|Now, oh, my. Now, the forfeited '''title deed''' is now in the hands of the original Owner, Almighty God. The title deed to the earth…<ref> William Branham, March 17, 1963, The Breach Between the Seals and the Church Ages </ref> | |||
|What was this “LITTLE BOOK”? Some claim that it was the “SEVEN SEALED BOOK,” now open, and therefore the “TITLE DEED” to the Earth... <ref> Clarence Larkin, The Book of Revelation: A Study of the Last Prophetic Book of Holy Scripture, 81 (Philadelphia, PA: Rev. Clarence Larkin Estate, 1919) </ref> | |||

|Notice, it's the end of the church age. It's the--the end of the Seven Seals. It's the end of the trumpets. It's the end of the vials, and even ends '''the ushering in of the millennium'''; that's on the Seventh Seal. | |Notice, it's the end of the church age. It's the--the end of the Seven Seals. It's the end of the trumpets. It's the end of the vials, and even ends '''the ushering in of the millennium'''; that's on the Seventh Seal. | ||
|We must not forget that the “SEVENTH SEAL” includes all that happens during the sounding of the “Trumpets,” and the pouring out of the “Vials,” and so extends down to '''the ushering in of the Millennium'''. | |||
It's just like '''firing a rocket into the air''', and that rocket explodes here, and it goes up, then it explodes again. It puts out five stars. One of those stars explodes and blows out five stars from it; and then one of them stars explodes, blows out five stars from it (See?); it fades on out. That's what the Seventh Seal; it just ends the time for the world. It ends the time for this. It means the time for that. It ends the time for this. It ends the time... Everything just ended up on that Seventh Seal. | |- | ||

And the '''four and twenty elders that stood before God there harping with their harps''', they quit playing their harps. The Angels hushed their singing in heaven. Think, the holy '''Cherubims and Seraphim'''s, that Isaiah saw it in the temple with six sets... or three sets of wings, three on--two over his face and two over his feet, and flying. And he's day and night they're before God, saying, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty." And even when they walked in, or come into the temple, the posts of the temple moved with their--their presence. And these holy Seraphims hushed up. Angels quit singing. (Whew.) Flying in the Presence of God, singing, "Holy, holy, holy..." they shut up. | |To illustrate, '''a rocket fired into the air''' may burst into “seven stars,” and one of these stars into “seven other stars,” and one of the second group of stars into a third group of “seven stars.” So the “Seventh” Seal includes the “Seven Trumpets,” and the “Seventh” Trumpet includes the “Seven Vials.” | ||

|The “SILENCE” that followed the breaking of the “Seventh Seal” was preparatory to what was to follow during the sounding of the “Trumpets,” and the pouring out of the “Vials.” This “SILENCE” was something remarkable. '''The Four and Twenty Elders ceased their harp-playing'''; the angels hushed their voices, and the '''Cherubim and Seraphim''' and all the host of Heaven were silent, and so great was the silence that all Heaven was '''awed by it'''; | |||

|Now, | |Now, a '''half hour might not be long''' if you're having a good time, but in the '''suspense of between death and life''', it seemed like a millennium. | ||
|Now a '''“half an hour” is not long''' when engaged in some pleasant employment, but it causes a nerve breaking tension when we do not know what is going to happen, and '''when a life is at stake''' a minute, or even a few seconds, seem to be hours. The '''suspense''' of the half hour of SILENCE in Heaven was intense. | |||
