THE WIFE OF CHRIST RECEIVES BOTH LEGS

OF THE COMING OF THE LORD

Remember the Feet!

I want to bring to you a message dealing with the subject, The Wife of Christ Receives Both Legs of the Coming of the Lord, Remember the Feet! We will be talking about the Mighty Angel, Christ coming down from heaven to earth in this last day. Now Christ the Holy Ghost was with the early church beginning at the Day of Pentecost which we will refer to as the first leg of the coming of Christ as seen in Revelation, Chapter 10. Here in this last day we begin to see Christ in the fullness of His person, the bridegroom as He comes to take His wife. But this mighty anointing was lost after the church fell from its first love. (Revelation 2:4-5) Now it becomes very clear that was not the coming of the Lord as John saw it there on the Isle of Patmos; although that was Christ in them at that time.

Now the Word of God teaches that He put one foot on sea, and one foot on earth. We'll read it in Revelation, Chapter 10. But first I want to tell you about a dream I had when I was doing The Interpreted Book of Revelation in the 1970s; many of you have read it already. I had gotten to a place in Revelation, Chapter 10 that I did not understand and I was saying, "Lord, I don't understand what this means… that the Mighty Angel came down and put one foot on sea and one foot on earth, and how Christ is in the earth. I believe you've always been here, but it looks like you are coming to the people again and I don't understand how it fits?" I was praying and thinking like this when I fell into a deep sleep and had a dream; it was very real to me. In the dream I was walking through a pasture towards an old farmhouse. I was walking up a little trail just kicking stones around and thinking while I was walking. Well, I got almost to the farmhouse and it appeared as if no one lived there, it was just an old farmhouse in the meadow. So as I walked towards the old house, I noticed the door to the house open as I was approaching and a man came out on the porch. The man had a bullhorn in his hand. It was something like what policemen use to talk through to make an announcement or to direct a crowd. He raised the bullhorn to his mouth and said with a loud voice, "Remember the Feet!" Then he lowered the bullhorn down to his side, turned around and went back inside the house and closed the door. Then I woke up. Those words were ringing in my ears. "Remember the Feet! Remember the Feet!"

Well, I associated the dream with what I was studying on – Christ coming again. But I knew He came on the Day of Pentecost? I couldn't quite get it all together where it would make a complete total revelation. After waking up I thought on it a little; then went back to sleep. Upon waking up the next morning, I began the Book of Revelation 10:1-2 again where I had been studying prior to going to bed the night before. I had read about the feet many times; but it seemed I would read right over the top of it. But this time those words, 'feet' just grabbed me, it was something that I needed to get into my mentality. That's why in the dream the man walked out on the porch with the bullhorn. I couldn't associate anything else with the dream but those words, "Remember the Feet!" That was the only three words that were spoken; then I began to study and see a picture form and it started to make sense to me. So that is what I want to deal with today and show you where we're at in time. Now we have the understanding that to the bride of Christ both legs of the coming of the Lord are made known; how it fits and we can look back and see how it all began to take place.

Let's read here in Revelation 10:1, "And I saw another mighty angel come down (now I want you to notice – 'Come down' meaning He wasn't here in this form) come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: (that means it takes a revelation to see Him) and a rainbow was upon his head, and his feet as pillars of fire: Verse 2; And he had in his hand a little book open: (now watch the feet) and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth." Now in that Verse 2 are two clues that let us know exactly what time period this is talking about and I knew that, but still I couldn't get the meaning of the feet together in my mind.

Now the time period here lets us know that He comes with the little book open. That lets us know that this was something that transpired in 1963, because in 1963 was when God's prophet, William Branham was in Arizona and seven angels came to him. Then the Lord sent him back to Jeffersonville, Indiana, to preach the revelation of the seven seals. And each night the Lamb broke one of the seals and sent it down to Brother Branham as he preached them. He said, "One of those messengers (angels) brought the revelation of that seal." So the seals had to be off the book before it could be opened. And that did not occur until 1963. So let me read it again with that thought in mind. "And he had in his hand a little book open." No seals on it, all of them off. We preached a message in this very place on Finding the Little Book within the Big Book. The Lamb unsealed the whole book, the book of redemption for all God's family, and took from it the portion which is called the little book that applies to His wife. And the Mighty Angel brought it down to earth and gave it to John, who was a type of Christ's wife. Christ put His right foot on the sea and His left foot on the earth. God made sure that John knew how to differentiate between the two feet. The word sea has reference to His first coming when the Holy Ghost came on the Jewish Feast Day of Pentecost; but the left foot on earth is a reference to the United States of America.

