The Judge *

Transcript In progress.

Audio is available now.

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father we’re grateful to be in Your Presence again. Knowing that this is the last hour in which we live. Earth’s history passing away, all things going with it.

And, we cannot say that we regret it. There might be those who do, that’s all right, but they do not know any better.

But, Lord, we are happy that we have been brought, to the knowledge of Yourself, and, Your true kingdom, and the revelation Lord, before us. In Your Presence mightily in our midst.

And we’re thankful, that the day is approaching when, there’ll be coming a time, there’ll be no sin on the earth. There’ll be no people that will be vulnerable, but will be here in Your glorious image. And, we thank You for that.

Now Lord, may we know more be about that wonderful time in which we live in Your gracious Presence, in Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Now, the message of course is referring to the fact of the Judge, and the sub title is ‘The Day of the Lord’.

We’re going to view the Day of the Lord, and I’ll be reading from the ‘Patmos Vision’ again. Just various portions, such as Page 95 Par 131-132.

[25-131] Now, John was transmitted from the Isle of Patmos in the Spirit, over into the Lords Day. This is the day of man, men are fighting. But, the Day of the Lord, will come when these kingdoms will become the kingdom of our Lord, and His Christ. Then there will be the great Millennium, the Lord’s Day. The day of His coming, His Judgement. That’ll be the Lord’s Day.

[25-132] This is the day of man, that’s [the reason] they slam you around, and do what they want with you. But there’ll be a time,… they now call you “holy roller” and fanatic. But there’ll be a time come, see, that they won’t do that.

They’ll scream and wail and fall at your feet, the Bible said in Malachi 4: You’ll even walk out on the ashes after they’re burnt up leaving neither root nor branch. That’s exactly what the Bible says, “The righteous shall walk upon the ashes of the wicked.” That’s exactly. They’ll not be left root or branch,…

Nothing to come back to, [and they’ll be done]. This is a man’s day. Man’s doings. Man’s works. Man’s church. Man’s idea but the day of the Lord is coming.

Page 97 at the bottom, maybe not quite bottom.

[27-143] “In the Spirit on the Lord’s Day” Now we hear it. Now what? And what was he [doing]? He was transferred from the isle now, in the Spirit, over to the Lord’s day. As soon as he got over to the Lord’s day, he heard a trumpet. What is it? It’s Somebody approaching.

A Great One approaching. Trumpet sounds, Somebody’s coming. He looked,… “saying I’m Alpha and Omega, the first and the last”… [Not the announcement of the second party, or the third party, but the only party.] “I’m both Alpha and Omega; before I show you anything, I want to let you know Who I Am…”

The greatest of all revelations is the Deity, the Supreme Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. You can’t get to first base until you believe that, walk out… That’s what Peter said, “Repent, and then see the Deity.” Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and then you’re ready to go in the Spirit.”

The first thing you have to know is the Deity of Jesus Christ. “I Am Alpha and Omega. I’m from A to Z; There’s no more but me. I was at the beginning; I’ll be at the end. I Am He that was, which is, and shall come, the Almighty.” Think of it. That’s what the trumpet said.

[27-145]  Be careful John. You’ve entered into the Spirit. Something’s going to be revealed to you. What is it? A trumpet sound, the first thing, “I Am Alpha and Omega.” The first of all revelations. [Oh sinner, bow, repent now before the time’s too late.]

“I Am Alpha and Omega.” That’s the first thing He lets him know who He was. [Who’s this approaching? Is this King Jesus? King God? King Holy Ghost?] He said, I’m all of it. I’m from A to Z. I’m the Beginning and the Ending. I’m the Immortal, Eternal One.”

And then Page 102 Par 167.

[32-167]  Now, let’s watch Him just a little further, as we take the rest of this 13th verse.

“And in the midst… [that’s the middle] …of the golden candlesticks one like… the Son of man clothed, with a garment down to the foot, girded about the paps with a golden girdle.”

Now here’s more proof that this doctrine is right about being the Lord’s day. Did you notice Him? He was not a priest during this time; neither was He a king. He was a Judge.

Notice, a priest, a high priest, when he went into the sanctuary to minister, to service, he tied himself around the waist, meant that he was serving: never tied it over his shoulder.

But here He comes out, walking out with the girdle tied around the top, with a sash over His shoulder, girded about the paps, the breast, with a golden girdle, girded up high. What was it? An attorney, a judge.

The judge with his sash over his shoulder, girded up here, not down as a priest. See, that shows He wasn’t in His priesthood now. John went all the way over into the Lord’s day and saw Him coming as the Judge.

[32-169] You believe He’s a Judge? Let’s read Saint John 5:22, right quick, we’ll see if He’s Judge or not.

Saint John 5:22. “For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgement unto the Son:”

That right? He is the Judge, the Supreme Judge. And John shows that He wasn’t in the day of His prophecy, as a prophet, neither was He plumb out of the days of His kingship, but He was in the day of the Lord as a Judge.

Now, how many knows that the priest having his girdle, his string around his waistline, meant he was in service? Anyone who reads the Testament, the Old Testament knows that.

When a priest is girded around here, he’s in service; he’s a servant. But He was girded up here, of course he points up here, a Judge.

[32-171]  Let’s read a little further… “…a golden girdle was about the paps.”

That’s right up around here, He was the Judge.

Page 105 Par 180-181

[34 180]  All right. Now Daniel 7:9.

“And I beheld until the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garments was white as snow, and the hair of his head… like pure wool… (Ancient of Days) …his throne was like a fiery flame, and his wheels were burning fire.

And fiery—fiery streams issued and came forth from before him: and thousands… thousands ministered unto him: and ten… thousands stood before him: and judgement was set and the books were open.”

“White hair…” All… Anybody knows that’s the old judges in ancient days, like English judges used to wear a snow white wig. How many remembers that? Old ancient judges wore a white wig because they was…

And here he is showing again that John’s over in the Lord’s day. He saw him as the Judge [Amen], not as Priest, not as King, not as Prophet, but as Judge. The Father Saint John 5:22 committed all judgement to Him.

And He’s Judge now, come to judge all the nations. Oh for that day when you see Him like that. His hair as white as snow; Daniel saw Him coming to the Ancient of days. Watch him blend these two things together. All right.

[34 182]  …and the judgement was set, and the books were opened. “And I beheld them because …And I beheld then because of the voice of the great-great words which (were the voice from that) the horn…”

Page 121 Par 256

[49 256] All right “the Sun of righteousness with healing in his wings…” Now His countenances. He was a Judge or another thing to show he was over to the Lord’s day. You believe that?

He went over into the Lord’s day, and saw the Lord as Judge, not as priest, not as king, but as judge. Don’t you believe that? The Bible says He’s the Judge.

And here he’s all dressed as the Judge, showing what He had done, what He was, and what He was to the sinner, what He was to the Christian. And here He stands now with the voice of many waters, and His countenances were as the sun shining in His strength.

Page 122 Par 260

[50 260]  Don’t get scared. Why should we fear? Why would the church fail to keep His-to think of His Word? Let’s stop here just for a minute, ’cause we’re closing. Why would this church ever fear? What has He ever promised that He hasn’t manifested before us?

Why would you fear a punishment or a hereafter, “Fear not, I am He that was, He that is, and will come. I’m the First and the Last. I have the keys of hell and death right here.” Why?

“I’ve overcome both hell and death. (That’s both grave and hades; death itself and hades itself) for you. I’ve overcome it all. I overcome hell, death, grave.”

And 124 Par 269

[52 269]  Oh, it’s breathtaking friend. See Him standing there in the supreme—the supremity of His Deity. He’s the Judge, the Priest, the King, the Eagle, the Lamb, the Lion, the Alpha, the Omega, the Father, Son, Holy Ghost; He that was, which is and shall come.

[That’s in His incarnation] Tread out the winepress of the fierceness of God, and pleased everything, until God said at the cross… When He raised up, He said, “It’s finished.” Pleased God so, till the Spirit that left Him, come back on Easter morning, and picked Him up and raised Him again for our justification.

There John looked up and saw Him standing there with feet of brass, eyes as flames of fire running to and fro throughout the earth. Daniel saw Him seven hundred years before that, in the same position, the same kind, same Man standing there, the Ancient of days, the One like the Son of man that joined with Him, and all judgement was committed to Him, stand at the White Throne Judgement.

All right. From what we have just read, I would not hesitate to say that this revelation of the Judge, being in the midst of the Bride, is projected to the consummation of the world systems, due to the Seventh Seal.

But, once closed the book, but, now open. Reveal the glorious person of the incarnated God. Not as Prophet, not as Priest, not yet as King on earth, but, Judge.

Now, what I’m saying here is simply, that the opening of the Seventh Seal, the revelation of the end time, is what would be required, to present Him to us, in the position and authority of Judge.

And, it’s a transition or expediting office of the Judge that we behold, in the Day of the Lord, because, this is the Day of the Lord.

And, He is Judge. And, it’s really an expediting office, at that particular time. Which will continue that same office continue, later on, after the Millennium, at the White Throne Judgement.

So from Prophet to King, requires the Judge. From Prophet to King, requires the Judge.

Notice, the Bible chronology, starts with the prophet Moses, then goes into judges, then goes into king. Moses, judges, king. You’ve come to the first five books of the Bible, the ‘Pentateuch’ then to the Joshua, Judges, and then into Kings.

Now, thus Brother Branham said, “Prophet, Judge, King.” but he also said, “Priest, Judge, King.”

So what you’re looking at there, is the coming up of the two great offices, which were separated, will be coming together. Priest, Judge, King. Prophet, Judge, King.

The incarnation will take place manifesting Him, in that great position, as Judge. So thus we have Elohim, Logos, Pillar of Fire, dis-incarnated from His body of flesh.

And, is here as Prophet, before the destruction as in Abraham’s day, which preceded the Day of the Lord, upon Sodom. Now, what we’re talking about, is the Son of man repeating. The Son of man is not here incarnated, but, dis-incarnated.

