Omega Reflection #04

[Pre-amble very unclear.]

Gracious eternal God, we’re so grateful this morning, for this people to be coming here to hear Your Word that You bring that is indeed the Word which is to manifest Your [Inaudible].

That we might feed upon It, Lord, and we might absolutely receive that which is given our minds this morning we pray.

May the people understand that this is a problem of the mind, it is not of the heart, because we suppose and believe correctly that every single person here, has a heart which is reaching out, a deep calling unto deep. Everybody has some kind of a deep.

But, Lord, there is a peculiar depth which is calling specifically for that Word. And It comes up to the minds, the minds must be unveiled.

We pray, Lord, this morning, that the mind will become unveiled as never before. That It may absolutely hear and apprehend what is being said, and to what end it is being said that can make it right down into the very soul.

In order to have the eyes of the heart illuminated, the soul responding, right down within the nucleus, Lord, right down to the very atoms, which bring about a change.

So, Father, we commend ourselves to You today. We absolutely do that which is true, and You are showing us these things O God. They have already been revealed to us by the prophet, and put it into our own lives, and the protection that we as individuals…

So, Lord, we commend ourselves to You at this time. Believing You have heard our prayer, believing that we are one with You in this respect.

In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, we’re not necessarily [inaudible] this morning, but we’re going to speak on the ‘Omega Reflection,’ and I’m going to put my little recorder on here. I’ll put this right here I think… All right.

The ‘Omega Reflection’ and we’re going to read in 2 Corinthians the 3rd chapter: and we’ll read the entire chapter, and we’ll get into chapter 4 also.

Now, you will notice that this man is very bold. He is very gruff, he is very blunt, and he is exceedingly insulting, to those who think they are something.

For he said, “I am separate from you, I do not need your commendation. And I do not need others’ commendation. I am standing here and telling you something, and you better listen.”

Oh, you say, “Brother Vayle, no man can talk that way.”

He has just talked that way. “Who needs you?” he says. “What have you got to contribute? What have you done for me? What can you do for me? I don’t need anything,” said the apostle Paul, as he stood there. Huh… Huh?

Oh, that’s not a Christian. But it may be a type of Christianity you never ran into. Huh?

Come on, get your thinking caps on. Start changing this morning brother/sister, start changing. Why change?

This Bible is not the Bible you thought you read all your lives. It’s a different Bible, and different God. Not some dotty old grandfather.

So, Paul says here, “Who needs you? What have you contributed to me? What person has done something?”

Now,

I think back in the days of Paul,… this is going to be a lo-o-ong time this morning… but I think, back in the days of Paul.

There were men who came by and said, “That apostle Paul, let me tell you something, you should have seen the guys hanging around him. There’s one loonie jerk that hung around him with a red beard. And I want to tell you, if my brother had not gone down to visit the apostle Paul, who was being led by the nose around by this loony guy with the red beard, he’d be all messed up.”

And the woman said, “Well, let me tell you something: that fellow doesn’t know half what he thinks, because he doesn’t like women. Us women, got a real share in this thing. And I’ve had prophecy’s that came to pass.” You think that didn’t happen?

Yes, it did. And why did he talk this way? Why did a man named Cloyd Mc Cleary in my presence say, “My brother went down to Jeffersonville where William Branham was led around by the nose, by a man named Hooley.” Huh? He never changes.

I knew William Branham… I talked about Hooley. He let me know that he kicked him off of his property. But William Branham was never led around by the nose by anybody.

And I have been accused as one who distorted his doctrine. And I said, “On the contrary, I laid my doctrine down for his.”

And Paul said, “Do I need something from you?” He said, “I never took a penny from you even. I never let you to give me a living. I brought my own bread, and my own water.”

This morning I say the same thing to you. Who needs any of us? If there has been a man of this stature, let me tell you, God is not impoverished, and He does not have men of such stature, that He wholly controls them.

And He makes the impress, and He makes the difference. Not the people. Yeah, I knew such a man.

So, Paul said, “You are epistles, I’m the one that had the influence. I’m the one that stood before you and something was given me to get right down within your very souls, to make you letters written.”

Now, I’m going to tell you something, when you write a letter, and sign your name to it, don’t pretend that you didn’t write it. Don’t pretend you can weasel out.

I’m glad this morning, I don’t have to pretend anything, or weasel out, because I believe I am an epistle written at the end-time by a prophet, called William Branham.

And I’m not trying to weasel out. I’m trying to make sure that, we place him, where he belongs. Which is not above God, but as a true vicar of Christ, because the Catholics are not wrong on their doctrine, they are wrong on where they take it.

It is like the rock that you hold in your hand, is very fine to crush a walnut, but not to crush somebody’s head… same rock. Where are you taking it?

Now he said,

Somebody said, “Who needs him? What’s with this Paul anyway?” He said, “Look, you’re the epistle of Christ, but you’re ministered by us. Without me, you don’t get to be.”

See listen: there is a spirit in the church today called Laodicea, which is ‘people’s rights’. Which makes the few rise up against the ordained authority which God has set in His Church, which is a true five-fold ministry.

Not a junky, corrupt imitation five-fold ministry, but a true five-fold ministry. And above it there’s the prophet, in this case a Word prophet, who was in our day, a Word prophet.

And there is no ministry of the Holy Spirit, outside of that person, because he is literally the ministry or the channel of that power.

Now, that makes peoples’ hearts get very frightened. Makes them rebellious. But it’s the Word of God.

Now, he said, “You’re ministered by us.” And you can’t get away from it. Written within.

Now, he said, “If you accept this, and understand what I’m telling you, I am a man apart, or ordained of God to do something for you which the Holy Ghost Himself, is going to do through me.

Now he said, “You look at me, he said, my speech isn’t too good,” …just like Moses. He said, “I’m not a handsome individual. I don’t stand before you as some glamour boy, or some whiz kid, or some greatly talented person.”

He said, “In fact, the very education I received, I count as manure.” Yeah. William Branham, skunk skinner, Paul, manure piler. What’s that make us? He said, “I never did say I have anything in myself.”

What I’m trying to tell you, there’s an ordained channel. And God uses that channel. And if you miss that channel, you can talk all you want about God.

Scream all you want about God. Talk in tongues all you want about God. And prophesy all you want. And it’s all real, but you’re not real.

Tell me Balaam was real. Balaam was a phoney. But his prophesy is still coming to pass in this hour. He died fighting the children of God.

So don’t get your wires crossed at a time like this. The man stood there between God and men.

The man stood there and Paul himself said, “I am the espouser of the Bride to Christ. I stand between you Bride, and Christ, and I’m wedding you, I’m bringing you together.”

You say, “Oh, I can’t believe that.”

Then you don’t believe the Bible, and you don’t have the Holy Ghost. Repent now, get on your knees while we’ve still got time.

Let’s find someplace to baptize you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that you might receive the Holy Ghost. Because Paul said, “I have espoused you to Christ.”

And if you say, this is the Word of God and deny that, you’ve denied everything. Because if one Word is wrong, It’s all wrong.

If Paul told one lie with a big loud boaster, and was simply boasting in Paul, and rip it up and spit on it. And if you’ve got an ounce of energy left, go out and sin, sin, sin, because that’s where pleasure is.

Too bad that old jerks like me missed it… poor old Hugo is retired too… Where’s Ralph? He’s retired too. We missed It. Phfft. We missed It. He hasn’t. Because there’s something in here that understands authority.

Now listen, he said, “Who also made us able ministers of the New Testament, the new covenant.” God has administered It.

I know this Chuck, …look, the hardest thing in the world, is to get rid of your creeds and your dogmas, and your super ideas, and hallelujah, it’s me and God, and Lord I make You everything, Lord.

You and me. You and me. Shut up!… Shut up! Bring those thoughts down where they belong. Because it is not just me and God. It is God’s ordained way.

In You and God personally. Without an ordained way there is no such thing. Because let me ask you the same question: Did this Word come to you? No.

You picked up your Bible and read It. I want to ask you. Who put it in such form as to get it in this Bible? A man the apostle Paul, a man named John, a man named Peter.

And we go on, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Moses, made as able ministers. Not of the letter, but of the Spirit. Now hold it.

You mean to tell me a man ministers the Spirit? That’s God’s business. I don’t have the Holy Ghost to give you. You go to give Wes or these kids here.

Paul didn’t have the Holy Ghost. He’s not talking about that. He’s talking about the Living Word. The Spirit filled Word. Which this Word is denied, there’s no more Spirit than nothing.

Which Word, when not denied, but believes, looses the life of that Word within the person. I’m reading you Scripture. But I’m hitting hard so that your minds are going to get rid of the veil, and the things that lie upon them.

So, you can face the thing, the way it is, and realize that in a ministry of a man, God works, and something happens to you. It’s not Jesus, you and me, Jesus you and me. That’s true.

But what goes ahead of It? What goes into It? I’ll tell you. A man went ahead of It. And His name was Jesus, Jehovah Savior, and He had to die.

A man, don’t talk about God dying, because God doesn’t die. Don’t talk about God being born, because God can’t be born. A man, a man, when that One died, the Blood fell on the earth to redeem it, giving you and me our bodies back, immortal.

When that One died, the Blood was put on the Mercy Seat, to cleanse you and me. Scattering sin, so there be no trace of it.

And no man can point a finger, no man can condemn you. No man can say one word. And God screaming because of the Blood, “Righteous, righteous, righteous.” Well, you and I would scream back, “Sin, sin, sin, look at my hands.”

And God says, “I don’t see any sin. I don’t see any hands being bloodied.” Our word against God. It’s right here this morning. Man, God’s got a body on earth. It’s made of many members.

Now what are they made of? Chimpanzees? Horses? Cats? Or maybe… I don’t know they call them cats these days. God have pity. I’m trying to get a point home, this morning here. You’re people, right? And are you the body of Christ?

Now, don’t stand back and say, …hhhh… “You know what happened, or I could I think that fast.” Stop! Thinking your thoughts.

Does your thought have one thing to do with this key? One thing to do with this key? Nothing. And does your thought have one thing to do with what God said about Himself, a Bride and the Body? In a mintue, right?

And if He used you and me to be members of His Body, don’t tell me He doesn’t use man. You get the picture now? Let’s get comfortable.

We’re in a new realm this morning. We’re talking about us. We’re talking about a reality in us, that so real that It says, “He that is joined to the Lord is One Spirit.” That they may be one Father, as we are one.

Now, don’t think I’m way down the mystical road somewhere. Don’t get a lot of hogwash cross your mind about it. Just, believe It.

Paul says here, ministering the Spirit. But now listen:

Now listen, he calls It, the ministration of righteousness of life, then he calls it, the ministration of righteousness. Then he calls It, ministration of Spirit.

So now, you’ve got Spirit, life, righteousness. What makes you righteous? The Holy Ghost. How do you get It?

You get It from God. By what channel? Ha, that’s the secret. The channel of the Word, that God places in the ordained men, who bring that Word.

Number one of which is the prophet, and he’s got to be vindicated.

Paul was vindicated, he said, “I didn’t come to you”, he said, “Ministering the Word of the Lord, in the Spirit of God by the Word.

Whereby you believed and became His epistles, which were ministered by me, but actually by the Holy Ghost using me.”

He said, “I came not in man’s words, but I came in demonstration and power.” And that is exactly what the Scripture demands of a prophet.

