Revelation of the Rapture #01

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, again we are very grateful, rejoicing in Your Presence, thanking You for the reality of this hour. God appearing amongst the people coming to the Gentiles, by the Holy Spirit, to bless the people, called out for His name, even as You went to Israel.

And we thank you, Lord, that now we are not one whit behind, but Omega, and even greater, for we know at this time, that which has never yet happened, and will happen at the end of this six thousand years, man will walk into immortality. A group of people, who are very grateful for that.

We thank You, Lord, we have the assurance of this hour, the faith, that is risen in our hearts, to this end. Lord, we know it has nothing to do with us, as though we ourselves did it.

We rejoice in Thee, and Thy great Word, great Word of manifested promise. We commend ourselves unto this hour, that we might know Thee, and Thy ways more perfectly, in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, I didn’t bring a letter from some good friends of ours, the Hockenberry’s, saying how much they enjoyed the meetings.

But, you’ve met Sister Marg Glasser, she writes to the whole church, “Brother, Sister Vayle and all those that helped to make my stay a very lovely and happy one. Just want to thank you for all your kindness, and hospitality making me as well as all the other’s so welcomed in your midst. Was the happiest weekend of my life. The services, the ministry to me and the fellowship, and the last but not least, was the food was wonderful. Such great cooks. Thank you again for everything. God bless you all in Christ.” Sister Marg Glasser.

You’ve been so nice and thoughtful to us, a special thanks to all of you.

So, that was the way they all felt, and I’m very proud of you, commend you. I remember, way back in Quincy, I used to, I don’t feel offended now, because I’ll speak my mind, and somebody could get hurt.

I used to remember, when we used to come together, and with our little get-together’s with food, I’d wonder even if you’d brought enough for yourselves, let alone anybody else.

You know, you’ve developed fantastically, and, I want to tell you, you’re over the hump and far beyond. You bring lots for everybody. You cook beautifully, good hospitality.

Look that’s part of the Gospel, you know. Many people don’t put much premium on hospitality, but you read your Bibles, you’ll find out a big premium was put upon it. There must be hospitality.

And of course, a lot of that devolves upon those who take leadership in the church. That`s part of their job. A lot devolves upon the women. They have to do extra work, but, then again, you will be rewarded. Not even a glass of cold water, will lose its reward.

A lot of people, just don’t believe that Bible, in fact, the simplicity get’s over their heads, and they think if they’re very erudite spiritually very wonderful in many ways, that’s some great thing. Naw, naw, no. That`s not it. The simplicity is what it’s all about.

Now, let’s see: I’ll to just go along here, before I get in to reading out of ‘The Rapture’ book. And, make a little clarification of something Brother Branham brought to our attention.

And that is, I might as well sit down and be real friendly, can’t get too mad when you just sit down. If I could learn to sing like they do in the opera, you couldn’t, you can’t get too cantankerous singing the opposite, how do you sing to a man, saying, “I’m going to beat your head off, and then knife you three times in the ribs?”

Yeah, by the time you got through singing that, I’d be so incongruous, they’d laugh at the guy and throw a cream puff at him, and walk out.

So, you sit down, you don’t… Naw, I wasn’t going to say anything anyway bad tonight. Brother Branham made a statement, that I think, pretty well goes over a lot of people’s understanding. It’s not that they don’t understand it, but, it’s that they don’t understand it.

So, that in a never, never land, you accept what is said, and then you don’t know how to apply it.

Well, one of these statements is this: You must let your own thinking go. So, right away they go into a séance or sort of think they’re mystics from the Orient where, you look at the end of your nose, and you try to blank out and see how long you can remain thoughtless.

Like a woman one day, she phoned her pastor. I think I told you this, this was supposed to have been a true story back in Pentecost. And, she said, “Oh, pastor, I’ve had such a wonderful day, because of such a great revelation.” Well, he thought, this must be fantastic.

Said, “What was it?”

She said, “You know the Scripture says, “In such a moment as you think not, He cometh, I’ve been trying all day long, not to think.”

Now that’s not what the prophet said. To let your thinking go means this. When he brings a subject to your attention, act and think as though you’ve never heard of it. Because, you’re all messed up.

So, if you don’t let your thinking go, everything that that man says, and, I’ve got the same trouble trying to deal with people.

They’re always trying to figure, and evaluate, and put into context, what I am saying in the light of their understanding. Forget it.

You will never understand the Presence on the baptism with the Holy Ghost. Which proves, you haven’t got the baptism of the Holy Ghost in the first place, as far as I’m concerned.

Not trying to put anybody in or out. That’s not my job. But, when you come to certain things that Brother Branham taught, then you’ve got to go… blew!… and forget what you’ve ever heard.

Now, he categorically said, “The Rapture was a revelation.”

Then, if it’s a revelation, we don’t ‘got’ it” Huh? We don’t ‘got’ it. So, if you don’t ‘got’ it, put everything out of your mind. Because, if you think you’ve got it, you’ve got it wrong. Because, you don’t ‘got’ it. Right?

You really believe that? That’s nice of you. Because, ninety percent don’t, and they care less.

Now, how far did I get on the baptism with the Holy Ghost until I finally said, “Are you trying to tell me, that the baptism with the Holy Ghost and the rebirth is one and the same thing?”

I had to let my whole thinking go. “Is that what you’re saying?” “My God, is that what you’re saying?” “Now you got it Doc.” Oh, Yi yi yi yi…

Murder on the Rue Morgue, or on the Shanghai Express. I was shanghaied on my verbosity and my brain picking four and a half hours, and I couldn’t believe. “Shut up and forget what you think you know, because you know nothing.”

Paul the apostle, one day got very nice and said,

And he said, “What came the Word of God in you, It came out of you.”

Just shut up and sit down listen, now see what we’re getting at there, when a prophet comes on the scene it’s because all tables at the end time are full of vomit. It’s burpee food.

Now, it’s bad enough to eat food that isn’t sort of, pre-digested by somebody else, and you burp it because it’s sauerkraut and wieners, that’s first hand burp, without the second hand burp. Well we’ve had years of first, second, third, and fourth hand burp food.

That’s what’s wrong with the people in this Message. They can’t sit still, and when the prophet says, “Now, listen, I’m going to tell you something, that is not known. Or I’m going to put you right.”

They all evaluate it, by what they think they know. Why don’t you evaluate everything by what he said?

Now, that famous German fellow that’s full of adultery, now he’s trying to cloak with polygamy. Might as well, I care less what I say, because, I don’t care. We know what he is.

He never could take what Brother Branham said. Never believed there’s three and a half years left to Israel. Never believed these things that Brother Branham said.

So, he goes to Scripture and of course when he goes to Scripture he evaluates everything in the light of what Brother Branham didn’t say, or what he thought he should say. Big mouth. Now, you can’t do that.

Alright, Brother Branham said, “There’s three and a half years left.” He said, “The New Heavens and the New Earth is created after the White Throne. Which is New Jerusalem.” He put everything in the context.

Now, if you read certain portions of Scripture like,

Well, that’s at the great time, when He wipes away every tear, and there’s no remembrance. That goes to the book of Revelation.

He goes to the Book of Isaiah so It tells you.

Now, he tells you right there, that’s Mount Zion come down upon the New Heavens from the New Heavens, to the New Earth.

So, you know what it is, now watch, listen,

Now, that’s at the New Jerusalem. When the Pillar of Fire is over Jesus Christ, the Lamb. That’s verse 25 already.

Now, let’s go back over here. Now,

Now, right away, your mind goes zzzt, zzt, zzzt. There’s going to be a lot of kids born in the Millennium therefore.

He’s talking about New Jerusalem. “For the child shall die an hundred years old;”

Now listen, let’s read this. Just shows how stupid you and I get when we just have our own thinking.

Now watch.

Now, that ought to tell you, you don’t know what that means. So, don’t try to figure it. “But, the sinner being one hundred years old, be accursed.”

Now It tells you here, you’ll be a baby at a hundred years. You’ll be a sinner at a hundred years, an old man. Make up your mind.

“Oh,” you say, “well that’s…” Tell me what it is, go ahead. Without a prophet, you’re shot.

Now you know there’s something in there we’re not getting. Then, why try to get it? We say, “Oh Brother Vayle, we ought to know all things.” Tell God that, tell God that. See?

Look, when you’re dumb, you’re dumb. Smarten up, and leave it alone. Just leave it alone. Because, He’s running back and forth in here, in the New Heavens and the New Earth.

He’s telling you various things, that you’ve just got to let alone. Why? Because, the light the prophet shed for this hour is this; three and a half years left to Israel.

Now you go on reading chapter 66.

That’s already been taking place. That’s Christ, the Head of His Own house, that He’s building. You don’t build it, and I don’t build it. Why? Because, we’re the stones that are being built in. All these things have My hands made.

That’s right. There’s coming a time when He did Appear, and the rest don’t get the Appearing. And, the Appearing will bring you to the Rapture.

He tells you right there, that’s Revelation 19: and so the rod of iron destroys the Gentile. That’s where you come to it. He comes back, having made Himself known to Israel the 144,000,and now The Bride comes forth, and she’s blessed.

Now, you can put lots of things in here and say, “What does this mean? What does that mean?”

I don’t care what it means. I can only interpret Scripture, by what has been given to me by a prophet. Anything else, I’ve got to put it out of my mind.

You don’t read the Bible anymore, with the understanding you once had. That’s one of the toughest things in all the world to get away from. There’s no way. There’s no way.

You cannot mix this Message with anything, there’ no way. The minute you try to mix this Word, you’re completely finished, and you wipe yourself off the map.

So alright, the Rapture is a revelation. That’s what we’re looking at. So we’re going to take the book on ‘The Rapture’ and I’m going to read some of it for you. Beginning at page 27.

The Rapture 65-1204

[128] [1 Thessalonians 4:13] I would not have you ignorant brethren concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not as other’s that have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, even them that sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” [That’s God will bring forth with Him.]

For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that which are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not prevent [word ‘prevent’ means not to hinder those that are asleep] for the Lord Himself shall descend.

Now, listen close.

The Lord himself shall descend from the heavens with the shout, with the voice of the archangel, trump of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

[129]  Now, I want you to notice a great thing taking place here now. Don’t miss this. See? Now, notice, the Word says here in Thessalonians there’s three things… Notice, from the 13th to the 16th verses where there’s three things… that have to happen, before the Lord Himself appears.”

Did you hear what he said? Now, either he’s all screwed up, or he knows what he’s talking about. He’s a man so pitiful in his expression that he should’ve shut up and sat down.

Now, here’s where you’ve got to let your thinking go. Number one. See? Notice from verse thirteen – sixteen there’s three things that have to happen before the Lord Himself Appears.

Now, what’s he talking about? Now, right off the bat, your mind is so used to thinking of the Appearing of the Lord in the sense of fundamentalism. You can’t shake what you just heard. Unless, you’ve really been setting tight over these years.

Now, if you know anything about fundamental doctrine, you that no nothing, about how fortunate you are. A good raw old heathen, especially Roman Catholic, is the best bet in this Message there is.