Now Christ came to earth after He put one foot on the sea, in other words, a portion of His coming had already taken place then in the form of the Holy Ghost to get a bride introduced to Christ. Although the plan was lost during the seven church ages, we now see the full plan of God come into plain view. Everything the church would need, God put it in Paul's mind and he wrote it. He said we would all speak the same thing and he told us the church (bride) would have one mind and be in one accord. Then the great Apostle Paul wrote about Christ and the bride coming together. At the first leg of Christ's coming, Paul engaged us and (prophesied) that we would become bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh; a marriage would take place and we would reach the fullness of the stature of the man Christ Jesus here at the end time as both legs of Christ's Spiritual coming is complete. John saw it in Revelation, Chapter 10.

Now when we reach the fullness of the stature of the man Christ Jesus then we have the full knowledge of Christ, because Christ comes down and we are baptized into His body. First comes the baptism of the Holy Ghost and then we are baptized into the body. Now that first part was lost during the seven church ages, and God dealt with the church using the seven Spiritual angels and seven earthly star messengers. That is why you have the seven thunders here at the end of the seven church ages to finish the Mystery of God in Revelation 10:7. This is very important here, because the truth that was brought at the first leg was lost. Christ was seen mainly as High Priest and not seen as the Holy Ghost. He had to make intercession for a fallen church during the seven church ages. That's why the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the engagement part of the Word had to be brought back and restored before the second leg of His coming could transpire. That's why God revealed the mystery of the seven church ages and opened the seven seals; although Brother Branham didn't fully clear up the second part of the fifth seal dealing with the Jews, nor did he fully clear up the sixth seal which is the day of the Lord; but God used Brother Raymond Jackson to bring the revelation of these seals further. Brother Jackson preached a series of messages entitled, "The Last 100 Years" in several of the Contenders and he dealt with going back to Pentecost where in 1906 there on Azusa street in California, the Holy Ghost came down in a similar way as He did on the Day of Pentecost. As He did, the first leg of His coming (right foot) started coming back, all the way through up to this time. Then after the seals were opened – the book is opened – then we begin to see the second leg as Christ begins His Spiritual descent; now we begin to see the fullness of Christ coming and that is what Paul wrote about. He wrote that we would come to the fullness of the stature of the man Christ Jesus and not just be a church, not just be a virgin engaged; but he said, "You will become the very wife of Christ." Hallelujah! He said, "Ye are the body of Christ."

Now when we go to Revelation, Chapter 10, we see that He put one foot on sea first. But when that took place the first time, the virgin fell away from the pure Word; then Christ withdrew Himself taking with Him the revelation of the Word that Paul uttered in prophecy about Christ and the bride coming together in marriage to fulfill God's plan of them becoming one. But carnal men took the Word Paul wrote and made churches; they made denominations, and in each age God would move through one of those church age messengers to bring them life for that age. There were seven church age messengers and they came and brought revelation for their age, but the time came that He wanted to restore back the truth that was delivered in Paul's time period. Although that part of the Word alone was not enough to get us where we needed to go; that was just the restoration of what they had back there in the engagement. But it is something we must have. It is something we must see and understand in order to get what God has ordained for us. But since it was lost, there was no one; no ministry could bring it back. So here is what God did. He reached back in the Old Testament and got the spirit of Elijah and He anointed a man, the last church age messenger. He anointed that man with a special anointing and that anointing was this, "That both the written Word and the unwritten Word comes to the prophet." Because the Word says, "When he comes, he will restore back." "Behold, I'll send you the spirit of Elijah and he will restore." But he didn't take us forward to what the marriage is. He couldn't get us married, because he was not a New Testament ministry; but an Old Testament type prophet. He restored us back to what they had; restored us back to the engagement. Also, he brought us unwritten Word such as the seals. Now that is very important to understand.

