“Leaving the Old – Embracing the New” ~ The Face of a Man Age is over~

1. “Leaving the Old – Embracing the New” ~The Face of a Man Age is over~

2. REVELATION 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. REVELATION 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. REVELATION 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

3. GO.TELL_60-0417M 160 I'd seen that. I'd been catering too much to denominations and everything (You see?), somebody trying to tell you what to do and what not to do. You got to follow Him. Now, remember the vision that He give me about the fishes, you know, and how that you couldn't teach supernatural signs to Pentecostal babies. You remember. There it was. And I'm right at the brim of this new message.

4. THE.INVISIBLE.UNION_65-1125 194 So can we be thankful, as pilgrims, like Abraham, separated ourself from the things of the world, all of our associates. Abraham was a pilgrim. God has separated us from all the dead religions. I'm speaking across the nation now, all the dead creeds. And to what? Separated us, and opened to us a new land, a new Message for this day.

5. GOD'S.ONLY.PROVIDED.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_65-1128M 176 …So don't bring your denomination over in the new Message. This is the Word now.That's what denominated, the stalk; it carried It, that's right; but It come over into here, then the stalk died. It was a carrier, the denomination, but the Word goes right on.

6. "To resist the Antichrist spirit is to move forward with the Authority of the WORD in our Heart and Mind." ~Bro Louie Villamor~ “Our commission is to overcome the antichrist spirit of today. We’ll only be successful at combating it when we fulfill our commission and purpose by the message of the hour.” ~Bro Jerry Allen~

7. THE.RAPTURE_65-1204 59 And even what is eat today, don't try to keep it for tomorrow. "Burn it with fire, before daylight come," for there's a new Message coming forth, and a new thing. See, try to hold it over, but that's been the attitude of the church. A revival goes forth, and the first thing you know, within about three years, they start an organization over it. A denomination starts, organization. But have you noticed? This has been sweeping for twenty years now, and there's no organization.

8. REVELATION 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. REVELATION 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

9. REVELATION 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. REVELATION 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Fourth Part of Earth: “Fire” = “Spiritual Death”

10. THE.FOURTH.SEAL_63-0321 299-4 {143} Now, remember, now in the first age was a lion age. That was the Lion of the tribe of Juda, Christ. His own influence of life, taken that age. That's the first beast, which means power that answered by human voice. ..Now, the second age was a red horse rider which was a dark age. And now, now, the next age was the man of the age which was the black horse rider, and he was the age of the reformers (See?), went to the voice who spoke.

11. Now, the black horse rider, that was the antichrist; but the one that was speaking in that age was represented as man. And that's the wisdom, smart, shrewd. See? And they didn't get it, See? They didn't call... They didn't name him. See? They just said it went forth.

12. 300-1 {148} But now when it comes forth, the eagle age; that's the one that God always likens His prophets to eagles. He calls Himself an eagle. The eagle goes so high there ain't nothing else can touch him. Not only is he up there, but he's built for that position. When he gets up there, he see where he's at. Some people get up there and can't see where they're at, so don't do no good to get up there.

13. THE.FIFTH.SEAL_63-0322 353-5 {150} Now, the next thing went out to combat that was a beast with the face of a man: smart, educated, shrewd, fine, anointed with that Spirit of that day. You notice it? Now, he went to combat him with the cunningness of God's wisdom with him. That was the age of the Reformation: Martin Luther, John Wesley, and so forth. See, it was the Reformation: Zwingli, and a, oh, who all, Knox, Calvin, and who all (See?), went out. It was a cunningness.

14. THE.FIFTH.SEAL_63-0322 353-7 {150} Now, you watch. Exactly from the dark age, from the Reformation, this a-way, watch; it was the shrewdness of man. …But notice, it was the shrewdness of man. Now, do you understand? That third beast that Satan sent out, he become shrewd too.

15. THE.FIFTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN FRIDAY_ 63-0322 354-2 {155} …The beast come to combat it now, was man. And we all know that this beast of man, this power of man in his intellectuals, recognized that that kosher that Martin Luther had in his hand when he was climbing those steps... They said, "This is the Blood of Jesus Christ. This is the body of Jesus Christ.“ And Luther throwed it down and said, "It's bread and wine. It's not the body of Christ.

16. THE.FIFTH.SEAL_63-0322 356-4 {172} …The third beast now, was the cunningness of a man. And he represented the reformers that went forth from the idol of pagan, say, "This is the bread; this is the wine." See, the antichrist has still got something symbolizes Christianity. He's got to, 'cause he's against. You see? And then if he's got to be against something... Now, if he come along and say, "Oh, I'm a Buddha." Well, that has got nothing at all to do; that's just a heathen to begin with. But the antichrist is cunning.

17. When we take the time to know and understand that the first 5,600 years of civilization walked by the revelation of God, through Christ in man, then we will begin to understand the importance of revelation in a person’s life. During that time the most they had in their hands were letters written by men that caught a glimpse of their day and message. It wasn’t until Moses, about 1200 to 1400 years before Jesus Christ that there was any resemblance of a compilation of letters. It was the Torah and that was the five books of Moses; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Anything else was letters and scrolls that were scattered here and there throughout geographical areas and years of history.

