Day Of The Lord – Master Husband #02

Let’s pray.

Heavenly Father we know that this is exceptionally true that all things are possible for that which was not possible at that time when You were there in the Garden with Adam and Eve.

And You said lest you ye stretch forth his hand and taketh of the Tree of Life and live throughout the ages You stopped that. It was impossible, but in this hour the ages have come upon us and it is all over.

So therefore, even this is now possible which is the ultimate. There will be some standing who will not taste death.

And we’re very grateful for that, Lord, that this is that hour and we count ourselves of that people, not that we have anything of ourselves to commend ourselves, but our faith is in Thee, and we judge You faithful, Lord, to Your Word.

That You brought the Word to us, and now having brought It in the Shout, we believe there is only one place to go and that is into the Voice, and then unto the Trumpet.

So Father, we thank You and we just praise You for Your consistent goodness, and we believe you will be good to us this morning showing us Your Word in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

[Brother Vayle goes through some local announcements.]

Now, we’re into the Day of the Lord, which is the Day of the Master, which is also the Husband. And of course we know that we’re not remiss, because the word is translated that in the best translations, and if I can just find it over here.

I never can find anything when I want it. I don’t say I can never find it when I want it, but sometimes I have myself a job.

And, yes It says in the 3rd chapter of Hebrews here’s concerning It says:

So, this is the Day of the Husband, the Day of the Master, the Day of the One that is legally the Head. See? Remember the Scripture says we have one Lord and that is the One we’re dealing with this morning.

So alright, we go to the Book of Revelation again, the 1st chapter and in there the 10th verse:

This is kind of surprising to a lot of people, because they don’t realize what started in the Garden of Eden where God spoke to Adam conversationally, He has kept up by means of prophets.

Now then, you noticed that John heard the same Voice in verse 10 that he heard in verse 8.

Now look it, I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day. I came in the Spirit to the Lord’s Day. I became, and heard a great Voice. Now, that’s the same Voice he heard in verse 8.

Now, we know It is the same Voice categorically, because 11th verse says, “I am Alpha and Omega.”

So, the Alpha and the Omega of verse 8, is the Alpha and Omega, the same One in verse 10 that he turned to see in verse 12.

So, alright It’s the very same One.

Okay. Verses 1-3, now follow me the best you can:

Okay, 1-3, that is the prophet, because it’s a prophecy. So, we see a prophet, a prophetic ministry right before us, concerning God Himself.

In other words, God’s His Own Prophet, there is a prophet involved here and a prophecy comes forth.

Okay, verse 8. “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending.” Okay, in other words you see something going on in progress.

It takes a prophet to bring it out. So that’s prophet again. But when you get to verse 10, “I heard behind me a voice as of a great trumpet.”

Now remember, a trumpet announces a person, it declares war. It has to do with announcements. In fact, if you get to the Feast of the Trumpets you’ll find all the things that Brother Branham delineated concerning a trumpet.

Okay, now when he turned, he saw a judge. Okay, prophet, prophet, judge. So, we noticed the voice of the prophet now is the same voice as the voice of the judge. See?

Notice:

Prophet, prophecy. Over here, judge. See? And when you have a judge of course you’re dealing basically with word, but in a different position.

Okay, the Voice of both the prophet and the Judge is one. See? The voice of both prophet and Judge is one, now, that’s not always the case in the world. That’s why you’ve got so much trouble.

If you ever had somebody that could really interpret the law, that is the word, you’d have a really fine nation. Well, what have you got today?

You got a Supreme Court that is supremely inadequate. They don’t care two-bits what the legislator’s want. They want to legislate.

Thank God there is a Judge and a prophet that has one Voice. We have a Judge and a Word that is one. Which proves God is the Word.

That’s why we put such emphasis on both the Logos which is not printed page, and the printed page which deals with Logos. In other words, ‘describes’ and gives us the verbal mechanical understanding.

Okay, now,

Now notice in there: from God seven Spirits, Jesus Christ. Now you got to keep it all separate. I don’t care how much interplay there is. I don’t mean I don’t care as though as I don’t care.

I mean I’m making a statement here that is not consequential as to any ferment or furor, or any pickiness in trying to elaborate so that you become so proficient in understanding this that you, you know, you’re tremendous.

No! It’s that there is a difference. There’s a three thing set forth here. “Grace from him, which is, which was, and is to come, and from the seven spirits and from Jesus Christ.”

Now, we’re not going to try to analyze, synthesize, we just know they’re there. That’s it! Okay, three things there.

Now, you notice, verse 5, 6, 7 is about Jesus, Who is the Christ.

Okay, now what I want you to notice here is that Revelation 1:4-7 must give way to John 5:27. Let’s go back and look at John 5:27, we already know what It is, because we’ve looked that this before.

Now notice: it’s not only to execute in the sense of pronounce, but to carry out. See? So, 4-7, gives way to John 5:27 which of course is Revelation 1:12-18, the Judge. See?

And It gives way to,

Why? Because there’s a war. Why? A trumpet is sounded. Why? A Message is gone forth. They turned It down. So now comes the fight. And I’m going to tell you God’s going to win this one single handed. See?

There’s a battle coming up, and don’t let anybody kid you. and Who was It, He was the One who’s vesture was dipped in blood, Who is called the Word of God.

“In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Here we see the super manifestation of God in all Ages, crowned King of kings, and Lord of lords coming with His Bride. War, trumpet, See?

Now remember, it’s at the last trump, the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised. The sounding of the Gospel trumpet of Revelation 10:7, which can only come to Revelation 10:1.

Because Revelation 10:1 is the mighty One we’re talking about descended on earth in the form of the Holy Spirit at the time when the mighty Messenger, the Seventh Church Age Messenger is here. And remember, that’s the time of Malachi 4.

So, you can see how Revelation 1:4-7, gives way to Revelation 1:12-18 which is explicitly set forth in John 5:27. Prophet is the Son of man.

