Dear Branham Tabernacle,
亲爱的伯南汉会幕：
Greetings to the Bride of Jesus Christ from around the world, who believe the Branham Tabernacle, the Voice of God, is their home church where they are being spiritually fed by the hidden Manna that has been stored up and preserved for the Bride of Christ.
向来自世界各地的相信伯南汉会幕，神的声音的是他们所属教会的耶稣基督新妇问好，在那里他们正接受为基督新妇所储备并保留的隐藏吗哪的属灵喂养。
This is my home base; this is my headquarters; here’s where we’re set up at. Now, hold that in mind no matter what takes place. Now, if you’re wise, you’ll catch something. No matter what takes place, this is our headquarters, right here!
这是我的大本营；这是我的总部；这就是我们建立的地方。看啊，无论发生什么，请记住这一点。现在，如果你是智慧的，你会领悟到一些东西。无论发生什么，这就是我们的总部，就在这里！
（ 64-0823M 第252 段）
Many believers have always misunderstood or placed their own idea or interpretation to what the prophet said here, but he is telling the Bride straight, “if you’re wise, you’ll catch something, this is our headquarters, right here!”
许多信徒总是误解先知在这里所说的话，或者加上他们自己的想法或解释，但他正直截了当地告诉新妇：“如果你是智慧的，你会领悟到一些东西，这就是我们的总部，就在这里！”
What did he mean by that?
他那样说是什么意思呢？
When Brother Branham was here, many misunderstood him and thought the Bride had to go to Arizona and follow him there, to be in the Rapture. Brother Branham answered them clearly: STAY HERE, THIS IS THE PLACE.
当伯南汉弟兄还在世时，许多人误解了他，以为新妇必须去亚利桑那州并在那里跟随他，才能参加被提。伯南汉弟兄清楚地回答了他们：留在这里，这就是那地方。
A whole big group of them took off that way, and they wanted to go this and do that, after I told them to stay there. Stay there, stay right here; this is the place.
他们中有一大群人就这样出发了，在我告诉他们留在那儿之后，他们还想去这儿做那儿。留在那里，就留在这里；这就是那地方。
（ 64-0823M 第 237 段）
People took off from everywhere around the United States to go to Arizona, but he clearly told them: Stay right here, this is the place!
人们从美国各地出发前往亚利桑那州，但他清楚地告诉他们：就留在这里，这就是那地方！
Stay in Jeffersonville? That is what he said!
留在杰斐逊维尔？他就是这么说的！
My Revelation is, it was God, speaking through His prophet and telling the people, “STAY WITH THE TAPES.” That is THE PLACE!
我的启示是：这是神藉着祂的先知说话，并告诉人们，“留在那录音带旁。”那就是那地方！
He was so upset and said he had to do something with all them people. What must he do? What church would he send them to? Where should they go? What did Brother Branham say he must do?
他非常难过，并说他必须对所有那些人做点什么。他该做什么呢？他该把他们送到哪个教会去？他们该去哪里？伯南汉弟兄说他必须做什么？
So now, I’ve got to bring them kids back here for something to eat. They’re down there in the desert starving.
所以看啊，我得把那些孩子带回到这里来吃点东西。他们在沙漠里快要饿死了。
（ 64-0823M 第257段）
He didn’t say they would need to go to a local church and get what little nuggets they could feed upon. He said he must bring them BACK HERE for something to eat, or they would STARVE TO DEATH.
他没有说他们需要去当地的教会，获取那一点点可以喂养自己的零星金块。他说他必须把他们带回到这里吃点东西，否则他们会饿死。
MY REVELATION, FRIENDS.
我的启示，朋友们。
Now, not to once again misunderstand him, or say something he didn’t say, by saying, “Brother Branham wanted every believer to move to Jeffersonville to be the Bride.” Brother Branham knew all them people, and EVERY believer from around the world, could not move and live in Jeffersonville. That would be impossible. So what did he mean? He was UNITING the Bride of Christ around the TAPES that had been recorded and stored up for the Bride to feed upon.
看啊，不要再一次误解他，或说些他没说过的话，比如声称：“伯南汉弟兄想要每个信徒都搬到杰斐逊维尔来成为新妇。”伯南汉弟兄知道所有那些人，以及来自世界各地的每一位信徒，是不可能都搬到杰斐逊维尔居住的。那是不可能的。那么他是什么意思呢？他是在围绕着为使新妇得着喂养而录制并储藏的录音带，将基督的新妇联合起来。
This Message, This Voice, is God’s Spoken Word for today and It will unite and perfect the Bride of Jesus Christ.