What we have is as when Elohim came down and appeared before Abraham, giving him, the understanding of the hour. That preceded when God turned His back, and went down towards Sodom, that would be the Day of the Lord in Judgement.

We’re talking in types and figures. Now, that would be speaking in terms of prophet, judge, king. But, he also said, priest, judge, king.

And, that is not Elohim dis-incarnated, but, is the Lamb. Now, let’s just begin to take a look at this so we’ll understand perfectly, what we’re talking about.

In the book of Revelation, chapter 5: And, you’ll notice, that each time that Brother Branham mentioned, Alpha and Omega, that which was, and is to come. I’m all of it, every bit of it.

He never did say which was dead and is alive. Because, that’s the flesh. Where God constituted Himself, in a body, the nature of man, not of angels, not of pillars of fire and so on.

You notice, he never said, that. Only a man under inspiration, could preach in that order, and not boo-boo.

Revelation 5:

That One is in,

Then notice chapter 5.

Now remember, they’re looking for a man. But what you see here, you see literally, One on the throne, and One behind the throne, the One behind the throne is the priest. The One on the throne is Elohim.

And He will assume the role of the Great Prophet, which He always was. And, He will come down previous, to the incarnation where Prophet goes into Judge.

And, making the way so that Priest goes into Judge. Which will be at the incarnation, when that Spirit that’s in the midst of us, goes up and incarnates Himself. All right.

So, after the hour of Elohim, Logos, Pillar of Fire, that’s all in the realm of the Spirit. Outside the incarnation of the body or His incarnation. When that is finished as Prophet, He incarnates Himself as Judge. And then, on to King. You see? All right.

Quote number one;

The Called Out 58-01-09

[24]  The Son of man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them His great Presence,… revealing Himself like He did to Abraham before the destruction, He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the church. The next time He reveals Himself, it’ll be in judgement [there’s the Judge] on the world and the nations that’s forgot God... [that lines up with Genesis 18: perfectly.]

Number two quote;

The Breach 63-0317E

[41]  …when the Seals are broke[n] and the mystery is revealed, down comes the Angel, the Messenger, Christ, setting His foot upon the land and… sea with a rainbow over His head. Now remember, the seventh angel is on earth at the time of this coming.

At that coming, not the other coming. Wherein that’s Revelation 19: Now, there’s a lot of misunderstanding here, and there’s going to be lots of pain for misunderstanding this.

I’m going to tell you something, I’m sticking my neck out. If we are right, we’ll be missing when the great tribulation takes place.

If I am wrong, and you believe me, and you’re wrong with me, we will be here, and we will not die the death common to men. Let’s understand this, we’re serious.

We’re not playing a game like some of these birds running around, are playing games. They’re shooting their mouths off.

I want you to be very serious with me. If we are right, they will be here and will not die the death common to men.

You say, “What happens then, if He doesn’t come for some time, and we’re gone?”

That obviates the whole thing, but you better believe that, someone’s going to be here. So, we’re not playing games like some people play games.

I’m counting on Him being here. I’m counting on it, that this is not a yo-yo experience. Like a bunch of fool hearty, latter rainers, who don’t know if they’re in or out, or upside down, or between.

Quote number three;

First Seal, The 63-03-18

[302]  [Now] when this Holy Spirit that we have, becomes incarnated to us, [that’s in our midst] the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy [Spirit], becomes incarnated to us…

Now the Holy Spirit that we have is already incarnated, He’s incarnated in us. The baptism with the Holy Ghost, he is not talking about that.

This is something that you personally do not get. The Prophet can, and does. How much? Don’t ask me. I’m not a prophet and I’m not God, I don’t answer all questions. But, God was in the prophets, that’s enough for me. How much? Ask God.

[302]  [Now], when this Holy Spirit that we have, becomes incarnated to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnated to us in the Person of Jesus Christ, we’ll crown Him King of kings…

That’s Revelation 19: right? All right.

Now then, we read,

What if that was actually, the One you see here now going to the… with the book open?

What clouds? Glory. Coming more and more, into His Church. Coming more and more to take over. Brought near. Opening the Seals. Climbing on the Throne.

Let your minds go for a change. Listen to what the prophet said, and put it together. The two aspects. One coming to the incarnation, one thoroughly in the incarnation.

Revelation 20:

All right. We again note very carefully.

Daniel 7:

Revelation 20: again notice, verse 12. Well, let’s read 11-13;

Now, go back to,

So, He could not fulfill the rest of It, that is found over here in Isaiah 61: where that is taken from. Where It says;

They haven’t got any false Word, they’re not over there, in,

They are known of their fruit. The trees that the Lord planted, and He planted good seed. That’s nice isn’t it?

That day. That day of separation. Are you glad you’re separated? Fellow made an ass of himself the other day. Went down to see some friends of mine that believe in the Message, as we teach it.

And, he was a stuffing and a stewing that I had said that this Message separates. Quoting from the prophet in Matthew 24, said this boy went down there, and calling this a cult, and putting in the same category as doctrines that are outside the Word of God.

Like a little old school boy in knee pants, tutored by a Pentecostal preacher, he said, “This Message does not separate, that’s the Rapture.”

So they turned to ‘Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed’ and showed him that Brother Branham said, “This Message separates. Two in a field one taken, one left.”

If you’re not separated, when are you going to be separated? “Come out of her my people” Do you want to go to go to hell with her? Evidently a lot of people do, a lot of preachers’ want people to go to hell with them.

Closed book. The Prophet God, closed the book, and, It stays closed until the Prophet God, reveals the judge by proclamation, and confrontation. As He did reveal the Messiah’s arrival. There was confrontation.

When Messiah came in flesh, there was revelation, because the Book was open. Which showed, what Scripture was in effect. Takes the same process today.

Thus, the Judge and King, cannot be revealed and thereby become functional, until the Book that was sealed is open.

Because He had to maintain, retain and maintain, His office of the acceptable year. Then the proclamation, the confrontation, would be the day of the vengeance of our God, the day of the Lord, wherein He is Judge.

So now you see why I said in my opening statement, what I did say.

That the One who is Judge and King, in essence and essential fact, is standing in the midst of the Bride, as the great light and life giver, and has always been that through seven church ages.

But, now by revelation, is seen at the end time as Judge. Ready to be crowned King. And cannot be so, until the Seals are open. Because, the Book was shut.

And, He was still the Lamb that opened the Book but, when the Book was opened, the proclamation could be ‘This is the day of vengeance.’ The role is changing.

Now, to make that very clear, we repeat. Prophet, Judge, King… Prophet, Judge, King. John 5:22,27. Here’s the authority himself, and he ought to know.

Now, He’s King. “Bring [them before me that I might] slay them.”

You’ve got a weak stomach? I’ll bring you what the prophet said on this subject. He was shouting “Hallelujah“ to think the world’s going to go up in smoke. And he was going to get out of here.

I’m not trying to make you vicious. God forbid. I’d like to be much more tender and dutiful to, all these things myself. But, get this flat. God, doesn’t have a weak stomach. Except to puke over people, that got weak stomachs. Can’t take strong Word.

Has given Him authority, as the executor of the Word. Decision, and the prosecution enforcement of decision. Because, He is the Son of man. Prophet, Judge, King,… Priest, Judge, King.

Makes Him eminently, perfectly, infinitely, qualified. Today, as it was yesterday, Prophet or Son of man, precedes the Judge. So now, Luke 17: 20-30 is Prophet preceding Judge, when the Shout is over.

Then was He the man the Pharisees, “When the kingdom of God should come?”

He said, “The kingdom of God cometh, not with observation.”

Neither shall they say, “Here it is, there it is.” It’s in the midst of you, right under your noses. All depends whether you can see it or not.

Brother Branham talked of the ole’ little boy who said “Mother, can a man see God?”

She said, “Well son, I don’t know that I’m too qualified, ask your Sunday School teacher.” Likely was a woman, Sunday School teacher, the poor kid was involved with.

Said the Sunday School teacher, and she said, “I don’t know son, you’d better ask the pastor.” And he wasn’t too much more qualified either. Because, he’d likely just been to seminary.

“Well,” he said, and he hummed and he hawed. He sort of figured a little this way, and a little that way. And, the poor kid, was no better off except that he’s more soundly confused.

One day he was out fishing with an old fisherman. That really loved, and knew God with all his heart. Little squall come up. They fished in the drenching rain, but, pretty soon the sun burst forth. Rainbow was in the skies.

And, the old man began to cry. The boy kind of hung on to the old man and he said, “Can a person see God?

He says, “Son, that’s all I’ve ever seen for the last fifty years.” If you can’t see Him Present, that’s not my fault, that’s yours. I’m sorry for you. I didn’t make… I’m not responsible for you.

All I say is “He’s here.” You can see Him, and you can know Him, if you just want Him.

And He said, “The day will come when you’ll desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you’ll not see Him.”

And, they’ll say, “Go here, and go there. Look here, look there.”

He said, “Don’t you believe it. How many ever ran to see the sun come up? Well why not, you cotton-picking bunch of idiots? I’m ashamed, I’m surprised that you don’t run and see the sun come up. Run, run, run.”

You don’t have to run anywhere, the sun comes up and you stand there and its rays shine upon you. So it is with the Son that rose from the east came to the west. Not a one of us expected it, but we knew, the Son would appear somehow. It’d be light at evening time.

Something had to happen. And so, we didn’t have to run anywhere. I didn’t have to go anywhere.

Brother Branham came to Canada, that’s about as far west as you can get. That’s right the west coast. We went to see him in Vancouver.

When I saw him, I saw God. I wasn’t looking at a man. William Branham didn’t impress me.

Nice fellow, sure. I wish I was half as nice. I’m going to tell you something: the only reason he was nice, was, because there’s a nice God. He was born in sin, shaped in iniquity, came into the world speaking lies like anybody else.

The only thing he said to his credit was, “I didn’t commit adultery.” How much can a fifteen year old boy do in the realm of adultery? He’s not handling, he’s not ready for it. He didn’t have much for a testimony. Come on, let’s be honest.

He didn’t have any testimony. Anymore than you or anybody else had. But, when he stood there, I saw God. Because, I wasn’t looking for a man.