Fundamental Baptist or Pentecostal, isn’t worth his salt. Unless he can get his brains knocked out and some more brains knocked in by God.

I’ve preached tough, and I’m hanging tough. Because, this is what’s wrong with this Message.

Now, listen again.

The Rapture  65-1204

[129]  Three things that has to happen before the Lord Himself appears. Quickly now, so we can close. See? The first thing happened, notice: a Shout; a Voice; a Trumpet, for the Lord Himself, (16th verse of the 17th chapter) Shout, a Voice of the Archangel, Trump of God.

[130]  Three things happened, a voice, a shout,… A trumpet, has to happen before Jesus Appears. Now, a shout. Jesus does all three of them when He’s descending.

Now, if that isn’t cock-eyed language. I’ve never heard it. I have to be honest with you. He’s got to be talking about two different things.

He can’t be talking about one thing. You can’t have Him up, you can’t have Him down at the same time.

Three things has to happen, before the Lord Himself appears. Jesus does all three of them when He’s descending. All right.

A shout. What’s is a Shout? It’s the Message going forth first, the living Bread of Life, bringing forth the Bride.

Now, who’s he going to, now, just a minute, this is a message. Now, let’s just go ahead a little step and acquaint you with the fact, that the Shout is the Message, but, the Voice is a resurrection. Right?

So therefore, you can’t get the Shout and the Voice mixed up. The Shout goes one place, and the Voice goes another place. The Shout does one thing, and the Voice does another thing.

And, you’re dealing with two groups of people, living and dead. Now, He does all three in descending.

A “shout,” what is a “shout?” It’s a Message going forth first, the living Bread of Life bringing forth the Bride.

Now, right off the bat, you’ve got to let your thinking go. Now, I ran into that when I heard him say it.

Oh man, I sat there, that December 4, Yuma, AZ, I said, “Brother Branham, you’ve said a lot of funny things. This, is the worst thing you’ve ever said in your life. If this isn’t the most cooped up thing. I’ve ever heard.”

Then I suddenly said, “Just a minute, when was he ever wrong…” So, Shout’s the Message. My thinking went. Now, if you can’t let your thinking go, you’re never going to get anywhere.

You can’t interpret the Word of this hour from fundamental hog wash, clap trap, balderdash, puke, vomit, you name it. You can’t do it. You can’t put new patches on old garments.

If you can’t start over again, you’ve had your day in court. You can’t interpret. Anyway, from a premise that’s fallacious.

If you start doing mathematics on the grounds that A² – B² where A+B into A+B, you’ve messed up like Hogan’s goat. It’s, A-B and A+B both in parenthesis, gives you A² – B²  Right? I think that’s right. Pretty close, because A² – B²…

Now, listen: What is a “shout?” A Shout, It’s a Message going forth first, the living Bread of Life bringing forth the Bride.

All right, let’s just go and find out.

Anointed Ones at the End Time  65-0725

[269]  Now, I want you to know this is sure. And, you that listen to this tape, you might have thought today that I was trying to say that about myself. Being that I was packing this Message. [How many messages are there? Who’s the author? How’s it get here? At what time?]

“I have no more to do with it than nothing. No more than just a voice, and even my voice against my better judgment. I wanted to be a trapper. [‘Ole skunk skinner’ Branham.” I love these old boys, sitting down on the dump heap, taking care of skunks. Ha ha ha. Wait until he sets in the jungle with the Father.]

“But, it’s the will of my Father, that I declare to do, and I’m determined to do. I wasn’t the One that appeared down on the river.” [Now, what’s he saying? There is a Message I’m packing.] “I have nothing to do with anymore than a voice.”

Who’s packing the Message? The One that Appeared down on the river. “I was only standing there, when He appeared. I’m not the One that stands here, and performs these things or foretells these things.”

Who’s doing the Appearing? The Son of man. Where is He doing the Appearing? Down here, on earth.

[269]  “These things that happened as perfectly as they are. I am only one near when He does it. I was only a voice that He used to say it. It wasn’t what I knew.”

So, shut up and sit down William Branham. He said, “Thank you, I’ve been doing it for forty years, what have you been doing? I’m not quite so successful feller, but I’m trying to get there.” Huh? Well come on.

“It’s what I surrendered myself to, that He spoke through. It isn’t me, it wasn’t the seventh messenger.

Oh no, It was a manifestation of the Son of man, it wasn’t the messenger and his message. It was the mystery that God unfolded. It’s not a man, it’s God. The Angel, the Messenger, was not the Son of man. He was a Messenger from the Son of man. The Son of man is Christ.”

Then Who came down? Saw Him right down on the river, came right down over him. “Yoo-hoo, up there.”

“I’m not there, I’m here.” I’m not trying to be sacrilegious, you might think so, but, I’m trying to get this point across brother/sister. I didn’t quite finish reading this. This is my favorite portion:

[169]  He’s the One that you’re feeding on. [You can’t even see Him. How do you know, we’re feeding on Him?] A man, his words will fail. But, you’re feeding on the unfailing body Word of the Son of man. It’s the Message going forth first.

The Living Bread of Life, you’re feeding on it. There is nothing outside this Message that’ll come to light.

The Rapture  65-1204

[131]  Now God has a way of doing things, He never changes His policy, He never changes His… He’s the unchanging God. In Amos 3:7 he said He would do nothing on earth until first He revealed it to His servants the prophets and just as He promised, He’ll do it.

[132]  Now, we come to the Church Ages, but, we’re promised in the last age, according to Malachi 4 there’d be a return again, a prophet in the land. That’s right. Notice his nature. and what he would it be like. Oh God uses that spirit five times: Once in Elijah, in Elisha, John the Baptist, call out the Church, …the remnant of the Jews; five times, grace. Jesus, J-e-s-u-s; f-a-i-t-h and it’s the number of grace, five letters. All right,

[133]  Now remember the Message is promised. And when all these mysteries have been all so bundled up by the Church of Ecclesiastes, it will take a direct prophet from God to reveal it. [What? The Message. What is the Message? The Mystery.] That’s exactly what He promised to do. See?

When? In Acts 3, yes, and in Ephesians 1.

[134]  Now, remember, the Word of the Lord comes to the prophet, not the theologian, the prophet. [So they want to make me a theologian.] He is a reflector of God’s Word. He can’t say nothing; he can’t say his own thoughts. He can only speak what God’s reveals.

Brother Branham said, “He was the only one that could do it.” He said, “Everybody else, couldn’t touch him. They could have their visions, have their dreams, have their discernment, they could have it all.”

But, he was the only one that could tell it exactly as he saw it. Nobody could, and he proved it by dreams, and he’d take your dream and he’d say,

“Junior, you didn’t tell me a dream.”

He said to Paul’s boy,

“Don’t tell me a dream Paul, I’ll tell you.”

And he told Paul things that I think Paul forgot.

You’re dealing with a super, super, man, who when it came to mind when God super-imposed His mind on William Branham, William Branham didn’t have a mind. Un-huh. “Oh,” say, “Brother Vayle, I can’t take that, it’s spiritism.”

I’m going to say what Peter said to Simon the sorcerer with his money, “That’s where you are going, right to the Lake of Fire.”

Your stinking theology is going to go with you. If, you can’t believe that, don’t talk about a Bible! Have at least the guts of a Bob Ingersoll. That’s right. I mean it.

There’s no time for make believers. There’s no time for unbelievers. Probably have a little time for foolish virgins. But, not much.

How can a prophet saying anything, but what God puts in his mouth? Where does He put it? In the mouth. It’s a thing that God does, that you can’t say nothing else. And, you’re born that way.

Anybody not born that way, would sure have a lot of faith to believe that way. That’s right, that’s right. Same seed. Different office.

[135]  And, no more than you could… If you could say, “I can’t open my eyes,” when you’re looking.” See? You can. You can’t reach your hand, when you can. See? You can’t be a dog, when you’re a human. You’re just made thus, and God has always to–in the ages, through Isaiah, Jeremiah, and all.

Elijah and the ages gone by when the ecclesiastical group get all mixed up, He would send a prophet, raised him up from nowhere. He’s to belong to none of their situations, speak His Word, called off the scene, and gone, just rugged man of the Truth of God.

Brother Branham got called off. Nobody’s going to believe what he was. Now do what you want, with what he had to say.

Now, let’s see if you can get rid of your own mind. Let’s see if you keep coming to the prophets can see with your own eyes, what the message with your own understanding. Junk it.

You say, “Brother Vayle, how far are you?”

Oh, about nine-tenths of one hundredth of a percent. You get there. I’m not very smart, I’ve got trouble. I tell you people, I’m not a prophet.

I’ve got to look at the Word, go back and forth, know there is something there. I just do it for something. I don’t say I the best I can, even.

[136]  And, it’s always… The way, you could tell him, He said, “If there’s one among you who’s spiritual or a prophet…” Now a prophet… There’s just a gift. There’s such a thing as a gift of prophecy in the church, but, a prophet, is predestinated, and foreordained for the hour. See? Yes sir!

[137]  Now if a prophecy goes forth, two or three have to sit and judge, whether that’s right or not, before the church can receive it. But, nobody’s set before a prophet, because he was absolutely, the Word of God. [You tell that to a Baptist.]

How many Baptists, or used to be Baptists? You ain’t no more. Got two former Baptists here. Cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb. Purged by the Word of God, on their way to Glory. Hallelujah.

Yes sir. One of these days, I’m going to tell you something. And, you talk about Brother Branham screaming around that stump, because he saw that eagle, and heard the Voice of God, as it were in the universe.

I say one of these days, we’re going to scream, just like we’re beside ourselves. You will, don’t worry.

Back in the old Pentecostal days, Brother Branham said, “People got beside themselves, and spoke in tongues, yet no words were uttered.”

They had to speak in tongues, to give expression. One day, as it were, strangled voices come out of out throats, because, there’s a depth of understanding in there, that cannot be expressed.

A mingling of spirit with spirit, soul with soul, a body just about ready to be glorified. I’m going to tell you.

You’re going to stand around, “Hm hm hm hm,” scream until the rafters tremble. You know what it is, where they have thunders, to thunder in your soul Not a bunch of junk that people say we have, but, the real Word of God. Okay.

He was the Word of God in his age. He seen God reflect…

Remember, the reflection I told you about? Sure. What’s he reflect? The only thing he is a mirror. He reflects what God gave him, and he reflects it to you and me. We reflect it right back. Yeah.

If that’s Living Word, he reflects, you reflect, and he’s reflecting God’s image to you, which is the revelation of what image you are in.

What will you reflect back, but the image of God. What are you? The image of God. Uh uh uh , “I don’t think I can believe that Brother Vayle.” Then you don’t believe the Word of God. Just don’t believe, you’re an unbeliever.

Why? Because, God said so. Well, ah ah ah, “I’m humble.” You’re a liar. You’re an arrogant, loud mouthed liar. “What’s humility?”

“Well humility Brother Vayle, huh huh huh.” Humility is saying about yourself, what God said. Made him a liar for forty-five years. Spit right in His face. Forget it. Thank you Jesus.