这个信息，这个声音，是神为今日所说出的道，它将联合并成全耶稣基督的新妇。
The carcase is what the eagles feed on. Now, a eagle is considered in the Bible, a prophet. A prophet is a eagle. God—God calls Himself a Eagle, and we’re “eaglets” then, the—the believers. You see? And what is the carcase that they feed on? Is the Word. Wherever the Word is, the true nature of the bird will show itself.
鹰所吃的是尸首。看啊，在圣经中，鹰被认为是指先知。先知就是鹰。神——神称祂自己为鹰，那么我们就是“小鹰”，即——即信徒。你看到了吗？他们所吃的尸首是什么？就是神的道。神的道在哪里，这鸟的真实本性就会在哪里显现出来。
（ 64-0823M 第 53段）
Where is the pure, vindicated, no misunderstandings, Thus Saith The Lord Word for today? There is only one place, The Tapes.
今日那纯净的、被证实的、没有误解的、主如此说的神的道在哪里？只有一个地方，就是那录音带。
I could go on and on, quote by quote, but this Message and what Brother Branham said takes a Revelation from God. We must read between the lines by revelation, but say what he said. For It is the PURE WORD.
我可以引用一个又一个引语一直说下去，但这个信息以及伯南汉弟兄所说的话需要从神而来的启示。我们必须通过启示来读懂字里行间的意思，但要说他所说的话。因为那是纯净的神的道。
Question and Answers for today and what I BELIEVE.
今日的问题与解答，以及我所相信的。
Today, many ministers are saying to the people that by having Home Tape Church we are out of the Word and what Brother Branham said to do. They feel we must go to what they call and consider a church.
今天，许多传道人对人们说，靠着举行家庭录音带聚会，我们就偏离了神的道以及伯南汉弟兄所吩咐要做的事。他们觉得我们必须去他们所称呼并认为是教会的地方。
There are truly many, many quotes where Brother Branham clearly says this.
确实有非常、非常多的引语，伯南汉弟兄在其中清楚地这样说过。
Now, you go to some good Full Gospel church and get you a church home.
看啊，你去某个好的全福音教会，为自己找一个固定的教会。
（ 64-0823M 第214 段）
And I believe that with all my heart, because he said so. But I believe we are doing that by HAVING HOME TAPE CHURCH. Our location isn’t what is important to the Lord. That’s just a building. But our duty to the Lord is to stay with His Word, NOT A LOCATION OR A BUILDING. The location doesn’t save and perfect the Bride, THE WORD DOES.
我全心全意地相信这一点，因为他是这么说的。但我相信我们正通过举行家庭录音带聚会在这样做。我们的所在地对主来说并不重要。那只是一个建筑。但我们对主的责任，是坚守祂的道，而不是一个地点或建筑。地点并不能救赎和成全新妇，神的道才能够。
If I go to a church building, but they have forgotten the MAIN THING: to hear the Voice of God by Pressing Play, and have replaced it by ONLY hearing the ministers preach the Message, will that completely satisfy and feed your soul? It might satisfy your soul, my brother and sister, but it will not satisfy the Bride.
如果我去一个教会建筑，但他们忘记了最重要的事：通过按下播放键来聆听神的声音，而是用 仅仅听传道人传讲信息来取代它，那能完全满足并喂养你的灵魂吗？我的弟兄姐妹，那或许能满足你的灵魂，但它无法满足新妇。
Let me interject here and say there are thousands of people that have no church building to go to. Are they lost? If they don’t have a pastor or church, does that mean they can’t be the Bride? If you live within 100 miles of a church building, do you have to go to that church? But if I live further away, I don’t have to? I must stream a preacher, but I can’t stream the tapes? The physical building is what the prophet is saying is the most important thing we must go to?
让我在这里插一句话：有成千上万的人没有教会建筑可以去。难道他们就失丧了吗？如果他们没有牧师或教会，是否意味着他们不能成为新妇？如果你住在离教会建筑100英里的范围内，你就必须去那个教会吗？但如果我住得更远，我就不必去了吗？我必须在线听一个传道人，但我不能在线听录音带吗？难道先知是说实体的建筑才是我们必须去的最重要的东西吗？
Where did the prophet want to bring the Bride to?
先知想要把新妇带到哪里去？
If you can’t come here at the tabernacle, get some church somewhere; go to it.
如果你不能来这儿的会幕，就在某处找个教会；去那里。（ 64-0823M 第215段）
Once again, where is his first choice to send the people? To the Branham Tabernacle, the Word, the tapes. That is what God has provided His Bride to do in this end-time, and we’re doing it every day AND every Sunday.
