In that Book is contained all the divine secret, the great secret of the Second Coming of Christ as Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords, in His Reclaiming Work.
Therein is also contained the Eternal Name of God and the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ; therein are contained all the mysteries of the Kingdom of God; and, above all, the mystery that caused silence in Heaven for half an hour, which is the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords. That mystery is hidden in that Book.
Now, that great mystery on this planet Earth no one knew, nor in Heaven either; but when that Seventh Seal was opened in Heaven, there it was. It was opened in Heaven. It was not opened on Earth, but in Heaven.
When it was opened in Heaven, on Earth no one knew; but it caused silence in Heaven. Because when it was opened there in Heaven, everybody knew what it was, everybody saw that Seventh Seal opened; but there was silence: no worship, no word was spoken; nobody said: “The Seventh Seal is such thing,” nobody said: “The Seventh Seal, I see it”; nobody said anything, it was just silence.
And then the other visions given to John by the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ continued; but in Heaven they knew, and John the beloved disciple also knew, because he was there present seeing all those things.
PROMISES AND PROPHECIES IN THE GREAT CATHEDRAL TENT

And now, regarding the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, her end will also be glorious: It will, the glory of God, be in the midst of His Church in the Last Day, in the fulfillment of the Great Tent Cathedral that was shown to the Reverend William Branham, where the Third Pull (called by the Reverend William Branham and the Angel that appeared to him and guided him) will be a reality. Page 471 of the book of The Seals, it says:1
“298 A Voice come, said, ‘You can’t teach Pentecostal babies supernatural things.’ Said, ‘Now, let them alone!’
299 And just then He picked me up. He took me up, and sit me way up high, to where a meeting was going on. Looked like a tent or a cathedral, of some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box, like, little place over in the side (that is, a little room).”
In a giant tent, a little room 20 x 12, or 12 x 20 (12 feet by 20 feet: 12 wide by 20 long), approximately, would look so tiny inside a Great Tent Cathedral as he saw in that vision.
Now, remember that the promise belongs to the one who materializes it, the one who fulfills it. There are many promises in the Bible, but… and we say as we sing: “All the promises of the Lord are mine.” They are everyone’s; but the one who materializes it, crystallizes it, it is his, it becomes a reality in his life.
“And I seen that Light was talking to somebody, above me, that Light that you see there on the picture. It whirled away from me, like that, and went over that tent. And said, ‘I’ll meet you there.’ And said, ‘This will be the Third Pull, and you won’t tell It to nobody.’”
“You will not tell anyone.” Why and what for? So that there will be no imitations. Although imitations can always come out, but they will not be able to make a complete imitation, they will fail in something.
“And in Sabino Canyon…”
This was when the sword fell into his hand; of course, not a literal sword of this Earth, but it is in a vision and it is a sword from another dimension; and the sword represents the Word of God.
“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.”
A language unknown to Reverend William Branham, so it was not English. The Thunders utter their voices consecutively, and it is in an unknown language; therefore, “unknown” to Reverend William Branham, not English then. And the Thunders of the Mighty Angel descending from Heaven in Revelation 10, is the Voice of Christ, of the Messiah, of the Holy Spirit, speaking in the Last Day to His Church and in the midst of His Church, and then to all Christianity and all mankind.
That will be the Voice of Christ speaking consecutively in the end time. Therefore, there has to be a stage of the Church, let’s say an age, a stage; and the seven past ones among the gentiles are over. Then, we pass, we go up then (as it has been done, going up from one age to another), we go up to an eternal age: The Age of the Cornerstone, the age for the Coming of the Messiah, the age for the Coming of the Cornerstone, Jesus Christ, the Stone that the builders rejected, which has become the Head of the Cornerstone. It is that which crowns the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: The Coming of the Lord in the Last Day.
“But I stand right there and looked right straight at It. And this is the Third Pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God (in other words, that what comes is the Holy Spirit of God carrying out the Work relevant to the Last Day, it will be a Work of the Holy Spirit)… Oh, my!