So, there comes a time when the day of prophecy will begin to run out. Wind right down. And the Day of the Lord begin to speed up.

Now, Brother Branham called that a juncture, or someone turning a corner, and it takes a prophet to do it. Okay, you understand we’re talking then, how the prophet gives way to the Judge.

Now, there can never be any decision, or verdict unless there is a Word to go by. No way. You understand that? Then what church has a right to say anything? I want to know.

See, I’m hitting where Brother Branham hit. What church would He judge by? There can be no judgment, and there can be no judge unless it is one with the Word. Show me the church.

Why is He going to judge all the whores and all the daughters? It’s by one man Christ Jesus, Prophet Who is the Word.

For all judgment is committed unto Him. That’s why He had to be Prophet. That’s why He’s called ‘That Prophet’. See?

Now, He’s a lot of other things, because of what He is, everything’s in Him. But now as the Great Prophet there is no course or plan of action that is right or wrong unless a previous Word already has been enunciated and revealed by scriptural continuity, vindicated to be so.

In other words, if you are going to have a judge, there has got to have been something through the ages that God has held inviolate, and brought to the people so that there is something to judge by. Now that’s pro and con, see? and it’s got to have a scriptural continuity.

That’s why he said here, reading my notes carefully, there is no course or plan of action is right or wrong, unless a previous word that has been established, a plan of something, a purpose, already has been enunciated and revealed by scriptural continuity vindication.

Now, let’s understand this: you know, God defers judgment until there’s nothing left to judge. He said concerning the Exodus of Moses, bringing them out of Egypt, He said, “The cup of the Amorites is not over.”

Now, remember what He said to the Pharisees, let’s get that in,

What judgment? There’s only one judgment, that’s Word. See? He said, “The Word that I give you, you’re going to be judged by. John 8. I think it is.

All right now, Israel, Jerusalem absolutely paid the price. Now, you got the same thing at the end-time here. See? In other words, scriptural continuity. There comes a time when the Word runs out.

Now, let’s face it, every time a Word has run out, God has stood there with another Word when it comes to redemption. But, there’s going to come a time when redemption runs out and that’s now.

In the first Church Age a bugle was sounded, a trumpet was sounded, a Message went forth a war was declared. The Gospel went forth riding in power as a lion under that first Seal, and in the first Age or so.

Okay, now then, what happened? God took His messenger off the scene, Paul died. John died. So Polycarp comes on the scene, Irenaeus on the scene, they don’t have what those men had, but they have enough.

And so, another Gospel trumpet is sounded, another war is declared, the Gospel goes forth bringing in the people, they lay that messenger away.

Another trumpet sounds, another war is declared, sword is going forth to slay the enemy. See? To draw blood, to bring in the righteous. Then that one is laid away.

But, there comes a time when the Seventh Church Age messenger blows on his trumpet and a war is declared against denomination. It’s all going to tumble down. And redemption runs out.

Now, there’s no more Word left for redemption. No siree, no siree. It’s gone. He’s not starting anything where man’s got to have a redemption. He’s starting with the redeemed. See?

And they’re going where the prophesies which are vague but beautiful are fulfilled in an immortal people. Now remember, God always had a plan for that.

That’s why He said in the Garden of Eden, why He said, “Now that this man knows good and evil, He said, he’s like Me, he’s like God.”

So therefore he’s in a position now to stretch forth his hand and take of immortality and live forever which is six thousand years, because immortality is not eternality.

Ages to ages is six thousand years of human living, so He stopped him. But, at the end of six thousand years there has to be a change and we’re there right now. See?

And the last trumpet is the hour that man can approach to that tree. So, alright, the next thing then is judgment, falling in line.

Okay, now there is no decision, or declaration, or allotment, or meting (m-e-t-i-n-g) meting out of merit, or disfavor, reward or punishment, that can be proffered without a former word as basis, and that basis a truly revealed Word. That’s exactly right.

And then, let’s go a little further: the one that’s doing it had better be able to read the hearts of men to get the right guy.

Well, I got a question for you: Was that done in this hour or wasn’t it? And who sat there doing it?

What is a discerner? A judge! All right, who was it allowed to manifest it? A prophet! What was here? The prophet was here, and I speak of God being His Own Prophet. See?

Okay, now, a standard, a plumb line, a guide, a rule, even unto principles and methods, or precept and example.

Now, the Old Testament is plumb full of precept and example. “These things written for our admonition,” as examples unto us.

Our own prophet William Branham came and showed by precept and example. There’s two ways of teaching, example and precept, and you better not separate the one from the other. See, you got to go together.

All right, “Line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little there a little.” See, and vindicated so that men fell backward.

In other words, there was a complete revelation by the Holy Spirit and vindicated to be so that boggled men’s minds and threw them back.

Now listen, don’t think… oh come on brother/sister, let’s get this nailed down pat. I may not get out, I feel pretty good sitting down here, just pray I don’t stand up. It’s going to take off. Listen, here’s what Paul said:

See, stood right there vindicated, and crucified him. And you got the same thing right now. See? It always runs in scriptural continuity.

We’ve always had precept and example. Jesus gave the precept, He said, “I am, if you don’t believe I am, you’ll die in your sins.”

And then He said, “Now, hold it, you don’t believe that, but you watch the works, then you go out and do the same works, or find somebody that can do them, then go to him.” And they wouldn’t do it, so they went to hell.

And one day, Simon the sorcerer tried the same thing, and he said, “I’ll give you money, he said, that I may have the gift of God.”

And you know what Peter said, “To hell with your money.”

That’s exactly what Peter said. I may shock you, but you better know it. People are just too nice. Yeah, I got that… yeah, I got that, that’s exactly the finest Greek translator in the world, Dr. Phillips. That’s exactly what Peter said.

You say, “That word is perdition.” The word’s hell. And I don’t mean “to hell with your money,” like you say, “to hell with you, because I don’t like you.” I’m putting it exactly where it is.

