Holy Ghost …” What is the name in which the New Testament Covenant was made? “Thou shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.” Father is not a name; Father is what He is. Son is what He is. If you are a father, that’s not your name. And you are a son, but that is not your name. These are titles. And the name in which God revealed Himself and can be approached as our Father in heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ. And therefore the apostles understood the great commission, and everyone, whether it was Peter in Jerusalem, Philip in Samaria, the Apostle Paul in Ephesus: all baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ – in Jerusalem, Samaria and in Ephesus. 

My beloved Friends, this is God’s time for God’s people to come back to the true teachings, to come out from the Babylonian captivity! And, Friends, I am asking you in sincerity: Are you going to remain in what was decided to be believed in the Council of Nicea? Are you going to believe what Athanasius, what Tertullian, what Eusebius, what all these men who did not know God personally, who did not experience the Lord as personal Saviour, but accepted Christianity as a religion – are you going to believe to the end all these teachings and practices? No, not me! Never! I have to believe with all my heart what the Apostles Peter, James, John and what the Apostle Paul were preaching, teaching and practicing. 

Beloved Brothers and Sisters, I know this is short-cut, I know these are a few words which you might not be able to place at this moment, but, dear Friends, please understand: The message of the hour is to call out from all confusion, from all prison houses, as we read the last time from Isaiah, chapter 42, and from Isaiah 58. And then we go to 2 Corinthians, chapter 6, from verse 14. “Ye, My people, come out from among them. Don’t touch any unclean thing! How long will you stay in the Babylonian captivity? Don’t you realize that now all Protestant churches go back to Rome and all are united unter Rome? And all religions are coming together? Don’t you realize what the mark of the beast is? Don’t you realize the time we are now living in?” 

Friends, I have to say these things. If I don’t, I am asking you, who will? So, dear Friends, this is God’s time to tell you the truth. And as I said a number of times also that William Branham, God’s servant and prophet, was used in the second part of the 20^th century as a man sent from God with a message of God to the people of God. And this message of the true teachings, evangelistic, prophetic and also all the true doctrines found in the Holy Scriptures must now be established in the Body of Christ! Not a single wrong teaching can remain in the Body of Christ. Everything must be restored to where things have been in the very, very beginning. 

So we have the promise in John 14, where our Lord said, “I go to prepare the place. Then I will return to take you to be where I am.” And I have read to you the promise from Hebrews, chapter 9, the last verse: First our Lord came to redeem us, the second time He comes to take the Redeemed home. And then we read in Revelation 19 about the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and we read in Matthew 25, verse 10, “They that were ready went in to the Marriage; and the door was closed.” 

I want you to be ready. And I mean it. I mean it. I am in the ministry for over 50 years. I mean it. Please, take God’s Word seriously, and may the Lord have spoken to you. Search the Scriptures and have confirmed what we are teaching and preaching. This is the last call in the last church age. Please, hear what the Spirit has to say unto the churches. God bless you, be with you, and once again: We have written a number of brochures and little books with Bible topics. If you wish to receive them, please write. They are free of charge. They were translated into many languages, so that God’s people around the globe are being informed about what God is doing right now.

Be blessed in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
