The soon ending of the church ages and the translation
Translation Nuggets 51
THE CHURCH AGES
The book of Rev. 1:11, lists 7 churches of John the apostle’s day, which was prophetic of church history down through our day. In which the good and bad spirits will again prevail at the end of the age with the same warnings and rewards. And it will culminate in the Laodicea Age simultaneously with the faithful Philadelphia group, (Rev. 3:7-8 – Rev. 3: 14-17). In other words, what occurred in the prior ages will occur in a spiritual way at the end of the age. Jesus said, let them both grow together until harvest, (Matt. 13:30). Then suddenly there would come a purging, the chaff is blown out and the wheat (the bride) is taken to heaven. The very next move for us is the uprooting and separation for translation.
In Rev. 2:5, He said, “For thou art fallen; repent quickly or I will remove thy candlestick.” We see the same picture today in the Laodicea Age, His first love is forgotten and His work is secondary; but the bride will listen and not the lukewarm. The Ephesians’ sex oriented culture will parallel the culture that will appear at the end of the age. There will be idols again. In Rev.3:15-16, “Thou art neither cold nor hot. And because of your being lukewarm, I will spew thee out of my mouth.” Also in or day, the cold waters of the Babylon system have mixed with the hot waters of this last day revival in many places and will eventually produce a lukewarm spirit. And in verse 17, the Lord will spew them out of His mouth. That is why the Lord Jesus told me to listen to Him and Him only and not to man and he would reward me and He certainly has done so.
Some of the historical and modern churches who seem to be after the Pentecostal gifts and blessings; but don’t want God’s Word and correction, will go in the direction of the Laodicea’s. All this mixing of brotherly co-operation will produce a lukewarm spirit, finally, yielding to the anti-Christ system, (2nd Thess. 2:4 and Rev. 13:11-18). We are warned by the spirit that some even speaking in tongues will be deceived and go through the great tribulation. There will be the true elect who speak in tongues and believe, who will be translated; because they keep the true Word and the others did not keep the Word with their experience. As the age ends in prophecy, the elect will be like Rev. 3:7-8, the Philadelphian Church. While the Church of Laodicea, Rev. 3: 14-18 will join the beast system.
Right now, this is where the age is headed shortly, Rev.3:10, (the hour of temptation); then into Rev. 3:15-17; headed up into Rev. 17 and ending in Rev. 16; great destruction for those who do not believe God’s word, but accepted the anti-Christ word instead, (2nd Thess.2;8-12). What happened in all the Church Ages will be prophetic of our day; characteristics of the good seed and the bad seed. You have the good seed and the bad seed, (Matt 13:30); God will take out the good seed. Remember the Christians of those ages survived all of those things and so will the elect of our day stand true and they will sit down in the throne of Jesus; and to receive many promises, (Rev. 3:12). Rev. 3:22, “He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches.” Let us daily watch for His coming.

COMMENTS {CD #728 Prophetic Church Age, part 3; Reveal to them the things that will keep them Lord Jesus Christ; the Rock, be connected to the Headstone. The Lord told me, you will never be able to draw the Laodicea’s; they may come to get what you have like healing but no way are you going to be able to hold the Laodicea’s. I have it fixed that way. He fixed my ministry that way and it will not go to the spued out Laodicea’s. At the end, God is going to have a small group of people and He is going to do something to pull them together in unity. Remember Philadelphia and Laodicea are running simultaneously, side by side, the two vines. The end will bring those who are heading to the open door (the translation); while the other group goes on into the tribulation saints and yet others towards and accept the mark of the beast.
The Book of Revelation is from the mouth of Jesus; it is the Book of Jesus Christ. Do not add to or remove from it, such actions have serious consequences that are not reversible. The world including the elect is about to be tempted, through a Federation System coming; trying to seduce people to join it, back to the mother church. Read the Book of Revelation for there is blessing in doing that and keeping the words of it. The delusion is coming, people are tempted to argue, criticize, and go against one another. By so doing some people will pick up the wrong spirit; making it impossible for them to be prayed for. Go to another ministry where you may be helped for such do not stay around here. Don’t allow negatives, jealousy, and anger and hate to build up in you. It will give you the wrong spirit. If possible be at peace with all men. Let no man steal your crown. People expect cool messages that are socially acceptable: but God has not given me such, He gives me messages that are not popular but will do you a lot of good.
