Godhead #6
The Great Revelation: One God
February 6, 2000
Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, we
are grateful to be gathered together knowing that Your Own Word said in the Old Testament that You dwell in
the praise of Israel and in this hour You’re now in the midst of Your Church as
a personal being, God, Elohim Himself. And knowing that, Father, that we know
that You are here, we realize that that is very gratifying to You, because
there are those by the billions who do not recognize You even as being, let
alone having come down according to Revelation 10, and being here to set Your
Church in order for the great presentation, the great Wedding Supper according
to 1 Corinthians 15.
So Father, we are praying this
morning that we are Your very Own, and we are those who are involved in the
great secrets that You have brought us, and we are those who are involved in
the end time as Your dear children set apart. And we thank You for that, and we
believe that, Lord, that we are a part of that Bride and part of the Rapture
going on now in the first stage and who knows how far into the second and then,
of course, radically rapid into the third. And so, we do thank You for it Lord,
and give You glory that You have turned our hearts toward You, and we know the
truth, and we know Him Who is the truth Who is the Word. Grant, Father, that we
may know even more this morning in all humility as dear loving children. In
Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen. You may be seated.
1. Now last night, we went into a basic
study which leads to today concerning the Logos or God Himself, and how, at the
end time, we see happening today what happened in the very beginning as we
found in Romans: there is a chart laid out for us—a course. And we found in
there, according to the Book of Romans, Chapter 1, how that homosexuality led
progressively to the complete breakdown of humanity into a state that is lower
than animalism. Because animals act instinctively, their circuitry is made that
they would act according to their nature and within their species—their
pattern. But the human being, being able to reason and now thoroughly imbued
with the wisdom which is from below, which is earthly and carnal, sensuous, and
entirely destructive; comes to the place where man is completely reprobate, and
he does those things which are vile. That is because he has taken God
completely out of his knowledge.
2. Now, of course that doesn’t mean that
he doesn’t acquiesce to the fact that there is a God, and yet, it also means
that he will not say that there is a God. Now the reason I say that is because
ninety percent of the Americans believe there is a God, and yet the ten percent
are controlling all education, which denies the very existence of God. So how
can you say there is a God and believe there is a God, when actually you are
taught, and actually pounded into the people, the kids growing up and even the
older people, that really we are the product of evolution; and we come to the
place where it is so utterly ridiculous and asinine that if this test were
given as a sanity test to somebody outside of religion, that person would be,
you know, deemed as a non-‘compos-mentis’, which means he doesn’t have a
mentality that can cope, because they’re saying there’s a design without a
designer. Well now that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. And
yet, that is the accepted approach to science, to life, and religion and
anything which has to do with a philosophy.
3. So the Bible says the end time, they
are filled with all unrighteousness. In other words there is no place where
unrighteousness does not obtain, and within the individuals, there is no limit
upon his unrighteousness. In other words, at this time he completely fulfills
every single thing that could be against God and His Word. So we’re coming to a
state of complete rebellion against God, the denial of God, and lives, which
are completely destitute of God, where there’s nobody left but a reprobate. And
so that means there’s no more seed. And that’s why you have the outstanding
scientific fact that is in the Bible, and the scientists going against the
Bible, and that is the DNA has proven one hundred percent that there is one
mother and two fathers, and one father has fathered greater than ninety-nine
percent, where the other father actually has only sired a minimal 0.01 percent
or less. And of course, the Bible has the answers to everything, because “the Bible is God in print,” as Bro.
Branham said. I think he’s not the first one to say that, but that’s very true.
4. So they are completely without any seed
of God. Now of course, nobody knows who the seed of God is, because the two
fathers brought in to this world two sons by the one mother, and now we have
this mixed lump to where, if the seed has run out physically—and you can’t
trace it physically, mind you, because it’s one lump, if you see the seed is
down to a narrow 0.00 something—then remember, without the spirit of God,
you’re reprobate. And the spirit of God really is your own soul, a part of God.
Then you have today nothing but a serpent seed group which are nothing but
natural brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed. Now that’s interesting,
and it’s the truth.
5. Now I’ve kind of came to myself the
other day thinking about the world and, you know that I’ve been very much of a
thin person all my life, and they’re usually very fidgety and nervous and
fighting for the underdog and everything else. You know, they’re out there
turning things upside down, making a mess of themselves and everybody else. And
I’m always haranguing myself and everybody about the absolute rottenness of the
financial system. And the whole system is built upon the intrinsicality of
man’s soul, which is the dollar bill; for the love of money is the root of all
evil. And that means the literal intrinsicality of a man’s soul is toward that
money. And you can see it as we talk about the economic system. Well, that’s
the same as saying every time a cat sees a mouse, if it’s a real cat; cchhh;
it’s after the mouse. So, why should I fret, and I have been fretting,
incessantly, stupidly, overwrought, with these money-suckers? They can’t help
it. When a cat sees a mouse, the mouse is gone. These people can’t help
themselves. Neither can these know what I’m talking about.
6. As I mentioned, the opening to the
whole thing is homosexuality. Now don’t you forget it, because I traced it and
showed you. The turning from God became evident in the human body when the
human body went homosexual. Why? I’m talking about the human bodies. Animals
don’t have souls per se. The hybrid race does have a soul, but it’s a hybrid
soul. I do believe in a perverted kind. That’s why God says all souls are mine;
the soul that sinneth it shall surely die. And there’s no soul that is born of
God can die. So the other souls do die.
7. Now God is just in that He showed
Himself to all people. Now [Rom 1:29], being filled with all
unrighteousness—notice, fornication. Now that’s out-of-wedlock sexual
cohabitation. Now if men have as many as twenty partners, who are the women?
Women are an easy mark evidently. They’re just ready throw themselves into bed
with any type of gunk and crud and mess. That’s why more women are getting AIDS
than men. So girls, smarten-up! You want a good dose of AIDS and die? I’m
giving you the recipe, telling you what the Bible says about you. Just sit
there and listen and take it. You’re going to stand right before me at the
White Throne, every one of you. Just like I’m going to be there. You’re at the
age of accountability, so just listen-up.
Now, if you’re that kind of a person
in here, you won’t be able to help yourself. You’ll do it anyway. As a child of
God, though, you’ll be tempted. But there’s no sin in temptation. It’s when you
fall into the temptation. And remember, the word isn’t ‘temptation’ so much as
‘testing’. Every child of God is tested. There’s something in you that’ll say
“no.” If you’re brought up right in the Word, you start fooling around, and…
listen, fooling around in this age, you had better be more than careful,
because, I’ll tell you: you fool around knowing what you know this morning, I
don’t believe God will heal you. I believe you’ll die. I can’t prove that, but
I’ll tell you one thing; I can tell you this is God’s truth: never presume upon
the grace of God and never put God to the test. Don’t put God to the test,
because you’ll find He’ll call your bluff.
I knew a guy years ago, his name was
Thirsk, and he’s a Pentecostal guy. He had all the Pentecostal experience and
everything that goes with it, but you couldn’t trust him as far as you could
throw a bull by the tail. And he’d been wonderfully delivered of smoking. So he
said, “Well, my God’s so big, He won’t let me smoke this cigarette.” So he
smoked the cigarette. He hasn’t quit smoking. Put God to the test. See? We’re
not in kindergarten anymore. We’re not natural brute beasts. We’re children of
God. We’ve made the decision based upon God’s decision where the sheep hear the
voice. A voice heard is a voice to be obeyed.
8. Now [Rom 1:29], wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness… You know malicious people? They can’t wait to find
something wrong with you; can’t wait to get back at you; can’t wait to do
something; full of malice. I would hate to be eaten up inside with malice.
It’ll tear the guts out of you. Malicious. Then It says “full of envy.” I’ve
heard people talk.
I remember one lady (I won’t mention
who she is.) years ago, she said, “No preacher should have a Cadillac.” Why?
Because they had a Cadillac. I think it was always a second-hand one, though.
She’d roll over in her grave to know that I’d bought a new one. I didn’t ask
for it. The people gave it to me. Where do people get that stuff from? Where
does it come from? Now, maybe I could pull a few names out this morning and
say, “Hey, I’ve heard you people say certain things.” I hear envy and malice in
that. Why do I want to be that way? Why? Let me tell you something: if you want
to be any kind of a way, you stand there by the grace of God knowing you’re
fallible, but God has kept you, and you want your brother and sister to be kept
too by the same grace and faith God’s honored you with and given you privilege.
No, there’s no… You see, these brute beasts, they can’t do that.
9. Now, It says here [Rom 1:29-30],
they’re “full of murder, debate, deceit, malignity, (That’s like cancer.)
whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventers
of evil things.” Now people wonder why we’ve got all these movies coming out of
Hollywood, and TV is rampant with pornography. And by the way, do you know that
this latest great union on the internet, the one that was bought out; or did
buy out, with Time-Warner, they got together. Do you know what that net [Bro.
Vayle referring to America On Line; AOL] is famous for? Pornography. Now you
say, “How do you know?” Because I read about it. That’s what it’s got. So
Time-Warner buys out pornography.
Now you know the other day that
Deutsch, the head of the CIA for a long time, downloaded secret material on his
computer, and his boy got on the pornography line with that computer. How many
now know our secrets outside of the bug, hidden? And mind you, hidden in the
conference room at the CIA in the woodwork is a bug the Russians had for five
years. I’ve got one question: Dave, maybe you know the answer: can a battery
transmit on a wireless for five years or is it hooked up somewhere? Has anybody
ever heard of a five-year battery? Have they got a five-year battery? Anybody
know of a five-year battery? [Bro. Evans comments “Photo cells might.” If that,
well… Oh, so it runs on the sun or something. Well if this is in a building in
the woodwork that would hardly qualify. I’m just letting you know what’s going
on. See? Pornography. Filth.