All right, what’s the legalist trying to do? Trying to buy immortality, and where are you going to end up? I’ll tell you where your doctrines are going to burn, it’s going to burn in hell, because that’s where they’re going.

Oh, if this tape ever gets out, I’ll really be black balled now, sure, because they ain’t got the guts to say it.

They’ll tell all kinds of lies and everything else under filth, but they won’t stand up with God. What about a God that cast’s men into hell? Oh, what about it?

I’m not going to do it, God’s going to do it. And He’s already said it right here, and Peter saw it coming down the road. Perish, absolutely. Where is it going to perish? In the Lake of Fire.

It would be alright if some people could just get down to Hades and sit there, but it’s like a fire coming on top of Hades. But, don’t ever sell God short for one minute, because you can’t do it.

All right, Alpha is always the prophet. It’s got to start with the Word, for Word alone explains man’s conditions. Word doesn’t only explain man’s condition, the Word explains man.

You got all these phony psychiatrists out there, why? Because the preachers failed their job.

It took men like Dr. Menenger to come down and say, “As long as sin plays along the nerve lines of any human being,” he said, “they’re in trouble.” Absolutely. They got psychological problems.

He said, “We need preachers to pronounce men in sin as sinners and go to God and get help.” And Menenger is one of the greatest psychiatrist that ever lived.

I thing he might be still living, maybe be dead by now. But, I’ll tell you, it’s just too bad a bunch of those other fellows are living. And now the church’s got to have psychiatrists, and business agents. Fap!

I can tell you one thing, if we can’t take somebody that’s just almost half way there, and do any jobs that the church requires and leave the rest to the Holy Ghost, we might as well close the doors. Just forget it.

Alpha is always the prophet. It’s got to start with the prophet before it turns judge. It’s got to start with the Word, for it’s the Word alone that explains man that sets forth God. God’s dealing with man. It’s got to take a Word which is a revelation.

Okay, let’s go back to,

Okay, let’s go to,

Now, you’ll notice one place is the prophet, the next place is a judge. You can’t have a judge without a prophet. You can’t have a decree without a word. There is no way, no way whatsoever.

Okay, then onto verse 22 of the same chapter.

All right, Omega is always the Prophet turned Judge. Now, I don’t mean omega in a final sense of the word. See?

But, I mean that Word has got to come someplace at sometime where it becomes definitive to the point of a decree. See? That’s Omega I’m talking about.

I’m not talking about the Omega of the great Creator Who becomes now the great Destroyer, or reconciler, whatever else. I’m talking now in terms of a word. See? Not executor.

I’m talking in terms of word and judge, and that’s exactly as far as the Word goes. You follow what I’m trying to say? You might be a little difficult for you to understand this.

Look, please don’t find it difficult, it’s simple as a-b-c. If the judge is a real judge, then he knows the word about the case. Now, that’s as far as he goes to tell you what the word said.

It says an alternative, what the word has decreed. What must follow, what must happen, but he doesn’t make it happen. He sets in machinery that which causes it to happen.

So alright, we’re looking in terms of this Word the precept, Omega is always the Prophet turned Judge. The executor or performer is not the supreme, but the judge. Now, that went over your head.

But listen carefully from what I just said. The executor or performer is not the supreme, but the judge is supreme, because he starts or stops the authoritative power. The judge says, “execute, don’t execute.”

Now, you say, “Alright, the governor is the one that goes and he seems to have more power than the judge.” That’s only the case of a fact of what we’re looking at. It seems, but it’s not so. See?

The governor can give clemency. Oh, what do you think God did when He was outraged? See? But, with God, clemency has already been granted through Jesus Christ. See?

Now remember, a governor can be pretty rotten and stinky. What’s this one I hear about, I don’t know, I didn’t even hear about it, but oh, oh he came down and told us how this governor in Tennessee was picked up and a bunch of judges and things with him, because they were paroling prisoners and giving pardon’s for money.

Now, why do you think Mr. Ford pardoned Mr. Nixon? I don’t know. I’m not in Mr. Ford’s books, but I’m going to tell you something: that’s not a true example of what we’re going into. That’s man messing around. That’s the church messing around.

I’m talking about God, and God has to abide by His Word. So therefore, the Word is superior to the power. Huh? Yes, you bet It is, come on.

See, you’re going to sit here to do, bunch of legalists then should begin to see something’s. God can’t act apart from His Word. I don’t care how big God is. And God doesn’t care how big He is. He stands behind His Word to perform It. See?

So, when you get a prophet in the land, you better be understanding, that that prophet, that that prophet will one day turn judge. He said, (Jesus said) “the Word judges you.”

I wonder where you can get that? I think that’s John 8. I don’t know, I’m not smart like these preachers that know the Bible. I wish I was, but I’m sorry. Maybe it’s not John 8 might even be John 6, I don’t know where it’s at. Now, could be even in Matthew for all I know, I’ll find it someday, I’ll make a note of it. It won’t matter anything it’s the truth, I gave you the truth I paraphrased it, it’s still the truth.

Okay, now then, God always is His Own Prophet. God is always His Own Judge. Therefore, because He is Who He is, He is also His Own executor, because “God executeth judgment.” Bible says so.

Thus He has said, “And shall not He bring it to pass.”

Now, we’ve been hitting which we must hit, which is the negative aspect, because the negative is in a pre-eminence over the positive by virtue of size.

In other words, four billion people on earth, not one billion are supposed to be Christians, maybe not one of a million out of the billion is born again.

So, by virtue of the negative. “Many more are the children of the desolate, than she that has a husband.” The preponderance of tares over wheat and chaff and stalk over wheat is overwhelming.

Now, I’m sure you ever had the privilege I had, if you called the privilege being a kid, you know, sixty years ago. Which of you is privilege of privilege.

