Covenants #05

Shall we pray.

Heavenly Father, we thank You again for this opportunity given us by You, Lord, that we can come together to call on Your Name, to worship Your name, to learn about You Lord, to receive revelation, to see how that You have committed Yourself to Your Own Self and Your Own Word, have worked it out and are working it out, and even by Your Presence today. We thank You for the full manifestation, Lord, of Your Presence, and the full manifestation of Your Word.

These things, Lord, are ours, we possess them, and may we be fully acquainted with them, Lord. May we live by that living Word, and thereby be happy and pleased, Lord, in Your Presence, and hopefully believing it is so, that You are happy and pleased with us. Bless us in our study; we’ll give You the praise, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now due to the fact that I’ve been away for awhile, a few services, and consequently have not been looking at the various Covenants in their chronological order, though we sort of tried to do that, the break that I took gives me an opportunity to examine the first and great covenant that actually predates all other covenants and is not mentioned too specifically in Genesis, but you see it particularly in Psalms 2:7-8, Psalms 45:1-17, which was written about 1000 BC, and it was hinted at in Genesis 2:15.

Now we’re going to look at that so you’ll know what we’re talking about. In the Book of Psalms 2, and just a few verses, 7-8, though we could actually have read the whole chapter. And he says here, well I could even start with 6:

And then in Psalms 45, which we will read in its entirety, it says:

Of course you’re looking there actually at Revelation 19.

Now you’ll notice that this here is the covenant of the Father to His Son. And this covenant was already in evidence by omniscient foreknowledge and ready to be manifested even at the time of the great interruption caused by Eve in Genesis 2:15.

So we go back to just notice that, where I said this same covenant was hinted at in Genesis 2:15, not Genesis 2:15, hold it, down here in Genesis 3:15.

In other words, a headship was going to be taken away from somebody and given to another somebody. And in process there would be the bruising of the heel of the somebody who takes over the headship from the other somebody. And of course we’re talking of course of Satan being bruised and his kingdom being forfeit through the battle of the cross and the shedding of the blood.

So here’s what we’re seeing here, we are seeing a covenant. And as time goes on we will actually show you, because it will all come up later as we go along, that this covenant was a pre-existent covenant, and it was already ordained from before the foundation of the world; and it is the covenant of the Father and the Son.

All right, now you’ll notice in there, as I said, that this covenant was in existence before the interruption caused by Eve. Now there was a time when I thought Brother Branham made a mistake and I thought he should have used the word ‘eruption’, when Eve caused the eruption. Not so.

Eve caused an interruption, which means there would be a delay from the time of the first covenant enunciated by God before even Adam and Eve, seed of the living God, were placed in a spirit body, before even the Garden of Eden, wherein God said, “Be fruitful and multiply,” and literally take over the earth and practically the universe by having a complete dominion, and Eve caused an interruption.

Now the reason I am saying this to you is that you might know that little William Branham, grade seven education, a Kentucky hillbilly, knew more with choicer expression and better words than all the theologians, and his Pentecostal contemporaries, the legalists, know nothing of what we’re speaking.

That’s why he said to them, he said, “The Baptists, and even some Catholics would know a million times more than you Pentecostals.” [Brother Vayle claps.] For Brother Branham. By the power of the Holy Ghost the prophet has given utterance, he doesn’t make mistakes. It was an interruption, and an interruption means that something stands still for a while, but then it goes on.

What stood still back there by Eve misbehaving, doing what she did, caused a delay, but now we’re right back where she was. Which means God wanted immortal people in complete control. And we’re just about there. It’s fantastic.

Now this great covenant, spoken of clearly by Paul in Hebrews 1:1-14, had a great price exacted upon it and by it in order for it to be truly obtained. So we go back to Hebrews here, and we read about it.

Now you will notice that Jesus said, “The Father in me is doing the speaking.”

Brother Branham said the same thing, as I read to you, where he said, “Not thus saith William Branham, that would never do it, but ‘THUS SAITH THE LORD,’” and one time, and we have the exact recording, and Brother Branham’s voice changes and the Voice spoke through him and said, “This is not Brother Branham speaking, this is the Lord.”

Now right away of course all the lovely Pentecostals and all the lovely Trinitarians, and all the lovely Onenesses, all the lovely so-called Christians would say, “Ah-hah! God never did a thing like that, that has to be the devil.”

I want to ask you a question. What did they do when they said that? Oh you don’t believe that, you’re too nice. Strange isn’t it? We’re nicer than God. Hath spoken in these last days in Son, and they said, “You are a devil, you have a devil, you are not that coming One, you are the other one.” And Israel still looks for a Messiah and antichrist.

Now you will find in there that is not even cosmos, and that is not materiality, that has to do with the ages. And you will notice even your calendar will tell you that, because it says, ‘BC’ and ‘AD’. There is no way you can get rid of Jesus and the ages, and when you understand the truth of Godhead, you will find that He marks the beginning of all ages unto the end when there are no more ages, but eternity.

