The Spirit Of The Lord’s Day #01 *

Transcript In progress.

Audio is available now.

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, we’re again grateful to be here in Your Presence, knowing, Lord, that various things we’ve do not understand, we don’t understand Your ability to be here in Your Person the way it has been laid out to us, because we cannot fathom those things; because we’re creatures of space and time and that which is so ephemeral passing away.

But, Lord, we believe it and we found it to be true, because we know it is so. And we put our own thinking to one side and we’re happy to do that, and we appreciate Your Presence. Such a Presence that has not been known for such a thing as about to come to pass, but will come to pass.

Now guide us in Your Word, Lord, may we reverence You, honor You and be very, very sincere in the Name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, we’re going to continue with ‘The Day of the Lord’ and we’re going to go to Revelation 1:10 to take our text, or guide line you might say.

John says:

Now, we’re looking at the fact he said, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day.” Or, as it has been brought out in a more not exactly liberal, but expanded translation ‘I became to be’. I became in the Spirit on the Lord’s day.

And we saw that that was John literally entering into the time of the end in which we are now living.

Now, I’m going to make some remarks about the Spirit, or Spirit Itself that will likely go into and used later on even more than we’ll use it at this particular moment.

Now, number one: all spirit is life. Now, at least to the extent, or even to the extent of lower life. Now, we’re not going to touch botany life in that.

There are those who would believe that botany life is also a spirit. I don’t concede that it is, although there are some forms of life that would come so close to that you’d call ‘botany life’ that would qualify as a spirit.

But, sufficient to say that, that all spirit is life. Actually, any spirit designates life. Even germs which have a life, or spirits. You see a spirit of cancer, spirit of tuberculosis and those things there. They’re lower forms, but they are definitely in the realm of spirit.

And then there are higher forms of spirit. The spirit of the animal would transcend the spirit of butterflies and things like that, until you come to the spirit of man which would be perhaps the greatest next to God.

Now, number two: all spirit life, and we’ll call it spirit life manifest what kind of a life it is. Now, that’s another thing you have to watch and understand that all spirit life will have a particular essence, or nature which will be different from the other.

And it will manifest what lies in there. For instance, dog life, dog spirit life manifest different from a cat’s spirit life. They’re just simply different.

Number three: all spirit life has a basic nature that keeps it true and unchanging intrinsically so that it constantly remains that life, never becoming another life. But never forget that that life is manifesting physically, and all life manifests.

And that manifestation can and does change according to the chronology of the season of life. Which is turn manifests, or act out that spirit according to the life cycle it is in at that time.

For all life has a continual cycle, even when it comes to botany life, as it goes from seed to a process back to a seed over and over again in reproduction. Now, that was kind of a mouthful, because I punctuated with semi colons, dashes, and inverted comas and things like that.

But, we’ll go over that again: all spirit life has a basic nature that it keeps true to, never unchanging in its basic intrinsic form. It never changes.

Like Brother Branham says, “the seed doesn’t change, the spirit won’t change.”

Now remember, that that spirit will manifest, and to do it, it’ll come into a physical manifestation. And the manifestation can change, because it’s following a chronological pattern depending on the season that it’s running its course, whatever season or portion that is in.

And I’ll go over and over again, but the life, or the spirit itself won’t change. But, you will get within the cycle you will get manifestation which is different, but it’s the same life.

Now, number four: spirit or life remains invisible until it either makes a form for itself, or has a form or carrier made for it. Now, you understand that, it remains invisible unless it has a form.

Okay, now to proceed. God Himself is Spirit. He’s also Life, but He’s Spirit, He’s Spirit Life. And it is basically the same with Him because It says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today and forever,” He never changes.

And in Malachi 3:6, It says, “I am the Lord, I change not.” And He said, it’s a good thing I don’t, because then I would simply destroy man and all creation.

Now, these Scripture that we read, or quoted in Hebrews 13:8, and Malachi 3:6, refers to as intrinsic essential nature as might be described in 1 Timothy 1:17, “Now unto the King eternal, incorruptible, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever.”

Now, that’s exactly what we been saying. It’s eternal, there’s no change. Incorruptible, you can’t corrupt It. Invisible, you can’t see It. He’s the Only God.

All right, God Who is Spirit in His original form which is Life invisible, or Spirit invisible, began according to John 1:1 to form Himself into human flesh.

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

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”

That same One over a period of time manifested Himself before He manifested in flesh as Light, as Fire, as Cloud, as Angel, as human form, water, rock, perhaps whirlwind, and others.

Now, notice how He manifested Himself in Hebrews 1, beginning.

That literally says, God in various seasons, in various seasons of manifestation. And manifestation in relationship to us will have its full cycle.

And it will be different according to the season that Life is manifesting in, but It’ll be the same unchanging One. Because Israel couldn’t take that, that’s why they killed the Son.

See, they don’t know what you and I are talking about. They became stereotyped, although the Word is stereotyped that you can’t change It and showed this, they said, “no way.”

They couldn’t let their minds go. They couldn’t let their minds go to the Scripture. Unfortunately, they’d let their Scriptural minds go. That’s what always happens. That’s what we’re in danger now.

Okay, seasonal, the seasons gave way to the Son from the prophets. Because, the prophet was God to the people. That was the highest form.

For after all a Pillar of Fire without definition, or announcing His mission and clarifying His mission has no impact. Except, fear, bewilderment, chaos, denigration. Won’t work. There has to be a definition there.

All right, now let’s go to Titus 1:1-3. Now, there’s many times I can use this word ‘season’, but I’m not going to do it.

Now verse 3 says this in an expanded translation, and a proper translation:

And you will find manifestation is always a vital to the revelation of the Word. And you’ll notice that it’s in the private strategic area that a manifestation which can be a change in a form, brings to us in the physical and the spiritual this manifestation.

Now watch, let’s go back to Revelation 1. And he says here:

It’s better to say, “God gave a revelation of Jesus Christ unto Him.”

You’d say, “why would he need a revelation from God?”

Because God preceded Him. He said, “I came forth from God,” then God must have been the Progenitor.