10. Now It says here [Rom 1:30], “backbiters,
haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventers of evil things, disobedient
to parents.” Yeah, disobedient to parents. The parents aren’t allowed to
correct their kids, or they’re brought into court. And now, if a psychiatrist
gets a hold of your kid, that psychiatrist can pump your kid’s heads so full of
nonsense, a little girl says, “Oh, my father abused me, sexually, when I was
four years old.” Then, maybe ten years later, after the father’s in jail, like
it happened not too long ago, and the girl said, “I remember, my father raped
that little girl and killed her.” The man was thrown in jail. Then one day, the
girl woke up and she said, “My God, my father never did that, I never saw
that.” Wonderful, wonderful, sweet little children with their sweet little
conscience. Nice little kids. Whew. I want this to sink in. Do you see why
God’s going to destroy it all? And why He has to? What a terrible mess.
11. [Rom 1:31] “Without understanding”—pound
them, and then you can’t pound anything into them at that. “Without natural
affection.” Well, if they’re haters, how can they have natural affection?
“Implacable, unmerciful, knowing the judgment of God.” Now listen; this starts
to manifest with homosexuality. And they’re determined to take over and are
taking over, and they’re curbing every liberty we have—every right we have. A
minority doing this to the majority.
They’re the ones, like at the time
of Sodom, when they wanted to sodomize the two male angels, and the angels
struck them blind. And in their blindness, they were groping for the door to
try to get to them. They had turned down natural physical contact. And God
destroyed them. So you’ve got the type. You’ve got everything in Scripture to
show this is where it starts—at this, our end time. It started when America
turned down God in 1956. Remember, and keep remembering when I’m talking along
this line, the great revelation of this hour is there is one God, and you must
be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And if you’d been baptized
incorrectly, THUS SAITH THE LORD, you must be rebaptized. That’s William Branham,
prophet of God vindicated. Vindicated. Vindicated. Vindication is “THUS SAITH
THE LORD.”
And remember, when the prophet was
vindicated, first of all, God vindicated Himself to the prophet, then God
vindicated the prophet to the people, and then, by His Own formula that man
wanted, according to Deuteronomy 18, God vindicated His Word to the people so
that Moses was God talking to them. And this is the way I want to hear God. And
the proud people, these boasters, these haters, these serpent seed, they don’t
want God to talk to them through a man, because they’re just like Cain. They
don’t want to hear the Word of God. And yet, if God wanted to talk through a
brass doorknob, that’s God whether you want to believe it or not. See why I
stand on with vindication; the way I stand with my convictions? I have a tie
post—an absolute from God.
12. Now, Dave handed me a piece from Canada.
Up here in Saskatchewan, that’s where Gregory was and the rest of them up
there. And that’s where they had that accountant tell Bro. McRae and me that
you could, in Canada, take money in for tithes and you could spend it on the
church building. As long as you spent it, it was okay. So I said, “Well, John,
we had a tempest in a teapot. I’m sorry I gave you the wrong advice.” We go to
the Post Office, and here’s a letter that says that the YWCA is being sued for
taking in money for one thing and using it for another. And I said, “Well,
John, fire your stupid accountant. I know more than he does.” When I know more
than the accountant, you better believe, and Todd [Roberts] will tell you,
you’re in trouble. [Bro. Vayle chuckles.] Very serious trouble.
13. So all right, it says that the decision
is months overdue in a complete fraud case against a Saskatchewan newspaper.
One of its advertisers by the provinces human rights commission in trouble for
printing an ad consisting of four Bible verses which the commission says
violates homosexual rights. Here they are, people speaking against God. Now
since there is no God, how can you speak against God? Since the Bible doesn’t
mean what It says, how can you fuss at any verses that are put out there? This
becomes a conundrum to me. I don’t understand it. In other words, if there’s no
God to talk to, how can I talk to God? If there’s no God to answer my prayers,
how in the world can my prayers be answered? If there’s no God to be
accountable to and no God that made me, why am I fussing?
“Oh you just ignore it and go on;”
and you formulate your own codes and your own creeds.
Well, evidently, they’re trying to
take the Bible, they’re trying to take everything about God and prove that
there’s no such thing as the Bible and no such thing as God, and we can really
do what we want. But they don’t say that. They say, “Oh, human dignity.” Well,
I want to know what’s dignified in homosexuality? I want to know. I want an
answer from those guys how it is that they cannot be straight when there’s no
reason not to be straight, because if you can do it one way, you can do it in
the other way. At the same time then, I ask those who enter into perversion,
perverting the right way, well how come you’re doing it? You’re just like a
dog—like the homosexuals.
14. Now I’m hitting hard this morning, but
it’s the truth. Because they’ve got no leg to stand on, nothing to stand with
them, and nothing to stand for them. Because this act started in the Garden
with the beast, comes right down to the end time where men and women right
today, are rotting on their feet, and their flesh decaying while they’re
living. And God’s going to wipe the whole thing out.
Anyway, this whole thing goes on
here where finally somebody’s standing up against these homosexuals. And
they’re going to have a court case now. And finally they’re saying, “Our
constitution allows us the right to express ourselves, because we’re not against
anybody, per se, we are really against what we believe to be contrary to the
Word of God, and we’re standing with it.” But you can see what’s happening.
Since they have turned down God absolutely, having known Him, which means God
must have vindicated Himself to them, and this began happening in 1946, though
in 1933, the angel of God, or God Himself, appeared to Bro. Branham on the
river down there in Jeffersonville, the Ohio River, in 1933. But in 1946 he was
commissioned to take a gift of healing to the world. In 1950 God showed him
through discernment, where he came forth with THUS SAITH THE LORD, proving one
hundred percent that William Branham was that prophet that should come upon the
scene in this hour and this day. Proving. God proving Himself to the people
absolutely. And it was turned down in ten years, 1956.
And at that particular time even
Bro. Branham himself was involved with homosexuals on the ground that Leo and
Gene, the tape boys, were homosexual. And when he wanted to fire them, God
said, “You can’t fire them; leave them alone.” And I saw the vision book where
it was written—“Leave them alone. They will go into false doctrine and destroy
themselves.” Now listen, homosexuality going to false doctrine destroying
themselves. Here’s the Bible, did I read it any different from the Bible? So
I’ve been telling you the truth.
15. Now, let’s understand it. This is our day
and our hour. Now [Mat 24:34] this generation shall not pass away till all
these things be fulfilled. And that word ‘generation’ has two meanings to it.
One of which is this kind of people. The other is a time limit. What is the
time limit of the generations? I don’t know. Because way back in Adam’s time,
when they lived almost a thousand years, a generation could’ve been four to
five hundred years. Because according to Scripture, they didn’t begin
copulating unto birth until a man was two to three hundred years old. Then in
Moses’ day, one generation was one hundred years. Then the Bible says seventy.
David qualified it by saying, “if a man lived by reason of strength past
seventy, he only has troubles and infirmities” and so on. So how long would
this generation be? I don’t know.
But since Bro. Branham gave us some
certain clues, which have to do with generation and the type of going into the
Promised Land, which was no one over twenty years of age except two people;
Caleb and Joshua. And don’t try to figure who they are, because that might not
be true at all in our day. There’s no Scripture for it. The only Scripture that
could be extant and hold good would be a certain group of people born free from
idolatry to freed people with the revealed Word wherein they would go into the
promised land and be recognized through the Word. And if you think we’re going
to be any different, I got news for you; there’s no way. No way, because what
do you think is going to be going on in the Millennium? You’re just going to
sit there, and it’s all over? Oh no! It’s further sanctification. It’s further
Word. It’s further truth. The further unveiling, which…is very, very beautiful.
16. So all right, in England, which Bro.
Branham said was the most illegitimate country in the world (And it is.) they
are now fining you for speaking out what you have every right to speak out, and
they’re denying it. It’s in Canada, and they’re trying to get it here in the
states. But it will be defeated, likely, in Congress. But I want to know what
Congress is doing, sitting on their duffs just arguing. And if you talk about
malignant people, backbiters, whisperers, if you didn’t see that when they
tried to get Clinton, and I knew they couldn’t get him.
How you going to get a guy that’s
just like you, but he’s smarter and better? He’s the best thing I’ve seen since
Trudeau in Canada. They’re not going to catch him. They can’t do a thing with
Clinton. They couldn’t do a thing with Trudeau. Both those are Oxford
graduates, well at least Clinton could’ve been. They couldn’t do a thing to
them and they filled their tenures.
Congress was no better than Clinton. In fact, the political system
put him there. So I say, what are those birds doing? They’ve got a bureaucracy,
like the FCC, that’s trying to shut down radio stations that are religious or
make them put fifty percent of their time on something else. You talk about a
mess. So that’s your situation today. A hodge podge—vague, indefinite and evil.
17. Now look, we’re going to go on with Jn
1:1, because I want you to know the hour in which we live, and make it
perfectly clear. I have read my Bible. I have looked the situation over
according to Bro. Branham, and I can see the deterioration of mankind starts
with homosexuality. And if anybody can’t see that, he’s blind.
Of course they’re trying to blame it
on little green monkeys. That’s the biggest bunch of junk I’ve heard in my
life. And now, of course, it’s all figured out that an insect bites the bird,
and the bird bites the pig, and we eat the pig or get near to the pig, and now
we’ve got it. Now I’m not saying chain reaction couldn’t start in a certain
way, but believe me, you are not going to sell me on anything about a green
monkey. Anymore than you’re going to try to sell me syphilis started down there
in Peru and Bolivia when men cohabitated with the llamas.
