The Spirit Of The Lord’s Day #02

Transcript In progress.

Audio is available now.

Let’s just pray.

Heavenly Father we’re grateful again that you have given us health and strength.

We’re under desire, Lord, to be here, we anticipate the service following the good song service, Lord, with joy in our hearts knowing that as you speak to us in song, we speak to You even so we have this blessed fellowship of communion in the Word which transcends all other things which men think are transcended.

We praise You for it, Lord, that we have come to the very capstone, we have reached the top, as it were, of Mount Zion which we’ll come into a form very, very shortly.

And we praise Thee, O God, that all things now have fallen down upon us to the extent that we are the all things here standing upon earth. That is absolutely true, the all things of God.

We worship You, Lord, this morning that that Spirit take hold of us in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

You may be seated.

[Brother Vayle makes some local announcements.]

Now, we’re going to continue ‘The Spirit of the Lord’s Day’. And I would imagine this would be 01about number three if not four. And we’re looking at that verse. Can anybody give me two of the four things that I mentioned concerning the Spirit in the preamble?

[Someone one answers back]

Well, that’s pretty good, you’re better than the ten percent class. All right, Rusty knows two of them. All right, we’re going to make a review because it would be pretty hard for me to go on where I left off at.

Now, we took as our reading of the text. “I became in the Spirit on the Lord’s day.” You know what that is of course, that is John actually getting into the Spirit of that day is what we’re talking about.

Now, we’re going to go back and make those remarks again about the Spirit so you’ll understand later on as we bring forth more material.

We said, number one: that all Spirit is life. And that is true. All Spirit when you’re dealing with Spirit you’re dealing with a form of life.

Actually, Spirit is life, even to the extent of lower forms of life. Life is Spirit, Spirit is life. Even germs which contain life are recognized to have a spirit which is life.

Like Brother Branham mentioned, the spirit of cancer. He said that that cancer is a spirit. Tuberculosis is a spirit. And even all the lowest forms they have a life, they therefore have a spirit, because life is spirit.

Now, there are higher forms of spirit from the lowest to the highest until we come up to man.

As the Bible said there is a spirit of man,” and the Spirit of the Lord is a candle to the light of the spirit of man.” Without that Spirit of God there is no life.

Now, Brother Branham also mentioned that a baby is born without life. But, he’s just kicking muscles and nerves.

Now, you couldn’t say there’s not some type of life there in [correction] the fact that there is an energy, that’s true. But, it is not a real life. Not until that spirit that is standing there comes into the baby. Now it’s hard to understand, but that’s the way it is.

Now, there’s also botany life. There’s a life that’s in the grass and the roses, in fact people have taken instruments and they put them on roses and flowers, and they cut them and the plant shudders.

I don’t understand those things, I’m not interested in them. I’m interested more in animal life, because we essentially are animals, we’re mammals, we’re of the higher order. So, all life is a spirit, and all spirit is life.

Now, number two: all spirit life, and we’ll call it ‘spirit life’, manifests what kind of life it is through the house that it lives in. It manifests the kind of life it is. Because, all life and all spirit is not the same.

A cancer doesn’t act like epilepsy. And epilepsy doesn’t act like TB, and various things like that. They’re spirits and it’s a form of a life.

Now, dog life manifests different from a cat life. And of course a dog is different from a cat. You never see a dog climb a tree too successfully.

I’ve seen them try and get up a little ways, but he’s out of his element. He’s out of his gourd. They weren’t meant to climb trees. But, you get a cat, zap! And you get a person that climbs a tree he’s got a spirit on him.

Did you know at the time of the Wesleyan revival that the people got anointed, they would run to beat forty, scale the wall of a barn, run along the ridge pole, I don’t know how many feet, and jump thirty and forty feet to the ground and bound off like cats and climb a tree.

You never heard that did you? You know why? Because your church is scared. Your church is so ‘cotton-pickin’ scared to tell you anything that goes with a revival. They won’t mention, every time there’s twins there’s a spirit of God and a spirit of hell.

There’s a spirit of love and there’s a spirit of lust. There’s a spirit of truth and there’s a spirit of lying. Yeah. Have I shocked you? I want to shock you, because you’re not babies anymore. Not that your four letter stupid idiots like out in the world there.

Four letter words, but you’re going to get down to the truth of things. There’s twins, there’s a life. The Spirit of God never acts like the spirit of hell. Oh, it’s one of those days, we’re never going to get to first base this morning, phfft, who gives a rip. Can’t win from losing.

1 Corinthians 12:

Let me give you a literal translation by Dr. Wey, if I can find it.

“Concerning the charismatic, the charisma, the gifts, I want you to have clear conceptions, do you know that when you were heathen you were swept along by impulses beyond your control in orgies of those dumb idols?”

Oh, you say an orgy is where they have sex acts and drink a lot of booze. Oh no, you can be so full of pride with your own organization, you’re swept along in your idolatry, and then your folly.

Some men would no more commit adultery than I would go out here and jump off a sixty story, unless I was driven to it. But, oh my, “they’re so self-righteous, and they’re so wonderful,” that they couldn’t even recognize the Presence of Jesus Christ and tremble.

You know what? They’re drunk, they’re swept along in their idolatry. Yeah, yeah, you better get swept this morning brother/sister in the Spirit of this hour, and It doesn’t go to idolatry, It goes straight to Jesus like a homing-pigeon the dove. Swept along.

And it says: “But there is no parallel between those frenzies.”

Oh, they get so frenzy they lie for the glory of God. Yeah. Now you look puzzled. Don’t be puzzled honey, just take it. I know what I’m talking about.

I’m sixty nine years old and I haven’t been this way for fifty one years to learn nothing. I’ve gone to literally hell to find out what I know, but I know it. Just get into it where it is.

Old Ahab lost his life, because he had four hundred wonderful prophets who said, “Go and take it, doesn’t the Bible say so, doesn’t It say that’s our land, go on take it?” Wrong interpretation, and he died for it.

And the man the befriend him got in trouble. Don’t get messed up with these stinking spirits that are around the end, the peripheral at this time.

“There’s no parallel between the frenzies of the heathens and the spirit. Therefore, I must impress upon you that no one speaks rapt and the spirit can say, ‘Jesus is accursed’.

