I am fully aware a topic of this nature to the eyes of the world cannot be an enticing one, seeing our world population by mid 1970 had climbed to an estimated 3.7 billion people with far above 600,000 new births over the death rate every 3½ days added to the already overpopulation, climbing yearly to 70 million, and if present rate continues to soar it is

To you who Satan is the guilty party who has made sex may feel a message of this nature should an evil, degrading, perverted, dirty, lustful not be discussed may I ask you one simple word planted in the mind of humans. I question? Does Almighty God feel that certainly do not believe God is evil, way? If he does, is it not strange that he although the scripture does declare that he allowed intimate relationships of holy created both good and evil, BUT FOR men of old to be openly discussed in the WHAT PURPOSE? To allow everyone to scripture or do you suppose the writers know God is good and in the end good who mentioned such subjects were will triumph over evil. God is holy, peeping toms or people with unusually perfect and just and seeks to serve in that long noses? FACE IT! Scripture says capacity and be reverenced and Adam knew his wife; Isaac knew his wife; worshipped through that kind of Abraham, Jacob and the patriarch’s of old knowledge concerning himself. God have their intimate relationship with their cannot be pictured as anything less, legal companions openly and frankly although it is easy to picture satan discussed in the holy writ showing representing every dirty, lowdown thing somewhere in the back of all of this was a that can ever be brought into existence. holy God. One cannot help reading the Wherever such things are found, you may scriptures concerning these holy men of be sure Satan lurks behind the scene. We old, men of faith, walking upright and realize the term SEX, as it has been receiving revelation from God although presented to a modern world of carnal, they did have within their blood stream lustful minded people, accompanied with that inherited measure of imputed sin, yet

Finally, God guided their lives and also those it is the Holy Spirit who at best takes this sacred sexual relationships. Yes, they vast knowledge and records it for were sacred in the eyes of God and could blessings and cursings upon future be openly discussed and referred to by generations who shall read from its pages. other holy people in that sense. Just how Yes, I realize as the world becomes more much these relationships were discussed overly populated and as man drops lower no one knows, but think about people in degradation until his very thought will discussing and keeping in their memory meditate day and night upon gratification such relationships even as far back as ten of the flesh through the lust thereof, we and 3 fifteen generations before, perhaps must become keenly aware that it is Satan even farther. Recall, it was Moses who who is doing everything possible to drug wrote the first five books of the Bible long and null the human mind to truth. after the flood had occurred and up until that time we had no sacred writings such THE AUTHOR OF SEX as recorded scripture for future generations to read. No doubt there were As I stated, one reason we want to teach other writings and records kept; however, this subject is to try and bring clarification generally knowledge was passed from on certain unscriptural teachings which generation to generation verbally. have arisen out of this message following Therefore, as late as 700 years after the the death of our endtime messenger. flood, Moses wrote his books and note all These erroneous teachings which are of the sexual knowledge was available to completely out of harmony with the him to record for future generations. In revelation of the holy scriptures and the order that you not think me to be a sexual revelation of the endtime messenger minded maniac as so many are looked himself declare first off before the fall of upon who discuss such a subject openly transgression it was never in God’s and frankly from the scriptures for the original plan from the very beginning to benefit of God’s people, allow me to say use this intimate relationship between that Moses wrote not only the sexual life man and wife as the sole means of of the patriarchs, he gave also the account bringing life into the world; therefore, of the beginning of creation, its fall, how relations between husband and wife sin entered into the picture through just should be abstained from indicating the such a misused relationship and how sin devil was the author of this act. Well and short comings are recorded of the beloved, if the devil was the instigator of men of old, yet note the excess of sex then I would have to agree with these knowledge concerning the private life of teachers; however. he is not. He is only the patriarchs and their companions that the perverter of the original sex act. These was held in constant keeping, openly spirits promoting such propaganda

One thing is certain, they both cannot through certain messages for a reason although they may both completely known only to God, he was required to accomplish the purpose for which they drop certain statements along the way were sent; therefore, whenever two which could be interpreted to mean other conflicting statements or lines of thought things than his true revelation of thought. seem to appear, you must simply reach A close study of his message in books and down and pick out the one you like the tapes reveals this could be true and best, OH NO! You must weigh these two certainly could be no coincidence. Some statements in the light of the Holy will ask, was the prophet wrong to make Scriptures. What the prophet brought will

