=Why Are The Seven Seals Important?= | |||
William Branham and his followers say that he brought a brand new, unique, and never before revealed understanding of the seals. Branham explained this in his introductory sermon on the seven seals. | |||
:''And now we’re going to see what the Book says about how It become open. And '''is not made known until the Lamb takes the Book, and breaks the Seals, and opens the Book'''. See? The Lamb has got to take the Book. | |||
:''It’s hid. Now remember, “No man in Heaven, no man in earth,” pope, bishop, cardinal, state presbyter, or whoever he is, “can break them Seals, or reveal the Book, but the Lamb.” And we have probed, and presumed, and stumbled, and wondered, and—and that’s the reason we’re all in such a confusion. | |||
:''But with the Divine promise that this Book of Redemption will be perfectly opened by the Lamb, and '''the Seals thereof will be loosed by the Lamb, in the last days in which we’re living now. And is not made known until the Lamb takes the Book and breaks the Seals.''' Because, remember, the Book was being holded in the hands of Him that sat upon the Throne. “And the Lamb comes to Him that sits upon the Throne, and takes the Book out of His right hand.” Takes the Book! Oh, that’s deep. '''We’ll try to solve it out if we can, by the help of the Holy Spirit. Now we’re depending on Him. And we will see, later, it is at the end time, “When time has run out.” No denominations has a right for interpretation of the Book. No man has a right to interpret It.''' It is the Lamb Who interprets It.''' And the Lamb is the One Who speaks It, and the Lamb makes the Word to be known, by vindicating and bringing the Word to Life. See? Exactly! Notice. And is not revealed until… '''This Book is not revealed until the church ages and denominational ages has run out''', “and there is time no more.” See it? It’s only revealed after church ages and denominational ages has run out..<ref>William Branham, 63-0317E - The Breach Between The Seven Church Ages And The Seven Seals, para. 51</ref> | |||
