In Detail - Remeber Exodus 4:8 - STRESS on "VOICE" and NOT "SIGN" !!!!!

[kathiresan jeyapandian]

Exodus 4:8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

Remember the stress of GOD is on the voice of GOD rather than the sign....Sign is to confirm the Word...

Many today are with signs but without voice which is wrong.

Many today are stressing on signs without voice which is wrong.

"And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice" (Genesis 22:18)

Moses did nothing without hearing God's voice: "And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice" (Exodus 19:19). "And the Lord said unto Moses..." (Exodus 19:21). "And Moses said unto the Lord..."(Exodus 19:23). "And the Lord said unto him..." (Exodus 19:24). "And God spake..." (Exodus 20:1).

Samuel heard God's voice clearly. What he heard was so clear that "none of His words fell to the ground" (I Samuel 3:19). "...For the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to all Israel" (I Samuel 3:21-4:1). David heard God speak and he, in turn, spoke with God! God's voice was his joy and life. David said, "God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice..." (Psalm 60:6). "The spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue... the Rock of Israel spake to me..." (2 Samuel 23:2-3).

God spoke to Saul on the road to Damascus: "...Suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" (Acts 9:3-4). For the rest of his life, Paul testified, "I heard His voice." Before King Agrippa he said, "...I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue... And he said... Rise...for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose..." (Acts 26:14-16). Peter heard and obeyed the voice of God. In prayer, he heard God speak: "And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat. But I said, Not so, Lord... But the voice answered me again from heaven... And this was done three times..."(Acts 11:7-10).

Below are extracts points from above message

1. Every true sign, every true sign that's sent from God the--has a voice behind it

2. Every true sign of God is followed by the voice of God

3. God always vindicates His signs. Sign from God always speaks God's voice

4. Elected listens to the voice

5. The Pillar of Fire to Moses was the sign the voice was going to speak. The Pillar of Fire showed that the voice was going to speak. That's a sign, a Pillar of Fire

6. Jonah being delivered by the whale was a sign. What did he do? That was a sign from God. What did the voice say? "Repent, or perish in forty days": God's sign, God's voice. Always when God sends a sign, God sends His voice behind that sign. Notice, "Repent or within forty days this whole city will perish."

7. The end time sign will have an end time voice

8.  Luke 17 is the sign, and Malachi 4 is the voice. The sign was like God manifested in flesh, knowing the secrets of the heart. And the voice of Malachi 4 was turning the people away from their creeds, back to the faith of the fathers. That's the sign

9. Signs are usually accepted (Sure.), but the voice, oh, no

10. If you can believe the sign of Sodom, of Luke, if you can believe that, then why not accept the voice of Malachi 4. See? Why don't you? It can be vindicated. The only way it can be done is the sign can be proven, but you have to accept the voice.

11. How do you do? We are strangers too. Do you believe? That's the sign. Now, the voice is, "Return to the Word." Don't know you; He does. If He'll tell me something about you, then you'll believe that that Word that I've said will be vindicated? That's the--that's the vindication of It. See? I said He done it. That's prophesying. Now, if the prophecy comes to pass, then He said, "Hear it."

12. The voice speaking to you now, "Turn, O dispersed; turn, O wandering star; turn, O you that's been ousted out. Turn tonight." Won't you turn?

Just stand and say, "I identify myself as a sinner, asking for mercy." Will you do it? 

13. That's the only way that the members of the churches of this day will fail to go into the Judgment, is when they believe the sign and hear the Voice of God.

VOICE OF THE SIGN

 

GO.TELL_  JEFF.IN  EASTER.MESSAGE.BOOK  SUNDAY_  60-0417M

  108    A few days ago, talking to the great Doctor Lamsa, who translated the Bible from the Aramaic unto English... And I seen that little sign, God's sign on there, with three little dots in it. I said, "Doctor Lamsa, what is that?"

He said, "It's God, with three attributes."

And I said, "You mean, God living in three offices, such as, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?"

He raised and looked at me, tears come in that Jew's eyes; he said, "Do you believe that, Brother Branham?"

I said, "With all that's in my heart."

