Questions and Answers #18

Shall we pray.

Heavenly Father, we appreciate the fact of Your Presence, especially knowing that the first chapter of Genesis opens up with the fact that the world was in a chaotic condition, and when Your Spirit hovered and brooded over it, according to Your Word it brought forth beauty out of chaos, and it brought forth Lord a proper formed government of cohesiveness within the universe and Yourself Lord, and You were able to bring something to a peak, whereby You said You were satisfied with the work that You had done.

And now it was on at least for that time an even keel, where mankind was supposed to and did for awhile do those things in the land which were in true harmony.

And we realize tonight Lord in this hour of chaotic condition that You have come down, as Head of the church, to bring the church from darkness into light and from chaos into unity, with the Headship of our God by the living Word, which made all things and maintains all things, and will soon bring forth a Bride and set her in the Millennium.

And then going on to the finish wherein You have set forth in Your Word that particular destination, as we see the New Jerusalem, and the Bride and the Lamb on the throne, God Himself, Father, in a Pillar of Fire above the throne and all the others, perhaps we might call them foolish virgin, on the earth and bringing their glory in, and You then have established Your Kingdom and this is what You desire.

So Lord we know that this has already increased with the increase and fullness of God, and we believe Lord that some of us at least will be here to see this brought into effect through the resurrection, the changing from mortality to immortality, and the Millennium and on and on Lord, we believe that is this hour of the Seventh Seal, and we give You praise.

Help us Lord tonight to study Your Word, and may it be with joy as we draw waters out of the well of salvation.

Though some of it Lord may be difficult, we pray that it will somehow have effect to establish, it can helping us to know things, especially those things that are revealed to us, and those things which are not, to learn to leave them alone or leave them in Your hands.

In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now we’re going to continue tonight to sort of look at questions that have been asked me, and I don’t pretend to have all the answers as though I know everything, I certainly do not, but we look at them and just see how far we can go and hopefully it may be that the Lord will give us the opportunity of going from that particular area onward.

Now we’re going to sort of just talk about different things before we get right into answers, and there are certain things that perplex me, because they perplex Brother Branham.

He could not understand how it was that people, who called themselves born again, would vote for a Roman Catholic by the name of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

And he said at that particular time, he said, “If America endorses a Roman Catholic, how can there be any such thing as a proper missionary movement ever come out of America again, because as they go down into South America and Mexico and places, they’ll say, “Well just a minute, you’ve got a Roman Catholic at the head of your nation, what are you talking about?””

And this is exactly true as Brother Branham brought it out.

Now I know you might say, “Well I think Brother Branham made a bit of a mistake there, on the very grounds that there are people gone down there, and the Pentecostal movement in particular is so strong that literally hundreds of thousands of people have been converted to Christ, and at the same time the Catholic church is now in a matter of continual uproar and reassessing their ranks and their problems as to find out what they can possibly do about these evangelicals that are stirring up the people and winning their priests over and everybody else over, and of course this looks like a mighty rout that is caused by God Himself in the forces of Satan.”

But let’s just take a look at it. When Brother Mattsson Boze was going down to Africa, Brother Branham had him sit right in his congregation, and there he preached a sermon: ‘End Time Evangelism.’

And you’ll know that ‘End Time Evangelism’ was a message that was absolutely ordained of Almighty God, vindicated in the life of Brother Branham, set forth here absolutely manifested that this was the end time evangelism, but Boze went down there as far as I know with the same old Trinitarian dogma which came out of Roman Catholicism.

Now we’ve looked into John 3 so many times, that I think you might be bored by me talking about it. But I’ve learned this by talking to people over the years, that they can hear me preach and preach, and hear me preach and preach, and preach and preach, and they still don’t know what I said.

I don’t want to insult anybody but I’m just telling you the truth. I don’t know why it is that we’ve received so little information which is from God and of God, ordained of God, and vindicated by God, that we just simply don’t set our sails into the wind that God has sent to us and we go sailing over His beautiful sea of glass, His sea of glory.

Now we know that:

Now we know He shed His blood in order to get rid of sin. As Brother Branham said, “How can you call a man a sinner when the blood of Jesus Christ scatters sin till there be no evidence of it?” And if there’s no evidence, there’s nothing there, how can you make a man a sinner?

Now the point is we know that this is not a true dictum in the light of total encompassment of the so-called human race. Because if that were the condition then the blood of Jesus Christ should have satisfied God as pertaining to everybody, then forget it, we’re all free. But you see it doesn’t work that way.

And because people don’t read what is contingent to it, in the sense they get the context of the text, they violate, vitiate and destroy reality. And the people grabbing that which is not real, then die!

In other words, it’s like a person in a dream. He’s thirsting and he thinks he drinks water, but he hasn’t. He thinks he’s eating food, but he hasn’t, and his stomach is distended and just full of air, there’s nothing there, because there’s no food.

Now he said:

Now there again you’ll notice people don’t realize there’s two worlds. You go to Peter, there’s the world of the ungodly that got destroyed. And if there’s a world of the ungodly, there’s a cosmos of the godly!

And the cosmos of the godly got saved, because eight souls came down. See? You know you just… hey man, listen. This Word isn’t just something you look at and think you’ve got it because you looked at it and quoted it.

Now:

So what we’re having here then, there is no such thing as anybody believing on the Name and getting out of condemnation, which you would get if you did believe on Him, outside of light. And that light is revealed Scripture.

That’s why Brother Branham said, “The Name of God revealed is the Scripture properly and correctly interpreted.”

So now the point is: how can people then say that there is a true revival down there in South America? Now the most you could hope to come out of it any place at this late hour would be foolish virgins. All right, that sounds very good.

How many people got into Israel …that is into the Promised Land? Only two over twenty, all the rest died. So all them died out there.

