Title: The Light of the Body is the Eye
1The Light of the Body is the Eye
- LUKE 1133-36
- 33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle,
putteth it in a secret place, neither under a
bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which
come in may see the light. - 34 The light of the body is the eye
therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole
body also is full of light but when thine eye
is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. - 35 Take heed therefore that the light which
is in thee be not darkness. - 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of
light, having no part dark, the whole shall be
full of light, as when the bright shining of a
candle doth give thee light.
2JOHN THE BELOVED BEHOLDING THE BOOK OF REDEMPTION
REVELATION 5 1- 4 And I saw in the right hand of
Him that sat on the throne a BOOK written within
and on the backside, SEALED with SEVEN SEALS.
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud
voice, WHO is worthy to OPEN the BOOK, and to
LOOSE the SEALS thereof? And NO MAN in heaven,
nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able
to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I
wept much, because no man was found worthy to
open and to read the BOOK, neither to look
thereon.
TIME A.D. 96, Isle of Patmos
3THE BOOK OF REDEMPTION AS PRESENTED TO THE
PROPHET DANIEL
DANIEL 124 But thou, O Daniel, SHUT up the
words, and SEAL the BOOK, even to the time of
the END many shall run to and fro, and knowledge
shall be increased. DANIEL 128 And I heard, but
I understood not then said I, O my Lord, what
shall be the end of these things? DANIEL
129 And He said, Go thy way, Daniel for the
WORDS are CLOSED up and SEALED till the TIME of
the END.
4The Present Day Truth
- II PETER 110-12
- 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give
diligence to make your calling and election sure
for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall - 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered
unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. - 12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to
put you always in remembrance of these things,
though ye know them, and be established in the
present truth.

9The Light of the Body is the Eye
LUKE 1133-36 33 No man, when he hath
lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place,
neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick,
that they which come in may see the light. 34
The light of the body is the eye therefore when
thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full
of light but when thine eye is evil, thy body
also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed
therefore that the light which is in thee be not
darkness. 36 If thy whole body therefore
be full of light, having no part dark, the
whole shall be full of light, as when the bright
shining of a candle doth give thee light.
10I CORINTHIANS 1541 41 There is one glory

another glory of the stars for one star

11The Mystery of the 7 Stars the 7 Churches
- REVELATION 114-20
- 14 His head and his hairs were white like
wool, as white as snow and his eyes were as a
flame of fire - 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as
if they burned in a furnace and his voice as the
sound of many waters. - 16 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.
12- 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as
dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying
unto me, Fear not I am the first and the last - 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead
and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen and
have the keys of hell and of death. - 19 Write the things which thou hast seen,
and the things which are, and the things which
shall be hereafter - 20 The mystery of the seven stars which
thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven
golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the
angels of the seven churches and the seven
candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven
churches.
13The Revelation of Jesus Christ
REVELATION 13 Blessed is he that
readeth, and they that hear the words of this
prophecy, and keep those things which are written
therein for the time is at hand.