On the other hand, on one in his rapture without being in the Spirit of God can cry that ‘Jesus is Lord’.”

So, in other words, you don’t even know that Jesus is Lord until you’re full of the Holy Ghost. How in the world could you? Because He’s only Lord of the Bride.

Now, He bought everything and owns it all. But, He’s Lord of the Bride, because He’s the Husband. Right? All right, so therefore watch it. Okay, there’s different manifestations. Why? Because once the spirit is in a house, the house is run by the spirit.

That’s why Brother Branham said, “It’s got to be down in your soul where it gives a new nature to the spirit so the spirit can run the house in a different way.”

How can a man say he’s full of the Holy Ghost and won’t but the church in order with gifts? Oh come on, everything is simple if you let it go simple.

Number three: All spirit life has a basic nature that keeps it true and unchanging intrinsically, so that it constantly remains that life, never changing to another life.

But never forget, that that life is manifesting physically, and life does manifest physically, you got to see, you can see it. And that manifestation that you’re observing can and does change according to the chronology of the season of the life. Okay.

The devil comes down in a rage, because his time is short. There’s a season, so he comes down and he gets in a house, and he takes over a kingdom.

And he’s different from what he was before in manifestation, because before he was the accuser of the brethren. Ain’t no brethren to accuse, because they done and got up there.

So, the same rotten stinkin life which never changes, comes down here to destroy every vestige which is in the foolish virgin, because he’s the destroyer.

And according to what house he’s in there’s no change. Neither does God. When He gets in the right house there’ll always be the characteristics. Just let that go. It’s not too deep, but it’s there.

Let me read it again: All spirit life has a basic nature that keeps it true and unchanging, intrinsically. That is within itself, not visible, but in the spiritual sense, the life sense. So that it constantly remains that life. What about you?

“So Brother Vayle, I was a pig and I got changed to a sheep.”

Man oh man, I sure wrote a lie down here. I better change that and make the prophet William Branham a liar, because he said seed never changes.

All spirit life has a basic nature that keeps it true and unchanging intrinsically, so that it constantly remains that life, it doesn’t become another life, see, no transmigration and so on, but never forget that that life is manifesting physically, see, it’s got to. See?

There’s got to be manifestation of life, or you wouldn’t know it’s there. So, if it’s not there manifesting somehow, forget it, it’s not there. If it’s there it’ll manifest, right? Uh? Oh come on.

You people sometimes you amaze me, you sit there as I’m trying to pull a bluff on you and try to get you into a higher level of academics. Fap! I’m trying to get you down in simplicity here kid. I don’t feel too bad though, I got to wake you up.

Start again: All spirit life has a basic nature that keeps it true and unchanging intrinsically, so that it consistently remains that life, not another life, but never forget that that life in manifesting physically; and life does manifest, and that manifestation can and does change according to the chronology of the season of life.

Which in turn manifests, or act out that spirit according to the life cycle it is in at that time. For all life has a continuing cycle, [see,] even as in a wheat seed goes from seed to seed. Plant it a seed of wheat, it’ll be a seed of wheat until forever and ever.

Now, you can meddle around a bit with it, hybridize, what have you, but it ‘s a wheat seed. Can’t change wheat seed, to oat seed, see you won’t do it. You can graft in a vine or something, but, and live off a life, but you never change that basic life, see. Grafting is different.

A caterpillar turning into a butterfly is always a life over and over again in reproduction. Now, you come down as a human being, you are in your father’s loins, even Adam, that exactly where you were, you could have come another way, that life, but you came on down.

You’re designated a human being, you can’t be anything else but a human being. Serpent seed can get in there, everything else as far as the flesh is concerned, but you’ll never change that basic. You can’t do it.

So, therefore sheep doesn’t become a goat, a pig doesn’t become a sheep or anything else. Now, you’ll notice then, the life or spirit cannot change, it goes on and on and on.

Like Brother Branham said, “He’ll take the man but not the spirit.” So, what we’re looking at here is the quality of a spirit. We’re looking at ourselves not other things.

All right, number four: furthermore spirit life remains invisible until it either makes a house, or a form, a carrier, or a carrier’s made for it.

Let’s go to,

Okay, It tells you here, this building you body is dissolved you will not be left in an unmanifested form. You will be clothed, so you will not be a spirit that’s unclothed.

All right, to proceed, now God Himself is Spirit, and it is basically the same with God. For He essentially changes not. He says in Malachi 3:6, “I am the Lord, I change not.”

And Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.” His intrinsic essential nature is well described in 1 Timothy 1:17, “Now unto the King eternal, incorruptible, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever.”

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

“In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God.” And then It said, “the Word became flesh.”

He begins to form Himself into a human form which took place in a series for forms, wherein He formed Himself into visibility by a Light, by a Fire, by a Cloud, by an Angel, by water through a rock, through wind, and then came the perfect manifestation which was in a human form.

Notice, how He manifested Himself through men in physical form. Not through men in a supernatural form as when He stood before Abraham.

But when He stood before the people countless times, God coming down from heaven standing before groups of men… uh? Oh, people don’t like that.

Well, Brother Vayle says this little liar out west he says, “Well you see,” he says, “as, as.” He’s so afraid that Brother Branham might be somebody. Well, he is somebody.

John the Baptist was in the caliber even beyond the prophets, what about last forerunner? I don’t know why people don’t shut up and listen for once.

Oh, if you talk about them, who, anything you say is not beautiful, oh you’re wonderful, I certainly am. Oh, you’re marvelous.

Oh yes, my wife says so, and all of my relatives, because I’m wonderful. FAP! Well, I’m going to keep my x-rated sermons down, so it’s alright.

I just suddenly though of an illustration I used to do when I was a kid, and I ain’t going to talk about it. If you’re wondering, it’s very simple, we had horses. I didn’t say a thing. That’s right.

Look brother/sister, let’s get this flat, these things against William Branham is no joking matter. “God in many parts and many ways spoke in time past unto the fathers ‘in’ the prophets

God came down and stood before groups of men and declared Himself as ever He’s done. “Hath these last days spoken unto us in the Son.”

Prophets were a part, this was a sum in total. “Whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds.”