Now it tells you something in there. It’s telling you here what we have been speaking of. And we see the One who was consummating or bringing into effect this great covenant that was before preexistence in the sense of materiality.

And you will notice in there that Godhead itself, or God, is involved in the process of the purging. And in the process of the purging, the one who endured the process has been set down at the right hand. Now watch what it says about this one, who was used as in process.

Now let’s understand this; he obtained a Name. He said, “I came in my Father’s Name.” He obtained a Name. We did not obtain that Name. Our names are on the book, but his is different. So therefore, this One coming positively has a Name which is distinguished from every other name.

And there is no other name given under heaven whereby you must be saved, and there is no other name in heaven or in hell or in any place else where every tongue will confess as every knee bows to the glory of God. So you’re looking at this peculiar situation here of what I’d call a covenant.

And notice he’s made. So there is a process going on. And it is likened to the process that went on when angels came forth. That true? So what I’m trying to show you here, there is a starting point. There is something definite in the works, like a manufacturing process.

Now angels are ministering spirits. And a certain somebody is called the angel of the covenant. And angels are ministering spirits; they’re ministers. Just keep that in mind, we’ll perhaps cover it again later, I’ve covered it one time before.

Now we’re talking about something coming forth. Has a more excellent name and is different from the angels. And is already told us that this Son, in whom God was, speaking in and through, was the out-raying of glory and the expression of the substance of God.

Okay.

Now he doesn’t say, “You’re a minister of a flame of fire, and who is ministering.” You’ll notice he says, “He is reigning.”

Now you’ll notice in there, we have the thought of the years not failing. You cannot attribute that to God per se, because God does not measure years. He has no beginning and no ending and eternity is like a circle. It boggles the human mind, but we have to recognize this particular thing we’re talking about.

We are talking about God in a covenant with this particular person who evidently is exalted to a position that no one else is exalted to. Now evidently when you’re talking about Father and Son, the Jews understood this, which we’ll cover after a bit.

Now evidently this one is going to encounter an enemy. And the enemy, we already know, has to do with the beast. So this one is going to take over a kingdom from the beast, engaged in a mortal combat. And in the combat, whatever takes place; God must come to a rescue. This one himself is to be dealt with.

And whatever happens in the process, God Himself will see that the kingdom is delivered to the Son, in which kingdom he will reign, but at a future date, the kingdom will be turned back to the Father! Now we got a covenant here. And this covenant absolutely embraces, qualifies, every single other covenant.

Now we go to Hebrews 2, and it says in verse 7, we’ll read a few verses, we don’t have to read it all.

Well, let’s read 5.

This one will have nothing to do with this world! He himself said, “I have no part with this world, and it has no part with me.”

And when Satan says, “I will give you this, if you will just worship me.”

He said, “Drop dead, and get out of my way. I’m not interested in this, I’m going to get the next Kingdom, when my Father knocks your head off, and we take it over.”

Now pardon my expressions, but the vernacular, though vulgar, is maybe necessary in this twentieth century, but maybe not that bad.

Now, in the second resurrection, when Satan and all his group see this great One and His Bride, they are going to look at this through this Scripture. “Who is this bird anyway?” Satan came to him on earth and he said, “If you’re the Son of God, do so and so and so and so and so and so.”

No way. They will deliberately try to wrest the Kingdom from this One! What Kingdom? The future Kingdom! Because remember the Millennium is interim and sanctifying! We’re looking for the new heavens and the new earth, wherein reigneth righteousness! And God is righteousness. With the Lamb on the Throne.

Now that’s wonderful, because he was the Son of man. He was also the seed of the woman; a woman doesn’t have a seed.

All right, now notice. The Son of man that you visit him, and he came down in the form of a dove and inhabited the body of Jesus, and Jesus said, “My Father works in me and speaks through me.” Then if the days of the Son of man come again, who is going to be in that man? Oh people get too touchy.

O God, I’ll tell you what, they’re snot-balls. If you want to know the truth. I know I use horrible language, but I get so sick… “Well, you know I got the Holy Ghost.” Prove it. Prove it. I’m sharp, I’m nasty, but I care less. If I go to hell I’ll still preach it. I can’t stand hypocrisy and smart stupidity.

What does any man have compared to him since the time of the Apostle Paul? Who was vindicated? Let me read how Paul was vindicated. I’ve got lots of time, we’ll get through this next Christmas, and no promises made.

Romans 15, and Paul speaking. And he said here, about the 15th verse:

He was vindicated. “Well, Paul, who are you anyway?”

Well he said, “The Pillar of Fire spoke to me.”

“Hah, Pillar of Fire, nonsense.” Hogwash.

