Fifth Seal – Bro Branham 1963_03_22 Little Season
Rev 6: 9 when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, & for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants (Prophets) also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
343-4 when we get to the Fifth Seal, there’s no beast. Now, just notice. And when he (Jesus) had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar. (See?), – there’s no beast there, and a strong beast represents power. There’s no living creature. Notice, when we come to this Fifth Seal now, there’s no rider goes forth, and there’s no beast to announce it.
KEY The Lamb opened it, and John saw it. There was no one there to say, “Now, come, look; come, see.” Notice, no power of the living creature. On the Sixth Seal & On the Seventh Seal there’s no beast to announce it After the Fourth Seal, there’s no announcement by any beast power from the Fifth, Sixth, or Seventh Seal, not at all. According to the revelation that the Lord Jesus gave me today The mystery of the church ages are already finished at this time

As in the times of the rider of the four horses, the rider, singular, of the four different horses, there was a beast that announced the power. Every-time the rider straddled another horse and come forth to ride, another kind of a beast come out and announced it. That’s a great mystery. See? That is the mystery… Why? Announcing the mystery. Why isn’t there one here on the Fifth Seal to announce it? Here it is. According to the revelation that the Lord Jesus gave me today (See?), or this morning, early; that is that the mystery of the church ages are already finished at this time. The mystery of the antichrist is revealed at this time. The antichrist took his last ride, and we found him on the pale horse mixed with his many colors, and rides all the way into perdition. (We get it on the trumpets and so forth when we–we teach that. I go into it now, but we get plumb off the subject again.)
361 Notice, the Fifth Seal being opened, the Church is gone. It just can’t be the souls of the early church. The votes that the Nazis received in the 1932 elections established the Nazi Party as the largest parliamentary faction of the Weimar Republic government. Hitler was appointed as Chancellor of Germany on 30 January 1933 – (1939 = 6yrs)
* 363-1 Notice now, They were given robes. They didn’t have them. They were given robes, each of them. Now, the Bride saints already have theirs and gone on they had not a chance because they were blinded by God, so that the grace of God could be fulfilled so the Bride could be took from the Gentiles. Is that right?
364-3 Did you know Martin Luther kinda had that same idea, too? It’s the truth. He said, “All Jews should be taken out.
* 365– These now, souls under the altar for the Word of God and the testimony they held for being God’s people, the Jews. The grace of God comes to them, and Jesus gives them each one a white robe plumb over after the Church is gone, They were blinded, John looks over and sees souls under the altar. He sees those souls. They cry, Lord, how long? Watch.

361-4 {218} 093 Now, for they at this time, if you notice, this Fifth Seal being opened (See?), the Church is gone. It just can’t be the souls under–the–the early church. Now, now, please, if you ever did give this attention now, ’cause this is a great controversy, so I want you to listen real close now. And you’ve got your papers and things to write with. Now, I want you to notice. Now, these cannot be them souls, because the–the souls of the–of the righteous martyred and the righteous people, the Church, the Bride, has done been took up; so they wouldn’t be under the altar. They’d be in glory with the Bride. Now, watch. For they are gone in the rapture in the 4th chapter of Revelations; they was taken up. Now, who are these souls then? See? That’s the next thing. Who are they then, if they are not the early church? This is Israel that’s to be saved as a nation, all them that are predestinated. That’s Israel. That’s Israel itself. You say, “Oh, wait a minute.” You say, “They can’t…”

362-2 {222} 094 Oh, yes, they are to be saved. Here, let’s settle it, just a minute. I got four or five Scriptures. I’ll take one. Let’s take Romans, just a minute, and find out if they are. Let’s take the Book of Romans and go to the–the 11th chapter of Romans, and we’ll find out just… Let’s just read it and then we’ll have it by ourself: Romans the 11th chapter, the 25th and 26th verse. Now, listen at Paul here. And Paul said, if anyone else, even a Angel preached any other gospel, what he was to be? Cursed. Watch. For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of the mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits;… (There you are.)… the blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulfilling–fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

362-3 {225} 095 The last Gentile Bride be brought in for the Bride, the blindness come to Israel for that purpose. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion a Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness for Jacob: Right? Now, they are Israel that’s under this altar. Watch. Israel was blinded for the very purpose of us being saved. You believe that? Now, who blinded them? God. God blinded His own children. He said, “Nother can I–neither can I ever forget Israel.” No, sir. He ain’t going to forget her. He had to blind His own child. Now, think of that: blind His own child to give us a chance, and we turn it down. Now, don’t that make you feel about so little that you could crawl under a concrete block with a ten gallon hat on and never touch it. That’s pretty small, you know. Oh, my.

365-3 {251} 103 Yes, they held for the Word of God. They were Jews. They had their law, they stayed with it. You remember last night now? They stayed with that. And they were Jews, and had the law, and the Law was the Word of God. They stayed right by it. That’s right. And for the testimony they held, they were martyred, and here was souls under the altar, after the Church had been gone.
