Dear Friends, beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

this is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. It’s a privilege for me to share with you the Word of God in its original form, not explaining, not interpreting, but just taking what God said and convey what the thoughts of God, expressed in His Word, are. And therefore, I shall start today with our Bible study with 1 Peter, chapter 1, from verse 18, where the apostle tells us that we are redeemed by the precious Blood of the Lamb, not with gold or silver, and then he continues (verse 19 and 20), „… Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for you …“ So the last times did not begin yesterday, they began 2,000 years ago. The last days – there is only one more day, prophetically speaking, which is „the last day“ and before that last day – singular – God wanted to send a prophet to bring us back to the original Bible teachings. Not head-knowledge but divine revelation in our hearts. In 1 Peter, chapter 1, verse 24 and 25 we read, ”For all flesh is like grass, and all the glory of man like the flower of grass. The grass withereth and the flower fadeth away, but the Word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.“ This is not only a statement made by the Apostle Peter, this is my statement, it’s the statement of every true servant of God. The everlasting Word is the Gospel and the Gospel is the everlasting Word. We shall turn to Matthew 24, the well-known chapter, and verse 14, to show unto us today the importance of lining God’s Word up scripture upon scripture and line upon line to know that what we say God has already said in His Word. In Matth. 24, verse 14, we read, „And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then the end will come.“ Now, we all believe that the time of grace had a beginning and the time of grace shall have an end. At the same time we understand that there were prophecies in regards to the endtime, in reference to Israel, in reference to the last great empire according to Daniel, chapter 2 and chapter 7, where the man of God speaks about the four world empires and the interest was about the last empire. We just heard it through the news that not only the European countries but all the adjacent countries in the Mediterranean must be included into the European Union. Beloved Friends, I state again, we watch Bible prophecies as they are coming to fulfilment. Nobody needs to give any interpretations any more, for the time is at hand, when God watches over His Word and all is being fulfilled. Now, I want you to understand, beloved Brothers and Sisters, dear Friends, the harmony between Old and New Testament, between the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament. It’s all in a divine order, it’s all in a divine harmony. But we must be in this divine order and harmony ourselves by believing as the Scripture says, forgetting our own interpretations. In Ephesians, chapter 4, the Apostle Paul was addressing the believers and here he emphasizes one Lord, one faith, one baptism (Ephesians, chapter 4, verse 4 to 6). But today we have so many different teachings about the Godhead: we have the teaching that God exists in three divine persons from eternity to eternity. And we have the „Jesus only“ teaching, we have the different teachings. But what does the Bible teach? what does the Word of God say? We have to come back to it. He says, „One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.“ Then again in Ephesians, chapter 3, verse 5, the apostle states about the mystery of God in Christ and then about the mystery of Christ in us, the hope of Glory.“ Here in Ephesians 3:5, „… which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.“ Not in a seminary, not in a Bible school, not in a university, but by the Holy Spirit, by God we are taught, and the Holy Spirit who inspired the Word is the same anointing resting upon us, giving unto us the same divine understanding and revelation. In verse 9 we read, „… and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages (or time) has been hidden in God who created all things by Jesus Christ.“ And then, of course, we are taken into this great plan of salvation. God, our heavenly Father, overshadowed Mary and the Son of God was born – Emmanuel, God with us. And He shed His holy blood on the cross of Calvary, paid the price, gave His life to redeem us and to place us back into our original position as sons and daughters of God (Galatians, chapter 4, from verse 4 to 7). And according to Romans, chapter 8, the whole creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. Now we are the sons of God, the Apostle John is writing in 1 John, chapter 3. But then he states, „… it is not yet being manifested what we shall be.“ But at the moment the Lord returns it shall be manifested, we shall be changed in a twinkling of an eye and we shall be like He is. This is the great mystery of the plan of salvation: God wanted sons and daughters with Him forever and He made a new beginning in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son, as I already stated, who gave His life, shed His blood, redeemed us and therefore it was fulfilled, „God was in Christ, reconciling the world with Himself.“ 