How many then were true foolish virgin? In the mixed multitude? They were all religious, they all saw the signs and wonders, all baptized into Moses and unto Christ, died, carcasses.

Now I’m painting a bleak picture because it is a bleak picture. Just the other day I picked up a magazine by a bunch of hoorah type of Pentecostals.

Oh they’re hoorah type, yes they can do the fandango dance and they can scream, and I should have brought it to you and raised it up here and showed you, and said, “What is the world going to do when it wakes up one morning and find millions have been taken away in a rapture?”

Oh… Eight souls, brother/sister, eight! I can’t… look it, my fingers are too stiff, but hey, eight. Yep, eight. I counted right. Then why do they try to make it millions?

Now I want you to sit here tonight and understand these things. And when you do, give way to it. Don’t fight. For who art thou oh man that reply against God? See you can’t do it!

Now we listen to the prophet say the woman’s vote did it. Who do you think got in Clinton? Now let me give you an idea what Clinton stands for and what’s ahead in America, and I’m talking this way because it has to do with the future of this church!

All right, here’s the bill that Senator Kennedy, oh brother, he’s the guy with the [inaudible] bombs and the rest that love all this stuff.

“If the bill passed by the US Congress, Senate bill 5748HR1430 in the House, if it’s passed, will destroy much that God intends for your family. This pro-homosexual legislation could…”

Now it doesn’t say it will! But you’re smart enough to know that any time a law is passed in the land, and smart crooked lawyers, especially those in the American Civil Liberties Union, those that defy the truth and the Word of Almighty God, and there’s multitudes, there’s literally millions, as against a few hundred that don’t, don’t you think they’ll exert everything they can to take the law and pervert it and they’re doing it right now with Christians!

Now this is for homosexuals, and you know that Mr. Clinton has already said, “I am going to see that the homosexuals are well taken care of. They’ll be in my cabinet, they’ll be here, they’ll be there, without…” Ross Perot said the same thing.

Now remember this flat, Clinton did not get a mandate from the people. He only won by about two percent or three percent. There was no mandate.

But when you have a man like Clinton, and a Democratic Congress, the whole house democratic, and they’re pulling together, and they’ve listened already to the homosexuals, and of course you’re broadminded to believe it’s fine, how broad is your mind?

The way that God is now, it is straight, it is not broad! That’s destruction.

Let’s read about this: “…force your churches to hire gays and lesbians…”

Do you think they won’t? Oh you’ve got to be kidding. You’re not even born yet, you are a miscarriage. If you don’t like it, walk out. I’m not fooling, because this concerns me and this church here.

We can have our doors closed within a few weeks, because we dare to rise up and stand against this stuff which is against the Word of Almighty God!

They can say, “You’re preaching hate.”

Now let’s go further: “…make your schools teach children homosexuality is normal and acceptable lifestyle…” They’re already teaching it. “…legalize homosexual marriage…”

They’ve done it in Canada. You say, “No they really haven’t, because they haven’t had ceremonies.” They’ve had them here in the States, they’ve had them in Canada no doubt, and in Canada it’s recognized.

They have the rights of a spouse if one dies. Your taxpayers and your pension dollars, what you put into social security, and all of these things will benefit those people who are a hundred percent against God, for which God will destroy this earth and I’m going to read it to you!

I thought we made a pretty good move here awhile ago by forming a small corporation to take the church over. So you people are free.

All you need at this point is to actually get rid of your corporation papers even, you can get rid of your constitution, you’ve got no worries, all you got to do is have about two elders and a board, that’s all you need to represent you, and you can have your IRS number, and that’s all you need, you can give tax receipts. And you’re free, unorganized, a hundred percent.

But they can come back on the three trustees, and I’m one of them, and Greg [inaudible] is another one, and Bill Graham is the other one.

They can come back on us and say, “Now you better rent your building, because there’s some homos want to have a party in your hall.”

What are we going to do? We’ll close the church and burn the door, burn it down! And Brother Branham said they will close these buildings! Is this the way they’re going to do it?

Now the Catholic church is against it, but they’re impotent, they always have been. They’ve got priests that’s loused up, they’re full of AIDS and everything else.

Read your paper today on child molestation and one priest has effectively destroyed maybe a hundred young men! The church can’t do one thing about it; they’re sick weirdo with the rest of them.

And let me tell you something else, Mrs. Hillary Clinton, she’s out of the Methodist church, and if you know what I know about the Methodist church, having read the books years and years ago, they were the ones that promoted Communism the most, and they said Stalin is just like they’re uncle, “We’ll call him Uncle Joe.”

And they’re the ones that wrote books and told how great it was that young people get together and go down and shack up and mix the colors, everything else. Do you think those books aren’t around? They’re around somewhere.

I think I know enough information how to get some, Lockwood’s still living, Kenny [inaudible] is dead, but Lockwood’s still living, I can get ahold of him. He’ll have the books. And trace it down.

All right, I’m going to take some Scripture for you, and I’m going to show you exactly what the Bible says.

And you can do what you want about it, believe me, I’m going to tell you brother/sister, you’d better be on your toes and realize we could get our heads knocked off and we could be closed out because of the very thing that Mr. Clinton and his bunch stand for.

And no doubt he’ll be a very good president, just the same as Jack Kennedy was. He’ll be good for those, the rest of them.

All right, let’s get into,

I ask you a question, is there something about abomination mentioned in the Book of Revelation? There sure is. And what kind of a can of worms are you looking up to? Read a little further.

Now listen, the Bible is telling you right now that the land that we are inhabiting is defiled because of this!

Oh they say, “No, what it is, it’s that acid rain!”

That’s what you say, what does God say? God says, “This is the start of it!”

