THIRD TESTAMENT FALLACY - End Time Message

Transcription

"THIRD TESTAMENT" FALLACYThis message of exhortation was written and inspired by the Holy Ghost to warnyou, dear Message believers, from the influence of a new strange doctrine in the ranks ofthe Message-of-the-Hour which introduces a new teaching popularly known as "The ThirdTestament".The Holy Bible speaks only of Two Testaments - The Old and the New, and these pertain tothe Dispensation of the "Law" and the Dispensation of "Grace".Adding a Third Testament to the Bible is obviously breaking the Word pattern ofthe Bible, and the angel of Revelation 22:18 warned those who do by saying - "For I testifyunto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shalladd unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book".And thus, any teaching therefore, that is adding to or trying to twist the sacredness of Scripturesneeds to be rejected, for it is considered as a private interpretation, a dogma or creed,being man-made from its very inception.Rev. William Branham, the messenger of the age, never used such a doctrinal terminology inhis entire biblical ministry nor can it be found in his 1,100 recorded sermons. Given such apremise, I deem to consider this doctrine therefore of the "Third Testament" a fallacy.Though End Time believers believe that Jesus comes three times: First to (1) Redeem HisBride at the Cross; second (2) to Catch Away His Bride in the Rapture; and third (3) to Reignand Rule with His Bride in the Millennium, yet all of these three events are already part ofthe New Testament which spans from the Book ofMatthew until the Book of Revelation.Nowhere does it say in the Bible nor in the Message that each coming of Jesus was a separatetestament on its own.Such unorthodox group, who also proudly call themselves today as the "Third ComingBelievers," teaches that the “Rapture” or the “Catching Away of the Bride” isalready over and past and has already taken place in the year 1963.This same group claims that its members are now living in the Millennium, yet you can stillsee them around walking with their mortal bodies which still grow old, get sick, hunger andthirst, and some are still being buried in the grave.This group teaches that Jesus has already come in His “Third Coming”, as"King ofkings" and as the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah", and that He is now reigning on the earth with arod of iron.But Jesus, according to them, has come back in Theophany-form only, for they do notbelieve that Jesus is ever coming back again in a corporal-body flesh. They do not believe thatJesus was ever resurrected in the flesh for they misconstrue the flesh of Jesus as a brute beastwhich is no different from an animal as it is composed of the same 16 elements that we have.And as such, Jesus is considered by them to be a mere mortal man with a serpentine nature, andthus, His “flesh and blood” cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.Yet this group teaches that Jesus is now reigning on the earth today through His “Son of David

Ministry", ruling with a rod of iron, the nations, in their own "imaginary" Millennium. Theyregard their physical bodies as the “earth” where Jesus is reigning now, and the Vitamin“E” in their blood as the “iron” in which He is ruling it with.Those who would not agree with their doctrines are considered by them to be “ashes”undertheir feet and are tagged by them as people who are now living under theGreat Tribulation,for these people are wailing, and weeping and gnashing their teeth in defiance of their newfound thinking.This group is commonly known as the “Parnellites or Parnellians” who follow the teachingsof Donald Kinnard Parnell of www.lcfministry.com.A preacher who hails from Dayton, Ohio, USA, Don Parnell claims to have seen anapparition of Brother William Marrion Branham and has alleged to have talked with him forsix hours in the year 2002 thereby getting his special commission from him to continue thework that William Branham‟s ministry has left undone.The unbelievable and most ridiculous thing about such apparition is that he mentioned tohave seen Rev. William Branham preaching to the theophanies in the 6thDimension teaching them on how to get “faith” on how to return back to their mortal bodieson earth, when in reality theophanies no longer need faith since they are celestial SpokenWord-Bodies already. The irony is that Don Parnell teaches that the Theophany is the “HolyGhost” which makes him obviously inconsistent in his doctrine to mean that the Holy Ghost stillneeds "faith" to operate. In his testimony, he went as far as mentioning to have seen Rev.William Branham becoming a Pillar of Fire and entering into his brain. Never have I read in myBible where a prophet of God could ever become a Pillar of Fire save Jesus and/or God alone.Don Parnell is being proclaimed by his worldwide followers today to be the “ChiefWhitestone”, the “Eighth Messenger” that was to come, giving him the position of the one“Riding this Trail again” in their so-called “Two Angels Connection”. Don Parnell himselfclaims to be a “son of David” proclaiming the “Son of David” on earth today. He is saying thatsince William Branham is off the scene, the commission of forerunning the Second Coming ofthe Lord is already over when he died and so he has replaced him now as the messenger forthe Third Coming of the Lord. (Really?)

