The  20^th century molten calf

It was at the time when Moses the prophet of God was at the mount communing in the presence of Jehovah to receive the Law and the whole camp was entrusted to the elders who received commandment that in Moses’ absence, if any man had any matter to do, they should go to Aaron and Hur.

It was at the time when the people grew impatient and everyone went to Aaron and said “ Up, make us gods that will go before us. For as for this Moses, the man who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him”. The same devil who put these words in their mouth and discerned that though the people have gone out of Egypt yet had brought with them a piece of it and hid it in their hearts is the same devil who corrupted the mind of Aaron to make a “molten calf” and called it the very God that Moses preached to them and said “Behold. This be thy God that brought thee out of Egypt”. And so as the Scripture saith “and they rejoiced in the works of their hands”.

Moses brought the message in his day to Israel. And God is expressed in His own Word. To see the anointed Word or the Message of the Age is to see God. To believe it is to believe God’s provided way of the time. You cannot add or take a word from it. What if Noah built the ark but did not follow exactly the Lord’s instruction? Do you think his ark would have survived the flood? It was his provided way of escape as long as he follows God’s order to the dot. And the ark typed Christ. God commanded what kind of woods and materials to be used. He was the author of its design and measurements. If Noah deviated from it even a bit it would not have been the Christ of his time. He may have called it the Ark of God but still it would have just been like the “molten calf “ in his time though they called it ‘the God that brought them out of Egypt”.

Every time a man would inject his own thinking to the Word of God, it becomes the word of man and not of God. No matter if he would use the Scriptures it still would not be God’s Word. Some people use the WORD to express their own thought. Just like Martha who tried to use Christ to express her thought saying “bid her therefore that she helped me”. Jesus is our Lord and if  He is to you, you take commandment from Him and not Him getting commandments from you. Any preacher or any prophet who would be in any pulpit to preach his own thought and would add or take any word from the message of the hour will only be preaching his own “molten calf” though he would say “this be thy god who brought thee out of Egypt”.

Who would have had the courage to tell Aaron that he was doing wrong? Or who would not have believed what he preached in the camp at that time? Did not Moses told them if they have any matter to do they should go to Aaron? Did not God ordained Aaron the high priest to be Moses’ prophet to pharaoh? Or how many times did they witness Aaron was with Moses when he approached the presence of Jehovah? Was not Aaron related to Moses the prophet of God by blood?

If there was any man in the camp who was with reputation and credentials and most qualified. If there was any man in the whole camp who could easily gain the people’s trust, it should be Aaron the High priest of Israel. But then it was written “for Aaron made them naked into their shame among their enemies”.

The same God who sent Moses to be His witness in that age and in every age is the same God who sent a prophet in our time. A witness by whom God revealed His whole mystery. His name is William Marrion Branham. Before God took him away, he made statements like Moses saying “You ministering brethren, if you have questions concerning doctrine, ask my associate brother Lee Vayle.” He left ministers who had been with him in the time of his ministry in times when Jehovah would manifest His presence in the midst of the congregations. He left people who are related to him by blood who put their hands in the ministry when he was gone. Who would not believe these people? Who would take courage to stand against anything they say though it is not according to what the prophet had said? These are like Aaron who have the reputations and credentials. Their names were mentioned in most of the prophet’s sermons.

But in the absence of Bro. Branham (for he is now in the presence of God), some of them preached that Jesus, the Son of God, is not the almighty Jehovah and should not be worshipped as the only true God. That He is a different being from the Father. Some of them preached that the recorded sermons of Bro. Branham should be played as the sermon of the day in every service. Thus denying the power and works of the Holy Ghost through the five-fold ministry. And many other doctrines that are not in line with the message of the hour. And all of them have the boldness to say “this is what the prophet taught. This is the Scripture”. These are like Aaron who once said in the absence of Moses, “This be thy God  who brought thee out of Egypt”. And it is nothing but a PRESENT DAY MOLTEN CALF.

Beware lest we shall be found naked into our shame among our enemies while rejoicing in the works of our hands (man-made doctrines) and not in Jesus Christ. Let us all contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints.