重申一次,他送人们去的地方，首选之地在哪儿？送到伯南汉会幕，送到神的道，送到录音带那里。这就是神在这末世为祂的新妇所预备要做的事，而我们每天以及每个主日都在这样做。
So I’m not misunderstood. I AM NOT SAYING you must stream the tapes with the Branham Tabernacle to be the Bride. I’m NOT SAYING you shouldn’t go to church. I’m NOT SAYING you can’t listen to ministers. If you believe that, you are off the Word. I’m saying hearing the Voice of God on the tapes is the most important Voice YOU MUST HEAR, and I believe that every pastor should play that Voice, the tapes, in their churches. But they have made every excuse there is TO NOT PLAY THE TAPES. If that is your church, you’re not feeding on the Word.
为了不被误解：我不是在说你必须和伯南汉会幕一起在线听录音带才能成为新妇。我不是在说你不应该去教会。我不是在说你不能听传道人讲道。如果你那样相信，你就偏离了神的道。我是说，听录音带上神的声音是你必须听到的最重要的声音，而且我相信每位牧师都应该在他们的教会中播放那个声音，即录音带。但他们找遍了各种借口不播放录音带。如果那是你的教会，你就没有在以神的道为食物。
This is clearly what he did not want to happen and what the people were doing.
这显然是他不希望发生的事，也是那些人当时正在做的事。
And you go to church; don’t set at home, go fishing, and hunting, and things like that on Sunday.
你们要去教会；不要在礼拜天坐在家里，去钓鱼、打猎，或者做类似那样的事。（ 64-0823M 第210 段）
We’re not. We’re uniting around the only thing that will unite the Bride, This Message, This Voice.
我们没有。我们正围绕着唯一能联合新妇的东西——这个信息，这个声音——联合起来。
Once again, I do believe in going to church. There are many churches around the world that are placing the tapes first in their pulpits, praise the Lord. Do I believe you have to stay at home or you’re not the Bride? NO, NO, NO….I’ve never thought it, never believed it. I just want you to PRESS PLAY no matter where you are or what church you go to.
重申一次，我确实相信要去教会。世界各地有许多教会正把录音带放在讲台的首位，赞美主。我是否相信你必须待在家里否则你就不是新妇？不，不，不……我从未那样想过，也从未那样相信过。我只是希望无论你在哪里或去哪个教会，都要按下播放键。
If you don’t have a Revelation of what he is saying, then you could clearly say, “I don’t have to listen to Brother Branham or even have to AGREE with all he says. He even said so, there are so many other God-called men.”
如果你对他所说的话没有启示，那么你可能会明确地说：“我不必听伯南汉弟兄的，甚至不必‘同意’他所说的一切。他甚至也这样说过，还有很多其他神所呼召的人。”
Go ahead. We notice here, says, “Should we go to another church that disagrees with you?” Sure, I don’t…I’m not the only pebble on the beach, you know. There’s—there’s just other godly men everywhere; I hope I’m one of them.
去吧。我们注意到这里说，“我们应该去另一个不同意你观点的教会吗？”当然可以，我不……你知道，我并不是沙滩上唯一的石子。到处都有其他敬虔的人；我希望我是其中之一。（ 64-0823M 第 208 段）
The Voice of God on the tapes is MY PEBBLE, MY ROCK. It is the Voice I want to hear and the Voice I want the Branham Tabernacle to hear.
录音带上神的声音是我的小石子，是我的磐石。那是我想要听到的声音，也是我希望伯南汉会幕听到的声音。
If you would like to join us, you are more than welcome, my brothers and sisters. Join us Sunday at 12:00 p.m., Jeffersonville time, as we hear the Voice of God speak and answer many questions you may have on your heart. And hear for yourself if the things I have said in this letter is off the Word and I have misunderstood what God is saying to His Bride.
如果你愿意加入我们，我的弟兄姐妹们，我们非常欢迎。请在周日中午12:00（杰斐逊维尔时间）加入我们，届时我们将聆听神的声音说话，并回答你心中可能有的许多问题。请你亲自听一听，我在这封信中所说的话是否偏离了神的道，以及我是否误解了神对祂新妇所说的话。
What he says on the tapes is Thus Saith The Lord. Not what I say he is saying, or what I believe he is saying, and ONLY God can give you the true Revelation.
他在录音带上所说的是主如此说。不是我说他在说什么，或我相信他在说什么，唯有神能给你真实的启示。