But may I ask you a question, from other statements that were expressed what does each of these churches feed? along the way. These are things people are Statements! One lining up with the afraid to face. Realizing the fact he was a perfect revelation of the word of God prophet with the word of the Lord, these while the other always fed the masses of scrupulous teachers do not hesitate to use people who God knows will not follow this against the innocent little child of the true revelation; nevertheless, because God by saying, now, you do not want to they would need or require something to go contrary to the word of the prophet, do lead them astray, it was ordained to come you? Certainly noone wants to go from that prophet’s mouth, God filling contrary to the true revelation of that both needs. Both groups are fed from that prophet for beloved, I want to tell you he prophets mouth, but the pathetic part never at any time in his ministry while remains, who has actually received the following that pure stream of revelation revelation wherein lay the life of the within the word. ever departed from it. word? What is strange to me and I believe No! Yet, these statements were made, will be to you also if you will just stop and ordained of God to see who will take them think for a moment, how is it possible for and build from them and who will not. so called Bible believing people who These things do not dishearten nor were suppose to be pulled from Babylon discourage me, nor will I listen to those and brought straight to the word by who make such unscriptural statements as revelation to always be capable of taking BELIEVE IT ALL which means believe these certain statements that are not in line both statements. Beloved, allow me to say with his true revelation teaching as a I cannot believe both statements in the whole and build themselves a doctrine or manner some would ask me to do so; a personal revelation? Though it is true however, I believe both statements in his they were spoken and as has already been message were ordained of God, yet for a stated, were spoken for a divine purpose, different purpose. When Bro. Branham yet how is it that these teachers, ministers said you did not have to understand it, just or mere followers of this endtime believe, he was speaking of the true message can always manage to get revelation of the word which he was latched on to these various statements bringing. There is nothing unreasonable which cannot be supported by the about God nor is there anything scripture, thus, ending up with a gospel unreasonable about this prophet’s made completely from statements which message at the endtime. This message will absolutely have no biblical was designated to turn the hearts of the foundation whatsoever; therefore, children back to the fathers as declared in containing no salvation whatsoever! But Malachi 4:5-6. One of these statements

Be Fruitful and Multiply January 1972 will help produce that very thing while the NOT AFTER THE FALL, BUT 5 other will produce only a proud, high, LONG BEFORE THE FALL! haughty, exalted people who in the long run shall miss the very purpose of the God Furthermore, seeing how he brought man sent message. In all fairness to both sides, from the dust of the earth assures every allow me at this time to introduce two true believer who sleeps in the dust of the such statements or two lines of thought earth that long after the skinworms have which our prophet was known to have completed their assignment on the flesh, made concerning God’s divine purpose or God will bring each child of his from the original purpose in bringing offspring into dust of the earth for the new age in their the world, then let us see which of these new glorified bodies. ADAM’S two statements will line up with the PROPHECY CONCERNING scripture as it is impossible for both to do WOMANHOOD In Gen. 1:21-24, we so. Why? Because only one such line of find Adam’s first statement after he thought was designed for that purpose. awakens from his operation and sees that One such statement known to be made beautiful woman taken from his side to be was: it was God’s original plan that Adam his helpmeet (which according to some by the word call hi children forth from the teachers would mean helping Adam call dust of the earth. Another statement, children from the ground), was a however, said: before Adam could come prophecy concerning the role of woman. to Eve as his wife she was already defiled. “This is bone of my bone and flesh of my Which statement will line up with the flesh. She shall be called woman because word of God? Now we are aware of the she was taken out of man (watch closely, fact that when God spoke Adam and Eve this is before the fall). Therefore shall a from the ground, he was using the only man leave his father and mother and shall available means at his disposal. I do not cleave unto his wife and they shall be one say that God could not have spoken every flesh.” In what manner does any young individual out of the ground, bypassing couple become one flesh other than his ordained sexual route which he chose through their offspring produced from seeing the first pair both male and female their bodies through an intimate were definitely spoken out of the ground; relationship. There the two have become however, nowhere in scripture do we find one flesh. Simply being a husband and where this method was ever repeated once wife does not make one a mother or the first pair had been called forth from father. An offspring from their union must the ground, blessed and commissioned of be produced first. How can a man refer to God to be fruitful and multiply. Yes other creatures of the same specie as beloved, man and woman also received father and mother except he be their this same commission (Gen. 1:28) offspring? Paul, picking up this same line of thought in Galations 5:22-23, admonished the wife to submit herself