18. Listen, let’s get this understood: what
am I trying to tell you? The Bible is true. I don’t care what anybody else
says. I don’t care what any evidence is presented. The Bible is true. And I
believe you’re going to find out before it’s over, all the dinosaurs and all
the Mastodons and everything else died with the flood.
You say, “Well how did they get in
this particular shape with their skeletons and so on?”
Well what’s to stop it, big mouth?
What’s to stop it?
Well you say, “What about all this
carbon dating?”
Carbon dating has been up for
examination time after time after time. How’d you like to follow someone that
keeps revising his quotes and his study? And I’ll tell you one thing, you don’t
have to revise this. So stick with the Word of the living God.
19. The Word of the living God tells you that
positively when they knew God, when God came into full evidence, full
manifestation, proven absolutely, utterly, that there was a God by the a
priori, as we saw today, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THUS SAITH
THE LORD, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THUS
SAITH THE LORD; thousands of times and not one failure. And if that’s not
scientific, I don’t know what science is.
Well they say, “Well you see
Reverend Vayle, it’s different when you come to philosophy.”
Oh yeah, it’s different. It’s the
difference between you and me. I’m going to heaven, and you’re going elsewhere.
You’re from below, and I’m from above. I’ve got the mind of God. You’ve got the
mind of Satan. You’re insane, and I’m sane. You’re wicked, and I’m righteous.
Let’s go the full gamut. Science, so called. Fap, every since I was a kid,
they’ve been changing it. There’s some things, of course, they can’t change.
20. All right, my basic idea was this age is
one of perilous times, and we’ve showed you the peril, and how the peril
started here; and this was not the Garden of Eden. This comes from the Garden
of Eden leading up to destruction because of serpent seed. And the serpent seed
comes into full manifestation through homosexuality. And the whole world
becomes infected. I showed you last night. If one man in New York could infect
one hundred girls and one French-Canadian, two hundred men, and the Catholics
now admit that there’s four out of six priests, that’s sixty-six and two thirds
percent of the priests with AIDS. So they say it’s exponential. In other words
it’s so big they can’t stop it.
And they say, “We don’t know whether
they did it by homosexual acts or maybe some were missionaries and got needles
that were bad.”
I admit that maybe one out of a
million got a bad needle, yeah. Oh, they’re very nice.
They say, “We’re not condemning the
act. We’re not condemning them. We’re trying to help them, be sympathetic.”
I had a Catholic priest from
Cincinnati who had AIDS phone me, because he knew Dr. Kunen, and I and Dr.
Kunen were good friends and Doc’s [Dr. Kunen] a Catholic. And he knew that I
knew certain things about AIDS, how you could help, but not really correct
them, because they go back to the lifestyle. And so he phoned me, and I gave
him all the information. All he had to do was make a phone call and go down to
Florida and see Dr. Mayor. He never did. He died with his AIDS, which was very
nice of him; because had he got some cures, and could have done better had he
just gone ahead and gone more and more and more. See, you can cure almost
anything with ozone.
Now there’s not one of you sitting
here that didn’t go to a school laboratory. Well almost all of you, anyway. The
little kids, maybe they never saw the lab, but you’ve read about it. You learn
how to make oxygen; I saw it when I was a kid. The chemistry teacher made
oxygen, dropped in a metal wire, a little piano string wire, and went
‘zoom’—incandescent. It went to dust. Oxygen will kill any germ. Well then, if
you go and ozonate your blood, oxygen is O2, ozone is O3.
Well, if you ozonate your blood with O3, and take 550 cc and drip it
back in your body very, very slowly, it’ll go through your whole system and
kill every bug in your veins. It’ll knock every bug out.
But there’s another question comes
up: since the circulatory system, the blood, is run by a pump called the heart,
but, the system that cleans out the bad stuff is the lymphatic system and is
not run by a pump but is run by you jumping up and down and exercising—and
that’s where the bugs and things can go—who knows if the ozone went there and
knocked them out? I don’t know. I can’t tell you. I’ve even seen video cassettes of Dr. Mayor using or
someone with him using the ozone. It’s very fabulous. They’ve used ozone and
oxygen in Europe for many, many years. Over here you can’t get it.
I talked to my ophthalmologist one
day, and I mentioned macular degeneration. And I said, “Hyperbaric treatment
can cure it;” and he said, “Oh, they’d be standing in line.” I said, “Don’t kid
me.” I said, “They closed down Dr. Darber over here in Indiana. They closed
down Sessions down there in Texas, because he was using it and getting results
and along those very lines.”
He never said one more word. Now,
what happened last month? There now comes an article out for the
ophthalmologists to read, “Oxygen is wonderful for your eyeballs.” Well, Russ
[Evans], how come they haven’t heard about it? How come I’ve known for many
years? I’m going to tell you one thing, that when you walk into a doctor’s
office, and he’s younger than you, and doesn’t look as good as you do, walk
out. [Laughter.] Walk out.
21. Look, we’re in this pitiful age. And even
if there is a cure, and the great cure would be that the unregenerate beast
could be turned into seed of God, which they cannot be. There’s no way that you
can change species. As Bro. Branham said, “God
is known by His uniformity and by His never changing ways. It’s always in the
pattern.” Now look, at the time of this peril, which means they turn their
backs on God absolutely, yet all the time talking about God, having a form of
godliness, but not according to the power of God.
See, that’s why they can say, “Well,
ninety percent of us believe in God; but if our kids are taught evolution, it’s
okay.” And the Catholic Church got around that many, many, many years ago when
I was very, very young—sixty years ago, perhaps, to be exact. They had already
said, and the pope today confirmed, evolution has a part. Do you know what
their confirmation to evolution is? “Well, as long as you say ‘the original
seed came from God,’ then you can believe in evolution.” Yeah, well I’m telling
you the truth. Don’t look at me as though I’m not. I’m telling you the truth.
And you know how I know? Because the nice little Catholic teacher I taught with
told me that her priest gave her that understanding. That has been Catholic
dogma for a long, long time.
So when the Pope comes out and says
to the witchcraft doctor, “You and I are brothers. We worship the same God,” I
didn’t have one bit of trouble understanding that. And when he said, “There’s a
place in the doctrine of Christianity for evolution,” I don’t have any trouble
believing that, except it’s downward and not upward. See, the Catholic Church
believes they’re going to change the world until Jesus says, “Oh, I just got to
come down and take over.” Well, I got news for them: he’s going to take over
all right, but not that way.
22. Now in the midst of all this, which is
horrible, we have the Gospel that teaches us in Malachi… I’m going to have to
make this fast, because we’ve lost a lot of time. And It says here that
[Malachi 4:]
(1) Behold the day cometh, that shall burn as
an oven; and all the proud, yea, all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:
(That’s this group over here I’m talking about in Romans 1 and 2 Timothy 2 and
in various quotes out of James and so on.) And shall be as stubble: and the day
that cometh shall burn them up saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall leave them
neither root nor branch.
Now according to Bro. Branham, you
understand that the Pentecostal Church age, Laodicea, is chaff. So all right,
when it talks of stubble then, it talks of the whole seven ages brought in to
judgment of which the chaff is the end part. The world-organized churches are
all going to be burnt.
(2) But unto you that fear my name. (Aha!)
23. Now there we are starting with the
homosexuals turning into brute beasts the whole six billion people, less a few
of them, very few, all natural brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed.
Starting with them and conclusively, Bro. Branham said in 1956, “America turned from God.” Then, if they
turned from God, they turned to homosexuality. Why? Because the brute beast is
going to be in control, because the antichrist is a beast. Very smart. But
remember, the beast was the most subtle, smartest, outside of man. And he was
smarter than man, because he could trick man. And he tricked the male and the
female through their senses. In fact; he taught them sex. And you can’t go
anywhere today without that teaching.
That’s why the kids today are so
demoralized and so filthy and everybody’s so filthy, because that’s all they’ve
been taught. They have not been taught manners. They have not been taught
etiquette. They have not been taught ethics. They have not been taught
spiritual things. They’ve only been taught the things of the beast. And now,
they’re going to reap the wildfire. And they’re going to do it. Don’t think
they’re not. We’ve already had the prophet, and it’s at the time of the burning
that the prophet comes. So don’t try to deceive yourselves.
24. Now It says at this particular time,
(2) Unto you that fear my name shall the son
of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; (That’s the Rapture. Bro.
Branham said so. We believe that.)
So you say, “Well prove it.” He
already proved it. He’s vindicated. What kind of Christians am I talking to?
Well, I put that on the tape for a lot of people that get tapes. But it’s very
strange, if my talk is so funny that I get phone calls, and my friends get
phone calls, and say, “For the first time I understand the message.” I’ve had
them call and say, “Bro. Vayle, for the first time in twenty years, or in the
first time in thirty years, I understand the message having heard a couple of
your tapes.” There’s a few out there that understand a few things.
25. And the Scripture said,
(3) You shall tread down the wicked; and
they’ll be ashes under your feet… (Why? Because they’re already ashes. They’re
gone.) Under the souls of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord
of hosts. (When? Rise with healing in his wings in the midst of the greatest
perversity the world has ever seen.)
Now there is one thing I can’t
understand about the people that say they preach this message around the world.
One fellow said he preached to ten thousand people overseas, over there in the
Philippines or somewhere. He’s the guy that said, “Well,” he said, “Those
preachers that preach the Presence are ninety percent correct.” And he’s the
other ten percent correct? He’s a wife-beater; don’t give me that stuff. I
wouldn’t sit down and eat with him.
When Bro. Branham said, “I hear ten thousand believing this message.
Got too many; got to shake `em off.” It seems like the Branhamites are just
like everybody else now, “Millions now living will never perish.” So now you’ve
got 5,999,999,992 people in the ark and eight people outside. Wonderful.
