Ladies and Gentlemen, Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I greet you from the Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. It’s my pivilege to speak to you in the Name of the Lord, about God’s Plan of Salvation. We believe that the Word was in the beginning – not the interpretation, as the Holy Scripture declares in Genesis, chapter 1, verse 1, “In the beginning was the Word”, also John 1, chapter 1, “In the beginning was the Word.” 1 John, chapter 1, verse 1 speaks about the Word that was in the beginning. And we understand that Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory, the great I AM, the Yahweh of the Old Testament, is our Lord and Saviour in the New Testament. By the Word of His might all things were spoken into existence. God is Spirit and fills all eternity, living in His fulness of Spirit and Life and Light and then manifesting Himself at the beginning in a visible form of appearance, establishing the relationship with man, creating Adam in His own image. And then the same Lord, who created Adam in His own image, came to us to redeem us from the fallen state to bring us back into our original position as sons and daughters of God, forgiving all our sins, reconciling us with God, sheding His blood on the cross of Calvary, forgiving all our sins, and therefore we have to be grateful to God. We did not receive a religion – we met God in Christ personally, and we have received eternal life, which is God’s own life. Now in this ministry we have to share all the aspects which are so important firstly, then true biblical teachings. As we read in Acts, chapter 2, verse 42, “And they remained in the doctrines of the apostles.” But then already in the first century, in the days of the apostles, there were brethren deviating from God’s Word, presenting their own teachings, in fact, according to 2 Corinthians 11 were preaching another Jesus, another gospel and were under the influence of another spirit. So we have to check ourselves according to the Word of God to see whether what we teach and believe and practise is in agreement with God’s holy Word. My decision is the one of the Prophet Micaiah in the Old Testament. In 2 Chronicles, chapter 18, verse 13, we read, “And Micaiah said, ‚As the Lord liveth, even what my God says that will I speak.” The same prophet saw the Lord of Glory on the throne, he heard the conversation the Lord was having with the angels surrounding Him, and then the same prophet had to make the statement in the same chapter of 2 Chronicles 18:22, “Now, therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit into the mouth of these, thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.” Here we have the perfect example of what happens if we don’t stay with the original Word of God. Through the Prophet Elijah the Lord had already pronounced what would happen to Ahab. And the Prophet Micaiah agreed with what the prophet had said before him. But the four hundred prophets wished to please the king, being under the influence of a wrong spirit. If we don’t submit to the Spirit of God and to the Word of God and line up with it, then we automatically come under the inspiration and influence of another spirit. Now, in reference to the teachings of the New Testament, we believe that God revealed Himself as our Father in Heaven in the Son on earth, Immanuel, God with us. And the same God through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is living in the body of Christ, in the Church of the Firstborn. Beloved Brothers and Sisters, it is the same God all the time. In the Old Testament He did not appear to Abraham as Father, or to Moses as Son, or to anyone in a different person of the Holy Ghost. Throughout all the Old Testament over 6,000 times the Lord God is mentioned, but never as Father, Son and Holy Ghost; always as Elohim, as El Shaddai – all the seven compound names of God in the Old Testament. When He revealed Himself to Abraham He said, “I am God Almighty” – El Shaddai. You go through all the Old Testament and you find the predictions that the Son would be born. And then, when the time was fulfilled, the Son was born. Beloved Brothers and Sisters, dear Friends, I am not entitled to hurt anybody, but I wish to present the Truth of God’s Word to you, because only the Truth shall make us free. Knowing church history and history in general, we come to the understanding how the Word of God was translated and not only translated in different languages, but how Scripture was interpreted in so many different ways. And therefore, when our Lord spoke, He was asking the ones he had spoken to, “Did you understand what I told you?” It’s so absolutely necessary to understand God’s Word by divine revelation. The same inspiration and anointing of the Holy Spirit must rest upon us while we hear the Word of God that rested upon those who received it to share the same Word with us. Therefore, the Old and the New Testament is in complete harmony. Now before the Return of Christ we need to know the promises for this day, we need to know the prophetic scripture in which the things are foretold which are now coming to pass. Even if we would read Revelation 17 about the great whore, riding on a beast, I would not know what the Scripture in the New Testament means unless I go to the Prophet Daniel to see what the term “beast” actually means. Just to share it in one moment, not to go deeply into it, because not today would be the time to do so, but if you read in Daniel, chapter 7, it says in verse 3, “And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from the other.” And then we are told in verse 4, “The first one was like a lion…”, the next one was like a bear, the other one was like a leopard, and the fourth one in verse 7 is described like this, “After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly, and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; diverse from all the other beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.” Then if you go to Revelation 17, the beast having seven heads and then horns. So you have to go from the Old to the New, and from the New to the Old Testament, not to interpret Scripture, but let scripture throw light unto another scripture, so that God Himself answers every Bible question from the Bible itself. The time for interpretations is over. In the past centuries great men of God interpreted in many different ways, especially the prophecies written in the 22 chapters of Revelation. But they all missed it, because the time of fulfilment had not yet come. Only when Bible prophecies are fulfilled our understanding is open to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, to understand how things which were predicted and prophesied came and are coming