“GOSHEN”

QA ON GENESIS JEFF IN 53-0729

51-243 093 Now, look back in the Old Testament. When you see the plagues falling, they were in Egypt, wasn't they? And God was bringing His people out to the promised land. Is that right? And Israel never received one plague. Just as the plagues... Before it went, they went into Goshen. Is that right? And the sun never did dim out; no mosquitoes come; no frogs was there; no lice was there; no storms was there; no lightning was there; no killing of the cattle was there; and everything they had was preserved in Goshen. Is that right? It's a type of the church going just before the tribulation period. Jesus said, "When these things begin to come to pass, lift up your head, your redemption is nigh." See?

I believe that the moon and sun and stars... And they said that... I'll go ahead and read It, said, "And man run and hid themselves in the--and fell upon their--sought to kill theirselves, and couldn't do it, and everything." I believe that takes place just before the tribulation.

Now, watch, the tribulation comes. When the tribulation strikes, the church goes up. Now, remember, just an ordinary church without the Holy Ghost goes through the tribulation period. It's only the elect that goes through.

Oh, I could rub something hard here, just for a minute. Would you give me three more minutes? What is the--the raptured people called, the remnant? Is that right? All right... I--I mean it's--it's the Bride. Now, the remnant was left.

REDEMPTION BY POWER LVL KY 54-0329

34 016 Now, turn to the 10th verse of the 12th chapter of Exodus. We were reading, the "Redemption By Blood," how that God had ordained a lamb to be slain in each house, how there was to be nothing left over.

The judgments had been falling, and the last judgment now was ready to fall. God was going to fulfill His Word to the letter. And all those judgments back there was a perfect sign, or a perfect type, of the judgments which are ready to fall now.

And if you'll notice, before the judgment fell... Now, ministers may disagree with me on this, which is all right. But before the judgment started hitting Egypt, God sent Israel to Goshen. They were in Goshen, and no plague fell on them, a perfect type of the Church carried over through the tribulation. See? All right.

E-19 019 God promised them that He'd bring them out under a mighty hand. And all of those things there of the pilgrimage, from the children of Israel cast out down in Egypt... We know the story how God sent them down there, and they had their habitations, got in Goshen, and became a great popular, through the prophet, Joseph. And then, after the time of the promise drew nigh, there raised up a Pharaoh who did not know Joseph.

We're going to have one raised up, one of these days, that knows not Joseph. After while, the time drew nigh, God sent a saviour to them. I think the greatest mistake that Israel ever made was the 19th chapter of Exodus, where after grace had already provided a savior, had already provided a lamb, had already provided deliverance, and then they said, "Let us do something." See?

LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE JEFF IN 56-0603

E-29 029 Then this wise virgin went away in the translation. And these others who came and knocked on the door, what happened? What taken place? The Bible said they were cast into outer darkness, where there were weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth.

Israel, when the tribulation period hit Egypt, there wasn't one thing ever struck Egypt--the Israelites, because they were in God's provided place: Goshen, no tribulations at all. See? The rest of them was in the tribulation, but not this one. Now, all those things being shadows, they've got to type something.

And then as we see the forecoming of the Lord, we see how people walked in those days, and see how people got heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. That's the way it is today. Men are walking after their own ungodly lusts. It's become to the thing. Excuse this expression, my sisters, but it's come to real moral decency is a thing, almost, of the past, among our people.

CALLED OUT CHICAGO IL 58-0109

E-22 022 Noah went into the ark for safety. Lot came out of Sodom. One came out; the other went in. What is it the type of, when it's conglomerated together? It's the type of the Church coming out of the world for safety, and going into the ark of Christ to go to glory. One come out, the other went in. One come out to keep from being destroyed with the world; the other one went into the ark of safety. And Christ is the Ark of safety.

And remember. Before that the judgments of hail, fire, and darkness swept over Egypt, Israel made her way to Goshen where there was light. And Egypt was left to wander in the darkness.