Now, let's look in time to about 1906, the first leg (foot) came again, the leg was beginning to be restored back. Here the first leg of Christ is coming and they were speaking in tongues; they were rejoicing in the Lord and the move of God was just so tremendous, so profound. And as it always happens when a move of God takes place there were those critics that said, "Leave it alone, because within two or three years it will blow over." Well, the Pentecostal Movement has gone all over the world. It was like setting a big brush fire and the more they tried to put it out, the more it burned. Then God began to inject Word into this move of His Spirit like He did the early church. They had the blessings; they had the power of Pentecost. Now He is going to put that Word back in there. So the first leg came back as in Paul's day; God raised up a prophet who reached back and showed us why this took place and why the church fell and how it went into the Dark Ages; it was the mystery that John spoke of in Revelation 1:20. And now here at the end time God has revealed this mystery concerning seven stars and seven lamp stands. God said, "I am going to finish this mystery, and it is going to be in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when this mystery is going to be cleared up. The mystery is the seven church ages. Therefore, when people refuse to even accept that God has sent a prophet; when they refuse to accept this part, it is impossible to go on towards revelation to becoming His wife. Because that is one of the things you've got to see that has happened and what God did. This prophet began to say; "Remember this; the Word doesn't come to anybody but a prophet." And the Word came to him. We brought a message on that in a book that was written in 1970 after I had gone on a forty days fast in the latter part of 1969. I preached the message first and then the book came from it that we entitled, An Old Testament Prophet Comes to a New Testament Age. So here came the Prophet William Branham and God anointed him with such power. He told about things that had been hid which had to come directly from God. He told us the names and the time periods of each one of the church age messengers. I have preached it over the years about the church ages, but Christ instructed me to go on to the other part of the Word that applies to His wife for this hour.

Most all you here can name the church age messengers and the time periods they existed in. Now this Prophet William Branham was unlike one in the office of the New Testament prophets, in that there was more than one on the scene at the same time. Once I was in another country, and they were saying, "The Word doesn't come to anybody but a prophet." Well, they wanted me to preach, so I explained the revelation to them about the statement that "the Word doesn't come to anybody but a prophet." I told them that this was strange language to the New Testament. It is unknown to the New Testament language. Because we have to have the ministry of Ephesians 4:11, and we have to have it in the order it is written. They were shocked! We need to be shaken back to the New Testament understanding of the Word. Well, God now has a man here on the scene to say some shocking things and the reason he does, God has to bring certain things to him the same way He did the Apostle Paul to take this forward to the completion just like John saw it, the fullness of Christ as He comes to earth, one foot on sea and one foot on earth as He wrote in Revelation, Chapter 10.

So that first leg began to be restored back in 1906, and then here came Brother Branham injecting the Word into that. When he began to inject the Word into it, there began to be a shaking that took place. We began to see that many that spoke in tongues were doing it because they had learned the ability to speak in tongues, and then it began to go into the worldly realm. It began to go into denominations. In 1914, a preacher during the early restoration made this statement, saying, "In Bible days no one was ever baptized after Pentecost except in the Name of Jesus Christ. As he said this, another minister said, "Amen," to it. Only those two ministers saw this revelation on water baptism, and they were rejected by a group of some six hundred ministers that heard them speak. After this they started all the denominations, and went their own way with the Trinity Doctrine. Then God began setting people's hearts on fire with the revelation of one God and water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ; but once it began to grow it became a denomination like those before them. Well, the Pentecostals proved that only the predestinated would go on with God and accept the Word. Many will accept His blessings; but not Him. When God began to bring the Word further on, the denominations had only a limited understanding. That's why they made their rules the way they did; regardless of what God revealed to you, you couldn't go on beyond their rules. Now the denominational system has grown, until it is a big thing in the world today. This system is part of that church age stalk that the life of God was once in before it died. Revelation 10:6, says, "Time is no more for this system of religion."

Now John saw what would happen right at the end time, Christ would be in the earth in His fullness, and at this time both legs (feet) are here, standing on sea and on earth; a people baptized into His body and married to Him. Praise God! That's His wife. He comes to her and she recognizes Him, the fullness of Christ, one foot on sea and one foot on earth, and she has the understanding of it. This is not just something that some man has cooked up in his mind. No it fits right here; it lays in the Word and it is for us.

So God sent that prophet with the Word that restored us back to the engagement Word. He brought these things and he left it there. When people got to saying that the Word doesn't come to anybody but a prophet that was all right, that was fine, because that was what God was doing. But then there came a time when God said, "Let's move it on because this is not all there is, there's the second leg to the New Testament; that's the Spiritual part of the Word. Now let's move up to the marriage of the Lamb, to the fullness of the Word where a marriage is taking place." So God took the prophet home when his message was over. But before He did, the seven seals had been opened and the little book brought back to earth. Now we have the Spiritual New Testament, both Word and Spirit for His wife.

