At the start of the tape, Brother Branham said there were two things that he missed. What were they?

• The cool weather and scenery

• His home and the valley

• His friends here and the church

• None of the Above

Answer explanation

8 Kind of bad, I thought, to come back, but there is one great thing, two things mainly that we missed, that there is no other place can take its place. One thing, our friends here, and the church. No matter where we go, we find friends, and we’re grateful for our friends. But there is something about those friends who has stuck with you through the thick and thin, that there is no way to substitute them friends. No matter what any other friend could be, there is no way to substitute a friend like that. You’re just squeezed into them, you’re one. And we, together, looking for the Coming of the Lord, as the days go on. And it’s kind of hard to try to think that you could…You cannot be separated.

Why did Brother Branham say he had to come back about the fifteenth of August?

• That’s when he would have vacation with his family

• That’s when squirrel season comes in

• He was having another meeting around that time

• He was taking care of some business with the church

Answer explanation

17 And I suppose then, about that time, I’ll have to hurry the children off to Arizona again to be in…to get them in school out there. Because, Charlie, I have to be here about the fifteenth of August. So I—I want to be back by that time, the Lord willing, down in Kentucky. Everybody laughing, maybe some of the newcomers wouldn’t know what that meant. And just kind of hope it don’t sound bad from the platform, but that’s when squirrel season comes in. So, Mama Cox, I’m depending on that, you see, so for a couple weeks down there for my vacation.

God will judge the world someday by the churches.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

20 I believe that God will judge the world someday by the Bible. Now if they are…He is going to judge the world. And if there isn’t a standard to judge by, how will the people know what to do? See? It would be God…You could not pin unjustice to—to God. And God has got to have something for His standard, that He judges the people by. Therefore if He judges it by the Roman Catholic church, then the Greek church, the Orthodox Catholic, and many of those, are certainly lost, and all the rest of the world. If He judges it by the Greek Orthodox Catholic church, and not by the Roman church, then the other…Then the Roman church and all the rest is lost. If He judges it by the Lutheran church, then the Presbyterians is gone. If He judged it by the Presbyterians, the Lutherans and Baptists is gone. See? So if He judges it by the Pentecostals, then all besides Pentecostals is gone.
21 But He’ll not judge it by any church, to my opinion, because there is too much differences and too much confusion. But He’ll judge it, the Bible says, “He’ll judge the world by Jesus Christ.” Now, that’s Scriptural. Now…And the Bible said, that, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” “The same yesterday, today, and forever.” So, He is the Word, and This is Christ in letter form.

God had commanded Moses to lead the people to the promised land. Who was it that decided to interfere with that commission, saying, “You take it upon yourself to do too much. You, try to make yourself the only one in the bunch that—that’s got any say-so”?

• Joshua and Caleb

• Aaron and Miriam

• Dathan and Korah

• Gershom and Eleazar

Answer explanation

38 Of this time that we’re speaking of, or reading, of course, we all understand that it was when Dathan and—and—and Korah had decided that—that they would interfere with the—the commission that God had give to Moses, saying, “You ought to let the whole congregation do such-and-such. They’re all holy.” And God had commanded Moses to lead the people to the promised land. And they said, “You take it upon yourself to do too much. You, try to make yourself the only one in the bunch that—that’s got any say-so.”

There will be some in the last days that won’t have to taste death, but will be changed in a moment, a twinkling of an eye.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

78 All those honest and true Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, and whoever is born of the Spirit of God, will be caught away with Jesus Christ when He comes. I believe that. I different with some of our Pentecostal brethren who believe that the remnant of the church is those who will be caught away in this last age. I different there, because God…How could a man, and how could God…If we would say, “How could He?” He can do what He wishes to. But God, who promised Luther, and under justification, that’s all they knowed. See? He promised to take the Church. And He…I can, believe by the grace of God, and by the Scriptures, support it. Because, He didn’t come in the first watch, and they went to sleep; and the second watch; on down. In the seventh watch, He come. And that’s the Seventh Church Age, at the seventh angel’s Message. See? And when He come, all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. See? Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, whoever that’s born of the Spirit of God, shall go in that Rapture. I believe that the Bride will be called out during that time. I believe there will be some in the last days won’t have to taste death, but will be changed in a moment, a twinkling of an eye.