And for some years we never had combines, we had thrashing rigs. And I remember as a kid we had a little puny granary, may be ten feet by eight feet, by about twelve or thirteen feet and six feet high and a roof on it.

And you beside it was a straw stack that you could have hid fifty grain bins in. In other words, the size of the harvest to destruction was myriads times greater than the size of the harvest unto Eternal Life.

“Who’s fan is in His hands thoroughly purge His floor, gathers wheat in the garner, but burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” That’s Judge turned Executor based upon a Word. See, okay.

Now, I said the preponderance in this hour sorrowfully has been negative.

Okay, let’s turn positive. Let’s go to,

Now, I want you to notice here that this Word is in no way inferior to, and will in no wise fall less, or not be fulfilled than this Word over here, “In the day of the eating thereof, [dying] thou shall surely die.”

It’s the same God with the same mouth, yeah, that gives one Word irrevocable. So, there is an irrevocable Word for a people to replenish the earth, to subdue it, to preside over it and to eat of the fruit of the land.

Okay, let’s go now to Genesis, I’m sorry, 1 Corinthians 15 and he says beginning at verse 49:

Now remember, Abraham in that day he could lift up his hand toward the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth. Now, God can do what He wants to do with His Own.

He’s told us, He said, “Can I not do with My own what I want to do.” Now, God wants to do this, and He is determined to do it.

So therefore the Word in the prophet which is the positive must one time come before the Judge. Yeah!

Because somebody’s got to align to It, and judging my brother/sister is not only concerning disfavor and punishment, but It is merit and reward.

And God said, “I am your exceeding great reward Abraham. I am your shield, I’m going to see that you get it.”

Now, you’ll notice in here we’re promised immortality, because “this corruptible puts on incorruptibility, this mortal, immortality,'” and death and the grave were passed over.

And when death and the grave were passed over you go to Revelation, chapter 19 and verse 11, you see the Mighty One coming back. And then in verse 14 with Him:

So, you see Him coming back with the Bride, and they are going to take over the earth and they’re going to run it. You say, “How do you know?” Because It says here in chapter 20 of Revelation verse 4:

All right, now: what is the judgment concerning that? The judgment is: “who are going to be priests and who are going to be kings.” That’s all. They’re going to be priests. That tells you.

Now, how did that take place? God chose a tribe of Levites. Now, He chose singles amongst the Gentiles so we become the priesthood unto Almighty God.

All right, let’s go to,

Now, what are you going to do with the twelve manner of fruits? You’re going to eat them. So, what’s man going to do? He’s going to come back to eating.

He’s going to control everything that’s upon earth, and he’s going to be evidently a vegetarian, although, if he wants to eat fish, I guess he could, because Jesus rose from the dead and He ate a fish.

Now, I don’t look for fish eaters in the Millennium, but it could be. Don’t ask me what’s going to happen, I’m just going to wait and find out. And if we’re supposed to eat fish, we’ll eat fish. But, at that time He did say they would eat off the land.

And here you can see, even in New Jerusalem they eat off the land. Now, the body will absorb it no doubt. You won’t have to worry about sanitary conditions, because everything is sanitary.

We won’t be eating like a bunch of hogs. How can anybody eat Manna and even his feet didn’t stink? He didn’t sweat, and smelled sweaty and stinky. His clothes didn’t wear out. If a shot of Manna could do that, what about a shot of immortality?

Listen, if a Bread that came down from Heaven, little pebbles could do it, what about ‘The Bread’ that came down from Heaven? If that man eat shall never die! That couldn’t happen until this hour!

You couldn’t eat the Word till this hour that would keep death from your door. Oh, merciful God, then people don’t even know the first thing about the Presence.

I’m going to tell you people something: you’re in for a surprise one of these days. Because, I’m going to have a church service here, and you’ll be sitting here and you better be ready to discuss and know what the Presence is all about.

I’m not trying to scare you, I’m just telling you. Because see, I’m not fooling. To me there’s a reality brother/sister, and I’m not above you, and I’m not above anybody, and I’m not unique from anybody.

But, I tell you, by the grace of God committed to me, there is a Presence that we’re dealing with.

A Reality, that a lot of people don’t have they don’t a clue from the telephone calls and what I get. And the letters and everything else, they don’t have a clue to what I’m saying.

Now, I’m not saying that I can force It down your neck, don’t get that for one minute, but, I just wonder. And I’m not wondering at you, I’m just wondering. I’m not wondering about anybody here.

How do I know what’s in your heads or what’s in your hearts? You know what’s in my head and heart. All you got a better chance of knowing about me, than I got knowing about you. I’m not just transparent, I’m stupid.

Okay, let’s go to 2 Timothy 4:8. I’ve tipped my hands, there’s no hand left to tip. 2 Timothy, the 4th chapter verse 8:

Now listen, there is laid up a crown of righteousness which the Lord the Righteous Judge shall give me at that day, and not to me only, but all them that love His Epiphaneia, the glory of His Presence coming into the Church until It’s here. It’s started that way.

It was so tremendous It struck Paul blind, see? Why? Because he was full of the Holy Ghost now.

And the blinding Light that He’ll Appear in the sky as a flash, and they’ll hide and they’ll cower and they’ll curse. Sure, starts right here in a Light, and all those who love the Light come to the Light.

I said the other day, so many people are scared. Look, I get scared… I see they’re scared about this Message. I looked, and I still look at things and see, you’ll almost quiver. I get scared. I’m not scared like I was.

I come right to the Word and say, “The prophet said it, hallelujah, it’s not going to scare me, I’m going to come right to It.” That’s when the Blood goes into action.

Oh, come on brother/sister, you ain’t going to get no preaching out of me. Let’s see if I can find this, man, I tell you, I just get so happy with the things of the Lord here.

Okay:

Now, people got this all turned around, they think they’re so full of love, and so this and that you don’t do things that are bad and not so nice. Brother Branham categorically said, “We’ve got brotherly kindness which is sticky.”

