22-0620P_THE THIRD EXODUS (REGULAR WEEKLY PRAYER MEETING)

Exo 3:1  Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

Exo 3:2  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 

Exo 3:3  And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 

Exo 3:4  And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 

Exo 3:5  And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 

Exo 3:6  Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

Exo 3:7  And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 

Exo 3:8  And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 

Exo 3:9  Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 

Exo 3:10  Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 

Exo 3:11  And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? 

Exo 3:12  And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. 

Exo 3:13  And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 

Exo 3:14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 

THE THIRD EXODUS

 

54 Now we’re going to speak, this morning, on the subject of the second exodus of God’s people, or the calling out of God’s people. Exodus means “brought out; called out; taken away from.” And I want to use that as a subject, of the second exodus of God’s people. [Brother Branham titles it, The Third Exodus, in the evening service—Ed.]

55 Now, they’ve had many exoduses, of course, but I’m speaking on the time that God called an exodus, a separation from where they were, at the present time. Here, God is making ready to fulfill His Divine promised Word that He had give to Abraham, and to Isaac, and to Jacob. Years, hundreds of years had passed, but, yet, God never forgets His promise. In the season, the due time, God always makes His promise right.

    63-0630M - The Third Exodus Rev. William Marrion Branham

56 Therefore, you can rest assure that what God has promised in this Bible, He’s going to do it. Just no need of trying to think anything else, and say, “Well, the prophet was, maybe, was wrong,” or, “that couldn’t happen in this day.” Looked almost impossible then, more impossible than it does now. But God did it, anyhow, because He promised He would do it.

57 And look how simple He does it. “I have come down. I heard the cry. I remember My promise. And I’ve come down to do it, and I’m sending you. You do it. I’m going to be with you. Certainly, I’ll be with you. My never—never-failing Presence will be with you wherever you go. Don’t be afraid.” See? “I’m coming down to deliver.” I’m sure the spiritual mind catches that. See? See? “I—I’m—I’m going to send you, to bring My people to an exodus. Call them out, and I’ll be with you.”
    63-0630M - The Third Exodus. Rev. William Marrion Branham

261 God always goes in threes. He’s perfect in threes. You all notice my preaching, it’s always threes and sevens. Uh-huh. Seven is the “complete.” Threes is His “perfection.” First, Second, and Third Pull. And, oh, all, everything. See? Justification, sanctification, baptism the Holy Ghost. Father, Son, Holy Gho-…Everything! See? Notice.

262 What did He do, the first exodus? He sent a prophet, anointed with a Pillar of Fire, and He called the people out. That was His first exodus.

263 And when Israel’s time was up, He sent again, a God-Prophet, with a Pillar of Fire. John saw It descending from Heaven like a dove. And He said, “I go to God and I return to God.”

264 After His death, burial and resurrection; Saul of Tarsus, on his road down to Damascus, saw that same Pillar of Fire. And him being a Hebrew, well taught in the Word, said, “Lord, Who are You?” He knew it was the Lord, that Pillar of Fire. He was a Hebrew. Said, “Who are You?”

And He said, “I am Jesus.”

265 The second exodus, He brought a Prophet, anointed, which was His Son, God-Prophet. Moses said He would be a Prophet; and had the Pillar of Fire, and done signs and wonders. And that same Prophet said, that, “Whosoever believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also.”

266 And here He promised the same thing in the exodus in the last days, and He cannot change it. And by scientific proof, by the witness of the Spirit, by the works of the Spirit, we see it today, the great Pillar of Fire moving among us; and the signs and wonders of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, calling the people from a denominationalism, into the Presence of Jesus Christ, to live, going to a Land. There no mistake, friends. It’s not what I’m saying; I’m just your brother. But, it’s what God is proving to you, what makes it the Truth. Same Pillar of Fire He used for the other two, He’s brought It among you today, and proved It by scientific. As you know, Life magazine packed It last month, over there. Where…

297 We are in an exodus. And leaving, and turning the tapes off in a moment. Oh, my friends, my brothers, both present and that will hear the tapes, let me…as your brother and citizen of the Kingdom of God. Come out, in this exodus, for all that’s left behind will bear the mark of the beast. Come out of Babylon. Come out of this confusion. Come out of these systems, and serve the living God. Let…
    63-0630M - The Third Exodus. Rev. William Marrion Branham

299 The first exodus, what did He do? He brought them out of a natural land, to a natural land.

300 The second exodus, He brought them out from a spiritual condition, into a spiritual baptism of the Holy Ghost.

301 Now He is bringing them from the spiritual baptism of the Holy Ghost, right back into the Eternal Land of the Millennium and the great Hereafter. Same Pillar of Fire, by the same anointed system, the same God doing the same things! And the same Word, declared the first one, declared the second one. The same Word, declared the second one, has declared the third one, and here we see It among us.

