In September 2002, Pastor Shelley came to Jerusalem
at the direction of the Lord. He had only been here one time
before as an eleven-year-old boy. When the Lord told him to go, he
argued with the Lord, saying that he now had a family and it sounded like
it was dangerous in Israel. He pressed God for a reason.
The Lord told him that it had to do with the Seven
Thunders. That settled the matter for him and he
obediently came.
Since then, he has been seeking the Lord to try and get
a deeper understanding of the Seven Thunders, but it seems that this is
the Lord's appointed time to begin to reveal more about them.
John was not allowed to write what he heard them say because they are meant
for our day.
In October 2005, Pastor Shelley experienced a trance
vision, divinely promised seven years before, where he was brought before the
Throne of Y'shua in the Eternal City of God. To read the
details of that amazing experience,

In that trance vision, among other things, the Lord
told him that He wanted him to spend some time alone with Him before the
end of December (2005). Pastor Shelley did that, spending much
time studying the Word and the sermons of Brother William Branham at the
Lord's direction. The Lord even showed him which sermons to take with
him. He felt impressed to compile "What We DO Know About the
Seven Thunders" in a similar fashion to what he did the previous year
on "What We DO Know About the Seventh Seal."
During his Winter Campmeeting (January 2006) in Alabama,
Pastor Shelley shared 22 points regarding what we DO know about the Seven
Unknown Thunders. These wonderful revelations have laid a
foundation for the Lord to now build upon, and they are presented here
for the Bride to feast upon.
When Pastor Shelley returned from his time alone with the
Lord, he shared a few nuggets that provide even more revelation.
Major excerpts from his preaching that night, Nuggets About
the Seven Thunders, are posted on his website.
Perhaps you are wondering why the Lord would direct
Pastor Shelley to study Bro. Branham’s sermons, in addition to His Word,
for revelation on the Seven Thunders. More and more, the Bride
is recognizing that the Lord sent Bro. Branham as a key prophet and
forerunner for the days leading up to His Second Coming.
Bro. Branham was an extremely anointed man of God who
experienced much of what the Bride will walk in as she comes into her full
adoption as a manifested son of God. He was often
visited by the Angel of the Lord and given much revelation, some referring
to the Seven Thunders. In fact, he and the people
attending his meetings had a great anticipation that the Bride’s Revival
and the Rapture was very close at hand because of the abundance of his
spiritual experiences and revelations.
However, like Daniel and like John, Bro. Branham was
given revelation ahead of his time as a sign for a generation to
come. He was “sown into the ground” as a special seed over 40
years ago (December, 1965). It is now time for the harvest of that
seed – a many-membered Bride walking in the fullness of her inheritance!
Keep in mind that the Lord has made a connection
between the Seven Thunders and Israel. We anxiously wait to see
what the Lord will unfold and reveal in this new season!
