The Hidden Mysteries of the Bible
In Col. 1:26, the previously hidden mystery was “now made manifest to his saints.” It was made known now to all the nations in the worldwide preaching of the gospel; it was made known to God’s holy people because they were the natural recipients of his revelation; it was made known to the apostles and prophets because they were the ministers through whom the truth of God was communicated to their fellow-believers.[1]
Quotes of William Branham
Now watch. There is a lot of Truth lost out there, (why?) where others compromised on Truth. But this seventh angel don’t compromise on nothing. He gathers up all the loose ends, gathers them all up. And at his sounding, “All the mystery of God should be finished.” Oh! God, send him. All of the hidden mysteries was finished when, he, It was revealed to him. By what? If these are hidden mysteries, the man will have to be a prophet. And didn’t we just get through and see that the prophet, that would come in the last age, would be that great Elijah that we been looking for? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Because, these mysteries that’s hid, through the theologians, will have to be revealed; to God. And the Word comes only to the prophet. [“Amen.”] And we know it. He will be the second Elijah, as promised. Oh, my! The Message he—he’ll bring will be the mysteries, all, all these things.[2]
We have also two thoughts of this Marriage And Divorce. Now, that, our Lord has opened the Seven-Seal mystery of His Word to us, in this last days. Now, many of you, this might be Greek to you, but my church understands. By what? And you’ve heard of the visions and what taken place. And the question is a Bible question, we are invited here to believe there must be a true answer to the whole hidden secret that’s been hid since the foundation of the world. And the Bible prophesies and says that in this day these secrets would be made known. Revelation 10, “And at the sounding of the seventh angel, the Laodicea messenger, the mysteries of God would be made known.” And this is the last age, which is Laodicea.
Now on the Marriage And Divorce, see, it has to be revealed. Until it’s revealed, you don’t know it. But He promised in this last days, in this age, that every hidden mystery in the Bible would be revealed. How many knows that? Revelation, the 10th chapter! Jesus promised it, that all of these hidden mysteries on—on Marriage And Divorce, all these other hidden mysteries that’s been, would be revealed in the end time. Now you remember, the Voice said, “Go to Tucson.” Remember the mystic Light in the skies? the seventh Angel standing there? come back, and the opening of the Seven Seals. Watch what’s taken place. That is true.[3]
That’s right. No trinity! No, sir. That’s a false thing. The Seven Seals,opening those mysteries that “should be finished,” shows up. Seal opened; disposes, shows up, makes plain the hidden Truths that the Seals had hid all these years, through all those churches and denominations.
Notice, the very day when this messenger… Not when he starts on, but when he begins to declare his Message. See? The First Pull, healing; Second Pull, prophesying; Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed. No more, there is no more higher order to reveal the Word, than prophets. But the only way the prophet can be vindicated is by the Word. And, remember, the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals, to reveal the hidden Truth that’s been sealed in the Word.[4]
What’s happened upon Mount Sunset? God confirming His Word. That’s what all this noise is about. Notice, it’s God fulfilling His promised Word again, of Revelation 10:1 to 7, “And in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel’s Message, the mystery of God should be finished.” The hidden mystery of Revelation 10:1 to 7, the last Message to the last church age. Fulfills exactly, in this age, Saint Luke 17:30, “The day when the Son of man shall be revealed.”[5]
His Word was bread. It was the perfect manna, which, if a man live by, he shall never die. But right after the death of the fathers, no one seemed to know the exact truth and in a short while this manna seemed to have become hidden to the people. But in every age God began to give back by revelation that which was hidden until in this last day according to Revelation 10:7, a prophet will come and reveal all the mysteries and then the Lord will come. Now in each age, I say, the messengers received hidden truth.[6]
