From Hear Ye Him
The New Language
Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.
Not so much on the Sabbath solar day, not so much on Sunday, the resurrection day, but the never-ending day of the Lord. For the word day means light. God is light, in Him there is no darkness, and therefore He is all Day, the day of the Lord! See? Not on some Saturday, Sunday, Monday or so, but the Lord’s Day is the light in Him and from Him. For He is all together light.
So, John had been translated by the Spirit into the Lord’s day. That is the only way to reach that day, the day which comes as a thief in the night, the day which no man knows when it shall come in.
Notice, that day is eternal light, and therefore it is and has always been there! All you need to come to it is translation by the Spirit; yes, all you need is spiritual revelation. John was taken in the Spirit into the Lord’s day, then he heard the trumpet sounding.
One thing that you should not miss is that this book is announced by the voice of the trumpet, the trumpet of Jubilee which proclaims freedom. Any time John heard the voice of God in this book, it was as a trumpet. Therefore, this book holds the message that shall fully be declared by the trumpet of the Lord. What is that trumpet?
When we speak our vocal cords vibrates producing sound, and that sound is in form of ripples of air. without air sound can’t be produced. Now what about God? Does He depend on air to speak? Certainly not! Then what is the nature of His word? for it is not sound ripples through air, for air only exists within the atmosphere of the earth.
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Joh 6:63
God’s presence is filled with His eternal Spirit, and when God speaks, His voice is picked by the Spirit that is in Him and around Him, so His voice is projected and propagated as Spirit the way light moves. Light needs no medium to travel through, thus God’s Word similarly needs no medium to travel through. For His words are Spirit. What kind of voice produces such words? Trumpet voice, not vocal cords, but trumpet-like voice.
Why trumpet-like voice? It means God’s voice is as clear and perfectly audible like a trumpet voice. No hoarseness, no faintness, no swallowing of words, but all His words are as clear as day.
Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Genesis holds the mystery of the beginning, and thus Revelation holds the mystery of the ending. So, He is the beginning, the Genesis of all things. That means the origin of all things. Beyond Genesis He is there as the Alpha, the true beginning, the first beginning, the origin of all things. This word beginning means origin. So, as we read, “In the beginning was the Word,” we think of time, but how can that which is eternal be held by that which is not eternal? No! the real meaning hear is a state not time. What? That is in the Origin was the Word; in the source of all things was the Word. In the place from where all stem from, was the Word. See?
In some language the phrase “in the beginning” is rendered, “Musinonokho”, meaning the source of immeasurable and unsearchable treasures of riches that still multiplies endlessly! That is Sinonokho sianenekha – that is the exceedingly rich source and origin of fruitfulness which cannot be diminished in any way. Thus, Musinonokho liabamo Linenekha – In the beginning was the Word. The Word here is rendered as Linenekha, that means that which is exceedingly fruitful. From that word linenekha we find the origin of the Kiswahili word Neno. The word (Neno), is that which is fruitful beyond measure.
So, in the beginning does not mean time, but it means within something which is the source of all things, and that something (Sinonokho) is God, an eternal living fruitful treasure that cannot be diminished in any way. So, in that language they say, Wele ali Sinonokho! That means God is the source that is rich beyond measure having all things and the treasure thereof cannot be diminished in any way. But in Him was the Word, linenekha, meaning that which is exceedingly fruitful, and that is His only begotten Son full of grace and truth. So, they say, “Omwana wa Wele ali linenekha lia Wele!” Omwana here means that which buds or cries, thus the statement means the Son of God is the fruitfulness of God that is without measure!
Why am I going into all that? I mean that we need a new language, a pure language, a true language through which all that seems mysterious becomes as clear as light. Till we receive that language sealed in the seventh seal, we shall still see in part, hear in part, and understand in part.
The language of God has seven distinct vowel sounds, not like man who has five vowels in his language, certainly lower than angels who have six vowel sounds in their language. But when that which is perfect has come that which is in part shall be done away.
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. Zephaniah 3:9-10
There is a wonderful promise which people have never realized. Mysteries are held and conveyed through words. These words make up a language. Whatever kind of mysteries makes whatever kind of words and that makes a language. According the language of a people so are their nature and manners. One’s nature will never go beyond his language, the language in which he was born. For him to rise higher than that he needs a change of language, the old language which makes for him a perverse tongue should be destroyed and a new language born in him. For as the man thinketh in his heart so is he! And we think in a language. All human languages are impure, corrupted by devils, hybridized and dead! That why a man in flesh will never rise above carnality. Besides being forgiven, besides being washed, besides being born of water and Spirit, you need a change of language. For the language in which you were born is your life stream, and no matter how much you learn the word and believe all, and walk as close to the bible as you can, being led by the Holy Spirit, there still remains a hair in the biscuit! The language problem! The language barrier between you and God! You can’t hear His word!
