PARADOX #4

(3) Every place that the sole of thy foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

(4) From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates and all the land the Hittites, to the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

(5) There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you, I will not fail you nor forsake you.

(6) Be strong and of a good courage for unto this people shall thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I swear unto your fathers to give them.

(7) Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee; turn not from it to the right nor to the left hand that thou mayest prosper wherever thou goest.

(8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe do according to all that is written therein; then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success.

(9) Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid neither be thou dismayed for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Now you'll notice in there, the literal commission is: "Be of good courage; for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance, the land, which I swear unto their fathers to give them." Now, that was to Bro. Branham of course, personally, the great commission. And we understand that, because It is the Message. It is the Word.

2. We can read first from Titus 1:3. "But hath in due times manifested His Word through preaching which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Savior." And a liberalized translation is: "But in His own private and strategic seasons, He made known His Word in a proclamation with which I was entrusted."

3. Now remember, we took up in Luke, where Christ was quoting from the Book of Isaiah, that it was a proclamation. And there would be a proclamation at the end time. There was a proclamation that was given concerning grace and the closing of the book. And there was to be a proclamation at the end time, when grace runs out and an opening of the book. And this would be in His own private and strategic season. And you'll recall that Jesus Himself said, "It was not given for the people to know the times or the seasons, when that kingdom would come into an order, but God had reserved it unto His own strategic times." And therefore, there would be a proclamation come according to a strategic time, [and the strategic time would be God's Own time and His Own strategy revealed.]

4. Now we read to you already, in the Book of 1 Peter, when I discussed this with you concerning the Rapture, where 2 Peter says, I have already written you an epistle concerning this very thing we're talking about which is the literal coming of the kingdom: a prophet revealing the Word; teachers rising up to destroy it; the earth held and reserved for judgment; the people of the bride aware of it, the rest not aware of it, and judgment coming.

5. All right, It says here; "Now concerning which salvation (again we're reading a very liberal translation which is literalized for our benefit), prophets conducted an exhaustive inquiry in search, those who prophesied concerning the peculiar grace destined for you, searching as to what season, or character of season, the Spirit of Christ, who was in them was making plain, when He was testifying before hand, concerning the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should come after these sufferings. To whom it was revealed, that not for themselves were they ministering these things, which now have been reported to you, through those who have announced the glad tidings to you, by the Holy Ghost, Who was sent down on a commission from Heaven, which things angels have a passion and desire, to stoop way down, and look into, (like the cherubims of the mercy seat). Wherefore having put out of the way, once for all, everything that would impede the free action of your mind, be calm and collected in spirit, and set your hope perfectly holy, unchangeable, without doubt and despondency, upon the grace that is being brought to you, upon the occasion of the revelation of Jesus Christ."

That was not the crucifixion. And that was not the revelation they had at that minute. The very prophets that understood, the grace that would be revealed, concerning Jesus Christ's death, and resurrection, have entered into it. They are already in the first resurrection. This is something different. This is those ones, who were looking down the road, still don't know, because they can't know what we're into. They looked at it. But what's coming now was not unto them. This is ours. Do you follow? Okay.

6. "As obedient children, not assuming an outward expression, which does not come from your inner being." So therefore, don't try to be holier than Moses or holier than Paul or holier than William Branham or holier than anybody else, because you're already tagged. You've been discerned. Everybody knows what you're like, so don't try to put a show on. It won't do you any good anyway, so relax. Fan is in His hand, the garner is purged, and He is separating. Now, I know what I am talking about. I hope you're understanding. We are talking about a message of grace. See?

7. "...Your inner being, and it is not represented about an expression patterned, after the expression which you formally had, in the ignorance of your past and desires, but, after the pattern of One who called you, the Holy One; you yourselves also become holy persons, in every kind of behavior, because it is written; it is on record: be ye holy individuals, because for myself I am holy."

Now this is something here, that you're absolutely not going to attain by anything that you ever had in any other generation, any church or anything else. Now remember, we're going to talk about Bro. Branham saying, "Everybody always wants to put something into it." Everybody wants to climb the rungs of the ladder. Now this is one time, where you're going to have to find yourself left to the mercy of God.