Well, you can see why they dislike
me. It’s because I call their bluff. Bro. Branham said they wouldn’t want me.
He said, “You’ve got a little gift of
teaching, and nobody wants it.” And that’s true. I wonder how many of you
people want it. I’ve seen `em sit here fifteen years. I’ve seen `em get tapes
for twenty years. John was telling me the other day that Lloyd was sitting in
on the line, the internet. I told him it’s a wilderness; don’t bother doing it.
I think I’m telling this right, Lloyd [Lusk], if I’m not, you can correct it
when I’m dead; I’m just kidding. He’s sitting there, and he doesn’t join in,
but he listens to two people that have been getting tapes for years, and
they’re pooh-poohing the two Lords. They’re laughing about it. They don’t
understand Godhead. I’ll talk about the two Lords and show you. Whether I do it
this Sunday or come back next Sunday or whatever. I don’t know. I’m not going
to get finished in a hurry, because we’re not getting there too fast.
26. But at this time here, It says,
(4) Remember ye the Law of Moses my servant,
which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with statutes and
judgments.
Now remember, Horeb is where they
got the message the second time, for Deuteronomy means ‘twice told.’ The
‘D-u-e’ part is duo for ‘two’ evidently, twice-written, twice-given. And the
second time given was grace. And remember, our Joshua, typed from the former
Joshua, that Joshua, was given a special time of grace to take the people in,
and we now have the same special time, and Ephesus is repeating. We’ll show you
that; getting right back. I’m just quoting Bro. Branham; so don’t worry. Of
course, I’ll be told by people, “Lee Vayle doesn’t quote Bro. Branham.” Every
time I said, “Now there’s two of them.”
They said, “See, preaching two
gods.”
Well how do you deal with people
like that? You don’t. You don’t. If a little kid doesn’t know his alphabet, he
won’t do algebra, as Bro. Branham said.
27. Now,
(5) Behold, I will send you Elijah the
prophet before the coming and great and dreadful day of the Lord; (What great
and dreadful day? When he comes, and we come with him and tramp everything
down.)
(6) And he shall turn the heart of the
fathers to the children, the heart of the children to the fathers, (The first
part was done under John the Baptist. This is left to this Elijah.) lest I come
and smite the earth with a curse.
Now He’s telling you flat right
there: He is going to come. It’s going to be done, but there’s an interim.
There’s an interim. And in the interim the Elijah prophet comes and turns the
hearts of the children back to the fathers, which, Peter says, after Pentecost
or at Pentecost, is the restoration of the Word. Absolutely. The restoration.
The prophet is going to do it. And He said, in that interim, except for that
prophet, I would fulfill what I said. I am coming, and don’t you forget it. But
before I come and destroy, Elijah will come and save the people in a rapture.
Well, you say, “How do you know?”
Because Bro. Branham said so.
“Well how did he know?”
Because God told him.
“How do you know?” Because he’s
vindicated.
“Oh, you and your vindication.”
Yes, me and my vindication,
hallelujah. What do you have? Your vindication? I wouldn’t trust your
understanding. Where is vindication?
28. Okay, now this brings about 1
Corinthians, and we’ve gone through this so many times it’s really pitiful, but
we do it anyway. 1 Cor 13:8:
(8) Love never fails: but whether there be
prophecies they shall fail; whether there be tongues they shall cease; whether
there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
(9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in
part.
(10) But when that which is perfect is come,
(Then when everything is completely completed, there’s no more parts left,
Seven Church Ages with seven messages, all gone; seven messengers all finished;
then it’s going to be done away.) that which is in part is done away.
Why? Because there’s no more to
come. And if there’s no more to come, how are you going to repent? This is
Hebrews 6. This is the turning of the children’s hearts to the fathers. Getting
back to the apostolic age where Christ was with his disciples. God appearing in
human flesh amongst His Own people via the prophet.
29. Now,
(11) When I was a child, I understood as a
child, thought as a child: when I became a man I put away childish things.
(12) For now we see through a glass, darkly; but
then face to face: now we know in part; but even then shall I know even—but
then shall I know even as also I am known.
Now he tells you right there there’s
coming a time of face-to-face. Now, let’s understand facts. God Himself said,
“No man can see my face and live.” Jesus mentioned it; no man can see God and
live. Moses was allowed to see the back part, and Bro. Branham said it was a
bleeding back which foretold, and Bro. Branham showing, that one day God would
manifest Himself in human flesh and our sins laid upon that righteous one that
God had chosen as a sacrifice, and that back would bear it all. And healing and
everything would go forth in the atonement.
30. (13)
Now abideth faith, hope, and love,
these three; but the greatest of these is love.
So we’re coming to the time when
there won’t be any knowledge anymore, because no more will be needed. The
prophecy, which is the Word of God, because the Bible is a book of prophecy, is
in seven complete parts for seven ages. Seven messages; and seven is
perfection, and the word ‘perfection’ means ‘conclusion’—there isn’t any more.
So therefore, if you take away a word, it’s not perfect. If you add a word, it
is not perfect. So therefore, there is coming a time in the face-to-face which
has to be, remember, you’re looking at God now, and he calls it a face-to-face
proposition. And the face-to-face proposition can only be when God manifests
Himself where He becomes entirely visible to you, to God’s Own satisfaction and
to your satisfaction. Now remember, if it’s not to your satisfaction, but to
God’s satisfaction, you’re the one that’s wrong, because that’s how God does
things. Don’t forget Deuteronomy 18.
31. Now this is what exactly happened during
Bro. Branham’s tenure here upon earth. God was satisfied, but the people
weren’t satisfied. See, I’m a very satisfied person. I don’t question what Bro.
Branham said. Jn 1:1 is being questioned and questioned and questioned. You can
sit here for twenty years under my ministry and leave here questioning Jn 1:1,
actually quoting it as the prophet said it, and then turn it right back on
Jesus, when Jesus is not that one—no way—any more than you are Jesus. You say,
“That’s pretty strong.” No it isn’t. It’s nothing but the un-condemned truth. Jn
1:1 does not belong to Jesus. He has a part in it, but he is not the subject.
32. So all right. At the same time, when it’s
all over, we’re going to find out how it comes all over, linking up Acts
3:10-24. Peter now, full of the Holy Ghost, bringing forth the Word of the
hour:
(19) Repent you therefore, and be converted,
(full of the Holy Ghost) that your sins may be blotted out, (and notice) when
the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
And Bro. Branham categorically said
that was the great healing revival. And the great healing revival started in
1946 when he took a gift of healing to the world. He never took it to the
bride. He took it to the world in order for the whole world to be condemned.
And all religions were condemned in India when all religions, Christians and
Buddhists and all the rest were there, and the man whose eyes had rotted in the
sockets by looking at the sun, and Bro. Branham said, “Tell me, you now pray in the name of your god and give this man his
sight,” and nobody talked. He said, “Oh
you’re awful quiet.” He said, “a
little while ago you were arguing very loud, now,” he said, “do it.” Now he said, “What if I come now in the Name of Jesus
Christ and give this man his sight. Who, or what will be the true God?” The
man got his sight, and being the heathen they were, but knowing more than the
Christians will ever know, they believed that God was in William Branham and
ran to touch him, and they’d have torn him to pieces and stripped him naked to
get a part of his clothes and touch him, because God was in the man.
33. Now, how about that? Now, as we consider
this we see the Catholics are ahead of the Protestants, for when the sign came,
the supposed sign, a Fatima over there in Portugal, one of the places, when the
priest wrote the book, he said, “What does this mean, this great sign? It means
shut up and sit down; God’s got a message for you.” What about the
Pentecostals? “Hallelujah. That’s the way it’s done in the Bible. We can do it
too.” You’re getting an education this morning. I hope you’re getting it.
Why is Lee Vayle sold on
vindication? Why does Lee Vayle go to the Bible point by point? Because this is
the Word of God. This is God in print. And when God manifested Himself, the
living God, He didn’t manifest Himself any which way but this way and exactly
according to it. Oh yes, I’ve got faith in it and nothing else. I’ve got no
faith in myself; no way. And I’ve got faith in the faith of the Lord Jesus
Christ— the covenant God made with the Son—and I’m a part of it. Now I hope you
heard what I just said.
34. (20)
And he (at this time, God) shall send
Jesus Christ, which was before appointed unto you and preached, but appointed.
(Who… Now, what about this Jesus that was appointed and preached?)
(21) The heavens must retain him until the
restoration of all things, (and that in there is actually Word) until the whole
Word of God which had been spoken by the mouth of all the prophets since the
world began. (Now that wasn’t back when Jesus was in Jerusalem. No, this was
him coming back. This is when Peter knew that Jesus went away and would come
back and bring about a resurrection.)
(22) For Moses truly said unto the fathers, a
prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;
him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
Now notice, “For Moses truly said
unto the fathers.” “Moses truly said unto the fathers, a prophet the Lord your
God shall raise up unto you.” That’s done and gone. And in Jesus’ day, the
fathers were turned to the children. But in our day, the children are turned
back to the fathers. So now, you and I are going to have a prophet. Like what
Moses said, it won’t be Jesus. That’s over. But we’re going to get a prophet.
(23) And it shall come to pass, that every soul,
which shall not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
That’s like in the days of Noah:
eight people made the ark. So there was a Mt. Sinai show-down in the world with
Bro. Branham. [End of the first side of the audio tape.]
Well, you should say Mt. Carmel,
because God manifested Himself. The next, now, of course, is Mt. Zion for the
Rapture, and we’ll talk about that in Hebrews 12, which we’ve done previously.