You talk about love in my soul. I’ll never know His love. There’s no way. No no no no way. If I’d have been God, I’d a-killed me. Stamped my guts out, and thrown them in the lake of fire.

That’s why I say, “if He wants to do that now, I’ll just have to be resigned or something. I’ve seen His love. I know His love. Humility? Ha. Stinking rotten trial, pride of the devil called humility.

They tried to make Jesus what He was. What He said, “If I say I haven’t seen Him and don’t know Him and I’m not the Son of God, I’m a liar just like you. I have seen Him. God. I know I am the Son of God. What are you going to do about it?”

“We’ll kill you.”

“Go ahead, I’ll rise up again.”

Oh boy, let’s just run around screaming. Just start screaming up. Amen. Bless God. Tell you what, this is enough to set a person’s soul on fire.

[137]  Now, if God is promised to send us that again at the last days to bring a Bride out of the ecclesiastical mess… Only way it can be done. Otherwise, it’ll never be done. The church can’t receive Christ. The Pentecostal’s say, “We can’t carry this Message on, with the condition of the Church is in today.” How are we going to…

He literally tumbles over his words. He wants to get the whole thing out.

[137]  “How are we going to carry out the end time, in the condition they’re in today, when everyone against the other, and everything else and ecclesiastically. Oh mercy, it’s a mess. Gone to denominations.

At anytime I ask, any historian, to say different. Every time that a message went forth in the earth, and when they organized, it died right there. And, Pentecost did the same thing, that they all did. Pentecost will come out.

[139]  You, Assemblies of God, when your forefathers and mothers come out of them organizations back there in the old General Counsel, they shouted and praised God and talked against those things and you turned like a dog to its vomit, and a hog to its wallow, and done the same thing they did, and now, ecclesiastical, you shut up their bowels of compassion, and you have a fellowship card before you can even get to associate with you, hardly.

[140]  And you oneness, God gave you a message like that, instead of you just going ahead and keeping humble, and go ahead, you had to turn loose and organize your group.

Where are you at, all of you? Same bucket. What is it? Bucket a bomb. That’s exactly the Spirit of God moving on. “I the Lord will plant, I’ll water it, night and day, lest some come and pluck it out of My hand.”

He quotes that a lot, before he’s taken off the scene.

[141]  He ordained these things to be. [Oh this is the end, that’s right. He quoted this a lot before this sermon.] He ordained these things to be, and He must send this.

The first thing when He starts descending from the Heaven, there is a shout! What is it? It’s a Message to get the people together, unless a Message He’s comes forth first. Now, “Lamp trimming time.” [Watch where he puts that, Matthew 25.]

“Rise and trim your lamps.” What watch was that? The seventh, not the sixth. And, they did. Some of them found, they didn’t even have any oil in their lamp. See? But it’s lamp trimming time.

It’s Malachi 4 time when you come… It’s Luke 17 time, it’s Isaiah… All those prophecies, that it can be perfectly set in order for this day in the Scriptures, we see what it living right there.

[142]  See. These things happen right there, my dear brother/sister, when God in Heaven knows I could die on the platform right now, you just ought to walk around awhile, it’s tremendous. When you see God come from the Heaven, stand before groups of men, and stand there, declares to us groups of men.

Now, I’m a man, and I stood there, I sat there. Right there, and God was in front of me. Because, He said so, and I wasn’t on a ladder, and I wasn’t up in the clouds.

Now, that’s not the baptism with the Holy Ghost. You can call it the churches, if you want. You can call it what you want, but, that was God standing there.

Now listen. “When you see God come from the heavens, stand before groups of men, and stand there and declare Himself.” Exegetasize Himself. “Just as He ever did. That’s the truth. The Bible open.” See, we’re here.

Now, he’s talking about the Lord, descending, but, they can’t realize: “The Lord said to my lord, sit thou on my right hand.” He’s talking about bringing the Son back to earth. And, the descent of the Son coming down to earth, is in step one, two, three.

And, He still doesn’t come down to earth, we rise to meet Him, then we come down to earth. Huh? Fear your own thinking. Denominational system is dead. It’s gone, never to rise again be burned. That’s what you do with the husk of the field.

You say, “Brother Vayle, you believe a horrible thing.” Do I? Then God’s a horrible God. I’m sorry, you telling me He’s a horrible God. When it comes to burning would you sooner burn than they? Would you sooner be loved or be hated?

Woman came to me years ago. Said, “Brother Vayle, I don’t know what to do, I just couldn’t take it, if I had to believe,” she said, “that God is a sovereign God, and that He predestinates one. He predestinates to one way and another to another way.”

So I said to her, “Well, that’s too bad, but that’s how He does it.”

[143]  And the denominational system is dead. It’s gone. It’ll never to rise again. It’ll be burned. That’s what you do with the husk on the field. Flee from it, get into Christ! Don’t say I belong to Methodist, I belong to Baptist, I belong to Pentecostal. You get into Christ. And, if you’re in Christ, there’s not a Word written in here, but what you believe it.

And, He’s already told them what a prophet is like, and they don’t believe it. They said, “Well bless God, I’ve got the Holy Ghost, I can read.” Phfft! Fap! I can read better than most of them, and I can’t read.

And, if you’re in Christ, there’s not a Word written in here but you believe it. I don’t care what anybody else says.

Then God makes the thing manifested, because you… When He pours the Spirit of God falls upon it, what happens? Just like pouring water on any other seed. It’ll live. It’ll bring forth of its kind.

[144]  You say, “I’ve got the baptism of the Holy Ghost.” [Now watch how he’s explains that in paragraph 148 later on. So please, hold your horses.] You say, “I’ve got the baptism of the Holy Ghost.” That don’t mean that you’re saved, not by a long ways.

You say, “Just a minute now, I just get saved first, and I get the baptism.” That is correct. But, you see, He’s talking about their baptism. That anointing.

[145]  Looky here, you are a triune being. You are… Inside this little feller, there’s a soul; the next is a spirit; the next is a body.

So deep inside comes soul, on top of the soul is the spirit, and on top of the spirit is body. Right?

Now, you’ve got five senses in this body to contact your earthly home. They don’t contact the rest of it. You’ve got five senses that are in the spirit in here, love and conscience, and so forth like that. But in here, is where you live. [That’s way down inside.] That is what you are, down in the soul. See?

[146]  Didn’t Jesus say the rain fall on the just and the unjust? Put a cocklebur out here, and a weed out here and pour water on them, and keep them under fertilization, and things like that. won’t they both live by the same water?

Come on. God made everything by one law. Like he said, “the orneriest woman, a prostitute can have a child.” And she got it, and the Lord gave it to her. He gave it because God laid the law.

Sure! But what is it? One of them will bare a cocklebur, because that’s all he is. The same cocklebur will raise his hand and shout just as the wheat.

Say, “I don’t like that.” I do, because the prophet said it. It’s going to get me out of here. I like anything that’s going to get me out of here. I’ll buy it, lock, stock and barrel. By the grace of God, I’ll milk it down to the last iota, if He lets me.

[147]  Don’t the Bible say in the last days, there shall come false christs, not false Jesus now, false christ, anointed ones, falsely anointed to the Word. Denominational anointed, but not to the Word, for the Word will bear record of itself.

Well, sit still folks, if you’re in the Word, you ain’t going to miss it. If you’re out of the Word, you are going to miss it, it’s just that simple.

Yeah, it’s kind of tough to preach like this. But, I can’t help it. He said so. I’m putting myself on the spot. I put myself on the spot for years.

I said, “This Word will come back on me.” The Word, the Word that you preach, and you believe, will come back on you. Period. If a denominational preaches, will come back on a denomination. Fire.

If you’re believing right, you’re one with this Word, you’re going to be that glorious class. Of the end of the Ages. Six thousand years, a group of people will not die. Wow!

What’s coming on the scene? Man, no wonder I don’t care about travelling the world, and looking at the things of the world. What do I want to worry about the world for?

Sure, I could get tickets, and just bum around the world. They say, “Oh Brother Vayle just come on over here, well put you on a safari. Who needs a safari? (that’s a big African deal) Pay your ticket, fine.

Who wants to go? Maybe, they’ll let you go instead of me. I’m not interested. Why? I don’t know why.

Say, “You’re getting old.” I’ve gotten old, and I’m not getting old, I’ve gotten old. But, I’ve not seen the righteous forsaken, or seen His seed begging bread. Ha ha ha and these guys have got gimmicks and rackets.

…the Word will bear record of Itself. It won’t need anything else; it’ll bear record to Itself. There will come false anointed ones. You’ve got my tape on that.

And that anointing, if you’d call one and say, “Oh, are you Jesus?” He’d say, “Certainly not!” They wouldn’t stand for that. But when it comes to, “Oh glory, I’ve got the anointing… Doesn’t mean a thing. That makes them Christ. See? Said, and it’s a genuine anointing.

Now that’s what he’s talking about over here. I’ve got the baptism, I’ve got the anointing. Doesn’t mean a thing.

[148]  Remember, Caiaphas had it too, and prophesied. So did Balaam have it and prophesied, would prophesy, that they don’t have a prophesy. That doesn’t have anything to do with the inside. Unless that was God’s seed, His gene from the beginning, predestinated, you’re finished.

I don’t care what you speak. You shout, speak in tongues, run and shout. There’s nothing. That has nothing to do with it. A cocklebur can count just as much, as any of the rest of them. I’ve seen heathen rise and shout, speak in tongues, and some drink blood out of a human skull, and call on the devil. See?

If you don’t want any of them sensations, and things, forget it. It’s your heart in that Word and that’s Christ. Bring it in there and watch It make itself known, just as It opens up like any other seed, and declares Itself for the age It’s living in.

In other words, if you’ve got that seed in you, you’ll see the watered seed of the Word for this hour. Because, you’re a part of it, and it’s a part of you. You’re not surprised, you’re gratified. You’re not horrified, you’d be glorified.

[149]  Luther could bring nothing but sprigs. These others, could bring these others things. We’re in the weed age now, Lutherans, genuine Lutherans had to bring forth genuine Luther. Genuine Pentecost, had to bring forth genuine Pentecost. That’s all. But we’re past that age and going on.

You’ve got to bring forth what? The genuine Word of this hour. Immortal, and when you, and this stage is when the first born, the first begotten from the dead come forth. They’re all going to be rising here. We’re going to see them, we’re going to be changed.

It’s resurrection time.

[150] You know the Catholic Church started out Pentecostal? And if the Pentecostal Church would stand two thousand years, it’d be in worse shape than the Catholic Church is now. That’s exactly! Now, I say that to my brethren, and sisters who I love, and God knows that.

And, Brother Branham did love them. I ask you a question. Brother Branham said he gave three quarters of a million converts to the Trinitarians, and Assemblies of God. Where are they today? Good question. See. Strict evangelization, isn’t it?

You put nothing on anything onto the Word of this hour, and the revelation. Because, those three quarters of a million, where are they?

Will they come up at the first resurrection? Will they be Bride? By no means, because they’re Trinitarian. Will they be foolish virgin? I don’t know, it’s quite possible, very, very, possible.