He used other men’s bodies, and those men were accountable to God. Most of them were failures and sinners. And they did things they didn’t even like to do.

I’m sure it was Hosea, I think it was, he didn’t like to marry a harlot, but he had to. Jeremiah didn’t want to lie on his side and eat dung, but he did.

And one day He formed His own body and it was God, and God only accountable to God, and He brought us a perfection that nothing else could bring.

Titus 1:

Here’s what It says more originally in the Greek, but in his own private and strategic season, the epochal season. He made known His Word in a proclamation with which I was entrusted.

He said, “I was William Branham, was just as entrusted.”

I’m going to tell you something: if a building isn’t started square it’ll never be square. If a building is started square, it’s never right if it’s ended crooked. So the same whatever It was that brought this to Paul had to bring It to William Branham.

Now, over here in Revelation 1, what we’re looking at, getting into the Spirit, the Spirit of God we’re talking about now, remember, and the way… it’s just like all other spirits in a certain way, It says,

The revelation that God gave Jesus Christ of Jesus Christ to Jesus Christ. Isn’t that sound strange? It’s not a strange at all.

God said, “You are My Son, this day have I begotten Thee.”

He said, “You are a Priest forever,” so here’s a revelation God’s giving.

This is no doubt that which Jesus was speaking of. The Son Himself doesn’t know. Got to know now. He doesn’t tell me what He does know.

It’s an epochal season. That’s what it is. What’s an epic?

[Number] One: a particular period of time marked by distinctive characteristics or events.

Well, they’re there. Do you think that took place in one hour? Ha! You think it took place in one day? Ha! The destruction takes place in maybe less than one day. Maybe takes several days.

Because they screamed, “hide us from the wrath of the Lamb.” What did they see happening? That coming down to earth with the atomic bursts is a mere… that’s just a culmination.

Did you ever know people that were in such horrible throes [spasms] of agony they wanted to die? I’m not in even horrible throes of agony and I want to get out of here.

Number Two: Epic, begins a distinctive period of history.

[Number] Three: A point of time distinguished by a particular event.

The great event is the great climax coming back with the Bride, we’re going to take over. And it’s building up a crescendo, a spirit to it. My own little quite inimical, which is a nice word that I really don’t need, because I’m not that nice.

Inimical means ‘my own little way of doing it’, native to me and all, you know, I’m such a nice guy. Phfft! Ha, in my own little rotten way, I have something lying within me that reaches out for the Millennium.

I love my garden, and all I want to do is go out there and water the flowers, but I would sooner say, “water come on the flowers.”

“And I don’t think I got that bush right, I want you over here instead.” Had to move one already, and I haven’t had too much luck with it.

So, this epochal season, we’re into it, getting ready for the great climax. So, there is therefore a life which is spirit to be revealed, or manifested as we read in verses 1 to 2.

The things that must come to past. These things are for that epochal season, which is actually the Seventh Seal, that part of which is the ushering in of the Millennium.

Now, how are you going to get a Millennium, unless there’s restoration? How are you going to get a Millennium, unless there’s a resurrection?

How are you going to get a Millennium, unless there’s glorification? How are you going to get it, unless He comes and does it?

The epochal season… now, the epochal season referred to in John 1:3 is found in Revelation 1:10. “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day.”

So, the epochal season is the Lord’s Day that which surrounds It. And it’s got its own spirit. Yep! Yeah. Now, the Spirit differs from number 6.

Page number 6 was the fervent missionary, go on out and bring them in, scatter the seed, open door, tremendous, Seventh Seal, rather Seven Church Age is what? “Come out of her my people.” Yeah. It’s the closing off. It’s a bad situation.

All right, it is the season of the Lord’s Day. Certainly. And please note, it is a season with the climax of the takeover of Revelation 19:11.

The Bride and the Groom. And the life, or spirit manifesting is,

Now, God can’t live and die. No way can god die. So what you got? You got an incarnation here. See, “I’m the first and last.”

You can put that many ways, but I can’t, I just say, “that’s Alpha and Omega.” That’s God, I just can’t see anything but Elohim right there.

All right. This is putting on the physical, or visible, or apprehendable form. You must then think of the Judge in this hour. You can’t do otherwise.

You got to go to Scripture and relate everything you see in Scripture about the Judge, if you want to go on with revelation.

Now, if you just want to stop and say, “there’s one God, hallelujah,” that’s not what the prophet said.

He said, “Judge, hallelujah.” He said, “between the time He’s Priest and King, Prophet and King, He’s Judge.”

Now, that Day of the Lord that sees Him coming back with the Rod of Iron, with the Bride and dissolving these things, my brother, my sister is King, because He’s crowned. The Judge is crowned.

So, we see a transition period. A turning of the corner. What is the corner? Judge! Okay, just keep listening.

Now, this manifestation in verses 12-18 is the chemistry, or the chemically compounded form of the Spirit which is telling us clearly what the nature or role of that Spirit is at that time. How do you get a spirit of a dog moving? You put him in a dog.

How about a spirit of cancer? You can’t put it in a TB form, it won’t work. Now, you can’t put the Lamb in this form, it won’t work. You can’t put the King right there, it won’t work.

You got to put Him as Judge. Is that right? Well sure it’s right! Anybody knows that, the prophet said so. He said He was Judge. If a prophet said so, the prophet said so.

Jack Moore said, “Hey,” he said, “that’s in His glory, His glorified form.”

And Something said, “Oh, no, no, no, that can’t be it.”

And so, he went to Him, and Him, told him. Him, God, told William Branham him. He said. “Judge.” So Judge. Now, he’s alive, there’s got to be a spirit there.

“Well,” you say, “there’s a soul there too.”

I ain’t going to say there’s no soul there, come on, I’m not arguing those things, I’m just trying to tell you something. See?

There’s a nature that is released through the spirit, and the intrinsic thing within works through the spirit to this outward manifestation. That’s why when that spirit is there waiting for you, there’s something already there that’s called a soul.

And in there is a seed, and if the Spirit of God ever falls on your soul, then it will begin to act through your spirit, through your body, and if there’s nothing there it’ll just be something, but it won’t be God.

