By Brother Ben Howard
Dawsonville, Georgia (USA)
Well I want to say, as my wife has already said,
“We’ve really enjoyed being here with you.” I believe
our brother invited us to come back next year. We
don’t know what another year holds, but we want to
obey God.
I want to thank the brothers who have interpreted
for me, I know I gave them a little bit of a hard
time. It has been a real pleasure to be here. You
have got a place in my heart. When I go back to the
United States, I’m going to take a lot of good
memories with me. As Paul said, “You are in my
heart.” Also, I really enjoyed meeting all the
minister brothers that have been in the meetings. I
thank my brother for praying for us. He prayed that
God would give us a safe journey, and I appreciate
that. I thank God for all the little children. I
don’t have any earthly children, so I just adopt them
all where ever I go. I adopt the whole church!
Praise God! “Children are a gift from God,” the Word
says.
I came from a big family. There were fifteen of
us, and we lived in a small house, so we had to work
together. We had to get along. We couldn’t argue and
fuss with one another; not too much anyway. My daddy
would really get on us. It taught me that in this
life we’ve got to work with one another. Sometimes
there may be little differences in the family, but we
work around those things. We don’t magnify those
things. Paul taught us to earnestly strive to keep
the unity of the faith. That’s something that we have
got to do. We love you all, this morning, with the
love of God; not only with the love of God, but with
our human love. I just appreciate you. I wish there
were other words to tell you, but that’s all the words
that I know. I praise God for you all.
All right, now let us go back to Revelation,
chapter 10, and we’re going to begin where we left off
yesterday. Yesterday we got through the seven church
ages, and as we came through the seven church ages, we
showed you that God is going to restore the Church
back. The Church through the church ages lived on a
lower level, because She was fallen from Her first
love; but God said that He would restore it back in
the end-time. There is a prophecy in Joel 2:25, “And
I will restore to you the years that the locust hath
eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the
palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.”
Let’s read now in Revelation, chapter 10. I want
to begin reading in verse 7, which finishes up the
mystery of God which is the church ages. Revelation
10:7—“But in the days of the voice of the seventh
angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery (and
that’s important—singular “mystery.”) of God should be
finished, as he hath declared to his servants the
prophets.”
Now, we go from verse 7 to verse 8, and it was
taught us by the messenger (the seventh church age
messenger, Brother William Branham) that we are in the
Bride age, eternity. So the seven church ages have
run their course; that is, as far as the Bride is
concerned. The age itself goes on, but we are called
out. So the seventh church age is over for us, the
Bride.
Now God brings back the original Word, and restores
us back to the foundation that the Apostle Paul laid.
So the angel, which is Christ in Spirit form, is here
with a book in His hand, and there we begin verse 8.
“And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me
again, and said, Go and take the little book which is
open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the
sea and upon the earth.”
We are getting ready to go on a journey now in the
Word of God. Here was a book which was brought back
to earth. We found out yesterday, that this book was
in heaven. It was already written - (written within),
but it was sealed with seven seals. We also found
out the seven seals were taken off, and when the seven
seals were taken off, the Mighty Angel brought the
book back to earth. Now I want you to notice
something. The Mighty Angel is a spiritual angel.
This Mighty Angel is Christ coming back in Spiritual
or Angelical form (not a physical coming, but a
Spiritual coming) – the anointed Word coming back to
the Church. So this Spiritual Angel has a spiritual
book for us. It’s a revelation of what the Apostle
Paul wrote to us.