Hebrews 2:7

Hey, how in the world could it be otherwise when this one here was the expression of the substance of God, was the very out-raying of glory? He couldn’t change! He merely put aside those beautiful robes that he had, out of the ivory palaces, came down in Philippians 2, just as he said, but he was the same one! Who are we talking about? Let’s keep on reading.

Then if this one made the ages, and this one was by whom God created all things, then who did the creating? For it said, “You made him lower than the angels.” Now that’s an ordinary man, that’s true. But this one Jesus positively was also made lower than the angels for the suffering of death, because it tells you that. But man gave over, and Jesus didn’t. Now notice:

Now who has the credit for having all things by Him and for Him and to Him? Romans says it’s God!

All right. You’re looking at then,

He never took on our flesh, because there’s serpent in it! The last true human being was Noah! And the only super human being, since that time, even to compare with Jesus Christ, Paul himself! Was an admixture, the same as William Branham. And Mary was an admixture of the mother of Jesus.

The Roman Catholic Church says ‘the immaculate conception’, meaning that Mary had no sin, they’re liars and they know it. Because Mary had sin, she was a sinner. So much for stupidity.

So therefore the bruising of the heel, of this one, was a power that the devil had, and he exercised, because he was allowed it. And in so doing, he brought forth the blood of Jesus. There was a great price exacted for this covenant’s tenure.

Let’s go back to the Book of Isaiah 53.

Well, I’ll tell you. The people that believe the report will receive the revelation. And we can understand that because first of all there must be some evidence. Now watch.

Before whom? Whom before whom? The arm of the Lord. God reaching down. Now notice, these words I may have chance to use again in the sense you’ll understand them more, God Himself reaching down.

He wasn’t the personality kid with the good looks. Brother Branham said, “The woman wanted the boy with the cute little feet.” Ahh, I’ll just skip the rest.

And that goes right for today, and remember, that was at the time of the Son of man, and his death, and he appears again in Matthew 12, and is crucified afresh, so therefore again he is bearing our iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace is upon him because he appears as in 2 Thessalonians.

And it tells us specifically, “You that are troubled rest with us,” when that happens, and the healing comes, which is Malachi 3, which is immortality. Don’t ever disassociate Hebrews 13:8 from the Word of God. But begin to see what God’s done, He always has done, and is doing now.

You tell me that isn’t in Babylon? You tell me that’s not Revelation 3:14-21? When He looks down and He said, “I’m sick to death of the whole bunch of you. You’re neither hot nor cold, you make Me vomit. For you say you’re rich, increased in goods, and don’t lack a thing, and I say, “You’re wretched, miserable, blind, and naked.””

All we like sheep have gone astray, come out of her my people, lest you partake of her sins. To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? To whom the report’s given. Who hath believed our report? Who hath believed the preexistent covenant? Who hath believed God coming down, intervening Himself, interposing Himself, and bringing His Own report?

Oh, “He’s a distant God,” they say. You’re listening to a god, not a god, but gods mythological. The Bible says different.

In other words, brother/sister, when He was through vindicating, He never vindicated again. Yet people try to say the Son of man ministry is in the Bride. Certain preacher in Canada is teaching that the Son of man ministry was from ’46 to ’86.Pbbt. Hogwash.

It went with the prophet. The Word is in the Bride, if anything is. And she’s struggling, so the Word isn’t triumphant in her, as though it were a Son of man ministry from the Word. Don’t be carried away with folly.

In other words, who’s going to carry it on? Who’s going to lead it forth? He never had a woman. He couldn’t have got one anyway. Or she would have had to come forth like him. And she’d have come forth like him would have been twins. And being of that structure they could have had children. That wasn’t the will of God.

We’ll talk about some of those things later on again, some of these abstract, some of these things you read in the Bible. They don’t mean what it says at all. It’s just to jolt you. You say, “Then why’s it in the Bible?” It means it in the sense that it’s to jolt you! Just watch, and don’t get smart with the things of God.

Pleased the Lord to bruise him. I don’t know if I’m going to get the right thing here or not. But something just struck my mind, it could be there, I don’t know.

Ephesians 1:3-10

Pleased the Lord to bruise him. To get the covenant! A tremendous price was exacted for the out-working of this covenant. [Isaiah 53:]

You know that? He went into Hades in his soul-spirit form. And he saw his seed. And he came forth upon the earth and they were clothed just like him! He saw his seed. For the Lord has reserved a generation as a seed, and its all one-generation. You know why? Because we’re all, Brother Branham said, either sixteen to nineteen years old. Nobody’s old. Nobody’s mom or papa, grandfather, grandma.

It’s a generation. And a generation’s right about nineteen. Healthiest, oh not wise, too much energy to be wise. But this is energy with wisdom. Just think it over. Some of you won’t catch it, but some of you will. It’s all right. It’s what goes on today.