He must be recognized, and manifestly recognized that he is of that caliber. And we saw that in Deuteronomy 18: and all the way through Scripture.

Now,

Now, that word ‘hope’ does not mean simply something in the future. That word ‘hope’ means earnest expectation. And Paul said, “This is something that we can expect.”

Now look, today we live in such a miserable society that to expect anything is beyond us. You don’t even expect the mail to get through. You prefer UPS the same as I do, a hundred times to the US Postal Authority. Forget them.

And the Canadians are far worse. So, you can wait at home for weeks just to get a letter across the border here. And I’m not being disrespectful, I’m telling the truth.

You don’t even expect to get your checks anymore, and pensions, because the system can go. You don’t expect your neighbour to treat you right anymore, because they’ve got a brat in the family that’ll rise up and kill you.

We have lost the understanding, and the beauty of the word ‘hope’, which means earnest expectation. That’s why our minds are so messed up when we read the Bible. That’s why faith has such a low ebb.

You look around and you say, “Ha, what’s to anything. The bottom’s gone. The top’s gone. The whole thing’s gone.”

We’ve got young men here today who don’t know if they’ve got a job Monday morning, or Tuesday morning, let’s face it.

And I’m on Social Security which I don’t even care to have, because I’m still earning my own living.

I never wanted it in the first place, I don’t want it in the second place, but they demand I get a check, and they mess me all up.

And I could be washed out by Tuesday morning, if not Monday. This is different. This is different. This is It. This is the one thing that’s going to come to pass. It, says so.

And notice,

Now, I’m going to tell you something. I’m going to nail it right down, and I’m very plain, yet we read this Bible and It’s not plain… but, It is plain.

The simplicity is going over the heads of the people. You know why?

All right look, there’s going to be an ordinary… like Henry Ford said, “You can paint my cars any colour you want, as long as it’s black.” Right?

That’s what he said. All right. All Fords are black, for this illustration. And anybody knows that a black Ford is going to be black.

So, the man says, “There will be a black Ford coming down the road. And in it, will be the man bringing you the million-dollar check.”

But you can’t help yourself. You are going to look for a Rolls Royce painted with the Queen’s colors and emblem, with footmen and horsemen. And then you’ll know. See? It’s too simple.

Now, you know I’m telling you the truth. Because if you’ve thought a million-dollar check was coming, it wouldn’t come with a little black Ford.

There’s lots of little black Fords running down the road. It’s too simple. It would have to come with a fanfare or a 747 Boeing… if not at least a 727, or maybe an extra big Sikorsky helicopter… but the little Ford is too simple.

Now, he said, ‘plain speech.’ And people read this and they say, “Well, what is he talking about?”

Now Nixon had a great way, “Let’s make this perfectly clear,” he said. It never was perfectly clear, because that was Nixon.

Now Paul said, “I’ll make this perfectly clear,” he said. And people look for something else. You follow what I’m saying? You understand what I’m talking about?

Now, right away your mind is going… boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Why? He made a plain statement. He made a plain statement. Funny, but serious.

Now, that’s a very simple statement. It’s a very simple statement. It categorically, simply tells you how you get your change. If a million-dollar check was to come in the little black Ford, and there’s lots of little black Fords coming down the road.

So, I will look for the Rolls Royce with the Queen’s emblem, and the Queen’s colors, and the footmen, and the horsemen, and the FBI.

In other words, I will complicate this. I will begin adding my thoughts to it. I will begin embellishing it. I’ll begin putting stresses and strings upon it.

Now, come on. I’m not a mean preacher. I’m rough, but I’m not mean. I’m not trying to hurt anybody here. I’m trying to bring out principles. And I would preach this way to every person I know, or don’t know.

But I want to keep you up in a certain atmosphere. Because what I’m going to tell you will be the truth. God helping me, you’ll begin to understand, what this is all about, in It’s bare simplicity.

The factual reality, so there’s no great mystery. And you don’t have to look any further, you will know.

Now he said,

Therefore, always is a drawing of a conclusion from a set of premises, or circumstances previous to it.

Now he says, “because this is so, let’s get this flat.”

Now, the apostle Paul is not here, so, somebody has got to have it. Or somebodies, have got to have it. Aha. This is a certain church, we are the church that’ll bring the Capstone down, and you will all come running to us. Hogwash, where does it say that?

Prove that you can identify with that. The Roman Catholics say, “We are the one.” The Greeks say, “We are the one.” The Protestants, every denomination say, ‘We are the one.” Prove it.

Where did they get… what set them apart to have this ministry? Because, somebody’s got to have it, or somebodies have got to have it.

Let the Catholic Church demonstrate one thing. But supercilious idiocy, their track record is of whoredoms and murder.

And their so-called vicars of Christ have had their own sisters in life, …?… and brought forth their bastards. And the Protestants are all daughters of the whore.

They’re all harlots. And what have they done? What have they done? Infamous things.

Now, Paul says,

Now listen, watch this man. Watch this one thing that he tells you, why he is ministering. He’s set aside now, the fact that he was vindicated.

Now there is his commendation to the ministry that God gave him, that would vindicate him.

And he said listen, “When did I ever ask you to follow me? When did I ever ask you to join the club? When did I ask you to do something that I wanted done?”

He said, “Did I not just bring you the Word, and leave It with you? Did I not come to you as a free people, and leave you as a free people? Or, did I take you unto myself, and try to make something out of you, as though I have something, and you would be a credit to me? Or we would form some society.”

Now, listen.

Now notice, he pins it down. If ‘ours’ and he’s talking not of the editorial we only, but is talking confirming to the people.

As I said many times, Moses ate the same Manna that He brought down to feed the people. It’s one Word that the prophet had, and the people had.

They were one Word. So, there’s no room anymore for doubts here.

You say, “Well Paul knew something we don’t know. Paul had something we didn’t have. Something that Paul said, is veiled and hidden in a mystery.” No, it’s not at all.

We are one Word. Our gospel. Now he might have knew it a little better. Well, what was the difference?

You know, look, let’s get a mechanic… maybe someone here this morning that’s a good mechanic. Now, I drive a car, and I’m not very good driver. Yet, I’m better than a lot of drivers.

I want to tell you something. That mechanic may know that car a whole lot better than I do. But believe me, I can drive the same car.

Paul knew the gospel better than anybody. Having been privy to the divine revelation of mouth to ear.

But let me tell you something: it was no more to him, than it was to anybody else. It wasn’t. It was no more to him than anybody else. Do you understand what I’m saying? Moses ate the same Manna.

Now, Moses might have said, “Now Lord, let’s be honest, I am not just a figurehead here Lord, though he was, I am Your servant.”

The same man said when people came against him, “If these men die the common death, he said, there’s something wrong somewhere, then God opened the earth and swallowed them.”

I want to ask you a question. Did Moses eat different from the people of Israel?

Did he go back of the ark and say, “Now Lord, put some jam and gravy on my… whatever it is you put on manna… make mine a little different from theirs, because I’m different.”

No way. Uh? No way. There are no great ones here this morning. There are no little ones. There is no Lee Vayle teaching this Word… though I am a teacher, and teaches… who is one bit different from you, when it comes down to what that Word does.

I may know It better, in the sense of teaching. But I will not get It better, in the sense of the result. Do you believe that? You’ve got to believe that, or there’s something wrong with you this morning.

You have got to believe that the apostle Paul is not one step ahead of us. You have got to believe that Moses is not one step ahead of us. There is only one man that is a step ahead of us, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. There is nobody else.

What positions we have in the Millennium, have nothing to do with us intrinsically, as a part of that body. It is merely a function that God has set in order, the same as your eye is more important to you than even than your hearing.

But God sets the hearing equal with the seeds in a healthy body. And the fingernails that you and I bite, or trim off and throw away, are just as much a part of the body, as the heart that beats.

The hairs that fall out, are just as much a part of that liver that you need to cleanse your system. You follow what I’m saying. Let’s understand then.

Now,

Now, what is going to shine out of the gospel? The image of God which is Christ.

Now, listen. The image of God which is Christ, shines out of that gospel. That’s what it blares for. That’s what it shows for.

Now keep that in mind, don’t lose it. Now, don’t you dare lose it.

Now notice, he says up here we have not done a dishonest thing. We have never talked about ourselves. We have never aggrandized ourselves.

We have never pointed you to ourselves. We have always preached Christ. That’s what’s shining forth. You keep that in mind now, please keep it in mind.

I’m saying everything the best I can for your help this morning, to help you in this Message. Because it’s terribly simple. But in simplicity, people get confused because they are always looking for the Rolls Royce.

With the beautiful colors of the British Empire, and the Queen’s footmen coming with the million dollars. And it’s just a little tiny Ford coloured black. Huh?

Yeah, Brother Branham said, “Well, Caiaphas said, “This can’t be the Son of God. Why, He’d have come down from glory with a red carpet, and He’d of come to the great Caiaphas. Saying, “Oh, great Caiaphas, here I am.”” But He came as a little tiny black Ford.

Which means He was born as a little bitsy baby, like any other bitsy baby, with the umbilical cord being cut. But He wasn’t born even in a nice home, he took His place with the lowest born over a manure pile.

God born over a stinking manure pile. We use the term ‘God’ there, because were talking about Logos becoming flesh. And the association that is so definite.

Now,

Paul said, “I am under you.” Doesn’t the servant, live under the Master? And isn’t the Master one who is due a certain office, which is given to him through service. Then Paul is a servant to the people. He took the lowest place of all.

Now remember, the Light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God and shines. And God commanded that to shine out of darkness.

It shined in our heart, got right down here from the mind. Doesn’t get down here without the mind. That’s where Pentecost went haywire.

And is still haywire, I came out of Pentecost, so don’t, you know, point your finger at me as though I’m saying something wrong, if you do see that, because you’d be wrong.

I came out of Pentecost. Pentecost went for emotion, and a feeling. Clear thinking has nothing to do with feelings. Clear thinking can commute the effects of feelings to a lesser place, whereas feelings can destroy clear thinking. If you let it have its way.

And Paul said, “This is no time for feelings, I’m appealing to your mind, to let you know what is this down here; this deep that is satisfied by the Holy Spirit, and Him alone. ” I’m explaining it to you.

And he said, “Watch your mind.” When Mary Baker Eddy said, “That God is universal mind.” She dealt a complete blow to faith.

Because the Pentecostals then reduced everything to a feeling, and got away from faith. And pretty soon they could go to their refrigerator and open the door and the light wouldn’t go on.

Suddenly, that meant some great thing. And the Word meant nothing. Some little dream would take the place of the Word. Don’t do that. Don’t do that.

“Shined into,” to give you that image, right in here, that God wanted you to have. We have this treasure in earthen vessels.

And they said, “Paul, we can’t understand, you get up there and you preach like you preach in the second chapter you wrote for us, and that third chapter and right on through…”

“And you know Paul, I’m going to tell you something. You’re the guy that spoke of this great love, we’re supposed to have.”

“And yet you had a fight with Barnabas, and Paul, you know the Holy Ghost said, ‘Separate me from Paul and Barnabas, to the work where I called them’.”

“And yet, you had a fight with Barnabas over John Mark, and you told Barnabas to pack his rig and get out. Paul, you ain’t much.”

And he said, “I never said I was much. Never said I was.”