Not that he was God, but He was God to the people. And that Word was in him, you better believe it. Otherwise, how could he read those hearts? Search those hearts and know.

“The day is coming you’ll desire to seek Him. Don’t go here, don’t go there. But, as light comes out of the east and shines to the west, so He’ll be.”

But listen. It said, “Before that day come, He’s got to have this day fulfilled. He’ll be rejected. But, there’s another day, and the day of the Son of man again, God His own prophet will be like it was in the days of Noah.” Which days are now before destruction.

So therefore you see, Prophet, Judge, King.

Now,

They said, “When’s that?”

He said, “That’s at the Rapture.”

The separation is going on now. Who is the One who makes the decision, who’s going to be taken? Tell me. Nobody but a Judge. Based on what? Authoritative Word. See? Can’t get away from it.

All right. That takes us to,

“And, I’m sitting here to hand out rewards. To give penalties, if necessary. I’m here to adjudicate. I’ve made a pronouncement. I passed the judgement. Seals are off the book. The day of the vengeance of our God, and to comfort those that mourn.”

No judgement, no comfort. Take your pick. Oh, I know it scares you. Oh, I’ve got to be nice. Remember years ago, when it came out in the paper that President Eisenhower had made a plan whereby, if the ‘Reds’ came over, and they were too tough for us.

We had a plan laid out, where we would submit, and Steve Allen, and the rest of them got their necks in a sling because they said, “Better red than dead.” Huh? Then pretty soon it said, “Better him, than me.”

Oh, come on. Oh, I’m too nice. Huh? When the chips are down how nice are you? Oh, you’re all so nice sitting here. I’m not be-ragging you, I’m just bringing this out, as you know too well, the way I teach.

I’m ironical, I am satirical for the very purpose of bringing it out. Oh you’re so lovely. But, let somebody get a million dollars. And aren’t you just a little bit covetous? Oh, you dirty bunch of dogs, this morning!

Sitting here before me, I just sort of fixed you good, but didn’t I! I got the skewer into you! That’s what Paul said, “I had not known sin, except the law said, ‘Thou shalt not covet’”

I can’t hate the thought of God’s judgement. That’s the only way I’m going to get out of here. The sooner I’m going to get out, then I’m sorry. Sure. I’m not gloating.

I’m just telling you, we’ve got to accept certain things. If you don’t accept them, you’re nicer that God. You don’t believe the Word. I’m not trying to make you blood thirsty. I’m only trying to help you.

Some of you people, are so nice and sweet here, I love you for it. And, you won’t get me wrong, because you are good people. You are born again, you have the Spirit of Christ in you. You will not get me wrong.

There’ll be those that hear this message on tape, will tear it to shreds like they did down in [blanked out portion of audio] because he doesn’t understand what I’m saying. He preaches messages that are going to bring to adultery.

And, God knows what. But, that’s all right, because adultery I guess is a lot of fun. And, burning isn’t. But, I’ve got news for you. Those who do commit adultery will burn. You do what you want.

I’ve taken the gloves off. I don’t have any apologies anymore, in fact, I’ll let the tapes go just the way they are, I’m not going to edit any of them. Why should I?

The Book is unsealed. The day of the vengeance of our God. Yeah. Moses one day stood before God, and he said, “Lord, if You kill them, (he said) kill me too.”

But, one day the false anointed rose up. Huh? The contra distinction between the truth and error. And, Moses wasn’t sweet anymore. Because, God was in Moses.

The Word in Moses said, “If they die a common death,” he said, “Common to men, then I never had anything.”

And God said, “Amen, Moses step back.”

And, Moses stepped back, and fire came out and destroyed, but, didn’t destroy the sensors of those men. The gifts were genuine. And, there was a genuine service, but, they were phonies, and they died. Judge.

He said, “My reward is with Me… according to works.

Oh that scares you, because, “Oh, I haven’t done enough… I haven’t prayed enough.” There’s nobody that has prayed enough. What are you trying to tell me?

And, I haven’t done enough alms. And when you did, you gave them in a wrong place and a wrong way. So that took care of you, didn’t it? You really skunked up, didn’t you? Oh, you haven’t got enough works.

“This is the message you heard from the beginning, we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works, his deeds were evil.”

So maybe your works aren’t feeding the poor. After all, that goes without saying. And, maybe your works aren’t going out there, and preaching to sinners, though that goes without saying.

And, maybe your works aren’t this and that. But, are your works in tune with the Word? The revelation. Wherefore slew he his brother? Because his deeds were evil.

And I’m going to come and judge between those who are worshipping. Because it’s a church He’s talking about.

Where do you stand with revealed Word? How do you know if it hasn’t been revealed unto you?

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, I’m all of it. Blessed are they that wash their robes, they got the right to the tree of life, they’ll enter in through the gates into the city. But, without are male prostitutes.”

Never seen a day like the type we’ve got today, male prostitutes. San Francisco is being run by a bunch of filth out there. Absolute, unmitigated filth, male prostitutes. How would you like to be the recipient of some male’s love? You males?

My God, makes you puke. Dirty, rotten filth. Don’t think that they don’t know better. They do. And, just start likening that to preachers. Filth of the universe.

Then you tell me, God won’t destroy this Sodom and Gomorrah condition? Why, that was one little pocket. Two little pockets. This, is worldwide.

The Judge of a little tiny elect group, the Judge of a few people on the plains, came down and said, “I’m going to just burn them to a crisp.” Now, it’s worldwide. “Whoremongers and murderers, Cain, see? Idolaters who loves and makes a lie.

You know something? What is a lie? A lie does not stand by itself, my brother/sister. Neither does it have a Source. No, no, no. A lie has never had a true Source. It is the truth corrupted. Where is it corrupt today? Back in Pentecost, as never before.

“I Jesus have sent mine angels, mine angel to testify you these things, the churches. I Am is now incarnated, and He’s the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Even the Spirit and the bride say, come.

Come where? Come to the opening of the Seals. Come stand before the Prophet/Judge. Come stand, and view the Kingdom. There’s where life is. Death is every place else. No place else can you find it.

Thus we see, a repeat of Genesis 18: as in Abraham’s day. Elohim, Messenger, Prophet, Judge, separating and dividing the elect from the non-elect. And, judgement unto condemnation, falling on the earth.

All right, you don’t know this, so I’m going to tell you, this long dissertation, of over thirty minutes. Is it?

Preface number one, now comes preface number two. Over a year ago, I brought out what I felt to be keys in the understanding of the Scripture.

Number one, of which was the principle of the Alpha and Omega. So it’s very easy to understand It. If you can see something going on today, that was going on way at the beginning.

You say, “That’s it. It’s all over. That’s God.” You can place yourself.

Another one was what the Bible was written for this hour. Especially the New Testament. Don’t you dare read it any other way. or you’ll blow it. See?

Why? Because It’s restored Word. All of It’s been restored. And Israel, has only got three and a half years. So, cool it.

That’s where one of the master adulterers of all time in this Message, the great German professor. That’s all it was… was a profession. He denounced the prophet, because, he could read the Bible himself, and this looked great.

Why, this is to Israel… [blank spot on tape] Three and a half years to go is all Israel’s got. God dealing with them. They’re just sitting there now, like sitting ducks.

“Oh, Brother Vayle, seven years of this, seven years of that.” Forget it. Three and a half.

Read the Bible, in the light of the hour. Israel’s only got three and a half. And, the Book of Revelation tells you about it.

So don’t get heady and high minded, think, you’ve got answers and the prophet said different; or you’ll end up in adultery.

Well you was already, was in it. It’s just the physical is nothing. That just shows you what your spiritual shape was.

Just like Brother Branham said, “Sure, if man goes down the street and sees a woman all decked out to attract bait. Why,” he said, “Any red blooded man would get an idea. But, a son of God will turn his head, without carrying the idea.”

Preacher, I was told me one day about a certain preacher in a hotel, evidently, there were certain women of the streets were prowling up and down the corridors rapping at doors. And so, when he knew that, he kept his door shut.

About the third time the rap came, he said to himself, “If she raps one more time, I’ll open the door to her.” Red blooded man, child of God? Red blooded man, but I don’t know what child of God he was.

Maybe he was, I don’t know, I can’t judge him. It’s just not right. Something’s wrong somewhere. Well the rap never came, so he got taken care of that way. God was good to whoever that guy was. Yeah. You turn your head.

All right. One of the other precepts was; and I’m going to talk about this one, as one I call the ‘Great Parallelism of Scripture’. You see two separate people, with two separate descriptions, or pronouncements, or destiny.

Set forth at one time and in one breath and in the same verse, especially the same chapter. And, it confuses many readers because, they think that the Word is talking to only one group of people. So they get fouled up.

And, then they get lost and found alternately, up and down, in and out, hot and cold, and very confused. And this misunderstanding, has fathered legalism and distrust, then programmes and pride to compensate and failure in the end. Because that’s all it could breed.

The parallelism of Scripture, blessing and cursing, running side by side. Okay. Not on one people, but two people. Isaiah 24: beginning in verse 9.

Now, in there, what does it sound like? Sounds like, first of all, he’s taking up a great big rod, and he’s beating the brains out of somebody.

Then he turns right around, you know how kid’s do with a dog. Yip, come on boy, come on boy. The dog gets …?… Wham, you hit him. Poor dog runs out, yipe, yipe, yipe.

So you thing I’ll fool you. “Oh, come on boy, I didn’t mean it, come on boy.” Stupid dog, comes running right along. And, bam! Yipe, Yipe, Yipe, dog goes off. That’s not God! He’s not pulling a “Come here puppy” thing here.

He’s talking of two groups of people. One under the blessing, one under the curse.

These same people aren’t going to go down into any pit. You’ve got a yo-yo God. You don’t have any yo-yo God. There’s not some animal here. Now, man could be this way, but God’s not this way.

He’s not reigning over those. That’s the other one’s that he had mercy extended to.

