The Message
The term that William Branham used to refer to his teachings.
- ...And here's all of His promises, and He promised He would do that just before the end time. Then we know the message is right. My message is the end time, and get--the church to get right. THIRSTING.FOR.LIFE_ PHOENIX.AZ FRIDAY_ 60-0304
Also referred to as the "Message of the Hour". For a detailed discussion, go to The Message.
The Squeeze
The "squeeze" is persecution on the Bride before the rapture. It's like their own special mini-pre-tribulation tribulation. It's a messed up doctrine that says that one day the doors will be closed on churches, and the bride will be hunted down. It's at this time the bride will be creating their own squirrels, as the third pull will be accessible to all the bride. Everyone will be Elijah's, essentially, and hiding from Jezebel.