18. The Pre-Nicaea prophets and church fathers had a small compilation of letters from Paul and the apostles. Those notes and letters were called “The Apostles Creed”. Those were read and believed by the Pre-Nicaea fathers of the Body of Christ. Also, there were the letters of the prophets of Israel and the Torah. After the Council of Nicaea in 325-27 A.D. the new denominational false church was accepted by both the political and religious realms. A persecution was unleashed upon the forefathers and the True Church of that day. Most all the prophets and believers of the original Pentecost were slaughtered and killed.

19. The church fathers that accepted Nicaea’s doctrine and counsel confiscated and burned everything they could find. The actions of the false church were to destroy the revelation of Jesus Christ given by the forefathers. The Catholic Church after Nicaea was determined to blur the clear lines of the teachings against the antichrist. It was because the forefathers had declared that church system to be a work of the antichrist. And the false church wanted to mar the clear teaching of the Christ, which pointed to the Pentecostal fathers.

20. A long period passed and it wasn’t until the 1520’s that Martin Luther compiled all of the letters, writings and literature that were once held by the forefathers of the Pre-Nicaea era. He began to compile them in a single book and translated them into the common German language. The true believers of the Living God had survived and overcome all odds during the previous fifty-six hundred years. At that time the move of the Holy Ghost was taking them into another dispensation, “The Face of a Man Age”.

21. The Holy Spirit moved the Catholic Priest, Martin Luther, to recant his beliefs of the Church and to canonize the writings and translate them from the church language of Latin to the German language of the common people. Martin Luther was the first to complete a single book with the Testament of Moses, the prophets of Israel, and the letters from the Pre-Nicaea apostles and prophets. The Pre-Nicaea apostles and prophets were the believers in Jesus Christ from the time of Pentecost to the Nicaea Council. The book that Martin Luther transcribed and canonized was titled “The Testaments of God”.

22. It was not until the “The Testaments of God”, the German writings of Luther became famous all across Europe, that it was given another name and translated into many languages. The theologians and scholars titled it “The Old and The New Testament”. When placed in a book together it become commonly called “The Bible”. It was the early 1600’s when the title “The Holy Bible” became known.

23. This understanding is needed to realize that this Book of the Bible came into creation for a specific reason at the time that it did. Great men of God were used to compile, canonize and print this book in the age that it happened. These mighty men came out of the “Dark Ages” that lasted approximately one thousand years. The True Church stood firm by the Spirit of God in the second beast of Christ; the Ox. It was an age of sacrifice and blood for the Body of the Lord and the Fox’s Book of Martyrs has recorded over 68 million deaths of the believers. The Church of the Living God survived the slaughter of the red horse rider and overcame.

24. The True Church entered the time of the third beast of Christ; the Face of a Man. The battle of the black horse rider was on the scene and it was all about economics and religion. This “Face of a Man” age was Christ and antichrist in combat within an intellectual, shrewd, smart age. The gospels of Luther, Wesley and Pentecost were progressive. God used intellectual lawyers, and scholars, with writing skills and skills of invention within the church. The world’s politics, religions and economics were swiftly changing as they went into industrialization, corporation, and economic systems. These things trapped the world and the false church into a state of collective works and collective revelation.

25. The Spirit of God moved into the earth and rose up mighty men of God with the shrewd intellectual skills to combat the intellectual giants of the false church. The oncoming storm was printing presses, newspapers, churches, corporations, lawyers, governments, colleges, and schools. Dictators began to rule all facets of the communities, both local and national governments. Technological inventions like the automobile, the airplane, and the space age brought on satellites and computers and all the gadgets that you can have at your fingertips today.

26. The Spirit of God was breaking the chains of the false church by these mighty men of valor and their book that God had given to them. That book was “The Bible”. Widespread education rapidly occurred. And what came with these avenues? There were such writings as the Mormon Bible, the Koran, the doctrines of Muslim and Catholic Bibles and religions, and all sorts of perversions of the revelation of Jesus Christ.

27. God had already prepared his Spiritual move to combat these things. The men of God under that Face of a Man beast put together the greatest of books for the intellectual man’s age. Mighty men stood the test of man’s intellect and held this Book called “The Holy Bible” in their hands. This book given by the great men of God carried the believer through the intellectual age that struck the world.

28. This book of “The Holy Bible” was nurtured, written, kept alive and made to overcome all obstacles within its way. And then God began to prepare the True Church in its next progression. When William Branham came on the scene he was birthed naturally into the “Face of a Man Age” in 1909 A.D. and that was three years after the Pentecostal move on Asuza Street in Los Angeles, California. The move of the Holy Spirit was already showing a clear path out of the intellectual age of man. God chose an uneducated man, born in a small town in Kentucky, and begin to raise him up among the age he was in. His ministry was the Eagle that would lead the True Church out of the third beast of Christ into the fourth beast of Christ; the Eagle.