So, now God is giving a revelation as I said, the Scripture is full of It, “Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten Thee.” See? “This day have I made you a priest after the order of Melchisedec.”

Who is this great ascending One? He is the King of glory, a revelation. Now, people stumble at that. Now, if Jesus we’re truly God, He wouldn’t need a revelation. Where do your three gods go to? Hogwash. Fap!

Now, I’m being a little derisive, but you better stick with me, because after derision, in truth is better than error and soft-soap that leads you to hell.

So God gave a revelation. And He made it evidently very manifest and what was there manifested was to be put into record.

And notice, “keep these things,” said John here, the Spirit in the last part of verse 3, “which are written for the epochal season is at hand.”

Now, not just a season, epochal season. Well, they’re all epochal seasons, let’s face it. They all form epics.

Which simply tells you that within the process of God being God which is object of adoration, worship, and involving us, there are seasons, and this is what nobody but us understands.

Now, whether you understand it or not, I’m sorry for you. It’s a tough one, because the human mind does not want seasons.

The human mind wants to blather along outside of the revelation of God stumbling in his own thoughts believing he’s alright, because he is familiar with and perhaps privy to in the sense it’s personal, certain Scriptures and he feels he has certain experiences. And because he does he bypasses reality.

Now, you go to the Jew, he had a sacrifice which was legitimate. And when John came the law was until John. Grace and truth coming by Jesus Christ.

They spit in the face of the Sacrifice and killed It anyway and denied It. Because they didn’t understand the epochal season.

They didn’t understand that God can and does as ordinary life manifest different being a same life in a season, and what God …?…

Okay, you follow me?

All right, here in Revelation 1:1-3, we read of an unveiling to take place at an imminent epochal season. An unveiling to take place at an imminent epochal season.

Now, Brother Branham categorically and stately, and truly stated, “God is revealed by the mask.”

He hides in the mask. And that which is hidden according to the literal translation of that verse of Scripture. “There’s nothing hidden that shall be revealed.”

It does not say that. It says, “Nothing is hidden, but for the purpose of being revealed.”

So, we’ve got a prophet that’s a hundred percent right with the Greek, everything else. We’ve got a bunch of phonies out here. Of course you’ve got to be dumb, you know, to get these things.

So, there is therefore a life which is spirit to be revealed or manifested as we read in verses 1 to 2. The revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave to him and then pass it on to somebody else to inform us of the time that this is going to happen.

All right, now, the season referred to is in Revelation 1:3b. It’s an epochal season, it’s at hand. It’s something that you look for evidently after the gospel and the six thousand years of man runs its course.

Because there is the definitive continuity revealed in Scripture to that place where He is going to come and setup a kingdom.

So, you have got to place this at a juncture wherein He will be manifested, the same Spirit, same One manifested, in a way that the cycle demands. Okay, just keep… that in mind.

All right:

The imminent epochal season. Imminent and preeminent season is the ‘Day of the Lord’. See? Alright, it is the season of the Lord’s Day.

Now, please note, it is a season which has a time limitation, a time spot whose climax is literally,

That is the descent to take over that is literally a climax. I do not place the climax later than that, because from this point, climax everything of a nature of a climatic is in it. Because if it weren’t for this, the rest wouldn’t obtain. Okay?

All right, thus the life, or spirit was manifesting, we’re talking back here in Revelation now, what John saw, what was involved at this period.

The same Life, “I’m Alpha and Omega, which was, which is, which is to come.” I’m all of it, I’m this, I’m that.

Now notice, that’s Hebrews 13:8. That is Malachi 3:6, the unchanging God, immortal and invisible, incorruptible.

Now watch: manifestation goes to verses 12-18.

Now, people guessed at this until Brother Branham categorically pinned it down that God revealed to the prophet the revelation of the hour of this One.

Because He’s the Son of man, He’s the Judge. All things committed to Him. And you seeing at this period the commission is granted an extant and being fulfilled. We see a Judge here.

Now, this manifestation of the putting on the physical, or visible, an apprehendable form, this manifestation is the chemistry, or the chemically compounded form of the spirit which is clearly what the nature, or the role of the spirit is at that time.

Just like in a plant, what’s a little sprout form? What’s a root form? What’s a stock form? What’s a stamen from? What’s this form, what’s that form? What’s this for, what’s that for? The way… an animal or a baby, or something is formed.

Now, it is a role of a judge in the Day of the Lord. Now notice, it was not John 1:29. “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” But, It’s the same One. The form had changed, that’s what the Book of Luke said. He appeared in another form. See?

Now, do you realize the Archko volume which is supposed to be pretty authentic says that Jesus Christ was a six foot chestnut red-haired man. But Brother Branham didn’t described Him as that. How come the apostle’s couldn’t tell? The people couldn’t tell what He was.

Was His form changed? The Bible says He was formed and changed. Now, I don’t know that He was six foot handsome chestnut red-haired man, but the Bible does say His form was changed, and that in the Greek is literal change of form.

And Brother Branham said they could not tell Him by looking at Him, because He didn’t appear the same, that you only Him by what He did.

Now, you better know what He’s doing at this end-time if you’re going to know if the form right or not. You better have something that’s going to give you a clue. Now, He acted according to Scripture.

Now, if He acts according to Scripture He cannot be the Judge until He’s a Prophet. The epochal season demands a prophet. See?

Okay, it was not John 1:29 the Lamb, neither was It Revelation 19:11-16, but it was as Brother Branham said, “before He entered into His Kingship from priest-lamb to Prophet-King, He was in the role of Judge. So, we look at a Judge.

So, the Day of the Lord produces… now watch carefully, because I’ve weaving you back and forth from the intrinsic spirit to the manifestation, and the manifestation must and can only contain what the spirit is at that hour. Not that the spirit changes, but the hour that manifest’s has changed.

So therefore, the life is visible, apprehendable, understandable, see, through a role, at the same time that which is manifested, or in role form, will carry the spirit that caused the role to manifest.

Plain English, if the husk of the wheat. It’s to nourish the wheat. That’s what it’s there for. It will nourish the wheat. See, that’s simple a-b-c.

