SERMON NOTES
——————————————————————————————-
Shalom, shalom saints. We would like to greet you once again this wonderful Sunday in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, trusting we’re all happy to be back in the house of the Lord and that we are all under expectation to hear from above, to be directed from on high, to be established upon the present will of the Lord.
——————————————————————————————-
We would like to appreciate the atmosphere that has been created by the musicians. There are so many promises that you can hold upon this Sunday and say, “Lord, at Thy Word; let it be done unto me according to Your Word”.
“Whatever that I do Lord, I live for You, Lord. May You remember me this Sunday. May You change my perspective, may You encourage my soul that I may stand right where I belong as the Bride of Christ without spot or wrinkle, not by might, or by power, but through the Atonement, by that sinless, spotless Lamb of God Who said, “It’s finished!” upon the cross of Calvary.
Praise be to God. Now, though our circumstances are not favourable, God has made it possible that we can fellowship in this fashion and I trust that you are being encouraged with Word and the music and that you are growing in your understanding of the Message, and you are also growing to recognise the value of the fellowship, the brothers and sisters that God has given you because sometimes you don’t realise the importance of what you have until you lose it. God has blessed us to be a family even upon this earthly pilgrimage.
——————————————————————————————-
I trust that you were blessed on Friday when we were preaching about THE SCRAMBLE FOR MARS under SPACE EXPLORATION IN AN HOUR OF A GLOBAL SIEGE.
Definitely, if you are listening to me now and you have not listened to Friday’s message, after this one, you must go back and listen to it so that you can really understand where we’re coming from.
When Paul met the Light on his way to Damascus, he alone heard the Voice that spoke saying, “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” (Acts 22:7-9). It was Paul alone who heard and understood the communication for he was the one chosen and elected to hear It.
In August 2020, God has a Word to be fulfilled and He’s looking for men and women that are conscious that He’s looking to them to accomplish something for Him. Idleness is the devil’s workshop and, knowing that the days are evil, we must redeem the time in this our designated and decreed season. We must do exploits for we’re the children of God’s direct Descendant (Christ, the last Adam).
You are the final voice to this final Age. You are the Bride of Christ, a super Church, a super Race, a Powerhouse, sons and daughters of God in this season.
This is not motivational speaking. These are undeniable realities because we have not believed cunningly devised fables, but the true living Word of God.
Brother, as we look around, we’re seeing a lot of things happening. That’s why I’m zeroing down on this Space programme which has an influence in the spirit world. Man is not satisfied with living in low space orbit. He wants to explore the galaxies. He’s tired of earthly neighbours, he wants celestial neighbours.
Our example is William Branham who was given an astronaut ride and had a view from the other side, the dimension of the order of Melchisedec. Like Joshua and Caleb, he came back and reported that the Land is there, where there is no growing old or dying, and nothing short of perfect Love shall enter there.
——————————————————————————————-
So, today I’ll be preaching on ANOTHER SPUTNIK MOMENT & THE SCRAMBLE FOR MARS: SPACE EXPLORATION IN AN HOUR OF A GLOBAL SIEGE. I explained to you what a sputnik is and we want to go a little bit deeper. I preached on the series of Daniel in 2019 and I’m sure we left it on Daniel 7. But if I may take you back, PART 41 was THE INTRODUCTION TO DANIEL CHAPTER 5: SECURITY AND SENSUALITY ARE SAD PRESAGES OF APPROACHING RUIN. PART 42 was the same subject, but when you come to PART 43, I was now preaching on THE FALL OF THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE and I was preaching specifically on THE ANGEL WITH THE SEVENTH VIAL. We traced him from Genesis to Revelation and we saw that it was William Marrion Branham.
PART 44 was THE FALL OF THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE: THE MESSAGE OF THE HOUR IS NOT A COINCIDENTAL HAPPENING. PART 45, we were under the same heading with the subheading I JESUS HAVE SENT YOU MINE ANGEL. PART 46, I preached on THE VIALS FOLLOW REJECTION OF THE SEVEN SEALS.
——————————————————————————————-
Now, if you are a serious believer, you will go through those sermons because they carry a lot of substance that will assist you to understand the present season that we are living in.
——————————————————————————————-
SUMMARY OF DANIEL 5
——————————————————————————————-
We know that Babylon began in Genesis under Nimrod, a descendant of Ham, when they had a space programme. Nimrod had ambitions that were similar to Lucifer’s five “I will’s” of Isaiah 14:12-14. He wanted to by-pass spiritual protocols and build a tower to reach heaven. Babylon means “the gates of paradise” or “gates of heaven”. Alternatively, Babylon means “confusion”.
