Bro Branham taught that the Seven Seals contain the mysteries of redemption, revealed only in the last days through the ministry of the seventh angel messenger, who gathers up loose ends from previous church ages and finishes all mysteries of God as promised in Revelation 10:1–7. Evidence: [THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEVEN SEALS — 63-0317E: ¶42–¶47, ¶211–¶217]
He explained each of the first four Seals as four horse riders symbolizing the antichrist's progressive work through the church ages: the First Seal (white horse with bow and crown) as the antichrist beginning as a political power conquering under a false Christ spirit in the Ephesian age; the Second Seal (red horse with sword) as taking peace from the earth through persecution in the Smyrnean age; the Third Seal (black horse with balances) as famine of the Word through dogma and creeds in the Sardisean age; and the Fourth Seal (pale horse named Death with Hell following) as death through denominational systems uniting political and religious powers in the Philadelphian age. Evidence: [THE FIRST SEAL — 63-0318: ¶6–¶41, ¶293; THE SECOND SEAL — 63-0319: ¶3–¶45; THE THIRD SEAL — 63-0320: ¶3–¶58; THE FOURTH SEAL — 63-0321: ¶16–¶83]
The Fifth Seal reveals souls under the altar crying for vengeance, representing martyrs awaiting fulfillment until their brethren are killed, while the Sixth Seal depicts cosmic disturbances, earthquakes, and hiding from wrath, purging the earth for the Millennium and gathering Israel (144,000 sealed), aligning with Matthew 24 signs like wars, famines, and the sun/moon darkening before Christ's return. Evidence: [THE FIFTH SEAL — 63-0322: ¶4–¶46; THE SIXTH SEAL — 63-0323: ¶2–¶85, ¶154–¶159, ¶404–¶408]
The Seventh Seal brings silence in heaven for half an hour, a total mystery not revealed (no beast announces it, unlike prior Seals), connected to Seven Thunders uttering voices whose content John was forbidden to write, occurring at Christ's Coming when no one knows the hour (omitted in Matthew 24 and John's vision), with the Bride reverently awaiting rapture amid end-time events. Evidence: [THE SEVENTH SEAL — 63-0324E: ¶16–¶19, ¶304–¶307, ¶330–¶336, ¶389–¶398, ¶394–¶415]
The Seals relate to Matthew 24 as Jesus answered questions on the temple's destruction and end signs by describing events paralleling the first six Seals (deceivers, wars, famines, martyrdom, cosmic signs), but omitted the Seventh, tying directly to the Lamb's revelation. Evidence: [QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON THE SEALS — 63-0324M: ¶65–¶74; THE SIXTH SEAL — 63-0323: ¶154–¶159; THE SEVENTH SEAL — 63-0324E: ¶70–¶71]
Bro Branham connected the Seals to the Bride in the last days as the opening reveals mysteries for rapturing faith, with the Bride undenominational, fed spiritual Food from the Seals (contrary to denominations), invisible union beyond Pentecost, and the Seventh Seal/Thunders preparing her for translation at Christ's Coming. Evidence: [THE INVISIBLE UNION OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST — 65-1125: ¶195–¶201, ¶300–¶302, ¶359–¶363; THE SEVENTH SEAL — 63-0324E: ¶304–¶307]
At the end of the seventh angel’s Message, all the mysteries of God would be known. We’re at the end time, the opening of the Seventh Seal.
[THE SEVENTH SEAL — 63-0324E: ¶304]
The Seven Seals, which, all the mysteries of the seven church ages was sealed with Seven Seals. The reformers didn’t have time to do it in their days. They didn’t live long enough. But this blessed revelation of the Seven Seals, it’s open to us in this last days.
[THE INVISIBLE UNION OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST — 65-1125: ¶195–¶201]
When we compared the Scripture here with Matthew 24, with the six Seals, the Seventh Seal was left out. Because, you see, Christ said only God Himself knowed, not even the Angels.
[THE SEVENTH SEAL — 63-0324E: ¶70–¶71]