Now go back and cast around in your minds and see if that isn’t true. Cast in your minds and realize this one thing: had we this under control, we would have controlled the other things, which are acid rain and all those things that pollute the land!

But the pollution comes in the human bodies from the rank spirit of hell! Which is serpent seed, which I’ll talk about. How far am I going to read? Did I read to 25? Yes, it said the land’s defiled.

Let’s go to,

Let’s read further. You say, “Brother Vayle, are going to wipe those guys out?” I’m not wiping anybody out. But there’s a cure for it.

And the church doesn’t want to cure it, it wants to enhance it. It makes in the adoring filth, and they say, “Oh we’re great Christians, because you see we understand.”

You understand what? I got a Bible that understands that stuff.

Colossians 3:

It lets you know here that when you become a Christian those things cannot obtain. Neither will they be advocated by any true Christian.

So therefore these people out there that are advocating themselves in some kind of Christians, they’re some kind all right, they’re certainly not our kind.

And the only reason you can call them Christians is because they’re not Muslims or Hindus or Taoists or something else. They don’t belong to the Sikh’s and the Jannes.

All right, let’s go further. We go to 1 Corinthians the 6th chapter.

Now remember this stuff here endorsed by the church and fostered by the government absolutely can shut our doors and they can come right against the Word of God, against you and me and say, “Listen, we don’t care two bits what you or the Word of God says,” and this Word is vindicated! We’ll talk about it.

They can come against us and say it’s the law of the land. And there’s nothing you can do about it. I think it was Trudeau got the hate law in Canada, or under his government.

All right, 1 Corinthians 6:9-20, and it says:

It does not call it sexual intercourse, it says abusing themselves! That’s exactly why they’ve got AIDS! If you want to know the truth, the lower colon is so fine in its texture that it can be bruised and destroyed by sodomy! Come on, let’s get with it. Here’s where it comes from.

Now he tells you right there, “Listen, that obtained, but when you’re born again it does not obtain.”

Now Brother Branham used to say years ago about the folk that said, “Hey,” he said, “the sheep got out, but how did the goats get in?” He said, “You let down the bars!”

So now here these homosexual people, men and women both, they want to have families brought in by somebody else. Born of somebody else. They want to have marriages. What in the name of common sense for?

Now just a minute, marriage has always been the prerogative of the church! Not the prerogative of the government! Before there was a government, marriage ordained of God and a ceremony! Not government!

Now government’s going to step around and tell you against the Word of Almighty God, “This is a marriage, two men get together, two women.” You talk about filth. But Clinton says it’s okay.

I’m not here selling politics, I’m just trying to bring you up to date and let you know that we are in greater trouble than you think and churches will be closed because of this! Or I’m going to miss my guess.

I’m not saying I’m a prophet standing here, but let’s face it. Something’s got to do it. See? And this is the start of the whole thing. One great big, filthy mess.

Now I didn’t get far enough yet.

Now he said:

Now where do you get that in the male and female? That is to say male to male and female to female, one flesh? You can’t do it. What you get is filthy, illegitimate, rotten sex.

Now that’s just fornication, what about homosexuality? AIDS! Say, “Well I think that came by what they call the retrovirus. It has come by a combination of viruses coming together, mutation, even where they split genes and all and bring it together.”

I don’t care what it came by, who’s being hit? Now the fornication comes in because even the heterosexuals are fast passing the homosexuals for AIDS. But don’t worry; it’s going to get the millions, because that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

Now then how does anybody of what I’ve read here have a right to say – “Well I’m going to tell” – like one guy, I heard to my dismay, and I could ask certain people in this congregation who know the man and say if I said wrong.

But this man told his congregation that it was gloves off when it came to sex when you’re married, because the marriage bed is honorable to all, and it doesn’t matter what you do, when Brother Branham said different!

Now you might not like this kind of preaching, I’m sorry for you, you can go any time you want, I don’t like it either, but I’m going to preach it. Because I’m just fool enough to believe the Word of Almighty God.

This is why when they were going to cross over to the Promised Land, it was absolutely told the parents of every child born to them, “You shall teach this to your children, you shall teach it to your children, you shall teach it to your children! You’ll bind them upon your forehead! You’ll put them upon your wrist, so that the clunk-clunk, tap-tap-tap-tap-tap will make you think about the Word of God, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not do this!”

Everybody wants a positive gospel “Thou shalt, thou shalt,” then thou shalt do what God says in His Word concerning sexual matters, and don’t go overboard!

Should be horribly embarrassing for people to even think they even thought of those things. It shows that nothing but a filthy spirit; that’s exactly what it is, it is a filthy spirit.

Let’s go to Jude. And I’m not worried about any real sweet spirit tonight, because I’m going to tell you one thing. The same sweet Spirit that came into the church was the same judging Spirit with eyes of fire that has already judged the world.

And the sentence has passed upon them, even to the extent very shortly Malachi 4 will come right to pass, as Brother Branham said, “We stand right before the White Throne now.”

And when this earth is finished off, it’s all over, all they’re waiting for the execution, the sentence has been passed.

Otherwise how could Brother Branham say, “I indict this generation,” and stand up on one side and say, “You are nothing but the virtuous righteous Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, you didn’t even do it,” if there wasn’t the curse on the other hand then it couldn’t be God, because God’s got two hands, left and right. Right?

Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, blessing and cursing. You say what you want, but I’m telling you the Word of God. And I’ll tell you, you just prove me wrong; you can’t do it.

Come up here and stutter and stand here and act like God knows what, but you can’t prove it, I know I’m right. Yep.

Jude.

That’s like the Bible said, if you deny the Son, you deny the Father. If you deny Jesus, forget it, God’s against you. There’s only one advocate, one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. How are you going to get away from it?