Now,

Such confusion, nobody knows what to do. But, the Bride knows what to do. She doesn’t run around like a chicken with her head cut-off. And a God doesn’t go “Come on puppy come on.” Wham. Yipe, yipe, yipe, yipe, yipe. “Oh come here nice puppy.”

Come on! This is the law of parallelism in Scripture. This is that same One, that says, “Come unto Me and rest.” Inherit the Kingdom.

Who turns and says, “Depart from Me, I never ever knew you.” What have you got? You’ve got a Judge here.

And, you’ve got the Judge, throwing the sentence into the lap of the Executor. And, He’s the King. Isn’t that what it says here; talk about a King?

I thought It did. He’s going to reign isn’t He? That’s got to be a King. Bring down the noise of strangers.

That’s all they do is make a lot of noise. They’re a bluff, just like the devil.

Now, this is talking of our day. He will swallow,

That is the Bible for this hour. Understand what I am saying? Parallelism of Scripture. Two lines of thinking, for two lines of people.

And God, stands there, and He, says, “Come ye blessed, go, to those that don’t belong.”

This is based on Deuteronomy 11:26-32. Do you follow me? Are you with me? Now, I’m not going to waste my time now, let’s get down to business here.

How are you going to do it, except you be in the vine? All of Israel, is not Israel. I know you’re Abraham’s seed, but you’re not his children. A bunch of church members.

How can you do that if the revelation brings the One and only true living God to your sensibilities by revelation. And, you’re joined to Him.

How are you going to be cursed? See? This is what fosters legalism. They don’t understand. Then the next thing, they begin a works program. Then they get full of pride.

They say, “Look at me. Oh, I’m a wonderful guy. My wife’s in obedience. ”

She says, “How does he know?”

“The foundation of God standeth sure, the Lord knoweth them which are His.”

“Oh, all my kids are in.”

“Oh I’m wonderful, I’m a successful businessman, I knew the prophet.”

“I went around the world, and I’ve done this, and I’ve done that.”

Then dig up Brother Branham’s bones, and his body, defecate in the middle of them. You know what I’m talking about. Defecate means have a bowel movement. Yeah. Then, burn him.

“Oh why? Because, I’m the great man.”

Because, Brother Branham couldn’t say that about his kids. When he died, he wondered about Billy Paul. Play the tape, he said, “He’d be coming in here one day, when I’m in a pine box. Crying, too late.”

Oh we’ve got some great men in the land today. Or have we? You better look in the law, to see just what you are, which is nothing but a punk, no good jerk. Then take a look in the revealed Word, and see who can take your place.

And, in His beauty you’ll shine. Where is boasting? It’s excluded. These guys that talk so big. I’d like to see them get their wives pregnant. She ninety, and him a hundred.

Then I’d believe you’ve got something. In the mean time, you’re not half the man you think you are.

Oh merciful God. Such… don’t come around me brother/sister.

Now we’re in the land where the sun goes down. Oh yeah. We’re going to go in to possess the land. And, there’s a blessing and a cursing. Yeah.

“He that is righteous is righteous still, he that is holy is holy still. And he that is unrighteous is unrighteous still, and he that is dirty is dirty still.” Judge said so. Yep, Yeah.

This is also Romans 2:3-11. I hate to be nasty, but, these guys got nasty first. I thank you Bill, it’s the truth, got a good deacon here. That’s the truth, God being my Judge.

And, I’ll still stand here and tell you the truth. You throw me a spit-ball, I’ll pick it up and spit and throw it right back, it’s your tough luck, not mine. You asked for it.

You’ve got a bad reaction, because you gave the wrong action. That’s where sin lies. Not in the reaction. Lies in the action. I’m just a weak vessel, and I know that one day, God will help me.

In the mean time, He ain’t seen fit, or I haven’t seen fit to take His help. One of the two. I don’t which it is, I won’t blame God. But, the point is this, I’m mean, I’m not going to lie about it.

They got the revelation. “Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his deeds were evil.” Religiously destitute…

Certainly not, there’s no respecter of persons. He respects His Word. And if you’re part of His Word, you’ve got It.

Psalms 18:

Who needs Elijah? Who needs It? Revelation 22:10, I read it to you. The Book’s open.

Let’s go to Hebrews 10:26-31 instead.

Now, that doesn’t tell you anything about a sacrifice. Except, couched in terms of truth.

“God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, the world should not be condemned. This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, their deeds were evil.”

Therefore, they’re gone; sacrifice doesn’t mean a thing. So, It tells you that sacrifice doesn’t mean a thing. Once there’s a knowledge of the truth. “Thy word is truth.”

But a certain, fearful looking for indignation. That’s what will devour the adversary. The Blood can be on the Mercy Seat. What does it matter? Won’t do you any good. You don’t take the truth.

Now hold it. He’s talking about truth and the Blood.

People say, “I’ll believe the Blood,” then trample underfoot the truth? It was the bleeding Word that died for us. It was the life of the Logos, that came out once, and died for us. That life that God put in there.

“What are they talking about?”

Now, there’s a fearful looking forward to judgement. And of vengeance.

Recompense what? They talked about the Blood, and turned down the Word. What is the bleeding dying Word, that died for them? How can you separate the two? How can you talk about blood, and, deny the life?

And, say you’ve got a sacrifice. Like fun, you’ve got a sacrifice. You’ve got an article of condemnation, that will speak against you. Because the Blood speaks. The Blood judges.

Hebrews 6:1, and more of it,

Come right to the time, when that which is perfect is here. No more parts, it’s all here. It’s all done. Everything that come on down, has come into the Church. Justification, Sanctification, restoration of the gifts, baptism with the Holy Ghost.

Now, full Word restoration of the Word. When full Word is restored, then He’s here. The full measure, of what God wanted to pour in the Church. Then that leaves Him alone to come down.

God doesn’t pour and held His whole self into the Church, and then, God dissipates Himself amongst people. Then the Church would be God. Church has got a Head. The Head of the Church is Christ. The Head of Christ is God.

Where did you get your theology anyway? Hogwash. When it’s all here to be poured in, there’s only one thing left. Capstone, then He comes down. And, takes every loose string.

The first thing that comes in subjection to God, is God’s own Word in the people is lined up. Now, the life in the body, which is the body of Christ, begins to move them in. To where the dead can come out of the ground.

We’ll talk about that later, I don’t want to get into it now. All right.

That which is perfect is come. So what do you do? Doctrine. It’s no longer a Word, it’s reality. You don’t even worry about the Resurrection.

Are you going to make the Resurrection? Hogwash. You’re going to make a resurrection, you’re not even going to die.

Oh brother/sister, say, “Hey, are you going to go down there to such and such a town?”

“No, I’m going to bypass them, and go to the other town.”

Now this brings us to preface number two concluded; the Parallelism of Scripture. So, we go back to Revelation 1:10, and 12-18. All right.

All right. Here we see, the Priest turned Judge, entering in to His Millennial reign. Now, He’s coming into it. Because, He’s finished one facet, and He’s got to go to the other. But, before He goes to the other, there has to be a separation.

Now, the Scripture tells you that. Paul said, “I have not apprehended what I want to apprehend.”

But, he said, “I’m apprehended for it.” And he said, “I want to get to the out resurrection, from among the dead.”

I want to come out, and the rest are going to stay there, until I come out. Now Paul, you’re not very nice. Oh what a horrible creature you are, Paul.

Now, listen Paul, “If God, doesn’t bring everybody out, you ought to be nice, and say you’ll just stay there with them.”

I don’t think Paul was too nice. He had a fight with Barnabas. I like these guys, that ain’t so nice. They don’t mess you up, they set the record clear. Yeah. There’s a clear record around that.

You know they’re going to bite you. You don’t have to worry twice. But, you don’t get hydrophobia.

You know, Abraham Lincoln was told about a certain guy, was it Grant or somebody? that was a drunkerd and what have you. And, the fellow said, he was insane.

Lincoln said, “If he’s insane, I wish he would bites some of the rest of you.” You know, like hydrophobia. Get the guys bit, they become good generals like him.

All right. Here we see the Priest turned Judge into His Millennial reign. There are two sides or parallels to Scripture, as usual, and especially now, because, if a judge is present, there has to be two sides, or who needs a judge? It is man against man, or state against man.

The Kingdom of God against those who want to be in, or against those who violate. Or a man against man. Or who needs a judge.

Revelation 7:13-17, let’s see the parallelism of Scripture here.

Now, let’s take a peek now, at 6:12-16. Here’s the Sixth Seal open.

All right. Here’s two groups of people. Why? Because, He was Judge. Why was He Judge? Because, He was the Son of man. You see?

What you’re getting is a progression, an unfolding, greater, deeper manifestation. More wonderful, greater glory.

And, as He reveals and, unfolds Himself, we become recipients of His greater glory. You’d be a fool to turn It down. There’d be something wrong with you. See?

All right. So now we find we get to the title of the message, ‘The Day of the Lord,’ two prefaces, in an hour and ten minutes… not bad. ‘The Day of the Lord’, that is the time involved.

That is the period that is described in various Scripture, such as Isaiah 2:12-19 and Isaiah 13:2-11.

Let’s go to Isaiah 2:12-19. All right:

Okay big shots, parade your stuff. How’d you like to sit under a pastor that said that Brother Branham made mistakes… he just guessed, when he first began to discern.

You want the tape? I’ll get it for you. You say, “Brother Vayle, don’t mention names.” Oh I would just return the favour he mentioned mine.

Oh that doesn’t really give me reason to do it but I’m going to tell you something I want you to know what is going on in this land… and they say they believe a prophet.

The prophet hundreds of times said, “Find me one time ‘That’ ever made a mistake.” And he said, “The only reason what I say comes to pass, by vision, I’m the only one who can tell it exactly as I saw it.”

There’s a nice brother from down here in Cincinnati, said, Brother Branham came to his room in 1964, in Dallas, Texas, when Brother Branham had a meeting in Soul’s Harbor, with this boy’s father.

He said that at two o’clock in the morning, he came in the room, and this boy was lying in bed, at eighteen years of age, reading this magazine on sports, he said, Brother Branham came in there and said that his mantle, Elijah’s mantle would fall on him.

