The document provides commentary on biblical passages related to Jezebel and Elijah's prophecy of her death in 2 Kings 9:30-37. It notes that Jezebel was thrown from a window, trampled by horses, and eaten by dogs after Elijah prophesied her demise, even though his prophecy had been forgotten. When Jehu and the Israelite army approached to kill her, Jezebel put on makeup and fixed her hair, revealing something about her character. The document then discusses several passages related to the seven churches, seals, and end times.
4. The infamous story of Jezebel Elijah’s prophecy of her death
and her death. (2 Kings 9:30-37). had already been forgotten… but,
it was still ‘thus saith the Lord.’
Jehu & the Israelite army were on
the move, and unknowingly
fulfilling Elijah’s prophecy…
Jezebel was thrown out the
window, trampled by horses and
eaten by dogs. Moments before
her death, Jezebel knew she was
getting ready to be killed by Jehu.
When she heard he was coming
she put on makeup and fixed her
hair. This act tells a lot about her
character.
5. Thyatira: The FOURTH
Age
Revelation 2:18-29
¶ Unto the angel of the church of Thyatira write; These
things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame
of fire, and his feet are like fine brass. I know thy works, and
charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and
the last to be more than the first. Notwithstanding I have a few
things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jez'ebel,
which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my
servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto
idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she
repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that
commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent
of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the
churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and
hearts: 5

believe that everything Brother Branham says is Thus

we can fellowship with one another. If you have another
absolute, if you take another man's idea, another man's
thought, his interpretation, then we can't fellowship."

God prophesied, “I will send you Elijah…before the…day

Messiah.

24. The Breach between the Seven Church Ages and
the Seven Seals
Chapter Four and Five of Revelation is called “The
Breach” because they lay positioned between
Chapter Three and Chapter Six. They also appear
to occur in Heaven, whereas Chapters Two and
Three that deal with the Seven Church Ages, and
Chapter Six which is the events that transpire upon
the Earth after the Seals are opened. The Breach is
also a transition from a world order under grace, to a
world order under judgment and wrath. The very act
of the Lamb of God leaving the mercy seat to retrieve
the Sealed Book signifies a cessation of the old
order under a dispensation of intercessory grace, to a
new era of The Lion of Judah assuming his Kingly
throne to sit as ruler and judge.
24
25. The Breach between the Seven Church Ages and
the Seven Seals
The Lamb‟s blood had been upon the mercy seat for
nearly two thousand years, that blood was “the blood
of an everlasting covenant. (Hebrews 13:20).
Everlasting is a long span of time, not time without end
or eternal. The lamb‟s redemptive work concludes
during the Last Days, the ceremonial act of Kinsman
Redeemer calls for Him to leave the throne of mercy
to take the book out of the right hand of God. Once
the bloody lamb leaves his intercessory work, the same
throne becomes a throne of judgment; there is no
longer any mercy, grace or power to wash away the
Gentiles sins - “and he which is filthy, let him be filthy
still.” (Revelation 22:11)
25
26. The Breach between the Seven Church Ages and
the Seven Seals
When the Seventh Seal is broken, the mystery of
God is finished – One part of this mystery reveals
who was sealed during Christ's mediation, and how
each sealed believer overcame in each of Seven
Church Ages. Another aspect of this finishing
mystery is the restoration of the Word of God – all
doctrinal errors promulgated over the span of the
Gentile Church Ages will be corrected and taught.
The results of the seventh seal will manifest to the
Christian believers as an acceptance of the corrected
Word of God and faith for the resurrection (The
Rapture), in nominal church-goers as faith to endure
the Great Tribulation, and in unbelievers as hatred
towards Jesus and unwillingness to repent of their
sins.

31. The Bride will not have to face the cataclysmic events the Bible prophesies for
the end times. We will be taken to heaven before the Tribulation-the time
period the Bible describes as ” . . . a time of trouble, Such as never was since
there was a nation, Even to that time.” [Dan 12:1]
During the first phase of His Second Coming, Jesus will come secretly to
“catch away His Bride”-the Church. Three and one half years later, during the
“Day of the Lord,” the second phase of His coming will take place. At that time
Christ will come visibly with all power and authority to establish His kingdom on
earth (Matt 24:29).
The saints will spend the intervening time in heaven before returning with
Christ. Jesus will come for the saints during the first phase, and with the saints
in the second phase. Christ is coming to rapture the saints before the
Tribulation-but returning with them afterward, the time when He pours out His
wrath in divine vengeance.