You say, “Well listen, come on, I believe Brother Branham’s message,” and then you turn on the morality that Brother Branham preached? The living Word of God? Come on! Anybody can come out.

Like I’ve said many a time, when I left Pentecost, thank God Pentecost left me. And I mean it, it’s no boasting, it’s the truth. I was fortunate, very unique that I knew something was wrong with that very doctrine and those people, I couldn’t pin it, but I knew something was wrong.

And I remember that night I said, “Thank you God for the Holy Ghost, but still there’s something wrong somewhere, I’m not too happy.” But you see it took me a long time to find out. But God is faithful. Amen.

Male to male, woman to woman is strange! It isn’t nature! It’s only becoming nature to a degree when all the chemicals and all the junk is in the water, because man did what he did, and it’s coming back upon the animals! Now they’re getting perverted and homosexual.

Who had that article in the church here, who had that? You had it? Good. Make copies and put it on the board and give it to everybody. Let the people know.

You don’t fool with the Word of God. When you fool with the Word of God, you fool with God. Come on! Rhema, Logos, it’s a Rhema Logos God and don’t forget it!

There never was a government or a constitution without written law that demanded obedience! And God gives us not just the right but the ability to live that Word! My, my, my, a people are so messed up in these days.

Thank God for a separating Word. Just get out of this.

Notice what it says here:

Now listen, the fire that fell temporarily at Sodom and Gomorrah, due to homosexuality, is now going to come and it’s eternal fire! God Himself blasting it.

And I’m going to tell you one thing, we can preach all we want, and Brother Branham could and everyone in this church and it’s going to take the Lord to rebuke them, we’re not going to do it, but I can stand here and preach and warn you and try to help you.

Flee these things. Means getting rid of your monitors and your video cassettes, throw them in the garbage. Because I’m going to tell you one thing will lead to another. I get pretty worried about what goes on.

Now:

And what are the brute beasts doing? It hits right back on the program of sex. People are programmed for sex, but you don’t have to be programmed unless you want it for the illicit and the filthy and the beastial!

You’re programmed for it, but it’s a righteous act by the right people in the right way. Even serpent seed can be right. When they step out of line, watch it, the whole thing goes.

They’ve gone the way of Cain, what did Cain do? A murderer. Tried to worship God apart from revelation, killed.

Now what do you think of the Muslims over there, from Iran? They’ve got two million bucks on poor old Salman Rushdie’s head now. Oh that’s great religion!

Now what’s Rafsanjani done? Oh he’s a better man now than old Ayatollah Khomeini! He put out twice the dough now. That’s religion for you.

How many atrocities are committed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ also? Do you think they’re going to hold off? I understand Brother Branham said something about the fact hunt them down like dogs.

What was it advantage for Mr. Clinton, that I don’t believe is homosexual at all, has any tendencies toward it, even wants it, why did he say, “I’ll take you in”? Advantage. He’s got the presidency because of it.

“Well Brother Vayle, I’ve been reared different from you.” Well bully for you.

How do you know how I was reared? I’m looking at the Word of God, not to Lee Vayle. I’m not looking at this congregation as though you’ve accepted a bunch of hogwash, but I want you to know the fat’s in the fire. The man said it!

He said abortion’s fine. That’s murder! I know awhile ago we didn’t understand these things, a fetus was just a fetus, get rid of it!

But with the prophet every answer is in the Bible concerning mankind, we’ve got it, and that’s one of the answers! What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it?

There’s a man who refused to raise up children to his brother, by marrying his widow. And Brother Branham said in the end time that women refuse their husband children but they’d nurture a dog or something.

Now listen he said it, I didn’t. But I’m going to tell you something, we better listen, because we’re obligated, we’re judged by this Word.

I’m not trying to chop anybody’s head off, but I’ll tell you one thing, you raise your head and you try to tell me contrary. That oh it’s a good thing to legalize homosexuality.

Hey listen, we give them all that the government allows them to give, but don’t let the government tell us! If they want to do it they’ll do it! But the government has no right to come and tell me I’ve got to spend all my tax money on people that wantonly do this filthy thing.

I tell you my stand right today is this on drugs and homosexuality and anything else, go ahead and do it, but don’t come to me… you ask for it, you pay your own price! Stand still one time and pay your price! You know what I’m talking about; I’m talking about a ministry. I had to face it.

Most ministers do, or they’re not worth a plug nickel. Got a knife in your back and one of your guts and fifteen hundred people trying to climb on top, you got to stand there and take every single thing. And you take it.

I don’t care what your upbringing was, what your father and mother taught you. Maybe you still got that kind of father and mother.

If you haven’t, you haven’t got God in my books, because there’s no way that you can tell me that you can come against this Book that I’ve been reading right here, and it condemns the very thing, and I read all through here in the Scripture, I read it to you over here in Colossians, said the wrath of God comes because of this very thing. The earth, everything else.

That’s why Brother Branham could stand up and say, “What was that original sin in the Garden of Eden? It was illicit sex; it was a woman and a beast.” A filthy, rotten animal.

But I’m going to tell you one thing; he was prettier and sexier by far, than ninety percent of the men in this congregation if not a hundred percent. You can say what you want, but that’s the truth.

Otherwise why did even the sons of God lust after the daughters of men? That’s your original Amazon’s, did you know that? Do you think the Amazonian theory about women, the big women warriors is just a myth? It’s based in truth.

Because there’s nothing that’s not based in truth, brother/sister, let’s get that flat. You can take the truth and throw it into an allegory as well as a parable, but you’d better watch out what you’re doing. Pretty soon it becomes a myth.

Well it’s not nice to talk this way, but it’s the only way I can talk and so I talked. Sorry… I’m not sorry about it at all. The fact of the matter is these things need looking into.