18- WHO IS THE 7TH ANGEL?
- Was it Oral Roberts?
- Tommy Osborn?
- Billy Graham?
- F.F.Bosworth?
- William Branham?
- David Harrell Jr?
- Thomas Nickel?
- Benny Hinn?
- Morris Cerullo?
- Others?
19- WHAT IS THE PROPHESY FOR THE LAST MESSENGER?
- THE MESSENGER MUST BE A PROPHET IN THE SPIRIT OF
ELIJAH (According to MALACHI 45-6) - Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day
of the LORD And he shall turn the heart of the
fathers to the children, and the heart of the
children to their fathers, lest I come and smite
the earth with a curse. - HE MUST BE A VOICE THAT SHOULD REVEAL THE
MYSTERIES IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION (Acc. to
REVELATION 107)- - But in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the
mystery of God should be finished, as he hath
declared to his servants the prophets. - HE MUST BE A SEER OF VISIONS, AND HE MUST HAVE
THUS SAITH THE LORD prophesies perfectly
happening on the dot (AMOS 37)- Surely the
Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth his
secret unto his servants the prophets. -
- HE MUST DECLARE THE APPEARING OF THE SON OF MAN
JUST LIKE IN THE DAYS OF NOAH AND LOT (According
to LUKE 1730)- Even thus shall it be in the Day
when the Son of man is revealed.
20Who is William Marrion Branham?
Halo of Fire photographed above William Branhams
head in January 24, 1950, while preaching at Sam
Houston Coliseum, Houston, Texas.
The original of this photograph is kept in the
archives of the Religious Department of the
Smithsonian Institute, Library Hall of Congress,
Washington,D.C.
21The Halo Light
- George J. Lacy, Investigator of Questioned
Documents, and hired by the FBI to investigate
the negatives of this photograph, subjected the
film to every scientific test available. - At a news conference after the tests, he stated,
"To my knowledge, this is the first time in all
the world's history that a supernatural being has
been photographed by a mechanical camera and
scientifically vindicated." - The FBI issued that this photograph was never
faked nor a result of double exposure. A Light
really striked the camera.
22Witnesses and Testimonials to the William
Branham Ministry
- TOMMY OSBORN - God has chosen diverse and
mysterious ways to reveal Himself to His servants
especially those called for dispensational
purposes as was Brother Branhams call. In short,
the man we know as William Branham was sent to
demonstrate God again in flesh.
(William Branham Memorial
Service) - GORDON LINDSAY - Never had we known of any
preacher calling deaf, mutes and blind people to
pray for, and then to see those people delivered
on the spot... a ministry that was beyond any
that we had before witnessed.
(The House
that the Lord Built) - ORAL ROBERTS - A humble devout man of God.
- (Healing
Waters, July 1948)
23- JAMES MORRIS - It was Branham, more than any
other evangelist, who started the post-World
War-II fundamentalist healing revival following
his encounter with an angel on May 7, 1946. Word
radiated in every direction that all manner of
diseases and afflictions were healed instantly by
the little Indiana preacher. Even cases of
raising the dead were published.
(The Preachers) - GEORGE EKEROTH - God called this humble man and
anointed his ministry to a degree that within a
few short years his name was known in the most
remote jungle outstation. Wherever you would go
in this world you would find that the name of
this messenger has preceded you.
(Introduction of Morris Cerullos Book,
Wind Over the 20th Century)
24- THOMAS R. NICKEL - In Bible days, there were men
of God who were prophets and seers. But in all
the sacred records, none of these had a greater
ministry than that of William Branham, a Prophet
and Seer of God, whose photograph appears on the
front cover of this issue of Full Gospel Mens
Voice. Branham has been used by God, in the Name
of Jesus, to raise the dead. (Full Gospel Mens
Voice Magazine, Feb 1961) - DAVID EDWIN HARRELL JR. - Most of the
participants of the healing revival that erupted
in 1947 looked upon Branham as its initiator.
William Branham became a prophet to a generation.
Night after night, before thousands of awed
believers, he discerned the diseases of the sick
and pronounced them healed. The power of a
Branham service remains a legend unparalleled in
the history of the Charismatic Movement.
(All ThingsAre Possible)
25What does he say about his ministry?
- Not for one moment do I bring a message to the
people that they may follow me, or join my
church, or start some fellowship and
organization. I have never done that and will not
do that now. I have no interest in those things,
but I do have an interest in the things of God
and people, and if I can accomplish just one
thing I will be satisfied. That one thing is to
see established a true spiritual relationship
between God and men, wherein men become new
creations in Christ, filled with His Spirit and
live according to His Word. I would invite, plead
and warn all to hear His voice at this time, and
yield your lives completely to Him, even as I
trust in my heart that I have given my all to
Him. God bless you, and may His coming rejoice
your heart. - RESUME.OF.THE.AGES -

28Scriptures fulfilled in our days
- MALACHI 45, 6
- 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day
of the LORD - 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers
to the children, and the heart of the children to
their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth
with a curse. - MATTHEW 1710
- 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why
then say the scribes that Elias must first come? - 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Elias truly shall first come, and restore all
things. - 12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come
already, and they knew him not, but have done
unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall
also the Son of man suffer of them.
29God is Light
- I JOHN 15 This then is the message which we have
heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is
light, and in him is no darkness at all. - If we say that we have fellowship with him, and
walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth
- But if we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us
from all sin.
30The Eye Witness
- JOHN 15-6
- 5 And the light shineth in darkness and
the darkness comprehended it not. - 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name
was John. - 7 The same came for a witness, to bear
witness of the Light, that all men through him
might believe. - 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to
bear witness of that Light. - 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth
every man that cometh into the world.
31The Church as the Body of Christ
- COLOSSIANS 118
- 18 And he is the head of the body, the
church who is the beginning, the firstborn from
the dead that in all things he might have the
preeminence.
32- ZECHARIAH 410
- 10 For who hath despised the day of small
things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the
plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those

to and fro through the whole earth.
33- REVELATION 45
- 5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings
and thunderings and voices and there were
seven lamps of fire burning before the throne,
which are the seven Spirits of God.
34The Evening Light
- ZECHARIAH 146, 7
- 6 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the light shall not be clear, nor dark - 7 But it shall be one day which shall be known
to the LORD, not day, nor night but it shall
come to pass, that at evening time it shall be
light.
35Scriptures fulfilled in our days
- LUKE 1726-30
- 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall
it be also in the days of the Son of man. - 27 They did eat, they drank, they married
wives, they were given in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood
came, and destroyed them all. - 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of
Lot they did eat, they drank, they bought, they
sold, they planted, they builded - 29 But the same day that Lot went out of
Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven,
and destroyed them all. - 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the
Son of man is revealed. - JOHN 151
- 51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open,
and the angels of God ascending and descending
upon the Son of man.