But, the other day, some people from Macon, came up there, because this man just phoned me and this boy, can even tell people their dreams now. Interesting.

But he said to this woman, “You have rheumatoid arthritis and you’re healed,” but she wasn’t. He couldn’t tell as it was a wasn’t, because it isn’t. He’s discerning, and, he’s guessing.

[Portion of audio blanked out]

I can tell you one thing: if William Branham guessed, then God wasn’t there. And God, isn’t here. Now why would people tell things like that? Oh, it’s very simple, so when they start to discern and make mistakes, it’s perfectly all right.

Because, it’s been well taught by a certain man, that you could practice gifts? How can you practice a gift? Especially a gift of God. Thoroughly misunderstanding some of the things Brother Branham said. I bring these things out.

Look, I care less anymore. I just sit home here, and, I talk to a few of you people, and you’re stupid enough to like it, and that’s fine by me.

Nice bunch of people, a little bit soft in the head or something. And the funny thing is, tapes go all around the world, and they don’t lift a finger.

That makes everybody mad, because they’ve got to run, run, run. Not running anywhere. All right.

Now, that’s going on now! Just waiting for the Great Tribulation. He’s risen with healings. But, you wait ’til He rises to shake the earth! Right now we’ve got a High Priest, thank God. But you wait.

And, you continue waiting, because, as He is crowned King, and is Judge, executing authority, and it gets worse and worse here on earth. He appears to the Jews, and the 144,000 are locked in.

There’s no need of any more high priests, no more of anything except wrath, judgement. Judgement, wrath. And the Bride comes down and confronts them. And, like I read to you, we will literally slay the wicked.

You say, “Brother Vayle, I’m a little bit squeamish.”

“Cursed be man who keeps his sword from drawing blood.”

I’m not saying, like some of these nuts, the Abernathy’s who said, “Oh I’m just waiting, to really find out who serpent seed is, and I’ve got my guns, I’ll go shoot them.”

I’m not shooting anybody. Nor shooting at anybody in particularly. Although you might think so. I’m just letting you know.

Look, God didn’t ask you to sit in on a conference and asked you what you’d like to have done. He told you what is being done. See?

Now, I want to tell you something: the Scripture says, “In the day of the Exodus, was a day of provocation; because they proved Me.” Which means, they did not approve of Me.

Are you approving of God this afternoon? Or, are you a little bit squeamish? You say, “Nah, I don’t know… I’m a sweet little mother, I’ve raise children. Nah-a-a.”

Well, nah-a to you. Your sweet little mother spirit going to rise up against God’s Spirit? Not anymore than my bulldozing spirit is going to make God bulldozed.

And, really I’m not a bulldozer, you know that. I preach rough, but, when I’m gone, I’m gone. You know, I talk to you people privately, you know I just draw my own horns in, and as soon as I’m out of this pulpit, I’ll draw my horns in, and you do what you want.

We’ll sit down over a bowl of soup and a couple of crackers. Up here I crack your head, down there, we crack crackers. I have no fight with anybody. You know that.

You know you’ve got to get awful deep with me, then I’ll take my hat off, and really go to town with you. There’s only a couple of men in my life, who I really locked horns with.

And I’m sixty-eight years of age, I don’t think even it went to two men. One man once. I read him the riot act, and that was it. Never should have done it, but, I did. Isaiah chapter 13. No, I don’t have a bellicose spirit up here to get back at people, as far as I know.

But, I’m preaching the Word of God. I want to know that something’s going on. The Bible says we’re supposed to know what’s going on.

The prophet said, “Always looking ahead, always looking back, don’t know what’s going on.”

I’m trying to show you what’s going on. I’m reading the Scripture, so you do know what’s going on. Because, if you don’t know what’s going on, there’s something wrong somewhere.

He’s risen with mercy. He’s risen upon us. He’s in the midst of us. I can show you more than one place, where Brother Branham said, “The baptism with the Holy Ghost which is temporary.”

Isaiah 13:

He said, “I’m going to come and destroy the whole earth, if I don’t send Elijah. And, when I come with him, I will arise with healing in my wings.” This is not healing, this is destruction. And, we’re coming back with Him.

“Oh, I just couldn’t do that.” You will. You will, or you haven’t got anything. No. “The Bride, she’s like an army terrible with banners.” Bible says so.

She stands up an she’s counted. She doesn’t say, “Oh, I wonder who’s preaching this? …?… some of the big-shots will get together, because, it’s so much to be a big-shot.” Well, I ain’t a big-shot.

I stood with the prophet the day a certain man phoned, and phoned, and phoned.

And, one day he said, “Look here, Brother Vayle, I want you to know, I’m not some little preacher down here with some little church on the corner, I’m so and so with a big church.”

So, I relayed the message to Brother Branham. “Oh, he said, Lee, we can’t go. Oh, we just can’t go.”

I said, “Why not?”

Oh, he said, “Lee, he’s too big for us.”

Prophet of God. “Amen Brother Bill.” Oh, I hope you hear us talking. We’re for you a hundred percent. And, for the God you served, I hope so.

All right.

All right. Now, to give an example of a day fulfilled. To see what is to come, or to what is come; see our day fulfilled, what is come.

Let’s go to Jeremiah 46: 10-14. Look, don’t go taking up clubs with me preaching like this, because you know I’m not going to be doing it either.

I’m just telling you why I preach, and I put it in a way that no one can mistake me. If they mistake me, they do it on purpose. I’m going to tell you something.

The Bible says, they’ll do it. “They are willfully ignorant, of what’s going on.” Bible says, “willfully ignorant.” Why? Because they say we’ll even believe a prophet. What kind of a prophet? An exodus prophet.

Then, God’s got to be there. And not, God just in a prophet. Because, that’s only a portion, as far as I know. And, not just in you and me. That’s minuscule.

That’s like an infinitesimal drop of sperm, of which fifteen thousand go across the cross section of one hair of your head. I’m talking about Him. The Creator, of the ends of the world. God, is here. Yes sir.

Angels don’t have blood. Devils don’t have blood. People have blood. “Oh, I’m nicer than God, can’t stand the sight of blood.”

Why do you think the Bible mentions that the blood is going to rise, going to be deep as a horses’ bridle in the valley? I figured that out one time didn’t I?

I told you just how may cubic feet of blood that would be. So many furlongs. They turned down blood. They turned down the life of the blood. They blasphemed Him. They deny Him. He’s the Judge.

Okay. Read these for yourselves: Joel 2:- 1-6; Amos 5:16-20; – Malachi 4:1-6; 2 Thessalonians 5: 2; – 2 Thessalonians 1:1-8; – 2 Peter 3:10; that tells you about this hour. Tells you about those He takes in, and, those He rejects.

Now remember, I’m not doing this, God is doing It. I don’t have a thing to do with It. All I got to do is talk about It. So the people’s minds may be straightened up.

Now, it’s absolutely impossible to take these Scriptures, and disassociate them from Genesis 18: That’s when God appeared before Abraham.

And, Luke 17: that’s when the Son of man comes on the scene. And, Matthew 24: that’s again when the Son of man comes on the scene.

In the one place He is absolutely revealed, apokalupsis. In the other, He lets you know He’s Present, or He couldn’t be revealed.

And He’s making the difference right now. The same One says, “I’m separating this, I’m separating that.” Says, “I’ll take this, I’ll take that.” Not a yo-yo, that comes down with a Shout, goes up for the Voice.

Goes up again, comes on down again, but the Same, does all three in descending. Of course, they don’t want to believe that. Why take away their glory? I’ll tell you what, the only thing I feel about the Presence of God, is shame and wickedness; as far as I’m concerned, myself.

Except that I know what He came to do, and, I’ll give Him credit. Which is change into His image. I’m going to tell you one thing, as far as I know He’s not going to vomit me out either, He doesn’t vomit by what I preach. I sure hope not.

With the prophet on the scene, it is inevitable, that Judge is next. But, the seeds of the Judge are in the prophet. For Elohim, is One who becomes.

In other words, what is constantly unfolding, as Brother Branham said, “Revelation 1, in order to unfold; and when that which is perfect is come in the revelation is complete.”

And, He is here, and we see Him, the next thing is what? Pre-eminence. First of all, it must be pre-eminence by way of the Word, the revelation, and the attitude. And, the acknowledgement.

Then will come, Him, working out in us. As manifested sons, whatever, He wants to work out. Don’t ask me, I don’t know. But, it will come.

In fact, the Judge is simply the prophet instituting for the people, the authority of the Word. And, demanding the consequences, both good and bad be followed through. Which is where the King comes in.

For He is the power on the Throne. Remember, we crown Him King at His incarnation for the Wedding Supper. Okay. So, the Seals open, and bring into view, the Judge. Bring into view the Judge, the Consummator.

Thus, in February of ’65, the judgements of God started to strike the earth, at the word of the prophet, William Branham.

And he said, “The judgements of God, are in the earth. Amen.” That’s exactly true. This established to all mankind, the truth of this hour and His Presence.

It is thus now today, ‘the Day of the Lord’ is in transition. God is now dealing with the elect and the non-elect. And soon, a Bride will preach to souls that are in prison.

Now, these people got 1 Thessalonians 4:16, the physical return. The prophet said, “When the Shout was the Message. Jesus comes down here with the Message, that means to the souls that are now in prison, He can’t do it, the Bride does it.”

For it’s not physical. It’s Spiritual. See? That’s why He’s here in Spirit.

You know, let’s face it, He said, “I want you to know this is sure, that you that listen to this tape might have thought I was trying to say that about myself. Seeing I was packing this Message. I have no more to do with it than nothing. No more than just a voice.”

Then who’s Message is it? God’s Message. Who’s voice is it? William Branham’s Message.

Anointed Ones 07-25-65

[269]  I was only standing there, I wasn’t the One that Appeared down here on the river, I was only standing there when He Appeared. I’m not the One that performs these thing as perfect as they are. I’m only the one that’s near when He does it. I was only the voice He used to say it. It isn’t what I knew, it’s what I surrendered myself to, that He spoke through.