It won’t be a born again. And you could even be foolish virgin, that thing work out, but you’d have to go clean to the judgment day to get your real change then. We don’t. I hope that’s not over your head, my heaven, by now it shouldn’t be.

I want to repeat: this manifestation of the Judge in verses 12-18 is the chemistry. What he saw in a physical form, the chemically compounded form, the same as He had to take on Him as a baby.

It’s a chemically compounded form of the spirit which is telling us clearly what the nature of the role of that spirit of that time is. Deep within the soul of Almighty God lay the Judge.

So now, He is going to manifest as a Judge. So therefore, the key is here, and it took a prophet to tell us what it was. Now we know Judge, the Day of the Lord. Which ends in the climatic of coming back King.

Can’t be a takeover unless there’s a pronouncement, because God is judicious. He is called ‘the Righteous Judge’.

“Shall not the righteous judge, or the judge of all the earth, which is the righteous judge, do right?” He’ll do right. He’ll have a court. He’ll set everything in order. That’s why we, the Bride, get’s restored, because she’s out of order.

And the Judge comes down and He says, “Just a minute, he said, just a minute, this little, this little child here, this dear little beautiful girl, she has been badly been abused by her guardian’s the world church.”

He said, “Come out of her my people.” He said, “I will take over and minister. I will wash her and dress her, and I will show that this is My beloved.”

You say, “Man …?… ” Is that so?

He said, “I am the Judge, but, He said, I am also the King.” He said, “I can do these things, I have the authority. All I have to do is pronounce and say ‘this is the Word’, and watch the power of God go into action.”

That is exactly why Brother Branham could do what he did! It was the exercise by God of His Own power within the prophet, for the words of a man don’t do it. It took the Word of God!

But the Word of God in the mouth of a man, in the Word of God! “Perfect sinless righteous Bride.”

Let’s get up and scream for God’s sake let’s do something. Tear the place apart. I’m going to tell you: the rocks won’t even hold their peace.

And one day they’re going to turn to law, but to prove it my brother and sister, because they cannot hold their peace. Yeah.

So, slow moving atoms that are so slow that people think they’re standing still, will begin to flow rapidly with the heat of His Presence. What should a Bride do?

You think of a woman doesn’t get passionate around the right man that the Bride shouldn’t be passionate around her husband?

Well, the wife hasn’t seen her husband for months, and after six months he comes and, “I’m here dear.”

“So, I noticed.” She goes on doing the dishes.

If my wife had not kicked the bucket over when she’s doing the floor to grab me, I’d have thrown her and the bucket outside the door.”

That’s what happens, “I used to know you as my wife, but I do not know you as my wife anymore.” That’s what He says.

It is the role of the Judge in the Day of the Lord, it was not John 1:29, “Behold the Lamb of God.”

Neither had It come to Revelation 19:11, the crown King. But he Judge with the role of the King beginning to appear, because it’s the ushering in.

When was God not judicious? He said, “the seed of the woman is going to bruise the serpent’s head.” And that word in Hebrew is ‘seeds’. Because, the ‘seeds’ are in the seed. Yep! Right? …?…

All right, now, He said, “less he go to the Tree of Life and live forever.” Sentence has run out.

Who is going to say, “it’s time to get man off his probation?” Judge! When the judge says it, the nation that instituted the courts and the law must execute it.

Oh, I’m glad He’s King as well as Judge, I’m sick and tired of these judges out here. Fap! Let me get out of here.

So, the Day of the Lord produces a nature, or an atmosphere that John entered into. He was there in a spirit. He was a part of it in his spirit. He was one with it. Even as there are four beasts through Seven Church Ages.

The first had a spirit of a lion.

The next an ox: they stood in line to by martyred. Come on!

The spirit of a man.

The last, the spirit of an eagle.

Men who rise up and do things with the power that God gave them. Now, it’s God rising up to do with the power that He has for man, this is our age.

The Eagle up there bringing the revelation, the Judge. Because, the Judge has the Word and He reveals the Word. The prophet turned judge. What is the Word?

And they went to William Branham and they said, “What about this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this?” Hundreds of questions.

“Well,” he said, “I’ll inquire.” And he found out.

That was the Judge. That was a prophet turned judge. That was, that’s the Day of the Lord. That was discerning men’s hearts and minds.

So, the righteous judgment was a righteous judgment, it wasn’t some horse-play. It wasn’t some whim. It wasn’t some fancy. It wasn’t something based upon an non fact, or lie.

Let’s read Hebrews 4:12. Look at my Bible, opened to It. That doesn’t mean anything, you know, really, I’m not playing Russian roulette, Scripture roulette.

Who’s here? The Spirit of the Judge; court rooms, as it were. What’s He going to do for the Bride? Um? Hmm, hmm see?

Okay, it is the atmosphere of the presiding Judge of the Day of the Lord that is spelled under,

Here He is, what’s the verdict, now that He’s here? Oh, they don’t what Him to descend with a Shout. They want Him down at the river appearing: “Hello boys and girls, it’s nice. I’m really not here.”

Let’s play little games. Let’s be honest, there’s not one of us here that’s not playing games right at this hour. Just like Sarah. Oh, we’re so self righteous… “Oh boy, if I’d have been there, I wouldn’t have laughed.”

No, you’d have been going “ha, ha, ha, ha,” is what most of them do, not just laughing up her sleeve. She wasn’t one who tried kill him, she just laughed. At the end time, “they crucified to themselves the Son of God afresh.”

Sarah was not against, but she just didn’t believe it. But, the gates of hell are against His Presence. And Brother Branham said, “I wasn’t the one the One that Appeared, He Appeared.”

Saturday night I will read you some things at the meeting. Be ready. You don’t have to go of course, it’s your business, but it’s going to be very interesting. And I haven’t lied to you yet. God helping me, it will be very interesting.

In the Patmos vision, Brother Branham said, “He was Judge, not yet King,” we brought that out. It is the supreme Judge with the authority of life and death.

For he fell at His feet as dead, and the One standing there said, “Well might you decide to stay there. Well might you lie there. Well might you die.”

He said,

You know why? Because, the Judge interprets the Word.

Come on, listen:

Oh, He made a promise. God can’t lie.

“Oh,” says the legalist, “you see, God didn’t lie when He said the promise of eternal life was there. If you want to come and get it, you can have it.”

