Dear friends, beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, this is Brother Frank speaking to you from the Mission Center in Krefeld - Germany. 

It’s always a special privilege for me to be in contact with you by way of television. God has led things in such a way that we now can serve the whole earth sharing the precious Word – not only the teachings but also the prophetic part and we did have wonderful response from various countries and now we have the possibility to be in your city, in your home sharing with you the precious Word of God.

As you might know, God has a plan of salvation and we like to talk about it also about the second coming of Christ, the fulfilment of Bible prophecies. We call this ministry: “Apostolic Prophetic Ministry”; we take the Old and the New Testament showing what God promised and also how the promises come to fulfilment. We go to the beginning of the New Testament when our Saviour was born came into this world and then we see His ministry, His sufferings, His death, His resurrection, His being taken up to heaven. And then we find the promise in John chapter 14: “I go to prepare the place and then I’ll return to take you to be where I am.” So, the time has come when these things which were predicted and promised will take place. But before Christ returns there has to be a time of preparation, a time of calling out, a time when all things are restored to where they have been at the very beginning. 

If we read in letters of John the apostle, he states in his first chapter first verse: “That which was from the beginning.” This is very important to go back to the beginning. Genesis chapter 1, verse 1: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” John chapter 1: “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God”, and so forth. So, all things have a beginning. The New Testament has a beginning and of course, time of grace will also have an end. And I’m certain according to what the Scripture teaches that we are now very close to the return of Christ. We are not only in the end time, we are at the end of the end time when according to Matthew 24:14 the gospel of the kingdom is being preached to all nations. But it is also very important to know from the Scriptures who Christ is. We need to know the plan of salvation and that exactly from the point of the Scriptures, not what someone says or interprets but coming back to the beginning to see how God started things and how He continued and how the completion will be when He returns to take the bride church home to glory. 

In 1 John chapter 1 as already stated he refers to what has been from and at the beginning and then of course in verse 6 in chapter 1 he says: “If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness we lie and do not the truth”. It’s so important to have a personal relationship with Christ to know Him as our personal Saviour to have had the experience of being born again and filled with the Holy Spirit. And then one step further as the Scripture says, Paul addressing the Romans: “They who are led by the Spirit they are the children of God.” And our LORD said making the promise: “When the Spirit of truth has come He will guide you into all the truth”. Today we wish to know about many things. From the prophet Daniel especially, from the book of Revelation – we must know who the antichrist is, we must know where the deception lies, we must know who the false prophets are and the false christs. And even in the singular who the false prophet is. We have to know all these things, so that we understand and know how to watch and take care that we don’t slide into things which separate us from God. Right at the very beginning when God created all things, at first He separated light from darkness, right from wrong, life from death. It has to be that way. And now God is separating His original Word from all the interpretations because all interpretations will pass away – they are manmade – but God’s Word remains forever. 

For instance in the prophet Daniel we find in chapter 2 about the four empires which would be upon the earth. The last one of course, the Roman Empire but then in chapter 3 we read about the image that was put up and all had to bow, all had to worship that image. And those who prayed to the God of heaven, like Daniel and Shadrak, Meshek and Abidnego, they were accused not serving the gods, not bowing to the image but worshipping the only true God and persecution set in. And we read in Revelation chapter 13 about the image of the beast. So, we have to know what the beast is, what the image is, what the number of the name is and so forth. These are not only things written, we must have the diving understanding, not interpretation. I have to emphasize that Scripture explains Scripture. You don’t go from one place to the other and making interpretations. You go from one Scripture to the next to show more light and more light and every Word explains itself. Every Bible question has a Bible answer. So, if we read those things in the prophet Daniel, we must come to the book of Revelation. If we read things in the gospels, we must go to the book of Acts, we must continue further on in the New Testament, so that we go from Old to New, from the gospels right to the book of Revelation, so every Bible question will have the answer from the Scriptures itself. 