What have I got here? Have I got something here? Oh wrong notes, I do believe. I got pages of notes here drifting around and I don’t think I’m going to get to the hard part.

Give me a little time and I’ll find everything, and if I don’t find it, I’ve got plenty up here to work on. Not there. Maybe it’s here. If it’s not there, it’s someplace else. Oh here it is, because I wrote on the side of it.

All right, the question was asked, it came up and it said, “Brother Branham said we have the answer to the devil’s questions. What was the question and what was the answer?”

Well that’s good. You could draw your own conclusion, I can draw mine. But the fact of the matter is there is a question, there is an answer.

So why the quote that I have to go to or want to go to is ‘Christ the Mystery of God Revealed,’ I got Brother Bob to get it from me, because I don’t manipulate these quotes in the sense that I can pull them up. I pull them up in my mind but I want to have them here.

Okay.

Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed 07/28/63

[84-2]  Notice, being personally identified by the original Headship, [notice, being personally identified by the original Headship,] we have the devil’s question. He, Christ, is risen and has paid the price and raising up the head – the Body. The devil can’t stand it.

[85-1]  Now, we are the sons of God, not we will be; we are. Now, we’re redeemed. We have Satan’s answer.

Okay, we’ve got the devil’s question and we’ve got the devil’s answer. Now listen, really what he’s saying here we’ve got the answer to the devil’s question, the devil and Satan is really what… we have answered Satan, what we’re coming at.

[85-1]  God’s vindicated Himself. God’s proved Himself to His promise in this day. Hallelujah. The Headship is here (Amen.), Christ, the risen Lord. It’s here in the same power of His resurrection that He ever was, manifesting Himself. That’s the devil’s answer. [In other words, that the answer to the devil.]

Okay:

God’s Only Provided Place Of Worship 11/28/65

[61]  God help us to do the same thing. We don’t have to answer the Devil’s questions, that’s right, “If thou be, do so-and-so.” You’re responsible for that Gospel, a preacher is, and that’s all; not how it’s written, it’s just responsible for saying it.

Okay, the first thing we look at is the devil actually asked two questions of which we’re interested.

Number one in the Garden of Eden: “Yea, hath God surely said thou wilt not die?” In other words he’s questioning the Word of God as to the authenticity of it. “Is it really true?”

Now in this woman’s condition, she doesn’t even know what death is! No, nothing’s dying out there! All she sees is a progression of the reality of God, as Brother Branham said in that garden if they wanted a tree moved, they just say, “Tree move over here.”

And he said there weren’t gnarled and crooked branches. In other words anything that wasn’t symmetrical and beautiful! Nothing like that! Nothing at cross purposes! So how could she know? See?

Now this woman, not having any manifestation or anything that she could put her hand on as to give her the right to discuss the Word of God, she does it anyway!

So she rises to the bait, “Is it really true?” See? Now, having talked to Satan, she comes from behind the Word, because she listens to the question.

Now notice, she herself did not originate the question. It was as Paul said, put into her mind! And that’s where it started.

That’s where her loss of her dignity and relationship, all of those things that had accrued to her by a sheer gift of God’s grace, she laid to one side by actually asking a question, allowing it to be in her mind.

Paul the Apostle said that’s how the Bride lost her virginity and became impregnated with the seed of Satan! The same Apostle Paul, who was completely vindicated, stood against anybody who dared to challenge anything he said upon the grounds of vindication!

Now let’s just take a look at that over here in the 10th chapter of the Book of Romans.

Now, not according to knowledge means they’ve listened to the wrong instructor concerning God! And the wrong instructor concerning God was Satan who raised a question! Against the Word of God.

That’s why I’m so strong on preaching Rhema Logos. A Rhema Logos God. They’re one! To question God is to question His Word; to question the Word is to question God. To deny the Word is to deny God; to deny God is to deny the Word. You can’t get away from it!

Let’s keep reading.

Being ignorant concerning what God said, turning it down by questions, turning it down by disbelief, turning it down some way, what do they do? They go and attempt to establish something that they can live with, and call it God!

Don’t you see the homos do the same thing right in a church? What in the name of common sense is the matter with people’s heads? Can’t they understand anything? No they can’t.

Because no politician can make a correct decision. Why? Because he’s already butting his nose into the house of God. He’s legislated.

You can have every filth in school, but you can’t pray! Oh I know the so-called Christians will say, “Well really that’s not the truth, what it is, it’s so and so.” Oh shut-up, you know it’s the truth.

Believe what? The perfect Word of God. So if He’s the end of the law, you don’t have any more law. You’ve got Christ Who is the law of life. And that life will respond to the Word.

That’s why Brother Branham said, “If you’ve got the Holy Ghost you’ll say amen to every word.” See?

Now you’re following the Scripture, see? When you study this Scripture in light of Brother Branham’s Message in his eyes, it’s an entirely different book, believe me.

You can’t say that with the Methodist, the Baptist and the Jehovah Witnesses and the Seventh Day Adventists, you can’t do it. You can’t do it, they don’t have it, none of them have it.

You’re right back to John 3:16,17,18! Believing on Him is not just, “I believe on Him, hallelujah, and I can do what I want to do.”

It’s believing Him Who is that Word and Whose life is in the revealed Word of this hour. And you’re looking right at Christ and Christ in your midst.

And it’s not just simply a play upon words, it’s a reality. I’m talking about reality, the Presence of Him here Who brought the Word is now here revealing it, and that same One is infusing and using His Word to bring the dead out of the ground, to transform a Bride and take them all away.

And what is the baptism with the Holy Ghost? It’s your token that you’re part of it. The rest is being done by a sovereign God. The fact that you got the baptism doesn’t mean that you raise yourself. It means you got the seal that God’s going to raise you. Let’s face it.