That is not a man, it’s God. Tells you right there. All right then where is He? Show me Your nail prints. Hogwash. There’s no nail prints in a Spirit. The Lamb took the Book and climbed on the Throne. Waiting to be incarnated.

So that He Who is Prophet and Judge in Spirit, and has started the great work which is going to end in consummation of the Millennium, the White Throne, and New Jerusalem, and, the great infinite eternities of God. We’re just waiting for His incarnation.

Then He disincarnate Himself, whenever He wants to. Because, Brother Branham said, “He was in the Pillar of Fire, above the throne, the Lamb.” I’ve got no trouble.

People think I preach a couple of gods, I don’t know what they preach. Every man of his own choice. Birth pains are now in process of bringing forth both pain and a son in the flesh.

Birth pains to bring forth the Great Tribulation has started. And to bring forth the Son, to get us out of here, so the ‘Day of the Lord’ is coming more and more into view.

Brother Branham in Sabino Canyon up there, when the school kids saw that amber Cloud, Brother Branham doesn’t tell anybody, I don’t know why he doesn’t tell people, but there’s no place on the tape where he tells it.

But, they didn’t see one cloud, they saw two clouds. One was an amber Cloud, and one was a black cloud. A Cloud of Light and a cloud of darkness. Light and judgement.

The same as came to Moses. Those who saw themselves as they were. Dogs, sorcerers, whoremongers, liars. Of course they didn’t believe it. That is what came forth in that cloud of darkness.

“Without are dogs, whoremongers, sorcerers, adulterers, whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” But, inside, Bride.

The amber Cloud of Light leading us in. When that cloud passes over, there are two sides to that cloud, one is Light and one is dark.

And the Light that led Israel across, the same blackness that stopped Egypt. One was Life, and one was death.

But, Brother Branham doesn’t talk about it. We ought to know it anyway. Because, to him was given the power of life and death. Every prophet has the power of life and death. For the Word of God is there, giving Life and death.

All right. That ‘Day of the Lord’, is in plain view.

And, I say so confidently because, of Brother Branham’s Message which he got when he was in Sabino canyon when those two clouds stood there, and one was, “I forgive them who believe this Message.”

Their adulteries are gone. No more male prostitutes. No more dogs. No more sorcerers, peddling wrong prescriptions and medicines, carnality, that will destroy. No more adulterers. No more those that love and tell a lie.

And, I said for years, “You watch these guys who tell lies.” No more Holy Ghost than nothing.

Started right back, just this side of the Garden. It started in the Garden when Satan told his blooper. Now, Brother Branham discerned, there’s no two ways about it. But, he didn’t guess, and that’s a lie. That’s a lie.

Do you realize, that he’s trying to destroy the vindication that you and I stand on. Where’s it going to take you? Where are these men going to try to take you? They try to accuse me of building a kingdom. A kingdom of this number?

And, I felt better, when there was only half of you here the other day. I’m not trying to hurt anybody’s feelings. It’s just old Lee Vayle going to tell you the truth.

I’m not trying to take you anywhere. Ha! Where would I take you? Where I have been? Merciful God, I haven’t even had a good time in sin. I’ve just had enough sin to make me miserable, knowing I got caught in some junkie kind of junk.

Like, taking an Aspirin with a bottle of beer. Which I never did take either one, but, that is together.

So, you get a genuine high as though you had some genuine Scotch or something. Phfft! for where would I take you? Could I take you higher than you are now? Ha ha ha!

You’re higher than I am already. You’re nice and sweet and everything else. Where would I take you? What would I do for you, with you? Hogwash.

These guys talk like a bunch of old… fish women out there in the market and they smell like it too.

Brother Branham’s Message on ‘Marriage and Divorce’, he brought back and he said, “You’re forgiven for your unfaithfulness.”

Now, let me begin to tell you something. Listen carefully. ‘The Day of the Lord’. In the fourth century B.C. the word ‘lord’ began to have two fixed meanings.

Understand what I’m saying now? ‘The Day of the Lord’, right? Talking about the Judge.

Talking about this, talking about that. Bringing it all together as best we can. Okay. We’re going to have to give it some thoughts here; what this sermon is all about. Okay.

The word ‘Lord’ taken from John saw Him in the ‘Day of the Lord’.

A: Lord in the fourth century. As the lawful owner of a slave.

B: The Lord, of subject peoples.

C: Master of the House in the sense of one put in charge with certain things under him.

Number two meaning; ‘Lord’ as the legal guardian of a wife or girl. Both of these fixed concepts of the title ‘Lord’, are used in the sense, of one who has full authority with the implied idea of legitimacy.

The word or title ‘Lord’, is used in the sense of one who has full authority, with the understanding that it is legitimate. Do you follow me?

Not something that has been coerced. Not something that was taken by advantage. Not something by hypocrisy. But, legitimate. This is the true one. The legally empowered one.

Then, his master, over his own house, with the house subject to him, or under him. And, he legally entitled to be that lord. And, as the legal rightful guardian of that house, he’s a guardian of a wife or a daughter.

We can see where this fulfilled Isaiah 9:6-7. Okay.

Thus, from this moment on, from the relevancy of Scripture and the basic understanding of the terminology, we are calling the ‘Day of the Lord’ by a rightful synonym.

Which is: ‘The Day of the Husband’. Because, that’s exactly what it is. The Day of the Husband.

And, He’s there of Supreme Judge, Supreme Prophet. Legally, absolute owner with a hundred percent rights with that entire house, completely subject to Him. And that house by the way, is His wife.

Now, what right have preacher’s got to try to boss around the woman that belongs to God? No man has the right to talk to my wife outside of me. No man.

There are too many preacher’s so called in this Message, who will talk to any woman without the husband. Run her down, say anything he wants. He can’t do it.

I don’t care if he’s a preacher, or who he is. There’s one person’s got the legal rights, and that’s the husband. And this One, is the legal Husband.

All right. Headship is here. Amen. The risen Lord, is here in the same power of His resurrection that He ever manifested Himself. “In evening time it shall be light.” That’s when comes Christ.

The Holy Spirit, Jesus, comes down. Sets Himself at the head of His wife. He said, “Church,” that’s His building. Yep.

Then He will raise the dead, resurrect… then He will resurrect the dead… or the Church rather, being His own body. Rapture tape.

In this way we shall see the parallelism of Scripture. That we mentioned as a principle. We go to Corinthians 11: reading verses… starting at 2.

In other words, he’s telling you this: that God Himself, thoroughly proved, who He was, and Paul, thoroughly proved who he was. So there is no mistake. The marriage, was a valid marriage between God and a Bride.

Now, the virgin wife, now remember, she is a virgin wife because espousal means ‘marriage’. And a spouse, means ‘a wife’. Or, vice a versa. But, usually wife.

The virgin wife does not heed 1 Corinthians 6:13(b)-20 Okay.

Now, God’s going to join Himself to somebody. And, it’s going to be one Spirit, the same Spirit that raised Him, has got to be in us. Because, that’s what was in Him. In order that we’ll be one.

Now, that’s the original sin against the body. Which is both physical and spiritual body. And fornication, is believing ‘the’ lie, and entering into a union to produce life by it. And, it won’t, it produces death.

So if the Bride is ever going to live, She’s got to have a restored Word. That’s why Brother Branham said, “Nothing outside this Message will come to life.” How could it? Because this brings death.

And, It tells you that. How Eve got out of the way listening to the word of the enemy. What drove Cain to do what he was taking the word of the enemy.

All right. Now. She does not listen. She goes to 1 Corinthians 6:13-20, and like Eve in the garden, hearkens to the same serpent.

And, the same persuasion. And, loses her virginity to another, than her husband. That is,

What’s repent? Change the mind. And then what? You go back to serving God through the revealed Word. No more creeds and dogmas. No more getting a leading apart from the Word of God, and calling it God.

1 Timothy 2:

All right. She goes from Revelation 3:14. She goes from there, rather to Revelation 3:14, which you know she is wretched, miserable, naked, blind. She’s naked, caught in her adultery. But thinks she’s all right.

And watch, what happens over here in,

In other words, caught having intercourse with another man. Now listen: There’s only one real man. That’s the Husband, that’s God, He’s Spirit, and He gave the Word.

And there’s only one other man will mess with you. That’s the other spirit that incarnates in a man. He transforms his mission into an angel of light.

And the church is caught listening to other than what the prophet gave. The vindicated Word.

So here they are found, and the church, in spite of John’s prayer, was caught absolutely naked. Caught right in the act.

And, the church has been caught in the act, of giving herself over lock, stock, and barrel, to her creeds and dogmas.

Now, she is in danger of ending up, and she does end up actually, temporarily, in,

Notice, this pronouncement of judgement, is going on at the same time the Bride is coming out of Babylon. Let the Bride come out. There’s nothing but judgement left.

This wrath is in the seven vials of the grievous bodily sores. Polluted deadly waters of sea, and river, and fountain.

Fire and plague, darkness and tongue gnawing pain. Water ways disappearing. Evil spirits drawing them against God, unto their destruction.

Hundred pound hailstones. All deadly diseases that are pandemic. All nature under a destructive cataclysm. And yet, men live on to curse and finally die in a war against God and His Saints.

And, are reduced to ashes, not only losing all they ever had, or were. But, must face a White Throne Judgement. And, how many years or millenniums of the lake of fire, we don’t know.

The end time church is a whore. A world wide church, the mother of many like her. Full of blasphemous names. For she has married every idolatrous religion, and, takes the name of many men.

Her first head, her pope, was the bastard son of Eve by the serpent. Even Cain. Satan is the harlot church progenitor through Cain. That is apparent by,

See? That’s what she is. She is a complete mess. She is endowed, with the religion, perfectly in tune with Cain’s, because, it is Cain’s religion.

1 John 3:

Now, he’s telling you why Cain hated Abel. He couldn’t stand his brother’s revelation. So there was only one thing to do, was to kill. Now, you can say what you want.

This world is talking love, love, love, love, love. Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet. Everybody brother. Everybody get together. That’s all you hear. What’s it going to bring?