He’s just a man. Well, what are you? Do you want a chimpanzee to be with you? Do you want the horse like the old serial, Mr. Ed the talking horse? Could you get a trained Myna bird? Or a parrot? Now, I’m not being silly.

I’m bringing you down where people are silly. What makes you think you can hear from God? You know, no man can hear the Voice of God, that’s impossible, it takes a prophet.

Now, that’s the Word of God, I’m sorry. For years, I thought I heard the Voice of God. I had to correct it, because I know that voice that spoke audibly, was not the voice of God, it was merely the Holy Ghost playing upon my auditory nerve.

But a prophet literally hears a Voice. But only a prophet. Because the Bible says, “Never again will they hear my Voice out loud as in public.”

Yet the world says, “Wherever I go with this Message, It, has to happen.” It’s made known, there’s no trick. Listen, if something works every time, it’s got to be simple, because it’s a law.

All right. Watch this thing, fall. Watch it, fall. Watch it, fall. Never once does it say, suspended. Fall, the law of gravity.

I don’t have to understand the law of gravity, implicitly. They’re still fussing whether Newton is right, or somebody else is right.

Although they contend that Newton is more right than somebody else is right. But I’m showing you the simplicity. The simplicity, it works. It works. It works.

Now, let’s keep reading.

He screams out, “It works.” Wherever I go, there’s life, wherever I go, there’s death. Wherever I go there’s life and there’s death, because I’m preaching the Gospel. It is that simple.

But he said,

My God, it blows your mind apart. It blows your mind apart, because, you’re a walking atomic bomb. It blows your mind apart that you stand there, with destiny, men’s destiny in your hands.

Now, that’s what Paul is saying here, or I’m crazy. I don’t know the Bible, I don’t know anything. I’m just an idiot. But I’m not.

For the first time I’m beginning to understand. To the one we are saved, from death unto death. [blank spot on tape] And to the other we are savor of life unto life, and who’s sufficient of these things.

He said, “I am telling you. This Word that I have, absolutely is death here, and life over here. The Word that Moses had was death to Pharaoh in Egypt. The same Word was life to Israel, you can’t deny.”

Now, what is this the picture of? I’m not a smart student. I got this from Dr. Ironsides, but Ironsides doesn’t see what I see.

This is the picture of the Roman general who comes back from a successful war. He is riding upon his great white charger, and in front of him are people dressed in white.

The slaves that he took in conquest, and they will become citizens perhaps of the Roman Empire, and their lives are spared, and they are free.

Those behind are in chains. They walk behind the horse. They are slaves taken in the war in combat, and they will die in the arena.

Now Paul said, “I am that Roman general, ” so-to-speak. And the great white charger, is the power of the Holy Spirit, released in the Word.

And I’m in charge to this extent, as long as I just preach Him. Looking to Him. It stands true. “I’m not pointing you to myself,” he said, “I’m standing there, as a great general taking captives.” Some will live, and some will die.

Now, you say, “But Brother Vayle, that means the people in every age.” That’s right, it does.

But there’s one thing you forgot. You forgot that I read the verse 18, chapter 3, that spoke of immortality. Nobody but nobody, except a few people in the Seventh Church Age, become immortal, standing there.

Everybody else, has to die, to come up in a Resurrection. But there are people standing in this hour, who receive the explicit image of Christ.

Not only in the inner man, but in their bodies. Because he is a first fruit, and first fruit mean a first one, with many more to follow.

So this Message that I’m talking about this morning, and this Scripture is for this hour in which we live. Which would necessitate a prophet, which would necessitate the fullness of the things of Almighty God.

Now, Paul says this of life and death. This is the setting, of what we’re dealing with. Life and death. Dealing with immortality in the final phase of this Message; because that’s the last phase of this Message.

There’ll be some standing here, who shall not taste death. “Beloved now, are we the sons of God, and it never yet came into existence what shall be we know when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see him as he is.”

We’re going to be like Him, bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh. “Handle me not and see, a spirit hath not flesh and bones, here I am immortalized.” Now, this is what Paul is speaking of.

All right. Epitomized here, illustrated in the great general. Now then, with that in mind, life and death. Two ministrations, are in the Word of God, illustrating It.

The same God, bringing life or death. Depending how the Word is received, or to what end the Word was given.

And remember, the Word was given to Moses to Egypt, in order to condemn them, that they might die, It was given to Israel, in order that they might live. The same thing is going on now, or the Bible lied.

In 2 Thessalonians It said. “They will not believe or have the love of the truth, that they might be damned. But beloved there’s better things we know of you, because you’ve been separated by that same Word”, and Paul says the same thing here.

There are those that are condemned, and there are those who are not condemned. And it depends upon the Word.

All right. We go then to verse 12.

This is a juncture verse, a corner post, a pivot post.

It said, “What you know about Moses, the giving of the law, and the veil on his face. There is a great lesson I’m going to teach you, and it’ll be like the conquering Roman general. Who in a most definitive, and victorious conquest, brings a savor either of life, or death. Which ever way it is received.”

Now, he tells you right there, you can’t get by it. There is no way.

Now, in verse 13.

All right, let’s look at It. Exodus 34:28-35 is where we are reading;

There it is. Moses went into the Light, and the Light went into Moses. Let your minds go. You say, “How could a man go into that Light?” But he did. And the Light went into him, because God was in the prophet.

And if God is not in you today, by the baptism with the Holy Ghost, you are not born again, you are merely saved, and you will come up in the second Resurrection.

And you will not be a part of that Bride. I’m sorry, but that’s the truth. And if you don’t believe the Word of God, you are not Bride.

Because the wife believes the husband. Especially a Husband, who is Christ. Could you think a Bride could be Bride, if she denied His Word? Look, I get very offended at my wife, when she denies my word.

And I suppose she gets very offended at me… I know she does when… it works both ways. But we’re talking in a higher order.

Do you feel like insulting Christ today, by disbelieving? God, was in the prophets. And the Scripture distinctly said that Moses walked into the Light.

And remember a high priest with blood to go behind the veil, where God was. In both the ark and the temple.

But watch now, and don’t misunderstand this, when the light went into Moses, it was not that Moses became a veil to the entire Light. He was in the Light, and the Light was in Moses for his hour.

And that’s Hebrew 1:1-3 where It says,

So, therefore, Moses had the Word for his hour. It was a part of the whole scheme of God. But Moses was not the whole scheme of God, Christ was.

Moses received a part of that living Light, as he stood there. And that living Light, made Moses notorious before the people by striking Moses’ face in particular, and It illuminated Moses’ face.

The Light struck the face of Moses, or shone through it, and reflected from the face, causing his skin to shine. Moses was now within the Light, and the Light was within him.

It was the Light shining on him, and reflecting from him that caused this unearthly glow. You’ll find that in Deuteronomy 18:16-17 where the Word of God distinctly says, “This is going to happen to prophets, it’ll not happen before men anymore.”

Now listen. The people could not ever again see the Pillar of Fire. They said, “Lord don’t let us see You again, don’t let us hear.”

So, now listen, the people can never again see the Pillar of Fire. Only a prophet chosen of God, to see the Pillar of Fire.

Now, you do what you want, and you can still sit here and say, “Well, Brother Vayle, that doesn’t bug me one little bit, because you see, I’ve got something special.”

Well wonderful, I’d like you to give me a few minutes of your time after service, I want you to do me a miracle, I’m in need of one.”

Because you’ve just got a big mouth to say something like that, let’s see, let’s have the action. I believe in putting my money where my mouth is. And few people even do that.

So, let’s have somebody put God where His mouth is.

I’m getting real tough right now. And I don’t mind. You see, I’m not a fool. But listen to somebody self made himself somebody, or thinks he’s somebody.

I’ve got to have evidence. Because my life is hanging in a balance. And it’s this life that goes over yonder, not somebody else’s life goes over yonder. This life goes over.

This guy ‘Lee Vayle,’ goes over. And he’s got to face something on the other side of Jordan, if indeed, there is something on the other side of Jordan.

And there’s something over there, I want to know ahead of time, to be right with what’s over Jordan. Because I can’t come back here and take another chance. See?

Now, the people could not ever again see the Pillar of Fire, It’s Light apart from another man. Could never see It again, apart from another man. A man of God’s choosing. A prophet man.

Brother Branham himself said when the Light appeared on the wall forming the picture of the Seven Church Ages, and people screamed and saw that Light, three hundred people saw the Light.

He said, “I beg to differ… You did not see the Light. I alone saw the Light, you saw the reflection.”

If William Branham had said something different, he would have been a liar. That’s right. When I was in his front room, that day that he saw the Flame of Fire writing on the wall, he said, “Lee, do you see that Light?”

I said, ‘No, but I see the one who sees the Light, and that’s good enough for me.” I said the exact words that anybody full of the Holy Ghost would’ve said.

Because it was not given to me to see the Light, nor even the reflection apart from the man who reflected that Light. By what he said. We’ll get that later.

The Light that struck Moses’ face, and that Light, struck Moses’ face, and the Light reflected from his face, so that his face glowed.

The people saw It, thus in that day, they saw all they were able to see of the Pillar of Fire. But indirectly, yet nevertheless it was the same. They saw God in manifestation.

Now listen, Moses saw God in manifestation, Pillar of Fire. Moses heard God in manifestation speaking. These people saw and heard the same, no different, except indirectly.

Now, I want to ask you a question: What if you were dying of cancer? There was a doctor in Germany, or a shaman, an Indian doctor, in Canada, and that doctor had in his power to concoct a formula to cure you of cancer. But you’re dying of cancer, and you can’t get to those doctors.

Would you turn down the medicine if I brought it to you? Isn’t the medicine in my hand, if it’s the original medicine, just as good as though you went and got it?

Wouldn’t the directions that I gave you, to how to take that bottle of medicine, wouldn’t it be just the same with my voice, as the doctor’s voice?

Or would you say, “Hallelujah, bless God, there’s nobody going to get between me and the doctor. I’ll go and get it myself.”

Then get off your bed if you can, you’re dying, you can’t even move. Do you see how stupid people can get? [bland spot on tape] I want to be kind, but got to bringing these things out.

To let you know, look, let’s not go off half cocked this morning and the rest of our lives with some little ethereal thing out there. You know, in a never-never land of woolly, woolly, clouds and God knows what.

It’s as common as dirt, in the sense I’m talking of a Reality.

It’s just like Paul said, “The Word of faith is nigh thee, even in thy heart, and in thy mouth.” It’s not… Who shall bring Him down? Who shall bring Him up? Who shall do this? Who shall do that? What’ll happen here? What’ll happen there? Let’s get together and… No.

He said, “It’s already here.” The Kingdom is here, It’s in the midst of you. It’s under your nose. You just need someone to point It out and tell you, and It’s fully effective.

Do you follow what I’m saying? Do you understand what I’m saying this morning? I’m doing my best. I honestly am, if I’m not doing good enough, you just keep praying.

Because I’m doing my best to show you, look, this is not something down the road, It’s not something way down there. It’s something here this morning, that is so tangible, and so simple.

That if you’ll just uncomplicate your minds, you’ll begin to understand, the hour in which you live. And something is happening to you, because God said so. See?

Moses, I’m going to harden Pharaoh’s heart. And I’m going to soften up Israel. I’m going to destroy Pharaoh. I’m going to save Israel. I’m going to tread down the wicked. I’m going to [inaudible]. Same God. Same Word. Tares ripen, wheat ripen.