Don Parnell does not believe in a Physical Rapture or the literal “body change” of theBride. He explains it all away in his article entitled „Dimensional Things‟, and I quote him: “Theflesh will dissolve and go back to the earth. When we leave this flesh it will go back to the earthand pass through the 3rd Woe for destruction”. In other words, he consider his followers to be"atomic fodders" for the Armageddon War that's a-coming.Don Parnell deprives his followers with the “physical body change” and makes them contentedwith a mortal body that still grows old, get sick, and die yet claiming to have been rapturedalready. His doctrine is very contrary to what 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 promises the truebeliever saying, “This corruptible (referring to our physical body) must put onincorruption, and this mortality must put on immortality In a moment, in atwinkling of an eye, at the last trump : for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall beraised incorruptible, and we shall be CHANGED.”The "Rapture", according to Don Parnell, took place on February 28, 1963 in thatArizonaMystery Cloud, him misconstruing such event to be the ThirdComing ofJesus of Revelation 19. He claims that such Cloud was composed of thetheophanies of the saints coming down from the 6th Dimension (Cloud of Witnesses) whichcame down with their Theophany-King Jesus on the earth, which also startedtheMillennium from then on. That is why, he and his followers claim to live now in theMillennium in an alleged "glorified body" and discourages others not to wait nor expect for anyphysical rapture anymore for it will no longer happen, according to his teachings.Parnellites do not believe in a literal Millennium as a time element of 1,000 yearsof ruling and reigning of Christ with His Bride here on earth. They have twisted the word“Millennium” to mean just a state or condition of “rest”. They say that when they believed onJesus Christ (The Rest-Giver), they have already entered into their Millennium or "rest". Theyare now presuming to live in a Millennium without any single proof or possession of a glorifiedbody that never gets old, never gets sick, can appear and disappear and travel like thought, justlike Jesus‟ own body did after His resurrection.Brother Branham negates such teaching by describing the true Millennium as follows:

"And we know that history is closing out. The world's history will soon be over. Then we're going to step into anew day, to the great Millennium. That as one believer, I believe in the--in a Millennium, a Millennium reign withChrist, a thousand years upon the earth; the physical return of the Lord Jesus to take a physical people,glorified by His cleansing Blood." (THE INVISIBLE UNION OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST SHP.LA V-2 N-15THURSDAY 65-1125)“There will be a Millennium. The old will be young there for ever. Sickness will fadeaway and death will be no more. bullock and the lamb shall feed together. And the lionshall eat straw like the bullock, and a child shall lead them around." (SHALOM.title SIERRA.VISTA.AZ V-13 N-5 64-0112)So far, not one Parnellite has displayed any of these Millennial attributes spoken about byBrother Branham. The lions are still wild and fierce; I have not even seen one Parnellite kid tolead them around.Parnellites do not believe in a future literal Armageddon War where the nationof Israel will be fighting against its enemies as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 and39 andZechariah 12.Parnellites misconstrue Armageddon to mean just a spiritual battle of the“mind”. They aretrying to misapply the quote “the greatest battle ever fought” to Armageddon and arelimiting such event merely to a person‟s intellectual warfare with his human spirit. Suchteaching negates the whole plan of God for the nation of Israel who will be completing their 70Weeks prophesy by Daniel in the near future.Yes, there will be a literal Armageddon War. Quote: “Russia will come down, say, "Wejust got to have that stuff. That's uranium and everything down there; we got to go get it."And as they go down, then will be the battle of Armageddon. That'll be when God willstand like He did in the valley for the children of Israel and fight again. But that'll take placeuntil the Gentile dispensation will be finished. And when that time is finished, she's cutoff. (QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.1 JEFF IN COD SUNDAY 54-0103M)Parnellites do not even believe that Jesus will return for the nation of Israel for theyclaim that their members are the true 144,000 Jews and that Jesus will only come privatelyfor them and not to the nation of Israel any longer. They consider themselves to be the real144,000 justifying such claims by saying that they are "the (holy) nation, the peculiar people,and the holy priesthood.”But such claim in not supported by the Message of Brother Branham. Brother Branham taughtcontrary to such belief. He taught that the 144,000 are NOT the Bride.Quote: "Now these 144,000 are NOT in the Bride. In Revelation 14:4 they arecalled virgins and they follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth. The fact that they have notdefiled themselves with women shows that they are eunuchs (Matthew 19:12).The eunuchs were the keepers of the bridal chambers. Theywereattendants. Notice that they do NOT sit in the throne but are before the throne. NO,they are NOT in the Bride, but will be in the glorious millennial reign."41-2THE.REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.1)Parnellites also teach that Adam’s flesh and sex organ was the real serpent (JoeGomez‟, Parnell‟s avid follower in the Philippines is proclaiming it openly) and they teach thatthere is no such thing or animal called serpent but that the true serpent is really Adam and Eve‟sown carnal fleshly desires.

