Ladies and Gentlemen, Brothers and Sisters, dear Friends in Christ,

this is Brother Frank speaking to you from the Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. It’s always a privilege to share God’s holy Word with the people of all nations, of all tribes, of all colours. God said to Abraham in His first promise in Genesis, chapter 12, “In thee all the nations shall be blessed.” And if you go to Galatians, chapter 3, here we are told that all the nations would be blessed through Christ, the promised spiritual seed of Abraham. Galatians 3, verse 14, “… that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Beloved, let me straight and strict tell you what it is all about. It’s not about Christianity, not about religion, not about philosophies, not about interpretations – the main thing is to have your personal experience with Christ, because God is not in a religion, God is not in Christianity. God was in Christ, reconciling the world with Himself (2 Corinthians, chapter 5, from verse 17). I am an old missionary, I am in the ministry now for over 50 years, in the international ministry for over 40 years. I visited over 130 countries, sharing God’s precious Word in all the churches, in stadiums, by mass-media, through radio and television ministries. We call this humble ministry apostolic-prophetic, because we only say what God said in His Word. If it’s not written in the Old and the New Testament, then it does not exist for us at all. To us the Bible contains the whole revelation of God in Christ, the Bible contains the whole plan of salvation; the Bible is the only book on earth which speaks about creation of the heavens and the earth. And the Bible is the only book with the seal of God. All other books may be good, but they are not the authority. God’s Word is the only authority for all we believe and practise and do. This is the measuring rod; this is the pattern. And now before the return of Christ, we have to acknowledge: this is not the time of reformation; this is the time of restoration of all things. That is the direct promise given to us in God’s holy Word. It’s found in Malachi, chapter 4, verse 5 and 6, “I will send you Elijah, the prophet, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. He shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers …” Beloved, if you read Luke, chapter 1, verse 17, then the first part of this prophecy was fulfilled in the ministry of John the Baptist who was actually the promised prophet of Malachi 3, verse 1. But because this first part of Malachi 4 was fulfilled in his ministry, he was also called “Elijah”. The other statement is like in Luke, chapter 1, that he should go before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah. But after the ministry of John was long finished, our Lord said in Matthew 17:11, “Truly Elijah shall first come and restore all things.” He confirmed it, He confirmed it also in the Gospel of Mark. Beloved, we have the testimony. We have the witnesses. So now before Christ returns there has to be a total restoration of all things. There are many scriptures which speak about it. You can read it in Acts, chapter 3, from verse 17–21, and compare it with the Prophet Isaiah, chapter 28, that God would send the times of refreshing and that Christ remains in heaven until that time comes when God restores all things. So in our time God has sent at the end of the day of salvation a man with the message of the hour, a man sent from God – not from a church, not from a religion, not from a denomination – a man chosen as a special vessel like the prophets were and the apostles, ordained of God, of whom the Lord could say, “If you receive someone that I would send you receive Me. And if you hear them you hear Me.” So we know, and I personally had the privilege to be in the Kingdom of God and experience the revival waves after World War II personally already from 1949. So I know about all the different revival waves, but it was William Branham, a man sent from God, who had a special visitation on May, 7th, 1946 – ordained, special commission to take the Word of God to God’s people and to restore us back to the original apostolic doctrines. That is why I do emphasize the term “apostolic-prophetic”. And with this I only mean what is written in the Holy Scriptures, not what is said to be “apostolic”, like some claim to believe the “apostolic” creed which was formulated 325, 381, 421. It was not the original formulation of the apostles, it was formulated by church men, not by men of God. The original teachings are right in this holy book. So the New Testament Church according to Acts, chapter 2, verse 42 stayed and remained in the doctrines of the apostles in prayer, in fellowship and in the breaking of bread. This is where we have to return to now before Christ returns. But, Friends, the first thing is this, that we must have our personal experience with Christ, recognising to be lost and repent of our sins and receive Christ as our personal Saviour, asking Him to forgive us and to give us also eternal life, as He promised in the Scriptures, especially in John, chapter 3, where He said, “You must be born again, otherwise you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” Also: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that all who believe in Him would have everlasting life.” This is what we need: to live eternally. We have natural life, because there was a natural begetting and we were naturally born into this world. So there must be a spiritual begetting. The Son of God was begotten by the Holy Spirit, as it is written in Psalms 2, verse 7, “Today have I begotten Thee.” And then it says, “Kiss the Son that He should not be angry …”, because when God overshadowed Mary with the Holy Spirit and the Son of God was begotten, that was holy. He was holy, holy, holy. His life, His blood, His body, everything was holy – begotten by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, Satan had actually no part with Him. But because the Son of God took our place, bore our sins, took everything that had come upon us upon Him, so that He could pay the price, redeem us and bring us back to God who accepted us as sons and daughters. Therefore we shall now go into the Scriptures showing you that we were separated from God and no religion, no philosophy, nothing could take us back, but only through the sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. Beloved, we have to tell you the truth: not a religion but Christ, not even the Christian religions. We have so many denominations, so many churches and all promise salvation. But let me be straight: salvation is only in the Saviour. There is only One who could say, “I am the Way, the Truth and Life.”, only One who could say, “I am the resurrection.” He is the great I AM. So the Son of God came to be with us. In the Old Testament He was Yahwe, the