In Daniel chapter 7 we have again the information about the four world empires but it says here in verse 19: “Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast which was diverse from all the others exceedingly dreadful whose teeth were of iron and its nails of bronze which devoured the whole earth.” Now beloved friends, you can read in the prophet Daniel yourself. And then in 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 shall tread it down and break it in pieces.” In verse 25 we read: “And he shall speak great words against the Most High.” Question number one: Who is the he of the connection spoken of in this context? “And he shall speak great words against the Most High and shall wear out the saints of the Most High and think to change the times and the laws and they shall be given into his hand until a time, times, a dividing of time.” Already speaking about the last 3 and a half years when the last persecution will take place which will come upon the Jews at that time. And the it says here that the God of heaven will establish His kingdom at that time in verse 27. Then again asking who the “he” is who will perform all these things, the main person in the end time, the main person representing religion, representing politics, the person all the earth looks towards esteems high. Who is that person? It says here in Daniel chapter 8 in verse 17: “So he came near unto me and I understood when He came I was afraid and fell upon my face.” This speaks about Gabriel coming to Daniel to give him divine understanding of what he saw. Not explanation but divine revelation of the things which were shown to the prophet. Then it says further on in Daniel chapter 8 verse 24 and 25: “And his power shall be mighty but not by his own power and he shall destroy wonderfully and shall prosper and continue and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.” Verse 25: “And through his policy”, thru this man known as the antichrist, as the false prophet, as the man of sin, as the son of perdition, the man who will have the most high esteem on earth, a man to whom Christianity, Muslims, Arabs, heathens, Jews, everybody will look up to. The main person in the end time will not be some American president or some Russian president. We are dealing with the coming up of the Roman Empire which is the last of the four empires. And the main actor must be part of the Roman Empire which comes into power again. It says here, I continue with verse 25: “And through his policy also he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hands and he shall magnify himself in his heart and by peace shall destroy many.” Usually things are destroyed by war but this man is a man of peace. All the nations, the UN, the United States and other nations fight to destroy but this man by peace will destroy many. Where is the connection in the New Testament? I read it to you from 1 Thessalonians speaking of the day of LORD which would come as a thief in the night and showing here from God’s Holy Word itself that in the very end peace will be declared. It says here, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 from verse 1: “But of the times and of the seasons brethren ye have no need that I write unto you.” When the LORD spoke about the end time and the signs and the things He predicted, He says: “When you see all these things, lift up your heads for your redemption is drawing near.” But of the day and the hour nobody knows. We understand that the time is near but we don’t know the day. We don’t know the hour. And then it says here to continue in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 2: “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the LORD so cometh as a thief in the night.” And here comes the key scripture: “For when they shall say: Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them as travail upon a woman with child and shall not escape.”

Now, these things are all in process. All the wars which have been and are still continuing, all the upraises, all the catastrophes, the whole earth is in a turmoil. But at the same time we see it’s also a time of uniting. All of Europe is being united, we have the United Nations, it’s the time of uniting. The time when the signs of the Word of God are now taking place and things find their course in the end time. So, we see Europe is being enlarged. It’s not enough to have the Western Alliance; ten countries of the former Eastern block are joining and have to be part of the Alliance by May the 1^st in the year 2004. And other countries are joining and it’s the effort to reach peace, to reach safety, to make a safe world to live in. The fight against terrorism, everything is on the move. But beloved, let me tell you this that even the peace which will be achieved will not last because right then sudden destruction will come as the Scripture predicted. So, what are we trying to say today? Bible prophecies are being fulfilled. God is making history. And this is the calling out of God’s people from all confusion. And by the way, in Christianity we do have twp places where the Word has come forth from. One is Jerusalem. All the prophets, our LORD and the apostles were in Jerusalem. And the Word of God says in Isaiah chapter 2 and also in Micah chapter 4 that “the Word of God will go forth from Jerusalem and the teachings from Mount Zion.” But after the establishing of the Roman Empire we all know the forth kingdom according to Bible prophecy started in the year 30 B.C. The apostle Paul was already born a Roman citizen. And this Roman Empire comes up again and we have to understand it will be the last world power and all other kingdoms will have to submit in trade, in politics, in religion; everything will have to submit to the one world power and we speak about the world government, the world community and this is all shaping up right now. But we have to say with all sincerity that the true Word of God which came forth from Jerusalem were the New Testament Church came into existence since the day of Pentecost we do have the other origin which is Rome, Rome. And I have to say it: In Rome not a single teaching is found which is biblical. Every doctrine was changed. Not a single teaching in the church of Rome remained as it was in Jerusalem. Every Bible teaching was changed. About the Godhead, about baptism, about the New birth, about salvation, all teachings were changed. It’s no more the original gospel of Christ which was preached in the beginning. And therefore we have to emphasize that God’s people must now be called out from all things which are not in agreement with the Word of God. The New Testament Church must be sanctified in the truth and Jesus our LORD said in John 17:17: “Sanctify them in the truth, thy Word is the truth.” We must come out from all traditional teachings, from all inherited teachings. Back to the Word of God, recognize the Word to be valid forever. So, only if God’s Word will come into your heart and be a divine revelation to you, then you will see the light, you will see the difference, you will not interpret Bible prophecies anymore but you will have divine revelation upon the Word of God. You will see what the prophets saw, you will understand how the apostles understood and you will also recognize the day and the message. Beloved, whenever God does something on earth He sends a messenger. There was a Noah, a Moses, an Elijah, a John the Baptist, a Peter, a Paul. God always used men. In our time God used Brother Branham, a man of God, in a very special way to announce the second coming of Christ and also to bring us back to the original teachings of the Word of God which we call the message of the hour, the promised Word for this day. And it’s calling out time. The LORD now speaks to His people: “Return to Me and believe my Word the way it is written and it shall be revealed unto you.” It’s my pleasure to have spoken to you in the Name of the LORD. Hopefully that you receive His Word and divine revelation is granted to you. This was Brother Frank speaking to you from the Mission Center in Krefeld – Germany. God bless you and be with you in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.
