(Rev 10:4)   And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

REVELATION, BOOK OF SYMBOLS   (1956-06-17, Jeffersonville, IN)

(64)  But remember, Daniel was told by the Angel.  Daniel heard seven thunders; they uttered their voices.  Daniel grabbed his pen and started to write, and the Angel said, "Don't you write it." Amen.

Are you ready?  Let's get into it just for about the next five minutes.  Will you?  Listen.

"Don't you write it."  John saw the same thing, and it had already be written outside of the Bible; and had seven seals on the back of the Book, that no man could open those seals, that was them voices.  Here's the Bible written, which is a mystery Itself.  But on the backside of the Bible, the revelations was shown to Daniel, say that there's seven voices to be uttered that no man could open, no man knowed what it was.  But the Bible said, and told Daniel and also John, "That in the last days these seven voices would be known by the real true Church."  You get it?  Can you see where the false and counterfeit is trying their best to keep great men from places like that?

IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?   (1962-12-30E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(38-2)  Look where the voices was in the thunders, not in heaven, on earth.  The thunders never uttered from the heavens; they uttered from the earth.

And I was about to write: when I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal... (Capital S-e-a-l)... Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

It's on the backside.  When a book is complete...  Now, He didn't say on the front side; He said on the backside.  After it's all done completed, then these seven thunder voices is the only thing that is stuck to the Book, that's not revealed.  It's not even written in the Book.

Oh, my.  I wish I could get that to the people and could actually...  Don't fail; don't--don't fail, please don't this time.  I'm fixing to leave you.  Don't fail.  If you ever listened, listen.  These seals are on the backside of the book, and at the time that the seventh angel is sounding, all the mysteries that are written in the Book is completed.  And immediately, the Book that was open and written and within, is closed.  The mysteries of God is finished; and this is the mysteries of God, the going of the church, and all these other things.  The mysteries is over.

INFLUENCE   (1963-01-12, Phoenix, AZ)

(E-69)  All right.  Yeah.  They seen God's promise fulfilled.  It put them in action.  And what we have seen, what we have seen...  These promises in these last days, what we have seen ourselves, ought to put each one of us in action.  But you know why?  We don't cover our faces and our feet right.  Our wings won't work.  See?  We got these wings spread out, and these wings spread out, and trying to spread these too; we're just fanning air.  See?  Cover yourself; humble yourself, then get in action.  Oh, my.

What we've seen happen should put every soul in action.  It should make a church that would make a revival here in Phoenix, that people would be flying in from Europe to see what taken place. They'd say, "There's a place in Arizona called the Maricopa Valley, a city called Phoenix.  There's something broke out there until the seven thunders of Revelations 10, that's not even wrote in the Bible, is being manifested."

THE BREACH  (1963-03-17E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(72-4) {32}  Now, watch.

And he had in his hand a little book open:...

Now, here it was closed here, and sealed, and here it's open; it's been opened.  Since that time of the sealing we're getting into tonight, now the Book's opened.  A little Book in His hand--in His...  It was opened.  Oh, how...  The sun as pillars...  Wait just a minute, let me start back here reading.

And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot upon the earth,

And he cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth:... (We know He is the Lion of the tribe of Juda.  Over here He's a Lamb, but here He's a Lion.  See?)... and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

Now, John was commissioned to write what he saw, so the apostle and prophet picked up his pen to write it.

And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.  (Now, that's what we don't know.  That's yet to be revealed; it's not in Holy Script, what them thunders say.)

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hands to heaven, (Now, listen.)

And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heavens, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things... therein are, and... there should be time no longer:  (Watch, here's a verse I want to get to.)

But in the day of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophet.

THE FIRST SEAL  (1963-03-18, Jeffersonville, IN)

(128-2) {75}  And then there's coming forth seven mysterious thunders that's not even written at all.  That's right.  And I believe that through those seven thunders will be revealed in the last days in order to get the Bride together for rapturing faith; because what we got right now, we--we wouldn't be able to do it.  There's something we've got to step farther; we--we can't have enough faith for Divine healing hardly.  We've got to have enough faith to be changed in a moment and be swept up out of this earth, and we'll find that after a while, the Lord willing, find where it's written.

