1 What does "Message of the hour" mean? It is about that I want to speak today. But before that, I have several notes. He who conducts the public confession must be spiritual. Because in case of opposition and other, he has the last word like the referee on the pitch.
2 And regarding interventions on confessions, one intervenes in the congregation when this intervention edifies all the assembly. If not, one can advise his Brother after the service. If the regular interventions of a Brother do not edify the assembly, let him keep silent forever.
3 Also, I have just got the English version of Darby, the version of 1884 and I went straight to see what is said in Revelation 12:18 and I found that there is no verse 18 to Revelation 12 and the first verse of Revelation 13 is: …
4 Allow me to read Revelation 13:1: "And I stood upon the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads names of blasphemy." Which is translated as: « Et je me tins sur le sable de la mer ; et je vis monter de la mer une bête qui avait dix cornes et sept têtes, et sur ses cornes dix diadèmes, et sur ses têtes des noms de blasphème ». There is nowhere a verse 18 to Revelation 12 nor "It stood upon the sand of the sea…" as King James, Louis Segond and others claim. And before I had seen that I said here that it was rather: "And I stood upon the sand of the sea. and I saw … rising out of the sea..." and I said so because it’s the Spirit that is in me who is the author of the Bible. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
5 Well. What does "Message of the hour" mean? It is about that I want to speak this morning.
6 Well. One day, God sent a man to mankind. That man was Noah. What did he say in his preaching? I don’t know it. Moses did not know it! Jeremiah, Samuel, Isaiah, William Branham, John Wesley and all the prophets did not know it!
7 Why therefore did not God, through Moses or one of the prophets, reveal what Noah said? They did not do it because that was not necessary! When Moses was preaching, Noah’s Message was worthless for him because there was another generation, another lifestyle, another vision, another mission … The book of Noah’s Message, the Jews in Egypt did not need it. And today, May 14, 2006, we don’t need it... [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
8 Thus, there were Moses, Samuel, Isaiah… Well, after Isaiah, there was Jeremiah. And while Jeremiah was prophesying, how many books could the Bible of the Jews contain? … [Ed: The congregation says, "23 books"]. 23 books! Very good, I can see that you are in the Spirit of the preaching. From Genesis to Isaiah, that makes 23 books.
9 Well. The Jews already had 23 books when Jeremiah was prophesying. Yet, those 23 books the Jews did not need them if they had, all the time, obeyed God. But notice however that the most important book of all the prophetic books was a certain book of the Message of Jeremiah. And this book was fought against, burnt once by King Jehoiakim, ridiculed like Jeremiah himself.
10 Jeremiah himself was alive and hated by all. In those days, the living Word of God was contained in a book and that book for the elect had much more value than the book of Samuel, the book of Exodus, the book of Isaiah, and so on. And that is what the Branhamists do not understand!
11 Be it today or in twenty years, or in forty years, or even in two hundred years, the Message of William Branham will always be the Word of God like the book of Haggai, Zephaniah but only, it is worthless and it can no longer give Life to anyone! The book of William Branham is the Gospel of another generation. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
12 Let’s suppose we were living in the year 606 before our era, with that Bible of 23 books going from Genesis to Isaiah, what will the will of God be? The will of God for us would not be the book of Exodus, or the book of Esther, or the book of 2 Samuel but the book of a certain Jeremiah still alive on the earth and setting himself up as a prophet messenger and declaring that his book had the same prophetic value as any of the 23 books of the Bible. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. In those days, the Bible was the 23 books.
13 People said to Jeremiah, "You said that our synagogues were nets of Satan, we accepted. You said that our Bible versions were fetishes, we accepted. You said that our Holy Spirit was the devil, we accepted but this time, we have seen that you are the antichrist, you’ve unveiled yourself! …". And Jeremiah told them, "The prophets, whose books you have in your Bible, were treated this way by your fathers and that is no surprise to me if you do not understand me!".
14 And while those ones were speaking that way before Jeremiah, others were there, with tears in their eyes saying in their heart, "Oohh God! You be blessed! Because it is today that I realise the value and the goal of the Bible I carry. It is today that I see and even the Message that I’ve believed since, it is today that I understand what it is! …" [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. Jeremiah told them, "Your Bible is old history! If somebody believes in me and follows me without having the Bible, he is saved because I am the light of the world and the bread which has come down from Heaven for you!" [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. They said, "But this man is mad! Why do we waste our time listening to him? He wants to make himself the equal of our Brother Isaiah!".