Men and woman, listen to me now. Before you're left on this earth of misery, and canker here in sin, run to the Light as hard as you can go... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.], the Light, Christ Jesus, and accept His Message of mercy.

"Hurry," said the Angel, "and escape thither, for I can't do nothing till thou has come out," judgment cannot come.

HIS WONDERS TO PERFORM CHICAGO IL 58-0112A

E-9 009 Now, in the beginning when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, there's a few things right there what I'd like to just settle on for a few moments. How mysterious it was, and at that day unto scholars and men who should know that His coming was drawing nigh... And there was great things beginning to heap up, like it is in each junction of time, as we were speaking the other night.

Just before great judgment strikes the earth, God always sends an angel of mercy. In the days of Noah, the days of Lot... Moses went into Egypt to call out Israel to Goshen. And just before the great advent of the Lord Jesus, angels appeared, prophets rose on the earth, great signs and wonders, which was disbelieved by the majority. But God is just to show those things: mercy before judgment.

ESCAPE HITHER COME QUICKLY WATERLOO IA 58-0202

E-27 027 Now, I want you to notice. In every place before the judgment struck, there was always a supernatural thing taken place. And Noah, they come through a long time waiting. And then there appeared an Angel, a prophet, Enoch, and so forth. And supernatural signs was done. And they went in.

I want you to notice that the bringing out the children of Israel; it was a long time, hundreds of years; nothing taken place, no supernatural since the death of Joseph, which was a type of Christ. But just before the judgment struck Egypt, when God brought His church out, there was a message, a prophet appeared, Angels appeared, supernatural signs taken place; and the children of God was issued into Goshen where they were free from the plagues before their coming out.

WILL CHURCH GO BEFORE TRIBULATION JEFF IN 58-0309E

E-27 027 Get away from these old modern things. Get away from that television when them kind of a plays come on. Get... Turn that radio off when this rock-and-roll starts. Act like a lady; dress like a lady. Act like a man; dress like a man. Talk like a Christian; live like a Christian. Get all the bridges burnt. Hurry, get out. Destruction is at hand. God's sick and tired. Oh, it is later than you think. The hour is at hand.

The Angel's mercy... The Angel of mercy Who sent His Message is right here tonight. Do you believe it? Does the church have to go before the tribulation period?

Look, Israel went into Goshen, and Egypt went into darkness. Egypt got into Goshen, was taken to the promised land. Egypt went into darkness and was buried in the Dead Sea.

ONCOMING STORM PHOENIX AZ 60-0229

107 046 I'm told in the Bible that there'll be a time come for those who are not in this wonderful Son Light, that the fowls of the air will eat the flesh of them, that diseases is on its road, that the doctors will never be able to stop. It's the plagues of God.

The Egyptians' doctors, which was far smarter than ours today, could not stop the plagues of God, neither could their soothsayers or their impersonators. It took Goshen, and the power of God to hold His people, under the blood of a lamb.

The Holy Spirit is that Door today. The Holy Spirit is that Safety today.

EVER PRESENT WATER JEFF IN 61-0723M

68 037 Now, when they were down in Egypt, and God sent Moses and he stretched forth the rod, and fleas and lice come on the ground... He stretched forth towards the sun, and it went down. He stretched it over the waters, and they turned to blood. Why, Israel was over in Canaan's--over in--in Goshen, just having a glorious time; the sun never went down; the plagues never struck them; why, they were just having a glorious time, just like you did when you first got saved.

Everything, the birds sang different, and everybody was sweet. And, oh, my, how everything just was dandy when you first got saved. Then come the trying time, the chastening, sanctifying time, sanctifying yourself from things of the world, "laying aside the weights that does so easily beset you." You, a man, had to stop your smoking, stop your drinking, stop your going to the pool room, your all night card parties. All those things, you had to sanctify yourself from them by the faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ: sanctifying yourself. You women had to let your hair grow out, lengthen your dresses, and act like different than what you was: sanctifying time. Many times they'd rebel and go back; well, that's not a child of God. See? A child of God looks straight to Calvary and knows that it's for his good.