Some people at tempted several times a day but it is not sin, until you are carried away. People are tempted to return to old habits. People will find themselves separating from others; more of that will come as more and more demons are released to try you, one way or another. These demons try to put down the true revelation of God in people. According to 2nd Thess. 2:9-12, they did not receive the love of the truth, for which cause God will send them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie. God himself will send them this delusion. He will allow them to believe in the lukewarm, false system and spews them out. (Check my message “The death rattle”). Part truth and part lie ends up in total lie, then delusion. They see the truth but cannot see the lie because they are sleeping (like Eve), and then death came. Part truth and part lie was what deceived them. When the devilish charmer arises, it will be a lie and are deceived.
Rejoice that your names are in the Book of life. There are horrible things coming and it is getting closer and the people are sleeping more and more. It will come as a snare upon the people. Half truth and half lie, will almost deceive the very elect; but cannot because they are awake and with the quickening power of the Holy Spirit. The elect will also be tempted and tried but Faith in the Word will see them through. That was what the Lord told me to write there. They will be tempted to join the gold head of Babylon, the apostate churches and government coming together soon. But study 2nd Peter 2:9, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations; and to reserve the unjust unto the Day of Judgment to be punished.”
The temptation will be to seduce the people to go into that Babylon system; as to better themselves, get new position, financial and working assistances. It will be popular to then to join them. The Philadelphia and Laodicea churches are already here wrapped up into one. But harvest and separation is coming fast, (angels are at work). The hour of temptation will be so great and powerful on the earth: but the Lord promised to deliver His own. The Word of God at this time will first be rejected, before it will work for the true believer.
The Lord will keep those that are patient and keep His Word from this strong delusion. They have not denied His Name (The Lord Jesus Christ); therefore He will hold them up during this hour of temptation. The Eternal One, The Lord Jesus Christ, I came in my Father’s name (John 5:43). But the Trinitarians have denied His Name. But you have not done that, and that is why ye shall be kept from the hour of temptation. Don’t deny His name, the Eternal One, who manifests himself in three offices or ways but is all One Spirit. You have to prepare for such an hour as they change even the true Word of God. Prepare yourself.
The faithful Philadelphia church is here they did not deny his faith and his name: but the Laodicea are the ones who go through the great tribulation, they are the ones who receive the mark of the beast. At the end of the church ages, comes the open door in Revelations 4:1. The hour of temptation, what is it? It is the way to go into these systems, to the pleasures and works. They in Laodicea church age say in Rev. 3:17, “I am rich, and increased in goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. They are involved in trade deals (in the Babylon system, church becomes a stock exchange of its own). Stay away from those deals, if you need money God will make a way. This happens near to translation time. The Lord is repeating this message of Laodicea because of the intoxication that is coming. For Laodicea the Lord was at the door knocking, it was not said the door was opened to Him; so sad. On one hand God is warning and on the other hand the Lord is preparing the bride for departure. Many Pentecostals will move into the Babylon Laodicea system when the restraining of the Holy Spirit occurs. These are not faithful and true Pentecostals but those who joined the Babylon system in the hour of temptation that shall come upon the whole world.
Our job is to do all we can to pull all those who are in the edge of Laodicea and pull them out of the fire – mystery Babylon. Come out of her my people. Our job is to warn and pull and teach the bride not to go into trade deals the way of Pergamum Church Age. In that church age persecution stopped as Constantine took the church and joined them in a deal to the pagan system, modified to accommodate the true church. The church was over joyed; but O! They were deceived, for in a moment’s time, they became part of the government system and worldliness entered the church. It became popular to be a Christian as they were baptized into the pagan system of coming together. What a trade deal.
The elect will be tried but think it not strange. It will be a fiery trial, but I will stand with you, I will be with you there, (1ST Peter 4:12 and Luke 21:35-36). Our job is to try and get them out there. Jesus Christ was at the door knocking but they will not open to Him because He was not properly dressed, by their standard, because their morals and nakedness was beyond description. Are you going to come up hither or will you be in there when He is knocking at the door? The door will be shut because it will be the great tribulation in session. How will they know except one tells them? They need to be warned, so that they do not get seduced into such part lies and part truth. Some people think by tearing others down, they can build themselves up. No, that is a trick of the devil. Be careful, before you say anything in the hour of temptation}.