Now there was Peter and the eleven other apostles of the Jewish category, and they were used of God to produce the Jewish part of the church which was the brethren. That was God's plan to get the Jews, the first leg of the coming of the Lord that was ordained. The gospel went to the Jews first, and they reached the fullness of the stature of what they were to reach as the brethren of Christ. They were never ordained to be part of the wife of Christ. Now that finished the plan of God for the Jewish part of the church completely, because the next thing for Israel is that two prophets will soon be prophesying there; that is when the gospel goes back to Israel. But God had to get the brethren first to rule and reign with Him in the millennium in and around the territory of Israel. In the Book of Matthew 19:27-28 it says, "Then answered Peter and said unto Him, "Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?" And Jesus said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." He had to get the brethren first before going over to the Gentiles to get a wife for His Son. All of this takes place at the first leg of His coming to the Gentiles; which coming at that time was both to the Jews and the Gentiles.

Now we pick up at the place where Paul began preaching, and we have an apostle standing there saying, "I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my office." Amen. It is said by some that Paul was a prophet; but the Word says differently. The Word says Paul was an apostle; but at times those other offices worked right out through Him. He brought a Word and laid it in here and Christ told Paul, "You have finished your job, but I want to tell you there are people among you and as soon as you're gone they are going to rise up and take their own doctrines; take their own theories, and they are going to draw people after themselves." Then when the angel of God talked to John on the Isle of Patmos, he said unto the church, "You have fallen from your first love." That first leg was not seen again in its fullness until this last day. In Revelation, Chapter one, we see Jesus walking amongst the candlesticks dressed as a High Priest which was His predominant office at that time. The Holy Ghost was not seen in the manner which He was seen in the early church, until the restoration of the first leg began in 1906. There were seven candlesticks and seven lamp stands as we went through that time period of the seven church ages. Martin Luther came out of the Catholic Church in 1700 and preached "The just shall live by faith," he knew nothing about the Holy Ghost. There was one time when the Holy Ghost moved upon him and he spoke in tongues some. He said, "Forgive me for speaking in that strange language." Then John Wesley came and God moved on him, and he said, "We not only need to believe, but we need to live right." It says in Romans, Chapter 8, that you are predestinated to be conformed to the image of Christ. That means there's a change in your life. It's not that you say, "I got saved," and then go your own way. There's a definite change. He put His mind in you. He put His attributes in you. But when the baptism of the Holy Ghost came the Pentecostal Movement started and the Wesleyans of course said, "This is of the devil." But God said at the end time He was going to bring it back to the original, and He's not going to stop when He gets it back to the original. Hallelujah! Getting us back to the original only accomplishes one thing: it gets us back to the first leg, one foot on sea. Now as we have gotten to this stage, then the other leg of His coming begins to take place and the start of it is clearly seen in 1963 as this coming begins to unfold into three (progressive) phases (stages) which is the shout, the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, making the fullness of Christ walking around here in the earth in His wife. Glory to God! Married to Him, united to Him! God has given to us our portion of the Word. God has made us His heirs and joint heirs with Christ. We have all the things of Christ in us, and He gave us a specific chapter in the Bible.

After God used Brother Branham to preach the revelation of the seven seals, He took him home. But waiting in the wings was a man to pick up this revelation taking it on further and bringing things that the wife would need concerning Israel the brethren. One time Brother Branham was fasting and praying because he was going to preach on the seven trumpets, he spoke of this when he was about to preach the Feast of Trumpets. He was praying and he told his wife, "Things are just not working." They could get the school building; but they would have to have it one day on and one day off and so on. Everyway and everything he started, there seemed to be a roadblock. He had come all the way from Tucson, Arizona to Jeffersonville, Indiana to preach the seven trumpets, but nothing would work. So he went in a room and said, "Lord, I don't understand it. I've announced that I'm here and the people are going to be coming in. I've announced I was going to preach on the seven trumpets, just like I did the seals and Lord everything is going wrong. Lord, I can't get anything put together to work. What's wrong Lord, what's wrong?" And he was in a room praying and here came the angel of God and told him, "It is not for the church at this time. You're not to preach on it." So he came out and told his wife, "He met me in there; I know what it is now. He told me it's not for the church at this time." Later God used Brother Raymond Jackson to clear up the seven trumpets.