35. Now remember, in the time of Jesus, they
weren’t destroyed. This time they’re all going to be destroyed. Since Jesus’
time there’s been about four billion people if not five billion people come on
the scene. Yeah, I believe about five billion since the time of Jesus. Not
positive, but I kind of think that’s right, because I remember figures of two
billion; I think it was, or three billion not so terrible long ago. There’s
going to be seven billion in about twenty more years. India and China alone
have a couple of billion; going to have about three billion right there.
36. All right, destroyed from among the
people.
(24) Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and
those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of
these days.
Now I don’t know of Samuel ever
having said one thing about it. But you notice, Bro. Branham constantly
compared himself to Samuel. So this prophet is not going to be one who brings
the Word, and neither did Jesus. He manifested perfectly what was to come,
fulfilling the Word, proving the Word, and then he anointed Paul who brought
the doctrine to the Gentile Church.
37. Now he said:
(25) You are the children of the prophets, and
of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, and in
thy seed shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed.
Now, if in thy seed shall all
kindreds of the earth be blessed, he’s not talking to the Jews. He’s telling
you about the Gentiles who are coming in. And remember, God turned to the
Gentiles in AD 53 having laid the platform of Jew and Gentile upon which the
Church was built. And the chief cornerstone of the Church was God Himself
coming down and starting the Church through the Apostle Paul. So therefore, God
will come down and finish the Church through a prophet. This is, as Bro. Branham
said, “Just think how wonderful the same
Pillar of Fire that brought Word to Paul is here revealing the Word.”
And that’s what he’s saying. Turning
the hearts of the children to the prophets, the fathers. And he said, you are
the children of the prophets. So therefore, if our hearts are turned to our
fathers, then this prophets means we’re being turned to the entire Word of God,
and what God said here that must be fulfilled, which is completion. Because
after completion, Hebrews 6, there’s nothing but fiery indignation. So we’re at
the end time, the perilous time, the time of peril, the time the devil can
trick the people.
Now remember, absolutely, that Bro.
Branham said, “Satan never came to Eve
and said ‘there’s no God, he just changed the Word, taking her away from God.”
We’ll look into that too as we always do.
38. Now, at this end time, the people are
saying, “Sure there’s a God, but who knows Him, what about Him, who cares, I
make up my own laws, I live my own way.” So, whose hearts are being turned to
the truth? Nobody but eight or ten people, seven thousand maximum perhaps—could
be seven hundred, could be five hundred, it could be just eight, which we have
no record, because that eight is merely a percentage showing you how few are
going to make it, because we’re not dealing with Noah, although that’s Gentile
era. We’re dealing with the end time: Christ trying to get back in the
Church—true and false. Now how…? What about it? Christ trying to get back in.
The false won’t let Him in.
Now, when Christ tries to get back
in, you can put any connotation you want to it, but you’d better be careful to
check your Scripture running in continuity, because It says over here Christ
wants to take his true Church out of here, and he’s got to get back into it to
get it out of here. And how’s it going to be done? He’s going to send a
prophet. And that way you can have the healing in the wings, you can have the
great Resurrection, you can have the Rapture, and the whole thing then can take
place.
39. Now, how are you going to make this line
with the rest of the Scripture? Because It says, “He shall send Jesus the
Christ, which was appointed unto you, whom the heavens now must retain until
the restitution of the whole Word of God.” Because that, in the Bible, is the
Word. Until the Word is restored, that spoken by the mouth of all His holy
prophets, and notice He called them ‘holy’ so David was holy according to God,
a man after God’s own heart. (See, look it’s the flesh that sins; it’s not the
soul. You’re not in the spirit. You sin in the spirit you’re gone. You’re just
Cain right off the bat.) Since the world began, since the very first one, and
remember, in the beginning Bro. Branham said, “God’s His Own prophet.”
40. So every single Word of God that we know
written here comes to our attention, everything the prophet gave us is
absolutely God Himself doing it. And you’re going to hear him in all things. In
other words the whole restoration of the Word as Bro. Branham said, this
prophet of the former rain, plants the seed of the entire Bible from the
serpent in the garden, to the prophet of the teaching or former rain. He said,
the latter rain prophet, Elijah, will plant the seed of the entire Bible, from
the serpent in the garden to the prophet right down here.
And why does he say just to this end
time prophet? Because at the end time prophet, there’s no more to come. Every
mystery is unveiled. The Seven Seals, the seven thunders; it’s all here. You
say, “What are those Seven Seals? What’s it all about? What’s the seven
thunders?” I don’t have an understanding to give you all of it, but I’ll tell
you one thing, the Seventh Seal is not something that you can say,
“1-2-3-4-5-6-7.” It’s completely revelatory, at this time, when God Himself
comes down and deals with the prophet giving us full knowledge where the Word
now goes out, and then it’s all over. It’s all over.
41. Now, this entails Jesus. So what are we
going to find here? Bro. Branham said, “Since
what Jesus did for the Jews he was obligated to do for the Gentiles.” And
he referred to Isaiah… to the Book of Matthew, the fourth chapter, and, it’s
true, that’s the fourth chapter but the twelfth chapter is a hundred times
better, because you can’t really get a thing out of the fourth chapter except
you understand that the Gentiles have a part in the ministry of Jesus, which,
absolutely looks like a lie or a complete fizzle. Because there’s no place
where Jesus went to the Gentiles. There’s no place. But the point is this:
which Jesus? Remember, “I came in my father’s name, and you received me not.”
When Bro. Branham said, “Jesus went back
to being a Pillar of Fire,” do you think the lamb went back to being a
Pillar of Fire? If he did then where is his ministry? We don’t have an
advocate. You’ve got to keep you Bible straight here.
42. So, okay. It tells you here in Mat 12:13:
(13) Then he said to the man, Stretch forth
thine hand. He stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like the other.
(14) Then the Pharisees went out, and held a
council against him, they might destroy him.
See, his healing ministry was
absolutely evidence that God was there in the prophet proving it was God,
because they could not deny that man could not do what this man did even though
he did it; it had to be God, because a man still couldn’t do it, even though he
did it. And so they understood, though the man was there, and if the man hadn’t
been there, it wouldn’t have been done. But just the same, it wasn’t the man,
because man can’t do it. So it had to be God. Do you follow me?
Now that’s not stupid talk.
Nicodemus had the same idea that I had. He said, “No man can do this, except
God be with him.” He said, “I see the man doing it, but he’s not doing it. And
it isn’t an optical illusion. This is not magic. This is not weird stuff. These
people are being healed. But this man can’t do it, even though he’s there.” But
Nicodemus forgot to say, if the man hadn’t been there, God couldn’t have done
it. It wouldn’t be done. Why? Because he had a message to bring, and the
message comes by the prophet.
43. But, they couldn’t take it. Now Bro.
Branham, knowing this, that they set about to kill him, knew that they couldn’t
set about to kill him, not in a civilized land called America.
So he said, “There’s more than one way to kill a man: to destroy his reputation, his
integrity.”
So they set about to make Bro.
Branham a nincompoop, a false prophet, “a man that God mightily used, and he
got so swell-headed that he couldn’t do the job God wanted. So now, ‘We’ll take
over.’” You know, what were they thinking?
What were they thinking? They couldn’t do it, so they’re going to make
sure to stop him so he can’t do it. What made them think that they could take
over?
People said, “Bro. Vayle, why don’t
you take over Bro. Branham’s ministry?”
I said, “You must be insane.” I
don’t have a ministry to take. I’ve got my own ministry. And I’m very satisfied
with it. And I’m very happy I didn’t have Bro. Branham’s. I’m sure he had his,
and I’m sure glad I had a part in it. And I became a recipient of it.
44. (15)
That when Jesus knew it, he withdrew
himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all.
He made it even tougher on this
bunch of murderers. Now, if they’re murderers back there, will they not be
murderers today? If we can prove that the same ministry that God gave Jesus to
Israel had to come to the Gentiles, or Isaiah has become a liar. Then God did
not speak through Isaiah.
You say, “Well, he spoke through
part of Isaiah.”
Then you’re just like the rest of
the modernists, “Some of the Bible’s true, but the rest isn’t.”
Well you tell me which is true, and
which isn’t. What you going to do, wave a little magic wand and put your finger
in the air to see where the wind’s blowing? Oh, come on, come on, come on;
let’s smarten up. Is there a God? Is He really God? Is He really in this book?
Did He really come forth? Does He really mean what He said? Is it true the Lord
said to my Lord—so there’s two of them—but one happens to be Jehovah, and the
other lord is just a nice title? Like Abraham was Lord to Sarah. Huh? Oh, so
many smart Bible students out there that think we know so much. They know just
enough to condemn themselves, and that only takes one word off or one word on
added.
(16) Then he charged them that they should not
make him known:
(17) That it might be fulfilled was spoken in
Isaiah the prophet, saying,
(18) Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my
beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I’ll put my spirit upon him, and he
shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
There weren’t any Gentiles there. So
Isaiah boo-booed; and Luke had boo-booed. The Bible’s a scrapbook for the
incompetent.
45. Now just a minute, when it comes to the
Gentiles,
(19) He shall not strive...
Well, did Jesus strive or did he not
strive when he booted them out of the temple? Well, if you don’t call that
striving, I don’t know the name... I’ve lost my language. When you ‘strive’, it
means you are ‘exerting effort’; you are ‘trying’; you’re ‘pushing’; you’re
‘pulling’. He certainly did strive.
(19) ...nor cry; (He certainly did cry. He
raised his voice and said, “Ho, everyone that thirsteth.” Yeah.) neither shall
any man hear his voice in the street. (Well, he was in the street, and he
looked up in the tree and he saw little old Zacheus, “Come on down here, boy. I
want to talk to you.”)