So, the Day of the Lord produces a nature atmosphere that John entered into. He was there in spirit. He was a part of it in his spirit. He entered into the Spirit of the Judge.

Now, it is the atmosphere of the presiding Judge at the Day of the Lord. And that spelled out, or that is spelled out in,

All right, so here we see. As Brother Branham said, and I’ve always said it, He was Judge, not fully King. It is the Supreme Judge with the authority of life and death.

Because, John saw ok this as good as dead.

And He said, “I’ve got the keys of Hades, I can bring the dead out. And I’ve got the keys of the unseen.”

And John said, “This has never been seen that a group of people are going to get immortal standing right here.”

He said, “I’m Judge.”

All right, it is the hour of God, the Righteous Judge wherein He will make decisions to separate the wheat from the tares, and start proceeding for their disposition, or their disposal.

Matthew 3:12. Here’s the Lamb. Let’s take a look at verse 11.

Now, He’s all the predication is from Lamb to Baptizer to the Judge:

Because remember, John was going to go before the Lord God of Israel. This is your God, this is your King. This is the Lamb.

This is the Baptizer, the Giver of eternal life to seal her back. The Redeemer. This is He, High Priest, Intercessor, Mediator.

Now watch, fan is in His hand. What follows the baptism with the Holy Ghost? Fire! Purging! And the fan is in His hand to thoroughly purge His floor. The Holy Spirit here to do that.

What’s He going to do? He’s going to gather the wheat and burn the chaff. See?

The fan signifies the separation. How are you going to separate? Only a judge can separate. And only a judge has got the word. That’s why you couldn’t have a judge without being a prophet.

Then you couldn’t be a king without being a judge. And you couldn’t have worked redemption unless you were a Lamb and a High Priest, a Mediator Intercessor.

So, It’s the same Spirit, but you see, we’re dealing with the chronological areas and the impact are the same.

Now, whose fan is in His hand, see, thoroughly purge the floor, gather wheat in the garner, burn up the chaff, now listen, strange to say: this is the unknown hour based upon the greatest knowledge that any hour ever had.

And is in a direct parallel as the Omega to the Alpha when Jesus came and proved Who He was, showed Who He was, and they killed Him.

Now, I’m going to give you a Scripture on it. We’re going to go to Acts 3, and It says here in the middle of verse 19,

That is a tremendous healing revival. That authenticates the very Presence of Him Who was here in flesh. And It says, after that:

But, hold it, the revival is God gaining favor with the people, so they will know that He is here in order that He can send that One to restore them, and to bring them into the Wedding Supper, and those who don’t listen are destroyed.

Now, the greatest knowledge by manifestation and fulfillment which is irrefutable proof that God will not turn from it, …?… it’ll destroy nations for it.

When He does this, which He has done, He is the presiding Supreme Judge, and in His hand is the power of life and death. So the Day of the Lord had two tremendous spirits, ‘life and death’. Now, God alone has life. See?

All right,

What did he do? He gave him a quick resurrection. Raised him, so the Day of the Lord is as Scripture puts it so sternly, it is a day of wrath, a day of death. It is a day of judgment.

Now, thus we see the Day of the Lord brings a spirit of life and a spirit of death. Man must now face the issue of his disposition for it is that hour.

Now see, people don’t want to look at this strategic season, the epochal season.

Oh they say at this particular time according to Peter, “Why, time is going on, going on, going on, going on, going on. Why He’s Present, so what?”

Oh, why is He Present? You give me a reason. This is what they don’t look at. They don’t understand seasons. They think there’s one season, Pentecostal.

Then suddenly, “whoopee, it’s over.” Well, I got news, no whoopee it’s over.

The prophet said, “a corner, a juncture is here.” And he said this was that day of the Lord, where the Judge is.

And he said, “before He becomes King,” there is a period in there. And you cannot put that in just a three and a half years, because the Sixth Seal is already opened.

Now, you cannot even have any judgment go into effect until first of all the judgment has been pronounced.

And the authority of the State has been has been invoked with the Word of State, so that the State and the authority of the Judge and the Word is one, and that’s exactly where we are at this hour. See? Greatest day in history.

The disposition of man is at hand. And this is exactly as it should be, for the Day of the Lord as a season, is climaxed in Revelation 19:7, now let’s watch it.

Now, how did she make herself ready? It took her of such character to stand still since she heard the Message.

And it’s funny, the prophet said, “we got all we need to put us in the Rapture.”

People are waiting for more Message. Well they can have what they want, they’ll get it too. Somebody will rise up. They’re rising up all over the country.

So, part of her getting ready is part of the Day of the Lord. This is climax. See?

See, you can’t have Elijah come and turn the heart… boom, at the same time fire comes down and destroys everybody. You’ve done missed her. You’re looking for the wrong Elijah, that’s to the Jews.

Why? We’ve crowned Him. That means it’s time to go. He owns it all now, just smashed those guys out of business that don’t belong there. See?

What of those fowls in the midst of heaven were atomic bombs up there, and he got… phfft, released and smashed to the earth? They’re not a bunch of fowls that are… you know…

Did you play that tape here the ‘Ashes of the Red Heifer’? You haven’t heard it? Okay, we’ll play it.

In there Dr. Jones he debunks that business, the tract written that there’s buzzards in Israel right now. So many thousands, or millions of buzzards just waiting for this big day. And he said that’s a lot of hogwash.

Certainly, he said, “When you change the climate and you change the food by reason of the fact we’ve opened up the beautiful wells and streams and everything else in the desert, he said, when there’s more food there’s more birds of every kind.”

So, for the first time in centuries they’re seeing birds that weren’t there before. And he said, “Sure there’s more vultures, but not that many.”

What if the birds of the air they’re going to eat the flesh… the atomic bomb, because that’s what it amounts to pretty well doesn’t? Come on. Phfft, fap!

The big thought here anyway is destruction. And the beast is taken, the false prophet and they’re thrown in the bottomless pit. And then you’ll see here the thrones are set, “and we live and reign with Him a thousand years.”