We find Babylon in the midst of the Bible with Nebuchadnezzar and, in our day, as mystery Babylon, that is, the Roman empire, now papal Rome (Revelation 17 and 18). It’s hidden, that’s why it’s called Mystery Babylon.
As I read, I want you to bear in mind the things that are happening here. This is Belshazzar, a man that saw Nebuchadnezzar humbled by God. I preached on a message DEFORMATION INTO ANOTHER SPECIES (DANIEL SERIES – PART 35), where I was showing you how Nebuchadnezzar was put into amnesia and became a beast because of pride.
Daniel 5:1-2 ~ While they were partying, they thought they had security because of their trained soldiers and their reputation as a great city, but security and sensuality are the sad presages of approaching ruin. When you get happy, you must have limits. Do not play with God, He is not your cousin, uncle, brother or sister. He demands respect.
Belshazzar drank wine in the sacred vessels of God and these vessels are a type of the Bride. When they try to touch that Bride, they are attracting the wrath of God. The Bride will not go through the tribulation, but right now, they are being tempted to touch the Bride, the vessels of God.
I preached on THE IMPORTANCE OF A PRAYER OF FAITH IN A DYNAMIC WORLD OF SIN. The change of laws today has nothing to do with the world. The target is the Bride, the target is Elijah. It’s a planned move with a calculated outcome.
——————————————————————————————-
Daniel 5:3-6 ~ Verse 6 is where I want us to focus on, a person that is in panic and doesn’t know what to do. My subject is ANOTHER SPUTNIK MOMENT & THE SCRAMBLE FOR MARS: SPACE EXPLORATION IN AN HOUR OF A GLOBAL SIEGE. Now, when you talk of another sputnik moment, “sputnik” is a Russian word which means “a fellow companion” or “travelling companion”. This is what happened on the 4th of October 1957 when Russia (then the USSR) launched the first satellite ever in orbit, the sputnik.
This happened in a time when the Americans were relaxed, in the aftermath of the Second World War, when the United States was the leading super power with great inventions such as automobiles and the television. The USSR was despised, but at such a time, they inaugurated space exploration with the launch of the sputnik, which was moving at the speed of about 1800km/hr around the globe, causing the Americans to enter into panic and form NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and this marked the beginning of the Space Age Race.
It was at this time in 1957 that Brother Branham came to preach THE HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL.
——————————————————————————————-
57-1211 – SIRS, WE WOULD SEE JESUS
Do you know before the—we close I got a message that I had here not long ago in California on “The Handwriting On The Wall,” and about the modern sputnik, if it’s in the Bible, and so forth, and what it means to this generation in the hour that we’re living. And I trust that the Lord will let me speak on that before going and leaving the meeting.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
He was showing that the sputnik had significance in the hour they were living in.
——————————————————————————————-
57-1208 – I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK
10 It was upon my heart a few days ago, as I told Brother Neville, or sent word to him, by our Sister Wood, that I was going to speak this morning upon The Handwriting On The Wall. It was a message the Lord gave me on a train, coming back from California. But in the message, it was so stirring, and such a hour, until, leaving the people, finding the great things, even to this modern sputnik that you hear so much about, is revealed in God’s Word. And to see the hour that we’re living, we are surely at the end.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
America was in fear and anxiety because of that sputnik. I’m going to show you 1957 and 2020 because I always wondered why Brother Branham said America received its final chance and crossed the line in 1957. In Daniel, it was the handwriting on the wall and in Branham’s time, the handwriting was in the sky. He typed America as Babylon under Belshazzar and Russia as Medo-Persia.
Let me put a bit of authority to the things that I’m speaking about. We’ve seen that on 11 August 2020, Russia introduced their coronavirus vaccine, Sputnik V. That’s why I’m preaching ANOTHER SPUTNIK MOMENT. Russia is trying to remind the world who is the boss. Remember, “Watch Russia, king of the north”. Russia is part of prophecy. It is the arm of God that will bring judgment upon Ahab and Jezebel (America and Rome). America and the Vatican are going to be judged by Russia.
Watch this parallel:
In 1957, there was the Asian flu which claimed about two million lives and missionaries could not go out; in 2020, we have the coronavirus.
