Well, brothers and sisters, as I have said, the title of this message is “What the Parable of the Ten Virgins is not.” My emphasis today is on those last two words – What it is not. And chiefly, that is what we will be looking at today; we will be comparing what we have been told about this parable to see if it fits with the plain reading of scripture.

And as we do that, this message will be in four parts. The first part, I will explain what William Branham and message leaders preach about this parable. And then second, we will point out the internal contradictions within the message interpretation itself. And then, we will compare William Branham’s interpretation with the plain reading of scripture, to see if it stands up to scripture. And then last of all, we will take a little time to explore a better way to frame this parable.

Today the topic we are asking the question, “Who is Cain’s father?” We are talking about Cain, who was born in Genesis chapter 4. Cain was the man who grew into an adult and ended up murdering his brother Abel. He fathered a family of really wicked people.

And we are asking the question, who is his father? To most Christians, that question is a no-brainer. For the average person, there is not really even a controversy over who Cain’s father is. Most everyone says Adam was his father. But William Branham had a very unorthodox explanation for Cain’s parentage, which we are going to examine today.

This will be our fourth episode in this series, and we are calling it the William Branham series. We are focusing on a few of the big questions that people have as they exit William Branham’s cult following, known as the message.

And today, our topic is “Who is the Son of Man in Luke 17:30?” Our scripture reading is from the book of Luke, chapter 17. I invite you to turn there with me, and I will be reading beginning at verse 20 and going down to verse 30.

Today, we are continuing what I am calling the William Branham series, and the topic today is “What is the shout of 1st Thessalonians 4.”

Our passage today will be from the book of 1st Thessalonians, chapter 4. I will read from verse 13 to 18 as our text. I invite you to turn there with me as I read it:

Today, we are continuing with our second message in this series. I am calling this the William Branham series, and I am really appreciative of all the wonderful feedback I have received over the past week since I started this series.

As we go on to the second part today, the title of the message is “Who is the seventh angel of Revelation 10:7?”

And our scripture today will be Revelation 10:7. I invite you to open your bibles with me and turn there, and we will read that verse together.

Well, we have quite a topic today. One that, to most people in the world, they could care less about. It’s not a question that would even interest them. But to you and I, because of the background of where we come from, this is a very big topic, and a very big question.

And in case some of my listeners this morning are unfamiliar with why this subject would matter to us, I and most of our listeners here were formerly in the cult following of William Branham, called The Message. We believed William Branham was the Elijah that Malachi was referring to here in the book he wrote. We believed William Branham was the last days end time prophet to fulfill this prophecy.
