PREACHING No.31
ON DANIEL 12
(Preached on Sunday May 02, 2004 in Locodjro, Abidjan - Ivory Coast)
[Note: Brother Philip exhorts for about thirty minutes on various points. Then the congregation sings the Old Gospel. It is from that time, that the seats began to no longer be sufficient inside]
When I am preaching, I do not hear any "Amen". I appreciate that! There are places where we hear: "Preach it is the truth! .... " I do not like that!
Now let’s read Daniel 12:1 to 13 [Ed: Brother Philip reads the chapter 12 of Daniel]. We notice that Daniel 12 is comparable with Rev.12 as Zechariah 6 and Rev.6. The same picture of Daniel 12 is that of Rev.12, referring at the same time to Israel and the nations with the same elements. Rev.12: 5 to 6 and the v.13 and 14 say the same thing apparently. And Daniel 12:4 and the verses 8 to 10 also say the same thing apparently, but in reality, they are separated as east and west. The verses 5 to 7 and 11 to 13 of Daniel are complementary. So Daniel 12 is Rev.12 of the Old Testament. As also the verse 4 of Daniel 12 is the verse 4 of Rev. 10, there it is the same thing. But they are different from the verses 8 to 10 of Daniel 12. I have not seen or heard it anywhere, it is the entire revelation of Jesus Christ. Like last Sunday, I said that the middle of the Bible is not Ps.118: 8 as the theologians say it, but the book of Isaiah. The middle of any thing contains the elements and properties of that thing. The middle of a fruit is its core or its grains. The middle of the man is his kidneys. The book of Isaiah contains 66 "books" like the Bible and contains the whole Bible. When taking the scroll of Isaiah in Luke 4, Jesus Christ was taking the Old and New Testament and even what was not written...
Well, now let’s come to the preaching itself that will focus on the verses 4 then verses 8 to 10 of Daniel 12. Let a brother read it! [Brother Lawrence reads v.4] ... Thank you! I will not linger on the verse 4 because it's history since 40 years, since the opening of the seals. Daniel 12:4 occurs in the evening time, God says to Daniel: "close and seal the book...." He says to John in Rev.10: 4: "seal the words!"You see? Daniel and John heard and understood but they were told to seal themselves and that until the time of the restoring of all things. But in the verses 8 to 10, those things were sealed and hidden by God Himself! Amen! See for certain the verse 8: "I heard, but I understood not ..."[Ed: The congregation says:"Amen!" Bro Philip pauses] I feel like saying a word in my mother tongue [Ed: the whole congregation shouts" Amen! "]. Do you get it? [Amen!] Daniel heard an unknown language in which God sealed and hid something [Amen!] When? After the verse 4, that is to say after the evening time, so at midnight. Daniel 12:8-10 was contained in the verse 4 but sealed by God Himself. Rev.10:4 and Daniel 12:4 were the revelation of the seven seals. In Rev.10, the unknown language was contained in the thunders but not its interpretation which was with the Lamb. When Daniel, on the other side of the curtain, saw John, he cried with his three friends: "Hallelujah! God is going to unveil it now!" But God said to him: "No Daniel, the hour has not come yet." In the Sabino Canyon, when Daniel saw William Branham, he cried [7th Seal page 31 Ref.192] But God calmed him down again. In the vision of Junior Jackson, William Branham could not interpret that white stone and yet it is on it that all of them should have their eyes because a little farther the Spirit of Elijah was interpreting that as we saw it in the 7th seal. And at midnight, when a 24th day of the Hebrew first month, in 1993, like Daniel, God placed a man on the bank of the great river Hiddekel [Ed: the congregation says "Amen!"]. When God placed a son of Daniel there [Ed: the name of Brother Philip’s father is Kacou Daniel] Daniel means ... "he who judges for God" and Philip means "he who rides". And finally a black horseman riding after those of Asia, Europe, after France, Germany, England and the United States, an African riding now! [Ed: The congregation says, Amen!]. From the black race, from the smallest ethnic group, from the lowest family, rises "He who rides". [Ed: Until March 29, 2006 when the second edition of this book was coming out, no follower of the Message came from the ethnic group or family of Brother Philip]. Glorious character before Jehovah to reveal the unknown language. [Ed: The congregation says, Amen!]