When Brother Branham preached the fifth seal he made known that there were two parts of it. The first part showed Hitler and Eichmann and all those Jews that were killed for the Word of God. God used this persecution to drive them back to their homeland. But there was another part to that fifth seal. The Jews were crying out, "Oh Lord, holy and true, how long will thou not avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes (the mercy of God, eternal life) were given unto every one of them: and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." This is showing that many more Jews will be killed in the second part of the fifth seal. God gave those predestinated Jews eternal life that were killed for the Word of God. Brother Branham made known the fifth seal was in two parts. One part of it had already happened and he explained it; but then God took Brother Branham off the scene. But here was a man waiting in the wings, and on his mind was what would take place with Israel in the 70th Week of Daniel as the two prophets would begin to prophesy in the first three and half years and the trumpets begin to sound. Even today, the folks at Faith Assembly Church there in Jeffersonville, Indiana, still preach much about what will happen in Israel. They have a train of thinking that was left by Brother Jackson, a certain slant on the gospel – right to Israel – as they continue to preach that portion of the Word that was left by Brother Jackson. This clearly indicates the portion of the Word that he was to make known revealing the brethren Israel to the bride. God showed Brother Jackson the trumpets, when the two prophets come and how God would deal with Israel as these two prophets, one with the spirit of Moses and the other with the spirit of Elijah would be standing there smiting the earth. (Revelation, Chapter 11) God had a man there to reveal what those seven trumpets were and how they would apply to Israel. God wanted to tell the bride what was going to happen to the Jews, and it wasn't something that was restored back to the bride, because it never was part of the Word that was lost in the other ages.

I want you to notice this, God sent a prophet to restore the Word that was part of the Word that the early church had, and also that which was lost in the church ages. Now when God gets that which is restored back, He uses His prophet to bring out of His treasures things old and new. So when God got these things restored back, the ministry of Elijah was over. Now He has restored back what the early church had and many new things such as the opening of the seven seals; thus completing the first leg and bringing us into the second leg. There stood a people that had been called out of denominations; the wisest people on the face of the earth. Then God began moving from another corner we would say; they weren't expecting this. Here came a man that stepped out. Raymond Jackson. He began to tell about Israel. He told how they were going to get all their land and what would happen; thus clearing up the revelation of the second part of the fifth seal. He did a super job, it's wonderful to behold. But when it came to our chapter, Revelation, Chapter 10, Brother Jackson said, "Well, the thunders haven't sounded; the Mighty Angel hasn't cried yet; that will take place somewhere out here in the future. God is going to perfect us with the five fold ministry, and then somewhere out here in the future He is going to send seven men (thunders) that will pick it up and do the rest." Well, God took him off the scene saying that, but did God stop moving? No, He hasn't got His wife yet. Not only has He restored back that which they previously had through Brother Branham; but here He used Brother Jackson to bring something the early church didn't even have. God used Brother Jackson to clear up Israel's place in the scripture, in which included the trumpets and the vials; now the second part of the fifth seal is clearly made known to the bride.

We were over in the country of Zambia and my wife Barbara was reading in one of the books. She reads a lot and thank God we have some good things to read. But she was reading about the seven church ages and how the first four seals deals with those church ages; but when it comes to the fifth seal, "I said in the book she was reading, "This fifth seal deals with something else besides the church." All of a sudden the Spirit of the Lord touched her and began to deal with her. She began to talk about how God used Brother Jackson to clear up the rest of the things on the second part of the fifth seal; he began dealing with something that didn't pertain to the Gentile wife of the Lamb. He was waiting in the wings to bring these things and now it is done. Yes, sometimes it's somebody you least expect to know something will come out with a revelation and you will say, "I didn't know that. I hadn't thought of that." That's just the way God works. Brother Raymond Jackson cleared all those things up. But when it came to Revelation, Chapter 10, God pulled a veil down, this is as far as I want you to come my servant. So Brother Jackson would read about the seven thunders and say, "That is going to take place later on after the five fold ministry gets us perfected." He said it would be seven men that would be in different areas of the world and they would rise up and preach the same thing. That is as good a theory as you could have I guess, until God gets ready to move us on with further revelation, which He has done. God had also during this time something waiting in the wings. That is the way God has always moved. The bride will understand. There are two legs of the coming of Christ to produce the man Christ Jesus in His wife. These things that we have covered so far are absolutely necessary in order to understand the two legs, the two feet of the coming of Christ, and Brother Jackson plays a critical part of this understanding. We wouldn't be where we are now had not God put him on the scene and given us revelation of his place. He fulfilled a step just like Brother Branham did. He fulfilled a step just like each one of those seven church age messengers. But God pulled the curtain down and when He pulls the curtain down we can go no further, and only those at the end time that are to be translated will see the whole picture. There are a people that are living now that are going to be translated, and we get that new body which is complete salvation! So God saved something for us right at the end time. Thank God for all these men who came before us, but when we get to Revelation, Chapter 10, and that's now, He has reached over and gotten married to His wife.

