Ladies and gentlemen, beloved brothers and sisters in Christ. This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld – Germany.

We look back to very special meetings and blessings the LORD bestowed upon us. About eight nine hundred people gathered for the convention. And we just praise God for what He is doing right now. Also it could be mentioned that we have had wonderful meetings in Pakistan. Altogether we had eight services – one was an open air meeting where over three thousand people gathered in that Islamic country to hear the Word of God.

Beloved, we do claim to have the message of the hour: God’s promised Word for this day. And we understand from the Holy Scriptures that before the Return of Christ all things must be brought back, must be restored to where they have been right at the very beginning – in teaching, in practise, in the spiritual life, in the natural life, within the local church, within the body of Christ, everything must be at the end as it has been right at the beginning. The same gospel, the same baptism, the same baptism of the Holy Spirit, the same signs and wonders, the same confirmation of God’s Word with the believers. We call it: Restoration, because the Scripture promises this in Malachi chapter 4 that God would send a prophet before the great and dreadful day of judgment would come. Confirmed by our LORD in Matthew 17, verse 11: “Truly Elijah shall first come and restore all things.” Again confirmed in Mark chapter 9, verse 12: “Verily Elijah shall first come and restore all things.” To make it short but clear: There was one person in our time by the name of William Branham who had a direct commission, a calling from the LORD as Moses had, as Elijah had, as John the Baptist had, as the apostle had, as the apostle Paul had and especially John on the isle of Patmos. There are decisions God makes, asking nobody according to His plan of salvation. 

We have to understand that we’re not dealing with Moses or with Abraham, we’re dealing with God Who makes history upon earth using nations, like the nation of Israel, using individuals as prophets, using the apostles according to the plan of salvation. In our time the start after World War II was with the ministry of Brother Branham who received a direct commission. I knew Brother Branham for ten years, right from 1955 to 1965. I’m an eyewitness. I’m an ear witness of what God has done in our time. Truly Bible days were with us. Again apostolic times were with us. And I share with you the true Word of God. You might believe or not, it’s always the same thing. Some understand by divine revelation and some misunderstand because they don’t receive God’s promised Word. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. If you read in Romans chapter 4 about Abraham, that he believed God. My question is: When did he believe God? The moment God made a promise to him. His faith was anchored into the promised Word of God. And from that moment he did not look upon circumstances, he looked upon the invisible as though he would see him. Being convinced what He promised even if it sounds unbelievable, impossible but if God made the promise He is responsible to fulfil it. Now we have to understand that God deals with the church and also with Israel. If you look back to the first generation 2000 years ago, right at the time when the New Testament Church was established inaugurated on the day of Pentecost, it was a lapping over time. Our LORD had said: Don’t go to the Gentiles, just go to the children of Israel. But then the time came when the LORD had become a light to the Gentiles. And then the apostle Paul especially in Romans 9, 10 and 11 shares with us how God dealt at first with Israel and how the branches of the natural olive tree were taken off and out because of disbelieve. And how we from the wild olive tree were placed into the natural olive tree and then he also shares with us that after the church is called out from all the nations on earth, God turns again to Israel. One of the wonderful scriptures is in Isaiah chapter 10 from verse 12: “Wherefore it shall come to pass that when the LORD has performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem.” Going to Romans chapter 9, verse 28: “He shall finish the work and cut it short in righteousness because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth.” We can refer to many many scriptures, speaking about the end time, about the New Testament Church, about the bride being called out to be prepared and get ready for the coming of the bridegroom. We could speak about the gathering of Israel from all nations. In fact I always love to go to Israel, that is the only time in a year when I take a few days off and just spend those days with a group of brothers and sisters in Israel. From 143 nations the Jews returned to the promised land. And here is the point. If  they remain in New York or Los Angeles or Auckland or any city on earth, they will not have part in what God promised to Israel when the two prophets will arise and prophesy in Jerusalem according to Revelation 11 when the 144,000 from each tribe will be called out and sealed. We have to be in the promised Word of God. We have to be there where God fulfils what He promised. We can not have our own ways and then just sing, have charismatic meetings, speak about the end time -  No, No, that is not enough. You must be in the promised Word for the end time to have part in what God is going to do finally in the completion of the New Testament Church at the coming of Jesus Christ our bridegroom. Therefore the Scripture says in Matthew chapter 25, verse 10: “They that were ready went in to the marriage and the door was closed.” 