(20) A bruised reed shall he not break, (Oh my,
you think he didn’t break the bruised reed that Israel was leaning upon: the
law, you got another thought coming.) the smoking flax shall he not quench,
(How come they still don’t have temple worship and the blood and everything
else?) till he send forth judgment unto victory.
He isn’t talking about the Jews.
He’s talking about God manifesting Himself to the Gentiles as he did through
Jesus Christ, and this time, would not be defeat, but victory. The judgment
would bring victory. Not condemnation, but victory.
(21) And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
46. Okay, tell me the name of God. We’re
right back to the great mystery of the end time: who is God; what is His name;
where is He; what is He doing? Tell me about Him. But Bro. Branham said, “The seals was Christ.” Just a minute;
what Christ? See? What one?
Old Daddy Bosworth pulled my
coattails back in 1953, when Bro. Branham came to West Palm Beach, and he said,
“Bro. Vayle, I’ve been praying for the ministry of Christ to return to this
earth for forty years. There it is in that man.”
How did Daddy Bosworth know how to
pray? From here. [Bro. Vayle points inward. I doubt if Daddy Bosworth knew
himself what Scripture he was praying from. But God anointed him to pray for
forty years that the ministry return to this earth.
47. And what was the ministry of Jesus? God
in a man; that William Branham had a ministry: God in the man. And the ministry
was a message; and the message was the presence of God. “My ministry, God in me, is here to declare Him,” they tell me
that’s the actual quote, the quote was given to me by a book years ago was, “To declare that He is here,” they tell
me on that tape in 1962 he said, “to
declare Him, that He is here.” It’s possible that that is right. It
actually would be more correct than the other, because “to declare Him” is the
actual ministry of Jesus, which means to bring Him forth by words. And so,
therefore, when this great ministry of Christ returned to earth, and was in
William Branham the prophet of Malachi 4, he had to ‘declare’, which was to
‘lead God forth by Word’. Does that give you an understanding why God is the
Word? It would certainly help in my estimation.
48. All right, this is already happened. This
brings us over here to Rev 22:17-21.
(17) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And
let him that heareth say, Come. Let him that is athirst come. And whosoever
will, let him take of the water of life freely.
(18) For I testify to every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God
shall add unto him the plagues that are written in the book:
(19) And if any man shall take away the words of
the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of
life, and out of the holy city, and the things that are written in this book.
So therefore, now, you have come to
where exactly Moses was. When the Word of God was completely finished, before
they went into the Promised Land, he said, “Don’t you dare add, and don’t you
dare take.” And this is just before the Holy City, which, of course, is also
preceded by the Millennium.
49. So, if you’re going to get to the Holy
City, you’re going to have to go through the Millennium, which means the First
Resurrection and immortality to the Bride standing here, and they can’t have it
without the perfect Word! Now what are you going to do? Going to scoff? Have
your own idea? Or take a vindicated Message?
You don’t make it to the Millennium
without the Word. You don’t get to New Jerusalem without the Word. Why? Ask
God. Don’t ask me. You didn’t think I’d say that, did you? Now you think Lee
Vayle has all the answers. No I don’t. I’ll just tell you one thing: because
God said so, and God wanted it so, and God made it so. And those that came out
and fooled around got into adultery, everything else, and paganism, leaving
pastor Pharaoh and all the Egyptian muck and junk, and then went down amongst the
daughters of the children of Lot, that bunch, got into all kinds of physical
sexual scrapes and everything else. They died. And just the young people went
in, twenty years and younger, except for two older folk, Joshua and Caleb. But
remember, our Joshua’s the Holy Ghost, so that puts out anybody that’s old,
like me. We’ll die off, which is fine. Then you get the best of two worlds that
way, at least for a little while.
They went in with the Word. And the
acceptation in that beautiful land was Word. Why? Because they were ejected,
having kicked out the Word in Eden. Got my answer didn’t I. So if you want to
get back to Eden, you’ve got to get all the Word—especially the Word for the
hour. And you’ve got to have the God of the Word. Now let me tell you
something: He’s a God of His Word. See? All right.
50. Now, and at this time, we have the
fulfillment of Ephesians 4. Let’s take a look at this: Eph 4:11-16.
(11) And he gave some, apostles; some, prophets;
and some, evangelists; some, pastors and teachers;
(12) For the perfecting of the saints, for the
work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
(13) Till we all come in the unity of faith, and
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, (That’s a complete, mature
man.) unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ;
(14) That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, (So the
doctrine’s going to be corrected.) by the slight of men, cunning craftiness,
(no more false teachers) whereby they lie in wait to deceive; (deceive the
deceiving)
(15) But speaking (or holding) the truth in
love, may grow up unto him in all things, (that’s why Bro. Branham said, “How you ought to love each other, you that
love this Word.” I don’t see too much of it myself. That bothers me to be
honest with you. It bothers me.) grow up unto all things, (that’s the whole
Word) which is the head, even Christ.
But remember, Christ isn’t the Word
in Jn 1:1. He’s only the Word that God gave through the prophets, and he became
that whole Word that God had given. But don’t you get mixed up in your
thinking, because there’s a lot of strange things said in the Bible, if you
don’t keep your doctrine right.
51. (16)
And from the whole body fitly joined
together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the
effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto
the edifying of itself in love.
Now It tells you right there that at
the time of this five-fold ministry, that ministry is effective to bring them
up to where the headship of Christ can come into fullness, and they’re no
longer worried about doctrine. They’ve got it right. So therefore, when anybody
comes along, as Bro. Branham said, “The
womb of the mind is shut up and therefore cannot be impregnated, because it’s
already impregnated by the true spirit Word of God.” Now come on, read it.
“Oh, well, we just ignore that
part.”
It says, that “henceforth be no more
children tossed...” Oh, we were never tossed to and fro? Don’t give me that
junk. “...or carried about with every wind of doctrine.”
“Bless God I spoke in tongues. I’ve
been Pentecostal all my life. How… I’m a Baptist so I can’t get lost. Oh, I’m a
Methodist, glory to God, never took a drink in my life.”
Quiet. You nauseate me. That hasn’t
got a thing to do with it.
In other words the condition of the
church, the condition of the world, the Sodomites, is exactly what I read.
The children of God, not wanting to
be, but yet being tossed to and fro, with all the false doctrine coming in, all
the detritus and debris, changing the Word. All cleared out by one glorious
shot of ozone from above. The heavenly breathe of God breathing once more
through a prophet and into a five-fold ministry, leading them right into a
rapture.
And yet, you’ll hear people say,
“There’s no such thing as a five-fold ministry.”
Of course not. To them there’s no
five-fold ministry. Leave them be..
And then you can hear somebody say,
“Well, they’re the gift to the church,” and, “You’ve got to hear the pastor.”
Not when he’s off the Word. Oh no!
They’ll twist you.
52. I got a phone call the other day. A
preacher has a son who’s now a preacher (that’s the worst thing in the world.
My boys never were. Maybe I wished they had been to what they went in to. But
you don’t become a preacher because your dad is, your mother, or somebody else
is. You better not want to preach. Because if you’re called, you won’t want it.
It’s the elders, the deacons, that want it. I’m not nailing anybody. I’m just
telling you flat. Hey, look. I know the Word of God. Don’t tell me I don’t,
because I do, and I’m quoting the prophet. And he was what? Tell me.
[Congregation responds, “Vindicated.” Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ll
give you a few more thank-yous for each one present. ...That he was vindicated,
see?
Now look here . There is a five-fold
ministry. You can say what you want, I know I’m one of them, and there’s no
doubt about it.
53. Now the five-fold ministry wouldn’t have
a clue without Ephesians 1, which is the end time when Paul says: the earnest
of the inheritance, the baptism with the Holy Ghost, runs out at the day of
redemption. So, when God is going to redeem the people out of the ground, the
baptism with the Holy Ghost runs out, because there’s nobody else going into
the ground. The few standing here will be changed. [Eph 1:15]
(15) Wherefore I also, heard of your faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ, and love unto all saints.
So therefore, my dearly beloved, already
the Word has to be there. And this is telling you how the Word got there,
because you will love those who love the Word as you love the Word. Now I say,
I’m worried about that, as I say:
(16) That I cease not to give thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers;
(17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
knowledge of him.
Now, if He’s going to give you the
spirit of wisdom, even revelation of the knowledge of Him, it’s going to have
to be His Own Spirit, because nobody knows God but God. That tells you plainly;
man by wisdom knew not God, period! I don’t care if Adam and Eve came fresh
from the hand of God; they did not know God, except by God revealing Himself to
them. And it would take God to do it. And I’m going to tell you, they didn’t
believe very much in God’s revelation, if the devil could come by and say,
“Hey, hey, hey, hey; hold it. That’s not the way it is. I’ll tell you what you
need to know.”
And I’m going to tell you, if you’ve
got guys like Shelley coming by you bunch of Branhamites out there, you ain’t
got nothing either in my books. I felt a little check about saying that, but
I’ll say it anyway, because I’m hard-headed. I don’t want to sit down and eat
with you. That’s not being too hard. You know why? This is life or death, and
it’s too late, because the signs are in. If you think they’re not, you’re
wrong. The bubble could break any minute, and it will.
Remember, science has finally figured
out the little flutter of butterfly wings in the Philippines could bring a
hurricane over here in America, or a tornado. One Word on—off: scientific.
54. All right, he says here [Eph 1:18a], “The
eyes of your understanding being enlightened...”
So the face-to-face, the appearing,
God coming down, has to do with your brain. And if your brain’s not baptized
with the Holy Ghost, you’re not going to get it. God can’t reveal it to you. So
something’s going to be seen, something’s going to be done, that has to be told
to you, and you’ll say, “That’s exactly right, that’s God, and that’s what
God’s saying.” And you can’t do it by yourself. God’s got to do it for you.