You say, “Were those the ones that Brother Branham saw? Could very possibly be. I don’t have a least idea… well I do have a least idea.

At least I believe they are… I don’t know. But, I don’t put a faith in it, as though there’s a revelation. I just don’t know. I would say that’s true. But, I don’t know.

Now, I say this to my brethren, my sisters, whom I love, and God knows that, remember friends, I’ve got to meet you all at the judgment. And, that may not be too long. I’ve got to bear record, as to what’s the truth.

[151]  When I went forth in the meetings, and you praying with praying for the sick, that was fine. But, when I came with the Message… [Now, he’s talking to Pentecostal] when I came with the Message…

Now, remember, he’s talking about the Message, on page 29, and paragraph 141.

[141]  He ordained these things to be, and He must send this. The first thing that come forth when He starts descending from Heaven, there’s a shout! What is it? It’s a Message, to get the people together.

Who came with the Message? William Branham. Who did he come to? Pentecostals. Who brought the Message? God! Who intoned it, echoed, reverberated, set it forth? William Branham! Who packed it? William Branham!

If any Message goes forth, if it’s a true message, if it’s true, genuine miracles of God, and it hangs right in that organization, you know it’s not of God, because that thing’s already declared.

In other words, organization didn’t do what he did. He stood apart from organization. And, the whole bunch couldn’t do what he did.

I still challenge them. Come and heal my hangnail. Don’t say, “Brother Vayle, have faith.” I’m going to stand back and have no faith. I’m going to stand here, and say, “You do it, William Branham could do it.” “Challenge you, bring your worst case.”

And every devil in hell stand back, just scoffing and snorting. Saying, “Nya, nya, nya, can’t be done.” And it would be done. Look at those heathen in India.

Those hundreds of thousands, he said, “You have been talking about God, so smart, you got all the answers. Come here, see this man healed in the name of your god. Come on. Oh, he said, “you’re awfully silent.”

He’d goaded them, just like old Elijah did up there in the Mount Carmel, the four hundred prophets of Baal, he said, “Come on, (he said) maybe he’s sleeping. Beat louder. Cut your bodies more, gush more blood. Dance harder, wilder, sharper. Come on (he said) he may be out hunting, on a vacation. Maybe he’s lost his eye tooth, and he’s hunting for it. Yeah, maybe he had a big drunk and he’s snoring it off.”

He goaded them. And Brother Branham, goaded, he said, “You’re awfully quiet.” He said, “What will you do if my God, in the name of Jesus Christ, heals this man now?” And of course the man got his eyesight.

So, he said, “You organizations, ain’t got it. I got it.” That lets you know that God is not confirming His Word amongst you. The Word of this hour. That which is going to turn the hearts back. See?

Now listen, Jesus went forth and healed the sick in order to catch the eyes of the people. Then, His Message.

Why did Brother Branham have the first two signs? The sign in the hand, and then, the sign of discernment. To catch them with the Message.

When the Message came out, phfft. You know Brother Branham was to the Pentecostal’s like a certain preacher I know, was to me, he bragged and bragged how good a preacher he was.

And I thought this man I got to hear, but I knew he’s bragged too much to be any good really. So he got …?…, and he’d super charge, and super load what he was going to say, then he bang, bang, bang, bla da, bla da, bla da… cut.

Anyone remember in those funny papers, those little guns you could buy, and you’d pull the trigger and a little flag comes out and says “pop?” Then he’d point to it and say ay ay ay ay… stop. And every time he’d look, ker-plop. Never went back. Never went back.

God came on the scene, with signs. Every biblical sign. And, was (clompfff.) What was it like the day that Jesus was crucified upon Calvary, with two thieves?

And the one thief railed, was …?…, and the other thief in the same condition and worse said he saw something. What could you see in a man that was supposed to be the Messiah, hanging on a cross and dying? And, he said, “I got it, You’re that King.” What did he see? It would blind, the cannons of heaven went off.

But the other guy …?…. Said, “Now that you’re the one, why don’t you get down and save yourself and us?” [said sarcastically] United Pentecost, Oneness people, they said, “Well, if He’d have been the prophet, He’d have come to us.” He did, and they died. Okay.

Miracles like that, just catch the eyes of people. The main heart of it is the Message. It’s what comes from ‘in here’. He’s trying to get the favor of the people, so they’ll set and listen to him. See?

For there’s some men there that’s ordained to life. What life? Ain’t going to die, …?… And some of the grain, wheat fell on the ground. The birds picked it up, some fell among thorns, some went onto prepared ground, pre-prepared ground, and brought forth.

Now,

[152]  The first thing is the sounding, a shout, then a voice, then a trumpet. Shout, a messenger getting the people ready. The second, is the voice of the resurrection. The same voice that, a loud voice in St. John 11: 38 and 44 calling Lazarus from the grave. Getting a Bride together, then the resurrection from the dead.

What Bride is He getting ready together? The non dead, from all over the world. Now, see, I hope you’re catching what in my heart, I know is right. He’s in our midst, this very Person, and I don’t care if the Bride is scattered.

To me, she is not scattered. She’s all in one place, so to speak, time and distance mean nothing anymore. That’s how time runs out, for you and me. In effect. Don’t take that too literal. Getting the Bride together, and then, the resurrection of the dead seen to be caught up with It.

Now watch the three things take place.

[153]  What is next? was a Trumpet. A shout, a voice, a trumpet. Now the third thing is a trumpet, which always at a Feast of Trumpets, is calling the people to the feast; that’d be the Bride’s supper, the Lamb’s supper with the Bride in the sky. [And we’re supposed to meet Him there. Then What came down?]

Oh, you can have a lot of things here, like I did years ago, He kind of descended by the Word, He did this. I went all around, and round. It’s the Logos. I don’t care what anybody says anymore. I guess I threw an awful lot of curves.

But, I warned people, I said, “Look, I’m not a prophet, I can’t hit things dead on.” I know something is there. And, if I just keep watching and waiting, He helps me, because I feel, I know what I am saying.

Of course, you don’t have to know what I’m saying. I may be saying it wrong. I don’t know. I’ve never told you people, I’m authoritarian. I’m an authority, therefore, authoritarian in everything I say.

I wrote a letter just today, I told a lady, I said, “Look, I’m not an authority.” Of course, I believe what I preach. I wouldn’t preach it. Of course I stand for what I expected to happen. I’m not a prophet. I’m a believer. I hope, a special kind of a believer.

All right, third thing, a trumpet.

[154]  See, the first things come forth is this Message, calling the Bride together. Next thing is the resurrection of the sleeping Bride, the one that’s died, back in the other ages. They’re caught together. And, the trumpet, the feast in the heavens, in the sky. Why? It’s the thing that takes place, friends.

[155]  We’re right there, ready now. The only thing, the Church coming out has to lay before the sun to ripen.

Stand still, can’t do it. Can’t do it. I tell a man, “Look if you’re coming here to have fellowship, fine. But, don’t come here, to try to tell me anything.” Try to put me right.

Fellow kept writing, he wrote me to say, finally he wrote me a letter, began getting letters and letters from a place in Arizona. I should have brought the letter.

He wrote a letter, he even spelled my name right, that was kind of tricky. See? How does this guy know me? He wouldn’t put his name, just ‘Occupant’. Put his address, he had the guts to put his address because he’s got a guilt complex, and wants me to find him.

So I did. Found out who he was. So I wrote back a letter, first of all knowing who he was, I said, “The kind of thing I could say about you sir, is I believe you to be insane.”

I said, “You talk about love.” I said, “Love cuts, what about cutting yourself?” You make a little circumcision there. Not the exact words, but you get those exact words fine. Finally I just began to just lay coal on him.

I made a phone call and found out who he was. Sure, he knows me.

So, I said, “It sounds like you follow a filthy evangelist. How many women do you have now? How many did you have? How many will you have?” Because I know his past. But, he excuses himself. He can have any number of marriage and divorce, it’s okay.

Not around Lee Vayle, you can’t. I’m going to tell you one thing. I don’t care about anybody. If you want to correct me, you’d better know what you’re talking about. I’ll slice you to ribbons. I’ve got One corrector.

And I’m not taking anything from anybody anymore. Because, either I’m right today, or I’ve been wrong all these years. And forget it.

I’ve got to take a man that says that, literally accusing me, he doesn’t call me by name, but it’s the same idea. Said, I went behind his back, because I went nowhere. Maybe somebody else did, I didn’t invite back stage, teaching.

I’ll ask you some questions, in this Message tonight. And my question is, how many men have put their thinking aside?

I started back in 1965, December 4, when I said, “Brother Branham, I’ve heard you say a lot of queer things, and far out, but this is the furthest out. I can’t take it.”

And then I suddenly said, “But, when has he ever been wrong?” Then the Shout, is the Message. I said the right thing. Fourteen years later, yeah, I went into Shout, as soon as he was gone. As soon as ‘The Rapture’ tape came out, before Brother Branham died, I was right into it.

I was looking up the word ‘shout;’ kalusma. I took a gamble as it were, for in other words, it’s my nature, it’s the way I do things, I’m not a prophet. But, you tell me where I’m wrong. See? I’m not gone to any church.

But, I’ve found this one thing, I’ve gone to church after church and laid this out, as I lay it out to you. And right away, they are oriented to the baptism with the Holy Ghost.

They do not know what I’m saying, and they interpret everything I say in the light of what they had in the past. So, they can’t get it. How many people believe what I believe? I don’t know.

How many know what I teach? I don’t know. And I’m not trying to be mysterious. I’m not trying to be somebody. I’m laying it on the line so you understand, that I know what I am talking about.

This is the trouble with us, with everybody, we can’t get rid of our own thinking. We refuse to get rid of our own thinking. We refuse to kick it all out of our minds, and start over again. And, when you can’t do it, you’re gone.

I’m sorry to preach this way, but I like it. You didn’t think I would say that. Ha ha. I didn’t think I’d say it myself. But one thing I know, I’m not a liar. Except when it pays, and this wouldn’t pay.

In other words, you wouldn’t poke me in the nose, I might lie to you. If you don’t poke me in the nose, I’d say, “You know I didn’t do it.”

Perhaps …?… didn’t do it, you …?… But other than that, I’m just kidding, you know what I mean. I always tease a lot. So, for land sake, understand that I’m teasing.

[All right,] we’re right ready now. The combine will come by afterwards. The wheat… the stalk part will be burned, but the grain part, will be gathered to the garner.

[156]  You’re not blind people. You’re sensible people, and if I stood here and said those things are prejudiced. I’d say it because it’s Life. Huh.

Who can believe that one? You know what? Everybody, but William Branham, was so used to guessing by nature of prejudice, and organization that they couldn’t believe that this one man, could stand here, and say what he just said there. “Well I could say the same thing.”

A man one day, said, “If I tell you a lie, I’m a hypocrite.”

And I said, “The guy’s a liar right there, and a hypocrite.” He’s trying to quote Brother Branham. That man can’t get to God, the way Brother Branham could. What if I get to God? Say, “Dear Lord, I will now take up my parable,”

He’d say, “What parable?” He wouldn’t even say, “What parable?” He knows that I know, that I’ve enough brains to know that He didn’t give me a parable.