Okay, now, let’s go back to,

Okay, alright, this then is most definitely the Omega, because I am Alpha and Omega, and this ends it. So He said, “I am the One which is Alpha, but now I am Omega. I’ve come back to where I was.

Oh come on: “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” He’s right back.

He says, “I’ve been looking for the time now of the apex of the Day of the Lord. I’m looking for the literal Day of the Lord per se, taken out of the epochal season, and a day is not a season.” See? So you see Him incarnate.

Now, and the incarnation is into the human flesh from the Pillar of Fire. At this point the incarnation, the flesh of God, is Fire.

In our view, the flesh of God is the Word, because we see Him in the Word. Follow what I’m saying?

Even the Pillar of Fire’s got to reduce the Word, the description. “Oh,” you say, “once in a while It’s the Pillar of Fire. It goes this way, It goes that way. It folds and then folds and goes this way. What’s He saying, what’s in It?”

Hey, that’s a good question, what is He saying?

“I’m the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.” Talked to Moses.

Now, we’re getting somewhere. See? Okay, you understand.

All right, the Omega of the Alpha. Omega is the Lord having His day leading His people into a kingdom. Right? Revelation 19.

Okay, what is the Alpha, if that’s the Omega? Well, I’m sorry you didn’t asked the question, I’d pat you on the back and say, “smart student,” and I’d ask the question myself.

Okay, nice people anyway, listen: all right,

Now, don’t get that doing business as if you’re going to do something about this. As ok if you’re going to have it.

Thou and thy children. Build, eat, live. Alpha now going to Omega. Palestine, Millennium. Right?

Now:

Now, the hearing is the thing. Cain would not hear, and he did worship God and died. The king intruded into the priest office and ministered and he died. The priest intruded into the prophet office and he died.

Okay, getting somewhere? Elijah turned the hearts of the children to the fathers, or back to God through the implementation of a vindicated sign, so that they knew who God was and where worship lay. They still weren’t perfect, but the sacrifice obtained.

Now:

Everybody that wants to enter into the unseen, which is never yet been, which is immortality standing here.

You better know that you’re in line with the Alpha and with the Omega, or you are not going to number your days any further.

You are going die. Come up at the White Throne to get judged and see what happens to you.

Now, if you want to prolong your days, which are the Days of the Lord, “for you shall prolong His days, He shall see His Seed,” you have got to be changed right here and go into that land. Because, that is what they were doing was going into the land.

Now:

Curse is the tribulation… [blank spot on tape] he that adds, shall add the tribulation, the curse. Okay, he that takes away, your book is out of the Book of Life. You’re gone too.

No matter how you do it, you aren’t going to be in the Rapture. You have to stick right here and see what happens. You worship the beast, you know what’s going to happen, you’re gone.

Now:

What if the Elect turns this down? Where’d the Resurrection be? Couldn’t come on. What is all turned down? You see, people say, “Well, Brother Vayle, it doesn’t go that way.”

Then you tell me how it does go. You’re so smart, tell me how it does go? We’ve got a lot of big mouths out there; they can’t wait to get these tapes and tear them to pieces.

So I want to give them something to tear to pieces. Let them tell me. And you come to one place, why did a prophet even bother to come, because who needs him? See?

They don’t believe William Branham, they say they do. They’re liars. I just tell you flat, they’re liars, or I’m a liar, one of the two.

Before he died, I was the only one… [I’ll just say this on tape, and the world can hear]… I was the only one, he said, the only preacher that understood him and the Message at that time. I don’t say that’s the way it is today, God forbid.

But, I haven’t changed, and I’m not about to change. I’ve put the emphasis right on the prophet who brought the Word of the God Who was Present, or there wouldn’t be a prophet in the Word, and there wouldn’t be a Resurrection.

Now, they’re back there thinking the thing is going to run its course. There are epochal seasons. And as we read in ‘The Man Who Can Turn on the Light’, you don’t give wheat July sun in December, or May.

It takes the July sun to ripen it. It’s a season involved. And the strongest meat, the strongest presentation, the strongest anything though people don’t believe it, is of this hour.

What is greater than Him taking a Bride back to earth in a Millennium? The Jews are merely incidental to it, and the 144,000 come in as eunuchs under the Fifth Seal and make it in the Second Resurrection.

This is the great hour. “Haw, bless God if this is not the great hour…”

Listen, I tell you, I am geared for only the best. I won’t settle for anything less. And I say that not facetiously, I’ve come to the place where Brother Branham said, “if I choose any age, I’d choose this.”

There was a long time I wouldn’t have. I might even have a little regret the odd time yet, because I’m not William Branham.

Look, let’s face it, I’m neither William Branham, nor Paul, nor Jesus Christ, I’m cruddy Lee Vayle, forget it.

I’m not John the Beloved, Paul the Blessed, and all the rest of them. I’m the one they blessed out. Okay, God doesn’t. That you may live, and your seed be right there.

You know something? Now look, don’t try to compare this for this hour, because everything is raunchy. Myself, I could blow my stack in fifteen minutes and walk off, but I ain’t going to do it by the grace of Almighty God.

I’m going to tell you something here brother/sister, you look around and you say, “Well, who wants to live? Who wants to live? Oh, these days are horrible and it’s getting worse.”

And it’s certainly is, but He where everything is wonderful is my “length of days.” And I just want to walk right out of here. I want that good feeling.

Ha, ha, ha, you talk about the voice brother/sister, of joy and Holy Ghost laughter! I’ve heard people and had it myself what you might call a little Ghost giggles, because you felt so good.

Oh listen, this is nothing like Hannah, when she rejoiced over her adversaries and she “haw, haw, hawed!” She said, “The Lord is my horn and my salvation, He’s exalted me, hallelujah.”

Oh, bless God, come on, get happy with me you bunch of birds. I’ll send you back to Pentecost for a little bit of education. How to turn loose.

What land? That He gave Abraham. That’s the City we’re looking for! That’s the Millennium brother/sister, we’re going to have it.

Scripture said, Abraham didn’t get one place where his foot trod. I’m going to be better than Abraham. “Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck!” I’m going to be walking, pitter, patter, right in there.