COMMENTS {CD # 734 part A, The Mystery circle and the Revelation stars – This message brings out the Lord’s seed and the seed of the dragon (Rev. 12) and where we are at. Satan does not mind if you work a few miracles but do not expose him. Sometimes it will come from people you least expect. If you expose him, you better put on the whole armor of God, because he is the kind that snaps back. He hates to be exposed through his acts and the way his in-corrigible seeds operate in the seven church ages. Because you are exposing and cutting him off. (Every true believer must study and understand the seven church ages as revealed by Jesus Christ to John the apostle, to know about being an over-comer).
Jesus Christ has mystery circles, such as the 500 disciples that witnessed His ascension, you have the 120 on the day of Pentecost, you have the 70 disciples he sent out to witness to the people, you have the inner 12 apostles and you have the 3 closest apostles Peter, James and John who saw Him at the transfiguration. Yet you have according to Matt. 25:1-10; another mystery circle, the bride (those that gave the midnight cry and were awake), the sleeping virgins made up of the wise that had enough oil (Spiritual oil of the Holy Ghost, the word of confidence), who were ready when the Bridegroom arrived and went in with him: then the foolish virgins that had no extra oil (anointing) and were left behind, make up another circle. Still you have the circle of the 144,000 Jews sealed by God, then the circle of the unbelievers among which are those that will not take the mark of the beast. Then you have the totally lost. You also have the 4 beasts, the 24 elders around the throne on God in heaven. You also have different classes of angels. All these make up the mystery circle and revelation stars. The important question is where will you likely be? These circles are different dimensions each group on their own frequency; none breaking the ranks and God is in the midst of it all, like dimension of the rainbow. The bride is a different dimension of light and the attendants are in another dimension of light. The Hebrews will be considered in another light. They will all exist around the Lord in the same world, but in different dimensions. The bride is so close to Him that it is like where so ever He goes she goes.
The bride is the closest to the Lord. Which is the prize that Paul talked about (Philippians 3:13-14), to be near Christ for all eternity. The bride class is the innermost circle. There is a dimension coming to the bride in faith. You will see the dimension (anointing) on me coming upon the people as it operates on me; and will increase more and more on them, as their body can take it, but faith will increase. Job 28:7, talks about a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen. But on that path you find gold and precious things. You know why others cannot find it; it is because those who will find it, He will give and lead them with spiritual eyes to see and find it. Not with natural eyes: Only those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High (Psalm 91). There is a secret path; it is knowing, the secret place of the Most High and how to approach God. This path speaks of the highest plateau in the Christian experience for those who have spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear these things. It is the advanced lessons of faith. If you have got to that realm, you can move the devil and bring the Lord closer to you, (Secret place).
In that realm you can overcome the petty annoyances that trouble and aggravate you. When you rise above these petty things and stay in the Path of Job 28:7, and Psalm 91, then you are advancing to where God can use you. Then you can speak and things can happen. There are Christians that are slothful and some are negligent. They are haphazard in their ways of doing things; they are too casual and are apt to resent anything that will disturb their comfortable routine. The only thing that is important is to obey the word of God and be caught away. Always keep and carry the Word of God with you.
As long as I have a free will; I am going to strive (Luke 13:23-30) and see what the Lord will do with me. Paul said, strive to make it, and if you to make the prize and don’t make it, you have something good. God does not like anyone slothful, get in the race and stay in the race. You can see why you must get in the race and you must win that prize; which is getting as close to Jesus as possible; the inner circle and spending eternity with Him. That is what the bride and the prize is all about. Others are too disorganized to win the race.
To spend eternity with the Lord in the inner circle is what the PRIZE is all about. You have to put every effort that you have got. You cannot go about saying I am saved only; don’t you want to be positioned. Don’t you want to make sure you are doing what the Lord wants you to do? Get behind it with everything that you have and God will bless you. To be in the inner circle group requires full surrender, concentration and dedication. The prize is to be part of the bride, close to the Lord for all eternity; which is the supreme joy.