29. The public ministry of William Branham started in 1929 A.D. and he had a vision showing seven things that would happen as the Church ages were ending and the end of the world was rapidly approaching. In 1933 A.D. the Lord gave a clear sign that he was leaving the “Face of a Man Age” and was raising a prophet, an eagle, on the scene as the forerunner of the coming Word. In 1946 A.D. the Angel of the Lord sent him to the world in a healing revival that would eclipse every other revival that had moved in the earth. The Seventh Angel had stepped on the scene to finish up the Church age time and gather all the scattered Word from the denominations. He was to reveal the Mystery of the Church and he did so thoroughly.

30. In 1956 A.D. the Church ages ended as he had prophesied and the Spirit of Malachi 4, Elijah the prophet, was moving in the message of the Seventh Angel to restore all the lost things. The age from the ending of the Church Ages into the opening of those Seals was the age of Malachi 4 and the Eagle was soaring swiftly into the Eagle Age with the Wife of Christ following. The Church Ages were revealed with their seven messengers and the restoration of all the lost things were completed by March, 1963.

31. The vision of the opening of the seals had happened, along with the move to Arizona. The arrival of “The King’s Sword” in the hand of the prophet was completed. The finish of the “Second Testament” was quickly unfolding and the trip to Sunset Mountain completed the coming of the Lord from Acts 2 to Revelation 10. The next announcement was upon us and that was clearly a dispensational change from “The Face of a Man Age” to the fourth beast of Christ; the great Eagle age. The Eagles rose to a height of thirty miles high and gathered in the Cloud twenty-seven miles wide in the skies over Sunset Mountain, in the “Crowning Forest”.

32. The Eagles received their new commission and dropped into earth from the fiery Cloud at Sunset Mountain. This happening started a new day, a new message in a new dispensation. The new day and message are Eternity unfolding from that happening. The dispensation in the earth is “The Eagle Age”; “The Son of David Ministry” unfolding in the fleshly realms. It is the great Day Star, the full Light of Christ in his Rising as the Son of David in the earth.

33. The shrewdness of man, the smart educated intellectuals that once carried their book under their arm and defeated every dominating female spirit of the false church will not suffice in the day. We have matured beyond that and the antichrist knows it. That human spirit is continually trying to pull us back into that age of books and creeds and false churches. Now, in this age, that devil has matured and will carry “The Holy Bible” under his arm and say, “This is the Word of God and you’d better get back to the word and the word only.” It is intellectuals that have progressed enough to say what the mighty men of valor used to say in a day gone by.

34. We are soaring high into the realms of the revelation of Jesus Christ now. In this matured age of the Third Testament we are not depending upon a book for our answers. Our absolute is not written on pages or scrolls, but it is the revelation of Jesus Christ in our hearts and minds. We have moved beyond worshipping man and we have moved beyond worshipping “The Holy Bible”. We’ve stepped into clean holy spoken word bodies and we worship the Almighty God, the Pillar of Fire, the Lion of Juda. He continues to wear a coat of flesh as the Father in us. We are matured beyond pledging ourselves to a book or to a man. Our absolute is 6th and 7th dimensional and anything in this flesh realm is not our God.

35. “The Holy Bible” is full of the wisdom of God and it is full of witnesses telling us how God moved upon them in the form of the Holy Ghost. Those witnesses are proof beyond doubt to me that I am one of them. I thank God for all the books that are inspired of him. I continually read and enjoy all that I can find. All that wrote are witnesses to me of who I am. However, not one of them, nor the books that they have written, are my absolute. My absolute is in “Me”. Jesus said, “He that dwells with you shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless, I will come into you.”

36. Let’s not remain “cripples” in our thinking. Let’s start worshipping God and not a book. Let’s read for encouragement, enjoyment, and for the history of our ancestry. Let’s not go into a book and look for the things that we can convert to creeds, dogmas and doctrinal issues. Let’s read for a witness and not for evidences. And let’s convert what we have read into the enjoyment of fellowship together in Christ Jesus.

37. WORKS.IS.FAITH.EXPRESSED_65-1126 238 Notice, remember, he had no Bible to read from. He didn't have it as easy as we got it today, to read His Word and see others who've took It. Remember, he only had It by revelation,and that's the real thing. Same as it was by Joseph, in Genesis, there was no Bible. Remember, Moses wrote Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. None of those characters in there had any Bible to read till after Moses. Is that right? They didn't have a Bible that we got, to help us along in our cripple condition. They were rugged man who... was revealed to them by God, and they stood right there. Nothing moved them. Now, do you think that we can still have that rugged faith? If It's revealed to you!

38. Now, William Marrion Branham knew God will use another servant, to lead the Bride Age believer to the Wife of Christ. "My commission is to transition the second coming believer to the third coming Message“. You will get angry to say it is Brother Parnell, but I tell you, this is no longer his commission alone. This is now mine and yours. This is now our commission. ~Bro Gem Galupar~