Now, it says here: “If you walk into that Light, you’ve come to the Light.” See?

Notice, the Blood cleanses. People are scared to come to the Light. They don’t even know for instance what I believe, so they smart off and call It the puke doctrine. I don’t call theirs a puke doctrine. No.

These men that believe certain things that I never could agree, I listen to their tapes, I was honorable before them, I took their references when I couldn’t see it I went straight to God.

And I’m in the Light, because I’m not afraid to come to the Light. Then the Blood cleanses. See? That’s where you get your victory. The things of Almighty God, sure.

Now, okay, the Righteous Judge is going to give us therefore we then must be Word believers. Because, as the Light comes in we’re closer and closer to the glory which shall be revealed.

And Brother Branham said, “Oh, what a glory that will be.”

And he said, “Now, we behold Him.” Now, we’re behind the veil. Now we’re taking up the bread, the show-bread that lies in the shekinah glory that cannot be worm-eaten. That’s the glory you’re looking at.

“Oh,” people say, “I don’t believe it.” Fine, don’t believe it. You say, “Brother Vayle, you should be sympathetic.” What are you talking about?

You want me to go down into Egypt like Moses went down? And he said, “We’ll folk, bless God, I finally got it all worked out.” He said, “I got it all worked out.”

“What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean?”

“Well,” he said, “We’re just going to convert old Pharaoh,” he said, “bless God, convert old Pharaoh to Abraham and he’ll let us all go.” Fap!

He came down eighty years of age and stood there strong, and he said, “Pharaoh won’t let you go,” he said, “but we’ll make him let you go in the name of our God, and he’ll die doing it.”

Why didn’t he get him converted? What do you want me to do? Convert somebody God doesn’t convert? You can cavort but you can’t convert! Yeah! Well, phfft! so much for that.

Look-it, let’s face it, we’re not babies anymore, we’re not tiny little infants anymore. Brother Branham said in 1956 he quit praying for America.

“Aw, Brother Branham don’t quit praying.”

He said, “Yes, she’s gone.”

She had her chance in ’56 and she blew it. Twenty seven years ago. What am I supposed to do? You know what people want, they want Him to come down and get crucified over again.

People must think that God is like that guy that cut his thumb off in the buzz saw. And the fellow said, “How in the world did you do it?”

He said, “Like this!” And his other thumb went off.

Oh, come on, I reduce it to raw sarcasm on purpose. What are people thinking of? “Once for all, He died unto sin.”

And once for all we are born again to live forever. And every servant that God chastises and trains up as a child, should be trained up. That’s right. Okay, let’s keep moving.

Let us never fool ourselves into the false hope, that God will ever satisfy anything, or anybody but His Own Word.

God cannot be satisfied outside the satisfaction of His Own Word, which God Almighty satisfied Himself when He became His Own sacrifice.

I’ll explain that sometime.

Let’s go back to, Isaiah 53, all right, got to find the right verse. Okay, we’ll get here in verse 10:

God satisfies Himself in the performance of His Word. God is satisfied through Jesus Christ’s death and Resurrection, so you and I don’t pay a price.

Now, I know I should be all sweet and honey and say so nice to melt everybody’s heart. But look, I’m not dealing with a bunch of sinners here, I dealing with a bunch of hard-headed Christians. That is hard-headed as I am.

And we’re going to pound some… we’re going to pound some grace and glory in this morning, with the old sledge-hammer of words, and the cutting sword. Because, I need this the same as you do. See?

We’re prone to over balance. You get a balanced wheel off in your car, and the thing will fly to pieces. You get your tires out of balance; they’ll be full of holes in no time. Rip the rubber off and you’re finished.

That’s why you’ve got to come to temperance. See? That’s why the fruit of the spirit is also meekness. Patience is coming in there, because you’re beginning to see both sides of the coin.

You understand how God does things. We cannot fool ourselves. God will never satisfy even Himself, outside of His Own Word. See?

Now, the Word of God, or ‘Thus saith the Lord’ cannot pass away. Cannot be put on a shelf in any way, or, in anyway disregard it. Or reversed, or even delayed, or accelerated. It takes God Himself to do it exactly how He wants it done.

He said, “I hasten My Word to perform it.” He said, “Stand over and do it.” He said, “I will not delay in My promises.”

In other words, there is nothing that God Himself ever does apart from His Word. How can He? How can He when He is the Word? See?

Now, there is not one jot or one tittle, all will be accounted for, and all will be fulfilled in a season. That goes for both sides of the Word. It’s fulfillment in the negative and in the positive.

God cannot have a negative without a positive, because He could not have a positive… He couldn’t have a positive without a negative, sure, and He couldn’t have a negative without a positive. And the positive always came first.

Alright, man does not want to believe that. Man has never wanted to believe that. Always it has been, “Oh God really doesn’t mean it, I can persuade Him different. I can get out of it. I can pray.” People say, “Well, maybe it’s alright, I can just go to the Blood.”

I’m going to tell you something about the Blood. That Blood will justify you, absolutely wash away your sin, but It won’t eradicate the fact that you did it, and you may have to pay for it right here, and you will. Yep.

It started back there in Genesis 2:16-17, which I read to you. He said, “Don’t eat of it, that’s the day you die.”

It was denied in Genesis 3:1-7 when the serpent came to Eve, and said to Eve, “Well, now, he said, look honey let’s face it, God really didn’t mean that.”

And she said, “He didn’t?”

“Why,” he said, “no!”

Now, the prophet said, “There’s one God.” And a prophet cannot speak of his own mind.

Oh God, I wish I was in that shape, but I’m going to get there. Because the more I get to this Word, the more I cannot speak my mind. It’s got to be His mind. We’re in the mind-age.

The greatest battle right now is bringing that mind under the mind of the prophet. Which is the mind of God. The prophet and God have one mind, they have one Word, they have one tongue. They have one voice.

Now, so she (Eve) said, “What do you mean?”