It’s given to you from above.
Now how does God do it? Always by a
prophet, and every prophet that comes is, what? Rejected or killed. Tell me how
could it be otherwise when Eve rejected God, Cain rejected God, and it’s in the
Scripture to reject God? How are you going to change it? Well, the cat sees the
mouse, and the cat says, “What in the world is that? I don’t… Well, should I
chase… Oh no, I wouldn’t chase that.” Serpent seed. Serpent seed. See the
picture? Read about God and Cain, and see for yourselves.
55. Now, [Eph 1:18b] “and you may know what
is the hope of his calling and of his inheritance in the saints.”
You may know your situation,
position, before God, and how you actually stand up in it. And Bro. Branham
quoted Iraneaus, “God being a Savior, it was necessary to predestinate a sinner
who’d require salvation in order to give Himself a reason and purpose of
being.” And the Bible speaks of the purpose of God right here in Ephesians 1.
The purpose of God, which is the reason for God’s Own Being, according to His
Own Godhood, which God Himself couldn’t change if He wanted to, because then He
wouldn’t be God. God is bounded, the same as you and I are bounded; and don’t
think He’s not. He’s Elohim—the Strong One Bound by an Oath.
56. Anyone that gives God the idea of being
the ogre and Puss-in-Boots coming along and doing something to the ogre, you’ve
got it all mixed up brother/sister. You’ve got it all wrong. You’re dealing
with fables. You’re dealing with garbled talk of God-knows-what. God is
sovereign. He doesn’t change. He’s bound by His Own Godhoodedness. God cannot
change. He can’t be other than what He always was and always will be. He can’t
act any other way. His purpose has always been defined within Him. He is His
Own purpose. See? Sovereignty. So all right.
(19) And what is the exceeding (Now watch.) and
what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, (After
this mighty revelation, carried on by the five-fold ministry, you are now
coming to this place.) what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward
who believe, according to the mighty work in his power,
(20) Which he wrought in Christ, when He raised
him from the dead… (Which is resurrection.)
Right after this great Spirit of God
comes in, and it has to come by a prophet, because Peter said so… It’s all
through the Scripture. Deuteronomy says so. Jesus said so. You can’t change it.
It comes by a prophet, and the prophet is Elijah; God manifesting in and
through him and bringing us a completed and perfect Word of God. It will take
us right into the Resurrection.
So the Word of God alone can take
you into the Resurrection. You can say what you want.
You say, “Well, God raised the
dead.” On what grounds does He raise the dead? On the grounds of the Word. See?
“Well then, without the Word, you
don’t get raised.”
That’s exactly right. So God and His
Word is one and the same thing. He is the Word. We’ll catch more of that.
57. (20)
Which he wrought in Christ, raised
from the dead, and set him above his own right hand in heavenly places,
(21) Far above all principality, and power, and
might, and dominion.
In other words there isn’t anything
going to touch us anymore that used to touch us, because He is all power and
dominion, which is exclusive to Him.
When we’re in His hands. It’s all over. Nobody, but nobody, can touch us but
God. The old song, “Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on his gentle breast.” And
they’re the words by which the world is excluded; everything is gone.
(21) … above all power, and dominion, every name
that is named, (Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal,) not only in this world, but
also that which is to come:
Why did they throw that in there,
“that which is to come?” …Showing stability. The unchanging God. It’s over. God
is All and in all. Proving this after the White Throne, when the Lamb sits on
the Throne of the New Jerusalem and the Pillar of Fire above him. And this is
what you’re looking at.
58. And It says,
(22) That hath put all things under his feet,
You know what that is? That’s the
‘klousma’. That’s the shout. That’s 1 Corinthians 15, God making the Church
subject to Jesus Christ, its head, where it hasn’t been before, because it
wasn’t fit for it. It wasn’t complete. It wasn’t over. [Bro. Vayle questions
Bro. Steve Applegate about the time.
(22) And put all things under his feet, and gave
him to be all things over—to be over all things to the church,
(23) Which is his body, the fulness of him that
filleth all and in all.
In other words what we have here,
whether you want to see it or not, is the complete fulfillment of God’s Word.
What God wanted, what God was doing, He has now finished; and it was all done
through the means by which He set it forth, which was through that flawless
character, His Son, who came to redeem us and bring us back to the place where
we were with Him and God was All and in all. And now we are back there with
Him, with the purpose of God completely finished, that He wanted, in and
through us as His children and the Lord Jesus Christ, with the Holy angels and
the rest standing there, and that is it. That’s going on now while the homosexuals
are trying to take over and do take over. Let them take over! Our sexual
experience at this time is spiritual sexual experience with Christ. Exactly
what Paul and Bro. Branham taught. Paul taught it. It’s in the Book of love,
Songs of Solomon, but people don’t get it. We’re right back to Revelation 21,
then, at that point.
59. So now, the next thing we see in divine
order, and we are there, whether people want to realize it or not, is in
Hebrews 12. And in Heb 12:18-29, and this is refreshing your minds, because
I’ve got to do this to let you know the revelation of this hour: there is one
God. And that’s Jn 1:1. Now I don’t care what you’re hearing, and I’m not
interested. I don’t want to hear anybody’s tapes. I don’t want to hear what
anybody’s doing, because I have heard from the Pillar of Fire, who has ordained
that He will speak by the mouth of the man whom He chooses. And William Branham
is no more chosen than I am, and you are, because the Scripture said, “Blessed
is the man whom thou chooseth and causes to approach unto thy throne.” And if
you haven’t been chosen and caused to approach, you can run all you want and do
what you want, it’s going to do you any good.
You say, “Bro. Vayle, you must
believe in a sovereign God.”
Thank you, thank you. That’s exactly
what I believe in. I appreciate those thoughts.
60. Heb 12:18:
(18) For you are not come unto the mount that
might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness,
and tempest.
Now that’s the mountain that can be
touched. He said, “Don’t touch it,” but you can. That’s what God said to Eve,
“Don’t touch it,” but she did. Oh yeah, you can, but you shouldn’t. And you
will sow and you will always reap, reap, reap, reap; sow and reap, sow and
reap. The morning I get up, I sow. By night I reap. I get up, I sow. All day
long I sow; all day long I reap. All day long I sow; all day long I reap. You
think I don’t? Well, you’ve got to be deluding yourself. You know, we’re all
mean enough to be mean as a snake. What holds us back? Sowing and reaping.
Sewing in the spirit and by the spirit that is within us; and it always heeds
the Word.
And I can tell you right now, every
one of us who’d do a whole lot of things we’re not doing now, but we know we’d
reap; so let’s take it all the way. Life is nothing but a series of habit
patterns. Say what you want, sowing, reaping; sowing, reaping; sowing, reaping;
sowing, reaping. You are not come unto the mountain that might be touched and
can be touched. What had happened? It burned with fire and blackness, darkness,
and tempest.
(19) And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice
of words; which voice they heard entreated that the Word should not be spoken
to them any more:
“Don’t talk to us anymore.”
61. I want to ask you, can you ever get
enough of this Word? Well, evidently you live under a different kind of a
mountain. These guys said, “Hey, we can’t take it. Listen, we don’t want that.”
Spiritual food in due season tastes awful good to me. Everything Bro. Branham
said I say, “Amen, that’s right; Amen, that’s right.” I don’t have any trouble
with it. Why? Because he is right. Two and two have made four since God came
into existence—and He always was.
(20) (For they could not endure that which was
commanded, And if so much a beast touched the mountain, it should be stoned, or
thrust through with a dart:
(21) So great was the—terrible the sight, that
Moses said, I exceedingly fear and I quake:) (“Oh, this is a terrible thing.”)
(22) But you are come unto Mt. Zion, (Now that’s
not a mountain you can touch right now. You’ll live in it.) unto the city of
the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of
angels.
(23) And to the general assembly even the church
of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God, the judge of all,
and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
And to Jesus, see, there’s two of
them right there. One’s God and one isn’t. And he’s still mediator. he’s still
between us and God. Now, isn’t that simple? Then why are people fussing when
you talk about two of them,and especially when you mention that you are
speaking of the Father and His Son?
62. Actually, when you talk about God, you
talk about millions of things, and some of which are His Own lifeblood, His own
life, which are His children, one of which is the Only-begotten, which, in the
Greek, means ‘uniquely’ begotten, one-of-a-kind, never before, not now and
never again. And he’s the firstborn, and by actual fact of God’s Own Word, he
owns fifty percent of all creation. He’s the obedient one. By his obedience and
death he perfected us, so therefore, he’s worthy of worship and praise and
honor and glory. And why not? Because God gave it to him. But I’m going to tell
you something: God doesn’t share His Own glory with him, because He said, “I’ll
share My glory with nobody, but I’ll give you glory.” That’s a different
precept isn’t it? Definitely.
63. Just think about it for a while. Come on,
just think about it. I’ve told you the truth. Now let your own thinking go and
start thinking, “ What about this business of God’s glory? He doesn’t share
it.” He certainly does not share it. He will give glory, but He doesn’t share.
He will give you glory. He will give you many things, but you will never, ever
share in the mind of God and the wisdom of God, because that is inviolate. You
will never share in the power of God, that is His Own. He will allocate, He
will give, He will bless, He will help. But you leave God alone my
brother/sister. And don’t you dare try to enter in, even to His Presence,
except by the way He ordained; and if you don’t enter that way, you’ll die. And
God sent a prophet with the Word. That doesn’t obviate anything that Jesus did
or God wanted. This is how God said it was going to be.
(24) Jesus the mediator of the covenant and to
the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
(25) See that you refuse not him that speaketh.
(Who’s that? That’s God.)