302 Come out. Oh! Come out of this chaos. Come to the living God. Come to the Word. “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” And now He’s in our flesh, dwelling among us. Come out and serve the living God.
    63-0630M - The Third Exodus. Rev. William Marrion Branham

 

58 Now, how—how we can rest, how faith can catch that hold there. See? God is going to do it. He promised it. No matter how, what the circumstances is, or what anyone else says, God is going to do it, anyhow, ’cause He promised to it. And He does it so simple, that, it—it goes over the—the understanding of the cultured mind who would try to reason about it, “How could it be?”

59 I don’t mean to say that a man now, with a good, strong mind, fine education, that that man won’t understand It. That’s all right, and wonderful, as long as he uses that not to reason, but, that culture that he’s got, to believe God. Let it be converted unto the simplicity of listening to what God has said, and believe It. His culture will help him then.

60 Notice. But when the man tries to reason, “It couldn’t be done,” then that drives him away from God, constantly, all the time, when he’s trying to—to listen to what, his own understanding. See? If you don’t understand, and the Bible says a certain thing, just punctuate It, “Amen.” Just let it go like that.
    63-0630M - The Third Exodus.  Rev. William Marrion Branham

62 Before we can find out what this exodus means, and I’m going to type the exodus now…exodus then, with the exodus now, and watch if it isn’t run exactly parallel. One of them is natural. And the very same things that He did in the natural, He’s typing it again, antityping it in spiritual, a spiritual exodus.

    63-0630M - The Third Exodus. Rev. William Marrion Branham

64 But, first, we must review Genesis to see why they were down in Egypt. Why would God’s people be out of that land? But after all, God promised that, right there where the beginning was, with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, in Palestine, God gave them that land, and said, “This is it.” Oh, then, why would the people not be in the place that God provided them?

65 That’s the question of today, also. God give us a Pentecost. He give us the Book of Acts. He give us the Holy Spirit, to lead us and guide us. He give us a Land. And why are we out of It? Why is the church out of It? Why isn’t the great Christian church today living again like the Book of Acts, bringing forth the same thing? There’s some reason for it.

66 We all know that we’re broke up, and we’re in a terrible condition. And the most terrible condition that—that Christianity has ever lived in, is today. And we’re on the…right on the brim or the brink of—of a great, terrific judgment laying for the church. And before this judgment can happen, God is calling an exodus, just like He did then. The Amorites’ sins was heaped up, so He—He’s calling a—a spiritual exodus. Now let’s go back just a moment, in type, and find out.

67 They went down in Egypt, all because of the jealousy of a brother. That’s the reason that Israel was in Egypt at that time, out of the land. Remember, God’s promises was only as long as they stayed in that land.

    63-0630M - The Third Exodus.  Rev. William Marrion Branham

71 Notice now. Read the story when you can, of Joseph, being born the later of his brethren, next to the last. The spiritual mind will catch that right now. He wasn’t the last child; Benjamin was. But, in the excommunication, watch. Joseph and Benjamin were full-blooded brothers, and the only two that was brothers. Never did Benjamin get the recognition until he met Joseph. And above the rest of them, Benjamin is given a double portion of everything that Joseph give. All right. Notice now, we find that down there, they were…

72 He was taken from his brothers because that he was spiritual. He was a great man, although the humblest of the bunch, the least of the bunch. “And they hated him without a cause.” They should not have hated him. They should have respected him. Because, why did they hate him? Because he was a brother? Not exactly that. They hated him because that God dealt with him more than He did the rest of them. See? He give him a—a—a—a spiritual understanding. He could interpret dreams, perfectly. And he could foretell things that would come to pass, perfectly, just exactly the way they were. And he—and he didn’t pull no punches.

73 He saw the—the dream of those sheaves bowing before his sheaves, and his brothers then got angry with him. Said, “I guess, then, you little holy-roller,” in other words, “we’ll have to bow down before you someday?” But that’s the way it happened. See? How were those great big giants ever bow before that little, insignificant fellow standing there? But they did it, they sure did, and pleaded for mercy. But he hadn’t come in power, yet, you see. He was only then just in the child form.

74 And then we find out, by doing this, that Joseph was taken from among his brethren, the denominations, and set out to himself. See? His brothers, all in the land. And then there come such a great thing. We realize that Israel…as long as they dwelt in their dwelling place, and kept up. Now, that’s one good thing, to stay in the place. Positionally, that’s right. But, they got rid of the Spirit.

75 The fundamentals, today, positionally knows what they are, by intellectual conception of the Bible, but there’s no Spirit. They’ve rejected Joseph, turned Him out. They wanted nothing to do with It. “It’s a bunch of holy-rollers. It’s a…We want nothing to do with It.” They’ve excommunicated Him, sold Him out, to the world. They were out of their fellowship.