In what form did the seven Angels swoop down and pick up Brother Branham when he was north of Tucson?

• A diamond

• A pyramid

• A square

• A beam of light

Answer explanation

80 Well, it happens to be that at least one man is present this morning who was standing there when it happened. It actually shook the rocks off of the mountain. And now they…We find out that, during that time, I saw seven Angels in a—in a form of a pyramid, that swept down and picked me up. And I was brought East, to open the Seven Seals for God. If you haven’t got them…If Jesus tarries, and I…my great-grandchildren, little Paul’s children, that will still be the Eternal Truth of the living God. Now, that was to find out, that was sealed inside this mountain, that wasn’t wrote. It had to be interpreted. And when I come back, the first Angel, on the first night, opened the Seal contrary to anything we ever heard in our life. And all seven come out the same way. You know that. You were here present when it happened, many of you.

Where was Brother Branham when the Sword of the Lord dropped in his hand while he was praying with his hands out to God?

• Hurricane Mountain

• Corral Peaks

• Sabino Canyon

• Sunset Mountain

Answer explanation

89 Then in Sabino Canyon that morning, praying and wondering what would happen, holding my hands out to God, up on top of that mountain, that Sword dropped into my hand; with a pearl handle, and its guard over it, and a long blade about three foot long, and glisten like pot metal or like chrome, razor sharp. And I didn’t know what it was. And I said, “I’m afraid of these things.”
90 And just then a Voice spoke, that shook the canyon. Said, “This is the Sword of the Lord.” And the Sword of the Lord is the Word of the Lord, for the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword.

When Brother Roy asked about a Cloud being on a mountain, on which tape did Brother Branham say he preached about it?

• The Seventh Seal

• Sirs, We Would See Jesus

• Hear Ye Him

• Come, Follow Me

Answer explanation

93 One night the Lord woke him up, one morning. We were setting, he and I, looked like in Jerusalem at the Lord’s Communion table, and I was talking. He couldn’t understand it. And Brother Roy, setting present, looking at me right now, and he saw it. And he called me up, in Houston…or out in Arizona, or sent me a letter and I called him back. He said, “You were setting there, Brother Branham, and I saw that big Pillar of Light come in and get you, and take you away from the Lord’s table, and you went westward.” Cause he was setting on the east side watching me go west, and this Light come in and taken me out.
94 Said it was one morning, like it was a vision. Got up in the bed, about three or four o’clock in the morning, something like that, and saw this happen. And said he screamed, look like, for days, “Brother Bill, come back!” And Roy and I have been real brothers. We live together, and hunt together, and we’re just brothers. And he—he screamed for me, till he was hoarse in his throat, “Come back! Bring him back! Bring him back,” crying. He said I…Here come that Pillar of Fire coming back, or a Cloud come back, and He set me at the head of the table, and I had been changed. It was a mystery to Brother Roy, me being changed, to look different. I lay this up here for something I want to remember, “being changed,” when I give him the interpretation of it.
95 That was just before I come back for the Seven Seals. When I come back for the Seven Seals, then I…One morning he got a hold of Billy, and he wanted to talk to me. And I was busy, under prayer for the Seven Seals. And then he told me of…It happened again, and repeated it again. Brother Roy, if I get this wrong, you—you call my attention. And he said he—he got up again, in the—in the morning, I guess early again, in the morning. And there he looked in the room and he saw this big Light, or a Cloud up on a mountain. He asked me, not long ago, “Was there something about a Cloud being on a mountain,” and I said…“in the Bible?”
96 And I said, “Yes, when Peter, James, and John was took up, and the Cloud overshadowed the Lord Jesus. And—and God spoke, said, ‘This is my beloved Son.’” I preached on that here, not long ago. A little message, the tape brethren might understand, Hear Ye Him. I suppose maybe you have it on tape. I’m sure.
97 And he said that he went up the mountain. And when he did, I was standing there. And a Voice came from the Cloud, (Wasn’t it, Brother Roy?) and said something on this order, “This is My servant. And I’ve called him to be a prophet to the age, to lead the people just as Moses did. And he’s been given the authority, he could speak into existence.” Or something like that, like Moses did, like speaking in the flies. And we know about the squirrels, and so forth, and things that’s already took place. Little Hattie Wright back there, I suppose you know what taken place in her house. And He told him that I had done what Moses had done.