All right, what was I saying here about this whole thing? I’m saying this whole thing is here that you don’t ask questions. You see?

And Paul hit it.

Then they said, “Well just a minute,” when he went onto predestination. See? And over here in predestination, too far now, the 9th chapter, he tells them here.

Now you see that’s the spirit of the devil! Just makes you wonder how much of the wrong nature we still got, the wrong flesh, the wrong everything. Well we got the wrong flesh; we can’t do a thing about it.

But how much is our spirit under control of the soul to give the spirit that God allowed, not of God but allowed of God, and it takes our soul to give it the right nature. Do you know the right nature is to stand right by and just never mind what happens, God’s in this whole thing.

Like Brother Branham kept talking about old Noah, Noah just keep on building, keep on building.

And then when the ark is entirely built, and they say, “Well now you poor old fool, what now?” Just shrugged his shoulder and went on. Didn’t bother him any. But they were plenty bothered when the flood came.

Listen, there’s that spirit that always questions, questions, questions. This is exactly why it’s known… now listen, please don’t think I’m a woman-hater, I’m against anybody and my wife or anybody. Psychologically, women are the ones that ask questions, questions, questions, not men.

It lets you know plump and plain, right in the nature of a woman she cannot handle the Word, yet Hillary is a great Sunday school teacher.

I’m not against the woman, don’t think I am. Look, she was done wrong by. She was done wrong by. I don’t believe she kicked the traces over, I hope to God she didn’t.

Maybe just like Brother Branham said about Jackie Kennedy, with her water-head and the whole bit, he said, “Maybe if she’d have had a chance to hear the gospel she would have done right.” I don’t know.

But I’m just letting you know, look, what is in the world today? And he said, “Who art thou O man who resisteth His will.” See?

The questioning attitude, it’s not to question… it’s like the battle of Balaclava: “It’s not to question why, it’s not reason why. It’s but to do and die. And into the valley of death rode the six hundred. Cannons left and cannons and right, it volleyed and thundered.” See?

Then how many came back? Very few came back, but they obeyed the orders, because it wasn’t theirs to question, it was theirs to die!

And believe me, when we stop questioning God we will die to our senses and to the inferior cruddy stuff that’s in us, and we’ll be alive unto Almighty God, pulsating with the Word of life!

That’s our trouble brother/sister; don’t try to tell me different, you’re talking to a stubborn old goat up here. That’s got sheep’s innards. I’d sooner be a sheep looking like a goat on the outside than a goat on the inside looking like a sheep.

See I caught you flatfooted that time, didn’t I? Truth though. Truth doesn’t hurt anybody.

So what are we looking at here, brother, what is the devil’s question?

The devil’s question is to say: “Did God really say it?” The next thing he challenges, “Hey if you’re really the Son of God, do something.”

Jesus said, “I can’t do anything unless He tells me to and gives me the strength to do it.”

And Paul the Apostle told us the same thing! Where is it? Well it’s in Ephesians here somewhere; I just don’t have good minds like you guys, some of you guys, so I can’t find all these things.

But let me see if I can find it. Oh it’s not there, and it’s not there, where in the world is it? Oh yeah, and it’s,

It tells you actually the literal translation is: is unto Him that is able exceedingly abundant above all we ask or think, according to the fact that He is exercising His Own power in us.

That’s why Jesus could do what he did, and that’s why he said, “There’s somebody coming after me,” and that was Brother Branham, “who will have more success with my ministry in his life than I’ve got in my own.” Because it was end time, which was the epiphany.

You know if you a person’s epiphany is when that thing bursts upon him as the great majestic thought, this great thing. Well I’m going to tell you, this is what we have now at this age!

They come to church chewing gum. They came into prayer lines chewing gum. Now some of you parents get a little red in the face. I’ve watched your kids come in chewing gum. Don’t you know when your kids are chewing gum? I’m closing my eyes while I say it.

Brother Branham said somebody’s got to do it, like old Dick Lambert said, remember in our church over here on Highway 47?

He said, “It doesn’t have to be you.” He said, “No respect.”

Now with me you can chew all the gum you want, spit in my face, doesn’t matter, but when you… Brother Branham, different story. Because the Pillar of Fire hung there. I don’t have any Pillar of Fire hanging me.

I’m one of those unfortunate guys, but so are you unfortunate with me, but praise God we can eat the fruit of the land and go in. And as long as somebody else brings the fruit back. And it was brought back to us.

So all right now, what’s the next thing we see here? The devil comes along and said, “Well is this really God? Are you really? Is it really?”

Brother Branham categorically said, he said, and he proved it from Matthew 4, which we went to the 12th chapter, that the Spirit of Jesus Christ returns to the Gentiles, and does in the form of the Holy Ghost what He did when He was here in the flesh! Absolutely. Proving He’s risen from the dead!

Now we know positively, at this hour nobody’s come back yet, but it doesn’t matter, the proof is here! That’s what Caleb and Joshua did, and those ten guys that were so flaked out, they just couldn’t take it, they said, “Well I just don’t believe we can take the land, it’s too big for this. Why, we die, we this and that!”

And they brought these huge clusters back, the fruit of the land, and they tasted, they ate, and they knew the power of God! Because they crossed over through the Red Sea! They knew all these things; they tasted the things to come!

They said, “Well I just don’t know.” You know they die.

I’m going to tell you, there’s not one miracle we have to do, there’s not one thing we have to see, it’s all over. The resurrection must come! Why? Because it’s proven He’s risen from the dead!

I can tell you one of these days Brother Branham’s going to come back, you watch. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, he’ll be back.

So all right, that’s what you’re looking at. What was the devil’s question? “Hey, did God really say that? What did He really mean?” Again, “Hey are you a son of God? Come on; give me something to go by. Give me some evidence.”