In 1957, there were white men protests in America which spread world-wide as whites demonstrated for segregation from blacks in schools and all public facilities: in 2020, we saw the black lives matter protests.
In 1957, the sputnik triggered the space age race; and recently, in 2020, China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the USA sent rockets on unmanned missions to Mars. That’s why we are preaching THE SCRAMBLE FOR MARS.
——————————————————————————————-
09 – THE LAODICEAN CHURCH AGE
The revival is over. America had her last chance in 1957.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
Take note of that, brother!
——————————————————————————————-
64-0726M – RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE
81 What time is it, brother? What time is it, minister? Do you see the time of the day, and the sign you’re living under? Can you understand it? Do you see it?
82 Everywhere now, there’s no revival. Everybody is complaining, ministers crying. I was reading one of the—the outstanding papers that comes here to the church, a very fine paper. And I know the editor, and I know the people. And they are godly people, very fine, Brother and Sister Moore, of the Herald of His Coming. One of the finest papers on the field, Herald of His Coming. But they hardly will print anything unless it’s about, “Fast, pray! Fast, pray! Sound a trumpet! Get…” How many reads it? You know. You see it all the time, “Fast, pray! Fast, pray!” It’s all you hear. “Fast, pray! We’re going to have a great breaking of the day! There is a great thing going to happen! All of you, pray, pray, pray! We’re not too late yet!”
83 Why do they do that? Why do they do that? They want a great awakening. They’re crying, believing that there will be awakening. They’re good people. Why is it? What have they done? They have not recognized the awakening of the Bride. See? By being a Christian, they feel the pull of the hour, but they haven’t recognized what’s been done.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
In 1957, there was a Prophet, but they failed to recognise it. In 2020, there’s a Bride, and they fail to recognise it.
——————————————————————————————-
64-0726M – RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE
That’s what’s making them feel that way. They know something is supposed to happen, but, see, they’re looking for it way off in the future, to come, when it’s already happened right by you.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
Brother, the answer is not on Mars. They are saying in 2050 they will have a civilisation on Mars. They are putting it far away, but here in 2020, we have a people under the Master Astronaut, spiritual scientists that have a Prophet of true Space Exploration.
We are the people that have the solutions that the prudent minds are looking for. If Elon Musk and all these scientist can sit back and look clearly, there is a small group that has the solution that they are looking for.
William Branham was the man to look to in 1957 when America got its last chance. In 2020, there is an awakening of the Bride with the right countdown: one up to seven, from Ephesus to Laodicea, NOT ten down to zero (backwards) which is the worldly, scientific countdown.
——————————————————————————————-
64-0726M – RECOGNIZING YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE
84 That’s the same thing they did in the old days. They was believing in a coming Messiah. They believed that there would be a forerunner come. But it was right on them, and they didn’t know it. They didn’t recognize it. They believed there would come a forerunner that would forerun the Messiah, and they cut his head off. And killed their Messiah, because it was prophesied that they would be blinded. Hosea said so.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
They have killed the Messenger, they have been indicted and the only thing left for this world is judgment.
——————————————————————————————-
58-0618 – HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
54 Well, if that could happen by morning, and the Church goes home before that happens, how close is the coming of the Lord? Oh, you’re going to call me a holy-roller anyhow. You might… I feel religious. Listen, the Lord could come at any minute. We’re at the junction, the signs and the wonders, the handwriting, a sputnik, flying saucers, everything, and the church cooling off. We’re at the end time.
55 What are you going to do about it, friend? Don’t listen to “this—be a fairy tale.”
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
It’s not a fairy tale that America, and this whole world, is judged. They rejected the Message and killed the Prophet, and in 2020, they have rejected the Bride.
——————————————————————————————-
58-0618 – HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
That comes from THUS SAITH THE LORD. Just in closing, I wish to say this. Don’t trust in scientists. Scientists come from the wrong side. They did in the beginning; they do yet. The smart and educated comes from the wrong side. It’s the humble in heart that comes from God’s side, not those who have Ph.D. I say they couldn’t be; I don’t say that. But the majority of them come from the other side with a social Gospel.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
Your future is not with the South African economy. Come back to the Word. Come back to divine leadership. I’m trying to show you that 2020 is a repeat performance of 1957. The Bride is standing in the shoes of the Prophet.
——————————————————————————————-
65-0815 – AND KNOWETH IT NOT
259 Said, “A voice shook the whole earth.” Said, “The earth shook, from under my feet.” And said, “After it quit shaking, I heard a voice.” And said, “Brother Branham, it was your voice,” said, “I knowed; there was something said that.” Said—said, “It said, ‘I’ll ride this trail once more!’”