Now coming back to the scriptures of Matthew 24:14, and as we read in Ephesians and also in 1 Peter, the first chapter, „This is the Gospel, the Word of God which remains forever“ and this is what we preach today. In Galatians, the first chapter, the Apostle Paul was very strict and very straight. There is no compromise possible. Light is light, darkness is darkness, right is right and wrong is wrong; life is life and death is death and the Word is the Word and the interpretation is the interpretation and one excludes the other. „In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.“ Beloved, in Galatians, chapter 1 from verse 6 the Apostle Paul was astonished that believers would deviate from the original teachings and practices of the New Testament church. He says here, „I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel“ – turning unto another gospel – verse 7, „which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ.“ If I say today that the perverting of the Word of God, of the Gospel of Jesus Christ started already in the days of the apostles, the original teachings and practices were altogether lost, but now the time has come, the time of restoration of all things. And then here in verse 8 and 9 the apostle puts a curse upon each and everyone, stating, that even if an angel would come from heaven and preaching another gospel the curse would be upon him. Is it possible that people preach a gospel and are under a curse? You would never imagine this and I would not, if the Word of God did not say so. But today we have over 300 Christian denominations, we have all the churches, and, Brothers and Sisters, beloved Friends, every one is convinced to have the Truth, to believe the Scriptures, and some even say, „We must be faithful to the Scripture!“, and when you check there is nothing left from the Scripture in its original form but only interpretations, and, Beloved, because I do have a direct call from the Lord to the ministry, with it is connected a direct responsibility to share with you the original Word of God, and this is it starts with God Himself. Honestly, God is not three persons, like you will put these three things here and say, „This one is eternal, and this one and this one.“ That is totally impossible! The Scripture not a single time speaks about three divine persons. The term „triunity“ or „trinity“ is not found a single time, it’s never in the Holy Scriptures. It was not spoken of before the Council of Nicea in 325. But all the churches adopted the Roman idea that there are three individual persons who talk with one another, who decide with one another. That’s absolutely not true! The Bible 6,000 times speaks about one God, who is the Lord, who manifested Himself from eternity throughout time, and He will be the Same when time is no more, because according to 1 Corinthians 15 the Son will then have accomplished all things, will submit and God will be all in all. The various manifestations and revelations will then have accomplished God’s plan of salvation, and then God will be all in all, and we shall be His sons and His daughters. What really worries me is that so many are just walking on, believing all things are right, when they are not. 

Now we are coming to a very serious part: We read Matth. 24:14, we read Ephesians 4, Ephesians 3, Galatians 1, 1 Peter 1, and everywhere the term „the Gospel“, „the Word“ is being found and used. Now, in connection with Matthew 24:14 I like to read Revelation 14, from verse 6, „And I saw another angel fly through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people …“ Now, the Apostle Paul stated that there is no other gospel but people were perverting that original Gospel, like the man of God writes in 2 Corinthians 11, that some preach another gospel, another Jesus under the influence of another spirit. Now here, and this refers to the endtime, it says, the angel flying through the sky, having the everlasting Gospel which can never be changed, like Jesus Christ remains the same, yesterday, today and for ever. So the Word of God, as Peter, the apostle, states it and now here we are finding out, it’s the everlasting Gospel, the true Word of God which is being preached to all the earth, to every nation, every tongue, every people, and this is what we are doing right now without compromise. And here in Revelation, chapter 14, we have the contents of what all is included in this everlasting Gospel. We continue here with verse 7, „… saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment has come.“ So we don’t only find the statement that the everlasting Gospel would be preached to all nations, but we have the contents of what is included in the everlasting Gospel. It says here, continuing with the second part of verse 7, „… for … the judgment is come; and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.“ Beloved, this is not all. In verse 8 we read, „And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, the great city, because she made all nations drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.“ This is very strong; I would not dare to say this, but if God says it in His Word, I am not responsible for it – He is responsible. He speaks about Babylon the Great which has fallen. At the same time it’s the great city which rules over the kings of the earth. And it says here, all the nations were made drunk by the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Just as in the natural wine intoxicates and you might lose your orientation, you might not find your door where you are taking enough or too much wine, so it conveys in the spiritual realm that the teachings which come from Rome are of the same effects: people have lost their orientation. They don’t find the door, they walk in darkness and therefore, the message of God must go forth, and, Beloved, believe me, I have got no way to persuade you, I can only say, May God open your understanding that this is God’s time for God’s people, so you get acquainted with the true Word of God, with the true message of God, the message of the endtime. And then you recognize that William Branham was God’s man of the hour, sent with the true Word of God, preaching the same message the Apostle Peter and the Apostle Paul and the apostles were preaching. So, in closing, let me say this: God calls His people and this is the last call. The everlasting Gospel includes all things pertaining to the endtime. And therefore God gave us understanding by divine revelation to know the time we are living in and to place all things according to the Word of God. May the blessings of the Almighty rest upon you and may your eyes, your hearts, may everything be opened and may divine revelation be granted unto you. Be blessed with all the blessings of God in the precious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