I AM, the Lord who talked to Abraham, who walked in the Garden of Eden, who spoke to Moses, but He was in the spiritual body like the angels are today. But then to redeem us, as we were in the body of flesh, He had to take a body of flesh and blood to redeem us. Now we shall go to Genesis, Beloved, to show unto you the tragedy of the fall, to show to you what happened in the Garden of Eden, how Eve and then Adam were submitting to the influence of the serpent in whom Satan was. Even in Rev. 20 this description is being used for Satan, the dragon, the old serpent. So, as God was manifested in a visible form of appearance, so Satan was also manifested in a visible form of appearance. But because he cannot create, he had to use someone that he could enter in, so that he would accomplish what he intended to do. Beloved, today we shall go to Genesis and I trust that the Holy Spirit is resting upon you. Beloved, you can never understand Genesis and never one chapter from Genesis to Revelation 22 unless by the divine revelation of the Holy Spirit. Now listen to me, but not actually to me but to the Word of God. Genesis, chapter 3, verse 1, “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, ‘Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’” So here the serpent is talking, having a conversation with Eve, walking upright. Only after the curse the serpent was crawling on the ground. But now comes the main thing: the deception, the beguiling, the transgressions, the original sin. And this we have to know: if we don’t know the original sin we don’t know the fall and we don’t know what we are talking about. If we speak about redemption, if we speak about redemption we must know where the cut-off was and how the cut-off was. It was by beguiling. I read it to you from Genesis 3. It says here in verse 14, “And the Lord God said unto the serpent …” Please pay attention to whom the Lord God is speaking! First He spoke to the serpent, then He spoke to Eve, then He spoke to Adam. Please pay attention to what He said when He spoke and to whom He was speaking. “And the Lord God said unto the serpent, ‘Because thou hast done this …’” What? What? “Thou hast done this …” Before in verse 13 we read about the beguiling. And then: “Because thou hast done this, thou shall be cursed above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly thou shalt go, and dust shall thou eat all the days of thy life.” That’s not all. Listen to what comes next, and I beg you in the name of the Lord to listen to every word and to pray, “Lord, speak to me. Reveal it to me.” “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman.” He was the enemy, so the Lord had to put enmity between the enemy and the woman. I continue to read, “… and between thy seed and her seed.” So the serpent had a seed! If you take the word “seed” in reference to humanity, it speaks about posterity. The seed of Abraham, the seed of David, the seed of the children of Israel. It speaks about posterity. So the Lord God had placed enmity between the serpent and the woman and between his seed and her seed. How many know that the seed promised here by the woman is Jesus Christ, the Lord? I hope and trust that all know. I read on, “… and He shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel.” This was precisely it: Because the sting of death had to be put into His heel, but, Beloved, the moment this was done that Satan, Satan had put the sting of death into His heel on the cross of Calvary, and therefore the Son of God had to die because the sting of death was put into Him. At the same moment the Son of God, the seed of the woman crushed the head of the serpent and redeemed us and brought us back, took us back from the power of Satan, from the influence of Satan, from everything that Satan was, and placed us back into the Kingdom of God. So this is something very important for us to know: the seed of the serpent. And if you go – I actually didn’t want to say this – but if you go to the Old and the New Testament and read about the genealogies, you know what? And I hope you understand. If you read Genesis, chapter 5, you read (I read only the first verse), “This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.” Now you can read on. “And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and called his name Seth.” You can read on and it goes, Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch: seven. Why is Cain not mentioned here? Why? Abel could not be mentioned, because he was killed. He had no posterity. So he was not mentioned. But Cain, Cain was not mentioned. Why was he not mentioned? The secrets of God are in this book, but they are hidden. You might be shocked, but I brought a picture with me today. If you have a good look at it: one mother and two different babies. She had a relation on the same day with two different men: one is light, the other is dark. Here is the description. We just took it from the internet. You have here the description, “Twins have different fathers. A creation woman who slept with two men at the same time has given birth to twins with two different fathers. The 23 year old student So-and-so …”, giving all the details. Why do I say this? I say this for one purpose: that Satan entered the serpent and today people are still looking for “the missing link”. They don’t understand the secrets of God. And because Satan came into the human race, God had to come into the human race. Satan by the serpent, God by the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. There you see Eve in the transgression, in the fall – here you see Mary, Mary the virgin. A begetting there – a begetting here. A birth there – a birth here. A seed there – a seed here. You have to see it, but it’s a divine revelation and divine revelation doesn’t come easy. It doesn’t come by studying only. You have to receive it from God. So, Beloved, as I am acquainted by the grace of God with the plan of salvation, I am just telling you, we are living shortly before the return of Christ and all the mysteries of the Word of God are revealed. Everything that we need to know, even the tricks of Satan. Cain was religious. Today the whole world is religious. Everybody is religious. All churches are religious. All churches pray, all churches bring their sacrifices and all churches have their own ways. But this is the time for God’s people to come back, to be born again by the same Holy Spirit that overshadowed Mary and Christ was born. And Christ was the Word manifested in flesh. So the same Word of God must be placed as a seed into our heart and soul, so the Holy Spirit can come upon us to create a new life – God’s life in us. Christ in us, the hope of glory. Beloved, if you were blessed by this ministry, please write us. Because there are many things we need to share with you. May God bless you and be with you. In Jesus’ holy Name. Amen.