I don’t believe once saved always saved and you go about drinking and doing stuff. If they fit in His wheel, and they are his seed but backslidden; when He handles them, they will be happy they are in his mercy. Every time you listen to these messages something is happening inside of your heart. I want to be in the inner circle of the Lord. This message is a foundation to part two the real message (CD #733, The Bride Prepares),}.

COMMENTS– CD # 733, the bride prepares – 4/29/1979: the Lord’s promises are true, keep them and don’t allow the devil steal them from you. God is worth all the trials and tests we go through for His name’s sake. If you are truly the Lord’s, even if you stray or backslide, he will find a way to deal with you and bring you back. When he has finished with you, you will be happy he did handle you that way.
The elected seed, loves the word of God, believes and lives by every word of God: And believes everything in the Bible, even if they don’t understand it; and are prepared to go all the way with Him, which many today do not want to do.
There are some incorrigible seed that will not come back to God they are not even of the foolish virgins that come back to God through great tribulation, or even of the 144,000 Jews. But the sons of God that love God will come to God; through chastisement (Hew.12:8). It is a spiritual thing, (Eph. 1:4-5).Sin brought forth diseases and sickness but Jesus paid for it all at the Cross. Strive to go in and hope for the best, (Rom. 8: 14-27). Don’t be ashamed of anyone or circumstance when you step out to shake hands with Mr. Eternity. The sons of God in the Sun Cloth woman (Rev. 12:1-5) are getting ready to be birthed. The whole creation groaneth together in pain until now even ourselves groan, which have the first fruit of the Spirit, for the redemption of our body.
God promised he will shorten the time; but how and when he does it is unknown to man. We do know God goes back and also operates with 30days a month calendar and not man’s 365 days a year type. No one knows the day or the hour of his coming; just watch, pray and be ready. The Lord will come at the appointed time of the Translation. Remember, the Sun cloth woman of Rev. 12, that gave birth to the man-child, elect, that were caught up to God, has other children in verse 17, her remnant: “And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God and have they testimony of Jesus Christ, (but missed the translation) these are the tribulation saints. The woman was also in verse 14, given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. God’s children are numbered and the serpent seeds are numbered.
After the translation the dragon was now crowned. He blasphemed God and those that dwell in heaven that includes the Man-child group that were suddenly given birth to and caught up to God, (Rev. 12:5). And this is when the mark of the beast is given. Satan is doing everything he can to prevent the true seed of God from rising. He now uses Compromise, Camouflage, technology etc. The devil will charm the people at the end of time. The Lord himself will send them great delusion for rejecting the truth that can save, (2nd Thess. 2:3-12). Satan will like to get the seed of God to violet their vow of Separation and compromise. He tries to get the people and denominations to come together, let your guards down and compromise for the good of all, but he lies. He applies the principles to get the people to try and have affinity with God and with the world, (Rev. 2:20). This will not and will never work. Study scroll 80.
I don’t care what people think about those who say there is no translation, they are not converted; no matter what and how much tongues they speak. Because there is a translation, the coming and the Lord told me that. Some who were healed and went the way of compromise lost their healing with time. The Lord will come for his own as a thief in the night, in an hour you think not. I am not saying the elect will not go through these trials and tests that also usher in part of the tribulation period: because she surely goes through that; but will not be here for the mark of the beast. Those who yield to Jezebel seduction will go into great tribulation except they repent. The spirit of worldliness is killing the people and their preachers. This is the time to hold to the word of God; the people are not there or perfect and that is why I am sent with the star of God to guide you, to prepare you for the day is getting closer and closer.
This is the time to renew your vow of separation from the world. God is looking for dedicated people looking up to Him. Those who are faithful will have the position promised to the over-comer, Man-child- company, (Rev. 2:26-27 and Rev. 12:5). We are waiting for the birth of the man-child moment. Be in the man-child-company or group. Be caught up with the Lord, in a moment, in the twinkling of and eye, in an hour you think not.} Let the true believer listen to and study the word of God by his prophets. Study, The church ages, the Qualifications, The mystery circles and the revelation stars and then the bride prepares. They are like a series. Study to show thyself approved, a work man that needs not be ashamed}.