Now, we’ve come to the—we’ve come
right to the Holy City. Now, remember, the Millennium, or the Promised Land,
takes very, very little time as to its subject when you compare it to New
Jerusalem, which is the big subject. What’s a thousand years in eternity? But
we need to be there, because that day must be restored.
64. (25)
Refuse not him that speaketh. (Who
came down—Revelation 10:7, Paul telling us someone’s coming down.) Refuse not
him… (That’s God.) For if they escape not who refused him that spoke on earth,
much more shall they not escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from
heaven:
So now, you’ve got the message.
Jesus himself cannot be here. There’s no way. It wouldn’t do him any good
anyway. He’d have to have God doing it, because that’s the way that God does
things.
(26) So his voice then shook the earth: but now
he had promised, saying, it yet once more I will shake not the earth only, but
also heaven.
So, Jesus himself admitted, and Bro.
Branham himself admitted, he was only a voice. He was one that stood there when
that One descended. Christ was identically the same: he was the one that stood
there at the River Jordan when God came down. And when Jesus died upon the
cross, who was it that shook the earth with the earthquakes and all?
(27) And this word, Yet once more, signifies the
removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that
those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
(28) Wherefore, we receiving a kingdom which
cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably in
reverence and Godly fear:
(29) For our God is a consuming fire.
So It tells you right there, the
consuming fire. He’s not talking about Jesus; he’s talking about God.
65. So at the end time, at the approach unto
the Holy City via the Millennium, we have to come by this way right here, God
once more speaking from heaven, which is the seat of authority and the dominion
by elevation. How does He do it? He does it by a prophet. And in spite of the
fact that all these things are so adverse—and believe me they are terribly
adverse to our thinking—we don’t have to worry about them, because we have over
here Revelation 22 again, and this time we read previous verses: Rev 22:10-17:
(10) Then he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings
of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
66. Now, what was sealed up? Rev 10:1-7. So
therefore, since the seals were open, and they had to be open, they had to be,
for this verse to come into existence. The book, now unsealed in Revelation 10,
cannot be resealed. In other words what started must continue. So the homosexuals
will keep on taking over the world, the brute beasts will increase, religion
will increase by leaps and bounds, God will be turned away from the hearts of
everybody but 144,000 Jews; that’s all going to be left. The foolish virgin
will all die. Nobody but 144,000. How many Jews are there? I’d say
fifteen-sixteen million. When I was in Greece in 1970, there was four million
Greeks in Greece and sixteen million more in the world. How many Jews? I’d say
fifteen-sixteen million. I don’t know. That’s about eight out of who knows made
the ark, heh? 144,000.
67. Now It says here, don’t you seal it,
don’t you dare seal it. Why? Because anything can happen now. And what is
happening is going to carry you right to the New Jerusalem. It’s going to… Why
does it stress that? Because it’s only at the New Jerusalem that God becomes
All and in all, which He was before He started Jn 1:1. It’s got to go back
there. God alone with His eternal purpose, now God above the throne with His
eternal purpose fulfilled. He may have more; I don’t know. That purpose
fulfilled. And it’s the kingdom handed back to the Father. The Father is now
putting everything under the feet of Jesus, getting the Bride ready to get out
of here. That spirit become incarnate to us. We crown Him King of Kings and
Lord of Lords at the Wedding Supper. That One is Father, Son, Holy Ghost; Son
of man, Son of God, Son of David; Lily of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon, the
Altogether Lovely. They’re all there. Three and a half years travels by, one
thousand years travels by-how much at the White Throne? Don’t ask me, I don’t
know, cause even the word ‘millennia’ is millennia. Who knows?
Time goes by. Time and eternity have
blended, and one day time runs right out. At that time, the Kingdom is handed
back to the Father, and the Father becomes All and in all. The Lamb is on the
throne and the Pillar of Fire above the throne. The great ministry of Jesus has
come to its predestinated purpose and fulfilled. And the sheep are saved; not
one is lost.
68. Now listen,
(11) He that is unjust, let him be unjust still:
(No more repentance: Hebrews 6.) He which is filthy, let him be filthy still:
(No more blood. Why? Because the atonement is for the elect.) And he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: he that is holy, let him be holy still.
Separation complete, serpent seed,
children of God; every plant my Father hath not planted is going to be rooted
up. Nothing is left now, the history of the homosexuals and all the serpent
seed has run out. It’s run right out. And it’s running out right now in our
times.
(12) Behold, I come quickly; my reward is with
me, to give every man according as his work shall be. (That’s the judgment seat
of Jesus Christ.)
(13) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
end, the first and the last. (I started it, I’m ending it, what I was at the
beginning I’m at the very end right now. I have been fulfilled.)
(14) Blessed are they that do his commandments
(No, they that wash their robes. A Seventh-day Adventist would sure like that
one.)
(14) Blessed are they that wash their robes,
that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the
gates unto the city. (Blessed are they that can go into the Rapture.)
69. Bro. Branham said, “I’d like to see a virgin who would stand still in the waters of
separation.” What’s he going to do? Wash her with the water of the Word
according to Ephesians. Dress her in those garments. Remember, he said, “The
sword of the Lord… When he said, “What is
the sword of the Lord? The Word of God.” “Bring on your holy vesture with the Word of God standing by.”
Dressed in the Word. A Word Bride dressed in the Word. Blessed are they whose
robes are washed in the waters of separation of the Word of the living God. She
is now glorious within and all glorious without. And she has the right to Tree
of Life, which was missed, which is absolutely immortality, because the Bible
said, “Lest they eat of the tree of life and live forever.” But then the
baptism with the Holy Ghost came along and sealed you to the privilege of
living forever.
70. But here is a Bride, a company of people,
who will not die. Are there five hundred? Are there seven hundred, are there
five thousand, are there seven thousand? I don’t know, and I don’t need to
know. Why? Because it’s not for me to know. You don’t care much what kind of a
watch I’ve got or how much my glasses cost or where I got them? In fact I don’t
even like the stupid things; they don’t work. And that’s not my eyeballs
either. It’s the frames I’m talking about. What do you care? Say… it’s none of
your business. None of my business what God wants to do. He’s already done it,
and I’m a part of what He said, and that takes care of it.
71. All right. This concludes until we come
back again—if we ever do, and we likely will—the hour in which we live,
negative, positive, of the Name of our God, Who is One—the doctrine of one God
that Israel knew, the early Church knew, that was corrupted And now we’re back
to the position where he that knew his God, William Branham… and exploits
unheard of except the ministry of Jesus Christ, which was even eclipsed
numerically. Let’s rise and be dismissed.
Gracious God and Father, as we go
our way we thank You again for the time we’ve had together. Knowing Lord that
we have laid the foundation again, and shown very, very correctly and, I
believe, Lord, perfectly, according to Your Word and what we have known to be
vindicated. That this is a subject that Bro. Branham said so truthfully as he
preached the seals, the great, great revelation that came out of those seals,
or it came out to this age, and I would place it, Father, in actually both,
that came out of the age and was completely confirmed under the seals; “there is one God,” and we must be
baptized correctly in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it was THUS SAITH
THE LORD that if we weren’t correctly baptized, we should be baptized over
again.
And I thank You, Lord, that that was
done, and I’m glad I had it done, and I’m glad the people here have had it
done, and I’m very glad, Lord, that all the young ones who were baptized have
been baptized correctly, and they know that there is one God. And they accede
and realize that, and we’re very grateful for it.
Now Father, where it takes us, and
we know it’s going to take us, absolutely right into the heart of the reality
that we have been given today, because if this is what we must have, then we
know we must have it without which there can be no furtherance, otherwise we
would be guessing, we would not know the one and only true God that—who sent
Jesus Christ, who certainly came again, that same ministry… came to the
Gentiles.
We know, therefore, that You are
Elohim, and we want to abide by that, not asking You, Lord, to reveal all Your
secrets to us. We know that is not what is given us assuredly, but we can know
what is given for us at this hour. And if it entails all, we’re grateful. If it
entails those few things we need to know, we are still very grateful, because
we know we will receive exactly from You what we need in order to put us in the
Rapture. We understand that and we thank You for it, that there is a people
already sealed in, separated by the Word, ready now to go into the Millennium
where that is going to be the key and the value, because we will enter into a worship,
and without that revelation, that doctrine, we know that even the worship of
the Millennium, as the prophet said, the temple worship set up, there would be
no way we could be acceptable.
So we thank You, Lord, now that we
are completely acceptable to enter in to that glorious era that lies before us,
which is previous to, and no doubt necessary as, a further revelation and
sanctification to going on beyond the White Throne to the New Jerusalem. So we
have been hallowed, Lord, by You, and may we hallow Your Name. May You be
glorified, Lord, and may we honor and respect our elder brother, the Lord Jesus
Christ, and have our hearts and our minds set in order for the great order that
You have given us that we have entered into.
May Your Name be exalted. May the
sick amongst us be healed, Father. We know the prophet said many things about
not just availability, but entitlement. Father, may we learn, as never before
our entitlement and come boldly to the Throne of Grace and receive for every
time of need, not to boast, not to exalt, not to set ourselves apart as though
“Look at us,” but as children, loving children to the devoted Father, receive
from your hand, and we in turn glorify Your Name in all respect, giving You the
glory.
That’s what we want, oh God, because
we know true humility is believing what you said, and then having an atmosphere
and a spirit about us that acquiesces in the same way that same Word was given
us. God may you receive glory. You know that’s our heart, and Father, you know
we wouldn’t be talking from our hearts, if it wasn’t from You, from Your Own
Self, to put it this way.
So, may it be with each one to give
You glory and honor. In the Name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
“Take the Name of Jesus with You.”