683-194 095 In other words like this: "If you seen God provide and do a miracle, then can't He do a miracle again? See? See, if... In other words, like this: If He saved you from a life of sin, can He not heal your body? Don't you remember when you was a sinner how He lifted up your soul in faith to believe? Can't He likewise do something great for you again? Can't He--can't He do the--miracle or anything else for you? The five baskets... Said, "Remember..."

Like the... When they crossed over the Red Sea, God opened up the way like that and made the Red Sea open like that, and walked through, he come right on the other side; and as soon as he got without water, they started murmuring. Is that right? As soon as they got without bread they started crying out, "We don't have no bread." See? Said, "Didn't you consider the miracle back there at the Red Sea? Have not you come down..." When they got--all got in a spot by the Red Sea, "Oh," they said, "we ought to have died. Here comes the Egyptians right on us now. Here it is; what are we going to do?"

Said, "Who smote the earth with plagues down there? Who kept the sun shining in Goshen?" See? We must remember those things; remember God is God. Hallelujah. Any of it, He's still God. He certainly can do anything.

SIGN OF HIS COMING CLEVELAND TN 62-0407

E-77 077 Could you think of Ezekiel, another prophet? Why, Ezekiel, that man, God told him, "I'm going to..." Just before the judgment came... God sent Moses before the judgment, sent Noah before the judgment. He sent Noah and got all the people... I mean, Moses, and got the people over in--in the land where they--and where they would not be bothered with the plagues. And He sent Noah, and took all the believers in the ark, and destroyed the unbelievers of it--of Noah's sign (building an ark, preparing, prophesying what was going to happen). All that went in the ark was saved. All that went into Goshen was saved.

LETTING OFF PRESSURE PHOENIX AZ 63-0113M

E-63 063 Lord Jesus, I want to express again, Lord, in thanksgiving that there is a little place here in Phoenix, and all around different places. And this is one of them that I--I myself, I--I can come and I--I can feel at rest. There's nothing binding me. I--I just say the words. What a place that is: free, all pressure gone. I'm so thankful for it, Lord.

O Lord, may that great Rock ever lay at this altar, where the little wayward eaglets around over the city can come in, and be introduced to a place to beat the crust of the world from them, that they can enjoy this fellowship by letting off the pressure in this day of atomic age when the world is scared. Each nation is shaking. The skies are trembling. All nature's crying out. The world itself is trembling because it could be blowed to bits. But we have a Kingdom that cannot be moved. We have a City of refuge. We have a Goshen, where the sun will never go down. Grant it, Lord. Let us come to this Rock now.

ONLY ONE WAY PROVIDED BY GOD CHICAGO IL 63-0731

123 051 Death struck Egypt. He was going to kill everything in Egypt. Now remember, when the boils were breaking out, when the fire was falling, and when the rains come and the hail come, God provided a place for His elect not to get into that. He had a place called Goshen. Now, there was coming a spirit of death upon the land. And every man... Remember, death is the reason we die. And Israel had to have something to keep them from dying, or death would've struck them too. 'Cause the pen--penal... The wages of sin is death, and Israel had sinned. And God, so that they would not die, His people who were trying to follow Him, He provided a lamb, and a blood over a door, that protected their firstborn: God's provided way. While Egypt thought they could shut theirselves in, around all their great theologians and witch doctors, and whatever they had, the... And death angel swept right in over top of that, 'cause it was without blood.

The Holy Spirit draws the people. Oh, when it come time for the great wrath of God to fall, every... There come two ducks: male and female. Here come two geese: male and female. Here come two horses: male and female, something another pulling them: the predestinated. The rest of them perished. Oh. The rest of them perished.