He throwed his arms around me and said, "I wondered when I seen that great things going forth, and the signs that you were doing." Said that, "They told me you was a prophet. I didn't believe it till now. Now, I know you are." He said, "That's it. That's the message. That's the thing that'll shake the Kingdom of God." Yes. He said, "Someday you'll die for it, boy." Said, "You'll seal your testimony with that very same thing."

 

GO.TELL_  JEFF.IN  EASTER.MESSAGE.BOOK  SUNDAY_  60-0417M

  112    One of the greatest man we got, when Eisenhower and great men of the world, Hollywood, all kinds of movie stars and everything calling for him, but hung right there in the meeting. He said, "I have been thirty-some-odd years getting this translation, not from the Vatican Greek, but from the Aramaic; right straight from that, from the Aramaic into the--the English." And he said, "I've spent all that time," he said, "I have just now walked into the place where I see God of the Bible moving." He said, "You know, Brother Branham, we can see signs and wonders, but we watch what voice the sign has. We Jews, we see a sign, but we watch the voice of the sign."

 

GO.TELL_  JEFF.IN  EASTER.MESSAGE.BOOK  SUNDAY_  60-0417M

  113    Oh, hallelujah, the voice of the sign... God told Moses, "If they won't hear the voice, the voice of the first sign, then they'll hear the voice of the second sign." Not so much the sign, but the voice went with it.

See that Jew, he knowed what he was talking about. He said, "I've seen discernments; I've seen signs, wonders, the blind being made well, and all kinds of different signs, but I wondered, but now I see the voice behind it will not cut God in three parts, and saying He's one God the Father, and next the Son." He said, "God is God: three attributes of God, three offices of God." Said, "That confirms it."

Oh, brother, we got a message. "Go tell My disciples. I wasn't one that died, and another one that's pretty near dead, and the other one is alive; I am He that Was, which Is, and Shall Come; the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star." Yes.

 

THE.QUEEN.OF.SHEBA_  KLAMATH.FALLS.OR  SUNDAY_  60-0710

  E-32    Many people are following signs. It isn't the sign; it's the voice that goes with the sign. Moses, when he was given two signs, God told him, "If they won't hear the voice of the first sign, then they will hear the voice of the second sign." Each sign is just a sign. Man has gifts and things, but watch what's behind it. Satan can impersonate any thing almost; he is a impersonator, and he can impersonate. But watch the kind of a voice that it is. What does it do? The voice of the sign.

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

18    Now did you notice how God does that, the unchangeable God? Can any of you go back in Arkansas, about fifteen years ago, when the Voice of the first sign, promised the Voice of the second sign? See? I said, "When that comes to pass, nobody will be able, 'less he's just purely an unbeliever, 'cause It will discern and know what he is, and can tell him about it." So he's a... How many remembers the proph-... that being prophesied way back years ago, that come to the meeting, and said it would come to pass? The Angel of the Lord said, "It'll come to pass that you'll even know the secrets that's in their heart." How many knows that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That prophesied many years ago, see, when the first sign was a moving.

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

  45      Now we find out here, the burning bush was a sign. It was given to attract the attention of Moses.

46    Now that's what God gives a sign for, is to attract the attention of the people. That's what a sign is for, is to attract attention. And we go down through the Scripture here, as we teach It now for a few minutes, and find out if that isn't so, that He gives these signs to attract attention. And then when He gets the attention of the people, then the Voice of the sign begins to speak. Jesus healed the sick, to attract attention, see, then when He begin to preach. See, they always, it attracts attention.

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

  55      There, watch real close now. He is going to speak, so He has to attract the attention by a sign, and the sign's voice is what He is going to say. His Word, His promised Word is going to be vindicated now. See? "I made a promise that I would take them out by a strong hand; I would show My power in that land," and whatever He is going to do. Now, He made the promise to Abraham, here He is ready to do it. So, He gives a sign, a Pillar of Fire laying back in a burning bush, and He tells Moses, "Now you're going to be My mouthpiece. Go on down there, and I'll be with you."

56    And when he got down there, then the promised Word, that He had promised, was vindicated. That was the Voice of the sign. You get it now? Notice, "I have heard their groans. I remember My promise."

