Transcript THE LIGHT OF LIFE

THE LIGHT OF LIFE
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness
was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided
the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of
the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for
signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to
give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the
day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made
that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it
not.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth.
Life = “Zoe” = Eternal Life
Joh 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the
light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Mar 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought
sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week,
they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Mar 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek
Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not
here: behold the place where they laid him.
Mar 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the
week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he
had cast seven devils.

40 The first time the sun rose, in Genesis, it was bringing a message
that there will be life upon the earth, mortal life.
41 But this time, when the sun rose, there was a--a dual sunrising;
another, Son, rising. It was the... not only s-u-n rising, it was the S-o-n
had risen to bring Eternal Life to all God's promised Seed that by
foreknowledge He had seen laying upon the earth.
42 No more could the--the botany life lived back there at the
beginning without the s-u-n to bring it to life; no more than, today,
when sons of God is upon the earth, it takes the S-o-n Light to bring
them to Eternal Life, His chosen ones that He knew before the
foundation of the world.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the
life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he
live:
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

54 Now! And then, not only that, He sent Word to His
disciples, His believing. "Fear not, for I am He that was dead,
and is alive again forevermore. And I have the keys to death
and hell; I've already conquered it. Don't fear anymore, for
every foreordained, predestinated Seed of God shall come to
Life when that Light spreads across the earth, of the glorious
Gospel. In every age, It'll bring forth the crop that God
ordained It to do." He had raised from the dead.
No matter how long It's kept in darkness, It'll come forth
when the S-o-n shines upon It.
IT.IS.THE.RISING.OF.THE.SUN_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-12 SUNDAY_ 65-0418M
61 Notice, the very Message of the Gospel, Itself, is to prove to the people
that He is risen. "Go tell My disciples that I am risen from the dead, and I'll
meet with them, to confirm this to them." O God, how in this last day there
shall be Light again across the earth! "And I'll prove to My disciples! Go tell
them that I am not dead, and I'm not a tradition, but I am a living Christ. I'll
meet them. Take this Message to My disciples, that I am risen from the dead,"
the Gospel, good news.
64 "And because I live, ye live also. And I live in you, and the works that I do,"
John 14:12, "the works that I do will identify Myself in you." What a Message!
No wonder, we've had a dark world of theology, but in the evening time there
shall come Light again. There will be a resurrection in the evening time. It
shall be Light at the evening time.
95 Waving of the sheaf! What was the sheaf? The first one
that come to mature, the first one that proved it was a wheat,
that proved it was a sheaf.
96 Hallelujah! I'm sure you see what I'm talking about. It was
waved over the people. And the first time there will come
forth, for the Bride age, for a resurrection out of dark
denominationalism, will be a Message, that the full maturity of
the Word has turned back again in Its full Power, and being
waved over the people, by the same signs and wonders that He
did back there.

231 Now look. How can you say that that Spirit dwells in
you? Though you done everything that you thought was right,
here is your evidence whether you got It or not. If the Spirit
that was in Christ is in you, It also quickens you to the Word,
for He is the Word. And if it, contrary, quickens you away from
the Word, then it isn't the Spirit of Christ!...

346 And now, see, now you are already resurrected. When God
raised Him up, He raised you. The Son is just now on you, and now
you're growing into a blossom Life like He was, to be resurrected
completely in that last day. Your potentials, you have now. Why do
you know? Your soul changed, didn't it? Your body come in
obedience to It, didn't it? In obedience to (what, a church?) the
Word, which is the Life, then you are now resurrected from the
dead.

But you--you've been operated on. You've had two operations. And the
operations was in--in here in the bosom or breast. And it's cancer. Is
that true? Then I see it turning dark, lady. It must be that you're not
going to--to live perhaps just... No, here's what it is: you are in need of
Jesus Christ. You're not a Christian. You're--you're--you're--you need
Christ. Is that right? Why not take Him and live? Is that true? You
accept Him as your Saviour now, right now? Forsake all sin? God lets
you live, you're going to live for Him the rest of your days? Come.
Almighty God, Who raised Jesus from the dead, this dying woman,
standing here on her feet, has now come to Life. I thank Thee, Lord,
for Thy Spirit that makes her well. And God, I pray that You'll take all
sin and everything from her. And may she go to her home happy,
rejoicing, and completely well. I ask this sickness to leave her body,
in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
My sister, you're returning a different person. You are a Christian
now. Your sins are forgiven. With all my heart, I believe you'll live,
for it's light, real light around you now, where I'm standing. And I--I
believe you're going to be all right. You feel that too, don't you? Yes,
ma'am. You are a Christian and living for Christ now. God bless you.
God bless you.