. And there, it is God Himself who woke Daniel up there. And all the saints: Ezekiel, William Branham, the apostle John, Zechariah,... recognized that. Do you know that Daniel 12:8-10 occurs on the bank of the great river Hiddekel on April 24 of the third year of Cyrus? [Amen!] Today, Daniel 12:8-10 is finally fulfilled in simplicity, far from the pride of branhamists. The Message of the evening time in verse 4 brought them only knowledge. People run from doctrine to doctrine, from mystery to mystery, from "ism" to "ism " from brochure to brochure, from quotation to quotation ... with distrusts, rifts and hatreds of all kinds. If from now on one of all those who follow the Message of William Branham goes to heaven, let God send me to hell. Because that is impossible. It is their knowledge that has increased that’s all. Even the knowledge of the assemblies of gods, baptists, methodists,... has increased, they all have the brochures of W. Branham. And the branhamists have too many things to pay attention to an insignificant Kacou Philip. Knowledge has made some wise and others proud. But they will tremble forever before you! [Amen!] You have received and recognized your day and its Message. Now let’s read the verses 8 to 10 [Bro. Raymond reads Daniel 12:8-10] ... Many will be "purified" of false bibles, treaties, doctrines, false holy spirits, false churches, ... "be made white" means proved innocent, justified; "refined" means made perfect. But the Bible says that none of those who set down in Branham’s seat or in the seat of theology shall understand. God Himself will not permit that they come here because this Message of midnight shall not be corrupted because of its goal of perfection. [...] Yesterday, with brother Serge Pacome, we received a delegation that came to negotiate a collaboration with us. They have a message condemning all religious systems and their presidents without naming anything. They said that their message came from God to the apostle Kleber of Cameroon. We did not go far away. Only, God sends the Word to a prophet and not to an apostle, pastor, evangelist, reverend, doctor or what! He must be an apostle of a prophet messenger. This Kleber was nothing other than a religious reformer, he has no call, no divine commission! Even if his message was identical to Ours, we could not collaborate because God cannot send two people on earth at the same time! Therefore we must see a trap in their request to collaborate... Instead of accepting humbly that they seek to destroy It through collaboration. We do not need it and we will never collaborate. Some say: "Do not say here is the voice of Matth.25:6 ..." I will! They, have no biblical foundation and cannot do it. When Gabriel comes, he says: "I am Gabriel, who stand before God, fear not ..." John the Baptist says: "This is he who has been spoken of through Esaias ..." Matth.3:1 to 3. I'll do it again, you do not have any share with us, be silent! And I will condemn you in naming you even if you call that insults, judgments, or arrogance, it is what your fathers did to Jesus. Let us read John 8:13-14: "... Thou bearest witness concerning thyself ..." and Luke 11:45:" thou insultest us". You see? The demons do not die. Sons of the devil, sons of Belial! Let them! I will not let myself be distracted. They are wicked and the Bible says that they will not understand. While people make all their effort to be ahead, in the example of the brothers who are sitting here. Some travel over dozens of kilometers every Sunday morning to be here. See the brothers and sisters from Port-Bouet [Ed: a district of Abidjan, very distant from the worship place]... if there was no lagoon several would walk to be here! [Ed: The congregation shouts "Amen!"] And instead of accepting that, they talk of collaboration. I prefer death to collaboration [Amen!] They are obliged to come humbly here to have Life, it is "Thus saith the Lord"! [Amen!]
Well, we are going to pray for the consecration of our brother Christopher within a few minutes. After having brought the Message of the evening time and founded assemblies, he is ready for this Message, too. Oh! Wonderful book of Daniel, other inspirations come to me again. Daniel is Revelation of the Old Testament, see the chapters 2, 7, 8, 10 and 12 of the book of Daniel, it is the book of Revelation and the book of Daniel is spiritually the last and 27th book of the Old Testament as the book of Revelation is the 27th of the New Testament. [Ed: The whole congregation says, Amen!] I'm not saying that fleshly it is the 27th but for us it is the 27th because the Spirit of prophecy says it. [Amen] I do not fear to say what I have receive right now and I believe that the same Angel of Daniel 10 [Brother Philip stops] I'm not saying that it is that but would you like to count up to the book of Daniel? [Ed: The congregation counts... a brother says: "27", another says "27" then a third one.] That's perfect! ... Our old brother Christopher can come [...]
Without reading it from anyone and without calculation, I will preach on the different symbols of Daniel to show the time of rapture.