Now he tells you here: "And in view of the fact that you call on Him, on Father, a call, that you call on as Father, Him who judges, not with the partiality based upon outward appearance, a mirrored appearance, but with an impartiality in accordance to each individual's work, with a wholesome serious caution, order your behavior during the time of your residence as foreigners" and so on.

8. Now, he says here, and this is what I want to look at. "Let the God and Father of your Lord Jesus Christ, be eulogized, who impelled by His abundant mercy, caused us to be born again, so that we have a hope which is alive. This living hope, having been made actual through the intermedient instrumentality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ out from among those who are dead." Remember it's the first resurrection, the first part, the first resurrection is over and the Old Testament saints are in it. "...resulting in an inheritance, imperishable, and undefiled, that does not pay the way, which inheritance has been laid up for you, and is now kept guard in safe deposit in heaven, for those who are constantly being kept guarded by the power of God, through faith, for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last season, which is epochal, and strategic in it's significance. Which last season, you ought to be constantly rejoicing, with the joy, that expresses itself, in triumphant exuberance. Although for a little while, the present time of per chance, there is a need of it, you have been made sorrowful in the midst of many kinds of testings, in order that you prove with your faith, which faith was examined by testing, for the purpose of being approved. That approval being much more precious than approval of gold, which perishes, even though that gold be approved by fire attesting, may be discovered after scrutiny, to result in praise and glory and honor at the time of the revelation of Jesus Christ."

It's not back there in the old day. That's now. See? And this is what Bro. Branham said, "The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ was the day of the judge.” Remember there it is right there. This is that hour, proving the judge is here by the fact he could read every single heart. It takes a prophet to know the Word of God, to reveal the Word of God, and to explain the Word of God, and then to pass on the Word of God. From that time on the Word of God goes right down the road, and It just separates and takes in everything. There's no way that you can stop It.

9. All right. We're looking at these things then, which is what Bro. Branham was supposed to have, the strategic Word of the season. He was to have the Word of the hour, and he was to divide It to us. [He was to proclaim It], because that's what It's all about. All right, we go a little further here. Now verse six we read.

(6) Be strong and of good courage for unto you shall thou divide for an inheritance the land which I swear unto your fathers to give them.

All right, remember there are seven messages, and Seven Church ages, and if we are going to parallel, then remember there is a message. Okay? Verse six, is paragraph 40. He said;

(40) Every time I would hold a Bible and said, "Lord, what is the message to me? What have you got to tell me? He said, "I've got to tell you something, I have given you a Word for a season. I have given you a message. See?

Now, that's exactly what It is. He is to take and divide the food in due season, the food convenient. He is to take the Word, and to place It, for this hour. That was his job. All right? Now, we take that to page twelve, which you haven't read before, 87 to 90. Now this is where he is.

(87) We're taught in Revelation the sixth chapter, I believe, yes sixth chapter and Seven Seals. The Book to be sealed up with seven mysteries, or Seven Seals, Revelation six. And the last day, Revelation ten, in Revelation ten, we find that Laodicea, last messenger of the age, and during the time of his prophecy, the Seven Seals would be open, seven mysteries, seven mysteries have been left off.

(88) In every age there has been some left, some of It left off. The reformers didn't have time to take care of It. Sure, they didn't live long enough. The days of Luther, he only preached justification by faith. He was gone, they made a church. After come Wesley, he preached sanctification. There it was. Long came Pentecostals.

(89) But we're promised, according to Revelation ten, and according to Malachi four, now Revelation 10, is according to Malachi 4, and Saint Luke seventeen and thirty, or twenty-two, and so forth, there has got to come an Ephesians. There is promised it friends. There must come an Ephesians, that these sevenfold mysteries, of the Word of God, must be unfolded. And it's in the Laodicean age that this takes place. I believe we're there.

All right. Now he tells you It's in Ephesians. So therefore, there's something here in Joshua, that we've got to discover, the commission given him, in order to see where we are going. Which we will see.