260 And said, “I started looking up the rock, like this, and looked on, in a past the clouds. And way up there, standing on a rock that reached from the east to the west, in a pointed shape like that, like a pyramid, run back here to the east, and,” said, “there you were standing there, on a horse that I never seen anything like it in my life; great white horse, white mane hanging down.” And said, “You was dressed like an Indian chief, with all the things the Indians use.” Said, “He had a breastplate; them bangles on the arms, and all down around like that.” Said, “You had your hands up like that.” And said, “That horse standing there like a military horse, with a prance like this, walking,” me standing still. And said, “You pulled on the reins, went riding off towards the west.”
261 Said, “I looked down there, and there was a whole lot of scientists.” And the next morning…That was Saturday. On the next morning, I preached on scientists, you know, being of the devil. And said, “Scientists there were pouring things in tubes, and mixing it.” Said, “You stopped the horse, raised up your hands again and screamed, ‘I’ll ride this trail once more!’” And said, “The whole earth shook. Them people shook,” said, “looked up and looked at one another, like that, and looked up to you. They just shrugged their shoulders, went on with their scientific research.” And said, “You started going on towards the west.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
Here was the Prophet giving a prophetic Word and the scientists ignored him. Today, Elisha: the Bride, with a double portion of the Spirit of Elijah, is also speaking prophetically, but they continue shooting to Mars. They are trying to change dimensions without changing bodies, but we are telling them to be born again, they don’t want that. These are the things that are taking place around us, the world is in panic.
——————————————————————————————-
1 Thessalonians 5:1-7 ~ You see, “peace and safety”, that’s Belshazzar’s drunken feast and, while they do that, then sudden destruction comes upon them. I’ll expand more on this and show you how it marries with Daniel 5 and Luke 21.
Genesis 12:10 ~ I want you to see this and pay close attention: Abraham is driven into Egypt by famine.
Genesis 43:1-3 ~ These are brothers that had rejected their brother Joseph. The famine was coming to discipline them and send them to Egypt where Joseph was.
The Roman Catholic church calls itself the mother of all churches and indeed, it is, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth (Revelation 17:5).
The pope says, “We are brothers” to the protestants (or rather, once-protestant churches) and, “We must reunite because it’s a time of global famine”.
Rome is behind all this global siege. Scientists and politicians cannot see it, but the Bride, under her Prophet Messenger sees that it’s a well calculated global siege by the Vatican!
——————————————————————————————-
58-0309M – THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
118 And there he was, standing; so was Belteshazzar cause of it, letting his kingdom get in such a place.
119 And, today, in all this stuff that we’re going through, we thought we were fortified. We think, “We’re the best and greatest nation on earth. We’ve got all the science here.”
120 And little did Belteshazzar know, that he didn’t have all the scientists. There was a nation called the Medes-and-Persians. They had got some scientific work, too. Which is now the Medes-o-Persians, or the Indians, the Hindus in India; as our brother just spoke. They finally went, wound up in India, as the Hindu, Medes-o-Persians. And they had scientifically found a way that they could bypass the river Euphrates. They couldn’t get through the walls. But they bypassed the river, and was coming under the gates.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
Brother Branham is speaking about America and Russia, but I’m speaking about Rome and the world. They are trying to unite the world under the one world order.
——————————————————————————————-
58-0309M – THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
Science is working somewhere. A great, ungodly heathen nation at that time, and God put a sign on the wall, to let them know that their days were finished.
121 And God has put a sign on our wall and our great rock-and-roll party, and there’s a sputnik flying through the skies. Oh, we thought we had it all, didn’t we? We thought we knowed it all. But Russia, according to our own science, is five years ahead of us.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
Rome is five years ahead of every denomination. They are busy stealing people’s money and allowing women to preach, saying “Rome is powerless, we came out of it.” Listen, this time there is Another Sputnik Moment coming, not from Russia, or Vladimir Putin, but from heaven, God saying, “You have been weighed in the balances and art found wanting!”
This is the season where everything will be obliterated. The mark of the beast and the great tribulation are coming against the foolish virgins, unleashed by Rome.