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

  57      God never changes. He always does it in the same way. The coming of a prophet is a sign that God is ready to speak. Did you... Now search the Scriptures. See? The Bible said, God said, Himself, He "did nothing until He revealed It to His prophets." That's right. He does it through them, because it comes to him. That's His servants, you know. All right.

58    The coming of a prophet is a sign that's overlooked by the people, every time. They overlook it. They never get it, somehow, 'less it's those who are got their eyes opened to see it. Those who are elected to see It, does see It. But the coming of a prophet was the sign that God is ready to speak, 'cause, if God ain't going to speak, the prophet wouldn't be on earth. Now remember that, he wouldn't be on earth unless God was ready to speak. And that's the way He speaks, is through those channels. The unchanging God never did do it any other way. Notice.

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

  59      This is always God's way of making His Voice known to His people. He sends His prophet and gives a sign; and then takes His Voice that's been spoken before, on His Word, and vindicates It by this man. And they know that it's His Voice because it's the promised Word of the day. Oh, if people could only see that. If they could only stop just a moment and realize that. You see, there is no way to make them believe it; there is--there is not a way, a man. God Himself can't do it, make the people believe it. They've got to believe it. And if there is nothing there to believe with, how can they believe, see, no matter what you do?

60    The Bible said, "Though He had done so many miracles, yet they could not believe" because, Isaiah foresaw it, and said, "They got ears and they can't hear, eyes and can't see." And yet He was perfectly the Messiah, done exactly what the Messiah said. And they said, "This Man just breaks up churches. And, He, we don't know from whence He comes." You see? Isn't that strange that they would do that? But the Bible said they would do it.

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

  62      Now always making known His Voice to His people, by His prophet sign. Now I'm talking about Moses, that's where I'm banking back, and then see where we're at. God's Word is manifested by the Voice of the sign.

63    Now the sign that is promised for the day, is done before the people, and then the written Scripture comes forth, is the Voice of that sign. If it doesn't give a Scriptural Voice, then stay away from it, see, it's not God. Cause, God can't promise This for today, and say, "Well, this is it." See, God cannot do that. God cannot promise something for one day, and say, "No, no, it--it ain't. I--I won't do that. That was for another day." What He promises, He must stay with it, and the real Scriptural sign is the Scriptural Voice.

64    Moses' sign, that he saw, was God in cosmic light. And then when He did that...

65    And does anybody know the old Hebrew sign, even before there was a Bible written? Was a triangle shape, or an oval shape of a cosmic light, exactly right, the Logos. Now, Doctor Lamsa has that in his Bible, on the cover on the outside.

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

  89      Notice, the Pillar of Fire sign, and then the Voice of the sign spoke. See? The Pillar sign, of the Voice, was there ready to speak. The sign only showed that the Voice was ready to speak. Get the idea? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

90    The sign shows God's Voice is ready to speak, and when God shows a sign as He is in the last days. You don't...

91    You look around. Look at--look at the immoral of the people today. That's God's sign. When you see people getting like this, look what they're going to. He said, "They'd get worse and worse." They, they are doing it, see, that--that immoral sign. All right.

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

  92      And there is all kinds of signs. Signs in the heavens above, fearful sights, flying saucers; the Pentagon looks at them, don't know what they are. All kinds of signs: sea a roaring, waves, perplex of time, distress between the nations, all these things, earthquakes in divers places, man running to and fro, knowledge increasing, all these other things that He said, great turmoil. How that Christ would be put out of His church in the last days, in the Laodicea Age, we've got it. See? All these things are God-speaking signs.

93    And then what's to make this known? God sends someone on the scene, something on the scene to vindicate that, and to take the Scripture that's spoke of for the day and to manifest it, then that's the credentials of it. That, see, that's the sign.

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

  94      The Pillar of Fire, as soon as the--the sign come up there, it was the--that was the sign that the Voice was ready to speak.

95    And we see the sign of the end. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] The sign of the end! How many believes that, say amen. ["Amen."] Then, the Voice is ready to speak! The Voice is ready to speak because we see the sign. The Pillar of Fire was there to say that the Voice was ready to speak.

