The Bride's Revival

1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

It’ll take those seven unknown Thunders back there, to wake Her up again, see. Yeah. He’ll send it. He promised it. 63-0320 - The Third Seal | Rev. William Marrion Branham

The Bride hasn’t had a revival yet

WMB Quotation

Now that’s what’s the reason today, that, the revivals that we’re supposed to have, we have denominational revivals. We haven’t had a real stirring. No, no, no. No, sir. Don’t think we got revivals. We haven’t. Oh, they’ve got millions and millions and millions of church members, but not a revival nowhere. No. No. 183 The Bride hasn’t had a revival yet. See?

WMB Quotes

284 Now I feel delivered, I feel that God has brought us the Message. I believe that we’re at the end of the road, I believe that the hour is here for the manifestation of God to be made known among us. And I don’t know how much longer it’ll be, but the hour is soon at hand. 60-1211E - The Laodicean Church Age | Rev. William Marrion Branham

And one of these mornings, there’ll be a disappearing, and one of these nights, there’ll be a disappearing; and the church will be changed and caught up to meet Jesus in the air. And woe unto this bunch then. They’ll gnaw their tongues for pain, when the atomic sweeps into the nation, burns eyes out, and runs like water down, and tongues are gnawed for pain, and screaming, just one bomb bursting after another. You’ll remember how much it was mental telepathy, how much it was a bunch of holy-rollers or fanatics. Remember, God knows what He’s a doing. Yes, sir. 86 The next thing waiting is for that elected and called-out seed of Abraham, who’s recognized the manifestation of God among His people and standing and waiting. That’ll be the one that’ll be caught up to meet Him in the air. 61-0423 - Abraham And His Seed After Him | Rev. William Marrion Branham

The Seven Thunders will Wake the Bride again!

What the Bible says about the 7 Thunders

They will arrive on the scene at the time of the coming of the Lord (Revelation 10)

They will utter their voices when the Mighty Angel (Christ) roars (to claim His right as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah)

They are men of God who will speak His word

180 We find out that he gets killed with the sword, too, the sword of the Word. God’s Word, sharp, two-edged sword, slays him, puts him right down. Wait till them Seven Thunders utter Their voices to that group who really can take the Word of God and hand It there, It’ll slice and cut. And they can close the heavens. They can shut this, or do that, whatever they want to. Glory! He’ll be slayed by the Word that proceeds from His mouth, is sharper than a two-edged sword. They could call for a hundred billion tons of flies if they wanted to. Amen. Whatever they say, is going to happen, because It’s the Word of God coming from the mouth of God. Yeah. Amen. God, always, It’s His Word, but He always uses man to work It. 63-0321 - The Fourth Seal | Rev. William Marrion Branham

They will utter a “great revelation” for the Bride of Christ

392 Did you notice, when the Jews asked Him that? When we compared the Scripture here with Matthew 24, with the six Seals, the Seventh Seal was left out. Because, you see, Christ said, “Only God Himself knowed; not even the Angels.” No wonder, It wasn’t even written. You see, they hushed; nothing take place then. Angels don’t know It. Nobody knows when He is coming. 63-0324E - The Seventh Seal | Rev. William Marrion Branham

393 But there’ll be Seven Voices, of these Thunders, that will reveal the great revelation at that time. So, I believe, to us who…If we don’t know It, and if we…It won’t be knowed till that time. But it will be revealed in that day, in the hour that it’s supposed to be revealed in. 63-0324E - The Seventh Seal | Rev. William Marrion Branham

What the Seven Thunders mean for the Bride of Christ

The Seven Thunders will initiate the Bride’s Revival.

their ministry is not to evangelize the world

their ministry is only to spark “rapturing faith” in the Bride for the Rapture

The Seven Thunders will spearhead the “manifestation of God” in the Bride.

signs and wonders will be manifested AMONG THE PEOPLE OF GOD - not just a single man

the supernatural demonstration will climax in the manifestation of Christ Himself among His people.

Conclusion

The Bride’s Revival will be the Final Revival!

428 Every one of you, cleanse all your heart. Lay aside everything, every weight, keep it out of your way. Don’t let nothing bother you. Don’t be scared. There’s nothing to be scared about. If Jesus is coming, it’s a very…It’s the moment that the whole world has groaned and cried for. If it’s something breaking forth now, for a new coming, a new coming of a new gift or something, it’ll be wonderful. If it’s coming time that the revelation of the Seven Thunders will be revealed to the Church, how to go, I don’t know. I have just stated what I saw. Oh, my, what a time! It’s serious and solemn thinking. 62-1230E - Is This The Sign Of The End, Sir? | Rev. William Marrion Branham

1 Corinthians 15.51-54

Isaiah 25.6-9

in this mountain - exalted condition

feast - revival, rejoicing

choice pieces - special things from God

wine on the lees - stimulation of revelation

destroy the covering, the veil - death over all men

swallo up death - body change

Behold this is our God - manifestation of God