15 Notice that when Jeremiah was on the scene on the earth, the generation of Isaiah had just passed, 31 years ago, but people, moreover Jews, acted as if they had no notion of a prophet. You see? Between Isaiah and Jeremiah, there are approximately 71 years, that is, a generation plus 31 years.
16 Jeremiah told them, "You are rejecting me but know that the work of God is to recognize him that He has sent!". And today, him that He has sent, it’s me Jeremiah that you are fighting. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. They retorted, "Him that God has sent is Moses!". One of them said, "We are not rejecting you but don’t say that you are the only one who has the truth!"
17 Another one said, "And show us where your name: "Jeremiah" is written in the Bible like Moses and Isaiah so we may believe because the Bible says that false prophets will come". Jeremiah said to them, "I am alone against all your great number of prophets whose photographs are posted on walls and you think that I am false while the Bible says that they are the false prophets who will be numerous!"…
18 Others said again to Jeremiah, "We do want to believe in your Message but the Bible, does our 23-book Bible confirm your Message? Show us your Message through our Bible! And we believe in nothing except what is written in the Bible! Only the Bible because Moses said that false prophets would come."
19 Jeremiah did not seek the confirmation of his Message in any of the 23 books before him. Not in the book of Samuel, or the book of Leviticus, or in the book of Isaiah, or in the book of a prophet who came before him.
20 If you think that the purpose of a Bible is to confirm Messages or to support the preachings of the churches then you have not understood anything of Christianity! You see?
21 Give each book back to its generation and you will see that: "bible institute", "pastoral school" and all that does not mean anything, and the world does not need them! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. Give each book back to its generation and you will see that you are naked! This is madness!
22 When you see in the Bible: "Book of Isaiah", understand that as: " The book of the generation of Prophet Isaiah "or "book of Prophet Isaiah for his generation".
23 The current Christianity has missed its mission! You see? Reject the prophet of your time and do whatever you want, put the photograph of Jesus, Peter, Mary, Mary Magdalene in your living room, hang crosses on the wall… but you are an impostor! In the eyes of God, you are only a madman! God sees you as one sees a madman, with worthless bags and luggage!
24 They told Jeremiah, "Are you sinless for you to speak to us in that manner? Are you the saviour now? Have you taken the place of Moses? Is it in your name that everything is done now"? Jeremiah told them, "Do you know the life of the prophets and messengers of whom you carry the books in your Bible? You claim yourselves of such and such prophet while you did not know them on the earth. They even died before your birth. You are sons of the devil. At the judgment, those of whom they are really the fathers, when they see them, they will recognize them but you, you are grafts, bats! You are sons of the devil". [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
25 And they were seeking to kill Jeremiah while what Jeremiah was telling them was the truth. And it is the same thing today. The one who loves you, it is I who tell you the truth. I who seek to lead the Catholics, Protestants, evangelicals and Branhamists to Christ. You can only be saved by the living prophet of your time. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
26 Can you go shopping at the supermarket with an old banknote? A banknote of 1960? You see? It is a true banknote, but its time has passed! It is removed from the market! Even if you have it in your hands, even if this banknote is a true one, you cannot go shopping with this banknote today. And it is the same for the Bible and Salvation. Everything you do on the basis of the Bible, it is the devil from one end to the other. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
27 When Nebuchadnezzar was coming to destroy Jerusalem, the priests and prophets proclaimed Esther fasts, Jehoshaphat fasts… instead of coming to Jeremiah, the prophet of their time. And they even made King Zedekiah, a pagan like this, fast! They did all they could to dress King Zedekiah like a lamb of God, they called him Solomon, Moses, Joseph, David… and all the names of good kings whom Israel had. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. You see? A pagan king!
28 And all the false prophets and priests wrote in their books, "King Zedekiah walked in the way of David and he did not turn aside out of it, neither on the left nor on the right…" But Jeremiah wrote in his book "King Zedekiah did not follow the way of David…" Amen! And it was exactly thus with Ahab. You see?
29 Ahab offered many holocausts like Solomon and the prophets said, "Jehovah says that you are David, go up and fight today like David!" And the same prophets prophesied on his wife, Jezebel a Zidonian, saying, "Jehovah says that you are Esther!"