Now listen.

This pleased God and what pleased God is the covenant of the future Kingdom of the Son reigning and ruling; what God offered him is prospered. In other words, it comes to pass. Now watch.

In other words, you’ve got to trust God for the wisdom of this plan, because it sounds very stupid. Today the plan of God sounds very stupid. It’s very wonderful. The manifestation of it, through the prophet, was absolutely one of utmost grandeur!

In fact, the prophet himself rightly said that Jesus had more success in William Branham than he had in his own body here as a ministry, so therefore the ministry of that One, the Pillar of Fire, Jehovah, was even of greater magnitude in William Branham than it was in the body, the Lamb, that shed the blood for you and me.

Again the people say, “Oh horror.” What are you so horrified at, for land’s sake? Here’s a man that comes on the scene as godly and does the works of God, and you get horrified at that, yet you stand and tolerate the judges that let men loose who rape women. Don’t even pat them on the wrist. Nothing horrifies anybody anymore except righteousness and godliness and a manifestation of God!

Oh that’s a killer right there if you just caught it. It means we’re so spiritually dead, so filthy corrupt, in their bodies and natures. We’ve got time to crucify afresh the Son of God, and take pleasure in filth. Come on; be honest with me this morning. Don’t be pikers and be dishonest.

A perfect picture type of what I’m speaking of is seen in Genesis 22:1-18.

You take the way God dealt with Abraham? This will blow your mind. He said, “Abraham,”( in chapter 12,) get up, leave your people here, go into a land I’m going to show you.”

“Whoo, just a minute now. You’re telling me to go, and I don’t know where I’m going, then I really won’t know when I get there if I’ve got there.” Yeah. Live, or die, sink, or swim. Huh?

Shall we gather at the River? The beautiful, the beautiful River?

Where is it? Where are they? We’ve never seen it. Nobody came back that crossed it. How do you know? How do you know? How do you know that Pillar of Fire and a real prophet? How do you know that’s a real ring of angels? How do you know that Brother Branham knew exactly where he was caught up? I’m not sure, but I think he said that he was caught up just about there.

[Points to the upper right corner of the Cloud.] I’m not positive. “Well you mean Brother Vayle, he had some kind of a vision, or some kind of an imagination.” I didn’t say that. I don’t know what he had. But he sure had what I ain’t got! And what you haven’t got! And nobody else has. That’s right.

He said, “I’m going to show you a mountain which I will tell you of.” What was that song Brother Branham sang? I can’t sing it, maybe you can, all about, he used to sing about Mount Zion. I’m going to tell you about Zion. What about Mount Zion? I’m going to tell you about it. And when you get there, you’ll know it.

And until you get there, you won’t know it. You’ve got to believe it…  Oh, the delight of faith, its substance, but we treat it as mirage. “Offer him up upon the mountain.” On Calvary’s hill they offered him up, and on Zion’s hill they crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords, typing the son. Abraham, he wasn’t going to miss this for a billion dollars

The third day. You won’t begin to see anything of the reality of God, brother/sister, that you and I long for, until the Millennium, starting with the first resurrection. I don’t care how you talk, I don’t care how you slice it, I don’t care what you say or what you think, let me tell you brother/sister, live or die, sink or swim, you have got to commit yourself to something. Or you don’t have to commit yourself to anything. Nobody’s going to make anybody.

We are in a twilight zone of the second day giving away to the third day, two thousand years is passing into the three, since the resurrection. We’re living in the twilight zone of time and eternity mingling, and we believe the report since God made bare His arm, the White Throne is going on now.

Eternity is not within our grasp, but we are within eternity’s grasp, because this is a covenant that has nothing to do with you or me as pertaining to the execution and ministration thereof, we are not pawns, we are beneficiaries. Because this is the everlasting covenant by the blood.

Okay. What is this? Well, Revelation 14:1.

“I looked and lo a Lamb stood on mount Zion.” I’m not so sure this is Calvary’s hill, and if it is, it ends in mount Zion. Because the Lamb is on the throne in the midst thereof. And verse 15:

Now, you’ll notice in here especially, the Angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven, the second time. Now notice, there’s a second time, first of all, offer the sacrifice, give it up. Sacrifice the seed which is the only guarantee you have of any possibility of filling the earth.

Now the Earth at this point, would have had men like Enoch, would have had men like Noah, that would  have been the end of it. It would have been aborted… an impossibility.

So now, we have here, this one who would be able, by his life and through the process and inseminations and so on, beginning to repopulate the earth to bring forth the sons of God, the daughters of God.

Now He said “he’s got to die”. Now. Listen, he didn’t die because the Lamb of God, that Isaac typed, …in thy seed, shall All Nations, be blessed, had to come on the scene and he died.

