"The coming of Jesus is three times. Did you know that? Jesus come the first time to redeem His Bride. He comes the next time; we're caught up in the air to meet him in the air. We caught up to meet Him. He comes to receive His Bride. The next time He comes, He comes as King and Queen to reign on the earth with His Bride: three comings. Right. "

"Jesus
come three times. One time He come to redeem
His wife. Next time He comes to catch her away.
And the next time He comes with her: three comings.
See? Everything it like: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (See?) all, everything's
in a three. The mathematics of the Bible is perfect."
(William Branham, PARADOX_ TAMPA.FL 64-0418B)
"Christ comes three times. The first time He came to redeem His church. Is that right? The second time He comes to receive His church. The third time He comes with His church. See? He come to redeem her; He comes to rapture her and be caught away, in the time of the plagues and so forth; returns back for the millennium, lives through the millennium."

THE THREE COMINGS - A SUMMARY
SOME
POINTS OF CLARIFICATION
By Pastor Ron Millevo
1. THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST IS NOT FINISHED YET, contrary to some who teach that the rapture took place in 1963. Some teach that we are now living in the THIRD COMING of CHRIST. I say, we are not. We are still at the CLIMAX of the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. When the rapture takes place, the Bride will have to undergo a "body-change". This corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal flesh must put on immortality. That's a promise in the Bible (1 Cor. 15:52-54; 1 Thes. 4:16-18). Don't let any preacher deprive you of that divine promise.
How could any preacher teach that the rapture already took place in FEBRUARY 28, 1963 (on that ARIZONA CLOUD) when in fact Brother Branham himself was still looking for a true physical body-change or "rapture" even after such an incident on Sunset Mountain, till his death in 1965?
Read Brother Branham's excerpts below to prove my point:
April
12, 1963 - (WORLD'S.FALLING.APART_
ALBQ.NM FRIDAY_ 63-0412M)
"I don't want to hurt you. I want to bless you. Listen. One of these
days the rapture will come by, and the Bride will be gone, and you'll
know nothing about it. They won't even know a word about it."
July 14,
1963 - (WARNING.THEN.JUDGMENT_ JEFF.IN WEDNESDAY_ 63-0724)
"The Bible through the seven seals has perfectly been revealed, waiting
only now for them seven mysteries right at last, on the coming of the
Lord and the rapture of the Church that might happen before morning. Oh,
my."
August 25,
1963 - (PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0825E)
"We're coming now to the perfection, because the people has to
come to this in order for the rapture. That's what's holding it away
right now, is waiting for that church to come into that perfect raptured faith.
I'm looking for it. It means a lot of shaking down for me; it means
a lot for you; but together we'll make it by the grace of God. Amen."
August 25,
1963 - (HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0825M)
"And now, at the coming of the Lord Jesus, those who are really
loving His a-coming, that's living for it, when He appears in the sky,
the Church that's dead in Christ shall rise and those will be changed in a
moment. The rest of them know nothing about it. Remember, appeared to
those in the city. See, the--the--the rapture will be like that. We'll
see each other, and we'll see them. The rest of the world won't see them.
It'll be caught away as a secret going, waiting for that time, then returning
back to the earth for that glorious millennium, then the thousand years.
November
27, 1963 - (WORLD.AGAIN.FALLING.APART SHP.LA 63-1127)
"I look for a rapture, for just a handful of people (That's right.),
just a handful of people. They'll never be missed in the world. When they
go, you'll never know it's gone. That's right. It'll come like a thief
in the night."
March 19,
1964 - (CALLING.JESUS.ON.THE.SCENE_ DENHAM 64-0319)
"I'm looking for Him today. If He isn't here today, I'll be
looking for Him tomorrow. If He isn't there tomorrow, I'll be looking
the next day. If He isn't here this year, I'll be looking next year for Him.
I know He's coming. I don't know the minute or the hour. But I know everything's
fulfilled, ready for the rapture. The church is called out. It'll be a
secret going, just vanish, and that'll be all."
August 23,
1964 - (QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD 64-0823M)
"We're just to wait on the coming of the Lord. Just wait; keep
your lamps trimmed, all filled full of oil. Pray up every hour, not every
day, every hour. Just keep ready; be ready; be sweet, and watching..."
August 23,
1964 - (QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD 64-0823M)
"Jesus said, "When the Son of man shall appear," why,
said, "it'd be like the Light that shines from the east even into the
west." The whole thing, there'll be a resurrection, a rapture, and
away it'll go. And before it ever go up to meet Him... By faith I believe
it in His grace, that we will be among those people that'll be caught up….
These mortal bodies will not see death, but just of a sudden, there'll be
like a sweep go over us, and you're changed. You're turned back
like Abraham was, from an old man to a young man, from an old woman to a young
woman. What's this sudden change? And after while you--you're traveling
like a thought, and you can see those then who are already resurrected.
Oh, what a hour. Then we'll gather with them and then be caught up with
them to meet the Lord in the air."
December
4, 1965 - (RAPTURE.THE_ YUMA.AZ SATURDAY_ 65-1204)
"Now, we're ready, waiting for the raptures of--the
rapture of the saints. It's been spoken and so shall it be."
------------------------------------------------------
SOME CONTROVERSIAL TEACHINGS (Beware):
Aside from the teaching that says, "the rapture is past", here are some "new-light" (so-called) that you have to be wary of:
1. SOME TEACH THAT THE "SECOND COMING OF CHRIST" ENDED IN 1963 AT THE APPEARING OF THE MYSTERY-CLOUD ON SUNSET MOUNTAIN. WE ARE NOW IN THE "THIRD COMING". ARE WE?
2. SOME TEACH THAT WE ARE NOW LIVING IN THE MILLENNIUM. ARE WE REALLY LIVING IN THE MILLENNIUM RIGHT NOW?
3. SOME TEACH THAT YOU ARE NOW IN YOUR GLORIFIED BODY. DO WE HAVE OUR THEOPHANY INSIDE OF US NOW? OR WILL THE THEOPHANY COME TO US DURING THE PHYSICAL CHANGE OF OUR BODIES IN THE RAPTURE?
4. SOME TEACH THAT WE ARE NOW LIVING IN ETERNITY, THE "EIGHTH DAY". WHAT REALLY IS THE "EIGHTH DAY"?
5. SOME TEACH THAT JESUS' FLESH IS A SERPENT SINCE THE BIBLE CALL HIM THE "BRAZEN SERPENT". AND ADAM'S BODY IS A SERPENT AS WELL SINCE HE WAS THE ONE WHO INTRODUCED SEX REPRODUCTION TO EVE. HOW COME?
6. SOME TEACH THAT THE "LAKE OF FIRE" IS GOD HIMSELF SINCE THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD IS A "CONSUMING FIRE". CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