“Well,” he (Serpent) said, “I’m certainly glad you asked the question, because I’ll tell you how to fulfill the Word.”

Now, wouldn’t work. He got them all messed up. Because listen: there is always two ways to do anything, and I don’t care what it is, a right way and a wrong way. And a whole lot in between. And you know what’s in between? The wrong way.

Now, Adam and Eve got doing it the wrong way, because they were not to supply the bodies. God was to bring the body out of the dust. God was to do it. He said, “Let there bring forth the beast.”

The beast was already there, just get clothed. Man was there, so He clothed them in dust. And God was going to bring forth the bodies.

So they stopped Him doing it, and now He’s going to bring forth the bodies anyway. Not by sex, but by a miracle, “creating again” as Brother Branham said.

Okay, it was denied in Genesis 3:1-7. What happened? You find It in Genesis 5:5, Adam died. Sure, he didn’t live a thousand years, he died.

Now, look at our time. Look at the Church Ages where it started, and where it’s going.

Okay, let’s go to Revelation 2:2-4. Now watch:

The church had started her way down. “She became dilatory” as Brother Branham said.

Now, she disbelieved this prophetic utterance which John gives, which is the utterance of Jesus the Christ in the mouth of John. And It’s the same thing that Paul said in Acts, the 20 chapter. So, let’s take a look at It.

Now:

They had every single they needed at that hour, had it been the hour of the Rapture. Yes, siree, no Church Age has ever failed, but it wasn’t that hour. Why? Because, the Word wasn’t ready to be fulfilled.

“He that liveth and believeth in me shall never perish. Do you believe this?” I bet your life I do. You bet I believe It.

Like old Sarah, oh listen, I love the Bible, because I get a lot of comfort in old gals like Sarah. Stood there and laughed in God’s face, then called Him a liar.

The Bible turns around said, and Sarah received strength to conceive because she counted Him faithful. Hallelujah, oh I’m glad I got a God like that. My wife is just as bad.

I never could figure out how she… she doesn’t lie for me, but she almost lies for me. Well, she does lie for me in this respect, she says I’m an nice guy. She’s crazy. Nice guys never win. I’m dizzy this week from doing any good turns.

The Word of God distinctly said that she conceived strength to conceive, because judged Him faithful. He had to rebuke her to do it. Oh, you of little faith, you’ve got it made.

As Daddy Bosworth said, he said, “Never doubt your faith. If you must doubt, doubt your doubts, they’re unreliable.”

All right, listen: He says here:

Men are coming into this Message in order to make something out of It for themselves, a following, a church, a name and God knows what. And men amongst us has risen up to take authority. Nicolaitism.

You see why I won’t go anywhere, I just stay home. I got enough trouble staying here with you people. And you don’t cause me any trouble, it’s the guys on the outside.

Who knows when it’ll come here. I don’t know. Up to this point we’re doing good. To the deacons, keep the door there. Keep locking the door. The password is ‘Parousia’. Not exactly.

All right, he said, “I know, grievous wolves will come in of your own selves.” Now, he said, “Remember, for three years I cease not to warn everyone.” Brother Branham didn’t have that kind of time. It wore out.

Okay, it went to 2 Corinthians 11, where she was no longer a virgin bride. It became a rank harlot that God said He would judge and destroy in Revelation 17:5-6, and Revelation 18:5-8.

Make no mistake about it. Revelation 2:4-5, the weakness, that little strain church ends up as Revelation 3:14-18, where It says,

“Unto the [messenger] of Laodicea… because you’re lukewarm and say, I’m rich, increased in goods, and have need of nothing, and don’t know that you’re wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. And you need raiment that you may be clothed, so the shame of your nakedness do not appear; become absolutely manifested.”

In other words, she’s caught in sexual intercourses which is idolatry. There is a pornography in the world church system.

They have exposed themselves to everything, until anybody knows that knows the Roman Catholic church, and even the Protestants, because got nothing to talk about, have become completely inundated with spiritism and idolatry.

And the Protestants and Catholics see, think nothing of practicing spiritism and call it God. Even a fellow down there in South Carolina that used to believe in Brother Branham, he went into spiritism of the lowest degree I have ever seen in my life.

Now, how are you going to get right out of this mess? There is no way but judgment. That’s right. No way. And that’s negative and positive, because God’s going to bring a Bride out of here.

Now, I’m sure you noticed and because we’ve read It many times in 2 Corinthians 11:2-4, Paul is speaking about the marriage of Christ to a virgin.

When Paul said, “I have espoused you to Christ,” he was actually saying, “I stood there between the two of you; and I was the minister that brought the vows and heard the vows from both sides why you pledged yourselves out.” But, he said He remained faithful and you didn’t.

But, He’s got a Bride that He’s going to purify by the washing of water in this end-time. He’s got a Bride He’s going to bring back to earth with Him clothed in His Own virtuous holiness, His righteousness.

In Revelation 19:7-9, let’s take a look at It. This is not where He’s coming back on a white horse, this is the Word.

How ready was she back there in the First Age? She wasn’t, she lost out. Her virginity was gone. Her virginity is now restored.

There you are. That Bride is spoken of in,

The Church originally was a virgin Bride. Make no mistake about it, you can find that in Acts 2:1-4. Acts 2:37-41, 42 to 47. Acts 13:48. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14. Ephesians 4:4-6. You can find it all in there. Talks about that beautiful Church.

But, Satan got to that virgin Bride just as he got to Eve. He worked through her mind, and changed the Word of God to her. And with false precepts to follow, she became false and delinquent to God.

Now, listen carefully: the Church’s Husband is Christ Who is the Word, we can prove this. For Isaiah 54:5 says:

And in John 1:3, It says:

So therefore, the Word, the Husband and the Bride get back together again. They get back together again in, Hebrews, the 4th chapter and in verse 12.

Now notice: the Judge who sits there, see? interpreting the Word, revealing It that has already been given, see? you notice that He Himself is not doing It per se, but the Word is doing It.