Don’t listen to these bird brains that say they believe this Message, and snide and sneering say, “Well, Brother Branham said the wheat would ripen in the sun, not rot.”

Don’t listen to people like that. Don’t listen to people like that. Wheat is wheat, and tare is tare. And the chaff pulls away from the wheat.

When the Bride said, “I and my Father are one.” Now, there’s not one person here who can’t say that. “Oh Brother Vayle, I don’t dare say that.”

Well that’s fine. Don’t dare. I’m telling you right now, I and my Father are one. And I’ve lost so many friends already, what’s a few more, of the rest of them. Yeah.

The big sneer is going on now. What do I care? Sneer all they want, I and my Father are one. It’s just that simple. Well, that’s too simple.

That’s what the prophet said, “It’s so simple they miss It.”

It’s what Naaman said, “Now, He ought to give me some great thing to do, because bless God, I am the general. Ain’t nobody like General commander Naaman, like I am. And he tells me to simply go down and dip seven times in that muddy water. That ain’t bless God, He could’ve given me wonderful, beautiful clear water like the back home, where I could have made a spectacle before the people, and made myself look real good, doing some great exploit.”

The servant had ten million times more brains than the general.

He said, “Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. I know that you didn’t drive to be some great thing. But this is not some great thing that you aren’t going to do, the great thing is going to be done for you. Then, why don’t you just relax.”

A beautiful, nice clean body without leprosy, is a very nice badge of honour. Without you engaging, and knocking down ten thousand Philistines, and running over the Alps or something. Go on, duck in the water. It ain’t going to hurt you none. Dip down seven times.

Humble the old boy, but he wasn’t that dumb, see, got home. He said, “Okay, I think you might be right there, son.” He went down and dipped seven times, and he didn’t look like the fifty-four year old man he was.

His flesh came like a little kid. Merciful God, wouldn’t you love that today? It wasn’t what Naaman did. It was what God did for him. His dipping in the water, was simply an act of faith, his testimony.

The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth. That, I and My Father are one. That’s easy, because I know I am.

You say, “How do you know?” That’s easy. I have nothing special. Don’t think you’re looking at someone special here, because you’re kidding yourself. See?

All right. Can’t you see how… can’t you see there how God always… is always doing something to get His revelation of Himself across to man. Now, man turned down the Pillar of Fire and the Voice.

So, God said, “I’ll water It down for you. I’ll water It down. They won’t get it direct. I’ll see you get It from another channel, but It’s the same thing.” He didn’t lose anything. Didn’t lose a thing. See?

Brother Branham said in ‘Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed’ [63-07-28] He said that God wanted to do three things:

Number 1: Reveal Himself, get the pre-eminence bring us back to Eden. Now, once God walked, and called to Adam in the Garden.

He has never left off His desire to communicate, and to speak. What is the difference if God communicates through a special channel, rather than another special channel, that you and I might want as long as He communicates? What does it matter?

Am I some special figure, so puffed up, that I’ve got to go to God, and I’ve got to get something from God for myself. Or can He ordain someone to and put into my hands, that which is the same thing that gets the same results, because it’s the same God.

I’m just going to tell you something here brother/sister, let’s get this flat: Satan by reason of pride, fell.

Are we so puffed up today that we can’t go God’s way, because God says, “Here, this is the channel.”

We say, “Well, bless God, I want this channel like old Naaman.”

I want to ask you a question. Are the Jews in the homeland? Is this the hour to immortalize a few groups of people on earth? I want to ask you a question.

Do you want to leave this earth immortalized? Do you want to be those standing here and don’t miss one heartbeat, that don’t miss one wink of the eye and one breath, and a sweep goes over you; and you’ll be part of the First Resurrection?

Do you want it, or don’t you want it? I’m going to tell you something, if you want It, you’ve got to come to God’s terms, not your own.

But, this is the thing you see, that bugs me, in this Message. Oh, this church has got It. And that church is going to have It. Let me tell you flat.

There is no church that has It. Everyone of us, this Bride already has It. If you think I’m waiting for the Capstone to come down, you’re erroneous, you’re sick.

He’s already here, in the form of the Holy Spirit. I’ll be back shortly… I hope. To really show you the Word of God. For He’s ordained to come back as the Holy Spirit, and do for the Gentiles, what He did for the Jews.

But not this time in the flesh, and the same way the Gentiles try to kill Him. “They crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh. And put Him to an open shame.”

Do you know something? If a man does the job, and it’s done right, and the critics rise up and deny it. The man becomes a centrepiece of shame, and not of glory.

And they do the same thing at the end-time. But this Light, wherein God was still communicating with the people, now that He went through Moses, and He stays closed.

It scared them, so that Moses had to put a veil over his face. And now they see nothing. The Logos was veiled in Moses, and Moses was veiled to the people, by the people.

He was God to them, but, He was just one of them, so they couldn’t take It. And others said, “Well, we have got gifts, too.” Where does this leave me?

Listen, up here, preaching is more like lecturing. I’m trying to let my hair down, and speak from my heart, so you know what it’s all about, what I am seeing.

I told you, before I talked to a man there in Big Bear California, very sweet old fella. He knew Brother Branham. Thought, he was a nice man.

And when I talked about Brother Branham, he sweetly said, “But, you see Brother Vayle, I’ve had visions too.”

What has that got to do with this? I can take you to a dyed-in-the-wool spiritist, who can produce more definitive, prophetic utterance, and discernment.

Then I’ll see in a million so-called Christians, and they are still of the devil, and by the devil, and going to hell. I could have said to the poor old fella, “Let’s match vision and prophecy.”

And I didn’t want to swamp the old boy, because he was depending on one little thing, and I’ve had many. And I’m not vindicated.

But you know, I’m glad that God would send somebody for me. I’m glad of that. I’m happy to know, that it’s off of my shoulder. And it’s onto God’s plan.

I’m happy to know that God has ordained channels. Don’t you understand what it has does for you? It puts you in a state of relaxation.

You don’t have to produce any longer, you stand here and It gets produced in you. Do you understand what I’m saying? Oh listen to Him.

He looked at the lily of the field and He said, “Solomon, in all his glory is not arrayed like this.” They don’t toil, they don’t spin.

They just let the seed in there go to work. And in the proper season, look at the attributes of what the seed the lily.

Don’t you understand that what I’m talking about today? Immortality in your flesh, is not anything you can do.

It is already there waiting for you, to be manifested in the right hour, through the living Word of God, that’s ordained for this hour.

Jesus stood at the graveside of Lazarus, and He said concerning the Resurrection, “Though he were dead, yet shall he live.” But He also said, “Whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never perish.”

That could not take place, and cannot take place until the hour of immortality, without death. Who’s going to do it? God! To whom? To them in whom is the seed.

Do you follow me? Why do you have blue eyes? Why do you have brown eyes? Why do some of you wear size 8’s, and some 10’s, and some 13’s? You’ve got feet like scows, ears like jack rabbits or elephants.

Noses is like an anteater, that’s coming into my sphere now. Hands, man like an octopus, almost. You didn’t ask for them.

In fact you’re embarrassed. Where did it come from? A seed.

As you’ve born the image of the earthy, you’ll bear the image of the heavenly. What more could you want? It’s in a seed. Now, if that seed ever gets identified in you, you’ve got it made.

An identification, lies with knowing what God is doing. That’s why for two years, I’ve stayed on this scene. What was He doing? I didn’t look into it as though I’m going to find answers.

I just knew it was in the Word. It’s got to come. So, the answers keep coming as far as I’m concerned, they may not answer for you. That’s all right.

No, now, it doesn’t come by gifts. Though other men were gifted. It came by one man.

Now listen, because of Israel’s unwelcoming spirit, wherein lay disbelief, and unbelief.

They turned aside from Moses. Moses did not veil himself to them. They veiled him, to themselves.

Matthew 23:34, read It last night.

How often did He gather them? He gathered them by the prophets and the men that He sent.

And yet the same Bible says, “Except the Father draw them, nobody came come.” But He’s got to have a means. That means starts with prophets, apostles and so on, until the sheep are in.

Now listen, the people forced Moses to put a veil on his face. Oh, if they would’ve accepted him, as Brother Branham said, “If you believe that I am that prophet, every one of you would be healed.”

He said that in Florida. I could never find the tape, the tape is lost. But a couple of months ago, I heard him on a tape, say the same thing. “If you only believed who I am, you’d be healed.”

You say, “How can that do it?” Because, God said, “I’m going to send Elijah.”

And at that time healing arises within His wings, and healing of the body, is a witness to the Resurrection.

Jesus said, “If you believe that I am, you’ll be forgiven. But if you don’t believe that I am, you will die in Your sins.”

And he was a man. You say, “But just a minute, Brother Vayle, he was a different man.” But just a minute. You say that you’re born again!

You say you’ve got the Holy Ghost! Have you really? Have you really? Because you want to turn down somebody else. You want to turn down a prophet.

Listen to me. Those people set the precedent. God said, “Never again will I deal with the people individually. Or as a body, never, never, never. I will have one person, a prophet, do it.”

And the people said, “Great.” You say, “Well, I wasn’t there.” You didn’t have to be there.

Who’s going to strike God, and tell God what to do? This is ordained. Now notice, while Moses gave the Word to them, the veil was on his face. It did not need to be there. 

Neither God nor man, or Moses… authorized this. It was not authorized by God or Moses. But when Moses left them, now watch, when Moses left them to go back again for the Word afresh, he took off the veil. Yep.

You can’t get to God if your face is there by creeds and dogmas. You can’t get to God with your veiled faces… full of pride, veiled with pride say, “Hallelujah, I just don’t need this man, I don’t need that man, I’m going to make it by myself.”

Then you try to make it without God, because Jesus… God became a man. In other words, “He took upon Himself the form of a man” in order to bring redemption. And right now, your high priest is a man.

So, if you’re going to make it by yourself, make it by yourself. You see the fallacy brother/sister, of the people of this hour. They’re in rebellion against God, and all the time think they’re not in rebellion.

Because they will not take His way. They will not… oh, they say, “Brother Vayle, this is changed, this is changed.”

You show me where it’s changed, and give me a sign, come on, I got a little healing I need, I’ve got a bad back.

Now, any of you thinking this morning that you got something from God on your own, in the sense that it doesn’t have to come by a man ordained of God, who brings the Word; you come and heal my back, and I’ll believe it. Because I could stand a nice healing.

That would let me know you superseded the Bible. But before you do it, you’ve got to say, “Thus Saith the Lord, your back is perfectly whole.”

That means you have just heard from God, to tell me that my back is perfectly whole. Because you see, you’re speaking for God, when you say, “Thus Saith the Lord.”

I’m going to tell you something flat: I could tell anybody in this building here, “Go out in the street and say, ‘Thus says Lee Vayle’. I’ve got one hundred dollars in one dollar bills. The first hundred people get the dollar bills.”

And if I really said it, and had the hundred dollars, each person that came by, the first hundred would get one dollar, if they wanted it.

Now, that’s really, “Thus saith Lee Vayle.”

But, if you said, “Thus saith Lee Vayle” he’s got a hundred dollars in one dollar bills, and he’s going to give the first hundred people one dollar, and I stand out there, and I didn’t say it, they’d say, “Mr. Vayle, didn’t you say.”