to pass right now. So when we read in Revelation 17, in verse 3, “He carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns”, you can go through this verse and also through the whole chapter and come to the understanding of what is meant: it is the last world empire, and the religious power is riding the political power which represents the beast. The last kingdom, the fourth kingdom, which I should read to you Daniel, chapter 7, verse 23, “Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth …” and so forth. So we understand Bible prophecy is now being fulfilled. The united Europe is coming to world power more and more. Endtime prophecy is being fulfilled right here! Right here! And if you go to the year after World War II, especially to the year 1989: Up till then we had two world powers, two “super powers” they were called. And from that time only one super power is left and this super power will diminish more and more and the United Europe which will be from 1st May in the year 2004 with 500 Million inhabitants, it will be the world power number one. And the religious power will ride this earthly political power according to Revelation, chapter 17. But the true people of God, the children of God, the sons and daughters of God, they don’t unite with all the religions, they unite with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. They do not take out of context what is written and our Lord said in John 17:21. We don’t only take the one portion, “… they shall be one”, we take the whole verse, “Father, thou in Me, and I in them, that we might be one.” Beloved Friends, I have developped such, I would say, almost a complex towards all the misinterpretations of the Scriptures. Everywhere the wonderful and true Word of God is being misinterpreted, is being misused, is being misapplied, and all the religious world believes the interpretations but not the original Word which was at the very beginning. Beloved, sometimes I have to be very strong with this, because I do have a call from the Lord and I wish to say like the Apostle Paul, “I need to present Christ a Bride Church, washed in the blood of the Lamb, cleansed in the Word of God, sealed by the Holy Spirit.” Beloved, the Return of Christ is imminent. All the signs of the time speak about it, and people are having their religious programs, their activities, almost day and night they are busy, doing something, as they think, in the Kingdom of God. But I wish to have part in what God is doing right now according to His promised Word! I am in the Kingdom of God for over 50 years, I am in the international ministry for over 40 years, I have been to over 130 countries preaching in every way possible, in crusades, by radio, by television, reaching the inhabitants of the earth with the last message, and according to Matthew 24 we should preach the Gospel as a witness to all nations and then the end will be. And we have to understand that every word is a seed. If you go into the political world, there were renowned men who started communism or socialism or atheism. They were all sowing their own seed by presenting their words to humanity. And if you go to the religious people, every church is sowing their own seed and every church brings forth after its own kind. We don’t want to mention anybody by name, but this is not what God wants. He doesn’t want more Catholics, more Anglicans, more Lutherans, He doesn’t want more and more denominational people – He wants sons and daughters, people born again by the Word of God, through the act of the Holy Spirit, just like Christ was the Word! In the beginning He was not yet the Son. The Son He was from the moment that He was born. A son is begotten, a son is being born. And if you read in church history books, then you would find the statement – I just wrote it down: “God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.” And then the statement goes on to say, “… and the three persons of the trinity are eternally united. They speak with each other, they love each other, they cooperate with each other.” Can you imagine a person with a sound mind believing that there are three gods, three persons, three eternal ones, who speak with each other, who help each other? My God, what kind of god is He? He is not like this! He is not like this! He is not like this, beloved Friends. He is not! He is one – one! And you shall make no image of God! God can reveal Himself and manifest Himself as He likes. But I am just so deeply hurt in my spirit that the whole of Christianity is being misled and sometimes even Scripture is being misused to support their own doctrines. And this is what I am against! I am holding up the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Where does it say one time that God eternally exists in three different persons? Where? Where? Nowhere! Where does the Bible say that God in eternity brought into existence the Son? Where? Not in this book! Where does it say that God in eternity brought about the third person, the Holy Spirit? Not in this book! In this book, which is the book of Truth, we only find the Truth itself! Beloved, I have to emphasize that now before the Return of Christ the true Bible teachings about God, about water baptism, about all the Bible teachings must be restored before Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, returns. And in our generation God sent a prophet by the name of William Branham. He was a man sent from God, teaching the original Bible doctrines to bring us back to the foundation of the apostles and prophets. And by this message of God’s Word the Bride Church is being called out, is being united with Christ, having received the Spirit of Truth, loving the Word of Truth! And the Spirit of Truth reveals the Word of Truth right now. And I believe, this is taking place with you, dear Ones, who are now listening to the Word of God. Beloved, I speak to you in the Name of the Lord: seek the Scriptures, seek the will of God, find it, and the Lord will be with you, and you will spend eternity in Glory, if you hear what the Spirit has to say unto the churches. Turn away from all man-made interpretations and teachings and return to the Lord that He might receive you! Know the Truth, and the Truth is the Word of God, and this Truth has the power to set you free from all error! May the blessings of Almighty God rest upon each and everyone. May you feel the urgency of the last message and the last call now before the Return of your Lord Jesus Christ. Beloved, I would love to hear from you, hopefully that you can write. Send us an e-mail. I am speaking to you in the Name of the Lord from the Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. God bless you! In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