307 Look what we've seen in this day. The Quickening Power has
come to us, to open the Seven Seals. What was that, the intelligence
of a man? No, the quickening Power of God. See, the quickening
Power of God foretold this would take place. See, the quickening
Power of God made the world testify to It, it's the Truth. The Angel of
the Lord, I told you, was around, in a Pillar of Fire; quickening Power
let the world testify that It's the Truth. And, in that, they didn't know
what It was; and we knew, just look this a way, and It's our Lord up
there, you see.
308 He is the One Who opened those Seals. He is those Seals,
for the whole Word of God is Christ, and Christ is the Seals that was
opened. What is the opening of Seals then? Revealing Christ.
Exo 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud,
to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light;
to go by day and night:
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire
by night, from before the people.
Exo 14:19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel,
removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from
before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of
Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by
night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
Isa 21:11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir,
Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye
will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
Zec 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not
be clear, nor dark:
Zec 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD,
not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it
shall be light.
Zec 14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out
from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them
toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
Mal 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all
the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day
that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall
leave them neither root nor branch.
Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness
arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as
calves of the stall.
Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isa 40:31 But those who wait for the Lord [who expect,
look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their
strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount
up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they
shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint
or become tired. [Heb. 12:1-3.] Amp.
Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming
of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and
the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the
earth with a curse.
Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being
turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of
man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps
with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and
his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and
his voice as the sound of many waters.
Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his
mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as
the sun shineth in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right
hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are,
and the things which shall be hereafter;
Rev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in
my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven
stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven
candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all
men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh
into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Act 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and
suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Act 22:6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was
come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone
from heaven a great light round about me.
7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said
unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou
persecutest.
Rev 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven,
clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face
was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot
upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he
had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth
lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created
heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things
that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that
there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall
begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath
declared to his servants the prophets.
Pillar of Fire at Birth April 06, 1909
“And Dad pushed back the window. And when they pushed the
little window door back, that Light that you see in the picture
come whirling in the window, says my mother, and hung over the
bed. Grandmother didn't know what to say.”
The Mystic Light while Baptizing
“The Second Public Appearance of the Pillar of Fire was on June
11, 1933. Over the Ohio River, in Jeffersonville, Indiana.”
As he was about to Baptize the seventeenth convert he heard "a
Voice" saying , "Look Up!" Looking up, William Branham saw a
strange Light, like a star, whirling down toward him, coming to a
stop just above him.
In the Old Testament a "Voice" spoke from the Pillar of Fire to Moses.
In the New Testament a "Voice" spoke again from the Pillar of Fire to
Paul. So also a "Voice" spoke to William Branham saying:
"As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the First
Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, so will your Message
forerun His Second Coming..."

11 Now, they asked,
to know. Science, the
one of them in Tucson,
wanted to know any
significance, but I didn't
tell them. You all knew
it, told beforehand. But
it wasn't for them; it
was for you.

15 Well, if you'll turn the picture like this and look, you can probably
see it from the audience, it's Christ. See His eyes looking here, just as
perfect as it could be; wearing the white wig of Supreme Deity and
Judge of all heavens and earth. Can you see His eyes, nose, His mouth?
[Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Just turn the picture from this, the
way they had it; this a way, the way it's supposed to be. And you... Can
you see it? ["Amen."] He is Supreme Judge. There is none other but
Him. And that is a perfect identification again, a vindication that this
Message is the Truth. This is the Truth. It is true. And making Him not
a third Person, but the only Person!
16 With the white, see, you see the dark, His face, His beard,
and His eyes. And notice, He is looking... From Him comes this
Light shining on the righthand side, to which He's looking to.
And on the cross, that's where He looked, to the right, where
He pardoned the sinner. In the Light of His resurrection, we
still go forth in His Name.

17 I wish, this morning, that I had just much time to--to spend
upon these phenomena that's beyond any shadow of doubt, been
proven for the past thirty years, or thirty-five years, right here at
this church; since down on the river, when that same Light came
down here in Jeffersonville, in 1933, and spoke those words, "As
John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, your
Message will forerun the second." We're at the end time, and we
see it.
Isa 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the
LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross
darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and
his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Morning Star
Venus is the second planet from the Sun. After the Moon, it is the
brightest natural object in the night sky. Venus reaches its maximum
brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which
reason it has been referred to by ancient cultures as the Morning Star
or Evening Star.
Rev 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a
stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon,
to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the
light thereof.
Isa 60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for
brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall
be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon
withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and
the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Mat 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on
a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
"No candle loses any of its light when it lights another one."