In Don Parnell‟s article entitled “Two Adam”, he has laid out that a new thinking for hisgroup where they teach that there were only two persons in the Garden of Eden: (1)Adam, (2) Eve, and the Missing Link (which is their Lust, Sex or Subtle Life). Suchteaching removes the very existence of Satan in the Bible. Parnellites have entreated theirhuman spirit and human flesh as “Satan” themselves.In short, Parnellites firmly teach that “they are Satan on the outside (flesh/humanspirit), yet they are Theophany-Christ on the inside”. This doctrine is nothing but asmokescreen and a deeper extrapolation of their former “Two Souls Doctrine” which teachesthat their “old soul is Satan and their new soul is Christ”. This is the reason why they promotethat a "No Rapture for the flesh", for Satan has to die and be annihilated. Parnellites justify sucha doctrine by twistingMatthew 24:40-41 to mean that only the soul is taken up in the raptureand thebody will be left to rot upon this earth.They use the verse: “two on the field, one will be taken (the soul) and one will be left (theflesh); two grinding in the mill, one will be taken (the soul) and one will be left (the flesh),” torefer not to two persons but to only one person with two beings in them – Satan (their flesh) andJesus Christ (their soul-theophany).Parnellites even went to the extent of teaching that Jesus our Lord is a serpent inHis natural flesh. This doctrine, I deem, is “blasphemy” to the core. They will explain to youthat Jesus‟ flesh was the serpent and it was the one who spoke to Him on the mountain when hewas hungry, saying, “Turn these stones into bread”. While His Theophany-Soul inside of Him,on the other hand, was the one who told His flesh, “Man shall not live by bread alone but byevery Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God; Get thee hence, Satan,” according tothem. Parnellite teachings have certainly turned the Bible truth into fables, fulfilling 2 Timothy4:2-4.Parnellites do not believe that Jesus our Lord has resurrected nor hasascended physically in heaven. They teach that Jesus body went back into ashes, and onlyHis soul-theophany was caught up in His ascension. They do not even believe in a literal“Heaven”. Heaven to the Parnellites is just a "condition" of the heart, not a geographicallocation above where Christ has ascended and is seated on God‟s Throne. Heaven to theParnellites is but a “state of happiness" and a matter of "positive thinking”. What aboutREVELATION 8:1, when God “opened the seventh seal, there was silence in HEAVENabout the space of half an hour.” That only proves that heaven is a true location whereangels worship Jesus and they hushed their singing when Jesus' corporal body came down onearth during that seventh seal physical-rapture event.To teach that Jesus never resurrected and ascended in flesh denies the very Bible teachingin Acts 1:9 which states that, “When He (Jesus) had spoken these things, while theybeheld, HE was taken UP; and a CLOUD received Him out of their sight.” Parnellitescertainly denies the physical rapture of Enoch and Elijah just to support their teaching of“No physical rapture nor body-change for the Bride of Jesus Christ”.Parnellites do not believe in a literal “Lake of Fire”. They teach that sinceGod is a“consuming fire”, therefore, God is the “Lake of Fire” Himself.So what would happen then to all the sinners and the unbelievers if Jesus threw them all intothe Lake of Fire? Well, if God is the Lake of Fire, as they claim to be, all those sinners will surely