I’d say, “I didn’t say it, the person’s a liar.” Do you think they’re going to get a dollar bill?

They’ve got to knock my head off first, or threaten they’re going to knock it off. And if I can’t run faster than them, then I guess they’ll get a dollar bill. God knew Moses authorized It.

Now, what when Moses lifted the face… the veil, when he went back to God, rather… he lifted the veil every single time there was no veil upon it. And the same phenomenon took place, over and over again.

Notice the difference between them. Moses in the Presence of the Lord, and Moses in their presence, what a difference.

Listen, He acted naturally in the things of God, before God, the communication. Everything was evidently there. But amongst the people, it was torn, torn, torn, torn.

There never was a prophet who wasn’t torn. There never was a prophet who didn’t pay a horrible price. But with God, it was sheer beauty. I’ve learned this lesson in the last two years.

Never have I known the grace of God, as I know it today. And never have I known the tearing of the people at my heart, and the lies and the calamity, they force upon me.

If you think you’re going to escape, I’ve got news for you. Join the crowd. The squeeze is on the way.

Now watch how our lesson is going in a certain direction. In Exodus 35:29-35 we saw Moses veiled. But not because either God or Moses wanted it, or did it. The people in their carnality, refused to look. They refused God’s way, twice.

Way number one: on Mount Sinai God was there and He said, “Stand back and look and hear.” Wouldn’t do it.

Number two: stand up close and see and hear My prophet, unveiled. Indicating he is the one that God sent. And they ran. They’ve always done it. They’ll always do it. They’ll stone the prophet.

Notice what Hebrews 3:7-8 says in the vernacular, if you stand the translation, “Today if you will hear… not see but hear, today if you will hear, do not go on hardening your heart, in the day of the rebellion. In the day of putting of the test in the wilderness. When your fathers put Me to a trial. When they put Me to the test of the purpose of approving Me.”

Should I meet the test? Their test. And they saw My works forty years.

Okay, God said, “Come to Mount Sinai, Moses I’m going to come down again. I’m going to show the people, as a group, exactly what I told you, they are going to worship Me here.”

So, God came down in a panoply of glory. And the people said, “No, no, no, no, no! We won’t have that kind of God.” Okay. How you ignore this? So, the glory of God, the reflected glory of God was on Moses’ face.

They said, “No, no, no, no, no! We won’t have that either.” Now, just a minute. “Hallelujah Lord, for salvation, thank you Jesus.” See?

“Oh, praise God, there’s a Rapture coming, Hallelujah, thank you Jesus. Oh, blessed be Lord, I’m going to miss the great Tribulation, thank you Jesus.”

He said, “Hold it, you won’t unless Elijah comes. And that means you’re going to have to be identified.”

“Uh, uh. Oh no, no, no way.” You disapproved God. I don’t like it.

Now listen, I want to tell you something. What is it about me, that my wife does not like? I’ll be honest, and you know it. You’re married, most of you… my ways.

She loves me, because she knows underneath that veil of inhumanity, fourteen miles deep, there’s a little bit of something down there, that’s nice. My ways.

Now, you let a man go too far in his ways, and the man becomes hated. Now, some men are lovely men, and a woman looks, and she doesn’t like his little ways, because he runs his fingers through his hair or something.

So, she’s too hoity-toity, she’s got to have something else. You see what I’m trying to show you? Look, God had a way, and when they disapproved His way, they disapproved Him.

And you turn around and say, “Yeah, but really, really in my heart. There’s a wonderful thing there about God.” See?

Man is not… I’m talking about husband and wife relationship. That is a whole lot different between God and man relationship. Because all His ways are perfect.

Now, if my ways were perfect, my wife would have a perfect lover. And if her ways were perfect, I would have a perfect lover.

Unfortunately, we meet in the middle. I mean, fortunately, we meet in the middle, or way down the road.

We’ve got a very, very good marriage, which I’m very proud of, and very happy with. But you see, if people approve love this God, and they knew His ways, they would have to approve of His ways.

I’m telling you, there’s something wrong with people. It was Israel here. See?

Like I read here in the 95th Psalm, “We are the flock of Your pasture, we are the people of Your hand, we are everything. O God, everything.”

But He said, “Hold it! Don’t shoot your mouth off with all that nice stuff as if you’re going to flatter Me. Because I can’t be flattered. You don’t like My ways and consequently, you don’t like Me.”

How many Pentecostal people and falling away people, love the thought of foreknowledge and predestination, and eternal security. Oh, they’d go crazy.

They said, “Not the God I have. Oh, no, He wouldn’t do that.” Then you’ve got the wrong God. There’s something radically wrong somewhere.

All right. God’s revelation, a million miles ahead of signs. But who can believe it, if they’re veiled.

Now, they said to Jesus, “We don’t want to bang You over the head and stone You, because of a good work, of the good signs you do. We bang You over the head, because of what You said.” You said, “You’re God”. You said, “You’ve got to die for It”. You said, “We’ve got to eat Your flesh and blood.” Forget it, no way.

So, verse 13, shows Moses with a veil on his face. Now, watch what happens, [poor tape quality at this point]… a prophet is not a prophet for himself.

This is for the people… so the Light is for the people. So, you think I might be able to take it home. [inaudible] Jesus new this, as a person.

He was already insight. He already saw, He already heard, what was the Light for? People. The Light was to go to the people. Moses, thank God because Light was the prophet [poor tape quality] Moses was somewhere else.

Now, the question here is, where would that light go when the economy of God, is not where you’d like it to be standing there, it would not be found bouncing off in the air? Gently bouncing off in the air.

Moses stood there, “what is the bush burning for? I better come and see this.” God said, “Hold it.”

Now, Romans 11:36 let me read,

That Light striking them was then strike back to the Logos. Because from Him, and for Him, and to Him… from Him, and for Him, and to Him… from Him to Moses, for Him to the people, to Him back again. A perfect circle, or triangle.

The Light would hit Moses, and the Light would go back to God. Because you’ve got to give back to God, His Word.

You was a Bride, ministering to the husband. and the husband provides that which is ministered to Him, by the Bride. He provides the Word, to bring back to God.

All right. That Light striking Him, would then strike back to the Logos, until the Logos and the prophet, and the people were all one, in His great manifestation of the glory of the Light of God.

That’s exactly what He always wanted. Okay, people are separated. We come in as individuals, but we form a body, we do not stand as individuals. He wanted that glorious body. See?

God out raying Himself on the prophet of the people. All one in the same Light. All in the Light, as He is in the Light, having fellowship one with another.

Remember God loosened them from the Egyptians to bring them right to the worship in that Mount, preparatory to going into the Promised Land.

Now, get this, the Light striking the people, has to go back to God. Or, say It’s a revelation, and faith is towards God.

You talk about walking in the Light as though that were some little thing. I’ll walk in the Light. Oh, I must be careful not to offend my brother.

I must be careful not to think wrong thoughts. How to be careful to always go to church on Sunday. And all those things that are right, but, that is not walking in the Light.

That is knowing that you are in the light of the revelation, of God Himself, and God cannot be attained to by any works that even He ascribes to you.

He can only be attended by the works that God Himself does, because He is Redeemer. Follow me?  Here is how God was working His mighty works, and manifesting Himself once God in the Pillar of Fire, to a prophet to eight people, the three making a fellowship.

Nothing would have stood before them. What a Kingdom lay there before them. They send Millennium.

Brother Branham said, “If God gave Himself in a Pillar of Fire to Israel. He gave them a prophet, and then said, “Come on, I’m going to take you in.” And the people said, “Give us a law.” That’s right”

We want to have something to do with this. But, if they’d have gone in, they’d have gone in without the change. How would you like to live in a kingdom where God protected you?

Three times every year, the males went up to Israel to worship, and as long as they were in fellowship with God, not one time did an enemy invade the land. This is pure unadulterated history.

Never once was Israel ever hit by an enemy. When those males all went up, and left the women home.

How would you like to live until you like David, or rather Jacob, you could draw your feet up upon the bed and say, “I’m going home, coming home, coming home, never more to roam?” Open wide Thine arms of love Lord, I’m coming home.

And draw your feet up, and dying without one sickness in your body. How would you like to have your kids be raised up without being delinquent? They could’ve had it. They turned it down.

The energy of God, there in a Pillar of Fire, drying up the Red Sea, moving, moving, moving, moving with the divine power and flow of Almighty God from a prophet who is God to the people.

Listen, Moses died at a hundred and twenty years of age, with the body of a twenty-year old man. God gave it, Israel, turned it down.

I tell you, Israel turned it down. You never thought of this, did you? Well, think of it now. If God didn’t do this, what’s the verdict? If the Presence of God didn’t lose all this power, I’m talking about.

Which was proved in the wilderness, not one person sick, not one shoe wore out, not one enemy could overcome. But they disapproved of Him. They disapproved.

See where Paul said, …[inaudible comments] …Listen carefully, stand before a mirror at night. You’re talking every night. You were there, the mirror is there, but totally behold nothing. No light, no reflection, no beholding.

Now, come on. Don’t let me lose you. [inaudible] there’s a room right there, do you want to go one at a time? [inaudible] …there’s a room right there, there’s not light at all.

We’ll shut the door, and look at the mirror. You won’t see the mirror. Right? Turn the light on, what happens? Reflection.

All right. No light, no reflection, no beholding. Now watch carefully again. I turn on a light, that does not ray itself, or shine upon me.

Now watch. I see the mirror, but I still see that I cannot get a clear picture. It is nearly dark. Beholding in a glass darkly, is when the light does not strike you personally, but it will be? Right? Right.

Paul said, “Turn the light on me, the light hits me, the reflected light from me, strikes the mirror and I am beholding an image.

All right. The mirror is the Word. You stand there to see an image reflection of yourself, for that Word like a mirror, is to reflect you. It’s reflected image. And you’re standing there, right? It’s to reflect an image, and you are standing there, right?

Come on, let’s get right down to what the Scripture says. “For we with unveiled face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image…”

You are looking, beholding, and there is an image an icon. A complete representation of that thing, from which the image is made. For that character.

You’re standing there, looking for an image. Right? Now come on. Let’s not get confused. To believe the Word. Don’t look for that Rolls Royce, with the Queen’s colors, and the Queen’s footmen, come with a million dollars.

Look for that little black Ford. Get down to earth where it is. Okay, simplicity. The mirror is the Word. You stand there, to see an image.

Or a reflection for yourself, for that Word like a mirror. Is to reflect you, you are looking into that mirror.

That may sound strange, but that is what is being said about verse 18. As the person stands before a mirror to see his own image, so now, one stands before the Word of God for his hour.

And he is required to get an actual reflection of himself. What if he likened that light of the hour? What does the Present glory show Him to be?

He can only see that, as he looks at Himself in the Word. Because that’s what you’re doing right here. And remember, it’s a Word of a special hour. Do you follow me?

We’ll clear this up a little later, just keep your thoughts, because I’m going to show you exactly what this is all about.

So, you can get all the help I can give you. And there is a spiritual law, even if there is a physical law, that brings that image.

So, if the light which was spiritual revelation, does not strike you, you won’t ever mirror or reflect back from the Word, or see what is in that Word, that is actually is there,… is actually you in there.