So therefore, the judge would have to be a prophet, and the prophet would have to turn judge. The discerning is going on.

And that was proven therefore, that the Word in our midst is the Judging Word. The prophet doesn’t judge, it’s the Word that judges.

Then the judge who sits there per se, is not the judge, it’s the Word that has already judged.

That’s why He said, “You’re already judged.”

Look, the White Throne judgment that let some people come in brother/sister, doesn’t let them come in as though it grants them a special grace. The Word has already set it in order, and It is merely opening a door. That’s all.

All right now, John saw the Judge in the Day of the Lord. And Judge and Lord mean the same thing. So, let’s go to 1 Peter 3:5-6, and we’ll get you out of here now.

Sorry I’m this late, but I told yea sitting down, just a good thing you didn’t stand up. All right, 1 Peter 3:5-6.

Why? Because, he’s the master of the house. He’s the builder of it. He’s the provider of it. He’s the life of it.

As the woman supplies a certain amount, which of course is pulp in a certain way, so it is the man God provides for us as the Master as the Lord.

Now notice, we go to Genesis 18:12. Now, she called Abraham ‘lord’, and of course 18:12 is on… It says here:

There it is. Absolutely we understand, thus John saw the Day of the Lord, which is the Day of the Husband. And that’s good!

Why? Because, the Husband has come to get a Bride to divorce the false wife, and to destroy the false wife; and to exalt the true wife.

And I’m going to tell you, if that One that’s here is our Husband, the Day of the Lord, that’s here.

See, the Day of the Lord cometh with wrath. But remember, also, “unto you that fear My name, shall the Son of Righteousness arise with immortality.”

The wings of beating wings of God, like a fan, fanning out and fan away the chaff. And let me tell you, they scatter when it comes to this true Word.

I saw it way back in Pentecost when I was a sort of Oneness, Trinitarian caught between them. I knew that both of them had some truth, but God knew what it was. I didn’t, they don’t know either. I was caught between them.

But, I knew a little bit about Oneness, there had to be one God. I knew water baptism wasn’t to be fooled with. So I baptized correctly, but my theology wasn’t were it is today.

And I remember Brother Branham came on the scene, and you talk about a demonstration of healing in the wings of God which was this great revival, which was to fore run the literal coming of our Lord and God in a physical form, after we go up there, and we come back, which was at the same time proof that He was here.

As soon as everybody heard that William Branham believed in baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and one God, they said, “Jesus Only,” and sneered and walked off.

The Word of God in Him Who is the Word, here now, that became the wings that fan, and I’m going to tell you, It fanned the chaff plumb out of existence. Now, people can do what they want about it.

You say, “But, Brother Vayle, I do believe they’re going alright.”

Well, you tell God about it, I don’t have any permission to say that. I’m sorry, I don’t have any permission. The only permission I got is this: they turned down a Word vindicated prophet and many made him the devil, which is blasphemy. Now, you do what you want with that!

You say, “What about the rest?” I’ll tell you about the rest, “the foundation of God stand assure having this seal, the Lord knows them which are His,” and we had better know too.

Yeah, we had better know too, because we better know who our Master is. And that Master is the Husband. Now, let that Master come home. Let a man come home to his wife.

Does he have any standards outside of his own word?

“Well,” said little Sis. Maude to her husband Jerome, “now Jerome dear, Zechariah next door he lets his wife go to bridge parties with slacks.”

“Well,” he said, “I’m not Zechariah dear, I’m Jerome dear, [laughter] and I am your lord and master in this home here, you will not go to bridge parties and wear those slacks.”

And she said, “Well then I’ll have my own parties.”

He said, “You go ahead, the divorce is on.” Now, that’s pretty tripe, but that’s pretty true.

Now, the prophet came on the scene, and ever since then women have been busting wide open.

And I was the guy that laughed at the prophet talking about the poor man who’s wife was running around with other men and leaving him with the kids.

Let me tell you, that has happened where more women are leaving then the men. So, let the women begin examine themselves a little more closely to see if they’re in any kind of faith at all.

Women who kick up their heels and decide they know more than their husbands. Woman who decide their words a little better, because they’ve been to some preacher or some priest.

I would advise those women, and I’d advise every woman to listen carefully what the prophet said, about everything the prophet said. Because a woman types the church.

And I would advise every man to listen carefully what Brother Branham said absolutely about the Headship of Almighty God, so a man might try to fit in that mold.

My advice would be, and I’ll tell you very frankly and that is my own pronouncement on the subject of this hour is: the prophet has done come and gone, the Word now lies in the hands of the Judge.

It has swung positively to the Judge. And He said, there is One that judges you, even Moses’ law. There is One that judges, even now, and you know what that judgment is?

Oh, yeah, the churches said, “Oh no, no, no, we can’t believe this is it. No, no, we will not go on with It.” They’re just like old Eve, just like old Eve.

Hebrews 6.

No more hand in the cookie jar. No more saying, “I’m sorry,” no more chance to change the mind. Oh, these fence sitters, that go this way, that way, sit on a fence, don’t go with the whole Word of God.

Listen, fall on one side of the fence and get it over with. I can tell you one thing, and let’s get this flat, if there is any place in the church that two people can get along, it will be a believer and an unbeliever, but never a make-believer. He’s the worse of the works.

Let our church be divided down the middle, it ain’t going to work. Even though I want it to work, it ain’t going to happen. This church will have, if it doesn’t have now, God knows I could be phony myself.

You don’t know, and I don’t know, we care less. But, this church like every church has to have believer, make-believer, and unbeliever.

And if we don’t have them now, we’re soon going to get them. Oh, don’t worry, yeah, you can say what you want.

You can say, “Hey, don’t bug me man,” but they’ll be around to bug you. Try telling that to the devil. “Why,” he said, “my job is bugging.”