30 And after Elijah, God sent Micah, a small prophet who did not have as much influence as Elijah but he had a special feature, God revealed to him the evil spirits that used the other prophets. And Micah, this small prophet who came after Elijah gave only one prophecy to Ahab saying, "If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken to me" You see? "If his throne becomes stronger at peace then Jehovah did not speak to me at all". That’s all! It is the only sign! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
31 Well, let’s come back to John the Baptist now… I’m going to take the case of the Lord Jesus Christ to go faster. Well, when the Lord Jesus Christ was preaching, the Bible contained 39 books, going from Genesis to Malachi. For the sons of the devil, till the end of the world, there will be only 39 books. And yet, the living Word of God for the elect in that time was the Words of the Lord Jesus Christ. When the Lord Jesus Christ was preaching, the book that was valuable to the elect was not contained in their 39-book Bible. You see? That is what we are confronted with today.
32 If the world ended at the time of the prophet Isaiah, Jews would not know that the Bible would one day go beyond 23 books. If the world ended with John the Baptist, Jews would not know that the Bible would go one day beyond 39 books. And mankind does not know that at the judgment it will see itself before more than 66 books.
33 And in Revelation 20:12, John recognized the books of the prophets that had come before the Lord Jesus Christ and he also recognized the Message of the Lord Jesus Christ as being the book of Life of his time. Books that were books of the prophets from Adam were opened and another book was opened which was the book of the prophet of his time, that is to say, of the Lord Jesus Christ. And for this generation at the judgment of the white throne, books will be opened, the book of Matthew, the books of Jeremiah, Isaiah, and so on, the books of all the prophets who came before me will be opened and another book will be opened which is that of prophet Kacou Philippe, the book of Life in your generation. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. "Books were opened and another book was opened…". You see?
34 But Daniel 7 says, "thrones were set ... And the judgment was set, and the books were opened... ". Daniel saw the final judgment, the Spirit of Daniel entered into the counsel of God’s judgment. Daniel means: "He who judges for God". And I, son of Kacou Daniel, I have been led several times to speak about the final judgment and what it will be. It is the Spirit of Daniel. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
35 Each generation will have one book for the judgment; each generation, one book; each generation, one book! It was not only the unknown tongue that Daniel saw but Daniel saw all these things and as his Spirit comes back on earth, the earth receives what it is of it! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
36 Ladies and gentlemen, put down your old beliefs and your intellectual luggage and your reasonings and you will see that it is the Spirit of Elijah, Daniel and Jesus Christ that are working through this ministry of Matthew 25:6 without you being explained anything! What will save you or condemn you is in the prophetic Message of your time! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
37 In the Gospel of Noah are the judgment and the redemption for his generation only. At the judgment of the white throne, Korah and Dathan will not be asked what attitude they had had before the Message of Noah. Tommy Osborn and his group will not be asked what attitude they had had when Jews were sawing Isaiah into pieces. The generation of William Branham will not be asked what attitude it had had when Prophet Kacou Philippe was preaching on earth.
38 In Acts 19, if those disciples of John the Baptist had died before they met Paul, they were saved without the baptism of the Holy Spirit and with their baptism of repentance. But as they met Paul, if they had refused to be re-baptised, they would have gone straight to hell! You see? I believe that you understand! So explain it to the Branhamists! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
39 Every generation will come forth before the Message of its time. You see? If a Bible were to be presented in the Millennium, it would have more than 66 books and the prophetic book of God for this generation would be inserted in it. Thus, from 1906 to 2002, two books: the one of William Seymour and then the one of William Branham. And therefore, from 1965 to 2002, no book and since 2002, the book of Prophet Kacou Philippe. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. It is the book of the Bible for our generation. It is the book of Life of the Lamb for our generation.
40 You have heard that it is the book containing the Message of a prophet that enlightens the Bible but it is more than that. God does not send a Message to enlighten the Bible! The book of Kacou Philippe is the book of the Bible for our generation. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. Oh! glorious Message! Precious light!
41 The Bible has the same value as the history of the Church of the nations speaking of John Huss, Martin Luther, John Wesley and others. Thus I cannot believe in what Martin Luther did in 1520 and be saved. And if one can believe in a past Message to be saved, in a forty-year-ago past Message to be saved, I will believe in that of Moses, Jeremiah or Isaiah as the Pharisees did before the Lord Jesus! I’d better believe in Noah, Moses, Isaiah or one of the prophets that the Bible has itself authenticated.