Last Sunday's message we brought in about where we have the five fold ministry and the other members which in times past were referred to as – shepherds and sheep. But that only applies to the five fold ministry and what they will do until; till we all come together, and we pass that Till of Ephesians 4:13. Then the ministry part of the bride (masculine part) and all the other members (feminine part) are united together in one body and are married to Christ, baptized into His body. Then the purpose of the five fold ministry changes to accommodate the wife of Christ, instead of accommodating the engaged virgin. They begin to speak as a husband to a wife, as Paul spoke in Ephesians 4:15, "Speaking the truth in love." They have been given His mind and attributes and are no longer looked at in this manner as shepherds and sheep; but are members of the body of Christ united as one. They are seen now as a whole, the wife of Christ, making up the perfect man. We have reached the stature of the fullness of the man Christ Jesus and are no longer tossed to and fro, because we have His mind. We all are going the same way and have the same revelation; we also see the way God revealed it. He brought it in step by step and we don't have to walk blind folded any longer; we can walk in this with our eyes wide open. This is a revelation from Christ that you and I have and that we can stand on. It's not just my revelation; but it is your revelation. If you sit here and listen over the years and it doesn't become your revelation then something is wrong. This has to be your revelation and not just Brother Ben's revelation. Is that right? You are the body of Christ. You are the wife of Christ, you're married to the Lamb and now we have reached the fullness of the stature of the man Christ Jesus. He has given us the full revelation of the Word of God, and now we see Christ in the earth taking on flesh and bones. Just like Paul said, "Bone of His bone, flesh of His Flesh, mind of His mind, Word of His Word, love of His love, Spirit of His Spirit, both legs. He put one foot on sea and one foot on earth, Remember the Feet! Hallelujah!

Now let's get into our chapter which is Revelation, Chapter 10. We will read Verses 3-4; now watch what He does, "And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices." We have heard the cry, which is the announcement of Matthew, Chapter 25, and He begins making His descent with a shout! "Go ye out to meet Him because He's coming, He has started making His descent." At this time the preparatory (transitional period) conditions begin to transpire for His arrival on earth meaning that He would soon be here as is related in Revelation, Chapter 10, and 1 Thessalonians 4:16. This second leg of His coming is completed in Revelation 10:8, as the Voice from heaven speaks again ending the silence in heaven (transitional period) and tells John that Christ the Mighty Angel is here in the earth, "Go take the little book." This completes the understanding that He is here in angelical form. All this started in Matthew, Chapter 25, as the messenger made the announcement, "Behold the bridegroom cometh." The process was set in motion then. He cried with a loud Voice and it woke us up. There are some people that sleep very sound and you have to holler in their ears to wake them up. But some people you can just kind of whisper in their ears "time to get up" and they will open their eyes, wake up and be ready to go in a few minutes, while others you have to work with them to get them to wake up. We've heard the mighty Voice and now we are awake. He has given us time to wake up and wipe the sleep out of our eyes. We have woken up and realized where we are at and what is going on. We realize that it is not in the hand of man any longer in denominational workings of any kind, time is no more for God dealing in the church age manner. God has anointed men that stand forth, and thank God for those that are willing to stand up and tell it just like it is. When they speak His wife knows this is the bridegroom, my husband speaking to me. It's Christ speaking to the church. Don't ever think that Christ doesn't speak through you and to you, because that is Revelation 10:11, "And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings." It's this prophetic Voice! This is not the nonsense of denominations that are going to pass away and change next week or next month, and just as soon as certain earthly conditions change their revelation changes. I have seen it over the years and if you will listen to the audio message called Bishops, Elders, and Deacons, I believe there were about seventeen preachers sitting there and even some of you were there. They got up and you heard their testimonies (even now some can be heard on this audio message) and they were all saying, "This is Christ in the earth. This is it, we've found the way!" Well, as soon as conditions changed in their lives or with something else they said, "I don't know about that, it's probably not that way." But when you get the mind of Christ in you, your revelation doesn't change each time conditions change. You have to see beyond that man and ask yourself, "Is this Christ talking to me?" Well, does it set your heart on fire? Did not our heart burn within us as He spake to us along the way? Praise the Lord! Amen. So the wife gets both feet. The wife and her alone hears His Voice, "Remember the Feet." I am not talking about me here in the sense that I heard it there in the dream, but you hear it also when you see the feet. When you know what it is.