be saved and will receive Eternal Life and will spend eternity with the saints forever. I can'timagine the Kingdom of God having such fashion. How preposterous such doctrine can be.For the Parnellites, there‟s no more literal Hell, there‟s no more literal Devil; everything tothem has turned “imaginary” and “dimensional". Satan to them is attributed to theircarnal flesh and their human spirit – which is why their flesh can be excused to doanything sinful, for it is Satan himself. Satan, their flesh and their human spirit, as according tothem, has no hope for salvation for flesh and blood can never inherit the Kingdom of God,therefore, it follows that it can have the full liberty and the license to commit any sin withoutremorse. Their logic goes to say that anyway it's the soul only that‟s saved, so the flesh can doanything it wants to since it will only be later destroyed by atomic fires. So, what‟s the use oftaming such flesh?Here Don Parnell uses his favorite "car" typology as an excuse for such doctrine. He says thatyour body is like the car. And when such car goes to the junkshop (or grave),the driver (soul) does not go with it in the junkshop. So, you can use yourcar in any way youwant to without hurting its driver. I can see why so many ignorant preachers easily fall for thisdoctrine today. They want that license, that convenience to live in debauchery without remorse.It‟s nothing but a poor version of the Baptist's teaching on "eternal security" that says"oncesaved, always saved" even without bearing any fruits of repentance and holiness.ROMANS 12:1-2 states, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that yepresent your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is]your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by therenewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, willof God."To say that the body is not included in God's sanctification is very contrary to what 1Thessalonians 5:23 tells us: “ And the very God of peace SANCTIFY youWHOLLY; and [Ipray God] your whole SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY bepreserved BLAMELESS unto thecoming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”BE WARY OF SUCH TEACHINGSRev. William Branham, the messenger of this age, cautioned us about false teaching. "Nomatter how sincere, how educated, how smart, how true it sounds, how reasonableit sounds, if it's contrary to the Word of this hour, God will have nothing to do withit."(Quote from ANOINTED ONES AT END TIME JEFF.IN V-5 N-3 65-0725M)I JOHN 4:1, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are ofGod. because many false prophets are gone out into the world. "William Branham, God's prophet to this age, was once asked to write a new Bible or an addedversion like a Third Testament but refused to do. He knew better that it would be a CURSE to doso. He never consented to adding a Third Testament to the Bible. Here's the transcript of suchdiscussion:THE.UNVEILING.OF.GOD JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 SUNDAY 64-0614M ----

Now, someone has been, many has been saying to me, and theologians said, "Brother Branham, if the LordGod." Said, "If--if with your experience that the Lord has given you for His people," humbly saying this, said,"you'd be eligible to write a--a Bible yourself, your Word that God has manifested."I said, "That might be true." See, he was trying to catch me. See? And I said, "But, you see, I couldn't do that."He said, "Why couldn't? You have all the qualifications."I said, "But, you look, one word cannot be added or taken away." See?And he said, "Well then, them seven thunders (You see?)," said, "wouldn't them seven thunders blasting out, won'tthat be a revelation be give to some man?"I said, "No, sir, it would be adding something to It or taking something from It." It's all revealed in there, andthe seven seals opened up the revelation of what that was. ---------------------------------------But let us look at the Bible, which is our absolute, if the above Parnellite teachingsare really scriptural or not. We will also look at the Message-of-the-Hour, which isthe perfect interpretation of the Bible today, if these clamors are indeed true or not.A. WHAT THE MESSAGE TEACH ABOUT THE TRUE “RAPTURE” -----------Point Number 1 - Brother Branham taught us that when the Rapture takes place,there will be an “ABSENCE OF PEOPLE”, “MISSING”, “DISAPPEARING HEREAND THERE”, which obviously is not true with these Parnellites' claims. They teach that theyhave been raptured but you can still see them walking around in mortal bodies. They are justsimply faking it.Quotes:"See, how do you know the RAPTURE's not going on all the time? First thing you know it'll bepast, ONE DISAPPEARING HERE, and THERE. It'll be gone the first thing you know, andyou'll--judgment will strike the world."(GOD.HIDING.HIMSELF.IN.SIMPLICITY.title ALBQ.NM 63-0412E)"But when He comes this time, hardly none but those who are ready will know when He comes.There'll just be an ABSENCE of PEOPLE. They won't know what happened to them. They'lljust be CAUGHT AWAY in a moment. And that. They'll just come upMISSING, changed in amoment in a twinkling of an eye. So just be ready for that. It'd be horrible some morning to missa loved one, no one can find them. Wouldn't it be too bad to know it's done past and you missedit? So just keep before God."BROKEN.CISTERNS.title JEFF.IN V-5 N-13 64-0726EAnd so, it was made clear by the prophet of God that the Rapture consists of an "absence ofpeople", "missing", "disappearing here and there". When somebody tells you that they have beenraptured and yet you can still see them around, they're telling you a lie.