You’ve got to be that Word, for that Word to show back the Light on you. Now, I hope you get it. You’ll get it later on. Some things are just hard to understand.

Listen, as a man is struck by the light that reflects from you, what is that mirror… what is in that mirror, doing the imaging? Or showing you to be who and what you are, in a spiritual revelation.

Now, put the two together. What is in the mirror that gives you an image? Quicksilver,… silver, mercury. Something is in there, that causes the light to show you.

Now, what is in the Word, that will show you what you ought to be in this hour. The Holy Spirit. Because that’s what’s in the Word.

That’s what makes the reflection. If the Holy Spirit is not revealing, you’re not going to get anything.

If the Holy Spirit is revealing, and you’ve got a bag on your head, veiled with creeds and dogmas, so you can’t listen to that Word, you’re not going to get that which the Holy Spirit’s got for you, because you’ve already got what you’re going to have.

You’ve got to tear down the veils of creeds and dogmas, and misunderstanding. That’s what God did. The veils have got to be taken off.

You say, “Oh, that’s Israel.” That’s today. Because today, the church is wretched, miserable, naked, and blind and doesn’t know it.

Now, if she’s naked and doesn’t know it, she’s got a veil on her face. Now, what’s in the Word? The Holy Spirit.

Now, the light of revelation strikes you, and you’re looking at that Word, and it’s been revealed, the Holy Spirit will bring back to you exactly what you are in that hour.

Now, that’s what it says. I’m not changing one word here, I’m trying to make it simple. And I hope you’re getting it.

Now, as a man is struck by the light that reflects, or you are struck, by the light that’s come from you.

What is in that mirror, that is doing the imaging, or showing you to be who, or what you are, that’s the mercury quicksilver.

Now, let the spiritual revelation strike you, and that revelation presented to the Word, will correctly image back to you, what and who you are in that Word, by the Spirit. Not in yourself.

Do you follow what I’m saying? If you’re not… I want you to understand, please.

The silver on the back of a mirror, is alone, what can give an image. A piece of glass will not do it. What is in this Word? The Light of God.

To give you the image of what is there concerning you, when the Light strikes you. Do you follow me?

Now, keep that in mind, because I’m going to open this wide up to you in a little while. Take a while yet. But I’ll open it up to you, that you’ll never forget it.

One brother, when I told him on the telephone, he preaches ‘A Fallen Son’.

He said, “Lee, my whole church is changed.” He said, “They’re not the same people, I’m not the same preacher.”

So, you see when I tell you, you can’t be the same person leaving here this morning, I’m telling you the truth, and it’s not Lee Vayle. Ha!

I just tell you a lot of corny jokes, as Lee Vayle, I like to make fun of everything. I’m not a stand-up comedian, but I could’ve starved, if I tried to be one.

All right, listen: It’s what is in that Word, that is you, and the revelation, shows It to you.

Now as I said, if the Light of spiritual revelation does not strike you, you can’t get that image out of there. You just won’t know.

But if it’s a true spiritual revelation that strikes, no creeds, no dogmas, no displacing a man, misrepresentations and misinterpretations, no veils, you will see Christ form in that Word, before your very eyes.

Because, the Light that God reflects off of you, and back to the Word, makes you and the Word, and God all one. And the Light is Christ, in the gospel. It’s not you, in the gospel, It is Christ.

Now, we’re learning identification, and substitution as we never learned It before. You heard what I said. For God is Light. The Word is Light. Christ is Light.

And the Bible said, we are Light. That makes you and the mirror, exactly the real you, because that Light is Christ.

And that Light coming from you, now forms that image in the Word. The image that comes back to you is Christ.

Now, let me explain why there cannot be a creed or denomination. It is 2 Corinthians 11:4 which I have quoted you before, many times.

For Paul said,

The Bride already was in a fallen condition, from having a wrong revelation of Christ, …who He is… the gospel of what It is, and the Spirit.

Now, you tell me that she remains the Bride, under those conditions. No way. She cannot come to Him., she’s got to come back.

Because she’s got a false Christ, a false God, and a false gospel. And you tell me God is going to stand back for that? That’s why He took them to Sinai.

That’s why He took them to Elijah, on Mount Carmel, and had a showdown. Let God who is God, answer by fire, and that turned their hearts back. God’s not fooling, and we’re not fooling.

All right. Now, Paul said that he had that ministry. Now, here we come.

Paul said, “I have got that ministry of doing something in the economy of God, that affects you to the very end, that you are going to be immortalized right here in the body, at a certain hour.”

Now, that’s for the dead, but it’s mainly for the living. Because the living do not have a mind that can be reached by the Gospel, that is of the hour to transform them from a living person, to an immortal person.

Because they are not living in a body, they are in a Spirit body, and they are going to get their earthly body when they come down here. So, Paul is telling the secret of this hour.

All right.

One: The Logos came to Paul with revelation.

Two: 2 Corinthians 2:14-17, some caught It. The same Light that struck Paul, struck them via Paul. That’s right, the Light on Damascus road, and the revelation struck them, the same as It struck Paul. Absolutely.

People are always wanting to try to be like Brother Branham. Forget it. You’re already like him in the essential. For you’ve got nothing that he didn’t have, except he had an office.

That’s all. My foot is no different from my hands, except an office. My mind is no different from my heart, except an office. See? My heart no different from my kidneys. Though I could lose one and still live, different in office.

All right.

Three: They saw themselves, in the revealed Word. They saw they were a part of the Logos. And then, when you see yourself in the revealed Word, you’ve got to be part of the Logos, because that’s Christ. You’ve got to be a part of His body.

Four: God answered back, so they were the manifested Word. A written epistle. A transformation set in, to them to be a true way of the mind. Now, it could have been a Resurrection right there, but the timing was off.

All right. Here was Alpha. Now, comes to Omega. Now, God is not only Alpha, He’s Omega.

What was back there, because It didn’t take hold, and bring about a Resurrection, and a Rapture, It’s got to do It sometime. It couldn’t do it back there.

The Bride wasn’t in. Takes two thousand years to get the Bride in. So, what He said has got to happen, sometime. Is it that hour?

If it is, somebody’s got to rise on the scene. Somebody’s got to bring us back to the Word. And a prophet is the only revealer there is.

And He’s got to be vindicated.

All right. That was the First Century, this is the Twentieth.

One: The Logos in Revelation, shines on our prophet. The same Light that struck the prophet, was reflected from him to us. For the prophet reflects the Word. He is the Word’s reflector. Thus, we became one, with whatever He was one with.

Now, if the church reflects His light, and says, “Hey, come and shake my hand, and join our church, you’re born again.” That’s what you are.

You’re part of the church. That church. Not the Bride. If that’s your revelation, that’s what you are. Because you become one with it. You said, ‘That’s it.”

Now, if there’s such a thing as a Reality, necessary for the end-time, and that Reality comes, and you receive It, you are a part of that Reality.

Thus, we became one with whatever He was one with. That Light of revelation, reflected from Him, struck us, and went straight to the mirror of the Word, even Christ.

And we saw that we were part of the same revelation, of the prophet, who had the revelation of God. That proved our rebirth. It was the same evening Light, that came to the prophet, that shone on us.

That makes God, and the prophet, and the children all one. Children of the Light, in whom there is no darkness.

Now, let’s just look at that. 1 Corinthians 1:7-8, now here is where He becomes unveiled. Now, he said in verse 5,

Now look, you don’t get blameless at that day, you are blameless before that day. So, you don’t perish with the wicked.

You say, “Bro Vayle, just a minute, I thought I was made perfect by the Blood.” Hold it.

“I thought the Holy Ghost did it.” Hold it.

It says, “In the day of His Appearing, is when you are established, blameless. Without guilt, and nobody can lay a charge against you.” Not, before. Not, before. Why?

Because what you’re talking about, will take you out of the ground. This will keep you out of the ground. This will keep,… what’s going to keep you out of the ground?

Only God Himself, can make death stand back. Only God, there’s nobody else can do it, I read that in 1 Corinthians 15: the other night to you.

All right. That makes it all of Christ. That makes the Bride and the Father one, even as the Father and the Son are one, as it says in John 17:21-23.

That makes this our day, that completed circle of Reality. That Logos was in God. And we were in the Logos.

And we are now all manifested, and ready for the first-fruit Resurrection, to complete the image. Because that’s what the image is about.

Even unto immortality. Like Jesus, who is the Christ, light is risen in the western sky.

Look verse 18 again, the 3rd chapter,

It is the last look, this is the hour of the final image. Because we’re going from image to image. And I ask you. When do you stop? When you change into His glorious Bride body.

There’s no more images. It’s over, It’s just placing, just placing from then on. We are going to stand in eternity and New Jerusalem, and do all those things.

So, right here now, there has to be a process, for the final change. Human beings standing here. Never happened in God’s history. Will never happen again after today, this hour.

All right. It is the last look. This is the hour of the final image. It started with just a small blaze of light in Luther’s day. But today is Resurrection time.

The light that died in the dark ages under the Roman Catholic church, took a little light under Luther’s justification. Under Wesley’s sanctification. Under Pentecost, restoration of gifts.

But this is restored Word, for the image. Because Christ’s perfect Word, must have perfect Word, or there’s no image, because you just get the image of what’s in the Word at that hour. From glory to glory.

Listen, for the first time in two thousand years, the veils of creeds and dogmas are ripped asunder.

That’s 2 Corinthians 11:4 restored as in Acts 3: Blind Laodicean eyes are… made open, by the Holy Spirit. They’re opened up. The Light struck, and we saw Christ, Christ Jesus Appeared before us.

And we are now because of His Presence, in the process of immortality. The Scripture says so. He is here, and “As we have born the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”

Now, that’s exactly what It says, and that’s where It ends. And remember, that cannot take place, until He is here in the form of the Holy Spirit. See? It is not tomorrow, it is now.

Now, we’re going to read in ‘The Unveiling of God’. 64 -06-14

[209]  So, …now in this age, when the old [denomination] traditional veil has been rent, from the Word of God, so It can be manifested! You see what I mean? The tradition says, “All those things are past.”

Let it soak a little… “[Those] things are past.” In the last day, that traditional veil has been rent apart, and here stands the Pillar of Fire. See? Here He is, manifesting the Word for His day. The veil is rent. 

Now, the world, still they don’t believe It. No matter what, they don’t see It. They don’t see It. It wasn’t sent to them. 

[210]  Remember, the Son of God was not revealed to Sodom, [the] messengers [were]… 

[211]  But, this, God Himself in human flesh was revealed to Abraham, the Elected. And watch what He done to reveal Himself. And now Abraham knew, when He knew what was in Sarah’s thought behind Him, he [called] Him, “Elohim… [That’s the last sign the church gets.]

[220]  The old saying, “The days of miracles is past,” the walls tore down! Jehovah stands in full view, manifesting His Word, [unveiling, the] unveiled One. That’s right Notice.

[221]  The Gentile church has also been blinded from the veil, after it’s [been] tore off and showed God, the ecclesiastical veil. How? By veiling the Word in human [flesh] again.

As soon as Brother Branham came on the scene they said, “That’s God, That’s God. That’s God.”

When he stood there as a prophet, they said, Phfft! “Forget it.” Who wants God? Absolutely disapproved of God.

They said, “Oh, we didn’t.” But, they did.