The Bible says: “No man ever comes except God draws him.”

Oh, these legalists, they make me so sick. That’s why you better pray for me at the Columbus meetings. I not… kid you not. I rip and snort enough without getting in public and ripping and snorting. It’s bad enough here.

And I say, if they want to hear the tapes it’s their tough luck if they, you know, get problems. I can’t help it, I got problems myself. What am I supposed to do with you?

The Supreme Judge, life and death. “I fell at His feet as dead,” and I would have been. Because in that day, “come out of her My people or you’re dead.” Yep.

You say, “Brother Vayle, I don’t know if I believe that”. Oh, come on. Phfft!

“I will kill her, and her children with death.” Second death.

But the promise made, I don’t care what man does. I don’t care how rotten he is. You can be Genghis Khan, and you can still be born again if he was seed to begin with.

It is the hour of the righteous Judge to make the decision to: “separate the wheat from the tares; who’s fan is in His hand and thoroughly purge His floor and gather the wheat in the garner, but burn up the chaff.”

You say, “Just a minute, Brother Branham said, ‘Pentecostal’s were chaff’, I hate to see them burn.” You don’t go far enough.

Brother Branham said, “It is not the people in the organization, it is the organization.”

But, if you throw your lot with that which is to be burned don’t be surprised if you get burned. See, listen, will show you that in a minute.

And the tragic thing is this: that the burning is brought on by themselves in the face of the greatest manifestation of evidence that this is the hour of His Presence the world has ever seen.

In Acts 3:19,

“When times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, I am going to let you know I am here, Present. I am going to let you know that I am Coming after that Presence is there by the Spirit. I am going to come in flesh. But, I’m going to tell you between the time of My Appearing, which is through the Spirit, and the time of My Coming in the flesh, there will be a Bride restored that I can come and get.”

And that’s exactly right.

And It says, “everybody who doesn’t listen to that prophet at that time, will be obliterated.” And how in the world can you have people living at the Millennium as they try to tell you we’re going to come and take over?

John became an example of that authority as seen in Revelation 1:17, he fell at His feet as dead.

Thus we see the Day of the Lord brings the spirit of life and the spirit of death. That’s exactly true. Man must now face the issue, or verdict of his disposition for it is that hour.

For if He is truly here with a fan in His hand, and there’s got to come a time when He who baptizes with the Holy Ghost and with Fire appears with the fan in His hand that separates, then there’s got to be a verdict. Of what? Who is righteous and who’s not.

Now, the Bible distinctly says, that the opening of the Seals, “the righteous are righteous, the wicked are wicked,” you have your answer. Under Malachi, when Elijah comes, we will know who is righteous and who is not righteous. We will know.

This is exactly as it should be, for the Day of the Lord is a season, it’s climaxed in Revelation 19:7-21 when It talks about a Bride having been made ready, and the same Bride coming back with Him who is crowned. So He is made ready. And we will judge upon this earth.

Let us look at Revelation 11:15-19. Now, you can read for yourself Revelation 19:7-21 all the way into chapter 20:1-6. But in Revelation 11, It says:

Now, that happened over there in chapter 5 when the Seals were opened. So the Seals are opened.

Who is stalking the land today? The Judge is stalking the land. And He says the times here. This is the hour. The fan is in the hand. Separating time, all the mysteries being revealed.

The lawyer goes before the Judge, the preachers go before the Judge, we all went before the Judge. Spirit of God in William Branham.

We said, “Brother Branham, what about this, what about that? What about this, what about that? It’s how I interpret the Word. Interpret the Word. Interpret the Word.”

Who interprets the Word? Not the lawyer. He does his best to build a case. That’s your bunch of preachers. You’ve got more preachers for the devil, than you’ve got for God. Don’t ever kid yourself.

You’ve got more preachers against you. You’ve got forty. Don’t ever kid yourself. You think you’ve got more preachers for you than against you, let me tell you something, dismiss the church now and go on home, I’m done.

You ain’t fit to be around here. To be honest, I just tell you flat. You ain’t fit to name the Name of Jesus Christ, because you’re not even born again. “Many more are the children of the wicked, the desolate, than she that’s got a husband.”

Brother Branham said… supposed to have said, I don’t know, but the man that said this, I think he told it said, not that many fivefold.

Doesn’t mean there’s only five fivefold, less than three, less than five, fivefold ministry, because you’d have to have five to begin with. He’s just letting you know.

You think there’s not a mess going on? Come on! You think the devil doesn’t know his time is short. Ha, don’t you think he doesn’t know the Seals are opened? Don’t you think he doesn’t know he’s been exposed?

If I didn’t know that Brother Branham’s life was in God’s hand, so the devil couldn’t touch Brother Branham in any way shape or form, you had better believe that the devil killed Brother Branham before he could spill the beans on the ‘Trail of the Serpent’. But, God doesn’t do things like that.

Now, the time of the dead. See, there It is:

Death, and there’s a spirit there, one life and one death. The spirit of life in the Bride, and everything that’s in life, she endorses and rejoices, and jubilee is here. “I’ve been in prison too long and my jailers I’m glad to get away from them.”

Oh, I’m sure that when Moses left for the Promised Land he went over to the jailer that had him put in jail years ago and he said, “Please,” he said, “come with me, because I love my dear old jailers.”

And I’m sure when the water parted Moses stood there and he said, “Now Lord, let them come through also, he said, I just love those dear Egyptians, let them come through.”

You say, “Brother Vayle, you’re getting blood thirsty.” I’m not blood thirsty. The trouble is people don’t understand the Word of God.

Look it, I just might be stupid and say, “Oh Lord, poor old Pharaoh, let him come over here.” Then when he comes over he cuts my throat as soon as he got there.

Listen folk, what do you think the devil does in the Second Resurrection? He comes and leads everybody against God.

Get your love lined up brother/sister, get your loved lined up, and get rid of this hogwash that’s supposed to be called love; where people love a lie.

And they love liars. Eve was seduced through a liar. All seducers are liars, because they promise to marry the girl and they don’t, they leave her in the lurch.

How many times do you got to get deceived and pregnant before you understand what seduction is?