Poor old Abraham got taken out of the way. Come on, rejoice, bless God, there’s a spirit to this thing! If you don’t enter the spirit, there’s something wrong with you!

You see, that’s why people don’t understand what it’s all about, they can’t get in the spirit of it. The prophet warned him, the final warning before the entrance is given. That’s the Alpha, the Omega runs a hundred percent.

Now, that this would be the atmosphere of the end, what we’re talking about of the Judge with the great decision. The irrevocable decision that swings us into eternal things as never before.

There would be no question that this spirit involved here of life and death must be in the Church in its final form.

I said, final form, because we’re going to go to the Book of Revelation, chapter 2 and 3, and we’re going to read them.

Who are they? Like Cain, they’re already off the Word. They got into, maybe wrong things like Church Order and those things.

Notice, the Judge is already there. The Second Church Age.

Now, let’s go to the Fourth Church Age.

You know, people are working harder than ever trying to make the Rapture? Stop your working and arresting God. Let Him drive your thinking in your heart and your minds.

Then what you do will be of God. Line up with the Word. Don’t try to out-prophet the prophet, out-God, God, out-Word the Word.

In other words, you’ve got a school of false prophecy. The church has become a prophet system and says, “Bless God, but what we say goes.” And it’s fornication, idolatry.

That’s the Judge and the King both, because as soon as we leave He incarnates Himself in the Person of Jesus Christ, that’s the Prophet Spirit. And we crown Him King of kings. See?

The Word, the decision and the authority, is one, as the prophet said, “Has it not been spoken, shall it not be done?”

Don’t you know brother/sister that you’re caught into a tide that irresistible. You cannot force the tide and say, “God, let me out of this boat. Oh Lord, let me out of this …?…”

“No,” He said.

“I can’t stay in high water Lord.” What kind of ass would he be? He never had high water.

Some people they’re scared to go on a great big 747. Now listen, don’t put him on one of those stupid little things, like Joe you’ve been in, you know, cardboard box with wings, Wright Brother’s stuff.

Oh my God have pity I’d kill me son, but a 747. why you could take me around the world and even the blitz go flop, I don’t mind at all. And yet people say, “Well, I couldn’t ride that 747.” How’d you know, you’ve never been in one, what are you talking about?

Oh yeah, Noah, I supposed he said, “Alright let me out of here Lord.”

And so Lord say, “Well Noah, I’ll tell you what, I’ll open the doors just for you.” lose none, caught up in the irresistible force and tide of God’s love and grace, and the people say, “Well, I better, I better…”

You better shut up and gear yourself down, and think of the mercy and the grace of Almighty God. Fill your mouths and your minds and your hears and everything with the Word of the Lord at this hour.

Just speak of His unsearchable riches. Sure, they were searched out for you. There’s no woman in this room here that wears a diamond ring that somebody didn’t go and search for it. And some man paid a price and put on your finger, I hope.

You might have had to buy your own, but that’s alright. We’re talking about grace, not about these bunch of fluky flinky people, you know.

All right, we see it all through the ages.

All right, let’s see how death comes in, tells you right there. Well, we read It in,

See, the deliberate malfeasance of the Word of God. Malfeasance is when you take somebody else’s, it’s not yours used in a wrong way for your own self. That’s what they did with this Message, and they’re doing it all around the world.

The Pentecostal’s with three quarter million went to their churches through Brother Branham’s ministry, and all these other churches that now see revival fires of the revival healing going around the world, they have their malfeasance.

That’s wrong, they’ve committed malfeasance, that’s what it is. Are they maleficent? I don’t know what the word is, but I’m going to tell you one thing, they’re criminals in the sight of Almighty God, and their judgment is just and they’re gone. They’ve taken or added. I don’t care how you put it. See?

James categorically said, “it’s the time of former and latter rain that the Judge is at the door.” What door? Yep! Trying to get back in. Trying to settle the question. The Authority, they don’t want Him.

All right, that in Revelation 22:18-19 started back in Revelation 2:11. It ends in Isaiah 28:5-19. It’s some of the Scripture I’m going to use.

We’ve been fighting for all these years now. We’ve got strength to stand right here in the judgment and to be declared worthy by the King who is a diadem of our glory.

In other words, He’s the top of the pyramid.

Now listen:

Sure they’ve got the blind staggers. Once you see your own words, you can’t see His. That’s why you’ve got to blind to everything but the Word of God, and dung to everything but the Word of God, and beg it in your mind to everything but the Word of God.

You’ve got to get that infernal dung that Paul called it out of your head. You’ll never understand this Message, there’s no way. And the more that you begin to rejoice in It, the more It will become clearer to you.

You get fumbling around here and think, “I wonder if I see…” Aw, shut up! If you see anything at all, you see something. And thank God for what you see.

I’m glad we’re this far down the road. People bungling around all the time muttering groaning. Well, I do my share, but don’t bother them, don’t mind me. When I preach I feel great.

They’re in judgment:

They stumble over what the prophet said. He said, “women, don’t wear those miserable slacks anymore. Get them off.”

“I don’t see it.”

What, because they’ve got some preacher’s revelation. “Why, it’s okay, it doesn’t pertain to a man.” Bible said that it does.

The prophet said it does. Vindicated prophet. Why take somebody’s junkie word that’s not proven against the man that can prove His Word.

And that’s the time of the epochal season of Melchisedec. The knowledge of Who He is and what He’s doing, and the appearing before Sodom and Gomorrah. And that’s been done. There you are.

It tells you, it’s going to be a doctrinal dissertation at the end-time. It’s going to be restored Word at the end-time. Then don’t keep your own cruddy junk in your head.

I’ve told you my experiences. I’ve meant to tell you not to make myself somebody, but to help you understand. To help you know what to do yourself. I can’t tell you.

The Bible itself said, we comfort each other with the comfort, “Wherewith we were comforted when we were down low.”

I cannot comfort you with Brother Branham’s comfort, I can only comfort you with my comfort. Understand? Okay.