And He knows, that I know that I have enough brains to know I’m not a prophet. A sanctified hooligan I am. But I’m no prophet. I don’t have a parable. I’m none of those things. I can’t get to God for answers. No, I’ve got to go the way everybody else has.

But I’ve got a little ministry. A little thing involved. I go to the Word. But, not being a prophet, many times I have to move around here and move around there, and , move around somewhere else. But always looking on course.

Like Brother Branham said, “Now, if I put that over here, that’s not north, it’s not east, it’s maybe northeast by northeast maybe.” What we’re looking at.

Now, it’s not do one, or the others, more… In other words, I may be tangential [almost irrelevant] at times, to the truth. But, by the grace of God, I’ll be dead on, before it’s over. Why? Because, I have to study to divide, a prophet doesn’t study to divide, it comes to him. Oh, my, my, hope you see what I’m saying.

He said, “You’re not blind.” I say, “Because, it’ Life, because I’m responsible to God for saying It, and I must say It.”

In my message. “Gee, I don’t go for ‘my message’.” Well, it was Paul’s gospel, and Moses’ law. What’s the matter with people? Oh I’ll tell you they’re jealous. Stinking, filthy jealous.

“Oh, I want to be the big shot,” says a man out there in Oklahoma, with the building the thirty-seven stories high with a big hospital, and millions of dollars, and could sell… what do you call them… screen doors to Eskimos.” We don’t belong to that bunch.

All right, and my Message, he calls it his Message. Why? Because, it was given to him. Paul said the world is going to be judged by ‘my’ gospel. Right.

Do you know something? Show me where Paul ever went back on the Gospel. I can show you where Peter did. Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty.

When we get to be choosey brother, we better be choosey, because we have God’s choosey, the word is choosey. And it zeros in, we zero in on Brother Branham.

All the time knowing back there under healing and so forth like that, was just to catch the people’s attention. Knowing the Message would come.

And, here it is! What Message? The Shout, the Lord descending from heaven with a Shout. He does all three in descending and He’s got a Voice.

Then people smart off, and sit under a pastor and say Brother Branham made a mistake. You’re as rotten as your pastor. That’s all. And them Seven Seals opened.

For you say, “Well, the Seven Seal wasn’t open so you raise up Clay L. Morgan. Clay L. Clay and el, meaning God. A man taking the place of God, tells you flat.

A special name like Oral, Elvis, Ricky. Come on. There’s one seal left on that book, and it ain’t open. What are you going to do with it? Pry it off yourself?

He said, “we have everything to put us in a Rapture.” If that Seventh Seal isn’t open, then we don’t have everything to put us in a Rapture. Because, we’re gone in the Seventh Seal.

Because, Brother Branham said, the seven Trump to Israel, is the same as Seventh Seal to us. They were prophets. The Seven Seal is Revelation 10:1-7. God and man.

Somebody the other day said, “Well, you see I believe you’re supposed be …?…” I believe those two prophets, but you see, they’re really two ministries in one man.”

I said, “Hogwash, they’re two ministers.” Brother Branham said so.

Yeah, remember the bullet that got off the track? That’s that… a little whiff of air at the muzzle, and it got way over there.

Man said, “I’ll just correct this,” the bullet comes down. Hogwash. You bring the bullet, all the way back. You put it right in the gun and you super charge for another blast. And this time get on target.

I don’t believe anybody’s getting this tape, caught that. No way, shape and form. Unless they believe the way we believe. Bring it back and start over. Sorry about that. I’m not going to budge folks. I’m not going to budge.

[157]  …Seven Seals is open, those mysteries in showing those things what happened. I didn’t know, but, there’s men standing here, right now, standing right here with me. When you all heard me preach the sermon ‘Sirs, What Is The Time’.

And that morning exactly, they were just where they said it would be. There stood seven Angels standing right there from the Heaven. And as they went up in that whirlwind taken them up there, we standing, watching as they went away, science took the picture of it all the way across the nations, down into Mexico. And there I was watching.

[158]  One day, when I started to preach those Seven Church Ages, I called Jack Moore, great theologian. Said, “Jack, who is this person that’s there standing there?

[Now remember, that was in the Patmos vision, Revelation 1:12-18.]

There’s one like the Son of man standing there, with His hair white as wool.” I said, “He was a young man, how could he have hair white as wool?”

Now remember Brother Branham called Him the Judge of the Patmos vision. Now listen:

[159]  He said, “Brother Branham, that was His glorified body.” That didn’t ring the bell. [That would’ve rung part of the bell.] “When I went to the room and started to praying, He let me know what it was.

But, you see the glorified body is not the answer. You’ve got to get a definitive answer.

[160]  See, I’ve always preached that He was Deity, not just a man; [Now listen, Don’t get carried away with Jesus only.] He was God manifest in the flesh, God, the Attribute of God of love, the great Attributes that came down, displayed here on earth of God. Jesus was God’s love, which built a body that Jehovah Himself, lived in.

He didn’t say, “Jehovah was the body.” He said, “There was the body He built to live in.” Now, that’s what he was looking at. Do you follow me?

He was the fullness of the Godhead bodily. What God was, He manifested through that body. That body had to die, so He could wash the Bride with His Blood.

You see what I’ve been teaching? I said, I finally showed you, I looked at it. But, I kept watching the Judge, until I realized and I showed you. From the quote, He’s King of kings, and Lord of lords, we crown Him. He’s incarnated to us. That’s what he was looking at, is that Judge.

Now, you’re looking at the hour, of when all the cataclysms break on earth. But, who was It in the form of the Pillar of Fire that came down? Was Elohim, was Melchisedec.

Who was It that came down, and stood as He stood before Sodom and Gomorrah? It was the Judge of all the earth.

But, as Judge, He’s got to take on a body. As King, He’s got to take on the body. As the Lily of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon, the Bridegroom, the Lover of our souls, everyone, He will be incarnated there, that’s the great consummation.

You say, “Brother Vayle, will there come a day when He disembodies Himself? Yes. The Lamb will sit upon the Throne of Mount Zion. And it said the Pillar of Fire over Him.

You say, “Perhaps there will be a division.” I don’t know, exactly. But, you see, people don’t understand, how God does these things.

Try to keep telling you. How many people catch the understanding? He’s the Son of man, the Son of God, the Son of man, the Son of David. They say, “Oh, no. Son of man, Son of God, Son of David.” Hogwash.

I’m sorry, it’s Son of man, Son of God, Son of man, Son of David. And literally, if you want to put it that way, He’s got to be Son of God to Israel temporarily, and come down to show Himself, and everyone gets sealed in. That’s got to be Son of God in a certain way again.

He can do what He wants, because He never changes, essentially. And He can manifest anytime He wants, anyway He wants to. But, you’re not going to tell people that, they won’t let their thinking go.

“Oh no, we think a certain way.” Well, you think a certain way and you’ll die, with your thinking.

Now:

[160]  I’ve always preached He was deity. [Okay]

[161]  And notice, not only the Bride, washed and forgiven, she’s justified. Now listen, See? Did you ever try the word ‘justified’ to see what it means? Now for instance, Brother Greene heard that I’d been drinking, I’d been bad things, then he found out I didn’t. Then he come to me and said, “I forgive you Brother Branham.”

[162]  …Forgive me! I never done it. What are you forgiving me about? See? But if I’m guilty, then I can be forgiven. But, I’m still not just, because, I did it. The word ‘justified’ means as though I never did it at all. Justified. And then the Blood of Jesus Christ, cleanses our souls from sin, until it puts us in the Book of God’s forgetfulness. He’s the only One that can do it. We can’t forget.

[163]  Now, I can forgive you, but I’ll always remember what you did those evil things. But you’re not just forgiven. But, in the sight of God, the Bride is justified. She never done it in the first place. Amen.

Now listen, that is a decision, made by God. What’s He doing? Judging the Bride, free. Sure.

He went and disclosed Himself to Abraham, and said, “Abraham, I’m going to go down there and take care of that in judgment, but, I’m not going to judge you.”

And, He said, “You’re going to have a son by Sarah.”

She said, “Ha, ha, ha, me and who else?”

He said, “Just a minute, way is Sarah laughing?”

She said, “Oh, come, come now, I really wasn’t laughing.” In the face of God. And, the record of her doesn’t say that, in the book of Hebrews chapter 11, said, “By faith Sara received strength to conceive seed.”

Didn’t even put it against her. Now, was It not written in the Book of God’s Remembrance. It was put away, she was justified. Oh, merciful God. I could scream, why not scream, scream, scream.

We ought to start screaming; realize what God has done for us. Had it going around so stupid, so ignorant. Prophet came on the scene, God standing here in a Pillar of Fire, and said, “Little Bride, you didn’t do it at all.” We stand there, and spit in God’s face. Yeah.

Listen to half baked preachers! Makes me sick. Get so sick, that I don’t want another tape to go out. I want to move out of this church, I’ll preach here, if anybody wants to hear me, or I’ll go home and preach, scream to my wife.

Might as well tell her good things. I tell her bad things, I bawl her out the odd time. Might as well tell her the good things. Just between her and me or something. I don’t understand people.

What do they think? Who came down? He does all three in descending. Who’s here? “Oh, He always was here.” Hogwash, He was always here. Not what I’m talking about.

Not when the prophet said, “Just to think, how wonderful, the same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word to Paul, is here revealing It.”

Was He here before, doing it? He would require a prophet. Where’s your prophet? Alpha is Omega! There weren’t five prophets in between, there’s one in the beginning.

You’re not just forgiven in the sight of God the Bride is justified, she never did it in the first place. Amen. Standing there. Marriage is a virtuous thing to a son of God, never sinned in the first place. Shoo, boy, to believe that one.

Why she was foreordained; she was trapped into this, and, now when she heard the truth and comes forth, the Blood cleansed her.

How can you make a man a sinner, when the Blood of Jesus Christ, scatters sin until there be no sins at all, standing. And there she stands virtuous. See? No sin in her at all.

Who makes verdicts like that? Judge. The Judge of all the earth, shall He not do right? What’s right? Will He condemn the righteous? No way, they’re going to escape. Who’s righteous?

[164]  Therefore, the Message calls the Bride together. [He says that in 2 Thessalonians 2:1. At the Presence…] The shout and the trumpet. The same morning, with a loud voice He screamed out The Shout, and that voice woke Lazarus. With a loud voice He cried, “Lazarus come forth.” See? The voice, wakes up, wakes up the sleeping Bride, the sleeping dead.

How did we get wakened up? We’ve had a spiritual resurrection. Shout.

[165]  Always a trumpet called to Israel the Feast of the Trumpets,… one was the Pentecostal feast, great feast of the sky, feast of the Trumpets. And now, a trumpet announced a calling together, calling to the feast. And now, that is the Lamb’s Supper in the sky [now watch,] the assembling together in the Bride, the Feast of Trumpets, and Wedding Supper.

Now listen, we’re going to meet Him and Who comes down with the Message? He said, “That same Jesus who walked on the earth in the flesh is here, in the Spirit.”