Beloved, this is preparation time, calling out time, the time to wake up, the time to get ready for the coming of the bridegroom. At the same time we understand that only those who are part of the bride will listen to the voice of the bridegroom. Our LORD puts it like this: “My sheep hear my voice.” Finished. In every religion people listen to the voice that is in that certain religion. You look into all denominations. We know how many there are: 347. And all have their own teachings, their own explanations and everybody, all the leaders they are the voice to those who belong that certain denomination. But I speak to the bride church, to those who believe the promised Word of God for this day. I don’t believe in any religion. I even don’t believe in the Jewish religion or the Christian religion. I believe in God who revealed Himself in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son. I don’t believe in any books written in Judaism. I just believe the Torah, the Tenach, the five books of Moses and the rest of the Old Testament. I don’t believe what is written in the Mishna. I don’t believe what is written in the Jerusalem Talmud. I don’t believe what is written in the Babylonian Talmud and I don’t believe anything. I just believe God’s original Word. All the other things are explanations, interpretations but not the original Word. So it is in all Christian denominations. You have a catechism, you have the contents of believe. And you might even call it: “Apostolic doctrine” or “Apostolic creed.” But apostolic is not what was issued and decided 325 in Nicea or 385 in Chalcedon or 441 anywhere. No, I don’t believe these things. I believe God’s original Word. And one step further. I believe that only God’s original Word is the true seed of God. Everything else is deception, is interpretation. And in every interpretation is the bite of the serpent and there is poison in every interpretation as it was in the Garden of Eden. God gave His Word very plain, strict, straight: “The day you eat of the fruit of this tree you shall die.” And the serpent coming along speaking nicely to Eve, walking upright and putting her into a discussion: “Did God say that you will die? Surely you will not die”. And just twisting the Word of God.

And beloved, if I say today that God’s Word is being twisted, is being interpreted. And this should never be done. Our LORD says in Mark 7, verse 7: “In vain do they worship me.” Because they believe doctrines of men instead of the Word of God. The apostle Paul writing to the Thessalonians, he makes a tremendous statement, he says the Word I preached unto you, you did not receive it as a Word of men but as what it is in reality: as the Word of God! Beloved, this is the Word of God and no scripture is of any private interpretation. Interpretations lead us away from God. Only the Word connects us to God.

Beloved, let us mention a few more points about believing as the Scripture says. This is the main point. If you go to the Scripture, you never find that any prophet or any apostle divided God into three equal, eternal persons; saying, the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Ghost is God, saying God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost. This is not in the Scripture! Not a single time! The Bible only speaks of one God who from the first page of this book which says: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” HE introduced Himself to humanity from the very beginning. We don’t need to explain God. We just need to accept Him the way He revealed Himself onto us. Throughout all the Old Testament He spoke to the prophets. He visited Abraham as LORD and sat down to have a meal with him. He spoke to the prophets. In the New Testament, this one God, the God of Israel revealed Himself in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. But the Son was not born by the Father as the trinity teaching goes some time in eternity because eternity has no time. Even the terminology is wrong. So, we must go back to the Scripture and see God’s plan and purpose of redemption to bring us back, to adopt us, to take us back into our proper relationship with Himself. So, in the New Testament to accomplish His Own plan of salvation, God revealed Himself as the heavenly Father. And He revealed Himself in His only begotten Son, who could say: “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” So, we must come back and say things the same way the Scripture says them. And the announcement was by the angel Gabriel: “The Holy Spirit will overshadow you and that which is born of you is the Son of God.” So, we understand God made a new beginning in His only begotten Son; so that we are all included as sons and daughters of God being brought back into the relationship with our heavenly Father. Therefore we pray: “Our Father who art in heaven.” Nobody prays: “Our Son who art in heaven.” Nobody prays: “Our Holy Ghost who art in heaven.” We must put things right again, beloved! I don’t say these things to fight or to fuss. I just say that we must turn from all teachings, from all church teachings and return back to the true teachings of the Holy Scriptures from the beginning to the end and believe every Word the way it is written. Even to baptism: When the LORD says: “baptising them into the Name of Father, Son and Holy Ghost”, then we have to respect that Peter the apostle knew the Name, Paul knew the Name, Philip knew the Name in which God revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Ghost, in the only one Name given by which we might be saved. So, they all baptised in the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ. Acts 2 : 38, Acts 8, Acts 10, Acts 19. So, there is no contradiction in the Holy Scriptures but it takes divine revelation to understand and to practise what our LORD said. 

Beloved, may God bless you, be with you. I like to hear from you. We do have literature in many languages, in the English language and you can receive those brochures free of charge. If I don’t see you on earth, I wish to see you on that bright and glorious morning when our LORD shall return and we shall be changed and meet Him in the air and be with Him forever. Please, be prepared to meet your LORD. God bless you and be with you in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.