That’s derisiveness. Said, “He shall laugh them to scorn.” They turned Him down. And when they do it, “they crucify to themselves the Son of God.” They don’t crucify Him, it’s to themselves.

Now, they crucify Him to Himself. This time it’s ‘to themselves’. They’re the ones that get spread eagle on the cross. They’re the ones that shed the blood and die, and cry too late, ‘my God, my God.” What happened? What did we all go to?

You say, “Brother Vayle, I’ve got relatives.”

Why, don’t you think I’ve got relatives? You think that’s going to scare me from preaching? You think I’m going to go off some kind of a tizzy, because of some little thing? Some little interference, some little insult or something? No way, shape or form. See?

You know something people? I wonder if you know that I really believe this what I preach? There’s a lot of people don’t think I do believe it. They think of histrionics or something.

I’ve got news for you: the day will come when He will make me ready to die for It, if I must die for It, and I’ll be glad. Because if Satan pours into the church all that he was diabolically, then God at this moment is pouring into us everything that He is.

And in there is that spirit of sacrifice, it’s there somewhere brother/sister. It’s somewhere. I say it’s somewhere! Because I won’t be deceived, if I haven’t got it somebody has, let’s get that flat.

And he said, “He’ll speak, but they won’t listen.” He’ll say, “This is the Holy Ghost,” he said.

The Word of the hour, that Logos veiled in a Pillar of Fire to a prophet, and the word ‘veiled’ in a prophet to us. Then the Word veiled in the written form, and the written form coming alive and we see Him.

And It comes as He build the Church, it’s building Him more and more into view as a Bride is more and more Word. He was more and more Word, until there’s no Word left and there’s no Spirit left, and we’re right here at the apex. Right here at the cap.

Where did I read that just the other day? It’s in one of the sermons.

And he said:

Yes, God didn’t change it. He said, “this is the way it is and you won’t like it.”

So, you’ll fall backwards and perish, and that’s exactly what It says here, come on! Acts 3. I’m not mad at you, and I’m not mad at anybody. But, I am up in arms unless the Lord gets me out of them arms, I’m going to just stay there.

“Listen,” He said, “refreshing will come, a revival first of all.” Then He’s going to send Jesus Christ after that.

But, hold it, He can’t come to restoration. And when that happens, then He will come. And everyone that didn’t listen, It tells you in 23, “who did not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed.” That’s Malachi.

If the Gentiles don’t listen to Elijah, they’re gone! And when the Jews don’t listen, they’re gone! Now, there you are. Because the Jews are smart, they said, “Are you that prophet?”

“No,” he said, “I’m not that prophet.” That prophet was coming, William Branham the Elijah down the road for the Jews.

You say, “Why William Branham? Because that’s the one. What am I supposed to do? I’m supposed to talk about the pope or somebody else?

People think it’s smart to denigrate William Branham. Well, it’s not smart to denigrate William Branham. If he hadn’t brought this Word, I wouldn’t have it. You see, if I didn’t have that, I wouldn’t have God.

Everybody’s saying, “Oh, we’re going to miss it. Oh, we’re going to miss it. Oh, we’re going to miss…”

I say, “How are you going to miss it?”

“Oh, well hallelujah…”

Hallelujah nothing, tells you how to miss it, how not to get in there, word upon word, precept upon precept. Line upon line, word upon word until one jot, and one tittle is all fulfilled.

It’s all been poured in the Church. Seven Church Ages. No more left. He’s here, ‘Capstone’, what do you want? See?

And they say, “Hey, we’re going to get out of here, we’ve got it made.”

No, you haven’t. How can you have it made, where they’re wretched, blind, miserable, naked, and proud of it? Women in their shorts, in their slacks and their bobbed-hair like a man.

Coming in Brother Branham’s meetings, and he said, he tells, he said, “I’ve held you nose and poured the medicine, you’ve spit it back.”

And they said, “Ha, ha, ha, ha.” Like it was a big joke.

Let your hair grow. I got no trouble with short hair. Some people have short hair, looks like chicken feathers, that’s all they can grow, that’s fine. You got hair that can grow, let it grow that’s all.

You say, “I don’t see it spiritual.”

Well fine, don’t see it spiritual, that’s you business, not mine. I’m not here to make you do anything. You can’t believe a vindicated prophet, you won’t believe anything. So do what you want. No problem with me.

I’m not here to take people by the hands and lead them like little babies, this and that. That’s over. This is manhood, womanhood. Make up your mind. Men and woman go the hard way, they don’t go some sloppy easy way.

Any dead fish can flow with the current. It takes a good one to get up those ladders. You need a bunch of salmon. Well, the Christian’s were called fish in the first place. The cross-fish was a sign of a Christian.

Okay:

You wait, the day is going to come and they’re going to say, “Fall on us rocks, we need a better cover. Let us go to the hill and caves from the wrath of the Lamb.”

Now, he said:

He says, “Come on, just hold your horses. You get running around you miss the First Resurrection.”

“Oh,” you say, “man destruction’s coming, everything is…”

Oh come on, haven’t you got the faith of Jacob? Jacob figured Esau is going to come and kill him. Everything looks against him.

So, he divides them, his family, into two companies, he says I’m going to go pray.

“Now,” he said, “Lord, he said, look, I want to thank You for the goodness and mercy, that’s all I’ve ever known in my life time.”

He took time to praise God for His goodness. Get a nice communication and his brother gallivanting with those fast camels and horses, whatever they had. Just snorting down the road to get at poor old Jacob.

And he said, “Lord,” he said, “look,” he said, he said, “bad times coming, I got to slow right down now, really, really, really slow, slow, slow. Got to get my brother out of my mind, get right on to You.”

There’s a bad time ahead, brother/sister, let me tell you something, slow down. Slow down. I keep telling you, I’m very nervous type of person, but I’ve got one thing with me, I can slow down. I can suddenly go just like dead.

Now, I couldn’t if I was sitting on a stove, or a mad dog was going to bite me some. Come on, I’m human, I’m not talking in terms out there in the world, I’m talking about spiritual.

You say, “can you…?” Sure, you can do it, anybody can do it. Don’t make haste, stand back.