35-6 115 But you believe. Get beneath it. Israel didn't come together to say, "Let's all go over to Goshen today. We'll drive up to Goshen. You get on your camel, and we'll take the ox cart, and we'll take the Joneses over here, and so forth, and--and the Goldbergs, and we'll all go up to--to Goshen. And you know what? Moses is going to speak today."

That wasn't it. No, sir, brother. It's to get beneath that blood. Yes, indeed. Not to talk about it, get into it.

One of them say, "You know, Mr. Goldberg, I actually know that's the truth. Yes, brother, I believe it is the truth. I know that it is the truth."

"Mr. Levinski, what do you think about it?"

"It is absolutely the truth. I seen the power of Jehovah God, speaking. I seen those frogs come out of that land. I know that it didn't happen until he said it, and I know that that's Jehovah God." Now, that is all fine.

"Are you circumcised?"

"Yes, sir."

"Are--are--are you a believer?"

"Yes, sir."

And then, when he heard Pastor Moses speak that day, he said, "But you've got to get beneath that blood, for God said the blood is a token."

TOKEN THE BAKF CA 64-0208

61 027 Israel coming out of Egypt, as I said a few minutes ago, is a type of the Bride coming out of the church. When Moses begin His ministry, Israel gathered together in one place, in Goshen, begin to pray because they knowed that the hour was at hand, because they knew something was there. The deliverer had already come. God was working, doing things, showing what He was going to do. They come from all parts of Egypt, just like they will at the day of His coming. They'll take people out of the Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran. All those who are identified in Christ by the Token, God will take them with Him when He comes.

E-2 002 Brother Leo, Brother Gene and pilgrims, I--I deem this one of the grand privileges that I've had to come here to see for myself what you have here on these grounds. It's a... I have been blessed as I moved across the little creek there, and see this court. And I... One time when Brother Leo was making tapes, and I told him that surely there was something greater in life for him than to make tapes... And of course tape-making is something we must do, but... It--it blessed us. But there's something else. We're all cut out for different things to do.

And to come here this morning, and look at this fine little Jerusalem setting out here, a little, what I called it Goshen, I believe, when we come over this morning. You remember, Goshen was one of the places that they worshipped, one of the first places the tent was pitched. And to meet old friends, and--and new, and to have this time allotted to us, I just... It seems like that--that you just don't want to leave. There's just something that wants to hold you. I can see why you people would want to stay here. See? It's something that grips you.

1010-Q-284 038 284. Question: Brother Branham, where will the Bride be when the earth explodes and burns up? Will it be in a place like the children of Israel were in Goshen when the plagues fell? Will the Bride be on earth while this takes place? If so, where? And will the Bride all be in one place at the time of the rapture?

The Bride, when the earth explodes... The time of the rapture will be the awakening of the dead and the get-togethering of the living, for--with the living, for the rapture to take place. Now, but the Bride... Now, see, one of them is a rapture way back here before the millennium. And when the earth burns up is back here after the millennium and after the white throne judgment. See? The Saints will be camped upon the breadth of the earth when Satan comes up around the beloved City and God rains fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them. All right. Now, that's Scripture.

22-5 065 Then he stretched forth his rod at the command of God and said, "Let frogs come up and cover the earth." And the frogs come till they heaped them up in piles, and stink was everywhere, maybe forty or fifty feet high of frogs. They were in the cupboard of--of Pharaoh. They were in the... Turn down the sheets and there'd be five hundred frogs under the sheet, under the bed, in the rugs. Everywhere they went was frogs, frogs, frogs. Where did they come from? God the Creator is sovereign. What He says, He will do.

And He said there would be hideous sights upon the earth: locusts with hair like women, long hair to haunt them women that cut their hair. Teeth like lions, stingers in their tails like scorpions... They will torment men months.

Just wait till we get in to open those plagues and seals and them seven thunders. Watch what takes place. Oh, brother, you better get to Goshen while there's time to get to Goshen. Don't pay any attention to this outside.