Point Number 2 - Brother Branham taught that the Bride will have a "PhysicalBody Change" when the true Rapture takes place:Quotes:“One of these days, the old fashion gospel that you hear, will be silenced one of these days. Andthe church will receive a body, glorified. You'll have to have that kind of body to goup and meet Him in the air. We can't go in this kind of a body.” (ABRAHAM'S.COVENANT.CONFIRMEDMIDDLETOWN.OH SATURDAY 61-0318)“We got to have a changed body to meet in the air, the rapture. That's the next thingfor the children of Abraham. The trumpet shall sound, the next thing. The real children ofAbraham shall be changed, this body made light and we'll go rightup." ” (ABRAHAM.AND.HIS.SEED.AFTER.HIM BLOOMINGTON.IL SUNDAY 61-0416)"Just before the fire fell. Now, oh, to you people, here's the great promise. Look, when Hegive him that sign, what was He doing? He was preparing now. Immediately after that whatdid He do? He prepared Abraham and Sarah to receive the oncoming son that waspromised. What did He do? He changed Sarah and Abraham from a old man and oldwoman back to a young man and young woman.” FAITHFUL.ABRAHAM RICHMOND.VA SUNDAY 61-0312“Jesus, being the Keystone now, He bear record. See, He was the Keystone between the Oldand New Testament, 'cause He had to first die and then rapture. He died, come to life,and walked around here with us, and then was raptured up; because He was theKeystone that tied the two together. After Hisresurrection and rapture (Look.),after He did that and proved that the Old Testament there. We all know Enoch wastranslated. We know Elijah was taken up by a whirlwind (That right?) in a chariotof fire. And Jesus died, buried, rose up, and lived here on earth, and thenwas raptured up, the Keystone. There's three to bear record. Is that right?” RAPTURE.THEYUMA.AZ V-5 N-14 SATURDAY 65-1204And so, as Enoch, Elijah and Jesus were physically raptured, we will have our ownphysical rapture or "body change" one of these days, before the fire falls.Point Number 3 - Our Theophany will come down from heaven during the oncoming Physical Rapture. It did not come down in 1963; not yet.When the seals were opened in 1963 and the Bride recognized the Message-of-theHour, we truly have HEARD from our Theophany, yes.Yet Brother Branham did not say that the theophany went down inside of you whenyou recognized the Revealed Word. He said that during the physical Rapture of the Bride,that's the only time whereby your theophany will come down from the sixth dimension to meetyour redeemed body in a physical rapture. Then,your mortal body plus your theophanybody will turn into a glorified body in a twinkling of an eye. This type of glorified"body" is one that can appear and disappear, can pass through walls like Jesus' body did afterHis resurrection, can travel like a thought, will no more hunger, thirst, age or die. "We have

not yet the bodies" the prophet said. We by-passed our theophanies and were bornsinners. Here are some Quotes to support this:"But you by-passed the theophany and become flesh-man, to be tempted by sin. And then,"If this earthly tabernacle is dissolved, we have one already waiting." ***We have not yet thebodies.***" (WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 SUNDAY 65-0221E)"Then after you recognize the very Word of God was Eagle Food, then you left the otherthing. You've then been formed into the living image of the living God. YouHEARD fromyour THEOPHANY. "If this earthly body be dissolved, we have onewaiting." (WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC.title JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 65-0221E)"The theophany comes to the earth to pick up the redeemed body. And if you'rehere in the air, you take the body to meet the theophany (there you are), and caughtup and go to meet the Lord in the air." (WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC title JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 65-0221E)“Now, you bypassed that, because in that form He knowed all things. And you havenever been able to know that yet. You come like Adam, like me.You became from theattribute to the flesh to be tempted. But when this life is finished here. "If this earthlytabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting." That's where we go; that is the Word.Then we can look back and see what we done. Now, we don't understand it. We have neverbecome the Word; we've just become the flesh-man, not the Word. But. And lookclearly, makes it clear you will never be the Word unless you was a thought at the beginning.That proves the predestination of God. See? You can't be the Word 'less you're a thought. Youhad to be in the thinking first. But you see, in order to stand temptation you had tobypass the theophany; you had to come down here in flesh to be tempted bysin.”(WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 SUNDAY 65-0221E)Though it may be true that we have a single quote that says that "your soul is yourtheophany" of which Don Parnell is using as a foundation for his teachings, but that conceptwas applied by Brother Branham to a soul's estate before the fall of man, (Genesis1:26), when man was still sinless and perfect - that soul indeed is your theophany.Quote: "But your souls were made up before the foundation of the world when Godcreated man in His Own image: spirit of man; not a man in His Own image, but man inHis Own image. See? And then He made them male and female before He ever had a man in thedust of the earth.” (DEMONOLOGY.PHYSICAL.REALM CONNERSVILLE.IN 53-0608A)BUT when we fell from grace through Adam and Eve's unbelief, "that soul wasmarred" and it had to wait for the "body change" before it can possessback thetheophany. That's why the prophet said we "by-passed our theophany", meaning, it wasleft behind in heaven for a while when we were born sinners in this world. But wewill be meeting our theophany again in the air during rapture time, after we havebeen born-again, and that will be the real "body change". But we have not theglorified bodies yet. We still have to wait for the physical corporal coming of Jesus tocome back, and thenwe shall be LIKE HIM, for we shall see Him as He is (with animmortal body, not just a ghost or spirit).Quote:

“But then when that BODY, a kind of a celestial BODY, when it returns back to theearth, it picks up the SUBSTANCE that it once lived in and then, it becomes aGLORIFIED BODY. That body is the ONE that we'll see the Lord Jesus in Hisresurrected body.” (HEAR.HIS.VOICE.title JEFF.IN 58-1005M)Theophany in itself is incomplete. It needs a physical body just like Adam in theGarden of Eden to be considered as truly “glorified”. Adam and Jesus knew allthings when they were in that glorified, immortal body. Don Parnell nor any of hisfollowers who claim to have their theophany right now does not know all things yet. Therefore,such claim is false and is a mere deception.A theophany body is just a celestial body that doesn't eat, drink, shake hands, notuntil after it merges with the physical redeemed body can it fully be "glorified". Wewill be living in a literal land with Jesus in our literal physical glorified body to spend 1,000years of reign in a literal Millennium of 1000 years -not as ghosts or spirits, but as

glorified flesh. Brother Branham was looking for such a glorified "physical" body and he did notbelieve that he would look like a spirit or aghost in that theophany body.Quote: “I thought, "Man, I hope I live to see Him coming. I don't want to be a spook or aspirit." See? (I was always afraid of a spirit.) And I. You know, that kind of a. I alwaysthought, like if I'd meet Brother Neville and he'd be a little white cloud movingaround, you know, and I'd say, "Hello, Brother Neville."And he'd say, "Hello, Brother Branham," by some other sense; he couldn't talk. But I'd justknow that it was Brother Neville. He. I'd want to shake his hand like I always do, 'causethat's all I know is human beings. See, I'd want to shake his hand, but he ain't got nohand. It's down there in the grave rotted away. See?I thought, "My, I hope I don't have to go through that." Now, I wasn't. Now, I'm goingto tell you the truth. I--I was afraid to die, not afraid I'd be lost, but I didn't want to be aspirit. I wanted to just remain a man. I wanted to wait for the rapture. See? I justwanted to stay like that. I didn't want to be no spirit, go around.” THE.FIFTH.SEAL JEFF.IN FRIDAY 63-0322Point Number 4 - Brother Branham was still looking for theRapture even after1963 till 1965 just before his death, contrary to Don Parnell’s teaching that theRapture took place already in Feb 28, 1963.In the following quotations presented below, Brother Branham said that he was stilllooking for a Rapture even in the year 1965 just before his death. It's either that DonParnell is preaching it wrong or he is making a fool out of the Bride and out of God's trueprophet messenger. The Rapture is a revelation indeed to the Bride that there will be a physical"Body Change" for her soon. It's Brother Branham's words VERSUS Don Parnell's teachings andhis Third Coming proselytes.Here's what Brother Branham preached about the coming Rapture (Look atthe DATES):December 4, 1965 - (RAPTURE.THE YUMA.AZ SATURDAY 65-1204)"Now, we're ready, waiting for the raptures of--the rapture of the saints. It's beenspoken and so shall it be."August 23, 1964 - (QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS JEFF.IN COD 64-0823M)"Jesus said, "When the Son of man shall appear," why, said, "it'd be like the Light that shinesfrom the east even into the west." The whole thing, there'll be a resurrection, a rapture,and away it'll go. And before it ever go up to meet Him. By faith I believe it in His grace, thatwe will be