Watch this Word now.

The coast going down, one third wipes out at one time. You talk about times coming. That’s your Day of the Lord brother/sister. That’s your Judge.

However notice the promises in 16 and 17. “I lay in Zion a corner stone. Judgment will I lay to the line, righteousness to the plummet.” In other words, the people of God are secure. See?

Now, you blend that with Malachi 4:5-6, which we started with Revelation 22:18-19, adding and taking, see the condition, before the great and great and dreadful Day of the Lord I’ll send Elijah, turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers.

Take that to Malachi 3:16 and see what the people are like, “and they that feared the Lord that spoke one to another often, and the Lord hearkened and heard it, a book of remembrance was written, they’re not praying, they’re talking to each other, this Book written before God of them that feared the Lord thought upon His Name.”

They talk a certain way, and God said, “They’re my jewels, because I can tell the way they talk.”

Now, everybody says, “Brother Vayle, that great character.”

The prophet said, “It wasn’t character.”

“Oh, that great fruit.”

The prophet said, “It wasn’t fruit.”

“Oh, Brother Vayle, it’s those great, great ministries, hallelujah.”

It’s not ministries.

“Well, Brother Vayle, it’s that great obedience.”

It’s not obedience.

“Well, you see, I’m going to get nearer.”

How are you going to get nearer if you’re already born again, the Holy Ghost inside of you? How are you going nearer, climb up a ladder? He’d have to come down. Then what is it? It’s talking.

Do you remember what I read over there in Deuteronomy? You don’t have to go up there to find the Word. You don’t have to go to Jerusalem to find the Word. The Light comes to you. It is nigh you, and placed in your mouth for the prophet said, “Say what I say.”

It’s strange how things work out doesn’t? And the Word never lies. Always comes together cohesively and perfectly. “They’ll be mine and I will spare them as a man spares his son that serves him.”

What is service to God now? The prophet said the Bride ministers to the Groom what he supplies, and he has supplied the Word. And we don’t want to minister. Just don’t stand in my way that’s all. Yep, yep.

You do what you want, because I’m going to do what I want. I’m going to minister Word. “Then shall you return, and you and you alone will know who is righteous and who isn’t righteous.”

But actually, you’ll discern between wickedness and righteousness. For the first time you’ll be in line with Abel that you distinguish yourself with Abel and extinguish yourself by having nothing to do with Cain.

Because original wickedness was Cain turning down God’s provided way, and yet sticking to the Word and interpreting It through the mind and going his own way.

For Abel just said, “God, I need a sacrifice. Oh, I’m so happy.” And he identified with a little lamb as Brother Branham mentioned, “it’s a nasty thing to kill a lamb.”

But I’m the man with the x-rated language, so I don’t mind telling what the prophet didn’t tell you which I’ve told you before; they urinate on you, they defecate on you, they would vomit on you, they would do everything they could to escape.

And you are the brunt and the target of all the smell and all the odor and you’re identified. But Cain wanted something nice.

And remember, at the end-time John saw a whore, a rotten filthy whore. Not a woman who’s had one or two affairs, but a woman who gloried in it. And her pride was her affairs and she was beautiful. “And he wondered with admiration.”

He looked so long a Voice had to attract his attention to the bleeding lamb that should open the Seals. So much for your education, your PhD’s and your hogwash. Anyway, I’ve had enough friends give me ‘hogwash’ soap, I’m mightily clean by now.

All right, let’s look at Malachi 4:1-2 as we continue to read.

In other words, you will have already been changed in the season of the Day of the Lord. And if fire falls, you won’t burn anyway. There were three Hebrew children they couldn’t set on fire. But those who tried to set them on fire were set on fire.

And I’m sure the three Hebrew children said, “isn’t that a pity, that those lovely, lovely people, at the command of the king should burn, just because they wanted to get rid of us, then we are not rid-able people.”

And I’m sure the Bride will say, “Isn’t horrible?” Then where’s your faith in God, and your love of God, and what God’s done for you. Is it dung? Put you on the spot, didn’t I?

Well you say, “Brother Vayle, you’re going to make it vengeful.”

I’m making anybody vengeful, there’s a spirit that goes with this day my brother/my sister. And if you’re one of those milk and soup people that’s going to talk in this infernal love and live like the devil, excoriate the Living Word of the Living God, don’t come to me, you deserve to burn.

And I’m going to be happy to see you burn, because you’re the thorn in my flesh right now. Not that I want to stand back and see them burn, but I’m going to get in the spirit. I’m not set the fire, but when He sets it, don’t ask me to start crying crocodile tears. Let’s get it.

The planting which God did not plant must go. Because, it was the planting the He did not plant brought us all the woe and all the misery. And it was one woman who changed one word.

Now, if your think I’m supposed to be nicer than God, you’ve got some thoughts coming on the subject which aren’t mine. I am not the judge, but I will take the Judge’s decision and I will stand with it.

And I will not caterwaul about it. I’m only too happy, because I have read you and showed you in this hour that is astronomical in its sweep concerning the ages, manifestation has been rampant.

And they turned it down and they spit on it. And what am I supposed to do? Join the spitters? Good question.

You say, “But, Brother Vayle, you’re getting a little bit rough.” Then we’d have to call God rough. I’ve even got it all figured out, I’d just like to see the lake of fire one minute. Brother Branham said it might be millions of years. Now, who’s tough now?

See, there’s a spirit in this age my brother my sister, that people don’t want the spirit. John was in the spirit, and yet at the end of the Book, John wrote, he said… Let me see what John did right back in the Book. I better check this out to see if John was in the spirit or not.

And he was testified, these things said, “Surely Lord, don’t come right now, or millions of years later, because I sure hate to see all this come to pass.” Because it’s going to.

I read it just the way people write it. I’m pretty good reader. I’ve been known to read very fast and talk very fast, and even to have the proper emphasis very fast. And I’m sure that it is just the way John said it, did I not? “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

And when it takes all of that, come. Oh yeah, kind old priest will never get to the feast …?…

Revelation 22:10-17 lays It on the line. I didn’t write this, God wrote It. I’m just the fellow reading It, and He said, “Why listen, I’m in the spirit,” he said, “blessed is the man that reads It, man that hears It.”