Now watching, verse… [Genesis 22:16-17]

Now it tells you right there what’s going to happen and that goes plumb to New Jerusalem, where you see a bride as the stars of the heavens and the others, the sand on the seashore, because they’re outside doing the farming to bring their glory in.

Now before we go further, we’re going to note in verse 14:

Now you’ll notice that Abraham, not God! Nope. It was not God Who said, “I am Jehovah.”

It was Abraham said that, “You are Jehovah.”

Now why did he say, “You are Jehovah Provider”? Because he saw the lamb, the ram, which signifies second coming, I believe. He saw the ram, which had to be created, because Jesus’ birth was an act of creation by sperm and egg that God made.

So Abraham, not God, called the great Elohim “Jehovah Jireh”. This is exactly like Peter in Matthew 16, when Jesus said, “Who did they say that I, the Son of man, am?”

And they said, “Yea, while you’re Elijah, you’re Elisha, you’re Moses, you’re this… God knows what… you’re Jeremiah.”

He said, “Who do you say that I am?”

And Peter, having seen the manifestation, he said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God!”

God revealed that to Peter. But God did not tell Peter. Peter told God. And Jesus said, “Flesh and blood hath not revealed it, you never got this from anybody, you never got it from me, you didn’t get it from yourself.” Where did this come from? God in the prophet.

Oh, the tremendous power of the right language, as Brother Branham said, “You’ve got to say the right thing.” That’s right.

This is even to go further, Exodus 6:1-8. We’re going to deal with this separately later on.

Now He is telling them here something. Now here we see that in Genesis 22, and in Matthew 16, the revelation came after the manifestation. Abraham and Peter both recognized God in manifestation and Provider or the provision; it was manifestation and provision, as a Savior. But to Moses, the manifestation did not give him the revelation of Jehovah. Do you follow what I’m saying?

The manifestation, and there were many, did not give Moses, the leader of the Exodus, the prophet responsible for the bringing out, which we have typed today in Babylon, he never received that from the manifestation at that time. God Himself spoke to Moses, and gave him the revelation of His Name, and identified Himself to the Exodus people! Moses had to tell the people.

William Branham speaking on God’s covenant of grace, maybe it’s the Abraham covenant, said when he was out squirrel hunting, I guess it was in August, he saw three rainbows, an arch. And he took off his I think his shoes and his hat, and he began to approach, and he was told to stop, and the Voice said, “Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New.”

Now listen to me, you do what you want! You could be Trinitarian, you could be Twoness, you can be Oneness, you be any stupid thing you want! But the great revelation passed on to the prophet, Moses, who had the sign in the hand, the miracle ministry. William Branham came also with signs and discerning, and great ministries, and God spoke to him!

And as the great revelation in the day of Moses was to know the Name that God chose to reveal Himself by, which was known by revelation to Abraham, based upon his apprehension of the manifestation. Moses and William Branham could only guess, and Paul the apostle could only guess. That’s right. They were given exclusively the revelation of Who Jesus was.

When the Pillar of Fire came to Paul, Paul said, “Who are You, Lord?”

And He said, “I am Jesus. I am Jehovah Savior.” And He’d returned to a Pillar of Fire!

Now listen. The consciousness of the Name is what they had to have to identify themselves with the true and living God! For God identified Himself. Are you following me? Now listen. It was the same in the days of Paul. And William Branham categorically placed himself with Moses and with Paul.

And Paul categorically said this was Jesus, “We don’t know him after the flesh. Yea, though we have known him, henceforth now know we him no more.” And he said in Romans, “He’s the Son of God according to the Spirit of the Resurrection.” He had turned back to being Spirit.

And William Branham came on the scene, and he said the same thing. He said, “The great revelation of this hour is that there’s one God and His Name is Lord Jesus Christ, and you’re baptized in that Name!”

Now if you haven’t got the revelation, I’m going to tell you. You’re not a part of the Exodus. And it’s more important this age than any age, because we’ve been sold a Trinitarian bill of goods by the gods of Egypt! Are you listening?

All right. Now, notice. This is the covenant of grace. Notice, Israel in Egypt. Exodus 6

Now, you understand we’re saying here, comparing that Exodus with this Exodus. Egypt and Babylon. Now Pharaoh positively will be the power of the churches. Brother Branham did not call him ‘Pastor Pharaoh’ for nothing! Pastor Pharaoh, after he had his chipmunks, Jannes and Jambres, anointed with power to perform acts that even Moses could do, in order to deceive them, and the Bible said Jannes and Jambres will return. So we’ve already gone through that. This should begin to help you understand “The Two Vines”, “Anointed Ones At The End Time”, and all those sermons Brother Branham preached.

Now it says, “Listen, Pastor Pharaoh is going to kick you out of the church. He’s going to excommunicate you.” If we haven’t got enough brains to realize how can he who believes all the Word have fellowship with those who believe only a part of it, you’re getting it here. So Pastor Pharaoh is going to boot you out.