Be Fruitful and Multiply January 1972 unto her own husband as unto the Lord knew only good as evil had not yet been seeing she represents the church. He introduced by the serpent. On the instructed the men to love their wives as contrary, it was concerning that original their own bodies saying; “he who loveth plan to fulfill Gen. 1:28. “Be fruitful and his wife loveth himself for no man ever multiply.” How did God originally intend hated his own flesh but nourisheth and to fulfill Gen. 1:28 if it was not through cherisheth it even a the Lord the church, the sex act? Their temptation came as we are members of his body, of his around the very calling and purpose for flesh and his bone”. Then Paul refers which they were placed in the garden. directly to Genesis picking up that statement of Adam’s prophecy BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY concerning the role of womanhood and AND REPLENISH THE EARTH. repeats it. Now beloved, it is impossible WHAT BECOMING ONE FLESH to take a separate man and woman, INDICATES making them become one flesh without somewhere first a sexual relation has been After seeing the woman taken from his involved. Paul continues by saying; “this side Adam said, she shall be called is a mystery but (actually) I speak woman because she was taken out of man concerning Christ and the church, therefore shall a man leave his father and nevertheless let everyone of you in mother and cleave unto his wife and they particular so love his wife even as himself two shall be one flesh, reveals Adam’s and the wife see that she reverence her revelation extended far beyond he and his husband”. Having recorded this, may we wife, to reveal there will be more than two analyze it? Paul referred to Adam’s individuals on this earth but the question statement which was his first recorded remains, how were these others (which conversation and dealt strictly with a today number over 3.7 billion) supposed prophecy concerning the role of woman, to arrive here? What was God’s original how she would become a mother. Is it not plan for their arrival? Is Adam strange that Adam and Paul both spoke of prophesying that man shall leave his husband and wife becoming one flesh? father and mother, cleave unto himself a Paul was using this to type Christ and the wife and they shall become one flesh only church; nevertheless, the question still to call forth their children from the ground remains, how could two separate persons or dust of the earth as they themselves had become one flesh (before the fall) without been called or did he mean they would be a sexual act being involved? It simply brought forth through an intimate cannot be done. Recall, Adam speaking relationship and later, as they looked upon before the fall indicates his line of their offspring they would be able to see prophecy 6 concerning woman and her both father and mother in one flesh? role in producing children had to be in line Personally, I hold to the statement Bro. with God’s divine program seeing they Branham made concerning before Adam

Be Fruitful and Multiply January 1972 could come to Eve as wife, she was longsuffering God’s chosen and elect. It already defiled by Satan (who stood is not for the world to view upon; behind the scene instigating the entire therefore, if it simply stated clearly what plot). I accept this statement and others actually transpired in the Garden, any like it because it is my firm conviction this college professor or any man with a third is the statement that carries the revelation grade education with no love of God in his and comes in line perfectly with the word heart could simply read the direct of God. The other statement is also wording and know without any revelation serving its God ordained purpose. How exactly the cause of the fall and was it possible that Satan, who inspired transgression in the Garden. the serpent, could possibly defile the original plan and purpose of God in Gen. BIRTH BEFORE THE FALL, 1:28 pertaining to Eve and the arrival of HOW WOULD IT HAVE BEEN? children had there never been any original sex plan or law in the beginning with The becoming one flesh indicates since which Satan could tamper? Later, we Adam knew no evil in the very beginning want to shw how both the first and second it was God’s original intention or plan for Adam was tested by Satan only on one man to leave father and mother who had thing, their diving calling and purpose. brought his into the world through this Since we already know that imputed sin relation and now choose a woman for a from the transgression came through the wife whereby he might reproduce blood line and is passed on from himself, only with the original act, that generation to generation through the act sexual relation inspired and led of God of sex, how could this temptation possibly would have produced a child full of have affected that original plan of God eternal life instead of death as all are now wherein Adam had stated a man would plagued with since the original act had leave his (own) father and mother, cleave been tampered with in the Garden. unto himself a wife and they (two) Imputed death travels only through the become one flesh, if he had not originally blood stream, thus the sperm of life makes planned to use the sex act for the arrival contact with the egg and life of children even before the fall? instantaneously springs from that Therefore, whatever the act was involving conception. Today, we find that germ or the woman which caused her to be Gene of life to be filled with death, defiled, has been placed in a language by imputed only by the transgression or fall Moses through certain well chosen in the Garden. However, had there been statements which hide the real truth from no sin, no transgression, no tampering the eyes of the wise and prudent and will with the divine law of God pertaining to be revealed by the Holy Spirit unto his bringing human life into the world, at elect.

Neither would However, we are aware today as has been there have been any remorse or guilt in seen throughout the ages that man does any fashion over the act. Childbirth would not have to cleave to a wife in order to use have been most simple, bringing forth no that original divine sexual plan for some pain, no depressed feeling and certainly purpose other than how God proposed it no death. The point is under the original in the beginning. He may use it strictly for plan each child conceived whether boy or a pleasure act with no thought of bringing girl would have been filled with life forth life. Such was the basis upon which eternal seeing death would not have the serpent introduce the act unto Eve, entered into the picture. Thus from strictly for pleasure. As was true in the Adam’s prophecy concerning the role of Garden at certain periods of time that womanhood, we see Adam knew God’s divine law placed in woman’s body, original plan and purpose for woman placed in her physical makeup and placed when he stated man would leave his father there long before the fall, once that law and mother who had produced him into has been tampered with during these the world for it is now time that he should seasons of life conception takes place and take unto himself a wife and fulfill the life springs forth. Therefore I repeat, the obligations for which purpose they were major differences between the original brought into the world becoming one plan of God for fulfilling his commission flesh and producing God another son or through the young couple’s life in Gen. daughter thus fulfilling God’s great 1:28 (be fruitful and multiply) and how it commission, Gen. 1:28, given to this first was actually fulfilled or accomplished couple long before the fall. was for altogether another purpose.