COMMENTS (Brother W.M. Branham, Seven Church Ages, Philadelphia church age), {“I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all, the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth, (Rev. 3:10). This temptation is exactly like the temptation in the Garden of Eden. It will be a very inviting proposition, held up in direct opposition to God’s commanded Word and yet from stand point of human reasoning it will be so very right, so enlightening and life-giving, as to fool the world. Only the very elect will not be fooled.
The temptation will come as follows. The ecumenical move that has started on what seems such a beautiful and blessed principle, (fulfilling Christ’s prayer that we all might be one) becomes so strong politically, that she bears pressure upon the government to cause all to join with her, either directly or through adherence to principles enacted into law, so that no people will be recognized as actual churches, unless under direct or indirect domination of this council. Little groups will lose charters, privileges, etc., until they lose all property and spiritual rights with the people. For example, right now unless the local ministerial association approves in many, if not most cities, one cannot rent a building for religious services. To become chaplains in the armed services, hospitals, etc., it is now almost mandatory, to be recognized as acceptable, to the Trinitarian ecumenical groups.
As this pressure increases and it will. It will be harder to resist; for to resist is to lose privilege. And so many will be tempted to go along, for they will feel it is better to serve God publicly in the frame work of this organization than not to serve God at all publicly. But they err (mistake). To believe the devil’s lie is to serve Satan, even though you may want to call him Jehovah. But the elect will not be deceived. Furthermore, the elect will not only be kept, but as this move becomes the “image erected to the beast,” the saints will be gone in the rapture.
In the Laodicea church age, they say, “they are rich and have need of nothing.” Talk about wealth in the church; why there never has been such a show of wealth as today in the churches. The beautiful sanctuaries are multiplied in number as never before. The various groups vie with each other to see who can build the biggest and the loveliest. And they build education centers worth un-estimated millions, and those buildings are used only an hour or two a week.
Money has poured into the church until different denominations own stocks and bonds, factories, oil wells, banks, and insurance companies. They have poured into welfare and retirement funds. Now this sounds good, but it has become a snare to ministers, for if they decide to leave their group for more light or love of God, their pensions are lost to them. Most can’t stand this and stay with their pressure groups.
Now don’t forget that this is the last age. We know that this is the last age because Israel has gone back to Palestine. If we believe that He really is coming, then there must be something wrong with those who are building so vastly. It makes one think that these people plan on staying here forever, or that the coming of Jesus is hundreds of years off. Do you know that religion today is known as big business? It is an absolute fact that they are placing business managers in the churches to take care of finances. Is this what God desires? Did not His Word teach us in the Book of Acts that seven men full of the Holy Ghost and faith served the Lord in business matters? You can surely see why God said, “You say you are wealthy”; I never said so. Yes, the church is rich, but the power is not there. God moves by His Spirit, not by the amount of money or talent in the church}.
THE ENDING OF THE CHURCH AGE
Because we are nearing the ending of the Church Age and entering the last outpouring of complete restoration; we need to know who are Elijah saints or Elijah Company. They are over-comers, (Rev. 12:5). After the change, what will the glorified body be like and the positions? Here is a good description. The glorified body will have the power of swift transportation, moving as rapidly as the swiftness of thought. It will possess the springs of eternal youth. The law of death will have no effect on the bodies of the glorified saints. The privilege of partaking of the Tree of Life will be restored to all who are over-comers, (Rev.2:7).
You can tell by discernment the complacency of many Christian people around us. They don’t take it seriously enough or see the urgency of it. The nearness of the coming of Christ and the ending of the age is here: And the rising of the super powers of it. But Jesus said, some would scoff and some would be asleep. It is exactly the word of prophecy. Wake up, time is already here to the wise. Dan. 12:10 said, the foolish will not understand or see the signs.
This is definitely our hour because we are in the final ending of the Harvest age to the elect. We must pray much and work swiftly for this magnificent Scripture is in reach or soon will be of our spiritual ears. According to 1st Cor. 15:51-55, “Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory, O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory. Let us not fall behind but push forward toward the prize. Let us witness to everyone that we can for soon our time here will be no more. And this is good news indeed. For soon this earth is coming under severe delusion and judgment. Let us, pray for our nations; and the youth. And let the entire elect join together in prayer and in welcoming back our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ. Special Writing #145