Well I’m going to tell you something, God has always given evidence concerning His Word and I’ve been really drilling you on that.

You don’t find one thing in the Book of Isaiah that says it. You don’t find a thing in Jeremiah that says it. You don’t think anything in Amos and Joel and Obadiah the rest, and Malachi, and you don’t see it in Zechariah.

You don’t see it in one, but they had to be vindicated or they were not prophets. Why was it that Isaiah came to pass? He was a prophet, vindicated of God. Why do we understand Joel today? Prophet vindicated of God.

What about Malachi 4? Prophet vindicated of God. Every single one. And what about Jonah? Why tremendously vindicated, God made a special fish for him. Poor old God, God couldn’t create, you say God couldn’t create? You’re crazy. They saying God couldn’t create.

If God can’t create then he can’t create you anew. Yet you’re going to be dust and finally die, you take care of your… He’ll give you some type of resurrection body; throw you in the Lake of Fire for awhile, whatever.

See when it’s proven, it’s proven. Listen, do you realize that even a man’s formula, Einstein, the formula for energy, which nobody else knew and he did not know, but he said, “This could be it,” and it was it. That’s where the atomic bomb came from, right? And a lot of other things.

Now if a man can do that with his word, based upon what is here in nature, what is behind that nature, and if we ever learn from him, we have it made.

You don’t need to worry about what is it? MC=E2, or something? What is it, do you know? [Someone says: E=mc2.] Oh there it is, I was pretty close, I’m not a scientist. I’m not in mathematics anymore. I would have loved at one time, but not anymore.

All right there’s what you’re looking at, see? Now I think that covers that pretty good.

How many minutes we got left? How many? Thirty?

Well we’ll take a little question here and we’ll quit, because there’s no way I can ever get into that.

A brother wrote a question here, he’s quoting from… what’s he quoting from? Is this the one I want? No that’s not what I want.

I can’t give you this fellow’s question and me lose what I’m supposed to quote from, can I? I might have to leave that till tomorrow. I guess might have to do that, yeah.

So what else we got here? I get home and my table, I got the table laid out there, poor Alison can’t do anything, but she watches every tiny little bit of paper for me and… now where did that go to? Now I know you can’t answer me, so no use trying. But if you could, I’d sure get you up in a hurry.

Oh here’s a question here, I can answer this right off the top of my head. A brother writes a question, he said it concerning over in Daniel 12:11-12, and I’ll just look at that for a second and read it to you, and give you my little thought on it.

And this is one here I look at, it’s 12:11.

Okay, you got 1,290, and you got 1,335 days, what’s that, about forty-five days difference? Well frankly I don’t know. Could it be that there’s a little lull in there someplace?

I never heard Brother Branham tell it, and I never found anybody that knew the answer and I don’t know the answer.

It might be a little lapping over, might be a little lull, such as we go through maybe like Brother Branham said a thirty to forty day period before the Rapture takes place, when the dead come out of the ground.

And that thirty to that forty day period, like the time of Jesus Christ is where we get acquainted with each other again and see who’s made it and don’t worry about who hasn’t, because you know there’ll be people out there, you can’t worry anymore because you’re changed.

And also you get talking to each other and you can visit. But he said when the time for the Rapture comes, and the reincarnation, that Spirit’s amongst us, incarnate to us, then every eye is on Him, there’s nobody talking, there’s nobody in any position but riveted on Him Who is crowned King of kings, Lord of lords, God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, right down the line, the Altogether Lovely, the Rose of Sharon, the All in all.

So I don’t have a clue on this, and if I ever find anything Brother Branham said, I can’t remember anything he said, I would be happy to tell you.

All right, here we are, the brother mentioned the Feast of the Trumpets, little thought here, page 23, paragraph 176. Now I don’t know what book he’s got, but it’s sure not the book I got.

But anyway he says here, “Brother Branham says, “Seventh Seal hasn’t opened yet, you know that’s His coming,” and I am unsure what context the prophet is making this statement, but as I understand it the Seventh Seals were opened in 1963, with the revelation of the (something) under the Third Pull. Any light you might shed on this statement will be highly valued.”

Well I think the brother has the right understanding here, that it’s within a special context.

Now let’s face it, it’s absolutely certain in the Word of God that the Seals were ripped off the Book and the Book handed back to the Father, there’s nothing you can do about it.

So whether the revelation of every single seal was a hundred percent complete, as to our understanding of it, is another question.

But there’s no way in my mind, from what Brother Branham said, that those Seals were all ripped off the Book, and especially in the understanding that a book is a scroll, and there’s seven seals across the last little bit of it, like Brother Branham illustrated, he said you take a piece of paper and roll it like this, roll.

And he made a mistake the first time he preached on it though, and he had to come back and correct it. Because he said, “You seal it and then you roll it again and seal it, seven seals in and seven seals out.”

And I said, “I don’t know where he gets it but I don’t believe it’s right, but if he’s a prophet he’ll come up with the answer.”

Well the answer was, “I made a mistake.”

Seven seals on the outside. Right? Remember that? If you don’t remember it, go over your ‘Seals’ and ‘Breach’ and the whole bit, and ‘God in Simplicity,’ you’ll find it there down the road.

Now he said, “Now all right, let’s take this seal all rolled up here, let’s say we’re rolled up, we put seven seals, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and let’s say the seventh seal here has not been ripped off.” Is it open?

That answer is no. Why? Because God sealed it. How do you open what God hasn’t sealed. It’s the same way, how could you close what God has opened?

So therefore Revelation 10:4 is countermanded by Revelation 22:10, “Seal not the sayings,” it’s unsealed. And you cannot seal it up.