Now God Almighty… we’ll go to that a little later on.

Now listen, the establishment of the covenant was based upon vindication! Such vindication of the hour which was 430 years after the original promise of them going into bondage! See? Now listen, 430 years. A hundred years for a generation, roughly, at this particular time. Let’s call it that, give or take a little now.

Okay. Luther, Wesley, Pentecost, number four, deliverance, give or take, who knows. Nobody knows. But there’s going to be something, there’s going to be a people come out now, with the covenant established that this is the time to go in to the land which is covenanted, which Abraham, though possessing, could not possess!

God could not give him a legal contract! Why? Because Adam sold out. There could be no hopes for a legal contract and the deed turned back until the blood had applied and the tenure of Satan had expired. Adam couldn’t walk to the tree at that time, interruption, until the interruption expired.

So therefore this ministry of William Branham is the evidence of the establishment of the covenant, which has hitherto only been spoken! As Jesus said, “Hitherto my Father works, now I’m working!” You understand? Hitherto you have heard about it! Hitherto you have read about it! Here you see it! Okay?

Now listen, they’re strangers to it. You and I could no more go into the Millennium in this condition than nothing. We would just mess it up. You know why? Because it’s going to be the same trees, the same animals, the same birds. We would just mess it up. We’re pilgrims, we’re strangers to it.

Now listen.

Today it is a sighing and crying over sin, because we’re fed up! The land talks justice and there isn’t any! The land talks mercy, and there isn’t any! The land talks hope, and there isn’t any! It talks prosperity and goodness, there isn’t any! All I want is get out of here. I’m live or die, sink or swim. I’ve had it. It helps you to realize what Brother Branham said, “I want to get out of this pest house.”

“Now bring the revelation, I’m Jehovah. I’m Elohim. I’m Elohim with a new Name! Not that it always wasn’t My Name, but I’m manifesting My Name.” He’s says right here, the Pillar of Fire, “I’m telling you Who I am, I’m Jehovah!” But Jehovah is only a further delineation upon Elohim! True.

How’s He going to do it? By the renewing of the mind! By the bringing of repentance. By the restoration of the Word. Because it is your wrong knowledge, which came from Catholicism, three gods, another god, another gospel, another spirit, which is, another Jesus. You’ve got to get back to the Apostle Paul. The same Pillar of Fire has got to teach you and lead you.

In other words, it’s the same arm as in Isaiah 53! The same arm. “I’m going to redeem you.” The Lamb’s Book of Life is opened; the Book of Redemption is open.

Now nobody but a certain people are going to know that at the end time! You see why I keep preaching and teaching all the time, and hammering away, it’s knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, “My people perish from lack of knowledge.” It’s a knowledge of the most High God. It says in Ephesians, that first chapter, that it’s going to be a knowledge! And it’s going to be a Name! And in the Name shall the Gentiles trust!

Then listen, don’t you understand? It was that Name Jehovah that got them in the Exodus. And if you don’t know it’s Jehovah, one God, Elohim, with a Jehovah complex, no way you’re getting out of here. Say, “Well Brother Vayle, I’m going to be a finer Christian.” Drop dead. I can get a whole lot nice than any or all of you put together, myself, I’m the worst of the works.

I’m not talking as running you down. Christian Science produces more love. What kind of love? Amish will produce more works, what kind of works? Pbbt. Stinking self-righteous pride, that’s all it is. Little funny hats and think that’s God? They invented God. I can sneer more than they can sneer, don’t worry. I’ve been all through this hogwash, and I hate it with a passion I don’t understand.

If I could be as pure in my life as I am in my anger and resentments at this stuff that blasphemes the Name of Jesus, you’d see the most perfect man ever standing before you outside of prophet William Branham. He had what I didn’t have. But I can seethe and boil about these things. I don’t have the life that lives up to it, and I’m not much worried, because I’ve got a revelation.

If that doesn’t take care of me, nothing’s going to take care of me, because it says, “If Abraham’s got something to boast of, that’s fine, but not before God.” And David learned blessed is the man, not who does not commit iniquity, but who does commit iniquity and God doesn’t impute it to him.

The loads that the church placed upon us, from which we got our guilt complexes, and our inability to have true faith, the dogma’s, the creeds are worse than the washing… actually I’m going to tell you something. If I was going to have my choice to be born, I would sooner be born a Jew and wash a few pots and pans! Say, “I did it!”

The blood of Christ does greater, and we can’t say, “That did it!” They had a day of atonement, an oath of revocation. It was a revocation day! And they’d go to the temples crying to God, praying, and saying, “O God, I know we’ve sacrificed the lamb, I know we’ve offered and are cleared it, but God, we see next year we’ll be back in the same old mess.”

