Last night you spoke of “the great multitude that no man could number, from every tribe, nation,” that are-are mentioned in the 7th chapter of Revelation. Did I understand you, correctly, to say that “They are the Bride of Christ”? Yes, you understood me. They are the Bride.
153 Now if you’ll notice, just exactly in Revelation 7, he saw the hundred and forty-four thousand. Now, I’m not accusing you of this, my brother, but the hundred... Usually a Jehovah Witness is the one that believes that hundred and forty-four thousand will be the Bride. And that’s an error! John knowed every one of them, and called them by name. They were every one Jews. He said, “Twelve thousand of Gad, twelve thousand of Zabulon, twelve thousand of Benjamin, twelve thousand of Juda.” Is that right? And there’s twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve times twelve... is a hundred and forty-four thousand. Is that right? He said, “All, the children of Israel.” John recognized them.
154 Then he looked this way, and he said, “Why, here stood a great multitude that no man could number, of all kindreds, tongues, and nations; stood with white robes, in their hands... and palms, and waving, and shouting, and singing hosannas and... to the King.” He said, “Who are they?”
155 He said, “That’s the ones that’s come out of great tribulation and washed their robes in the Blood of the Lamb. They are before God, and they’ll serve the Lamb in His Temple with Him. Day and night, they’ll not leave Him.” There’s the Bride, see, the Wife, the Gentile Bride.
156 Remember, the Bride is a Gentile. He said, “He’ll come and take a people out of the Gentiles for His” (what sake?) “Name’s sake.”
157 Now, there’s many young lady in the world. But I’ve taken one woman, and that was Meda Broy, and she’s Mrs. William Branham now. She’s got... She ain’t a Broy no more; she’s a Branham now. See?
158 And that’s how it is, you take on Jesus Christ and become a Bride, members of the Bride.