42 And if in 2002, after having rejected the midnight Cry, one can comfortably set himself in William Branham’s seat and be saved, then at the judgment, the Lord Jesus Christ has to apologise to the Pharisees. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
43 Even the devil confesses that we are at midnight and how will a son of God not be aware of it? Ewald Frank says that we are at midnight and that his circular letters have to be regarded as the midnight Cry. I emphasize that he started publishing circular letters since 1966. Alexis Barilier says that, "The midnight Cry is emitted by the Lord Himself through several servants of God…"
44 At the judgment, when the generation of Amos or Jeremiah comes, should it be judged with Noah’s Message or William Branham’s? Is that possible while they did not know Noah or William Branham? And how can you Catholics, Protestants, evangelicals or Branhamists, claim to belong to Jesus Christ?
45 You claim to belong to Jesus Christ while Jesus Christ Himself said that He had been sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and in Matthew 23:34 to 35, He promised prophets to the nations. You reject his prophets and you claim to belong to Him as Jews rejected the prophets that God sent to them to claim to belong to Moses.
46 According to Revelation 20:12, at the judgment of the white throne, which book will God judge you with? With Jeremiah’s book? Are you of the generation of Jeremiah? Do you know Pashur? Do you know Baruch, the son of Nerijah? Do you know Jehoiakim? Do you know Zedekiah?
47 At the judgment of the white throne, God will ask you, "When you were on earth, was the leader of Israel Zedekiah or Ariel Sharon"? You see? Stop seducing yourselves! Did you support or oppose Jeremiah in his afflictions? You see? You have nothing to do with the generations of these books of Jeremiah, Isaiah or others.
48 Like in the days of Noah, Abel and Enoch, Jeremiah’s book could not even be added to the Bible and God was going to achieve his goal today. Be it the book of Matthew, Luke or others, it is the same! But at the judgment, there is a book that will be opened and when you hear names like Tommy Osborn, Ewald Frank, Kacou Philippe, then that will mean something to you. You see?
49 When you hear the preaching on the papacy according to Daniel 11 or the final seduction according to 1 Kings 19, you will say, "I heard that on the earth!" But a man of Noah’s generation will say, "But what’s that? Who is speaking"? You see? He will not know but you know that it is the voice of Prophet Kacou Philippe.
50 Similarly, you also, when you see Noah's Ark you will say, "But what is this large boat? It must be a fishing boat or a cargo ship!" But somebody of Noah’s generation will exclaim, "Oh! It is Noah's Ark!" You see?
51 In the beginning was already the Lord Jesus Christ, the living Word. Thus, the Message of Jeremiah is living Jesus Christ for the generation of Jeremiah. The Message of Noah is living Jesus Christ for the generation of Noah. The Message of Amos is living Jesus Christ for the generation of Amos.
52 Jesus Christ, Himself, preaching in the streets of Jerusalem, is living Jesus Christ for the generation of Peter, John, James, Mary Magdalene, Elizabeth, Susanna and all those who lived in their time. And today, the midnight Cry is living Jesus Christ for our generation. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
53 The solution to all the acts of Satan in the churches and the lives of people today is not in a book of the Bible but in the book of Prophet Kacou Philippe.
54 You say, "I see too many dreams, I feel some burning or fire sensations like Joseph Coleman, I feel this, I feel that..." The solution is neither in any of the 66 books of the Bible, nor in the Message of William Branham but in the book of Prophet Kacou Philippe. The most important book of the Bible for this generation is the book of Prophet Kacou Philippe. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
55 Well. The Branhamist Joseph Coleman feels some burning sensations from his head to his toes. Pins and needles sensations too. You see? In the beginning, when he felt those fire sensations, he certainly considered them good as that is the case of a multitude of people, saying that it is the fire of the Holy Spirit. But when the thing became worrying, he asked his disciples to pray for him!
56 Yet, if you, the master, are possessed with demons, how will the disciples be able to deliver you? Yet, those fire sensations are a physical manifestation of the spirit of divination. You see? Even if he dies before he hears the midnight Cry, he is guilty before God because he had to seek the living prophet of his time.