All we hear as God’s Word spoken to us is what has been translated into our human language, a, e, i, o, u! that is so limited a language that in it, we only get sketches of the Word!
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. John 5:37
If God spoke to you, you won’t make out anything. All you will hear is some thunder. For He speaks a seven-vowel pure language while you speak your colloquial mother tongue, jargon to begin with! All human beings sound like monkeys when they speak before the angels, what about before God. If you can’t hear nor learn the language of angels, how much less the language of God!
Think about it again. God’s word is in His language, His seven-vowel language which only a trumpet like voice can reproduce. Your voice being as of stringed vibrating instruments can never in the least imitate speaking God’s Word! Your imitation cause laughter! Too colloquial to make any sense! Does a monkey make any sense to you? Too colloquial for you! Neither can a monkey understand your refined language.
This is then the bottom line: no perfection for the human race until we receive that crystal-clear language whose words only a trumpet-like voice can reproduce! And the only way this language can be put in you is by a complete new birth, born perfectly from the Word. The New Testament new birth has only been an earnest, the Old Testament was a shadow, now we are headed for the fullness of New Birth, then automatically our language will be changed, and we shall speak as God speaks.
You speak your mother tongue so easily because you were born in it. So, if you are fully born of the Word you will speak the language of the Word, and obviously by a new tongue, not your colloquial mother tongue of your jargon language!
And in Sabino Canyon, He said, “This is the Third Pull.”
300 And there’s three great things that goes with It. And one unfolded today, or, yesterday; the other one unfolded today; and there’s one thing that I cannot interpret, because it’s in an unknown language. But I stand right there and looked right straight at It. And this is the Third Pull coming up. [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit three times—Ed.] And the Holy Spirit of God…Oh, my!
63-0324e – The Seventh Seal
Rev. William Marrion Branham
There is the final promise out of the seventh seal! Glory to God! A people and their language are exactly the same. In fact, the word language is synonymous with the word people in the Bible. Now the new language is also the new people. Those people are the sons of God to be manifested at the end time. They will speak a language which no colloquial thing can hear! Amen!
Now look,
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. Acts 2:4 -13
Have you ever stopped to think about what language was that which every man on earth could clearly hear? It was that language which was there before the tower of Babel! That is only an earnest of the true Holy Ghost language, the language of God. Till you are born in that language that is when all things will be clear, and all mysteries will vanish away. You will speak as He speaks, hear as He hears, understand as He understands and know Him as He knows you! It takes the perfect language whose voice is as a trumpet; that is as clear as a trumpet! When? When the trumpet shall sound, not so much upon us but in us! There is the final promise left us clearly by Branham! Let us go forward! Don’t look backwards like frogs, back to 1933, 1947, 1955, 1963, 1965; those are past tense things! Press forward! Fix your eyes on the promises ahead!
Next, let us identify the exact location on earth where the message of the New Language will be spearheaded from. Obviously, you might be thinking about America or Europe, but you are all wrong! The scripture does not locate it there! Maybe you think of Israel, the promised land, you know. But you are mistaken!
Let us use a natural indicator first before we point you to the scriptures. Which people in the world have the clearest voice?
“Well,” you say, “Europeans!”
So far from it! As far as north is from south. Their voices are so hoarse, and they speak much through their nose, can hardly catch what they say! Especially as you go more northern. Not abusing them, no please! This is not a place for that! But just to make a point, their voice is like that because of the shape of their mouth and their north, you know they are a bit pressed in.
You say, “certainly Asians then!”
Well, I wish I could agree with you, but it isn’t still. So, I won’t fall for it.
“Well who are these people then?”
Africans of course! Black Africans! The Africans of southern Sahara, there is where you get the clearest voices, closer to that of a trumpet. Now look at the scriptures,
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. Zephaniah 3:9-10
Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, means beyond the nations of Ethiopia, for a river in the Bible means a nation. And Ethiopia here means the Cushite people. Now stand in Palestine where Zephaniah spoke this prophecy from, and look at a land which is beyond the Cushite peoples, which land is that? That is the land beyond Sahara Desert! East, central, west and southern Africa! The land from where the queen of Sheba came from. Jesus says she came from the uttermost parts of the earth, and again he says, the queen of the south, south of Jerusalem, not east please! Theologians who think nothing good could come out of Africa will feign the position of Sheba to be Yemen in Arab. Common sense should tell them that that is neither south of Palestine nor the uttermost parts of the earth! The Shebian kingdom was in the Savana land of Africa, along the rift valleys where the gold of Ophir came from. Ophir in Kiswahili, a bantu language, is Ufa. The rift valley is known as Bonde la Ufa in Kiswahili, and that is the famous Ophir or Uphaz! As clear as day lights?
