Bro Branham taught that the Seven Thunders in Revelation 10:1–7 are directly connected to the mighty angel descending from heaven with an open book, setting one foot on the sea and one on the earth, crying like a lion, after which the thunders utter their voices, but John is commanded from heaven to seal them up and not write them. Evidence: [IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR? — 62-1230E: ¶64–¶64; ¶301–¶308]
He explained that these thunders represent mysteries on the "backside" of the sealed Book in Revelation 5, not written inside like the mysteries revealed through the first six Seals and church ages, but to be revealed at the sounding of the seventh angel's message, finishing God's mystery declared to the prophets. Evidence: [IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR? — 62-1230E: ¶301–¶323; THE BREACH BETWEEN THE SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEVEN SEALS — 63-0317E: ¶28–¶51]
In the Seventh Seal sermon, he described the thunders as a total secret causing silence in heaven, unknown even to angels or Satan, with no activity lest it be revealed prematurely, linking it to the end-time Third Pull beyond impersonation, though he did not fully interpret their content and emphasized no one knows Christ's exact return. Evidence: [THE SEVENTH SEAL — 63-0324E: ¶249–¶254; ¶389–¶398]
Bro Branham connected the thunders to hidden mysteries providing rapturing faith for the Bride, stating they would be revealed in the last days to give faith for rapturing grace so the Church can be changed and move out, beyond current healing faith levels. Evidence: [THE FIRST SEAL — 63-0318: ¶167–¶171; IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR? — 62-1230E: ¶369–¶417]
He noted the thunders were not written or revealed in Scripture or his Seals messages, affirming John was forbidden to write them, they remain sealed until their prophetic hour, and any claim otherwise adds to or subtracts from the Word. Evidence: [THE SEVENTH SEAL — 63-0324E: ¶249–¶254; THE FIRST SEAL — 63-0318: ¶167–¶171; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS — 64-0830E: ¶75–¶81]
And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. [IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR? — 62-1230E: ¶64]
Then is the time for the seven voices of Revelation 10 to be revealed. When the Book is finished, there is only one thing left, and that’s the seven mysterious voices of thunder that was wrote on the backside of the Book, that John was forbidden to write. [IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR? — 62-1230E: ¶301–¶303]
Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. It’s on the backside, when a Book is completed... these Seven Thunders’ voices is the only thing, that’s stuck to the Book, that’s not revealed. It’s not even written in the Book. [IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR? — 62-1230E: ¶304–¶306]
But when these Seven Thunders, over in Revelation 10, uttered, He said, “Don’t write Them, at all.” They are mysteries. We don’t know what they are yet. But, my opinion, they’ll be revealed right away. And when it do, it’ll give faith for that rapturing grace, for that Church to move out. [THE FIRST SEAL — 63-0318: ¶167]
It is the secret that no one knows about. John was forbidding to write about It... It’s not even written in the Word. It’s a total secret. [THE SEVENTH SEAL — 63-0324E: ¶249–¶254]