Woman in our neighborhood years ago, this man had a woman just living in his place, then when she got pregnant illicitly, he kicked her out. Because, he found out she’d already been pregnant by a man before.

And he said, “What was the matter with your head,” he said, “this first one left you?”

“Well,” she said, “he’d marry me.”

“Didn’t the first one say he’d marry you too?”

“Oh yeah.” Oh, merciful God.

You know Jesus never lost the marriage vow to sin? The devil did. Oh, brother/sister.

Let’s go back to,

All right, this is most definitely the Omega Who was once the Alpha. Now, if was He was Alpha and Omega, and this is the Omega, what is the Alpha? Well, what can be the Alpha?

This is the Lord having His Day. Leading His people into His Kingdom, which is the Millennium. See? We sat that in Revelation 11.

So, the Alpha, you got to go back to the Exodus, physical, because ours is physical. Not spiritual anymore, it’s physical. The spiritual and physical, but physical.

We go to,

Now look it, that tells you flat that there’s coming a time as there, because that’s the Alpha. That in the hour of the Omega something has got to become known to you.

The Seals, the Thunders are not opened. You can’t go to heaven to get the secret. You can’t go back east, John’s dead. You can’t get the secret.

But as a Light that shiniest from the east to the west, so shall also the Presence. “The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven.”

And what does It say?

Now, you say, “Well, there’s some kind of commandment I got to do.” I’ll go into that sometime. Haven’t got time today. I’ve got to go to 1 John and weave that in, haven’t got time.

Life and death. Good and evil. The spirit of life. The spirit of death. The spirit of good. The spirit of evil. And it’s in a word that comes in a mouth. Who’s mouth? The prophet’s mouth. Then our mouth.

And that Word makes a difference. They did that over in Malachi. “And they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened unto them, and a book of remembrance was written.”

And he said, those are my jewels. And those are the ones that know wicked from the righteous, they know who serves God and who doesn’t.” See?

Now:

Now, we’re not going to multiply anymore, that’s already done, we’re going in to possess. But the principle’s the same.

Now, It tells you right here, this is the end-time. Because if the Lord is our length of days we’re going to go on and on and on, it’s never going to end. So, you’ve got the Alpha.

Now listen, if the Alpha was significant in that it was marvelous, but the revelation of man on Sinai kill what’ll be the end-time?

For It tells you that the glory of that hour of this, hasn’t any glory at all in the light of the glory that now is.

Now, I’m going to get you a quote here, I’m going to read it at the end of my message again.

Now listen here: Brother Branham says in ‘Communion’, page 78. “If God ever sends His power to the church, it’ll be His grace; not the obedience of the people.”

Now, that is what we’re talking about in Ephesians 1:17-23.

Okay, to the land sworn, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Now Abraham didn’t look for a land, he looked for a City. So, there’s where we’re going.

Okay, the final warning before the entrance. We get the same thing, which is in Revelation 22:18-19.

Now, this would be the atmosphere, goes without question. All we have to do is read the two chapters of the Church Age, and you can see the Judge in every age.

Let’s go to the two chapters. Now, let’s just go to and read,

Now, It tells you that. So, it’s always been the Judge. The pronouncement has always been in the Word.

The mandatory date of sentencing can never come to pass, until Alpha becomes Omega, which is the cup of the Amorites is not yet full.

Now, when the world church gets full and ready for judgment, that’s the time He comes. “Come out of her My people.” And the Judge begins bringing them out.

All right, we see the death comes in Revelation 22:18-19. And that add a Word, and take a Word, the tribulation comes in. That add a Word or take a Word started in 2 Corinthians 11.

They were seduced by the serpent as Eve was, because they’re minds were polluted. If the minds were polluted under Alpha of the beginning of the Church Age, under the Omega of the Church Age, I’m talking about the beginning of an Omega Church, I’m not talking about God now, the beginning and end, then if there’s restoration the mind must become unpolluted. It’s what It says.

They started with a polluted mind. She was deceived, she was corrupted. See? That’s the same as in,

There’s one gate of salvation, that’s Jesus the Christ. Judgment is in the land before we return to that gate.

Now watch:

Now notice:

In other words, Brother Branham said, “The measure of the Word and the Holy Spirit was synonymous.”

And they said, “This is the Holy Spirit, the Word? Drop dead, gifts is the Holy Spirit,” and they walked on.

Now, God’s going to laugh them in derision. God brought strong delusion. The very gift ministry destroys them. The life has gone out of it.

Listen, if that’s the truth, then death is in the gifts not life. Why do people want to fool with gifts? You better put them in order to know the life is there.

And if they don’t manifest under order leave them alone. Watch were your churches have gone. A lot of preachers won’t have gifts in the church, but they sure like to think they can exercise amongst the folk.

“Oh, I got a vision. I got this, I saw that.” Fap!

One fellow told me something, and he was just a brother sitting here right now he told it on him. Said, “God reveal it.”

Then I find out from the brother that God couldn’t have revealed it, because the brother didn’t do it. So much for his cotton-pickin vision, or his prophecy, his hogwash. They said they wouldn’t take it.

In other words, it backfired on him. He held them accountable, that they might fall backward and be broken and snared and taken. By whom? Rome! Who did it? Mr. Pentecost. Mr. Trinitarian Pentecost.

Now, let’s face it, you know his name, His name is Mr. du Plessis. And by now I think he ought to be dead, because he’s real old, but he’s still living. Makes you think doesn’t it? If I’m wrong, may God get me out of here.

You know what they’ll do? Take the antichrist. This show down is at hand brother/sister. Or don’t you think it’s going on?

What do you think is going on? If He is here, His fan is in His hand. He is separating. I don’t care what anybody says. You believe what you want.

However, notice the promises here in 16 and 17.

In other word, they placed the same one at the beginning is revealed at the end. “The same yesterday, today, and forever.” Absolutely.

Okay, blend this with,

And,

In other words, He will be what? The manifested Son. You follow? Manifestation of Son. Adoption. And it comes in the Resurrection, the fullness. It’s coming now.

There’s a manifestation now, and the manifestation is believing that Word what God is going to do. Not obedience now.

Malachi 4:

How? Because Elijah’s there. See? Life and death. Blessing, curse. Good and evil. Righteousness, wickedness. Serve God, don’t serve God. It’s all there.

