52 Now we find Him at the beginning, His attributes. And, now, you were with Him then. Then is when the Book of Life comes into view.
Now, we read over here in Revelations the 13th chapter, the 8th verse, that, "The beast that comes upon the earth," in these last days, "will deceive all those people on the earth whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world."
53 Think of it! Before Jesus was ever born, four thousand years before He came on earth, and several thousand years before you come on earth; Jesus, in God's mind, died for the sins of the world, and the Book of Life was made, and your name was put on that Book of Life before the foundation of the world. That's the Bible Truth. See, your name was ordained of God and placed on the Book of Life before the foundation of the world.
54 You were there in His attributes. You don't remember it, no, because you're just a part of His Life. You are a part of God when you become a son or a daughter of God.
Just as you are a part of your earthly father! That's right. You are. The male carries the hemoglobin, the blood. And when that has gone in--in the egg, then you become a part of your father; and your mother is a part of your father, also; so you're all a part of your father.
Glory! That lets the denomination out, altogether. Uh-huh. Certainly does! God, in all, the only place!
NOW WHO IS THIS YOU THAT WAS IN THE THINKING OF GOD BEFORE THE WORLD WAS MADE?
IT COULD NOT BE THIS BODY BECAUSE IT HAS AN ENDING.
IT IS THE GENE THAT WAS IN GOD WHICH IS ETERNAL WITH GOD.
YOU ARE A PART OF HIS LIFE.
WE AS A GENE DON’T REMEMBER EVER BEING IN HIM.
WHAT IS HIS LIFE? IT IS ZOE. YOU ARE JUST A PART OF HIM THAT WAS TO COME FORTH IN MANIFESTATION ON THIS EARTH.
You are a part of God when you become a son or a daughter of God.
IF YOU ARE A GENE OF GOD YOU WILL COME INTO MANIFESTATION AS A SON OR A DAUGHTER OF GOD.
Just as you are a part of your earthly father! That's right. You are. The male carries the hemoglobin, the blood. And when that has gone in--in the egg, then you become a part of your father
BEING IN THERE ALL THE TIME BUT IT MUST COME FORTH BY THE NEW BIRTH IN ORDER TO FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HEAVENLY FATHER.
Then the attribute was, first, God; the thought, the attribute itself, all in One, without being expressed. Then when He expressed, secondarily, He became then the Word. "And then the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."
EVERYTHING WAS THERE, EVEN THE PART OF GOD THAT HE WAS GOING TO USE TO CONCERNING YOU.
WATCH HOW BROTHER BRANHAM PUTS IT.
Then the attribute was, first, God; the thought, the attribute itself, all in One, without being expressed.
EVERTHING IN ONE ATTRIBUTE BUT NOT YET EXPRESSED.
Then when He expressed, secondarily, He became then the Word.
SEE? THE SECOND EXPRESSION WAS THE WORD.
THEN THE THIRD EXPRESSION WAS THE WORD MADE FLESH.
"And then the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."
Saint John the 1st chapter and the 1st verse, notice, this is, "In the beginning." But, before, the Eternal! Notice, "In the beginning was the Word." When the time begin, it was Word. But before it was Word, it was attribute, a thought. Then it was expressed, "In the beginning was," the expression, "the Word."
Now we're getting where Melchisedec is. That's this mysterious Person. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "And then the Word became flesh and dwelled among us." Hold that there now, notice.
WHEN THE TIME BEGAN IT WAS WORD BUT BEFORE THAT IT WAS ATTRIBUTE, A THOUGHT.
THEN IT WAS EXPRESSED; NOW THAT’S THE BEGINNING.
Now we're getting where Melchisedec is. That's this mysterious Person.
WHO IS THIS PERSON? GOD.
SO BROTHER BRANHAM NOW IS PUTTING THIS GREAT SPIRIT JEHOVAH IN A FORM BUT NOT YET FLESH.
"And then the Word became flesh and dwelled among us."
THAT’S WHO MELCHISEDEC IS.
NOW GOD MADE HIMSELF A BODY OF FLESH AND DWELT IN IT BEFORE HE BECAME JESUS.
NOW I AM GOING TO GO TO ACTS.

