Digno de cada respirar que poderíamos respirar
Nós vivemos para você
Nós vivemos para você

Santo não há ninguém como você
Não há ninguém ao seu lado
Abra os olhos na maravilha
Mostre-me quem você é
E encha-me com seu coração
E guia-me seu amor
Com os braços em volta de mim

Edificarei a minha vida, sobre seu amor
É uma base sólida
Eu vou colocar minha confiança em você oh senhor
E eu não será abalada

Robert Purnell

God sent His prophet as God said He would, to “Restore” the Word of God.

One Sunday morning in June, 1933, God gave seven major continuous visions to His prophet William Marrion Branham

THE SEVENTH VISION.
“The last and seventh vision was wherein I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America.”

Russia now has a missile which can destroy a nation the size of France or a state the size of Texas, destruction is one button push away.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNfn17y7iNo

The Lord prophesied that He would send a prophet at this time.
Malachi 4:5.
Matthew 17:11
Revelation 10:7.

God has raised the dead on FIVE occasions through His chosen vessel.

God was photographed SIX times, (Veiled in the form of the Pillar of Fire) with His prophet.

The, “Elijah anointing,” (Concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ) is used “TWICE.”

The first time 2,000 years ago, when God sent John the Baptist, then again in this day.

At each, “Coming of the Lord,” there is an Elijah prophet who precedes that, “Coming.”

Jesus said concerning John the Baptist.
Matthew 3:3.
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Elijah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

John, “Prepared the way for the Lord,” John did NOT “Restore anything,” as that which would need to be restored, (The full understanding of the whole Bible,) had not yet been given.

This scripture concerns the Elijah prophet for, “THIS DAY.”
Matthew 17:11.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall FIRST COME, and RESTORE all things.

God has fulfilled the above scripture in THIS DAY.

This scripture also predicts the Elijah prophet for “This day”.....
Malachi 4:5.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

This Elijah prophet comes just before, “The coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord,” which happens in this day.

We are now living in the last days, God has kept His word and sent that prophet, thereby “Restoring” His word to His Bride.

These and other “Prophetical scriptures” fulfilled:
Malachi 4:5.
Matthew 17:11.
Revelation 10:7.
Revelation 3:14.
Revelation 1:16 – 20.
Revelation 2:1.
Revelation 3:1.