Revelation 10:1-7, all the mysteries are running out. Time runs out under the Seventh Seal. The ushering in of the Millennium. He’s here. The Prophet is here. The Judge is here. The whole thing is here.

Why? Because the revelation is here. And the Judge alone can reveal. But listen, He was that before He was incarnated in a Body called the Word.

It was not Jesus that came down to Abraham, that was the One without father and mother. Jesus had a father and mother. This is Elohim.

This is the One that said, “Sit there until I make every enemy Your footstool.” So, He’s sitting a waiting for it. That’s our Bridegroom in the flesh. God is here.

God separated to dispel the darkness by sending light. Brother Branham said so, we read that in the study in ‘Man Who Turned on the Light’.

He separates life and death by reason of being Light, and bringing light. He just left the rest stay there dead. That’s all. “The rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years.”

He comes on the scene there’s death, so He just leaves them dead. He walks on with us. Sure. He brings life in the midst of death. “It’s appointed unto man once to die,” but these aren’t going to die.

Notice the Alpha in,

Now, what makes them holy? God makes us holy. He does the separating. His fan is in His hand. See?

All right, the Omega is,

And if you don’t partake of her sins, what do you get? You get God. This is,

This is the Presence of God in 1 Corinthians 15:23, and the changing of the mortal to immortality. This is 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10.

We’re not of those that are ordained unto wrath. We’re ordained unto those who will not have wrath.

Yes, the very atmosphere of life and death. The atmosphere of finality. The atmosphere of no return is in the land in this season. It is a ‘spirit’, an aura, that might well be put as in,

All right, preparing dinner and preparing to eat dinner are sure two different things. If the wife prepares the dinner, she says to her husband, “you better prepare for dinner.” That means he washes his hands and comes in. She’s prepared the dinner.

This here says, “prepare war.” Doesn’t say, “prepare for war.” Says, “prepare war.”

In other words, the spirit of death is got to come in the land. There’s got to be an atmosphere for war.

That’s what Russia did. The Americans were strong, said “I’m weak.” They’re trying to get strong, it’s too late.

Now, let’s go over here to 1 Corinthians 15, again and look at what we see here. This is my Bible is just about worn out on this chapter.

There He is. Now what’s going to happen to us? Who’s going to take care of us?

It said,

There you are, same thing. The very atmosphere of the land. It savors more of death than life to the world. That’s the atmosphere of the Day of the Lord, Revelation 19:17-21.

Nations are gripped in a suicidal and genocidal spirit, and we are just awaiting the first pull of the trigger to send the earth into a atomic convulsion.

Nazism and Communism have a spirit of genocide to destroy the Jews, and America will soon join in, they’ll betray them first for the oil.

On the other hand, a Bride with no evidence other than the Word is maturing rapidly into life immortal, and she has the revelation of the Rapture, and therefore has rapturing faith.

“Oh,” you say, “Brother Vayle I want rapturing faith.”

I got it.

You say, “How come?”

I-I-I am. I don’t care if I die or anything. Say, I got it.

“Why?”

He said so.

You say, “Well, you got to have something out there.”

You got to be nuts. He told me, “Don’t look out there, don’t look at the church, don’t look at anything, look at the Word.”

And that’s what I did, I looked at the Word and the Word says, “Hey, you got it made.” See?

We are today exactly, 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 that Paul said, “A savor of life unto life, and death unto death. In death to them that perish and life unto us that are living.” I’ve got a savor of life.

You say, “I know it.”

You say, “Brother Vayle, what if you want if something happened?”

Why, I’m not worried about that, because you see, here’s the point, it doesn’t matter.

You say, “Well how?”

Because, the die has been cast, I’m sorry. If there’s anything to this thing I’m on the right side. And I don’t have to lie about it, or anything else.

I don’t have to puff myself, or make myself look good, because I can never make myself look good. Fap! What can I do to look good?

I got my Kentucky colonel suit on today, that doesn’t mean that I’m with a bunch of chickens. I with the eagles.

What does it matter? I could never look that good. What does it matter? If I look good to my wife, she looks good to me that’s all that counts. See?

So here we are.

“Why,” he said, “I’ll tell you what is sufficient, the incorruptible Word that I gave you is going to bring about living Epistles that prove that they are the Epistles through the transformation by the revealed Word which is at the end-time, Christ Logos absolutely in our midst revealed.”

Even this Written Christ coming to life. This Book without Spirit is just a book brother, let’s face it brother/sister.

I tried to preach Christ the descended Word, I preached everything about the Logos, but the truth, He Himself is here. Put it anyway that you want to put it.

We are at the Valley of decision, which valley is made by two mountains, Ebal and Gerizim, blessing and cursing. We’re going in.

New Jerusalem and the second death is in plain view. You don’t believe it? Let’s read It.

But, what about the others? “Why,” He said, “I’ll give them a new name. Write my name on their forehead, make them New Jerusalem,” and so on.

Now,

See, they got engaged religiously. They’re a bunch of unbelievers, they say, “aw, drop dead, I got business.” Business goes on as usual.

Nothing has happened or will happened like H.G. Wells said. The other were religious, they got mad and beat these poor guys up.

You think they won’t persecute you? Of course I fight back. The Bible says, “you’ve run from city to city when the persecute you.”

I haven’t had to run from city to city, but I can sure run from tape to tape. Sermon to sermon. Insult to insult. I’m not proud of it, just my dirty nature.

But, I tell you one thing, if this is not worth fighting for the way I believe it, I’d quit preaching. If I can’t stand up and be counted, just because a bunch of little Pentecostal pussy cats running around the country. See?

They accuse me of running around the world splitting churches. I haven’t run around splitting any churches.

But, I can tell you right now who went down to… [long blank spot on tape] …today there ain’t no pussy cat Pentecost liar. I went to no church, split no church.

My messages were always exploratory and explanatory. But a church that’s split that’s your business not mine. God never did come to bring peace to anybody, he came to bring a sword. The sword cuts both ways.

It was a sword that Brother Branham said dressed a Bride. “Bring on your holy vesture.” He said, “The Sword of the King.” And he screamed, “Bring on the Holy Vesture” with the Holy Word of God standing by. Yep, oh yeah, so much for Pentecostal pussy cats.