It’s going to bring hatred against the truth. Because, that’s not love. Love, is the love of the truth. There’s only one love. That’s the love of the truth. Everything degenerates into a physical. And, the physical has degenerated.

The phileo love should have been agape love. Bringing children out of the dust, but, it went into a sex love. Now, that’s all they know.

Not saying that phileo love is not decent love in itself. But it will never get you anywhere. Except in a mess. See?

Now, this real love, is the love of the revelation of God’s Word. And the abiding in It. That’s what you’re up against here. We don’t love like that. We don’t love like the world. The world loves its own.

The Methodists love Methodists, fight the Baptists. See? Now, one of these days, when the Bride is all in, and the squeeze begins to come down, it’s quite likely there’ll be a lot of Bride destroyed. They can be destroyed various ways; by sheer murder, or just let them starve.

They say, “We’d like to feed you, but the point is this, we know we’re right and you’re wrong, if you won’t come with us, we can’t help it you see, i’s here, if you’d just join us.”

Just like the kid that sits there, and he’s some kind of a dumb mute. You know the guy, he’s, something wrong with him. You know there’s something really wrong with the poor bird, he just sits there.

And you say, “Now look fella, you’re going to skin and bone now. Look I’m giving you some good food.” And you know he understands. He can understand that.

And, you reach the food out, but, he won’t put his hand out. And, the poor kid finally dies of starvation. Well that’s what they say you are.

“You’re a nut. You won’t join us, so it’s your tough luck. Look we try to help you. It’s your fault if you starve.” Sure, let’s not kid yourself, there’s trouble coming.

All right. She is born of the devil. And, the devil’s seed remains in her. She’s a murderer and a liar, and the truth is not in her.

“I’m Methodist.”

“I’m Baptist.”

“Oh, ” they say, “I’m Abraham’s children.”

He said, “Sure, he said, but you belong to the devil just the same. ”

The devil comes down to indwell her, and, becomes her head. Yeah. Incarnating in a pope. In a big president. In a big shot. Satan now is her husband, and her lord, exactly as Jesus is Lord and Husband of the Bride.

Satan owns her legally. He is her legal guardian. A guardian, why? Because, she put her ear to the door. When the year of jubilee sounded, it’s already sounded, you know, “Come out of her My people.”

She said, “Oh no.” She stuck her ear to the doorjamb. And, the awl went through, she’ll never hear again.

She is his slave. He is her master. She is his kingdom. She is his wife/daughter. She’s a wife/daughter, by the serpent beast. But, with the Bride of Christ, that is the true wife, that isn’t so.

She’s spotless, without blame, without blemish before Him in love. Now, this is the hour, of union and unification. It’s not just union. It’s unification. It’s a flowing together. You can have a union, but it doesn’t mean unification. It’s like a marriage of convenience.

How many men over here, were stupid enough to marry a woman, and vice a versa, because they wanted some kind of a legal authority, of immigration from the States?

So the woman says, “I’ll marry this guy, it’ll cost you six hundred dollars. As soon as the marriage is over, you go your way, I’ll go mine. Rip up the marriage today, I’ll get it annulled, or I’ll get a divorce in a few months, and you’re a citizen.”

So, she does it, and he, does it. Well that’s not going on here.

Our union is a unification. She’s one with Him. See? Not just a joining together, but a melding, a union, a flowing together. See? Now, now, is the day of union, and unification. What a day.

Because the Bride and the Word, are uniting and become one spiritual living Word. I don’t care what It looks like. You’ve got to believe It.

A year after God appeared, to Abraham and Sarah, it was a year after at least, before there was any conception.

And during that time, he and she were both young enough to conceive. Now here they are, too old… no way.

That knocks you right down to the ground. How are we going to have that child? Now, okay, here they are young again. Still can’t have a child.

Now what does that do for you? Holy mackerel, let’s get out of here, the whole things… phfft! forget it. You don’t look. You believe. Abraham believed. See?

At one time it was no good. At one time it was too good. You can’t win for losing if you’re going to use your senses. Hey! See? You start looking around, you might as well join the false anointed.

That’s what’s going on is with a mule. The mule is doing all the work. That destitute one, she’s having all the kids. “Many more are the children of the destitute than she that has a husband.”

God’s not in proliferation, quantity, He’s in quality. It’s a faith proposition. See? The assurance of faith. Living, spiritual Word. Christ is being formed in the flesh of the Bride.

As Brother Branham said, “Jesus in Bride form.” See?

They are becoming one, more and more. Until, like Him, they are caught up to the Marriage Supper. Glorified body. Even as the rebirth of foreknown seed, brings the death to the old nature.

So now, does our union with perfection, the revealed Word bring a new rebirth to the Bride, and there is death to the old denominational husband. And, the legalized marriage to the Lamb, comes into being.

In other words, this is it. As grace triumphs over law. And as long as the husband dies, giving the Bride the right to be joined to grace; the Bride is now the product of amazing grace, and, is going on to the resurrection, for her head, is even a risen Husband.

Now, the body has always got to follow the head. Or the body doesn’t… you know that as well as I do.

The Bride has come out of Babylon, and, the fornications of denomination, and, is now a virgin. For she has the true knowledge of Jesus, the Spirit and the gospel.

And, put aside her harlot robes and ornaments. For the pure vestment, made of the in-spirited living Word, in the inner man.

Just think what the prophet said, how it said, “He shall appear in the last days, it was to bring the people back to the Word, so the Bride will know her mate. Her Husband, the revealed Word.”

Matthew 25: she comes out. What of? Babylon. She beholds Him and she sees Him. And, is changed.

This is Ephesians 1:15-23. “The Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the Bride bringing her the knowledge of Him, in this hour.”

This is community, or body, revelation. A many member is one revelation, with the promise to the whole living Bride. It’s the across the board promise. The group is moving out.

The promise is not made to one man or two men, and a half a dozen women. It’s made to everybody. Everybody’s coming out. Everybody’s going in.

It’s not ‘you must be born again’, that’s to the individual. It’s not ‘as the body has many members, so every member has a gift’ That’s not so. It’s a many membered body’s got a Husband. And, we’re going into the Resurrection.

And, that many membered body is counted as one wife. As David had five hundred wives, and all counted as one. See? Now, the harlot claims to know Him, but she does not.

Being filled with all lies, she cannot perceive truth. And, there is nothing in her to receive It. Jesus said to the Pharisees, “There is no place in you for my word.”

Now, if you’re like that… raccoon I think it’s the one, you put a nut in the bottle, or a shiny thing, he puts his hand in the bottle, his paw, and grabs the thing and he can’t get his hand out of the bottle. Now that’s the way the harlot is.

She’s got her heart so full of her creeds and denominations, and when the Word of God comes, there’s no place for It. Just spills off, like water off a duck’s back. She’ll never get It. See? Nothing there to receive It.

Like Jesus said, the Pharisees. What a day this is, the Husband claiming His wife.

Now, here was David, oh Saul, he got big hearted one day.

And, he said to David, “ I think I’m going to give you my oldest daughter. Oh, he said, I know David, you’re a great man. I’m going to give you my daughter.” So, he gave him Michal.

So I guess they were legally married, they must have been, because he, Saul, gave the daughter. All right. In the mean time, Saul gets mad and he chases David off.

And he gets madder still, so he said, “Hey, he said, I’ll just gave this guy’s wife, he said, my daughter, I’ll just take her back, and give her to this general over here.”

So he gives this mans wife to somebody else. So now, the table’s overturned.

And, David comes back and he goes to the man and says, “You’ve got my wife.” I never could quite figure that. I can’t figure it right now, except that I see amazing grace, in this thing typing out.

He said, “That’s my wife. Now, he said you may have been sleeping with her, but, that’s my wife. I’ll come and get her.”

I kind of think that’s a lot like what’s going on right now. We’ve been messed up with the creeds and dogmas and filthy associations of this world. And, that’s where filth is.

You think filth is down here when someone is getting drunk, and committing adultery, bopping someone here with a beer bottle and cutting his throat. That’s where you’re wrong.

Filth is back there. It starts with the spiritual introduction of license from the devil. The lie, that’s where filth is. And, everything comes from it. See?

So, all right. Here’s it, as it were, King David’s wife, been given over here into Babylon. Now the king comes on the scene, he said, “That’s more than …?… you better come on out,” he said. “I’m going to get her back,” that’s about the closest I can liking that one.

All right, the husband claims his wife. Now, he appears to her, and she knows him. See? This is Matthew 24, “one taken, and one left.”

How many churches do you folk represent here, where you sat in pews where other people sat beside you? You came out, but, the rest are sitting there. That’s Matthew 24. He’s sealing her in by himself.

And, the government being placed on his shoulders. That makes the legitimate One, and there’s none good, but God. See?

The God of truth, the God of the Amen. The faithful and true witness. That’s what He is. The beginning of the creation of God. He’s here. See?

Now, her Maker, that’s the Bride, her Maker, is her Husband, her Lord that she recognizes as Lord, has appeared unto her; and, judged her virtuous; declared her justified; and, has taken her into His judicial chamber, behind the doors of revelation.

That closed out the world, and has affirmed that, He who is here as Son of man, has every right to judge, and declare that she is found guiltless, and blameless and pure, and undefiled.

And, she’ll never hear a word of condemnation. But, is passed from death into life, because she didn’t do it in the first place. That’s what it is all about.

Let’s go to,

Don’t you like to see a little bit of avengement? Don’t you rejoice when you really see something that it really burns you up, and you really know it’s bad, that thing is brought to task?

You ever read these Ann Landers’ columns? I read them when I have a paper because, I think she’s pretty good in spots, and she’s pretty horrible in others.

Typical female preacher, is what she is. Which means, I really don’t have any use for her.

But, you know she’s got this ideology trumped up you know, a woman writes in and she said, “I had this child, so on and so forth, but I’d like to be in a white gown when I marry.”