Is that too hard to understand? Is that too hard to believe? Can’t you let your thinking go? Let it go! And you come forth what? Justified.

The day’s going to come when we’re going to see that in each other, in the sense that we’ll believe it. Now, we can believe it for ourselves, because we’re not too half bad, but the other guy’s a skunk. And we think well, maybe he’s better that I am with that. Yeah.

We have seen it in types. Now, watch a moment before we close.

[166]  Notice, we saw in types. Now I want you to read Matthew 18:16… three bears records. See, 1 John 5:7, and so forth… always a witness. Is that right? It’s a verification, something is right, Three witnesses… In the mouths of two or three witnesses let every word be established.

[167]  Now notice, there we have two witnesses, there’s the witness now, We’ve already had three raptures, it in the Old Testament [did you know that] as a witness. Now watch, Enoch was one; Elijah, one; Jesus the other. Jesus, being the Keystone now. [The One between, you see, the crossover] He bears record. See?

He was the Keystone between old and new, because He had to die first, then rapture. He died, come to life. Walked around here, then was raptured up; because the Keystone that tied the two together.

After His resurrection and rapture (look!) after He did that He proved the Old Testament there, we all know that Enoch was translated. Elijah taken up in a whirlwind, in a chariot of fire. Jesus died, buried, rose up, lived on earth and then was raptured up, the Keystone. Three to bear record/ Is that right?

[168]  Now, there’s been one rapture already past. Did you know that? Let’s go real quick to Matthew 27:45, let’s see if we can’t get a little right quick. …the sixth hour darkness over all the land… […ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani saying, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?]

Some stood by… heard it, said, he’s calling…Elias. …straightway they ran, took sponges, [and so on, you know the verses there.]

Then It said, the veil of the temple was rent… he screamed with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

…the veil of the temple was rent, top to bottom; the earth quake, the rocks rent, …the graves were opened, many bodies …?… the scepter rose, came out of the grave after His Resurrection, and went to the holy city.

[169]  One rapture over, that happened in the Old Testament. Three’s happened, in the Old Testament of them prepared who the Lord prepared, who the Word of the Lord, came to. See? The Word of the Lord, came to Enoch. The Word came to Elijah, prophet, see? The Word of the Lord was Jesus. See?

[170]  Watch in the Old Testament. [See, caught up by Him.] Old Testament saints, [now watch in the Old Testament,] now them Old Testament saints when this rapture first taken place.

Notice, verse 50: His voiced awakened the Old Testament saints just exactly like the loud voice, wakened Lazarus. See? The loud voice awakened, the 2 Thessalonians 1, the 4th chapter.

Let’s read It… See? “I would you not being ignorant, brethren, concerning those that sleep, and sorrow not. Now, there will be a second rapture. The second rapture will be the catching away of the Bride.

Now listen:

[171]  The Old Testament saints have gone into His presence, paradise done away.

Now you wonder, are they in resurrected bodies yet? Where are they? Just what I said, they were up in His Presence. Had to be before the Throne. They’ve got to be. It says His Presence. Okay.

The Old Testament saints ascended up it’s a loud voice when He screamed and He gave up the ghost. Because why? The sacrifice for propitiation of sins, that they waited on… Believing that perfect Lamb was coming. They offered up the sacrifice of lamb. Do you see as a type?

And when He died and yielded up the ghost, He screamed with a loud voice, the Old Testament saints awoke. Watch the shout and the voice over there, the same thing at His coming. See?

Yielded up the ghost, and when He did the sacrifice was perfect, paradise was emptied out; the Old Testament saints come out of the earth again, walked around the earth, and, entered into the rapture.

We’re going to do the same thing again this time. They are going to empty out, and we’re going to see Him. We’ll empty out of all mortality. Nothing left but goodies.

Okay:

[172]  David said, “Lift up ye everlasting) gates, and be lifted up.”

[173]  He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. When the Old Testament saints went in with Him, they said, “Who is the King of righteousness?

[174]  The Lord of glory– mighty in host.” [I’m just quoting what he said, he’s stammering over it.] Here they come in, marching. Jesus lead captivity captive. And here He comes with the Old Testament saints, went into the New Gates up there, and said, “Lift up ye everlasting gates, be ye lifted up, let the King of Glory come in.”

The voice came from inside, said, “Who is the King of Glory?”

[175] The Lord mighty in battle.

Do you know what that means? Boy he said, “I just shook the gates of hell loose. Now, better open them in a hurry, I’ll take these off the hinges too.”

Oh, come on, he didn’t have to say that. It was his right. But, I’m just letting you know.

Look, who’s going to stand in His way? He done come forth a conqueror over hell, sin and death, my brother my sister. And we’re the love of His life. We are His life. Let’s get down to nitty-gritty. See?

All right:

[176]  The next Rapture takes place, in 1 Thessalonians, for the Church, the Bride will be resurrected, to be raptured into glory. “We which are alive and remain [that’s the body left on earth] will not hinder those which are asleep; for the Trumpet of God shall sound first, the dead in Christ shall rise. Then we which are alive, remain to be caught up with them.”

[179]  Look, the second resurrection, all the first one’s past. Second one is at hand right now, will come at hand now.

[180]  Now, the third one, [of this series, one, two, three] is the two witnesses of Revelation 11:11 and 12, which these are the two that turns back, with the Spirit of Christ, to witness to the Jews like Joseph did to his brethren.

[Notice, it says two of them, not one.] And you remember their dead bodies laid in the streets for three and a half days. Then the spirit of life came into them, and they were raptured, taken away up into Heaven. There’s your three raptures in the New Testament. Three raptures in Old, all of them past.

[181]  Now, we’re ready, waiting for the rapture. The rapture of the saints. It has been spoken. It’s been spoken, so, shall it be.

[182]  When God says anything, all heavens and earth will pass away: but the word will never fail. When God said back there in Genesis 1: “Let there be light”… It might’ve been hundreds of years before there was even any light.

He said, “Let there be a palm tree; let it be an oak tree; let it be a desert; let there be a mountain; let there be this, let there be that.” He spoke it. You see? As long as it went out of His mouth, in a Word, it had to be manifested. It has to be.

Now:

[183]  Then one day He called out His people, He spoke to a man named Moses in a Pillar of Fire, a Light, holy, sacred Fire. Moses wouldn’t… The people wouldn’t believe Moses. He said, “Bring them up to this mountain.”

[184]  That morning, the mountain was full of fire, flashing, thunder like that, and the people said, “Don’t let God speak, let Moses speak, (see?) lest we perish.”

[185]  And God said, “I will not speak to them anymore like this, but I will raise them up a prophet, I’ll speak through him, and if what he says, comes to pass then you hear it, because I am. I’m with him.” Now, He spoke that. He said it’ll come to pass.”

[186]  Look at this prophet, Isaiah standing there, a man, intelligent, a man was well thought of by the king, because he lived with Uzziah the king, which is a great man. Tried to take a preacher’s place one time, went and got leprosy. And that’s what I told the Business Men.

You said they are not lepers? Then you’re denying what the prophet said. Business Men want to run around, have a business and get in the pulpit. Not this pulpit. Not interested. This is mine.

You say, “Why?” Because, I’m going to be fully responsible, and I won’t be responsible long. That’s right, if you’ve got an ax to grind, you come and see me. But, you better be very sharp, and, know what you’re doing.

Now, that’s just truth that’s all. I’m not boasting, I’m not a braggart, I’m not a fighter. I’m just telling you flat. I’ve gone through with it. I’ve had it up to here, or I’ll walk out and go someplace else, which I’ll go home and that’s the end of my ministry. I kid you not.

Unless God forces me, I’m not fussing at God. I’m not fussing at you people, I’m just telling you flat. I’m not an authority. But, I believe what I preach, or I wouldn’t preach it. I’m standing on It. I’ll live with It, or I’ll burn with It. Now, that’s all there is to it. I’m not sitting on a fence. See?

So don’t get any queer ideas around me, and shoot your face off, you’re on a roll. I’m not fighting with anybody. Look it, I’m not hitting at anybody, I’m making flat statements where I stand. That’s all.

And I keep making when I say anybody misunderstand me, it’ll be on fifteen or sixteen or twenty-six tapes.

And I’ll say, “Look, I told you, I’m doing my best. If I’m wrong, you show me. Who came down? And if He was down, He couldn’t come down.”

Say, “Brother Vayle sit down.” Shut up, ignorant! What kind of a jerk are you? I am sitting down. And let’s not talk like fools, or I’ll take the word back, if you heard another word, fools like idiots.

William Branham didn’t come down. He was already down. Brother Branham said, Revelation 10:1 came down on earth the same time that he was down here.

And he said, Revelation 10:1 is Revelation 12:12-18, Revelation 5:1 also, what He said it was. Go and check It out.

Who came down? Who was there, that he was a voice to? Then they say they believe in a prophet. They don’t believe in a prophet. Not the prophet I believe in, I’m sorry. Let’s get the record straight.

“Well,” you say, “Brother Vayle, I just don’t go that far.” Thank you, that’s nice, I’m glad you told me.

You’ll eat your words. What did I preach the other day to you on Communion? What did I show you? Are you baptized, do you got the wrong baptism? No. Did you take Communion, you took it wrong? No. If you’re anointed, are you full of the Holy Ghost? No.

If you interpreted what Brother Branham said, in the light of your own thinking, when he said, “Let your own thinking go. Listen to me, as a brand new teacher of the Word, as it came to Paul.”

Paul was stunned. “How long are you going to persecute me?” Mercy, (ohfff.) …?… “I’m Jesus” Hogwash. Phfft! You’ve got to be kidding.

I’m going to tell you, when that Voice said, “I’m Jesus,” his thinking went… (Phfft) It was gone. There wasn’t one more person that he wanted to hurt. There wasn’t one more case. He was gone!

When your thinking goes, you’re gone. If you go mentally you’re a vegetable, or an animal. And when your thinking goes, because you put it aside, and the thoughts of God become yours, then you are in the image of God.

In the ‘Greatest Battle Ever Fought’ son, remember you were talking about it two years ago, two sermons. ‘The Greatest Battle Ever Fought’ in mine, on faith in the mind. When I saw that night, I knew something happened to Lloyd.

You’d say, ‘‘How do you know?’’ Don’t ask me how I know, I’m a wizard. that’s right, I’m the witch doctor. I threw that in on purpose to jar you, to the teeth. But, I didn’t did I? No, I knew.

How? Said, ‘‘You know a lot of things?’’

No, I know hardly anything, but I know what I believe. I know the year, and I’m not talking about the baptism with the Holy Ghost. I’m talking about the Baptizer with the Holy Ghost is here. Yeah. I’m talking about the One who gave the Word, who was the Word.

He said:

[186]  ...I told those Business Men. Don’t ever try to take a preacher’s place. No sir! You stay right where you’re at. See? You do your work, what God told you to. If you’re a finger, you’ll never be an ear. If you’re an ear, you’ll never be a nose, nose or eye. Stay in your position.

But, they didn’t do it. Brother Branham called the big shot, he had a talk with him, he kicked his feet into the dust, and walked off with tears in his eyes. Why? Because, he’s back in love with Dr. Price.