THE THIRD SEAL  (1963-03-20, Jeffersonville, IN)

(235-4) {42}  And when He takes this oath, seven thunders utter their voices, and the writer... Which when John was taken up, was supposed to write what he saw.  He started to write down. He said, "Don't write it, because... Don't write that.  It is an un..."  He said, "Seal it up."  What in? "Seal up; don't say it."  See?  It's to be revealed, but it's not even written in the Word.  And then when He begin to open the Seals, we find out they were all puzzling.  See?  When he opened the First Seal, he thought, "Now, here He's going to say, 'And it will come that So-and-so will take the throne and certain do this and this will do that.'"  But when it was, here he's went a white horse riding, and a rider on it.  Well, "He had a bow in his hand, and he was given a crown after while," he said.  That's all.

THE FOURTH SEAL  (1963-03-21, Jeffersonville, IN)

(285-1) {45}  John even saw it, the announcement when the first come forth.  He said, "A white--a horse went forth.  He had a rider on him, had a bow in his hand."  That's symbol.  That isn't revealed.  See?  No, it's just a symbol.  And as far as any man upon the earth, that's all he could say.  That's right.

He might stumble and stagger, no doubt hit somewhere here or there and after while...  But we find out then that in the Book of the Revelation at the seventh angel's message, the mysteries, all the mysteries of it, should already be revealed by that time (Now that's Revelations 10:1-7.), that it should be revealed according to that time--at that time when He did.

Then the seven thunders utter their strange voices, and John was going to write...  It was...  John knew what it was, but he--he didn't write it, 'cause he was forbidden to write it.  That's absolutely and altogether a mystery.  It's not even in symbol or nothing.  We just know he--it thundered; that's all.

THE SEVENTH SEAL  (1963-03-24E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(557-5) {249}  Now, why?  Let us prove it.  Why?  It is the secret that no one knows about. John was forbidding to write about it, even, even write a symbol about it.  Why?  This is why there was no active in--activity in heaven; it might give away the secret.  Do you see it now?  If it's so great it must be included, because it's got to happen, but when the seven thunders...

Now, notice, when the seven angels come forth to sound their trumpets, there was one thunder. When Israel was gathered, there was a trumpet.  When time shall be no more, the last trumpet... One thunder, but here is seven straight thunders right in a row: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, that perfect number.  Seven thunders in a row, uttered not... making just--just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, straight.  Then heavens couldn't write that.  Heavens can't know about it, nothing else, because there's nothing to go on.  It's a relaxing time.  It was so great till it's kept secret from the Angels.  Now, why?

If Satan should get ahold of it, he might do great damage...  There's one thing he don't know.  Now, he can interpret anything he wants to, and impersonate any kind of a gift (I hope you're learning.), but he can't know this.  It's not even written in the Word.  It's a total secret.  The Angels, everything shut up.  If they made one move it might give something away, so they just shut up, quit harping; everything stopped.  A...

THE SEVENTH SEAL  (1963-03-24E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(568-2) {335}  "When will it be, Brother Branham?"  I cannot tell you.  I do not know.  But one of these days, if we never meet again on this earth, we're going to meet yonder at the--at the judgment seat of Christ.  And you'll find out that in that room, the revelation coming from God (just like all the rest of them has), that them...  One of the mystery of that Seal, the reason it wasn't revealed, it was seven thunders that uttered their voices, and there it is perfectly, because nothing knows anything about it; wasn't even written.  So we're at the end time; we are here.

I thank God for His Word; I thank Him for Jesus Christ.  For without sending Him for the--the propitiation of our sins, we'd all be in a big muck of sin with no hope.  But by His grace, His--His Blood cleanses all sin.  Just like the drop of ink in a bucket of Clorox, you'd never find the ink again.  When our sins are confessed, it's put in the Blood of Jesus Christ; they'll never be known again.  God forgets them; they never was even done.  And as long as that Sacrifice is laying there in an atonement for us, then that's all...  That's it.  See?  We're not sinners no more; we're Christians by the grace of God.

THE SEVENTH SEAL  (1963-03-24E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(576-3) {394}  Now, there was some reason that God let this seven voices be thundered, because it must come (See?), for the...  We find that Christ, the Lamb took the--the Book in His hand, and He opened that Seventh Seal.  But you see, it's a hidden mystery.  No one knows it.  But it--it's right along with what He said: no one would know His coming; they also would not know about this seven thunder mystery.  So you see, it's connected together.

That much we have a understanding of it today, because the rest of it is all unfolded, but this is not unfolded.  But setting in my room, and I heard this--or not heard it, rather, but seen it unfold to this seven thunders.  Now, that's as far as we can go right there.  And now I trust that each and every one of you will serve God, and do that which is right, and love Him all your life and serve Him, and God will take care of the rest.