10. Now, we return to page 6. And again we'll look at 45 to 46. He's praying.

(45) And we realize we're closing the time, time is running out. Now watch. We're closing the time, time is running out.

Now I want you to listen carefully and get where we are, because look, I've had a very poor week this week, because of my own folly. And I've let things upset me, because of other things that are folly. And I'm going to have a hard time this morning, and this message is ultra, ultra important; it is a plateau. Now you know I don't tell you these things, if I don't mean them; because I'm responsible for what I tell you. And I'm very responsible, because of what goes out of here. And it's a pity, but people are hanging on my words. Now, so I want you to listen, and I'm trying to be right in what I'm giving you. Here's what he said;

(45) We're closing the time, time is running out.

He allotted time. You say, "I just don't believe a prophet came down here." You don't believe the Word of God. Go on home. You're already dead sick. You already missed the boat. You don't believe anything anyway. You say, "Bro. Vayle..." "Fact is, I'd preach to the four corners or to my wife." Now let's get the next thing.

(45) And it's blending with Eternity. (That's what I have been preaching. You can't get people to believe it.) And we're at the west coast.

11. Now time doesn't run out completely until after the White Throne. But you're already into eternity. Now that's concerning the Word and the conditions. Whether you're there or not, and I'm there or not, depends on election, which is forerunning predestination. And this is where you and I don't have a representation; you either are a son of God, or you are not a son of God. And you always were that. But fallen is fallen. Then when you get to the raising up to redemption, there's where you've got your representation. See?

12. (45) It's blending it with Eternity. We're at the west coast. Then there's only one place where this message can go, and that's back east. And when it goes back east, it goes back to a nation. You know something? I want to find one nation that's not represented here in America. I believe you'll even find the Bushman, from Africa somewhere, he's got his blood here somewhere. And you'll find the Maori, you'll find everybody, because America is the melting pot. And the sun is going down. And the Son came over here to America (Now I am typing), and this is the Message of the kingdom. And remember the ends of the earth have to come upon It; you can't go back to the first age, second age, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh, and you can't go back where the sun came from. You've got to follow it right through. Then in a type, the Message of the kingdom has been heard, when It struck America. That's where the blood lines are. You say, "I don't know if I believe that." Then you don't believe Jesus Christ, because He pinned everything on the children, what their parent's had. And we're falling here at everything Luther had, and Wesley had, and Pentecost had, and everybody else had, because we're the end time children that are being turned back. That's the thought.

(45) As civilization has travelled, East to West, so has the gospel travelled with it. And now there is no place to go but East again. It's completed.

(45) Now he says this right in his prayer. And we pray, Heavenly Father, that this will be a great hour for all of us, that we might sense the Presence of the Holy Spirit, the Writer of this Book back in the building of the tabernacle of flesh.

Now, if that is the baptism with the Holy Ghost, then He always was tabernacling in flesh. This is different. This is William Branham talking. "When you see God descend from the heavens, stand before groups of men and declare Himself as ever He did.” That's God in the prophet. You say, "How much of God?" In this case all of God. You say, "I don't know if I believe it." You don't have to believe anything. Nobody asked you to.

Manifesting Himself to us. How is He doing it? Why He said, "I'm going to manifest Myself to you, but not to the world." And Judas said, "Well how in the world you going to manifest to us and not to the world?" Well he said, "It's a good thing you asked that question." So I'm going to tell you how it is. It is over here in Heb 11:14. "And they that say such things declare plainly." Because that word means 'manifest.' How You going to manifest? How You going to declare Yourself plainly to us and not to the world? It's very simple. It's like those Hebrews. It's over here in the Book of 1 John 4.

(4) They are of the world therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God and He that knoweth God heareth us, and he that is not of God does not here us. Hereby we know, the Spirit of truth and error.

Hereby you know if you've got the Holy Ghost or not. How are You going to be manifested? How are You going to be declared plainly? It's going to take the Word.