So the first leg of His coming is restored completely. We got it. We have to have it so we won't be one legged. That's what some of the denominations are, they are trying to walk around with one leg. They say we've got the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Well praise God for you! You've got to have it; but let's go on and get baptized into the body of Christ. And in the body there are nine Spiritual gifts, everybody has the same mind, everybody has the same judgment, everybody is going the same way. What is the baptism into the body of Christ? It's receiving the mind of Christ. It's not you go out here and go through some kind of ritual to get baptized into the body. God puts you in the body of Christ and gives you His Mind. Christ gives you His attributes. Christ gives you His life. You will know that it is Christ that has come. That's where your life is at. We are in heavenly places! Paul spoke it and wrote it down; it was the prophetic Word. Here comes Christ in this end time and brings that same thing back that was established under the first leg of His coming which was Paul introducing a bride to Christ, but the second leg gets her married to Christ. Hallelujah! Here stands Christ and His wife. He is a full grown husband and both legs of His coming are completed: the fullness of Christ in the earth.

John wrote this and he said when the seventh angel sounds, in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, he is going to reach back and clear up the mystery of God; in which we now know after the opening of the seven seals that it was what the thunders were and what they uttered; but people didn't accept it. They thought it was going to be something else and God left it that way. We don't blame the people, we blame God for it. The reason we blame God for it is, because He did it. Jesus walked around here all those years. They ate with Him, slept with Him, and all that. The disciples watched Him walk on water, and the people watched Him multiply the fish and the loaves to feed them. He even walked up to a leper colony and healed ten lepers. He spoke the Word and all ten of them were healed immediately. Then He went on. But He looked back and here came one of them following Him because he wanted to thank Jesus. Jesus asked him, "Where are the other nine?" They got the same thing this man got; but they went on their way unthankful. Here was one; not only was something done for his physical body, but there was something done for his soul. He came thanking the Lord. It is the same thing today. Many people have heard it; but there are a few that gets revelation of the Word of God for this hour. That's what is meant when I said, "God did it." The Bible says, "God hid this from the wise and prudent, but reveals it to babes that will learn." So this is all the plan of God even to where we are at today. We are here perfectly in the plan of God and things are coming forth just like God has ordained it. Don't you ever for a minute blame somebody because they don't see it or understand it like you do, because you wouldn't have seen it either if God had not revealed it. So don't say, "Those people don't do this and they don't do that." Leave them alone. You go on. Christ is getting His wife while the world and the religious church world are totally blind to what is going on with Christ and His wife.

He brings His wife into the tent and they become intimate with one another. Christ becomes one with her, just like Isaac went into the tent with Rebecca and not a single one of the other maidens went in, although they partook of the ceremonial (festivities) part of the wedding, but only Rebecca went into the tent. (Listen to the audio, view the video, or read the message, There Are Two Parts to a Wedding: Ceremonial and Consummation for further enlightenment.)

Now Christ has given His wife a wedding garment without spot, without blemish. She is clothed in fine linen, clean and white, which is the righteousness of saints; and all the rest of the saints we find are washing their robes and making them white in the blood of the Lamb in the tribulation period. Well, they have their place. What I'm saying here is we have our position to fill and I'm so happy for it, so let's don't look down our nose at someone else that God has not anointed and given this revelation to. The wife, and her alone sees the two legs of the coming of the Christ. One leg of His coming came on the Jewish Feast Day of Pentecost, and through the early part of the church. Then Christ withdrew His Spirit in this form and the book of redemption was no longer available, but is seen in heaven sealed with seven seals. Now He has opened the seven seals and brought the little book part back of the book of redemption and gives it exclusively to His wife, leaving the remainder of the book of redemption for the remainder of God's Family and even the earth itself, because He paid for it all.