[221]  Now, By veiling the Word in human being again. That’s exactly what Israel failed to see. If it would have been some Angel or something, Israel would have believed It. But being it could not be an Angel, it had to be a man… 

God can’t break His Word. In the last days it has to be the same thing again. See? What blinded Israel? That Man. “You’re a Man making Yourself God.”

That’s what they killed Him for, and today, because the Message come through man and not Angels. See? God can’t change His way, change His Word. He said He changed not. See?

Notice, promised! And the Gentiles are just as blinded today as Israel was, because (what?) the veil. God veiled in a human being, blinded Israel. 

Notice,… blinded one. [Blinded everyone] One, It will blind; the other, It will reveal the Truth. It’ll close the eyes of some, and open the eyes of [others].

[242]  And we in Him! [That] we, being in Him, we are still veiled to the religionists and professors of the world. [They say, “What have you got? We’ve got it all.”]

See, our Glory that we have and enjoying, we are still veiled to them outsiders. They think we are “crazy, nuts or something.” That’s right. But we are in Him, [baptized into Him] we are partakers of this Glory. But not on the outside; they’re still looking in…

Now listen: 

[243]  …now we are invited into Him, to be partakers of all that He is. We’re invited into Him, which is hid to the unbelievers, by the veil of human flesh. See?

They know that Glory, they read of It, It’s in the Word here, “the Glory of God” and things like that, it’s just a word to them. To us, it’s a manifestation! See? It’s no more a word; it’s a reality…

I’m trying not to tell you, look, I am not preaching about something that’s going to happen. I am telling you what is happening, and how it’s happened. I’ve got every right, because a vindicated prophet said. 

[245]  Now it isn’t… a written Word to us, it’s a reality. We are in Him. We’re enjoying. Him. Now we behold Him, [now we see Him] manifesting Himself. It’s hid, out there, (why?) because It’s veiled in human flesh… 

You want to read some more, you can read it for yourself, 37 the whole page, except the last few lines. Turn to Page 38, and read paragraph 261, and turn the page… well, you go back to 36 and read over again 243.

Where it’s no more a Word, it’s reality. And that’s what I’m trying to tell you today, it is no more Word, it is Him, He Himself, in our presence, veiled in that Word.

Now, It is not tomorrow, it is now. See? No way can we go beyond that.

That is why I’m excited, and I sort of made my own little quote, from the Psalms, ‘The long, long night is past, our morning is here at last. That evening time might come and hush the dreadful wail and fury of the blast. The more the distant hill, our life has approached at last. The Logos has come.’

You people don’t want to believe He’s here. “Oh, He always was here.” Not the way He’s here now. See?

It’s just like every child is born in this building, and you the same way, you were in your father’s loins. You’re still the same one, when you come as a baby. But it’s different.

What you were back there in your mother and father, is what you are right now. But in a different way. So was God.

He’s no longer pouring forth the Holy Spirit in individuals, though certain ones will still be coming in. But He is here amongst us now. He is here, that’s it. That’s what it’s all about.

Shadow has given way to substance. In the days of the Voice of the seventh messenger, when every mystery is perfected. That which is perfect has come.

The hour of 1 Corinthians 15:51 is here. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, within the atoms, and synchronized of the last Trump, when the last Trump has sounded, Seventh Church Age messenger, Trumpet of Revelation 10:7 has sounded.

The Light of His Presence has struck, and is reverberating, pulsating rays have formed the perfect circle of the Logos, and the prophet, and the Bride, and the Son are all one.

Now, here’s the point. You can’t deny it’s got to happen sometime.

My question is; when it is going to happen?

My next question is; if it does happen, how are you going to know?

Now you see you’re stuck. Who’s going to tell you? My church? Set two preachers down, they’ll argue every point in the Bible.

Set a group down, and as the President of South Africa said, “If Moses had of been a committee, Israel would still be in Egypt.” That’s right.

It doesn’t come that way. Comes by a prophet. Oh, I know people say, “Well you see, God has spoken in the Son, and that ended It.” Did it?

Then rip out the Pauline epistles my dear brother/sister this morning. Rip them out, you’re a spiritual dunce.

You’re a hypocrite by your own testimony. It’s you, not God, has become the fool.

Because Jesus never came back in the flesh and wrote the Bible. He never wrote the Pauline epistles, Paul did.

And Paul said, “My revelation is from Jesus Christ. Not from myself, and not from a man.” Um?

Holy men of God called prophets, alone bring the Word, nobody else. Now, where does it say there’s no more prophets?

What about Hebrews 12: where It says, “Don’t you refuse him that speaketh from heaven.” He’s got to talk again.

Who’s going to say, “I’m going to hear?” The Pope? If you believe you can hear, outside of God’s ordained way, I would ask you now to join the Roman Catholic church, and get yourself a real vicar.

Of the devil, of course! Because at least he’s got the guts to stand up and say, “I speak for God.” While the Protestants shilly-shally around the outside like a bunch of jackals, and hyenas, trying to pick up the dregs. Fap.

I have no respect for man. Any creeds, any dogmas, why should I? How can I make men true, and God a liar?

Oh yes, it’s deep in the heart of men not to want God’s way. Oh, yeah. It’s there on a purpose, God allowed it. But the Elect, will never be deceived.

Those rays, have formed the perfect circle, making a unity of the Logos, the prophet, the Bride, and the Son, are all one.

Never more to be fragmented. No organization to bust up and mess with It. He is risen with healing in His wings. Yesterday is gone, don’t look back. There is no cosmos tomorrow.

So, don’t look ahead. Revelation 10: 6-7. Now, today is the day of our salvation. The redemption of the body is now.

Just let that light strike you. Gaze into the Word of promise of this hour, and that Word will be quickened in you to produce the reflection of God, even Jesus Christ.

Now let me tell you, I’m telling you the truth. But, we are Bride. With unveiled face, beholding in a glass the glory of the Lord.

We’re looking at It. We’re looking at It, we’re seeing ourselves here. And It doesn’t reflect Lee Vayle. It reflects Christ.

You say, “How?” Because, that’s what He said. That’s what He said. You say when you look at this Word, “Don’t you see yourself anymore?” No. I see Him.

All right, listen. Do you understand what I’m saying? There’s a mirror, I wish I had brought it up here. I’d give you all a chance to look at yourself.

I’d say, “Who do you think you see?” I see me. Great. But when… because natural light strikes you, an actual beam in an actual mirror.

It’s got to be that way. But when God’s Light strikes you, and remember this is the condemnation that Light has come into the world, and men reject the Light.

In other words, the sacrifice, the Blood, and the Resurrection doesn’t avail. But when the Light strikes you, it does avail.

Now, who does God look at, you or Christ? Christ, the High Priest, I’m Melchisedec. And if that Light strikes you, what’s going to come back out of that Word? You? Sure, in the image of Christ.

As you have borne the earthy, you begin stepping up, and stepping up,… Luther, Wesley, Pentecost, restored Word.

The last thing is Christ Appearing in human form. Though He’s got to reflect from that Word, and you see not yourself any longer, but, you see Him.

That means you see through the eyes of God. You and God, the prophet, the Word, the Son are all one. Because the Father had you in the beginning, you were in God’s loins in the beginning.

All the genes of God, were in Adam, placed there in the human race, the instrumentality. And God is bringing forth sons in a perfect image.

The genes have always been there. The image was distorted, but with the Light which is life, is pouring upon us, takes us back. It’s got to take us back to that One who came out of the ground, Whose body couldn’t corrupt.

You understand what I said His body couldn’t corrupt. Then we’ve got to have bodies that can’t corrupt. And this is the hour we’re changed in a glass,… we’re beholding in a glass the glory of the Lord.

Now, what is the glory of the Lord?

All right. “In whom the God of this world has blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

What is shining unto us? The image of God. Christ is shining. The projectionist has got a light for his projector, he drops in a slide.

The slide that is dropped in is Christ. It shines on us. It hits the mirror. What comes back? Christ comes back.

Now, can you believe that? I’m not finished yet. I’m going to tell you why you will believe in a little while. But it’s got to be that way.

Now, listen. That Light strikes you. “You will not die, but live.” As it says in John 11:26. All right. Be sure to get this. 2 Corinthians 3:7-11.

Now here we go.

In other words. That which remains is the final glory.

Now, listen carefully. The God upon Mount Sinai, was the same God that lived in Jesus the Christ, right?

The God that gave the Word at Mount Sinai, is the same glorious God, that’s the glorious God today. The Word given upon Mount Sinai, was the Word of God, and you cannot change It.

And the Word given today, is the Word of God, and you can’t change It. But what Word came forth on Mount Sinai?

Now, listen carefully because, here’s what’s going to be your help if you need to get help. God looked down with the Ten Commandments, that’s what It says in Exodus. And Moses brought it down.

The Ten Commandments uttered,

(1:) ‘Thou shalt not have no other God’s before me’.

And then it struck. And he said, “Could I be fooled about God?” And God said, “Yes.” You have been fooled, and you can be.

(2:) ‘Thou shalt not worship any other God, but me.’

Could I be fooled? “Oh, no it’s not possible.” But it was.

(3:) ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery.’

Oh? See, I’ve got a good wife. You can be suckered, because, it’s in you. Because you are an adulterer, even though you haven’t done it, you proved that you had it always.

(4:) ‘Thou shalt not lie.’

I don’t like liars. Why did He say, “Thou shalt not lie?” Because you were born to lie. It’s in you.

(5:) ‘Thou shalt not covet.’

I wouldn’t want someone to get what I’ve got. Paul said, “I didn’t know sin, except the law said Thou shalt not covet.”

I’m trying to show you, when God thundered in glory off of Sinai, the image that the Word reflected and proved, was man, a sinner.

Yet, not one man, even Jesus died. Not one man. Now, He didn’t die for Himself, He died for us. But I want to show you the image that came was man.

Now, look it. Who needs another Word, another reflection, another light, that reveals what man is. I don’t and you don’t. Because it’s death.

What we need is another image, another light, another revelation, another reflection. What is that? Something that gives Light. Tell me what it’ll do? Christ.

Now, you can’t be that man any longer my brother, my sister, because that’s death. Right? Then, if there is going to be an image that is going to work, you no longer see yourselves.

But you are this morning, I know that. This is why I’m teaching here. Because you’ve looked under the law, the wrong revelation. Because most of you are legalists.

Even a good eternal security doesn’t see this. You’re most, what? Methodist, Presbyterian, no they’re not legalists, Presbyterian’s are, because I was a semi-Presbyterian years ago.

Methodist, Nazarene, Pentecostal, Seventh Day Adventist, Salvation Army. The majority are legalists. They believe in falling away.

Because they look at themselves. You’ve already fallen away. You’re nothing in yourself. You’re dead. But you think that maybe somehow with Christ you can make it. You’re insane. You’re insane.

You’ve got to be changed. Got to be a new image. You had the earthly image, it’s death. Sin, adultery, false worship, blasphemy, everything right here. Death.

It was glorious. Oh, yeah. Same God. It was His Word. You can’t say the law is unholy. The law didn’t kill you, you were already dead. The law revealed what it was.

Now, this revelation, is where the sword of the prophet has cut the creeds and the dogmas, off the Word. Unveiled our minds, and revealed Christ.

And the Light today is Life, who is Christ. “When Christ Who is our Life, shall appear, we shall appear with Him in glory.”