13. And remember in Malachi, "They spake often one to another." They weren't talking to God. They were talking to each other. You say, "What profiteth us Bro. Vayle if we talk this Message?" Shows who we are. [] Now notice:

(46) In the pardoning of our sins, the forgiving of our iniquity, and with the assurance He will not impute to the believer, with the assurance of that.

She's blameless, without sin, the perfect will of Almighty God. All right, God always has manifested Himself. He never has had any way, but what He always has had. He attracts the people first by the signs, the wonders, the miracles, and those things that are genuine. Then He brings them to a message; which is the complete revealing and the unveiling.

14. Well, let's go back now to page 8. And in page 8, he says here, reading the portion to us as the text.

(12) Then spake Joshua unto the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; thou, Moon, the valley of Ajalon.

(13) The sun stood still, the moon stayed, until the people avenged themselves upon their enemies.

Now remember, there's a day of avenging at the end of our age too. The widow says, "Avenge me of mine adversaries. I want my inheritance." I've been beat out of my inheritance, by that corrupt bunch of Roman Catholics and Protestants out there. Because as long as they stand there, and I don't have my inheritance, the Word divided to me, I can't get anywhere. So he said, "Sun stand still, moon stand still." In other words let nature, let everything stand still positively, until the saints of God are avenged. You say, "Do you believe that?" I wouldn't have said it if I didn't believe it.

"Seeing it's a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you. And you who are troubled relax with us when the Lord Jesus Christ shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels and flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God."

15. There it is right there. So you see a parallel. Things of God are in order. All right.

(13) Is it not written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hastened not to go down for a whole day.

(14) There was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord harkened unto the of a voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel.

Now notice. He's harkened to the voice of a man. We'll get in that just a minute. You know, there is a promise that said; if you say to this mountain, "Be thou moved," it will move. Do you know it's got to repeat? It doesn't say the sun is going to stand still, moon stand still. It says God never harkened to a man, from that time until the time indicated through Jesus; when you say to this mountain, "You be moved," it will be moved. God is going to listen to the voice of a man. Now how much of a man is He going to listen to? You understand right now, that isn't a carte blanche statement so that you can say anything you want. That would have to be God in the man, the same as Jesus said, "The only the works I do are what He tells me to do, and what I see Him do."

16. All right, now, Paradox. The word 'paradox' means 'something incredible.' Something though it doesn't look like it's true, is true. Looks like two forces coming against each other. So it's impossible for them to be reconciled. But it's got to be true, because the prophet said so, and the Bible says so.

17. All right now; (57) “Joshua here is a book, actually, it's a Book of redemption. Now Joshua is a book.” Now watch, he doesn't say the person. He says the book. I told you how Bro. Branham corrected me. He said, "Lee, it is neither me nor my ministry. It's my message.” I said, "Let me understand this. As there was John the Baptist, nobody but John the Baptist, then it isn't William Branham specifically. It's the message of the individual. It's the message that comes." He said, "That's it.” All right, you'll notice then, it's a book. Now;

(57) We have to consider it, it's a Book of redemption. It has two parts. Redemption anywhere has two parts. It's "out of" and "in to." It takes two parts to make redemption, "out of" and "in to." All right just a minute now; they already came up, but they didn't go in. They died off, so it looks like it's a coming out of a coming out. Then they'll be going in. Out of death into life.

(58) Moses represented the law which brought them out of Egypt, whereas, Joshua represented grace that took them into the promised land. Another way, was, the law and grace were two different aspects of God's command or God's Word. See, it's one Word. That's why Paul said, "The law is holy." He said, "Trouble is with me." Now what could a commandment that condemns you do any thing for you? You better have something that doesn't condemn you. See? So, now the law brought them out (Moses) and Joshua took them in. So you see we are not involved with personalities here, Joshua, and Moses; we're involved with two types of Word. See? Now;

(59) It, (that's Joshua) also represents something for our day. Now it, (Joshua), represents as they were in the journey, coming from Egypt into a promised land, so that we have come out of the world of Egypt, that's chaos, the abyss, on our road to a promised Land. "In My Father's house there are many mansions; if it weren't so, I would have told you," Coming "out," going "in to." Okay?