And Brother Branham mentioned the Seventh Seal is Revelation 10:1-7, which is the pure mechanics of it. And he said it goes plumb into eternity like a Roman candle.

Now Brother Branham also took… was it Matthew 24? I forget, 23, 24, and he said, “You’ll notice that there are seven seals here, except one is missing. Number seven.” And he said, “What is that?” He said, “That is His second coming, that is His coming.”

Now Revelation 10:1-7 is the Appearing, Who came down? The One that was on the throne, that had the Book, came on down.

Because Brother Branham distinctly said, “When Adam and Eve sinned, God did not leave His precious son and daughter to an archangel, to an angel, to a messenger, He Himself came down, so today.”

What do you got? So there you got it. Elohim Himself came down.

So all right, what you’re looking at then is literally a second coming, which we don’t know the hour of. And that is reserved.

Now for the Bride, remember it doesn’t really matter. Because the wise come out, the foolish come out, the foolish go back in, but the wise go in, the foolish come running, the wise are in there, the foolish cannot get in, no way.

They tried for a little while, you got one or two with the garment on, don’t have the right garments on, they’re kicked out. In other words the Word certainly absolutely separates, and it says absolutely concerning it, “Behold the Bridegroom.”

They beheld Him, they’re separated by the Word, now they’re completely singular unto Almighty God, I believe the dead will come out, and all the Bride is standing here, then they’re going into the Wedding Supper.

See? That’s fine, but the world doesn’t know one thing about it.

Now the point is this: what does it matter if we know or don’t know? It’s a great mystery, that’s true. But the thing is this: is there decidedly a misunderstanding amongst us concerning this Seventh Seal as though we got to do something to it?

We should not be doing things to it, in other words working this way and that way and coming out with our own understanding and angles.

When Brother Branham had categorically made enough statements and told us with the opening of the Seals, the Seven Thunders, we had everything to put us into the Rapture.

So when you put them together, you can understand it’s the same as the Third Pull. The Third Pull had different aspects; we don’t get them mixed up. The Third Pull. So with under the Seventh Seal. It was completely revelatory.

I don’t know anything in the Seventh Seal that is really a matter of chronology, but revelatory, because all the chronology is already in the Scripture, and Revelation 10:1-7 can be nothing more than 1 Thessalonians 4:13, right on down, especially 16: “The Lord descend with a Shout.”

Jesus doing all three in descending, the Shout is a Message, the voice is of the archangel raising the dead, and the Trumpet gathering us together and taking us up to the Wedding Supper.

So there are aspects I believe the brother is completely right here about various aspects. In my understanding the Seventh Seal is absolutely opened, every single Seal is opened, and the Seventh Seal was more revelatory than anything else, even as all the other Seals were revelatory.

Furthermore the Seventh Seal was corrective, because that which is perfect has come, and the seventh message was not so much a new message, which it wasn’t, it was the full revelation and bringing together the entire Word of God. So the Bride would be a perfect Word Bride.

So that’s how I understand that particular question we have here, and I think that’s about as far as we’re going to go, I believe he’s on the right track, and I hope none of you are too deeply offended at my rough talk and my way of doing things, but I tell you I’ve got a big stake in this church and I’ve got a big stake in a ministry.

And I’ve got a big stake in you people, on the grounds I’ve been with you for a long time. And you better just know positively there’s no way you can entertain the thoughts that are in this world here and in government that are absolutely set to be taken over by a dictatorial church, the Roman Catholic church and its harlot daughters, and they’re going to run government and everything else.

Now notice the government is running the church now, but the church is going to turn and run the government. It will take over. I don’t have all the ramifications, but as I studied and I saw what is going on, what these bills can do, of Mr. Kennedy, and you know what kind of a person he is.

He isn’t even fit to name the Name of Jesus. If he does, I don’t know what he thinks he’s doing. I think it’s a good idea he might call upon the virgin Mary, not knowing that’s [inaudible] and the rest of the heathen complex of goddesses, because that’s where they got the whole thing, let’s face it.

But there’s no way that that man has any right in our church and what we believe. In fact there isn’t any man, myself and you included, has any right in this church, we go by a Word that’s vindicated by the prophet.

And I’m going to tell you something, there’s the answer to the devil. We’ve got a vindicated Word, and the prophet stood by it. So let’s stand by the Word.

You say, “Brother Vayle, it’s very hard to do that.” I know it is.

Let’s stand at this time and be dismissed. Not dismissed, we’re going to enter into this worship service.

Heavenly Father, we want to look to You at this very hour as we are thinking of entering into the service of communion and foot washing, and that brings us to a point right here that Brother Branham mentioned concerning those who take communion and sit with us.

We don’t forbid anybody, but Father God in heaven I do know one thing, although each person examines himself, it had better be a tighter and tighter and closer examination as the hours go on, to see if we’ve rid our minds of every thought which is incompatible with the Word of God.

And not try to make the Word of God arrange itself according to our desires, whether they be even good desires which are well meaning toward people.

But even a well-meaning toward people would never ever allow us to cover the Word of God, because they would disagree and feel ill at ease with us. That’s not the purpose, we know that.

We know also Lord we’re supposed to present the Word in such a way as to not make it contemptible, but Lord if it becomes contemptible and we on the grounds of a spirit-filled pronunciation, then let it be, even unto death.

Because what do people die for? Not their lives, they die for a Word, and thereby die for God.

So Father help us to understand that that’s the same principle, as we die to our own flesh, we bring our own thinking under control, and have nothing Lord to say outside of that which has been vindicated, proven to be correct that this is the one and only Word, this Bible here, and what has been given, as vindication makes us to know we have the food, spiritual food in due season, we have all the rights at this hour.

So Lord tonight again we look to You for help in this service, and may the Lord God of heaven be glorified.

We ask it in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