210 And...?... the great storm of formality, the great storm of indifference, a great storm of denial of God, "O God, don't let me try to beat the Light out. Let me use It to walk in. I believe it, Lord." There you are. Walk in the Light. "As I see it in the Scripture, that's Light. It's God's Word, and let me walk in it. Lord, Lord, let me walk in it; never, never try to deny It."
And he shall send Jesus... which was before preached unto you:
Whom the heavens must receive, until the time of restoration of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world begin.
21st verse of the 3rd chapter, "All the restorations of all things," when there'll be a new heavens, a new earth, a new government, a new economy (oh, my), a new king, a new life, a new beginning with no ending (oh, my), a new age, a new time, a new people.
NOW WE ARE GOING INTO THAT SEVENTH SEAL.
IF YOU WILL NOTICE, EVERYBODY SAYS THAT THIS IS THE LORD JESUS.
IT CANT BE THE MAN IF WE HOLD THE MESSAGE AS THE WORD OF GOD.
HE IS SAYING THAT JESUS, THE MESSIAH, GOD HIMSELF IS GOING TO BE A PROPHET.
THIS SAME PERSON COULD BE WILLIAM BRANHAM, THE SAME AS JESUS CHRIST, NOT THE FLESH BEING JESUS.

103 And, so, when Elijah saw this kindness done to him. And it's written, "What you do to My little ones, you do it to Me." So she saw that, the woman was honoring God as she honored this prophet, as she seen God in the prophet.
GOD IS HIS OWN PROPHET.

E-42 Then, if the Holy Spirit will reveal Jesus Christ in the same power, how many will accept Him as Messiah and believe?

99 …………………
Each messenger and its message foretold the other one to follow each time. Moses, the prophets foretold, Moses foretold of the coming of Jesus. Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet like unto me." How many times have we been through that in our messages around the world, that the coming Messiah was to be a Prophet.

70 And again, the--the church seen Him in His great power of manifesting. Manifesting what? Not manifesting a creed! He was manifesting the Word! He was the Anointed Word, Himself. And when they seen that taking place (the manifestation, the Anointed Messiah), they turned It down. They didn't want It. It wasn't in their taste. That's the pitiful part. How many...? Just think of it! Just as in other days.
71 See, each had their own interpretation of the Word. That's what... the reason Israel didn't recognize Moses. That's the reason the world didn't recognize Noah. That's the reason all the prophets wasn't recognized. They have their own interpretation of the Word. But God, in every age, has had His Messiah. See? To reject Noah's Message, was to rejecting God. To reject Noah, was to perish. To reject Moses, was to perish. It was... They were the Anointed Messiah's for that age, the Word that was promised for that age. And when Jesus came, He was the fullness of the Word.
72 God, Himself, made into a man's structure, with bones and flesh; the Anointed One. And they should've seen that.

121 Now, notice, Moses, the anointed Word... or either we call him... I hope you will understand, when I say that he was the Messiah. He was the anointed Word that had been promised for that day. Moses was! Do you believe that? Sure, the word--the word Messiah means "the anointed." See? Now, Noah was the anointed of his day. Abraham had spoke that there would... His people would sojourn four hundred years in bondage, and they'd be brought out by a mighty hand, and what he'd show: his signs and wonders... and--and the generations that was coming on, and what would do. And Moses stood there, that anointed Word of that day. That's why he could put his hand in the bosom. Why? He was standing in the Presence of God. Amen! The great Shekinah Glory all around him. Every move he made represented God. That's where the church ought to be standing now. Right! Instead of that, we're off on some tantrum of some denominational something.
LET ME CLOSE WITH THIS THOUGHT.
SHOW ME A PROPHET THAT HASN’T BEEN RAISED UP FROM AMONG HIS BRETHERN. YOU CAN’T FIND IT.
HE’S GOT TO BE RAISED UP AND IF YOU DON’T HEAR HIM YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS, UNBELIEVETH,
WHAT BROTHER BRANHAM IS SAYING IS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT MELCHISEDEC.
AND THAT IS GOD BECOMING FLESH, AND HE IS SHOWING YOU THAT MELCHISEDEC IS NO DIFFERENT FROM YOU AND ME.
FOR AS WE WERE A PART OF HIM, JESUS WAS THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD. YOU AND I ARE JUST A LITTLE PART OF HIM IN FLESH.
MAY GOD HELP US TO SEE THIS GREAT MYSTERY.