57 And now, if a man of the generation of Moses comes and stands in the lot of Prophet Kacou Philippe, it is like an Englishman among the Swahili. Did you notice what happened at the opening of the fifth seal? The Jews in time of grace ask God to avenge their blood on the inhabitants of the earth. And on that, one day, Ewald Frank asked William Branham if God still imputes the sin of the six million Jews killed under the Nazi regime to Germany? The answer is simple! If God imputed to all the Jews the blood of Jesus shed by Jews 1900 years ago, without any exception, then the crime of the Germans rests on Ewald Frank and all the Germans. And if a son of God in Germany hears me, he will say, "O God! Have mercy on us!". [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
58 You say, "Brother Philippe, there are churches who did not agree with that Nazi regime!" Yes! There were some Jews also who did not agree with the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus but they were all massacred or deported in year 70 without any exception. Those churches had to oppose the massacres of those Jews at the risk of their life. What Ewald Frank should ask William Branham is what Germany must do in the face of this curse. You see?
59 Not all Jews crucified the Lord Jesus, but they were all deported. You see? He distracts people, he even leads astray and puts people’s conscience to sleep, on insignificant things that the Message of William Branham had gone past! If it is not a banal thing that occurred somewhere that he speaks of, it is of Islam if not of Rome or Catholicism. Unimportant things! Outdated things! You see?
60 He that has received power to mislead the elect if that were possible is Ewald Frank! Ewald Frank and William Branham’s children are today, the two seals of the physical manifestation of Satan who receive authority to animate the image of the Branhamist dragon. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. You see? Oh! That came like a prophecy. Amen!
61 If you think that everything that is in such and such a book of the Bible helps you have a good position before the Message of your time, that’s very good because that is the greatest goal of the Bible. With the Bible, you must know what God does in each generation. How a prophet comes, how he is treated and how everything happens, that is the purpose of the Bible.
62 But if you think that the Message of such a Jewish prophet is what you must accept to be saved while living a good life, you would better think again! Reread your Bible and you will see that the Message of such a prophet to the Jews is different from the Message of such other prophet to come, because it is not the same dispensation, it is not the same generation, it is not even the same king… You see?
63 How can God send prophets to Israel and condemn Israel for their behaviour towards his prophets and you men of the nations, will you be saved simply by believing in ancient history? But you also, to be saved, God must send you prophets and God will see if you will not reject his prophets, persecute his prophets, imprison his prophets, or kill his prophets.
64 But what does God want to show to mankind through the Bible? A single and same Message: "RECOGNIZE YOUR DAY AND ITS MESSAGE!". [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. Thanks to what happened to the Jews, every generation of the nations must be able to identify, with the Bible, the true prophet of its time. Here is the purpose of the Bible.
65 But if the Bible does not help you recognize your day of visitation and the Message of God to your generation then it is useless to have It. The goal of the Bible is not that you believe in the Message of Malachi or Zephaniah or the Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth to be saved. You see? Believing that you can be saved by basing your faith on a prophet who is already dead, or on the Bible or on the Quran, is satanism. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
66 Prophet Malachi, that was 2400 years ago. And if it is a question of believing in a historical Jesus Christ who walked in the streets of Jerusalem, all the churches would be pure of his blood. Each one would say, "If I were over there in Israel, I would not join the Jews to crucify Him".
67 But from generation to generation, God has always tried mankind through Jesus Christ, living in Word as in the streets of Jerusalem. You see?
68 In the days of Prophet Elijah, you’d better believe and follow Elijah and ignore all that the Bible said before him rather than following all the law and the prophets of before Elijah and rejecting Elijah. In the days of the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d better believe and follow the Lord Jesus Christ and ignore all that Moses and the prophets said before him, rather than rejecting the Lord Jesus. And that is what the Pharisees did not understand over there and that is what the churches do not understand on the whole face of the earth today. God said to Elijah, "Yet I have left you seven thousand whose knees that have not bowed unto Baal". Could somebody say, "I did not follow Elijah but my knees have not bowed unto Baal either"? No! That is not possible. Either you follow Elijah or you follow the devil.
69 And today, either you follow Prophet Kacou Philippe, or you follow the devil. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. You cannot be saved outside the living prophet of your time. It is as if in the days of Noah, somebody could be saved outside Noah’s ark. That is not possible.
70 Well, let’s stand up now. This morning how many people would like to accept this Message? Please, simply raise your hands so we can pray for you. If you believe this Message, if you believe that this is the fulfilment of Matthew 25:6, simply raise your hand. May God bless you! May God bless you! Amen! Amen!