Do you think we’ve changed? Do you think you’re so holy you don’t have an evil thought or a wrong thought or a wrong action? I’m going to tell you something brother/sister; we need God. And we need the sacrifice, we need everything God did for us, and we’re relying on it, because we’re trying to rely on ourselves, it isn’t going to work. It’s live or die, sink or swim, this is it or forget it. You do what you want, I can only preach the truth as I see it; maybe I don’t see it right.

Now just a minute. Just a minute. I have, from what I’ve been teaching this morning, an understanding that there was a covenant that preceded this that says, “Son, you are going to have it all and boss everybody under you.”

So how are they going to get it? As it was in the time of Joshua, taking the command, only the Word of God in his mouth, and the Pillar of Fire, they walked in and took over. So we see here, that God is going to give this to the Son, but we become benefits, joint heirs, beneficiaries.

Now notice, they could not seem to get the drift and the picture. They had a very, very hard time because they were anguished in spirit. You know, brother/sister, that’s a sin against God, an anguish of spirit, except we hate sin. We want to get out of here.

This is the same thing I preached at Brother Slabach’s funeral. For a people in this hour to weep for Brother Slabach, and “Hope somewhere down in the resurrection, who knows, a hundred years, if he’s seed we’ll see him.” That is a lie from the pit of hell. Brother Slabach could walk through those doors in the next year, or something wrong with our believing.

Something radically wrong, because the same One that brought a Message, the same One that put the church in order, which signifies they without us cannot be made perfect, we coming to that place of perfection, will positively see the dead in this generation come back on this earth, or there’s something wrong somewhere!

And all I can say is this, something beyond this, William Branham, the prophet of God, the Pillar of Fire and the manifestation we saw, if there’s something beyond it, and this is not right, I can say one thing: “Well didn’t we see a tremendous thing anyway? Though I won’t be here to see something else, it sure must be a good one.” Well I don’t believe that for one minute. No.

Now,

Now listen, there is no way to get this that we need down in Egypt. We have to come out of Babylon, as we notice in Exodus. Hey, just a minute, let me go back to Exodus 12:12.

In the ministry of the Son of man, William Branham preached judgment! “I indict this generation,” and he said, “Baptist, Methodist, witchcraft!” And the Catholic Church is full of it! Go to Mexico! Go to Peru! Go to Chile! Go to Haiti! Go to any island you want and check if they’ve got a true Catholic religion. Hogwash!

Even the priests deal in black magic. Get the book called ‘The Magic Isle’ by Seabrook! And the Protestants aren’t a bit different, they all run to the first despicable astrologer or necromancer or spiritist they come to.

Now notice, He said, “I am coming against all the gods of Egypt. I’m going to execute judgment.” When? When He shall have come to be glorified in His saints. The revelation based upon manifestation, the teaching of the prophet, the days of the Son of man, that very time, it’s all over.

Why do you think Brother Branham stood there, and said, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, I take every spirit in this building under my control for the glory of Almighty God.” And he did it! Was not a spirit could stand against him. Even that depraved man, spitting, huge guy, broke up every meeting out there in… what was it?… Seattle, Portland, Oregon? Portland, I guess it was. He said, “You challenge the servant of God. In the Name of the most high God, I command you to fall across my feet.”

And the guy waved like a snake and fell right over Brother Branham’s feet, not even touching, I think, his knees or any part of him, just over the feet. They had to pull him off so Brother Branham get liberated. Then he walked out of the building cowering and in fear, and from that time on nobody ever heard him, but he broke up every meeting in the country.

I want to ask you a reason. Why did Brother Branham quit those judgmental demonstrations? You know why? Have you ever heard it on tape? I’m going to tell you why, because you didn’t hear it on tape. I said, “Brother Branham, how come you didn’t keep it up?”

He said, “Because Lee, it made the people angry.”

He exposed sin in a Jesus Only preacher, who was on the platform, and when the people heard it, they did not welcome the judging power of God cleansing the temple, they got mad and repudiated Brother Branham! The gods of Babylon have been judged. Lying Pentecostals who say they’re not a part of it!

Did you see the film? How many saw the film? [“Blow The Trumpet In Zion”, New Orleans, 1987.] Eye opener, wasn’t it? There you are. And they try to tell you they don’t belong to the World Council of Churches.

I want to tell you something. If you see me going every day to the pool hall, I don’t have to belong to the pool hall club, I go to the pool hall, I’m a part of it. Let me go to Revelation. How much time we got? Five minutes? That’s all I need, good. Five minutes and sixteen more hours.

Revelation 2:18

Ha ha! A false prophetess with false gods, anointed by the devil. You say the Catholic Church not anointed by the devil? You don’t even know what you’re talking about. You say the Presbyterians aren’t? You don’t know what you’re talking about.