——————————————————————————————-
58-0309M – THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
And when we’re caught up, in five years, they’ll be ten years farther the other way. God is letting a ungodly nation, letting an ungodly people that took those Jewish scientists up there, and they are far ahead of us. We’re putting our time to wine, women, and big time. And they’re working day and night, how to blow us up. There is not one thing that could keep them from doing it right now. Look, the condition we’re in, the whole nation.
122 You remember that army officer? Brother Roberson and I were talking yesterday. They interviewed him, one of the great scientists. Said, “I don’t want you to scare the people, but I want you to tell us the truth. Is there danger?” “At any minute it could happen.”
123 The only thing, we’re just bluffing one another. We started our little missile up, and it fizzled out, three foot off the ground. Now we put another one up, and it’s fizzling out. Why? We’ve poisoned our minds with cigarettes, with women, with whiskey, with big time, and it’s displeased the God of Heaven. And the Scripture predicts that Russia will do it. Where we at? We’re at the end. Every nation is scared to death. I believe that they could set a missile, right now, and destroy the whole nation. In one five-minute’s time, he would become nothing but powder, and back to the gases that you were in the beginning. They can do it.
124 Oh, we’ve had a rock-and-roll party. We’ve forgot God. We’ve went too much for television, too much for the world. And they have been preparing all the time, just like the Medes-o-Persians. And now the supernatural has come, and the handwriting is on the wall; not on the wall, but in the sky. And now we’re all shook up. Oh, yes. Our modern science are shook up. Our nation is shook up. It can happen before this service closes.
125 But I want you to notice another. I want you to remember that while they were still in that condition, under that drunken stew, there was a little queen. She hadn’t been at the rock-and-roll party. She must have been out reading Daniel’s prophecy. She wasn’t up indulging in their sin. And she come running in. When the king didn’t know what to do, she come running in. And she said, “Oh, king, live forever! I know you’re all shook up. You’re all bothered. And your pastor, and none of your counselors, your pope, and your cardinals, and your district men, and your superintendents, there is none of them can interpret it for you. But there is a man, there is a man in your kingdom, he knows the supernatural.”
126 Oh, blessed be His Name! Church, there is a Man in our midst, today. He can read the supernatural, and He can write the supernatural. There is a Man. Oh, I trust that you’ll meet Him. I trust that He’ll enter into your heart right now. He’ll speak to you women. He’ll speak to your…you men, and will let you see the condition you’ve got into. He’s the only One Who can read your condition.
127 I could preach till my voice would be no more. I could cry until the tears scalded streaks down my cheeks. It would do no good, because I’m just a man.
128 But there is a Man. His Name is Jesus. He can tell you what This means. Won’t you slip off and talk to Him just a little bit?
129 What’s the meaning of these sputniks in the skies? What’s the matter? What is this modern Babylon, that we’re trying to build a machine to take us to the moon? You’ll never make it. What’s it all about? Science don’t know. They’re in a mad rush for something, and they don’t know what it is.
130 But there is a Man. There is a Man Who knows what it’s all about. He was the One Who wrote it Here. He knows how to read this Word. Oh, He knows what It means, for He’s got THUS SAITH THE LORD. He promised it. “The works that I do shall you also. If they call Me, ‘Beelzebub,’ the prince of the house, how much more will they call His household!”
131 The handwriting is on the wall; the sputniks in the skies. “Great earthquakes everywhere; volcanos coming up; tidal waves a breaking the shores.” What is it? The handwriting. Not only in the skies, but on earth. “There will be signs in the heaven and on earth. Men’s heart failing.” “Oh, we don’t know what to do.”
132 “Perplexed of time; distress.” What is distress? Distress between the nations, all of them. Just let one missile fly, that does it. What is it?
133 “There is a man who can interpret it.” She went and got this man.
134 God give me strength this morning, God give me power; to bring that Man to your need today, bring Him to you. He’s the One can interpret your case. He’s the One can tell you where you made your mistake. He can. One can tell you where you left off. He’s the One who can tell you where to start.
135 And she went and got Daniel, God’s representative. And he walked up.
[REV. WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM]
——————————————————————————————-
Who is God’s representative on earth now? She shall be a Super Church, a Super Race. As the Word was in Mary, so shall It be in the Bride. She shall be the final Voice to this final Age!
What they need to call is God’s representative. We’re not here to make intellectual giants, but men and women, the Word written, interpreted, bringing a manifestation, people who can prove their pedigree.
The very same God Who was in William Marrion Branham is still here in His Bride, which alone can interpret the handwriting in the sky, Another Sputnik Moment!