96    Also, it must be a Scriptural sign, must be a Scriptural vindication of the Word that's promised for that day. How perfect is God's order each time!

 

There is only one sign we look for, and that's the vindicated Word of God, when it's THUS SAITH THE LORD. That's the Voice of the sign, God's Word first. When the Urim Thummim spoke, they said, "That's right." When them Lights flashed, the sign was there, the Voice was true. Notice how--how people has made that of a non-effect today, by their traditions!

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

  154      Now notice Jesus' first ministry, oh, they all, everybody, wanted Him in their church, "Oh, my, He's a great Fellow!" Sure, He went in all the synagogues, read the scrolls and set down. Everybody, "Young Rabbi!"

155    But one day He begin to talk to them in another way, the Voice of the sign begin to speak. And when the Voice of the sign begin to speak, nobody wanted Him. One of them said, "This Man is crazy. It's cannibal, trying to make cannibal out of all of us." See? He never explained it. Let them go.

156    The next come along, we find out that the seventy, the ministerial association He had with Him, when they come, "Well, how can this Man be ascending up? How? Who is He? Why, here He is making Hisself equal with God. That's a hard saying." And they went away from Him.

 

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_  TULARE.CA  V-22 N-12  FRIDAY_  64-0214

157             Then He turned to the disciples, and He said, "You want to go, too?" See? They couldn't go. They had seen something. They knowed the Scripture and they knowed that was it. They couldn't explain what He was talking about, but yet they believed it anyhow.

 

Now, Jesus, in Luke 17:30, promised the sign of the end time. The last sign, was God manifested in a human body that could discern the thoughts that was in Sarah's mind, in the tent behind her. That's what He said. That's the sign that He promised at the end. Ju-... What'd He say it would do? "It would be known in the days, the last days, when the Son of man will be revealed." Be revealed! When the Son of man is revealed, that will be the sign He'll be revealed by.

 

The sign, and the voice of the sign, condemns the unbeliever and gets him ready for judgment. It gets the elected ready for the escape. That's what sign is. That's what signs are given for, for the coming judgment. To the elected, they see it.

 

  328-3    LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE  -  CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9

Before we close this section on the messenger of the Laodicean Age, we must seriously consider these two thoughts. First, this age will have ONE Prophet-Messenger. Revelation 10:7, says, "When he (singular) shall begin to sound." There has never been an age where God gave His people two major prophets at one time. He gave Enoch (alone); He gave Noah (alone); He gave Moses (he alone had the Word though others prophesied); John the Baptist came ALONE. Now in this last day there is to be a PROPHET (not a prophetess--though in this age there are more women purporting to give God's revelation than men), and the infallible Word says that he (the prophet) will reveal the mysteries to the end time people, and turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers.

There are those who say that God's people are going to come together through a collective revelation. I challenge that statement. It is a bald, invalid assumption in the face of Revelation 10:7. Now I do not deny that people will prophesy in this last age and their ministries can and will be correct. I do not deny that there will be prophets even as in the days of Paul when there was "one Agabus a prophet who prophesied of a famine". I agree that is so. BUT I DENY UPON THE INFALLIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE WORD THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE MAJOR PROPHET-MESSENGER WHO WILL REVEAL THE MYSTERIES AS CONTAINED IN THE WORD, AND WHO HAS THE MINISTRY TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TO THE FATHERS. "Thus saith the Lord" by His unfailing Word stands, and shall stand and be vindicated. There is one prophet-messenger to this age.

On the basis of human behavior alone, anyone knows that where there are many people there is even divided opinion on lesser points of a major doctrine which they all hold together. Who then will have the power of infallibility which is to be restored in this last age, for this last age is going to go back to manifesting the Pure Word Bride? That means we will have the Word once again as it was perfectly given, and perfectly understood in the days of Paul. I will tell you who will have it. It will be a prophet as thoroughly vindicated, or even more thoroughly vindicated than was any prophet in all the ages from Enoch to this day, because this man will of necessity have the capstone prophetic ministry, and God will shew him forth. He won't need to speak for himself, God will speak for him by the voice of the sign. Amen.