Now look at the scripture again, “From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.”
As the queen of Sheba brought a great offering to Solomon, so another daughter, the real daughter dispersed out of Babel into this land, will bring an offering to the true Solomon, the greater than Solomon! Who is that daughter? What is her position in heaven? The Bride of the lamb, for she is the true queen of Sheba from African, lower Africa! The four-fold Gospel Africa! The uneducated, uncivilized Africa produces the end time bride, the queen of heaven!
No racism about this, but look, the first Gospel, the Gospel of the Law evangelized mainly Shem’s people, many of them are in Asia. The second Gospel, the New Testament Gospel, evangelized mainly the European race, that is Japheth’s people, then the end time Gospel, the seven-thunder Gospel, is going to be centred on Hamitic races; the pure Hamitic race, unmixed is found in the lower Africa.
The prophets of Israel mainly spoke to the Asian nations, where the elect were at that time, by the power of He who is, who was and is to come. The seven spirits were mainly sent to European peoples, Japheth’s race. There is no mistake about it. So, Africa, behold your Gospel! The seven-thunder full gospel voice is upon you, to call out from among you an elected people whom God will perfect. And your messenger is the first begotten of the dead, who is also the prince of the kings of the earth! The Old Testament was a shadow Gospel by the Thus saith the LORD, the I AM; the New Testament was an earnest Gospel by the seven spirits; therefore no doubt about it, there is the perfect trumpet voice Gospel whose centre will be Africa, and your messenger is Jesus Christ the lamb of God revealed from the seventh seal, the prince of the kings of the earth.
What? The only continent with a horn; a horn means a trumpet! The same means a king! The full revelation of Jesus is the headstone, the horn of your salvation.
Revelation 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Yes, turned to see the trumpet that spoke with him, for the voice was as of a trumpet, the trumpet of the Lord. And thus, John turned to see the trumpet! And there it was! As clear as light! The day of the Lord, the trumpet of the Lord, there it was standing in the midst of the seven lampstands, a new mystery to be revealed at the end time to bring in the day of the Lord.
Revelation 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
That is the trumpet of the Lord! You thought God’s trumpet is a ram’s horn? Nop! He is the son of God, for whomsoever the Son sets free is free indeed, and the trumpet of the Lord announces the final Jubilee, the final freedom, the final liberty. The Son is that trumpet, and the voice is of the Holy Spirit. “My words are Spirit, not mere sound ripples through air.”
Now, let us describe this trumpet to be revealed on the day of the Lord, for if his voice was as a trumpet, then certainly he is the trumpet of the Lord; we don’t expect the trumpet of the Lord to be an instrument like what men use on earth, it must be special and unique.
First, we see with John that he looks like the Son of man dressed in a white garment down to the foot. That white garment is righteousness manifested. It is made from a material called the righteousness of faith. It is also called the garment of salvation. For we are saved by faith in him; he is our righteousness, thus our faith and salvation.
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10
Thus, the garment of salvation goes together with the robe righteousness, the same is called the garment of praise.
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Isaiah 61:3
Now God’s righteousness materializes into a garment, just the same way sheep bears wool and clothes itself with it, so also God is clothed with His righteousness. It materializes from within. In saving us, he gives us that same substance of faith which clothes us in white from within. So, righteousness is real; salvation is real. It is not just a feeling. It is a substance which materializes into garments which clothes you. Without righteousness somebody will be found naked. Nakedness is the lack of righteousness. And the lack of garments means lack of salvation.
Secondly, he is gird about the paps with a golden girdle. What does this stand for in reality? Spiritual clothing is not like natural ones, meant just to cover the body, but each represents a reality somewhere. So, what does the golden girdle stand for?
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. Isaiah 11:5
The girdle of the lions is also righteousness, but the girdle of his reins (paps) is faithfulness. That means faithfulness from his heart makes this girdle for him. Thus, if someone is not faithful, he won’t have such a girdle for his paps. And if one does not have righteousness within the heart, then he won’t have the girdle for his loins. What is happening? He is becoming naked. So, first by faith in the word of promise you receive righteousness and faithfulness in your heart. Then next, you stand firm with that word to be able to keep these garments, lest the robber takes it from you.