Yep, he’ll come around and tell you. He said, “Don’t only you can’t fool with me, because I ain’t fooling with you.”

“You say, you ain’t fooling with me? What’s going on?”

“I’m dead serious, because I want you dead.”

You know, the blacks rose up and said, “Let’s get white-ty. Let’s take a dozen or twenty with us when we go.” The devil is going to take billions when he goes.

I’m not saying anything against the blacks, but I’m just telling you flat, they made the statement, “let’s take them.” The devil said, “I’m going to take all I can take with me.” He’s going to do it.

All right, there you are brother/sister, it’s Righteous Judge. Prophet turned judge. The Day of the Lord.

No siree, you cannot talk of judgment without healing in His wings, and you cannot talk about healing in His wings, which is a judgment outside the other.

You’ve come to the place where Peter stands up again. William Branham is up and he said, “Your money perish with you.” He said, “I’ll see it burn where you’re going to burn.”

And you know that’s true. That’s true. Where’s that head of gold going to be? That old Babylonian head, it’s going to be down there.

Our Head of gold brother/sister is going to sit on the Throne, and we’re going to sit with Him. We’re right there today. Look, immortality is here, or I don’t know what it’s all about.

Look, either it’s right here on our door step, or we have been sold somewhere. Something monumental, God knows, was Brother Branham dropped down here, not from his mother’s womb, but from Mars?

Did he come down here from some unknown planet? Are there strangers out there in space that want to help us? Hogwash! There was a stranger in Bethlehem’s manger and He’s still a stranger, and He’s still trying to help us.

And the Holy Spirit is down here making everything propitious to bring everything under Him where man can be reconciled in God in a beautiful kingdom down the road brother/sister. And He sent a vindicated prophet like He’s always done, laid it on the line.

And let me tell you, not one elect is going to be deceived. Not one elect is going to fall. There isn’t one that won’t come in. There isn’t one that will not be glorified.

Let’s rise.

You say, “What’s this Message all about mister?” And encourage and let you know the hour in which you stand. The deep and mysterious things of Almighty God.

What do you think it was all about? Huh? I ain’t going to let you go home yet. Stand up and enjoy yourselves. Cant’ enjoy yourself, endure yourself. That’s what I’ve been doing. Endure myself, and not too good at it.

I’ll read you what Brother Branham said, because I can’t quote you word for word, and he says this:

The Seventieth Week of Daniel 08-06-61

[28 ]  The Spirit of wisdom comes into the church to make known to the church by the revelation of the Holy Spirit… [Not William Branham, but the Holy Spirit Himself will bring a revelation,]

…bringing the church in, revealing what day we’re living in. Just the same as Gabriel come to Daniel, the Holy Spirit comes to the church in the last days to reveal these great, deep, secret things of God.

Why are you here today? The great deep secret things of God. To know the hour we’re living in. The Bread that’s going to take you over. That’s… you’re not feeding on the words of a man.

Brother Branham said, “You’re feeding on the Body Word of the Lord Jesus Christ.” That Word which is His flesh right now, that is Life.

And remember, “He that liveth and believeth in me, shall never perish, do you believe this?” Absolutely.

You say, “What if I die?” Fine, He’ll raise you. You see, we’re not going to go a culture, because you believe the Word of God. I can’t buy that.

Okay, let’s pray.

Heavenly Father, we just praise and thank You again for mercy and grace, the love of Almighty God shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, for the good things, Lord, that You

have pre-disposed at our benefit. Just to think, Lord, that a soul awakened by the Holy Spirit touching that little molecule, microcosm down there within us, that little Seed.

That little Seed needs to be brought quickly to attention. Absolutely come to life, and everything say ‘amen’ to the revealed Word of God.

Lord, and not being afraid to come to the Word. O God, we’ve see it down through the ages, for even Paul said, after fourteen years he went to Jerusalem wondering.

And John the Baptist said, “Is this the right One?” There’s going to be a people I believe with all my heart are going to say, “This is it.”

And it won’t be the gross outworking of a man’s mind. It won’t be something the devil put in there, but, it will be You, Lord, having circumcise the hearts and the mind, until there is just one element that stands in a Bride. That is that Word! And not one doubt.

Not one doubt, but knows, like Job said, “I’ll stand on this earth in flesh with my Redeemer.”

There’s a group standing here that knows that this is that generation that will not pass away until healing in the wings has spread immortality.

Father God, I’m very happy to be a part to that. If I was no more than just an onlooker, I would have to say I’m happy to know at least I’ve got that far. That I could be somewhere in a company that will be there in that Great Day rejoicing.

As the Scripture said, “He that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom, and He that has the Bridegroom is the Bride.” Yes, we would stand there and rejoice.

But, Lord, we believe that in spite of ourselves we can now… we don’t look to ourselves, but we look to You.

Our eyes are upon You and we’re a part of that glorious company, small but magnificent. For omnipotence is about to meet omnipotence.

It’s already met it, but not yet in such a way that it’s been fulfilled to do certain things which will be done here after. But, it has met with one thing at least, and that is that Word ‘fate’, everything needed to put us in a Rapture has been given us.

Lord, it’s been good to be here with Your people to look at the Word, just go into It, Lord God. And to rejoice in It, and not in ourselves. For we have nothing in ourselves and we care less.

That’s just we don’t look to ourselves anymore, because why would we? Why would we? We look to You, O God, and we thank You.

Now, heal the sick amongst us, Lord. Bring in a standard, O God, against the enemy it’s been raised amongst us, Lord, years ago, and it’s been going on since ’46 as never before. And the greatest thing of all immortality.

We have amongst us tonight, this afternoon, Lord, the whole, and the whole always contains the part. And we know that healing is a witness to the Resurrection and immortality. And the Word of immortality is now here.

He Who is Life is here. Therefore, it is no great thing to claim the healing of God, and we thank You for It. And rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory in it all.

Unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be all power and honor and glory through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

‘The Lord bless you.’