That’s the reason all Heaven was silent.”
That is the Coming of Christ to His Church, to give her the faith to be changed and taken with Him to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And now we can see how the Third Pull, that manifestation where the power of God in all His fullness will be manifested, we find that it will be in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision. There will be a Tent Cathedral, in which all these promises of a Great Tent Cathedral and the manifestation of God in all His fullness will be fulfilled; and then the latter glory, for the Last Day, will be greater than the first, than what it was in the time of the apostles.
Therefore, in the restoration of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, there will come the crowning of His Church with the glory of God, the glory of Christ, manifested in all His fullness.
When the Jews see that, they will say: “This is it and this is the one we are waiting for.”
Therefore, the Vision of the Great Tent Cathedral has a purpose with the Church-Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, those who are going to be transformed; and the foolish virgins, of the parable of the ten virgins that the Lord gave… for the chapter… I will give you the exact chapter: chapter 25 of Matthew, verses 1 to 13. And at the end it says:
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
And in Luke it says: “Pray that you may be counted worthy to avoid all these things that shall come upon the Earth, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke, chapter 21, verses 25 to 36.
And also in chapter 18, verse 8, it says: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on Earth?”
In other words, for this end time we have great promises from God, which will be fulfilled in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ for the blessing of Christianity, Judaism and all people who will awaken to reality [Ephesians 5:14]:
“Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”
Since the human being sinned in the Garden of Eden (Adam and Eve) he died to eternal life, and had only temporary life left; therefore, human beings have been dead, and they obtain a spiritual resurrection when they receive Christ: they awaken to eternal life by receiving Christ, and then they receive eternal life, a resurrection to eternal life for the soul, a spiritual resurrection.
And then comes the physical resurrection for the physical body, where every believer will obtain physical eternal life. They already have eternal life in the soul and spirit, and they lack the physical eternal life, that is, the physical redemption: the adoption, which is the redemption of the body.
With the First Coming we find that the Program for the redemption of the soul was carried out, the spiritual, inner part; and now the second part of the Program of Redemption is the physical; for which, we will receive the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; which will be linked to the Coming of the Lord to His Church, which is the Seventh Seal when it is opened to the Church; then those who will be transformed being alive will receive that knowledge and will be prepared for the transformation, they will have the faith to be changed.
That is why the apostle Paul teaches us that the Coming of the Lord to His Church will be for our transformation. It says Philippians, chapter 3, verse 20 to 21:
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
For what do we wait for the Coming of the Lord? For our transformation, the adoption of the body, the redemption of the body. And for that time the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, Christianity, will have the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, as simple as that, where the glory of God will be manifested in the midst of His spiritual Temple, His Church, in the Last Day; and that will be the manifestation of the Third Pull, where the spoken Word will be fulfilled.
How will it all begin? We do not know, but it must begin by laying the foundation, the Word first; and then the signs will appear at the time that God wants, supporting that promised Word, the Message of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet; or Great Trumpet of Isaiah, chapter 27, verse 13; and Great Voice of Trumpet of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 58; and First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verses 13 to 18; and Philippians, chapter 3, verses 20 to 21.
We have been seeing the promise of the Tent Vision and the purpose that God has with the fulfillment or materialization of that vision of The Great Tent Cathedral. If God showed it to Reverend William Branham working, then it will appear; because what is seen, is made from what was not seen: first it is made in another dimension and then it materializes in this earthly dimension. As simple as that.
“PROMISES AND PROPHECIES IN, AND FOR, AND OF THE GREAT TENT CATHEDRAL.” And of the Vision that was shown to Reverend William Branham.
So there are great blessings for all believers in Christ throughout the world, for the Jews also, and for all who will believe in the Last Day in the Coming of the Lord when it becomes a reality and that mystery is opened to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the whole world will experience the impact of those prophecies.