(60) It's the law that brings us to recognize we're wrong, but it's grace that forgives us.

In other words there's got to be a diagnostic word before there can be a prognostic word. And the diagnosis is, if people accept It, there will be a satisfactory prognosis. Now you've come to this Pentecostal age: "You're wretched, you're miserable, you're naked, you're blind," and they say, "Who do you think you are, you [ignorant] slob." "Me. I'm wonderful." But the diagnosis is, "wretched, miserable, blind, naked." The [prescription] is, change your stinking mind about yourself. That's the prognosis [that will correct the problem].

18. Now, how are you going to get a people that are blind, and don't know it, that are deaf and don't know it, in adultery and don't know it, completely sealed in to their wickedness, and think they're wonderful; and like Cain, they'll kill to prove it; "We're in the Bible, bless God. It's the Bible, Bible, Bible." But they haven't got the Word of the hour. And remember Pentecost never did have a leader. They're the tail end of the face of a man; that's why they go to seed. And they pride themselves on never having had a leader. Then what kind of a mess are they? The worse mess of any age, because there is a leader, and they don't know it, because every age has a messenger.

19. All right, the law--diagnosis. Grace is the prognosis. The law has no hope. A diagnosis never cured anybody; but it sure smartens you up that you needed a cure, if you could take it. And they couldn't do it. Now, and remember the law of this hour is, the diagnosis: "You're wretched, you're miserable, you're blind, you're naked, and you haven't got a thing." Now the prognosis is: Repent, and I'm standing at the door, and you [can] get in touch with Me." And this hour, in other words, at the Seventh Church Age along with the messenger, God Himself comes down to give him a hand. All right?

(60) This law has no grace in it, because law only points you're a sinner, but grace tells you how to get out of it. Law is the policeman that put you in jail, redemption is the One that came and paid your fine; put you out of jail, but redemption is what got you "out of," and "in to" grace.

Now that's the great paradox there, because he's talking about this hour. And people say, "Now just a minute; if I'm born again, how am I locked into something I can't get out of?" And they're talking now about any condition. Or they're saying, "I'm locked into the Holy Ghost. I am locked into God. How am I out of it?" Because they don't have the Holy Ghost. Because why? They've got a tongues evidence. They've got a false [teaching]. You can't tell them that. There's no way they're going to do it. How are you going to make anybody believe Mal 4:6, except it's for the Jews or somebody else? How are you going to make a people believe these things? There's no way you can make them believe these things.

20. Now;

(61) The Ephesus. Now we find the same thing, the Old Testament, I think this Book of Joshua fits. A fitting word for it, would, be the book of Ephesus of the Old Testament. The Book of Ephesians of the Old Testament, would be a good thing to title this Book of Joshua, because it's certainly fitting to this.

All right? Then Ephesus has to be a repeat, at least in a measure, if not the entire measure, of what was back there in the days of Joshua. Now we know the Book of Ephesians runs out with the Rapture. So therefore, we are looking for something that is going to put us into the many mansions, which is an eventual thing.

21. All right.

(62) Now we find Joshua representing grace, or some propitiation, that it could not exist in the same time the law was in existence. Now watch that. I'll read it again.

(62) Now we find Joshua representing grace.

Now this is the Book, not so much the man, although the man's there, or some propitiation. So therefore, grace is a propitiatory act on the part of the offended one, not on the offender.

Here's an example: you've got a dog, you know, that sucks eggs. And so you finally wait one day, and you catch him, and you smack him around the snout a bit. And so you peek again one time, and the dog is grabbing an egg again, and he looks up and sees you, and he kind of grins at you, wiggles his tail. Ain't no good. You're going to bust him. That's the way a lot of people are. They think they can pull a propitiatory against God. There ain't no way; it's got to be from God's side. There is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, and a mediator is not of one. When there are two people involved, and they've got trouble, you bring in a third person. Now the Bible distinctly says, "That God was His own mediator and delivered His own propitiatory act." So that's God doing everything. So all you got to do is agree with what God did [and agreeing means believing.]