What was Dr. Price, along side of William Branham? I knew them both. Yes, I knew them both. Under Dr. Price’s family, at least the two girls.

I was a close friend of his business manager, the late Charles Jackson, who is a business manager and the aide du comme to General Booth. And I said, “Brother Jackson, tell me how do you compare General Booth to Brother Price?”

He said, ‘‘All the people, ask me that question. And I’ll say this one thing, General Booth is only man fit to polish Charles Price’s shoes.’’ Now I knew Price, and I knew Brother Branham. Don’t ask me any more questions, if you can’t figure it out.

[187]  You heard the message the other day, on the broadcast, ‘‘Trying to do God a Service.’’ David anointed king, all the people shouted, they were screaming. It was right, but they never consulted God’s prophet.

And, a man died, the whole thing was marred. Don’t try to do God a favor. You wait, till it’s God’s term. Let it come in His way of doing it. I’ll start this big thing, I’ll do this. Be careful, brother.

He told a certain man, “Don’t run around. He said, that day is over.” Run, run, run, run. Annie get your gun. Run, run, run. There’s a sinner in the brink, we’ve got to get him in our boat.

Do you know something? “Come out of her my people,” sounds more like a call to proselytize, than it does to win souls, so called. Except when you get them out, you won a soul.

“For he that saveth a brother from his erring ways, has saved a sinner,” so to speak. He has saved his soul from sin, and brought him to life.

[188]  Now, David knew better than that, Nathan was in the land in that day. He wasn’t even consulted at all. See? Hint, hint.

The prophet said, “Here I am, why don’t you come.” So Brother Boze stood there, and he preached, ‘End Time Evangelism’. Have you read it yet? Good, a lot of you are nodding, I have to bring it to church, and read it to you,.. you bunch of birds.

Oh well, don’t feel bad, I haven’t read it myself, since the last time. If I read it before that, so I told you to read it. I read it with that in mind too. Umm.

Why do you think Brother Branham said a lot of things? You know why? Because old Lee Vayle sat there as a great theologian. Ha, ha, ha, a great theologian came to me and said to me this day, I just laughed the other day, and he said, “Brother Branham, that great thing coming is character isn’t it?” It’s not character.

Well, I would of flunked that test anyway, so let’s keep walking. Fruit? How many want to try for fruit? How many want to try for charismatic? Ha, go ahead and talk in tongues, nobody can prove that one. Anything else they can prove, though you’re on the spot. Anything, but junk.

They can’t prove anything about junk, for anything else puts you on the spot. Everybody talk in tongues. Go back to Pentecost. Phooey. Uh, uh, uh, come on. That’s anointing.

What about nearness of God? How do you get near? Tell me how you get near and prove it? What about obedience? When did you flunk last? What’s the great thing coming? He’s here.

No popes, no holy men, no characters, no characterizations, no fruitages, no additives, He’s here. I believe that.

Listen, I’m not being funny. They didn’t consult him. He consulted captains, of hundreds of thousands. Big shots I put that in there, big shots. All the people shouted, screamed and danced.

They all had religious motion, religious motion, but it didn’t say notion, it said ‘motion’. but it wasn’t in the line and order of God’s Word, and it failed. Anything else is not in line and order of God’s Word will fail. Only God’s Word, will stand forever.

“Heavens and earth will pass away My Word won’t pass away.”

[189]  Notice in Isaiah, intelligent young man standing there. All at once the Spirit his him. he He couldn’t say no different, he was a prophet. He said, “Behold, a virgin shall conceive. Unto us a Son is born, a Son is given. His Name shall be called Counselor, Prince of peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father.

How could it be all those things, and born? He’s going to have a body. He’s going to get into it. And He’ll be there, in that body. He’s going to do it again. Oh my.

The Government be upon His shoulders… no end of His reign.” How could an intelligent man say a virgin would conceive? Everybody looked for it.

It’s been spoken; it’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. Had to come to pass, because it’s God’s Word the same as Genesis when He planted them seeds down in the sea, when it was without form, and void, water was upon the deep… had to come to pass.

[190]  One day, eight hundred years later the womb of a virgin, conceived the Seed of God, a created Seed. She brought forth a Son. That same Son stood there one day and said, “Lazarus, come forth.” A man that’d been dead four days, rotten nose fell in stunk; came forth. Said, “Marvel not at this.”

He said, “Don’t get excited, there’s going to be a whole bunch come forth. Man, he said, if you get excited now, he said, what are you going to do when the resurrection itself, takes place?”

You know that, I ought to think of that myself. What was it like the night I heard Brother Branham say, “I challenge you to bring me twenty-for or twenty-five of your worst cases, I’ll guarantee healing.”

Then I saw hundreds go through the line, and not one miss. But I didn’t put it together, until a few years later. Man, if that was something, what about this?

What about when that sweet Spirit comes into the Church? You say, “Brother Vayle, I can’t wait until you get it.” (Ha ha) You’re not half as waiting as I am.

“Marvel not, at this, the hour is coming (amen) when all in the grave, will hear the voice of the Son of God.” And so, then it’s been spoken, it has to come. There’s going to be a rapture.

[191]  Oh, my! I remember my last message in California, I thought I’d never go back again, predicted Los Angeles, would go under the sea. THUS SAITH THE LORD, It will! she’s done; She’s washed; She’s finished. What hour? [She’s washed up he meant, not like she’s washed like you and me.]

I don’t know when, but it will sink. It’ll be something. Right after that, the earthquake began to jerk her around. Do you know that those earthquakes have been going on steadily, for I don’t know how long now?

That there’s no ceasing of earthquakes in California literally hundreds. There’s no cessation. They had a big whopper that last year, remember six on the Richter Scale.

[192]  You remember, many of you men standing right here that rock, that day, when the Angel came down there, that Light and Fire falling from Heaven around the rock where we were standing… rocks flinging out the mountain, falling across there. That when that whirlwind came down, blasted three times hard… Now listen, I said, “Judgment will strike the West Coast.”

How come? Not just prophetic, you’re bringing in the Judge in on that now. Because that’s a verdict.

[193]  Remember, that same God that said that, said Los Angele, is doomed.

That’s a verdict. It’s a prophecy. See? You’ll never get a Judge without a prophet. Because he is a son of man, which is prophet, He’ll be a judge. That’s why you see, what we’re coming to, we’re in it right now. She’s finished. I don’t know when; I can’t tell you.

[194]  I didn’t know I said that. But this brother here I believe it was one of the Mosely’s, I believe had me out on the street out there. I didn’t know what it was, till I looked back.

And I looked back in Scripture, and Jesus said, “Capernaum, Capernaum, how oft… You exalted yourself (rather) up into Heaven be brought down to hell, for if the mighty works, had been done in Sodom, you would’ve stood today.

[And that was about one hundred and fifty years, as Sodom had been on the earth.] …then Capernaum is in the water, today.

That’s true, they found it you see, Brother Branham was correct on that.

[195]  And that same Spirit of God that says all these things, and done all these things, that said there, “Oh city, Capernaum, who call yourself the name of the angels, Los Angeles. How you’ve exalted yourself into Heaven. [The very root and seat of Satan. See?] You’ve exalted yourself.

[197]  You that call yourself the name of the angels, if the mighty work had been done in you, it’d stood today. But your hour’s come. You watch and see. If it ain’t, I’m a false prophet. See? There she is, she’s laying there.

Now:

[198] Before I seen that, I seen the preview of the Bride. I stood there, seen a beautiful little lady, just correctly dressed just marching this way. There was somebody standing… in the vision, I seen, said, “The preview of the Bride.” I seen her go by. They come on this side and went around.

[199] And I heard her coming up; the church coming the other side. That was the Asian church. Oh, you talk about filth. The European church. Oh my! Then I heard a rock and roll singing, you know, the Elvis gang. [That’s right, rock and roll Beatles.]

Miss America, the church. Didn’t even have any clothes on. Papers, like newspaper, [you know, the hula skirts] grey, holding it in front of her, dancing, rock and roll… Miss America church.

[200]  I stood there in His presence. And I thought, “Oh, God, as a minister, if that’s the best we could do, oh.! You know how you feel. Now I thought, “God hide me; if I could just get away from this here. If that’s all we’ve done. If that’s what we produced, if that’s what…”

[201]  And then all them women passed by, doing all kinds of rock and roll things, and short hair, and painted faces. And they passed by, supposed to be virgins to Christ… And when she passed by like that… I turned my head, you know this… Just holding that thing in front of me; it was disgraceful, the back of them.”

Did you know that Billy Paul later on got a picture of Barbra Streisand, when she went to receive her award, that’s years ago now, that the front of her skirt hung down, but she showed the entire part of her buttocks. Isn’t that marvelous?

What was she trying to do? Was she trying to show her buttocks to the audience, what she thought of them? Was she trying to show her shame? She did a good job. That’s the filth that’s in the world.

Now, nobody here would ever go see a show by Barbra Streisand. I don’t think I could stand to her sing anymore, but one time she had a voice. But, the world calls her great. Is that great? A prostitute?

Did she ever marry the guy? Yes, she did marry the guy she had a child by. I don’t know. But, look at your Swedes, and your Norwegians. The Swedes especially, come over here, and shack up with men, and live in adultery.

When Ingrid Bergman tried that, we had a Senator at one time, who called it, ‘a disgrace’. But, when she came back to America, they hailed her as ‘a good genius.’

I’m with Gertrude Stein, not with her homosexuality, but she said, “A rose, is a rose, is a rose, and a whore, is a whore, is a whore.” I don’t care if she’s Ingrid Bergman.

I don’t care is she is you. And I don’t care if she’s me. You say, “Brother Vayle, why are you so tough?” There was a time, when Moses crossed… when Joshua, took the people over to Canaan land.

And there was a guy there by the name of Aachan, who took the Babylonian silver and gold, and their garments. And he brought sin and death into the camp.

And Joshua said, “My son, give God the glory, confess your sin, which you have done.” And he confessed his sin. They took the whole tribe out and destroyed them.

Now, I’m going to tell you something: every tongue will confess, and every knee bow, that He is Christ to the glory is God the Father.

It’s about time we got serious about these things. We are, I know, because I know, the prophet taught us. But, we’re too prone, to let these things go by us. I, I, I ,I, hide myself, I know by my sarcasm, and my derision. But, it takes more than that.

[201]  When them women all passed by, all doing those kind of rock and roll things, short hair, painted faces, supposed to be virgins to Christ… [I turned my back. How disgraceful.]

[202]  I turned my head weeping, I couldn’t stand it. I couldn’t stand it, Him standing there, me know, that me a minister of the church (I’m a minister) and that’s what I produced for Him? And I said, “God, I can’t look, let me die. Let me just fade away.”

[203]  As soon as it went out, every time one would come up to a certain place, and drop off, just sound as they went away. Then I heard what sounded like ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’. And I looked, and there come that sainted bunch of little girls, just as exactly the way they was, all correctly dressed, hair hanging down their backs, moved clean, marching like this to the step of the Gospel.