She said, “Go right ahead.” [omit these ‘Ann Landers’ comments if you want]

Ha, ha, ha, Ann Landers doesn’t know the thing we know about it. Ann can white wash them, let her white wash them. She wouldn’t tell the truth if she had to. Because why? She hasn’t got it in her.

You ain’t going to find any whore, been producing bastard children unto Satan, pretending that they’re children of God; that’s going to be in that Bride, with white garments on. Come on. Let’s get down to nitty gritty.

See look, you begin selling yourself down the river, the minute you begin imputing anything to that bunch out there, but destruction.

Now you just go ahead and impute anything but destruction. I’ll tell you why, look, we don’t know that we’re Bride, but, by grace we are, we believe it.

Now, let’s understand this: the prophet said, “If we’re not Bride, there’s a Bride out there somewhere. And, by the grace of God, I won’t stand in her way.” I’m going to tell you, there’s a Bride going to be just like this one.

Let’s have enough brains and enough grace, and enough something to stand back and say, “Hallelujah, if we’re not there, somebody’s going to be there.” Yeah.

And, when He says, “You start shouting, that Voice come out of the Throne, start praising God.” Oh, that’s going to be so beautiful.

Yep, I’ve got enough in me, and so do you, to recognize, that much. Hallelujah, I believe the rest is there to take it all the way too.

Oh, fine linen, the righteousness of the saints, which is, God Himself.

That ought to make a man fall down and worship, before time. All right. There is a judgement of the harlot and the Bride. Okay. Let’s talk about what’s going on next. Verse 11.

Here’s the Great One, the Judge, making war, yes sir, seated on a white horse; Who’s with Him? A Bride, a mighty army.

What are they doing? They are bringing destruction upon the nations, with the fierce sword of the wrath of Almighty God. Justice must be perpetrated.

So, here they are destroying the wicked. Blood riging right into the horses’ bridles, cross the landscape, sweeping the fire of Almighty God destroying men, reducing them to ashes. I didn’t say It, the Bible did. Yes sir.

There is judgement of the harlot, and the Bride, right here, before us. The Bride’s judgement is thus give Him honour and pre-eminence.

Come to the wedding, you’re Bride. Here’s your garments, you’re blessed, you’re holy. What are you doing standing out there? Come on in.

All I said about you is true. No spot is found in you. And, I will make all come and recognize you as My wife. What a day this day is today.

The Day of the Husband. The Husband revealed. The Head of the house. The Life. The All in All. The Judge is the Husband, and He cannot testify against her. Because, He is her covering. I like that law.

The husband cannot testify against the wife, yet he’d be testifying against Himself. Because he’s her covering.

But, oh how we can testify back if we only will. Which is to give back to Him, in confession of our faith, what He gave to us.

Let me close with these words: as Israel escaped Egypt, they took strength for the journey, from a Passover Supper. Spiritual food in due season.

In our jubilee, our feast day, we are eating, not the words of a man, but, the body Words of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Through vindication, which will transfuse and transfigure our bodies, by the meat we have received for our due season. The season of immortality.

And, whoso eat of this Word, which is made alive by the Spirit, shall never die. But enter the Kingdom as a body. Yep. All together.

As a sweep, the deep sweep of immortal life, flows over her. Each and every member all at once. So there it is. If you are alert, you will have noticed that we have just reopened what we have said previously.

Another facet of Him who is unveiling Himself. And, that is Elohim. The One who becomes.

Not only Prophet, not only Judge, but the Husband at the Head, who stands for the wife. And He says everything she is, and, only everything she is, what she has received of mind. For she is perfect. Nothing has been added, and nothing has been taken.

So, that’s the subject for today. ‘The Day of the Husband.’ Yep. Aren’t you glad, as the members of the Bride, if Satan comes by, you can say, “I don’t talk to men, you’ll have to talk to my Husband.”

If anybody, wants to take authority, you say, “You’ll have to talk to my Husband.” And, let me assure you, He’s a man of few words, and they never, ever change.

And He will say to them, that, “You refer them to Him.” He will say, “Depart, because I don’t know you.”

You say, “Why is that?”

Because He doesn’t know them now, if He won’t know them then. Because you see, this is the hour of revelation. This is where an ounce of prevention is worth a million tons of cure. Because, in the prevention lies the cure.

Because it is the cure that prevents us from going to the great tribulation. The Husband stands here. Isn’t it marvelous, to think we have such a covering? That our Maker, is our Husband.

That He which was dead and is alive, will soon be incarnated, by Him who is and was, and is to come. The Alpha and Omega, Hebrews 13:8, the All in all. That’s right.

And, that One that came down is, putting everything in divine order, through divine Word. And, He’s still here, because, the same One that came down with the Message hasn’t raised the dead.

So, when people try to tell me, “He isn’t here.”

I say, “That’s wonderful.” And, I could say something else, but, I’m going to be very polite and just let you know this. That, if He isn’t here, He better get here pretty soon.

And I want to find out who said, “He went back.”

Because, [blank spot on tape] I’m not taking their word, because, I want to know what vindication they’ve got.

They haven’t got as much as I’ve got, and, I ain’t got none. That’s right. I want to know when He’s going to come back to raise the dead. Now, they stuck their necks out.

I want to tell you something: I believe the Husband is here. I believe the Good Shepherd is here.

I believe the door is here. I believe the gate is here. I believe All in all is here. And, I believe He who becomes, they missed it, because they don’t know what He’s becoming.

He’s becoming more and more into human flesh. They missed what the prophet said. But, by the grace of God, we’re not going to miss It. Because, He’s here in a Bride form.

And Brother Branham said in telling us flat. He said, “I’ll tell you what.” he said, “All this is not given to one person.”

When he’s talking about the ministry that he had, and, this and that. But he said, “One member has it, the whole body has it.”

Now, let me tell you something, let’s get this flat: People like to think that this body is just something that’s kind of amorphous lump. I’m going to tell you that our amorphous lump that’s exactly wrong.

When you talk about a body, you don’t talk about moles on the face and warts on the cheek. I got a little wart here, a mole here, and up here. Mole here, mole here. It isn’t the perfect face, you can tell that. If I was perfectly healthy, you know what I mean.

You couldn’t find anything in my body that would even suggest death. In other words I had, I’m going to tell you what, there ain’t going to be any moles in the resurrection. Put it that way.

I may have the same nose, but my I’m going to fool you, this nose is broken, maybe slightly changed. But not that much.

High cheek bones, all the same there. But, there won’t be any sinus problems. No sore throats. I’ll get my tonsils back. All my hair come back. Oh yeah.

I’ll look great, and you’ll look great. You know why? Because we won’t have the devil’s standards anymore. We won’t be looking through eyes that have been corrupted through senses that have been tarnished.

Oh, they talk about these guys that, you know, they train in colleges, these chiropractors, these …?… until they can take twelve sheets of newspaper, and run their fingers over it, and they can pick up a pin almost a hair, under twelve sheets of newspaper. I don’t think a hair, but, a little pin.

You say, “What a great sense of touch.” Phfft! Wait till it gets to the Millennium.

I got a nose that I wish I didn’t have. Not so much from the size and the shape. But, from the way I can smell… I like perfumes. But, if my wife puts on perfume, I get almost a headache. I wish I wasn’t that way.

I can smell smoke when most people don’t smell smoke. I can hear noises that you’ve got to have a tremendous range. I wish I didn’t have it.

But, oh how nice it’s going to be in the Millennium. Oh to smell the most beautiful, oh marvelous… to see the most wonderful things, to hear the most… Yeah. Why? Because the Husband’s here.

The great dragon killer. The destroyer of serpent seed. He’s here. And, I’ll tell you, everything that He has of the Father, He has it for the Bride.

This my brother/sister, is ‘The Day of the Lord’, that we’re just sweeping into. Because it’s Prophet, Judge, King, Priest,… Judge, King. And, the prophet stood here, and was the Voice of God.

He said, “Little Bride, you’re the virtuous, faultless, sinless, Bride of Christ. You didn’t even do it.” And he pointed his finger and said, “The judgements of God, are in the earth.”

Now you, do what you want. I’m doing what I want. I’m going to stick with this revelation. He is here. He is here. He is here. And He is mine. And I am His. And when He goes, I’m going with Him.

Let’s rise.

Heavenly Father, merciful God, we praise You again, and magnify Your Great and Holy Name. For the love that You loved us. The mercy, Lord, You have bestowed upon us, we know it is limitless. And, we praise You for it.

We thank Thee, O God, that we have discerned the signs of the times, and the only reason we have, is because, You allowed us to.

For, from the beginning, You fore-ordained, and predestinated us, that we would have a place in us that we would recognize that Word.

And, now we’re grateful now that Word, alive within us, will change us. And, no longer, Lord, do we look at ourselves and worry anymore, the fuss is over. Married to the virtuous, sinless, wonderful Son of God.

And, the same prophet that told us that, said we were pure and spotless, and didn’t even do it. We were back to virgin. Yes, that same One told us these things. And, we believe that It is the Voice of Almighty God.

Because, the Lord Himself descended with a Shout. Which was not said to be His own voice.

But, at that river, when the clarion call came forth, “As John the Baptist foreran the First Coming, so your Message will forerun the Second.”

Absolutely was the voice of Your prophet William Branham. And there stood the rainbow overhead. So, that men and women could see that same One, that reflection.

Knowing one day that same One who’s reflection was there, visible to the people, would step right into the Church.

Come right down and set upon land and sea, knock at that door, and bring a Bride out to sup with Him. Bring her right out of Babylon.

Take her into the King’s palaces. For all is glorious. Because, the King’s Bride is all glorious within and without. Because she is all of Him, and He is all of her.

United together, flowed together, melded together. We appreciate that, Lord. We know we’re just coming more into It. It’s a little hard to accept It, you know, Lord, that we’re giving You our confession based upon that what we heard.

And, Lord, we’re believing that You’re going to quicken this to us. Until, it is one divine flow of revelation. Singing glory and praise to Him, who loved us, does love us, and will continue so.

And, unto Him, who brought this all about, unto Him, who also became into flesh; to die and rise again for us. Unto Him be praise, honour, and glory in the blessed Name of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen.