(62) Now Joshua representing grace, or some propitiation, that could not exist in the same time that law was in existence.

Because law said, "Do something." Grace and propitiation says, "Do nothing." Yet it is a paradox too, and I'll show why a little later on.

22. Now listen, let's read the next part.

(63) Neither does any message, that forwards the people on, ever coincide with the past message.

Now nobody believes that. Now basically down inside they understand to this end, that God said, "Ah, in My Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go prepare a place for you. I'm going to come and get you." Wonderful. God said certain things at the end time, "There's going to be fire fall upon the earth, there is going to be earth quakes, this, that, and the other thing. There is going to be this thing, that thing spiritual, this thing, that thing negative." They look down the road and they said, "Now that's fine." But because the Word was already given, they failed to understand, that starting with the apostle Paul, there was a measure of Word for every hour, that began bringing the church closer, and closer, and closer; until one day, it would arrive at a place, which would take them over, into the Millennium. In other words, forwarding the people.

23. 23. Now Bro. Branham being a prophet, showed us how the church, being in the image of Christ, must die, and go in the ground; which was a spiritual and a physical thing. And it went in there under the dark ages, for four hundred years, and began to come back in a resurrection, under Luther, forwarding the church, not down, but forwarding the church up, until it could go in. Now Bro. Branham categorically said, and it's true: "The message will not coincide with the last one, if it's going to forward you."

What message did the Roman Catholic church have? Oh they say, "Well you see Bro. Vayle, there was nothing there." Hogwash there wasn't, then there was nobody born again. There was a whole bunch born again. They had some saints. They fought the pope, and everything else, and they died. Now Luther came, and it was so distinct, that the church took it magnificently, and it went into seed. And Wesley came on the scene, and the church began going, going onward. And Pentecost came on the scene, and the church went onward. And each time there was a radical stepping away. Then won't this be a radical stepping away? []

24. Now, he said:

(63) Neither does any message, that forwards the people on, ever coincide with the past message. It will not do it. There's where you have trouble today. Jesus said, "Does any person take a new piece of garment put it on an old? Or put the new wine into old bottles? They perish. It bursts them open." They can't stand it.

That's exactly true. They can't stand It. Let's see what it's like. This is the time to shake people. This is that time that God said, "There would come a time," He shook Mount Sinai one time, but said, "There would come a shaking again; wouldn't only shake Mount Sinai, but He'd shake everything that could be moved. Now that's Hebrews 12. But did you notice the rest of the Scripture? But we receive a kingdom that can't be moved, hallejuah. Now if that doesn't forward you, what does? Now Sinai was the shaking by the Word. And It tells you, He is going to speak again, and the speaking is going to be a shaking.

You know, something like a little kid, maybe not so little comes by, and maybe twelve, thirteen years old; he thinks he can really kid his dad. So he tells him a big whopper, thinking his dad will take and tell another whopper. The dad just hauls off and slaps him across the chops, and knocks his head around. He learns right now. He's shaken down. Well, God by grace brought miracles, signs, and wonders and showed the people they're shaken down, but they didn't take it.

25. Now, everything that can be shook down, will be shaken. The heavens will shake. That is, we're in that time right now. The earth will shake. We are in that time right now; California is going to go down. Heaven and earth will pass away, but that Word shall never pass away. For upon this rock, I'll build My church, and the gates of hell will never prevail against it. Everything that can be shaken, will be shaken, but we receive a Kingdom, which is the Word of God, Himself, and God is His Word. He doesn't shake Himself, but we receive a Kingdom that can't be moved. "It's unshakable," said Paul, the Hebrew writer, (Hebrews 12.)

26. Now he's talking about way back there, on Mount Sinai, and he is talking about William Branham, comparing to Moses. You say, "The guy's got a nerve." Well thank God he's got a nerve. Somebody's got to have guts. You've got to have the thing repeat at the end time.