Oh, hallelujah, are we in the spirit this morning brother/sister.

Why he said here:

What was sealed up is unsealed. Seven Seals, Seven Thunders are all open, and at that time in the Day of the Lord. Who opened those Seals? Jesus! Alright, then He’s privy to everything that goes on.

Even to where He says, “Bring forth those wicked servants that I may slay them.” Matthew 22: Throw them in the lake of fire and judgment.

You know why people don’t want to get into the spirit? Because they’re afraid that they don’t have the Spirit that’s going to get them into a Resurrection.

So, they’re trying to put it off. Uh, uh. Not anymore. No, no, no. There was a time, I admit it if there was, but not anymore.

You say, “Brother Vayle, what if you burn?”

I was meant to burn, bring it on. I’ve told you my stand, if He’s not here, I’ve tried to glorify Him at least. And Brother Branham said his entire ministry was to say that He was here.

Now, if I said He was here in a wrong way, at least I said He was here. I’ve acquiesced to the fact that He is here. I’ve preached that He is here. I’ve said what the prophet said he’s going to do.

And if I go to the lake of fire, I’ll tell you one thing, there’s no way, there is no way that I will suffer as long as some others. Because, my one cry is to give Him a little bit of glory.

Now, if I give Him glory in my wrath, or some way, so “the wrath of man praises Him,” then alright I’ll take that. But I’ll get out of there quicker.

You say, “Get out?”

Well, I’ll be gone quicker. I’ve got no fight with God. I got a fight with myself. Man, I tell you what, but I don’t need to fight with myself, because God’s got a double edge-sword.

I just let the Word have Its way. If I had, I don’t say I do, I say, “If I let the Word have Its way, He’ll get me coming and going, wonderful.” Hewed me down to size.

Now, he said, I come quickly:

When does it take place? Under the Seventh Seal of Revelation 10:1-7. The Messenger comes down and tell us. “Don’t fear little Bride, you’re exonerated. I don’t pray for America anymore.” Sure, he tells you on tape.

When Brother Branham’s voice changed, he said, “This is not Brother Branham, this is the Lord Jesus Christ. I’m using his lips.” See?

Now notice: God separated, or dispelled the darkness by sending light. He separates life and death by reason of being Life, and death is all over. Death has got a cartel, winning hands down. Yep! He’s going to separate and He’s going to reply by bringing life.

“It’s appointed unto man once to die.” Everybody’s dying. They’re going to die in destruction. But notice, life is what makes a difference, because it brings out the sleeping virgin, or five of which are wise, and brings the rest out of the ground.

It brings the people out of Babylon for the Voice cries, “come out of her my people.” And they come out, and they’re glad to come out.

Okay, we’ll finish next time around. Little re-cap, we’ll go to the next section because time’s up.

[Brother Vayle says some local announcements]

Now, you heard that I said, there’s a spirit of life and death, there’s a struggle going on. There’s a struggle in your members going on.

I’ll recap next Sunday and go right on. Take you right back to other places I’ve been showing you. We are in the Spirit of live and death in this hour.

Now remember, God says, “I kill and I make alive.”

The judge does not put his hands forth to kill a man, but as sure as that judge says you’re going to die, that man will die by the power of whatever power it was that gave that word in the first place.

So, we’re right at the end-time, I wish myself are million times more serious. I wish it were.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the time we’ve had together this hour and a half in the Word, an hour and a half of singing your songs of praise. Hour and a half, Lord, I believe of hopefully lifting up Your Name, the showing the great Presence of the Great I Am.

Wonderful, wonderful Lord, you have established Your Word, It is decreed. You’ve established It upon the deep. You have established It upon the mountain, upon the roaring seas, we care not where. It’s upon the wind, and It’s in our mouths, and It’s in our hearts

O God, when we are in that place which we know by faith the prophet said we’re coming to. The Word in the heart and in the mouth is the same.

We are the living Word of God made flesh. Jesus in Spirit form in a Bride, living children that great Spirit here at that time to call the dead out of the earth and cloth them.

And the same time mortal flesh give way to immortal. Blood give way to spirit entirely, and all flesh become absolutely glorified in Your Presence. Knowing we’re coming closer and closer, that’s the glory of this hour.

That’s the glory of life in the midst of death, and as the prophet said, “it take a bad woman to show up what a really good woman is.” And, Lord, it’s taking death and creeds and dogmas and everything else to show up this really good Word.

And It’s so wonderful and so precious, and It’s shining in a dark place, and the darkness can’t do one single solitary thing about it, against it, or even for it, it couldn’t, it’s got to be all God. And we thank You Lord.

I You, Lord, for every person in this building, I don’t exclude anyone person, male or female, child or adult, don’t exclude anybody. With open heart and rejoicing, believe that every single one is either potentially, or gratifyingly truly a Seed of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And in their proper season of understanding will be conforming as we all want to conform to whatever Word we have attained to and come to, which should be shown forth in our lives. And, Lord, that’s a big order upon every single one of us here.

Because we have come mighty far, there should be lot of lining with this Word in our mouths, from our hearts and speaking continuously so that You can hear us, and with Your approval say, “those are My Jewels, that’s the Bride of the Rapture, stars and gems in My Crown.”

Lord, when we think of these things we know that at this point they’re beautiful, wonderful words that do something within our heart as per a wave of spiritual sentiment. But, O merciful God, we know it is nothing to what it must be and will be until every atom is changed.

Father, to You be glory and again we can say as truly and best we can, that the spectacle and the prospect is of such magnitude in glory, that, Lord, if we’re not It, praise God, it’s going to be there anyway.

And may we be able to see It hopefully at least as friends of the Bridegroom if not His Bride, for Your glory anyway shape and form. To view It and be a little part of It in some infinitesimal way would be more than sufficient, because we know It’s that real and wonderful.

Now, unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, incorruptible God, to You, Lord, be glory, glory, glory in the highest, from the lowest to the highest…