So the first leg of His coming is restored back, because all things had to be restored that they previously had. Now this second leg completes the picture. I want to show you what the thunder voices said when He cried with a loud Voice, "And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, (John was in 96 AD; remember this, God used John to type out the bride here) 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 was John standing there in 96 AD; he saw these things. He heard the thunders and he was about to write all that down, but God wanted it to remain a mystery, because God wanted to keep every age looking for the coming of Christ. Each age went down expecting the coming of the Lord, and when they rise up we will all be together. We might say to Martin Luther, "When did you get here," and he'll say, "This morning." He's gone into eternity, and there is one great eternal day. When the members of the body of Christ come up, then we are all united together as the wife of Christ.

So the Lord told John, "Don't write it; but seal it up." There were seven seals and that was what was opened and it has been laid right in your hands. "And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven 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." In other words, we are out of that time period now, and here is something else going now. We know that time is no more for the seven church ages; time is no more for the uttering of the thunders, and time is no more for Him to make intercession for His wife in a church age manner. That time period has come to an end for her because she no longer sees Him just as high priest, but as her husband. He has come to claim her and has given her His very own righteousness of fine linen, clean and white, and she is fully part of Him. (Revelation 19:7-8) Both feet are here, one foot on sea and one foot on earth; here stands Christ and to you that see, His face is shining as the sun. He's real to you. He loves us and we love Him. A lot of people love their big denominations and fancy churches. They confuse love for their church for the love of God. They think they love the Lord by loving some system or some teaching. When you love, be sure you love Jesus the anointed Word.

In Revelation 10:7 it says, "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 has declared to his servants the prophets." This mystery is not sealed any longer. Now remember this was written in 96AD; it's going to stay sealed until the seventh angel sounds his voice, and as he does he reveals what the other six angels had to say. That is what John heard when he heard the seven thunders uttering their voices. It is cleared up today. Brother Branham came and fulfilled that voice of the seventh angel. God also reached over and put the spirit of Elijah on him and he restored back the 'faith of the fathers' teaching of the early church. He is gone. Brother Jackson's gone. We are here and Christ is here. Now the Voice of Authorization says, "Go take the little book." And we have been witness to that with our own eyes and our own ears. This move of God, this chapter that God has given to us is cleared up.

A man called here awhile back and asked, "Brother Ben, don't you believe in the seven men, don't you believe that seven men are going to come?" I thought for a second and said, "In fact I do." He said, "I heard you didn't believe that there are seven men to come." I said, "Oh yes." He asked, "You believe they're going to be here on earth?" I said, "Oh yes, yes, I believe I'll meet and talk with them all." He said, "Oh praise God, you can be in the rapture now, since you believe that the seven thunders are men here at the end time." Then I said, "But Sir, they will not be preaching; their work in that manner is finished. These seven men will come up in the resurrection when all the other bride saints come up. Those seven church age messengers that the seven thunders (Spiritual angels) sounded through in their day are going to stand right there." Yes, before we go up the Bible says, "The dead in Christ is going to rise first and together with them we will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air." How long will that together be for us to blend together? Only God knows that. In Bible days when Christ arose with the Old Testament Saints it was forty days and nights that they ate, drank and talked with Him. So, we will just have to wait and see.

Yes, those seven Spiritual angels that was with those messengers came to that prophet. Those seven angels came and met with him in Arizona and uttered their voices right through him. It cleared up the mystery. It's all behind us; we are not looking for nor waiting for that because it has already happened. We love Jesus and we are receiving from Him. We are just eating fine and He has given us plenty to eat, the little book. God bless you. How many sees the two legs of His coming is complete? It is important, because just as God spoke to Paul, just as God spoke to Christ, just as He spoke to Peter and said, "Go with these men doubting nothing," now God has spoken again and said, "Remember the Feet!" Get the feet right and you will have it. Remember the Feet! Now the fullness of Christ is on earth; not just one leg of His coming, not just the Holy Ghost, but we are baptized into His body with His mind, with His attributes and we have become the flesh and bones of that Mighty Angel that comes down, both legs of His coming! Amen. He's come! He's here, hallelujah, He is here, amen! God bless you.