We can go into death by means of the false glare of denominational Pentecostalism, denominational Christianity, or go to the very Image of Christ the first-fruit of Almighty God, by coming to Him Who is Present and is the Light.

We are into the image of Light and Life, because Light is what is reflected, and it speaks of a mirror and it is the Life, the Light, or the Word that brings Life; and It is that Word that said He is here. “For John the Baptist foreran the first coming of Christ, so your Message foreruns the second.”

And he said, “My ministry is to declare [Him] that He is here.” [That Time 62-07-13] So, what is the Message? This is my ministry, a Message. What is it? To declare that He is here. Not coming, see?

So, it sums up to this, man has been for two thousand years, and even now judging God. But, at this moment, though man is unaware the Judging God’s judgment are in earth, the prophet said so.

I want to stand with Paul this day at the end of time, at the end of the Christian warfare and say with all the Bride, “We have fought a good fight, we’ve finished the course. We have kept the faith, henceforth for us there’s laid up a crown of righteousness which the righteous Judge shall give us.” It’s already made up.

All those who love His Appearing. What is His Appearing? The ‘epiphaneia’, His shining upon us. How can you lie in the Presence of the Son, His shining, if He’s not here?

Brother Branham said, “the glory that came to Luther, he said, that was a fine glory. It was a greater glory that came to Wesley. A greater glory that came to Pentecost. But, he said, This glory.”

Theirs is nothing by reason of This. Because, This glory never fades. The Life never runs out of This. Because you see, the Bride won’t organize. She won’t add, she won’t take.

His epiphaneia, His brightness coming more and more into the Church. And many got in the way and they said, “Oh great mighty Luther…” I think he’s a very nice man.

“Oh great might Wesley,” and his name is tremendous, and along came William Branham, nobody knows him, and they’re be no history, because it’s all going to burn. Yep, yep, yep. But, so will theirs.

They greatest one of all the presented His Presence, yeah, he won’t be mentioned.

I can see us gathering around the Great Throne when we worship Him King of kings and Lord of lords, and I can see the greatest screamers of all time of the Bride age will be men like John the revelator, the apostle Paul, good old Irenaeus, Columba, Martin, Luther, Wesley, and it just may be that William Branham might scream the loudest, I don’t know.

I don’t know, I’m not trying to place anybody anywhere, but, I want to be there. By the grace of God I’ll be with the ranks of William Branham.

You say, “Why?” Because, that’s Seventh Church Age.

And you’ll remember in the old days when anybody when they did die, it said that old David (you know) they wept (you know) over this great general died, and everybody wept, and David (that was the time when they used to show how you loved him by (you know) screaming in a sobbing) and it said, David exceeded in weeping, (you know) and bawling.

I don’t want to be, I hope I can at least… I’m not being equal to some men, no, no, but, I hope I do top some people at least in being able to scream praises unto God, maybe. I just hope so, I don’t know if I can do it or not. I hope so. I really do. I’ll be satisfied if I can just be there and say, “praise God.”

Shining in His strength. His out-shining radiant Logos Presence that brings us into immortality. What a glory is here, that never fades and goes into immortality. I say unequivocally the Spirit, the Presence, the nature, the aura.

The compelling realization of life is not death. The compelling realization is life and not death. And it is ours, and yet the certainty of death to the unrighteous makes us know you can’t have the one without the other.

And you cannot have one without accepting the other. For He said, “Bring my enemies that I may slay them, and they shall be slain.”

For I can hear Him say as John said, “Fear not, I am the Alpha and I am the Omega.” “I am the great God in the midst of thee, when you shall live and not die.”

And I’m going to just close with that I read: if God ever sends His power to the Church, it will be grace not the obedience of the people.

And Paul prayed that that Spirit would come. The Spirit of revelation of wisdom and knowledge of Him, that the eyes of your heart being opened you may perceive and thoroughly know Him, and what He is to us.

All those things which in turn will bring the power of the Resurrection in our midst, and that is ours, and that is the Day of the Lord and I believe that That is here, we are in the midst of It.

Let’s rise at this time shall we.

Heavenly Father, we are glad and we rejoice that this is that hour. It is the epic climax; the corner having been turned of the Day of the Lord. Coming back upon this earth with a Bride.

King of kings and Lord of lords, and I know, Lord, that this very unequivocally set forth in Scripture that to get this day there is war in heaven, for even Michael fights with the devil to kick him out.

And You will come back and fight with the enemy, and there is a great spiritual warfare going on. But we know the decision is there. Thou art mine, and because I live you’ll live, and we know all the rest goes into death.

Lord, in this hour we know there is a spirit that must be with us, God, let that spirit by Your Spirit as You interpret, and You in Your way live it Yourself concerning this hour.

That we may be so solidly one with You, our eyes so fixed upon You, that we will be oblivious to all else so that though death stalks the land, the Spirit of life is so preeminent, and has given such eminence amongst us, that we don’t have any time for death.

Our thoughts are on Thee, O God, our minds, our hearts are fixed on Thee is what we desire to say with the fullness of the Holy Spirit exercising that within us.

Lord, take over these vessels as never before. Help us to learn to get out of the way as the prophet said. And then we won’t have one bit of trouble with the Spirit of the end-time.

But, It shall be the glorious Spirit of Life all the way. We are dealing with life, we know we are not dealing with death. Though death is in the land, Lord, we know that Israel escaped, it was the Blood of the Lamb.

Thank God for the Blood today. We look for our redemption, be believe we’re in the midst of it now. Redemption’s day sealing off of six thousand years.

Father, we don’t even know what that means. How can we begin to understand, O God, until You reveal and take us more and more into it? Just what has gone on, and is going on.

But the prophet said, when we’re brought up to date and know what’s going on, he said, that does it. That does it, that’s what went over there with Israel.

That’s what went over there at the time of Your Son upon earth. That’s what we believe the time is here now, Lord, that does it. We’re right back to the home stretch.

And, Father, I got faith in You. And we’re not going any one of us by emotions, or anything else today, though there is wonderful aura in this hour that does bring up emotions and things, but we’re going strictly upon faith in that Word.

And unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be all power in honor and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

‘The Lord bless you.’