Now look, I’ve taken my last look at Lee Vayle. True. I no longer look in the mirror where it says this and that and another thing about a man.

I say, “That’s fine, that’s for a man. That’s not for me.” I’m not lying to you. I have no sense of guilt, I have no sense of fear.

Eternal life to me is opening my Bible, and going and sitting down which I soon will do, and we’ll go and eat.

You say, “How can it be that common?” Because it is that common. Because that is eternal life. I am not going to change. I’m not going to be an angel. Fap!

Why should I be? Give me one reason. I’m not going to be a cherubim. Who wants to be? I haven’t got the nature for it.

You’re not going to be a beautiful sweet polar bear, that doesn’t bite anybody anymore. I’m me, I will not be Jesus Christ, I will not be William Branham, I will not be Paul, I will not be Moses, I will be Lee Vayle.

The real Lee Vayle. Yeah. I’m no cherubim. When we make it together, you’ll know me, and I’ll know you. It’s just nice that there’s coming a day when all remembrance is going to be taken from us.

Why should I fear? What is this big thing? As though there’s some big curtain to lift, or some big river to cross. Hogwash. You’re wrong.

You’re looking in the wrong mirror. You can’t get that nonsense in the Word of God, that people teach.

You can’t let the Light of God hit you, and reflect in that Word, and see yourself as some individual with a dozen images.

Forty-five years ago, at the age of twenty-two, when I was bemoaning my rottenest… and I am rotten in myself, so forget it. The voice thundered inside of me, not audibly, but shaking the depths of my soul.

“Call that not common or unclean which God has cleansed.”

And I knew He’s talking about me. And I said so, Pentecostal Lee, nice and legally, I said, “Well, Lord, that’s very sweet of You, but You see, I know myself.”

Forty-five years later, a Hand came down, part of my brain is dead, I can’t think in the complexes anymore. I can’t think in the other.

Oh sure, the devil can test me, phfft! who cares about him, that fat-headed jerk from hell? Let him go back where he came from.

I’ve got no part of him, he has no part in me. I don’t have any guilt. Not that I don’t do things that I shouldn’t do. I don’t have any guilt.

“You seem to become hardened, your conscience is shot.” You’re wrong, you don’t know your Bible!

I’m telling you people, I know shouting isn’t going to make a difference… but I’m telling you. Wake up. Wake up.

You’re not in the old creeds and dogmas, the old image under the law, you’re under grace. I know grace for the first time in my life.

It is not you and God, it is God alone doing It. God is shedding the Light from the prophet, that reveals the Son in me, and Lee Vayle is out of the picture.

What would you like to see about me, for Pete’s sake? What would I like to see about myself, for heaven’s sake? Forget it!

If life could come by a law, we could do something. But life has laws, but it is not a law. Get this flat. Life is not a law. It has laws, but it’s a life. God has laws, but God is not a law, He’s God.

Now, the Light came from the prophet, the Word revealed, vindicated prophet… struck the prophet, and he was stopped and listened and said, “Hey, let’s keep walking. Keep walking.” Israel couldn’t do it.

Israel couldn’t do it. Even though it would mean death, they turned it all down flat. You turn down this today, you’ve missed the First Resurrection, you’ve missed the Millennium, you missed it all.

You’ll have to wait until the Second Resurrection, and see where you come up. If you qualify. But, you won’t see yourselves any longer.

No, I’m waiting for the step, which I hope comes pretty soon when I won’t see anybody either. I’ll just see Him. I won’t look at individuals anymore, because we’re looking at each other still. At this point I have come, and I’ve arrived, where I see Him and Him alone. Myself, doesn’t matter.

I know what I am. Crying over spilled milk doesn’t do it. If God doesn’t change you, you’ll never be changed. If He doesn’t take, it’ll never be taken.

It’s all in His hands now. It’s all over, where I see Him. The hour in which I live. The next thing, is that sweet Spirit coming into the Church, and He told me I’m going to have it.

Now, I could die, because it’s on the other side too. You don’t have to take my word of testimony, but I’m telling you.

As a servant of God, I have not led you astray, I have told you the truth, and revealed to you what’s going on in this hour.

It’s up to you. You do what you want. Now, there’s nothing you can do. Nothing I can do. Simple words I said one day, almost a year ago.

“Well, unbelieving hasn’t got me anywhere, I might as well believe.” And I didn’t even really believe. But the Hand came down and turned.

And a fifty-six year old complex is gone. And guilt is gone, and fear is gone. I’m afraid of people. I’m still afraid of the …?…

But I’m not afraid of Him. Can’t be. Because the image that came back, is Christ. It’s not Lee Vayle any longer. It’s not you any longer as a person. It is Christ.

Don’t ever forget, verse 18, “It takes light, or the mirror is dead. You are dead, all is dead. It takes the light.” What struck you?

The Light that shone on the prophet. What Light was that? “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.”

And that Word became flesh, then It went back to being a Pillar of Fire, in the day of Paul. And that Light is to Appear at the end-time.

And that Light is Life. And we are life. And that Light shining upon us makes all the difference. I could say much more.

As I told you, exactly thirty-five pages of notes, they go the same direction, but they say the same thing, in a different manner.

I’m not doing that today, but I what you to understand this brother/sister, the ‘Omega Reflection’, there will not be another prophet.

There will not be another revelation. There will not be another day, which we call ‘day’ in the vernacular, you know, time going on and on.

He is here now, Christ has been revealed amongst us, the Light that God gave through a prophet has struck.

And that Light has gone right back to God, from each individual. And if that is the true Life, God must call the Reality of that Life, to fall upon Him.

Because when He said, “Let there be light.” A kangaroo did not jump in His face.

And the Angel did not dance and sing and say, “Hallelujah.” There weren’t any.

When He said, “Let there be light: because that was the Word of God. God Himself, quickened that Word, and It was life, no longer a word.

And there is no Word, that is any different. “For the Word that I speak”, and Jesus said, “They are Spirit, and they are life.”

For there comes a time when that Word must take upon Itself concerning you and me, a life in a human form.

And “The veil were veiled to the world”, Brother Branham said. The denomination, they can’t stand hearing you and me say, “Oh, I’m changed, I’m different, I am the image of Christ.”

And they say, “Ha, ha, ha, you and who else ” Meaning of course, “I am His.” Fall away. Yep. I don’t know if the last one’s in or not. I know certain things haven’t transpired.

So, I’m not trying to tell you the Resurrection will be this day and that day. Look, I don’t.

But I’m going to tell you one thing: what has been quickened to me, must be quickened to all of us, because it is the Word of God.

When God came down and stood before Abraham, He said, “This is that hour, that the beginning of the Son upon earth, Appears in human flesh.” He said, “This is that One.”

And I will assure you today, brother/sister, something has happened to my mind. And though I know, I could die tomorrow, and though I want to get out of here, I’ll be honest with you.

Look, I would sooner have a million dollars than to be in debt a million dollars. Wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t you sooner be out of here? Sure.

I told you why, let’s just get out of here. It’s nice, I like what I am, I’m comfortable, but I’d like it in a better place. My arthritis bothers me.

Let’s go to Tucson, where it’s dry. Can’t find that the dryness doesn’t help me. Now I know, we’re getting grey hair, and why am I wearing glasses?

Wouldn’t I like to have my eyes nice and bright again. Sure! I want my eyes nice and bright. I want my hands sensate. I want to eat, I want to sleep. I want to drink. I love people, and want people to love me.

I want to get there, and get back. I’m in a hurry. But something in my heart says, “You ain’t going to make it that way.” Why?

I still may make it that way. But this is the hour that, “He that liveth and believeth in Me, shall never perish.”

That’s what I believe, because that’s the Word of the hour that’s been quickened. Now, I could die tomorrow. Can I do this? It’s been quickened. It’s been quickened.

There are those standing here who will not die. You could be eighty years old today sitting here, seventy-five, sixty-eight like me and my wife.

Let me tell you something. We can still be standing here to see the dead come out. And a sweep go over our bodies, and walk into immortality.

Listen, don’t disbelieve me. I am telling you the truth. I am not a prophet, but listen, the same Spirit of God is here. Listen, the prophet said, “I must decrease, and He must increase.” He is increasing.

Children, oh look, believe that He is risen with healing in His wings. The Resurrection is upon us. The Rapture is upon us.

Everything is upon us brother/sister, because in Him as Creator, and Maintainer, is everything.

And He is here today, believe me, He’s here. How do you know? Because It’s been crystallized. You can’t change it, but it’s real.

The Lord Bless you. Let’s rise.

Took a long time, I intended to.

Gracious, heavenly Father, it’s been a long time with the dear folk here. Could have spent more time, but no need, I don’t believe there’s more… no need, because, Lord, I could take a million years and talk, and that wouldn’t do the job.

But there’s a people here, Lord, that have been quickened by the Holy Spirit. And I know that they kept the things of God. And I know, Lord, I know absolutely there’s no more chance of me leaving here unchanged, than there is that time’s not going on.

At least for the next five seconds. And there’s no more way than deny we have been here two solid hours and better. Two and a half.

No way knowing, Lord, absolutely I know, the unveiled mind receiving the unveiled Word, will absolutely bring Christ into pre-eminence, and they will stop seeing themselves, and know it’s out of their hands entirely.

It’s God. And they see the same image being built in them, immortal. Christ the first-fruits, afterward they that are at the Presence of God.

He raises the dead. Lord, it’s wonderful, it’s marvelous, and we know the devil cannot take this from us.

This is one thing the devil cannot do. [Inaudible] He can try to imitate everything, and do everything under high heaven. But he cannot, he cannot, give us a wrong revelation anymore. Because we’ve been freed.

And he can not do anything about it. All he can do is stand back and glower. And he can make life as miserable as he can, which we do not doubt for one minute. But he will certainly try.

So, we also don’t doubt for one minute, Lord, You’re on our side. And You will help us, because You said, “No testing is given, that we’re unable to bear, and will make a way of escape.”

And, Lord, we’ve been going through that. And we’re going to go through in Lord. And because we’re so chicken in that respect, we’d like to get out of here.

But, Lord, if you could put a little more Eagle Blood in us, somehow. We’d still like to stand here, and prove it can be done.

God can do it through mankind. And we’d like to be a part of that. See, a part of that through the years, that we saw You and Your Word stand with us.

And we could stand there and absolutely You showed that we’re more than conquerors through Jesus Christ, our beloved. And the same promises are today, and we’re thankful for it.

Lord, this Message, Lord, cannot die. Because it is a Message of life. It can not be put on a shelf. Because it refuses to be put. For It, is the ‘putter.’ Imagine Lord, someone trying to ‘put the putter’.

Merciful heavens, what a terrible thing that would be. But, Lord, we are not of that kind. We are of the regeneration, entering into a restored, back to God, by faith and revelation.

The Light has struck us, revealed Christ, and we a part. Now, unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be all honour and power and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Lord bless you, [inaudible] We had a wonderful time. I always thank the people for coming out, because it gives me a chance to express my faith.

That makes me feel so good, I don’t have an ache in my body, a pain in my head, or a wrong feeling in my heart. Just feel so great.

So I just pray, that we’ll get together again to have a good time. And if you don’t have a good time, remember this one thing… you’ve given me a good time.

So, thank you, thank you, thank you. God love you, and we love you too.