And that searching the reins and hearts is Hebrews 4:12, “The Word of God is sharp and powerful, and a discerner,” and there it was right there. She’s ready for the tribulation.

Revelation 18:1-4, I’ve got to get through in the five minutes.

And so Gorbachev goes to see the Pope. And Bush goes to see the Pope. And even Golda Meier went to see the Pope. Ha! Good joke on that slob. Nice lady, but a slob, in that respect. The Pope insulted her. She went away mad, spitting tacks. And now, the Carmelite monks won’t give the Jews the place at Auschwitz, which they should have.

The big [Polish Cardinal Jozef] Glemp and Poinchavitz, whatever that guy’s name is, Glemp and whatever they are. Sneer at the Jews. And the Pope, a Pole, stands back and grins. Because he can’t wait to kill the Jews. If you have Catholic roots, and you still got a taint on you, brother/sister, get it out of your system now before it’s too late.

Revelation 9:20-21.

Now listen, that tells you, nominal Christianity plus all of heathenism is dead! And the wrath of God comes upon them, Brother Branham said, and he believed in the Oath of the Knights of Columbus. He said, “I would sooner have the Knights of Columbus Oath perpetrated on me than five minutes in the tribulation.”

Come out of her my people. Well, two pages. Come out of her. But of above all, make sure she comes out you! You sing a little chorus here: “Thou art my God, and I will praise Thee.” That’s a picture of Him. “My Name Jehovah.” People wonder why this church goes back to the Psalms, we sing verses here, a lot of other churches pick them up, but we sing them, why? We know our roots.

You know what? Hah, the jackass brays, goes, “Hee-haw, hee-haw.” And the horse whinny’s, “Weenee.” And the chicken goes, “Cluck, cluck, cluck.” They know their roots! They express what’s in their roots. But the seed of God expresses what’s in his roots. It’s a new song. It’s a different story. Same old God, don’t ever think He ever changed.

He never had a new revelation, didn’t have a new thought, didn’t have a new idea, doesn’t have a new way, it’s just that He takes time once in a while to remind us. Let’s remember we’ve been reminded of God. Let’s rise to be dismissed.

Heavenly Father, we want to thank You again for Your goodness and mercy to us, Your greatness O God, Your love and Your kindness. And we admit, Lord, that we are very, very much enamored with and thrilled by Your Word, knowing one day, like Abraham, and God, I wish we would have his perseverance and his integrity and his love of discipline that You put him through, Lord, as well as others, Jacob, who in the face of his brother coming to perhaps destroy him, he knelt down and began to thank You for all the blessings that You’d bestowed upon him, and then he took a little time to say, “Now Lord, if You could, if You would, I’d like to be saved from this,” and then he wrestling more, coming forth with the power of God in his life.

Lord maybe today, Lord, we are the same and we’re resting by way of our minds because we want our minds tuned up with what the prophet said is THUS SAITH THE LORD. And we see here, this great covenant, all these great covenants, that great things, Lord. And we thank You that we believe by faith because we fit into the mold, that we are your children, we are your seed. We are a generation here, joining all others, which are seed, the former generation, with the King of Glory, leading in the great, triumphant, march, and we praise Him, as we ought to.

Lord God, we know that we don’t have tongues that could even begin to praise you right, to speak the things of God, but I know it doesn’t hurt us for trying. Because you told us in your own Word that you’re listening for those who speak and talk in a certain way, and a Book of Remembrance is being written.

O God, how nice it is to know, the remembrance is not something that we have against us, the deeds and things that we do or do not, but the power of speech, to just say what the prophet said, to stand for it. Even though we’re in a position, like Israel, live or die sink or swim, which is exactly what it was, as they stood by the Red Sea. And if they had stayed on the Egyptian side they would have been killed by the army. To plunge in the water, they could sink or they could swim. But it was, live or die, sink or swim, but you opened the Red Sea and they walked over on dry land, they walked over on dry land.

One day, Lord. there’s going to be a people standing here, will walk, right on. I might not be one of those standing here, but by Your Grace Lord and I can come out of the ground, if I’m down in.

That’s Your promise to all of us this morning, as we see these great things unfold before us the great and magnificent covenant, the wondrous, wondrous covenant, Lord, from before the foundation of the earth. Starting to see it’s going to form until now at this End Time, it is about to be formed into the last of immortality, as we know a Bride, for even the 144 000 will not be Bride, they are virgins, they are those keepers as it where, as Brother Branham said, of the Bride.

We thank you for it all Lord, whatever position you put us in. Whatever grace, Father, that You have measured out to us, whatever measure of faith, we thank You this morning, Lord. We thank you for everything. We thank you Lord we know that by Your Grace. There is nothing impossible because you are with us in this hour. Now unto the King Eternal Immortal invisible, The only wise God, be all honor power and glory through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

The Lord bless you, take the Name of Jesus…