Now, right away someone said, “Well, we better have our hair hanging down, because, Brother Branham saw it hanging down then, and he saw it hanging down beyond the curtain of time.”

Now, there’s some people out in Tucson pulled that. And so they looked, going around, old women going around, with their hair hanging down like a haggis bag.

Brother Branham said, “Why don’t you just tuck it up over your head, you won’t sweat so much.”

Now, you can run with anything the prophet said, and just run, run, run, and run plumb into the gates of destruction. Why run with anything? Sit still, be still and know that He is God.

Remember Brother Branham, accused the people of this time, that they couldn’t stand sit still, for the Resurrection. I preached a sermon on it. And I know that I am right, because I did what he said, and I took the Scripture on it.

All right:

The Rapture 65-1204

[203]  …smooth, clean, marching like this… [I guess the men were smooth, and the ladies were clean.] …some of every nation. Instead of going down, they started going up. [Wonderful, they weren’t falling off. They were going up.] I noticed one of them trying, two or three were getting out of line;

Billy Paul tells me his dad let him know secretly, someone that he saw, getting out of line. But of course, he wouldn’t tell, but he was just a gentleman. So he saw the church of this Age, but they got in line when he screamed. Only one Bride out of seven.

[204]  Wonder, could it be already passed? Could the Bride be already called? Is that what we’re going through today? She has to be molded, into the image of Christ, and Christ is the Word.

How could you be Christ the Word, and be in an image, if you had that stuff that was creeds and dogmas? It says, one word changes, the whole thing.

He said, “You made void, My Promise, My Commandments, My Word by your traditions.”

I don’t want to have the Rapture voided in resurrection. I want to be in It. I’m not here to fight. I don’t care what anybody believes, anymore. As long as I believe right.

You say, “Brother Vayle…” Don’t Brother Vayle me. It’s man to man and one to one now a days, kid. What can I do for any of you? Nothing!

Well, unless I had a little admonition, or something. My merciful God, can I give a hair on your head? Nothing I can do for anybody.

You want a meal? Sure, I’ll give you a meal. See? Christ is the Word, that’s the only one, the only thing. See? It’s in there, it’s in the Word.

It’s just… you see… There cannot be one thing added. Can’t be a woman with one hand like a man, and the other like a paw of a dog. It’s got to be exactly the Word of the Lord. Like He is the Word. The Bride is a part of the Bridegroom.

A woman is a part of her husband, because she was taken out of the husband. Oh my, we’ve got to go into this sometime, some of these things are so rich and they’re true. See, these things aren’t theoretical. These are real things. Eve was a part of Adam, from his side.

And so was the Bride. Not taken from denominations. But, taken from the bosom of the Word of God, of this age. The Rapture.

Trumpet of the Lord shall sound, the dead in Christ shall rise, the glory of the resurrection share. When the chosen ones gather home beyond the skies. When the roll is called up yonder.

Let’s try all friends to be there. God bless you, It’s been spoken, It has to come to pass. It will come to pass. Let the people know, and no one wants to die. No one wants to be lost.

Let me tell you, whatever you do. I don’t care how well you go to church, how low you are to church, that’s fine, nothing against that. You should go to church. You do that.

Keep on going to church. Whatever it is, throw away your traditions, and move on up into Christ. How are you going to get up there with Him? And into? You won’t get it by traditions. You’ve got to get it by the Word.

Get your own thinking, thrown away. See? The very thing of fruit, the very thing of character, the very thing of works. How do you know if you’re not even one to the Word? And, with the Word.

And where is your character? Well, where is it? Where is your fruit? Where is your works? Where is your nearness? Where’s your obedience? Where’s anything? That’s what I want to know.

See, that’s what people don’t understand about this Message. They go this, they go that, they go the other thing. Why just …?… “Well, Brother Vayle, you preach as though you’ve got it all.”

How do you expect me to preach? I believe, I have got it. I don’t know that I’ve got it, as though I’m vindicated. But nobody. Read the books that go around. I wouldn’t bother your brains, with them. Bunch of hogwash and junk.

And one guy quotes about the visions he’s had. What people… I don’t care what anybody had, William Branham was either Elijah, or he wasn’t Elijah. He was either right, or he was wrong. Brother Branham made a mistake. Fap!

Then say they believe in a prophet. Then the prophet could just be anything. And, Who is above us? Come on. Come on. Church, we’re not that kind of hogwash. I know you’re not. Throw your traditions away.

Keep moving up, right into Christ. Because, it’s going to sound one of these days. That’s Trumpet. And, you’re going to be caught with the mark of the beast on you, and not know what it is, until it’s too late. That’s exactly right.

Well, I’m not sorry I kept you. Now look: there’s no way you can leave this meeting tonight, and not know more clearly than ever, what I preach, and what a believe, what I stand for, what I’m saying.

And, I’m saying again: do not analyze anything Brother Branham says, or receive it, or anything I say, hopefully, in the light of a previous knowledge. Because, you see, I have had to give up my previous knowledge, on the two most important things of my life.

Number one; on the baptism with the Holy Ghost. Number two; on the revelation of the Rapture. The second revelation didn’t mean too much anyway, because I was confused to begin with.

Because, I had gone from one to the other, pre-tribulation Rapture, to post-tribulation Rapture, to heaven knows what. And I couldn’t see anything, even with the prophet, trying to teach me individually. I wouldn’t let my thinking go.

And, I went back and forth, till I said, now you remember what I told him; I said, “Brother Branham, when I saw the room getting dark, and I saw the spiritual atmosphere closing in, blanking out and I became scared, and I said, “Brother Branham, could I ask you one more question?”

He said, “Certainly, Brother Vayle.”

I said, Brother Branham, I can’t seem to follow, but just this one thing is it ‘Thus saith the Lord’ the Bride will not be in the tribulation.”

He said, “Lee, it is ‘Thus Saith the Lord.”

I said, “Thank you Brother Branham.” I believe it. I will understand it. And I do.

And I understand what no living Greek authority knows. And I don’t care who he is. Because, I know something from God, they don’t know. Which is a revelation, and that is that Word in the Greek holds good every single time.

It means ‘great tribulation’, it has nothing to do with the White Throne. Because, the White Throne, is not a place of anger, or resentment.

It is not a place of rapid demolition, it is carefully going through the entire record, and saying, “Well Sir, I know you prophesied, I know you prophesied correctly, but there is no record here in the Lamb’s Book of Life of you.”

There’s a record in the Book of Life, but you see, you turned down the Word, and your name was taken out. The Judge doesn’t throw a tantrum, so to speak. So God doesn’t throw tantrums. Please don’t misunderstand what I am saying.

When you’re dealing with the Judge, it is a cold calculation, based upon a Word. Then, the execution of the verdict. Now in fury, He comes back judging the nations with that rod of iron. Blood flowing. This is different.

One group comes up, and He said, “Ah, your name I see, is so and so, it’s in the Book of Life. Yes, (and He said,) I was in prison, and you visited Me. I was sick, and you came to help Me. I was hungry, and you fed Me. That’s what the record says?” “I don’t remember.”

“Oh.” He said, “When, you did it to these brethren,” He said, “You did it to Me. Come on in.” See what I’m talking about?

The judgment is set. You don’t have to throw tantrums, pull deals. You don’t have to show authority. It’s already there. Just a minute it says here, “now call your witnesses.”

The man says, “But, didn’t I cast a devil out of you sister, when you could’ve died in the insane institution. Your kids would never have seen you again.”

She said, “Yes, you certainly did.”

But look It says here that, “I’m sorry, you weren’t a part of It.”

“When did we ever do that nice thing?”

“Come here, do you remember that person there?”

“Yeah.”

“Well you did it to them. That was for Me” Oh, Praise God.

Let’s rise.

Heavenly Father, we’re glad to be counted as those who were counted worthy, in Him that is worthy. And Lord, we’ve had a good time, I know I have, rejoicing and getting exuberant, loud mouthed, even over the Word pressing points and everything else.

But, I still feel good in my heart, Lord, that even if I was rough, if I was this, if I was that, and you know my heart. I sure can to people be all these things because, you know me and I know me, and, I’m not in the resurrection yet.

But, it’s sure been good, just to have been here, and going over these things. And to know that we’re simply not, barking into a barrel. We are not saying different from the prophet. We are not doing it, because, absolutely we know this to be true.

What you have set forth here, and it goes all the way through the Word. And, we have let our thinking go. And, we are not going to re-examine our thinking, because, we know our thinking is right with the Word.

That’s what’s wrong with a lot of people we know, Lord, You said they would go back to the vomit. Why should we go back to vomit? No intention to. No intention.

We will not go back to their theory of Rapture. Their theory of this and that, Lord, because, we are looking at a Word.

And, Father, we would ask this little privilege of You, which we know that we have every right to ask. And, we have confidence in asking it. And, we know that You hear us, because it is something that is in Your Word.

It’s what Paul said, “Bringing every thought into captivity, obedience into Christ,” and we have the prophet, William Branham, who brought the same Word that the prophet Paul did. Said, “Let your own thinking go.”

Now, Lord, that is what I would like to do tonight. And I don’t know if I can, but with Your help, I know I will achieve it, so will every Bride, achieve this. Which therefore, is not impossible.

We can, and do, and will let our thinking go, until like Brother Branham, our thoughts will be of You. Our thoughts will be one with the Word.

And, then the reflection, will begin to come back, where it will be, and then, Lord, we know the prophet said, “If two people ever, had the same mind,” which I think I’m quoting roughly, and we know that mind would have to be Yours, there’d be a Rapture.

So, Lord, here we are, ready and waiting for the minds to come together, and the understanding of Your beautiful Word here, Lord, which is life at this time and which we’re coming into. And, we know there’s a people that are not going to die, they are going to live forever.

So, Father, how can we ever thank you enough? Our hearts are full of love in a measure. In our own little way. At this time, how can we know, Lord, how deep, and this and that?

But, Father, we will say this, thank God… we do thank You, that You are working in us, and You are moving and helping us to the extent that know we are coming up into Thee.

We believe we are with all of our hearts. That this richness, this joy, this everything that we see here, we want it more and more. And, Lord, we know, that there’s going to come a place then when that great cataclysmic change comes, the atoms, literally explode into a newness.

Just like coming out of the grave. It is a new creation. God, as the prophet said, creating anew. Those what has even gone to gases. There’s a Holy Spirit …?… Creating anew. And, bringing forth a body. And, Lord, what a body it’s going to come forth. We praise Thee, O Lord.

Now, Father God, may You and You alone, this way that the prophet has laid it out, receive all the pre-eminence, and we, in sincerity, and sobriety, and under the shield of Him, who is our All in all, just mold us, into that image. Yes, yes, Lord, yes we believe it.

And, Father, you know our hearts. Of ourselves, there isn’t one thing in us, of a human structure, that would even want anything we’re talking about. But that deep in there, let It scream, let it come forth in these human vessels as Lord when you burst those gates of hell, and took over.

Take over, Lord, in these clay vessels. Whatever it costs, it’s going to cost. And that will be less than nothing for the dividends that are coming forth.

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

The Lord Bless You.