76 Now, by doing that, they were taken out of place, taken down into Egypt, later on.

77 Now, the story of this jealous brothers is certainly of great comparison with the spiritual side of it today. We—we all are aware of that, that it’s pure jealousy, not pure. It’s old, dirty, filthy jealousy. See? There’s no purity in jealousy. See? It’s nothing but filthy jealousy. When, they see the same Bible, and the nature of the same God that wrote the Bible, vindicating Himself, and then turn That down without a reason. Pure…Well, not pure. As I said, it’s dirty jealousy. Watching God heal the sick, raise up the dead, the same God that lived in the days of the apostles! The same Gospel that they wrote, for this spiritual journey, is the same God that does the same thing. So they’re nothing but jealousy, has excommunicated, “And we’ll not have It among our people.” See? Run them off!

78 They thought, the brethren, that they would never have use for a man like that, so, “Why not just get rid of him?”

79 That’s what, same thing has happened today. They think, that, “Because that our churches has become intellectual, that we got the best-dressed crowds, the biggest organization, the most smartest ministers, that we have no use of the Holy Spirit in the way that It was back there.” That, they are full. In other words, actions speaks louder than words: That their seminaries, and their…the brain of their—their being, and their coming together and—and discussing this thing, are more able, with their own intellectual minds, to set a Church in order, better than what the Holy Spirit could do it. So, they don’t need It any longer. “It’s Something that we don’t need today. It’s, the days of that is passed.” Now, isn’t that just right? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] “We don’t need the Holy Spirit to heal the sick. We got doctors. We don’t need the Holy Spirit to speak with tongues. We’re all intelligent people.” And when you do, you take, right from your framework, the Lifeline.

    63-0630M - The Third Exodus. Rev. William Marrion Branham

88 And the Church has to do the same thing; get out of that group of rejecters, over into the promise, before Messiah can ever be manifested before them. You see it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] The Life of the Messiah, manifested, making a Church ready, a Bride.

89 A woman marry a man, and disagreeing with him, it would be some kind of a—a fuss, continually. But when a man and his wife, his girlfriend, his espoused, when they are in perfect harmony, like one soul and one mind, because they’re going to be one flesh.

90 Then, when the Church can get in such harmony with God, until the manifestation of the Bridegroom is manifested in the Bride, because they’re going to be one! Oh, what a great lesson. All right.

    63-0630M - The Third Exodus.   Rev. William Marrion Branham

97 Now, we find out that all this has took place, because, waited. Revivals: the Methodists, the Lutheran, the Baptists, the Campbellites, and—and all different ones. They’ve had great revivals. The Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, Pentecostals, all had great revivals. But the great exodus hasn’t come. Why? God told Abraham He’d keep him in the land right then, but the—the iniquity of the Amorites wasn’t yet full. And God has waited, patiently. Them people, trying to figure out, they can see the Scripture run right into something. Run right into something, they said, “This is the day. This is the time.” But you fail to understand that the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet fulfilled.

98 Four hundred years they would journey down there in Egypt, and be brought out. But they actually stayed four hundred and forty years, because of the rejection of the prophet. They had to suffer another, about forty years down there in the wilderness, before God brought them out. Moses was out in the wilderness forty years before he ever returned back to deliver them, you see. Forty years went overtime, lapsed, because that they rejected the message.

    63-0630M - The Third Exodus.  Rev. William Marrion Branham

114 There’s coming an exodus, where God will show who is who; where the Church Itself, the Bride of Jesus Christ, will be exodus-ed out, into the Land that’s promised. “In My Father’s House are many mansions, in this place.” You don’t have to go There and fight like they did. It’s already prepared. If this earthly tabernacle dwelling be dissolved, we have one already waiting, “That where I am, there ye will be also.” The great exodus at hand!

115 Watch how God did that exodus, what He…what preparations He made, and study just a minute, then look at today. All right. Notice, before this exodus, “There raised up a—a pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph.” See? A pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph. “Didn’t know Joseph.” What was Joseph represented? The spiritual part in this spiritual exodus.

    63-0630M - The Third Exodus. Rev. William Marrion Branham

119 “There was a pharaoh who raised up, who did not know Joseph.” And that was the beginning of the beginning. That was the beginning of the exodus. And when that thing begin to form, under a—a political power, begin to form, God begin to get ready. The iniquity of the Amorites was fulfilled. The time that He promised Abraham was fulfilled, and the time of deliverance was at hand.

120 And God permitted a pharaoh to raise up, who knew not Joseph, and Rameses was born. And right after Seti come Rameses. And Rameses was that one who knew not the blessings of Joseph. And—and he didn’t know what the spiritual side was. He was only a political genius, that he could take Ethiopia and all the rest of the countries, under military might. And that’s all he knew, was the—the military might.
    63-0630M - The Third Exodus. Rev. William Marrion Branham

260 God chose, in the days of the exodus, He called out a group. And out of that group, I want you to notice something, He only got two that went to the promised land. What did He choose to take them out by? Politics? Organization? He chose a prophet, with a supernatural sign of a Pillar of Fire, that the people wouldn’t be mistaken. What the prophet said was the Truth. And God come down, in a Pillar of Fire, and vindicated Himself, showed His Word. That right? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] That’s what He brought, His first exodus. His second exodus…
